Chapter two: Friends?
"Hyung please!"
Jeno flinched when he heard something shatter over his head. He saw glass shards pile up in his lap. This was new, over the course of the evening his aggressive boyfriend had thrown lots of heavy things at Jeno. But all of the things he chose to throw had been unbreakable . This was the first thing that actually broke.
"I said I didn't want you talking with him didn't I?" He towered over Jeno and leaned his face into his. "You should know by now that I can get jealous easily, this is your fault."
It was enough to make Jeno break down into tears. His boyfriend had been so caring and kind when they first got together. Jeno moved in with him after just a few short months to relieve his parents of his financial burden. Little did he know his boyfriend had a monster in him just waiting to come out.
"Are you crying? Are you seriously crying over this? You're weak and pathetic Jeno honestly I'm not sure why I'm dating you."
Jeno felt a cold rough hand grip the back of his shirt and he suddenly felt himself being lifted off the ground . He could feel his feet dragging against the floor but kept his eyes shut, too scared to see his boyfriends angry raging face.
For a few seconds Jeno felt weightless, then he felt himself make contact with the ground. He groaned and rolled over on his side. He felt a nasty bruise coming on his face and he could feel blood streaming out of his nose.
"Find somewhere else to stay the night, you can comeback when you are ready to apologize for what you've done."
He slammed the door behind him, leaving Jeno lying in the dirt sobbing uncontrollably. He didn't know where he found the strength or the courage to move but before he knew it he was standing at the front door to his trusted friends house. All his friends had decided to get together that night but Jeno had declined to go because his boyfriend didn't allow it.
Jeno knocked at the door three times, trying to stay calm. But, the second the door opened and the friendly trusting face of Mark Lee came out, Jeno immediately collapsed into his arms and started sobbing into his chest.
"Jeno! Are you okay? What happened?" Mark asked alarmed as he quickly wrapped protective arms around him and pulled the smaller boy inside the house.
"He kicked me out! He hit me, I'm so sorry Hyung I should have listened to you earlier!" Jeno sobbed into Marks' shirt causing a stain. Mark could only rub Jeno's back in comfort while his other concerned friends came out of the living room to see what was happening.
"Don't be sorry Jeno. He seemed like a really sweet guy, you had no way of knowing he would do something like that."
Chenle immediately went to look out the open door and make sure Jeno's boyfriend hadn't followed him then he shut the door tight. Haechan went to take Jeno from Mark and direct him to the living room while Jisung went to grab some medical supplies for Jeno's injuries.
After a lot of condolences and comforting the five boys had successfully calmed Jeno down. Renjun went to get him a change of clothes while Mark helped him take off his shirt and pants so that he could address his injuries. Luckily it was nothing serious so he didn't need to go to a hospital. Just a bloody nose and a few bruises here and there. He would be back in shape with a little rest. Once Mark was finished Chenle helped Jeno change into Mark's change of clothes.
Currently Jeno was fast asleep on Mark's couch wrapped up in his blankets while his friends talked in hushed voices so as not to wake the sleeping boy.
"I'll get Jeno's stuff and get it back to his parent's place."
"I'll go with you Renjun, I don't really think you're in any danger but I'm definitely giving that guy a piece of my mind."
"Like you could kick anybody's ass seagull."
"Not the time Hyuck."
"Should we tell the police?"
"The guy's father is sergeant of our division, and the police around here are so corrupt it's pointless."
"Then what do we do?"
"I'll take care of the son, but from now on we all need to keep an eye out. We can't let that asshole go anywhere near Jeno."
"Agreed." They all said simultaneously.
They all looked over at their friend's peaceful sleeping face. He had a fresh bruise forming on his cheek but he still looked calm. His friends had really taken good care of him.
"We won't let this happen again Hyung." Chenle said solemnly.
-----
Jeno snapped out of his daydream and realized he was already standing in front of the school gates. He had really zoned out for the entire walk to school. But why was he thinking about that now? It had been several months since his breakup with his abusive ex and he had barely thought of the guy since since that happened. His supportive friends were there for him to make sure he didn't have moments like the one he just had.
What was different now?
Jeno shrugged it off and walked inside for his first class of the day; History.
"Settle down class, settle down." Mr. Nakamoto said while the students settled in their seats. Jeno, who was still reeling from the traumatizing flashback he just had, awkwardly stumbled to his seat earning a few judging glances from his classmates.
"Today we have a new student transfer from Jeju. Class please give a warm welcome to our new student, Mr. Na Jaemin!"
Jeno whipped his head to the door to stare at the handsome man walking in.
"Hello class I'm Na Jaemin I hope we can get along." Jaemin bowed. He spotted Jeno in the crowd of students and shot him a cute smile. Jeno's sweater paws flew up to hide his now red cheeks. The action made Jamein's heart swell, god how could one person be so cute?
"Okay Jaemin why don't you go sit there by Jeno? I'm sure he can help you adjust. Won't you Jeno?"
"Mmmhum." Jeno responded from behind his sweater paws which were still covering his face. His classmates giggled at him and so did Jaemin making the poor boy even more embarrassed.
Jaemin walked down to Jeno and took the empty seat next to him.
"Hey, we met yesterday at the Moomin store right? Glad to have a friendly face in class."
Jeno seemed to have gained control of himself. He pulled his hands away from his face and leaned forward in his chair. "So how is your first day here Jaemin? Do you like your new classes?"
"They're okay I guess. In my physics class there's this boy next to me who kept flirting with any boy who came within two feet of him. His name was weird too, like, who names their kid Ten?"
Jeno lightly giggled at that, "No Ten is just a nickname because his real one is too hard to remember, but you're right about the flirting thing. I mean the guys an obvious catch I just hope his future boyfriend can keep him in check."
Jaemin snickered and the two boys continued to talk in hushed voices for the rest of the class, completely ignoring whatever the teacher was saying.
-------
After what felt like forever the bell rang for lunch time.
"Jeno, why don't we walk together? I was supposed to sit with Mark anyway and you guys are friends."
"Sure."
The two boys filed out of the classroom and into the crowded hallways. Jeno immediately felt overwhelmed by how many people there were. He usually waited for the hallways to clear before he walked out but Jaemin was with him today and he couldn't have Jaemin knowing how pathetic he is.
Jeno tried to keep up with the boy but he gradually fell out of sight. Jeno could feel people closing in on him from all sides. His anxiety was slowly rising. Just when he was about to book it to the nearest bathroom, he felt a large hand wrap around his and squeeze lightly.
Jeno looked up and saw Jaemin's reassuring smile. His grip on Jeno's small hand tightened as he pulled the boy along. Jeno suddenly forgot how nervous he was before and just let Jaemin take him to the cafeteria. Jaemin did not release Jeno's hand even after the crowd around them dispersed when they entered the cafeteria. Jaemin only released Jeno's hand once they had gotten to their friend's table. Speaking of which their friends were practically spitting their tea on themselves at the sight of their friends holding hands.
"I'm just gonna go buy some lunch I'll be back soon yeah?" Jaemin asked and walked away to buy his food. Jeno sat down with a red face. His friends were now staring at him with amused faces.
"Hyung you're new boyfriend is really cute!"
"Did you guys profess to each other yet?"
"Gah, my single salad is wilting!"
Jeno hid his embarrassed face by leaning over his lunch and shoving food into his mouth. His friends found this amusing and couldn't stop teasing him.
While Jeno was hiding his face from his hyungs he glanced over at Jaemin who was buying his food.
God the boy was cute.
