"So what did he say?" Yangyang chuckles at the sour face Jeno immediately gives him when he gets asked.

Looking up from Donghyuck's homework that he's been trying to help answering, Jeno puffs out his cheeks when he lip trills.

They're at Donghyuck's place right now, supposedly to hangout but they dragged poor Jeno along at the end.

Jeno only gave in because he felt bad for his friend having trouble with his given homework, not everyone is over the top smart after all.

So he went with them after they promised he doesn't have to join in on them playing, hence why he's working on the homework.

Meanwhile, the other three were playing some video games and such, Mark went down to the kitchen as Donghyuck was quickly called down as well by his mother.

Leaving Yangyang asking Jeno about Jaemin and taking this opportunity to tease him in his ridiculous situation.

After letting the raven haired boy finish sharing his story, Yangyang bites back a grin but fails to do so.

How can he not? He low-key finds it amusing to see Lee Jeno getting worked up by someone trying to woo him.

Oh, not just someone.

But a tattoo artist named Na Jaemin with dark pink hair, muscles, Jeno doesn't hesitate to assume he has tattoos of his own hidden under those long sleeves and all that shenanigans.

Quite frankly, Jeno doesn't hate him. But he's not exactly comfortable with him either.

At least, so far due to both Jaemin's first impression and Jeno's high judgement.

His dislike towards the elder boy only increased when Jaemin kept acting like a complete bastard, harassing him and such that drives Jeno nuts.

However, he's going to try and tolerate with Jaemin's stupid antics just so he can get through his project.

Is it a little mean? Yes, he thought of that. Telling himself that he's using Jaemin for project purposes and nothing else, genuinely developing a feeling of guilt in his gut.

Call it ridiculous but that's how Jeno feels, however he's trying to cover it up and pretend it doesn't bother him.

But we all know, at one point, he'll do something to Jaemin, kicking him for example, and it'll somewhat snap him out of his act.

"At least you're getting the help you need," Yangyang shrugs his shoulders in nonchalance whilst focusing on the game, playing as a single player for now with the temporary absence of his two friends.

"Still, it's–"

"Annoying?"

"Yes! It's so stupid," Jeno tries to defend himself pathetically.

Yangyang chuckles, "it's not. It's only fair for both of you, and you know it." He emphasizes as he pays a glance at him.

Hearing his character getting hit, he immediately goes back to focus on his game, fingers starting to turn aggressive as he clicks on the buttons.

Once that intense moment was over, he senses Jeno's sulking from where he's at, making him snort in amusement.

"Don't sulk now, you can bond with him while at it. And gain a new friend, who's like one of us three, so it's not that difficult to get used to him." He jokes about.

Jeno rolls his eyes, "he's different." He mutters.

"Sounds like you're saying it in a different way." Yangyang teases, a mischievous smirk on his face that has Jeno groaning.

"Not like that, just... He irritates me."

"More than the others and I do?"

"Mhm."

"Oh damn," Yangyang giggles. Just as Jeno thought he would say something he'd agree on, his hopes were up too high today as his friend continues.

"Tell me you haven't been in a relationship before without telling me you haven't."

Glaring at him, Jeno kept quiet, a sign of defeat as he surrenders to Yangyang's words.

It's true, he hasn't been in a romantic relationship or any type of fling with someone before, so maybe that's why.

After all, Yangyang and Jaemin himself are trying to make it clear the latter has feelings for him.

Or Jeno could be wrong and Jaemin is one of those jerks flirting with him just for fun.

Nonetheless, Yangyang didn't lie. However, Jeno won't let it take a toll on him. He might not know how to act to someone wooing him, but he likes to refer it as self-defense against jerks like Jaemin.

In his opinion, the elder boy is only a jerk because he bothers him.

There's that term on the tip of his tongue, but he can't quite get it as Mark and Donghyuck comes back in the room, disturbing his focus.

Brushing this topic off, he goes back to the given homework so Donghyuck would stop whining at them for help all because of his punishment.

"What did we miss?"

"Nothing." Jeno was quick to respond to Mark's question, laying down on the beanbag as he watches the other two play.

"Me being the best player, that's what." Mark instantly rolls his eyes at the cockiness of Yangyang.

"Jeno! Sweetheart, there's someone at the door looking for you!" The raven haired boy who's caved in his cozy bedroom blinks and furrows his eyebrows.

Confusion written all over his face as he ponders in thought, trying to think of someone he knew who would come over without informing him beforehand, besides his three friends of course.

But no one comes to his mind, especially the fact that his mom didn't mention the person's name, making it obvious she doesn't know them.

It's a Sunday afternoon, so Jeno is certain it's none of his friends. They're all busy with their own stuff (with Yangyang lazing around at home, piled up with tons of late assignments).

Getting up from the comfort of his bed, already missing the familiar warmth, he walks downstairs with light steps.

Glancing at his mom who gestures for him to entertain whoever is at the door before going back to the backyard, Jeno gulps.

But soon, his nervousness was exchanged with annoyance and shock when he sees who the person was.

"Jaemin?" Eyes wide at the grinning boy in front of him. Feeling a little awkward to see someone unexpected in his own house.

(A/N: Relatable?)

"Well, good afternoon to you, pretty boy. How's your day been?"
