☺︎︎ Chapter Forty-One
Jaemin was walking Jeno to school today, the latter had their hands intertwined this time and it was in that moment that Jaemin realized it's kinda their first time holding hands too.
As if Jeno had read his mind, he spoke up with a shy smile. "Hyung, isn't this our first time holding hands too?" He emphasizes by swinging their hands a little as he skips on his steps.
Humming, Jaemin mindlessly squeezes Jeno's hand in his as a response, his steps were a bit slower than the human boy's yet they didn't struggle.
Just then, the younger boy suddenly added. "And this is my first time being in a relationship."
"How many firsts are we going to have?" Jaemin thought to himself with furrowed eyebrows.
"Me too." He chose to reply briefly, same tone as he usually uses like before.
You would think Jaemin would obviously let loose and act different, especially towards his now boyfriend. But he gladly chose not to.
What? He did say he wasn't a romantic type of guy.
Besides, Jeno hasn't complained about it yet so far so good. Not like he actually ever would because he may or may not like this side of Na Jaemin.
"You watch too many movies, Jeno." He had thought to himself a few times before, which is quite true.
Turning to him, Jeno widens his eyes slightly. "Really?" He perks up which earned a flat look from Jaemin in return.
"I'm not good with these things, remember?"
"Oh right." He ends up giggling whilst his boyfriend only rolled his eyes at him but still pulls him closer to his side.
He blushes and doesn't say anything else, only enjoying the peaceful and comforting presence of his boyfriend by his side as they approached the school gates.
"Jeno Lee!" Haechan calls out suddenly as he marches up to them, Mark right behind him with an annoyed look towards his boyfriend but still manages to wave at Jeno as a greeting.
Tilting his head to the side, Jeno stands still with Jaemin at the entrance of the school grounds. Scanning the area to see a few students glancing at them as they whispered to each other.
Well, more like at Jaemin. Quite obviously since said boy is a vampire with good hearing.
"Oh my fucking God, Jeno. Why didn't you call me or something– and you! What the fuc–" Haechan suddenly turns to Jaemin and points an accusing finger at him.
"Haechan shut up and calm down," Mark smacks him behind his head to which he yelps at.
"Don't mind him, he still has a small hangover." He then gave a sarcastic smile towards the other two.
Groaning, the angry tanned male turns to his boyfriend this time and glares. "Calm down? Bitch, the fuck are you–"
Lucas quickly walks up to them and had decided to join the scene before he covers Haechan's mouth for them, smiling at Mark innocently– to which the raven haired boy snorts at. "I gotchu."
Still baffled, Jeno purses his lips. "What's going on?" He asks, glancing at the students nearby who were staring at them.
Mark decided to explain it to them instead of his boyfriend who was seemingly still angry. "We heard about what happened at the party..." He pauses and waits for their reaction.
"Oh. Yeah, that did happened while you two were drunk and having fun somewhere else, yes." Jeno blinks and shrugs at them.
His nonchalant yet bold response made Mark whine a little. "Jen~ we're really sorry we weren't the best protective friends last night, but were you hurt or something?" He asks.
However, despite his genuine words, Jeno knits his eyebrows and scoffs. "I'm sorry, but how come you guys are asking me if I was hurt when clearly, Jaemin hyung was the one who was involved in the fight? You should be asking him."
Blinking and sensing that his friend was upset, Mark ignores his boyfriend's muffled rants behind Lucas' hand and spoke to Jaemin on behalf of his boyfriend as well.
"Uh, are you okay though, Jaemin?" He asks and cringes at the way he sounded.
Shrugging, Jaemin hums at him nonetheless. "Guy didn't fight back, I'm good." He replies as he sends off a stiff nod.
"Are your knuckles alright though, dude? You punched that guy so many times quite hardly." Lucas spoke up this time and adds a small chuckle.
Gasping in realization and didn't saw Jaemin nodding off at his friend's question, he turns to his boyfriend and cups his face.
"Oh my goodness, hyung! I forgot to check you last night for any injuries too!" He suddenly panics.
Furrowing his eyebrows, Jaemin huffs out a small chuckle. "But I don't have any, my knuckles are fine anyway."
Forgetting that their friends are watching, Jeno pouts and mumbles. "Still," he became persistent again. "I'm being a bad boyfriend."
The others then shriek as Haechan pulls Lucas' hand off his mouth. "Your what?!" He exclaims.
"Since when?!" Mark follows up with wide eyes, jaw dropped as he fixes his gaze at them.
Rolling his eyes, Jaemin grips onto Jeno's hands on his face and squeezes them a little. "It's fine, Jeno. You're not a bad boyfriend by not doing that constantly, alright? Calm down." He reassures briefly.
He then adds with a small itching smile, "you're my soulmate too after all. I know you." He stared deeply into Jeno's eyes as he said that.
"Uhm hello?!" Haechan gestures with his hands while he exclaims at them, getting annoyed for being ignored especially with so many questions in his mind right now. "Are you guys deaf?"
Huffing, Jeno opens his mouth to speak up. "Yet you were dense about it before." He replies to his boyfriend.
The elder boy hums, "I was." He agrees nonchalantly as the school bell rang.
"Get to class now, and stop frowning because of me." He scolds lightly and leans in to kiss Jeno's forehead.
The action caused Lucas to drawl out a noise of celebration mixed with teasing and Mark shrieking again while Haechan was getting annoyed.
"Oh wow, bitches suddenly heard shit, what the hell." He mutters and crosses his arms.
Sighing, Jeno gave up and kisses Jaemin's cheek with a smile. "See you later, hyung!" He said and pulls away from Jaemin's hold.
He then took his friends' hands each, dragging them towards the building with light happy skips on his steps, Mark staring at Jaemin in shock despite the pain on his neck thanks to the uncomfortable position as Haechan grumbles along.
Meanwhile, Lucas stayed behind a bit– not like he cares if he's late, he has History for his first class and as far as he knows, his teacher is usually the one late. Much later than the students.
So he gave Jaemin a look and asks, "wow, so you finally admitted to it?"
Rolling his eyes, Jaemin gave him a nod. "Yeah, what about it?" He slightly snaps.
Snorting, Lucas shrugs and adjusts his backpack strap on his shoulder. "Nothing bro, calm down." He said.
"By the way, does he know?" He then asks next as he gestures to himself.
Raising a brow, Jaemin inserts his hands in his pockets. "Not yet." He replies, scanning the area to make sure no one was listening to their conversation.
With a hum, Lucas smiles at him. "Bring him later," he suggested to which Jaemin easily agreed on without further arguments like he usually would in the past.
Patting him on the shoulder, Lucas chose to save his teasing words for later as he gave a small salute towards the vampire boy.
"I'll see you then, Jaem."
"I'll be at the back of the school building, like for old time's sake." Jaemin grins and salutes back when the taller boy chuckles as he waves one last time before heading off.
"My dear soulmate, our first day as boyfriends!"
"Pup, this is really something."
