☺︎︎ Chapter Thirty-Eight
Tw: a pervert. Assault? Or harassment? Okay I'm still learning but it's probably either one of those two–
I'M SORRY! 😭
︎☺︎︎
Widening his eyes, Jeno pushes away from Jaemin's hold and stares at the elder boy. Not noticing the look Jaemin was giving him becoming more obvious than before.
Concern.
"Did you just call me 'pup'?" The glee laced in his voice couldn't be hidden away, he was too happy about what he could've possibly heard.
The elder boy knits his eyebrows together to make him look irritated than the previous concern look he had when Jeno tripped into his arms.
"You're hearing things." Is what Jaemin replied to him, pushing Jeno's hands away from his chest while at it. "The music is loud in here anyway, that's probably why." Backing up his words to excuse himself.
The sparkle in Jeno's eyes fades away, the smile he has almost instantly turns into a frown. He nods at the elder boy's words and looks around.
"I-I'll get you some tissues, to clean up the mess I made on your shirt..." He mumbles before walking away without taking a glance at the elder boy.
Jaemin was left there staring at him walking off, shoulders slouched as he lets out a sigh to himself.
"Wow, how many times do you have to be an asshole and hurt poor lil Jeno like that at a fun party, bro?" A voice spoke behind him which he groans at.
He felt a pat on his back almost mockingly, turning to face the newcomer with a glare.
"Shut up, Lucas." He hisses and walks over to a table to refill his fruit punch this time instead of Jeno doing it for him, because he wanted to.
The taller boy chuckles and follows him calmly, one hand in his pocket while the other was holding a can of Pepsi.
"Seriously Jaem, this is the second party you two have been in together. This is the second time he spilled a drink on you, and this is the second time you hurt him in any way." He continues to say.
He leans his side against the table, watching Jaemin refill his cup and glances up to look at the boy. "C'mon dude, we both know Jeno was upset about what you said."
"You're eavesdropping now? How fun for your lonely life, Lucas." Jaemin sneers and takes a sip of his fruit punch, then slightly resting his side against the table as well.
"It's not my fault I have good hearing too, Jaem." Lucas rolled his eyes and opens his can of Pepsi that he had gotten before walking over to his friend.
"But what's next, do you need a third time for this to happen again so you'd actually be a good soulmate to Jeno?" He said, clearly getting under Jaemin's nerves.
He then ignores the red eyes glaring at him, only responding at it with a huff. "We both know it." He said briefly as the glare aimed at him hardens.
"I'm back– what's going on here? Oh, hi Lucas hyung." Jeno stops on his tracks for a moment thinking he had just interrupted a conversation, but relaxes at the reassuring wave Lucas gave him.
"Oh nothing, just bros catching up with each other." The taller boy responds at him and chuckles. "Jaemin seems to be cranky," he nudges his chin towards the said boy.
Turning to look at the vampire boy, Jeno pouts. "Do you want to go home, hyung? We can go home now if you want, I basically dragged you here anyway." He said with worry in his tone.
Jaemin was about to agree on the offer, because thank Dracula he really does want to get the fuck out of this place.
But Lucas gave him a look, that look of disappointment mixed with a warning. Discreetly nudging his chin towards Jeno now too.
Groaning, Jaemin shook his head and sighs. "No, it's fine. I'll just head outside for some fresh air if I want to." He declines.
Before Jeno could ask him more questions again like he'd usually do, Jaemin gave him a look and pushes himself off the side of the table. "End of conversation, Jeno. Don't argue with me tonight."
Lucas lets out a forced cough, quickly following to cover it up by drinking his Pepsi. Rolling his eyes, Jaemin adds off with, "go have fun." Before walking over to the nearby wall this time.
Pouting, Jeno gave one last look at the vampire boy who was leaning against the wall before letting himself get pulled over to the dance floor by Lucas.
☺︎︎
Jaemin doesn't know why he feels like this, nor does he know why he should feel like this. But he can't help it.
He can't help but let himself get even more angry by just keep on looking at them.
He could literally simply look away. But he can't. He doesn't want to. It's like his whole sense of control is being ran by a different person, in his own body.
He's scowling, he knows that thanks to the people around him loudly whispering about him whilst others walked off in fear.
He's thankful that the party's theme is a costume party, which made it easier for him to show his glowing dark red eyes, making people– except Jeno and Lucas, believe that it's contacts.
He aggressively finishes his drink, eyes glaring holes at the boy Jeno was dancing with on the dance floor.
The boy had his hands on Jeno's small waist, pulling him closer with a wide creepy grin on his face.
Jaemin knows Jeno isn't drunk, but simply gullible.
So he's sure the random boy was playing off as a nice and polite guy to Jeno before they went off on the dance floor to have fun.
Jeno was indeed oblivious about the pervert he was dancing with and the scowling Jaemin at the side of the room. Despite the amount of people around, Jaemin was still able to see them clearly.
He balled his hands up into fists, fangs showing off but he quickly shuts his mouth to hide them. The fire lit inside of him is growing bigger and bigger, he knows that.
But he doesn't do anything to stop it. He doesn't simply look or walk away, go outside like he said he would.
He's also sure Mark is taking care of one of his teammates around the house too, possibly drunk as hell despite being the responsible one in their group of friends.
Haechan's probably entertaining himself with something else, most likely to be games.
Both of Jeno's friends are unaware about what's going on.
So he watches as the boy Jeno was dancing with lowers one of his hands without hesitation, even when it was obvious to everyone how Jeno squirmed and tried to move his hand away now.
But what made Jaemin snap and the ticking bomb inside of him explode was when he saw what happened next.
The random boy pulls Jeno into a forced kiss on the lips.
"My dear soulmate, ... I'm scared."
"Pup, I'm saving you this time."
