☺︎︎ Chapter Twenty-One

"have you guys heard?" Mark runs up to the two other boys who were having a conversation at Haechan's locker.

Jeno raised a brow, "I mean I have ears but–"

"No! I mean–"

"No, Mark. We can't answer your question if you're not gonna be specific here, you weirdo." Haechan rolled his eyes.

"There's basically a full moon tonight."

The tanned male had a blank face on as he blinks once, "you fucking serious right now? What's so important about that?"

"Babe, it's a full moon! We barely get full moons these days, I'm just thinking we should go out and watch it." Mark shrugged his shoulders but his face was beet red.

"I'm all for stargazing but a full moon?" Haechan raised a brow, he finds it odd his boyfriend likes to watch the full moon like he's stargazing. Well, it is Mark Lee.

"He's trying to ask you out on a date," Jeno chuckled lightly and checked his phone. "I have to go, I'm really tired and I have some homework to finish up."

"Wow, you didn't finish them in the library? That's odd. Why the fuck are you both being weird? Well, I'm not surprised with Mark, but Jeno is he influencing you? I knew it." Haechan rambled.

The raven haired boy scoffs, "I raised Jeno pretty well!" He then looks at Jeno and points, "go do your homework."

"Yes papa," Jeno rolled his eyes before adjusting his backpack strap on his shoulder, "I'm leaving you two on your argument about stargazing versus full moon."

Mark widens his eyes and snatches him back by the elbow. "What? Don't leave me to suffer!"

"It's the marriage life," the younger shrugged at him before snatching his arm back and waving at them with a smile. "And you told me to do my homework, bye bye!"

"Jeno Lee, come back here!"

He chuckles to himself quietly when he left as he heard Haechan starting the argument again, basically just teasing Mark, while the elder was shy and panicking.

"Jaemin hyung!" Jeno skips over to the said boy who turned around to face him as he was about to head out the school gate.

"Where are you going, hyung? And why do you look tired?" He pouts once he gets near enough to the elder and saw him looking like he had spent hours of no sleep.

"Jeno, I can't walk you home today." Jaemin said as he inserts his hands in his pockets. He was trying to distance himself away from the brunet, Jeno noticed that and frowned.

"Why? Is everything okay, hyung?" Jeno asked again, worried as he scans the elder's face for any sort of sign that could answer his question atleast just a bit.

"I just have somewhere to go," the mysterious boy replied and cleared his throat. "Can you go home by yourself? Or with your friends?"

Nodding slightly, Jeno replied, "I can go home by myself. Haechan and Mark are back there settling things down." He shrugged before he gave out a smile.

"Well, be safe out there, hyung. And see you tomorrow!" He waves and passes Jaemin to head home before he abruptly stops with a small gasp.

"I almost forgot!" He yelps out making Jaemin raised an eyebrow at him, watching him turn back as he does the thing again. That thing.

"Mwah! Okay, bye bye, Jaeminnie hyung!" Jeno said in glee before finally heading off.

The mysterious boy only sighed to himself, bringing up his fingers on his cheek where Jeno placed his own two fingers after he had kissed them.

Yes, that thing he did before. Jaemin calls it 'That thing' because he doesn't know what to call it.

After finally finishing up his homework that was actually due next week's Wednesday, and today was Friday, Jeno was watching another netflix show with Bongsik cuddled up on his lap.

He had just finished washing his dishes too, the pizza he had ordered was cancelled at the last minute, making him just settle with cooking some soup for himself.

Haechan had called to check up on him, when really, he called to annoy Mark by pretending that he was bored with their date. He kinda was.

They were either at the park with some other people who had thought of watching the full moon too, Mark was proud of that, or they were at the other person's rooftop.

Honestly, Jeno doesn't remember because he was too busy doing his homework and playing with Bongsik.

The sound of a knock on the door was heard, Jeno pausing what he was watching and excusing himself from Bongsik after he places her on his seat when he stood up.

"I'll be right back, sweetie." He coos, kissing her head before answering the door.

"Jaemin hyung?" He widened his eyes once the said boy almost collapses on him, he panics and shuts the door as he struggled to hold the elder up.

"Lock it."

"What?"

"Fuck." Jaemin hissed. "Lock the fucking door Jeno." He snaps.

Obeying, Jeno locks the door and leads Jaemin into his small kitchen, grabbing a cup of water for the elder to drink up.

"I don't want it."

"Jaemin hyung, you're like– weak, drink up." Jeno said softly, watching the mysterious boy leaned against the counters as he runs his fingers through his messed up hair.

He had a mask on, and he was breathing heavily, he avoided eye contact with the younger as he muttered. "I'm fine."

"No you're not, Jaemin hyung, what's wrong?" The brunet approaches the elder who immediately steps back with a hand up at him. He stops.

"Back up, Jeno. Don't step any clo– shit. Don't go close to me."

"Jaemin hyung, I'm gonna get closer if you don't tell me what's wrong." No response was heard, and Jeno took that as his cue to take a few steps towards the elder.

Jaemin widened his eyes and lets out a small growl. "Jeno." He drawls, his tone stern as he shuts his eyes closed. He was warning the younger, who he clearly knew how stubborn the boy is.

"I'm warning you, get away."

Huffing, Jeno glared at him. "I'm not stepping back–"

"Goddammit Jeno! I'm a fucking vampire!" The elder snaps, his red eyes finally meeting Jeno's as he takes off his mask, revealing his sharp teeth. Yet he still looked a bit weakened.

"So get the hell away before I do something!"

Perplexed, Jeno stood there processing his words before he smiles. "That's so cool!"

"My dear soulmate, you're a vampire! That's amazing!"

"Pup, step. Back."
