"then what happened?" Xiaojun asked holding the other boy steadily on his lap letting him kiss his neck.

Jeno pulls away and sighs, "then we parted ways and see each other everyday like the norm," he said shrugging.

"Just like that?" The elder raised a brow while the red haired was unbuttoning his shirt.

With a nod, Xiaojun lightly smacked Jeno's buttcheek earning a yelp, "what?" The red haired pouted but still biting his lip from grinning at the elder.

Xiaojun rolled his eyes, "why didn't you guys, I don't know? Kiss? Date? Fuck even?" He stated with a look.

The younger huffed at him, "we didn't kiss because we're not sure where we stand," he answered firstly.

"We didn't date or whatever because, again, we don't know where we stand," he added lifting the elder's shirt off for him.

"And lastly, we didn't fuck because one, he's not one of my horny clients or something along the line like us two, and second, there's a fucking kid in the car," he retorts.

Xiaojun snorts at him and shook his head, "I'm pretty sure you both know where you guys want to stand as, Jaemin just needs to man up or something," he stated.

Jeno rolled his eyes, "shut up," he murmured with his cheeks turning pink from Xiaojun's words. "And wait– shit sorry I got carried away, I have a client tonight put this back on," he laughed.

The elder laughed as well grabbing his shirt from the side of the couch and putting it back on, pecking Jeno's lips, "but if he did, would you?" He then asked.

"Would I what?"

"Would you accept being his boyfriend if he asked you to?" He elaborates.

The red haired pursed his lips, "I–" he paused with a sigh, "I don't know."

"You do."

"Maybe."

"But you're afraid."

"I am."

"You still like him."

"I do."

"But you don't want to waste what you guys have again,"

"Mhm."

"Especially if it's fake."

"Especially if it's fake," Jeno repeats the elder swallowing down the lump in his throat with his breath shaking. "Because he doesn't like me."

He earned another smack from the elder, "don't say that, he does like you," Xiaojun tsked.

"I just– it's complicated, you know? Once you fell in love with the same person, you want to get over them and hate them. But you can't because you know you really love them," Jeno sighed.

"You really love him."

"Don't get my hopes up and mention it," the younger clicked his tongue flicking the elder's forehead. "I don't mind what we have right now, but–"

"You want things to be more clearer and confirmed before you make a fool of yourself to think what you thought it was but then get hurt when you realize it's not." Xiaojun said.

Nodding, Jeno leans their foreheads together and shuts his eyes for a moment. "I'm such a coward." He mumbled with his closed eyes teary up.

The elder hugs him close and pecked his nose, "you're not. You're the bravest person I know, Donghyuck and Yangyang can agree with me."

"My life says otherwise."

"Jeno," Xiaojun heaved a sigh and pulls back to look at the younger as he wipes the tears away.

"You're so brave, sharing these things and trusting other people in your life like us?" He starts as the younger listened.

"Letting Jaemin back in to your life even after what he did. Keep moving forward with a smile on your pretty face? That's so brave of you to do, not many people can do that."

He then smiles reassuringly to the red haired, "let Jaemin know how you feel, maybe that's all you guys need for him to ask you. Maybe he's just waiting because he doesn't want to pressure you."

"How do you know that?"

"I can see it," Xiaojun replied. "I may not know Jaemin that well but I observed him enough to know his intentions."

"Huh?"

"Don't think I didn't saw how he got annoyed and jealous whenever you're with me or my name is brought up from your mouth," the elder sneered.

"Wait– He was jealous?" Jeno widened his eyes like a puppy genuinely oblivious.

"Yes dummy, that guy got pissed when he saw us making out." Xiaojun laughed remembering Jaemin's face.

"Not only that but, from the past few months or so, Jaemin takes every opportunity to hang out with you or see you," he stated.

Jeno furrowed his eyebrows, "what are you talking about?"

"Oh come on Jen, don't tell me you didn't realize how he goes to Jieun's school early to see you even though he'll be late for set or rushing out before Donghyuck could interrogate him." Xiaojun said.

"He just wants to pick Jieun up early or not get her late." The red haired said doubting, he really doesn't want to get his hopes up again.

"And stay too long for a conversation with you?"

"He's talkative."

"Yeah, a very nervous wimp ass bitch talkative who stutters a lot whenever you breath." Xiaojun snorts

"Don't exaggerate it."

"But he does, it's so clear he likes you back Jen. I'm just saying that you should maybe do the first move this time and let him ask you out." The elder shrugged.

The red haired sighed, "then what if he doesn't and just– makes fun of me for it?"

"Then I can unleash Donghyuck for you," Xiaojun said making the younger chuckle at him.

"But I'm being serious, I can tell everything that's between you guys. I saw it all and I know it, Jaemin is probably giving you time and space because he doesn't want to mess up or something." He hummed.

With a pause of silence, Jeno nodded slightly and sighed for the millionth time whenever this topic is brought up.

"Fine," he surrendered. "I'll tell that nervous wimp ass bitch to man up and ask me to be his boyfriend or I'm not letting him dick me down anytime like the slut I am." He said determined.

"Woah bitch– you really be wilding today." Xiaojun laughed caressing his sides admiring the curves on Jeno's beautiful body.

Jeno grins, "I do be a hoe sometimes," he giggled. "But I'm a loyal one when you treat me right," he adds.

"Jaemin should've heard this," Xiaojun sighed dramatically earning a laugh.

The door opens as a shriek echoed in the room, "not my couch!"

"Donghyuck, babe, I love you but that's my best friend's couch since this is his apartment." Renjun remarks closing the door.

Donghyuck huffed and crossed his arms, "what the hell are you two talking about anyways? I heard my brother's cute giggle and Xiaojun's ugly ass version."

The younger sibling of the Lee brothers laughed and stood up from Xiaojun's lap as Renjun went to the kitchen.

Jeno ignores his brother and walked towards his room pulling his booty shorts back up as Xiaojun whistled along at him with the red haired winking back.

"Nice ass, bitch."

"Thanks, dickhead."

"Is anyone listening to me?!" Donghyuck scoffed plopping down on the couch sulking.

"Sorry what were you saying? Jeno's beautiful ass was getting my attention," Xiaojun sneered earning a pillow being thrown at him.

"Shut the hell up, I asked what were two talking about? But it's probably something boring and useless and–"

"Oh we were talking about how Jeno will seduce Jaemin so they will finally date because that bitchass is a wimp and so they can fuck around."

"What the fuck?!"
