"so–" Jaemin drawls clearing his throat as Jeno raised a brow at him while sipping his strawberry smoothie. "Did you enjoy the food?" He asked.

"Well I'm not poisoned yet, so I guess," the red haired chuckled saying it as a joke. "But in all seriousness, yes I did, thanks for bringing me here," he mumbled.

The blond bit back a smile, "no problem," he said stirring his straw on his mango smoothie. "I wanted you to enjoy it anyway," he shrugged before taking a sip as well.

Jeno then hums, "so are we just going to end out meeting like this?" He asked making Jaemin look up with confusion on his face.

"What do you mean?" The elder said trying not to sound too hopeful. What was Jeno implying?

The red haired sighed, "so are we just going to end it like this with me sharing my story after I left while yours remains a secret?" He said tilting his head.

Jaemin chuckled and leaned back crossing his arms on his chest, "curious now are we?" He teased with a slight smirk on his face.

Jeno rolled his eyes, "I'm only asking because it's the polite way to do so. And you brought me here to have a chat, not just me sharing everything in my life while you didn't do the same," he retorts.

The elder hums before pursing his lips, "what do you want to know hm?" He said adjusting his cap on his head to keep half of his face hidden.

"I literally told you everything that happened, so it's fair enough that you'd do the same," the younger said with a huff.

The blond nodded understandingly, "well after you left, Renjun had only hung out with the rest of the boys while keeping distance from me. He was mostly alone, just like you."

Jeno looked a bit offended at the last part as Jaemin widens his eyes in realization, "not in a bad way of course!" He defends only earning a stiff nod.

"Then in college, Renjun and I were in the same course, so obviously we'd be buddies for those few years." The blond continued and took a french fry from his plate.

"Ah, I'm surprised you chose acting as your ambition," Jeno said taking a bite of his cupcake with his bitch face on.

"What do you mean by that?" Jaemin can't help but ask, though after seeing how the younger's face and attitude changed back to how they had their first conversation in awhile, he guesses he'll be hearing shit.

"Well you were a football player, a quarterback. I was expecting you to go through that path and be a football star like in TVs since that's what usually happens," the red haired started.

He then wipes his mouth with a tissue to get the frosting off before adding, "but I guess you chose being an actor after fooling everyone with your "acting skills" back then," he remarks.

Jaemin grunts, "this is why I wanted to have a chat with you and fix us, let go of the past," he sighed as Jeno only grins slightly at him.

"Trust and love are earned, not deserved." The red haired hums taking another bite of his cupcake with the frosting getting on his nose.

The blond reaches his hand towards the younger making the latter pause with his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. He wipes off the frosting with his thumb and licks it.

Seeing how Jeno widened his eyes in horror at his actions, he immediately panics, "u-uh sorry, uhm that was out of instinct," he coughed awkwardly.

The red haired nodded before gesturing for him to continue. "Ah– right, anyways college was– okay I guess. Sort of like highschool but a bit chill, for me atleast."

The younger snorted at him, "why? Earned yourself a braincell after I left?" He said bitterly.

Jaemin clicked his tongue irritatedly. He sighs, "whatever," he mumbled getting annoyed at how Jeno is acting right now. Did the cupcake poison his attitude?

"What about Hana? And Jieun? What happened to that part?" The red haired asked after a long pause of just the elder sipping his mango smoothie.

The blond pursed his lips, "Hana and I dated for a while," he paused and his breath hitched on his throat.

Noticing how the elder paused, Jeno got worried and spoke up, "Hey, no pressure yeah? I didn't mean to force yourself on telling me. Just tell me what you're comfortable of talking about."

Jaemin nodded and heaved a sigh, "sorry, it's just annoying to talk about rather than sad," he muttered. "Hana and I dated for a while, until– until I got her pregnant." He adds.

The red haired hums remaining himself calm, he's not the type to usually overreact things. He prefers to listen more on to the story before saying anything.

"Her parents found out and wanted to abort it, but that was when Hana was already in the hospital giving birth to Jieun. We didn't have any other choice." The blond stated.

"What else happened? Where's Hana now?" Jeno asked placing down his half eaten cupcake.

Jaemin bit his lip, "we broke up after she started hoeing around with other college dudes, she wasn't responsible enough to take care of Jieun. So I took her with me while Hana left to who knows where," he explains.

"But that's her daughter? And she said she loved you," the red haired emphasized and can't help but say it with a bite. He really wanted to chuckle at how things have turned out.

The blond sighed, "apparently she didn't want her, she didn't plan to have kids with me. She just kept dating me for her needs, but for mine? She doesn't care, she doesn't love us." He said.

"She never did," Jeno blurts out while Jaemin just looks at him chewing his lip. "You and I both know that," he mumbled hesitantly not wanting to upset the elder.

The blond shrugged, "guess I was too lovesick back in highschool," he said getting up with the red haired following on suit.

"And you still are."

"And I still am."

Silence took over once they headed outside as Jaemin's security guards and manager were now standing behind them.

"So, uhm. I don't have any schedules left today," he said putting on his mask looking at the red haired who was tilting his head.

"And?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to go to the park for a bit more?" Jaemin asked scratching his nape nervously. "To chat of course! And uh– no pressure, it's up to you really," he added.

The younger remained silent for a moment as they began walking towards Jaemin's car.

Jeno then hums, "I guess I could go for a bit," he shrugged nonchalantly as he glances at his phone and walks ahead with his hips swaying gracefully.

He turns around and points at his mouth to gesture something, "your mask is backwards," he said giggling with a wink before getting in the vehicle first.

"I'm totally lovesick"

"He's totally lovesick,"

"And maybe I am too."
