Jaemin's rich laugh fills the dance studio lobby as Hendery spun him around.

"Ah-Ha! Hen-Hendery! P-put me down!" He could barely contain himself, and his friend spinning him around with Jisung laughing his ass off was not helping.

"Then teach me the dance!"

"N-no!" Jaemin's face was covered in a wide smile, and he had not a care in the world. "Learn i-it yourself!" Hendery fakes an annoyed groan but sets the younger boy down anyways.

"You're no fun Jaeminnie."

Jaemin, who was dusting himself off, glares. "Shush, now go ask the coach for the choreography." Hendery throws his head back in an exasperated sigh but leaves the lobby and heads back to the practice room, Jisung right behind him. Jaemin smiles and turns towards the exit doors, his eyes widening in surprise to see Jeno standing there. He quickly grabs his gym bag and leaves the studio towards his ex.

"I didn't think you'd really come."

Jeno nods slowly, his face was flat and expressionless. "Well, I can leave. Since you seem to be having fun with...whoever that was." He begins to turn, muttering a quiet goodbye.

"Really?" Jaemin's dry chuckle makes Jeno stop and turn back around. "Are you jealous?"

Jeno shakes his head in denial. "Doesn't matter. I have no room to be jealous, you can see who you wish."

Jaemin raises a brow and walks towards Jeno quickly, soon standing in front of him. "You came to pick me up, correct?" Jeno nods. "Which means you'd need to walk me home. Am I wrong?"

"No."

"Exactly." Jaemin's voice was soft but still flat. "So, as we have both agreed on. You are walking me home. Not Hendery. Not Jisung. No one else." He gently pushes Jeno to begin walking and they head down the street. "So, for now, let's just enjoy the nice weather and we can talk when we get back to my apartment." Jeno just looks at his feet in shame and nods.

"I'm sorr-"

"At the apartment Jeno."

"Right."

Jeno waits for Jaemin to unlock the door before following him into the living room. Jaemin plops himself on the couch and gestures for Jeno to sit next to him.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why were you jealous?"

Jeno gulps. Jaemin wasn't even looking at him, which only made him feel worse. "I'm sorr-"

Jaemin sighs. "I'm not mad Jeno. I'm genuinely curious."

A soft "oh" escapes Jeno's mouth and it takes him a moment to talk again. "Well...because of how close he was holding you. And how he made you smile so brightly. And I don't know..." Jeno shrugs and looks away from Jaemin bashfully. "I missed being the person who could make you smile like that. I miss being that person."

Jaemin nods slowly, a small smile creeping onto his face but of course, he couldn't let Jeno see. "Ah..." He couldn't keep his composure for long and soon enough he was chuckling. "You're so silly."

"H-huh?" Jeno looks at his ex in bewilderment. "Silly?"

"He has a boyfriend. Xiaojun."

This time, Jeno was definitely surprised. "Huh?!"

Jaemin raises a brow, the smile still on his face. "Yeah. Xiao Dejun. Xiaojun for short."

Jeno holds his head in his hands. "Holy fuck...that's my roommate's cousin. I...Oh my god." Jaemin laughs even louder.

"You were jealous over nothing Jen." They both paused at the nickname, Jeno smiling and Jaemin stiff. "I- I mean Jeno. Jeno, not...Jen."

Jeno smirks. "I like Jen, though. It reminds me of that one night...Where you couldn't stop screaming da-"

"You're treading on thin ice Lee Jeno." Jaemin's glare was harsh, but there wasn't even an ounce of anger in it. Jeno just laughs and shrugs.

"I'm just saying. Jen is a nice nickname." He relaxes into the couch.

After a few moments of silence, Jaemin speaks up. "But for the record, I wouldn't go with Hendery. He's not my type."

"Oh?"

"Yeah." Jaemin takes a deep breath. " 'Cause he's not you."

...

"HOLY SHIT JENO DON'T FUCKING CHOKE!"

"Should I get him another cat?" Jeno turns to Renjun, who was busy on his phone. "Junnie?"

"mmm?"

Jeno sighs and snatches his friend's phone. "Who are you text- YangYang!?" Jeno smirks widely. "You like my roommate?"

"I-it's not like that! Give me my phone back!" Renjun groans when Jeno holds it up above his head. "Jeno~ Give it back! That's an invasion of privacy."

Jeno shakes his head. "Not until you tell me if you like him."

"Fine! Ok fine! I like him. So what." Renjun's voice rises in pitch as his face flushes more and more. Jeno does a small fist in victory before handing Renjun his phone again.

"He's gonna be so happy to hear that."

"DON'T TELL HIM YOU ASS!" But Jeno was already out the door. "JENO NO!"
