Jeno stares off sitting on his bed with a blanket draped over him as Mark was brushing his hair gently. It was one of the things that made him calm down, and he liked it when his friends do that making him feel like their little brother.

Renjun was sitting on his window seat with Donghyuck on his bean bag near it. It was pure silence in the room, except you could only hear the hiccups and sniffles from Jeno every now and then.

The words and everything that happened in the locker room after the basketball match kept replaying in his head like that time he watched a horror movie and he couldn't sleep with the image of the monster not leaving his mind, until Jaem– nevermind.

It's like everything he remembers and looks around, Jaemin was there with him even for atleast a second.

Even when it was just about their little secret, he was there. From the movies to the cooking and then ended with the secret kiss before the basketball match. He was there.

Jeno felt betrayed and ashamed, mostly on himself. He let himself get used by Jaemin, he let himself do what Jaemin wanted to do even when he didn't. He let Jaemin ruin him in a split second.

He felt like an idiot and one of those cliché love stories where he was too blinded by love that he didn't see the harsh reality. He felt like one of those girls who got used by Jaemin, now he knows what it feels.

He may be smart, but somehow Jaemin cheated his way through to him and ripped his heart out. He didn't like it, the feeling of being supposed class president not being smart enough to see the simplest and obvious things.

He felt like he had let someone down, specifically his friends and family. Like he had just failed a test, that was "To not let someone use him easily."

He sighed and wiped his nose with the back of his hand ignoring how Renjun tried to hide his face of disgust by the action. "He's a fool," Donghyuck said after a long time of silence as the words echoed in the room and in Jeno's head.

"No," he mumbled quietly and shook his head, "I am." He stated and wiped his cheeks with Mark helping him using a tissue.

Renjun refused at his words and bit his lip, "no you're not Jen, we know you're not." He said gently and tried to push his anger down to his stomach and lets it sit there for awhile.

The brunet looked at his friend with his eyes puffy and his nose red, "I am," he emphasized, "I let him do it anyway, fell for the trap y'know?" He shrugs.

Donghyuck clicked his tongue, "you're not a fool, you just fell for him, it's a normal thing for everyone to fall for someone," he glances at Mark and Renjun who blushed and coughed.

Mark nodded, "It's a Jaemin thing, but," he paused, "I think he fell for you too." He smiled sadly to which Jeno raised a brow before shaking his head.

He sighed and brushed the brunet's bangs away from his forehead, "he did," he said, "he fell for you but didn't admit it, didn't admit to himself and was in denial." He adds.

Donghyuck nodded with agreement, "yeah, I tried to knock some senses and a few hints on Jaemin's non existing brain but that boy is too dumb, and I thought I was." He scoffed.

"You're not dumb hyuckie," Renjun pecks his cheek, "that's Mark you're talking about." He smirked.

Mark gasps and looked offended, "That was one time!" He exclaimed with his hand placed on his chest, "mind you, you were the one telling me we didn't have a test and I believed it. You made me fail my best subject!" He accused.

Renjun shrugged and stuck his tongue out making Jeno chuckle a bit. The former smiled softly cheering in the inside as he successfully made his poor friend lift up his spirit.

They decided to watch a funny movie and laughed at the funny scenes while making fun of the characters. The moment was ruined when Jeno's phone rang, he looked at the contact and stared at the name for awhile. DorkyNana♡ is now calling.

The phone kept ringing until it shuts off popping up a notification, 1 missed call from DorkyNana♡ on his screen before it turns black.

The phone rang again until this time, Renjun took his phone and saw the contact. He sighed and looked at his friend who had a face where he was contemplating something.

Jaemin's calling, usually he'd be happy to answer the call even if it was about something useless.

Again, Jaemin's calling. The Jaemin he heard those words come out of his mouth in the locker room, talking about him.

So he didn't know which to pick. But Renjun ended the call and blocks Jaemin's number before patting Jeno's thigh, "lets go back to the movie," he said and turned back to the screen.

Jeno pursed his lips and nodded before settling himself back between Renjun and Donghyuck as he laid his head on the former's shoulder and his elephant plushie snuggled in his arms.

Another ring was heard and Renjun furrowed his eyebrows, didn't he block Jaemin? Or is it someone else?

This time, it was actually Donghyuck's phone that was ringing. The latter took the device out and rolled his eyes, "keep watching, be back in a moment," he said and stood up rushing out of the room.

He went to the top of the staircase just in case the others and especially Jeno could hear him. He answers the call and pinched the bridge of his nose, "what now Jaemin?" He groans.

The said boy in the other line sighed, "can I talk to Jeno? Please?" He asked desperately as Donghyuck huffed.

"Are you out of your mind? Why the fuck would I do that?" He hissed back and checked behind him to see if someone was listening.

Jaemin pursed his lips, "please hyuck, I just want to apologize and I really need to talk to him," he pleaded.

The tanned male scoffed, "I want you to fix this and I really want you to admit to yourself and him, but I can't," he said. "Pretty sure Renjun would kill you when you're a near distance from Jeno," he stated.

"I– I just want to talk to him, I want to fix this too," he said as Donghyuck sort of doubted his best friend. As if he knew his friend was doubting him, he took a deep breath, "I admit, I'm an asshole, I admit I'm not straight, may be bisexual, and I admit I li– no love Jeno, a lot."

Donghyuck bit the inside of his cheek, "I'm really proud of you Jaem," he paused. "But we both know I'm not the one you should be saying that to," he smiled sadly.

Jaemin sighed heavily, "I know," he mumbled.

Donghyuck bit his lip, "I'll try to help you but with just distracting Renjun and Mark away from you, mostly Renjun, so you can have a chance to talk to Jeno," he said hesitantly.

Jaemin easily agreed, "Yes! Please hyuck, I'd really appreciate that. Thank you so much," he exclaimed and Donghyuck could see the smile itching on his friend's face from the other line, "anything, just for me to have Jeno back."

Donghyuck chuckled and smiled at his friend, "I'm really proud Jaem, I wish you the best of luck," he comments.

Jaemin thanked him and there was a pause before he spoke up again, "how's he doing?" He asked as Donghyuck raised a brow, "Jeno, how's he doing? Is he okay? Did he eat? Did he sleep?" He asked again.

The tanned male sighed softly and a small smile was plastered on his face, "He's and okay for now," he said and heard the pink haired sighed in relief, "you still care, that's something," he teased and chuckled.

Jaemin chuckled along, "I do," he said, "I always do." He mumbles, "I just wish I could've taken better care of him," he smiled sadly.
