It's monday again and Jaemin groans as he wakes up from his sleep. He yawns while he rubs both of his eyes to adjust his vision.

He grabs his phone from the bedside table and finally gets out of his bed then exits his room. He goes downstairs and walks to the living room to put his phone on the center table. He then goes to the dining room where he meets his mom putting liver spread on a sandwich.

"Good morning, Min-ah!"

He smiles slightly and greets back, "Morning, Mom."

"Here, sandwich for now." She hands him the sandwich and he immediately grabs it.

"Thank you." He then bites to it and hums, "Yum!"

"Wait here, I'm still going to cook for your lunch later." She told him and he just nods.

He sits properly and eats his sandwich quietly. He'd stare at nothing whenever he bites at the sandwich and chews on it.

After he consumes the sandwich, he drinks water from the glass his mom prepared for him. He then gets up and walks to the bathroom yelling, "I'm going to take a bath now!"

"All right!" Mrs. Na replies from the kitchen.

"Take care! Goodluck at school." She kisses him on the cheek and ruffles his hair.

He smiles and brushes his fingers through his hair to fix it. "See you later!"

"See you later, son."

He steps out of their house and starts walking until he reaches the gate. He continues to walk to the bus stop.

When he reaches there, he sees two familiar figures. The taller one has his arm wrapped around the smaller one's waist. They seem to be talking with each other.

"Renjun and Haechan." he mumbles. But maybe it's too loud because the couple turn to him.

"Jaeminnie!" Renjun greets, "Hello!"

"Hi, Jaemin." Donghyuck greets him as well.

He sighs heavily and waves at them, "Hi." He smiles slightly.

"Are you okay, Jaemin?" Renjun asks and he just nods. "You sure?"

"Let's talk later." He says to his bestfriend whom just nods and turns to his boyfriend once again.

When a bus stopped in front of them, he lets the couple get inside first before himself. He didn't sit beside them and chose a seat a bit far away from them. Renjun notices it and sighs.

Jaemin plugs in his earphones and leans his back on the chair. He closes his eyes and sighs once again.

"Why is Jaemin ignoring us, babe?" Donghyuck asks but Renjun just shrugs his shoulder.

"He said we'll talk later. I wonder what's he gonna tell me. I'm worried."

"Me, too."

Throughout the ride, Jaemin ignores them. When Donghyuck gets out of the bus when it stops in front of his school, he still ignores him. Until the bus gets in front of their school, he ignores his bestfriend.

He quickly get out of the bus and walks fast over to the gate. Renjun follows him until he reaches him by his classroom.

He calls him and that's when Jaemin stops and turns to him. His droopy and sleepy eyes are looking at him. "Renjun." he mumbles.

Jaemin stood there until Renjun approaches him and suddenly, he pulls him into a hug.

"Oh my God, Jaemin." Renjun rubs his back to soothes him. "What's going on? Do you want to talk about it? We haven't talked for a while."

Jaemin wants to cry but his dry eyes won't even let him. His chest is so heavy, he wants to let out all the burden he's feeling, just like what Jeno told him.

He pulls Renjun to the hallway and sits on the floor. The latter stares at him worriedly, didn't talk, and just waits for Jaemin to talk.

Jaemin sighs heavily and tries to look at Renjun. "I don't know where to start." he begins. His best friend just nods and gives him a small smile. "I... I told you Mom and Dad lost their sparks, right?"

"Yeah."

"It's true they're soulmates. They loved each other, that's true as well... but only platonic. My dad only loved my mom as his best friend. He told me they only got married because he got my mom pregnant. The marriage was a promise to my grandfather, mom's dad. And recently, I found out that Dad is gay, too, and he has a boyfriend for 3 years now."

"Wait..." Renjun blinks, couldn't believe of what he just heard. He tries to process everything. "What?"

"Basically, I was a mistake, Renjun."

Renjun widen his eyes. "No!"

"It's true, I was a mistake. I wasn't supposed to be born. They didn't even plan to have a child. I'm a mistake." And Jaemin's tears start to flow down his cheeks. "A fucking mistake!"

"Jaemin, no, don't say that. Everyone has a purpose in life. No one's a mistake. You're not a mistake. You're a... blessing. Imagine if your dad didn't get your mom pregnant, you wouldn't be here talking to me." Renjun pulls him into a hug. "It's alright, I'm here."

Jaemin hugs him back and stops crying. Hugging someone makes him feel better, especially those important people in his life; His mom, his boyfriend Jeno, and his bestfriend Renjun.

He wipes his tears with his one hand and pulls back from the hug. He looks at Renjun and smiles, "Thank you."

Renjun nods and smiles back, "You're always welcome."
