STOP MESSAGING ME THEN

the last person jeno expected to be standing outside of his house was his ex-girlfriend. he watched in confusion as she hovered near the staircase, frowning down at her phone.

"yoonmi," he breathed out without thinking.

"oh, hey jeno." she blinked up at him, seemingly unaffected by his presence.

jeno ignored the hurt in his chest, swallowing before opening his mouth again. "why are you...?"

"oh, i'm just waiting for jaemin. he asked me to go with him to an audition." she answered, swiping a stray hair behind her ear.

"your hair," he trailed, "it's blonde."

jeno fought the urge to reach over and run his fingers through it.

"yes," she replied, avoiding all possible eye contact with him by staring at his chest.

"yoon, i-," jeno began, brows pulled together in desperation before being cut off.

"it's fine, you don't have to explain yourself." the girl said, looking up to meet his face.

"no, i think i do have to explain myself. yoonmi, i-,"

"sorry about that, renjun made a comment about how unflattering my outfit was so i had to go and change." jaemin laughed before stopping short upon noticing the scene in front of him. "oh jeno, i thought you'd already left."

jeno swallowed, not even bothering to look at him. "yeah, i was waiting for mark."

"mark's here?," jaemin peered at the car in the driveway, waving at the window in confusion.

"i'll wait in the car," yoonmi suddenly spoke, plucking jaemin's keys out of his hand and walking away. she paused to wave at mark before unlocking and climbing into the vehicle.

jeno ran a hand through his hair in frustration.

"it'll be okay," jaemin offered, setting a hand on jeno's shoulder. "see you later?"

"yeah," jeno replied, shoving his hands into his pocket, "see you later."

jeno
i think i messed up

hyuck
you THINK?
why are u messaging me anyway big head

jeno
too embarrassed to talk to you in person
besides you and yoonmi are really close these days

hyuck
i guess so
get to the point
me and mark are playing mario kart

jeno
i don't know what to do
i honestly thought i was doing the right thing by breaking up with her

hyuck
the right thing?
why did you even do it?

jeno
there's a reason

hyuck
which is

jeno
last week
after we'd made it public
a friend of yoonmi's talked to me and told me how hard things have been for her
i felt horrible
so i had to break up with her

hyuck
sigh
here you go again

jeno
?

hyuck
jeno.
yoonmi is an adult
she can make her own decisions
unless she came to you and told you she couldn't handle it and wanted to break up, you don't have the right to assume what's good for her

jeno
you're right
i just don't want her to be hurt because of me

hyuck
she isn't getting hurt because of you
she's getting hurt BY YOU.
get yourself together before i date her myself you dumbass

jeno
shut up.
so what do i do now

hyuck
what do you want to do?

jeno
obviously i want to be with her

hyuck
well for starters
you should probably begin with explaining what happened
yoonmi genuinely thinks you broke up with her for no reason

jeno
what do i say
i'm scared

hyuck
god i hope she doesn't take you back.

jeno
don't jinx it idiot

hyuck
jeno it's simple really
1, tell her why you did what you did
2, apologize for what you did
3, beg her to take you back
4, if she does, don't fuck up again and if she doesn't, you'd better close your eyes when i make a move on her 😏

jeno
STOP SAYING THAT
don't tell me you like yoonmi.

hyuck
she's pretty
and easy to tease
somehow she reminds me of mark...

jeno
stick to mark then.

hyuck
but i'm a bit bored these days...
there's only so much fun i can have with mark 💔

jeno
what if i killed you

hyuck
OKAY I'LL STOP!!
just make sure u talk to yoonmi

jeno
i will
