08 ; you are a failure

"Let's talk daily blowjobs."

"Extra nutrients," was all that Yangyang said in response to Kunhang's statement.

"Well..." Renjun trailed off. "You're not wrong, but you're not right either."

"Wait," Dejun placed his hands on his table, processing the information. "How long do you think someone in the apocalypse could survive off of cum?"

"Not long, I bet," Sicheng replied. "Like, yes, there's nutrients, but if that's all you're having, it'll probably get less nutritional as the days go on."

"That's... very scientific-y," Kun remarked, "and you're not even in the Scholar sector."

"I was supposed to be, but I convinced my parents to not force me. It was, dare I say, a win-win."

"Aha," Chenle deadpanned. The sound of his voice seemed to make WayV (now including Renjun, apparently) remember that he was also seated at their table.

Ten leaned onto his elbows. "Oh, sweet little Zhong Chenle..."

Now, this wasn't looking good. Ten only used that condescending tone when he wanted to point out something stupid that Chenle had either done or was about to do.

"...how's the Jisung situation?"

Chenle sighed. Every time someone asked him this, he had the same answer. It was tiring. "It's gone nowhere. I—"

"You don't want Jisung's nutrients?"

"Oh my god, shut up Ten! But, as I was saying, I—"

"Failure," Renjun interjected quickly. "But, seriously, why are you drawing this out for so long?"

"I don't know." It was always his answer.

"Then do something about it."

Those were the words that Chenle thought about when he got home.

It was about fucking time.

Well, that's new, Jisung thought. He opened the video, wondering what it was.

"Hey, Ji. It's me.

Look, it's been way too long and, well... I don't really know why. I guess I'm just a little nervous for what our friendship could be like in the future... ah, I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm sorry. I'm really fucking sorry. Look, I shouldn't have punched you, I shouldn't have run away, and that was a shitty way to reject you. So that's that. I'm fucking sorry, I know your nose thankfully isn't broken, and I still consider you a friend. I don't even know what I was thinking. I just... well, let my fist do the talking for me. Enough about that. I really want to salvage what's left of us as friends, so I really hope you accept my over-a-week-late apology. Um, that's it, I guess."

Jisung saved the video and opened up a certain groupchat.

Friends.

Jisung hated the taste of the word on his lips. Still, he had to settle for what he could have.

And Chenle wasn't something he could keep.
