With a big smile carved on his face, jeno arrange the large beverage cups looking like his mouth is going to tear anytime soon. The male couldn't feel happier seeing chenle for almost everyday since they got their 'relationship' fixed.

The two have become more close than they already is. Chenle always visits him at the dream café every afternoon or sometimes late at night when the he's on a night shift, catching up with what happened to their lives for the past years without each other.

Of course, jeno could not help but to feel salty as chenle never fails to mention aera in every story he will tell him.

He understands that the two have been together through their ups and down ever since they tie the knot, but never been romantically involved with each other since they're not into the idea of it.

However, what if chenle had developed a little crush on aera? or vice versa?

Or what if they had a crush on each other? they just didn't realize.

Those kind of questions running in his mind that makes him stay up at night.

"Relax, jeno... he already said 'I love you' to you for how many times already!" jeno said smiling at himself, remembering that he will see chenle again later

Jeno took a seat as soon as he finish organizing and immediately check his phone for some updates or some messages from the café owner or his colleague who is on-leave for a week long vacation, he wanted to take a leave too but as we all know, this is the perfect time when he got to bond with chenle without having to deal with a non-stop talking human.

When he is about to turn his phone off, a familiar name of a female showed up in his screen.

Not hyunsoo, of course.

"Hey there, yeji!" jeno greeted with his eye smile, waving at the after 

Yeji grinned brightly at him on the other line before waving her hands as well "How are you?"

"What do you think?"

After the lees move to canada, the two never lose their contacts. Jeno would always to her about his shortcomings as well as the little things that ruin his day, same to her as well.

She is also one of those people who knows what he have been through after what happened between him and the chinese male, like mark, she's also not mad at chenle but is questioning why does he have to do that knowing that it will cause jeno a lot of pain.

"You look unusually happy, is there some sort of miracle happened?"

The male's eyes have completely disappeared at the question "I'm really happy, yeji..."

"Why?"

"Secret..."

"YAH! Don't tell me you and hyunsoo got back together?"

"Gross. Why would you think of that?"

"Well... That's a fricking relief, you know I've been wondering how in the world did you get crazy about that girl when she's ugly inside and out?"

"I am asking myself the same question, yeji."

"Back to the question... May I know the reason behind your huge smile?"

Jeno bend his head forward to hide the fluster slowly creeping in his cheeks, he click the share screen and immediately goes to the home page where his photo with the chinese male was posted as his wallpaper.

As expected, yeji's jaw was nowhere to be found while rubbing her eyes at what she is seeing at the moment. Just like the other couple, she is utterly surprise at what jeno have shown her.
