The soprano opera singer was smooth, her voice in all the speakers in the car, but Renjun felt so cold and torn again when they stopped in front of Sicheng's apartment building. It was dark already and Renjun suddenly remembered he has a toned of undone schoolwork waiting, but absolutely no strength to do it. Maybe Sicheng and Yuta will help him, he hoped.
"Thank you for this beautiful afternoon," said Jaemin turning his way, his gaze slipping along his face causing Renjun to feel very awkward.
"Th-th-ank you," he stuttered.
"Yes, it was nice," Jaemin rubbed the back side of his neck sighing loudly.
"Very..." Renjun took a deep breath.
They were watching each other secretly Renjun's heart speeding up.
"If you need someone to talk to or want to hang out just call, I'm rather free this week," muttered Jaemin.
"Ok," Renjun had no idea when to go, actually he didn't want to go. "Can we meet again?" he asked so suddenly.
"Sure, when do you finish school tomorrow?" Jaemim turned his way their eyes meeting staying like locked there for a few long moments.
"A-a-tt- 3-3 p-p-m..."
"Ok, I'll pick you up. Think about something fun to do, now you'll show me the city life from your side."
"Ok," Renjun felt the heat reaching his cheeks.
He couldn't wait till tomorrow afternoon, his lips forming into a huge smile.
"So see you," Jaemin raised his brow but looked away quickly.
"See you," whispered Renjun leaving the car jumping out running towards the big building his head and insides still dancing as yes, Jaemin's face and stere were the only images in his mind.
'How was your day my love,' Jae's text lit up his phone when Renjun was lying down on the couch that was turned into a bed in Sicheng's apartment.
'It was ok, how are you? Please be fine I love you,' wrote Renjun back wishing he could hug Jae right now.
The door cracked and Sicheng tip toed into the room, he lifted the duvet slipping underneath it next to Renjun.
"How are you?" he asked.
Renjun just shrugged.
"Writing to Jae," he said.
"Taeil and Mark are taking care of him," Sicheng laid his arm around Renjun.
"I know," Renjun sighed.
Another text came so he focused on his screen.
'😘😘 good night big hugs,' he felt something glowing in his stomach as the text was from Jaemin.
"Who is it?" asked Sicheng who was also watching his phone screen.
"Ah... a friend," Renjun blushed.
"Friend?" Sicheng raised his brow.
"Yes just a friend," Renjun felt heat on his face.
"Have you met someone spacial?"
"No, just a friend!" muttered Renjun hiding his phone.
He decided to text back to Jaemin when Sicheng won't watch.
"Is he from your school?" asked Sicheng.
"Who?"
"The special friend?"
"No! Stop asking questions!" begged Renjun.
Actually with the situation now it would be nice if you had a boyfriend, someone who will make you happy."
"I'm not into boys," whispered Renjun laying down.
"Sure," Sicheng giggled kissing his cheek, he got up chuckling to himself when he left the room.
Renjun was mad, why was Sicheng assuming anything. Jaemin wasn't into boys either for sure. Renjun shivered taking his phone out from underneath the pillow.
'Goodnight,' he texted back without any emojis.
He trembled but wrote Jaemin's name into the search bar typing the term girlfriend in. His heart jumped uncontrollably when he clicked images of Jaemin with a beautiful girl, apparently also a supermodel, both holding hands walking down streets in different cities. There were a few photos of them kissing that made Renjun so upset he wanted to slam his phone against the wall, why, he should stop bothering.
'Jaemin and Stella broke up,' he read a headline, his vision blurring by tears although all articles were dated to two yeas ago and earlier.
He was digging deeper reading and crying till his eyes hurt, his insides were hurting even after finding out that Jaemin has been totally in love with the girl, but after two yeas of relationship they broke up two years ago and he was single since.
The door opened again so Renjun hid his phone lying down trying to wash off the tears to hide his crying from Sicheng who came back to lay down next to him. Sicheng hugged him tightly whispering sweet words into his hair, kissing his cheek goodnight in a lovely way. Of course it would have been too beautiful to be real, he had no chances with Jaemin, no way, Renjun clenched his fists trying his best to find some sleep.
