run to you | renmin [ ?? ]

jaemin and jisung had parted hours ago. the boy was on his way to donghyuck's house, picked up by mark who was also headed there. since his best friends were going to be there, jeno decided to join in too. mark knocked on the door and donghyuck came to answer. "don't remember calling for a sleepover..." he joked, letting the two boys in. jeno was already seated comfortably on the couch with donghyuck's switch connected to the tv. "got an extra?" jaemin asked, setting down his bag. "let's play kart."

the four boys were settled with chips and soda littering a coffee table that was pushed to the side so they could occupy the floor space. "hah! suck my banana- JENO YOU SON OF A BITCH!" two rounds into the first game and the four boys were causing a huge ruckus, mark almost wanting to strangle donghyuck and jaemin basically trying to shove jeno aside and block his view of the tv. "get off me!" jeno laughed, tickling jaemin. "mark, you fat hoe stop choking me!" donghyuck coughed out as mark decided to sit in front of him and block his view. "that's it!" the boys kept play fighting like little children until donghyuck's mother came home. "HYUCK." mark yelled right as the door opened. donghyuck's mother was greeted with a mess of four boys nearly on top of each other, yelling at the tv screen and each other. "i'm not even gonna say anything." she chuckled to herself and went to put her coat away. donghyuck got up to tell her about jaemin staying over for as long as he needed to and, of course, she agreed. "can we get pizza?" mark asked jeno and jaemin. the two shrugged. "why not?" jeno said just as donghyuck came down. "mum says you can stay as long as you need to. and what's that about pizza?" he asked. jaemin nodded and thanked donghyuck. "can we order pizza? i don't think my parents planned dinner for me." mark said. donghyuck agreed and told his mother he was going to call the pizza place.

"jaemin? who's renjunnie?" jeno asked, peeking at jaemin's phone screen. as soon as jaemin heard that name, he dove straight for his phone and held it to his chest. he landed upside down on the sofa. "nothing. no one." he unlocked it and saw the countless messages renjun had sent, cursing under his breath. jeno tried to sneak a peak but jaemin smacked his cheek away.

jaemin giggled to himself seeing renjun's response which immediately triggered mark and jeno to look in his direction. feeling their gaze on him, jaemin looked up to see two pairs of expectant eyes. "what?" he asked. jeno squinted in suspicion as he turned back to the tv. "you know you sound weird when you giggle like that, jaemin." mark said, returning his attention to the tv as well. jaemin rolled his eyes. "noted, lee." the doorbell rang soon after and donghyuck bounded down the stairs noisily. "pizza!" he screeched. the three boys downstairs laughed and got up to help get the pizza and set up plates for everyone. "right. we're gonna treat this like a sleepover so spill your tea bitches." donghyuck said through big mouthfuls of the pizza. "no one has tea, hyuck." mark said. "jaemin probably has a lotta tea; who's renjunnie?" jeno gave a sly smirk. "you little bitch," jaemin muttered. "it's no one. just a friend." donghyuck pretended to be hurt, "so you lookin' at other hoes now? i see, jaemin. i see." jaemin snorted and nudged donghyuck's side, "shut up, hyuck. renjun's just an internet friend."

"okay this may be a lil serious but how did you even come to the conclusion that you were gay?" jeno asked. "looked at you probably." mark muttered, earning slaps from both jeno and jaemin. "wow what a couple." donghyuck sighed. "shut up!" jeno whined. "honestly...it's just a feeling. but i'm certainly not attracted to any girls so far, even if there are some pretty ones in the school." jaemin shrugged. "you think the girls are pretty? who?" donghyuck pushed on. jeno gave a side comment about how donghyuck was always looking for gossip but the boy ignored him. "um...do you really need to know?" jaemin asked, followed by donghyuck's incessant 'yes's. "um fine...i think yehwa is pretty cute. uh...ahrin and yoojung are quite pretty too i guess." jaemin softly answered. donghyuck squinted his eyes and slowly began to nod his head, "okay okay, that's good taste." mark looked at him with a confused face. "what?" donghyuck only rolled his eyes at his boyfriend. "hey shut up. a boy can be gay and appreciate the ladies." "right..." mark trailed off.

"jaemin, your phone is vibrating like hell." jeno said, reaching for it. jaemin's eyes widened and he tried to snatch his phone away from jeno's reaching arm. too late, jeno had already taken the device and jaemin was forced to attempt to grab it out of the boy's tight grip. "give it back!" he grunted as jeno laughed at his misery. "grip it harder and you'll break the damn thing and i didn't back up the chats and photos, dumbass!" mark and donghyuck didn't bother and continued eating, chatting to themselves. jeno began to read out the texts to jaemin's horror, catching the attention of the other two boys. " 'i need to go over'? 'i need you now jaem'? ooh, he's got a lil lover boy?" jeno teased. jaemin was on the verge of crying out loud, trying his best to hold in his tears. "g-give it back..." jaemin's grip on jeno's wrist loosened as he sat on the floor with a sad huff, finally giving up. jeno's expression suddenly changed as he slid the phone over to jaemin's hunched figure and took the plates to donghyuck's kitchen, muttering something about helping to wash up. mark softly told donghyuck he would follow jeno and talk to him and he left to the kitchen.

donghyuck scooted over to jaemin's side. the boy's shoulders were going up and down as his sniffles got louder and louder. donghyuck put a reassuring arm around jaemin's shoulders, squeezed them and rubbed his arm comfortingly, using his sweet voice to get jaemin to relax. "hey, jaeminnie...stop crying okay? jeno didn't mean to do any of that." "but he did... he consciously decided to do all those things. i-i get it's joking around and whatnot but..." donghyuck sighed, "the boy can't control when his jokes go too far. i know. but pay no mind, okay? i get it, jeno's an asshole sometimes-" jaemin gave him a look and donghyuck rolled his eyes. "-okay most of the time...but he's still one of your best friends and you've gotta be strong against this, okay? mark'll talk to him and we'll sort it out. you're okay, jaemin." donghyuck hugged him right and told him reassuring words lined with little jokes in it to make him smile. "thanks, hyuck." he said, giving donghyuck a small smile just as jeno and mark came it of the kitchen. jeno sighed and sat beside jaemin. "i'm sorry jaemin. i...i took the 'jokes' too far. i didn't mean to pry into your private life. forgive me?" jeno said. jaemin paused before engulfing jeno in a hug. "i forgive you. just don't do this shit again, yeah?" he said. jeno hugged the boy back with a smile. "promise."
