started with a dare | NORENMIN

24 | SOLVED? (part 1)

but all jaemin did as a response to the other's request was look at the box of food, look up to his friend, look back down for he food, and settle his gaze on the door behind his friend before walking around him.

and this was the point where the brown haired male had enough.

just before jaemin could make his way fully around his friend, jeno grabbed onto the brown haired boy's upper arm, slightly moving his arm back as his friend continued to walk, but soon pushed jaemin's arm so that the other was back in front of him, and released his grip on the other.

the look on jeno's face after looking at his roommate was not something pleasant. he gritted his teeth and clenched his jaw, balling his hand into a fist while he refrained the urge to give his friend a good punch.

renjun witnessed this action and quickly made his way over to jeno's side, holding onto the arm of the brown haired male that was still holding the box of food before taking it out of his hand to place it back on the table. the chinese male then quickly returned back to his friend's side and tried to calm him down as a way to stop him from doing something he might regret later on.

but jeno was clearly angry and frustrated with his friend's actions. it was written all over his face, how much he was done with jaemin's cold ways towards his best friends, and honestly, renjun didn't know if he would be able to stop a fight from happening if jeno ended up throwing a punch.

and that's when the yelling began.

"what's wrong with you jaemin?! why are you avoid renjun and i?! why are you treating us like shit? what did we do to you?" the brown haired male that renjun was holding onto started the argument by asking questions, questions that the red haired male was also curious about.

the brown haired male's behavior suddenly changed one day, causing him to become distant and cold to his two roommates, who had no idea as to what was going on or what they had done wrong. they tried to make it up to him by getting close to him and inviting him to everything they did, but it was hard to make up for something when you don't even know what you did wrong.

"do i have to have a reason for my behavior?" jaemin threw back to jeno, answering his questions by asking another question. he may be acting like jerk right now, but the brown haired male had a reason for it, and although the reason he has won't be valid enough to explain his actions, it was better than acting this way for nothing at all.

"whatever reason you manage to come up with won't justify your actions towards us. you suddenly did a whole one-eighty and went all elsa on us. how are we supposed to react?"

the only thing that came out of jaemin's mouth as a response was a scoff, crossing his arms in the process and rolling his eyes. "and i should care because?"

and the only thing that escaped from jeno's mouth was a scoff. it was the only thing that could escape from his mouth. jaemin's words were only heightening the brown haired boy's anger and making him more eager to land a punch on his friend's face.

both of his hands were now clenched into a fist, making his knuckles turn white with the tightness of the strength he was putting into it. renjun saw this and could feel the anger inside jeno rising, so he grabbed onto the younger's hand and interlocked their fingers to help the other calm down.

this actions didn't go unnoticed by jaemin, however, and it just made him more motivated to give up and move on. he no longer wanted to interfere in whatever relationship his two best friend's had, if he was ever interfering in the first place, and he no longer felt the urge to try and argue with his friend anymore.
