AGAIN | NOMIN

27

Jaemin ate a scoop of his ice cream but his mind is nowhere present this time. He has been spacing out from the time they arrived there

They decided to meet after work at an unpopular ice cream shop since they don't want to publicize their relationship just think about the nasty rumours that will spread around the building which will lead to his parents knowing. The fact society is cruel to same gender relationships so you never know

Jeno was already done with his ice cream while Jaemin's scoop was still stuck to his mouth and his ice cream slowly melting second by second

Jeno puckered his lips and tapped his boyfriend's shoulder "is there something wrong? you have been spacing out ever since we got here" he placed his arms around Jaemin trying to comfort him

Jaemin forced out an smile to show that it was nothing "nothing serious." glancing at his boyfriend beside him and continues to eat his melting ice cream "why are you staring at me like that? I told you it is nothing serious okay?" he shrugged

"If you aren't comfortable telling me then it's okay but I can try to help you solve it"

he only sighed. Thinking about their relationship doesn't feel right. I mean he has it all now what does he have to worry about? afraid of their relationship not being accepted by Jeno's parents and the fact that he also lied to them

"what about the arrangement marriage you had?"

"Don't worry it was cancelled by mother already"

"oh okay..."

"Is there something else bothering you?"

puckering his lips , he hummed "you really do know me well" Jaemin squints his eyes at his boyfriend "what if your mother doesn't accept us?" followed with a defeated sigh in reply

"Is there something wrong about relationship? are you already regretting it?" Jeno tried not to show sadness in his words

sending him a "are you serious?" glare "Did you have to twist my words? I'm just thinking about the consequences..." he pouted

"If ever something bad happens to us just don't leave me okay?"

—⏳—

Jaemin sat there awkwardly roaming his eyes around the house. The only thing you can hear us sound of the clock ticking on the wall

Since it's just the two of them alone He felt a lump on his throat. Looking over the window you can see the lights of building from afar and the river was even visible from that view, basically you can see the whole city.

Jaemin doesn't even know why are they so awkward with each other right now so he reached for the tv remote and picked a random movie on netflix. He thought he picked a horror movie but instead a romance movie played on the screen

but atleast it wasn't fifty Shad—

The two of them sat beside each other while their eyes focused on the movie playing until it played a scene where the two main characters are kissing passionately which made him choke on his drink

"Are you okay?" Jeno worriedly asked while patting his back

"o-oh I'm okay!" Jaemin just have to say that in the most forced out tone

Jeno furrowed his brows and nodded his head wondering why he was acting like that. He grabs his waist pulling him closer

he could feel his hot breath on his shoulder. At some point Jaemin felt hot  and dripping sweat even if the AC was on

Jeno noticed "why are you sweating already?"

his forehead creased as he raised both of his brows acting clueless "it's getting hot in here!" Jaemin said nervously along with a chuckle

Jeno blinked twice "but isn't the temperature about nineteen degrees cold?" he mumbled

"Why won't we focus back to the movie hm?" he said still avoiding his gaze while trying not to glance at him using perpetual sight

Jeno nodded in reply and transferred his focus to the tv screen not thinking much about it

two hours has passed and right when the movie ended Jaemin went straight to the kitchen and gave himself a glass of water knocking his thoughts over

Calm down self nothing will happen tonight. Stop thinking about it. I repeat nothing will happen tonight.

as he closed his eyes and repeated the sentence in his head for a couple of times he bumped into the older causing the glass of water to spill a little

"Oh shit I'll clean it up—" Jaemin was about the grab a towel when he felt a hand on his wrist stopping him

Jeno maintained the eye contact looking directly into Jaemin's eyes while his pupils shaking "why are you avoiding me?" he said in monotone

"I'm not—" he once again was cut off with a pair lips on his. His heart skipped a beat. Took him a second to process what was happening

leaning on the countertop while he responded to the kiss.

he opened his eyes he was inside a unfamiliar bedroom. Rubbing his eyes confuse where he was. His body took a screenshot when he saw the CEO beside him sleeping soundly "How the hell did I end up in here?" didn't he sleep on the couch?

did...

he actually carried me all the way here?

"good morning...." Jeno said in his bedroom voice , stretching his arms up

"Good morning. I'll go home to wash up" he said as he stood up ready to leave the room "see you later"

Jeno groaned and showed him a pouty face while he gaze up to his boyfriend stared at him with brows raised up

"what?"

"can I have my morning kiss?"

it caught him off guard. Jaemin froze in spot while he. Blinked twice "Morning kiss?" he snorted "didn't I give you enough kisses yesterday?"

"Today is a different day so it doesn't count"

Jaemin shook his head and walk away ignoring the male but the male gave him a hug from the back preventing him from leaving the bedroom

"what is it again" he groaned

"my morning kiss?" he said while placing his head on Jaemin's shoulder

Jaemin sighed , defeated and planted a quick peck on his cheeks "there." he tried to removed Jeno's arm around him "stop it we're gonna get late for work"

"But I'm the CEO"

Jaemin squinted his eyes at him "that still doesn't change anything"

"We have somewhere important to go"

Jaemin hummed confusingly "is it really that important?" squinting his eyes whether he should believe him or not

"just trust me. You'll understand once we get there"
