jeno did his best to keep his mind off jaemin's death.

he tried to lose himself in renjun's smiles and laughs, as he did before.

it was to no avail. after a few weeks of halfhearted hugs and kisses and accidentally being called "jaemin," renjun decided to move onto someone else. he couldn't stand to be in a relationship with someone who couldn't put in their all.

jeno spent most of his time afterwards alone. all he could think about was the way jaemin used to smile and laugh at him.

the way jaemin used to call his name after class.

the way jaemin used to lean in to kiss him on the cheek.

the way jaemin used to hug him in the morning.

the way jaemin used to hold his hand and tell him he loved him.

jeno stared down at his empty palm and whispered empty words with tears in his eyes.

"i love you, na jaemin."

but jaemin was gone.
