Red Strings // JaeNoRen

What?! How did he make that without looking?!

Renjun suddenly became curious. Did Jaemin play any sports? How is he not celebrating about that miracle shot right about now?

"Is something wrong?" Jaemin waved his hands in front of Renjun.

"A-ah no!" Renjun realized that he was staring at Jaemin a bit too long.

"Really? Okay~" Jaemin turned away and looked towards the food.

Huh... On closer inspection...Jaemin was rather handsome.

Renjun squealed inside as his heart fluttered.

In a panic, he looked at his hands.

No strings.

Just the good 'ol normal red band on his left ring finger.

Now...

Renjun stared at the problem before him across the table.

"YAH! That's my piece!" Mark squealed as Haechan took his last spam musubi.

"Mhmggff..." Haechan chewed on the musubi, not giving a care about Mark whatsoever.

"Fine," Mark sighed.

Just as a look of victory flashed in Haechan's eyes, Mark took the rest of Haechan's rolled egg.

"YAH! Are you crazy?!" Haechan smacked Mark's arm as the ramyun-haired boy scarfed the rolled egg down.

"It's only fair," Mark rolled his eyes.

"But you grabbed more musubi than anyone else!" Haechan whinned. "It wasn't a bit deal to share!"

"Well you grabbed more rolled egg than everyone here!" Mark shot back. "It's fine if I eat some, right?!"

*SMACK!*

"You two stop it this instant!" Taeyong swung the mighty wooden spoon at the pair in a large swoop. "Taeil doesn't feel well, so keep it down!"

"Omo! Is hyung okay?" Jisung looked at Taeil, who was sitting next to him at the table.

"Just a bit dizzy today, that's all.." Taeil quietly picked at his food.

"Jagi, here," Doyoung passed him a bowl of congee and took his plate away. "I made it for you."

Taeil smiled as he thanked his boyfriend for the bowl. Doyoung happily took Taeil's plate of untouched food and walked over to Mark and Haechan.

"Musubi for you," Doyoung placed Taeil's wraps on Mark's plate.

"...and rolled egg for you," Haechan's plate now had rolled egg on it thanks to Doyoung.

"Thanks hyung~" The two said in unison.

"Thank my Jagi," Doyoung smiled at Taeil.

"It's not a bit deal. I'm always okay with sharing," Taeil quietly ate his congee and smiled at the two younger boys.

Mark and Haechan went silent after that, guilty about Taeil.

Renjun sighed. How was he going to get those two together?

"They seem like good friends," Jeno smiled at them.

"Yeah... That's the problem..." Renjun mumbled.

"What do you mean?" Jeno looked at him questioningly.

"Hmm..." Renjun thought about it. "Jeno-ssi, if I asked you how you would get your friends together, what would you do?"

"Me?" Jeno looked rather taken aback by the question. "I...ahhh..... Umm....."

"Would make them spend more time together and talk to them both about their feelings," Jaemin butt in. "They're friends so..."

"Oh, that may be right," Renjun agreed.

"But they also may have their reason for being just friends too," Jeno answered, almost like he knew what Renjun was going to do.

"What do you mean?" Renjun looked at him.

"Well... Maybe they need help?" Jeno suggested.

"Hmm... Lets try it," Jaemin grinned.

"Huh?" Renjun didn't feel to sure about whatever Jaemin was planning.

"Jeno, you up for some volleyball?" Jaemin smiled.

"Now?!" Jeno almost spit out his food.

"Why not? It's just.... 'A little jealousyyyyyy~~~' " Jaemin chuckled.

Renjun really wasn't sure about this.

"Anything for Markhyuck..." Renjun mumbled.
