•The Ghost of Flowers• {[Nomin]}

✨🌸 Chapter 3 🌸✨

~•~

By the time Jeno went to bed, it was already eleven and his eyelids were threatening to close on him already.

He silently watched some EXO mvs on his phone to pass some time, because who doesn't love EXO?

His eyes became heavier and heavier and the view of wolf was becoming blurrier and blurrier. That is, until, a buzzing startled him back awake and he sat up with a start, his phone unfortunately falling on his face.

Jeno rubbed his nose in pain and picked his phone back up, exiting YouTube and entering his messages app. He saw a message from an unknown number and panicked for a second, before he opened up the text.

Unknown:
Hey, it's Jaemin :)

Jeno felt relieved that it wasn't some creepy stranger, but he soon freaked out again from knowing that he has to respond to the other. He's not good at this whole socializing thing.

He sat there for about five minutes debating, knowing well that his read receipts were automatically on and that Jaemin knew damn well that he saw the text.

Unknown:
Why aren't you answering :(

Jeno then snapped himself out of it and tried to form the best possible hello he could without sounding like he's never done this before.

Jeno:
Sorry! My brother distracted me! Hi Jaemin!

He pressed send and cursed himself for already lying to the other about something super dumb. He felt like an idiot as his stomach clenched while waiting for a response. His pillow was now scrunched in his arms as seconds seemed like minutes.

Unknown:
That's fine! :)

Jeno smiled a little feeling relieved, and also at how his face went from smiling to frowning to smiling again. He weirdly found that kinda cute. He shook his head and let the thought escape him, clicking on Jaemin's contact to add his name.

Jaemin-ah (:
Jenoo stop leaving me on read :,(

The black haired laughed at how he so smartly made the parenthese in his username make a face with the colon. He seriously needs a life if this is what makes him laugh.

Jeno:
Sorry Jaemin-ah, just making your username.

Jaemin-ah (:
Ohhh is it like "Jaeminoppa💕💖"

Jeno:
No you're not my oppa

Sehun is.

Jaemin-ah (:
YOU KNOW EXO??
I LOVE EXO!!

Jeno:
SAME!!

Jaemin-ah (:
It is lovely to have a fellow stan in my presence. I welcome you wholeheartedly.

Jeno:
I agree, fellow stan. I am glad to have been united with someone who has as great of taste as myself.

Jaemin-ah (:
You think I have great taste?? *wipes tears* that's the nicest thing anyone has ever told me

They texted for about another half hour like that, Jeno laughing like an idiot to himself as he texted the other with a smile.

Jaemin then decided he was extremely tired and went to bed. They said their goodbyes and soon Jaemin went offline. Jeno smiled and turned off his phone. He had no idea when he first met Jaemin that they would get along so well.

He honestly felt like he could talk to the other without hesitance unlike how he is with most people he knows. He's usually the quiet kid that no one notices, and never genuinely makes a whole ton of friends.

But Jaemin was an exception. For some reason the other wanted to talk to Jeno, and that's never happened before. Whenever someone does talk to Jeno, it's either his brother, his only friend, or some girl flirting with him. He has to silently decline the girls because dating is just not his top priority right now.

Maybe Jaemin could actually become his friend. His only other friend was revisiting Canada and he was alone for about a week now.

Jeno smiled and placed his phone on his chest, staring at the ceiling above him with a lot on his mind.

He then felt a buzzing coming from his phone again and immediately opened it up, seeing another text from Jaemin who he thought fell asleep already.

Jaemin-ah (:
Before I sleep though, are you alright? I mean with what happened today and everything

Jeno faintly smiled at his phone before typing a response.

Jeno:
Yes, thank you for helping me even though I was a stranger, that was really kind of you (also that ice cream was friggen good)

Jaemin-ah (:
No problem. And also, I think we're solid friends now, so no need to call me a stranger :))

Jeno laughed at his text and felt his chest tighten. He seriously can't remember the last time he got along so well with someone.

They both said goodnight again and this time Jaemin really meant it. Even though, unbeknownst to Jeno, Jaemin wanted to text even more but was honestly passing out from tiredness.

Jeno placed his phone next to him and snuggled himself into his bedsheets. His mind was running wild and suddenly he felt extremely tired again.

Sleep soon overtook the dark haired boy, and a smile left itself on his lips.

For a day that was usually hard for him, he weirdly felt happiness.
