"Junie stop," begged Jae when Renjun tripped over a chair and almost broke two plates.
"Sit babe and let us handle it," Jaemin sighed taking the plates out of Renjun's hands when the boy slipped on a chair watching Jaemin with soft in love eyes, following each of his moves like fixed.
"He's so cute," whispered Jaemin chuckling when Jae began to prepare the supper with him.
He could see Jaemin was in love as much as Renjun but being older he could pay it cool, while he was totally unbothered with Junie being clingy and more than obvious.
They were preparing supper in silence, Renjun stood up to help them lay the table, soon everything was ready and Jaemin opened the wine bottle finding two glasses.
Jae sat down observing Jaemin trying to decipher what was going on in his mind, or was Jaemin simply crazy involving himself into a fling with a fifteen year old boy.
"You know you need to wait fof thfee mofe yeafs to do anything mofe than what you'fe doing now," said Jae looking Jaemin in the eyes.
"I know," Jaemin just smiled. "I would wait a hundred and twenty years just to be with Renjun, he's worth it."
Renjun became totally red almost slipping under the table from embarrassment when Jae realized it might not be the right moment to discuss the matter with Jaemin openly, they needed to wait till Renjun will be tired enough to go to sleep then they could speak freely.
"So for Renjun, because he's worth it," said Jaemin lifting the wine glass when Jae sighed taking the cheers.
Renjun was watching them with hope, Jae looked away as he has never imagined to see that much affection in his son's eyes so early. Was it because Taeyong had left and Renjun needed someone older to be in his life, so he was just misinterpreting his own feelings.
They were eating in silence, Renjun was bouncing on the chair, from time to time Jaemin was telling Jae that the supper is great or complimenting the kitchen interior. Finally they finished the meal, drunk down the wine and juice, the silence was building around them.
"Jaemin I'll show you something. We can sit in the living room right?" asked Renjun excitedly raising up.
"Sure," Jaemin giggled, he was following Renjun with burning eyes when Jae tried his best to stay calm.
Renjun's footsteps became distant when their eyes met above the table.
Jaemin's hands began to tremble on the wine glass.
"Don't think bad about me Jae, I mean it all, Renjun is the one," he said quietly.
Jae was sitting there unsure what to tell or to do, a part of him would love to kick Jaemin out of the house but the other knew he could never harm Junie like that, he need to accept Jaemin for his son, even if he had one million doubts. Jaemin was 24, a grown up man leading his own life, he had definitely dated before, he was popular among girls, what was he doing here with a baby liked Renjun.
"I don't undefstand," whispered Jae.
"I don't understand it too, it just happened and I can't change my heart, I don't even want to as being with Renjun gives me so much happiness, I have never expected that kind of bond," whispered Jaemin.
He risked to look up at Jae who was stunned as he couldn't find any lie in these dark orbs.
"I'm back," Junie feel into the kitchen panting loudly when both Jaemin and Jae giggled.
"Baby felax and take a bfeath," said Jae.
"Ok," Renjun's cheeks were red.
"Let's go to the living foom to sit mofe comfoftably," muttered Jae getting up.
They reached the living room sitting down on the couch, Jae took a chair opposite them when Ti jumped up on pillow next to Renjun.
"Oh, this must be Ti, I have herd a lot about her," Jaemin stretched his hand out to caress the cat that cuddled to his palm.
"She likes you," whispered Renjun watching Jaemin unable to believe it went so well so far. Jae wasn't flipping out, he wasn't screaming, he hasn't kicked Jaemin out, he was just observing them calmly, Jaemin rather nervous Renjun has never seen him that nervous. Jaemin's hand was wet when he took it squeezing tightly.
"So, you wanted to show me something," whispered Jaemin. "I will be going soon, it's getting late you both definitely need to rest."
"No, not yet," Renjun cuddled to Jaemin's side glancing at Jae who made no move to separate them.
"Here look at this," Renjun reached for the box he had brought from his room opening it while Ti put her nose inside.
"You've seen it already!" protested Renjun pushing the cat away gently. He took the two photos he was keeping there out then handed them to Jaemin.
"See this were my parents, the firsts ones and yes that was me," he said when Jaemin was watching the photos his face undecipherable.
"You were so beautiful, always," said Jaemin caressing his baby photo when Renjun blushed hard.
"Stop," he begged.
"It's true, right Jae, noting can top Renjun's beauty?" asked Jaemin when Jae chuckled under his nose.
"You have one more photo here," said Jaemin looking into the box when Renjun shivered.
