"Jeno?"

"Uh, I know you're already super busy and stuff, but uhm...my sister saw how good you are with kids and with Chan especially. Plus he's already super attached to you, so she was wondering if you wanted to be like his official babysitter. Because right now it's either me and you, Jaehyun hyung, or noona taking care of him....And I get it if you say no! You have a lot on your plate with work, dance, and college stuff so it's fine if you can't. She just thought it was a nice suggestion."

Jaemin smiles warmly, ruffling Jeno's hair. "God you had me worried with how hard you were shaking." Jeno just pouts making Jaemin smile wider. "It might be a tight fit but I did stop tutoring Jisung once he got a grasp on things so my schedule is a bit looser now. I'd love to babysit Chan." He laughs at Jeno's relieved face.

"Thank god, she would probably have threatened your boss to give you less hours." Jeno sighs, glad that his friend- well, was Jaemin his friend? He certainly wasn't Jeno's boyfriend. Maybe friends with benefits? But then that made it sound like there were no feelings involved when there obviously were. More than friends but less than boyfriends? Jeno wasn't always a big fan of labels but he just wanted it to all be perfect for Jaemin. He wanted to show the boy off, let people know he was his. But he couldn't do that yet. Jaemin wasn't his...yet.

"Yah, Jeno, hurry up or I'm leaving you behind. And I was gonna make your favorite for dinner tonight." Jaemin calls to the older, who snapped out of his daze.

"Wait for me!"

"Jeno if you have the time to back hug me, then you have the time to set the table. Chop chop!" Jeno groans and released the cooking Jaemin from his grip. He walks over to the cabinets, grumbling the whole time.

"I don't like your chef side."

"I have a chef side?" Jaemin raises a brow, eyes not taken off from the cooking beef.

"You have many sides." Jeno places the plates and napkins down. "And I think your chef side is one of the worst. That and your tutor side."

Jaemin rolls his eyes and takes the beef off the heat and places it on the bowl with the fried rice. The two boys sit down and begin eating.

"What other sides do I have?"

"Well..." Jeno stares intensely at his food in thought. "Let's see, there's, as I said before, your chef side. Your tutor side." He begins counting on his fingers. "There's your passionate side, which is one of the most common ones."

"You're talking as if I have 20 different personalities." Jaemin narrows his eyes at the boy sitting across from him who was still listing them all out.

"You have your sad side. I don't like that one." Jeno pouts. "You have your tired side."

"My what?"

"Tired side, it's when you first wake up and you're all confused. It's adorable." Jeno smiles widely, making Jaemin bury his head in his hands.

"I can't with you and your smooth compliments."

"I know you love it."
