『❝ Love someone who
is Kinder to you
Than you are
To yourself.❞』
I went my house and closed the door. I realized that my mother's shoes are not on the floor.
"Maybe she's not home yet, damn..Such a long day."
I felt hungry, I went to the kitchen for some food. I saw a strawberry pie on the table. I grabbed a knife and sliced a piece. I grabbed a plate and fork, the headed to my bedroom.
"My second favorite..anything with strawberry will be just great."
I took a bit of the pie and put it in my mouth, while reading my favorite novel.
"Such a dramatic life..when will my life change?"
I think about what happened this day. Can I trust them yet? Can I..Trust Jeno? Should I really...make friends?
"Friends huh...I don't think I'm ready yet..."
As I took a bite of my pie, my phone suddenly rang. I picked it up and thought that it was my mother.
Incoming call NoJam
"Aish, this kid..."
Jeno
Nana! Hello?
Jaemin

Jeno

Jaemin

Jeno

Jaemin

Jeno

"Aigoo.."
I think I'm blushing...why are my cheeks feel so hot? Get it together Jaemin!
Jeno

Jaemin

Jeno

He said with a little tease in his voice, i can hear he giggled.
Jaemin

Jeno

"What's with that..."
I put my plate on the sink, washing it. My mom hasn't been back yet, should I call her? Maybe I should.
Calling Mother...
Mom
Yes dear?
Jaemin
Where are you now? Why are you not home yet?
Mom
Ah yes, I'm having dinner with your aunt and cousins, I thought that you will be home late...So your aunt asked me if I can have dinner with them.
Jaemin
Ahh..Okay mom..Are my cousins going to be staying in our house?
Mom
Yes actually, we'll be there in 20 more minutes, okay dear?
Jaemin
Okay mom, I'll wait.
Mom
Thanks dear, take care of the house..
Jaemin
I will mom, take care, bye.
Mom hung up the call
"Good to know that she's safe.."
"Cousins huh? It's been a long time since I saw them..."
"They changed..I changed..They just doesn't know about my life yet, and i don't plan on telling them about it."
"I'm just going to continue reading my Novel and just stay on my bed, while waiting for them to be home.."
I went back to my room. Reading more novel, drinking my milk. When I was about to go to the bathroom, I heard someone opening the door. I went outside, I saw my mom trying to take down some stuff from the car. I came outside and helped her.
"Jaemin dear, sorry for being late."
"Don't worry mom, everything is fine."
"Oh and meet your cousins and aunt!"
"This one is Jung Jaehyun, he lives in America for four years."
"That's why I'm here, man." #Jaehyun
"Nice...To see you again...Jaehyun hyung..."
"Your Jaemin? The little nerdy Jaemin? Yaaaahhh, daebbak, you've grown so much! You are taller now and very good looking as well!"
"Thanks...Hyung..You look good as well..."
"Thanks! Oh and don't forget your other hyung!"
"Who?"
"How can you forget about me?!"
"Jungwoo hyung?!"
"Yes kiddo, in the flash!" #Jungwoo
"Where's aunty?"
"She's still in the car."
"Ahh..Okay. Come in.."
I led them inside my house, it's been like 6 years since I saw them. They've been living out the country for study tour and also learning more about their college life.
"Jaemin~ah, you've grown so much...It's unbelievable." #woo
"Yeah, i know right! So...Jaemin~ah.."#Jae
"Oh I see what's coming..Please don't ask it..Please.."
"Sooooo, do you have a girlfriend yet? Or maybe a boyfriend?" #Jae
"I knew it...Actually no...I don't even have friends.."
"What-why?!" #Jae
"Since um..My best friend betrayed me.."
"Who is that best friend of yours?! More like fake friend! I'm gonna beat his ass!" #Jae
"Woah, hyung, calm down. So Jaemin, what did he do to you?" #Woo
"I..cant tell you..Yet."
"Oh wae?" #Woo
"If I talk about it...I might cry.."
"Awww it's okay Jaemin~ah, don't force yourself..." #Woo
"Everything is going to be alright, now, let's go in your room." #Jae
"I hope so..."
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
"Jaemin~ah, wakey wakey~"
It's morning already? Sure is fast...School again I guess...
"Ehn..Jungwoo hyung..."
"You better wake up sleepy head, you have school to go!"
"Okay..."
I get up from my bed, prepared my uniform and went in the bathroom.
~.~.~.~.~.~
"Jaemin~ah, your friends are here!" #Woo
Friends? But I don't have any- don't tell me...It's ...
"Nana!" #Jeno
I knew it...
"You didn't tell us that you have such lovely friends!" #Jae
"I told you they are no-"
"Yes we are his friends! He's just shy because he's new with us!" #Donghyuck
"Ah! How disrespectful of us for not introducing ourself, my name is Huang Renjun."
"I'm Lee Donghyuck, nickname is Haechan."
"Annyeong! My name is Zhong Chenle!"
"He's rich af." #Donghyuck
"Language! Oh sorry, I'm Mark Lee, the oldest...And currently babysitting them.."
"Um..Hi? My name is..Park Jisung, I'm the Maknae.."
"And im-"
"I know, you're Lee Jeno, right?"
"How do you know Ms.Na?"
"Don't be so formal to me Jeno~ya, just call me mom as well."
"Ah okay.."
"Actually, Jaemin did tell me many things about you."
"Uh.."
"You did?! Wah, thanks Nana!"
"No need...To thank me.."
"Awww~~~look at Jaemin, he's blushing~" #Donghyuck
"So cute..." #Jisung
"Yah Jisung! He's mine!"
"Oooooohhhhhhh" #All
"I mean! He's my friend!"
"Whatever Jeno, we all know that you're deeeeeppplyy in loooveee~"#Donghyuck
"Please ignore him.." #Mark
"Well then, we will be taking our leave.." #Renjun
"Wait, who are they Nana?"
"Ah...They are my cousins..This is Jaehyun hyung and the one on the left is Jungwoo hyung.."
"Nice to meet you kid!" #Jae
"Hai, Jeno~" #Woo
"Nice to meet you hyung!"
"Please take good care of Jaemin."
"We will mom!"
"Come on Nana!"
"Okay then..."
Maybe I should try to be friends with them...But I'm still scared. What if I messed up as their friends and other people will ignore them? I'm still not sure...I don't want them to be treated as same as other people treated me. I'm afraid that they might get hurt just because of me. Just because they are friends with me..Just what happened last year...
Will I be my old self again?
No.
To many things have happened in the past, I don't think I'll get over it in a short time.. but Jeno and the others...Are being too nice for someone like me.
I don't deserve them.
To be Continued...
Thanks for reading, I sarang you all!♡
