A/N: So I know I said I wasn't in the best condition and stuff and you guys told me to rest first...but I'm like bored and literally stuck in bed because it hurts so bad.

Also can't go to the doctor because it's really strict right now and also because it's very expensive.

Love how I get the blame for my suffering and it's my fault, she said and I quote, "this house has a lot of problems and I do all the work," :')

Anyways, Hope you enjoy this chapter! And I apologize if it's not the best cuz my brain isn't really thinking well lmao

"Wait what?!" Donghyuck screams when his cousin explained what had happened the other night.

Jeno squeaks and goes over the table to cover his cousin's mouth with his hands, "shh!" He looks around the boba shop and flushes red when he sees eyes on them, "keep your voice down please," he whispers.

Donghyuck nods and Jeno sighs removing his hands before sitting back down to his seat, "that motherfucker!" Jeno shuts his eyes as the tanned male spoke, saliva hitting his cheek.

The blond took some tissues and wipes his cheek as his cousin was aggressively sipping on his drink, "I'll burn his dick down," he grumbles.

Jeno rolled his eyes, "you'll go to jail for that."

"You'll bail me out, jail is just a cell," Donghyuck smiles smugly as Jeno snorts at him.

"Yeah, and money is just paper," he flicks his cousin's forehead, the boy winces and he sighs.

"You don't still love him though," an awkward silence as Jeno looks away, "right?" Donghyuck asked softly.

His cousin nods reluctantly still looking away, "Jeno," he places a comforting hand on the blond's, rubbing his thumb in circles, "you can tell me."

Jeno looks back to his cousin, tears in his eyes as he swallows back a sob, "I-," he breaks. He starts to cry as Donghyuck stood up and came to his side, wrapping his arms around the sad blond.

The tanned male rubs his back and whispers sweet words to calm his cousin down, ignoring the attention they have brought to his work place, he glances at the clock and sighs in relief when he still has a few minutes left before going back to the counter.

After a few minutes, Jeno calms down and sniffles, "I still do," he said barely audible, but luckily Donghyuck heard it and nodded, gesturing him to continue.

"Is it b-bad that I still d-do?" He hiccups looking at Donghyuck with red puffy eyes, "even after w-what he did to me?"

Donghyuck pursed his lips, "no," he said and brushes Jeno's bangs away from his eyes, "it's okay to still love someone after what they did," he pauses, "besides, you can't control feelings," he smiles a little.

Jeno nodded slowly and hiccups, "but i-it hurts," he tears up again as Donghyuck rocks them side to side.

"Love hurts," Donghyuck said bitterly, "but that's part of it, an obstacle everyone goes through in one point in their lives," he sighs.

Jeno kept quiet as he cuddles closer, but sadly the moment was cut when Donghyuck's coworker called him, "yo donkey! Come back to work!" The tanned male groans and pulls away to flip him off.

Jeno chuckles a little as Donghyuck looked at him with sympathy, "call me when you need someone, okay?" His cousin nodded understandingly and hugged him one more time.

They bid goodbyes with Donghyuck yelling at his coworker but soon froze seeing the next customer in line was none other than Huang Renjun. Jeno giggled seeing the two boys oogling at each other.

He took his belongings and left the shop, leaving his cousin and his cousin's possible crush alone, the blond walks back to his dorm with his head low.

Being in a low state that he is, he bumps into someone and looks up to see Mark, the raven haired smiled at him but soon frowned when he saw Jeno with red puffy eyes and tear stained cheeks.

"Are you okay?" Jeno shook his head as he tried to smile, but with no energy whatsoever. Mark pursed his lips and decided not to push it, "do you want to talk about it?" He asked carefully.

Jeno ponders for awhile before nodding, Mark smiles a little and help him with his stuff as they walk towards the elevator.

They arrived on Jeno's dorm as the boy took out his keys to open the door, seeing it empty he sighs in relief before gesturing Mark to come in.

Although he doesn't want to talk to his roommate, he doesn't like breaking certain rules as well.

My princess dotori🌺:

Stupid Face:

Replacing me already? I'm hurt :(

Jeno sighs, "no one could replace you."

My princess dotori🌺:

Stupid Face:

Shutting his phone as he looks at Mark who was sitting on his bed, "do you need anything? Food? Water?"

Mark smiled, "no it's okay," he then tilts his head with a pout, "do you need anything?" He emphasized as he asked.

Jeno can't help but smile, "a cuddle buddy would be nice," he replied.

Mark laughs and beckons him with his arms out, "c'mere," laughing along with the elder, Jeno runs and hugs the raven haired as they landed softly on the bed in each other's arms.

They settled themselves with Jeno's laptop between their legs as they cuddled watching a movie, Jeno had just told him about what had happened and he felt really sorry for the younger.

Jeno had told him it was fine and it wasn't his fault, but Mark shook his head and demanded for a movie marathon saying, "take it as an 'I'm here for you' thing," making Jeno roll his eyes but nodded anyway.

"Thanks for this hyung," Jeno said smiling, Mark turns towards him and smiles back.

"It's no problem," he leans in and pecks Jeno's forehead as the door opened, revealing Jaemin with his backpack on his shoulder.

The blond looks at them with wide eyes before shaking his head and walking to the kitchen. Mark chuckles and looks at Jeno who's eyes were at the kitchen entrance.

"I think I should go now," he said and stood up grabbing his things, Jeno sits up with a pout and Mark could only laugh, "Text me okay?" The younger huffs and nodded anyway.

He smiles and ruffles Jeno's hair before leaving, not forgetting to wink playfully at the younger blond, making the latter giggle softly and waves goodbye.

"Seems like you guys had fun," Jaemin said leaning on the wall with his arms crossed, Jeno flinches at the sudden voice and turns to him.

"I guess we did," he shrugs, Jaemin rolled his eyes and goes to his side in the room, taking off his shirt before grabbing a new one.

Jeno heats up seeing Jaemin's muscled torso and turning away, the elder blond grabs his leather jacket before heading towards the door, "I'll be out."

Jeno tilts his head and Jaemin so badly wants to wrap his arms around the younger, "but you just got here?" He pouts unconsciously.

Jaemin bites the inside of his cheeks before replying, "I have extra things to do," Jeno pouts even more before nodding.

"Okay," he said, "take care," he mumbles before laying back down and pulling his blanket over his head.

Jaemin sighs, "you too," before closing the door softly and going downstairs to head over to the bar.
