Chapter 5 - IV

the boys made it and were instantly greeted by some of jeno's friends, loud music and the strong scents of booze and cigars.

to say the least, he was in a foreign environment; renjun was just standing there, instinctively gripping onto jeno's wrist. "you okay there, small fry?" a tanned red-haired boy asks the lowkey shaking renjun who just nodded.

"this your client? god he's actually cute, jen. work your magic~" a seemingly older male whispered, making jeno smile. "i been knew he cute, kun-hyung." he whispers back as he dragged renjun to some makeshift bar counter.

renjun just stood there, clueless and with eyes that roamed around the room. hey that guy's kinda cute... plot twist; the guy he was thinking of is none other than na jaemin. "seen someone yet?" yeah, it hurts; but then again, he was just called in to do cupid shit and get renjun into a make out session or at best, a relationship...

"the pink-haired smiling emoji over there." emoji? jeno then turned to look at where renjun was subtly pointing and boom, he choked on air. "are you fucking kidding me right now?" "what? he seems nice~"

okay so 1. that shit hurted bro; 2. na jaemin? are you fucking kidding me? i'm here, huang. jeno kept quiet for a bit until his phone rang; a text from sicheng.

wiiiiinwiiiiin-hyung🥺

yo kun said the client cute. u can either get laid right now or get him to winkwonk someone else; i vote the first option.

[dude ain't that prohibited?]

bro... that's literally how lucas managed to even mEET jungwoo.

jeno then smiled, shrugged it off for a while as he went back to keeping his attention on renjun. "are you even listening?" "what?" "asshole." renjun scoffed but jeno saw; he saw that small smile on renjun's face. "why you smiling like that?" "i dunno~" renjun giggles, gently swinging a half-empty wineglass as he spoke.

yeah, he's probably getting tipsy. jeno says, finally taking into account that renjun has been visibly flimsy and giggly.
