Chapter 7 - VI

days passed since that failed socialization attempt. renjun sighed, sitting down on the park bench as he began to observe his surroundings.

there were a few straight couples and even a tiny handful of same-sex couples who were trying their best to be subtle. he chuckled dryly, his thoughts were slowly drifting away from the idea of drawing whatever he could see.

if i somehow get myself into a relationship, i won't try too hard to fit in; fuck that. renjun then puffed his cheeks then breathed out, his lips were now forming a pout as he proceeded to draw on his notebook.

the goal was to draw some sort of scenery. renjun just wanted to be extra by adding some sort of sentiment to his homework.

the young artist just sat there, drawing away for the past half hour until someone tapped his shoulder. "ideal dates?" he hears jeno's voice. "the fuck you doing out here?" jeno then playfully rolls his eyes, sitting down next to renjun. "same goes for you, huang."

jeno... he'd been trying his very best to avoid renjun and maybe... just maybe get himself assigned to a different client.

119 decided to say fuck off and told him he had to satisfy his current client's needs; as said by their code of honour. "a code of honour?! dude we're a sex hotline."

"you've suddenly disappeared; what happened?" "nothing. just... shit, i guess." "is it because of that house party thing?"

jeno did the verb version of a slip of the tongue and accidentally nodded; his eyes turning wide when he finally grasped onto what he had done. "did i do something bad?" jeno shook his head, mumbling something incomprehensible.

"is it because i said i lowkey found jaemin attractive? or is it because i called you angel raphael?" renjun asks, his cheeks were now reddening.

not gonna lie, renjun's hopeless romantic heart begun to admire the efforts jeno did just for him to get rid of whatever romantic frustrations he had.

his heart was starting to whisper jeno's name without renjun even noticing.

"you were drunk, injun-ah; of course it wouldn't be the whole angel thing." "so you're upset cuz i thought your friend was handsome?" jeno stayed silent, eyes closed as he lowered his head.

that silence lasted for an unnatural amount of time until renjun ended up sneezing. "you know what? instead of discussing your drunken actions, let's get you home."
