- lee jeno; your go to, shoulder to cry on, advisor, and best friend
- he was the first one ready to comfort you when things went wrong w your significant other
- “you deserve so much better y/n”
- holding your hand, rubbing your back, trying to make you laugh after crying
- you were oblivious to his feelings for you
- the way his heart beat accelerated whenever you called
- or how hard he tried not to kiss your cheek when you said you were thankful for him
- but he knew you didn’t feel the same
- so he saved himself the humiliation that came with rejection and valued your friendship instead
- until the summer after graduation
- “this time it’s just gonna be me and you! no boyfriends or girlfriends, just the two of us”
- he excitingly agreed and began planning out the most perfect summer
- “we can go to the beach and stargaze ! there’s also a new cafe i wanna you to take me to”
- he saw you consistently, falling more and more in love
- it felt good to have you all to himself, not having to worry about fixing other people’s mistakes
- and then one night while walking home from the movies
- it was a very subtle move
- you continued walking, ignoring his burning stare towards your hands
- he smiled and interwinded his fingers, walking closer to you
- about a block away from your home you shook his hand off of yours
- “sorry haha” “for what?” “that was weird of me”
- jeno went home with butterflies in his stomach that night
- perhaps you’d end up falling for him too ??? he hoped anyway
- as summer rolled out, you became ‘busier’ with university plans and the duo saw each other less and less
- “hi i miss you… _______ is having a party tonight, wanna go bestie?”
- “miss you too and ofc dummy”
- since it had been so long, jeno was anxious to see you
- he wanted to make a move since things had been going so smoothly and there wasn’t anyone else you were talking to
- he was pleasantly surprised when you held his hand again walking out of your home
- “everyone from school is gonna be there so it’s gonna be fun” you said happily
- you constantly locked and unlocked your phone
- jeno noticed and gently squeezed your hand
- “is everything ok?” “perfect”
- once there, he noticed you getting closer
- he liked you being clingy
- “let’s dance” you said suddenly, pulling him up from the stool he sat on and into the living room
- jeno was so utterly intrigued with the way you moved he failed to noticed your attention wasn’t on him at all
- “you’ve suprisingly gotten better at dancing?maybe you can come by the studio and we can d-“
- you grabbed his face and quickly kissed him, your eyes watching someone else
- he slowly reopened his eyes, legs turning into jell-o
- “w-what was that?” he smiled shyly
- “i like you, jeno. i’ve always liked you” you said loudly
- he was speechless, shaking his head in disbelief
- “i-i’ve always liked you too- wow i”
- you giggled and kissed his cheek, taking his hand again
- he couldn’t stop smiling, his eyes sparkling under the colorful lights flashing
- “hey it’s getting kind of hot in here,do you mind grabbing me something to drink? I’m gonna step out a bit”
- he nodded and quickly kissed your cheek before walking away
- jeno: guyS SHE KISSED ME

renjun: ASKFJR ARE YOU DATING THEN
jaemin: why are you tellinG uS ?¿ where did you leave her you dUMB
- jeno inhaled deeply before putting his phone away
- he grabbed two water bottles and walked outside where there was a smaller crowd spread across the yard
- “jeno!” you waved him over, reaching your hand out
- you were talking with your ex, who jeno hadn’t heard about since graduation
- “oh … are you guys a thing now?” s/he asked
- “yes, we’re together and we’re happy” you answered quickly
- his ears turned pink again and his heart beat faster
- “yea… we’re dating” he slowly repeated, looking towards you
- you took your water bottle and wrapped his arm around you, keeping your eyes locked on your past lover
- jeno‘s eyes stayed glued to you… this was the summer he imagined: his arm wrapped around you securely, his feelings for you being acknowledged and returned, it was perfect.
- “anyway, it’s getting kind of late so jeno and i should probably be heading home” you smiled
- “ok cool, well it was nice seeing you again y/n..”
- you clung onto jeno’s arm as you both walked out into the dim street
- “wOW that was so good jeno!” you squealed jumping up and down
- he cheeks turned a hot pink quickly, thinking you were talking about the kiss
- “i honestly didn’t think you LIKE liked me haha” he held wrapped both arms around you tightly and kept walking
- “wait what? i meant they looked so jealous watching us! you acted really well” you gently pushed his arm off your shoulder
- “listen i started talking to y/ex/n again over the past few weeks and they’ve changed so much over the summer. i didn’t tell you bc i didn’t know if they were being sincere but tonight proved they still have feelings for me”
- “you kissed me - you told me you liked me as more than a friend” he said, his self confidence slowly deteriorating
- “i … never said i liked you as more than a friend. i had to kiss you, they were look- why are you getting upset?”
- jeno ignored his heartache and frowned
- “is that why you wanted me to come out with you tonight? is that why you were being so touchy? so they’d get jealous?”
- “jeno are you really getting upset over this? you’re my best friend, i couldn’t have done it without yo-“
- “you’re not supposed to kiss your friends if you don’t mean it! i thought-i thought you really liked me”
- your eyes slightly widened
- “just save it. i should’ve known you only saw me as a shoulder to cry on - you didn’t even consider my feelings when you were acting up for that guy.”
- he left you at your doorstep and walked home without saying goodnight, ignoring your calls and texts for the remainder of the summer
- im sorry j , i miss you x
