Listen to the song :)


Jaemin can't believe he's actually doing this.

No, it is not about taking Jeno to another date. He's kind of grown used to it by now.

But rather, it is about enjoying it.

Specifically, enjoying his time with Jeno.

It's so... Weird.

How he's becoming less and less whiny about it. He isn't spitting out complaints as much as he used to.

But his peers didn't really took serious note about it, they just thought Jaemin decided to finally shut up about this damn assignment and let it happen.

He of course, agreed to slightly disagree. I mean, they aren't exactly far off.

He has decided to keep his words to himself nowadays and just do the damn job as a mafia member.

Besides, Mark wasn't so quiet either. Apart from his "weird dreams" reports, he does not hesitate to tell Jaemin to shut up and stop overreacting things.

"Beggars can't be Choosers, Jaemin."

"Just accept the fact that it is Jeno who had volunteered, willingly may I add. We have a key without putting much work into getting it. Don't throw it away."

But there's something else there. Within spending time with Jeno, there's a particular reason as to why.

He just doesn't know what.

Yet here he is, attempting desperately to not smile so widely or even show his true emotions that he would consider later on as a burden.

Jeno has finished his blue lemonade and is currently munching on a munchkin donut, giggling at something he had said.

Not minding if Jaemin was actually paying attention or not.

But unbeknownst to him, Jaemin is in fact giving him his full attention.

He's been eyeing the younger boy for a while now, ever since he has already finished his sandwich and is currently full, he initially waited for Jeno to finish as well.

But a few minutes later, he hasn't teared his eyes away from the smiling boy, who has ate almost everything by now.

Either he really likes what Jaemin prepared or he just felt bad and didn't want to waste anything.

Nonetheless, he finished his- what Jaemin guesses- fourth munchkin donut with a smile on his face.

"The weather is really nice out today, isn't it, Jaemin hyung?" Softly spoken to, Jaemin felt something weird to which he brushes it off as always.

Nodding in agreement, Jaemin glances over the field and takes a moment to exhale. He can't deny how nice the weather is today like Jeno had said.

It has been cloudy most of the time these days, sometimes rain falls and disappears in a quick and unpredictable manner.

When Jaemin turns back to look at Jeno again, he couldn't believe he just froze like that.

It was so simple and ridiculous.

Jeno has his eyes closed as the wind brushes his skin once it passes by, kissing him softly that brings a small yet sweet smile on his face.

As cheesy as it sounds, it does look like a scene was from a dumb and cliché movie Jaemin has watched a few times whenever he's bored.

But this one is real. He isn't just looking at it from a laptop screen, but witnessing it right there.

He's literally sitting beside Jeno, staring at him as if.... As if...

Oh shit, Jaemin don't think about that!

Suddenly, he snaps out of his thoughts when Jeno opens his eyes, lashes fluttering softly as he turns to meet Jaemin's gaze, completely oblivious.

"Do you want to take a nap, hyung?" He asks, having Jaemin quirk a brow at him in return.

"Why would I take a nap?"

"I mean, you prepared all of this from early in the morning, alone may I add. So I just assumed you were tired, 's all..." Jeno mumbles at the end.

And it hits Jaemin like a rock. He is tired. He had been yawning silently while Jeno wasn't looking, or at least he thought he wasn't.

Having to help Yuta with some stuff last night and woke up early for this date, Jaemin didn't really get some rest.

Not to mention this week has been hell.

"You should take a nap," Jeno breaks his thoughts again when he was taking a while to respond.

"We're on a date." Jaemin flatly points out, giving him a look to which Jeno pouts in return.

It pulls something in Jaemin's heart. He doesn't know if he likes it or not.

Why the fuck would I even like it? He's pouting, he looks stupid.

"Just because we're on a date doesn't mean you can't take a rest, hyung." Jeno says matter-of-a-factly.

"And it's not like I'm actually forbidding you, if you're tired, you should take a break. Why would I stop you from that?" Wholeheartedly speaking with eyes staring intently at Jaemin's.

The ravenette boy bites his inner cheek as he watches Jeno change his position on their picnic blanket, shuffling closer and suddenly lays down.

Patting the two pillows that were merged together, he smiles looking up at Jaemin.

"If it makes you feel better, I'll sleep with you too so you won't feel lonely and all."

Ah, so Jeno thinks Jaemin is concerned if he's being stared at the whole time he's unconscious.

Please, that has happened a bunch if times now whenever he's knocked out from injuries. Donghyuck stays with him so he could be the first one to bother his friend when he wakes up.

Basically, Jaemin doesn't care about that.

But before he could start complaining in his thoughts again, Jeno lays down and pats the vacant spot beside him. "Come on, hyung, this is the perfect time to have a nap."

Jaemin lets his body fall down to lay beside his supposed fiancé, the younger boy giggling as he turns to his side so he can look at Jaemin properly.

"I'll wake you up, don't worry." He smiles as he closes his eyes.

Jaemin thinks he's gone mad. Because there is no way he just thought Jeno is so pretty.

Even like this, sleeping beside him as his hand was near Jaemin's own. He carefully turns to his side as well to face the younger boy.

Looking down, he watches as Jeno inches his fingers closer until he brushes against Jaemin's hand, hooking their pinkies together like a promise.

Before Jaemin knows it, he closes his eyes and falls into deep slumber. Not having the time to complain or say anything about it at all.
