Thank you again from the same person! This is cute :D

⚘

"Jaem, I said 'no' already." Renjun sighs out deeply while walking up the stairs, the elevator today was packed so he can't really use it right now.

Also because he's trying to get atleast a bit more exercise after he saw his vampire friend following him as soon as he enters the building, he just wants to lure the guy in because the younger is usually flying or teleporting around.

"Then you must've changed your answer now, right?" Jaemin grins expectantly.

Renjun blinks at him, "no." He curtly said, fastening his steps while Jaemin uses his super speed to catch up with him.

"So 'not right now' is what you mean."

"Jaemin, I'm not helping you to meet up with Jeno, again. The boy is literally not comfortable with you all up in his personal bubble space. He's a closed-off type." Renjun stated.

Jaemin grunts and crosses his arms to stand right in front of his witch friend once they've arrived at the floor Renjun lives on. "Then help me to be closer with him!" He desperately said.

Rolling his eyes, Renjun shook his head. "He asked me not to have you around when he's around, just– let him be for now." He adds a shrug.

The vampire boy tsks and ends their conversation with a 'fine!' and a loud huff before rushing towards his own apartment.

⚘

Jaemin has a headache today, he stayed up last night to feed himself off. But then the blood he drank was from an alcoholic stranger, now he feels like he's absolutely having a hangover.

Renjun was out having his classes again, so he can't really ask the elder for a healing potion or something of that sort. Not like Renjun would be willing to help anyway.

So right now, he's stomping over towards a bakery to get himself something to eat. He should've went grocery shopping two days ago like what Renjun told him to do, now look where he is.

Opening the door with the bell jingling to let them know someone had entered, Jaemin groans silently when there's still a line he has to wait on.

The bakery was cute and nice, he's not sure on the employees yet because it's sort of new and this is the first time he's went here. Must be why the place is packed right now.

When he finally gets to order, almost wanting to complain audibly when the lady couldn't choose faster and then there's her 5 year old son picking a lot to which results them to have a long talk of discipline before the lady finally orders.

"Hello, welcome to– eek!" The boy lets out a squeak when he looks up from the register and saw who was his next customer, almost stumbling back if it weren't for his co-worker.

Jaemin raised a brow, oblivious on who the boy in the register was since he was already looking at the pastries around so he could order quickly. Unlike someone.

When he does get a glimpse of the boy, who was now hiding behind his co-worker that took over his spot, his face lights up.

"Oh hey, Jeno!" He grins, the said boy's cheeks turned pink until the color reaches to the tip of his ears. Some attention draws towards them since Jaemin had exclaimed his greeting loudly.

Jeno's co-worker fakes a cough behind his fist, raising a brow of his own while looking at Jaemin. "Sorry, but are you ready to order?" He asks.

Jaemin hums and glances at the sets of pastries again, choosing a few cupcakes or so because he's on a budget right now (Renjun still hasn't paid him yet from the bet they had last week) and looks up.

"Is that all? You gonna dine in or take out? Because there's two tables available right now if you gonna eat here." The cashier said, pointing at an empty table nearby.

Jaemin would've said yes, since he's now found out Jeno works here and would love to admire the cute boy who's wearing a purple jumper right now while still hiding behind his co-worker from Jaemin's gaze.

But he has a fucking headache, he wants to go home and munch on his pastries there and can throw up whenever he wants, unlike here, it would've been a disaster.

Especially in front of Jeno's poor eyes.

"Sadly have to take out, dude. Would've liked to stay longer and watch cutie over there working," Jaemin nonchalantly said and sends a wink at Jeno who looks away, but his burning face betrays him.

The cashier laughs and nodded at his words, "seems like our Jeno has an admirer." He teases along.

Jaemin grins widely. Renjun who?

Jeno widens his eyes and pulls his coworker by his shoulder to whisper in his ear, "I barely even know him! And he's–"

"Hey! Can you hurry up! I have kids to feed right now." A vampire man behind Jaemin comments, tapping his foot on the ground impatiently.

The brunet huffs and looks at the cashier, "really would've liked to stay longer if it weren't for my headache." He sighs.

The cashier grins at him as he was packing up Jaemin's orders in a small box, "get well soon, dude. Maybe next time you'll come around, you can have your time with JenJen."

"Shh!" The raven haired boy behind him hissed while gripping onto his sides, "hurry!" He ushers when Jaemin had turned towards him now.

His coworker snorts and did as told, ruffling Jeno's hair afterwards as he hands out Jaemin's order while the latter pays for it. "Don't worry, he's a shy pup."

Jaemin could only reply with a smirk, puckering his lips out with a loud smooch sound as he looks at Jeno. The younger scrunched his nose and smoothens his clothes with his palms before pushing his coworker aside.

"Leave now, go clean the tables." He mumbled while sulking as he waits for the customer to order. His coworker laughs at him again and pinched his cheeks before heading off.
