meeting: jenjaemseo (1)

A/N: Since some of yall want this to happen after my failed jenjaemseo agenda (2022 farah)

Jeno always thought he was jealous of Jaemin flirting with Minseo because he didn't want to share his Minseo with anyone.

But how does that explain the ache in his heart whenever Jaemin smile at Minseo and the odd warmth in his heart everytime he sees Jaemin and Minseo giggling at how cute he is? It doesn't make sense. He's not supposed to feel endeared by Jaemin's shenanigans or feel slightly disappointed when he's not around.

Jeno stared off into space, zoning out with a nervous and worried Minseo by his side. "Pup? Are you okay?" Jeno turned towards her with a small smile before resting his head on her shoulder. She would forever be her comfort place. Well along with a certain Na Jaemin.

"If anything I think I should be asking you that. Why so fidgety?" Minseo let out a nervous giggle, gripping her shirt slightly. There was a moment of silence before she spoke up. "I'm really sorry Jeno."

Jeno's heart dropped at her words. It can't be right? They were doing fine. "Why are you saying sorry?" Sniffles could be heard from the girl before she engulf him into a hug. Confused and scared, he returns the hug after a while, wondering what is happening. "I-I'm sorry for not being a good girlfriend."

The male furrowed his eyebrows at her words. "Who said that to you? You're amazing and make me feel loved." Minseo shook her head, her eyes teary once again. "No one did. I just feel like that because...." She trailed off, hesitating to continue.

"Because?" Jeno asked encouragingly. ".....I think I also like Jaemin." It was like water was suddenly splash on him as an odd wave of relief hit him. Jeno could not grasp why he felt that nor why he was so calm after hearing that.

Confused with his own feelings, he could only stare at her blankly. A whirl of emotions was brewing within him, yet none of it was sadness nor disappointment while Minseo silently gnaw her bottom lip, growing anxious at every passing moment.

Eventually Jeno wraps his arms around her waist pulling her closer into his embrace as he rubs her back gently, soothing her nerves. "Hey I'm not mad okay?" He turns to face Minseo, a gentle smile on his lips as his fingers wipes the tears from her eyes gently. Minseo rests her head on his shoulder, basking in his warmth as she manages a small smile back to him, gripping his shirt slightly while sniffling softly.

"Are you sure?" Minseo mumbles, nuzzling her nose against his neck as she glances up to meet his gaze, wondering how could he accept her statement so easily. She is not naive to not know this could be a deal breaker for their relationship, and the last thing she want is to lose him.

"Very." Was all Jeno could muster as he presses a tender kiss on her forehead, something he always do to calm her down. He is not sure either why he is not angry when he should be, as he tries to navigate his own feelings. "It's just, I'm not sure what I feel either but I know for sure I am not mad at you."

Minseo nods, tracing patterns on his arm as she stares at him, seemingly trying to decipher what he is feeling from his facial expression to which Jeno lets out a soft chuckle. "You can't just tell what I feel right now just from what I express choco."

"Who knows maybe I can." She argues back, which somehow sounds like an excuse for her to stare at his well sculpted face longer than usual (which is not totally wrong). Minseo squints her eyes as she gazes at his face. "You're feeling confused right?" Minseo points an accusing finger at him, as Jeno suppress a laughter from erupting, nodding at her question.

"Okay when you imagine me and Jaemin what do you feel?" Jeno felt like this is one of those sessions with a therapist but he went with it, ponderung at her question. "Heartwarming? Like both of you mean the world to me." Minseo nods slightly, tapping her finger against her chin as she racks her brain.

"I apologize if this sounds insensitive but what do you feel if you see...me and Jaemin...kiss?" Minseo winced at her own question, almost sure he would finally explode with rage. Jeno paused for a moment before suprisingly he flushed, clearing his throat as he stammers.

"Uh...uhmmm hmmm somehow the thought of you and Jaemin kissing...sounds hot?" Jeno was even more confused at his own thoughts, as Minseo stares at him, dumbfounded at the somewhat absurd answer before a grin spread on her lips, her eyes lighting up as she giggles which made Jeno to turn at her with furrowed brows as he covers his face. "Its not funny I'm more confused now."

"No no! I am not laughing at you!" Minseo continues to giggle as she whispers to his ear. "Have you ever thought of the chances that you might like Jaemin too?"

Jeno's frown deepened, finding the question ridiculous. "What there is no way I never.." His words trailed off as he remembers the pang in his heart everytime Jaemin mentions of having a crush on a girl,the times he turns away everytime Jaemin flirted with any cute stranger, and the way he felt warmth in his heart whenever the three of them spent time together.

Jeno covers his mouth, his eyes widening as realization hits him hard like the time Mark hit him with a pan on his head. "So you're saying that..." Minseo nods, a smile on her lips as she tightens her arms around him.

"Seems like we both like a certain Na Jaemin."

Jeno was still trying to process all his thoughts when he remembered something. "Wait....you said you also like Jaemin...what do ypu mean by that?" Minseo scratches her head, a sheepish smile visible as she looks away to avoid his eyes.

"Well....umm Jaemin might or might not had confessed to me." Minseo silently panics when Jeno froze at her words. "We weren't doing anything weird when it happened! He was just talking to me when he confessed and I kinda said I need time so that's why I'm telling you all this-"

"Did he said anything about liking me too?" Jeno mutters softly, his eyes downcasted as he looks clearly dejected which caused Minseo to panic even more. "Well he didnt say anything so I'm not sur- Jeno don't sulk!" Minseo pulls him to bury his head onto her shoulder, stroking his head as Jeno whines softly about his attraction to Jaemin being one sided.

"You wouldn't know if you don't ask-"

"How am I supposed to ask something like that?"

"We'll find a way." Minseo reassures, laughing softly at him sulking before her phone buzzed, causing both of their attentions to shift as she opens the message.

"Well seems you gotta face him pup it's our weekly hangout with the others." Hani mutters, earning a whine from him.

"You'll do just fine."

(^人^)

Something feels off with Jeno.

Jaemin can sense it, from the way the older avoids him everytime Jaemin tries to talk to him, with excuse to the bathroom for the tenth time now as he glances at Minseo, as she flashes a sheepish smile before going back to conversing with Ara.

Confused was an understatement for what Jaemin felt at the moment. He was flabbergasted and slightly hurt, as he tries to remember what did he even do for Jeno to avoid him like this.

Eventually he decided to confront Jeno, following behind when he tries to go to the kitchen before wrapping his hand around Jeno's wrist, his eyes boring into his alarmed friend. "We need to talk."

Jeno averted his gaze, chuckling nervously before he rambles."Uh what do you mean? Do you mean about the next brand we will be modelling for? Yeah I'm sure you would do great-" He was cut short when his eyes met Jaemin, his breath hitching when he saw the ravenette stares into his eyes with a soft gaze, looking slightly hurt.

"You never avoid me like this you usually talk to me when you felt bothered by something I do." Jaemin mutters, gazing at Jeno who runs his fingers through his freshly dyed white hair. "What did I do for you to act like this?"

Jeno smiles slightly before sighing heavily, glancing at Minseo who just entered the kitchen. "Should I?" Minseo just nodded in return, as she seems to understand what he was implying while Jaemin watches their interaction incredulously, frustation bubbling within him as he felt he was left out from a conversation about him.

"What are you two-"

"We like you." Jaemin froze in his spot, his eyes widening as he took a step back. "W-what?" He manages to let out, as he grips his hair, almost convince he misheard that when Jeno says it again.

"We both like you, me and Minseo." He utters, wrapping an arm around Minseo's waist as he smiles at Jaemin softly. "I talked to her today and I kind of reach the realization and conclusion that I might have like you for a while." Jeno trails off, feeling flustered as Minseo continues in his stead.

"Well we get if this is too overwhelming and too sudden so just think this as us taking this off our chest. You don't need to pressure yourself if you don't want to okay?" Her gaze softened when it meets his, as Jaemin could feel warmth when its with them. Only with them. And maybe he should try what it feels like to be a part of them.

"Well..." He hesitates, before taking a step forward, his usual breathtaking smile back on his lips as he nods. "Maybe...I can actually give us a try." He took another step to them before engulfing the surprised couple into a hug, as laugh erupts from the three of them eventually.

'Being with them is warm feeling.' Jaemin thought, as he felt himself pulled closer into their embrace. 'Its like coming back home.'
