Chenle's parents welcomed the boy warmly, both embracing him in a hug as soon as they appeared in the hallway.

Chenle proceeded to take his luggage upstairs and into the guestroom, leaving the boy to adjust in the new place.

Not that Jaemin wasn't over at Chenle's, but they usually spent their time in Chenle's room. You know, Jaemin used to tutor the younger when he came to Korea.

He used to teach him Korean and helped him with maths and English. Those times already passed tho. It was a long time ago.

Chenle got Jaemin situated in the room, helping him unpack and fold his clothes into the closet.

The two boys were soon called for lunch by Chenle's mother, making them both go without uttering a single word. The younger knew it was better for them to be quiet. He wanted to give Jaemin some space.

The family are quietly, Chenle's parents sometimes uttering something in Chinese. Jaemin was used to this. He was used to quiet dinners, he never got to talk when he was at the table.

Both his mom and dad usually talked about their days and never really asked Jaemin about his day in school, how his friends were or of he ate well.

"How did the exams go, Jaemin-ssi. Chenle mentioned they were harder than he expected." Chenle's mother's voice caught the peach haired off guard, getting him shocked for a minute.

He never really heard the woman talk, she was usually pretty quiet. She usually just welcomed him around or wished him good luck.

"I- I studied a lot so it wasn't really that hard for me..." He confessed, before digging back into the food. The couple noticed the gloom that was written all over Jaemin's face, growing worried for the boy.

"Mom, dad... We'll head back to my room if you excuse us..." Chenle spoke after a while when he noticed the empty plate of Jaemin's.

"Thank you for the dinner." Jaemin bowed, before he helped the woman clean up. Layer, he followed Chenle to his room keeping quiet.

He just wanted to sleep.
