jeno stayed glued on his spot for a few minutes, spinning the white feather between his fingers.

what had just happened?

he was more than happy that jaemin had kissed him, hell, if that meant he was the one jaemin liked, he was more than happy!

but something seemed off.

why had jaemin left crying, apologizing for leaving jeno and renjun?

and why had he those wings glued to his back?

jeno would have noticed them if jaemin had entered the room with them, but it seems like they appeared just after the kiss... what did that mean?

jeno wanted answers, and he would do anything to have them.

at the moment, the best thing to do seemed to be – as much as he hated the idea – going to renjun's and asking him about what happened.

jeno put the feather in his pocket before picking a random hoodie and going to the kitchen.

"ma, i'm sorry, i need to go to renjun's. it's an emergency." he told, putting the hoodie on.

"what? is everything okay?" she asked with concern.

"i... i don't know..."

"do you need me to drive you there?" she asked.

"no, i'll run, don't worry."

"okay. call me if you need anything. be careful jen." she smiled, kissing her son's cheek – because she couldn't reach higher – and watching him dart away in the next seconds.

jeno ran as fast as he could across the badly-lightened streets, stopping a few times to make sure he was on the right path.

ten minutes later, he was knocking on renjun's door, out of breath.

he had to knock three times before renjun opened the door, and when he did, it was not a so beautiful sight to see.

renjun had his eyes all puffy, and his nose red showing that he had spent the last hour crying his heart out.

"what's with everybody crying tonight?" jeno asked unintentionally.

"are you here to piss me off? because if you are just leave me alone." renjun said, sniffling a few times.

"no, sorry..." jeno lowered his head. "i wanted to ask you some things about jaemin..."

and as if this only word could cause a disaster, renjun started sobbing again, falling on his knees.

"hey, renjun." jeno panicked. "come on, stand up."

"no!" renjun yelled. "i'll stay on the floor until i die! no one will care anyway!" he added before going back to sobbing.

as much as jeno and renjun weren't in so good terms at the moment, jeno couldn't help but feel his heart clench at the sight of renjun sobbing on the floor. yes, he cared.

"come here." jeno said, bending over to help renjun standing up again.

"NO!" renjun exclaimed, but it didn't scare jeno off.

the korean male grabbed renjun's small body instead, and lifted it with no effort, carrying him like a baby.

renjun took this opportunity to wrap his legs around the boy's waist and his arms around his neck to sob on his shoulder. no matter what their relationship at the moment was, jeno's body radiated comfort and calm.

jeno closed the front door with his foot and walked to the couch, caressing renjun's back in a comforting manner. he sat on the couch with renjun on his lap, straddling him.

"what got you in such a state?" he asked.

"j-jaemin..." renjun continued crying hard; jeno could feel the tears passing through the fabric of his clothes.

"what's with jaemin?"

"h-he... i kissed him. and he actually responded to the kiss... but then..." he couldn't finish his sentence because of his cries.

jeno's heart sunk into his chest.

renjun had kissed jaemin? and jaemin had kissed back?

but why would he go to jeno's house and kiss him as well then?

nothing made sense.

"then what?" jeno asked, involuntarily harshly, but he was too jealous to control his sayings.

renjun didn't respond, he kept sobbing.

"renjun. look at me." jeno pulled the boy so that they could face each other. he wiped his tears, melting at the sight. renjun was one beautiful being... "stop crying, please. it saddens me." he told sincerely.

renjun nodded, trying to calm his cries.

"tell me what happened next." jeno spoke once renjun had calmed down.

"he told me to forget him." renjun said, his bottom lip quivering. "and then he disappeared."

jeno nodded, caressing renjun's waist with his thumbs.

"he came to my house after." he told, making renjun widen his eyes.

"w-what?"

"he was weird. i could see he had cried. and then, out of nowhere, he kissed me."

renjun's body stiffened, having the same incomprehension as jeno a few minutes before.

"and after the kiss, he left, apologizing for leaving you and i." jeno finished, looking into renjun's eyes.

however, his attention was brought to renjun's bottom lip which was quivering a lot more than before.

"hey." he said in a low voice, placing a finger on renjun's lip to stop it from moving. "don't cry."

but when he pronounced these words, tears were already falling like a cascade on the chines's pale cheeks, and jeno's fingers weren't enough to wipe them all.

"let me get you a tissue." jeno said, lifting renjun a bit to fish a tissue in his pocket. but when he did that, not only did he pull a tissue, but he also pulled out a white feather...

"where did you find that?" renjun asked, his voice breaking in the middle of the sentence.

jeno sighed, taking the soft feather between his fingers. "you would never believe me..."

"j-jaemin." renjun whispered.

"what?"

"y-you found it on jaemin." renjun clarified, not articulating much because of the many emotions fighting in his body.

"how do you know?" jeno asked, looking at the boy in the eye.

"after i kissed him... he... he had those two huge and fluffy white things... they looked so much like- "

"wings." jeno finished renjun's sentence. "he had them after kissing me as well..."

"b-but..." renjun sniffled. "what does that mean?" he asked, leaning on jeno's body again.

jeno sighed, wrapping an arm around renjun, and twirling the feather in his other hand.

"as impossible as it seems, i think jaemin is an angel..."

"an angel?" renjun questioned, crying again.

"he has the looks, he has the personality, he has the innocence... and we both saw he had the wings..." jeno told.

"a-and... w-where could he be now?"

jeno looked at the sky through the window, a tear falling from his eye.

"probably above the clouds..."
