renmin (renjun & jaemin, nct dream)
fluff

"THEY DON'T BELIEVE me," renjun whined, shortly after having let out a sigh. he was sitting down on his desk chair, head hanging from the top of the chair. his neck felt uncomfortable, but that was not his biggest concern at the moment. jaemin, who was sat on renjun's bed, let out a small giggle at his boyfriend's antics.

"baby, it's not my fault i'm so beautiful and nice," jaemin answered, laughing even harder when renjun threw a cushion in his direction. "literally shut up, jaemin." renjun's back was facing him, but jaemin could tell the older was rolling his eyes. "this is serious," he whined out, dragging the syllables of the last word.

"junnie, i can go to your friends directly and talk to them, you know this," jaemin responded, changing into a softer tone. he got up from his place on his boyfriend's bed, walking towards the latter who was now properly sitting facing him. the pair made eye contact and jaemin sent renjun a soft smile, encouragement taking over all of it. he cheered internally when he saw the crooks of renjun's mouth go up a slight bit.

"i know...but they're the ones being stupid. they literally don't believe we're dating, that's on them," renjun answered, looking down towards his hardwood floors. from where jaemin was standing, he could see a small pout forming on his boyfriend's face. he had half the heart to laugh at how cute renjun was being, but he knew it wouldn't help the situation they were currently in.

"yeah, you're right," he finally decided to answer that way, his hand finding his boyfriend's. he softly played with one of the rings on renjun's right index finger, twisting it around. the older of the two let out a soft hum, deciding he wanted to spend some time quietly with jaemin. "we can talk more about this later, i want to spend some time with you," renjun quietly said, breaking apart the silence and looking up at the younger. jaemin softly hummed as an answer, taking renjun's other hand and helping him up from his chair.

"what do you want to do? watch a movie?" jaemin suggested, taking away some stray hair strands that had made their way onto renjun's face. smiling softly, he answered, "i don't mind...we can find something random." the couple made their way to the living room of renjun's apartment and settled on the couch. they spent their night together watching a selection of different movies, varying in genres. it ended up with jaemin falling asleep during their fourth one, his head tucked into renjun's shoulder.

...

a couple days later, renjun was at his apartment along with his two close friends, donghyuck and chenle. they decided to have a sleepover, seeing as it was harder for them to spend time together lately because of their packed schedules.

"i literally missed you guys so much, oh my god," donghyuck exclaimed, getting comfortable on renjun's living room couch. he sat at the farthest left, with renjun in the middle and chenle at the right. "seriously, what they hell is up with our schedules. i swear i haven't properly seen you guys in like, months," chenle chimed in, rolling his eyes. renjun softly hummed, only half paying attention to their conversation.

the silence that followed was cut shortly after by a phone ringing. renjun recognized it as the ringtone he had set for his mother's number. "hey, that's my mom, can you answer it and put it on speaker?" he asked donghyuck, seeing as his phone was set on the small table next to the left side of his couch. "sure."
he answered the call and put it on speaker as he moved it to the central table that was situated in front on the couch.

"renjun, sweatheart, how are you?" his mother asked, nearly a second after donghyuck had answered it. "i'm doing pretty well, mom. uni's been kicking my ass, and my schedule's crazy, but it's settling down a bit," he answered, absentmindedly fiddling with the ring placed on his index. "i'm sorry to hear that, jun," she answered and he could hear the sincerity in her voice. "when you get less busy, would you like to come visit?"

"yeah, sure. i could go visit you," he quietly answered, suddenly feeling homesick. he hadn't been able to visit home in a couple months, and it felt really bad not being able to see his family. "why don't you also bring your boyfriend with you? i haven't seen jaemin in ages," she continued, and just about then, renjun's heart stopped. he sort of wanted to tell his friends himself, but they might believe it more if they hear it from his own mother.

from his peripheral, renjun could see both chenle and donghyuck's eyes widening, as well as them listening to their conversation more attentively. "sure, mom. i'll bring jaemin, i'm sure he would love to see you again. you know, he always talks about how much he misses your cooking," renjun rambled on, adding the last part just for the sake that his friends were listening. although, he was telling the truth, he had planned to tell her once he was actually face to face with his mother.

"you really got the sweetest boyfriend ever renjun, he's amazing for you," his mother replied, her tone changing into an extremely soft one. renjun would have normally been embarrassed, but because of the current circumstances, he internally smiled and laughed. "i know," he spoke softly, matching her tone. "alright! you can just let me know when your schedule opens up again, and we can go from there. i look forward to seeing you, renjun!" she finished, cheering happily in excitement. "okay, mom. i'll let you know," he said, chuckling because of the way she was acting.

they bid farewell to each other, and when renjun hung up the phone, both of this best friends turned to him. donghyuck practically jumped off the couch to stand in front of him while chenle was repeatedly slapping his forearm. "what the fuck?! you're actually dating jaemin, what the hell," chenle exclaimed, not yet done with hitting his best friend. renjun kept wincing, finally trapping chenle's hand and taking it away from his arm. "yeah, what the fuck?!" donghyuck followed, looking at renjun through skeptical eyes.

"yes, i'm actually dating jaemin. what in the absolute hell is wrong with the both of you? i've been telling you guys this for months on end, and you never believed me. i should be so mad at the both of you right now, what the absolute fuck," renjun answered, angrily looked back and forth from his two friends who basically had him cornered. "we're sorry for not believing you, it's just that you've never had a boyfriend before, and you used to say how you'd never want one," chenle explained, trying his best to have a supportive tone in his voice as to not anger his friend.

"chenle's right, and this just came out of nowhere, too...jaemin's a really touchy person, and he interacted the same way with you as he did with other people, so we didn't notice a difference. we're sorry," donghyuck said, adding into the conversation. renjun could tell his friends both genuinely felt guilty, so he smiled softly. "it's okay guys, it's cleared up now. at least now it's out in the open."

after having talked a bit more about the situation, chenle and donghyuck desperately asked renjun to talk about how they got together. so, instead of watching movies and playing games like they originally intended to, the three best friends spent the night discussing about jaemin and how their relationship came to be.

...

"i'm so tired, i swear i'm gonna drop any minute. renjun, you'll catch me if i fall, right?" yangyang spoke as he sat himself down next to said male in their university's cafeteria. "no, because i'm so tired that we'll both fall, and then we'll end up with sore backs. so no, i won't catch you. fall onto hyuck," he answered, fork messing around with some peices of pasta in his bowl. "ugh, my heart. do you hear that? it just got crushed," yangyang dramatically answered, setting his books down on a spot on the bench he was on.

just as renjun was rolling his eyes, he felt someone slip into the spot on his left. a hand made its way into his hair right as a kiss was placed on his forehead. he turned towards that direction and made eye contact with jaemin, who sent him a soft smile. "you guys are hilarious," he said, eyes drifting to yangyang who was also cracking up.

"how was class?" he then turned back to renjun, asking him the question quietly so only he could hear. "it was okay, but honestly any class with mr. park is bound to make me fall asleep," renjun tiredly answered, his cheek falling onto jaemin's shoulder. the latter softly laughed, hands running through renjun's blonde hair. this was a sight the rest of their table got used to, now that they officially knew renjun and jaemin were together. so, the conversation carried on and donghyuck and chenle briefly looked at the couple seated near them, smiles on their faces.
