Both were furious at the con artist. But also defeated, since their first love was not a good experience. They returned home feeling soulless.

Renjun was having drama marathon to get himself occupied. Jeno slowly sat beside him, “Hey, Jun, you are not mad at me for liking Jaemin right? I…I mean, if I knew you liked him, I would have backed down.”

The moomin lover boy was puzzled. “What are you even talking about? Why should I get angry with you while that stupid Nana is the one at fault. And I would have retreated if I knew your love for Nana.”

Jeno showed his prettiest eye smile to Jaemin, occupying his seat beside him.

Jaemin returned the smile which took breathe out of Jeno’s lungs. He would be little sad if he accepted Renjun’s proposal instead of his but will back out, after all friendship is forever.

“I am so sorry, I could not come at the park last time. I got some emergency call.”

“No worries. I was worried something happened, you had not received any calls either, but seeing you all fine now, I am gla
