Chapter 4: Odd Behavior

Start from the beginning
                                    

Chenle got closer to you and immediately started to hug you tightly against him. He caressed your hair while trying to make you feel better.

-Remember that everyone suffers differently, and maybe Jaemin doesn't know how to manage his emotions. – Chenle guessed while talking sweetly. -But don't feel upset, okay? You need to smile and be the brightest one like always. Narae, you don't have to become sad because of Jaemin and how he might behave with you. – He spoke while getting away from you, and then Chenle wiped away your tears.

You didn't reply and kept on breathing fast, but with Chenle's touch, you slowly began to control yourself. He removed the last tears from your eyes before smiling at you.

-The design you made is pretty good, and I'm sure that Jaemin will be proud of it. – Chenle cheered while caressing your hair. -And if he isn't grateful for your work, the rest of the team has your back. – He assured, making you slightly grin.

-Thank you; that means a lot. – You sincerely said before hugging him.

Both stayed like that for some moments until you got comfortable under his embrace. You sat on Chenle's lap as he was holding you like a small baby; he kept caressing your hair while keeping you close to him.

-You know, we should go out. – Chenle suggested.

-Hmm, where? – You asked while playing with his hand.

-The guys wanted to go out to Jeno's house. Do you want to come with me? – Chenle asked, looking at you with puppy eyes.

-I know Jaemin will be there, but with those eyes, I can't say no. – You slightly chuckled, making Chenle smile brightly.

-Thank you! – He hugged you. -We should get ready later; maybe we could match our clothes. – Chenle suggested, becoming excited about the small reunion.

You laughed before patting his head. -Alright. I'll do as you wish. – You assured before Chenle held your cheeks.

-You are the best friend ever. – Chenle said while holding you tightly.

-Am I? I'll go with you because I know this is your way of cheering me up. – You spoke while looking at Chenle.

-You are coming even though Jaemin is there, and I love to be with you. So, that makes you the best. – Chenle told you before chuckling softly.

You rolled your eyes before both stared at one another; Chenle is smiling brightly, and that makes you feel better. You caressed his hair before he started to laugh slightly with you; after all, both are looking like one little couple right now.


*Afternoon*

You got dressed and ready with Chenle before coming to Jeno's house. Everybody got excited when they saw you there; after all, you don't usually go out with them as much as you should, and your friends were pleasantly surprised by the clothes combination. Chenle is wearing an army green top under a leather jacket with some black jeans and boots of the same color. You are using the same tones, but your jacket it's the green part of your outfit while the rest is black.

In the beginning, you noticed that Jaemin was there, but your friends made the time with them easygoing. The meeting began with some chitchat about the rumors around the company, and then everybody agreed on watching a movie. And so far, Chenle has been with you.


*Current time*

You can't deny that you are acting way too clingy with Chenle, but at the same time, both of you don't care about the closeness at all. Your friendship with Chenle is almost like with the rest of the guys, but he's the one that knows more secrets than the rest; after all, he's like your confidant.

Right now, you are under Chenle's embrace. Both are looking at the action movie very closely, but some stares were making you get distracted from time to time. Jaemin is glancing at you very often, which makes you believe that he wants to talk with you.

-Is he bothering you? – Chenle asked as a whisper.

-What? – You looked back at him, confused.

You realized that Chenle noticed that Jaemin was glancing at you for quite some time, but you didn't say anything because you thought it wasn't necessary.

-Rae, is Jaemin bothering you with his stares? – Chenle questioned again, before eyeing his friend.

-I believe he wants to talk with me, but I don't know if I need that. – You told Chenle, trying to keep your volume low.

-You can go. It'll be better if you say some words to one another; the day will continue, and we promised to stay the night. – Chenle suggested while caressing your chin.

-Alright. – You nodded before Chenle patted your head.

You looked back at Jaemin but noticed that he clenched his jaw before standing up from the couch. Immediately, he got towards the kitchen, but Jaemin's reaction made you feel concerned.

Jaemin did the same thing when he saw me holding Jeno's hand. Is it me, or does it bother him?
