hugging the student real tight with a chuckle, the woman was really glad to have seen both her son and yangyang still going strong even when he's busy in taking over the company that has been handed down to him by his father. everyone in the family had actually grown fond towards the student every since hendery had introduced him to them on their first monthsary. not only was his personality adorable and admirable, but they also loved the student's will to graduate and to be able to find a way in life after.

he wasn't just after hendery's money, and neither was he even using him in any type of way to get somewhere in his life. in fact, even being in a relationship with a ceo, yangyang preferred to be simple. it's just hendery insisting to spoil him much.

the woman, who had an unexpected visit, then pulled away from the warm embrace and had her eyes trailing to someone unfamiliar in her eyes. however, that smile on her face still remained as she didn't want to look rude. ❝and, who might you be?❞

her attention towards the secretary didn't last long when she noticed how her son slowly and gently placed a kid down on the ground. the woman now had her forehead creasing and brows meeting at how the situation was confusing her. she saw how the boy ran behind the stranger's legs and hid there, not bothering to look up at her and introduce himself. lifting her eyes up at her son who still looked surprised, she demanded an explanation with just that smile plastered on her face.

it took the student to nudge him before hendery caught a grip of himself. ❝mom, this is eleven.❞

yangyang could feel himself sweating, somehow guilty for naming the child out of his jealousy. but he had to take responsibility because as what the ceo had told him, the child is theirs. grasping the awkward tension between them, he let out a chuckle and carefully took the boy's hand as he guided him to his boyfriend's mother. ❝we adopted him. eleven, greet your grandmama.❞

the woman held back her excitement upon knowing that the two were stepping up their relationship. she then crouched down right in front of the boy and gave him small smile. ❝hey there, i'm your dad's mother.❞

noticing that the boy was moving away from her, the student showed a frown. ❝eleven, what did i tell you about respecting elders?❞

the youngest of them had his eyes widened when the boy forced to take his hand away from his hold and went running towards the secretary that stayed silent for the whole time, hiding behind his legs while had a small part of his face peeking to the side.

❝scary.❞ both yangyang and hendery heard what the boy said, turning to the woman in hopes that she didn't hear it.

even if she did, the mother didn't seem to be affected by it and just stood back up with a laugh. the ceo then heaved out a sigh and took the boy that's hiding behind his secretary, carrying him up and making him bury his head down on his shoulder.

❝i'm sorry, he does not really open up to people he doesn't know that quick.❞ hendery explained, patting the boy's back to comfort him.

❝he's like you when you were young.❞ the mother eased the tension between them with chuckle. but hearing the man's description about the kid made her wonder who this other guy is and why he looked comfortable hiding behind him. ❝and you are?❞

the student bit his bottom lip as he turned to check on the secretary who was visibly nervous. he could see how he was fumbling his fingers and how his lips were parted but not a word came out. he could see how hendery's mother was trying to sound nice, but it must be the pressure that got him to act that way.

fortunately for him, yangyang is there to the rescue. ❝he's xiao dejun.❞

he still had so much description to say about the secretary but the mother had already cut the student of with a loud clap and eyes glinting with excitement. ❝oh, you must be their friend!❞

the name made her think deeply and remember where she had read it. until a minute after, she recalled checking up on the company's files and saw the man's information in it, being the ceo's secretary. of course she was aware that he had no background experiences, but she didn't want to bring that up thinking that it might be too insensitive for her to do so.

though, she didn't expect for him to be this close towards her son and his boyfriend. ❝how about all of you come inside? i have prepared a meal for you.❞

hendery got inside first and had made an attempt to clear things up with his mother. ❝mom, he's—❞

❝come on, i also need to catch up on what's happening to my son!❞ but she had to beat him to it with a lot of things to say and even guided her own son the the kitchen. ❝we have just been away for a while and now, you and yangyang finally adopted a kid.❞

and that was enough to keep the ceo distracted. ❝well, he's someone important to us.❞

the woman puffed her cheeks, looking like she was sulking at how he is keeping this away from her. ❝and you didn't even bother telling me about it? i could have already set up a date for your wedding!❞

the sudden subject caused for hendery to pause for a moment. ❝mom, not yet, please.❞

still being left at the front door, yangyang smile at the sight of his boyfriend finally seeing his mother after quite a while. but that smile didn't last long when he noticed the older beside him having his mouth zipped ever since they had opened the door. xiaojun had his head lowered down and eyes getting drowsy, thoughts piling up. he was debating with himself whether he should leave for a while and come back when the ceo's mother isn't here anymore. he didn't want to make the situation more awkward than before. and not to mention, he was hurting.

he didn't know if his chest was clenching at how far the three of them had came and they are now facing it together.

or because he was being called as just a friend and neither of the two decided to even butt in with that.

was he just a friend to them?

xiaojun then flinched when he felt a hand taking his own and intertwining their fingers together. he turned to the side and raised his head up to the younger who's now giving him a reassuring smile. ❝yang..❞

❝don't worry,❞ he moved close and gave him a soft peck on the lips. ❝i'll be with you for the whole ride.❞

❝i'm n-nervous.❞ and he doesn't even know why. he was too engulfed with the happiness and love he had received for the two that he didn't really get the time to think about how they were slowly staking steps up with the beautiful relationship they are having.

yangyang stood right in front of the older and raised his other hand up to cup his cheek, caressing it softly. ❝hey, if you feel uncomfortable, you can squeeze my hand.❞

the secretary could feel his heart beating, both because of the younger's words and also because of what he is facing right now. he even had a plan at the back of his head to run away if things goes wrong and he can't find a way out of it. then, all his worries was blown away when he could feel a pair of soft lips coming in contact with his forehead.

it was yangyang reassuring him. ❝i won't let you go.❞

the meal time he had with ceo's mother isn't that quite nerve-racking as what he expected it to be. awkward silence were made here and there, but the male's mother kept on talking about hendery's past, how he was as a child, and how he grew up. that caused for xiaojun to loosen up and he also got to speak from time to time if he needed to. he can also see how the woman cared for the boy that's silent for the whole hour, trying to engage in a conversation with him and if she gets ignored, she just laughs it off. maybe she isn't that bad after all.

but there is one thing that's still bothering xiaojun even after the ceo's mother had to leave early and see her husband that's taking care of the company while hendery is out.

that gave them a time to take the secretary's things out of the car and in putting his things inside the room, with the help of the ceo. the student is busy taking care of their child and is probably lecturing him about how he should act in front of his, now, relatives. it's yangyang, xiaojun can trust him that he won't scold eleven that bad and he won't even shout at him.

moving in seems to be taking long that even when it's already night, xiaojun hasn't finished unpacking his things yet. right now, he was folding his shirt out of the suitcase where he just dumped it inside and gently went back and forth to the wardrobe that still had lots of space for him.

hendery, that finished helping him with his other things downstairs, was now laid on the bed and can't help but notice how odd the smaller male is acting. ❝is there anything bothering you?❞

did he seriously ask that question? xiaojun held back the urge to scoff and just shook his head. ❝everything is fine.❞

the ceo wasn't really the type to take in the lies even if they are just doing it so he wouldn't worry. ❝dejun.❞

❝kunhang.❞ since he called him his name, xiaojun did the same thing.

instead of forcing the words out of his mouth, hendery just let out a long sigh and flopped his body again down on the king sized bed and waited till his secretary was finished with his clothes. however, waiting seems like time is teasing him. after his mother left, the three of them took a warm bath and wore their clothes to get comfortable in helping xiaojun in moving his things inside the house. their eleven boy even helped in carrying the boxes. he was struggling, but hendery let him be as he did looked determined to help.

what's not adorable right now for him is seeing how his secretary untucked the oversized shirt he is wearing and let it flow down his body, also covering the shorts he is wearing. from the horndog's view, it looked like he isn't wearing anything underneath.

and that mayhaps have switched something on inside him.

❝finished!❞ cleaning looks like it took the negative thoughts away from his mind for a short while.

xiaojun clapped his hands after seeing how all his clothes were put inside the closet before closing it and turning around only to see the ceo putting the suitcase down from taking more space on the bed. the smaller male tilted his head to the side, shrugging the next second and not minding the man's business anymore.

just when he was going to climb on top of the bed and finally get a good rest after a long day, his arm was being yanked by the ceo and that caused for him to stumble down on his lap. the position was uncomfortable for him as he isn't fully sitting down, and when he was about to move away, hendery had took a grip on his hips and glued him down on his lap, having xiaojun to release a yelp.

❝k-kunhang, what a-are you—❞ his next words we muffled out when a pair of lips came in contact with his.

hendery didn't wait for long till he started moving from the kiss they are having. he wrapped his arms around his secretary's small waist and got him to move closer and sit on a spot that's slowly waking up from its slumber. nibbling on to his bottom lip also made xiaojun let out a moan. the smaller male made a bold attempt to slip in his tongue inside the man's warm mouth but it came in contact with the ceo's and had him dominating the kiss once more.

xiaojun didn't have to be told as he already knows a thing or two that could pleasure him more. like grinding on him slowly for example, a grunt was heard coming from the ceo because of his action. pushing his buttons by pressing himself down and feeling the budge that's slowly forming from their heated session.

if it weren't for xiaojun clutching on to the man's shirt real tight and patting his chest to give him a hint, hendery wouldn't even bother pulling away and separate the two of them from kissing. he let the secretary breathe heavily and he, too, is trying to catch for the air he lost during making out.

taking this opportunity, hendery buried his head down on the smaller's shoulder and tightened his embrace around the male's waist. ❝is this because of my mother?❞

lying would only worsen the situation, even though xiaojun wanted to do that right now. maybe he can try to change the subject in the most subtle way, not like he's good at it though. ❝she's nice.❞

❝but you were bothered by how she addressed you as a friend.❞ a hum of content came out from his mouth when his secretary started running his hands over his soft locks.

❝she's not wrong though, am i not?❞ that hurt him a bit but thinking about it, the three of them haven't really made things official yet. also, he wasn't sure if the man's family would accept it if they do show their relationship.

❝baby,❞ hendery moved away from his shoulder and stared at the smaller male on his lap, who's now playing with the hem of his shirt. a smile made its way to his face as he lifted the secretary's chin up just to have their gazes locked. ❝we're more than that, but it wouldn't hurt to wait, right?❞

wait for what, for one of them to make a move? having that thought is making xiaojun nervous back again at the thought of them stepping things up. he didn't know why he was overthinking again, probably because how it'll be his first. his first, and he's getting two. taking a deep breath in, the secretary reassured him with a small nod and a faint smile on his face.

hendery let out a chuckle before pecking his lips. ❝do you want me to tuck you in bed first? i'll wait for yangyang.❞

right, the student is still having a talk and is looking out for their boy. the two of them had checked out on eleven a while ago before getting inside the room that the three of them are sharing. just then, a lot of things went running inside his head and is making him think that things that he already have right now is so complicated. it's as if he's just playing with life, instead of life playing with him. being a secretary at a job that he first had no idea what it is, having a student liking and him having feelings back, already in his ceo's arms and making out with him, and the three of them having a child to take care and be responsible of.

a frown was curved down on hendery's face as he could see the look on the smaller's face. ❝what is it?❞

❝c-can you d-distract me?❞

having wild thoughts may not be appropriate right now, but hendery was having it. although, he might have understood that question wrong and it's just him and needs kicking in. ❝do you want to play mario kart?❞

xiaojun pouted at how the ceo was treated him like a literal baby. ❝no, not that.❞

fuck, his mind is working again and it's not going to be good. it would have been alright if it's his boyfriend with him right now, he already knows the younger's ways and where to limit himself, but it's xiaojun he is with. even though he had lots of imaginations about him, he doesn't know when to stop. hendery might even accidentally hurt him. ❝then what do you want me to do?❞

❝touch me, tease me,❞ xiaojun leaned forward with his forehead touching the man's and hot breath ghosting over the ceo's that having a tight grip on his waist. ❝kiss me, kunhang.❞

inside a room that's at the other end of the hallways, quite far from yangyang's now shared room with the secretary and ceo, the student was already finished reading a bedtime story for their boy that has been dealing a lot for the day. a soft smile was shown on his lips as he could see how eleven was dozing off even when the story hasn't even done reading yet. but because of it, he had already closed the book and gently placed the boy down on his bed that both he and hendery chose one time when they went out for shopping. they had also sent the picture of it to xiaojun to get his approval for the bed they chose.

❝eleven, what did you learn today?❞ yangyang whispered quietly as he brushed the hair that's covering the boy's forehead.

❝that i shouldn't go around calling anyone scary, or any bad words.❞ the boy yawned as he had slurred from his words. he was already sleepy and being put to bed made him want to shutdown and got to his dreamland.

❝i'm not telling you to open up if you're not ready for it, alright?❞ the student uttered out that made the boy nod his head. ❝but if you're uncomfortable, feel free to voice it out in the most polite and nicest way. give me an example for it.❞

❝i'm sorry, but can you please give me more time to adjust?❞ eleven just made that up, not completely remembering what he and the student talk about a while ago.

that was enough. yangyang had his head nodded in approval for it and continued to run his hand over the boy's hair and play with his soft strands.

❝papa, i'm sleepy.❞ forcing to open his eyes up, eleven saw how his parent was chuckling softly.

❝it's alright, papa will be here until you sleep.❞ yangyang told him while patting his head softly. while waiting for him to be asleep, he went to put the book back to its shelf and turning around, he could see how tired the boy really is by just seeing him snoring in his sleep this quick.

yangyang first waited for a good minute before turning the lamp on for a dim light inside the room before taking silent steps towards the door. he took a last glance and shut the door quietly, waddling his way across the hallways and going to another end where it was his shared room with the two important people in his life. this is probably going to be the first time they'll be sleeping together and yangyang was excited at the thought of cuddling.

not even bothering to knock on to the door, the student and slowly pushed it open and he was surprised to see the sight of the ceo in bed together with the secretary.

❝k-kunhang,❞ xiaojun moaned as he used his remaining strength to push the man on top of him, mumbling something and telling him that the person they have been waiting for is already there.

hendery was already a mess, not far from how the secretary is looking like. his hair was disheveled, his lips was almost bruised, and his shirt was already long disregarded on the ground. meanwhile, the only thing that xiaojun had on was probably his shirt and boxers. the ceo groaned and tilted his head to the side and smirked after seeing the student just standing there with cheeks flushed and him biting his bottom lip.

was there a hint of jealousy in his eyes? nope.

that's why hendery had gathered the courage to ask. ❝yang, want to join?❞
