as they got out of the hospital, jaemin was clinging to both renjun and jeno who were walking right beside him. with arms locked around jeno's arms and fingers intertwining on renjun's, jaemin sure is showing to everyone what's his. and sure thing, he got a lot of looks from people with thoughts of jaemin having two boyfriends weird.

but did you see jaemin care? nope. his focus is on his two boyfriend and that's where he is going to settle his focus, no other else.

❝why did you do that?❞ jeno spoke, glancing down at jaemin who looks so happy like he had won the lottery.

jaemin shrugged and continued to snuggle close to jeno's arm while he tightened his grip onto renjun's hand. ❝i did not do anything.❞

❝jisung called you to help him with his parents' bags,❞ renjun said, looking up at jaemin who's smiling like crazy. ❝yet you made chenle go.❞

❝shh, i get it. you two don't want chenle and jisung to be together.❞ jaemin now frowned, he knew they didn't like jisung for chenle but he couldn't hate them for it. he too wasn't supporting this in the start but jisung had already suffered and jaemin could see how much he wanted to be with chenle and to make the boy happy to the point that he even sacrificed his feelings just for them to be friends at least. ❝but i want it.❞

❝does chenle want it?❞

jaemin then let out a giggle at renjun's obvious question. ❝come on, he wouldn't have zoomed that quick if he doesn't want them to be together.❞

the two then decided to shut their mouths, not wanting to argue with jaemin anymore. it's chenle's and jisung's problem, they shouldn't take part in it. what's theirs is theirs and they should mind their own business. if the three keeps this up then there is a very big possibility that their relationship will get involved and they didn't want that.

they might as well just leave chenle and jisung alone unless they do go to them for help.

❝why are you smiling?❞ jaemin raised a brow and also making jeno look at renjun who is indeed smiling.

the short male widened his smile and just shook his head. ❝i love you two.❞

jeno snorted, ❝is that genuine?❞

the oldest of the three pouted at the smiling angel. ❝when was i not genuine?❞

❝okay, don't fight!❞ it was a good thing that jaemin is standing in between them, he could just easily stop renjun from head locking jeno. he then went to lock their arms together and was squished in between them. ❝i love you two too.❞

and with that, all eyes turned to jeno who stood there being clueless.

❝come on butcher knife.❞

❝say it no eyes.❞

the male sighed and rolled his eyes at jaemin who just called him no eyes. but nonetheless, he gave the two a peck on the lips before walking away first. he was red as tomato and he wanted to leave before those two tease him about it.

❝i love you both!❞ and of course, he didn't forget to say that.

jaemin and renjun looked at each other and then burst out chuckling. they were about to catch up to jeno who's impatiently waiting for them, his fault for walking away first, but jaemin stopped just when renjun ran.

❝where are donghyuck and mark?❞ he questioned, just realizing that the two weren't following them from behind.

renjun turned around and also tried to remember where they are. ❝inside chenle's room, why?❞

❝what are they doing there?❞ when in fact, all of them should be leaving since chenle discharged himself.

now having an idea into why the two made them leave first almost made renjun gag. ❝don't ask me, i don't want to think about it.❞

❝hey, do you think they are fuc—❞

❝let's go eat ice cream!❞ renjun shouted, preventing jaemin from saying what he wanted to say.

🐋

❝what is happening here?❞ the mother stared at the two with both of her hands on her hips.

they were now inside jisung's house and sadly, chenle was dragged there. after hearing something surprising at the airport, jisung's parents just can't shrugged it off. they needed an explanation. which is why they are here right now, standing in front of both boys who's sitting down by the sofa and looking down on the ground as if it's the most interesting sight in the world.

❝no one is going to explain?❞ the mother then let out a scoff but before she could get carried away and say anything more that could possibly hurt the two's feelings, her husband held her hand and squeezed it tight.

he gave her a look and was telling her to keep quiet and just let the two boys speak when the finally have the courage to do so. the mother fortunately got to calm down and took a deep breath to keep herself patient.

while the parents were waiting, both chenle and jisung were finding the right words to say and explain everything that had just happened. just when they thought they are going to have they happy ending, another obstacle just had to show up.

jisung frowned and it went noticeable to chenle who glanced to the side to see how he is doing. were they really not meant to be together? why does it seem like life hates them being together?

❝hey..❞

jisung raised his head and turned to chenle who's giving him a small smile, comforting him with it. and it actually did comfort jisung who's thinking a lot of possibilities once he explains everything to his mother.

❝mrs. park?❞ chenle stood up from the sofa and went to take a bow in front of jisung's parents, staying in that position as he goes to being honest towards the mother. ❝i'm—❞

❝i'm pregnant!❞ jisung raised his hand, standing up next to chenle.

both his parents's jaws dropped upon hearing their son's sudden statement. even chenle wasn't expecting for jisung to say that. what has gotten into him? actually, jisung changed his mind. he didn't want to be honest to his parents, he didn't want for chenle to get hurt. he decided to take everything. after all, he is at fault. he's the reason why it had come to this.

❝and chenle here is—❞ a friend that just wanted to help, that's what jisung wanted to say but chenle just had to cut him off from what he is about to say.

❝i'm the father of the baby!❞ chenle quickly said, now getting the parents' attention.

jisung widened his eyes and glanced at chenle who's giving him a look. they were having a silent conversation with their eyes and seems like all they wanted to do was help each other and save each other's asses. chenle didn't want to just let jisung get all the scoldings and jisung also didn't want chenle to get hurt from his mother's words.

❝hold the fuck up.❞ the father furrowed his brows. ❝my son is pregnant?❞ and he then pointed a finger at chenle who stood there while trying to pull off a straight look. ❝and you are the other father?❞

even the mother was confused. all this time he thought it was jisung who impregnated someone but instead, it was him who was pregnant. it's not like she is against of what's happening to her son, it's just that the pair is weird. chenle looked like he has the motherly figure meanwhile jisung had the fatherly figure that's still about to bloom. ❝isn't this the other way around?❞

❝i apologize mrs. and mr. park!❞ chenle, again, took a bow. ❝i couldn't take it anymore and released inside him.❞

jisung then scoffed at what chenle said. it was like he's trying to hit jisung with what he said. well, it did hit jisung but two can play that game. ❝i was also enjoying the moment and asked him to release inside me!❞

the chinese gasped at what jisung said. honestly, it was true. he knows he was supposed to hate it but a very small, tiny bit, teensy weensy part of him enjoyed that night they did it. ge can't help it, jisung was gentle and he kept on doing things slow that he ended up loving it. ❝well i—❞

❝okay stop this!❞ the mother then raised both of her hands to stop the two from exposing what happened that night, the parents didn't want to know. ❝if i find out that this isn't real, you really are not going to like what i'm going to do.❞

she sounded serious and jisung was scared of it. heaving out a sigh, jisung turned to chenle and gathered the courage to say the truth. ❝mom, i got drunk once and i mayhaps forced chenle into it.❞

they were disappointed. they didn't need to say they were, jisung already saw it from their faces. he could see how his father was holding back the urge to punch him in the face. was it wrong for jisung to think that his father shouldn't hold back and just punch his face? nope. he deserves a punch, a hard one to snap him out from his senses.

but instead, he received a slap.

a slap from his mother.

and a slap from a mother hurts more than a punch from a father.

❝are you the jisung park we raised?❞ she said, looking at jisung who's biting his lips at the stinging pain from his cheeks. ❝how dare you do this?❞

chenle watched in shock when he saw jisung's mother slapping her son. ❝mrs. park i was also—❞

but jisung gripped chenle's hand tight before he speaks out words that can trigger his mom more. this was what's right anyways, he deserves that slap.

❝go to your room and reflect on your mistake.❞ she wanted to land another slap on jisung's cheeks once more but seen that red mark made her feel bad. one slap was enough, he could even see jisung holding back the tears. but that still doesn't change the fact the he had done a big mistake and she's mad about it. ❝go before i change my mind and hit you more.❞

jisung didn't waste any second and sprinted his way to his room, leaving chenle there alone with his parents. chenle was about to follow but the father stopped him from doing so. the chinese then stood there silently, looking down and not knowing what to do.

the mother ran a hand through her hair and went to plop herself down the sofa while rubbing her temples, trying to process everything that had just been said.

❝i'm very sorry for what our son did.❞ the father said, taking a bow as an apology.

chenle then panicked, his hands hesitating whether to stop the father from taking a bow. ❝i-it's okay! i have forgiven him already.❞

the father opened his mouth to say something but a sound upstairs cut him off and startled all of them instead. chenle then started to grow worried into what is happening to jisung and just wanted to go to him.

❝please let me comfort him.❞ chenle said, clasping his hands together. ❝i know what he did was wrong. he's really guilty about it and he is still recovering from it, please understand him.❞

but before anyone of the two adults could say anything, they were once again cut off by jisung's loud voice cursing out loud. chenle didn't wait for any of their permission for him to go up and comfort jisung, he just quickly ran and barged inside jisungs room only to see everything a mess. but chenle's eyes weren't on the mess that's on the floor, it was jisung that standing in the middle of the room looking like a mess.

he was crying and it hurt chenle to see that state of his.

❝jisung, sshh.❞ chenle went to the boy and hugged him very tight, just hoping that it can calm him down.

❝c-chenle.. i'm sorry.. i d-didn't mean to do i-it..❞ jisung raised both his hands up and went to wipe the tears that's uncontrollably falling down from his eyes. ❝i'm s-such a horrible p-person..❞

❝jisung, no, don't say that.❞ chenle then guided jisung to his bed and sat down along with him. ❝baby is going to be sad if you say that to yourself.❞

jisung sniffed, still wiping his tears as chenle hugged him tight and patting his back very softly. ❝baby is going to b-be sad?❞

❝yes.❞ chenle nodded his head, smiling when jisung's cry is finally silenced down. ❝daddy jisung needs to be happy for baby, okay?❞

chenle expected a nod, a silent yes, or even a hum but instead he received a snor. he had thought that maybe jisung was still calming his cries and sobs down but minutes have passed and jisung still isn't moving and is still leaning towards chenle. the chinese only let out a chuckle and continued to rub circles behind jisung's back, putting him to deep sleep.

❝sleep tight jisung.❞ chenle softly mumbled on the younger's ears. ❝you need it.❞

jisung took care of him these past days, it's now his turn to take care of jisung.
