❝do you need anything jisung?❞ the mother questioned, shuffling sounds were heard from the line but jisung paid no attention to it.

❝where are you? i want to be there with you.❞

🐋

snuggling to the pillow and enjoying his deep sleep, chenle mayhaps forgotten that he wasn't sleeping in his room. it only crossed his mind when he shifted his position to a different direction and heard some whispers getting louder and louder.

"can you like, not make out here?!"

"jaemin hush, chenle is sleeping."

"but they are making out here!"

"shut your mouth or i'll let my lips shut that up."

what jeno said made jaemin zip his mouth up and now diverted his attention from the couple that went back to making out to chenle who's slowly waking up from the hospital bed. standing up from the sofa he shared with mark and donghyuck that were eating each other's faces, he approached chenle and sat down on the hospital bed.

❝lele?❞ jaemin said softly with his hand going to chenle's soft locks and ran through it.

the chinese on the bed moved after feeling jaemin's warm hands and slowly opened his eyes after. adjusting to the light, chenle pushed himself up from the bed and yawned while rubbing his eyes.

everyone cooed at how baby material chenle looked, like a baby who just woke up from his sleep, and even mark and donghyuck stopped making out and squealed at chenle's cuteness.

❝where am i?❞ chenle mumbled, his voice not ready to speak.

❝hospital.❞ renjun answered, sitting next to jaemin.

that woke chenle up real quick. ❝why am i in the hospital?❞

❝well,❞ jaemin looked down and played with renjun's hand that's resting on his thighs. ❝you vomited in front of everyone last night.❞

hearing that made chenle groan and burry his head down to his palms, finally remembering everything that happened. from jisung picking him up from his house, jisung sneaking to the backstage and dancing with him, to jisung covering him up in front of everyone when he vomited.

jisung was there with him throughout the night.

❝jisung brought you here when you fainted and asked us to come today.❞ jeno said, sitting in between renjun and jaemin as he was jealous that the two weren't paying attention to him. ❝don't worry about the video though, jisung already took care of it.❞

chenle sat there listening to their explanation and it made him feel bad about it. he vomited on jisung, the boy must have been so disgusted by it. he fainted after, jisung must have broken some bones carrying him. jisung stayed to look out for him, he must be annoyed and tired taking care of him. he was a burden to jisung the whole night.

❝sadly, he can't stay for too long and left before you woke up.❞ jaemin said with a frown on his face.

looking down on the clothes he is wearing, chenle furrowed his brows when he saw his clothes being changed. he was now wearing a comfortable sweater that he definitely didn't own and sweatpants that's a little bit big for him. ❝whose are this?❞

donghyuck then decided to speak after seeing jaemin scolding jeno for hugging him too tight. ❝jisung went home last night to get clothes for you since you were covered with your vomit.❞

mark nodded and held his boyfriend's hand after leaning his head down to donghyuck's shoulder. ❝he too was the one who changed you.❞

remembering jisung's explanation made jaemin chuckle. ❝i even held renjun back since he was so against about jisung seeing your body again.❞

❝hey!❞ renjun pouted and buried his head on jeno's back. ❝i didn't want jisung to take advantage of chenle.❞

❝little spoon, how many time have i told you that he changed?❞ jaemin said while looking at renjun, sad at the fact that up until now he still doesn't trust jisung.

❝right.❞ renjun simply answered, not wanting to argue with jaemin right here in front of everyone.

chenle only smiled as he could smell jisung's scent on the clothes he is wearing. he isn't even uncomfortable at the fact that jisung was the one who changed his clothes, jisung has seen every part of him anyways. he should be thankful for the boy for doing so much for him.

❝by the way chenle,❞ donghyuck tilted his head to the side out of curiosity. ❝why did you vomit last night?❞

oh how chenle wanted to believe that it has something to do with what he ate before the night but he clearly knows that it wasn't it. but still, chenle needs to lie. ❝i ate a lot so it's probably it and not to mention how nervous i was.❞

he still wasn't ready to tell anyone.

but maybe to jisung, he can tell it to him already. after all he has done to chenle, being there for him all the time, ready to save him at any situation, it was enough for chenle to think that jisung deserves to know. he may or may not accept what's in the making inside his stomach but what's important is that he knows.

but the question is, where is jisung?

❝will he come back later?❞ chenle questioned while playing with the hem of jisung's sweater.

neither of them knew, but their eyes went to jaemin since he was the male's cousin. jaemin rolled his eyes at them and sighed at chenle. ❝hopefully. is there something you want to tell him?❞

chenle nodded his head slowly. ❝something very important.❞

their faces then lit up, already having an idea what it is. no, they don't know about chenle being pregnant but they had thought that maybe chenle will finally confess. chenle will probably remove that friends title between them and turn it into something more like adding a 'boy' in it and they'll finally be boyfriends.

they were so excited for that.

but where is jisung?

soon later, the comfortable silence inside the room was disturbed by jaemin's phone ringing. jaemin immediately took it out from his pocket and gasped at who called, just at the right moment.

not wasting any more second, jaemin answered the call with a wide smile on his face. ❝jisung!❞

everyone snapped out from their thoughts and went to look at jaemin with excitement visible on their faces. chenle was the most excited of them all, he wanted to see jisung.

and probably chensung will sail this time around?

❝what?❞ jaemin's smile then turned to a frown and now worried everyone. chenle could then feel his palms getting sweaty and all he did was play with jisung's sweater. he didn't not like that look on jaemin's face, it was shouting for something bad happening. ❝yeah, okay. bye.❞

jaemin ended the call moments after and stared at chenle with those sad eyes. chenle didn't want to know what happened but curiosity was getting the best of him.

❝where is jisung?❞ the chinese said, trying his best trying not to sound sad.

jaemin didn't have the courage to look at chenle and so he looked away, hesitating whether to tell chenle where his cousin is or not. he didn't want to ruin the boy's mood and he especially didn't want his ship to sink now that it's starting to sail once again.

❝jaemin hyung?❞

❝he's..❞

chenle widened his eyes as he could feel everything going blank after hearing what jaemin just said. was this another obstacle for them? why was it so hard for chenle to just end up with the person he loves?

❝he's at the airport right now.❞

🐋

no.

c

henle huffed as he ran and ran, pushing everyone aside, mumbling 'sorry's here and there, chanting 'excuse me's every second, and being careful not to hurt the blessing in the making inside his stomach.

no, jisung shouldn't leave.

he didn't care where jisung is going, neither how important the reason is why he should leave. call chenle selfish but he wants jisung to stay. he wants to let jisung know that he wants him to stay and wants him to take responsibility of what he had just made.

how dare he.

turning another corner, chenle almost cried after seeing the airport where jaemin told him where jisung is. he just hopes that he's not yet too late to get jisung. how dare he leave without even at least saying anything to him? and even if he does saying something, chenle will still not make him leave, not till he comes along. he didn't want to be separated from him.

after all they have been going through, he won't allow to end it like this.

he needs to fight, chenle needs to fight for them. if jisung won't do it then chenle will. they have been going through so much and they have made it through this far. there's no way chenle is just going to give it up like that.

chenle's eyes scanned the crowded place and didn't even bother stopping for a while to breathe. he knows that it's going to be bad for his health and his doctor is going to scold him for this but there's nothing inside his head but to find jisung. turning from left to right, chenle was this near to collapsing down the floor as this mission seemed so impossible but he should give up.

❝where is that chicken head?❞ chenle mumbled, running again around the place, looking from every corner just to find jisung. ❝where is he?❞

standing in the middle of the airport, chenle's eyes stopped at a specific direction where he could see someone familiar not that far from him. he will forever remember that body built, that tall height, and those big hands. pressing his lips into a thin line, chenle bawled his fists tight and gathered all the courage to embarrass himself in front of everyone just to get the person's attention.

❝park jimeo!❞

jimeo? that sounded familiar. the person furrowed his brows and turned around to see who called him that name. he guessed it was jaemin coming to help him carry his parents' bags but then it was someone else who's fuming towards his way.

❝c-chenle?❞ jisung stared at some who were looking at them and others just minding their business before looking down at chenle who looked like he was about to cry. ❝hey why—❞

❝don't you fucking go!❞ chenle shouted, having no chill as he stood in front of jisung who flinched at how he suddenly raised his voice. ❝i won't let you!❞

❝i wasn't—❞

chenle bit his lower lips as tears were finally falling down from his eyes and his fists when to hit jisung on his chest. ❝how dare you plan to leave me? you don't just leave your chenliet like that!❞

jisung blinked and held chenle's hands that were punching him nonstop, but not like his punches hurt him. ❝chenle stop crying.❞

❝h-how?❞ chenle sniffed, looking up at jisung who's worried at how he looked. ❝don't leave me, please. jisung, stay with me. i'm sorry for everything, i'm sorry for being a burden, and i'm fucking sorry for being so dumb and accepting us being as friends.❞

jisung chuckled and went to wipe the olders tears that keeps on falling down to his cheeks. ❝shouldn't i be the one apologizing you for everything? what i did was even illegal.❞

❝that's right!❞ chenle raised his sweater paws up and wiped his tears, finding it no use after since tears were still falling down uncontrollably. ❝you need to take responsibility you idiot!❞

❝take..❞ jisung had his brows raised at the statement. ❝responsibility?❞

❝i'm pregnant jisung.❞ chenle mumbled as he kept on crying and crying until he just buried his face on jisung's sweater that he is wearing. ❝and it's your fault, dumb chicken!❞

jisung already knew about him being pregnant and he couldn't help but be disappointed at first. not because chenle is pregnant but because of who is made him pregnant. but after hearing this? jisung was holding back the urge to hug chenle very tight, afraid to squish the blessing inside the older's stomach.

was it wrong to feel happy about this?

he was well aware that they are too young. actually, both of them were aware of this and also knew that there are consequences. but if they were willing then they can overcome this togerher. they've been through a lot, they have dealt with a lot of things and had almost even thought of giving up but here they are right now.

they can do it together.

❝you are pregnant?❞ jisung had his hand on chenle's stomach and caressed it while looking up at the crying male.

by now, everyone was now minding their own businesses so there's nothing to be scared about having anyone to hear.

❝i'm pregnant.❞ chenle said while nodding his head, not looking up to see that smile on jisung's face.

❝pregnant?❞

but their moment had to be ruined by someone. both chenle and jisung turned their heads to the side and their mouth went wide open after seeing jisung's parents standing there with confused written on their faces. their eyes went to jisung for a split second before turning to look at chenle who's eyes were swollen from crying. they had found chenle familiar but one question was inside their heads.

❝who is pregnant?❞
