❝ah!❞

chan clicked his tongue as he grabbed jiro's arm and pulled him back close. ❝stay still you idiot.❞

❝it hurts!❞

dabbing the cotton at the corner of the older's lips, chan looked up straight to the boy's eyes and gave him a look. ❝that's what you get for fighting again.❞

jiro decided to stay silent and let the younger treat the bruises that's on his face. some were even on his stomach and arms but chan planned to treat them after he treats the ones on his face, the obvious want. honestly, he wouldn't have arrived at this state if it weren't for his fate.

his fate of being a mistake.

❝how many times have i told you to ignore them?❞ chan then put more pressure to a specific bruise that made jiro flinch and take hold of the younger's wrist.

he then sent him a glare for what he did. ❝that hurt.❞

❝glad you know.❞ the younger gave him a sweet smile before swatting his hand away and going back to treating the bruise. ❝i also hope that you know you won't gain anything but detention if you get into fights.❞

jiro scoffed. ❝i don't care.❞

chan sighed, going soft and carefully treated jiro's bruise by his jaw. he was well aware about jiro being bullied. even through people were scared of h because of how intimidating he looked, some are just bored in life and went to do background research on the boy. they eventually found out about him being a mistake, as what they would want to address it, and went to target him about it. jiro would get into fights here and there and chan would always be his nurse by the end of the day.

not like chan mind, at least he gets to see jiro often, but it worries him all the time.

❝you should.❞ chan placed the cotton down the table and went to cup the older's face who's filled with bruises but damn, how can he still look good? ❝what would your parents say to this?❞

❝why would they get worried of me, a mistake?❞ of course, a fifteen-year-old jiro wouldn't know how much he actually meant to hit parents despite of them showing him love and affection.

pressing his lips into a tight line, the fourteen-year-old chan went to press hard on the bruise on the older's cheekbones. ❝name the people who called you a mistake, i will fight them.❞

❝everyone.❞ hearing that from chan made jiro mock a chuckle. ❝you can't even hurt a fly.❞

❝watch me.❞ this time, chan composed himself and held himself back from snapping. ❝you are not a mistake, okay?❞

❝they didn't make me out of love.❞

❝you are a fucking blessing.❞ chan just can't help but curse at this stubborn half dolphin and half chicken park jiro. ❝they loved you even before you came to this world. sure, let's say that they didn't make you out of love but listen to me park shitty jiro, they gave you love the moment you were born into this world.❞

the older only listened to him and his inspirational speech, pretending that he was moved by it but he honestly wasn't. nobody is going to change his mind, he is a mistake and that's settled. so what if they gave him love when added a population to this country? it still doesn't change the fact that he is made by mistake. his daddy is drunk and his papa didn't even wanted for it to happen.

❝you're not listening!❞ chan groaned, staring at jiro who's spacing out.

❝you're talking nonsense.❞ jiro said, holding both of chan's wrists and moved them away from his face. ❝are you done? can i leave now?❞

❝i'm talking nonsense?❞ chan scoffed, looking away and calmed himself before he could attack jiro right there. ❝no, i'm not yet done. you stay there while i continue to talk nonsense.❞

jiro didn't care anymore. they were skipping classes, chan's idea, just for his bruise to be treated so where does he even go if he leaves? might as well stay and just listen to this boy's nonsense talk.

❝i, who is talking nonsense right now, am worried about you. you always keep on fighting anyone and anybody that goes in your way. i know you're strong and all but there's always a time that'll come and someone defeats you.❞ chan didn't even know why he is emotionally unstable right now, but he is near to crying. ❝i like you so fucking much and i'm very hurt to see you like this.❞

❝you—❞

❝don't even talk to me shit about liking you as a friend because i clearly love you even more than boyfriends actually.❞ he said, making the older sit there frozen beside him. but that didn't stop him from talking nonsense. ❝and we aren't even boyfriends.❞

jiro sighed, bringing his hands up to chan's face and went to wipe out the tears that are falling down from his eyes. ❝you talk to much.❞

the younger chuckled, cursing at himself for not being able to control his tears. ❝i talk too much nonsense.❞

❝you just confessed right in front of me and you call them nonsense?❞ jiro couldn't believe this guy.

chan then gasped in an offended accent. ❝you were the first one to say that i talk nonsense!❞

❝well then, i would also like to talk nonsense!❞ jiro said, making chan flinch when he suddenly raised his voice. ❝i like—❞

the two of them almost jumpedd from their seats when they heard a ringtone coming from jiro's phone. the owner of the phone groaned very loudly and chan could see how upset and disappointed he was. a smile was then formed on his lips. he isn't that dense, he had an idea on what jiro was about to say.

❝i swear to god, they really love to call me at a very important moment.❞ but despite of complaining, jiro answered the call after a few rings and heard panting and heavy breathing from the other line. ❝dad?❞

❝that's how much they love a blessing like you, jiro.❞ chan said, fixing and gathering the cotton and ointments he used to treat jiro's bruises. ❝they love you so much that they miss you every second.❞

"where on earth are you!?"

jiro rolled his eyes at the very lovely greeting from his father. ❝i don't know dad, at home maybe? skipping class because you guys totally didn't force me to wake up in the morning to attend classes.❞

"don't give me that attitude, park jiro."

❝don't dally time, park jisung. i still have classes to attend.❞ if anyone would hear this, they'd be disappointed at jiro for having no manner but this is actually just how their family flows. he is this comfortable with his parents to even do this them, but of course he gets a scolding after.

nonetheless, he loves them with his whole heart.

you'd expect for jisung to scold his son for being disrespectful but no, he is actually panicking on the phone that jiro can't help but laugh. "don't you laugh at me!"

❝you're rambling things dad, what's wrong?❞ jiro then tried to guess. ❝did papa scold you again for hugging him too tight that it's suffocating him and the baby inside his stomach?❞

yeah, his papa is pregnant.

if jiro would be honest, he was scared. he and and his future baby sibling are so different. he was made at a very wrong time, place, and situation meanwhile his future baby sibling was made at a perfect time, place, situation and even with love.

he was scared that they'd favor his baby sibling than him.

"that and another thing.." jiro can just imagine his father biting his nails out of nervousness as he called. "your papa is at the hospital."

❝what!?❞ jiro stood up all so suddenly from his seat that made chan flinch. ❝what did you and your destructive hands do!?❞

a nervous chuckle was then heard from the other line. "well, i just gave him a tight hug and the next second he was already screaming for pain. fuck, do you know how i was panicking?"

❝you don't fucking curse dad, papa's going to kill you.❞ jiro said, covering his mouth when he realized that he, too, cursed.

"oh look who cursed too." jisung teased. "guess we both are going to die in papa's hands."

❝how is papa?❞ jiro sighed sitting back down and was lucky to have chan there to calm himself down.

"hey."

❝what is it my beloved father?❞

"are you ready to meet your baby brother?"

🐋

breathing in and out, jiro just can't help but be nervous about seeing his parents and his baby brother. ❝actually, how about i run away and—❞

chan quickly took hold of jiro's bag strap and pulled him back to his place in front of the door where his papa's room is located inside this hospital they are in. ❝i want you to open that door and greet them with a smile.❞

easier said than done. actually, jiro could just act that he's happy about having a baby brother but he can't seem to do it. ❝chan?❞

the younger male that was called raised a brow at jiro who turned around and gave him a look. chan felt bad for him, he looked scared and nervous. he couldn't blame jiro for acting like that, chan bet that he'll act worse than jiro if he is in his place. ❝it's fine, i'm here.❞

❝don't leave me okay?❞ jiro took a step closer towards the younger and held his hand very tight. ❝please, i really need you right now.❞

nodding his head, chan gave the older one comforting smile. ❝i would never leave you.❞

❝after this..❞ jiro finally had gathered the courage to hold the door knob and twisted it slowly. ❝we have to talk about the nonsense you told me a while ago.❞

okay, chan mayhaps want to turn back against his word. he didn't mean to confess to jiro that way, he planned to be in a much more romantic setting and not when they are in the middle of quarreling. but anyways, it was too late to do that. he has no choice but to accept his fate and talk to jiro about it later. may he accept it or not, chan is still going to stay by his side either way.

for now, chan needs to be here for jiro.

❝he looks so much like you.❞ jisung chuckled, playing with the baby's small hands very gently. ❝so cute, just like you.❞

chenle rolled his eyes at his beloved lover who complimented him just because he failed to comfort him once again when he was giving birth. but nonetheless, he's glad that jisung is here and that's all that matters. ❝bet he's going to be as tall as you. really though, i am surrounded by towers. look at jiro, he's almost as tall as you and he's just fifteen.❞

hearing his name made jiro tighten his grip on chan's hand. his parents might have not noticed him being there yet and it made him wonder if his presence is that irrelevant.

❝aw come on,❞ jisung leaned forward to him and booped their noses together. ❝you love him.❞

❝he's my everything, along with this baby brother of his.❞ chenle smiled, looking down at the born baby and admired him. ❝both of them are a blessing to me.❞

❝if i was your everything then you would have noticed my presence here!❞ jiro shouted, finally catching their attention.

chan held the older's arm very tight in case he will go an run away. as much as he wanted for jiro to release whatever he is feeling right now, he needed to be here. he can't just leave and ignore his baby brother like that. chan stared at jiro's parents and pressed his lips into a thin line, his eyes telling them to do something.

jisung sighed and stood up from the hospital bed. ❝drama king, i noticed you being there.❞

jiro sniffed, he sure is a crybaby. and there jisung thought that he isn't when he was born since he wasn't crying. ❝then why..❞

❝i thought you were having a moment with your boyfriend.❞ jisung said, looking down at their hands that were locked. ❝i'm going to have to talk to you about that.❞

seeing jisung's teasing look made chan heat up from his place meanwhile jiro couldn't hold back anymore and sobbed out loud. he really is a crybaby and both jisung and chenle know that too well. chenle showed a soft smile and turned to jisung, telling to handle it for him since he's carrying their newly born baby. but jisung didn't have to be told, his instincts made him move from his spot and immediately went to give jiro a tight hug.

❝stop crying idiot.❞

❝d-dad..❞ jiro wrapped his shaky arms around his father's body and buried his head on his shoulder. ❝i'm sorry for being a mistake.❞

❝who said that you're a mistake? did we ever say that?❞ jisung asked, trying his best not to snap at jiro.

❝but everyone—❞

❝why would you listen to them? are they your parents?❞ jisung pulled away from the hug and held the boy's shoulders. ❝how many times do i have to tell you that you're a blessing to us? we love you, chan loves you.❞

❝hey!❞ chan puffed his cheeks, flustered at what his uncle ji just told to his longtime crush.

jisung giggled at chan's reaction, being reminded of donghyuck getting flustered, but quickly then went serious when he looked back at jiro. ❝you are not a mistake, always remember that. just like what your papa just said, you are our everything. you will never be a mistake jiro.❞

❝dad.❞ jiro won't take that. so what if they genuinely loved him? it still doesn't change the very fact that he wasn't made out of love. ❝i'm a mistake, that's a fact.❞

well then, if he doesn't want to believe that he is a blessing, jisung thought of the right words to say. ❝okay then, you are a mistake.❞

and jiro finally heard it from his parents, from his father. he's a mistake.

❝a beautiful mistake.❞

the boy then groaned, already cringing at the situation and can't help but feel uncomfortable. which is a good thing actually. ❝stop.❞

❝cute, baby jiro is a beautiful mistake.❞

❝dad!❞

❝baby jiro is our everyth—❞

chan gasped while chenle laughed when jiro raised his father's shirt up by the collar and covered his mouth with it. chan mayhaps didn't know that this was already normal in their family which was shocking to see jiro treating his dad that way.

but what's important is jiro finally laughing. instead of getting mad at how his son treated him, jisung smiled and just ruffled jiro's hair.

❝but seriously, i'm going to fight whoever bullied you called you a mistake.❞ jisung said with that stern voice of his.

jiro laughed. ❝sure, destroy them like how you destroyed a vacuum cleaner.❞

gasping so loud, jisung had never thought of him finding out about that. ❝where did you—❞

❝uncle nana mayhaps told me.❞

❝i'm still not shrugging the topic about you and chan holding hands.❞ jisung said, putting the two in the hot seat as he went to his lover that's sitting down on the hospital bed. ❝but we are talking about that later. for now, jiro come meet your brother!❞

❝can i hold him?❞ jiro hesitated to ask he took short steps towards parents.

chenle raised brow, ❝what are you going to say?❞

jiro sighed, putting his hand out and gave his papa one sweet smile. ❝papa, can i please hold my beloved baby brother?❞

❝of course you can, baby jiro.❞ chenle then chuckled as he carefully and slowly handed the baby to jiro who's struggling to carry. lucky for jiro, chan is there to help him. ❝don't forget, i'm still scolding you and your daddy about cursing.❞

both jisung and jiro looked at each other before giving chenle one nervous smile and chuckling the nervousness away.

while they are at it, jisung and chenle was left there while the two were having their own world. jisung turned to chenle and gave his beloved a small smile while holding his hand. chenle then pulled jisung closer and surprised him as he smashed his lips on the younger's. jisung wasn't expecting to recieve a kiss but he kissed back nonetheless.

❝look at you, being a father you never thought you could be.❞ chenle said, now bringing his hand up to play with jisung's locks.

❝i'm trying.❞ jisung frowned, remembering the times where he always complains about not doing his job very well. even being an adult, he'd always cry and feel guilty for not being a good father and the best lover for chenle.

resting their forehead on each other, chenle closed his eyes with his lips curving up. ❝you're doing well.❞

❝chenle..❞ jisung bit his lower lip as he stared down at their fingers being intertwined. ❝i'm sorry.❞

and up until now, jisung still feels guilty for everything he had done. he may look like he's fine outside and has already moved on from it but you never know what's going on inside his head. he is still blaming himself for the things he had done wrong. he just can't bring himself to forgive the things he had done. chenle would always be there to comfort him for it and he is thankful for that.

❝what a crybaby.❞ chenle let out a snort, making jisung pout. ❝come here.❞

jisung was then engulfed in a tight hug, which made him cry even harder on his lover's shoulder. ❝i'm sorry. i am very sorry.❞

❝jisung, please.❞ chenle pulled away and went to wipe the tears away. ❝i forgave you a long time ago. it's fine, everything is already fine.❞

❝i'm still going to feel bad everyday.❞

❝then i'm going to forgive you every second.❞ chenle said as he ran a hand through the male's hair and settled a loving peck on his lips that are parted.

just as jisung was about to place a hand behind chenle's head and pull him for another kiss, a heated one as he is craving for it as of the moment, chenle pushed him away softly and pointed at the kids that are taking care of the newly born baby. jisung groaned silently as he kepy distance from chenle, noting himself to do it the moment they get home with or without jiro around.

❝he is so small.❞ jiro commented at the size of his baby brother. ❝he is like the size of my hand.❞

diverting his attention from chenle to jiro, jisung's eyes widened when he saw jiro's hand shaking as he carried his baby brother.

❝jiro, you're going to drop jie!❞

and that's the story of a tall chicken forcing a transfer student to be his bank account. not expecting to actually fall for each other, and not expecting to be living happily ever after in the end. they have been through a lot and they had thoughts of giving up but never did they ever do that. love, stupid and wonderful love, kept them together. and also jiro, he also was one of the beautiful reasons why chenle and jisung fought and kept strong with each other.

chenle sure needs to thank jisung for making him his bank account. without that, he won't be experiencing a rollercoaster ride in his life. the adventure was sure hard but with jisung right beside him, it's kinda fun.

everything is going to be alright if they have each other. if jisung has his love account and chenle has his crybaby chicken.
