without knocking, jisung barged inside a room. opening the door with full force like that big chicken who knocked the door down. ❝jaemin!❞

❝oh fuck!❞ the older being called flinched from his seat and had a hand on his chest, breathing heavily as he glanced up at jisung who doesn't feel a bit guilty for surprising him.

❝guess wha—❞ jisung flinched from his place when jaemin took a book in his hand and threatened it to throw at jisung. the younger male then chuckled nervously with his hands in front of him for protection. ❝sorry hyung.❞

❝honestly though, don't you guys know how to knock?❞ jaemin scoffed as he ran a hand through his hair after placing the book down to his study table that's a mess right now. ❝you might walk out on something you don't expect to see.❞

❝like you fucking jeno and renjun?❞ jisung simply said with that innocent tone of his as he flopped his body down to jaemin's fluffy mattress.

❝yes—❞ jaemin gasped and now didn't think twice to throw a pocket book at his cousin who only laughed at how he exposed himself. ❝this is a holy ground.❞

the younger male threw the pocket book back and jaemin caught it but it fell from his hands moments after when jisung spoke. ❝and then you have gay magazines under your bed. holy ground indeed, i feel so cleansed here.❞

jaemin sighed and pick up the pocket book down the ground. he then placed it down to his desk and went back to reviewing the books with different topics all at once. it may sound impossible since it's na jaemin we are talking about but the dude is actually doing great in memorizing the terms from biology, remembering the names and dates in history, and understanding the formulas in math.

he didn't even notice his cousin walking towards him and watching what he was all focused about. ❝are you studying?❞

❝you,❞ jaemin placed a hand on jisung's cheek and pushed his head away. ❝should stop sniffing on other people's business.❞

the tall male snorted as he decided to just stay on jaemin's bed. ❝why are you studying? that's so not you.❞ jisung pouted as he stared at jaemin who's eyes are on the books. ❝the beloved na jaemin i know is supposed to be all eyes on the gay magazines he bought using his parents' money.❞

it looks like jisung was talking to air. not even a glance, jaemin completely ignored the younger and went to focus on reviewing for the upcoming tests he had to take again with him forcing the teacher with his charms.

❝right jisung?❞ jisung stared up the ceiling while making his hand motion as if he's talking to his hand. ❝your presence is very much appreciated here.❞

now looking at jisung, jaemin leaned back from his seat with a frown on his face. ❝look, i'm very busy.❞

staying silent for a few seconds, jisung gasped all so suddenly making jaemin flinch for the second time because of this chicken. for a split moment, jaemin panicked thinking that jisung was having a hard time breathing. ❝you failed all the test and that's why you're taking them again to be able to attend the ball.❞

❝n-no!❞ jaemin looked away, avoiding jisung's teasing gaze on him. ❝failing or not, i can always barge to the grand ball like how you barged inside my room a while ago.❞ the older then glared at jisung because of the heart attack he almost had because of his cousin.

❝then why are you studying?❞

❝because renjun has a thing for smart boys.❞ jaemin mumbled from his seat as he buried his head down on the math book in front of him. ❝and jeno loves it when he's talking to an intellectual.❞

sniffing sounds was then heard inside the room and caused jaemin to face his cousin who's faking a cry, using the comforter on jaemin's bed to wipe his invisible tears. ❝na jaemin, that is so beautiful.❞

❝oh shut the fuck up!❞

"jaemin! no cursing or i'll let you sleep outside the house!"

jaemin closed his eyes after hearing his mother scold him and then opened them back only to see jisung now looking all serious. ❝what?❞

❝you don't have to change though.❞ jisung said as he took one of jaemin's pillow and hugged it with his legs crossed while facing at his cousin that's by his study table. ❝if they don't love you for what you are now then they don't deserve someone as wonderful like you.❞

turning to the books that's piled up and papers scattered down on his desk, jaemin stood up from his seat and flopped next to jisung. ❝it's not them that wants me to change. it's me who wants to change.❞

❝wait..❞ jisung furrowed his brows in confusion.

glancing up to his confused cousin, jaemin passed him a small smile. ❝they asked me out and i don't want them to regret asking me out.❞

❝what the fu—❞

"jisung park i'm telling your mom!"

❝furry!❞ jisung slapped his forehead for that last minute poorly covered up word.

jaemin only chuckled at his cousin and then sat down on the bed to face him. maybe a break from studying won't hurt. it's not like he's suffering from short term memory loss like dory. ❝so why are you here? it's late.❞

❝as much as i want to talk about the juicy details about your relationship with the two,❞ jisung placed a hand on his cousin's shoulder. ❝i need help.❞

jaemin rolled his eyes as he slapped jisung's hand from his shoulder. ❝there are no juicy details.❞ jisung raised a brow as he could see the lie in jaemin's eyes. the older then placed a hand on his nape and nervously rubbed it. ❝well, jeno and i made out once inside the restroom. also, i pinned renjun one time inside the library and abused his lips.❞

❝wait, when did that happen!?❞

❝let's not talk about it!❞ jaemin covered his heated up face and then waited for jisung to talk and change the topic.

the younger only smiled as he could see that jaemin wasn't ready to tell him yet, and he respected that. he then decided to go to his own problem to make jaemin comfortable. ❝so, i fucked up.❞

jaemin jolted his head up with his eyes widened. ❝you fucked chenle!?❞

❝what!? no, not yet!❞ jisung pushed jaemin harshly and made the laughing boy flop his back in his mattress.

❝yet.❞ jaemin wiggled his brows at the younger boy. ❝that will forever be highlighted, emphasized, underlined, italicized, and in bold.❞

groaning, jisung tried to stick to his purpose into visiting jaemin at night when he's supposed to be at home staring at chenle by the window— laying down in bed and just playing games from his phone. ❝i'm supposed to ask him out to be my date for the grand ball.❞

jaemin snorted. ❝i still can't believe our school is that rich to hold a grand ball, too formal and elegant. imagine us wearing those classy tuxedos and the girls would be wearing those puffy gowns making them look like actual balls.❞

jisung nodded his head at what jaemin said. he got used to that grand ball their school always hold in a very spacious and majestic place but jisung still doesn't get why they have to hold it that way, it makes them look royal when they aren't. they could have just stayed simple and have prom inside their gymnasium. not like jisung is complaining or anything, food is as amazing as the grand ball so that's one of the things jisung liked.

❝anyhows, did you?❞ jaemin tilted his head to the side out of curiosity. ❝did chenle say yes? bet he did.❞

❝i was about to when class ended a while ago but..❞ jisung looked away with his cheeks blushing. ❝i made out with him and completely forgot about it.❞

sighing in disappointment, jaemin placed a hand on jisung's shoulder. ❝it's okay. we, alphas, always have needs from their omegas.❞

❝wait, jeno is an omega?❞

❝sshh.❞ jaemin placed his index finger on top of jisung's lips to hush him up. ❝an aplha can also have needs from other alphas.❞

covering his body, jisung scooted away as he gave his cousin a look. ❝i'm your cousin, please remember that.❞

❝you—❞ jaemin then held himself back from tackling jisung and just make him suffer with tickles. ❝so what are you planning to do?❞

❝i want to ask him out in the most romantic way.❞ jisung smiled, leaning his back from the headboard. ❝with a rose in hand and those lovely violin background instrumentals.❞

❝then do it.❞ jaemin said as he stood up to go back to his seat by his study table. ❝you have it planned out anyways.❞

❝but i can't seem to find the right time.❞ jisung turned to look at jaemin. ❝is tomorrow good?❞

jaemin opened his mouth to say an opinion but was cut off when jisung's ringtone suddenly echoed inside the room. taking his phone out from his pocket, jisung smiled after seeing the caller's id.

❝dolphin bae?❞ jaemin teased after seeing that wide smile on his cousin's face.

jisung rolled his eyes before accepting the call and then pressed his phon on his ear. ❝chenle?❞

"jisung, help!"

🐋

❝the school called and told me that i'll be singing a song in the grand ball!❞ chenle whined as he buried his head down to his pillow.

jisung stood next to the bed with an indescribable facial expression. he quickly went out of jaemin house and ran his way to chenle's without stopping for a second only to know the real problem. he thought something bad happened like having a burglar or a killer getting inside chenle's house. but at least there's nothing happening and chenle is safe. jisung is thankful for that.

❝jisung!❞ chenle pouted as he went to look at jisung with his eyes almost producing tears, he was panicking. ❝i don't know what to sing!❞

the ball is not until weeks from now, there is still enough time to prepare. jisung let out a sigh and sat down on the older's bed, patting the space next to him. chenle crawled towards the younger with a pout and sat there on his knees. jisung then chuckled at how cute he looked with that pout and didn't hold back the urge to ruffle chenle's hair.

❝there is still more time bae.❞ jisung said as he leaned closer to the now calm boy. ❝don't stress about it.❞

❝but i'm worried.❞ chenle frowned, ❝what if i vomit? and then i'll humiliate myself—❞

he was cut off by a pair of lips on top of his. pulling away from the short kiss, jisung ran a hand slowly to chenle's hair as he knew it calm him down. ❝you won't, okay?❞

❝have you..❞ chenle looked down as he played with the hem of the sweater he is wearing right now. ❝deleted the video?❞

❝nope.❞ jisung chuckled. ❝i'm not going to spread it, don't worry. it's only mine to keep, a memory of you.❞

chenle groaned. ❝an embarrassing one.❞ but he didn't mind. he trusts jisung.

seconds of looking to each other's eyes, they leaned forward and didn't waste any more time to connect their lips again. they were at an uncomfortable position, with jisung sitting down the bed and chenle kneeling down next to him, but they didn't stop and continue to pour their love into the kiss.

but jisung felt bad as he could see the older having a hard time. pulling away, jisung smile as he patted his lap. ❝come here.❞ he softly said, not wanting to make chenle more uncomfortable.

chenle could then feel his cheeks heating up but nonetheless, he followed jisung and sat on the boy's lap. he adjusted himself to be comfortable but was caught off guard when jisung quickly smashed their lips without him having to properly sit yet.

❝kiss me..❞ jisung mumbled as he noticed the older pressing his lips into a thin line and not moving from the kiss. he then held chenle's thighs and pulled him close, finally making chenle sit properly.

chenle's eyes widened, ❝by ed sheeran?❞ that suddenly came into his head as he stumbled to that song just a while ago when he was searching for some nice songs for the grand ball.

meanwhile jisung had heard of it long time ago, jaemin introduced it to him. ❝that's a nice song.❞

chenle smiled as he placed both of his hands behind jisung's nape and began kissing him first. jisung could only smile as he let chenle lead the kiss, cherishing the feeling of chenle's lips moving on his. he wrapped his arms around the older waist and closed his eyes to focus in the emotion they are giving to the kiss.

❝chen— oh.❞

both boys froze from their position after hearing a woman's voice, a familiar one. chenle was the first one to pull away and quickly buried his head on the younger's shoulder to hide his face that's already burning. jisung chuckled at chenle's shy action and then passed a smile at the woman leaning by the doorframe.

❝mom!❞
