Author's Note

Hello my fellow readers~ How are you? I'm very very sorry for not being able to update as soon as I finish my exam. It's been 2 months since I finished my examination and on 10 June, my result will be out. Wish me luck since this result will determine my future(kinda.)

Additionally, I wasn't feeling fine at all. Ever since I came back home from my boarding school, I'm not alright at all. My parents been stressing me out so hard ( mainly my mom) and I kept on having series of self-hating at least once a week. Felt like killing myself more than once ever since I came back home. So yes, my mental state isn't good as for now and I'm quite worried at that. She kept on telling me to tell her my problems but I just can't cause she's the source of my problems. She won't listen to what I said anyway, stating that she knows better and all. Agh!! Why am I rambling this to you guys? You guys are here to read this fic not to read my venting!!

Ok, let's go with the story now! Great appreciation for AXL nee-san for beta-reading this again! I owe you so much!! Nee-san told me to split this chapter into 2. Originally, I want to mush both MTR and MTC part together but I guess it's better if I don't right?

A friend of mine recommend this webtoon comic to me. Are you guys a webtoon reader? Cause if you do, try giving this story a try!! I got lot's of inspiration and motivation from this webcomic to continue writing this fic! The tittle is 'Our Omega Leadernim'. Yep! It's abo verse and it's very, very intresting and amazing!! I love the author so much!! She draw so beautifully and makes me wish I could draw like that too

At the Central Hospital in Shinjuku Division, Jakurai tended his last patient of the day and greeted them farewell. It is another peaceful night in Shinjuku as the nurse calls out a good work to Jakurai in which he replies with a smile. Jakurai grabbed a pen and idly played with it while his mind remembered the official letter he just received from Chuuoku stating that he needs to form a new team.

"Teammates, huh..," he mumbled. Jakurai ponders for another moment. For years he has always been attracted to interesting people and The Dirty Dawg was no exception. They were his friends and they are also interesting enough to pique his interest to get to know them better. 'Were' would be a harsh word to use since he's still on good terms with Ichiro and Samatoki but for the pinkhead... it's safe to say that he hates that man. If he needs to find 2 more members, they need to be unique and interesting enough for him to indulge himself in their behaviour. But yet again, is he able to find those kinds of interesting people like that again?

His mind wanders around, trying to think of any possible candidates that he can recruit. He let his mind think about the pink gremlin for a few mere seconds before suddenly, a nurse called out to him, stating that he seemed to be staring into space and it was rare of him to do so. And in the end, Jakurai replied with a polite answer telling the nurse in charge that he was just thinking. But his mind did wonder again that night. Thinking on whoever will be interesting enough for him  to recruit as his new teammates.

Somewhere in Shinjuku Division, a man with shaggy red hair could be seen walking his way to his apartment after a long day at work. He let out a deep sigh as he went inside his apartment, plopping his work bag on the sofa and proceeding to undress himself. Doppo turned towards the dining table and saw dinner left on the table with a note from his husband. A weak smile plastered on his face with a tint of pink blush on his cheeks as he read on the familiar handwriting.

'Heyoooo~, Doppochin my lovely husband!!
Dinner tonight is simmered flounder! It's super duper yummy so eat up to your heart content!!

-love, Hifumi, your faithful and loving husband!❤️❤️❤️❤️😘'

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

At another part in Shinjuku, there is a well known host club called Fragrance. It was a very famous club due to their very handsome and famous No. 1 host, Izanami Hifumi. Ladies were cheering for the host as he greeted his customers with a loving smile on his face.

"I am Izanami Hifumi. Thank you for your kindness for visiting us on this lovely evening," he greeted his customers with a voice as smooth as velvet that could swoon anyone in the host club be it their gender or status. A cheer erupted as the host made his appearance.

Hifumi walked towards one of his customers and lovingly held her hair while chanting sweet nothings to her. Imaginary yellow roses seem to appear around them.

"Oh my, you came back for me today as well.. Today for sure, I can transform you darling little kitten into a marvelous princess... Won't you keep me all to yourself until the sun's first rays, dearest?"

And as always, the woman swooned over his charm. The woman blushed at the words. Her eyes gleam with hearts and love towards the famous host.

"Oh yes.. Hifumi-kun.. this month, I have my eyes on something for 1,234,560 yen.. I'm going to buy your favourite champagne, Hifumi-kun," the woman stammered, cheeks tinted red with blush and her hands clasped together, her eyes never broke contact from Hifumi's eyes. Hifumi gave his client his natural charming smile in which it can almost rival the sun. He thanked her, stating that she shouldn't have to go so far for his sake before clapping his hands, ordering the champagne tower to be brought in into the hall. The club blared with Hifumi's signature song, 'Champagne gold' and while he sang to the music, more guests crowded around him. Unbeknown to him a strange figure was watching over him.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Dawn has passed by and Hifumi has finally arrived at his house. He took off his jacket before stretching out his body. He went to the kitchen and was delighted that his husband even had a second of the meal. Most of the time, it's hard to get Doppo to eat much so Hifumi will be extra happy when he eats more than normal. Hifumi went to the bathroom to take a shower before getting a well deserved sleep.

After a few hours of sleeping, Hifumi proceeded to continue his daily routine. He hums out a small "Now let's see..," before vacuuming the whole apartment and doing the laundry. Once finished, Hifumi decided to start on the dinner a little bit earlier than he usually does. He picked up his phone when he was just about done tying his favourite apron since a notification chimes in, telling him he got a message. Hifumi picked up his phone to check on the sender. The ID on his phone shows the words '❤️My lovely Doppochin❤️👔' and the host quickly clicked the message to read its content. An ear splitting grin could be seen on his face.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

It was already dark when Doppo was on his way back home. Still, it's pretty early compared to his usual overtime in which he is grateful. He clicked on his phone to check on the time while he let his brain wander by itself. He thought about how weird that he actually managed to get off from work earlier than he usually does but then suddenly, those random thoughts decided to take a quick 180 degree turning point where Doppo's mind was assaulted by his usual self-loathing and negative thoughts. He suddenly felt hopeless and started to mumble out on how today might be alright but who knows what tomorrow might in store for him. He thought about how his endless overtime will cause him to spend less time with his family and how the said family will eventually hate him. He thought of how he was just another office slave, how a big disaster he is and of course on how he is not worthy of anything and how a good-for-nothing idiot he is.

Still feeling slumped down over his own negative thoughts, Doppo managed to arrive at his apartment complex intact without any other misfortune to befall on him. He went straight to the mailbox to check if any new letters or documents might be sent to either him or Hifumi and when he opened it, he saw a big white file addressed to Hifumi. The beta picked up the file and noticed it was quite heavy. He gave it a shake and heard the familiar clang of metal and the same stench of metallic he had smelled before in his life. Doppo let out an exasperated sigh.

"Not again...," he groaned out tiredly, brows scrunched in annoyance.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

"Tadaima..," the beta muttered out as he took off his shoes and went straight to the living room. There, he saw the familiar radiant yellow hair of his husband who was busy fixing dinner for both of them. When Hifumi saw Doppo entering the living room, he stopped himself from mixing the potato salad in his hand to welcome him home.

"Doppochin!! Okaeri! Dinner will be done soon so go take a shower first," the host greeted his husband with his dazzling, happy smile.

"Sorry for troubling you Hifumi,"

"Nonsense Doppochin! I'm your husband so it's normal for me to do this and indulge you whenever I can. Sides, it's been a while since it's just the 2 of us eat together,"

"That's right.. speaking of that, I realized that I'm a disaster of a human and i can't accept your kindness,"

"Ah ha ha~! Don't feel so down Doppochin. I made this only for our family so it's fine~ So! Go take a shower! I'll be done in a jiffy~," Hifumi ushered Doppo away from the kitchen so that the other can clean himself up before dinner.

A few minutes later, Doppo came back from his quick shower and when he arrived at the dining table, he saw Hifumi set the table with various kinds of his favourite foods. Omurice, spaghetti and potato salad are neatly placed on the table and Doppo could help but salivate at the sight of delicious food in front of his eyes.

"There's so much.. you made all this in such a short time after I emailed you about leaving the office," Doppo muttered out in amazement. Sure he knew that his husband could cook delicious food in a short amount of time ( being married to Hifumi has taught Doppo that) but it still never ceases to amaze him even after all those years.

"Heh heh! I originally planned to make just spaghetti but it's been a while since it's just the 2 of us eating together, so I went ahead and made your favourite potato salad and omurice," Hifumi explained excitedly as he went on to finish touching up setting the table. Doppo sniffed, holding back his tears of joy.

"Ugh! What's up with this and coming home early, I'm happy," he cried out happily, wiping his tears using the sleeve of his coat. Hifumi could only smile fondly at his husband. He took a quick stride toward Doppo before giving him a soft kiss on his husband's lips. Doppo blushed at the sudden affection but before the redhead could even say anything back, the blonde shushed him out and told him to wash his hand in which the older man complied.

When they had washed their hands, they took a seat across from each other as per usual. When the first spoonful of food enters Doppo's mouth, he moans at the flavour. Any food he had at any restaurant can never beat  Hifumi's home cooked meal. The familiar homey taste that comes with the food always brings a smile on the brunette's face no matter how bad his day was. Hifumi smiles gleefully at his husband's reaction. it never bores him to see Doppo enjoying his home cooked meal. Never. Doppo praised Hifumi's cooking in which the younger counter with his food was always worth 5 stars and it is very exclusive to his family and friends. Once they finished their meal, Hifumi proceeded to wash the dishes as Doppo called out to his husband, asking if he wanted coffee before he went to work in which the blonde agreed before thanking him.

"Ah! That reminds me-!" Doppo snapped up after he poured a mug of coffee for Hifumi. Doppo rushed out from the dining table before coming back with the white file he took from the letter box.

"Your stalker is at it again" he grumbled as he threw the file on top of the table that is now cleared from any plates except from their mugs of coffee.

"Oh? Really? Did you read the letter?"

"I don't need to read that shit to know what it says,"

"Ohoho, are you jealous Doppochin?" Hifumi asked while raising both of his eyebrows playfully. The gesture only rewarded him with a loud gruff sigh from Doppo.

"No reason to be jealous over this kind of shit... but I'm pissed if that answers your question," Doppo reasoned before sipping the hot black liquid in his mug. The familiar taste of bitterness from the coffee brings out a warmth and calms his nerves down a little bit. Just a tiny bit.

'Ding dong' the doorbell rang. Hifumi put down his mug of coffee and moved towards the door and answered the call. When the host finally stood at the front door, he took a peek through the peephole. A woman could be seen standing in front of the door at the opposite side which caused Hifumi to quickly retract himself to his husband who was walking towards the door as well. The famous host let out a high pitched squeak as he clung onto his husband like a koala. The brunette let out a sigh. He grumbled under his mouth something that sounded close to that. He can't believe that a file filled with threats and bloody knives doesn't deter his husband but a woman does. Doppo opens the door and leaves Hifumi inside so that the other can continue to get ready for work. The woman were shocked to see Doppo's face and went silent for a few seconds.

"...This is Izanami Hifumi residence, correct?" the delivery woman asked while giving Doppo the parcel. Doppo looked at the woman carefully and answered her rather warely.

"..Yes..," but before Doppo could ask her anything more, the woman had already left him. The sudden sunken feeling of dreadness that something bad is about to happen suddenly hit Doppo hard like a brick. He quickly checked the parcel in his hand and cursed loudly when he noticed that there's no sender address attached to the parcel.

"SHIT!!" but before Doppo could do something, he heard a loud crash coming from inside of their apartment. Another string of curse leaves the redhead's lips. Doppo ran towards the source, wishing that the situation wouldn't be as bad as his brain supplied. When he arrived, he saw the same delivery woman from before was holding a knife with crimson tainting the sharp blade. The older man snapped his head to look at his husband. His eyes widened when he saw his husband clutching his left arm tightly with his right hand, his breath jagged while his gold coloured stares deeply into Doppo's blue eyes. Anger bubbling from deep within Doppo's body. He may be a beta but that doesn't mean he can't fight for the ones he loves! Hifumi screamed at him to back off but the older man didn't. The fresh anger inside him is slowly simmering itself as he glares at the woman who stood in front of his husband. The woman's eyes snapped at Doppo once she noticed his presence. With the bloodied knife still clutched tightly around her hands, she let out a screeching scream.

"You! W-why are you... living with my Hifumi.. I won't let you-,"

'Again with this shit! I'm getting tired of this already!' Doppo inwardly curse. He adjusted his stance, getting ready to dodge himself for any upcoming,  clumsy attack that this woman was about to give.

"I-I! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!! KILL YOU! KILL YOU!" the woman roared, using her Alpha voice. Doppo didn't even flinch. How stupid. Alpha voice doesn't work on beta and especially not on Doppo. She must think that he's some sort of a slutty omega that wants to seduce Hifumi. The woman strikes herself towards Doppo, fully intended to impale the other with the knife in her hand. But before she could reach Doppo, Hifumi lunged himself towards the woman by using his uninjured side to hit her. The woman lost her balanced and hit the wall. Her eyes widened in disbelief. She called out to him but Hifumi gave her a hard glare, releasing his pheromones that screams 'FUCK OFF FROM THIS HOUSE AND MY MATE!'

"I-I won't let you! If it's me I don't care! But if you ever hurt my Doppo- no matter how much of a darling kitten you are- I will hate you!" he cried out angrily, eyes blaring wine red. He doesn't mind getting stabbed but if anyone dares to hurt his family, that will be a whole different story. His inner Alpha let out a growl. Nobody. And he meant nobody! Nobody is allowed to hurt his family! Not even if the person is his kitten.

"H-Hifumi-kun?..A- Are mad at me?" the woman asked, fear laced in her voice, to shock at Hifumi's sudden change of aura. The woman scrambled herself to her feet before running away in panic and shock filled her scent. Once the woman was out of sight, Hifumi felt his legs give out due to exhaustion and the stinging pain on his left arm. But before he could hit the ground, he felt a pair of arms hugging him by the waist, carefully not to touch the bloodied side. Hifumi could smell Doppo's natural scent wafting around them. It's faint but Hifumi always loves how the scent clung around Doppo. Even though Betas has a softer scent compared to Alpha and Omegas, (and the fact that only people who are mated to them could only smell them) they still do have some and Hifumi can tell how worried his husband is right now even though he is trying his best to mask it with anger.

"You idiot!! Come on let's go to sensei!" Doppo cried out in anger,

a single tear slid down his cheeks. Damn it! This isn't the first time and Doppo is sure as hell that it won't be the last time either. He should... He should be getting used to it already right? This is all his fault isn't it? He should have- 'No! This is not the time to think of negative thoughts!' Doppo inwardly scolded himself. He needs to keep himself together. The first thing they had to do right now is to go and meet Jakurai!. And that is exactly what they did.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

They arrived at the Shinjuku Central Hospital in record time and quite at an alarming speed. Well, not so alarming if you are Hifumi and Doppo that is. By now, all of the hospital staffs at the hospital has been well accustomed to the pair sudden hospital visits due to the famous host. They also were well aware of their complicated situation and they knew that the pair would immediately go to Jakurai's room for any medical help. And that is how the married couple ended up in Jakurai's room with the esteemed doctor busying himself with washing the deep cut on Hifumi's left arm before bandaging the injury.

"There. This should be fine but don't forget to change the bandages everyday," Jakurai stated with a warm smile once he finished bandaging the wound. Hifumi looked at his bandaged arm and gave the doctor a toothy smile while the redhead beside him let out a loud groan.

"Sorry about my husband sensei....,"

"Heheh!! Thanks a bunch sensei!! You help a lot!!"

"Hifumi-kun we're at the hospital right now, please use your indoor voice,"

"Eheheh~ sorry sensei,"

"Can you stop embarrassing me in front of sensei already?!!" Doppo let out a screech, feeling so done with his husband. The older between the pair let out a loud, tired groan. Doppo started to muttered out on how sucks he is in everything, on how his boss told him to work on his gloomy  expression at work even though that is his normal resting face, or how Hifumi might get bored over seeing his boring, gloomy face everyday without rest, the fact that Hifumi being loud, his brother failing his exam and the fact that the day rained was also thanks to him. The air filled with Dopo's gloominess to the point you can see the dark cloud surrounding him. Like a sun appearing after a big storm, Hifumi latched his uninjured hand around Doppo's shoulder.

"Doppo-kun, what did I say about having negative thoughts about yourself,"

"Aww Doppochin!! Don't be like that. You know I'll never get tired of you no matter what,"  and with that, Hifumi peck Doppo's cheek earning an embarrassed yelp from his husband.

"Hi-HIFUMI!!!! NOT IN FRONT OF SENSEI!!"

"It's nothing to worry about Doppo-kun. Is this about Hifumi-kun's stalker again?"

"As sharp as ever aren't cha sensei!! Yep! Yep!! You're not wrong!!"

"Yeah, she's one of those kind who brings a knife around apparently. She stabbed Hifumi first but then she tried to kill me before Hifumi interfere," Doppo explained but the other 2 knew that he's currently holding back his anger, seething silently in his seat.

A knock on the door has caused the 3 adults in the room to snapped their head towards the clinic's door. A male Beta in white nurse uniform could be seen standing in front of the slightly ajar door. A small smile could be seen on his face as he told Jakurai that the Alpha doctor still has a few more appointments before his shift ends. The doctor nodded his head before informing the nurse that he will be done with these 2 in a jiffy.

Hifumi let out a sigh of relief when he saw the male nurse depart. Thank god that Jakurai has grown accustomed to his fear of women and always put a sign on his door that no female nurses are allowed to enter whenever they come for a visit. The pair stood up, taking the other male departure as a que for them to leave the esteemed doctor.

"I'll see you guys later then. I might have to ask a certain family for this matter of finding your stalker Hifumi-kun," Jakurai informed while he escorted the married pair to the door. Hifumi's eyes brighten at Jakurai's statement.

"Ouh!! The Yamada bros! It's been awhile since we last met them, ne Doppochin?" the blonde exclaimed excitedly as he nudged his husband with his unhurt arm. The redhead rolled his eyes but smiled nonetheless. After the accident that happened to the Yamada family 4 years ago, the married couple has embraced them as part of their family. I mean, who doesn't want to adopt those 3 with 3 additional angels, right? The pair and the doctor have always tried to lessen their financial burden in any form possible (Hey, it's not easy to raise 2 little brothers and 3 kids on their own) and whenever they have this kind of problem, they would ask the 3 brothers. It's not like they are biased or anything but they adults knew just how much those 3 are capable of. And they did an amazing job at a very short time. A very good service if you ask them.

"That's because we've been busy almost all year long, idiot," the redhead counter while elbowing his husband's face.

"Eheheh~ You're right, you're right~. Well then! We'll take our leave sensei!"

"Sorry for disturbing you during your work hour,"

"Ah, sensei! Say our thanks to the Yamada, okay?"

Jakurai let a small smile grace his face as the pair went out. They are indeed interesting...

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

The next night, the married couple and the doctor meet up again at the cheap hotel where Jiro had been just a mere hours ago. Jakurai handed a brown file to Doppo which contained all the information on the stalker.

"They managed to track her down to this place in one day again?" Doppo read the information in amazement. No matter how many times he sees it, the Yamada family is indeed incredible.

"Amazing as always aren't they?" Hifumi said with a fond smile on his face. Doppo replied with a hum.

"Eeeeh? The top floor? What a bother,"

"Sensei, I'm staying down here, is that alright?" Doppo informed the Jakurai as he shoved back all the papers back inside the brown file. The Alpha doctor gave the redhead a nod.

"You have something in mind don't you? Go ahead. I'll go to the top floor with Hifumi-kun,"

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Jakurai knocked on the door at 1010. A woman could be seen peaking her head out of the door once it's opened. Jakurai caught a glimpse of her scent and noted that she's an Alpha. He gave her a smile before introducing himself.

"I am Jinguji Jakurai, a doctor from Shinjuku Central Hospital. Izanami Hifumi-kun requested me to come here,"

"Hifumi-kun... sent you?" the woman asked carefully but once she saw Hifumi standing beside the doctor, she knew that the older man spoke of the truth.

"I'm glad that you came out here. May I come in?"

The woman ushered away from the door so that she could unlock the door. She let both Alphas inside the apartment. Both of them took in the view of the apartment. The apartment was filled with writings of Hifumi's name and words that the other belongs to her. Both Alphas looked unfazed by the display. They took in the scent inside the room. the woman's scent is mixed with something metallic. So she wrote those with her blood ( if the bandages around her hands and arms are not obvious enough).

"Why did Hifumi-kun send such a famous person like you just to see me?"

"Oh? You've heard of me?"

The woman scoffed. There isn't anyone in the whole country that doesn't know Jinguji Jakurai or famously known with his MC name; ill-DOC alongside his ex-teammates in TDD. So sure. She isn't THAT dumb to not know them.

"Then you know I am an MC who uses my lyrics to heal people, right?

Hifumi-kun has asked me to treat you," Jakurai explained calmly with a small smile still plastering on his divine face. The woman looked at him in surprised.

"....treat me?"

"Your feelings for him may have deviated from what is appropriate," the esteemed doctor continued to explain. He saw the woman start to tremble and ramble slowly.

"Hmm? I'm sorry. I can't hear you we-,"

"DON"T MAKE FUN OF ME!!!" the woman screamed on top of her lungs. Her pheromones filled the room, her eyes turned red.

"You're calling my feelings for Hifumi-kun is an illness?!!"

"...please calm down. I have no intention of harming you or anything of the sort. I have come to help you," Jakurai pondered for a while before trying to explain to the Alpha in front of him. He doesn't deter when the harsh pheromones spiked ( being a hitman taught him that. Besides, he's pretty good at keeping his Alpha instinct away from doing his job)

"SHUT UP! MY LOVE FOR HIM IS GENUINE! I'M NOT LIKE THOSE ORDINARY BITCHES!!"

"Jakurai sensei! Are you alright?!!" Hifumi asked the doctor, sensing the danger in their current situation. Somehow he thanks all the gods out there that Doppo is not here. He doesn't want to see those 2 fights. Don't get him wrong. Doppo can pretty much fight any Alphas but the Alpha in Hifumi doesn't like the idea of his mate being out in danger.

"Ah! Hifumi-kun!"

"I knew you actually loved me and would come for me! Let me kill you! Then I'll kill myself too! And then our love will be perfect for eternity!

"If it is this little kitten wish that I cease exist... I would happily hand my life over to you. But at the same time, it is so simple to choose to die.. but it is not the right choice... I think the option of living is more challenging,"

"I will also help you get better so... won't you please put down that knife for me?"

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"AAAAAAAAH!!!!! YOU'RE MAKING FUN OF ME AREN'T YOU?!!!! WHAT'S THIS ' GETTING BETTER'?!!! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT MY FEELINGS ARE AN ILLNESS-,"

"I'LL KILL YOU!!! I'LL KILL YOU AND PROVE MY FEELINGS TO YOU!!!" the woman lashed out as she sped herself towards Hifumi, the bloody kitchen knife was held tightly by her side. Sensing the danger, Jakurai quickly switched on his mic. He rapped through each verse smoothly. The woman staggered when the verses of rap hit her eardrums. She screamed, cupping her ears tightly. The screaming continued until Jakurai hit the last verse and the woman collapsed. Hifumi ran towards the woman and softly cradling her. The woman's eyes snapped open after a while and the woman looked at Hifumi weakly. Hifumi told her how glad he is that she isn't harmed anymore. The woman started to tear up before standing up abruptly. She cried out on how she is unworthy of Hifumi's love and attention before proceed to throw herself through the window. Alarmed by the sudden movement, Hifumi ran after and also threw himself through the window. This has also caused the esteemed doctor to be alarmed and tried to catch both of them before falling off to the ground. He managed to catch Hifumi who was holding the woman by her arms. Jinguji Jakurai is a strong man but trying to hold 22 adults with one hand might be an overkill. The older man tried to pull the 2 adults but the sheer strength of their weight does not allowed him to and the hem of Hifumi's jacket in his hold started to slip off his fingers and eventually, it did.

Jakurai's eyes widened in shock as the adults fell from the high building down to the ground. The woman looked at Hifumi in surprise. Surprised that he didn't let her go despite what she had done but Hifumi could only give her a smile stating that he won't let her get harmed. The pair closed their eyes tightly, waiting for the harsh impact on the hard ground below but it never came. Instead, they fell on a soft, airy-like mattress.

"An... air mattress?" Hifumi exclaimed in surprise. The texture of the mattress felt soft against his skin. He let out a big genuine smile. No words are needed to tell Hifumi who had done this. Seriously. There was only one person in Hifumi's life that would take this kind of precaution. Assuming every single bad possibility that might've happened to him before taking the best countermeasure. Ah~ how much he loves his husband. The woman lay motionless beside Hifumi. The steady breathing from the woman indicate that she just fainted. Maybe due to exhaustion.

"Good grief. You are one stupid man, Izanami Hifumi. It's good to have shelter against every storm... You owe me another favour, Hifumi!"

"It seems that I owe you another huge favour, huh?"

Hifumi scooted down from the air mattress so that he could snatch a quick peck on the lips from his husband. A surprised gasp left Doppo's lip while his face turned beet red due to the sudden affection. But it only took Doppo a few seconds to harden his expression once again.

"Just because you kissed me it doesn't mean that I've fully forgiven you. You know that and so as a penalty," Hifumi gulped. Please let it  not be what he thinks he is going to say. He closed his eyes tightly when Doppo opened his mouth.

"I'll be sleeping with Kento for a whole week and that's final. Go sleep in the bedroom by yourself,"  at that moment, Hifumi's heart sank. Oh dear. Doppo is mad at him. He knew that tone and punishment all too well. Sleeping in the bedroom alone?!! Without his favourite husband and heater?!! No!!

Jakurai let out the breath that he didn't realise that he'd been holding. He watched the pair from afar, an amuse smile make its way on his lips when he saw Hifumi kept on apologising to Doppo but the redhead just decided to make himself deaf by walking away from his clingy husband. Yes. He made his decision. He will recruit them.

Years of spending his time with them has proven how interesting the pair to him. Besides, he had seen them rapping before, and he knew that both men are equally strong. He had no doubt that they would be an amazing MC in the future if they are trained well.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Jakurai offered to send them home later that night using his car, which both of them gladly accepted. Once they arrived at their apartment complex, they saw a man standing in front of their apartment house, a duffel bag on his back and a child standing next to him. The child was wiping his eyes groggily, a sign that he's sleepy but holding back his drowsiness so that he can greet his parents. Doppo was the first to scoop the child into a hug earning a sudden yelp from the boy. The older man buries his nose on top of his son's hair, inhaling his scent.

"Kaa-san! Sto-! I gave up..," Kento cried out but gave up anyway since he knew that this is his mom's way of recharging himself. Kento let out a tired huff. Well, if he can help to ease his mom's severe negativity vibe with hugs and kisses from him... he can live with this. Besides, hugs are common among their circle of friends so Kento doesn't mind getting hugged.

"Kazuhachin!! Thanks a bunch for taking care of Kento for the week!" Hifumi exclaimed happily towards the brown haired Beta but before Hifumi could even get close to him, the other man flicked Hifumi's forehead. Hard.

"What are you talking about Hifumi-kun? No need to thank me. I'm just doing my job taking care of Kento. We had a very good trip , right?" the man with light brown hair cried out with a huff. Kazuha bent down so that can communicate better with Kento who was currently being held tightly by his mother. The boy could only nod at his caretaker's question. The pair and the child said their byes to Kazuha before he went back home.

"Did you do something dumb again, dad?" Kento asked with a straight face when he saw his mom went straight to his room instead of their own room. They just came back and Kento knew that both him and his mom are so dead tired and just want to go straight to bed but when he noticed one of his parents went to his room instead of their shared bedroom, Kento knew that his dad did something that made his mom mad. Or annoyed. Kento gazes into his father's sweatdropped face. Yeah, he did something dumb for sure.

"Whatever. I'm going to bed now," Kento exclaimed nonchalantly before going to his bedroom,leaving his dad alone in the hallway. Kento scoffed when he heard his dad whine. He knew that his dad would also sneak into his bed in the middle of the night when he thought that both his mom and he were already fast asleep. He doesn't dislike it though. Midnight cuddles are always welcome. Especially when both of his parents are there. Who cares if he is 10 years old? Kids can enjoy this kinds of indulgement right? Beside, he's lucky that both of his parents are present in his life. He should be grateful for that at least.

With those thoughts in mind, Kento went straight to bed and slotted himself into his mother's embrace in which the Beta warmly reciprocated. Both male fell immediately into slumber and both of them didn't budge when an arm wrapped protectively over the pair.

Author's Note

Well, well! You reached the end of Chapter 3 part 1!! How was it? Is it bad? What's your opinion about Kento? And for your information Kento name is very coincidental, ok?!! I just thought " Izanami Kento' sounded nice and NOT because it's Doppo seiyuu's name (Ito Kento) ok?

Yes, for anime watcher, I add Kazuha in this fic cause I find it very unfair on how they did Kazuha in the anime. So instead, in this AU, Kazuha worked as Kento's caretaker cause why not?

Should I make a whole chapter explaining my whole ABO verse AU cause thinks will get complicated (maybe)? Well, please comments and tell me cause comments are my source of motivations. Like literally.

Oh! And eheh.. another reason why I've been so busy lately (aside from my self-hating agenda) is that my little sister(the one who helped me with this fic) decided to drag me into Kpop and gotta have to say.. I'm not against it. It's quite funny since it took me years of being an otaku and then suddenly I'm a kpop lover too. Now my brain decided to jumble all the Japanese phrases I used with Korean phrases as well. I find it veeeery funny cause my brain can't choose between ' pabo' and ' baka' so I ended up using both anyway. I'm an ARMY, MOA and ENGENE now. Who could've thought. Not 16 years old me of course. 💜💙❤️
