The first thing that Jeno feels when he regains his consciousness is the uncomfortable pain on his lower body and the excruciating headache.

The sun almost practically blinds him if he hadn't turn to his side and was greeted by Jaemin's sleeping face. His soft snores made Jeno chuckle quietly.

A few seconds of staring at Jaemin, the latter finally blinks awake, eyebrows furrowed for a moment until he adjusts his vision.

Instead of the usual good morning greetings, Jaemin asks him immediately, "how are you feeling?" Meeting Jeno's droopy eyes.

The ravenette boy scrunches his nose in instinct, "tired, like really tired– and in pain... And it's not just my head..." Blushing at his own choice of words.

Jaemin merely smiles, hand gently running up and down on Jeno's back. "Sorry about that." Gaze changing as he frowns, "I understand if you're mad at me."

"Why would I be mad at you?" Jeno snorts, finding it ridiculous.

"Last night, we..."

Hearing him trailing off, Jeno doesn't miss the chance to stop him. "If you're thinking I'll be mad at you for that, I'm not. Because I asked and wanted for it to happen."

"I gave you consent too."

"Not a hundred percent sober though..."

"You're right." Jeno almost breaks out laughing from Jaemin's immediate terrified look, "I was so horny."

"What have I done to you." Jaemin sighs dramatically, easing up thanks to Jeno reassuring him everything is all good.

"You could say that night was really wild." Jeno giggles to himself.

Jaemin rolls his eyes, "more like you were the wild one." Jeno then weakly kicks his foot.

"We should dress up and head down to have breakfast now." Jaemin kisses his lips softly, "as much as I would love to cuddle with you longer, I'm pretty sure one of the guys are going to barge in soon."

"I was about to barge in on you guys." Donghyuck says, more like whines at them once they step foot in the kitchen.

Renjun shakes his head at him, flashing the couple a kind smile as he hands them a glass of water and painkillers.

"Glad he didn't, he has to help me clean the backyard after this." Yangyang snickers, mouth full of rice.

They sat down and thank Renjun for the breakfast, Mark babbles about some guy he talked to last night as Yangyang teases him all while.

Meanwhile, Donghyuck, despite the hangover, targets Jeno again. "How was your night, doll?" Smirking with the corner of his mouth smeared with ketchup.

Jaemin huffs and was about to answer for them, but Jeno beats him to it. "It was good for my first time..." Realizing his choice of words, he cringes.

Donghyuck's eyes practically sparkle as the others look at the two of them both curiously and teasingly.

"What was?"

"The party..." Jeno knows what's about to come, but he didn't expect for Donghyuck to be on point.

"Are you sure you're referring to the party or your little steamy love making in the guest room?"

"Hyuck!" Jaemin yells at him. He has the audacity to cackle in response.

"You heard us?" Jeno shrieks, shoulders up to his ears while he attempts to pathetically shrink himself on the spot.

Smirking at Jeno's blushing state and Jaemin's protective instincts, he shrugs in nonchalance. "You're pretty loud, Jen."

"Didn't know you were a wild one." Donghyuck obviously meant it as a joke, hence why Jeno didn't seemed bothered by it.

But Jaemin however, is assuming Jeno was the same as before whenever this topic is brought up in front of other people besides the two of them: prudish.

"We didn't do it!" Jeno doesn't know why, but he instinctively denies as if there was still a chance to defend himself.

There really isn't.

"Right, so I didn't just hear you moaning so loud–"

"We went to third base." Jaemin grits his teeth, glaring holes at Donghyuck. "Stop bothering him." Jeno pats Jaemin's thigh to sooth him.

It's not that Jeno's uncomfortable with the topic of anything sexual– he isn't anymore.

It's just the affect Donghyuck effortlessly has on him whenever he teases him, even if it's just light ones.

"Jeez, someone's cranky in the morning after a wild night at a birthday party. Said someone wasn't even drunk." Donghyuck mutters as he gulps down his orange juice.

"Did Jaemin ever tell you what happened before that?" Now it was Yangyang's turn receiving Jaemin's death glare.

Tilting his head to the side as he swallows his food, Jeno raises a brow at them, obviously curious of the mentioned incident.

"It's better to tell him," Renjun says with his back turned, busy washing his and Mark's dirty dishes. "Not like it's something to be even ashamed of."

Jaemin sighs in defeat, Renjun has a point. Clicking his tongue, he mutters out, "some guy was eyeing you."

"Jaemin was basically jealous." Donghyuck butts in once again.

"I wasn't just jealous!" Jaemin huffs at him. "I was mad because that guy had the guts to still approach us and think he still has a chance with Jeno even after seeing us together."

"Mm, I agree." Mark hums attentively, sobered up now as he decides to be quiet for a while due to tiredness.

"Jeno got himself a jealous and protective boyfriend, didn't know he was into that shit." Donghyuck then yelps when he gets kicked from under the table.

Jeno nudges Jaemin with a frown, the latter rolling his eyes before muttering a pathetic apology as he finishes his breakfast.

"Anyways, yeah there was this pervert last night about to come up to you. Luckily your boyfriend over there wasn't stupid and dragged your ass away." Yangyang says.

"Speaking of ass," Jaemin pinches the bridge of his nose at Donghyuck's unstoppable strings of teases. "Jeno, you're limping around. You good, bud?"

"You know why, babe. Please spare the poor boy today." Renjun shakes his head as he puts an end to Donghyuck's antics with a knowing tone.

Jaemin flashes him a thankful smile as they changed the topic, their morning went smoothly from there.

When Yangyang and Donghyuck head to the backyard to start cleaning up, Jaemin excuses his and Jeno's leave. Apologizing for not being able to help this time.

Jeno briefly explains to them as to why with two words: controlling grandparents.

Without further ado, they share a quick hug, greeting Renjun one last happy birthday and promising to hopefully hangout more soon before walking out.

Thoughts???

This is obviously a filler chapter lmao

Just before the storm arrives ;)

And I low-key wanted to give Renjun some scenes or whatever for obvious reasons :p

And I just couldn't help but give Jaemin the jealous and protective boyfriend arc.
