i just love how you guys are stating your own point at the last chap. can i have some braincells—

❝f-fuck.❞

chenle shut his eyes tight as he held the sides of the toilet, having his head almost fitting inside as he was letting everything he just ate last night out. he already had tears falling down from his eyes aggressively but he can't have his sobs get even louder.

he was scared that he might wake his roommate—

"hey, le? is everything alright in there?"

and he had already did.

it was an ungodly hour of six in the morning and he was supposed to make breakfast for him and his roommate but his stomach started to react. it didn't take him a second to rush to the bathroom and start vomiting. he was now seated down the cold floor while still gripping on to the sides of the toilet.

pressing a hand on his tummy, chenle gathered the strength left to nod his head. ❝i-i'm fine.❞

in truth, he was far from fine. he didn't want to jump in to conclusions why he's feeling nauseous all of a sudden, why his head was spinning around, and why he can't even open his eyes wide. his breathing was getting heavier as each minute passes by and it has already been an hour since he locked himself inside the bathroom.

by this time, the two of them would already start getting ready for school. chenle had no idea how worried the beta is outside, hearing vomits and gagging noises inside the bathroom.

❝g-ge..❞ the younger male suffering inside then slapped a hand over his mouth, another resting on his tummy. he closed his eyes and took deep breaths before he could finally compose himself for the next minute. ❝i m-might take l-long.. can you—❞

sadly, even if he forced himself not to, he still continued to vomit and didn't get to finish his sentence.

fortunately for him, xiaojun had already understood it and he didn't need to explain more. "i'll be going down to hendery's room, then." he said, still pressing an ear to the door to hear what's going on inside the bathroom. "would you want me to buy anything? drinks, medicines?"

chenle first bit his bottom lip to quiet down his sobs, having to take a good minute before he could answer him. ❝it's a-alright,❞ he reassured him, knowing how worried the beta can be. ❝it's just an i-indigestion.❞

because xiaojun was actually right. the moment he got back at the dorms, he was greeted with chenle crying his heart out on his bed. since food can heal a person's heart, the beta quickly went out and bought all of the snacks and guessed what the omega's favorites are. he even bought two tubs of ice cream for the younger male. what he didn't expect thought was to see him finish all of it on his own, maybe he really was that gloomy to have finished all of it while crying.

what annoyed xiaojun last night is how the pure blooded kept on knocking on their door and that he wanted to talk with the omega. the beta, knowing chenle isn't ready for it yet, nicely shoo-ed jisung away and told him that he'd open up if he's ready to. for now, all they had to do was give him time.

xiaojun heaved out a sigh, shaking his head. "if you need something, don't hesitate to call, alright?"

all chenle could do was nod even though the older couldn't see him, having to vomit again for the nth time already. maybe eating the of the food and snacks last night all at once is a bad idea. his attention now then went to the footsteps outside and when it started to fade away, the male couldn't help but have himself almost dropped down the floor. ❝what is happening?❞

he was so sure his stomach could tolerate any food he would eat even if he would do it all at once. this has never happened before in the past, making him grow nervous at the possibilities of what's happening to him. he lowered his head down at his hands that are the only thing that's propping him up. sooner or later, his tears started to fall down to his hands.

❝n-no..❞ he struggled to push himself up to stand by managed to nonetheless. he flushed the toilet filled with his barf and went over to the sink, washing his face that showed how wasted he is. he got bags under his eyes, his hair was all messed up with some strands sticking to his sweaty forehead, his lips was swollen and quivering, and his eyes were bloodshot all puffed. he looked like he hasn't been getting much sleep when he could remember sleeping after eating and crying last night.

he didn't even get to help xiaojun clean the place that's filled with bags of chips, tubs of ice cream placed everywhere, and food scattered down the ground.

❝i took i-it..❞ with a deep breath in hopes to collect himself, chenle lifted his hand up and placed it on his tummy. he rubbed gentle circles as he stared at his reflection on the mirror by the sink. ❝this c-can't be happening.❞

placing both his hands down the sides of the sink, his head kept on shaking as if he wasn't believing on what was going on at this moment.

not the right time to think about it but, he felt bad for making it look like it was completely the pure blooded's fault. aside for being pressured to keep the life inside him, nothing would have really happened if it weren't for chenle letting the omega in him get the best of him during that specific night. he could see how the younger was doing his best to be in control but because of how desperate he was in being claimed, he just had to give himself up to his omega.

the memory is still vague but he could have sworn that he was the one who forced him to knot inside, the pure blooded was in his climax and didn't get enough strength left to pull out.

❝i..❞ crouching down the ground, chenle hugged his legs and started to sniffled from his cries and sobs. ❝shouldn't have took it.❞

he was scared, truly, but it's because of how he'd be able to deal with his family. how to approach them and say them that he had a life inside of him that he will be taking care of. but seeing those eyes, the pure blooded's eyes, he felt guilty. chenle knew he was willing to take responsibility, to do everything for him, and doing this might look like he didn't appreciate any of his efforts. but aside from all that, a small part of him that was being pushed away from all problems actually didn't mind having a family with the pure blooded.

it actually even crossed his mind once because of how jisung would always tease him, obviously showing how excited he is. they'd surely be having a happy family. with a child that they are going to take very good care of, give love to, and knowing jisung, the child would probably also get spoiled by him. if that's going to happen, chenle was going to to make sure that their pup wouldn't go to the same path as him. that the child won't have to worry about living his life because he wouldn't be controlled like how the omega has been. he was going to make sure that he'd be able to give his family love, far different from how his parents are treating him.

but he didn't get to think of that for so long because of how he's more of being clouded with fear, too scared in everything to even look on the bright side.

❝i can't believe i'm thinking of this now.❞ chenle groaned both in pain and in annoyance as he stood up, just regretting his life decisions when it has already been done.

forcing himself back up, he opened the cupboards and widened his eyes at what he saw.

a pregnancy test.

right, it was when they went out to buy gifts for the baby shower. he managed to lie to jisung and let him wait while he goes inside the nearest pharmacy saying to him that he'd just buy a medicine because his head has been hurting. he actually bought a pregnancy test for some reason that can probably be used now but what did chenle did?

close back the cupboards and act like he didn't see it. feeling like he was slowly getting better, he ran a hand through his hair and slowly opened the door. ❝i should start getting ready, i'm going to be late.❞

which in the end, he did.

just when he had already wore his uniform and was in the middle of eating his breakfast, his stomach started to act up once again and he had to spend his time inside the bathroom for another two hours of crying and groaning. but even with a painful morning, he still had the determination left to attend classes.

probably the wrong decision he made but what's the worse that can happen?

well, lucky for him, there were no students roaming around as they were in their classes. actually, there were some and chenle couldn't help but have his brows furrowed at how they were distancing themselves from him. not to mention how their nose were scrunched when he passed by. he suspected that it might be his scent but he actually blocked it this morning after knowing that obvious that jisung won't be there to scent him.

but then, passing by the staffs that he tried to greet were also scrunching their nose. this made him think, did he not take a bath?

could they possibly still smell his vomit? but he brushed his teeth and even drank a lot of water.

not minding them, he continued to make his way to his class at that hour. clicking his tongue, he first stopped by at the nearest wall and leaned to there. ❝hm..❞ his hand quickly made its way to his tummy and caressed it softly, having no idea as to why his instincts told him to do that.

still not feeling well, chenle forced himself to continue walking until he can finally see the room where his class is. his breathing started to hitch as he placed his hand over the door, slamming his forehead as he almost blacked out for a moment.

bad idea, ❝i should have stayed at t-the dorms.❞ he grumbled.

but since he was already there, might as well attend classes till he can't anymore. with a painful groan, he slid open the door and was greeted by students and also the professor looking at him. usually, they won't mind with anyone coming late but they couldn't help but just put their attention to chenle.

it might be because of how awful he looked, or his scent that's going around the room that's making them scrunch their nose.

a specific one though, harshly stood up from his seat and made a loud thud that caused for everyone to flinch. with his sight getting blurry, all chenle did was stare at him as he strode towards him. now that he was in front of him, covering him up from everyone's eyes, the omega placed both his hands on his chest and attempted to push him away but instead, he clutched on to his uniform as he went back to whining because of the pain. ❝j-ji..❞

being worried and also having to be responsible with their students, the professor had to drop the lesson and also place his book down the desk only to ask with worry in his tone, ❝chenle, is everything—❞

but he was being stopped by a loud growl that echoed inside the room, having some turning their head side to side to see if others felt the building shake for a second.

it was jisung, he caused it.

the pure blooded turned around to them and sent glares of sharp knives to each one of them who are giving his omega a look. he then darted his intent gaze at the professor who gulped at how the student looked more different than ever.

noticing the deadly scent that jisung was releasing to them, chenle tried to put a stop to it by lightly smacking his chest. he was still breathing heavily and he didn't even know when he can last till his legs would give up on him. ❝n-no, don't.❞

the pure blooded turned to him and their eyes locked for a short moment until the omega slowly closed his eyes and now had his body giving up, falling towards the younger who fortunately caught him. being conscious for a short moment, chenle could feel himself being lifted up on the ground and the last thing he heard was a deep growl before he completely passed out and not knowing what happened next.

nor where he was brought to.

⚠️

no sound being heard, chenle furrowed his brows in worry. he first whined at how he wasn't laying down at his usual bed before slowly fluttering his eyes open, seeing a white ceiling that alarmed him. this wasn't the dorms, neither was this his old apartment. being fully awake, his eyes diverted to his hand and his uneven breathing started to calm down when he saw a familiar warmth holding it tight.

his lips was about to curve up to a smile but his frown only deepened when he saw who was there with him, sitting down at the space on the small bed.

❝are you felling well now?❞ the person asked, his voice sounding groggy and hoarse as if he was just crying.

chenle first stared at him for a good minute and notice how his eyes were puffed, maybe he really was crying. ❝jisung, where am i?❞

❝hospital.❞

widening his eyes, the omega was stopped from trying to sit down. he was about to take his hand from the pure blooded's hold but when he had done it, jisung held it even tighter.

and then it came, the tears in his eyes started rolling down. ❝why did you lie?❞

honestly having no clue what he was talking about, but he had a guess on what probably it is, chenle planned to avoid that question. ❝why did you bring me here?❞

seeing him look away hurt jisung so much, he can't even look at him in the eye. running a hand through his hair stressfully, the omega had no idea what he went through while bringing him here. ❝i was worried, chenle! you passed out right in front of me and—❞ the smaller figure then froze from his seat when he felt a pair of arms pulling him in and hugging him tight, the younger's head being buried on his shoulder as he continued to cry. ❝i'm just glad you're still here. i don't know what i'd possibly do if i would lose you.❞

hearing him cry gave chenle a hard time to keep his emotions at the back of his throat. but the attempt he made failed when he couldn't help but also engulf the the pure blooded to an embrace, a tight one, as he was deeply thankful for having him always for the rescue. ❝j-jisung, i'm sorry. i d-did not k-know..❞

even if he was still in tears, the taller male pulled away and prioritized in hushing the omega's cries down. ❝lele.❞

❝it j-just happened t-this morning and i t-thought it was just an i-indigestion but i w-was wrong and i..❞

jisung only nodded his head, hearing every single word he said while wiping his tears using his thumb. he then made hand gestures in telling him that he should first take a deep breath in before speaking as he looked like he was going to hyperventilate any minute now.

❝i'm sorry f-for making it l-look like it was your fault.❞ helping the younger up, chenle was also wiping his own tears by bringing his shaking hands up and used the sleeves of his uniform. ❝j-ji, we should h-have talked it o-out before i m-made a decision.❞

❝shh, i just got to know what i have done wrong.❞ jisung leaned forward and then pressed their foreheads together, closing his eyes as all he wanted to hear was the older's breathing and also his whines in trying to stop crying. ❝i shouldn't have pressured you into something you still are not ready. i really just got excited at the thought of having a family with you that i forgot to ask what you'd think about it. i should have known better and tried to understand you more. i'm sorry, lele.❞

chenle pressed his lips into a thin line he was this near to breaking down right in front of the pure blooded who's admitting his mistakes. he, too, had made a mistake of hastily making a decision without talking it out with the younger male. it now came to the point that it looked like it's his mistake when actually, it's both of theirs.

jisung pulled an inch away and showed a small smile at the older male that's growing silent. he then neared closer once more just to settle a soft peck on his lips, snapping the omega back to his senses. ❝i called my mom over and she's now talking to the doctor that did a check up on you. she's here as your guardian.❞

this is too much, jisung was doing so much for him. still having their hands being locked together, the shorter male tightened his grip as he was holding himself back from sobbing out loud. being here at this place could only mean one thing yet, it's still hard for chenle to believe. ❝am i really..❞

actually, the pure blooded was supposed to be feeling happy and excited right now but what this situation they had, he didn't know what to feel anymore. but for the sake of the older, he knew he had to understand his decisions. ❝you are.❞

and he was holding himself back from scolding the omega. he just found out that the cause of him passing out was being stressed out these past days.

the omega winced in surprised when he felt a hand on his tummy and as he looked at it, it was jisung's. the younger gently caressed the spot, making chenle look up and see that genuine smile on his face. he then felt his heart being crumpled to pieces when he could see how broken that smile is, and how his eyes were filled with sadness.

❝i'm here now,❞ those eyes then met chenle's, making the omega forget to breathe for a second. ❝we can talk about it.❞

chenle didn't get it. he could have sworn he drank the pills but then, this might be the second chance he was given despite of not knowing that he wanted it. taking the pure blooded's hand, the older male looked at him straight in the eye, ❝would you want to keep it?❞

the question made jisung let out a broken chuckle. ❝chenle, you already know my answer.❞ he told him. taking his hand away, he brushed the omega's messed up hair and then gave a long kiss on top of his forehead. ❝this time, i'm respecting your decisions. it'll be hard for me but i'm going to support you and you don't have to worry about me because whatever your answer is, i'll always be here for you.❞

❝i'm keeping it.❞

the answer caused the pure blooded to move away to see if there's any chance that he was playing around. ❝chenle, i'm serious.❞ he said, taking his hand and kissing the back of it. ❝i'm not here to pressure you in keeping the—❞

❝and i'm also serious.❞ the omega showed no hint of a lie in his tone, neither was his eyes showing that he was lying. ❝you'd b-be here f-for me, right?❞

sure, he's scared of what his parents are going to say to this. also, he's also scared of dealing with the responsibilities and not to mention that he'll be the one to carry it. but being scared is holding him back in looking at the bright side and thinking about it, jisung is there with him. he's not alone and he won't be dealing with this alone.

❝if this is the case then chenle, you have to skip for a year.❞

the two males then turned their heads to the side only to see a woman standing there, crossing her arms as she stared down at the two of them. chenle was scared that he'd get scolded for making this decision all of a sudden even though the past weeks were him thinking about taking a life away. jisung felt the omega's distress and it made him scoot closer to the shorter male and release his pheromones that would calm him down.

the woman saw the sight but still hold herself back from cooing as she knew this was a serious situation they were in. ❝chenle, are you really sure what you're doing?❞

standing up, still holding his omega's hand, jisung wanted to stop his own mom from scaring the older. ❝mom, as i said, i'm taking responsibility and—❞

❝i'm not asking you, jisung.❞ because she knew very well that her son can handle it and is very willing to take responsibility. despite of the age he is in and the crazy ideas he had in mind, he knew when to act mature if he wants to. ❝chenle, are you sure you're willing to go all through this? it's going to be tough ride.❞

both of their eyes now went to the omega. jisung sat back down and placed a hand on his cheek, rubbing his thumb gently on it as he wanted to reassure the older that whatever he was going to say, he's going to support it.

closing his eyes, chenle first cleared his thoughts and tried to collect himself. it took him a minute to do that before finally fluttering his eyes open and surprised the pure blooded with a kiss on his lips. that's when he showed a smile and turned to the woman who's patiently waiting for his answer. ❝i am, mrs. park.❞

she first pulled off a bored expression before letting out her inner self and started squealing like a teenage girl. jisung rolled his eyes as he couldn't believe he was seeing this side of his mother. the woman then covered her mouth as she noticed that she got too excited. clearing her throat, she passed the omega a soft and endearing smile. ❝well then, i'll take care of your education.❞ she told him, ❝you can be home schooled for the mean time.❞

chenle widened his eyes at the offer. ❝mrs. park, you don't really have to—❞

❝chenle, i insist.❞ she then said, cutting him off. ❝and you don't have to feel like a burden to us because you are not. we love you, you're part of our family now.❞

the word that he's been wanting to hear then rolled out from her tongue that easily, making him turn emotional at her statement. ❝t-thank you..❞ he sniffled, bringing his hands up just to wipe his tears. jisung then watched him and also helped in wiping his tears, smiling at how the male was slowly starting to open up for them.

but there's one thing that the mother wanted to bring up. ❝chenle, who told you those were birth control pills!?❞ she exclaimed.

actually, she had no idea the omega was pregnant until now. her son suddenly called her saying that chenle was at the hospital and so, she hurried her way there. she got to talk to the young pure blooded who was crying outside a room where the omega was being checked up on and he told her everything they went through. being asked for the omega's guardian, she quickly stepped forward and went to the doctor and that's when she knew the male had a life forming inside him.

it first had to be processed inside her head for a while but hearing them outside while they were discussing about it made her think that maybe they can handle it. if not, she was there to help them with it. if, that is, the two were willing to take the rough ride.

❝e-eh?❞ chenle then blinked his eyes twice, looking dumbfounded along with jisung.

shaking her head, she buried her face on the palm of her hand. ❝those were painkillers.❞ she explained. ❝i just thought that your body was still hurting but if it didn't then it was your choice not to take it.❞

❝t-those were..❞ knowing that somehow relieved chenle, having his hand on his tummy to reassure the life forming inside him that he won't be making such decision ever again. ❝i'm glad.❞ he then turned towards the pure blooded who was as happy as him, it showed in that wide smile of his. ❝j-jisung—❞

he was cut off when the younger male threw his body towards him and gave him the most tightest hug. ❝fuck, i l-love you so much.❞

❝are you crying?❞

puffing his cheeks, jisung shook his head as he snuggled at the crook of the older's neck. ❝i'm not!❞

giggling at how he denied it, the omega then used the baby card on him. the pure blooded has been using this a lot and he wanted to try. ❝baby, look, daddy is crying.❞

jisung immediately pulled away and wiped his tears as fast as flash, pointing at his face who was still obvious that he had been crying but the tears were now wiped away. ❝no, daddy is not crying.❞

❝baby, daddy is lying.❞

❝papa is playing with me! baby, scold your papa!❞

chenle laughed at his reaction but the next moment, tears were starting to fall. now, it was his turn to be a crying mess and jisung, despite of getting worried for him, he just held the older's hand and brushed a hand over his hair. the omega couldn't help but frown knowing that the pure blooded has something to say but was hesitant to do so. ❝a-are you n-not going to g-get mad at me?❞

pausing from his place, the pure blooded widened his eyes at what the omega asked. seconds after, a smile made its way to his face and instead of shouting, he leaned forward and placed a gently kiss on top of his head. ❝don't stress yourself too much, it's not healthy for the baby.❞

if before, chenle found it uncomfortable, right now, he was relieved that even with what he was thinking back then about the life forming inside him, jisung is still there for him. ❝p-papa is going t-to take care of baby.❞

❝and daddy too.❞ the younger male said, wiping the smaller's tears with his thumb. ❝i'll make sure to take good care of the both of you.❞

and while they were at it, the woman stared at them in awe. the smile on her face grew wide when she saw her son making a bold move in shutting the omega up by kissing his lips.

she then heaved a sigh, ❝why can't we be that sweet?❞

but then she remembered, it was her who keeps on rejecting her husband's affection.
