❝you're lucky you got to skip for a year!❞

chenle let out a soft chuckle as he watched the tanned male in front of him drinking and getting himself drunk, while the other smaller omega was trying to take the bottle away from him. turning to his side, he then smiled at yangyang who came towards their table and placed the fries they ordered down.

months passed with the omega coping up at the incident he had. however, it wasn't mostly great times just because he was being comforted. there still would be times of the omega having his episodes but fortunately for him, the pure blooded is always there for him. he isn't taking it for granted, he's also right beside his lover whenever he needed him. there are moments that jisung would breakdown and just like how the pure blooded does it to him, chenle is always present right by his side.

so to summarize the months that had passed by, they have been together whenever they needed each other.

and this is actually the first time he had came out from their unit after months of mourning for what they had lost. he is still adjusting to it but with his friends around, it seemed like he hasn't missed a day with them. although, there were inside jokes that he couldn't catch up to but they never failed to explain it to him.

like how renjun exposed yangyang for having an alpha and a beta picking him up from school,

how yangyang exposed renjun for catching him making out with a pure blooded and an alpha inside the movie world,

and how donghyuck exposed the both of them by saying that they went out on a date and were already this close to being official.

❝i'll still be homeschooled though,❞ chenle avoided the alcoholic drinks and went on to grab a bottle of water. ❝mama park insisted, saying that it's for my own good since i still am trying to adjust.❞

the omega sitting right next to the youngest of them almost choked at the apple juice he's taking in. ❝m-mama park?❞

with heat riding up to his cheeks, chenle sunk down to his seat and nodded his head while having it lowered down to avoid their teasing smiles. the drunk omega even made smooching sounds to make it worse. ❝she told m-me to call her t-that so i'd get used to it.❞

❝oh, why is that so?❞ donghyuck's slurred, waving the glass in the air before lazily pointing a finger at the shy omega. ❝mr. future park chenle?❞

since the younger chinese wasn't speaking a word, renjun let out a chuckle to ease the tension. ❝let me guess, she's already planning your future with jisung?❞

❝is this a wedding i smell?❞ slowly being intoxicated by alcohol, yangyang motioned his hands as if he could smell something delicious. they then chuckled with the youngest huffing and having his face all flushed. ❝i'm reserving the spot for best man!❞

renjun gasped in disagreement, glaring at the omega. ❝no, that's going to be me.❞

❝shut up, peasants!❞ the tanned male hushed then, raising an empty glass which he planned to fill up later. ❝we all know it's going to be me.❞

they are good friends, great, even the best that anyone would wish for. the months wouldn't have been better if it weren't for them finding time to visit chenle at the unit he shared with jisung for the past couple of months. the pure blooded even liked their presence around, though there would be times he'd get jealous at how these three are so clingy towards his omega.

but there's already one person that took the spot of a best man ahead of them. ❝actually, it's going to be yukhei ge.❞

❝damn it, why does it have to be yukhei?❞ of course renjun meant it as a joke, he knew how close the younger is with his cousin.

the mention of the name then made yangyang tilt his head to the side with his brows furrowed. ❝isn't your cousin's husband pregnant? when is the expected date?❞

tapping his chin, chenle tried to remember when it was while humming in the most adorable way that they mayhaps cooed. ❝next month? i think.❞

donghyuck took this change to take the bottle from the unguarded omega and filled his glass with it, taking a sip before catching their attention by slamming the glass down. ❝all of you are asking all those meanwhile i'm here wondering if the wedding is really going to happen.❞

and their eyes went back to chenle, hoping the squeeze out information from the omega who's being pressured from their gazes. with a gulp, the youngest of them started waving his hand frantically while letting out a nervous chuckle. ❝not yet but we did have a discussion of it.❞

❝wah,❞ yangyang nudged him, showing a thumbs up as he now looked like he was next to the tanned male's state of being drunk. ❝your life, good!❞

the the oldest of them there snorted at how there were already two drunk males he had to take care of for the night. renjun is just glad that the younger chinese is avoiding the alcohols present on the table. they were supposed to hang out at a cafe but since they let donghyuck choose the play they would meet up, they couldn't refuse knowing how much he has been through. ❝is it going to be this year?❞

chenle pressed his lips to a thin line and started shaking his head slowly. ❝far future. probably after jisung graduates? or—❞

they flinched when donghyuck once again dropped his glass after finishing another shot of alcohol. ❝you're so lucky to have a whole ass park jisung!❞ he whined, squiggling in his seat. ❝you may have went a miscarriage but you have jisung to be there with you! to reassure you that he'd be with you till your last breath, to protect you at all times, and to give you the love you deserve. you're so fucking lucky.❞

the table went silent at the tanned male's sudden outburst. yangyang clamped his mouth shut and renjun clicked his tongue while hitting the omega's leg.

turning to the male beside him, donghyuck raised a brow. ❝what? it's true—❞

not wanting to ruin the moment they had and to make the mood all gloomy, renjun slapped a hand over his mouth to silence him. he then turned to the youngest of them who's also surprised to hear that from donghyuck, passing him an apologetic smile. ❝don't mind him, le, he's just drunk and you know how whiny he gets when drunk. please forgive him for what he said.❞

although he was slowly accepting the reality, he still couldn't forget what had happened. a mention of it can even make him feel like it had just happened yesterday and even though it hurts a lot, it pains him less now that he was taught to accept.

❝it's fine,❞ chenle mustered up a smile as he gathered courage to look at the tanned male struggling to take the oldest's hand away from his mouth. ❝he's actually right.❞

the two stopped moving while yangyang stared at the omega beside him with a hazy sight, blinking in a clueless manner.

he then chuckled, genuinely wanting to admit it. ❝i am fucking lucky to have park jisung.❞

❝and i am also fucking lucky to have you, park chenle.❞

the familiar deep voice they had heard then made them freeze from their places, only turning to the side to see who it was that had just arrived without notice. with a gulp, yangyang slowly stood up from the space right beside chenle and joined himself to the three right across them, sandwiching donghyuck in the middle and pressing renjun to the window.

the omega had his eyes widened at who appeared right in front of them, having his breathing hitched that he might misunderstood him drinking because of all the bottles on the table. ❝j-jisung?❞

❝hey.❞ the pure blooded took the vacant seat that's given to him by yangyang and immediately went to place soft kiss on top of his omega's forehead, moving down just to sniff the older's breath to smell if he has been drinking. with a small smile, he booped their noses together before turning to the omegas across them that's staring with awkward eyes.

❝i feel like i'm third wheeling.❞ renjun grumbled, leaning his head by the the window.

❝i feel like i'm inviting myself at my friend's date.❞ yangyang said when it's supposed to be a hangout for them, but not like they minded having the pure blooded join. ❝which is also third wheeling.❞

scoffing at the two while being squished in the middle, donghyuck carried on in drinking the last ounce of liquid inside his glass. ❝as if i don't fourth wheel whenever i hang out with either of you two and you bring your boyfriends.❞

the two then gasped, ❝they are not yet my boyfriends!❞

yet. them being in denial only made the omega drink more.

not listening to his friends' conversation, chenle only had his eyes at the pure blooded right next to him that's laughing as he found the omegas across them quite funny. he eyed the younger's clothes and caught him looking great with his uniform and a coat.

it then reminded him, ❝isn't today your finals?❞

he personally asked to take the subjects all at once, having him to reach till night time with a couple of students that also requested that with valid reasons. well, his reason is between valid and not. he just wanted to finish it all so he could spend the remaining days with his omega. ❝finished it all.❞

raising a brow, the shorter male found it suspicious. ❝you're not just guessing the answers, are you?❞

❝bae,❞ jisung smiled and as he leaned to his lover. ❝i studied last night. you should know that, you were just right beside me.❞

❝you were playing games, covering your phone with a book.❞

❝no, i was—❞

❝bae, hah!❞ and donghyuck just had to interrupt them with a loud laugh. the next moment shocked them as he started to cry, burying his head down on the palm of his hand. ❝i used to call my boyfriend 'love'.❞

being a gentleman he is, jisung found a handkerchief inside his pocket and handed it to the tanned omega who didn't hesitate to grab it and blew his nose to it. while renjun was busy patting his back, yangyang opened the cap of an untouched bottle of water in case the crying male would like to drink.

but no, donghyuck  just continued to cry. ❝b-because he i-is the love.❞

the pure blooded frowned at how the tanned male was suffering, feeling bad for him. he wished he had the talent to comfort him like how the older comforted him that one time by the staircase. that really slapped him back to his senses and his words never left his head.

❝how are they?❞ he whispered to the two omegas who are busy bushing the tanned male down.

heaving out a long sigh, renjun looked at the pure blooded while shaking his head. ❝over.❞

yangyang got back to being sober the moment donghyuck started crying hard. since he was sitting across the pure blooded, he whispered to him so the crying omega wouldn't hear and be reminded of it. ❝donghyuck let him go knowing that it's for the best. mark hyung tried contacting him countless of times but he would decline it, till he blocked his number.❞

not that he didn't love him anymore, donghyuck just did that so he could get over him and the lesser it would hurt seeing him be with someone else.

he knew he can't blame it on mark, he did nothing wrong but to love him. donghyuck loved him as much and as the saying goes, if you love someone, let them go.

if they come back, then it truly is meant to be.

❝hyung,❞ jisung then called out, getting the tanned male's attention and stopped him from crying. ❝do you want me to punch him?❞

the way he comforted him by mentioning violence made the omega laugh, bitterly of course. ❝ji, if anyone's going to punch him, that should be me.❞

the pure blooded then puckered his lips, really wanting to be of help for the older as he is also a big help to them. ❝but hyung—❞

❝let's not talk about this!❞ donghyuck exclaimed, making everyone flinch at hos voice. but this time, he had a bright smile on his face, showing them that he was alright. he just had a mini break down as he was reminded of a specific alpha that he cared and loved so much. ❝let's go back to the wedding.❞

he just arrived, of course jisung would have no idea what they are talking about. ❝wedding?❞

someone is getting married? but the only ones he knew that are going to get married this year is his omega's cousin.

pondering, yangyang's eyes now darted to chenle who has been undeniably quiet and composed after the pure blooded arrived. ❝i never got to ask this as we trailed from one topic to another,❞ he then told him. ❝but what do you call his father?❞

finding this subject quite familiar, the pure blooded had his eyes glaring at the omega beside him who now playing with his fingers, having it as his nervous habit. it then took chenle a while to answer the question. ❝m-mr. park.❞

❝what?❞ renjun eyed the couple, sitting across them, in disbelief. ❝you call his mother 'mama park' and there goes his father having formalities left?❞

leaning back, jisung took a glass and asked donghyuck to pour half inside. ❝you don't actually expect for me to let chenle call someone else daddy, do you?❞

the tanned male immediately understood what he meant and scoffed at how confident the pure blooded can be while chenle hid his face on his hands, feeling himself blowing up from the embarrassment he had felt for the day.

❝but isn't he still—❞ it took renjun a good minute before he understood what the pure blooded meant, pressing his lips into a thin line. ❝let us not go deeper into this subject.❞

but one omega was clueless, not catching up neither having any idea as to why the oldest of them acted like that. ❝why? what does he mean by it?❞

❝oh, you know..❞ donghyuck waved his glass to the innocent omega beside him. ❝he just wanted to make it clap.❞

yangyang would like to blame it on alcohol as to why the tanned male was starting to speak nonsense. ❝make what clap?❞

renjun tried to explain it to yangyang in the most innocent way as possible, having the omega think of incest, while donghyuck straight up told him what jisung meant by it. and while they were in their own worlds, chenle turned to his side and saw the pure blooded drinking, what he could tell, alcohol.

❝ji, stop.❞ the shorter male clicked his tongue and brought the glass down.

❝come on, i'm quite tired from the exams i took today.❞ the younger then reasoned out, finishing the half full glass before handing it to donghyuck and asked for more.

chenle gave his friend a look but that didn't work in stopping him from pouring another glass. ❝you're gonna get drunk.❞

❝i can handle it.❞ jisung reassured him.

standing up from his seat, donghyuck took everyone's attention. even those who are quite far from their table. ❝let's celebrate for these two!❞

they all know who the omega was referring to. while jisung raised his glass with a cheer, chenle only showed a small smile.

guess this is going to be a long night.

⚠️

❝careful.❞

chenle took hold of the pure blooded's arm as he looked like he was about to stumble to his side. jisung only laughed it off and threw an arm over his omega's shoulders as they continued to make their way towards their unit. ❝did you enjoy today?❞

after all, it was the first time he finally had the courage to go out after mourning for the past months. ❝yeah, i actually did.❞

they were a bit loud and mayhaps had too much fun to the point they were almost asked to go out, but he enjoyed hanging out with his friends nonetheless.

❝aw, squishy.❞ stopping their tracks in the middle of the hallway, jisung faced the shorter male and cupped his face. the next moment, he now started pinching and squishing his cheeks. ❝cute, little, squishy, dumpling!❞

and this is the outcome of the pure blooded drinking two glasses. ❝see? you're drunk.❞

❝i'm not drunk!❞ he denied, but was slurring with his words. jisung then chuckled and started pampering his omega with kisses, leaving his lips out as he was still sane enough to know that the older would be uncomfortable by it. ❝you are just so adorable.❞

❝hm..❞ chenle pouted at how he was kissing his face while mumbling some compliments.

❝you are so cute, i wanna put you inside my pocket.❞

❝jisung?❞

with the said male hugging the life out of the omega, chenle turned his head to the side and gave the woman a sheepish smile. neither of them knew she would be visiting them for the night but it's not like she's not invited inside anytime, she even has spare keys incase. ❝evening, mama park.❞

the woman snorted, holding back her laugh after seeing her son acting all clingy with the smaller male. ❝is he drunk?❞

letting out a sigh, a nod was seen from the omega. ❝yes, yes he is.❞

❝i'm not!❞ and jisung went back to squishing his lover's cheeks, booping their noses from time to time and earned a chuckle from the older. ❝he is just so cute!❞ with eyes glittering, the son turned to his mother with lips puckered. ❝mom, can we keep him?❞

pushing himself away, the omega smacked him playfully on the chest. ❝what are you saying, jisung?❞ he laughed. ❝i'm already yours.❞

a gasp was heard from the taller male. ❝you're mine?❞ he looked surprised to hear that. it didn't take him a while till he went back to hugging the shorter male very tight. ❝if you're mine i'm going to take care of you, make sure you'd be treated like royalty, give you all my love, and shower you with affection every second of the day!❞

and that's what he's actually doing ever since.

sadly, their cute moment had to be stopped when she was reminded of her reason as to why she came to pay a visit at this late hour.

and she's actually not alone.

❝i don't think it would be proper to have you shown in that state but what can we do?❞ she sighed, should have told her son about this so he would prepare himself. ❝anyways, i brought guests with us.❞

taking their eyes away from each other, the two turned their head towards the woman's direction while humming in a puzzled manner. by now, jisung had already let go of chenle and the omega could now breathe properly from being suffocated by the hug.

he may be drunk just a slight bit but he was still sober enough to have his mood change upon seeing who came out of their unit. seeing a familiar face caused chenle to grow his eyes wide while the pure blooded had his hands clenched to tight fists.

❝you—❞ jisung charged towards them and was about to lay a finger on this specific someone but was stopped by his own mother.

❝jisung,❞ she spoke softly, calming her son down and blocking his sight from seeing the two visitors. ❝behave.❞

he clicked his tongue, standing still there and made sure to protect his omega from anything that could possibly happen. he isn't doing anything but he was growling at those two while slowly murdering them inside his head, feeling anger rising up as he knew how much his lover suffered in their hands.

meanwhile, chenle started to breathe heavily after seeing the woman who had caused him to take the life that's forming inside him, who was the reason as to why he suffered with thoughts that he didn't know that could grow darker. not only that but there's also someone else who came along with her.

❝mom? dad?❞

why did they still have to appear right in front of him?
