hearing the birds chirping outside was enough to wake him up, also hearing sniffles inside the room. having an arm placed on top of his eyes, chenle removed it and had his sight adjusting to the light. his body was still in pain, he almost can't even move. if it weren't for the comfortable and fluffy mattress he is laying down at then he wouldn't have a great sleep. then again, he passed out so whether he liked it or not, he'd still be unconscious for the whole night.

staring at the ceiling, memories from last night came flashing inside his head. he pushed himself to his limit to say the least, continuing even though he couldn't take it anymore. he tried to shuffle his body to the side but not without whimpering.

the moment he turned to the side, he expected to see the pure blooded beside him. well, he is but instead of sleeping, he sat there with his back facing at him, noticing how his shoulders were going up and down indicating that he was sobbing. ❝j-ji..❞

chenle furrowed his brows when he almost could not hear his voice.

clearing his throat, he made another attempt to call out for his name. ❝jisung?❞

the pure blooded didn't say anything when he called, sniffles still continued to be heard. chenle then lowered his head and saw how he was wearing one of the younger's oversized shirts and when he darted his eyes back on to the pure blooded, he was wearing sweatpants but kept his torso bare.

just when the omega was about to call his name out again, jisung had finally spoke but with his voice cracking. ❝i'm sorry..❞

was he crying that hard? the question is, why is he crying?

it then worried chenle, making him prop his elbow up but failed the next second as he only flopped down softly on the bed. he heaved a sigh and did it again, ignoring the pain from his lower part and back. he let out whimpers at every limb he moved but that didn't stop him from crawling his way to jisung till he finally reached behind him. the omega then sat down carefully and spread his legs to the side, something he shouldn't have done because it still hurt from having to almost do a split last night, and then wrapped his arms around the younger's naked upper body.

chenle gently let his head rest on his back as he tried to comfort the crying male. ❝it's alright. stop crying.❞

❝i d-didn't get t-to..❞ the pure blooded buried his head down to his palms with his hands gripping tight at the locks of his hair, showing how much he hated himself right at that moment. ❝control m-myself last night.❞

taking a deep breath, the omega closed his eyes and tried to comfort jisung by releasing his scent. although it wasn't enough, chenle can sense his distress slowly disappearing. not completely, but it still was of help.

❝i a-almost..❞

❝ji, i love you.❞ chenle had cut him off before he goes and starts to blame himself.

he can then hear the pure blooded toning his cries down. letting go of him, the omega tried to move himself to another position, struggling to do so, and settled down on to the younger's lap. jisung gladly let him sit on his lap, having his arms wrapped around the smaller's waist securely before burying his head down on to his chest. that, he started to sob again.

the older brought his hand up and stroked his hair gently, hushing him done while doing it. ❝don't blame yourself. i was the one who insisted to help you.❞

❝i t-tried..❞ jisung gulped as he could hear his voice cracking again, taking a few deep breaths before he finally continued. ❝i tried to take control, i really did try.❞

❝you did well.❞ lifting his chin up, chenle gave the pure blooded a small smile. ❝hey, i'm still alive, am i not?❞

his smile should have comforted him by now but it only caused for jisung to cry harder as he stared at the omega's tired face, ❝but i c-could have rip—❞

❝i'm fine.❞ he cuts him off with a light peck on the lips, staying long after the second peck before finally initiating a kiss filled with love and affection. chenle had a smile curved on his lips in between their kiss, pulling away and played with the younger's hair softly. ❝i love you.❞

still sniffling, jisung bit his bottom lip to silence his sobs. ❝i love—❞

his eyes trailed down at the bite mark on the older's neck and it made him freeze from his place. his gaze just fixed on that mark and he could have sworn he felt his heart dropping because of it. he didn't know what had gotten to him last night but what he could remember was taking care of the omega after he passed out. he was exhausted but he still got to clean themselves and put the omega gently down the bed. he couldn't remember anything about biting him, marking him.

and now, he finally claimed him as his.

❝jisung, is there something wrong?❞ the shorter male tilted his head to the side in question to the younger's sudden pause from his words.

looking up, jisung didn't wait a second and closed the gap between them. the surprised chenle but he kissed back nonetheless, was taken a back at how soft and gentle the pure blooded was with their kiss.

pulling away, the omega raised a brow at how jisung was smiling as tears rolled down from his eyes. this was starting to worry him.

❝mine.❞ honestly, jisung had mixed feelings about this but he was more gushing with happiness after seeing that he had claimed the omega as his. he let out a broken chuckle before burying his face on to the crook of the omega's neck, pampering soft kisses down to his mark. he made to sure kiss it, showing how much he was happy to see the mark. ❝i love you.❞

the way how his kisses were light as feathers made chenle chuckle, tilting his head to the side before humming in satisfaction at how jisung rubbed his nose on the crook of his neck. ❝it tickles..❞

❝i want you,❞ that didn't stop the pure blooded from his giving him kisses. ❝and i need you,❞ then pampering him kisses everywhere in his face till he settled a soft one on top of his forehead. ❝because i love you.❞

because he finally admitted that, chenle gave him a smile before pecking his lips. ❝same goes here, jisung.❞

the two stared at each other with a smiles on their faces. they didn't know what this feeling was about, it felt more that being in love. it might be their bond working on them, or it might be because they were finally mates. whatever is the reason as to why they were feeling this way, they loved it. they loved each other. jisung then just kept on rubbing comforting circles behind the omega's back and chenle started to lean nearer once more. the pure blooded slowly closed his eyes and parted his lips as he waited for the older's plum ones, feeling his warm breath ghosting over.

but the moment was disturbed by a loud ringtone that chenle could make out as his.

jisung chuckled, pecking his lips before placing him down gently on the bed. ❝i'll go get it.❞

having that pout on his face, chenle crossed his arms in frustration. ❝it's inside my pants.❞ he said, the tone of his voice was enough to tell that he was upset at whoever dared to ruin the moment he had with his pure blooded alpha. ❝actually, just give me my pants.❞

the taller male first turned to the omega down the bed and can't help but laugh at how childish he looked, sulking like that just because they were cut off from kissing. jisung strolled around his room and saw the omega's pants almost being hid under his bed. he then took it and handed it to the older before going around and finding wherever his phone is which the older had gave him last night.

while he was at it, chenle fumbled his hands inside the pockets of his pants but instead of getting his phone, he took out something else that made him gasp.

❝what is it?❞ after checking thousands of calls coming from jaemin and jeno, also from an unknown number which sent messages about how chenle is, jisung turned his head around to the smaller male that's down on the bed and saw him covering his mouth. ❝le?❞

it was just then it all started to process inside his head, what happened before he passed out. not only did jisung get to mark him but he also had knotted inside.

chenle had a hand gently caressing his tummy as he stared down at the flat wrapper jeno gave him, now the one crying. it alarmed the pure blooded and jisung didn't think twice to put his phone down just to approach the male. he just then saw what the omega was holding and it didn't take him seconds to understand what wad happening, also getting worried of what was going to become of them.

❝j-ji..❞ it wasn't the pure blooded's fault, chenle knew that. heck, jisung tried to pull out but the omega inside the older just had to be stubborn and be desperate to be claimed and mated. he raised his head up to the pure blooded leaning down to him, ❝i'm s-sorry.. i'll..❞

both of them were surprised as they just got to remember everything very clearly, but jisung knew better than to let his emotions get the better of him. ❝no, no.. chenle.❞

jisung lifted his hand up and wiped the tears from his cheeks using his thumb, hushing and comforting the crying omega down. chenle wasn't the only one feeling scared, jisung too. this would mean a lot to him and as much as he wanted to breakdown at what he had done to the omega, comforting him is still his first priority.

❝i'll g-get rid of i-it.❞

but even though this came out as a surprise, that was the last thing jisung had in mind for him to do. ❝what?❞

bringing his hand up just to hold jisung's that's on his cheeks, chenle gave him a bitter smile. he didn't like the idea but he also didn't want to pressure the younger to take care of it along with him, he knew it would be a burden and he didn't want that.

not when they have just fixed the relationship that was once broken. ❝d-don't worry. i w-won't let this g-get to your way.❞ he said, tears rolling down aggressively. ❝if i c-can't abort it t-then.. i'll take care of it alone.❞

❝no.❞

chenle whimpered at the tone jisung was using, obviously being warned by the alpha inside him. the pure blooded didn't meant to use his voice against him, knowing how much it would frighten him, but he couldn't help it. his decision was irrational and it obviously was made because of how scared he was to face their future.

❝chenle, that's ours.❞ and even though jisung still had to process everything inside his head, taking a life away was the last thing he had in mind. ❝i'll take responsibility.❞

the older male was shaking his head, covering his face as he continued to sob. ❝y-you don't have t-to force yourself.. i'll just—❞

❝omega.❞ he didn't want to do this but the only way to make him listen what to use his voice, which jisung was doing right now. ❝if ever something does happens, i'll take responsibility of it.❞

❝i'm s-sorry.. jisung..❞ chenle then hiccupped, scooting away from the pure blooded that's climbing on the bed. he didn't go far when jisung immediately took hold of his hips and placed him down on his lap swiftly. ❝i'm such a b-burden. i'm getting in your way—❞

❝you're not, chenle.❞ he then placed a finger on to the crying male's chin and raised it up to make him face him. jisung gave him a small smile before kissing the tears away, placing a short but meaningful kiss on his quivering lips. ❝don't say that to yourself, please?❞

❝i'm sorry..❞ but that didn't stop chenle from apologizing as if it was wrong for him to have something forming inside him.

❝chenle, you don't want me to get upset, do you?❞ because if the omega keeps on blaming himself, jisung might not be able to hold it in and get frustrated that he'd use his voice against him all the way. ❝there's nothing wrong in this aside from the fact that we're too young for it. but listen to me, i'll take responsibility so you won't have to deal with this on your own.❞

and also the fact that chenle is going to be sensitive, jisung has to always look out for him all the time. he should double the way how he protect him now that he's protecting two of them.

not knowing why, but that thought made jisung smile.

❝okay, lele?❞ he brushed his hands up to the omega's hair and wiped the remaining tears that's starting to dry up.

after a few more seconds, chenle then nodded his head slowly. ❝o-okay.❞

❝come on, don't stress yourself.❞ jisung kept a smile on his face he now combed the older's messed up hair using his fingers. ❝we'll immediately go for a check up if signs starts to show.❞

the pure blooded expected for an answer from him but instead, he was greeted by a hug. the smile on his face widened when the shorter male snuggled close on to his neck, humming in comfort with his presence around. from someone who always panics at situations like this, jisung was quite proud that he got to comfort the omega.

his omega.

but the time they had for each other didn't last long when the door started to push open and jisung had a glare to whoever came inside without even knocking, only to have his gaze soften after seeing that it was just his mother.

then, it hit jisung. his mother didn't know anything about the omega being here, neither did he tell her about chenle helping him deal with his cycle. the pure blooded then felt the chills in his spine at how sweet his mother's smile was, knowing that it was already threatening him in so many ways.

❝m-mom?❞ he voiced out, making the omega sitting on his lap tighten his embrace on to the pure blooded's neck.

the woman wanted to coo at the sight but the fact that her own son had kept all of this from them, and that they had to know just last night because of how loud they can be. she can even guess that something was destroyed inside the bathroom.

well, at least the bed was still in good shape.

❝you have so much explaining to do young man.❞ she scolded, approaching them but stopped midway when she could see the omega shaking in fear because of her presence. she heaved a sigh and tried to compose herself, eyes on her son that's hushing and reassuring the omega down.

when she said that she's holding herself back from cooing, she really meant it. the sight was really too much to handle especially when she has been asking for her own son to bring a boyfriend over, and there he is.

but this wasn't the way she expected to see him, which surprised her.

❝i have talked to your father last night.❞ the woman then started to walk once again till she stood right next to the bed with her arms crossed. ❝it's your turn to tell him everything.❞

knowing that made jisung widen his eyes, holding back an urge to pull his mother into a tight hug. ❝but chenle—❞

❝i'll take care of him here for the meantime.❞ she had her stern tone remained, telling her son that she wasn't in the mood to make jokes with him. ❝now, go.❞

gulping, jisung first hushed the omega's worries away before carefully and gently placing him down the bed. the woman stood there in awe as she could finally see her son's boyfriend, shaking her head to remind herself that she still needed to stay in character. the young pure blooded gave chenle a small smile before placing a short kiss on his lips, making the mother look away before she squeals so hard at the sight of them kissing.

it took chenle a while before he could finally let go jisung's hand and when he did, he sunk down on the bed with the woman's gaze on him. jisung first made sure to get a shirt from his closet before eyeing back on the omega, not taking his eyes off him till he finally got out of his room.

and now that they were left around inside the room, the mother startled chenle by climbing on the bed and nearing her face filled with excitement. the omega had to back away as he was taken aback by how jisung's mother was acting instead of getting mad at him.

❝woah,❞ she can't help but have her mouth open in agape as she finally got a good look of her son's boyfriend, especially that mark on his neck but she didn't want to bring that up knowing that her son would find time to open up.

❝m-mrs. park?❞ chenle flinched when she started to place a finger on his chin and tilted his head from side to side before moving away in approval.

❝he wasn't lying when he said that you were a baby material.❞

going down the stairs with silence surrounding him and only his steps were heard, the sound of a cup being placed down the table was then heard coming from the living room. jisung stood there for a couple of minutes after seeing his father's figure before finally manning up and approaching the man that he called as his father.

with all of this happening, there was already no room to chicken out. he had to stay strong and in stand on his ground.

he first took deep breathes before walking nearer to him and standing a good distance away from the sofa which the man is peacefully sitting at with a cup of coffee in his hand.

❝it would actually be better if you'd sit here with me.❞ the man had finally spoke, noticing his son's presence since a while ago.

jisung crossed his arms and had a brow raised once the man turned to look at him. ❝so, i guess mom told you everything?❞

❝not everything.❞ hearing a groan from the man, he patted the space right next to him. ❝just come here.❞

❝i won't.❞

❝park jisung.❞

❝no, not until you apologize.❞ the son insisted, standing there while fuming after remembering how his father insulted his omega.

but seems like the father had no idea what he had to apologize for. ❝what on earth did i do wrong?❞

that annoyed jisung very much, seeing him looking like he was just some innocent man. pointing a finger at him, the young pure blooded alpha then started to exclaim at him. ❝you insulted my boyfriend! don't say that that's not wrong, that's more than despicable. you insulted their kind and i'm not going to let you get away with it that's why you have to apologize.❞

the man's jaw then dropped at how his son talked back at him, but something else caught his attention. ❝great, he's your boyfriend now?❞

among everything he had just said, that's the only thing that went inside his ears? ❝dad!❞

❝fine!❞ clicking his tongue, he could have scolded back at young pure blooded alpha if it weren't of his wife nagging at him the whole night about the ways of being a good father. not also at the fact that she even threatened him a divorce if he doesn't get back to his senses and continue to treat their son like that. ❝sit here first.❞

jisung groaned, ruffling his hair. ❝you know what? i'm going back upstairs.❞

❝i'm sorry, okay?❞ he spoke before the son could take another step away. ❝and i did earn a punch from it which, you already gave me.❞

was it that hard? he could have understood his son way before to avoid it worsening this way. also, it took him a divorce threat to open his eyes to a new light and quickly thought of a way to immediately get back his son's trust.

with the man busy with his thoughts, jisung had already made his way to a space right next to his father and sat there with his arms still crossed across his chest and eyes not planning to look at the man. it was then he sat down that snapped his father out from his pile of thoughts.

with a huff, the young pure blooded still refused to look at him but his mother did say that he still had to explain everything to his father and that's what he's going to do if he wants their approval of him having an omega as his boyfriend. ❝so, what you want to know first?❞

looking like a curious puppy, the man had his cup of coffee forgotten down the table and now face his son. a lot of questions were now appearing inside his head that they were forming a list.

and it just so happens that his first question was, ❝why did you think that doing it inside the bathroom was a great idea?❞
