they were then seated at the living room after a ten-minute argument about what donghyuck had suddenly told them. the tanned male had to be seated alone at the other sofa while the three takes the other one with jeno having both the alpha and omega in his arms. all donghyuck could do was squint his eyes at the pure blooded and if it weren't for renjun snapping him back to his senses then he could have actually looked judgemental for the whole time they'd be there.

❝as what i was saying,❞ the small omega being forced to sit down on to the pure blooded's lap spoke, ❝no.❞

rolling his eyes while heaving out stressful sigh, donghyuck had already expected for his bestfriend to go against to everything he says. ❝this actually doesn't matter if you agree or not. chenle needs him so we just have to give what his omega needs.❞

❝have you lost your mind, hyuck?❞ renjun didn't like every bit of his plan. ❝leaving chenle alone with a pure blooded. do you want him to be ripped apart!?❞

❝you make it sound like pure blooded alphas are that much of a threat in bed.❞ the tanned male leaned his back on to the sofa and crossed his arms at the omega glaring at him.

donghyuck then looked at jaemin, asking for help, but the alpha only let out an unsure smile as if he was telling him that renjun did have a point. having jeno as his last resort, the tanned omega hoped that the pure blooded himself would prove that they aren't that bad to be with in a situation like this but jeno only looked away with his face flushed.

scoffing, ❝okay maybe they are not the best choice but—❞ donghyuck didn't get to finish his explanation when renjun just decided that it was fun to cut him off.

❝they are not, period.❞ the small omega then felt the arm around his waist tightening, causing for him to be aware that he had offended someone with his statement. with a frown, renjun looked away from the omega sitting alone in another sofa as he then rephrased his sentence. ❝not all, but some are not the best to be in this situation.❞

donghyuck couldn't help himself but facepalm at how his friend easily gave in just because a pure blooded was giving him those puppy eyes. ❝now, that's unfair.❞ renjun was taking consideration of someone who left him out of respect. ❝chenle's heat was triggered because he was molested and do you know what's the great part of it?❞

❝i don't think anything here is great.❞ jaemin mumbled, thankfully not catching donghyuck's attention. the omega looked serious and he didn't want to piss him off.

❝chenle's omega found a perfect possible mate!❞ clapping his hands, the tanned male still had the time to celebrate. ❝surprise quiz, who is that perfect mate we are talking about?❞

here comes donghyuck and his sarcasm, also pointing out the obvious, this was what renjun didn't like the most when it comes to them discussing or simply arguing. ❝cut it off—❞

❝exactly, jisung park!❞ donghyuck wanted to laugh at the situation, but he knew more than to do it. it wasn't funny, nothing is funny in what they were facing right now. it's just that, the two of them broke up but at the end of the day, they are still destined for each other. ❝it wouldn't have triggered his heat if it wasn't for his knight in shining armor coming to the rescue. the omega inside him saw how the pure blooded protected him and that resulted for his omega being this desperate to be claimed by the pure blooded.❞

unlike jeno who's dozing off by being surrounded by the alpha's and omega's scents, jaemin was actually listening and found this interesting. ❝chenle must have been that scared to the point that his omega was submitting to jisung in hopes for him to be protected.❞

❝in other words,❞ donghyuck sighed for the nth time. ❝he's simply wanting jisung to be his bodyguard.❞

renjun raised his small fist and threatened to hit the other omega with it. ❝it sounds like chenle is using him if you put it that way.❞ he then started to ponder before finding a perfect term for it. ❝his omega is trusting the pure blooded alpha that he'd be with him for the rest of his life.❞

leaning forward, donghyuck propped his elbow on his lap and lowered his chin just to put it down on to his palms. the tanned male didn't forget to give the omega a look, ❝just a moment ago, you were against this.❞

opening his eyes, jeno noticed that he actually fell asleep for a moment in jaemin's shoulder. yawning, he blinked his eyes softly and spoke despite of not knowing which chapter they were already talking about. ❝what are we talking about?❞

both renjun and donghyuck groaned in annoyance. fortunately for jeno, the tanned male omega was still in the mood to use his knowledge. ❝about how we should put chenle and jisung in one room.❞

furrowing his brows, the pure blooded just found it as a bad idea. ❝but jisung is a—❞

❝we have explained this a while ago!❞ burying his face down to his palms, donghyuck took deep breaths to compose himself. ❝we have no choice because it's chenle's omega who made a choice to submit to jisung.❞

pouting at the omega getting frustrated over him being clueless, jeno leaned his head back on to his boyfriend's shoulder while pulling renjun close to him. ❝what if we don't?❞

sitting up straight, donghyuck pinched the bridged of his nose while having his eyes closed. ❝then he'd suffer more than what he usually does in his heat cycle.❞ he told them. ❝it would also be like jisung rejecting chenle's omega.❞

and that would hurt a lot more than a heartbreak, more than being stabbed by daggers in the heart. imagine that, the tanned male can already see the days that chenle would be crying endlessly and would start looking lifeless if he gets rejected.

❝anyways, we still have a day to think about it.❞ donghyuck eyed the stairs up to the floor where chenle is possibly in right now. ❝for now, he'd just be calling out for the pure blooded but we shouldn't waste time. once he starts to crave for him and need him by his side, that's when the pain would begin.❞

jaemin had also told him about chenle wearing the pure blooded's shirt so that would be enough for him to last for a day, or at least enough for them to finally make a decision.

renjun stayed silent in his place, still wanting to go against this. he didn't want to see his friend being ripped apart but neither did he want for chenle to be rejected and suffer for the rest of his life. ❝but hyuck, what if we bring jisung here and he wouldn't want to see chenle?❞

❝even if his intentions are good for doing that,❞ donghyuck licked his dry lips before continuing. ❝that's still him rejecting the omega.❞

if it would be chenle's usual cycle then it would be counted as sweet for not taking advantage of him but this time, it's different.

the alpha sat there and processed everything that he had just heard but then something came in mind, ❝wait, you guys are leaving chenle here? in my house?❞

the two omegas eyed jaemin as if he had said something so obvious. ❝would you want us to drag an omega in heat around?❞ renjun told him.

running a hand through his hair, jaemin didn't know how to explain this to his father. he's the chairman of the school where chenle lied in being an alpha. he could be in big trouble if his father finds out about the omega stepping foot inside the campus.

❝and plus, you have a room that covers up scents.❞ the tanned male then looked at the alpha, finding it suspicious. ❝which i don't know how and why on earth you have a room specifically for that.❞

visibly gulping, jaemin turned his head to the side and coincidentally, jeno was also looking at him in panic. covering it up with a chuckle, the alpha decided to change the topic. ❝let's talk about how to find an alibi for my father.❞

❝good lord, why does parents have to be involved in this?❞ back at it in stressing out, donghyuck ruffled his hair and stared up to the ceiling as if he could find answers there. ❝how about we bring chenle back to the dorms—❞

❝that's the worst idea ever.❞ renjun leaned back to the pure blooded's chest and let his head rest on to his shoulder. ❝let's just bring chenle back to his old apartment and take turns in looking out for him.❞

❝that can also do. jaemin, you go with us just in case.❞ remembering it, there's a safe way towards the younger's apartment without anyone being able to catch his scent and find out that there's an omega nearby that's in heat. ❝next problem is, toys.❞

the chinese's jaw then dropped. ❝donghyuck!❞

❝what!?❞ the tanned male didn't even know what he had said wrong. ❝you don't expect him to just call for jisung's name, do you?❞

he was right but renjun just couldn't handle how he had said it so casually. jeno sat there as he watched each one of them having a role meanwhile he just woke up from a short nap. stretching his arms, he placed it down on to his boyfriend's lap and wrapped the other back around the omega's waist.

❝i guess i'll be the one convincing jisung.❞ he suggested, earning a nod from them.

happily clasping his hands together, donghyuck now had a bright smile on his face. ❝we're all set then!❞

⚠️

spending the whole two hours being scolded for causing damage not just to a school property but also for beating up students badly, jisung finally got out of the office and the first thing he had to be greeted with was a hard punch coming from an alpha. it was no other than chenle's cousin, yukhei. if he was in his right mind then he would have returned that punch, it honestly hurt him bad, but he didn't know what had gotten to him that he did nothing and just let the alpha vent out his anger on him.

if it weren't for chenle's friend, and also jeno, arriving on time then the alpha would have possibly beaten him up like how jisung almost killed the students who attempted to touch chenle. jeno then started to explain to yukhei and even though the alpha had apologized, the pure blooded remained expressionless. it was as if he had no soul, he just stood there with eyes getting worried for his state.

jisung just let the day pass by while looking like a mess. bruises not being treated, hair disheveled, eyes drowsy, and dark circles being present under his eyes for the lack of sleep. he didn't know what was going on with him but he surely felt something lacking. as if something was lost, was gone, and that he was missing it, wanting it, and needing it.

now being sprawled down the bed after a warm bath, he still didn't look different from how he was the whole day. he did the same thing as what he had done last night after the incident, stare out of no where and space out.

his anger came rushing back the moment he could see a picture of the omega's face when he suffered being molested by those alphas. jisung's fists were then clenched and he blamed himself for not being able to arrive earlier.

❝jisung, aren't you going to eat?❞ jeno arrived to their shared room after practice and turned the lights on, seeing jisung laying there with tears falling down from his eyes. it surprised him and made him panic, quickly rushing towards the younger after placing the plastic bags down the sofa. ❝jisung!?❞

❝hyung..❞ the pure blooded down the bed curled into a ball as he continued to sob, not caring his tears filled his covers. ❝i c-can't breathe.❞

muttering a curse word, jeno dipped his hand inside his pocket and was about to make a call outside the room but his hand was immediately grabbed by the younger who still continued to cry.

❝le..❞ sniffles echoed inside the room along with his cries. ❝d-don't leave m-me..❞

he was hallucinating, starting to think that it was chenle there with him.

heaving out a sigh, jeno placed his phone back inside his pocket after canceling his call with jaemin. he then walked closer to the crying male and crouched down right beside his bed, running a hand through his hair and stroked it gently. ❝jisung, happy thoughts. think of happy thoughts, slowly take a deep breath, and exhale. i'm here, don't worry.❞

but all he could think of was the omega. his smile, his laugh, how adorable his pout is whenever he'd be too focused or is simply upset, and how the omega just overall makes his day. those were his happy thoughts, that's what he is just thinking while taking deep breaths and holding jeno's hand tightly.

❝is he okay?❞ that was the first thing that came out from his mouth, more like a whisper.

jeno was close enough to hear it. he then nodded his head while he continued to stroke the younger's hair, ❝he's fine.❞

actually no, he isn't. he had just received a message coming from donghyuck that chenle was starting to shout in pain and they were afraid that he won't be able to handle it by himself.

❝ji?❞

the called male only had calm breaths as an answer, not letting go of jeno's hand. his tears were drying up but he was not dozing off to sleep. he wanted to sleep, he was lacking sleep.

❝would you..❞ jeno paused for a moment before he could speak because jisung was looking like he, too, was in pain. ❝want to see him?❞

is that even a question? was it not obvious enough that he's suffering without him around? he's usually not like this. chenle had tried going away for a day without him and he didn't feel any pain with it. but now, he felt like his whole body was being lowered down to fire. his inner alpha wailing out in sorrow as if it was being separated by something— or someone. he had only managed to deal with it for a day but he was afraid that if it goes on, he wouldn't be able to keep it up.

was chenle the reason why he's acting like this? if yes, then he wants to see him. even if it's a no, he still wants to see him. to know if he was doing fine, if the incident is still stuck inside his head. he wanted him in his arms and comfort him till he'd hush down. he badly wants to be with him.

now, does he want to see him? he was nodding his head aggressively and his inner pure blooded alpha was howling a yes. yet, he was scared.

what if he won't be able to control himself?
