Thankue again! You really didn't have to but thankueeee >w<

⚘

Haechan, the whole entire day and their shift, couldn't help but mutter out some incoherent words while they worked.

He kept giving Jeno some looks everytime he glances at him, the omega raised a brow but paid to no mind since the alpha was acting like this since he told him this morning.

He just hopes that the alpha isn't mad at him, he knows the tanned male can be protective of him since he's his best friend and it's one of his first instincts.

Hence why he scents Jeno everytime they meet, especially on long shifts or whenever he has that 'weird alpha gut feeling' or danger senses he's been talking about.

There were even times he'd fake things for the sake of Jeno's safety, he's a purebred omega after all roaming around in a dangerous world with no exact mated alpha by his side.

Don't even get me started with that time he faked a bite mark on Jeno's neck when an annoying cocky alpha male waltz in the bakery and decided to why not try to flirt with Jeno, who's been uncomfortable and scared the whole time.

It was really simple for Haechan's opinion, faking a bite mark on Jeno's neck and kept the purebred omega by his side with his arm draped around him as he scents him a lot until finally, the alpha male storms off.

They like to make jokes about it from time to time nowadays, Haechan teasing the purebred omega a lot from his shameless flirting while Jeno tries to do the same before pushing him away.

"Okay shift's done, now let's talk." Haechan announced with a tint of sarcasm in his voice before grabbing Jeno by the arm and heading towards the backroom where their respective bags were waiting for them.

He closes the door shut and turns to Jeno with a raised brow, clearly he's trying to look and sound angry, but he actually isn't. If anything, he's just confused.

It seems like Jeno took his aura too seriously and didn't realize the alpha was just messing around with him, because he makes a small whining noise and tries to look away.

Haechan noticed the purebred omega almost looking like he's shrinking– well he's trying to in his clothes.

"Wait no, Jeno. I was just kidding, I'm not mad or anything okay? I'm just confused," he quickly halts his ' scary alpha aura' and pulls the boy in a friendly hug.

Jeno sighs when the tanned male lets out his pheromones carefully, not a lot but just a bit. The purebred omega has gotten used to his honey yet coffee like smell, so he doesn't have to be scared about it.

Sometimes he thinks if Haechan is his actual alpha, but then again they've already came to an agreement that they're nothing more than just very close friends.

Now that he thinks about it, Haechan takes care of him a lot, but he doesn't get the tingly feeling he gets like he does with Jaemin around him.

Besides, they did almost kissed one time when he accidentally slipped whilst mopping the floor, Haechan had caught him but immediately pulls his face away when their lips almost touched.

"You're cute Jen, but you're like a brother to me in a way. We both know that by now, right?"

And they did, because the more Jeno observed their behavior, the more he laughs about it.

He thinks he was probably desperate at that time to find an alpha because he was usually too scared to even come out from his room for obvious reasons.

He just wanted an alpha to protect him at all cost.

"I'm okay now, sorry... It was in instinct." Jeno mumbled as he pulled himself away a bit from Haechan's hold.

The tanned male nodded watches Jeno calm himself down a bit more until he smiles slowly.

He takes it as his cue to finally speak, "when? How? Huh? You said you– okay, hold on. You're kidding right?" He began to ramble.

The purebred omega snorts at him and shook his head, "long story short, I gave him a chance and turns out he might not be that bad, maybe even better than what Renjun had kept describing him as."

"A flirtatious idiotic vampire?" Haechan guesses with eyebrows knitted together.

Jeno laughs at him, "good guess, close I think. But he kept saying dumbass or some other stuff." He said which earned a hum.

"But what happened? Like when? Did I miss something?"

"Can you stop asking me questions like that? It's making me confused on how to answer them like back in elementary and middle school." Jeno whined.

Rolling his eyes, Haechan gave him a look to which he sighed with his cheeks heating up which may have made it give the tanned male an urge to tease him.

He doesn't though, because Jeno would probably end up not answering his questions at all anymore.

"We hung out in my apartment."

"Oh my god, my best friend isn't a pure omega anymore. What has this guy turned you into? Imma beat a bitch up right now." Haechan dramatically reacts to his answer.

The purebred omega smacks him on the arm, which he doesn't feel anything from but ends up exaggerating it anyway with a small 'ow' as he rubs the spot.

"Shut up, you're the one being dirty! We didn't do anything but got to know each other like asking things."

"How boring, this Renjun dude set you guys up right?" Haechan guesses again, which he earned a nod from this time. "Well he sucks at it."

Scoffing, Jeno turns towards his bag and checks his things in it while Haechan quickly did the same. "Listen, you know me, tell me more details later on yeah? If I hear one bad thing about him doing something to you–"

"You'd skin him alive and stab him with a wooden stake. Yes, I know." Jeno smiles goofily.

Grinning to himself, "but I hope he really isn't bad to you, Jen. You seem happy with him even when you guys aren't official yet." Haechan said more genuine this time.

He earned a delightful laugh from Jeno, "don't worry, you and Renjun can team up if you want. But Jaemin is nice so far, he's been flirting a lot but yeah, he's nice."

"That reminds me," Haechan calls out with a teasing smirk. "He calls you 'Sweets'?"

"Okay, bye Haechannie~ time to go home now." Jeno announced loudly with his face reddening as he grabs his bag and gets his card to sign in his ending shift.

The tanned male huffs, "atleast let me scent you first, don't go home alone without smelling like me." He rolled his eyes.

Jeno only giggles and runs up to him to give a tight hug whilst getting scented by Haechan's pheromones. He waves goodbye before running off outside.
