Chenle gifted Jisung a MacBook.

At this point, Jeno stopped caring.

He was at his night job and jisung had gone out to have dinner with Renjun's and Chenle's parents.

Jeno was nervous, his brother is a sweet boy. He hoped that Chenle's parents would love him as much as he does.

If everything went in their favour then Jeno would stop annoying everyone and just mind his own business of going back and forth from jobs and apartment.

Speaking of apartments, Jeno decided that he'd rent out a smaller and cheaper goshiwon since Jisung would be moving out.

He also had to ask Hyuck a favour, he didn't have enough money to pay next month's rent. He was in a dire situation.

He was ashamed, he also knew that Donghyuck wouldn't take lent money back but he couldn't go knocking at Yoongi's door every time he needed the money.

Asking for an advance salary wasn't enough. Therefore, it was not an option.

Donghyuck was his only saviour.

He rinsed the chopsticks and dried them, he went to the front of the stall to gather the used utensils and wipe the table. He kept the dirty dishes in the washing area and went back to the table.

He put chopsticks in a holder and grabbed the jug, he filled it with water and placed it back on the table.

He went back to washing area, he squatted on floor and washed all the dishes.

This went on for hours and hours.

Around twelve-thirty fife Jeno was allowed to go. He bowed to the owner as he left the stall.

" Jisung-ah, must be home now. I wonder how dinner went, hope everything was alright." Jeno looked at the sky, silently praying to god.

Thick blanket of clouds covered the sky. Jeno wondered how he missed it . It would definitely rain tonight. His pace increased but unfortunately he couldn't outrun the drizzling clouds.

By the time he reached, he was dripping wet. His hair stuck to his forehead and his tote was wet too.

He quickly took out his phone, to check if it was dry due to some miracle. He was not lucky at all.

The phone looked like it had taken a shower.

He sighed as he opened the door.

" You're home! You're soaking!" Jisung stated.

" Yea, I'll take a quick shower then ask you about the dinner." Jisung nodded.

" Ah, I'm hungry... but it's too late!" Jeno whispered to himself.

" But I'm hungry..." he closed his eyes, his stomach growled.

" So... how was it?"

" I found out that his birth father is mated to three more alphas excluding his biological father. One of them is Renjun's."

" really?! Wow, that's new."

" I know! They seemed so intimidating at first but they are so soft spoken and gentlemen. I shouldn't say this but I think they liked me... his birth father said that he would love to go on a lunch date with Renjun and I !"

" that is wonderful! I'm so happy for you!" Jeno grinned.

He wrapped his arms around Jisung's waist and rested his head on younger's chest.

They cuddled under the blanket talking about the dinner.

On the other side of the city, Mark Lee had his arm wrapped around his mate who's eyes were glued to the tv but Mark's gaze was only locked on his face.

He rubbed circles on Donghyuck's pudgy belly.  He leaned his head on younger's shoulder.

" You know I love you a lot, right?"

Donghyuck looked at his Alpha, " No, I didn't..."

Mark chuckled, " Now you know..." he kissed Donghyuck's shoulder blade.

Donghyuck traced Mark's jaw, " You're so cute!" He whispered.

Mark looked in Donghyuck's eyes.

" I act before thinking about the consequences of my actions. I hurt your feelings so much. I'll try to be a good alpha."

"Mark, are you alright?"

" Yeah, I am." Mark smiled softly.

" then why are suddenly speaking like this?"

" I thought that I should confront you and tell you how much I hate myself whenever you cry because of me... sometimes, I feel as if you deserved someone better. You're my sunshine..." Mark paused.

" I have nightmares about waking up alone in the morning." Hyuck gasped.

" Is that why you wouldn't stop hugging me this morning?" Mark nodded shyly.

" Yea, I thought you left me for real."

" Aww... my baby lion is such a sweetheart," Donghyuck cooed at his alpha.

" well, I need to stop hurting your feelings. It's not good for you." Mark patted Donghyuck's stomach.

Taeyong laid alone on his bed, his alphas were too busy with their work. He scrolled through his phone, looking at pictures of his friends with their babies.

He sighed...

Tears escaped his eyes, he had everything in the world he could wish for, yet, he slept alone most of the nights.

Johnny would lock himself up in his study or be out on a business trip, while Jaehyun, that boy would stay in hospital for weeks without any care in the world.

Yuta laid down on the mattress with Shotaro, tired from working all day.

Thoughts of his Alpha lingered in his head.

His alpha was too busy dating another alpha.

He didn't know what to do, he was pregnant, leaving Sicheng's house would only lead to misery. His child may, may not even have a roof over their head.

Sicheng was the sweetest baby, but it all changed when he presented as an alpha and Yuta presented as an omega.

Yuta's sweetheart became a dick overnight.

Yuta couldn't reveal that he was pregnant with Sicheng's baby. It hurt when his alpha ignored him, only speaking when he needed something.

Kun was polite, always treating Yuta respectfully. Sicheng's eyes would burn hole in his head. Poor omega didn't understand whether it was due to fact that 'he' was interacting with alpha's finacé or because Kun was interacting with 'him'.

He stayed away from them when they were together.

Next day,

A big package was left outside Jeno's room. Jisung was the first one to leave the room. He checked the name and address to check if someone left it by mistake. 

Jeno's name was engraved on it. 

" Hyung there is a big parcel with your name on it." Jisung informed.

" my name? It's for me ? Read again, it must be someone else's..."  older spoke in disbelief.

He had never received any order in his life.

" Well, I can read just fine, it's for you!"

" Is there an address of the sender?"

"Yea, company's address is written on it."

" Should we return it?"

" What? No! Open it!"

" Umm... okay."

Jisung brought the box inside, and cut the tape with a knife.

There were a lot of stuff in the bag.

Jeno took out each packet that was neatly wrapped. He tore open the first packet. The first packet had a big light blue faded denim jacket.it was too big for him but it was very pretty. He opened the next packet, it contained a black skinny jeans, too skinny for his liking. In the next packet there was a plain white T-shirt.

He was confused, who would send him this?

Jisung was smiling softly he liked it, it was the first time his brother was receiving a gift.

"There is more stuff inside." he chided.

Indeed there was another box, he opened it.it had a pair of sneakers to so with the outfit.

"Oh , look there is a note inside the box!"

Jeno, swiftly opened the note,

'your phone was switched off. So, I had to send all of this stuff to your house. Please, get ready on Saturday, 11 am. Renjun & I will come to pick you up for our date.

Love, Jaemin.

And ReNJUn 💋'

Jeno stared at the floor. Blood rushed to his ears.

Later that day,

" Ah, Hyuckie, thank you for meeting me on such a short notice."

" Please, I'm a housewife. Don't flatter me, my ego will shoot higher that cloud 9."

"I, Uh... I need your help."

" Yes? Speak freely."

" Actually, I need, uhh... money. I'm falling short on cash. I don't have enough to pay next month's rent. I've only managed to earn some of it... I'll be in your debt . Please, could you help me?"

" Jeno, was this the serious problem you were talking about?" Jeno nodded.

Haechan slapped the back of his head harder.

"For fucks sake! I thought your were pregnant or something!" Jeno squeaked.

" Jaemin and Renjun sent a big box filled with new clothes and shoes. There was a note, they asked me out on a date." He pouted. " What should I do ?" He questioned.

" Go!" Haechan yelled.

"oh! And there were bunch of lip glosses in it!" Jeno grinned.

Both of them bickered until the sun set.

Jenjen serving looks 🥺
