Chapter Fifty (1/1)

Seokmin looks at Hoshi who looks at Wonwoo.  They all give each other a concerned glare.  Hoshi shakes his head and Wonwoo nods.  Seokmin sighs and walks faster to catch up with Woozi.  Meanwhile, Wonwoo keeps an eye on the male who seems to follow Woozi everywhere.  The male that was with Woozi any time he could be in the stork school.  Yeosang was following Woozi everywhere. Yeosang even went into classrooms he didn't belong to just to look at Woozi.  Woozi tried to ignore the male's presence, the other siblings could tell.  The male was desperate for attention.  The male wanted Woozi's attention.  But all he got was a cold shoulder. "Oh, Yeosang?"  Woozi was with his group.  He quickly became popular across the whole college campus.  "He's an amateur at almost everything.  I mean, he can't even break a piece of cardboard with his hand."  He chuckled, making the others chuckle too. Seokmin lifted his eyebrows as he noticed the said male was only a few seats away from Woozi.  Watching the shorter.  Never breaking his upset glare.  Never defending himself from the little claims Woozi makes: how much Yeosang is a loser or how much Yeosang is a mistake.  But Yeosang never budges.  He just watches. Seokmin sighed inwardly and turned a page of his textbook, breaking eye contact with the other crow in the room.  His mind wandered to another crow he knows:  Sungjae.  How the boy would make the classroom lively, or at least it made Seokmin lively.  He closed his eyes as he imagined the boy smiling at him.

The reality is, Sungjae is a screeching crow.  His parents were arranged to be married and they were told to have at least one child.  Sungjae was that child.  They never tried again and divorced not much longer after Sungjae graduated, leaving the boy to live on his own in Suji-gu.  But Sungjae always had a weird dream.

There was a time he and his parents got along.  And it was when his fathers took him to an abandoned subway station to play quietly.  Sungjae bought the subway in hopes he can restore it.  And since graduation, Seokmin and Sungjae have been apart.  He visits during the graduation periods though.

Sungjae..  Seokmin blushed as he noticed he'd been drawing the male on his notebook.  He chuckled and changed the page, noticing the teacher coming in and Yeosang leaving. Seokmin noticed the upset glare Woozi had when the younger left.  He wasn't upset-looking when the younger was watching him.  Woozi was upset that Yeosang left.  He still likes Yeosang, doesn't he..?  He inwardly sighed and looked at the teacher.

Wonwoo enters the study room and sees Nana.  He smiled and sat across from her.  He gave her a smile, but the girl didn't give her usual small smile back.  He noticed her writing had a lot of pressure in it.  The numbers were boldly written on her math sheet.  He then noticed her hand move from the table to under it. He furrowed his eyebrows and cleared his throat.  "Are you okay?"  He asked, leaning closer. "I'm fine, please give me space."  She grumbled. "Did I do something wrong?"  He was concerned.  "Am I talking too much lately?  Or am I coming here too often?  Am I-" "Wonwoo,"  She interrupted,  "it's not you.."  She sighed. Wonwoo's stare got stronger.  "Did someone hurt you?  Tell me who."  He cracked his knuckles.  "I'll go ShenZhen style on their ass."  He stood up with rage. She chuckled a bit.  "No one did anything to me."  She put her hand up.  "It's just.." "Just what?"  He sat back down slowly.  "Is studying giving you a headache?"  He asked. She shook her head.  "You wouldn't understand, it's a girl thing."  She said. "I'll do my best to understand."  He smiled.  "What is it?"  He asked. She saw his warm stare and faintly blushed.  "It's my period.."  She said.  He made an oh expression.  "My classmates used to talk about it often,"  Wonwoo said, "do you need pain medicine?  Oranges are good too.  Do you like dark chocolate?  It's okay to get your cravings out."  He smiled and stood up. She held her smile as his smile kept getting bigger.  "I could actually go for some dark chocolate, now that you mention it."  She replied. He put his hand softly on her shoulder.  "I'll be right back.  I'll get you some."  He said, sprinting out of the room. He looked at the vending machines.  He spotted some dark chocolate bars with granola inside.  He took his wallet out and looked at the allowance he was given along with a credit card in the case he needed something outside his allowance.  He took out a bill and inserted it, picking out the dark chocolate. He then ran back quietly to the room.  "Here, I'll get something better tomorrow."  He put it on her side of the table. She blushed when they made eye contact.  "You don't have to.."  She thanked. "You're right, I don't understand it personally, but I want you to be happy during it."  He spoke softly.  "If you want, I can take the bus with you instead of you walking all the way home."  He offered. She put her hands up.  "I don't want you going out of your way too much."  She had to be modest. He stood up and leaned over the table, putting a kiss on her cheek.  "Knowing you're doing okay will make me sleep better."  He said.  "I want to take care of you."  He was honest. She looked down and nodded, stopping fighting his offers.  "Thank you, Wonwoo." ***A week had passed and Seungcheol noticed an increase of the use of a credit card.  Seeing the number, he knows it's Wonwoo.  Seungcheol leaves from work a little early and drives to the school.  He notices the students coming out of the buildings.  He spots Wonwoo walking with a girl to the library. He catches up to them, making Wonwoo shocked.  "Dad?"  Wonwoo bowed.  "What are you doing here?"  He asked. "Checking up on you,"  He answered, "don't be rude, introduce me."  He said playfully. Wonwoo nodded, looking at Nana.  "Nana, this is my father, Choi Seungcheol.  Dad, this is Yang Nana."  He introduced. Seungcheol smiled when she bowed.  "We're study partners."  Nana said.  "My father is Yang Taiyang."  She mentioned. "Taiyang, he's a good worker."  He said before looking Wonwoo's way.  "Miss Nana, I need to borrow my son for a moment.  He'll meet you inside soon."  He said to the girl. "Yes, Sir."  She bowed and left the two males. Seungcheol slowly looked at Wonwoo.  "Let's talk in the car."  He instructed. The two sit in the back. There was a momentary silence before Seungcheol started talking.  "Let me start off by saying I'm not mad at you."  Seungcheol said.  "I've noticed that you've been using your credit card every day this past week on candy, bus rides, and pain medicine."  He mentioned. "Is everything okay?"  Seungcheol asked. Wonwoo nodded and looked down.  "I've been helping Nana out this week.."  He said right away. "Is she okay?"  Seungcheol asked. "It was her period, and I wanted her to be comfortable.  It hurt seeing her look so down."  Wonwoo admitted. Seungcheol raised his eyebrows.  "Odd that a friend would tell you something so personal."  He commented. Wonwoo sighed.  "She's my girlfriend, Dad." He corrected. "Girlfriend?  She introduced herself as your study partner."  Seungcheol said in disbelief. Wonwoo nodded.  "Yeah..  she's really shy, Dad.  I've been slowly introducing her to the others."  He said.  "I wanted to introduce you and Jeong-dad last, being that she'd be the most nervous with you two."  He explained.

Seungcheol hummed.  "I'm sure Jeonghan will blow it up out of proportion too.."  He held his chin.  "Let's come up with a way to introduce them subtly, you know?"  He smiled. Wonwoo nodded.  "Maybe I can invite her for dinner sometime in the future.  Everything goes smoothly when there's food involved."  He snapped his fingers. "Sounds good.  Tell me when she meets everyone, and then we can set something up."  Seungcheol held Wonwoo's shoulder.  "And what do her parents think of you two dating?"  He asked. "Mr. Yang is happy.. he's a widower."  He included, making Seungcheol nod.

"I see.. well keep doing well, I won't keep you any longer."  Wonwoo smiled and bowed, getting out of the car when Seungcheol signaled him to.  Seungcheol went to the driver's seat and smiled.  They're all growing, aren't they..?  He sighed and shifted the gear, backing out of the parking space.

*** Joshua looked at the timer on the oven.  He nodded and walked out of the kitchen, accidentally bumping into Jaemin.  What surprised him more than the male suddenly being there was that a caramel candy dropped from Jaemin's pocket. He bent down to pick it up.  "You don't like caramel."  He said to the boy. "Oh.."  Jaemin scratched his neck.  "Your dad does."  He pointed out, taking the caramel back when Joshua put it out for him. "My dad?  Why do you bring him up?"  Joshua folds his arms. Jaemin put the caramel back in his pocket.  "We were playing on the Switch the other day, I must have left it in my pocket."  He replied.

Joshua widened his eyes.  "Hold up.  You and my dad were playing a video game together?"  He asked in shock.  "Yeah, he was bored so he asked if we could play together."  Jaemin said, looking around the cafe to make sure they're not needed. Joshua shook his head.  "You mean one of the days you were working at the convenience store?"  He asked. "Yeah.. I was supposed to be, but he insisted we play again."  He said. "Again?!"  Joshua grabbed the younger's wrist, pulling him into the kitchen.  "How many times has he asked to play?"

Jaemin counted in his head.  "Only three.  Once last week and twice this week."  He answered honestly.  "He never told you?  That's weird."  He folded his arms. "Well.."  Joshua sighed.  "Don't be jealous,"  Jaemin whispered, putting his hands on Joshua's hips, "we have a much funner game we play together."  He said, getting closer to the other male. Joshua blushed and let the boy put their lips together.  He quietly moaned when he felt the wall behind his back.  He put his hands on the younger's shoulders, tilting his head as the kiss got deeper. "You want to play tonight?"  Jaemin asked.  "I finally bought some condoms."  He chuckled. "Okay.. Love me tonight."  Joshua permitted, putting their lips together again briefly. Jaemin watches in the corner of his eye as Joshua texts who he assumes is Jeonghan.  He smiles and tends to the customers at the counter.  When it became nighttime, Joshua didn't hesitate going into Jaemin's car. After dinner, they lay on the younger's bed together.  Their legs were tangled together as their lips were one.  The light is off, giving an angsty vibe to the couple.  "Jae.."  Joshua lightly moaned as he felt those full lips on his neck.  "C-can I lead tonight?"  He shyly asked. "I don't mind,"  Jaemin spoke softly, letting the older take control, "it's love either way."  He smiled as he felt the warmth between them. The warmth wasn't like if you bundled yourself in a blanket or turned on the heater.  It was a feeling that the two felt together, and only together.  Joshua went atop the younger, putting kisses everywhere on the skin he's revealing.  He could imagine those toned abs under his fingertips as he kissed Jaemin's chest.  Protection was everything he felt when feeling the man's muscles.  Pulling down the younger's pajama pants, Joshua puts his lips around Jaemin's semi-hard member.  Joshua felt the man under him shudder, putting his hand gently through Joshua's hair. "Joshua.."  Jaemin moaned as he felt the older's tongue circle his head.  The said male relaxed his tongue, letting Jaemin's dick go further down his throat.  He closed his eyes as he bobbed his head, imagining the man's dick going in and out of him.  "Jo-Josh-u-ahh.."  Jaemin gasped and let his body curl naturally to the pleasure Joshua's mouth is giving him. Joshua took the younger out and kissed up to the base before sitting on his knees.  "Your turn,"  He whispered as he put his lips on Jaemin's neck, putting light sucks on his Adam's apple. Jaemin took the older's hips, guiding him down onto his erection.  Joshua held his mouth and fought back screaming.  The younger then realized what he did.  "I'm so sorry, Josh."  He snapped out of his daze, carefully changing their position.  "Are you okay?"  He asked, stretching his body to turn the lamp on. They make eye contact.  Tears are pooling against Joshua's eyes as the male holds his mouth.  "Josh.. I'm an idiot, I'm sorry."  He stroked Joshua's hair.  He took Joshua's hand in his, ready to look at the flushed face.  "It hurts, Jae.."  Joshua said, a tear coming down and onto the other's bed. "I know, I'm sorry."  Jaemin furrowed his eyebrows.  "I'm so so sorry."  He pursed his lips. Joshua wipes his eyes and reaches to cup the younger's cheek.  "I forgive you.."  He said weakly.  "No.. don't forgive me so easily."  Jaemin said, looking across the older's pained expression.  "I hurt you, I promised to never hurt you." Joshua smiled sadly.  "You didn't do it on purpose,"  He said, "let's just wait a couple more minutes.  Okay?  Everything's going to be alright."  He assured. Jaemin nodded and put his face in the older's neck.  "I'm sorry.."  He apologized for the nth time.

A few minutes pass by in silence.  Joshua feels the throbbing has gone away.  "Slowly, Jae.. Slowly love me."  He said.  "Like the first time."  He instructed. Jaemin obeyed, keeping his hands on the older's hips and his lips on Joshua's neck.  "Just like that,"  Joshua hummed, "you're doing fine, Love."  Joshua whispered. Joshua could feel the younger didn't have the confidence like he normally has.  He doesn't have the warm and light feeling they normally share.  "If you're not into it anymore, don't force yourself."  Joshua commented, feeling their spark had left. Jaemin nodded and slowly got out of the older.  "I just.. Feel so guilty."  He said, pulling Joshua close to his chest. "I know.."  Joshua replied.  "Let's do this a different time.  Maybe in the morning."  He insisted, kissing the younger softly. Jaemin hummed.  "I'll do better."  He promised.  

And yes, Josh was jealous hahah

I can just imagine, everyone's getting in the mood of the scene and then it all gets ruined with Jaemin's actions. >...<
