Whatever happened that night, Jeno's –unfortunate for him– great memory couldn't let go of the scenario.

He somehow got more tense whenever the married couple were around, he was petrified that they will start screaming at each other again out of nowhere.

Which has happened about almost everynight now, the two raising their voices cussing at each other, Jeno leading Natalia to her bedroom and helping her get to sleep, the door slamming downstairs, Jaemin drinking some alcohol as he gets drunk.

The omega has memorized the new routine after a week, yet he still isn't used to it, nor will he ever be in the future.

What bothered him the most was the mixture of the pure alpha's strong scent and his low yet loud strict voice as it spreads through the house.

He shivers everytime he hears him, sees him, smells him, and also makes some physical contact with him whenever he's serving the elder with his orders.

He has tried to avoid it, avoid making any contact with Jaemin. But stopped when he realized that he's doing the same thing he did with his parents, the only difference is he isn't the one getting yelled or hit at.

Heejin's presence was getting less and less in the household. She was mostly out to a friend's house or at work,  going home whenever Jaemin is asleep after drinking a whole bottle of alcohol.

Jeno was scared at what's happening, but is mostly scared for Natalia's well-being and poor childhood, the little girl was living in a toxic household.

However, Natalia wasn't scared, shocked, or sad. She was most likely disappointed and angry at her parents, but never dared to say anything.

She simply listens to them screaming, watch how they look at each other with rage in their eyes, both when Heejin decides to throw something to the ground as the object shatters making Jeno flinch in fright while Jaemin remains still with anger.

Natalia was used to this kind of behavior with her parents, Jeno has learned. Doyoung confirmed it by the stories he shared about the previous arguments the married couple had.

Though, the omega will still have the feeling of worry towards the little girl. What could happen in the future if she lives with this her whole life.

That's why Jeno is working extra hard than before, leading Natalia away from the scene and slowly teaching her what are the rights and wrongs. Making her understand more on what goes on in the cruel world.

He's not letting the little girl to be influenced with such behaviors by some disgusting and prideful alphas.

"Jeno," Jaemin calls out from the kitchen as he types away on his laptop to finish more paperwork. "Come here for a second."

The omega that was in the living room with Jaehyun and Natalia, excuses himself at the two before heading towards the kitchen where his boss is located.

"Yes Mr. Na?" The brunet politely asked as he straightened his clothes that were wrinkled from having a tickle fight with Jaemin's daughter.

The pure alpha looked up, dark bags under his eyes from spending countless of sleeping nights working away, and his whole aura just screams exhausted.

"Are you free this Friday?" He asked letting out a yawn before leaning back and taking a big gulp of his fifth coffee drink this afternoon.

Jeno tilts his head and nodded remembering his schedules for this week, "I've finished most of the chores in the past few days so I wouldn't be too busy on Friday, why so Mr. Na?"

The pink haired hums, "why don't you go with us this Friday to join a celebration of my employee's successful promotion?" He invited.

The omega widened his eyes like dolls, "me?" He asked baffled and pointing a finger at himself still trying to process what his boss just said.

Jaemin snorts and rolled his eyes making Jeno feel a bit tense thinking he made the elder annoyed for his confusion.

"Yes you, do I have any other omega and maid who's name is Jeno Lee in this house?" The elder said clicking his tongue.

The younger gulped and shook his head, "no sir, I apologise for my stupidity." He said bowing his head feeling ashamed.

"I never said you were stupid did I? More likely to be naive and oblivious," Jaemin stated clicking his finger against his cup.

"I'm sor–"

"Stop apologizing when I didn't scold you, I corrected you. You didn't do anything wrong so far," the pure alpha interrupts with his voice stern.

Jeno nodded and zipped his mouth shut, inwardly scolding himself for being an embarrassment towards the pure alpha. Seriously, what kind of omega is he?

Jaemin then straightened his posture rolling his shoulders back as he stretched his muscles after hours just sitting there while his fingers typed on the keyboard until they were numbed.

"B-but why sir?" The brunet asked quietly after a minute of silence with his voice croaky and fiddled with the hem of his sweater out of habit.

The pink haired sighs, "I'm simply inviting you to party after months just spending inside here with my daughter unless you have to do some groceries. And now you're rejecting my invite? Don't let people think I lock you up in here Jeno."

The omega pursed his lips nodding his head in obedience and understanding.

His bond –if they even have one– with the pure alpha was almost the same as if the latter didn't just compliment him while drunk, in several nights.

Jaemin didn't speak up about it, nor did Jeno himself. They pretended as if nothing happened when the workaholic and alcoholic man said something towards him with some tint of lust in his eyes.

The omega doesn't even know if the pure alpha with pink hair CEO business man remembers the night before. So he chose to keep silent and continue his duties with a feeling of tense and shiver on his spine.

Although he wanted to protest since it's a public party full of strangers especially alphas and betas, he doesn't want to upset his boss than the latter already is after the argument with his wife this morning.

"But what about Natalia, sir?" He asked looking worried for the little girl as an instinct for being her babysitter and for being an omega. "Who will take care of her?"

"You will still be able to take care of her, but I'm letting you choose between leaving her here with Doyoung and Jaehyun to look after or bring her with us." Jaemin stated.

Jeno widened his eyes at the last suggestion, "no sir, no need to bring her to an adult party. Just leave her here with two people we can count on," he said with his voice now stern.

Somehow, the tone made Jaemin raise a brow but at the same time impressed.

The brunet is usually scared and quiet, always having his voice soft and small or just letting himself shut up if he chose to do so.

But he never had this type of voice towards Jaemin or anyone, to sound so sure and strict yet saying it in the most polite and nice way he can.

It was either for being Natalia's babysitter and it was part of his duty while at it, or it was because of his omega instincts.

Either way, the pure alpha seemed impressed at how the usual closed off omega could change into a more confident and protective type.

"I supposed so," Jaemin hums as he takes another gulp of his coffee glancing at his work on his laptop.

Jeno nodded feeling satisfied on the agreement, no way is he letting a little girl go out to an adult business party as there are predators out there that could steal both of them if they wanted.

He watches as the pure alpha placed his cup down and looks at him, "get me another cup please, and massage my shoulders, they're aching from just sitting here like a moron."

The omega nodded and grabbed the empty cup as he went to the kitchen counter to make another drink for his boss while muttering how "it's because of your posture, you moron" quietly.
