Once Jeno had calmed down, Yangyang hands him a tissue and asks, "why did you cry?" In a gentle manner, not wanting to make the brunet cry again.

Jeno blows into the tissue Yangyang had given him, "I fe-felt bad, be-because Ja-Jaeminnie hyung-" he couldn't finish his sentence as he felt a light squeeze on his side.

He looks up to meet the mentioned vampire boy, looking at him in both the cold and strict manner as usual but also a little hint of warmth from those eyes.

"Stop crying," Jaemin muttered while Jeno sniffles and cuddles closer to his chest. He groans, "stop crying over me." Rolling his eyes.

Yangyang flicks him on the forehead out of the blue, not letting out a sound by the action but his eyes said more than he would have.

He ignores his friend and gives them a look to back off a bit, Yangyang raising his hands up lazily before joining Hendery on the table in the other side of the room.

The two of them drank a pack of blood whilst keeping an eye on their friend and his 'soulmate', watching and eavesdropping immediately.

"I'm so-sorry, Jaemin hyung." Jeno hiccups and rubs his face against the elder's chest, getting the shirt dirty by his tears and mucus.

The vampire boy huffs, and lifts his chin up with his two fingers, eyes squinting into a stern look. "Stop apologizing." He said.

Jeno was about to say 'sorry' but stops himself the last second, pursing his lips together before jutting them out into a pout while nodding.

"Okay..." He whispered and wipes his runny nose with the back of his hand right as he sniffles.

After a minute or two of hearing the brunet sniffling and letting out hiccups, Yangyang decides to ask again. "Are you okay now?"

Nodding slightly, Jeno turns to give him a small smile before sighing. "I just felt bad because Jaemin hyung had to go through that," the way he said it was obvious for the others that he had more to come.

And of course, Yangyang liking this Jeno Lee kid that his friend was lucky to be soulmates with– even though Jaemin himself is still in denial or whatever, he reassures him.

"And? You can say it." He said while Hendery nodded beside him, smiling sweetly but a little creepily thanks to the blood on his fangs and chin.

"I want to help Jaeminnie hyung." Glancing at the said boy right as he said that, his eyes wide and shining that it made Jaemin gulp unknowingly.

"By how?" Hendery asks this time, cutting off the small pause of silence, eyes glancing back and forth between the other two boys.

"By letting him stay with me." Jeno said more enthusiastically, his usual happy-go-lucky character back for them to see.

Jaemin furrowed his eyebrows while ignoring his shocked friends in the corner of his eye, "why?"

It's always 'why', always asking Jeno as to why he had come up with these things and why he's so persistent on them.

The younger beams at him, "same reason of the 'feeding yourself' deal," he answered nonchalantly.

Jaemin scoffs, "you're at it again," he muttered.

"What am I at it again?" Jeno raised a brow, tilting his head to the side in pure obliviousness.

The elder bites the inside of his cheek, "nothing." He replied in a grumble, which was a big obvious regret of a move for him.

Because the next second, Jeno is whining at him. "What did you mean by that? Hyung~" he circles his arms around Jaemin's shoulders and shakes the elder a little.

The vampire boy groans, "I said nothing, now behave will you?" He scolds curtly.

Jeno pouts yet did as told, halting his movements but his arms were still around Jaemin's shoulders.

Coughing awkwardly, "uh Jeno, did you mean you wanted Jaemin to live with you or...?" Yangyang interrupts them to also seek a few informations.

Turning to look at him, Jeno nods with a wide smile on his face. "Mhmm!" He hums and looks back to his soulmate, "hyung, live with me!" He whines again.

Jaemin groans when Jeno started bouncing on his lap, kicking his legs and basically (weakly) thrashing around like a child.

"What did I say?"

"Sorry, hyung..." The brunet mumbles and stares at him. "But please~ live with me~ I don't like you living here like this," he continued to say.

"I'm fine here."

"Hyung..." Jaemin couldn't believe what the younger is giving him right now. Usual pouty and shiny-wide eyed face, inching closer to his own with the boy's tone cracking.

Jeno's upset.

Scoffing, he leans back and clicks his tongue, "fine, just stop doing that." He muttered in defeat.

The brunet stops and squeals again, moving his arms to wrap them around Jaemin's neck as he pulls their bodies close. Both of their cheeks heating up, but Jaemin turns his head to hide his face.

"I'll be good for you hyung! I'll be the best soulmate and roommate for you!" Jeno exclaimed happily, filled with determination in these kinds of things.

Jaemin just sighs and lets Jeno do his thing, which is being his happy-go-lucky self and clinging onto him so much.

He freezes a bit when the younger did it again.

Jeno kisses him on the cheek and nuzzles his face on his neck afterwards, Jaemin could feel the younger's warm breath hitting his cold skin.

Yangyang raised a brow, wanting to comment something but stops himself, Hendery also about to blurt out the same idea on his mind, until Yangyang nudges his side.

Huffing, Hendery nods and gets the message. "Anyways, Jeno, are you gonna go home now? Don't you have school tomorrow?"

The brunet pulls his face away from Jaemin's neck, looking up at Hendery with a nod. "Oh yeah," he mumbles more likely to himself before turning back to Jaemin.

"Can we walk home together, Jaeminnie hyung?" He asks. Making sure if the elder is staying more for a bit or going home with him now.

The vampire boy chewed on his lip and pulls on it, "yeah, whatever." He mumbled and saw how his friends were grinning at him nearby.

He sends them a stern glare before standing up with ease– still holding the boy on his lap, resulting Jeno to squeak by the sudden action and clings onto him even more.

He puts the younger back down on his feet, letting him regain his balance before cutely– I mean, just normally smiling at him.

"Let's go, hyung!" Jeno cheers, quite ecstatic about his soulmate living with him for now on.

Before they could leave the room after waving goodbye, Jaemin gets a message from Yangyang in his mind, and he wishes he could hiss at him right now if it weren't for Jeno dragging him out by the bicep with a huge grin.

"Talk later when Jeno's at school."

He leaves his friends in the building, rolling his eyes when Jeno was skipping on their walk while Jaemin was just following him with no other choice.

Well, he kinda did had one.

"My dear soulmate, I'll be the best for you!"

"Pup, you keep doing that. I don't know if–"
