"Where are we going?" Jeno timidly questioned.
Renjun looked at him and smiled. " We're going to our favourite restaurant."
" But I have already had dinner." Jeno mumbled

" oh don't worry, you'll lick your fingers when you'll taste the fire chicken." Younger's eyes widened,
" I - I am... I don't eat meat. I'm a vegetarian."
Renjun's mouth dropped.
" Are you serious?" Jeno nodded his head.

" So you're telling me that you have never had a hot pot, chicken wings, any meat at all?" Jaemin enquired.
Jen shook his head.

" Oh my poor baby, you're missing out on so many things." Renjun mumbled.

" We'll change it tonight!"

" Actually, I don't like it. I don't think I'll be able to eat it without puking it."
" Oh honey, we won't force you to eat it. You can order something else." Renjun intertwined his fingers with Jeno.

" We're here." Jaemin announced.
Renjun was the first one to exit out of the car, he slammed the door shut. Jeno panicked, he didn't know how to open the door. It was his first time sitting in a car , last time he sat was wen he was in heat and Jaemin rescued him.

Jaemin notice the distressed scent that filled the car. He looked back at Jeno.

" Honey, What is it? I can smell you."

" I-I don't know how to ... to open the door." Jeno mumbled quietly while looking at his feet.

Jaemin smiled a little, cute, he thought.

He got out of the car as well. Jeno's stress peaked, he pressed himself to the door and placed his hands on the rolled up window in hope for a magic.
Jaemin immediately opened the door for Jeno, " Honey, it's simple. I'll teach you okay?" Jeno nodded.

" You simply pull this thing, okay? Like this. Easy, right?" Jeno brightened up.
" Thank you, it's my first time in sitting in a car." Jeno explained.

Jaemin simply smiled, " Let's go."
Both of them followed Renjun who skipped to the restaurant. It was not a luxurious place but a simple street restaurant.

" Hi, seat for three." Renjun greeted the person working.
" Sorry, lads. There is only room for two."

The trio looked around, indeed, there were only two stools. Renjun and Jaemin glanced at each other then smirked.

" It's okay. We'll manage." Jaemin said.

Jeno stared at the boys. He was confused as to what they meant by managing. Renjun held his wrist and dragged him.

" Uh, one of you will have to stand, unless one of you sits on a lap."

" I .. uh.. I'll stand." Jeno stated, " I'm not hungry honestly." He finished.

" Nonsense!" Jaemin barked and pulled Jeno on his lap. He wrapped his arms around the omega.

Jeno's eyes widened, he stared at Renjun. He wanted to see if the other omega had angry expression on his face. But what suprised him was the grin on Renjun's face.

" I'm jealous, you got to sit on the most comfortable seat." Renjun pouted.

Jeno wanted to hide his face but Jaemin held his hands.
"Let's order," Renjun began. " What do you want to have, Jeno?" Jaemin whispered softly in Jeno's ear.
The said boy shivered, " Uh.. I told you, I have already had dinner, I'm not that hungry."

" Please, you need to try their noodles, they are amazing." Renjun placed their order and ordered few drinks.
" Do you like soju?" Renjun asked.

" Jeno shook his head, "I don't drink." He mumbled. Renjun was speechless.
" We have a saint with us, tonight." Jaemin ruffled Jeno's hair, as leaned forward. Jeno's back was pressed against his chest.
Renjun had smug look on his face. He loved the fact that they got to spend time with their omega. 

" Tell us about yourself, Jeno." Jaemin said.

" Umm.. there is no-nothing interesting about my myself." Jeno mumbled, he didn't wanna do this. He'd ruin their mood, they looked happy he didn't want to see pity in their eyes.

" Still... we want to know. Go on, we'll all take turns." Renjun beamed excitedly.

"I don't know where to start from. Umm, I recently moved back in Seoul with my brother, he applied for a school here but then he got rejected. I am so glad Chenle is helping Jisung. I can't——"
" Honey, How about you begin with your childhood?" Jeno nodded, guess he couldn't divert the topic. Both boys looked adamant.

" I was born in a small village in Incheon, it was just my mom, dad and Jisung. My father was a labourer, and my mom worked in a daycare as a cleaner. My mom passed away when I was six years old, then our father married another woman. She had a child. She didn't care about Ji and I and she had no intention of hiding it. She only cared about her boy. As I got older, it seemed as if our condition got even worse, sometimes there would food in the house but most of the time Jisung and I would go to bed without meals.
I was scared, Jisung started crying one day because his stomach hurt due to hunger. There was nothing in the house. I cried too that night. Next day, I had no option but to take off from school to earn little food for Jisung.
The money my father brought was usually spent on his new family. So, one day I decided it was time for me to drop out from school to feed my brother. What would I do with education if none of us would be alive? So, I made a decision and got several part time jobs. 
One day, I got an opportunity to come to Seoul, the pay was better than Incheon, so I moved here. I lived here for two years before moving back to Incheon, my parents had kicked Jisung out. I had to go back and wait until he completed his school. We moved here again because I thought it would be better for him to look for a course here rather than Incheon."Jeno finished with a sigh. He looked at renjun, who had an unreadable expression on his face. He simply stared at Jeno with void eyes.
Jaemin's hold on his waist would tighten once in a while.

" We are glad you're here." Jaemin said. " Come on, let's eat before it gets cold."

Renjun was quiet after that, he didn't say anything. He hated the fact that Jeno suffered too much.

They ate peacefully, " You guys said, you'd tell me about yourself and I'm waiting..." Jeno mumbled.

Renjun's eyes widened, " I-I..." he began.
