🎨 chapter.09 🎨

Party guests with their alcohol began flooding into the room, desperate to see what the commotion was. It didn't look pretty, Jisung was still crying hysterically on the bed, Jeno, or Mr Lee was stood by the edge of it in just grey sweats that hung dangerously low on his hips with a pair of glasses, his floral and delicately designed tattoos spread out across his chest and on his arms, some even curled up around his neck.

Then there was Yukhei passed out cold on the floor.

Jisung couldn't take all their staring, he was in too much of a state.

He scrambled up off the bed and grabbed his clothes before shoving past everyone and locking himself in the bathroom.

Jeno ran a hand through his hair, dyed the same colour as his step sisters. "Yeeun, party over, get everyone out, now" he ordered, and Yeeun nodded, though she was clearly upset about her big eighteenth being ruined, though she knew it wasn't Jisung's fault, or her brothers. The newly eighteen year old began ushering everyone out, and in under ten minutes the whole mob of humanity had left, leaving behind empty solo cups, streamers and food scraps.

The only ones who remained were Jisung, Jeno, Yeeun and Chenle.

"Where is he?" Chenle asked, rushing up to Jeno with a panicked expression on his face.

Jeno didn't answer but walked up to the door and gently knocked. "Jisung-ah, open the door love, he's gone now he can't hurt you anymore" Jisung's cries seemed to only grow louder at that, and Jeno felt his heart drop at the sound of his soulmate being so hurt.

"Angel, open the door please" Jeno urged once more, ignoring the looks of his sister and student from the petnames, feeling relief when the door opened revealing one of Jisung's watery eyes and equally as watery cheeks. Jeno pursed the door, not hard enough to knock the younger over but strong enough to show that there wasn't a way that Jeno wasn't coming in.

The teacher closed to the door behind him to give them privacy. Jisung was curled up on the toilet seat, only having managed to pull his shirt on. It was crumpled and creased and the buttons weren't done up properly so it hung off his shoulders, giving his soulmate a good look at the bruising Yukhei had caused.

"Angel..." Jeno whispered, crouching down to his height and Jisung looked up from his knees.

Jeno immediately pulled the omega to his chest and squeezed him tight to show that he was safe and that he would protect Jisung with all his being. The omega cried into Jeno's bare chest for what seemed like forever, and only pulled away when it felt like his eyes were so dry they couldn't possibly produce more tears even if they tried.

"How do you feel?" Jeno inquired in a gentle voice, brushing his fingers through the younger's dyed hair.

"Dirty" he mumbled.

That definitely broke Jeno's heart.

"Do you want to take a shower?"

Jisung nodded weakly.

"Okay then" Jeno smiled sadly, pressing a kiss to the younger's temple before leaving the bathroom. The shower turned on moments after and then there was the sound of furious scrubbing eight the lufor.

In the living room, Yeeun and Chenle were sat close by each other. Yeeun caressed Chenle's hand softly as she leant her head on his shoulder. They were comfortable with each other, and it was cute to Jeno. When he walked in though, they both gave him a look as if to say 'explain yourself'.

"I will, let's just wait until Jisung gets out the shower" Jeno said tiredly as he slumped into the armchair. Scrunching his face up in pain when he pulled out a broken shard of a solo cup from beneath his butt.

Yeeun giggled before her face turned solemn and a frown replaced her happy smile. The mood had once again turned sour, and it felt like forever until they all heard the shower turn off. They all waited, but Jisung never came out. So Jeno got up and padded over to the bathroom and rapped on the door a few times.

"Are you okay angel?"

"Yeah I just... I don't have anything clean to change into" Jisung mumbled and Jeno laughed.

"I'll grab you some of mine" and with that, the teacher trotted up the stairs and into his bedroom. He fished out one of his oversized hoodies, a navy blue one with on yellow sleeve and one red sleeve and a pair of black sweatpants and some clean boxers.

He knocked on the door again and passed them through the tiny gap Jisung made when he opened it ajar.

Jeno wandered back into the living room and dropped into the chair. "He's just getting changed" he murmured tiredly and the younger two just nodded.

Jisung came padding out into the living room moments later dressed in his soulmates clothes. The hickeys Yukhei had given him were still there, and so was the obvious harsh swelling on his lips. Jeno reached an arm out, and Jisung plopped onto his lap, practically melting into his arms. Jisung looked like a baby, his wet hair slick against is forehead, dripping slightly onto Jeno's chest.

"You guys are soulmates, aren't you?" Chenle said after a while of silence.

Jeno nodded, but Jisung was fast asleep.

"That explains why he was so off at lunch the other day..." the Chinese muttered.

Yeeun looked surprised. "Oppa, isn't this kind of illegal? I mean, Jisung's barely seventeen and you're an adult" The blonde said worriedly.

"And his biology and chem teacher" Jeno yawned.

Chenle grinned. "That explains so much"

"What do we do? I mean obviously I wouldn't tell, I couldn't do that to Jisungie but..." Yeeun trailed off, knowing what she wanted to say but at the same time unable to form a sentence with it. Chenle brushed his knuckles on her arm, smiling warmly in reassurance.

Jeno looked in thought for a moment. "Just don't go blabbing about it and it should be fine, I guess as long as Jisung and I are subtle about it" he shrugged, and Jisung stirred slightly.

"I think I might take him up to sleep in my bed. Chenle, could you call his mum or something and let her know he's staying over? Just say Yeeun decided to invite a few over for a sleepover" Jeno said, picking Jisung up bridal style as if he weighed nothing. Chenle nodded and slid his phone out his pocket.

"You can stay too if you want, I mean you don't have to but I just thought considering Jisungie is that you'd maybe want to but—" Chenle cut off the girls rambling with a shy peck on her cheek which made her flush red.

"I'll stay over" he smiled.
