ALPHA UNIVERSE #4: GORGEOUS

CHAPTER 34

The morning came when Renjun stirred awake with a deep furrow on his brows.

His head is literally hurting like hell, and the coolness of the air drapes on his skin like ice.

Clutching his head, he tried his very best to sit up, and with his tired eyes, he peeked through.

When the rush of energy came through, that's when he noticed the deep smell of a stronger scent and the unfamiliar feeling of the room, and even if the lights and blinds were all off, he knew that this was not his room.

With panic resurging on his system, he hopped off the bed, but then a striking pain in his head hit once again, making him yell in pain and curl on the floor.

As if his pain were heard, the door opened, allowing a bright light to enter the dark room.

"If you feel better, take a shower. I'll lend you my clothes and come down."

"W-wait– Jeno?"

"Mhm, get up; we need to talk."

And just like that, the alpha closed the door, and the dominant was left in the dark once again.

Renjun didn't overdo his blank brain until he came down the stairs with the bassist's clothes.

He was now fully awake, and his senses were a little bit heightened because of the unfamiliar place.

It was Jeno's for sure, as he could depict his scent over the others that could be his family's.

Rounding to where he assumed was the kitchen, he thought he would be greeted by the mother, but he was shocked when it was Jaemin.

His hair is still a messy bush, and his eyes are threatening to close, but he still managed to operate the kitchen with deep familiarity.

He only stopped staring when two sets of footsteps inched closer to his hearing.

"We had a sleepover at Jeno's", Haechan sleepily mumbled while dragging his feet and settling on one of the chairs at the dining table.

"Your parents?"

"Work", Jeno simply answered and went over to Jaemin, placing a kiss on his temple

"You guys are a couple!", Renjun exclaimed.

"Mates", Jaemin rolled his eyes. "Let's eat first before getting through the main talk."

"Yangyang?"

"He'll wake up at noon", Haechan answered, like it was a normal thing.

They finished breakfast close to 9 a.m., and due to their laziness, they decided to wash the plates after lunch.

By now, the group is in the spacious living room: Jaemin snuggling close to Jeno's side, Haechan taking another whole sofa, and Renjun settling on the couch in front of them.

Not that he wants to sit alone, but because Jaemin pushed him there, and now he feels like he is in a hot seat.
