chenle jumped up and down on the bed excitedly, wanting so desperately to break the news to his boyfriend, who was deep asleep after a long day of classes and tests. "wake up already, dumbass!" he cried out, much to jisung's dismay.

chenle's excitement quadrupled as he heard jisung's frustrated groans as he squirmed around on the bed, wanting to have another minute of sleep. jisung finally opened his eyes, frowning tiredly at him at the brink of sleep. "what is it, baby...? can't you see, i'm tired..."

"i have some really good news though..." chenle trailed off as his lips formed a pout, snuggling next to the younger as he kept throwing an indirect tantrum. clearly seeing that jisung would not budge from his sleep, chenle whispered to his ear, spilling the news. "i'm pregnant..."

that was more than enough to jolt jisung out of his last remnants of sleep as he looked at chenle like if he committed a murder. "say what now?!" he screamed, unsure on whether he heard chenle correctly.

chenle, on the other hand, merely giggled at the younger's antics. he pulled himself up and straddled him, his lips curling into a suggestive yet wholesome smirk. "you heard that correctly, ji. i'm pregnant."

no words fell from jisung's lips as he let that sink in, which was not a good sign to chenle. jisung looked as if he was lost in thought, making chenle believe that this might be a thunderclap to him.

"don't you...want this...?" chenle's lips wobbled as he stammered his question, wondering if this was bad news to jisung. "i-it's fine if you don't want to...i was just-"

jisung cut him off as he swiftly pulled him in for a kiss, startling the older in the process. the moment was slow and passionate like the times when they made love during the rainy days, gentle yet full of emotion.

tears glistened his eyes as he held chenle close, not ever wanting to let go of him or their child. he broke the kiss as he beamed at chenle wholesomely, wiping his tears away.

"when did i ever say that, hmm...? this is probably the best thing that ever happened to me..."

"lele, i already told you, i'm more than fine with being a father...

...and we'll be taking care of our little baby together."

"chenle...? oh lord, you're crying in your sleep!"

a voice jolted chenle out of his nap as he opened his eyes to a very concerned jisung, holding and caressing his hand as he was worried sick for the younger.

unlike what chenle thought, he was not in his college dorms anymore, happily jumping up and down like the excited 5 year old he is, and worst of all, his boyfriend was not there to take the news and neither did his comforting voice reassuring him that he will be there for him, always.

a desperate longing for jisung wracked his frame as tears glistened his eyes once again, about to break down for the second time. seeing his distress, the older knew what was happening to him, and decided to let him cry it all out.

"still thinking about him...isn't it?" he queried casually, not even expecting a reply from him.

stifling his urge to cry, chenle nodded vigorously as he calmed himself down, finally gaining the strength to look up to the older's face. "i-it's nothing...leave it..." he tried to wave it off as if it was nothing to him.

even though jisung was concerned, he decided to heed his words as a pang of déjà vu hit him, of wookjin denying his emotional outbursts at times when he was carrying bae. "alright...just tell me if you need anything, okay? bae will be here, i need to run some errands."

"a-alright, hyung..." chenle spoke out as he watched jisung disappear out the door, leaving him all alone. he sighed as he cursed at himself for having such a hyper-realistic dream that won't ever happen afterward anyways.

almost immediately, jisung barged into the room, carrying his ringing phone with him. he approached him and handed over his phone, sighing in the process. "it's jaemin," he supplied.

chenle took the phone and queried not-so-excitedly, annoyed at his sudden intervention. "what do you want, nana?"

"just a question, lele, should i...tell about, you know, the fact that you're pregnant...to sungie? he should know about it...right?"

almost immediately, chenle jolted himself off his bed as he dolphin screamed, his heart beating fast like if he just ran a marathon. "no...! d-don't...ever tell this to him...p-please..." his voice faltered after the initial burst of emotions, not wanting to bring this topic up ever again.

"oh...alright then...geez, you didn't have to scream like that, my ears hurt..."

"i'll seriously strangle you to death if you ever say a word about this to him," chenle threatened him as he frowned in seething frustration, which was almost terrifying to jisung as he mentally facepalmed at his cousin's antics.

"don't pull a renjun on me, lele, or else i will tell him..."

"bitch, i swear, if you-" chenle was cut off as jisung grabbed his phone before he could chew jaemin out, his expression stoic yet distressed. "i'll take care of him," he deadpanned as he turned his attention to his cousin on the phone. "jaem, don't. it's his wish, and it's better if you respect it. did i make myself clear?"

"hyung, i was clearly teasing him. don't worry, i won't tell anyone."

"alright..." jisung beamed in relief as he hung up the phone, turning to chenle to reassure him that he won't do anything stupid. "don't worry, i already told him to shut up."

"t-thanks..." chenle stammered out, more than relieved that the love of his life would not find this secret that would have caused him a world of trouble. he flopped to his bed, his frame tired and unable to move any longer.

🍂

meanwhile, jaemin was frowning at what his cousin instructed him to do, his expression frustrated yet concerned, for no one other than jisung.

even if his cousin did not want jaemin to tell this to jisung, he wanted to. it felt as if it was his responsibility to tell him everything that was happening to chenle, no matter if it is good or bad, and judging from chenle's panicked tone, it was clearly a bad news.

"you're...not going to...tell him...right...?" jeno, who was hearing this whole conversation unfold, had trouble addressing the elephant in the room, although it had to be done. "it's going to even worse for him, nana, don't..."

sighing, jaemin turned to his boyfriend, his frown softening in intensity.

"nono, i have to. it's jisung's child we are talking about, we can't just let this be a secret forever, can we?"
