I Can Love You Like That | Stray Kids

Chapter 22

Previously:

"Okay, everyone, after dinner, we're going to give the boys their new phones, and then we'll all have that consent talk. Does that sound good?" Chan asked.

A collective 'yes' was heard all around.

Everyone smiled and started prepping the table. Getting ready for the delicious herb chicken and veggie dinner that Minho made with all his love.

--♡--

After dinner was eaten and the kitchen was cleaned up, everyone sat down in the living room on couches or just on the floor. Jeongin had Jisung sitting in front of him on the floor, Jisung's back to his chest, and Felix was sitting by Changbin on the couch with his legs over the alpha's thighs.

With both omegas content and smiling, Chan went to get the bag that contained their new phones. When he came back to the living room, everyone was in conversation and smiling. It was a sight that Chan loved, seeing all his mates being happy together.

"Okay, babies," Chan started, getting everyone's attention. "In this bag, I have a phone for each of you." He reached into the bag and grabbed the two phone boxes, handing them to the omegas.

Jisung and Felix had wide eyes. They both got brand new phones! They looked at each other and smiled, then turned to their boxes to open them.

Once the omegas got their phones out, Minho spoke up. "We already put our phone numbers in each of the phones so you can contact us whenever you need or want to." He smiled.

"Thank you!" Jisung said and got up to give all his mates a hug. Felix did the same. They were so appreciative of their mates. Once all hugs were given, the omegas sat back down, Felix sitting by Hyunjin and Jisung by Seungmin.

"I also went ahead and shared both of your locations with everyone, so if you don't answer a call or text, we can check a special app and see where you are to make sure you're safe." Chan said. He wanted to make sure he knew where his omegas were. Call him crazy but he couldn't live without his babies now that they are here.

With the phone business out of the way, Chan decided they really needed that consent talk.

"Felix, Jisung." He got their attention. "I think now would be a good time to talk about why we didn't help with your heat."

"It's because old man here has a consent kink." Seungmin sassily spoke up and made everyone giggle.

"I'm not old!" Chan retaliated.

"You didn't deny the kink part, though." Hyunjin commented, and everyone laughed again, louder this time.

"Hey! There's nothing wrong with wanting consent before sexual acts." Chan said.

"We know, hyung, we just like teasing you." Changbin said, laughing.

Chan glared at his mates playfully and crossed his arms, sitting on the floor like a pouting child.

Felix spoke up, "If it helps, we really appreciate you for that." Everyone looked at him, laughter dissipating and turning the moment serious.

"Thank you, Felix." Chan said.

Jisung was next to talk, "Although we understand the reasoning and appreciated the gesture, I wish we would've known beforehand because...I honestly felt rejected when Jinnie said you guys weren't going to help us." He lowered his head. Seungmin placed a comforting hand on the omegas shoulder.

Jeongin whined. "We didn't mean to make you feel like that, though."

"We know, but I just wanted you to know how I felt." Jisung said as he looked to the baby alpha and put his hand on top of Jeongin's.
