The Hope, the Talk and the Eavesdropper

"Wake up boys, breakfast is ready in ten minutes !"

Some whined while others hid under their blankets complaining it was too early.

Chan was actually already awake after taking his pills like usual. He didn't manage to fall back asleep, so instead he was lying on his stomach, either playing on his phone or watching YouTube videos to pass the time.

Being so focused on his video with his earphones, he could only flinch out of his mind when someone slapped his ass pretty hard. He looked at his right to find Minho blinking, already sitting.

They stared at each other, both confused.

"Uh, sorry I- I thought it was JIsung's ass."

Chan looked on his right where Jisung was asleep, hugging him like a koala. It had been difficult for him to free himself with the younger clutching at him like his life depended on it.

"That's fine," He replied with a smile and while having an Alpha slapping his ass used to make him feel uncomfortable and uneasy, here, he knew Minho was just doing it out of... reflex.

The Alpha- and not only him, everyone had the tendency of slapping butts left and right.

Well, everyone but him.

He kind of got it, since he was new in the pack and they didn't want to pass a boundary. They were just trying to respect him even if Chan was starting to want to be part of the good ol' slapping butts.

"I don't mind it."

Minho hummed, then stared unapologetically at his ass, "Nice ass by the way."

Chan flushed and snorted, slapping his shoulder, breaking Minho's facade into a pleased smile.

He stood up with a loud groan and a big stretch, "Good to know slapping your ass isn't going to make things awkward."

"Slapping who's ass ?" Felix asked with closed eyes as he lifted his head.

"Mine," Chan replied with a laugh, completely taking off his earphones and turning off the screen of his phone. "Let's get ready, puppies."

A hand slapped on his butt before he could sit. He huffed with a shake of his head at Jisung blinking innocently at him.

Chan retorted with a slap on Jisung's ass, "Up puppy."

"Fine," He huffed sadly, standing up just to drape over Chan, "help me hyungie."

Chan snorted, "Sure, I'll just help you up to the bathroom, I wanted to help Ichika-san."

"Knowing her, she's going to refuse, and beside the food's almost ready," Seungmin piped in, ruffling his own messy hair after managing to sit up.

But he couldn't get up with Hyunjin hugging his waist with his long limbs.

Chan pouted, not having heard her when she told them, "Oh," Jisung pressed his chin on his shoulders, hugging his waist happily.

"Let's go hyung !"

"Alright alright," he glanced back at those still sleeping, "I'll come back to wake you up if you don't pups !"

He was satisfied when he earned whines and grunts, letting himself be dragged by Jisung upstairs.

"Eat boys, you have to finish your whole plate," Ichika told them with her Omega's gentle smile, ruffling Seungmin's and Jeongin's hair.
