Claim your fate

chapter 11

Hyunjin's patience (as well as his willpower) was wearing thin as time went on. Jisung was growing bigger every day, emitting a protectiveness from Minho, and Felix was increasing his baby talk. Hyunjin couldn't even start a conversation with his omega lest it be turned around. It was frustrating, so he ceased all conversation with Felix, hoping he would catch on.

He didn't.

"If," Felix announced to Jisung one evening. "Hyunjin and I have a boy, we're going to name him Yongjin" He had a proud look on his face.

"And if it's a girl?" Jisung asked, setting his plate on his round belly. He liked using it as a table.

Felix frowned. "I don't think it will be a girl. Have you not seen Hyunjin?" He gestured to the alpha, who was rounding the house, sweaty and shirtless. He had just gone running, and Felix was salivating. His hair was wet with sweat and pushed back into a bun, and his torso was shiny, and his back tattoo was on proud display.

"And?" Jisung rolled his eyes.

"And, Jisung," Felix rolled his eyes right back at his friend. "That man has nothing but male sperm, I'm sure of it."

"Yes, but you have omega eggs," Jisung reminded him. "What if your children are small, short, little omegas?"

Felix climbed up onto the couch and crossed his arms. "I am not short!" he cried. Behind him, he heard the house door open and close, signaling Hyunjin was inside. "If anything, everyone else is freakishly tall, expect you"

Jisung laughed and removed the plate from his stomach, setting it on the coffee table. "Whatever you say."

Felix made a face. "Hyunjin, tell Jisung that—" He turned to talk to his alpha, but he was met with an empty room. A few seconds later, he heard the shower start. "Oh. Well. If he was still in here, he would tell you that he suffered from a genetic malfunction in utero which in return made his limbs grow to the size of tree limbs."

Jisung cackled and held his stomach. He was cut short by a gasp and he stood quickly.

"What?" Felix asked, staring at his friend. "What happened?"

Jisung stared at his stomach in shock. "Yeah, but—" He reached for Felix. "Come here." He placed Felix's palms on the side of his stomach and waited. Soon, Felix felt a small thump against his hand.

"Oh my gosh, Jisung!" he breathed. He crouched down and stared at the spot his hand was occupying. "She kicked! She's kicking!"

Above him, Jisung was grinning like crazy, thinking about telling Minho the great news. Felix was happy for Jisung, he really was, but feeling Jisung's baby kick made it more real that he wasn't going to ever experience it.

Hyunjin was going crazy. He was pretty sure that his blood pressure was through the roof and his hair was graying. And it was all because of Felix and this damn baby talk. He understood at first, because he was taking something away from Felix, but he had long since thought that Felix would be snapping out of it. He still wasn't picking up on the fact that Hyunjin now avoided him completely, and Hyunjin was at the end of his rope.

Minho had noticed two hours after Hyunjin first began dodging Felix, and Jisung picked up on it four days later, but here they were, two weeks later, and Felix was still blissfully unaware. The final straw for Hyunjin came a week later, when his cousin Yeji and her wife Ryunjin needed to go to America and couldn't take their nine-month-old daughter, Minnie.
