Come Back To Me • Jaeil

It'll Be Tough

"So wait... say it again." Taeil had called Yuta, who in turn brought along Sicheng to help. Taeil spilled the tea, but shockingly, both had a hard time believing how common this was becoming. It was odd for this to be happening to him too.

"My Alpha is a teenager. He told me his name was Jaehyun and he calls me 'Mr. Taeil'... Fucking 'Mr. Taeil'! As if I don't feel like a damn pervert already." Sicheng bit his lip. He knew how it felt to be so close yet so far. Neither had told this to Taeil, but that's how Yuta and Sicheng met; Sicheng was a minor while Yuta was an adult.

Yuta always found it hard to touch and console his Omega, especially during his heats. The younger had a tendency to call and cry over the phone. He felt useless, not to mention, Sicheng always had people around due to being the youngest in his family. They had a hard time letting go, but a lot of their troubles were due to age. The good news was that Sicheng was always protected when Yuta went into his ruts.

"Hyung, it's gonna be okay." Sicheng spoke up and smiled. "It might not be fixed right away, but in time, you two will be together."

"You sure?"

"Yeah." Yuta looked at Sicheng before continuing. "We never told you, but that's how we were. Having that gap between you can make things rough when the phases come along. Don't worry too much. At least try to make nice with him. It might be tough, but try."

"But... I'm not sure I can. Just being near him almost did a number on me. What should I do?" Sicheng patted Taeil's shoulder.

"Take a deep breath. Think about something minor and frivolous if you have to. It'll take some getting used to, but you'll warm up to his scent to where it won't affect you as much or as quick. When you two do meet, be nice and don't make it obvious. You are fated, he'll come to you when it's time." He paused for a moment and then shrugged. "If that fails, either avoid him or take suppressants. They say a lot of them can hurt you over time, so don't over do it."

That's all Sicheng could say. It was essentially what he did with Yuta.

~°•¤°☆

Taeil tried to do what Sicheng suggested, but now that he noticed the boy the first time, he would see him everywhere. Not to mention, he would see that latter's mother extremely often too, so much so that they really hit it off. They would often meet up in the lobby or the common area and chat for a while.

It's only been a month since he first met the family. Almost every day since, he has seen the boy one way or another. Jaehyun was around so much, Yuta and Sicheng were able to get a good look at him.

They stood on Taeil's balcony, which overlooked the common area in the middle of the apartments. The three of them were talking peacefully until Taeil noticed Jaehyun's presence.

"Guys. White button up, metallica shirt." Taeil pointed at the Alpha in question.

"Him?" Jaehyun was hanging out with a couple of kids from his class right out front.

"Yeah. Him. How am I suppose to avoid him when he hangs around like that?" Sicheng snickered. He just thought it was so funny to hear Taeil whine like that. "He's lucky I'm on suppressants or else I'd throw a brick at him for being outside." Yuta coughed at the threat.

"Lets go back in before you rethink and actually do it." Yuta grabbed a hold of Taeil and dragged him towards the door, earning a groan every time Taeil's body was moved.

"Ugh fine. Now you both got to see him. He seems like a cool kid, but he's just that, a kid." Taeil opened the balcony door and held it open for his friends to go in. The door shut behind him with an audible click.

"It'll be tough, but you can do it. I did it."

"But Yuta, this is a little different. You're the Alpha. All you had to do was protect Sicheng until he got older. We, Omegas, are the ones suffering from all sorts of crazy burning sensations when our soulmates are around. I mean, sure, you get your bi-annual ruts, but Alphas are physically and emotionally better at handling their problems than Omegas are. We get sex stupid, okay? About 5 to 6 times a year. I can't get sex stupid when my Alpha's a goddamn teenager. Do you know how bad that looks?"

As Taeil complained, they all took a seat on the sofa. Sicheng began smiling at the last few words that Taeil spoke.

"Yeah, Hyung is right. Back then the two of us didn't have to worry about doing something illegal. We were never alone and you were amazing at resisting your urges. All I did was hide in my parents basement. It'll be different for Taeil hyung. Getting hot from a kid is bad, like borderline creepy... and it's not like he can hide underground. There is no underground here for him. His only saving grace is that Jaehyun doesn't know his apartment number."

Yuta shrugged. He knew that the two were right, but he also knew that whether he liked it or not, Jaehyun needed to learn about his soulmate at some point.

"Okay. You can hide from him and maybe ignore him, but sooner or later, he's gonna need to know about you. You can't make him wait too long. I say at least make nice with him so that he knows who you are before he knows who you are."

The first part was too short in my opinion, so I added what would've been the next chapter. Oh and his outfit is based on the one in the pic up top~

I'm constantly trying to make nice with people, most of which is me trying against my will~ I don't like people but people like me lol
