Be There For You

17.

Arriving at the small kindergarten that was tucked behind the large building, Jaehyun stopped the car for (M/N) whom got the signal and got out.

Walking towards the gate, he can already feel the other parents stares on him like he is an alien. He knew he is sticking out like a sore thumb and he had actually gotten over the fact that he is going to be judged, well until now at least. The thoughts ealier wasn't helping and he was getting nervous as seconds passed by, biting his bottom lip and fiddling with his sleeves while shifting his leg from one to the other.

Standing away from the other parents, he waited for what seemed like hours when his son finally showed up.

He smiled at him but it immediately switched into a worried one when he noticed a bruise on the boy's cheek. Jun being a stubborn yet strong boy, pretended like it was nothing as he ran to hug his mother's leg but (M/N) knew something was up.

"Tell mommy what happened Jun.": he crouched down to the boy's level and gently ran his thumb along the purple mark.

"You could have taught him better not to be a barbarian. What bad parenting skills.": a few women scoffed at him.

"A boy said that I have no dada because mommy cheated. I called him a dummy and he hit me but it's okay. Nobody is can bully mommy when I'm here.": Jun said with confidence.

"They are just sluts for the community, nothing but breeding machines for people to use then throw like trash. That brat's probably an accident.": a man said, making (M/N) fume up as he stood up to glare at the taller.

"I can pretend that I didn't heard what you said about me but this has nothing to do with my son so please apologize.": he said sternly.

"He's just a kid. What can he understand anyways. It's not like he wouldn't find out what you are when he grows up. You are nothing omega, know your place.": the man said.

"Nothing but breeding machines for people to use then throw like trash" With those few harsh words, (M/N)'s mouth was sealed tight. He knew that being an omega meant being poweless and not having the will to speak back but what can he do. With his head hung low, he bit his lip and clenched his fist until his nuckles turned white, hoping and praying for someone to help him out.

"May I ask what's the problem here?": he heard a deep voice that sounded so safe and secure to him.

Raising his head, he was met by Jaehyun's broad back shielding him away from them, his hand was being held in his large and warm hand.

"Just teaching this wretched creature to know its place. Mind your own business will ya? ": he said.

"I will have you know that I won't tolerate such employees in the company Mr. Kim so I suggest that you apologise if you want to keep the job.": Jaehyun said sternly.

"Y-yes sir. I apologize for the words that I have said and please don't put it to heart.":the man immediately bowed and said politely, making (M/N) confused at the sudden change of attitude.

"Ehe what brings you here Mr. Jung?": he asked, trying to get on his good side.

"I'm here to pick up my son that you so confidently said is fatherless, so if you don't mind, please get out of my sight.": the said man immediately moved aside, letting the alpha walk through, his hand still holding tight around the omega until they reached the car.

     Putting Jun into the back seat, Jaehyun then closed the door and aprubtly engulfed the boy in a tight embrace that made him jump a little at the sudden action.

"Are you alright? Please don't listen to what they said, you are nothing like that okay?": he said while rubbing the back of the boy's head.

"I mean they aren't wrong.": (M/N) quietly murmured under his breath but the older had heard it.
