19 | tame me

Taeyong was by gate again, waiting for a specific car to arrive. He did try to dress a bit nicer. He would just always wear a dress shirt and slacks as his uniform but he thought he might've looked a bit too dull. So, he just wore a simple shirt, jeans and his cardigan, along with his sneakers.

He has his lower lip bit and his hands behind him, holding the paper bag that will be given to an alpha. He was looking from left to right, trying to see if the car was arriving any time sooner.

"You think you can hide this until you die?"

Taeyong looked beside him and saw Jungwoo. He rolled his eyes before he looked back.

"What are you talking about?" the omega asked.

The beta shrugged, "Hiding."

"I don't know what you're talking about, Jungwoo," Taeyong said.

"Oh, come on. About you hiding the bond. It's obvious that you guys have a chance. I don't know your logic sometimes, hyung," Jungwoo whispered, "Also, who makes food for another person if they have a lover? A fake lover."

"I know what I'm doing. Thanks for the concern," the omega replied.

Jungwoo turned to face him as he crossed his arms, "But really, whatever you guys are feeling. It's mutual."

"Whatever, Woo. I'm not feeling anything towards him."

Taeyong sighed but furrowed his eyebrows when he saw Jungwoo looking around. He pouted and curious why was the beta acting like he's finding something.

"What are you doing?" the omega asked.

"Finding your reason why you can't just be honest."

Taeyong chuckled but they stopped when a car has pulled up infront of them. Jungwoo knew it was Jaehyun and Blue so he looked over at Taeyong whose eyes brightened and his lips curving into a sweet smile. The beta rolled his eyes.

"I'll be going now. We have a meeting after class," Jungwoo said.

Taeyong nodded before the beta jogged away. The omega waited until Blue opened the door and ran up to hug his leg. The boy ruffled the little prince's head before he looked up to see the man stepping out and saw him wearing the usual suit. But even if Jaehyun wears the same suit over and over again, Taeyong wouldn't loathe about it.

What made him feel weird was the fact that Jaehyun dropped the idea of wearing the perfume again.

Jaehyun tugged his coat before he looked up and smile at Taeyong. He walked up towards him and saw Blue already hugging his papa.

"Hey," the alpha greeted.

The omega nodded, "Hey. Uhm, here. Since you'll be my chauffeur from now on."

Jaehyun chuckled and grabbed the paper bag, "A chauffeur. Really?"

The omega nodded and smiled sweetly, "You did insist. As something in return, I'll prepare you some food."

"Thanks. Wait for me then," the alpha said.

Taeyong hummed, "I kinda have a meeting with the other teachers this afternoon. So, I guess I'll have to pass."

"I'll wait for you instead."

The omega raised his eyebrows and immediately got flustered by how his mind thought about the words of the alpha. Taeyong immediately shook his head to snap himself out and as a response as well.

"Just get Blue home. I can handle myself," Taeyong said.

"I'll bring Blue home then I'll come back to pick you up," the alpha uttered.

The omega frowned, "But you have work. I don't want to stop you whatever you're doing."

"I won't say no, Taeyong."

Taeyong chuckled, "Okay, you're that stubborn. I can't tame you, can't I?"

Jaehyun hummed, "You can if you want."

The omega widened his eyes and blushed lightly. The alpha reminded himself about their situation which made him to clear his throat.

"I should...go. I'll come back later," Jaehyun said in a subtle flustered way.

Taeyong nodded and grabbed Blue's tiny hand, "Okay. We'll see you later then," then he looked down at his son, "Say bye to daddy."

Blue cutely waved at his father, "Bye, daddy! I'll stay here with papa!"

Jaehyun waved back, "Be good, okay?"

The little prince before his father drove away, leaving him to his papa.

"I'll let Hendery bring you the papers later. I need your damn signature, alright?" Johnny said while they were in a cafe nearby, having their lunch.

"Hey, don't get mad. I'm always in my office, you're the one who is always stalling," Mark teased.

The alpha frowned and rolled his eyes, "I just always check on Ten and Riv. You're just salty because you're the only one who doesn't have a kid."

"Hey, I will. Someday," Mark uttered.

"You think Taeyong will let you even touch his brother? I don't think so."

Jaehyun suddenly buts in while having his coffee and just finished eating. The other two alphas looked at him then their lips slowly curved into a smirk. Jaehyun raised an eyebrow at them as he folded the paper bag that was already empty.

"Why are you guys looking at me like that?"

"So, you guys are that close now."

"First name basis already?"

"Oh, now, it's me?" Jaehyun furrowed his eyebrows at them, "Drop it."

"What? It's fine talking about omegas sometimes," Johnny said.

"But for all I know, Taeyong hyung's mated," Mark added.

Johnny widened his eyes at him, "Wait? What? I never heard that. Jae, what the fuck?"

"What?! What did I do?! Why am I even on the hotseat now? It was Mark a while ago," the alpha uttered.

"You can't flirt with someone mated," Johnny said, concluding that Jaehyun's been flirting with the omega that Jaehyun's been talking about for a few days now.

Jaehyun groaned, "Am not. I'm just trying to be friends with him. He is Blue's father afterall."

"Wait, wait. So, his mate lets you...?" Mark asked as he put his two fingers up that were stick together, interpreting that Jaehyun and Taeyong were allowed to be together.

The alpha hummed, "He told me that his mate isn't that strict. So, we're allowed but not like...we'll act like married parents. I just don't want Blue to think that we're not. He does think that every kid has their parents wedded. So, I thought to befriend Taeyong."

"You're telling us that there's nothing between the two of you?"

Jaehyun nodded, "I don't have any plans."

"I'm personally strict to Ten because...you know. Mark's strict, even though Donghyuck isn't his mate yet--"

"Hey."

"I haven't really met an alpha who isn't strict with an omega. That doesn't make any sense. But I'm not judging...Do I like I am?" Johnny uttered, leaning back against the backrest of the chair.

Jaehyun shrugged, "I'm not strict."

"Shut up. You don't have an omega to begin with, Jung. Also, you'll eat your words," Johnny buts in, believing that every alpha are very territorial. He already proved it.

Jaehyun sighed, "I don't know what your point is but I need to go. I have some things else to do."

The alpha stood and tugged on his coat before he walked towards to door to walk out of the cafe. Johnny and Mark were left there looking at the alpha that looked confused and annoyed. Johnny sighed before he looked at Mark.

"I just think something's fishy, alright? But if this lavender chick is mated, then Jae's going to be single for the rest of his life," Johnny joked, but not the first part.

Mark chuckled, "Let him be. He's grown ass man, hyung."
