25 | paper dance

The activities started and every team was doing their own strategies. Taeyong and Jaehyun just seated there with Blue on the omega's lap. Jaehyun was urged to say something when Ten, who was in the same team as them, nudged his arm to speak up. He knew the alpha's really smart when it comes to these type of games but Jaehyun chose to stay quiet.

Taeyong heard it and thought Jaehyun might be bored. He suddenly got guilty that he blamed himself for pushing the alpha into this.

"Are you good? You want to skip?" Taeyong whispered to Jaehyun who sat beside him.

Jaehyun hummed with an eyebrow raised, "Yeah, I'm good. Why? Anything wrong?"

"That's my question. Anything wrong? Are you bored? I can excuse us--"

"No, I'm not. I'm just...warming up," the alpha excused.

"I know this should've been your rest day," Taeyong worringly said.

Jaehyun sighed and pulled out a smile.

"Four hours won't hurt, Taeyong. Also, I want to spend some time with the both of you."

That sounded like what a busy husband would say, and Taeyong could only imagine.

Taeyong just nodded as a response. They just listened to the one who was speaking. Every family did have a game to participate in, including Jaehyun and Taeyong. They're okay with it but Taeyong's a bit hesistant.

The game they're going to participate in is named paper dance. It's not that hard. The two of them just have to be inside the paper which it gets smaller by folding.

Let's just say that Taeyong watch too much romance movies. He's nervous about the fact that they'll get too close for each other. His heart will surely beat too fast that Jaehyun might hear and his face might look like a tomato. Ten and Johnny are even in the same team as them.

"You guys are up," Johnny said to Taeyong and Jaehyun. He has River seated on his shoulders that will be doing the mini sack race with Blue later.

Ten crouched and scooped Blue to bring him up, "Win this, guys. Let's keep the lead!"

Taeyong sighed with a pout, "I don't like pressure."

"Oh, I'm not. Don't worry, Taeyongie."

The omega groaned before he went to follow the alpha. They stood inside the game area with Kun explaining the rules of the game. Taeyong stood infront of Jaehyun, trying to keep head into the game. He pushed everything away and kept his cool. He didn't want to get flustered.

"Nervous?"

Taeyong got startled when Jaehyun suddenly whispered into his ear. He looked back before he looked away, realizing that their faces were too close for his liking. The omega cleared his throat and tried calming himself down.

"N-Not so much," the omega replied.

Jaehyun chuckled, "You look tensed though. Don't worry, we'll win this."

Taeyong nudged the man's toned stomach, "You're too confident."

"Because I have something to be confident about."

The omega looked at him after Kun explained everything about the game. They took their places while the committee gives out a newspaper per pair.

"Where did the confidence come from?" Taeyong asked.

Jaehyun chuckled, "Just do as I say."

The game started with the newspaper laid on the ground and the music playing. Taeyong just did subtle dance moves, not wanting to embarrass himself infront of everyone. Jaehyun found him cute, not knowing that he was already staring at the omega.

When the music suddenly stopped, every pair stepped into the newspaper, same with Jaehyun and Taeyong. It was still too easy for them so they folded it in half before the music played again. Jaehyun thought they're too old for this but who is he to complain? He literally agreed to be here so he doesn't have any reasons to complain. Also, he doesn't care if it's about Blue...and Taeyong.

The game continued until the newspaper was small enough for the two of them. Taeyong did get a bit nervous. He doesn't want to get flustered in the middle of the game. He also doesn't want to lose.

"I'll carry you," Jaehyun said, enough for Taeyong to hear his plan.

Taeyong widened his eyes and shook his head, "N-No way!"

"Taeyong--"

"Jaehyun."

The alpha felt the instinct to stop arguing with the omega and follow him instead. Jaehyun sighed then thought another plan to do.

"Fine! Step on my feet then," the alpha said.

"What?!"

Then they stopped when the music suddenly stopped. Jaehyun stood inside the folded newspaper and pulled Taeyong who stood on his feet. His hands were on the omega's waist, making him stay close to him. The omega's hands held onto the alpha's shoulders, gulping at how he could feel the muscles under the shirt. Their scents lingered in each other's noses and either of them immediately got addicted.

After the committee checked if they passed, Taeyong pulled away and looked down at Jaehyun's sneakers while a pair was out of the game.

"I'm sorry, I can clean it after," Taeyong said.

Jaehyun chuckled, "Don't mind it."

The music started again after the paper was folded into a smaller size. Taeyong felt the sense of anxiousness. He rubbed the bitemark on his neck and knew Jaehyun about it.

"Hey, trust me."

Taeyong looked at the alpha who spoke. He wasn't used to lean on others. People lean on him instead. He was that selfless. Hearing that from Jaehyun made him feel so much warmth from him. He doesn't know why but he chose to lean to Jaehyun this time.

He suddenly snapped out of his thoughts when the music stopped. Jaehyun stood into the paper and Taeyong stood infront then squealed when the alpha carried him like they were newlyweds. The omega blushed so hard that he needed to cover up his face.

Jaehyun laughed, "I told you to trust me."

"I wasn't ready!" Taeyong clicked his tongue at him. He suddenly wrapped his arms around the alpha's neck when Jaehyun adjusted him in his arms.

"Have been eating? You're light," the alpha uttered.

"I have, Mr. Jung."

The alpha chuckled which made the omega huff and pout.

"I'm not joking, Jaehyun."

Jaehyun lets their eyes stay at each other for a second before he spoke again, "After this, if we win, come with us."

Taeyong raised an eyebrow at him, "Why? Planning to celebrate already?"

"Kinda. So, can you? We can stay at the new house," the alpha asked.

The omega hummed playfully, acting like he's thinking hard. He taps his finger against chin and pouts his lower lip, "I don't know...--"

"I'll cook for you."
