"Hey, love, where--"

The next words were muffled by Mark as a hand was placed on his mouth. Donghyuck hushed him, putting a finger against his lips with his eyebrows furrowed. He looked around to see where his brother was before he went back looking at the alpha and puts his hand away.

"You can't call me that when hyung's around, remember?" Donghyuck whisper-shouted at Mark.

The alpha hummed, "He won't hear me. He seemed tired though," he said then placed the box, a couple of booklets inside, in his car.

Mark closed the trunk of his car and leaned against it with his arms crossed on his chest. He smirked at the omega who has a pout on his face. The alpha quickly placed a peck which made the omega flustered.

"Mark!" Donghyuck scolded.

"Can't I kiss my boyfriend?"

"You can't in public."

Mark sighed, "Your brother won't see it."

The omega sighed. He moved and jumped to sit on top of the trunk with the help of the alpha. Mark went in between these legs and hugged his waist, not bothered if anyone saw them. Donghyuck cupped his jaw and rubbed his thumbs against the alpha's cheek.

"You know we can't hide our relationship to Taeyong hyung and to everybody forever," Mark said softly.

Donghyuck combed his hair with his fingers, "I know. I'm just trying to get a good timing."

The alpha sighed as he lets his forehead fall against the omega's chest. Donghyuck kissed his head and caressed the alpha's nape.

"I just want to love you freely. You know that, Hyuck."

Donghyuck chuckled, "I promise, I'll be able to say everything to him. For now, we'll have to keep this. Taeyong hyung still have other problems."

Mark smiled as his mind went to a thought, "I was already thinking about our future."

"Really? Can you tell me about it?" the omega asked.

Mark looked up at him, "When you graduate, we'll start travelling around the world. We'll enjoy our lives together while we both works. When we're good and ready, I'll vow and marry you as my mate. Then we'll have our family with two kids. I want to grow old with you, and only you."

Donghyuck smiled, "I'm excited to spend everything with you--"

"Taeyong?! Taeyong, oh god!"

Both of them looked from afar and saw Taeyong down against the grass. Donghyuck's eyes widened and immediately went down to ran towards his brother, with Mark behind. His heart dropped upon seeing his brother like this, again.

"Hyuck, do you got his pills? He's probably at it again," Jungwoo asked.

Donghyuck nodded then ran to get his bag inside Mark's car. He immediately went back with the pills and water. Then suddenly, Jaehyun came with panic evident on his face.

"What happened?!" the alpha asked.

"H-He's just probably tired," Taeil excused.

Jaehyun furrowed his eyebrows, "Just tired?! No fucking way he's just tired!"

The alpha tried carrying to the omega but Donghyuck had to stop him.

"Hyung, he just needs rest. It's not our first time to see him like this--"

"So, you guys won't take this seriously because this happened way back? What's wrong with you?!"

"Hey, Jae. Don't talk to him like that," Mark blurted, pulling Donghyuck to stay behind him.

The alpha scoffed, "Fine. But I want to take him home," he said and started walking towards his car.

"We'll go with you--"

Donghyuck stopped Kun, "Hyung, I'll handle this, okay?"

"Are you out of your mind? Jaehyun's an alpha!" Kun uttered.

"I'll make sure he goes before he worsens. I'll call you guys if things are good," the omega said and pulled his boyfriend to go after Jaehyun who did go ahead of them.

Jaehyun felt himself go all weird just being near the fainted omega. Taeyong was seated, with the seatbelt on, on the passenger seat who is still unconscious. His scent was stronger than it used to be which was making Jaehyun feel all familiar. Like he was in a rut.

He looked back and saw Blue still asleep. He should just make Mark send him home instead. He wanted to make sure Taeyong's alright. Maybe he's just in a fever.

He arrived at the apartment with Mark just right behind. Jaehyun opened the door and had to keep himself composed as the lavender scent was making his mind get all fuzzy. He took the omega out and saw Mark with Donghyuck.

"Get Blue home," Jaehyun told Mark before he immediately walked towards the apartment.

Donghyuck looked at his lover who just sighed.

"I'll come back," Mark said and went to get Blue inside Jaehyun's vehicle. He made the baby sit inside his own and went to get back into the driver's seat.

The omega went with him. He knocked against the window which made the alpha to roll it down. Mark started the car but stayed and waited for Donghyuck to say something. The omega bent down, letting their faces get as close as they can.

"You want me to get you something, love?" Mark asked.

Donghyuck shook his head and has a smile on his face, "Nope, but I want to give you something."

The alpha raised an eyebrow at him, "What is it?"

The omega leaned closer and kissed his boyfriend. Mark was taken aback but kissed back eventually. It was longer than what they did a while ago and a lot passionate. Their lips moved slowly, not wanting to separate but Donghyuck realized Blue was needed home. The omega was the first one to pull away. Both of them panted and stared at each other.

"I'll come back quickly," Mark said.

Donghyuck nodded, "Be careful, okay, love? You don't have to hurry."

"Okay. See you later."

The omega pulled away and watched Mark go. Then he immediately ran into their apartment to check on his brother with an alpha. He mentally cursed at him to forget about them. Donghyuck was surprised to see Jaehyun by the living room.

"Y-You can go now, hyung. I just need to give him...the medicines," the omega said and went to get the pills needed.

Jaehyun cleared his throat and tried to compose himself, his breathing was starting to get ragged as the scent got stronger and sweeter.

"Does he have any illnesses? He hasn't told me anything about whatever his condition is," he uttered, worried.

Donghyuck hummed, "Just...anemia."

"I can't go until I know he's fine, Hyuck," the alpha said.

"I can call you, hyung--"

"Tell me, is he trying to hide something from me?"
