"Come in," Jaemin said politely yet his voice is still intimidating, almost cold even.

Opening the door wider to his apartment, he lets the two guests enter silently, avoiding eye contact with him and even each other as they just look around.

They hesitate to walk over to the couches until Jaemin speaks up again, "have a seat. Please." Brief and sure, watching their every move.

The two boys nodded and did as told, sitting down on the first couch and making sure there's a gap between them.

Seeing that, Jaemin sighs quietly and walks over to his bedroom door, knocking on the hard wood as the missing person opens it from the other side.

"Are they here?" The purebred omega asks, looking over Jaemin's shoulder to see a glimpse of the two guests sitting there awkwardly.

He purses his lips while nodding, not needing Jaemin to answer his question anymore as it was already obvious enough.

Jaemin takes him by the hand and squeezes it gently, guiding him to the living to join the guests.

Once they've sat down on the other couch across from the two boys, Jeno tries to make himself comfortable with their presence by snuggling closer to his vampire boyfriend.

"I'm sure we all know what we're here for." Jaemin was the first one to speak up, "I don't need to give you guys a cue on when to talk. Because I'm just giving you a chance."

He was strict and slightly cold, wrapping an arm around Jeno's shoulders as he stares down at the two boys across from him.

It's a little weird since it's usually Renjun who's the mature one. But not in this case, it's Jaemin now.

This situation involves a side of them they've never seen before from each other. A side that they never want to bring out ever again.

Jaemin's in charge now, he's making sure whatever this is, what happened between them all, will be settled and they'll learn from it.

The tanned male looks down, both due to being ashamed and nervous.

And Jaemin's aura intimidates him, despite being a vampire, he can still scare and beat poor little regular alpha Haechan.

It's not Jaemin's kind, it's just himself.

They all sat there in silence, too ashamed to speak up until Haechan decides to break the ice first.

"I'm sorry," he mumbles. "It was really off and stupid of me– I didn't even know what I was thinking." He said, cussing to himself.

Still looking down, he sighs as he fidgets with his fingers on his lap. "I was going through my rut... And I didn't have full control of myself, I know it's not an excuse of my actions though."

"What I did was really stupid, and I'm so ashamed of myself–"

"Why did you leave your house then?" Jaemin cuts him off, earning everyone's attention as Jeno weakly nudges him. "If you were going through it. Why?"

"I didn't realize and pay attention to the dates, so I left to head over to Renjun's place and... I guess that's where it got worse."

"I was trying to give out signs too while my inner alpha was being too convincing." He mumbles, not noticing Renjun widening his eyes.

"Haechan being clingy and moody more than usual... And his scent– how did I not notice it before?!" The witch boy was thinking to himself in frustration.

Jaemin silently read his mind but chose to not say anything about it.

"Then, because Renjun was busy and kicked me out– which I don't blame him for, I just started craving and wanting something." The regular alpha said.

Jeno hums, nodding in understanding. Haechan has told him before on how he acts when he's around his rut. But poor little purebred omega Jeno didn't remember it sooner.

Besides, he also understands how convincing their inner wolf can be when it comes to ruts and heats. Just looking for their mates.

"I went to the bakery because I thought my suppressants can help and last longer. Then didn't realize it wore off later that day until Jaemin pushed me."

"And also because Jeno's a purebred, not to mention close to you, so you felt very needy and sure that he's the solution. Especially with his strong pheromones." Jaemin adds on for him.

Haechan just nods silently, agreeing with everything Jaemin has said. "I'm not asking for forgiveness... I'm just really sorry I did that."

Jaemin hums before turning to Renjun who bites his inner cheek, pondering in thought for a moment before saying. "I don't have any excuses either..."

"I let my emotions get the best of me, and that was really disappointing, especially on my part– the guy who's usually the mature one ironically was the immature one today." He sarcastically smiles.

"I should've listened more and acted calm, instead of yelling and immediately accusing Jeno who's... Never at fault here." He frowns.

Jeno sends him a small sad smile as he continues, "I shouldn't have done and said all those things. I was really confused and angry."

"And stressed." Haechan mutters beside him.

He sighs, nodding a little hearing that. His boyfriend– he doesn't even know if he can still call him that– is not wrong.

"I was so focused and determined with my exams, that I let it get in the way with us as friends. I realized how much I pushed you guys away a lot whenever this comes around."

Taking a deep breath, he licks his dry lips. "That's all.... I'm really sorry."

Jaemin frowns, glancing at him and Haechan back and forth.

Jeno beside him pouts too, looking up from Jaemin's chest before inching closer and pushing himself up a little bit to whisper something in the older boy's ear.

Nodding with a tiny smile on his face, Jaemin clears his throat and says, "we accept your apology and we understand. However, just remember we won't immediately go back to normal."

He hints about Jeno's situation, the purebred omega still a little tensed and traumatized. Haechan mouths a "sorry" to him and earns a small smile.

"It'll take some time, but that's better than nothing right?" He said to lighten things up. Everyone nods in agreement.

Chuckling, he stands up and gently pulls Jeno along with him, the purebred omega linking their arms as Jaemin announces;

"Now, Jeno and I have to go somewhere, he's been wanting to buy a new toy bone." The two boys left sitting on the couch furrowed their eyebrows in confusion.

Noticing, the couple snickers as the vampire boy smiles at them. "We'll be back in a moment, we'll leave you guys here, yeah?"

Before the two boys could stop them– Renjun hasn't even pulled out his magic wand yet, Jaemin turns to them after they've stepped foot outside the apartment.

"Don't make a mess, especially on the couch, guys. We'll be quick, have fun!"

"NA JAEMIN!"

"LEE JENO!"
