jaemin opened his eyes gradually and discovered himself in the bedroom. the room was dark, and the only light source was the moonlight coming through the window. he realised he was shirtless, became frightened, and jerked a little, alerting jeno that the younger one had awakened.

"you woke up?" the male asked touching jaemin's chin.

"yeah... did i sleep too much?..", he blinked his eyes as he was bewildered.

jeno shook his head as a no, "you woke up too early, it's only three".

when the pinkette discovered that he wasn't covered with anything, he covered his body with the sheet. he flushed adorably realizing that his husband was watching him the entire time.

jeno massaged the boy's shoulder and said, "you don't need to be concerned; i was only seeing to your wounds."

jaemin nodded before attempting to get out of bed to grab the glass of water that was sitting next to him on the table.

"let me help you jaemin ah.. don't get up," jeno said softly, taking the younger boy's waist in his hands to restrain him.
 
jaemin beamed at him, thinking how delightfully caring jeno is, something he never noticed. he also thought of how lucky he was this time that someone came to him unlike before even though many critical things still happened to him, the only thing that was different was that this time, he had assistance, as opposed to earlier when he had none. he would continue to cry by himself and no one would support him, but this time he had jeno by his side who adored him so. he also rescued him. In front of karina and the others, he gave him a bear hug, gave him a kiss, and reassured him. other than jaemin, he gave no thought to anything else.

and due to that, he now started to cry.

jaemin sobbed to Jeno for a while. he was extremely troubled by what had happened to him so suddenly. how the man tore him up, and how karina just stood there and watched him suffer like a heartless person. everything made him think of the previous bullying incidents.

the ravenette was playing with his hair and consoling the boy, jaemin was lying on his husband's chest.
 
"it's okay... it doesn't hurt me.. you came on the right time..", the pinkette whispered with tears in his eyes.
 
but jeno is aware that it does damage him. jaemin, the young boy who was lying on his chest, looked adorable as he was tilting his head to look at him. jeno helped the youngster sit down by removing him from his shoulder. He was aware that his entire body hurt, and he didn't want to injure him.

the pinkette was presently seated.In order to conceal his figure, he also gripped the covers tight to his collarbones. the other man was feeling something because of the way that jaemin appeared to be too innocent and adorable at the time. the ravenette experienced a level of longing for him that he had never experienced before. he desperately wanted to care for his helpless body by touching and comforting him. jeno carefully drew nearer to the youngster and hugged his frail body as he gave him an embrace. he tilted his head to rest on jeno's shoulder while jaemim replied in the kindest possible way.

because jeno was unable to manage his feelings, all he wanted to do was make jaemin feel better, more safe, and loved.

he tenderly massaged his icy, exposed back. the sheet was now gone away from jaemin's body. now that jeno could see him, jaemin was a little uneasy from the looks, but he wasn't afraid because he knew his husband wouldn't ever injure him. jeno caught jaemin's gaze as he hesitantly did so. he appeared to be about to cry because to the pinkette's mournful, doll-like eyes. as tears streamed down his face, he muttered, "i'm ugly." his body, which was covered with redness, nail marks, and bruises, looked terrible, and jeno understood what he was talking about.
  
"you're the most beautiful person i have ever seen", the ravenette leaned closer to Jaemin's neck, whispering. in order to make his husband feel better, he delicately kisses the scarlet markings on his neck. he said softly, "you're a literal angel," behind his left ear. to prevent hurting or frightening jaemin, he held his body safely in his hand. while both of them yearned for one another, they were hesitant to get close to one another as jeno gazed tenderly into his lover's eyes. now that jaemin was so near to jeno, he gently grabbed his waist to bring him in. their faces rubbed against one another, and they could feel each other's breathing. even though jaemin wanted to touch his husband so badly, he felt frozen and his heart began to race so quickly that he was reluctant to move or touch jeno.
 
pinkette went blank when jeno laid a kiss on his cheek since he was so shy and his heart was pounding in his chest. the raven-haired person shifted to jaemin's jaw and gave him feather-light kisses from his jaw to the nape of his neck. he kissed every mark in the vicinity muttering, "you're gorgeous, na jaemin," and pressed his lips to his collarbones.
 
jeno was scared of the pinkette due to his low humming sound. he met jaemin's eyes directly and saw a tear start to flutter down his cheek as their eyes connected. jaemin slightly covered his mouth to conceal his uncomfortable expression.

jeno questioned, taking hold of jaemin's hand to move it away from his mouth, "am I hurting you?

he sputtered, "n-no," turning his head away from the ravenette.
 
"jaemin ah... look at me baby", the ravenette demanded as he cupped the pinkette's cheeks. jaemin's reddened and flushed cheeks, as well as the fact that the youngster wasn't making eye contact with the ravenette, caught his attention. but jeno thought he was too charming and adorable.

 
"am i hurting you? do you not like what I'm doing?...", to ensure that jaemin wouldn't be alarmed or disturbed, he gently repeated his query.

the pink-haired boy said, "i'm terrified," lowering his face as tears streamed from those gleaming eyes all the way to his chin. jeno's heart grew faint at the awful appearance. He promptly gave the young boy the most cosy and loving hug. "i apologise, sweetheart.. you, my tiny angel, are so delicate and sweet. i'm sorry if i scared you... i forgot how frail you are", he caressed the boy's back to calm him and whispered into his ears.

"please don't apologise, jeno.... i'm so sorry you have to see me like this...", he was sobbing uncontrollably so the ravenette picked him up and placed him on his chest; while he sobbed, jeno's dark shirt became stained.

"baby... did Iitruly hurt you?" the man asked as he lifted his face to stare into his eyes.

jaemin gave a dismissive headshake. "i did feel that way... jeno, those memories.. came flooding back... but i know you wouldn't ever hurt me... and i know you wouldn't ever force me or harm me... i'm sorry, but I'm aware that i can't make you feel special... you see, i'm just too terrified...i feel hurt because i am so weak...", jaemin's fragility was clear as he spoke; he bore too much and was obviously insecure.

"i need you so badly, baby... you do too much for me without even realising it. all these years, i have been waiting for you, jaemin, to return to me. I can't bear to lose you now that i have you..."

after hearing those words, which caused him to become emotional, the pinkette instantly encircled jeno with his arms. after repeatedly seeing jaemin cry because of those scumbags, jeno's heart was already torn. he merely desired to give him a sense of importance and love.

"you didn't even let me know you were afraid, did you?..." as he patted on jaemin's back, the man asked questions.

he murmured something under jeno's ear, "i didn't want to let you down... in response to him, the ravenette kissed him close to his jaw and said, "im so sorry."

the ravenette finally spoke up as he stroked jaemin's hair, saying, "we'll take things slow just the way you like.. and i won't ever force you to do anything." the two continued to hold each other for a bit.
  
after telling jeno about his feelings, Jaemin felt much better. he also knew that his husband loves him so much that he would never injure him.

the pink haired boy was gently pushed onto the bed by jeno as he slowly pulled away from him, jeno was holding jaemin at his waist and his head with while gently putting him the bed. currently, the pinkette was lying on the bed.

jeno said, "you should wear something or else you'll catch a cold," and with that he got out of bed and proceeded to get a shirt for jaemin from the closet.
 
in no time, the boy returned with a clothing. he assisted jaemin in standing up a little so that he could assist him in donning a shirt. the ravenette was nearly on top of jaemin as he lay on the bed with his shirt's buttons undone.

the pinkette laughed and pointed to his wider sleeves, saying, "it's yours."

jeno chuckled a little.

as his husband knelt down to press his buttons, jaemin's heart began to race. the ravenette gave the pinkette a kiss on the body before closing each button. every time he felt lips stroking his skin, jaemin would tightly close his eyes. jaemin found it quite endearing how much jeno loves and looks after him.
 
jeno kissed him once from his navel to his chest before fastening the shirt's button. every time he felt a kiss, jaemin's face flushed. He then came to a stop at the collar button, but instead of closing it, jeno gave him a kiss directly between the collarbones. with his eyes closed, jaemin grinned a little. he was practically on top of the pinkette. he gazed at jaemin, who was shy and looked cute with his eyes still closed. jeno thought it was adorable. jaemin opened his eyes and stared into the ravenette's black eyes, which were faintly gleaming as he cupped his face.
 
as he caressed his lover's face, jeno traced his bottom lip with his thumb. he noticed that his lips were bruised a little, jeno looked at jaemin with concern as he asked, "has he kiss you?..."

jaemin hide his gaze from his husband, "y-yess... i'm sorry".
 
the man crushed his lips against jaemin without even responding to him. as soon as he felt jeno's soft, full lips against his, jaemin's eyes opened. he was unable to make sense of anything, but he was only aware of his husband kissing him. jaemin's face was softly cupped by jeno. when he did eventually get to kiss jaemin, it seemed like a dream as his silky lips touched jeno's. the two lips fit together like a puzzles, sending hearts rushing with love. the two rubbed their lips slowly and lovingly against one another as if they had forgotten all stress and strain. simply put, the two were too engrossed in their tender kiss.
 
jaemin made a small noise that caused jeno to stop kissing him, but he didn't. To calm him down, he intertwined his hands with jaemin's, and they continued their sweet kiss. additionally, jaemin used one of his hands to cup jeno's face. It almost felt surreal how lovely and affectionate his husband was being with him today. it was so reassuring and relaxing that he had never imagined receiving a kiss in this manner. even though he was extremely scared, jaemin was overcome with emotion during his first kiss and didn't want jeno to end their passionate embrace. the anxiety was too great, but jeno's reassurance helped jaemin, who became a little upset and began to cry. tears rolled down his face but his eyes were shut and he didn't let his emotions disturb his husband who was tenderly kissing him.
 
but the clang of the bell startled jaemin. he slowly drew away from jeno, but the ravenette gave him a questionable look as if he didn't want to stop.

 
"husband .. i-i heard the door bell..", he shuttered facing away. jeno looked near the door but heard no such thing so he faced at the boy again.
 
"it's not an excuse?! .. i heard the door bell!..", the pinkette flushed pouting angrily.
 
"it's pass four... who is it at this moment", as soon as the ravenette finished speaking, the doorbell rang again, this time being heard by both of them. jeno continued to kiss jaemin's lips and grinned softly.

"i'll be back angel".
 
jaemin blushed as he nodded. his husband was leaving the room as he moved, and his eyes followed him.

the pinkette made the decision to go and see what jeno was doing because it was taking so long for him to return to jaemin.

as soon as he down the stairs, he came upon mrs lee, who was screaming at her son. when jaemin saw the two, he immediately raced to them.

he overheard mrs lee yelling that jeno had done nothing to look after Jaemin. He is to blame for everything. When Jaemin saw Jeno simply standing there without even attempting to defend himself as if what she had said were true, his heart ached.

Mr. Lee turned to face Jaemin as he approached, and the woman promptly gave him a bear embrace, "j-jaemin.. are you okay?!? my baby... i'm sorry.. i straight away came here after hearing the new of you..."
 
"m-mom.. calm down, i'm alright..", the pinkette was himself shock to see the woman here. he didn't expect her to come here but he was glad to see her.
 
"sweetheart... i'll make sure they get punished... i'm so sorry... my son never took care of you... you deserve everything jaemin but he doesn't deserve you", hugging jaemin, the woman was about to cry. but to cheer her up, the young one patted her on the back and moved away.
 
"mom.. don't say such things.. he loves me so much.. jeno was the one who called the cops.. he was the one who comforted me, took care of me.. he just loves me so much and he bore alot too.. so please don't say such thing to him.. he deserves everything, he deserves the whole world", jaemin stood next to jeno while he spoke, getting closer as he did so and holding his hand. he spoke all of those things to him in front of the elder one, though he was looking downcast. but the ravenette was reassured by his husband's remarks since they were simply too lovely.

the woman, seeing the two of them together, grinned while crying. she gave each boy a bear hug. "i adore you both so much. jeno yah... please keep him safe."
 
"i promise," the ravenette said, his eyes glistened.
  
"mom you should sleep... you need to rest", jaemin said as he pulled away from the woman. jeno assisted her in carrying her stuff as she nodded to depart, and the pinkette accompanied him. the two boys retired to their rooms as soon as his mother was comfortable in hers so they could finally have a good night's sleep. jaemin slept after being held by jeno.
