Chapter 22 - Connection One
CatalystJisoo had fallen asleep in Daehwi's bed as the rest of them were sat downstairs in the living room looking at one another. The tension was high in the room. The only ones that seemed to be a little better off than the rest of them were Jihoon, Jinyoung, and Minhyun. They were looking at one another with Glares before the front door slammed to reveal a disheveled Jisung. All of their eyes darted to the figure who frankly. Looked like . His eyes showed huge bags and dark circle from exhaustion and his top had blood seeping through even with the poor stitch job that had been applied.
Daehwi rushed over to his side but quickly realized that he couldn't do anything for him magically with his powers still residing within Jisoo. Anyhow, Daehwi shuffled into the kitchen and pulled out a first-aid kit to fix the poor stitching. He cut the fine plastic threads that would ordinarily be used on stretchy clothing from the elders' skin. Jisung let him proceed without struggling knowing the younger would persuade him anyway that he needed to be fixed up and treated by him.
New stitched were applied with the steady hands of Daehwi and a sheet of gauze was taped around the wound. The others still sat on the couch stood up when Jisung and the other entered the room again from the adjoining kitchen. Seongwoo was the first to step forward getting closer to the eldest before chuckling a little.
"You look like ," Seongwoo said before pulling him into a hug. Jisung winced at the contact with his shoulder which Seongwoo quickly apologized for "I really did a number on you," He said looking at the wound almost proud of himself. Jisung scoffed before prodding the others side.
"I'm pretty sure I did worse," Jisung said ending with a short laugh.
"Fair point," Seongwoo said hugging him once again and patting his back before pulling away to see the rest of them just turn off and go to do their own thing. "Anyway, I'm gonna go to bed. Almost dying takes it out of you," He said before climbing up the staircase and giving a little salute before closing the door on his room.
Jisung followed quickly by going into his own room to rest after the events of that day. After resting on his bed for about 10 minutes the door opened to his room snapping him back awake. He looked up to see Woojin closing the door behind him. "What do you need?" Jisung asked croaking a little from just waking up.
"We all have the same mate don't we," Woojin said making Jisung sit up and breathe out. "Its Jisoo isn't it," He said making the older one slam his hand over Woojin's mouth.
"This room isn't soundproof you know," Jisung said lifting his hand away and sighing.
"I'm right then," Woojin said letting his shoulders deflate a little. "Why do we have to share, it isn't fair. I always wanted a mate and now I have to share her with who knows how many people," Jisung placed a hand on his shoulder.
"It's just how it is. I sort of knew once Daehwi was mated with her. I felt it and my wolf instantly became overbearingly nice. The others must have felt their wolves being uncomfortable when she was around but just ignored it," Jisung said in order to calm the erratic heartbeat of the boy in front of him. "If you love her, won't it be enough. Wouldn't it be better to share than to not have her at all," He said with the hand on the other's shoulder now rubbing it in attempt to stop the boy from reacting negatively and end up bursting into tears. "Don't tell the others just yet, we don't know how they would react. Wait until Daehwi seems comfortable with it, He knows too."
After shushing the younger boy, Jisung slept like the dead. The next morning he was awoken by the smell of Bacon. Leaving the room he smelt the scent even stronger, none of the boys could cook other than Jaehwan and he NEVER cooked breakfast. So he was wondering who the hell was there frying bacon in the early hours of the morning.
When he walked into the kitchen he was met with the friendly face of Axel (Daniel's father) cooking an abundance of meat and french toast for the boys who were yet to get
