"Uh.. Sungie?"

Hyunjin frowned when his gaze
fell on the tiny squirrel boy happily
munching on what seemed like
his third burger.

"Hm?"

"Are these… Double beef burgers?"

"Yes! They're so good! I'm sorry
I didn't text you to ask if you
want one too."

"And you ate three of them?
All by yourself? Just now?"

"Yeah. I was kinda hungry."

Jisung shrugged before he took
another big bite from his burger,
humming at the juicy meat
melting in his mouth.

It wasn't that Hyunjin was concerned
about his roommate enjoying three
burgers, it was more about the fact
that Jisung was a squirrel hybrid.

He was a herbivore,
had aways been.

"Sungie?"

"Hm?"

"Have you.. Uhm..
Ever had a burger before?"

The white shepherd hybrid took
a seat across from Jisung, handing
the younger a napkin when the
squirrel boy began to lick his fingers
clean after finishing his meal.

"Mhm! I had a veggie burger a
few months ago! But today I
passed this one diner and the
beef on the grill smelled so good.
So I got three burgers there.
It's Kim's Diner, you should
go there too someday!"

And again the older male could
only wonder how innocent and
dense someone could be.

"Jisung."

The little squirrel's eyes grew
wide at the older's serious tone
and he immediately started to
tremble when Hyunjin stared at
him with an unreadable expression.

"Why are you eating
meat so suddenly?"

And when it finally dawned on
Jisung what his roommate meant,
his face turned pale in a
matter of seconds.

"I think I need to-"

But before the little squirrel boy
could finish his sentence, he already
disappeared at light speed with his
hand clamped over his mouth.

And Hyunjin could only sigh when he
heard the younger's painful retching.

It wasn't the first time this week
and slowly but surely the shepherd
hybrid had a suspicion what
was going on.

Although it was pretty hard to
imagine that Jisung should have
mated with someone and if this
was true, the blonde would for
sure castrate Dongwoon and
make sure that the alpha couldn't
spell his own name again until
he'd realize what he had done.

How could you take advantage
of such an innocent bean like Jisung,
especially when he was at his most
vulnerable state during heat?

He should have gone with him back
then, he should have made sure
that the little squirrel was
properly taken care of.

And he should have urged Jisung
to take birth control, no matter if
something had happened or not
during the stay with his alpha.

"Oh darling.
Let it all out, you'll feel
better afterwards."

Hyunjin sighed as he knelt down
beside his roommate and rubbed
his back gently.

"But the burgers-"

The little squirrel wasn't even
able to finish his sentence before
he already gagged again, the first
tears rolling down his
chubby cheeks.

"It's okay, wait a second."

Jisung whimpered when the
other disappeared for a moment
to get a hair tie so he could tie the
squirrel hybrid's brown bangs into
a tiny apple hair ponytail.

It was a pitiful sight.

The small trembling ball cowering
in front of the toilet, his bushy
squirrel tail wrapped tightly
around himself in a protective
manner.

"Sweetie, I think we need to
talk after this. But now I'll go
make you some tea and a heat pad."

Hyunjin sighed as he wiped
Jisung's forehead and nape
with a cold washcloth.

And the small omega only nodded
as he sniffled and wiped his mouth.

Three yummy burgers for nothing.

Why did he keep on puking at the
most random times of the day?

At one moment he was craving
something so much that he felt like
he'd die if he wouldn't eat it soon
and the next moment he found
himself leaned over the toilet,
throwing up everything he
had eaten.

He had thought that it was some
sort of migraine, the daily
headaches, the throwing up
and the extreme cravings.

But there were two things
Jisung couldn't really explain.

He had always been a little
chubby but why was he gaining
weight despite barely keeping
any food down?

And there was another thing
the little squirrel had noticed two
days ago but he was too shy to even
think about it so there was no
way he'd ask Hyunjin.

"There you go, sweetie.
It's still hot so be careful."

The older omega sighed as he
handed Jisung the cup of tea and
took the wet towel again to wipe the
little squirrel's forehead and neck.

"This has been going on for
over a week already, I have an
idea of what's going on and I'd
like to check something later.
It won't hurt, I promise.
Would that be okay with you?"

And Jisung only nodded as he
rested his head on his friend's
shoulder, feeling unbelievably tired.
