Guilty Parties [ NoRenMin ] | ✓

- Thirty Two -

Lucas' groan was heard, and Jungwoo's teasing laugh after.

Taeyong looked at the group of boys, and brought them and their stuff by the couches, and were getting ready to sit down, but then Jisung decided to cut the silence.

"Can we really trust this couch?" 

Taeyong furrowed his eyebrows, and Jisung threw his hands up in frustration. Chenle cooed at him, almost laughing when the youngest shot a quick look of disapproval.

"Did you not see what was just happening?? How can we trust that they haven't gotten further than that?"

Taeyong's eyes widen as a small blush seemed to unfold on his face. Quickly shaking his head, and giving a shocked look at the rest of the group. The others offered no help for the other, not even Jaehyun had anything to say to help him.

"Is he talking about what I think he's talking about?"

"Are you kidding me? Sex education was something I learned about like years ago," Jisung countered, still not willing to sit on the couch.

Renjun groaned, not wanting another argument, and decided to just trust the Doyoung character's discipline to not allow something like that to happen on the couch. He was soon met with Jaemin's and Jeno's presence on both sides of his body, not waiting for approval before wrapping the smaller into their arms. Jeno quickly placed his chin on the older's head, whereas Jaemin put his cheek against Renjun's shoulder.

Chenle sat down too, then Mark and Donghyuck, and, although very begrudgingly, Jisung sat down next to Chenle.  

Taeyong smiled at Renjun, appreciating the help with the boys, and Renjun smiled slightly back, not wanting to get the two boys at his side ruffled up at the action. Jeno scowled, and held the boy closer, eyes flashing until Taeyong put his hands up, showing that, once again, he is no harm to the boys.

Jaemin didn't notice the exchange mainly because the boy was halfway asleep against Renjun's shoulder.

Mark sat next to Chenle and Donghyuck, when he felt another hand brush against his. He looked towards Donghyuck, who was looking at him with slightly scared eyes.

Mark smiled reassuringly at the younger, and firmly held his hand, knowing that Donghyuck wanted and needed the comfort.

This was all so new, and frightening.

Jisung was too busy frowning to notice Chenle clinging to his arm, noticing the tension that Jeno and Taeyong were having.

Then he remembered that they were going to be living with Defects.

Sure, they were used to living with Jeno, but he was Jeno. Someone who wasn't a complete stranger, and they still didn't know how many of these people were Defects, and what defects did they have.

"O.K., so hopefully the others are going to come down soon, and we're going to introduce you all to them and the other way around. They will tell you their defect, and you're going to tell them something about yourselves," Taeyong said, trying to keep the mood at a lighter tone.

"Why do we have to say something about ourselves?" Donghyuck asked.

"Because revealing one's defect is something very personal, and we need to establish trust right away if this is going to work. And they aren't going to say their defects willingly."

Mark nodded, "How many are there?"

"There are fourteen of us-"

"Who is this child and can he be my son?" A strange man came up, and cut Taeyong off, quickly approaching Jeno, who was being shielded by Renjun's small frame.

"Doyoung, what are you doing?"

oh god.
