"The penguin is in heat?!"

"Yes, Haknyeon, now calm down."

"Hey, Pingu, don't fuck around, okay?" Eric shouted with a smirk on his face.

Jaehyun and Eric were having a blast sitting together and mocking the ones going into heat. Even Haknyeon started joining in.

"I think that we're all going into heat pretty soon", Jacob said with furrowed brows. “I mean...none of us were in heat while we were in that corridor…”

“Juyeon were”, Changmin said. “Don’t you remember how scary that was?”

“Oh yeah, I forgot that! But none other than him were in heat so we all should be in it soon.”

“A-All of you? On the same time?”

“Yeah...I’m scared over how that will be. None of us will be sane enough to protect you from the others.”

“It’ll be okay...right?”

“Yeah, you got me”, Juyeon said and put his arm around my shoulders. “I won’t go into heat.”

I hugged his waist, actually feeling scared of what would happen if they all went into heat at once. He wrapped both arms around me and rested his chin on top of my head.

“So cute”, Changmin smiled. “You’re really tiny, Y/N. Let me try.”

Juyeon gave me over to the hamster who giggled.

“I can see the top of your head, Y/N”, he said.

“Yeah, yeah, it’s all fun and games until one of you don’t let me go. Chanhee didn’t like that I left him this morning...and Kevin wanted to come with me when I was going to buy the pills...and he scented me…”

“He did? I thought you smelled like him…”, Jacob said.

“Trust me, baby, when we all get into heat, it’s over for you”, Eric smirked.

“I thought Kevin was the flirty one?” I asked.

“Why do you think we make such a great pair?” His smirk was so big.

“What should I do with you, kitty?”

“Hug and kiss me and tell me how much you love me?” The smirk was gone, replaced by a pout.

I smiled and sat down beside him on the couch. He put me in his lap and hugged me tightly, holding his nose into the back of my neck.

“Changmin, can you go get everyone?” I asked. “Wake the ones that are sleeping. We need everyone in here now.”

—♤—

I nodded at Y/N and hurried off to get the ones still asleep.

That would mean...Younghoon, Kevin, Chanhee, Sunwoo and Sangyeon! Oh no...not Sangyeon.

Sangyeon was unable to wake up. Since it was winter now, he slept the entire time and I was afraid of him. He was so big and muscular that if I tried to disturb him, he would probably chew my head off. I found Younghoon and Kevin in their room and Sunwoo and Sangyeon in theirs, but Chanhee was not in our room. After managing to wake Sangyeon up, I went into the last room Chanhee could possibly be in: Y/N’s.

“There you are”, I sighed and held my hands on my hips. “Why are you in Y/N’s bed?”

He was laying, curled up into a ball while hugging one of her pillows.

“It smells like her”, Chanhee choked out. “I started going into heat yesterday and now it’s begun for real. It hurts.”

“Y/N wants everyone down to the kitchen, come on.”

I started walking outside, but his voice stopped me.

“I-I can’t”, Chanhee choked out, trying to not make any embarrassing sounds. “Changmin, if I go down there, I’ll get laughed at and I’ll make Y/N uncomfortable. You know why.”

“Take a pillow with you.”

“Changmin! Stop joking around! I’m serious!”

“I’ll go talk with Y/N.”

“N-No, don’t! I don’t want her to know…”

I sighed and shut my eyes in annoyance. “Then what do you want me to do?”

“Get me a pill.”

“Where are they?”

“I don’t know!”

I started looking around her room but soon understood that it was an invasion of her privacy.

“I have to talk to her about it. I’ll be back soon with pills. Try not to make a mess, okie?” I couldn’t help but grin

“I will murder you, Ji Changmin.”

I laughed and ran out, down to Y/N.

“Where is Chanhee?” she asked.

“Yeah, about htat…”, I said quietly and bit my lip. “He needs a pill. Quickly.”

“I’ll fix this.”
