I'm so glad #omegaLWJseason isn't over yet, because I keep thinking of OmegaJi side-eyeing Coworker!AlphaXian because he's ONCE AGAIN sweet talking some vapid omega on the phone, while WORKING.
He does this several times a week and it's so unprofessional that Lwj seethes 😤
Right now, Wwx is resting his phone on his shoulder while he types and murmurs "yes, sweetheart" here and there.
He's been on the phone for more than ten minutes and finally he closes with "Of course I love you, bunny, I'll never leave you"
Lwj clenches his teeth
Lwj is half tempted to report this but Wwx is so shameless that he has even answered his phone in front of boss Nie Mingjue and said boss didn't have anything to say so Lwj just takes a deep breath and keeps working.
Unfortunately, he can't say Wwx is bad at his job.
Actually, he's rather brilliant, considerate, has unconventional but incredibly productive solutions and is great at team work. Most people love him.
Maybe because most people don't hear him during his lovey dovey "Oh, sweetheart, I missed your voice so much" breaks 😒
Yesterday he probably did something awful to that oversensitive omega, because he spent almost half an hour soothing them with "Don't cry, baby, I won't cancel again".
Classic Alpha behavior. He obviously uses his delicious smell and perfect looks to ensnare gullible Omegas.
Wwx goes to an hour long meeting and forgets his phone on his desk. It starts ringing and doesn't stop for minutes on end.
Lwj looks at it on the third bout of ringing, wary. It could be important. But if another Omega answers, it could cause problems for Wwx's relationship.
(Of course that's not something Lwj wants, despite the second hand irritation it causes in his life)
The ringing is very insistent, so he decides to answer in case it's actually important.
"Hello?"
"Baba? Where's Baba? 🥺"
Lwj's heart goes on a rollercoaster ride in the next minute, because it's a little kid!🥺 it's not an Omega😏 but a little kid calling Wwx Baba must mean there's an Omega in the picture 🤔 but the little kid is just about to cry 😱 but he sounds so cute and Lwj loves kids 😳
When Wwx's meeting ends he practically runs back to his office all worried, and finds Lwj — the guy who apparently hates his guts—telling a story about bunnies to A-Yuan on the phone.
It's on speaker, so A-Yuan's giggles are clear and wonderful.
Turns out Wwx recently adopted orphan A-Yuan, who is still adjusting and gets really anxious when he doesn't see his father and believes he's gone for good each time Wwx goes to work.
It's been a hard couple of weeks, trying to soothe A-Yuan through the phone.
A-Yuan hasn't laughed even once when they separate, so Wwx is astounded by those giggles. Maybe he'll ask Lwj to marry him then and there.
(Lwj would say yes if he did)
Oh yes, they do. Now that Lwj has ascertained that Wwx is not a classic Alpha player but a caring father, he's ALL IN. Wwx just needs to get with the program!
(RIP Wwx, honestly, bc Lwj is in Full Seducing Mode now, plus ready to be the perfect stepdad)
Thinking of WWX and Mianmian actually dating because they're exploring together, to see if they like being in a relationship. It's a very loose arrangement, mostly they just do fun things together and talk a lot. It's comforting to have a person to share stuff with, y'know?
WWX just flirted at her once, as he usually does, and she flirted back because he was funny, if a bit dorky. Cue both of them like 🧍🏽♀️🧍🏽 "Oh, it actually worked... Now what?"
So now they do this thing together and become very close.
Obviously this means they get to meet each other's family and friends, including Mianmian's best friend LWJ.
LWJ is like "Ugh, your boyfriend is so annoying, ridiculous, noisy... And also handsome. And smart. And kind. And considerate. And..."
The neighbor boy is going through that stage in which he likes to imitate animal walks. He walks like a crab, gallops like a horse, even goes roaring with his hands close to his body, claiming he's a T-Rex.
LWJ smiles at him when they cross paths, amused by his exhuberance.
He'd like a kid, sometime.
He'd even like *that* kid, as A-Yuan is delightful, but he's not really attracted to the dad, a kind and silent young man who is simultaneously goth and a cinnamon roll. A cinnamon goth.
(That's uncle WN, but LWJ doesn't know yet)
LWJ is *far* more attracted to that other man who sometimes passes through to their house, usually in the evenings. Probably the Boyfriend?
Ugh, he shouldn't be jealous. He doesn't know either of them. He doesn't know if they're right for each other, even if his mind screams no.
Thinking of WWX bartending at a nightclub and befriending LXC, who frequently goes there to dance, flirt and more.
LXC doesn't drink, so WWX makes him fancy mocktails and they chat sometimes, before LXC is snatched up for the evening by some pretty thing.
You see, LXC is very popular. He's gay, but he usually attracts practically every eye in the club with his genial personality, love for dancing and devastating looks.
Not WWX though. He thinks LXC is good looking and a good conversationalist, but that's it.
Then the club gets a new bouncer and LXC turns to him like a moth to flame.
He dresses his sluttiest, dances his most provocative moves, has every single eye on him all night and yet, NMJ keeps doing his job, serious and distant.
He's in the background during WX's awkward arranged date with LWJ.
WX can't see bc WWX is behind him, but WWX keeps making faces and smirking at every subtly bitchy sentence that LWJ says.
LWJ accepts a second date with WX just to see WWX again.
Listen, LWJ didn't have a choice on the first date. As many young people from elite families, he was publicly invited by WX on an 'outing' to get to know each other better and couldn't refuse, or else he'd jeopardize the fragile peace amongst the most powerful ole families.
As many other young heirs and heiresses, he was supposed to be arm candy for an evening, then he would make his excuses and make himself scarce for the following weeks, and that would be all. Hopefully.
Thinking of Dragon!LXC desperately looking for his lost baby brother, only to find him happily munching on a very fierce-looking tiger's ear.
The tiger form is huge and imposing but that's nothing on the man he turns into when he notices an adult dragon appear.
LXC is relieved that his brother is safe, and a bit worried that he was bothering someone so dangerous. He's also a bit speechless at the man's appearance.
Then he feels overwhelming embarrassment when baby DragonJi decides to keep munching on the man's ear even as a human.
When the man just laughs at this and pats baby DragonJi affectionately, LXC minds goes blank.
LQR owns a bookshop. It's a new endeavor orchestrated by his nephews to keep him active and happy.
And he is. He really enjoys it.
He has the experience to actually run a business,the necessary patience to temper his love of books.
LXC gets him one of those felt letter boards to put quotes from books and change them every week, and writes "live, laugh, love" as the first message because he's just Like That.
LQR lets him because he really appreciates the support. He'll change the quote soon.
Except for the fact that in the coffee shop at the other side of the street, the next day they put "languish, lament, loathe" in an exaggerated gothic font on their chalkboard.
