Hyunjin's scent always takes Felix to places he never thought he'd know. Places that comfort him and bring sensations he never thought he'd feel. That's why, even though he’s complete crazy about Hyunjin’s looks, he loves to turn off the lights and focus only on the scent he's almost obsessed with. In the dark he inhales and feels it run through his entire body like a hallucinogen that takes him to transcendental places.
Hyunjin's taste is similar to his scent, but it's also warm. Whenever Felix enjoys his flavor, his taste buds explode and he melts. There's something addictive about it, and this something is always making him want more and more. If he doesn't taste his alpha, he gets annoyed, sad, stressed and anxious just like an addict. He needs to put his lips on Hyunjin’s and always have at least a dose of the flavor that calms and drives him crazy in equal measure.
Hyunjin's voice always resonates in his ears like a hypnotist's flute. No matter how much Felix plays and pretends, in the end, when the words with the melody of his alpha's voice reaches his ears, it easily controls him.
It's funny because the omega has always been the spoiled one, the bossy one. Of course, he's always been generous and affectionate in his acts with everyone, but he always liked being the one who orders and receives, and he's always the one who orders and receives in all his dynamics. But with that alpha, everything is different.
He wants to give Hyunjin everything he deserves to have, he wants to make him feel everything he deserves to feel, he wants to take him everywhere he deserves to go, he wants to say all the words he deserves to hear, he wants to fulfill all his wishes, all of them until he is completely fulfilled. He wants to drive him crazy by showing him he can do anything , anything he wants, because his alpha deserves everything, and he's the only one who can give it to him.
He wants to be the one, the only and one.
He wants to be the most precious rare gem in the world and belongs only to Hyunjin. He wants the alpha to show him to the world as his untouchable love object, one that the other is proud of.
He wants to be a wonderful place for the alpha, where he can feel safe, where he can hide from the turmoil. A magical, cozy, warm place that transcends fantasy and can give the other one everything he needs.
And he wants Hyunjin to never want to leave.
He wants to place his delicate hands on the other's beautiful face and spread love with his caresses. He wants to offer a comfortable embrace like satin and lace that makes everything feel right, an embrace that makes the other feel like heaven.
And he wants Hyunjin to never want to leave his embrace.
Sometimes he thinks that it’s so insane, so possessive, but he can't get the idea out of his head and heart, he can’t give up the desire that the alpha is his alone and that he is everything , absolutely everything, to the alpha.
Sometimes it seems too much, like that feral desire will rip him apart, explode him from inside. But it feels so good, so good , he can't even explain it. It's just incredibly good. He can't understand it, it's just too much, it's delirious. It's deliciously delirious.
Sometimes he feels selfish holding that alpha in his hands and wishing that no one else in the world experiences this. But at the same time, he feels so deserving of that gift from heaven. He’s a good person, God would definitely send that alpha directly to him, only to him and he knows he would do anything to not let anyone take it away from him.
And strangely, he sees in the alpha’s eyes, in his actions, in his words, in his touches, that Hyunjin wants it too in the same insane intensity he wants. That he already means everything to Hyunjin that he wants to mean, and that the other loves it as much as he does.
All those feelings are always present in him, all these desires pulsate in every moment since he and Hyunjin decided to be together. But there are moments when everything feels like an erupting volcano, moments like the one he finds himself in now, with the alpha going deep inside him and making him delirious with pleasure.
Just like now when Felix's mind almost explodes when he feels a sudden, really deep thrust that makes him see shining stars, makes him moan loudly and sharply while gripping the sheets tightly. He hides his face in them, almost embarrassed by his reaction.
He feels a firm slap on his right buttock and moans again. "Don't hide, kitten. You teased me until I dropped everything to give you the attention you wanted, now I want to hear you moaning loudly as compensation," Hyunjin says and wins another loud moan from him with another hard thrust.
And he didn't lie. Felix really spent the morning poking Hyunjin's nerves. The alpha was focused on working, but went to the blonde’s bedroom due to an innocent request for company from Felix, who was needy for attention.
Of course that he ended up being a victim of the omega’s desires.
Not that he has anything to complain about, quite the opposite, but he really had a lot to do and he deluded himself that he would only be able to satisfy the other's needs just with his presence. He really had no intention of ending up with his dick inside the smaller man, but now he's there, all the way inside the omega who has his ass stuck out towards him and his elbows on the bed.
And Felix simply loves it, he loves playing with Hyunjin as if he were a ball of yarn in his hands. He first waits for him to really concentrate so he can poke him, bite him, lick him by surprise and also pose and make provocative faces until the alpha gives in and does what he wants. And the response is always intense, just the way he likes it.
And that's why he hides his face once again and moans muffledly, just to contradict Hyunjin and get him mad until he goes even further, until he tightens the reins and Felix doesn't even have the strength to tease anymore.
The alpha smirks. "Okay, so maybe I'll have to take away the strength you still have to hide, right?"
That's it, do it , Felix's pleasure-hazy mind thinks, but he just responds with a muffled grunt to provoke the taller one even more.
"I get it, you want to be a bad kitten. So let's settle this" and after saying that he holds the blonde's hips even tighter and intensifies his movements with speed and depth. He can see Felix's delicate hand having difficulty closing to hold on to the sheet and laughs, the omega squirming.
The freckled blonde feels like the alpha is going to pierce him. It's exactly what he wanted, this makes his insides celebrate. And he knows that the other can't hold back and soon he'll be going even faster and he'll be about to forget his own name. The perfect way to start an afternoon.
He moans louder and louder, Hyunjin increases the speed even more and when it seems like he's finally reaching an unstoppable rhythm the alpha's cell phone next to them starts ringing.
Hyunjin growls angrily. Who the hell is calling me, holy shit , the dark-haired alpha curses internally and with all his strength he opens his eyes to check the screen of his phone.
And then, he regrets it, he really regrets it because his eyes widen and his heart almost comes out of his mouth. It's Minho. "Fuck" he says hating the world at that moment and stopping the thrusts and starting to slips out of the omega.
The blonde groans frustrated "Hyunjin what are you doing?" he asks indignantly while the phone still rings.
"Lix, it's your father"
"And? I swear if you take it out of me now I'll kill you" whining annoyed.
He sighs. "Baby, I have to answer him."
But the omega moves his hips back so Hyunjin can get deeper inside him. "And? Then answer the phone. I don't care, just don't stop."
And once again Hyunjin's life is a moral debate. He certainly doesn't want to keep fucking Felix while he answers the omega's father who’s also his boss and that also forbids him from getting romantic close to the omega, the omega who he is balls deep inside, really deep.
However, the last thing he wants is to make Felix frustrated, he knows how frustrated he gets and if there's something he doesn't want it's this and knows how frustrated Felix is a pain in the ass. If there's one thing he hates, it's denying the smaller man what they want.
On top of this, it feels so fucking good. He feels like leaving the warm insides of his omega is almost a hate crime against himself.
He once again looks at his phone and then looks at Felix's ass being splitted by his cock, so soft and hot, slick dripping, so inviting. I will regret it a lot, but I’ll do something really stupid , he thinks and takes the phone to answer.
Come on, you can do it, you’re the best at it .Using all his concentration to disguise his breathless voice, he answers the call. "Hi boss" he tries to be straightforward to not show any change in him while keeping the movements inside the blonde, but much slower.
"Hi Hyune, you're home today, right?" The eldest alpha asks on the other side of the line.
But before he can answer, the blonde, smiling, stoves himself further and begins to make circular slow motions with his hips while going back and forth. Hyunjin closes his eyes tight to contain his moans feeling the mindbreaking moves. "Yes, I'm yes, boss" he can victoriously say the words without surrendering.
Felix laughs silently and mischievously, Hyunjin looks at him as if he’s warning him to stop it, because he doesn't know how normal he can act when the blonde slowly wiggling in him, but the other doesn't seem to have the slightest desire to stop. Fucking devil , the alpha thinks.
"Oh great. Is Yongbok home? I'm calling him and he doesn't answer me. He spends the whole day with that damn phone in his hand, but when we call him he disappears" the alpha complains.
Hyunjin looks at the omega and smiles mockingly. "Oh, Felix?" the blonde immediately widens his eyes. "He is, boss. I didn't see him much after breakfast, but he didn't say he was going out, so I imagine he's in his bedroom" his sharp eyes stare into the round, dark ones. He smiles teasely "if you want I can take the phone to him"
So the omega quickly shakes his head, trying to stop Hyunjin from doing what he’s clearly trying to do. However, the only thing he gets from this is a deep thrust that makes him cover his mouth with his small hands to stop himself from letting out a loud moan.
"It's not necessary Hyune, I just need a favor"
He increases the speed of the thrusts a little, smiling while Felix keeps trying to silence himself. "Sure, I will, boss. Go ahead and talk," he takes a deep breath after answering to help him control himself.
"Tell him that Kibum and I are coming over. Minji got into a fight at the daycare and they called Seungmin, but he and Chan were in a meeting, so Kibum and I went to see what was going on. When we got there, she was furious and it was a big mess and in the end she didn't want to stay there at all. But we have a busy day too, so tell Yongbok that we need his help to take care of her today."
The alpha freezes and widens his eyes. "Oh, so you're already coming?"
"Yes, we'll be there soon."
He looks at Felix, who begins to understand what’s happening and rolls his eyes in annoyance at the whole situation. There couldn't be a worse time for all this, not because of the fear of being caught, but because he desperately needs Hyunjin to make him cum.
"Okay... I'll let him know, boss. See you later."
"Thanks, see you later," Minho says goodbye.
The alpha is about to move again to get off Felix, but the blonde intervenes, "Stop it, don't you dare."
"Lix, your parents are coming!"
"And? Minji's daycare is ten minutes away. Do your job." He seems unyielding, ready to never forgive Hyunjin if he leaves him at that moment.
Laughing in disbelief, the alpha simply accepts his fate. Horny Felix is like a little demon dressed as an angel giving orders in his ear, orders that he simply accepts.
Without even trying to fight, he just manages to turn the blonde around. "Well, let's go, kitten," he says and receives a satisfied, naughty smile in response. He adjusts his angle inside the other and begins his mission.
With the frenetic pace and perfect angle, he thinks he will easily be able to accomplish his mission in record time. He knows where to hit, how to hit to achieve what Felix wants. However, there’s something that happens to him when he is inside Felix and makes everything a big mess.
The blond omega's interior is extraordinary. An outlier. It's something so inexplicable that the pleasure he gives Hyunjin even messes up with space-time. Less than ten minutes away from Minji's daycare are certainly not the same as the ten minutes inside that room, because everything that has happened since he hung up the phone lasted ten seconds at most.
Call him crazy, but this is exactly how things are.
He seems to have closed his eyes for a few seconds, but when he opens them and looks at the screen of his laptop on the desk next to the bed, he focus in one of the small frames of the house's cameras, he is startled by the image he sees: Minho's shining black car entering the mansion's gates. "Fuck. Lix, they're coming in."
Felix has his eyes closed as he bites his lips. "I don't care... I'm almost there, alpha... Please. I'm almost there." His answer comes out in a high-pitched, desperate tone.
He looks at his omega's sweaty face, twisted with pleasure.
The image is so delightful. It's very easy for him to be manipulated by this and there's no way for him to deny anything to Felix at this moment. So he just keeps with his thrusts that go directly to the omega's sweet spot, accelerating even more, feeling like he's in a race against time.
The blonde's moans become shorter and more hurried. Hyunjin doesn't know what to do, if he closes his eyes to concentrate on the pleasure, if he watches the screen to monitor the others' entry into the house, or if enjoys the view Felix is offering him.
The only thing he knows is that the situation is making his blood boil. He should be scared, but quite the opposite happens, because it's hooking him up, it’s so arousing and it’s making him go faster and faster.
He watches the car park and the doors open. A hard thrust makes Felix cry out.
He watches them approach the elevator. He begins to build in both of their climaxes.
He watches some house workers stop Minho and Kibum to talk about something. He smiles. "Come on, baby, I need you to come for me now, okay?"
Felix's hand reaches for her black hair and holds it tightly. "Alpha..." the omega moans, hyperstimulated, "I'm almost..."
"I know, I know, cum for me, do it." The adrenaline rush is intense, the pulses from the climax begin to fill their bodies, his sweat drops in the other.
He watches them finish talking and press the elevator button. His mind becomes a blank space. They're so close, everything hangs by a thread. It’s so risky.
Feels fucking amazing.
Felix moans loudly. It wouldn't be hard to hear if they'd already gone up to their floor.
And the whole situation drives them both crazy. The tension of being caught, everything , everything is so insane. The dark-haired alpha leans in and rests his forehead against the other's, feeling their messy rhythm.
He watches the elevator arrive and they step inside. He closes his eyes tightly. Felix's hands slips to his shoulder, gripping, digging his nails in the flesh in a painfully pleasurable way.
The elevator door closes.
And those seconds seem the longest and fastest in the world at the same time. The world just comes back to make sense when they both moan loudly, almost screaming. Together. Risking themselves together, feeling the climax together in that fucked up situation. The blonde spills himself in Hyunjin’s abdomen, who spills himself inside the smaller man as they give him one last deep kiss.
"Fuck... Lix..." he says, his voice trembling, his body giving one last spasm as his orgasm ends.
Hyunjin quickly pulls out of the omega, who laughs mischievously and gets up from the bed, almost falling on his trembling legs. "Shit," he laughs even more, happily, satisfied, not caring about anything yet numb from orgasm, "go on, open the balcony door wider." the blonde says, smiling wide.
Hyunjin, still naked, obeys, also laughing, "the things you make me do, you fucking menace."
"Shut up and hide already, go to my bathroom, there won't be time for you to run to your room," he replies, struggling to put on the clothes that were thrown on the floor.
The dark-haired alpha just nods, then grabs his laptop with one hand and his clothes with the other and runs to hide, while Felix hurriedly grabs a spray to mask the hormones in the room with one hand and sprays himself with some random perfume he grabbed with the other one.
He rushes to tie up his messy hair, and when he finishes, he hears a knock on the door. Just in time , he thinks. Before opening the door, Felix lets out one last laugh and sighs.
Kibum stands in front of the door with a raised eyebrow. "What's this smell?" he asks his son as soon as the door opens.
"Hey, Dad!" He smiles nervously. "I... It's my perfume. I was watching some exercise videos and I sweated a little..." he lies.
Of course the other one is not convinced, but he decides he really doesn't want to hear any more stupid lies, and he knows there's no way anything coming out of Felix's mouth could be anything other than stupid lies. He sighs. "Whatever. Minji's not in a good mood. Your dad took her to her room to leave her with her toys. Let’s go there."
"Okay!" He smiles and nods.
The two omegas walk to the little girl's room. Once there, Minho shakes a doll at a clearly annoyed Minji. "Honey, let's go," Kibum interrupts him.
"Hi, Daddy."
The alpha smiles when he sees his son. "Hi, my dear. Is it okay to leave her with you?"
"Of course, you can go ahead and do your things, leave her to me!." He leans against the wall, trying to stay away from his father and avoid him smelling his scent.
"Well, Lixie will take care of everything and call us if you need something, dear. Let's go," Kibum looks at Minho and rushes him. "Bye, my princess." He goes to Minji and kisses her forehead.
Minho does the same and then smiles at the blond omega. "Thank you, son, see you later." The two walk out the door, leaving Felix there with Minji.
The cute colorful room seems tense. The little girl has always been short on patience, but the blonde doesn't think he's ever seen her so annoyed. He doesn't even know where to begin with her, so he just sits and watches her run her hands through a doll's hair.
Getting along with children has always come naturally to him. Not because he’s an omega, but because he’s Felix, a princess, a fairy or God knows what the children say he is. They laugh together, play together, he respects them and wants to see them well and happy. But right now, he wishes he knew how to do more, how to encourage her to talk, to tell her stories to calm her heart and put his niece at ease.
But he doesn't know how, he has no idea how. There's always been this bullshit about omegas being biologically prepared for this, something he's always found ridiculous, and right then and there, he shows how completely nonsensical it really is, because he even wishes he were naturally prepared to take a child's worries away.
And if there's even a chance this is true, maybe he's a failed omega. He doesn't have the instinct to reach out to his niece and understand what she's feeling. It's sad, he wants to do more for her, not just because he loves her, but because in his head he feels he needs to learn how to deal with certain things. Mature, perhaps.
"May I ask what upset our princess today?" Felix and Minji glance quickly toward the door when they hear Hyunjin's voice.
The child watches him for a moment, but turns back to the doll. The alpha smiles and winks at Felix, then walks to sit across from the child.
He picks up a small toy brush from near Minji's foot and holds out his hand for her to hand him the doll. Gently, he begins to brush the doll's black hair while the little girl watches him.
Without taking his eyes off the movements he's making with the artificial hair, he tries to start a conversation with the girl. "You know, I don't go to school anymore, but every day at work there are a lot of people who make me angry too."
Her dark eyes watch him, interested.
"Sometimes I come back really mad at people there, at these times I know I need to talk to someone and have fun to feel lighter, calmer. It's bad for us to get angry, you know? I mean, you know when you're happy?"
She nods. "Inside here." He points to her chest. "It feels good, doesn't it? The feeling."
Her gaze grows even more thoughtful. She seems to be absorbing what he said and understanding his question. Shyly, she nods. "Yes."
"If we're angry, sad, we can't feel that good thing inside us, and it's bad. We always need to feel that good thing. That's why when I'm like this, I do things like... Hmm, I like to draw for fun, listen to music for fun, talk to Lixie for relief, things like this” he smiles to the omega “You should try something similar, what do you think?"
Her eyes go from Hyunjin to Felix and back again. She thinks for a moment, then nods. "Okay."
"Let’s start talking about what is upsetting you? You can tell to me and uncle Lix, we’re not gonna tell anyone, I promise"
This time, for a few moments, her gaze darts back and forth between Hyunjin and the doll. She looks more than scared and angry, she looks hurt. Really hurt. "One of the boys told the others not to play with me because his father told him not to come near me because my family is weird."
Felix's eyes widens. Unfortunately, he knows too well what the girl went through.
It's not common knowledge who is and isn't part of the mafia, but rich kids can be the children of businessmen, politicians and police officers who often know a lot and, well, can make strange comments to their children, who repeat it. Felix went through this more than once or twice as a child, and he understands Minji.
The problem isn't just being isolated, the most sad thing is hearing things about your family when you're a child. Hearing things about a good, loving family that's amazing in your eyes, but terrible on the others. It's confusing and painful, and knowing how outspoken Minji is, it's understandable why she got into trouble.
He doesn't know whether to speak, he wants to tell her that it's bullshit, that the children are wrong, that other people's opinions can't affect her so much because she knows in her daily life that things aren't like that, but he doesn't even know how. Felix hesitates.
"Nonsense. This is a poor opinion, what he said it’s not true at all." Hyunjin says without thinking twice. The girl looks at him intrigued. "Come on, do you think I'm weird?"
She shakes her head. “No, I don’t”
The alpha holds out the doll with combed hair to her. "Okay, what do you think of me then?" he continues, full of himself knowing her answer.
The child looks shy. "You look like a prince."
"And would a prince like something weird?"
She looks at him and then shakes her head. "No. Princes like pretty things."
"Exactly. If they were weird, I wouldn't be here with you. This person and his family don't even know your family, they have no idea how nice and kind they are, so they say these stupid things to get attention and stuff like that. It's a silly thing to do, and an adult needs to talk to them to make them stop." His speech is calm and affectionate, yet simple and accurate, making it easy for Minji to understand.
And the girl, after listening to Hyunjin’s words, looks thoughtful while also seeming to accept Hyunjin's words. In the end, she gives a shy smile of understanding.
"But next time you can't fight, okay?" he continues. "I know what he said is a lie and hurts. I understand why you feel like fighting with a liar, but you have to resolve it in other ways. So next time you go to your teacher and tell her what's going on, okay?"
Embarrassed, she looks at the floor. "Okay," she says quietly.
The blonde watches as the two talk. Hyunjin really has a way with his nephews and he finds it adorable. Without realizing it, a big smile spreads across his lips and his heart warms at the tenderness of the scene.
Another thing he feels is that something inside him, that he can't explain what is, makes him feel the urge to pull out his uterus and scratch it until he feels relief. He knows the sensation isn't physical, but it feels so real, so palpable. It's something... Weird, but good.
Without realizing it, he brings one of his hands to his belly and caresses it.
For a few seconds, he has strange thoughts about wishing his pills hadn't worked that day and that everything Hyunjin had put in him moments before had actually worked. He feels like the urge for waking up and discovering he's impregnated. It's not rational or perceptible at all, the sensation just starts to run inside him and the thoughts float unconsciously in his mind.
Thankfully, the alpha's voice pulls him from his unusual thoughts. "Lixie," Hyunjin calls again.
He startles, looking at Hyunjin. "What?"
"You're blushing..." he says and laughs.
The blonde rolls his eyes. "Oh god, be quiet." He throws a stuffed animal at the alpha.
"Okay, okay. It's just that if you want to take a bath and eat something, I'll keep her for a while, then we'll change."
Bath and food, Felix really needs this urgently. "Are you sure?"
"Sure, go ahead. Minji and I will talk and play some more in the meantime."
"Okay, I'll be quick."
After leaving the room, the omega remembers that Minji might want to eat too, so he turns around to give Hyunjin the idea. However, when he gets there, he overhears an interesting conversation.
"So you think Uncle Felix is pretty?" the little girl's voice says. The alpha's laugh is audible. "Yes, I think so. The prettiest, he looks like a pretty angel."
"He does. So you like him? Because you're a prince and he's pretty."
Seconds of silence fill the room. Felix awaits the answer with a silly anticipation, with his heart racing like that of a teenager accidentally hearing that his crush might like him – even though all of this is coming from conversation between his alpha and a child who's certain he's a prince for some reason. "Yes, let's say so."
"It's good, because he looks like a princess and you look like a prince. You two have to be prince and princess together," she seems very firm in her reasoning.
Leaning against the wall, Felix smiles to himself, certain he's blushing at that. It seems so silly, but for some reason that conversation made butterflies dance in his stomach. He loves the idea that even a child can see they have to be together.
Giving up on going into the room and showing off his blushing mess, he just smiles once more and heads back to his room. Little Minji doesn't know it, but that night her uncle will sleep with a smile on his face thanks to her innocent words.
…
A lively melody plays and the sound of people talking and laughing fills the colored bar, illuminated by bright lights. Through the windows, a full moon can be seen in a starry sky. It's a perfect moment for young people to drink, laugh, kiss and have their fun.
Or at least it should be, because fun is the complete opposite of what Felix is having at the moment.
Sitting next to Jisung in a chair on a large solid wood table that tries to give the place a bohemian look, glowing with his flawless shiny makeup and drawing attention with his blonde hair, he sips his really sweet blue drink while pretending to care about what the half-drunk alpha next to him is saying.
And he really doesn't care about anything the random alpha is saying, he’s not even listening and doesn't even want to pretend, because his mind is in another place, because he's more concerned with trying to stop staring at an annoying scene that boils his blood.
Directly in front of him sits Hyunjin, hot and dressed all in red and black, with a beer in hand and chatting with two of Jeongin's omega friends. He's not doing anything wrong, it's clear he's just making polite conversation and smiling when necessary, but Felix knows the omegas have a different agenda. He can tell by their looks and facial expressions that they want Felix's alpha.
Hyunjin is handsome; Felix knows, Hyunjin himself knows. People around him act like idiots trying to get his attention, the omegas get brave, the other alphas are a mix of admiration and envy. It's a very common occurrence, and it deeply annoys the blond omega.
Yes, he always tries to remain calm and not appear like a jealous idiot. Yes, he always trusts Hyunjin. Yes, he knows it's his crazy, possessive mind and his angora's instincts, but he feels it and it drives him crazy. And tonight, something seems to be worse.
He doesn't know if it's the drinks he's had, he doesn't know if it's the fact that the omegas are small and cute, and that seems like something his alpha would like, he doesn't know if it's because he's been feeling suffocated for days by the obligation of their relationship being hidden and this is bothering him. He really doesn't know, but he's freaking out.
The problem is that even if his instincts tell him to scream, he can't do anything. If he just lets his will guide him, he'll get up from that yellow chair and show everyone that Hyunjin is his alpha. He would make some sassy comment to the omegas, kiss the alpha and feel the taste of beer in his mouth, release his scent and see him melting like a fool in the middle of that crowded bar. But he can't. He fucking can’t.
He can't, because Jeongin is with them, and they're both still hiding everything that's been going on from the young omega.
Yes, another person Felix and Hyunjin continue to hide their relationship from. Yes, another reason they have to limit how they act and interact. It's terrible for the blonde, even though they've agreed that placing the burden of the lie on Jeongin would be unfair.
Felix and Hyunjin have a soft spot for the young omega. They want to take care of him, protect him, make his world easier and keep him out of trouble, so they just keep hiding the truth from him even though they both hate lying to him.
He glances to the side and sees Jeongin and Changbin talking to a beta, both of them competing for his attention or something – Felix never quite understands their strange dynamic and this moment is showing how they are. There's no sign of the younger omega returning to his seat any time soon and pulling his friends away from Hyunjin.
So he just swallows the sweet liquid in his glass and tries to control himself as the irritating voice continues to drift into his ear, even though it doesn't make any sense.
And honestly, he didn't even want to go out that day. Of course, he likes parties, bars, clubs, when he was in Paris, his life was really... pretty fun, but he’s feeling off and honestly, he really prefers to spend his night sneaking into the alpha's room to at least get some cuddles.
However, it turns out that Jeongin is craving attention. According to the ginger omega, Hyunjin simply dumped him. Before, they were together all the time, partying and finding new places to go, getting drunk and whatever. Now, the only thing the alpha does is find excuses to stay home.
He says the same about Felix. He couldn't wait for the blonde to come back so they could spend time together, to go out and have fun the way he seemed to have in Paris. But when Felix returned, he simply didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to play video games all the time and traded going out for cat videos, so he felt abandoned and alone.
And he's not wrong.
Without realizing, Hyunjin and Felix spend all their free time trying to hide and be together, trying to find excuses to stay home until it’s safe to escape to each other's rooms and stay together. Unintentionally, they actually ended up neglecting the young omega, which is why they decided to accept his invitation to go to the new bar his college friends wanted to go to.
The blonde was relieved when Changbin and Jisung said they would go too, but the problem is, it was no use, because as soon as they arrived, his little brother's friends started gravitating towards his alpha.
And until now they’re there, smiling, making conversation, insisting even though it is clear that Hyunjin is not even enjoying talking to them that much, even though it is clear that the only thing the alpha is exuding is politeness.
He once again fakes a laugh, feigning interest in the alpha's uninteresting chatter next to him, and tries to look away from Hyunjin. Jisung, who's chatting with one of Jeongin's classmates about some famous producer, places his hand on his thigh in support. Felix sighs. I hate this so much, I don't know how much longer I can hold on , he thinks as the voice continues to enter his ears and irritate him even more.
Then, a few minutes later, his patience snaps.
Everything seems to happen at once. The nice and cool indie pop music that starts playing seems overstimulating. The voices seem to get louder, people seem to be talking even more and the sounds are mixing together. The worst part is that when he glances quickly at the dark-haired alpha, one of the omegas is moving even closer to him, almost whispering in his ear, placing a hand on his chest.
When the heat of anger rises through his body, before he can raise his gaze from the omega's hand to Hyunjin's face to see his alpha's reaction, the other alpha next to him begins to release his scent in a desperate attempt to attract Felix's attention. It's not much, but he feels it, and he hates it. The sensation is that his nostrils burn and what he inhales goes straight to his stomach, making him want to throw up.
It's too much, everything is too much for him. Then his impulses react. "Can you stop with the damn scent?" he says in a half-loud voice without thinking.
The eyes at the table, including Hyunjin's and the two omegas, turn to him. The strange alpha next to him looks startled. He really just reacted without realizing how intense it would be.
Those are agonizing seconds. He really didn't want to act that way. He wanted to politely walk away from that scent and that alpha. He didn't want those shocked, judgmental looks on him. Everything feels fucked.
He stands up. "I... I'm sorry," he says in a weak tone and heads in a hurry toward the bar exit.
The walk is shameful and nervous as the others watch him. When he leaves, he heads towards the parking lot to try to get some air and calm down. So he stops near a white big car, a little bit hidden, feeling a lump in his throat as his trembling hands groping in the pocket of his expensive pants for his cigarette.
Finding it, he lights up and with the first puff, he feels his tears starting to come. He looks off into the distance, trying to calm himself, trying not to let the tears rise. But, what he doesn't expect is a voice reaching him. "Lixie," Hyunjin's voice says, coming closer to him.
He doesn't turn to see the alpha approaching, so he just stands there. Confused, his eyes seem to water even more, and his lips begin to tremble as he tries to hold back the sobs that are growing louder at the sound of the other's voice.
Hyunjin's hand touches his arm, and soon the alpha is standing in front of him. "Hey baby, come here," he pulls Felix into a hug. The cigarette falls from his tiny fingers. "I'm sorry, okay? I was just talking at first, but..."
"You're an idiot." Felix says without even thinking. He's hurt, angry, embarrassed.
It doesn't even cross Hyunjin's mind to question the omega. "I know."
The crying starts to intensify. It's more than jealousy, it's a cry of frustration.
He hates it, he hates feeling helpless in this kind of situation, because he knows Hyunjin wouldn't do anything, but he also knows it would be so much easier if they didn't have to pretend they were free and single.He wants people to know, he wants no one to even come near the other because they know Hyunjin is his and no one else's.
He wants to be able to walk into scenes like this and intervene regardless of where they are or who they're with – even though he knows he doesn't even need to. "It's just so frustrating, having to watch, pretending everything's okay. I know you'd find a way to get out of there, but you take so long because you're so fucking stupid and too polite. I know that we need to do things this way, but this shitty life of having to hide it is what gets us into this, and I'm so tired. I just wish I didn't have to worry about it, you know?"
The alpha's heart sinks. He understands what Felix is saying, and he knows it hurts. Ideally, he shouldn’t have to deal with that kind of situation. "Lix, baby, we just need to do this for a little while longer, don't think about it too much. I know it hurts-"
He leaves his alpha embrace "Do you know? Because if you knew, you wouldn't be asking me to wait again. This is so unfair, it's horrible, it's suffocating and… I’m sorry, Hyunjin, but I don't know how much longer I can take it."
And that's when Hyunjin's heart nearly stops. He knows it could be the emotion of the moment, that Felix is just feeling overwhelmed, but just thinking about the possibility that it's true that he really can't take it anymore makes the alpha almost faint.
His mouth goes dry and his breathing becomes labored. "Hey, Lix, calm down," he says quickly, almost desperately.
"Everything is such a shit, Hyunjin. I just wanted to be happy, I just wanted us to be able to live this, but damn, it feels like there's no way out. We can’t even go out without this kind of mess happening, without me getting hurt" His words are slurred and he's crying. "How long will I have to keep feeling so limited? Why do we keep insisting on this if we can't find a solution?"
And it feels like someone took a hammer and started hitting the alpha's head and a pair of scissors and started stabbing his heart. "Lix, baby..." He tries to hug Felix again, who pulls his arm away.
"No. Stop. I don't want you to hug me..." The hurt in his voice is clear. “I… I just need you to leave me alone and to go home”
It's suffocating. The night air temperature seems to drop suddenly and the atmosphere denser. Every breath Hyunjin takes is painful, his lungs feel strange, freezing. His blood doesn't seem to run hot to warm his body, yet his hands start to sweat, he starts to sweat.
The view seems to grow darker in his eyes, but not because the sky is darkening, but because the moon and stars seem to have stopped shining, leaving everything gloomy, dark, almost terrifying. It feels like he’s living a real nightmare.
At the same time, his alpha seems sad and furious, feeling unacceptable about the fact that his omega won't let him hug him and take his pain away because of his own fault, because he can't do what his omega wants.
The only thing he can feel it’s that he can't leave things like this.
As scary as everything seems after those words, he has to give everything he has to not lose the other. He has to give everything he has to make Felix's pain stop. The pain and sadness don't seem to fit in that figure in front of him, so he needs to make the right feelings radiate in the other again. He needs to calm Felix, he needs to stop his pain and not let the blonde leave him, but he doesn't know what to do.
Why is everything so difficult? What should I do? He wonders as a part of him begins to nudge him, telling him that the only solution is to risk everything right now. However, the other part of him holds him back, and the mix of feelings makes him dizzy, and the only thing he can be sure it’s that what he's feeling is despair.
Then, without him realizing, tears begin to stream from his eyes, and each one seems to drain a bit of his strength. With each tear, a part of his body seems to get weaker, a thought of his mind seems to stop flowing.
And as Felix turns and starts walking away, Hyunjin falls weakly to his knees.
The sound of his knees colliding with the asphalt makes the omega turn around in alarm and notices the dark-haired man staring at him, on his knees, tears streaming down his beautiful face frozen with fear.
Felix has never seen an expression of fear like that, never seen someone's desperation so clear. Never in his life did he think an alpha would react this way to the slightest chance of losing him. Because of it, it doesn't take much for him to regret what he said, even though deep down he knows nothing will take him away from Hyunjin, not even in that kind of situation.
"Hyunjinnie..." he says almost in a whisper and quickly returns to the other.
When the blonde reaches the kneeling alpha, he is surprised by the other's hands holding his legs and pressing his tear-stained face against him, staining his blue jeans. "Please, don't do this. I'm an idiot, I don't know what to do, but... Please. Lix, I don't want to be without you." he sobs.
The omega's mind struggles to find a reaction. Hyunjin seems so sincere, so vulnerable. He never thought he'd see an alpha in this situation, begging, showing all his weakness, not even trying to hide it.
At the same time his heart feels happy. He can't help but be happy with the fact that someone who can hide everything so well, is always so genuine with him, opens up so much to him, shows all his emotions without thinking twice. Hyunjin is so sweet and emotional.
That’s my alpha , he thinks and smiles weakly, because in the end, that's why he fell in love with the romantic, sensitive, sentimental Hyunjin and of course, the Hyunjin he loves would have no problem being in that situation, kneeling, crying desperately to not to be abandoned.
Gently, he lowers himself until he's closer to the man kneeling before him. "Hyunjinnie," he places a hand on his tear-stained face, "calm down, it's okay."
"I'd rather die than be without you, but I don't want to die just to not be without you... I want to, like, run away, but I don't want to leave my sister. I want to tell the truth, and I'm ready for any punishment, but I'm afraid my punishment will be something like being away from you, so... I... I don't know," he says, tearful “I don’t know what to do, Lix, and this kills me too. I just want to be with you, I swear”.
Felix kisses the alpha on the forehead. "I understand, I understand you, my alpha. I just... I'm sorry I got angry because our situation sometimes it’s too much to deal with, and the things tonight really got me. I got jealous and felt cornered, but I'm here, and I'll stay with you, okay? No matter how hard it is, no matter how tired I get of the situation, it doesn't matter. I'll stay with you," he says sweetly. “I'm sorry I let those things out when I was nervous, but in the end I'll never leave you, never, I swear”
His eyes stare into Hyunjin's with a loving, understanding gaze. His hand runs up his hair, smoothing it, then goes down to his neck and there, he pulls his alpha slightly closer and places his soft lips on his, giving him a lovely, warm kiss.
It's as if a sedative has been injected into the alpha's bloodstream because he instantly relaxes at the feel of those pretty heart-shapped lips on his. He reciprocates, happy and satisfied, understanding and grateful. As the kiss ends, they both smile.
The blonde stands up, gently holding Hyunjin's hands, helping him to his feet as well. "Shall we go home?" he asks with a smile.
"Of course, I'll text Jisung to come up with something for the others," Hyunjin replies, wiping away his tears.
That night, the two don't even have sex. They just lie in the blonde's room, cuddled together in Felix’s pink sheets as if their lives depended on being held in each other's arms. They can't even sleep, wanting to feel each other's warmth and afraid it will end if they sleep.
The freckled omega begins to think about that night, how much he needs to balance his insecurities and desires with their reality, while also feeling happy that Hyunjin feels so much for him, even if in a chaotic way.
They live too much and in the same intention they love too much. It's too much for any heart, too many feelings to handle within such a small space of their hidden relationship. Those who feel what they feel want to let it all out and shout it to the world, which is why everything seems so suffocating to him.
"When are you going to take me to meet your sister?" the blonde asks as he strokes Hyunjin's long dark hair while they keep hugging and are watching a random movie in a low volume just to keep cuddling. The alpha is taken aback by the question.
He and Felix have talked a lot about Yeji, but they've never officially talked about the omega meeting his family officially. Besides, the question seems to be... sudden, especially after that chaotic night. "Whenever you want, of course! But did this desire come out of nowhere?"
"I know it was really out of nowhere, but I don't know, it just came to me," he answers something that isn't a lie, but has much more behind it.
The problem is that Felix knows that their little paradise is starting to be poked here and there by some turbulent feelings like the ones from hours before. They love each other and he knows it, but it seems that the longer they exist together as a secret, the more fragile they will be.
He needs people to know that they belong to each other. It's an urgency in his heart, even though he rationally knows it's impossible, so the only thing he thinks he can do it’s to look for these little ways for them to assert themselves as a couple. At least one more person knowing and seeing them together seems like something that would help Felix's desire.
He's a little apprehensive about trying to explain, but his thoughts are interrupted by Hyunjin. "If you want, let's arrange it." The alpha smiles. "I'd love for you two to meet; you're the most important people in the world to me."
And Felix’s heart rejoices at the answer.
Days later, he meets at an expensive cozy coffee shop with Yeji and Hyunjin for a pleasant afternoon.
The omega drinks his macchiato while listening to the world's most ridiculous stories about his alpha and laughing alongside the other omega. Hyunjin, even though embarrassed, watches them the entire time with the most affectionate gaze in the world.
And it's good, it's really good. Maybe in the end, it was truly necessary. A quiet time, with someone else, sharing feelings and not letting their bond fray. A peaceful time with another person from whom they don’t need to hide, being just a regular young couple of lovers.
Something renews itself within them, and they feel ready to move forward. Of course they are still thinking about how to solve their complicated situation, but learning to take breaks that help them move forward.
…
The smell of spices fills the kitchen, the sound of meat sautéing is loud and the smoke wafts slightly as Seungmin busily cooks, watched by a calm Jeongin, simply eating a piece of strawberry cake next to little Jooyeon, who's playing with a toy in the highchair.
It's almost lunchtime, and Seungmin has to make his children's food after being late that morning. To be honest, he was late for a good reason, he was late because he had to be. His week was heavy and destroyed him, so Chan noticed his tiredness and decided to take the couple's oldest daughter for a walk to let the omega rest. Since Jooyeon is a calm baby, he simply fell asleep next to his father.
Combining his need for rest with the calm of the morning, he ended up late to the other chores. He knows that at any moment Minji will arrive, and Jooyeon will soon start fussing about eating.
Seungmin loves having children, opposite to what many imagined before. But having children in a day with only twenty-four hours is a challenge, even though he has a husband who takes care of everything alongside him, sometimes even more.
"Dad, look what papa gave me," Minji says, entering the kitchen as Chan walks behind her, shaking her black hair and handing a doll to Seungmin.
The omega turns and looks at the object in the child's small hands and frowns.
The doll is not ordinary and cute, the way a child's toy should be. Her head is big, really big, her eyes are even bigger, she is pale and has big eyelashes, freckles and a lot of blush. At least he can see that the details are impeccable, both in her hair and her clothes.
It’s just that the doll is definitely not a toy, but something that would be in some spinster aunt's collection. "Jesus Christ, Minjinnie, why is she so ugly?" he blurts out without thinking.
The child's gaze contains a singular indignation "She's not ugly, she's beautiful and elegant. She looks like a pretty princess" the little girl snaps, giving her father a superior and provocative look. "And she's prettier than Yeonie," she turns her gaze to the baby who smiles at Chan who plays with him absentmindedly. It's like she’s a little wolf attacking her own brother to defend her litter.
"Hey! You can't call your brother ugly," Seungmin scolds her.
Looking at him and then back to Jeongin, she simply replies, "Uncle Ayen says you're ugly."
"She's totally right. You are ugly," the younger omega laughs as he puts a piece of cake in his mouth.
Seungmin sighs. Minji's personality is getting stronger and stronger every day. According to Chan, she's becoming more and more like the omega, which Seungmin says it’s bullshit. For him, her problem is living with a bunch of dysfunctional adults with peculiar personalities.
"So if he can call you ugly, I can call Yeonie ugly too," she shrugs. The fact that she now forms concise sentences and engages in conversations is not making his life easier.
That's a problem , the omega thinks as he sees that she's starting to understand the concept of justification in the worst possible way. "No, you can't," he says matter-of-factly, "your uncle isn't the best role model in the world, you have to be a good big sister. Look, I was joking when I said your doll is ugly, she's beautiful and… Has a nice dress," he smiles at the child. "Later we'll find a nice place for her to rest in your room when you're not playing with her, okay? Then she can be exposed and everyone can admire her beauty."
The concept of raising a child. Seungmin thinks it's easier to plan the invasion of a cocaine cartel in the family's enemies' most hostile area than to raise a little person, especially when he wants to raise a good and responsible little person.
He always has to stay two steps ahead so as not to make mistakes like the one he made now and he always has to be ready to correct his mistakes before she absorbs them. He always has to be aware of the worst parts of his own personality and contain them so that they don't influence his daughter. It's an insane and heavy job, especially for him who has never minced his words.
The experience has taught him a lot. To be honest, he sometimes thinks he's taught him too much, especially because Minji seems to be getting smarter for Seungmin's own good. He sighs and watches her reaction.
"I want to put her on my bed, I want to sleep close to her," she says.
"Perfect, wherever you want. But first, apologize to your brother for saying he's ugly and apologize sincerely."
The little girl sighs. "Okay," she walks over to the little boy and climbs onto the chair next to him and kisses his hairless head. "I'm sorry, Yeonie,I don't think you're ugly. You're cute." The baby smiles and waves his arms excitedly at his sister's affection.
"That’s my princess, always correct and polite" Chan pets the girl's head.
Jeongin watches the scene and smiles while Seungmin breathes a sigh of relief. "Perfect," Seungmin says, satisfied, "now go to the living room and play with your Uncle Felix and Uncle Hyunjin. Daddies have to finish cooking your lunch and those two have nothing else to do with their lives."
"Okay!" She says without complaining and gets down from the chair. Shaking her black hair and holding her doll, she walks towards the living room.
After the girl leaves, Jeongin lets out a laugh, "She's really speaking so well. It's scary."
The older omega between the two rolls his eyes. "She's speaking too well, more than she should, and I call that a nightmare," he sighs, "that said, be careful what you say around her now... Please," he politely asks his brother.
The younger one watches his brother. Seungmin has always been polite, but he's always been imposing. He's always done what he wants. Him asking for help so sincerely for the sake of his daughter's education makes Jeongin smile. It seems like someone is learning a few things, uhhh , he thinks. "Sure, I promise I'll take care."
The little girl walks into the living room, going to do what her father told her: to play with her uncles. She likes to play with Felix and Hyunjin, although sometimes she finds them a little... Silly. In her opinion, Jooyeon is the one who gets along best with them, but anyway she loves them both, especially Hyunjin.
The two are sitting together on the couch watching videos on the blonde's tablet while holding themselves back from exchanging caresses while other people are in the house with them – even though the alpha's hands sometimes go to Felix's exposed thighs and slide his hand gently just to enjoy him a bit.
The omega smiles when the other is surprised by something that happens in the video they are watching when their attention is caught by a childish voice approaching them. "Dad told me to play with you so he can make food" her round eyes stare at the two.
"Minjinnie!" Felix exclaims and smiles at the child. "Sure, we'll play with you."
The alpha nods, "Come on out here with us." Hyunjin points to a spot between the two of them.
She quickly climbs onto the couch and sits between the two with her new doll on her lap. She strokes the doll's blonde hair and smiles. She really finds long hair and huge eyes beautiful.
"And who’s this princess in your hands?" Hyunjin asks when he sees the girl smiling at the doll.
"It's a gift my papa gave me when we went to the mall today. She's beautiful, isn't she?"
The alpha approaches to show interest in the doll and make Minji happy. "Sure, she looks like a princess with that blonde hair," he says, even though the doll's eyes and pale skin are a little... peculiar.
Felix particularly finds the doll interesting, something that would be beautiful in a collection, but that wouldn't usually be pleasant for a child.
"Yes! She does" the little girl says and then looks at her blond uncle "She looks like Uncle Lix, look at her eyes and her hair" she points to the round eyes of the omega who almost chokes on the comment.
Hyunjin laughs. "You're absolutely right" he teases "she even has freckles"
"Yes, she looks like his daughter," Minji says.
The dark-haired man looks at Felix from the corner of his eye and smiles "Yes, they really do look like"
Felix doesn't know whether to take it as a compliment or not, but he's not the one who's going to disagree with his niece. "Well, she has a great sense of style just like mine... I think"
"I had an idea, she and I are going to be the daughters, Uncle Lix will be the mommy and Uncle Hyune will be the daddy"
The two look at each other a little embarrassed.
It's an innocent child's idea, but considering how many times the two have said things about... puppies at the height of their excitement, it all ends up being a bit ironic. "Okay..." Hyunjin says "Let's play like... A family… Like Lix and I having… Children…"
And then the family roleplay in the most torturously domestic way begins. The little girl makes the two sit on the floor with her and begins to guide them in situations that she considers family-related, and the fact that Chan is the example of a husband and father in the child's mind doesn't make it any easier for Hyunjin.
According to the little girl, he has to hold Felix's hand at all times, stroke his hair, tell him how beautiful he is, and cook for him in the toy kitchen that she sent the alpha to get from her room.
When the fake food is ready, she makes Hyunjin feed Felix, herself, and the doll, and he almost dies of a heart attack when the blonde pretend to eat it and and say that’s delicious and even said that he is the best alpha in the world for having done something so good for him and his daughters. The omega has a lot of fun seeing the other's face turn intensely red.
However, Hyunjin gets his revenge when the little girl says that Felix has to put them both to sleep and when they fall asleep Hyunjin has to congratulate his omega by saying that he is 'a good omega'. When these words left the dark-haired man’s red lips, Felix's heart almost stops and his ears burns.
“Now before you go to work you have to kiss Uncle Felix on the hand” she explains to Hyunjin as they continue their torturous game “and Uncle Felix you have to kiss him on the cheek so he can go to work happy”
The two stare at each other in silence, Minji doesn’t know the dangerous place she is taking them both to. “Okay…” Hyunjin says with fear and then stretches out his hand asking for Felix’s. “Felix…”
“Love, you have to call him love, I already told you” she rolls her eyes impatiently because they don’t follow what she says.
The alpha sighs. “Love… Okay. Love, I’m going to work” he brings Felix’s small hand to his lips and gives it a soft kiss and ends up enjoying the soft feeling of the omega’s hands while hating Chan for being a good example of affection for the girl.
When he looks at the omega he smiles shyly and his cheeks are adorably red. "Okay, honey, I'll see you later then..." he kneels down and leans in shyly, approaching the dark haired man’s face and then gives him a light kiss on the cheek.
In the last few months, the two of them have done a lot of dirty things, really dirty and without any shame, without blushing like they are right now. Who would have thought that a simple, completely innocent kiss had the power to leave them both almost exploding, with their faces red and their hearts racing. Hyunjin even feels like he's starting to sweat.
But, their life is a joke and the two of them don't even have time to recover. "Uhhh, what is this?" Kibum's voice interrupts the moment and when they see the older omega standing there next to his husband.
The two of them hurry to separate quickly and sit down. Their hearts are racing with fright and fear. Their heads start to race and they can't think of how to get around the situation, even though none of it was their idea.
"Grandpas!" the girl says excitedly and gets up running to hug Minho's leg.
He bends down and hugs his granddaughter affectionately, even though he's still confused by the scene "my princess!"
"Look" she separates and runs to get the new doll and takes it to her grandparents "papa bought it for me, she's beautiful, right? Since she looks like Uncle Felix I said that she and I are the daughters and they're both the daddies"
Kibum looks around at everyone present at the moment while Minho observes the doll. "She really looks like Yongbok. They have those… unique eyes?” the alpha laughs.
"Daddy!" the blonde says indignantly.
"I mean... They're adorable" he hurries to say.
Kibum sighs with relief after understanding the situation. "Ah, I see, so you're playing family?" he makes sure to state so that there are no misunderstandings.
"Yep!" the child responds excitedly.
The younger alpha feels as if a weight is being lifted off his shoulders. Thankfully, even without knowing the dangers of the situation, Minji was quick to explain that it was all a game for fun and saved the couple from saying something stupid or showing nervousness trying to explain themselves.
"Minjinnie, your food is ready. You can leave those two idiots alone now... I mean, you can stop playing with your uncles now," Seungmin's voice comes closer. "Oh, dads, you're here."
And thank God, just like this, soon everyone there disperses.
Felix goes to the kitchen with Seungmin, his parents go to the bedroom to put away their purchases, and Hyunjin offers to take the child's toys to the bedroom. Everything is resolved at that moment without any further questions.
Later, the omega calls Hyunjin to his room to play games. The two sit side by side facing the TV, their shoulders touching, Felix's leg slightly draped over the other's, and there's something in that atmosphere begging for things to be said.
The thing is, the blond omega noticed that every time the couple ends up interacting with the children, wishes and doubts come to his mind. He’s shaken by seeing his alpha so affectionate with the kids and always remembers the conversation they had before they truly began their relationship, about Hyunjin's dream. "You know, it's really adorable how much the kids like you," he smiles, not taking his eyes off the television.
The taller one blushes at the compliment. "I try my best."
"They seem to like your best. I always thought I was good with kids because we have fun together, but there's something... different about you." His thoughtful features intrigue the other.
Hyunjin looks at him. He knows there's more to what Felix is saying, it just seems like an excuse for a bigger topic, "What's going on in that head of yours?"
The game pauses as Felix puts the controller down and sighs. "It's just... I'd never thought about it before, but now seeing you, being with you, I wonder if I'd be enough to have a baby. I mean, I feel like a mess, almost a teenager," he laughs. "What if I can't do it? What if I can't make your dream come true?"
A knowing smile appears on Hyunjin's lips. He turns to the omega and tucks a strand of blond hair behind his ear. "Lix, you're great. You understand and respect their moods, their emotions, you're careful, you care, and that's enough. The rest is easy to learn. Besides, you only need to have a child if you feel ready and if you want one. You don't have to worry about it just because I want one. I want to live with you regardless, you don't have to force yourself."
And this is Hyunjin , the blonde thinks and smiles. It’s no secret that the alpha is always willing to put Felix's comfort first of all, respect his limits and wills and that is something the omega loves. However, Felix’s wishes have changed a lot since he met the alpha. "I know, of course I know, but Jinnie, what if I started to want it too?" He says shyly.
The dark-haired man’s eyes widen, and then he smiles, genuinely happy. "So I want to experience this with you, when things are right and you feel ready, of course. I mean," he has to control himself from showing his happiness in the most pathetic way possible, "these days I think I only want to realize this dream if it's with you, so if you really want me to, I'll be the happiest alpha in the world building a family with you."
And this means everything to Hyunjin. The alpha has always loved his family, always loved the idea of family, even though everything in his life has been chaotic. He loved his mother and how loving she was to him and his sister, he loved his grandmother for always trying to care for the twins more than she could, and he loves his sister, who remains such an important part of his life.
His family was never traditional, and their life was never simple. Losses were constant, but the feeling that existed between them was always more than enough to make him want to go further and build his own. Having Felix next to him wanting the same is as if the universe had been aligned to give him the greatest gift of all.
Hyunjin can't hide a silly smile, full of happiness. He can't help but look like a child who just received the best Christmas present in the world, a thirsty man in the scorching desert who received a glass of ice-cold water, a dog who, after days, was taken for a walk in a large, sunny park.
Felix loves how beautifully the joy is etched on his sculpted face. "So, my alpha. One day, we'll do this. I'll be the happiest omega in the world having a family with you."
The blonde leans in and seals Hyunjin's lips with a kiss, feeling his happiness through his body.
So, now they have a plan together, probably their first. Not quite a promise, but a goal that came naturally to them, and one they can't wait to start planning and making a reality after they've sorted out the most pressing things in their lives.
In any case, thinking about a goal, having a shared desire, is an incredible feeling that fills their hearts with happiness.
…
The air in Hyunjin's room is filled with tension. He’s being stared at by a furious Felix in the middle of an argument. "I won't accept this. This is the most stupid thing you've said to me since that day you pretended you didn't want me," the blond omega says with his arms crossed in front of his chest while wearing only Hyunjin's long and loose shirt.
The alpha sighs. He knows Felix is right in thinking he's the biggest idiot in the world, but he's just being... Careful. The two are arguing because of Hyunjin's approaching rut and he just told the blonde that they can't be together and Felix really disagrees.
The question is: is he doing this out of fear of Minho? Definitely not, since Lino's evil mind knows his rut is coming and scheduled a trip for the alpha that same week – his mischievous smile was priceless when he told Hyunjin what he did, all proud of himself.
His fear is how out of control he can be with Felix. His rut is intense, strong and it's hard for him to control himself. This already happens when he doesn't have an omega, imagine if he has an omega and worse, if Felix is the omega. He really doesn't know how he would react, so he prefers to prevent it.
It's not that he doesn't trust his alpha or himself, it's just that what if, for a moment, his instincts take over and he hurts his omega? What if he starts to demand too much of his omega during sex? What if the way he wants to perform his rut is something that displeases the other? He can't accept the idea of ending up being something negative for his omega.
But, the omega in question is completely against the idea. He finds it almost outrageous that his alpha is refusing to let him spend his rut with him and everything gets worse when Felix has been dreaming about it for months.
Deep down, he even ends up feeling like a terrible omega, because his instincts tell him he's not being enough for his alpha to want him during the rut. The feeling is terrible, it's like he's a failure as an omega, and it messes with his emotions even though the rational part of him understands Hyunjin's stupid motives.
Still, Hyunjin needs to argue and get it into his head that it's for his own good. "Baby, you have no idea how much I want it, but I don't want to hurt you. I don't know how I'm going to react if I..."
The blond omega grunts annoyed "You're so stupid. I don't even want to discuss this with you anymore. It's cute that you care about me, but what the hell, Jinnie, I'm not made of porcelain and I want to be with you. You know, we shouldn't even be debating this, we're a couple and that's what couples do."
The alpha looks at him with fear. "Lixie, my angel, my baby, my love, my kitten. Please, I'm only thinking about your well-being." he says pouting to see if anything helps.
"No, you're not just thinking about it. You're thinking about yourself, about your fears, not just about me, much less about us. How do you want to be with me if you can't trust us both for this?"
The dark-haired man bites his lower lip thoughtfully upon hearing these words. "Kitten, it's not that. I swear. I just... I don't trust myself."
After rolling his eyes, Felix approaches him. "Jinnie, I get that. I really do, but in the end it's not about me, it's about you being afraid that your alpha will ruin the image you've built about yourself. If it were just about me, you would at least listen to me and take into account what I want, the risks I want to take."
Those words hit Hyunjin's thoughts right on target, because maybe the omega isn't wrong. Of course, in his view, the main thing is not to take risks with Felix, but maybe he's also afraid of discovering something about his alpha that he doesn't want to.
Maybe it's his fear of letting his alpha be completely who he wants at the moment and ending up hating the truth. He needs to think, he needs to understand what his fear is and he needs to weigh everything up to make a decision. "Can we talk about this later? Can I think about it?" he says softly.
The round, dark eyes stare at him for a few moments before the blonde sighs deeply. "Of course, it's your decision. I'm just telling you not to be unfair to what we both want and need because of fear. I like you like this and I'm going to keep liking you." The blonde comes closer and places each of his legs next to Hyunjin on the bed and puts his arms behind his neck.
The alpha looks at him and laughs shyly. "You see me in such a good light, I almost can't believe it."
Smiling, Felix gets even closer to him and starts to give him light kisses on the face, ending with a few pecks on the mouth. "I'm telling the truth. If I trust you, I trust you completely, including your instincts. You've never even come close to doing anything bad to me since we've been together. You've always respected me, cared for me, and so has your alpha. I know every alpha is different during the rut, I know that well, but we can't change that, and I'm willing to find out what you're like in those moments and stay with you. Okay?" He gives him a few more affectionate kisses and the other smiles awkwardly.
"I know, baby. Sorry for being so paranoid, I just don't want to hurt you or scare you. But here's what we're going to do: let's wait until my rut gets closer so I can see how I feel, okay?"
"Right. Let's do it like this. But at least try to get it through your silly head that I'm very willing, okay?"
And it was a great plan, if Hyunjin's alpha hadn't conspired against him.
There were four days left until his heat and yes, it's normal for him to start feeling one or two symptoms. However, he’s feeling strange. Really strange.
It's Sunday night and he's in Felix's room playing with him. To be more precise, the blonde is playing sitting on Hyunjin's lap, who hugs him around the waist while his face is nestled in the smaller man's neck. He inhales his scent deeply.
It seems that he wants to sink deeper and deeper into the omega's neck. It seems that he needs to feel his scent even more, that this desire is eating him. Without realizing, he starts nuzzling his face against Felix and feels the urge to bite him, to lick him, he feels the urge to do something that he can't even explain.
And then, the sawing noises begin.
Once again, he doesn't even realize what he's doing, he's just trying to satisfy the urge of god knows what he’s feeling.
It seems like the world around him has stopped mattering and the only thing that matters now is the omega in his arms. His instincts are all focused on feeling him as deeply as possible. And it feels good; that smell, that skin, that closeness are delicious. It's like he's an animal that's been without his owner for weeks and is finally close to him again.
He comes out of his trance when he feels the omega's body shaking because he's giggling and only then does he realize what he's doing and starts to get confused with his actions and feelings. Am I in my pre-rut? It’s beginning? No, it can be, this should be in one or two days , he thinks scared "Shit" he freezes.
But he has no time to keep thinking because letting go of the video game control, the omega turns to him and starts to pet his hair and Hyunjin is unable to control himself. He gives in to the touch rubbing himself on Felix’s hands and the sounds start again. "You’re really a giant cat, aren’t you? God, you're so cute. You're so clingy"
His face starts to burn, he knows he's red. "Fuck, sorry, I didn't even notice" he moves away a little.
What he gets in response is a huge smile from Felix who leans over him and makes him lie on the floor. The omega climbs on top of him and starts giving him loving kisses all over his face, his neck and then rubbing himself against him too. "You don't have to apologize, it's cute, my alpha is so needy"
And he reacts like a pet happy to have his owner's attention. Even though he's embarrassed, his body speaks louder, and he can't contain his receptive body language to the blonde's affection. If he could purr, that's probably what he'd be doing, but his silly growls are enough to show how happy he is.
The thing is, Hyunjin is usually very affectionate, he is definitely clingy, but his behavior is usually different. He likes to wrap his arms around Felix until he is completely enveloped and protected, he likes to caress him with his hands, slide his fingers over his soft skin, kiss him warmly. He doesn't hide the fact that if he could, he would spend the whole day hugging the other.
However, this is different. He feels pathetic. A drunk and dizzy alpha who needs to feel his omega in the most cheesy way possible and never let go of him again. And it's not the first time he feels this, it's something really common in his pre-rut, the thing is that he's never had an omega there to do this with.
And Felix seems to be loving it, he has a satisfied smile on his face as he rubs himself against the other and starts to purr. Hyunjin's body automatically corresponds with his own noises and the two stay there, two clingy felines thirsty for contact.
It’s so good, but after some time Hyunjin's body starts to want more , much more and he needs to fight to control himself and tell Felix that they have to stop, because everyone is at home and it’s completely risky. "Kitten..." he says breathlessly "it's better... We... I..."
Before he can understand what the other is trying to say, the blonde feels him getting hard and this makes him connect the dots. "Oh, right. I guess we got carried away, huh?" he says getting off the taller one who moans sadly and frustrated.
With his eyes closed, Hyunjin concentrates on taking deep breaths to calm himself down.
"Do you want me to get some medicine for you?" the blonde asks.
He smiles seeing Felix's worried look. "It's okay, baby, I just think I should go to my room and take a shower. You know?"
Nodding, the omega gives an understanding smile. "Of course, Jinnie."
In his room he starts to think and gets scared because he shouldn't be like this already. These are clearly signs of his pre-rut, but it seems to be soon to have it. Nothing like this should be happening yet and this worries him, because what if it's a sign that this time it will be stronger? This will not only make his pain and lack of control even worse, but it will also be negative for the possibility of Felix and him getting through it together.
He decides to observe himself until he understands what is happening.
That night he had trouble sleeping even with his medication. He’s restless, missing something, his chest feeling like it’s being eaten away, his mouth salivating. An anguish takes over him.
He’s happy because at least he is not feeling any pain yet and his sexual desire is under control. But, when he finally manages to sleep he dreams of his omega. Dreams that he will end up keeping to himself under lock and key.
The next morning he wakes up drenched in sweat, his scent is strong and his body feels hotter than normal. Without understanding, he just takes another dose of his medication and runs for a long, cold shower.
His body and head seem to calm down a bit, but he knows that he still needs to run into his omega's arms to at least be cuddled a little bit. Trying to avoid thinking about it, he goes downstairs to eat something so as not to run the risk of his body getting weak.
In the kitchen he thanks the heavens when he sees Lino ready for work and drinking coffee. "Good morning," he says weakly, "you got ready early today," he comments, since the other alpha is usually eating in his pajamas at this time.
"Good morning! Well, I had to take Minho and Kibum to the airport, so I had to wake up early."
Ah yes, Minho and Kibum's trip, the trip that Lino invented to make it easier for him to spend his rut with Felix. "So they've already gone..."
The older man smiles mischievously. "Yes, now you can attack whenever you want when your rut starts," he says and takes a big sip of his coffee.
Hyunjin remembers his fear, a fear that has worsened since his actions the night before. "I don't know... I don't know if I should. My body feels weird."
Lino looks at him and raises an eyebrow. His look is almost reprimanding, but he is open to understanding the other alpha. "Of course you're weird, it's your rut coming."
"No, it's not just that." He begins to explain. "It seems that my pre-rut came earlier and stronger, last night was hell. Then I wake up feeling so fucked up, it’s just like if my rut will begin in any moment"
The other seems intrigued. "And this has never happened before?"
"Never, my ruts have always been intense, but always regulated and not much different from each other. My pre-ruts starts and continues for almost a full day, so my rut comes for a long shit day and goes away, always matching with my calendar"
Taking a little more of his coffee, the alpha begins to reason. "Probably your alpha is... Anxious to... You know. I mean, you've never spent so much time with an omega that you're so attached to and you two are compatible, like an excellent species which makes your hormones stronger, besides he had his heat and everything."
He hates when the absurd things Lino says aren't so absurd. It really is too much of a coincidence that all this happens when he's with Felix, when he's never had anything like it. Besides, Lino knows about these things so he definitely knows what he's talking about. "I hate it when you seem to make sense."
The other's gaze is mocking. "That's something I'll never go through, because I don't think you'll ever make sense." He says, and before Hyunjin can answer, he continues, "Is Felix taking the right pills?"
He doesn't know much about which pills the blonde takes, but what he does know is that he's always up to go to his appointment with his doctors and is always careful with them, so he assumes that he is. "Yes, he's taking it."
"Great." He takes the last sip of his coffee. "You know, I'm not a doctor, but you know I did all those shit classes to understand hormones and everything, and I'm going to advise you two things, Hyune. The first is to stay home, rest and prepare yourself because it's going to hurt. The second... Breed him. For the love of God, do it or you won't be able to handle it." He says, and then gets up to leave the kitchen, leaving a thoughtful Hyunjin, deciding what he's going to do.
But unfortunately, he doesn't even have time to think.
After eating, he follows one of Lino's advice and decides to spend the day in his room and not long after he starts writhing in pain. The other alpha was right because he has never felt so much pain. It's as if a constant pulsating pain attacks him at specific points, like sharp and painful stitches that make him have spasms. His rut really started.
Unconsciously, he ends up curling up on the bed. His body starts to heat up, his blood seems to run boiling and it seems like his brain is going to corrode from the heat at any moment. Even boiling, his sweat is cold and he feels strange chills.
Of course, symptoms like this have happened before, but never to this intensity. He really wasn't prepared for any of that.
Everything gets worse, when it seems like his own body is showing him the solution to that pain. His mind screams for him to ask Felix for help, his alpha growls with desire. He knows that this is the solution and that if he doesn't go after it he won't stop feeling that way.
Fuck, Felix... At that moment he remembers that the blond omega must not have a clue about what's happening to him, because after saying good morning he couldn't even stop to check his cell phone. Afraid that the blonde is trying to talk to him and he can't see it, he directs the little strength he has to pick up the phone and check his messages.
And in them the omega is worried. He asks how Hyunjin woke up and if he’s stable and if he entered into his pre-rut. Little does he know that Hyunjin already was and now he’s in the most unbearable rut of his life.
Slowly he types, answering Felix, explaining that he ended up feeling feverish, stayed at home resting and will talk to him later after rest. He also said it was no big deal, that he just needed to sleep, but immediately he receives several answers from Felix that he can't even focus to read because his eyes start to get fixed on the blonde's icon.
He clicks to enlarge the small photo and begins to observe the perfectly designed lips, the eyes that always seem to see him asking something, the lovely freckles. He sighs thinking about how beautiful his omega is a growl escape.
The purest desire begins to go through his body. He drops his cell phone and turns sideways, closing his eyes and trying to contain it, but everything goes in the opposite direction. Felix images begin to appear on his head with the dirty possible scenarios and his situation gets worse.
Desire begins to increase, to be more intense, feral. It’s so hard for him to breathe, to think and he just gets really hard inside his pants, painful hard. It's too much, it's like the desire thickens his blood and it was difficult for his heart to pump, so the organ has to pulsate with more intensity and strength to try to pump that heavy blood. Also, this heavy blood seems to run directly to his dick.
He swallows hard and feels his heart throbbing more and more. His body is shivering and his skin is so sensitive, his scent gland pulsates wanting to release his scent, to scent his omega until he is exhaling him for days. He growls louder uncomfortable with all that sensory torture.
And then the only thing that goes through his head is that he needs Felix, he wants Felix and his chest will continue to tighten while he doesn't have him. Everything in him will keep hurting until he's inside his omega.
In a desperate attempt to relieve at least a little so he can think as little as possible, he puts his hand inside his pants and starts to caress his cock while trying to focus on his imagination to give himself pleasure. But, to his surprise, he is interrupted.
A loud knock on his door makes him jump.
"Hyunjinnie, open this door and if you don't open it I'm going to come in anyway" Felix's deep voice says loudly, knocking on the door repeatedly.
"Felix..." the name comes out as a pained whisper. His only point of consciousness tries to alert him to tell the omega to get out of there and he fights with himself to be able to do it.
He painfully stands up and walks to the door going towards the sound of the knocking that seems like it will explode his head. He’s panting and almost drooling from salivating in reaction to knowing that his omega is so close.
"Hyunjinnie, I swear to god if you don't open it I'm going to come in anyways" the blonde's voice enters in his ears and sends shivers down his spine.
He supports himself on the door frame with one of his hands. "Lixie, baby... I'm fine... Just don't come in... I'm going... I'm going to rest" he says with difficulty.
Then a silence reigns.
Felix doesn't answer him and he finds it strange, because the blonde wouldn't leave his door without warning him, also he never agrees with what Hyunjin said without questioning it. It’s suspicious to him. “Lix?” he asks to understand if the omega is there.
And then the silence is interrupted by the sound of the password being put in the lock and the door opening.
The seconds that follow feels like a dream for Hyunjin, a beautiful dream. When Felix enters the room with his worried look, his blond hair loose, his delicate legs exposed while he is wearing only booty shorts and a long t-shirt, it feels like an angel has arrived in Hyunjin's room to save his soul. "Hyunjinnie, what happened?" He asks, but in seconds he understands.
The blonde inhales the scent of the room and his pupils dilate. It's the scent of his alpha pheromones, but enhanced in a way he never imagined experiencing. His eyes widen as he feels the spicy part of the scent make his body tingle. It's stimulating, it's delicious. He’s already turned on.
Without taking his eyes off Hyunjin, he closes the door and licks his lips.
"Lix..." the alpha tries to intervene, he wants to send him away, but he can't.
Seeing Hyunjin, Felix gets so excited because there is something very appealing in all that scene. The omega approaches him and gives him a kiss on the lips that is a mix of affection and desire. Affection, because his heart beats with the idea to take care of his alpha, and desire because everything about that Hyunjin that he’s seeing is driving him crazy.
He runs his hand over the alpha's chest over his sweat-soaked shirt and feels his lungs getting up and down because of his heavy breath. There he also can feel how much heat the man emanates, something that Felix has never felt before. "My poor alpha, you seem to be suffering so much," he says against the other's lips.
After that, he climbs his hands and caresses the other’s hot face, passes gently through his hair, taking it out of his forehead and throwing a little back. He pouts seeing how much the other is sweaty and boiling, thinking how much his alpha must be in pain.
At the same time, Hyunjin's heavy breath and all those hormones make his cock throb, the feeling of knowing that if he gets naked there that alpha will combust makes him salivate, the idea that his body is the only medicine for his beloved, makes his slick start dripping. "But it's okay now, your omega will take care of you." he pecks the red shining lips.
The dark-haired man's breathing almost stops. "Baby... I don't know... It's... It's worse..."
"It's okay, my alpha. I promise. I want this, I don't care, I just feel like I want to take care of you" he says in a really sweet voice before he kisses Hyunjin once more. "I want to make you feel better, my body wants it. I really just want to see my sweet alpha getting better"
Without the strength to resist, he returns the kiss. "But baby... What if I lose control?" he almost whispers.
Felix smiles understandingly. "It's okay, I swear that I’m ready for it. Come on, Hyunjinnie, I have what you need, I’m what you need now. Only I will make you feel good. I know I can do it, so come on, my alpha, breed me and this pain will go away, I promise."
Those words make the taller man tremble, because it's all he wants, all he needs. His weak legs start to give way and when he sees it he is on his knees in front of Felix while shaking, while salivating with desire. He feels like a starving animal.
The other’s words are so warm, he’s so inviting.
The blonde looks so radiant that Hyunjin feels as if a deity came to save him, to illuminate him and take away all that pain. A blessing sent from heaven to him.
Felix runs his hand through his sweaty hair. "Do you want, my alpha, for me to turn all your pain into pleasure? I can take all this pain from you, will you let me?”
Although he feels like a sinful savage, too impure to accept, he just slowly nods as his trembling hands begin to slide down the other's soft legs. He begins to slowly kiss those legs as an attempt to venerate his savior before he delivers what Hyunjin so desperately needs. And doesn’t take much to turn the kisses into hard wet bites, because his desire to devour the other one starts to show.
Every part of his omega tastes so good, it’s insane.
Already moaning, Felix smiles with satisfaction. He takes off his shirt. "Help me take these off," he says to the other, indicating his shorts, and Hyunjin’s large hands obeys, hesitantly reaching the waistband and begin to slowly lower it.
Hyunjin's sharp eyes appreciate the beautiful image that he’s having in his bedroom right now. The best omega in the world is there in front of him, all exposed and ready for him, just waiting for Hyunjin to do whatever he wants with him. The alpha sighs, it's too perfect to be true.
Leaning, Felix kisses him. "Now, my alpha, let him take control, just for today, okay? I promise it'll be good for both of us."
A growl comes out of the taller one and his instincts begin to take over. Surprisingly, he feels ready to let happen something that he has always been afraid of. It's a bond of trust that he knows he can hold on to, so he stands up. He’s finally ready to let his alpha take control in the deepest way.
His gaze clouded with pleasure stares at the angelic face one last time. After another growl escapes, he grabs the blonde tightly and carries him to the bed to begin the salvation ritual that the other offered him.
And he doesn't put Felix there, he throws him in the most primal way possible. Feeling his small body impact the soft mattress, the omega laughs and looks at the other who is breathing heavily. This is going to be really interesting , he thinks excitedly.
Hyunjin holds Felix's legs firmly and with one movement turns him abruptly, leaving him lying on his stomach. His big hands then hold his hips tightly and pull Felix's ass towards him. He rubs his fully erect member inside his pants between the other's buttocks just to tease him until the slick starts to increase. He wants a lot of Felix slick, he wants the omega dripping like crazy.
When his pants start to get stained with the other’s fluid, he takes off his own shirt and starts to undress his lower parts. After getting naked, he looks at the man standing up for him and licks his lips, starving. His cock throbs impatiently, he needs to be inside the other, so he just jerks his cock a few times and guides it to the rim.
So, without preparation and without warning, he simply puts it all at once, going really deep. Felix screams, because it’s so fast, so deep and Hyunjin seems even bigger entering with so much force that it seems like he's going to rip him. "Oh my god," he says in shock.
His reaction is completely ignored by the alpha who just holds his hips firmly, really firmly, and starts thrusting harder than ever, delighting in the warm interior of his omega.
Felix was right, he really is everything the alpha needs at that moment. He’s sure that if it were any other omega he would not feel half the pleasure he is feeling at the moment, especially because the other's loud moans catalyze what he’s feeling, further arousing his instincts.
It's the strangest yet most pleasurable sensation he's ever felt in his life, because while it feels absurdly perfect, it also feels that’s not enough. It feels like the peak of pleasure, but he wants even more and he has no idea how, so he just holds on tighter and increases his pace.
Meanwhile Felix doesn't even know how to react, he never felt something so big inside him and it feels like he's discovering new places in himself as the other puts it in and out. It's insane, at the same time his body seems to naturally do everything to be very inviting to his alpha, dripping even more, releasing even more of his pheromones, heating up even more.
And he’s becoming a moaning mess, anything else he tries to say turns into another loud moan with the strong and deep thrusts of his alpha. He simply loves it.
Sweet and attentive Hyunjin who basically serves him in bed is the best thing in the world, that's why he likes having sex with him so much. But this wild Hyunjin following his instincts is also incredible, he wants to enjoy every second before he loses his mind, because he knows that this will happen soon.
He’s taken out of his trance by Hyunjin's hoarse voice. "Omega, up," he orders, looking out of his mind.
At first Felix doesn't understand the order, but he doesn't even have time to think and try, because one of the alpha's hands slides down his back, going from Felix’s ass until his neck, passing by the tempting pink tattoo. He reaches the blond hair and when the omega realizes, he’s suspended, supported only by his knees while Hyunjin holds him by the hair tight.
He pulls Felix toward him and animalistically inhales as he fucks him as a salvage, his nose in the crook of the smaller man's neck. He growls, as if he can love the other's scent even more, the intensity seeping into his respiratory system burning with delight. It's hard to even notice that he's almost drooling from the sensation, as he's practically in a trance.
The blonde doesn't know exactly what he does. If he tries to support himself, concentrate his strength in his leg, or if he just stays there, basically hanging, being brutally fucked and relying on the strength of the root of his bleached hair.
And without warning, the alpha puts even more strength into the hair in his hands and brutally buries the omega’s head in the bed. It's even hard for Felix to breathe. He can't keep up with the way the other dominates his body, the way Hyunjin is fucking him is uncontrolled, the way that’s easy to see how feral he is in almost all his actions.
It seems like he really wants to destroy the omega to be able to reach another level of pleasure and the blonde had never seen an alpha so out of his mind and he loves it. He strangely likes this feeling of being basically used with all that strength, with violent instincts.
Taking advantage of the fact that his mouth is being pushed against the bed, he bites the sheet to try to find a point of concentration to understand and feel all the possible sensations while the other fucks him brutally. He wants to enjoy that moment until the end, but his mind is warning him about giving up, so
he needs to resist.
And just as the omega is getting used to that position, Hyunjin lets go of his roots and pulls him back in, this time by the omega's completely melted arms. He wraps a hand around the omega's thin waist and buries himself in the smaller man's neck. So he bites and goes even deeper, while making the blond omega roll his eyes with the thrusts and the firm pull on his hair.
"Alpha..." he tries to say something, he feels like he needs to say something, but he can't.
Meanwhile, Hyunjin feels as if the heat from Felix's body passes to his own through heat waves that go from one body to another, warming him until he almost explodes.
The sounds of collision of this incredibly scandalous sex that mixes with Felix's moans, that go so high he didn't even know he could reach this tone. But he’s feeling like his brain is being almost fucked out of him, so of course his reactions are so loud.
It's dirty, it's naughty and it's delicious.
The alpha's moans are also increasing along with his loud growls, there’s a pressure in the air, there’s a euphoria that seems to fill that room and makes it seem small and Hyunjin doesn’t know how much he can take it.
He leans over Felix letting go from the thin waist, placing his arms beside the small body. It’s almost funny how he can cover the small man beneath him completely. Then the alpha begins to bite him like an animal trying to devour its captured prey, it seems like he wants to eat the omega or something like this. Every single bite makes Felix feel an exciting burn.
It's coming, it's coming in a really intense way and the alpha knows it, he craves it. "Omega, I'm going to knot you, I need..." Hyunjin's voice comes out hoarse.
The omega's red face turns to him. "Do it, my alpha… Knot me and cum inside me… Give me your seeds." he consents with great difficulty.
And these are the words he eagerly awaited to hear from his omega. Permission to do what he needs to finally ease that madness inside him, the only thing his body wants, needs, his life's momentary goal.
So without needing anything else, Hyunjin almost screams and soon Felix feels the biggest knot the alpha has ever put inside him, he feels incredible. And doesn't take much until the man begins to cum more than ever in a delicious way inside the blonde. Felix feels it so hot inside him, heating up his walls, going deep, really deep.
Everything was so good, everything was great. Felix knows that afterward, his body will feel like it was destroyed, as if a bus had run over him. But he also knows every pain will be worth it, because every sensation was so unique and he loved it. It's a realization that makes his heart pound and his body tremble. He smiles.
A feeling of satisfaction seems to surround the two, it seems as if the dense aura of pleasure turns into something that makes everything momentarily lighter, clearer. The alpha feels moments of peace inside of him, even though he continues to feel the symptoms of his rut's intense desire, it's as if he's been momentarily sedated. He can breathe a little easier, his heart calms, his body feels more stable.
The omega truly saved him.
The two remain connected for a good moment and Felix can be happier that the other's seed has no chance of leaving him.
When Hyunjin comes to his senses a little, he starts to stroke the other's completely hard member to help his horny body. The smaller man delights himself with the movements of his alpha's hand. It doesn't take much for Felix to cum because he is already so stimulated. He comes screaming Hyunjin's name while still smiling.
After the shock of the orgasm hits him, he relaxes and feels his alpha caressing his hair and leaving kisses in the places that are sore from the hard bites.
Of course the other would find a moment among his instincts to be sweet and affectionate the way he always is. My perfect sweet alpha , he thinks and smiles satisfied with the romantic caresses, starting to purr.
However, the dark-haired man's stamina and desire are far from over and staying in the other's warm interior, which is still pulsing after orgasm, doesn't help him.
So when his knot finally begins to go away, he starts to thrust slowly, just enjoying the sensation. Felix's walls are soft, truly soft, and always seem to be just the right temperature to pleasure him. Hyunjin could stay there for hours, not just for the sexual stimulation of his walls contracting his member, but for the sensation of that warmth, for soft that texture.
Sensitive, Felix bites his lip to keep from moaning shamefully. The mixture of his fluids with Hyunjin's makes the movements smooth, making his desire increase.
Of course, the slow but delicious movements start to arouse the alpha's instincts in a few minutes. And when his knot comes out completely, he knows he wants is already to fuck the other like an animal until he comes again. "Kitten... I need more. Can I have more, please?" He seems to be begging shyly.
And Felix was just waiting to hear it from Hyunjin, because he also wants more, he wants to enjoy everything the alpha in his wildest state has to offer. "Then do it! I said I'm here to give you what you need, right? And I want more, I want you to cum more and more in me until I have no more empty space inside me."
His omega's words are like a choir of angels in his ear. All he needed was for the other to agree so he could start over, feel that pleasure all over again.
He slides out and holds the blonde like a doll, turning him over on the bed, already showing that his alpha's ferocity is returning. "You were so good to me, my beautiful omega," he says, so he kisses Felix deeply, puts his hands on his delicate knees to spread them brutally and fit himself between the other's legs."There’s no better omega than you in the world" and without wasting time, he once again put in hard into the tight hole that drives him crazy.
The ridiculously rough and deep thrusts come into play again and once again the omega becomes a mess and looking at the pretty wrecked freckled face makes Hyunjin smile. "Do you like it, kitten?" he asks happily that in this round he has more strength for dirty talk "do you like it when I'm rough with you like this?"
"I like it... I like everything... Everything you give me, alpha." and he's not lying or exaggerating, it seems that everything that comes from Hyunjin always fits perfectly with his tastes, everything makes him delirious with pleasure.
His heart races. It's satisfying to know that everything between them works in every possible way. "Who would have thought my bratty omega would accept it so easily?" He leans in to kiss the omega "you're perfect for me, so good for me."
Those words fill Felix with happiness. That's all he wants, to be perfect for his alpha at all times, to take care and give his alpha everything he needs. To be a good omega. "Am I?"
"You are, and very much so." The rhythm speeds up after he sees the satisfied smile on his omega's face when he hears that, making the dark-haired's body boil more and more.
But the smile doesn't last long, the thrusts start to get even firmer and Felix's smile turns into an agape mouth as he lets out his scandalous sounds of pleasure. And as Hyunjin watches the omega’s half-open mouth, the pulses of pleasure inside of him increase. That mouth hypnotizes the alpha. He wonders how a part of a body can be so beautiful and inviting like that, so hot, so skillful.
And when he realizes, his hand is already close to the other's mouth. "Open more," he orders with eyes fixed on the mouth.
Felix obeys and feels two of Hyunjin's big fingers entering inside the cavity and going deep towards his throat as his dick goes deeper into the blond omega’s pink hole. The deeper the fingers go towards his throat until they make him choke.
Taking the fingers out of the mouth, he watches the other cough until his breathing returns to normal, only to put it back in and repeat it over and over again until he realizes that tears are streaming down the other's face, making him smile. It’s so fun and he wants to see Felix ruined.
Something inside him says that Felix is fun to play with. He sees the other as an adorable kitten there to entertain Hyunjin. It seems that more than fucking and breeding, he also wants to play. It's confusing, but it's what his instincts seem to be telling him to do, and without realizing it, it's what he starts doing.
He, somewhat rough and clumsy, reaches for Felix's hands and holds them above his head, immobilizing him, as if he were a small prey for that carnivorous feline. His gaze roams the other with hunger, with desire.
And he starts giving small, but strong bites on various parts of the other as if he’s a small, colorful biteable plastic ball, the looks and sounds seems to encourage him to sink his teeth into the glowing skin.
He sucks on the blonde's neck, licks him as if he’s addicted, and then showers him with kisses, making Felix laugh between his moans – because even toying with him, the taller man's cock doesn't stop for a second.
The sensation inside Hyunjin is almost suffocating. But this sensation is a feeling of happiness, of satisfaction, as if his alpha had been waiting a while to play with the omega like this, something he didn't even know he needed. Felix has always been the playful one, but here it seems his instincts are unleashing and a new side of him is emerging.
And the blonde really feels like a toy that owners give to a pet to get its attention and play silly games. Maybe that's Hyunjin's alpha's way of getting revenge for all the times Felix's cat used him to entertain himself, for all the times he appealed to the other's instincts to have fun.
His head is spinning. He's being fucked, he's being toyed with, he cries with pleasure, he laughs at the feeling of being just a small cat in the hands of another big, silly cat. He doesn't even know what to think, but he likes it, he likes everything Hyunjin's instincts are doing at the moment.
However, for Hyunjin, that's not revenge. It's just his alpha seeing that adorable cat in his hands and wanting to play, to have fun with him in his own way. Maybe the happiness of the first knot in the middle of his heat made his alpha like that, but he can't even think much about it, he just follows his instincts.
It's intimate, it's pleasurable.
Hyunjin holds the delicate, red face firmly with one of his hands and kisses him hard. At the end of the kiss, a string of saliva connects them and makes him feel like he wants more of his fluids in the other's mouth. So, he spits in slowly and hat’s strangely pleasurable for the omega.
Felix rolls his eyes in pleasure and soon feels surprised with Hyunjin's warm tongue licking the tears that are still on his face. And once again he likes it. What a crazy alpha , he thinks and laughs to himself, but his thoughts are interrupted when he feels a fierce bite on his lips. This bite then goes to his earlobe, then his jaw, his neck. He ends up sucking hard on his omega's inviting neck again.
Then Felix feels one of his legs being lifted and the alpha's bites now focus on that. He can only imagine how marked he will be the next day and he really likes it.
The dynamic stirs Hyunjin’s instincts more and more and after being satisfied with using his omega as a toy, a growl comes out of the alpha as almost a warning, as he uses his hands to open Felix's legs even more and start going deeper and faster.
As he fucks the blonde, his mind goes back to the stage of only being able to go deeper and deeper into him, looking for the best place to dump his seeds. When he feels satisfied with the depth and angle, he returns to increase his rhythm.
The speed seems to be for punishing the blonde, more tears run down his face, he whines and whimpers. He barely knows how he's holding up, but it seems like he wants even more.
At a certain moment, Hyunjin opens his eyes and observes the omega's expressions of pleasure. His mind thinks about how much Felix is perfect, his face is pretty and delicate, his features seem carefully drawn. The constellation on his face is adorable, his mouth a work of art. Besides being pretty, Felix is healthy and strong.
He starts to think about how this beautiful omega is the perfect mate. He seems made for Hyunjin, made for Hyunjin's breeding, for him to put his seed deep inside and then carry the alpha's pups.
And that's what he's going to do, that's what his mind, shaken by pleasure and instincts, decides he's going to do. He's going to put his seeds so deep inside the other, he's going to impregnate him, and the blonde will look so pretty with Hyunjin's puppies inside him.
He sighs between his moans, "My seeds... Here," he says, drunk with pleasure, and places his hand on the lower man's uterus and fixes the point of his thrusts, making his cock appear under the other's belly, moving his charming belly piercing that has a delicate heart shaped gem.
"My god, my god," is the only thing Felix can say watching the scene, because his mind just exploded with the vision. The other is so deep inside him and driving him crazy, he wonders how he’s taking it. And everything is even more insane with Hyunjin saying he's going to put his seeds there. "Yes, my love... Put it there." He agrees.
The alpha's growl is loud. He doesn't care if it's possible or not, but he wants to make it happen. He really wants to impregnate Felix and make him carry the result of their bond. No matter what he needs to do to make it happen, no matter how much he needs to fill the other. He will do it.
The electrifying sensation of the peak of pleasure begins to grow in his body. "I'm going to knot you, again and then again and again... Then you're going... All of them... All of them," he says without even understanding what he wants to say to the other.
"Yes, yes, yes," the blonde answers, also overflowing with pleasure and knowing that he wants to cum too. He's completely delirious. "Keep going, my alpha... Put all your seeds... Please..." he says between his panting breaths.
"I will..."
Hyunjin feels that he wants to cum together with his omega, he feels like their climax needs to be together and with the mix of their pleasure, he’ll achieve his goal. To do it, he keeps thrusting Felix sweet spot.
Leaning over, he puts his forehead against the other's and looks at him as deeply as possible, looking into those beautiful deer eyes that hypnotizes him so much.
It seems that the same shock hits both of them and a mix of physical and emotional reactions happen there. Hyunjin knots Felix and pours himself inside him, while the other starts to spasms and comes between their abdomens. All this while they kiss passionately.
And connecting with the omega it’s simply the best feeling ever. After all the desire and euphoria, lying there with his knot inside him is a peaceful sensation. It's as if their bodies are united, trying to make their wishes real. He feels so happy.
The kisses become soft as Hyunjin's hands gently run over the omega's body. Their scent is still intense, but it's no longer stimulating, it’s relaxing. Their soft skin in contact transmits the heat from one body to the other, a welcoming warmth and calms them.
And for the first time since Felix entered the room, the alpha's gaze seems really calmer, less lustful, but not entirely free of it. The blonde wants to enjoy this soft moment and then surrender himself to the other again and again. It's good, it's good to just stay there, feeling each other, enjoying the calm. Just kissing and smiling until the alpha's knot disappears.
Everything is so incredible, it's almost unbelievable that he almost missed it because of the alpha's fears, fears of things that don't seem even close to happening, fears due to insecurities that if Felix could, he would rip out of the other without a second thought.
The sex is perfect, seeing a more instinctive side of Hyunjin is great, it's intimate. The feeling of satisfaction is unique, and the anticipation of more is delicious.
However, nothing compares to what happens when they separate.
Maybe it's the feeling of the moment, maybe it's all that connection, maybe it's the post-orgasm letting everything that goes through Hyunjin's head come out unfiltered, but he just smiles at the omega and lets his heart talk. "I love you, kitten," Hyunjin says breathlessly, still looking into the eyes of the other who smiles.
And saying it feels so good. He doesn't even need to hear it back, he just needs to say it. Finally say that phrase, so simple, yet so complex, that comes to mind every time he looks at the freckles decorating that beautiful face, every time he hears that deep voice or holds that small hand.
That phrase that seems to be what's holding back a whirlwind of feelings that could overflow, feelings he perhaps wants to overflow, feelings he wants to use to cover Felix completely, cover his body and soul.
He never doubted that feeling. It emerged, and Hyunjin accepted it, but something in him made him hesitant to speak it out loud, not for fear of seeming emotional, but for fear of being too much and pressuring Felix into thinking he has to feel as much as he does. It's a certainty he kept to himself, cherished, not like a bad secret.
But in the end, it came out and it's as if a path of flowers bloomed at that moment.
Looking into his omega's eyes, he sees happiness shining in it like beautiful stars. This makes him not regret letting it slip, now he's glad that the feeling was too much and came out without his permission. It's nice to see Felix feeling happy about being loved.
And the words enter the omega's ears and travel throughout his body until they reach his heart, which accelerates. He never needed Hyunjin to say it, because he always trusted his feelings, but it feels so good to hear it said. "I love you too, my alpha."
"And I will love you forever, nothing will take that away from me," the dark-haired man smiles.
Felix laughs like a dazzled teenager. "Me too, I will always love you, Jinnie, and I’ll always be with you. I’m yours."
They kiss. They share one of the sweetest, most emotionally charged kisses they've ever shared. Perfect for putting a finishing touch to those sincere words that came from the depths of their passionate hearts.
Everything was really perfect. But this is just the beginning of that rut full of intense feelings and desires. A rut they don't yet know, but one that will profoundly change their lives forever.
…
Felix is a mess. He's been a complete mess for over ten days now. His mood is terrible, unstable, he seems to have no patience for anything or anyone, and he's completely sensitive. It seems like everything is stimulating him in the wrong way, sometimes the lights seem too much, the voices seem to annoy him, nothing seems to be in a way that satisfies him.
It seems like everything is a reason to get him upset or make him want to cry. The only thing that seems to calm him down is being around Hyunjin.
It's clear that since they started their relationship, he's been hungry for the alpha presence, he always wants him, but it's at a level that's bothering him. It's like the feeling of dependence he had during his heat, but worse. He's unstable, irritable, and cries all the time when he's away from the dark-haired man.
Another thing that is a mess is his body. He's sensitive, almost sore in certain parts and he also seems heavy and exhausted, as if he's been carrying a ton of weight everywhere. To make matters worse, he's been feeling terrible stomach pains for the last few days.
Sometimes it seems like he lies down to rest and somehow during the night a parade of cars and god knows what else uses him as a route until they destroy every part of his delicate body. It's a mess.
This early afternoon, everything seems to be worse. Lunch was made by him and Mrs. Bae, who takes care of the house's food during some of the busier days. Everything smells so delicious and he knows that all the ingredients were fresh and well-chosen. He also knew that everything was impeccably prepared and that it tasted great when he ate it. But he ends up regretting having eaten.
Everything, absolutely everything he had eaten is being thrown up and the worst part: this wasn't the first time that week that this had happened. It’s the second meal he had thrown down the toilet due to a sudden feeling of nausea.
After getting rid of everything, he gets up a little weak and goes towards the bathroom sink. When he sees himself in the mirror, he notices his pale face, swollen lips and watery eyes due to the act of vomiting. His pores look bigger, he looks bloated, his face looks washed out. There's something strange about him even physically, as if something inside him is sucking the energy that keeps him glowing on the outside.
His heart races desperately. "You're tripping," he says to his reflection, which seems to judge him based on the probability of something he doesn't want to pay attention to for fear of it being real.
He brushes his teeth, gets ready and goes back to his life, pretending nothing happened and working hard to contain some mood swings until the best moment of his day arrives: the time to see his alpha and feel better.
And it’s always work, in the end a small time with Hyunjin makes wonders. The problem is that everything happens again.
Two days later the same thing happens to him.
He’s having a great afternoon tea with Jisung with a cake he made himself after learning in his baking class. A really sweet peach jam cake, just the way he always loved it. It smells good at first, the taste is supposed to be sweet but soft, the sugar on point. The texture seems perfect and his brother eats it like he loves it, eating with sparkles in his eyes.
Unfortunately, for him the things are different and the sweet and sugary taste is not welcome.
With the first bite he already feels it, with the second he accepts it, with the third he simply apologizes to his brother and says he needs to run and do something in his room. When he’s there, he just finds himself hugging the toilet again. "Fucking hell" he says weakly.
And everything comes out of him, burning with the accompanying stomach acid. The taste is horrific and painful. And it doesn't seem to stop.
He doesn't understand what's happening. Maybe he doesn't want to understand what's happening, because even with the low odds, something very serious could be happening and it will bring his world crashing down.
"Lix, my God, what happened?" the question surprises him. Jisung is behind him with a worried expression.
"Ji? What are you doing here?" he says, scared.
"Well, you ran out completely pale... And now you're throwing up..."
"It's nothing” he says but throws up again and his brother looks a little bit disgusted. Weakly he gets his head up after finishing it “it's just… It’s just that the sweet taste didn't go down well. That's all" he lies, because he knows that maybe it's not just that.
His brother raises an eyebrow at him, finding it strange. "It’s weird, Lixie, I mean you’re the one who always ate such sweet things, could there be something in your stomach? Especially since you've been throwing up a lot these days"
The blonde looks scared. "How do you know?"
"It wasn't hard to hear, the house was empty as hell and silent, and you’re really loud, you know?"
Felix's head is spinning. He can't let his suspicions surface. "I probably have something in my stomach, I think I'll make an appointment with the doctor," he says, and right afterward, another bout of vomiting hits him.
Jisung looks worried and a little disgusted. "Lixie, you really need it. Maybe that's why you're such a pain in the ass in the last days” Then something seems to hit Jisung hard. The most insane thought possible, with the worst association appears in the omega's mind “Wait a minute... Oh my god," the oldest twin just feels his body shivering.
"Ji, no. It has nothing to do with it. I know what you're thinking and..."
His face shows his despair "Oh my god, Felix. It can't be, tell me you're using protection, tell me you've been on pills," the desperation is clear in his voice.
"Jisung don’t trip, right?" he says.
The other omega nervously runs his hand over his face. "Tell me."
Felix's eyes start to water with nervousness. "I'm on pills, okay? We've never used a condom, but I'm taking it right," but when he speaks, he remembers that at the beginning of his cycle he forgot once, but it was only once. "I mean... I forgot once, but it was at the beginning of the cycle, okay?"
"Fuck, Felix. Fuck. How you don’t use condoms? At least tell me, did you go to the doctor after you started having sex with Hyunjin to change your conventional pill?"
A feeling of genuine confusion arises in the omega's mind. "What? What are you talking about?"
Jisung stares at his brother. He wants to hit Felix right now for being so stupid. "Lixie, Hyune is an excellent species, and so are you. Your hormones and body react differently to each other, it's like it's... Stronger. You had to be taking specific pills."
"Does this exist?" he says, genuinely confused as this is all new to him.
Open-mouthed, Jisung almost loses the words he wants to say to his brother. He can't believe what he's hearing. "Of course it does, you idiot. Did you fall asleep in biology class?"
To be quite honest, he did. He always thought classes were boring and since he had no plans to have a relationship, he never looked into the subject. "I didn't know..." his head started to hurt. "Do you… Do you think I'm... Pregnant?" His voice is trembling, full of fears and anxieties.
Staring at his brother, Jisung uses everything he has to try to calm down, he can't believe how dumb his twin was. His head is in a whirlwind for several reasons considering the conversation they're having, but when he looks at the pale, weak blonde omega on the floor of that bathroom, he knows that he needs to focus on helping his twin. "I don't know. I think we should test it before losing our minds," he says and sighs.
A tear runs down his freckled cheeks. "Should I go to the pharmacy to buy the test?"
The black-haired omega shakes his head in denial. "No, let's go to my room."
Arriving in Jisung's room, the older omega starts rummaging through a drawer on a dresser near the window. The blonde watches him while sitting on the soft bed that smells like his brother and Lino, with a water bottle in hands and with the anxiety making him feel like he has to be careful not to let his heart jump out of his chest at any moment.
It's such a strange feeling. No, it's a series of strange feelings that seem too much for him to handle. His stomach churns and churns, his heart is pounding so fast it almost hurts. He can see the tension in his trembling hands.
Finally, the older twin takes some boxes out of the drawer and nervously places them next to his brother on the bed. "Here." It’s some pregnancy tests.
"Why do you have pregnancy tests?" Felix laughs.
"Because I like to... Be safe. You know? Testing sometimes to see if there's... Something."
It really seems like a habit that Jisung would have when Felix thinks about it. The man has always been careful when it comes to pregnancy, even paranoid if you ask Felix's opinion, so it's not so surprising that having an active sex life he keeps this kind of thing to himself.
However, he has no time to think about his brother's eccentric habits and weird traits. So, one of the blond omega's hands goes to one of the boxes and picks it up. "Okay, how do I do this?" he asks sincerely to the other omega in the room. He has no idea how a pregnancy test works, he never even thought he would be in a situation like this in his life
It's funny and tragic because he has always been so cautious, he was almost repulsed by the idea of an alpha inside him doing this raw, but with Hyunjin, it always feels so right; he always wants to feel his alpha in the most intense way possible. Who would have thought he'd end up going through something like this?
Using all the calm he can muster at the moment, Jisung explains to Felix how the tests work and how to use it. It turns out to be simple, but with the blonde's nervousness, he's incredibly afraid of making a mistake and getting false results.
They decide to do more than one test of different brands just for conscience clearance. So, with his legs shaking, a terrified Felix goes to Jisung's bathroom with the boxes and he carefully does the whole procedure. When he finishes it, he places it on a piece of toilet paper and waits.
Minutes later, it's time for the first revelation.
The atmosphere of apprehension that has settled over the place is intense. If someone with calm emotions and complete well-being were to enter there, they would probably be immediately overcome by apprehension and fear.
Silently, the two almost consider giving up and pretending it was all a momentary madness, as if if they don't discover the truth, nothing will happen. They can just ignore it. But they can’t do it and they know that they need to be certain of it when they look at the two small objects. Unfortunately, they have to face it.
The two tests are side by side. The two twins are shaking like they've never shaken in their lives, the older one feels like he's going to throw up at any moment, the younger one feels like he's going to faint.
Tears start to go down in Felix’s beautiful face.
Seeing his brother cry, Jisung runs to hug him and holds one of his hands. "It's okay, let's find out if it's real and then we'll figure it out, okay? I'm here for you, share your fear and nervousness with me and I promise I'll make everything work out."
Felix loves his brother so much. He loves that no matter what happens in his life, he knows Jisung will care for him, hold his hand and try to make everything better, even if it seems impossible. The moment is terrifying, but he couldn't be more grateful to be doing this with his twin, one of the people who gives him the most strength in the world.
The crying gets even louder, but it comes out more lightly from Felix's chest, who squeezes his brother's hand for courage. "Okay, let's see," he says weakly and sniffs to try to make the crying stop.
He takes a deep breath, and so does Jisung. The older twin feels the sweat starting to form on his brother's hand that is holding his own. It's as if a life is passing so quickly and happening in seconds inside that lavender-scented bathroom. Everything can change right there in that moment without them even having time to consider how big it is, how big the real impact will be depending on what they discover. It's breathtaking.
They get closer to the tests and it seems like something has come out of their stomachs because when they focus, there it is: two lines on both tests, red, clear and strong, as if they didn't want to leave any doubts for the two nervous omegas. Not even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to interpret it any other way.
Felix’s legs lose his strength, he shivers and feels his body give way. Luckily for him, his brother acts quickly and holds him. "Hey, calm down, Lixie, calm down." He says, knowing that it's impossible to be calm at the moment, it's more like an attempt at comfort. "I said we'll figure it out, okay?" He pulls Felix into a hug.
"Jiji… Daddy's going to kill Hyunjin." he burst into tears, in painful tears.
The pregnancy itself is not the problem for the omega. For weeks now, he's even seeing the idea as something exciting. The problem is their context and it hurts to know that something that should be so good, something that he and Hyunjin had already said they wanted, something that should make them happy, now seems so terrible. It hurts to know that Hyunjin's biggest wish is now something that could make him suffer so much.
Being pregnant will make the whole situation worse for him and Hyunjin, hiding it will become basically impossible. He'll need to think of something to save his alpha, because he can't let anything bad happen to the man he loves.
Jisung understands right away. He, personally, would be freaking out about a surprise pregnancy, but of course for Felix the main problem is his alpha's safety.
Those two tests are basically proof that Hyunjin may be about to suffer the worst that can happen to anyone. Those two tests are proof that Hyunjin lied and betrayed Minho's trust, breaking the biggest rule that the alpha imposed on all his subordinates. He can't even imagine the worry and fear that invaded his twin's heart at that moment.
However, he can't weaken, he needs to be firm for Felix. "Lixie, calm down. Let's do two more, okay? If they're positive, we'll also talk to Lino, Chan, Min, God knows who else and we'll find a way, okay? I promise you. It'll work out."
The blonde cries, sobs, but agrees with his brother. Using the little strength he has left in his body, he drinks some more water and makes two more attempts, begging the heavens that everything was just a mistake, a coincidence or even just a very realistic nightmare.
But, unfortunately, when the new results appear, the two risks are once again there facing the blonde, clearly challenging Felix's sanity, who just wants to throw it away and pretend that everything was an outburst and that none of this happened.
And something seems to tighten in his throat, his mind seems to start to empty as a coping mechanism for the situation. The only thing he can do is cry, if he tries any other thing he will just explode.
Seeing his brother's state, Jisung searches inside himself for how to comfort him, how to try to do something for him. "Come here, Lixie" he gently pulls the omega by the hand and leads him to sit on the bed.
When he settles Felix in place, he hugs him, silently indicating to the other omega that he is there to bear whatever reaction his brother will have. Understanding the message, Felix hugs him tightly too and then lets out all his tears.
It's scary. Jisung has never seen anyone cry like this. It's so desperate that he can't even explain the anguish of hearing the state his brother is in, but he knows that he has to endure it. For his twin, he shares whatever feeling he has, no matter how painful it is for him too.
Felix cries, sobs, sniffles, screams muffled into his brother's shoulder. He pulls the other and squeezes him, tries everything he can to feel lighter, but nothing seems to help. The only thing that helps him in the slightest is the way his brother gently caresses his back, trying to ease his pain.
It feels like everything in his life is falling apart so fast that he doesn't have time to run and save anything. It feels like someone is dunking his head underwater until it enters his lungs and he suffocates in the most painful way possible. It feels like life is ready to take away what's most precious to him without any mercy.
His head feels like it's being filled with a hurricane of the worst possible possibilities, a big, powerful hurricane ready to devastate everything in his way, to sweep away any shred of hope he might have.
He wants to run until his legs give up, to scream until his throat explodes and then ask someone to hit him square in the head until those thoughts start to disappear, until his mind becomes empty so he can stop thinking. Why did it have to be this way? Why did it have to be with me? It's the only thing he can think of alongside his automatic desire to go back in time and change everything.
And after a lot of desperate crying, it seems like he finally has the strength to say something. "Ji, I... I need to find a way, think of something," he sobs, "this pregnancy-"
However, whatever he was trying to say at that moment is interrupted by the door to Jisung's room opening wide. "Pregnancy?" Jeongin's voice says in shock. The youngest omega watches the two of them confused, with his fake ginger hair standing on in shock and with his foxy eyes wide open.
Damn, I didn't close this shit properly , Jisung thinks, angry at himself for having just come in desperate and forgotten to make sure. "Wait, Ayen," he tries to say something before his brother asks more questions, but it's too late.
Jeongin's striking eyes alternate between looking at the desperate twins and the boxes of pregnancy tests on the bed. Seeing Felix's state, it's not hard to conclude which of the two is going through the situation. Without reacting, he just closes the door and goes into the room.
His mouth is dry. If his brother is crying like that, it's because that surprise may not be desired. "Lixie, what's up? Why are you doing these tests and why are you crying like this? Why are you talking about pregnancy?" he gets nervous.
"Ayen, calm down" Jisung tries to intervene. Damn, did things have to get this bad? He wonders.
"Calm down? Lixie is in despair, what's going on?" But then he puts the pieces together and realizes that he knows what's going on. "Are you really pregnant?" he says in a way that tries to be calm.
The blonde omega's eyes tear up even more. He just nods and Jisung sighs.
Then comes the worst part for Jeongin. The part where he doesn't want to confirm something that he's been suspecting for weeks. "Who's the father?" he says without changing his tone, but the answer he gets is his brother's breathing accelerating with his crying.
If this is real, everything will turn into a nightmare , the omega thinks with a lot of fear. Jeongin has been suspicious of his brother's relationship with a specific person, but every time he did everything he could to put the idea aside because the possibility of it being real scared him for both their sakes.
It can't be , he tells himself, but he knows, he feels that unfortunately he might be right. "Lixie. It's Hyunjin, isn't it?"
Felix freezes. Hiding from Jeongin was one of the couple's priorities, as they didn't want to involve him in the lie any further, especially due to the sense of protection they both have for the younger omega. Therefore, hearing those words from him put the blonde against the wall.
He finds himself at a crossroads, and while he still thinks it's important not to involve his younger brother, it's also difficult for him to lie to a direct question. Hiding was already difficult, now lying like this seems even worse, he hates lying to his brothers.
The blond omega's heart tightens even more. As if all the whirlwind of things weren't enough, Jeongin appears at the worst possible moment. "Ayen..." he tries to say something with a shaky voice, but he has no idea what to say.
Jeongin laughs nervously. "Of course it is. I saw how different everything was between you two, it was obvious actually, but I never wanted to believe that you were hiding it from me... In the end, you really were."
He becomes an even bigger ball of nervousness when he hears his brother's hurt tone. At no point they wanted to hide it, they had to hide it to protect him from this chaos. However it really is understandable that the youngest feels this way, but Felix cannot allow it. "We didn't want to hurt you, we didn't hide it because we wanted to, it was to protect you" he stands up.
"Hey, hey, hey. Let's stop here" Jisung intervenes before Jeongin’s answer because he knows that this is not the time to air that dirty laundry, they have a much bigger problem in their hands. "This is not the time for this, okay. Ayen, I know you must be hurt that they hid it, Lixie I know you had your reasons, but right now our focus has to be different"
The two omegas look at each other. Jeongin can see the distress and guilt in his brother's teary eyes and something inside him turns. Felix has always been so careful and loving with him, even though he feels hurt for being deceived and that the reasons are not enough for him, Jisung is right and that this is not the time, his brother has to be the priority.
He sighs. "You're right, Ji. I'm sorry, Lix, I just... Let's leave this aside, we have more important things right now."
The blond omega's heart beats with relief. It's as if in that fallen pile of disasters, at least one foundation is holding firm, Jeongin showing understanding really brings him the slightest bit of relief. He would rather the world stop spinning than have to deal with one of his brothers hurt by him. "Thank you, brother and I'm sorry."
"Let's just not talk about this now, okay? We have to think about what we're going to do."
And honestly, Felix has no idea of what he should do. He doesn't even know where he should start thinking. He doesn't know if he should run to Hyunjin or find a way to deal with everything alone so as not to put him at risk. It's the worst feeling he's ever had in his life.
The worst thing of all is knowing that if they were in a normal situation, this could be the best moment of their lives, especially because the alpha would be fulfilling one of his most precious dreams. But by now, it could be the reason for the worst to happen to his life and Felix thinks that this is so unfair.
He sits down again, feeling his body weak. Jisung sits down next to him and reaches for his hand to hold it, trying to reassure his twin. His throat feels a lump forming once again, and the urge to cry resurfaces. "I... I have no idea what to do."
"We need to take you to a doctor first," Jeongin says, "regardless of what we will do, we need to get a test result from a professional."
The oldest of the brothers nods, "I think we need to talk to Seungmin and ask for his help,he understands about it more than us. Like, really more."
The youngest omega arches his eyebrow, "so he knows too," he says without thinking much.
"He found out, it's Seungmin, you know how impossible it is to hide something from him," the blonde justifies himself.
"Focus, you two," the third brother intervenes again, "I'll call him and asks him to come home because we have an emergency and then we'll find a way to take you to the doctor, okay?"
And that's what they do. Jisung calls the fourth brother, who, just by hearing the distress in his voice, understands that the situation is truly an emergency and finds a way to run home.Thank God the four have always had a connection that always shows when they are needed by each other and that makes them drop everything and prioritize each other.
Then Seungmin with a heavy, worried feeling runs to the house as soon as possible and after arriving and hearing the news, he finds himself at first speechless. It's one of the worst scenarios that could happen, he doesn't even want to believe what they tell him. It's desperate and his mind's first reaction is to become a mess of the worst possibilities, of fears.
But when he finally manages to start thinking, he has to control himself a lot to keep from starting to lecture his brother, because he can't believe how careless he was, how he and Hyunjin let something so stupid happen knowing how difficult their relationship already is.
What happens is that even though he's not the oldest, he's always been the most responsible of the four. He always knew how to stop the twins from messing around and jumping into the shittiest things and always took care of the youngest brother. Lecturing Felix was something that hasn't happened once or twice and everything is screaming to him to do it again. But he doesn't.
Beyond being responsible, Seungmin, even with his more skittish nature, has always been overflowing with empathy, especially for his brothers. It doesn't take much for him to know that even though Felix has been irresponsible, the priority there is to find a way for things to end well and take care of him and the new life inside him.
In the end, Seungmin's reaction is to hug his brother with affection and care, trying to give him at least a little security.
After trying to calm down the blond omega and provide him with some reassurance, he begins to think along with the others and agrees with Jeongin that he should pursue a professional outcome before taking any action.
Seungmin manages to contact his doctor and schedules the exam for the next morning and for the rest of that day, the three brothers focus on trying to calm Felix down and try to make him believe at least a little that everything will be okay.
Hyunjin spent the afternoon with an unsettling feeling. At no point did he manage to understand why. The food tasted strange, he couldn't finish his coffees letting it become cold and he couldn't concentrate enough to work. Everything got worse when he got home and could feel his omega's nervousness.
No words were needed. It wasn't even necessary for him to look into the omega's eyes and see that he had been crying. When he sees him, he just feels that Felix isn’t well, and he knows that something is very wrong, which fills him with agony, making him look for a chance to ask what’s making him so nervous.
However, he only managed to do so after dinner.
The blonde said that he had a headache and that he was going to have dinner in his room, and this made Hyunjin’s feeling worse, it’s really suspicious. He asked himself over and over again what it could be, but nothing came to mind. He's worried as hell, he hates the idea of Felix not being okay.
When all the lights outside the bedrooms seem to have gone out, he runs to the omega's room in agony and knocks on the door as he always does, only with his heart almost jumping out of his mouth due to anxiety.
Finally, the door opens and what he sees hits him in the stomach. His omega is red and his eyes are swollen from crying, he’s clearly feeling bad and this makes Hyunjin's world fall apart, his heart tightens. "Baby, what happened?" he hurries to say as he enters.
However, the only response he gets is Felix hugging him tightly, then starting to cry even more, sobbing. The only thing he can do it’s hug him and caress the blond hair, trying to make the other's pain pass to him through physical contact, even though he still has no idea what happened.
No words are necessary. Of course he wants to understand what happened to the other, but the priority is to accept his feelings and comfort him. So they stay like this for a while longer, with Hyunjin's warmth warming the blond omega who lets all his feelings out.
When the tears finally seem to stop, the alpha hugs him once more. "What happened, my love?" he asks gently.
Honestly, Felix doesn't know what to say. He needs to follow through with what he agreed with his brothers, he needs to think, he needs to decide what he's going to do and how to protect Hyunjin in this situation. But he also needs the alpha by his side, he needs the comfort, the affection, the security. He sighs, because it's not time to be honest with the other yet and that's terrible.
He feels the warmth of the other's arms a little more and then takes his hand and guides him to lie down on the bed next to him, because he feels an insane need to be completely enveloped by Hyunjin's body.
They start to cuddle. "I'm just being dramatic… I just dreamed that something really bad happened to us and it's eating me up" he tries to say at least the superficial of the whole situation, pretending it's just a dream "I can only think about what I would do if something bad happened to you, how I would protect you, how far I would be willing to go. It's so hard" the blonde says.
The alpha begins to comprehend him and the reaction of the blonde in his arms becomes truly understandable. It’s painful when they are reminded that their life is not just the moments in which they seem to be in heaven and there’s always a chance of something going wrong and this can destroy their loved life together.
He puts himself in Felix’s shoes and it really hurts.
A fear runs through his body. As he has already made it very clear to his omega, it’s not the fear of dying, it is the fear of not being able to be by his side anymore. For him, the only way to be happy is by Felix's side. It doesn't matter what happens, it doesn't matter if the world ends, if he can be with Felix, everything can be alright.
In fact, this is what makes him postpone the confrontation with Minho, because he knows that it may be the last time he sees the man he loves and he is not ready to part with Felix if everything goes wrong.
So he holds the omega even tighter and feels him in his embrace. It hurts, it’s difficult, but he will find a way, this is the center of his thoughts in the last months. They need to live a life together, they have plans, they have a lot of love between them that needs to be lived. "I understand, my love, but I promise you that nothing bad will happen to me," he tries to calm the omega.
Felix's breathing is shaky. "I don't know, Jinnie, I just don't want anything bad to happen to you, I don't want to be away from you. I would do anything crazy to avoid it, I swear."
"I know and so do I. What matters is for us to stay together." he answers, trying to comfort the other.
And it's the purest truth. In his heart, what matters is being by Felix's side, he'd give up almost anything for that. He has his obstacles, he has lives that depend on him, but other than that, he's ready for anything, and he hopes the omega can sense that truth in him. He hopes that this fear coming from the other is never linked to doubts, because if there is something he wants from the bottom of his heart, it is for Felix to always know that his feelings are real, that he loves him.
The omega's dark, teary eyes watch him. "Hyunjin, promise me that we will do whatever it takes to make this happen? I know we have our limits, but if we need to run away, disappear, completely change our lives, do something crazy or whatever, promise me that we will find a way to do it. Please, I can’t live without you."
To be honest, this is not a doubt in Hyunjin's mind. He is sure that he will do whatever it takes to stay with the other, he just doesn't know what it takes yet and is afraid that it won't be enough, but he will. Felix is his life, so there is not the slightest doubt in his body. "Of course, my love. I will do whatever it takes for you, for us. I swear."
When he feels that there is no hesitation in the answer, he manages to smile at least a bit. It’s a weak and small smile, but he does it. There is still no light that illuminates him to find a solution to all of this, but just having Hyunjin without any doubts and willing to do anything by his side, he will make it work.
So that night they keep cuddling as they sleep together until Hyunjin's alarm clock reminds him that he has to sneak back to his room. And that’s all Felix needs to calm at least a bit, just the exchange of warmth and affection, just the love that they share filling them. A thin thread of hope that makes them think that everything will be okay.
The next day, Felix's words echo in Hyunjin's head all day long. The anguish remains in his chest, despite that thread of hope that is keeping him sane. It's hard.
He can't concentrate on anything, he just replays in his head the scene of the other crying and his sincere request. The only thing that makes him work and think is the anxiety of finding a solution for their lives before it's too late, before the omega suffers even more. He can't let the person he loves keep in this state with that feeling of fear.
He feels like the previous night was a warning from the universe that his time is running out and he needs to do something as soon as possible. To that end, he spends basically the entire day mapping out solutions, thinking of ways to escape, scheming how everything can work for their own good.
Honestly, he has a few ideas. All of them have a low chance of working, all of them require help, all of them have consequences. But if he has even the slightest chance of staying by his omega's side, it's still worth it to him.
The sun streams through the window of his office and warms him, calming his heart a bit. It's funny how much this is the same effect the blonde has on him, so he values feeling that warmth on his skin so much, he's become so fond of the way the sun illuminates him and warms his body.
Before, he was an alpha who enjoyed his isolation, the cold, the silence. Now he enjoys the light, the warmth, having someone by his side all the time. A silly change, but one that makes him smile when he thinks about it. And it’s just one of the changes Felix made in him and every day he thanks himself for giving them space to dive together, understand each other together and change together, preparing themselves to walk a path in which they will always be by each other's side.
While Hyunjin lives his anguish, the blond omega lives his own as he’s paralyzed in the bright and comfortable waiting room of a hospital with his positive test in hand. He looks at the paper, and even though he knows everything that's there, that he understands everything that's written there, something inside him doesn't let him absorb it. But he needs to accept it.
Even after so many confirmations, he still had hope that it was just a turbulent nightmare, but it isn't. Inside him there’s really a baby.
His brothers, who had lied to their family that at this time of the morning the four of them would be at brunch, try to comfort him in any way they can, with hugs, words or other affectionate gestures. "Well, now we need to think together about what we're going to do," Seungmin says thoughtfully.
"Have you thought about what you're going to do about Hyunjin, Lix?" Jeongin asks.
He tries to take his eyes off the positive result to answer his brother, although it's difficult. "I... I want to tell Jinnie first of all. First because he's the father, it's his right. Second, because I know he'll help me and he'll do everything he can to find a way. I just need to... Digest this a little," he unconsciously brings one of his hands to the height of his uterus.
Jeongin observes his hands and smiles in amazement. He knows the situation is complex, but he can't help but feel a warmth in his heart when he looks at his brother's belly. "Wow, there really is a life here. It's unreal, like... It's you... You know?" He approaches and gently touches the spot with his hand.
"Yeah, I think there is." Felix smiles weakly, because regardless of his fear at that moment, something inside him feels good knowing that this is the result of what he feels for Hyunjin.
Seungmin's hand joins Jeongin's and he laughs "how crazy, it's really something that none of us were expecting, you creating a life inside of you."
A little away from his brothers, Jisung looks in distress. In fact, he's feeling a little guilty, maybe after Felix, he's the one who was most hoping the home tests would be wrong. Now he's there, thinking about how to fake a smile similar to his brothers', when the only thing he feels is a shiver down his spine. "Yeah... You're creating a life," he says, unable to hide his look of agony.
Luckily for him, the other three are too busy, two of them with wonder and Felix with the confusion of his own feelings.
So the blond omega's afternoon passes in the most distressing way possible. He just lies on his bed, gently stroking his belly, as if he somehow wanted to pass on his affection to the life that’s there and that can be blamed for the situation.
He doesn't feel angry at the fetus that is there or thinks that he wants it to disappear. Now that he knows it’s there, he just wants to be able to offer a better arrival into the world for that little innocent life. If it were up to him, everything surrounding this news would be nothing but happiness, he would prepare a world of joy to welcome his baby.
He eats a bit because his brothers insist, but the only times he gets out of bed are to throw up. He doesn't think it’s because of the pregnancy, but rather the nervousness that has taken over him and is reflecting on his body. In addition, he feels his hormones are unstable.
He’s shaking and is weak, and the closer it gets to Hyunjin's arrival, the more nervous he becomes. The anxiety to talk to him and tell him what is happening is killing him.
He trusts his alpha, he knows that Hyunjin will agree to do anything for him and for this life, that they will think about something together. Still, the news itself is shocking and messes with his head. Besides, there is a terrible part of him that is afraid that the alpha will abandon him. Something that he knows is unrealistic, but that his thoughts and unstable hormones keep trying to put in his mind.
He tosses and turns in his bed and growls angrily at himself for even letting that thought exist, then cries a little more until he falls asleep and finally forgets the situation he is in at least for a moment.
When he wakes up, he gets the worst news he could possibly receive: his father wants everyone to have dinner together because of something good that happened at work and he wants to celebrate. He sighs in annoyance, of course he is happy for his father, but leaving that room was the last thing he was planning until he managed to talk to Hyunjin.
Some excuses run through his head, but he knows very well that they won't work. If he said he was sick, for example, everything will be a thousand times worse because his father will want to run to his room to see how he is and insist like a madman to take him to the doctor. It's a dead end, so he just has to do everything he can to calm down as much as he can so he can control his stomach and not let his nervous hormones do anything that night.
Throughout the day, the blonde answered Hyunjin's messages as naturally as he could, as he didn't want to worry him again, and it was actually working, even though the dark-haired man's anxiety hadn't gone away. However, when Felix sat at the dinner table, pale and weak, his gaze averted from Hyunjin's and the alpha felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart.
Minho begins to tell everyone there about the family's latest achievement for what he calls a clean business. Everyone seemed very focused on the story, Chan smiled a lot, as did Kibum, and even Felix seemed to be smiling. But Hyunjin couldn't concentrate on the story, as the only thing he wanted to know at the moment was how his omega was doing.
He could see that the blonde is trying hard to eat the appetizers for dinner. He knows that the smiles are forced, because he knows the other's emotions well. Besides, he was constantly avoiding Hyunjin's gaze, and this is driving him crazy.
Felix, on the other hand, feels like he's going to explode at any moment. That terrible feeling of pretending that everything is fine seems to be consuming him, he just wants to finish that damn dinner quickly and go to his room and rest his head until he can be with Hyunjin. Besides, it seems that if he looks at his alpha he'll start crying again and he has no idea how he's going to explain this to everyone at the table. Avoiding his alpha's gaze is painful.
But of course, everything could get worse.
The menu for that night? Fried chicken, Felix's favorite food. His father loves to buy it at these times precisely because he knows he likes it and to Minho everyday it’s a good day to spoil his son. But, apparently, at that moment Felix’s body doesn't seem to like it at all.
When Kibum places a portion in front of the blond omega, the smell is anything but welcome when it enters his nostrils. If his nausea during the day was due to nervousness, at this moment the nausea he starts to feel is undoubtedly due to the pregnancy.
The worst of all? He needs to disguise it. He needs to pretend that everything is fine before they think he is sick and his father wants to delve deeper into what is happening to him. So he tries to hold back.
It’s torture, every time he can't hold his breath and inhales the smell it causes him an unparalleled discomfort, making his mouth salivate bitterly. He feels the urges of his stomach, he feels like he is starting to sweat cold.
What he doesn't feel is the scent he’s exhaling.
It’s common knowledge for people that pregnant omegas give off a unique scent. It’s a scent that, without losing the basic characteristics of the omega's scents, ends up being more intense, strong and with particularities. This scent also ends up gaining the addition of some other aromas and odors depending on the omega's physical or hormonal reaction.
It’s also common knowledge for people that the pregnant omega isn’t the one who feels this different scent. This scent is a biological call for attention for the omega in vulnerable situations. When we say that it’s common knowledge, it’s also known to Felix, of course. He even followed his brother's first pregnancy closely, knowing very well how it works.
However, what happens is that at no time did he remember that he could go through this. So, while he concentrates on not throwing up the small amount of appetizers that he ate, he doesn't even notice the eyes at the table turning to him, especially from his parents who know very well what a pregnant omega can smells like.
The blonde’s vanilla scent has always been delicate, just the right amount, completely pleasant, harmonizing with the other notes of his scent. It was always what made his scent so unique and so good. But now, it's almost sickening. It's as if a stock of vanilla air fresheners had their bottles opened and that sweet treat was ready to give someone a good headache.
The floral and fruity part of his scent doesn't even seem to exist, being completely replaced by something sour that mixes with the strongest vanilla in the world. Little Minji wrinkles her nose when she feels the scent "Ew, why does Uncle Lix smell like that?" The little girl asks while everyone is left without reaction – either out of surprise or fear.
And it’s with his niece's voice that he comes out of his trance of someone who’s trying to stop the nausea. When he looks around he sees everyone's eyes on him and his legs tremble. The strength he was using to avoid vomiting is just gone.
Everything gets worse when he quickly locks eyes with Hyunjin who looks pale and with his lips half-open as if they had taken away all his ability to function. And then he feels the feeling of crying and the worst of nausea coming at once.
The only reaction he can have is to put one of his hands to his mouth, then get up and start running towards the bathroom leaving everyone in shock and Minji even more confused.
Kibum is the first to get up to go after the omega. There are no words for him to explain the confusion he’s feeling because he wants to be afraid, he wants to try to rationalize the situation and God knows what more, but the only thing he can do is get up to help his son.
However, when he is leaving the dining room in hurried steps, his husband's voice interrupts him. "Take him to the office as soon as he gets better." That’s the only words coming from Minho, who gets up too. Kibum just nods and goes to go after his son.
After the elders leave the room, a silence remains in the environment. Everyone is really too scared to say something. The only one who can react and break the stillness of the environment is Sengmin due to his concerns as a father. "Chris, take the children and their food to their room, please"
The alfa quickly begins to do what his husband asked without any verbal response. The only thing he does before leaving the room is tell to Minji to take her plate and look firmly at Hyunjin in an attempt to empathize before turning to the door with Jooyeon in one of his arms and his food in the hand of his opposite hand.
The next one who manages to say something is Lino. "I'm going to our room to… Get something," he says to Jisung as he stands up. The omega nods while keeping his eyes fixed on the empty space of the chair where his brother was sitting.
"I don't want to be that person, but like, we have to think about what we're going to do," Jeongin begins.
Changbin looks at him, "Since when did you know?"
The omega sighs, annoyed by the question. "I always suspected, I'm not as stupid as you think, you know? I'm old enough to understand this kind of situation, opposite of what you think," his answer is harsh.
Seungmin sighs in irritation. "This isn't the time for you two to be dramatic, okay? We have something more important to do. Hyunjin, you-" but he stops talking when he looks at the alpha sitting there. He's still motionless.
Pale and with his mouth half open, just like it was the last time he met Felix's gaze. His heart seems to be the only thing moving in his body, but it moves too much. It seems like it's going to explode with the voracity of its beating.
His mind is blank, trying to process what he just found out and then decide what to do. But he can't. There's not enough rationality to form a thought, it seems like his brain can't make a single one synapse. It seems like if he leaves that position and tries to move, he'll faint.
His state scares Seungmin and then, upon seeing the omega's gaze, the other three present turn to Hyunjin and share the same reaction. They don't even know if they should try to bring him back to reality.
In the bathroom, Felix throws up the little he had for dinner and all the liquid he tried to drink to hydrate himself after everything he went through during the day. His father holds his blond hair while stroking part of his head, trying to calm him down. The way he holds it’s affectionate, concerned.
To be honest, Kibum doesn't know what will happen next, but he knows that what he has to do above all is take care of his son, no matter what. In the end, he will find a way to solve everything, just like he has done the other times, even though he knows that everything will be much harder this time.
When it finally seems like the blond omega has gotten everything out of himself, his eyes, red from crying, look at his father and he starts to despair. "Dad..." he starts to cry.
The older omega hugs his son affectionately, trying to tell him that everything will be okay, even though he knows that at that moment nothing will calm Felix's despair. "We'll find a way, okay?" He tries to comfort the younger omega.
He knows his husband isn't a monster, he knows the man deeply cares for Hyunjin. It's not like this is a random mobster situation, his husband would never kill someone he likes the way he likes Hyunjin. What he fears is that for some reason the young alpha doesn't live up Minho’s expectations, and the two will have to part ways.
It's not hard to see that this would crush Felix mind, his desperate expression says it all.
Of course, he will do whatever it takes to make his little omega happy in the end, but he needs Minho to be understanding, and above all, he needs Hyunjin to truly be who he thinks he is and fulfill his part in this whole story.
A knock on the door draws the attention of both of them. When they look, Lino is standing there with a glass of water in one hand and some pills in the other.
"What's this?" Kibum looks suspiciously.
Lino smiles. "Calming pills for his body and hormones. He needs it, if he gets nervous like this it will harm the baby."
Raising an eyebrow, Kibum looks at his son-in-law. "And that won't harm?"
Lino has been in Hyunjin's shoes, and even though his solution was more... bold, he knows the moment will be mentally demanding for Felix. He's honestly positive about the situation, especially because he's been there before and knows Hyunjin, and he really trusts a lot in Hyunjin and his determination, but he knows it will be difficult, extremely difficult, for both of them.
It's easy to predict that everything will be an emotional rollercoaster, and honestly? Lino is afraid of seeing Felix's baby affected by his nerves and hormones because of what he might go through.
The alpha approaches the two and sits in front of Felix on the bathroom floor. "No, it won't. I made the tranquilizer to help our less experienced men on missions where they might get nervous, but without them becoming unfunctional. It's not the most powerful thing in the world, but it's natural and helps. And I made the hormonal stabilizer so our omegas don't run the risk of their hormones getting out of control on missions. It's not much different from traditional suppressants, it's just weaker and works just for a specific amount of time."
Felix's deer eyes watch his brother-in-law. Lino seems softer than usual, not soft in the silly way he is with Jisung, but there is something different about him.
Lino holds out his hand with the pills. "Do you trust me, Lix? You're nervous, you can probably get even more and that's not good for the baby. Let's try to take care of this little thing, okay?"
Smiling weakly, the blonde nods and takes the pills with the water the alpha brought. Lino is right, that whirlwind of emotions and hormones is not healthy for the little life inside him.
"Your father wants to talk to you, my dear," Kibum says carefully, "do you think you can do it?"
Being honest, Felix thinks he can't do anything anymore. He’s so weak, so nervous, so anxious. The only thing he wants to do at that moment is to look for Hyunjin and run away from there, find a way to protect him and live with him away from all the madness.
Unfortunately, he knows that’s impossible. Unfortunately, he needs to face his father. He has been waiting for Hyunjin to think of a plan for the two of them for so long, but maybe life is saying that he’s the one who has to do something. Maybe he's the one who has to protect his alpha. "I can do it, I'll go there."
There's only one idea in his head. An idea that will at least give them more time and he'll bet his chips on it. Hyunjin might not agree in the beginning, but he’ll make the alpha understand him. In this moment his focus has to be saving his beloved from his dad’s wrath.
He gets up with the help of his father and brother-in-law, who also help him clean his face and fix his clothes, and then they head to Minho's office. As he walks, he notices how much every part of his body is shaking.
As he passes through the dining room door to take the elevator to the floor below, his gaze meets Hyunjin's again, but from a distance this time. He can see how much of a mess the other must be internally. Sorry, Jinnie , he apologizes in his mind and his heart tightens.
In the exchange of glances, Hyunjin can sense Felix trying to tell him something. He doesn't know what yet, but he's almost certain the blonde has an idea in mind, and apparently he won't like it. This feeling begins to bring reality home to him.
"Okay, they're going to the office. We have to do something," Jisung says as he sees the three of them pass by, not even stopping to think about why his husband was there too.
Pinching the middle of his forehead trying to think of something, Seungmin sighs. "What the hell, we were preparing so well."
"Since when did you know?" Hyunjin finally manages to say something, which surprises the others there.
The three omegas in the room look at each other. "Binnie didn't know, the three of us found out yesterday with drugstore tests. We got the test results from the doctor this morning, to be more exact," Jisung explains.
"He was going to tell you today, at least that's what it seemed like after our conversation," Jeongin says, "that's why he was so nervous."
The alpha's heart sinks knowing that even for a short time Felix had to go through all of this alone. He wishes he could go back in time, notice some sign beforehand to prevent the omega from feeling this way without having him by his side giving him the support he needs, he deserves.
Felix is someone who needs to be taken care of and he thinks it's so wrong that he couldn't do this for him, especially in such an emotionally draining situation. I need to do something , he thinks.
Changbin's face is red with worry. He looks at Hyunjin. The older alpha has always been very fond of him and even more so of Felix, who has always been someone he has taken great care of. The only thing he can think is that he can't under any circumstances let something happen to the two of them. "I had an idea, it's kind of stupid, but who knows..." he says apprehensively.
The omegas look at him hopefully. At that moment, anything is valid. "What's your idea?" Seungmin says anxiously.
"Well, I can... I can say that I’m the father, to cover for Hyune"
The three of them widen their eyes. "What the hell?" Jeongin says indignantly.
Changbin sighs. "What I mean is that we need to get Hyune out of this, I say it was me, I'm sure my punishment will be much less than his. Then we'll see what to do for both of us"
"This is a joke, right? This has to be a fucking joke" Jeongin stares at him "you're an idiot, I don't even know what to say to this shitty hypocritical idea of yours"
"Jeonginnie, I-" he tries to answer the younger omega.
The voices seem to be too much for Hyunjin. He didn't even really consider what Changbin said, because it all just seems to be too much. There are too many emotions and stimuli making his whole body twist and his heart feel heavy.
The walls of the dining room seem to be shifting, moving closer, the space shrinking, and he's about to be crushed. The heavy air seems to be rushing in, inflating him and eventually making him explode.
He feels the seconds ticking by, the situation worsening, the rope about to snap. He needs to end this before it gets worse, before everyone's nerves get worse.
And as it gets worse, he thinks about what Felix is telling his father. He knows the omega too well, he knows he'll do anything to try to get Hyunjin out of this, he knows Felix would do crazy things to protect him and must be doing so right now. He must be finding a way to carry it all alone.
"I'm just saying that maybe if we make him believe someone else is the father, things might be simpler." Changbin sighs in frustration.
Someone else is the father . The phrase echoes in Hyunjin's mind for some reason. Oh , something seems to click in his head, he even thinks the click must even be audible to others. But he hates what just went through his mind, and apparently his alpha doesn’t like the idea too.
It's time for him to face it. "Bin, forget it. I'm going over there." he says standing up.
Jisung stands up to try to stop him. "Hyunjin, if you go there he'll kill you."
The alpha sighs. "Ji, it doesn't matter. I won't hide it, Felix is my omega, that's my child. Nothing else matters. I'll find a way, okay?" he argues.
When the omega is about to answer him, Seungmin grabs Jisung's arm. "Leave him, he's right. It's his right, Ji. We can't do anything, other than hope that everything works out."
Everyone looks at each other apprehensively, because they all know that the omega's words are right. No matter what they try to do, they can't stop Hyunjin's right to take care of his child, to take care of his omega, regardless of the risk. If this is his decision, they can only accept it and stand by him.
"That's it, Hyune," Chan says at the door. "I think it's the only thing we can do right now," the alpha smiles understandingly.
Jisung steps out of the alpha's way and lets him pass after a big sigh. He knows that Felix would rather die than see something happen to Hyunjin, but no one can stop him, so he just accepts the other's decision.
When he walks through the door, Chan pats him on the shoulder understandingly. "I'll go with you," the alpha smiles.
Chan's attitude calms him down a little. The alpha has been through this before, he understands Hyunjin's feelings. He knows how hard it is to put love aside in favor of genuine respect. He knows what it's like to be overcome by a feeling so strong that even your principles and gratitude are shaken.
Besides, Chan survived. Maybe that's a good sign for him, even though he knows well that his situation could be much worse.
At the same time that the conversation was happening in the dining room, Felix was sitting in front of Minho at his office desk. Kibum watches the two of them while he stands nervously near the door.
"My dear, I'm not mad. You don't need to be nervous, I just want to understand what's going on, how it happened" Minho says understandingly.
The problem is that Felix can't tell the truth, the last thing he can do is explain how everything really happened because the truth will make the alpha really mad. "It just happened, daddy. I didn't take care of myself and it happened" he says apprehensively.
His father looks at him. "Is he your boyfriend?"
Felix wishes he could answer yes. He really wanted to be able to tell the whole truth, but for Hyunjin he has to carry this story alone. "I... No daddy, it's not. It was someone casual, he doesn’t even know" he says, doing his best to sell the story. He’s not Hyunjin, but he was always pretty good in manipulate his father.
Minho runs his hand through his hair. "I need you to tell me who he is and I need you to tell him. You can't carry this responsibility alone."
Of course he'll want to do things the right way , the blonde thinks, because he knows how his father is. "Daddy, I don't want to involve him in this, it's not necessary. I can figure it out on my own," he argues.
"No, he had a hand in this too. The responsibility it’s not just yours, Yongbok. As a father, as an alpha, as the head of a family that values all family relationships and has this as a principle, I can't accept that you carry this alone. So I need you to tell him."
The omega sighs, he needs to make his father give up on the idea. "Look, daddy," but the sound of knocking on the door makes his heart race. He knows those knocks like no one else. It can't be, it can't be, it can't be , he mentally begs. Felix's entire plan begins to disappear from his head and despair begins to mess with his thoughts again, even though his body doesn't react in the same euphoric way.
Minho signals Kibum to open the door. He knows that no one in that house would interrupt that conversation if it wasn't something really important.
When the omega opens the door, he sees Hyunjin standing there, looking more nervous than Minho has ever seen him in the entire time they've known each other. He's intrigued. "Boss, I'm sorry to interrupt," the alpha says, "I came here because I know who the real father is," he says, entering and closing the door, as if he's sure of what Felix is doing – something he is, because he knows better than anyone how the omega's mind works.
The blond omega's eyes widens. "Hyunjin, no. Shut up, go away," his voice begins to tremble.
"Felix, I'm sorry, I know what you’re trying to do and I'm not going to accept this," the alpha argues without taking his eyes off Minho.
Hearing it, Felix stands up, even though his body feels strange. Light, maybe even calm, but without strength. He holds on to the chair for support. "Daddy, don't listen to him. Jinnie doesn't know what he's talking about." Felix's desperation betrays him.
Minho sighs. "Who is it then, Hyunjin?"
Kibum closes his eyes, not knowing how much he wants to see the scene. Felix begins to feel tears streaming down his face. Hyunjin sighs one last time as if he were ready to hold a heavy piano on his back, ready to be buried by it.
He approaches the table. "It's me, boss. I'm the father."
Minho doesn't even know how to react. Nothing the other alpha is saying seems to make sense in his mind. He doesn't even want it to make sense, he just wants to pretend he didn't hear Hyunjin's words. He doesn't want to feel betrayed by one of the people he trusted the most.
"Hyunjin, stop lying. Daddy, this isn't true," Felix says desperately, in tears. "Daddy, you can't believe him."
But his son's words don't match the seriousness on Hyunjin's face. His expression is so serious, so strong, so confrontational that there's no way to doubt his words. Of course, he could just be using his talent , but it doesn't seem that way. There's something about him as an alpha that shows this to be the truth.
"Lix, stop. It's okay, we don't need to hide it."
The blonde weakly stands up and walks towards him. His trembling hand holds the alpha's shirt and he looks at him pleadingly, not wanting him to say another word. It feels like several sharp objects are being stuck in Felix's heart, his world is being destroyed. "Jinnie... Please..." he cries.
But there is no going back and even if Felix's words try, his desperate actions make his words ineffective and the alpha will definitely not let that be hidden even if it costs him dearly.
Hyunjin feels like he wants to hug the omega, comfort him and make him stop crying by promising that everything will be okay, but he can't. The only thing he can do is commit to the truth and deal with the consequences, because he will never deny Felix, he will never deny their baby.
His gaze shifts from the omega's red and tearful face and he faces Minho with all his courage. He has never felt so firm within himself, even though that is one of the most terrifying moments of his life.
Minho quickly looks at Kibum and then looks back at the couple. "You two, sit down" he points to the chairs in front of him at the office table.
The couple does as they are told and sits quietly. The omega's restless hand searches for Hyunjin's. When the alpha feels how much he is shaking, he has to hold himself back so as not to break down and cry.
The older alpha watches them quietly. "So, since when did you know?" he asks Hyunjin.
"He didn't know anything, I only found out yesterday and I hadn't told him yet" Felix quickly intervenes.
"Yongbok, I asked Hyunjin and not you" he says quickly and seriously without even looking at his son. It is the first time Felix feels this cold attitude coming from his father.
This is something that fills him with fear, because he never dreamed he would hear his father talking to him like this. His father, who was always so delicate and attentive, is now icy. His words make Felix's whole body go cold.
"Boss, I really didn't know. I found out right then and there at the table"
"I see. And since when has this been happening" Minho continues.
Sighing, the younger alpha prepares to lay the whole truth on the table. "Months. Almost half a year already."
Minho's throat goes dry. He feels like a complete idiot. He should have seen the signs, but the only thing he saw was someone safe to hand his son, to help him take care of his darling son. He thinks about every time he accompanied Felix, that he was in charge of the blonde's safety a lot of times. Thinking about it, there were so many times when Minho basically threw him into the alpha's arms.
The omega's crying and sobbing get louder. "Daddy, it was me, I was the one who went after him. Hyunjin denied it so many times... But I... Please."
"Lix, stop. I wanted to, I did it because I wanted to. It's my responsibility."
Shaking his head, the older alpha looks at his husband. "And you knew?"
Without hesitation, Kibum nods. "I suspected it and on the day of Felix's heat I got confirmation."
The older couple's gazes meet briefly. Kibum tries to understand his husband's thoughts and tries to convey his own, pleading for him to calm down and not make any harsh decisions, to think at least a little longer before considering separating them.
And then Minho connects some dots and looks at the three in disbelief. "So all that nonsense from Jisung was to hide it? I should have suspected, but I always expect the best from you, don't I?"
"Daddy..."
The fingers of Minho's right hand tap the table in sequence, a sign of nervousness. He breathes, he thinks, he tries to be rational.
"You know, Hyunjin. I brought you into my house because I trusted you, I really did. I haven't trusted anyone this much since Chan. I gave my son into your hands several times and the only thing I asked was for you to take care of him and you said you would, but in the end the problem was you, wasn't it?" he runs his hands through his brown hair "I really am an idiot."
A torturous silence fills the room. The older alpha feels confused, he is so angry for having been deceived, but at the same time it is horrible for him to think of doing anything to Hyunjin and also hurt Felix. Not even when the problem was Chan did he feel this way.
To help, there is still the child in his son's womb. He just wanted to be happy to be a grandfather once again, but everything ended up being the worst of disasters. He wished he could just not care, but his every feeling and decision always means a lot and has a lot of consequences.
In the end, rules are rules and the mafia is the mafia. The younger alpha betrayed him. After all the trust, after he had put so much expectation on him, having placed him at the center of his life to take care of the people he loves, he was betrayed. He needs to understand himself and needs to decide what to do. "What is your vision of this child?" he asks Hyunjin.
The alpha has been quiet, nervous, and apprehensive since he walked into that office. Minho doesn't know exactly what his response will be, but he thinks he can at least think about what might be worthwhile or not based on what comes out of his mouth.
And to his surprise, the younger alpha laughs.
As soon as he hears the question, his expression changes completely, he smiles and starts laughing happily. "I'm so fucking happy, to be honest. You can fuck with me right here and now or whatever, and I'll still be happy. I love your son, boss, I really do, I wouldn't even be able to explain it to you and I really don’t care if you believe it, but if the last moments of my life are spent knowing that he and I made a life together... Wow, it's the best thing I've ever felt," he smiles at Felix.
Insane kid , Minho thinks surprised. Kibum almost laughs in his corner. There's not a hint of a lie in those words, the smile seems so sincere, even with his future threatened he really does seem so happy, it’s visible the shine in his eyes. If Hyunjin is faking it, Minho is sure that's his greatest act yet, because he can feel the truth in every word, in every smile. "Do you love him?" the alpha stares at the dark-haired man.
"Of course. That's why I'm here. No matter what happens to me, I won't deny it or keep hiding it. It's always been too much to hide, by the way."
And this seems true, Minho can understand that there's no other reason for him to be there, Hyunjin wouldn't put himself on the fire for nothing if there weren't a lot of feelings involved. Felix was trying to get him out of the mess, it was easy for him to just run away if he wanted.
The whole situation seems to only make Minho's choice worse. The genuine way the other alpha expresses his love for Felix, his happiness for the baby, all of this complicates the situation even further. It would be much easier for him to do something with an apprehensive, remorseful Hyunjin just like it happened in the last time with the alpha that he doesn’t even remember the name anymore.
Also, the way Hyunjin looks at Felix is so familiar, it seems like something he's felt before. Something he still feels every day. It's like he's looking at what guides his entire life, looking at someone that makes him instantly happy.
But rules are rules and the mafia is the mafia. "But you disobeyed me. More than that, you broke one of my rules, you betrayed me. Do you know what that means?"
"It means I betrayed the family, I betrayed the mafia."
"And this has consequences," the alpha says, but inside him everything is much more complicated.
The omega, who is still crying desperately, stands up. "I won't let you, dad. I love Hyunjin, you told me you would support me when I found the alpha I loved."
And he really did. Now the conversation he had that night with his son while he was watching the city starts to make more sense. He can't even understand how Hyunjin did it, but he really did win the young omega's heart, something that seemed impossible.
His son has always been strict with his high parameters, he hated most alphas, he was even disgusted. He was never enthusiastic about relationships, he didn't believe that one day he would be able to love. And now there he is, crying in despair for an alpha as if his life depended on the man by his side.
That's a lot and it says a lot about how Felix feels. He looks at Kibum again and remembers how it was the first time they saw each other. The way Kibum left a rich, honest family, a comfortable life to be a target of danger to be with him. He also thinks about how many times his omega said he would do it all over again and the way he says every day that he is happy.
"Honey, take Yongbok from here," he says to his husband.
Before moving, Kibum studies his husband's expression, wondering if he should intervene, but it's hard to read him. At the same time, he thinks Hyunjin is doing very well; he feels like maybe he should just keep trusting in God knows what Minho is doing, so he obeys.
When Kibum approaches, Felix stands up. "I'm not leaving. I'm not going to let you do anything to him... I..." then he feels his legs weakening, his heart slowing down, his mind seems to swim. His head remembers Lino and his medication.
The tranquilizer is probably taking effect, the room should probably be smelling of him, because of his nervousness. He should probably be vomiting by now. It's great, but it takes all his strength to stop all of this. Damn, fucking Lino, what is this shit . He looks at his hands stopping trembling.
Either way, he won't leave. He can't. So he uses his last bit of strength "If you want to do something to him, be brave and do it in front of me and I swear, Dad, that if anything happens to Hyunjin, I’ll do the same with me. I don't care what it is" he says, leaning on the table for strength.
Before Minho can respond to his son's words permeated by an easily identifiable anger, Hyunjin's voice pierces him. "No, Lix. Stop. It's okay. Don't say that, because no matter what happens here, you made me happy and I want you to remember forever that we were happy, okay?" he smiles softly.
Why do you always have to be like this? He thinks as he hears the other's words. The blonde looks at him with sadness and tenderness. He can't lose him. "Hyunjin..."
"Okay, okay. If that's what you want, Yongbok" Minho sighs "Honey, just help him move away"
The confused older omega obeys and begins to gently hold his son who no longer has any strength and takes him away from the office table leaving only the two alphas. He hugs Felix while they stand at the corner he has been since the beginning of the conversation.
And the two alphas stare at each other seriously. Hyunjin can't even imagine what's going on in his boss's mind, but it also seems like it doesn't matter to him anymore. The only thing he allows himself to do is beg internally not to be killed, because if he gets the chance, he'll fix everything.
Minho grabs a bottle of whiskey from the table, opens a container with ice and puts two in a glass to then fill it with the liquid. He takes a sip of the strong and thick drink with notes of oak in which it was aged and feels the burn in his throat.
One last time he analyzes the alpha.
One last time he sighs and thinks about how everything would be much simpler if Hyunjin were just another subordinate, but in these months he has really grown attached to the young man. He admires how sweet and attentive he is, how much effort he puts into everything he does and the fact that, until today, he has always been one of the most loyal people by his side.
To make matters worse, he knows how good the younger alpha's heart is. In the end, it doesn't surprise him that Felix has fallen in love with him and is crying desperately for that alpha. If he could create a good alpha for his beloved son, he would certainly be almost completely like Hyunjin, the only difference would be that he would be free from that disastrous life and could give Felix the best future.
The problem is this difference that exists between the real Hyunjin and the alpha he would choose for his son. Felix is gentle, delicate and full of emotions, he knows how much all of this has the potential to make his precious son suffer. His head hurts.
The problem is also the issue of authority: if he doesn't do anything about one of his big rules, the consequences could fall on his leadership. When it was Lino, people knew that Lino was crazy enough to not care about any authority, no other mobster wanted to compare to him, so in the end, they didn't even care. When it was Chan, well, it wasn't. He can't punish someone for being with his son, who was already up to his neck in the mafia. Chan is, ultimately, the best possible protection for Seungmin.
Now, Hyunjin is a complicated case. He's been hiding a relationship with his son this whole time. He's been inside Minho's house. On top of everything, there's the aggravating factor of being Felix. How could he let this betrayal go by without any impact on his own image?
But on the other hand, his son, whom he loves so much, asked him for support and he promised. Plus, there's the pregnancy. How could he kill the father of his own grandson? It's hard to think of what to do.
There’s so many questions. He takes another sip as the silence remains in the room.
Leaning against his father and holding him due to his weak legs, the blond omega looks at his alpha father in tears. "Dad, I love him. I really love Hyunjin and I swear, I swear that if you do anything to Hyunjin, you'll never see me again," his eyes are full of hate, "I mean what I said: if you send him away I'll disappear. If you kill him I'll kill myself too. It's a promise."
Hyunjin opens his mouth to respond himself, but the older alpha's voice comes out first. "No, Yongbok, you're not going to do any of that. You're going to survive, he's just another alpha," he says out loud. But it's an idea... He thinks.
He opens one of the desk drawers and then takes out an old model gun, very beautiful and very well preserved, and places it on the table in front of Hyunjin, who looks at it without knowing what to think. "It belonged to my father," Minho explains, "he gave it to me when I was fourteen and had learned how to shoot."
The older alpha smiles bitterly as he looks at the object. He hated his father. He always respected him, always followed his orders, was always grateful, but he hated him. That gun brings back terrible memories.
He takes another good sip of the strong drink. "An idiot, don't you think? Someone who encourages a child to shoot and then gives them a gun. An idiot mobster, he was so proud of our life, but I always hated it. I hated all that and that's why I always wanted to find a way to change, a way to get my children out of this, even though his orders were for me to never abandon it."
It's complicated, because Hyunjin can really understand him, he really agrees. It must have been a shitty life and he wouldn't wish that on the person he loves, the person he wants to take care of. In fact, he feels like an idiot for having been a problem in a caring father's attempt to give the best to his son.
"And everything was always ridiculous. He didn't even give me a choice. I wanted so many other things like a normal life, getting married, being a father, being an athlete, that kind of common dream. The only thing that always makes it worth it is that there is someone who wanted me and accepted the worst part of my life" he sighs as he runs his index finger over the gun "I'm a hypocrite, aren't I? Because I don't let them have a choice either, I'm unfair just like my father. But unfortunately life is like that, unfair"
He brings the gun closer to Hyunjin as if he were offering it to him. The younger alpha stares at the object thoughtfully, still not understanding what his boss is getting at.
"But I don't want to be unfair to you, Hyunjin. So I'm going to give you two options, I’m going to let you decide. This will be over just when you chose one of it" Hyunjin's gaze returns to focus on him, Minho looks inflexible "First I want to make it very clear that regardless of your choice, nothing will happen to your sister. I will keep my word and continue to protect her"
Those words already calms a lot of the alpha's fears, because whenever he thinks about a solution to his situation with Felix, the fear of something happening to Yeji is a factor that stops him when some ideas come up. If she is safe, everything becomes simpler for Hyunjin.
"Well, let's go to your options. In the first one, you go far away. Far, far away. You’ll stay alive far from here, somewhere I'll think later. But, this child will not exist and you will never see Yongbok again. He will have an abortion and keep with his life as if you never existed."
A horrible fear runs through Hyunjin's body. Just the thought of something happening to the baby in Felix's womb makes his heart beat in a painful rhythm of despair. For him, that’s worse than dying, so he prepares to intervene, but the other alpha continues.
"I'm not done, calm down" he notices how uneasy Hyunjin is with the option. "In the second one, Felix keeps the child. He gives birth and I promise they will have a great life. I will provide everything for both of them, but you die here and now, by your own hands"
So that’s my final alley, huh , he thinks seeing that’s no other way.
And the younger alpha's reaction is something that Minho really didn't expect. Hyunjin smiles, smiles genuinely. "So you want me to choose between me and my son, is that it?"
"You want to face it like this?"
Knowing that Minho is a man of his word, it doesn't take much for the young alpha to know that it's true, he will take care of Felix, Yeji and his child. So he doesn't even need to think, because in the end the choice is not as difficult as the other man made it seem. Of course, the best scenario would be for him to be able to live his life alongside Felix, alongside their baby, but unfortunately, that is not one of the options, and what his boss says, it’s what happens, there’s no reason to fight anymore.
"Lix" he says without looking back, because he doesn't want to see Felix's eyes so as not to weaken "I just want you to live and never forget that the best moments of my life, that the part of my life where I was truly happy, was with you and I really love you. Everything that I already said is real. Also, don't forget that you never were and never will be a regret to me, okay?" he sighs.
This is not enough for the blonde to understand where Hyunjin wants to go, what he will decide. It's just a farewell and in both options they have to say goodbye in some way, Felix only hopes with all his strength to Hyunjin not be foolish and thinks for at least a moment that if he saves himself, Felix can find a way to deal with the rest.
But unfortunately the alpha continues to speak."Take care of our child" he says and turns to smile for Felix one last time.
One last smile from the one Felix always loved. One last sign of love and affection, before showing the world that never, ever under any circumstances would he stop choosing who he loves, even if the other option was him.
And in a matter of seconds, without even giving the blonde time to think about what he heard, Hyunjin's hand is already on the gun that Minho placed in front of him. He brings it to the side of his head and without any hesitation he pulls the trigger. Felix screams his name as if it were the last word he would ever say in his life.
His throat hurts, but not more than his heart. It’s a loud, painful and desperate scream. Those outside the room probably heard it clearly. But, it is the only thing they heard, because it’s the only sound made in that room at the moment.
Only the trembling and loud voice of the desperate omega fills the room in a solitary way. There is no other sound, not even from the shot that Hyunjin just fired, nor from the bullet hitting his head with force, because that did not happen.
Yes, he made his decision, no he did not hesitate, yes he pulled the trigger, but the bullet did not come out.
Choi Minho, an alpha, an excellent species, a protective lion, one of the most feared men in his city, one of the biggest mafia bosses, but also one of the most sensitive and understanding men anyone could ever meet.
Maybe, he just needed to test Hyunjin one last time before making up his mind, to see that putting his own reputation at risk is something that is worth it. And, the lack of hesitation in pulling the trigger, choosing that baby’s life over his own, was enough for him.
There’s no more strength in Felix's legs, so he falls to his knees with his father trying to hold him so he doesn't hurt himself. Hyunjin's smile gives way to a look of genuine confusion.
Minho laughs and Kibum sighs happily because he always thrust his husband, but the tension was killing him. "How lucky you are, huh?" the older alpha takes the last sip of his glass of whiskey.
"It's empty" Hyunjin says “You were testing me.”
Minho signals for the younger to hand him the gun. "That's what you say. In the end, it might just be the universe saying it's not your time" he puts the gun in the drawer.
The blond omega breathes a sigh of relief as he cries. He searches for strength in his legs just enough to get up and go to his alpha who is there, alive.
Reaching Hyunjin, he hugs him tightly. Tighter than he has ever hugged him in his life. Feeling Felix's tears on his face, the alpha returns the hug with a relieved heart, because it seems that luck - and Minho - smiled on him. "It's okay, calm down, my love" he says to the blonde.
But the blonde can't answer him, he can only cry. He can't even imagine the state he would be in without Lino's sedatives, because even with them his body trembles and his heart is completely racing.
"That doesn't mean I've accepted everything, I need to think now," Minho says, "but for today, take Felix to rest. He needs it after all this."
Hyunjin smiles weakly at the alpha. "Okay, boss."
He stands up with the omega still stuck to him, Felix refuses to let go of his alpha for fear of something happening. He manages to fix the blond and hold him in his arms bridal style to take him away.
Kibum opens the door and smiles at the alpha before he passes. He knew his husband would never do anything to the young man, but it's good to know that everything is finally over and over again.
When the omega closes it again, Hyunjin can hear him outraged by saying that his husband is an unbearable drama queen and didn't need it all.
Hyunjin looks at the hallway that's full. Everyone else who lives in the house except the children is there.
Chan smiles relieved at him as he holds Seungmin's hand, who has an anxious look on his face. Jisung slides down the wall due to the weight coming off of him, Lino looks understanding. Jeongin lifts his head that was nestled in Changbin's neck who hugs him tightly, he has tears running down his face and then Changbin smiles when he sees the alpha carrying the blonde.
The walk to get into the elevator and through the hallways feels long, much longer than usual. The walls of the house feel strange, the floor feels soft, the lights seem different. He can't explain it, but the whole way, he smiles.
He smiles because everything is over. He smiles because his omega is in his arms. He smiles because the life they've made together is protected. He smiles because the chances of staying with the one he loves seem much bigger, the chance of them living their love seems real.
Calmly, he breathes in and out as he feels the small body in his arms, as he feels Felix's head resting against him, still giving small sobs.
When they arrive at the omega's room, Hyunjin gently places him on the bed. "Don't cry anymore, it's over," he says calmly.
Felix looks at him with red and swollen eyes, but nods.
And in the next second the dark-haired man is surprised by the punch he receives on the arm. It's weak and only draws his attention, because probably not even if Felix wanted to he would have the strength to do anything. "You're such an idiot, promise me you'll never do that again," the blond says.
"I'm sorry, my love, I just had to... Choose something. And I would never not choose," he looks at the belly of the messy-haired omega in front of him and smiles, "our baby."
"I don't care, I would run away, I would find a way, I..." he tries to argue with him, but stops when he realizes that Hyunjin is still looking at his belly with a smile. The omega laughs, "God... Yes, our baby."
After saying that, he lies down, smiling and lifts up the shirt he's wearing a little, exposing his belly to the alpha. Hyunjin's eyes shine happily and he brings his hand to his belly, which is still flat and without signs, but already carries a piece of his heart. "It feels like I'm dreaming," he smiles, "how did it?"
"Ji said I should have switched to a stronger pill or whatever, since you and I are both excellent species. I had no idea," he rolls his eyes.
The alpha then remembers the conversation he had with Lino before his rut. "Oh! So that's what Lino meant when he asked me if you were taking the right pills. I would never have guessed."
"I know, right? Who knows that?" The two laugh together.
"But what matters, Lixie, is that you gave me the greatest gift of my life. Like I said there, I would die happy," he slides his hand lovingly over the blonde's belly, caressing it.
Felix's small hand stays on top of Hyunjin's, following his movements. "Shut up, I don't care if you die happy or sad, you just can't die. You can't stay away from me."
"I know, I was just afraid and couldn’t think because of the pressure. I won't do it anymore, I’ll stay by your side, I promise. My omega."
He goes to Felix and kisses him tenderly. The omega reciprocates with all his love.
And there’s so much affection in that contact, so much happiness. It's like a glass of wine after an exhausting day, like a moment of sunshine on a cloudy day, like dessert on a sad day.
They feel like they are blossoming.
When they separate, they can't stop smiling at each other. "Are you hungry?" the alpha asks worriedly.
The blonde shakes his head. "I'm just exhausted, I just need a shower because I’m feeling gross. But Lino gave me some sedatives or whatever to calm down my body and let the baby safe and now I don't have the strength for anything else, I think."
That smart Linx , the alpha, thinks, "Come on, I'll help you."
Carefully, he takes Felix to the bathroom and gets in the shower with him to help him bathe. The hot shower works wonders for the two of them, who really needed to relax. He takes the opportunity to sweetly caress the omega while soaping him, while the water runs over both of them. It’s good, it’s perfect to close that day.
And Felix finally manages to stop his tears, and his nervousness seems to wash away.
So, on that turbulent night, when it finally falls silent and seems at peace, they cuddle in the warm bed, letting their bodies relax together into a deep, strangely calm sleep. Just them and their baby in Felix’s womb, the blonde now happy and purring.
The next morning, after sleeping for hours, Felix finally wakes to a delicious smell of food in his room. He grumbles and tosses around in bed like a cat until he has the strength to open his eyes. When he finally does, he sees Hyunjin smiling as he watches him. "Good morning, my kitten."
"Good morning, Jinnie." he smiles, stretching.
"Lino brought you breakfast, he made it himself."
The blond sits up and looks confused. "He made it? It looks good" Lino is great at cooking, but it's not like he's always been willing to do it for anyone other than Jisung or himself.
Hyunjin nods "Yes, he did. He said you shouldn't stress out and that you have to... Feed the kitty well," the alpha laughs.
The omega laughs too, "Oh my god."
"Yeah," Hyunjin rolls his eyes mockingly, "but he's right. In fact, we need to think about your health. We're going to make an appointment for you to see a doctor this week to understand your situation and work on your habits ” he says in a serious way because he knows that Felix goes easy from eating nothing to eating sugar bombs and this is terrible for a pregnant omega. “ We need to take care of everything, know what you should eat and all that. I want you to have a healthy pregnancy."
Felix sighs and shakes his head. "I can already see you're going to be a pain in the ass."
"And I will, starting now. Come on, time to eat." He motions for the omega to come closer.
Playfully, the other sticks his tongue out at him. "Calm down, I need to go to the bathroom first."
And their morning passes easily, the two of them doing nothing much, just smiling and caressing each other and hoping that time in that room will stop so they won't have to worry about anything else.
However, as time passes, Hyunjin starts to feel a little bit numb because of an urge, an anxiety that he can’t exactly explain. He knows that at some point Minho will want to talk to them, and even though he's alive, even though he was tested and passed, he's afraid of what might happen.
His chest cries out for it all to end, so he can just stop worrying and enjoy Felix and their child, who is being gestated in that beautiful belly decorated with a piercing that has always made him feel shivers of desire. He just wants to be able to say once and for all without fear that Felix is his, he wants to be able to state unequivocally that they are together and nothing will separate them.
He wants... to finally claim his mate. He really wants to claim his mate, and every time he looks into those round eyes and runs his hand over the belly where their child is, his alpha screams more and more for it to happen. It seems like a voice begins to whisper in his head, telling him to make Felix his forever.
It's a desire that's always existed, always been there, but always kept in check by the secrecy they lived in. However, now nothing needs to hold him back.
And this pokes at his head more and more. And this puts him in a trance about the possibility. Why not? He asks more and more to himself and he can’t find an excuse to stop himself, everything makes it seem like an amazing idea.
Felix is talking about something, smiling, while stroking his belly – a habit he seems to have developed quite quickly. Hyunjin watches him with intensity, his heart racing, something lodged in his throat, making his breathing heavy.
His alpha is growling, pleading for something.
Until then he opens his mouth without realizing it, until the words come out of him without him even noticing. "Lixie, I want to claim you."
The blonde looks confused and shocked because it came out of the blue, but after seconds, he laughs. "Okay, did I miss something?"
The alpha realizes what he said on impulse, then blushes in embarrassment. "No... it's just..." He doesn't even know what to say to explain.
But you want it, don't you? The voice keeps whispering to him, just tell him, he's your omega, you have to do it, so just tell him . He looks like he's about to break out in cold sweat. The blonde watches him intrigued with a smile on his lips, his heart pounding as he tries to decide between telling the truth and avoiding the subject.
In the end, he chooses the truth. "It's just that, fuck… The more I look at you, the more I listen to you, the more I want it... Ever since we first had sex, I've wanted this, I crave it like crazy. It's something that stays in my mind for days and almost drives me crazy every time I smell you. I used to control myself because of our obstacles, but my God, Felix, now that this doesn't exist anymore, and it seems like everything is moving towards making me want you even more. Like, I love you, I want to build our family, I want to be the only one in your life, I want you to be the only mine. I want to be by your side every day, I want to protect you always, love you always, worship you... Jesus, I don't even know how to explain it, it's just... It's too much, it's just too much, and fuck, I don't know what to say to you… I know I sound crazy and I know I'm being completely pathetic because of how much I love you, because of how crazy I am about you…"
His hands are shaking, his head is in a whirl, the words come and go unfiltered, yet they don't express enough what he really wants to say, even saying a lot. It's all so confusing, yet so real. He just hopes Felix understands him at least a little. He doesn't have to accept or agree, but he really wants the other one to at least understand a little of the feelings that led him to say that.
Felix laughs. He laughs and then kneels on the bed, level with his alpha's face, and silences everything that still wants to come out of him with a kiss to show Hyunjin he understands, and more: to say he accepts.
"Do it," the omega says against the alpha's lips, mischievously as always. "Claim me, my alpha."
His gaze is full of certainty. Hyunjin knows it's true, and knows his omega wants it. So he grips the omega's waist tightly and pulls him toward him to begin the quest to achieve the peak of pleasure that will deliver the perfect moment for them to finally make the final connection.
And later, after loud moans, hard bites and vows of love, Hyunjin finds himself sitting on the side of the bed, Felix on his lap while the alpha moves him up and down on his hard member as their bodies begin to build their orgasm.
Felix releases his pheromones even more as he moans deliriously. The dark-haired man's scent intensifies even more as he holds the omega’s hips firmly in his lap with one hand and begins to jerk him off with the other. He knows it's coming.
He licks the back of Felix's neck and feels his sweet taste, he’s already tempted by the scent glands there. He earns a moan. The blond man throws his arms back and grabs Hyunjin's dark hair trying to get him even closer. "Please, my alpha, please."
Their movements are messily synchronized, it's as if their bodies have fallen into perfect chaotic alignment, and they don't even need to try to move at the same time, everything happens automatically. It's a unique connection that is ready to be elevated to another level.
They feel so alive knowing the fulfillment that awaits them. Now nothing and no one will be able to separate them. They will never be complete without each other anymore, whether physically or emotionally.
They came back to their paradise from which the dark part of life tried to expel them, and now their name will be engraved on every tree, their scent mingled in every flower, their warmth in every corner. It's theirs and no one else's.
They belong to each other and no one else's just like they wanted.
And it's with this thought that the pulses of their climax run through their bodies, and Felix feels his alpha's teeth penetrating his skin, tasting the glands that emanate the sweet scent he's known for.
It's not painful, it's pleasurable. It's another unique sensation that only Hyunjin has been able to present to him. He screams and cums, he cums and smiles, he smiles and feels the other fill him with hot cum. It's insane.
The alpha licks the spot after finishing biting and ends with a kiss.
He’s still panting, his mind is still in a mix of frantic and paralyzed due to orgasm, due to mating. However, he needs to do more, even more, so not bothering to pull out of the smaller man, he rolls him onto his back on the bed and looks into his beautiful eyes. "Marry me," he says, struggling for breath.
Felix smiles. "Yes.” he says without hesitation “You're so full of desires and craziness today, but if it's to make you even more mine, yes, yes to everything. My alpha," the blonde replies without a second of hesitation, still feeling the pulses coming from the mating bite mark. "I love you, I love you so much, my love." He kisses the alpha in his arms and smiles.
"I love you too, more than you can imagine."
Just as they're about to start another kiss, a knock on the door interrupts them. The two look at each other, startled, and laugh. "Who is it?" Felix asks.
"It's me, Jisung. Daddy wants to talk to you."
The two look at each other and swallow hard. Unfortunately, reality catches up with them again. "Tell him we're going soon. Twenty minutes," the omega shouts from the bedroom, signaling for the alpha to run to the bathroom to clean themselves before going to talk to Minho because they scented each other a lot.
Minho sits in his office chair, spinning thoughtfully, then spinning again and again. "Stop spinning this damn chair," Kibum says, sitting across from him.
The alpha looks guiltily at his husband. "Sorry, I'm nervous."
Looking at his husband, the omega laughs. "Calm down, why are you nervous? Those two should be the ones nervous, but they even asked for twenty minutes because God knows what they were-" His speech is interrupted by a knock on the door.
Settling in his chair, Minho prepares to see the couple. "Come in."
Felix and Hyunjin enter the office quietly, with apprehensive expressions. "Hi, daddies," the omega says weakly.
"Kibum, Boss." Hyunjin bows in greeting.
"Sit down." Kibum points to the chairs next to him.
A slightly awkward silence lingers in the room. The older omega stares at his husband, who stares back at him as if afraid to say anything. Felix and Hyunjin stare at the table with their heads down. It's suffocating.
The sound of the wind coming in through the window and moving the curtains seems to be the only brave one wanting to be noticed in the room, as even their breathing is silent.
Unable to bear it any longer, Kibum rolls his eyes. "Are you going to talk or not?" he says to his husband.
"I will... Of course," he clears his throat. "You know, I thought a lot about this whole situation yesterday, about everything I discovered. It was a lot, you know? I felt betrayed by someone I trusted." He looks at Hyunjin. "I felt bad because once again I couldn't stop my son from having a life that goes beyond... this." He sighs.
The alpha's hands seem to move to grab a cigar and see if he gets more nervous, but when he sees Felix and his hand resting on his belly, he gives up, then picks up his bottle of whiskey on the table.
He pours a glass for himself, a glass for his husband, and one for Hyunjin. He distributes it "It was shocking, I won't lie. I felt angry, I felt sad. I went to bed frustrated, with my head full. But this morning I woke up a little more relieved. Not enough, but a little more, so I called Chan and some subordinates to run with me to ease my mind, and wow, a lot of things started to make sense."
Hyunjin can't understand what this will lead to, and this makes him apprehensive. He takes a sip of the strong, heavily alcoholic liquid to try to relax and continues to watch the older alpha, waiting for what will come next.
"So when I got home, I was more relaxed. And I remembered when I was young, younger than you. When I was in college dreaming of being an athlete. I was part of several sports clubs, and I was good at it, but in the end, I knew it meant nothing because I had a destiny already chosen for me. I also wanted to live, to have a family, but I also thought it wouldn't happen the way I wanted, because if I fell in love with an omega, there was a high chance he wouldn't want to get into this mess with me. I thought I'd have to settle for an arranged marriage to have an heir."
At that moment, Kibum is the one who took a sip of the drink, watching his husband, finding him both cheesy and romantic.
The alpha continues with his story. "So, one day the athletic team had to do an interview with the school newspaper, and the omega they put in to interview me was... Complex. He criticized everything about me: my running shoes, my socks, my tacky t-shirt, saying my body was a waste in those hideous clothes."
The older couple laughs together at a memory that seems very fond and dear to both of them. "The pants at least made your ass look nice."
"At least that," he shakes his head, "for some reason I couldn't get that omega out of my head and went after him even though I couldn't. I think you can understand the feeling, right?” he smiles “And it was just to discover that he thought I was an idiot, a team jock with an empty head. He was… Difficult. It took me months to get him to accept to be with me after games and parties, and he still said he wanted me just because I had nice arms."
Felix scratches his head, wishing he were one of the people drinking whiskey at the table to get through Minho's sappy story, but he just stays quiet.
"And I fell in love, you know? For real. And one day I had to tell him everything about my life to give him the option to leave me before we got more involved."
The blond omega's parents look at each other and smile. "But you were lucky to have found a crazy omega."
"Exactly. He wanted to stay, and I thank the universe for that every day. He helped me realize some dreams and find the strength to pursue others. And this is indescribable to me. I can't even express how lucky I was to find that omega who criticized everything about me, but who at the end of the day always gave me a beautiful smile." He takes another sip, the curtain flutters in the wind and rustles again. "And even though I thought that Felix could have a less dangerous, less uncertain future, remembering that, I understood that he couldn't have a happier one away from you, Hyunjin... I don't want to stop this. I want, above all, my son to be happy. And that’s it"
The two young men sitting across from the alpha raise their heads at the same time, smiling simultaneously, a reaction of hope and happiness. They feel that luck has smiled upon them.
"For real? Boss, is it serious?" Hyunjin says excitedly.
"Yeah, it’s serious."
The blonde runs his hands through his hair, barely believing what he's hearing. "Oh my god, Daddy... This is..."
"But I have demands," the alpha interrupts him.
Sitting up in his chair, the younger alpha positions himself to listen attentively. He'll accept anything if he can keep Felix. "Anything, boss, just say the word."
Minho nods. "Okay. First, I want you to promise me that you'll do everything you can to protect my son and give him the best life. You'll be by my side until the end so we can change the business and get Felix out of this."
"Of course!" Hyunjin says quickly. "I want Lix to have the best life possible, and I'll do everything I can to make it happen, I swear. I really want to help you change things. I already wanted to before because I'm grateful to you, I respect you, and above all, I agree with you. Now I want it even more. I want to give Lix and our baby the best life possible."
The alpha smiles at the younger man's excitement. He knows Hyunjin well and knows how sincere it is, how real his desire is. "I trust you will. And second, I want you to do this right. Felix is pregnant, you love him for what you're showing me, so you have to prepare to do things right: get married and mate."
The younger couple looks at each other. Felix can't help but laugh, leaving his parents confused. Hyunjin clears his throat. He really doesn't know how the two of them will react to the fact that they just did that "Uhhh… About this, boss, we..."
"We already mated," Felix says bluntly, and Kibum looks at him in shock. Minho's mouth drops open. "And we're also engaged."
The older omega chokes on his own saliva. "What? When?"
Felix's expression is one of satisfaction. "Earlier today, before we came here, actually."
Standing up, Kibum goes behind his son and brushes the blond hair from his nape.
And there it is, red, bright, and clearly fresh enough that he knows if he touches it, it will be hot. The mating bite mark. "Oh my god," he says in surprise, because that's something he never thought he'd see in Felix.
He stares at his husband, who after a few seconds sinks into the leather chair he's sitting in. Minho starts laughing. "I have no words." He throws his head back, laughing even harder. And there's nothing more he can do. His son made his own decisions, and just as he promised, now the only thing he'll do is support him. "Okay, then we're done. Now, Yongbok!"
"Yes, Daddy."
"Come here, I want to see my grandson."
The blonde laughs in disbelief. Of course, now that all the madness is over, his father will go into doting grandfather mode without a second thought. Well, time to be pampered , he thinks, and stands up, walking over to his father.
Smiling, he shows his belly, which still shows no sign of pregnancy, but which somehow clearly shows that there's a life inside. He and his father smile at each other, the alpha placing his hand on his son's belly. "Grandpa can't believe another little angel is coming," he says in a silly voice.
The older alpha appears genuinely happy. After all that chaos, he can put the whole scene and drama aside and enjoy the fact that one of his sons has given him another incredible gift.
And after Minho had a good time chatting with his grandson inside Felix's belly, the office door opens abruptly and Lino appears serious. The alpha crosses his arms. "It's already past two in the afternoon." The four in the office look at him in confusion. "Felix is pregnant, he needs lunch. Being hungry isn't good for the baby."
The alpha is right, which made the four look at each other, agreeing with him but finding the situation weird.
"Yes, he's right. Felix, you need to eat," Kibum said. "Let him go, he has to go eat," he told his husband, who nodded and quickly stood up.
So, the four began to leave the room together, following Lino. However, after a few steps, Hyunjin grabbed Felix's hand. "You guys can go ahead, I just want to get something from Lix’s room."
Lino arched an eyebrow at him. "You have five minutes."
The two walked quickly toward the stairs to the blonde's room. As they enter the room, the alpha pulls Felix into a kiss. He wants to celebrate, he wants to show his omega how happy he is that everything worked out, how fulfilled he is knowing that from that day on, they'll be able to live the life they wanted.
Holding the blond omega by the waist, he lifts him slightly off the ground without stopping the kiss. Their warm mouths move together until all their breath is gone, and then they finish with a smile.
Gently, Hyunjin sets Felix down but keeps hugging him. "Now I have to buy you the most beautiful engagement ring in the world, so everyone can look at your hand and see that you're taken." He kisses the omega's forehead.
"Finally, will my possessive alpha fulfill his desires about everyone knowing I'm yours?" the blond teases.
Hyunjin's reaction is a smirk, and surprises Felix with a simple and direct answer. "Yes, I'm looking forward to it."
The doe-like eyes of the freckled blonde in front of him look at him with surprise, almost pride. A satisfied smile joins his gaze. "That’s my alpha, hot and possessive in the way I want." He gives Hyunjin a deep kiss. "God, I love you."
Without even believing how everything worked out, the dark-haired man smiles once again, he opens another of the many smiles he has ready for the rest of his life now that he finally has what he wanted most. "I love you too, my omega."
And right then and there, Hyunjin is the happiest alpha in the world. He feels so accomplished when he never thought he would, he feels so happy for having accidentally found something he had already given up looking for and he thanks God for the two riskiest choices he's ever made, because they truly paid off.
The first, the decision to believe in the idiot he met at the market who led him into this confusing and chaotic world, but who paved the way for him to meet the omega of his life. The second, made by his hormones and his horny mind when he saw for the first time those blue booty shorts covering the most beautiful ass in the world, that made him pursue that omega who messed up everything in his life in the best way possible
Thank God, he never regretted a thing. Thank God, he allowed himself to love regardless of his fears and accepting his instincts. And now, it’s time for him to live the life that he can have just with Felix, just with his omega.
