Chapter Text

Hoseok knocked impatiently on the door of the room. Ten minutes had passed but the person inside still didn't answer him. Meanwhile, Changkyun was busy watching the waiters passing by.

"Yes?" The door opened in the next minutes, exposing the male alpha wearing a bathrobe. Looks like that person just finished taking a shower. He combed his wet hair while looking at Hoseok and Changkyun with his chin tilted and his sight down. The pheromones around him make his existence feel so intimidating.

"Woh, you look even sexier right now, Hyunwoo." Hoseok said and was surprised by his own words.

"What the hell, Hoseok?"

"I mean, you look different. Your presence is stronger than before. Don't you notice it? Right, Changkyun?" Hoseok shifted his gaze to Changkyun who was busy watching the hotel hallway. Since becoming pregnant, Changkyun has been paying more attention to those around him. Like putting up an invisible shield to protect himself.

Changkyun nodded, "Hyung, how about Kihyun? I want to meet him." It seems Changkyun was more interested in meeting his omega because that was the first time they met. He was curious about what kind of omega Kihyun is always talked about.

"Come in," Hyunwoo invited the two of them to enter the room. The smell of vanilla musk lingered inside the room. "Kihyun is inside. He's still a little sensitive because his heat period has just ended."

The couple entered the hotel room casually. The two of them were shocked when they saw the mound of clothes on the bed—and Kihyun buried in those clothes—it looked like a nest. Usually the mated omega made nests using their alpha’s items when the alpha was not present around them—but nowadays it was very rare for an omega to make nests because most of the omega out there weren’t treated well by their alpha so their inner sense of belonging wasn’t formed. Hyunwoo left Kihyun almost all day in the room to meet his staff and Kihyun whined all day in the nest waiting for Hyunwoo to come back. Hyunwoo was very busy that day because they were preparing the best facility to invite the people that Hyunwoo and Hoseok would meet. Because the omega had just finished going through the heat period, Hyunwoo didn't allow him to go around.

"Hyunwoo, who is it?" Kihyun peeked, his eyes caught the presence of Hoseok and an omega he didn't recognize. His stomach looked a little bulging—Kihyun could tell that omega was pregnant from his scent around him. Omega can recognize other pregnant omega’s pheromones.

"It's Hoseok and my brother Changkyun. Get out of your nest and greet them." Hyunwoo went back to the bathroom and dried himself.

"Changkyunie?"

"Hello, Kihyun. Thank you for being my brother's omega. I hope you are happy with him." Changkyun smiled. He looked so mature even though he was much younger than Kihyun. There was a pair of dimples when he was smiling. He looks very attractive for an omega—Kihyun tried to imagine the faces of both Hyunwoo and Changkyun's parents. They must be so beautiful.

"No. I'm the one who should say thank you. You've saved me."

Kihyun got out of his nest and approached Changkyun. After hearing the story from Hyunwoo, Kihyun felt sympathy for him. It must be tough being an omega who was born into the Alpha family. Kihyun didn't want to imagine what happened to Changkyun in the past. He pulled Changkyun to sit on the sofa. His hand grabbed another omega’s belly and caressed it carefully. They chatted and got along quickly.

"So, when did he come?" Hyunwoo came already wearing full formal clothes. Kihyun helped to style his hair upwards to make it look more masculine and neat.

"In an hour. We must be able to convince him, Hyunwoo. Because I still do not understand his motive for willing to help us."

Hyunwoo nodded. After that, he ordered the two omegas to dress up because they had to be present with them. They were both assigned to be able to familiarize themselves with their omega’s guest.

~~oOo~~

It didn't take an hour to see the guest arrive. He did not come alone. Several beta bodyguards followed behind him. That person's appearance was too eccentric yet classy. His eyes were narrow but very sharp and his hair was dark orange. He looked so intimidating that even Kihyun could feel his presence was so strong. He sat worriedly beside Hyunwoo and hugged his big hand.

"Hello, gentlemen." He sat on the long sofa in front of the four of them. His leg was folded over his other thigh.

"Nice to meet you, Mr Lee." Hyunwoo woke up and tried to shake hands with him, followed by Hoseok. Whereas the omega only bowed their heads respectfully.

"Just call me Jooheon. I don't really like formalities."

Lee Jooheon—that name sounds familiar to Kihyun. During the relaxing session during the heat, Kihyun asked Hyunwoo many things, especially about the people they would meet. Lee Jooheon was one of the top artists who are influential in the alpha community because his family was one of the families that builds the alpha community and has a great influence from generation to generation in Korea, especially the city of Seoul. Hearing this, Kihyun was so worried. If Lee Jooheon was an important part of the ruler of the community, didn't that mean he agrees with the current rules and social judgments? He might even be the one who contributed to making all those rotten rules. But why would that person named Lee Jooheon cooperate with them? Was this a trap?

"You are too kind." Hyunwoo replied with a smile. As much as possible they wanted to build a good relationship with the alpha Jooheon.

"You look different from the last time I saw you—you look even more intimidating and full of confidence. Is it because of your omega’s influence?" The two sharp eyes moved towards Kihyun. His lips grinned. Kihyun didn't know what kind of feeling he felt when those eyes looked at him. But another sharp gaze he gave in return to the alpha who glared at him. Jooheon burst out laughing. "Looks like it is. Omega is an interesting creature."

Kihyun realized what he had just done. Stupid , even though he was supposed to build good relationships but Kihyun tried to damage it instead—he didn't know since when he had become so brave again. Hyunwoo rubbed Kihyun's back when he realized his omega’s body was getting tense and restless.

"Right. Therefore I ask for your help."

"Of course I'm willing to help. So far, there are so many female alphas who want to make me their side." His eyes were fixed on the distance. Waiting for someone to come.

"Excuse me if I offend you, but is there any specific reason why you are willing to go against the community?" That's the question Hoseok wanted to ask from the start. The answer was determining whether Lee Jooheon was the right partner who can be trusted. To be able to contact Lee Jooheon, Hoseok risked many things from money, time and also trust. Doing all of these things was not easy, especially since the motive of the person concerned couldn’t be confirmed. So far, Hoseok and Hyunwoo have heard rumors from female alpha informing them that Jooheon was willing to help.

"Of course the reason is because of that annoying chatty person." Everyone who was there turned their head to look at Jooheon’s line of sight. A very charming male omega appeared. His hair was blonde and slightly longer than Kihyun's. His skin was pale white like the descendants of the vampires in the film. He walked so confidently towards Lee Jooheon and sat beside him. His lips briefly kissed Lee Jooheon's cheek and dimples. His eyes caught the presence of Kihyun and Changkyun. His lips have character and give him a distinctive smile. He was so attractive especially when blinking—He has an uneven blink. Besides, he has his own signature aura—not all omegas has it.

"Hello everyone." He greeted them. "My name is Minhyuk. I know you guys are fascinated by me right now. But unfortunately, only Jooheon can touch me." His fingers played with Jooheon's hair. He wasn’t like most of omega—his confident speech and body language attracted attention. He wore super luxury clothes that matched his perfect physique. His fingers were slender and long. His lips were light red. "Whatever it is, Jooheon is the best so you don't try to act stupid if you want to cooperate with us."

Hyunwoo and Hoseok chuckled. So this is Lee Jooheon's omega which is always the topic of conversation. Indeed, he was something. Even Hyunwoo and Hoseok could see his great influence on Jooheon's presence in front of many people. The blonde omega did not hesitate to speak in a pressing tone to the two alphas in front of him.

However, the blonde omega’s intimidation didn't apply to Kihyun. He looked at the omega in disgust. Especially when he grinned at Kihyun and gave those uneven blinks.

~~oOo~~

"I want to poke those eyes of that omega named Minhyuk. Does he think because he has blonde hair and those uneven blinks that makes him the prettiest there? No." Kihyun hugged and wrestled inside Hyunwoo's chest, while beating him irritably. At that time, they were lying on the bed. Hyunwoo tried to calm Kihyun by giving him a kiss and a hug. The meeting ended in an annoying way—the omega named Minhyuk walked up to Kihyun and said that Kihyun was a boring and unattractive omega. He didn't want to hang out with Kihyun.

That was the first time Kihyun looked so annoyed and cranky. Hyunwoo did not think that the omegas also had a sense of competing with each other to get the spotlight. If only in this world there were no social inequalities, maybe the omega would shine like the superstars.

Hyunwoo laughed, "I know you don't like him but you have to get along with him. He has a big influence on all of Jooheon's behavior. He's a smart and manipulative omega."

"But he said that Jooheon guy is the best alpha. No, Hyunwoo is the best alpha ever." He pouted. Every day, Kihyun's behavior was getting cuter. It seemed that the trauma and fear when they first met were lost in the middle of the earth. He began to express his feelings a lot and give colors around him. Hyunwoo finally understood that omega isn’t just beautiful because of their physique but their personality can also entertain the alpha.

"Could he be the best?"

Kihyun snorted, "No. You are the best of the best."

"Of course. Thank you." Hyunwoo answered with his trademark chuckle laugh. His lips kissed Kihyun's forehead several times. His omega chuckled in amusement.

"Hyunwoo, Is everything gonna be alright?" Kihyun asked. His eyes were filled with worry. Kihyun knew that fighting a group of strong people was not that easy. Kihyun had tried it before.

"Of course. Don't worry. If something happens, would you help me then?"

"I will for sure!" Kihyun cupped Hyunwoo's cheeks and kissed his lips playfully. Hyunwoo replied slowly to his kiss. Both of them tasted the sweetness of the kiss with a smile. Their faces got closer to each other as their kisses deepened. Hyunwoo's hand went under Kihyun's shirt and caressed his smooth skin lovingly. He tried to build a sensation of passion slowly. Kihyun growled as those lips dominated him. Hyunwoo's body crawled over and went on top of him. Bringing their kissing sessions more intense and sensual with their bodies rubbing against each other. He was playing with his omega’s neck, giving so many love kisses there. The beautiful neck always pulled him to do more, especially when the seductive scent wafted into his nose. Kihyun pressed his body with his alpha, signaling an invitation.

"Do you wanna ...?" Kihyun's cheeks flushed red when Hyunwoo asked it between their kisses. He nodded and pulled Hyunwoo closer. And that night became a night full of desire, passion and love.

~~oOo~~

Morning came and Kihyun's world felt more comfortable. His hand pulled Hyunwoo towards the hotel restaurant as his stomach roared with hunger. He pranced happily on the way to the lobby. Hyunwoo was happy to see Kihyun who was acting spoiled and cheerful.

"I want to eat chicken, Hyunwoo. Hurry up!" But his footsteps stopped in front of the restaurant door when he saw an omega named Minhyuk having breakfast alone—but he was accompanied by some beta bodyguards who Kihyun met yesterday from a distance. Lee Jooheon and his entourage stayed at Hyunwoo's hotel and could enjoy all the facilities as one of the entertainment that Hyunwoo gave to the artist while in Jeju.

Hyunwoo noticed Kihyun's thoughtful figure. As if he understood what his omega was thinking, he gently pushed Kihyun's back, directing him to get closer to Minhyuk. "Go on. Just be yourself." And Kihyun nodded slowly. Kihyun approached the blonde. Hyunwoo watched the two of them from a distance.

"Hey, Minhyuk wasn’t it?" Kihyun says hello. The blonde man turned his head unwillingly. He returned to dipping the fries in the sauce. His plate was still quite full. It seemed he was just about to eat breakfast.

"Yes." He looked at Kihyun and gave his flagship wink. "My, my. Aren't you that boring omega?"

Kihyun ignored his words. "Can I sit next to you?" Kihyun shifted the chair and sat down as fast as possible before the blonde even nodded. Minhyuk sighed when he saw it. Actually, he did not like to chat intimately with anyone other than Jooheon and he didn't even greet the bodyguards who accompanied him—another matter, when he wanted something.

"What do you want? Does your alpha tell you to be kind to me?" He snorted, half laughing at his own question. In fact, Minhyuk could guess that the omega he just met yesterday was ordered to approach him as a form of strategy for promoting cooperation.

Kihyun ignored Minhyuk's question, instead he was busy choosing the breakfast menu he would order and called the nearest beta waiter. Like his initial intention to come with Hyunwoo, he wanted a chicken breakfast menu. Hyunwoo said he could order whatever and as much as he wanted because during the heat period, Kihyun's food intake drastically reduced. Hence, he felt so hungry all the time. Until the menu that Kihyun ordered came, he didn't answer Minhyuk's question at all. He even took the blonde's potato at will, acting like a close friend.

"Why do you say I'm not attractive?" Kihyun looked at the blonde with a challenging look. Minhyuk raised his eyebrows in surprise, as if Kihyun's question was obvious.

"Because you are stupid."

"What!? I'm not stupid!" Kihyun raised his tone in one scale. After noticing the people around him were turning their sight to them, Kihyun pretended to be busy with his food. He remembered that he had always called himself stupid and even admitted to being stupid in front of Hyunwoo, but when the blonde omega's mouth in front of him said that, it felt like he wanted to tear that annoying face.

Minhyuk clapped his hands. "Yes, I see. Good. Good. It should be like that. Best reaction."

"What's your problem?" Kihyun unconsciously asked in a persistent tone. Minhyuk was even more happy to see Kihyun's frustrated reaction. In the distance Hyunwoo noticed the two omega who were chatting. He could not clearly hear what they were talking about. But Hyunwoo could see Kihyun's annoyed face. He smiled proudly to see it. Finally he decided to leave the two omega in their own world.

"I see. You're that type of omega but you don't use your brain. Still stupid." Kihyun's eyebrows frowned. He didn't understand the direction of Minhyuk's conversation. It was like chatting with pets. When you were speaking 'A' and you got answered 'B'. Like there were different communication languages.

" Ya! "

"Okay, now I’ll ask you, do you know the reason why the alpha torture us?" Minhyuk asked in between his breakfast chews. His hands were busy separating the cucumber from the salad and putting it on Kihyun's plate carelessly. He looked at the green food in disgust.

"Because… because they are bad?" He raised the tone at the end of the sentence to look like a question. He himself was not quite sure of the answer. But there was one thing he was so confident about, namely, "But excluding Hyunwoo. Hyunwoo is different." Minhyuk laughed mockingly.

"That's why you are stupid. You don't even know such a thing. That's why they keep oppressing us. Omega is too stupid to think about it." Kihyun was surprised. He didn't understand Minhyuk's statement, as if Minhyuk didn't support his own people—he just dropped his position lower. "Even though you have resistance, it’s useless if you don't use your brain. That's why you always fail."

"How do you know about that?" The blonde was like a psychic who can guess what's going on in Kihyun's life.

"I can see it from how you adore your alpha. He must be a hero to you. He's really good, he treats you well." Kihyun was surprised by the statement, as if he became a transparent sheet in front of Minhyuk that was easy to read. The reality was like that. Hyunwoo was like a superhero in the eyes of Kihyun. The one who saved Kihyun from the cruel world and gave him lots of affection. His body language and his eyes glowed showed a lively spirit and a great sense of affection every time he saw Hyunwoo.

Kihyun answered with "Hm" and nodded. He was surprised at how good Minhyuk’s prediction was. "So what's the reason they torture us? Tell me."

Minhyuk sat upright on his chair. His eyes looked around. He found many alpha omega pairs in the restaurant. Within the blink of an eye, he and Kihyun could see how the omega always bowed their heads in front of the alpha—they ate unwillingly and some of them didn't even touch their food at all. Their eyes showed deep sorrow.

"Because they need us. They're afraid of us. They're nothing without us. They're perfect human beings because of us. That's the rule of second gender. We compliment each other."

Kihyun pensive. He remembered about the past, when he was first bought by a young alpha without a partner like Hyunwoo. The alpha said something Kihyun didn't understand. He said that Kihyun should feel lucky to be an omega. Omega being is the most sought-after thing in this world, their existence is rare. They don't experience life's intense competition just to dominate each other. Omega only has loving and protective behaviour. Meanwhile, alpha is a creature who naturally fights each other and wants domination, putting pressure on the psyche around them. Kihyun didn't really understand what that meant, because after that he only focused on how to save himself from the alpha's beast.

"So you're implying that we are their weakness?" Kihyun started to understand what kind of person Minhyuk was. He wasn't an ordinary omega. The way he thought turned the facts around.

Minhyuk nodded. "They need us to dominate others. Our bodies are designed in pairs with them. Have you ever heard that alpha will weaken if it is not accompanied by omega?"

Kihyun nodded. He remembered the story about Hyunwoo's father who lost dominance in the community because of Hyunwoo's mother's hidden presence. Therefore, Hyunwoo was forced to find an omega partner in order to raise social status.

"This second gender world is cruel, Kihyun. We're on the same level as animals. We don't know the reason why God made us like this."

Minhyuk explained how the second gender system was to Kihyun. Alpha's naturally compete with each other, that's their very nature. They try to control an area and not allow other feet to step on their territory. To be able to provide stronger dominance than other alpha, an alpha relies on the strength of pheromones. Pheromones are chemicals produced by alpha, omega and beta which are responded directly by the brain and are very influential on hormonal changes in the body that produce various types of behavioral and physiological responses. These dominating pheromones are what alpha's use to show themselves. Alpha with a stronger pheromone will give a fear response effect on the brain of every living thing in front of them. Like a scientific reaction.

To increase pheromones, alpha needs to pair with omega. Naturally, alpha and omega produce pheromones that attract each other like a sexual attraction. Therefore, the alpha and omega bodies involuntarily withdraw each other to sexual intercourse. The pheromones produced by alpha and omega which are sexually related are a form of stimulation communication to the brain and body systems to increase each other's pheromone production. This only happens to alpha and omega. Alpha will become dominant because of that, whereas omega will become more and more sexually attractive because of it. Pheromone intensity will also affect alpha's physical strength, while pheromone intensity will increase omega affection and reproductive system.

"That's why they love to fuck us." Kihyun was blown away. He never thought that far. The pheromone effect never feels good in the eyes of the omega because it only has a big effect on physical growth, whereas for the alpha it is something special. "But, if they need us, why don't they do good to us? Why don't they love us?"

"They are too proud to admit it. They feel they are the strongest so they oppress the weak. By oppressing the weak, their pride increases." Minhyuk took a glass of water and downed its content. His hands placed the spoon and fork in the plate because he had finished breakfast. "With the proposition that omega is the lowest class creature, they are using us to get power. Isn't that all the brain response? When you see someone being beaten, the brain automatically thinks that the person who hit the person is a stronger person."

"You are right. You are so clever, Minhyuk. I never thought of it before." He became interested in chatting with Minhyuk. It turned out that it was true what Hyunwoo said that Jooheon's omega needed to be watched out for because he was smart and manipulative.

"Yes, I'm clever and you are stupid." Minhyuk got a glare from Kihyun. "The omega is too busy thinking about why their fate is like that without looking for a solution. The alpha deliberately keeps omega locked up in the underground community. They want to create an image that omega must obey alpha. They limit the existence of omega. They are afraid we reject them. They are pathetic. "

Hearing Minhyuk's explanation, Kihyun guessed that the blonde also hates alpha. Maybe in the past Minhyuk experienced the same thing as him and Lee Jooheon was his savior figure. But Kihyun didn't know anything about the two of them.

"What kind of person is Lee Jooheon? Is he nice to you?" Kihyun asked reluctantly. He wanted to know more about the two of them but was still hesitant to ask. Moreover, Minhyuk had finished his breakfast, he thought he had no more reason to chat with the blonde omega.

"I'm not the same as you, in case you were wondering." Minhyuk gave a gentler gaze than before. As if there was someone else's figure in the same body. "The Lee family has a lot of omega and I'm just one of them. He's not a hero to me, unlike your alpha."

"So, you don't like him?"

"I love him so much. He is the one who taught me many things." His body sat back and relaxed. Kihyun started to feel comfortable chatting with Minhyuk. The omega looks like a complete opposite to him. Everything in him attracted Kihyun's curiosity.

Minhyuk was one of 10 omegas owned by the Lee family. Due to the large amount of omegas in the residence, there was a competition between them. Because the omegas knew that they had been bought by an influential family and they hoped to get the attention of one of the Lee family children, Lee Jooheon. Among family members, Jooheon was a typical alpha who was rarely found because he really didn't care about his environment. He was busy with his own music career regardless of what happens outside the world of his interests. So that he never interacted with omega. He would approach omega when his sexual needs demand it, otherwise he ignores them.

When he first came to the Lee residence, Minhyuk always got more attention from family members because of his physique, even though he was actually bought not because he was chosen but because he had to replace one of the sick omega. By taking advantage of his physique, Minhyuk tried to reach a safe place under the shade of alpha who was passionate about him even though with great difficulty. He seduced them and secretly influenced their minds so that alpha would calm down and not oppress his existence. Sometimes he felt like a slut who shut down alpha with sexual flirtation. Instead of having to feel pain all over his body like other omega, Minhyuk chose to accept the reality. However, after all, living in restraint was not Minhyuk's wish.

Minhyuk was born to alpha and omega pairs. Minhyuk's mother was an omega who was dumped from the alpha family who bought her. Minhyuk's mother was discarded because she always had an omega child. Initially, the alpha, who was Minhyuk's father, was trying to get alpha offspring. The father  was so angry when the mother continued to become pregnant with an omega child. The father aborted the pregnancy several times so that finally the mother became pregnant with Minhyuk. Back then, the mother tried to escape from the alpha residence and was almost killed, but she managed to escape after being helped by other omegas at the alpha residence. Shortly after being free from the alpha residence, the mother was arrested by the underground community at the request of his father. So that finally Minhyuk was born and raised in the underground community.

Since childhood, Minhyuk had been indoctrinated by his mother that when you are bought by the alpha family your life will end. Even you won't be able to escape from alpha's power trap. Therefore he never had any other choice but to find a safe way to stay alive. However, when he saw Jooheon, he got a new hope. Jooheon was rarely at home even when he saw Minhyuk, Jooheon was not interested. The other omega also tried to get Jooheon's attention but to no avail. Until finally one day, Minhyuk found several sheets of paper belonging to Jooheon, which turned out to be some of Jooheon's songs. It was then, the first time the alpha spoke to him. From there, Minhyuk finally got close to Jooheon and saw the other side of an alpha.

“He's special and talented. He taught me a lot about music, he even taught me about freedom. When I'm with him I don't have to think about how to be safe. He is the one who gives me a door to the knowledge." Minhyuk revealed the facts without being asked. Kihyun understood what happened, the same as he did when he was with Hyunwoo. At least, he was relieved. His suspicions about the alpha named Jooheon immediately disappeared.

"Minhyuk." He recognized the sharp voice. He turned his head quickly, found Jooheon who had just finished working out at the hotel gym.

The moment before he left, Kihyun prevented his steps. Kihyun’s eyes were filled with sadness and admiration at the same time. “Thank you, Minhyuk. Next time we'll talk again." After hours of sulking because of the blonde, Kihyun finally smiled sincerely at him and Minhyuk nodded back. He quickly left Kihyun and approached the person who called him. He hugged the person spoiled and smiled broadly. Kihyun could see how much Minhyuk loves his alpha—as if his alpha is everything to him—it all radiated from his face. His blonde hair complemented the orange hair.

~~oOo~~

It was getting dark. Hyunwoo couldn’t find Kihyun anywhere after he left him with Minhyuk this morning, but his nose could still detect the scent of vanilla citrus around the hotel. He couldn't go around looking for Kihyun because suddenly Jooheon asked him to chat and then enjoyed dinner together and even he met Minhyuk. After finishing chatting with Jooheon and Minhyuk, Hyunwoo looked for Kihyun around the hotel. He still couldn't find him. In fact, he hoped that Kihyun would be with Changkyun, but when he visited Hoseok and Changkyun's room, they both said they hadn't seen Kihyun all day. The only possible place was their room. Hyunwoo entered his room in surprise, his nose could smell Kihyun faintly.

"Kihyun?" He stepped into the bedroom and saw the glass door connected to the balcony open. His feet stepped towards the balcony and he found Kihyun dumbfoundedly standing looking at the sea from the end of the balcony. His omega did not turn around at all, it seemed he was in deep thinking. Hyunwoo slowly approached him, then put his hands around the slender waist and hugged the tiny body from behind.

"Ah, Hyunwoo." His shoulders rose as he felt Hyunwoo's broad chest press against his back. His cold fingers gripped the muscular hand that was wrapped around his waist.

"You seem to be thinking. What's wrong? How about your chat with Minhyuk, hm?" He kissed his temple. His cheeks felt the omega’s soft and fragrant hair, as if he had just finished showering. Hyunwoo felt a little guilty for not being able to accompany the omega all day.

"He's a good guy." Kihyun stuttered to answer. Hyunwoo smiled when he heard that.

"Looks like someone has made a new friend."

"He's not my friend!" He pinched Hyunwoo's arm. The pinch tasted like an ant bite. Hyunwoo laughed.

"Kihyun, thank you so much for everything." Hyunwoo hugged him tighter and it felt so warm to Kihyun. Because of that, he couldn’t feel the cold night wind that blew from the direction of the sea.

"Why so suddenly?"

“Nothing. Just wanna say it." Hyunwoo should feel grateful to Kihyun. He didn't ask for much from him but Kihyun gave him more. Hyunwoo had not done anything to convince the artist but Jooheon gave a very positive impression today and finally Hyunwoo was quite sure that the artist had the same goals as him. Throughout his meeting with Jooheon, he saw how Minhyuk kept smiling at him. Minhyuk's smile made him understand that all this incident happened because of Kihyun. "Then, what are you thinking?"

“Hm,” Kihyun hummed, “Thinking about Minhyuk said to me. You know, Minhyuk is so clever. He is amazing. I want to be like him." He tried to look at Hyunwoo's face. His back rested on the broad chest. "Hyunwoo."

"Yes?"

"I think..." He opened his mouth slowly but then closed it again. It was difficult for him to find the right words. “I love you so much. I just want you to know that." A crescent moon formed in his eyes when Hyunwoo heard those words. It felt good to hear that especially when the face of the person who said it blushes unbearably. Really cute.

“I love you too. I fell in love with you, from the first time we met. "

"For real?" Kihyun was surprised, his face looked up trying to look at his alpha. Hyunwoo just nodded. The smile was still on his face. "I'm sorry but I don't know how I felt back then. It was so confusing for me to have you as my alpha. But I feel so happy. I thought I was going to die. Hyungwon always says ridiculous prayers like 'hope he will be a good alpha for you' every time I sell out. I felt it was bullshit. But behold, his prayers were answered. I just need to wait for that moment to come."

"He's a good person."

Kihyun nodded. He looked back at the dark sea. “He was the only one who accompanied me when I was in the underground community. He told me a lot of things. Even though his words are too realistic sometimes, I don't regret listening to them." He held tightly to Hyunwoo's arm, as if his life depended on him. He put all his weight on Hyunwoo's sturdy body, as if he had entrusted his whole life. “Hyunwoo, we just need to wait for the moment. Everything is gonna be alright, am I right? "

“You are right, baby. You are right." Hyunwoo swayed the two of them around like they were dancing. Kihyun smiled and followed that short movement. He felt so happy.

His face drew closer to give Kihyun an affectionate love kiss. Kihyun tilted his body slightly to meet the warm friction of their bodies in the cold night breeze. Feeling how that passionate kiss affected his entire body's reactions and made his heart blossom. Feeling how the kiss implied craving for one another. Each kiss conveyed a very thick message "I love you". Their breath replaced the gust of wind. Kihyun had realized that he had turned into someone special. The timid Kihyun was gone. Whatever happens, he would put all his soul into helping Hyunwoo.

~~oOo~~

"Are you ready?"

Kihyun took a deep breath and exhaled. He clenched his hands tightly to reduce nervousness. In recent days, Kihyun often visited Minhyuk to ask to be taught how to show confidence like Minhyuk. Even so, his heart still felt chaotic. He would meet many alphas and would even witness the terrible scene that befell the omega. He didn't know whether he was ready or not.

"Hey, Kihyun. It's okay. I'm here, remember?" Hyunwoo's soft voice calmed him a little bit. Plus Hyunwoo always released a soothing scent when Kihyun was tense. Hyunwoo put both hands on the slender waist and gave a little distance to stop himself from hugging him.

"Yes, I'm ready." Kihyun stared firmly at Hyunwoo. The alpha laughed silently.

"But do you need to dress like that?" Hyunwoo's eyes focused on the exposed skin of his omega's body. Kihyun wore a black outfit with a zipper that opens to form a v-neck line, exposing his collarbone and plumpy chest line. In addition, he also wore a black choker and silver earrings—which was long enough to reach his shoulder—on one ear. His hair was neatly styled, his bangs covered his forehead so that his face looked so cute and younger. He also wore make-up that makes his beautiful face line stand out. He indeed looked so pretty, but Hyunwoo wasn't happy about it.

"Is there something wrong? Am I ugly?" Kihyun reconfirmed his clothes and tidied up some wrinkled parts. After that, he stared at his alpha with an innocent gaze.

"You are so pretty but everyone is gonna look at you."

“I've explained earlier, that's the goal. I want them to see me, I want to show what kind of Son Hyunwoo's omega looks like." He pouted when he saw Hyunwoo's sour face all the way and kept asking if he needed to wear such revealing clothes. Kihyun was tired of answering that question.

Hyunwoo sighed heavily. This was the first time Hyunwoo realized that his omega was so stubborn. He didn't ask Kihyun to do anything there, he just needed to accompany him to the alpha community meeting this time. This meeting was an important moment that Hyunwoo and the gang had been waiting for who wanted to oppose the community because that was when they would make a move and expose themselves to become a new entity that would oppose the community.

According to him, Kihyun had done his role very well. He had become one of the link chains between omega of the alpha under the Hyunwoo organization. He also helped Hyunwoo in organizing their secret meeting. Besides that, Kihyun's existence made Hyunwoo more respected by other alphas in the organization that Hyunwoo gathered and they happily accepted Hyunwoo as a leader. With Kihyun around Hyunwoo, the pheromones of the two overlapped and created a new level of admiration of their own. Even though things went well in the end, many alphas in the organization seemed to like Kihyun and Hyunwoo weren't happy about it either.

"I know. But let me do this,”Hyunwoo tried to raise the zipper higher so that the chest was more sealed. “Imagining them staring at you, I feel so jealous right now. So please, okay?" He didn't fight back when Hyunwoo closed his clothes tighter. Kihyun couldn't help but smile so widely. Suddenly he felt power come inside his body. His body gives off a refreshing vanilla citrus scent that indicates he was ready, happy, focused and confident.

He walked in holding Hyunwoo's hand to the lobby and entered the auditorium where the alpha community meeting was held. As soon as his feet stepped on the carpet, all the eyes looked at them because the mixture of musk and vanilla citrus scent filled the room—the smell was sensual and seductive but warm—attracting the attention of the alpha and omega present. Kihyun smiled when the audience saw their arrival. His smile also attracted alpha and brought envious glances from omega.

Hyunwoo was surprised by the reaction. Previously, no one took their eyes off when Hyunwoo came. They see Hyunwoo as a loser alpha who pretends to show off because he wants to fight the community but he refuses to have omega. So that Hyunwoo's existence was ignored even though he had an acknowledged existence. At this time, it was completely different from usual. He had a very strong pheromone as a form of Kihyun's confident pheromone reaction.

"Well, well, well. It turns out that Son Hyunwoo who is acting kind-hearted is finally showing his fangs by raising an omega." The voice that Hyunwoo was familiar with interrupted. He had expected that Kang would talk a lot about surprises this time. A few days ago, Hyunwoo heard the news that Kang had been elevated in social status to be one of the people who was given special authority in determining rules in the alpha community. Of course, he always came to the meeting together with a new omega—Hyunwoo did not find the existence of the previous female omega.

“Yes, thanks for your recommendation, Mr Kang. You're too kind." Hyunwoo replied with a mocking tone, causing Kang to react. Kang could feel the difference between Hyunwoo that day and Hyunwoo 3 months ago. He seemed to have a stronger presence, more confident, more intimidating but also calmer than usual even when he was provoked.

He laughed derisively, “Of course. You must be happy because finally you can let out your sexual frustration. Ha ha ha." His two sharp eyes caught the presence of Kihyun who was covered by Hyunwoo's body. "Wait, aren't you Kihyun?" Kang laughed even louder.

Hyunwoo turned to where Kihyun was. He didn't know what happened to Kihyun because he suddenly became so quiet since Kang appeared. However, Hyunwoo could feel the tiny hand was shaky, even though his omega’s face looked flat.

“Hyunwoo- ssi . I didn't expect you to have a good taste.” His laughter rang throughout the auditorium. The guests now began to see them in the middle of the room. Hyunwoo felt a bad premonition when he found Kihyun who looked nervous being watched by many alphas in the room. He kept looking at the carpet floor and lowered his head. Whereas he had walked confidently into the auditorium before with his head tilted up.

"I'm sorry?"

“I just found out the reason why you ended up having omega, because of him right? You must be enjoying yourself too much when having sex with him. Indeed he is beautiful. His tight hole is the best experience I ever felt and his desperate moaning is everything." Kang grinned at Kihyun—giving him an extremely disgusting look. Hyunwoo widened his eyes, he never knew that Kang and Kihyun knew each other. “When the Hwang family lost him, I think because he died, it turned out that he changed hands to young master Son Hyunwoo. In fact, I want to taste once again the great sex tool, Yoo Kihyun. Too bad."

Hyunwoo squeezed Kihyun's tiny hands that didn't stop shaking and sweating. His other hand clenched hard. The pheromones that his body produces suddenly change from calm and confident pheromones to aggressive pheromones, some of the omega there started to be affected.

"Then, you know what else is delicious about him? His crying figure."

If only Kihyun hadn't taken one step ahead of Kang, maybe Hyunwoo would have hit that grinning face for the umpteenth time. He almost couldn't contain his anger when Kang mentioned as if Kihyun who was crying was the most fun toy in the world—even though he really hated seeing Kihyun cry, he would do anything to stop his crying. But he really didn't expect it, Kihyun took a step further, looking at Kang with a challenging gaze and emitting a seductive vanilla scent.

“Oh my, Mr Kang wasn't it? Have we met before?" Kihyun asked while tapping his fingers to his lips, as if he was remembering. "Oh, I'm sorry. It seems, I don't remember that." At that time, Hoseok and Changkyun arrived at the meeting. They were approaching. Changkyun was so worried when he saw Kihyun speak up. He almost pulled Kihyun's hand back from in front of Kang.

"You're always being rude, huh. How dare you challenge me? You're lowly omega." He glared. No omega approached him with such a defiant look. Kihyun he knew before was weaker than Kihyun now.

“You know, Mr Kang. I can't remember insignificant things in my life. After all, look at me now.” He raised his curved fingers high, watching the glitter of each nail. His other hand was busy playing with the tip of his hair. He also lifted his shoulders loosely.

"I'm fucking beautiful, right?" Kihyun took a step back, facing his body towards Hyunwoo. He stared affectionately at the contrasting eyes before finally hugging Hyunwoo, then he leaned his head indulgently while not forgetting to glare back at Kang. His body also emitted pheromones which made Hyunwoo's aggressive pheromones disappear and finally Hyunwoo relaxed. The two of them complement each other. "He treats me so well. My skin glows up well. My body is hot. And I have never cried before. Maybe you know a different Kihyun, maybe a Kihyun that you know is already dead."

Hyunwoo could feel, even a little, Kihyun's tiny body trembling as he said that. He tried so hard to get rid of that fear. Knowing this, Hyunwoo put a hand around his waist, hinting that he was present to support all the burdens carried by Kihyun. He was not alone there.

“Look at them. Even though they are omega, they are not as beautiful as me. They look pathetic. You alpha's aren't any better than Hyunwoo. He is the real domination here, the real alpha leader here." Hyunwoo was surprised at Kihyun's every word, he started to speak manipulatively and provocatively— Ah , Hyunwoo remembered, Kihyun was hanging out with Minhyuk too much lately. The other omegas watched with envious eyes seeing the affection shown by Hyunwoo and Kihyun. Some of the alpha looked annoyed, especially Kang. Because it was true, the intimidation that Hyunwoo and Kihyun gave in the room felt real.

"Thank you for the meaningless speech, Kihyun. Whatever you say won't change the fact that you are a whore and the alpha community will remain in power. You can do nothing about it. We are the rules here." Kang and several other influential alpha's stepped in giving more intimidation. Kihyun took a step back when he saw the fiery alpha eyes glare at him. The room was filled with all kinds of pheromone scents, making the omega start acting crazy. Luckily, Kihyun was already mated with Hyunwoo so that his body didn't react sexually but he could still feel the effect of the fear.

Hyunwoo moved. He is the leader of his organization. Whatever happens, he would keep going. “We never broke the chain of hope, Mr Kang. Yes, you got so many powerful alphas here. But do you know what things can beat the alpha community?”

Both of Kang's brows furrowed.

"A position of higher power and a greater number of masses."

A crowd of guests was talking loudly about the person who had just come to the auditorium. His hair was orange and he was accompanied by a luxury blonde omega. On top of that, a bunch of beta bodyguards had come to see them off.

"It's Lee Jooheon!"

"Why is he here? Usually he never comes. "

“He is the only candidate for successor to the Lee family at this time. He's a person who has great influence in the Lee family. "

"Hello, gentlemen. Looks like you guys are surprised at my arrival. Well, let us sit first." He took a glass of wine brought by a waiter and then he sat on the table as he pleased. Minhyuk followed and leaned on Jooheon's shoulder.

"Well, let me introduce him to you, Mr Kang. He is Lee Jooheon. The Lee Family who have big roles in the community and he is a superstar. You know him so well, right?" Hyunwoo explained, giving a hand gesture towards Jooheon who was the spotlight that night. "He is our partner right now."

Kang was very surprised. He never thought that an alpha from one of the families that made up the alpha community would become Hyunwoo's colleague. The guests whispered while discussing Jooheon's whereabouts and the meaning of Hyunwoo's words. Some of the alpha that had been part of the organization formed by Hyunwoo began to show themselves one by one, even female alpha who had never attended the meeting came along that day as a form of participation to officially announce that they were against the community.

Hyunwoo spoke louder. "For you, Alpha who is here. You don't need to be hesitant to show yourself anymore. We are here to against this rotten community together with you. We have many strong colleagues. Therefore, I, as the Leader of this organization, await your participation." Hyunwoo also seemed to be a spotlight there. The way he speaks like a leader was added by his dominating pheromones.

Kang snorted when he heard Hyunwoo babble. The organization that Hyunwoo formed certainly attracted attention but the alpha community was not a community that could waver so easily just because of the existence of a Lee Jooheon. The greed, arrogance and competition naturally experienced by alpha was a reality so that alpha would still not be able to change their character easily. “You are doing so well, Son Hyunwoo. But it's useless. The existence of the second gender is a social gap itself. You can do nothing about it even though you are bringing Lee Jooheon here."

"I don't consider myself as an important person here," Jooheon overwrote Kang's words. He put down the glass of wine which he had just finished. "But I do consider myself someone who can bring good influence to many people. You know, alpha isn't that much even though they have a higher position. They are hard to beat even by a beta. But what about 100 betas or 1000 betas or even 10,000 betas? A great number of people will beat wealth. Boom!”

Hyunwoo smiled. The goal of cooperating with Lee Jooheon as a partner was not because he is part of the Lee family but because Lee Jooheon is a very famous artist. The existence of Lee Jooheon was used as a form of campaign to the public about the existence of the Hyunwoo organization which would oppose the alpha community and remove the existence of the underground community. Many people wanted to oppose the community, but they didn't have enough strength to do that—the beta population was the largest and Hyunwoo wanted to make them colleagues. So Hyunwoo wanted to accommodate all the entities who wanted to join the fight by bringing Jooheon as an ambassador. Jooheon's status as the Lee family was a plus. As he was the single best candidate for the successor of the Lee family at this time, he had invited several parts of the influential families in the community to cooperate.

Kang snorted even louder. "You are doing us so dirty, aren't you? Let us see if your beta armys can do something about us." He also went somewhere. Several groups of guests also went away. Hyunwoo breathed a sigh of relief, at least they managed to show themselves in the community. The existence of their organization was no longer a hallucination. All thanks to the help of Hoseok, Changkyun, Jooheon, Minhyuk and even… Kihyun.

"Kihyun?" Hyunwoo looked worriedly at Kihyun. He looked so nervous. His temples were sweating. His face looked pale. "Are you okay?" He took Kihyun away from the crowd and looked for a quieter place so Kihyun felt calmer.

"Kihy—" Before Hyunwoo continued, Kihyun tightly hugged his neck. He inhaled the soothing scent of Hyunwoo greedily to stop his body from trembling during the conversation. Hyunwoo returned his hug while stroking his back.

“I'm so scared, Hyunwoo. I try hard not to be afraid but I can't help but remember those days. He is a terrible person. It hurts all over my body when I see him, it feels like the pain is still there." Gasping for breath. He felt like crying but he endured it as best he could. Seeing Kang was a nightmare for Kihyun because he was an alpha who treated him so badly.

"You're doing good. You're good. It's okay now. I'm here for you." Hyunwoo kept kissing Kihyun's forehead so he could calm down again. “You are so brave. You are the one who makes me feel confidence and makes me calm. This can happen because of you, Kihyun. Thank you so much."

The omega hugged him tighter and tighter while inhaling Hyunwoo's scent as much as possible. He wanted to feel that everything was fine because Hyunwoo was there to protect him.

“Remember what you said, we need to wait for the right moment. And this right moment happens because of you. I love you. "

"I love you, too."

Hyunwoo never knew whether their plan against social judgement would work. Social differences are difficult to eradicate in society. It will continue to happen wherever and in any form. Even though it is something that is difficult to achieve, the hope never gives up in order to get all the things that are rightfully accepted by everyone, especially the omega.

~~oOo~~EPILOGUE~~OoO~~

"An Epilogue"

A year had passed since Hyunwoo and his gang announced the organization they formed to fight against the alpha community. Nothing significant happened but he saw success coming slowly. Many people started talking about the existence of Hyunwoo's organization, especially the media. The media played an important role in influencing society. There were also many alpha who eventually switched sides to Hyunwoo's side.

Lee Jooheon was the most correct decision. His influence was so big on the progress of the organization. His popularity as an artist was used very well. He campaigned a lot especially for his fans so he got a lot of support. Lots of betas dared to go on strike and protest about the social inequality they got—they have dared to make a move because they got protection from Hyunwoo's organization. The protests launched by the betas triggered the alpha business movement to slow down.

“You are a great leader, Hyunwoo- ssi . I'm grateful that I changed sides and supported you. I've wanted to do it for a long time but the community has always put pressure on us." An alpha who was much older than Hyunwoo spoke. He was one of Hyunwoo's father's supporters in the past.

"Yes, he is. He was the one who planned all this, Mr Yoon." Hoseok chimed in on the conversation. He patted Hyunwoo's shoulder proudly.

"Don't say that. All of this happened thanks to your help. I'm nothing without you guys."

"I heard a few months ago you registered your marriage with your omega, is that correct?" Hyunwoo nodded and smiled. Mr Yoon looked so proud seeing Hyunwoo and Hoseok treating the omega so well. Not many alpha's are willing to legally marry omega because omega is considered lowly status. "So, how's it going? Why didn't you bring him here?"

Hyunwoo smiled again, a little forced. "He's not feeling well recently." In fact, Hyunwoo really wanted to take Kihyun to the organization meeting. But Kihyun didn't look well this morning. Even though many omegas came looking for Kihyun. Hyunwoo left early from the organization meeting because Sang-hee sent out an alarming message. Finally he decided to transfer leadership to Hoseok at the meeting that day so he could get home early.

"What's wrong, Hyunwoo?"

"It seems, Kihyun needs me."

"Okay. I will handle this today. You can leave. Is he okay? He looked weird since he saw Changkyun's delivery. Maybe he remembers something about his past. For now, you'd better accompany him at all times.” Hoseok said in a worried tone. When Changkyun gave birth to an alpha child and Kihyun saw the baby, he looked so sad. Since then, Kihyun was often seen restless, more silent and dazed.

"Okay. Thank you, Hoseok. Give my greetings to Jooheon and Minhyuk, they will come late."

"No worries."

Hyunwoo hurried back to the residence driving himself. He was so worried. For several weeks, Kihyun lost his appetite. He also did not respond much when spoken to. He also had difficulty falling asleep. Every night, Hyunwoo had to cuddle him until he fell asleep. Kihyun sometimes cried silently and didn't want to say anything to Hyunwoo even though the alpha had tried to persuade him. Hyunwoo did not want to insist, he would wait until the omega was ready to say what was on his mind. Because he could see Kihyun looking sad every time he asked him.

Hyunwoo arrived quickly at the residence and was greeted by Sang-hee who looked restless pacing in the living room. Not to forget, Hyunwoo brought fresh pink roses to improve Kihyun's mood, which often changes.

"How is he?"

“Not good. He doesn't want to eat anything even though I made some sweet spicy chicken for him. Usually he can't resist chicken. "

"Okay, thank you, Sang-hee." Hyunwoo nodded and walked towards their room together with the servant. “Ah, please bring warm water and make porridge. Maybe his stomach hurts because he hasn't eaten regularly for several days." Sang-hee nodded and quickly went to the kitchen.

Hyunwoo knocked on the door of the room but there was no answer. He opened the knob slowly and entered the room. He saw Kihyun lying on the bed curled up holding his stomach.

"Kihyun, are you okay?" When he heard Hyunwoo's voice, Kihyun immediately got up and whined. He was the one who asked Sang-hee to contact Hyunwoo because he suddenly missed his alpha a lot. He hugged the body while half lying down and Hyunwoo sat on the edge of the bed.

"I feel so sick. My tummy feels funny and I have a headache."

"Because you don't want to eat. I'll accompany you to eat so let's wake up." He shook his head hard. Refused to leave the mattress.

"I don't have an appetite." He tried to hide his face in Hyunwoo's stomach.

“What's wrong? You've been thinking so hard these days. Do you wanna talk about it? Would you tell me now?" Hyunwoo lowered his head, trying to look at that face. But Kihyun still hid himself in a hug. He squirmed, still wondering if he should say what he was thinking. Not long after, Sang-hee arrived with a bowl of porridge and a glass of warm water. He hoped that the savory smell of the porridge made by his servant can increase Kihyun's appetite.

"I've been thinking a lot about—uh, ugh." Kihyun woke up suddenly and ran as fast as possible to the bathroom. Hyunwoo was shocked to the point that he couldn't follow the plot. He went to the bathroom but apparently Kihyun locked the door. He couldn't hear what was going on inside.

“Baby, what's wrong? Please open the door."

"I'm fine. No worries." Kihyun shouted from inside in a slightly hoarse voice. In fact, it made Hyunwoo even more worried.

"I think he is throwing up now, sir." Sang-hee walked up to Hyunwoo with an uneasy face. "He's been vomiting lately, it's been more than two weeks."

"Huh? Why don't I know? Why didn't you tell me? " Hyunwoo's brows frowned.

"I'm sorry, sir. He asked me to keep it a secret from you so you don't worry." Hyunwoo sighed. Obviously, Kihyun had been acting weird lately and he had tried so many times to persuade him but he didn't expect Kihyun to lie.

Hyunwoo kept trying to knock on the door so Kihyun wanted to get out of the bathroom. However, to no avail. “What's wrong with him? Do you know something, Sang-hee? He's been out of mind lately. I think that's why he's getting worse."

"He didn't say anything to me, sir. But I have a guess about his condition. He's been throwing up lately, he lost his appetite, and as you said his suddenly changing mood. I think those are the signs of pregnancy." Instantly Hyunwoo widened his eyes as he heard Sang-hee's statement. He never thought that this condition was being experienced by Kihyun because all this time his omega had always avoided that conversation.

"No. I'm not." Kihyun emerged from the bathroom door slowly, while wiping the remaining water around his mouth with a towel. "I've experienced it a few times and I know how it feels."

"Kihyun, we don't know yet. Why don't we try to check it to the doctor?" Hyunwoo looked at him. His eyes radiated hope which made Kihyun sad.

"I don't wanna."

"Why?"

He screamed so loud in front of Hyunwoo’s face, “Because I can't get pregnant! The doctor in underground community said there is something wrong with my womb when the last miscarriage happened. My womb becomes weak because of the abuse it gets too much, It's a low chance to get pregnant again. That's why I told you my body is trash, it's broken!" Those eyes seemed to be flooded with tears when Kihyun looked at Hyunwoo. He could no longer hide his sadness. Ever since he saw Hoseok and Changkyun's baby, Kihyun kept thinking about it. Thinking about what the doctors said when he returned to the underground community with injuries and miscarriages. All this time he was trying to be positive that the moment would come later. He tried to imagine something moving inside his body every time he had sex with Hyunwoo. But after almost a year he was with Hyunwoo, nothing had changed. After all, that hope slowly fades with time. “I'm sorry I'm lying to you about this all this time. I know you want to have a baby. I don't want to make you disappointed."

He had been thinking too much since then—about how to tell Hyunwoo his true state. It made him stressed, daydreaming frequently and lost his appetite. He lost some weight and sometimes felt unconscious.

"I'm sorry, Kihyun." Hyunwoo tightly embraced the tiny body. Kihyun cried again and it was Hyunwoo who made him cry. He really regretted it because he kept forcing Kihyun to talk about his worries. He never knew that his omega thought so hard about it and sometimes Hyunwoo didn't realize every time he talked about wanting to have children with Kihyun. “It's okay. Even though we can't have a baby, it's okay for me. As long as you are happy with me."

"I'm sorry. I can't give everything that you want." He sobbed even louder. Tears rolled down Hyunwoo's coat. He continued to stroke the omega's head affectionately and gave off the scent of musk to cover Kihyun's negative pheromones. Seeing the two, Sang-hee felt sympathy too. She also hoped that her guess was correct. She even bought a test pack for his master secretly.

"I know, I'm being insolent. But the doctor said ‘low chance’, that means there is still a probability. I want you to depend on it a little bit. It's not zero." Sang-hee handed Kihyun the test pack that she was carrying in her pocket. She knew she would have a very bad impact on Kihyun's psyche if the results failed.

Kihyun took it with a heavy heart. That hope built up slowly and might crumble in the next second. He glanced at Hyunwoo who smiled a little at him. "Ok, I'll try it."

That was a tough moment in their life. Kihyun went to the bathroom 15 minutes ago and there wasn't any sign. Did something bad happen inside? Hyunwoo and Sang-hee looked at each other anxiously. The next moment Kihyun came with a pale face and burst into tears. At that time, Hyunwoo felt like a very stupid alpha because he didn't know about his omega's anxiety for a long time. He walked over to Kihyun and hugged him again, calming his shaken body.

“It's okay, Kihyun. Don't cry." He kissed the top of his head. Meanwhile, Kihyun cried in the recess of his neck and hugged him so tightly. "As I said, as long as you're happy. I'm okay with it."

"It's... two... lines."

"Huh?"

"It's two." Kihyun showed Hyunwoo the test pack and there were two red lines in the middle. Sang-hee screamed with emotion while Hyunwoo was still trying to process what the two red lines meant.

"Does it mean ...?"

"I don't know but it should be a sign of pregnancy." Those sad and red eyes looked at Hyunwoo. He didn't want to build expectations too high but the results from the test pack might be correct. He smiled slightly and occasionally hiccupped. Hyunwoo didn't bother. Immediately he carried Kihyun like a rice sack and took him to the doctor for examination. It was then that the two of them became convinced that they just had to wait for that moment to come.

"Yes. It is 4 weeks old. Congratulations." The doctor smiled at them. Hyunwoo could not explain how he felt because his feeling was mixed, while Kihyun looked so relieved as if a burden had disappeared from his shoulder. "But there is something you need to pay attention to."

"What is it, doc?"

“There are two of them. Maybe you're gonna experience worse morning sickness. You have to eat a proper meal to get good nutrition. That was also the reason why you feel so sick lately. They eat you up." The doctor laughed playfully.

He never thought he would get two at once. But there were things that always bother him when this happens. All the way to the hospital, Kihyun didn't stop thinking about it. “Are my babies okay? They said that my womb is so weak."

"Ah, from your past medical record, yes it is." The doctor smiled back, but the smile felt good. "But you don't have to worry. It needs time to recover well. That's why you get pregnant now. If it gets worse in the way of your pregnancy days, then maybe you need to get bed rest and get regular check up. But nothing's wrong with the fetus. They're fine. "

That's what Kihyun really wanted to hear. 'They are fine' . Only that. And Kihyun would make sure they would be fine.

After finishing consulting, Kihyun continued to cling to Hyunwoo. He couldn’t hide his tears of happiness. They hugged tightly without caring about the people passing by in the hospital. They were just too happy to say something. They would show it with action—smiling, hugging and kissing each other.

“Thank you, Kihyun. Thank you so much." He kissed the omega's cheek. He never thought, Kihyun always gave more than he wanted. He got the higher social status in the community and now he got the babies from his beloved omega. He couldn't ask more than these miracles.
