People were passing by as fast as they could because the subway train had already arrived a few minutes ago, and was ready to board the next passengers.

  If looked closely, most of them were students from the way they were holding their books and laptop bag while running inside the room. Seokjin was one of them.

  This morning, he woke up earlier than usual. So instead of having his father dropping him off, he decided to use the train instead.

  Most people would be thrill to not have to squeeze themselves inside a room full of strangers if they could choose to have someone drop them off freely. But Seokjin wasn’t like the others.

  In all of his life, up until before his 18 birthday, Seokjin was mostly shielded inside. He knew so little about the world, comparing to peers his age.

 He only knew how to operate his way with subway system when he turned 19. He only knew how to buy himself necessities when he turned 20 this year. He didn’t even know how to ride motorcycles or drive car yet.

  There were times Seokjin wondered if shielding him all of these years were worth all the things he had to run to catch up, just to feed into his parents worries. He barely could hang out with his friends before entering university, and as soon as he turned to be a Male Omega, Seokjin’s parents had became extra overbearingly protective.

  Seokjin had constantly stood up for himself, assuring both of them he would be alright if he arrived home 2 hours later than the curfew (which was 6pm) and that he would be alright starting to buy things for himself and take care of himself to lessen his parents worry. He wouldn’t be dead on the street if he used the bus to come home at 7.

  Still, he couldn’t win his parents when they pulled the “We are your parents, and we are going to worry and care about you until the end.”

  Seokjin had also asked what would it take for his parents to be less paranoid about him getting hurt or kidnapped or worst. And they replied with only after Seokjin found his mate that they would be less strict.

  Seokjin had put his foot in their shoes a few times, and he understood he was the youngest in the family and also an Omega, his parents were bound to worry for his safety. He understood.

  But, sometimes, they were too much. It suffocated him. In this timeframe, they were still strict, but not very strict like when he was 18 or 19.

  He was already in his sophomore year. Seokjin were bound to get a job (which for now no, since his parents had made enough to support him until he graduated and found a job after) if he felt like that the only way he could breathe a little.

  Don’t get him wrong. He loved his parents so much, words couldn’t describe the amount of love he had for them, but there were time of them being so overprotective had Seokjin wanting to run away and just be free.

  Since it wasn’t like Seokjin could ride train to school everyday (either his father or his brother dropped him off), so he took advantage of his father and brother still having breakfast when he was ready and up to leave the house.

  The train came to hail as they stopped at another station. More people came rushing in.

  Seokjin didn’t look around, only focused on his phone with the music playing from inside his earphones.

  However, at the tail of his eyes, he saw a grandma standing a few seats away from him.

  Without thinking, Seokjin stood up and invited her to take his seat.

  She gladly took it, and thanked Seokjin for being so mindful and kind.

  The train still went on the way. The next stop was where Seokjin would be getting off as it was the closest stop to his university.

  Seokjin returned back to reading the manga on his phone, and jamming to the music inside his earphones. He was so in his own world he didn’t notice a creep came right up to where he was standing and holding on the hanging bar.

  If you asked what got other coming his way, Seokjin wouldn’t say his clothes for he wore long sleeve t-shirt and a pair of acid-wash jean with sneaker on. Nothing special. Beside, he had used scent-blocker prior to leaving for school.

  Still, it didn’t come out as a surprised when Seokjin got harassed. He got looked at inappropriately most of them time he went out somewhere with his friends or family. It was one of the reasons his parents worried about him most of the time.

  At first, he didn’t notice anyone behind him. But after a few while wondering if he really felt someone touching his butt or his butt just butted against someone, he turned around to face the creep.

  Seokjin pushed him away in panicked, and screamed loudly while pointing at the guy who inappropriately touched him.

  Of course, that creep denied the accusations. But the grandma and a few others vouched for Seokjin as they did see the man coming too close to the young Omega with him trying to conceal his hands away from others eyes.

  That creep, from his scent he was an Alpha, yelled back that Seokjin was just a dumb Omega and an ugly one who wanted attention, which of course, had others standing up for Seokjin and told the man to apologize.

  “What you gonna do about it?” He smugly asked, still saying he was not wrong.

  That when thing escalated as a male Beta coming before Seokjin, and helped Seokjin getting justice by reasoning-more like threatening that asshole.

  It was fruitless because that creep kept on insulting Seokjin and accused him of wanting to get him in trouble.

  Then out of nowhere, when the creep called Seokjin names that got Seokjin teared up, someone kicked his back knees.

  It caused him to topple down on the floor (luckily, Seokjin and the nice male Beta moved quickly when he saw that creep was about to fall) and stepped on him.

  “Apologize to him, or I’m calling the police.” The deep voice echoed through the train’s room. Seokjin had to admit, this was not the right time but his body shivered by the rough powerful voice.

  “Get the fuck off me.” The creep yelled.

  “Not until you apologize.” The man, Seokjin thought he saw a hint of red seeped through his eyes which made him came to the conclusion for this stranger was an Alpha, put pressure on where he stepped on the creep’s back. “I will count to three. If you don’t apologize, I will break your leg before calling the police.”

  People around them kind of supported the Alpha. They yelled at the creep to apologize. The pressure on his back must be too much to bear that he screamed out he was sorry.

  The Alpha looked annoyed. So instead of letting him go, he pulled the creep up by his collar.

  “Apologize nicely, or I might accidentally miss the balance and throw you against the door.”

  That dude looked scared, which made Seokjin wanting to laugh.

  “I’m sorry.”

  “What for? Sorry for what? And to who?” The nice Alpha pressed. 

  “For touching you and call you name.” The creep said. He looked at Seokjin, begging him to accept it.

  Not wanting to cause more troubles, Seokjin just nodded. He took a satisfactory in the way the creep shaking in fear.

  Others witnesses were clapping their hand as the creepy Alpha was pushed forcefully to bow towards Seokjin.

  The train came to stop, indicated they had arrived at the next station.

  The nice Alpha just roughly tossed the bad guy side way before he exited the train.

  Seokjin thanked everyone for standing up for him before he ran out to follow the nice guy. He didn’t get to thank him yet.

  By the time Seokjin exited the station, he didn’t see the Alpha anywhere.

  With a small sigh, the Omega walked to his school, hopping to meet the nice Alpha soon so he could thank him properly.

——

  The bell rang loudly, signaling all the classes could leave the classes to get lunch.

  Seokjin collected his belongings and put them in his bag before he went out to eat lunch with 3 of his friends.

  The Omega had to admit he was a bit loner and had less friends in school because of his parents being strict with him.

  He could never hang out with anyone if it passed 6pm, and he couldn’t sleepover at any of his friends (since he was younger, he never ever had sleepovers) and he couldn’t do anything outside of his house after 6pm. If not for him signing in the theatre club, he would never ever have met Taehyung, his first friend in University. And then came his best friend, Jimin and his destined mate, Jungkook.

  Seokjin had known the three since the second semester of his freshman year. Taehyung and the others two had been kind and friendly enough to include him in the group.

  They understood Seokjin’s situation entirely, and never once had they ever judged him for having to leave in the middle of dinner or having to decline hanging out with them. They understood, and willing to find ways to include him in their activities as much as they could even though the three of them studied different major.

  Seokjin studied to become an elementary teacher, while Jimin majored in Auditing and Finance and minored in Dance. Taehyung had countlessly told them about wanting to save children from abusive family for he came from one too, that was why he studied Social Networking and Management in hope of becoming a full-time social worker. His mate, Jungkook, was the heir of his family who owned one of the famous shipping companies. So he chose to major in BA, and decided to minor in English Language. Taehyung met Jimin through Jungkook for Jungkook was a junior to Jimin in a dance club.

  Taehyung actually had more friends. But since Seokjin barely had times, he only managed to meet the three.

  Seokjin had met Jimin’s mate, Yoongi, a few times. But nothing had exchanged beside Hello for either Seokjin had to rush to his class or it was time to go home.

  Which came to today had Seokjin surprised when he arrived to see 2 others people joining them. When he looked closely, it was Jimin’s mate and...

  Seokjin took a few steps back. No way was Jung Hoseok table-ing with them.

  Jung Hoseok, an Alpha, was the school Dance Prodigy. Not only he could dance as if he had no bones, but he was a star player for the university’s basketball team. Min Yoongi was the captain of the school one and only basketball team.

  “Jin.” Taehyung waved at him. Seokjin slowly walked towards the table. “Why are you so late?”

  “I had to finish the notes.” Seokjin said, before he greeted everyone at the table.

  When Jung Hoseok, his crush, greeted him back, Seokjin felt like fainting. One of the most wanted Alpha in the university just greeted him. Him, a nobody.

  Seokjin took a seat beside Jungkook. He shakily pulled out his lunch box from his backpack. He was nervous, okay? Who wouldn't when the school’s star watch him in interest?

  “Do you have to class in the next 15 minutes?” Jimin asked him. “We are waiting for one more person to arrive.”

  “O-ohh no, my next class is canceled.” Seokjin informed Jimin back.

  “Then you wouldn’t mind waiting for Namjoon, right?”

  Seokjin eyes popped wide in surprised. Kim Namjoon, one of the most sought after Alphas in his university was about to come sit with them. Seokjin wasn’t sure if the room was shaking or it was just him. Those Omega and Beta who kept staring at their table must be jealous and wanted to murder this single Omega for sure.

  “Yeah, I-I’m good with it. I think... errr... I will just go buy a slice of cake.” The group nodded when Seokjin quickly stood up and left.

  Seokjin made a beeline to the where the cake was sold. He stood in line, breathing slowly to calm himself done before he pointed at the last slice of Black Forest to the canteen lady.

  The Omega happily walked back to the table. The sweet cake instantly helped him calm down as soon as its aroma hit Seokjin’s nose. The wine inside the cake was the only alcohol Seokjin got to taste as frequently as he wanted without as much a scold.

  Unbeknownst to the happy Seokjin, the disaster was coming his way. He was excited to have Hoseok and Namjoon coming to sit with them and that he got to get the last slice of his favorite cake, that he missed seeing a masked guy walked too closely to him before the man was suddenly tripped and accidentally pushed Seokjin sideway.

  Seokjin screamed as he was startled. When he braced himself for the fall, a pair of arms caught him.

  That arms helped him standing up steadily before the owner asked.

  “Are you alright?”

  Seokjin almost cracked his neck for turning towards the voice so fast.

  Because standing in front of him, was the same guy who helped Seokjin on the train this morning.

  “You...”

  “You seem to get in trouble frequently.” The Alpha chuckled. Before Seokjin could reply, he was pushed again.

  This time, even without prepared, Seokjin was able to anchor himself by  having both of his hands on the Alpha’s shoulder.

  Shoulders that were exposed by the Jersey he was weary. An exposed pair of shoulders that came to contact with Seokjin's hands, and it caused the two of them to gasp out. Loudly enough for people around them to watch in surprised.

  Because in front of these witnesses, Seokjin just found his destined mate. When you touched your mate’s skin for the first time, electricity would shook both of their body and their eyes...

  Seokjin looked up at the Alpha’s, who was wearing mask too and was a few centimeters taller than him, to see his eyes flashing wine color. Seokjin’s eyes must have changed to ocean blue too because the Alpha looked intensely into his eyes. Seokjin couldn’t catch his expression much because he still had his mask on.

  The Alpha chuckled softly after the initial shocks he then steadied Seokjin again. Seokjin didn’t notice the Alpha had one of his hand holding Seokjin’s waist while another caught his bicep.

  “Nice to finally meet you, my mate.”

  The people around them irrupting into cheers as they had just witnessed a new pair of soulmate finding each other’s.

  They stood facing each other, until their eyes’ color changed back to normal brown orbs.

  The guy who pushed Seokjin apologized towards him profusely. To which Seokjin just nodded before he was dazzlingly led somewhere.

  Before he knew it, Seokjin was taken to his friends’ table. And...

  “Namjoon, what just happened?” Hoseok asked.

  When he heard it, Seokjin almost snapped his neck again to look at his mate who decided to take his mask off.

  And Holy Shit, his soulmate was the Music Department legend, and Basketball team’s star player. Namjoon had earned countless praises from his peers, lectures and even public from the lyric he had written and published to the world. He was a very good songwriter and producer, and if Seokjin remembered correctly, Namjoon was now working with BigHit entertainment. One of the biggest music entertainment companies currently.

  “Just found my mate.” Namjoon smiled at the everyone, before Jimin and Taehyung screamed when the Alpha nudged Seokjin.

  Seokjin suddenly became so shy from the attention he was receiving. All of his friends congratulated him for finding his mate. Even Hoseok teasingly told him now he had a responsibility. To keep Namjoon alive as the man was a living disaster.

  Yoongi joined in the teasing before he and Hoseok got kicked on their shins.

  Jungkook seemed to be the only sane. It lasted less than 30 seconds though, for him wishing Seokjin would look out for Namjoon since the man tripped on thin air more than a thousand time. He got a kick on his shin too.

  “Alright, alright. Stop teasing me. We should eat lunch before our next class starts.” Namjoon changed the topic.

  “But where is your lunch?” Seokjin asked quietly. He was still half-ly in daze from finding his destined mate. A very kind and handsome Alpha, not to mention

  The table already went back to talking about their class prior to lunch period. Namjoon chimed in with them, before he turned towards Seokjin.

  The Omega just realized he sit too close to his mate. He shyly scouted away, but Namjoon caught his shoulder.

  “I actually bought a sandwich, but when I caught you earlier, I dropped it.” Namjoon sheepishly said.

  Seokjin hopelessly looked at his mate smiling at him with his heart beating louder than the rain. He looked so effortlessly beautiful. What had Seokjin done to deserve to call this person his?

  “Share with me.” Seokjin shyly looked away when he caught himself starring a little too long at the Alpha’s face. He took out one of the four sandwiches he had made, and shared it with Namjoon.

  The Alpha thanked him. He ate with his left hand since his right hand was still holding on Seokjin’s shoulder.

  Seokjin didn’t complain though. If anything, he scooted in closer to Namjoon while he ate his own lunch.

  It had been less than half an hour that they ha found each other’s, but staying away from Namjoon felt so wrong and restless. The Alpha presented calmed him down so easily.

——

  Namjoon actually had a basketball practice with Yoongi and Hoseok (they had two matches to play, one on July and another on October). Even though the July match was 2 months away, Yoongi and the couch was very strict about it. No matter how insane their school loads and works were, Jimin had told him they would never missed the basketball practice.

  So when Namjoon decided to go to the Study Room with Seokjin, Yoongi gave him a look but commented nothing. Hoseok just winked at them before he and Yoongi had to go.

  Jimin had an make-up class for his Financial Management class while Taehyung had a commission to finish (his side-paying job was being a digital artist). Jungkook had a make-up class with Jimin.

  Seokjin had to admit, the universe must have known which person was suitable with which person. Because he and Namjoon clicked immediately as soon as they started conversing.

  They started with the usual introduction of themselves before things went just smooth like butter from there.

  With 2 hours of his free time, Seokjin got to know so much about Namjoon. The Alpha was a funny and easygoing person. He didn’t look at him differently when Seokjin asked him to explain what he was mentioned.

  Seokjin had informed him of his strict parents, to which got Namjoon interested.

  “I wonder when they know I’ve met you, would they be less strict?”

  “Let’s find out together, then.”

  Seokjin had blushed because who wanted to meet their partner’s parents only 3 hours after knowing each other. Not all mates ended up together. So before anything, they dated. If they deemed themselves not suitable for each other’s, they would remain friends and go on their way.

  “You wouldn’t mind?” Seokjin asked in a small voice. Meeting parents was a big deal.

  “I wouldn’t.” Namjoon answered honestly. “Why would I mind meeting my in-law?”

  Seokjin had cough aggressively. Namjoon apologized to him, in a playful manner because he caught on Seokjin was just shy from his red ear. The Omega caught on it too, and playfully hit his shoulder for laughing at him.

  Turned out, being with Namjoon was like breathing oxygen. It was not hard and foreign at all.

  They went on 2 dates before Seokjin finally took Namjoon to meet his parents. Who also eagerly wanted to meet Namjoon too. Seokjin’s parents loved Namjoon instantly so did his older brother. Seokjin could see his parents heaved a relief sigh. Seokjin had a feeling his parents worry had lessen so it meant he could do things as long as he was with Namjoon.

  Seokjin didn’t get to meet Namjoon’s Beta Mother until the end of May. They had been together for a month, and Seokjin felt less and less scared of something so new to him like relationship. 

  The moment Seokjin met Namjoon’s mom, she squealed and hugged him tightly. She shed tears because she finally got see his son being with his mate which was her second biggest wish. Her number one wish was for Namjoon to be success, which he was on the way there. Seokjin loved Namjoon’s mom dearly too for she was very nice and opened to love Seokjin as her own. Seokjin loved getting as much love as he could.

——

  Time flew so fast that Seokjin and Namjoon had known and became closer for 2 months now. Seokjin had never been happier than when he could stay with Namjoon.

  Namjoon, his mate who would come to bike him to school and back home (Namjoon rarely drove as he loved to be eco-friendly, also he loved biking) and the person who always made sure Seokjin was safe and laughing. Namjoon, who Seokjin slowly giving his heart too. It seemed like a speedy progress, but Seokjin felt like it what was meant to be. He was meant to love Namjoon.

  But, something came to make a doubt within his mind.

  On the July match, a week before summer break, Seokjin and his three friends came to support the basketball team.

  Seokjin was excited to see how the basketball game was (the game was at 7pm, and Seokjin only had seen his university’s basketball team practice.) 

  Seokjin admittedly knew little about the game, but as it went by, he knew Namjoon’s team was going to win.

  And they won. Of course, his mate and friends were the best players of all. 

  Seokjin and his friends screamed so loud that their throats hurt. They care nothing though because they were happy for their school’s victory, and that, except Taehyung and Jungkook, Jimin and Seokjin drooled over their hot mates.

  When the barricade was left so players’ family could come to seek them, Seokjin clutched water bottles for their friends.

  He gave his mate first, obviously, before he gave others’ teammates.

  Then came Hoseok. He didn’t know how he felt about Hoseok. He thought the tiny crush he had on the Alpha had already vanished the moment he met Namjoon.

  So it came as a surprised as to why his heart rate pick up so fast and loudly just because Hoseok caught the last water bottle out of his hand and thanked him with a huge grin? Hoseok used to smile towards him before. He would be lying if all of those times, his heart stayed still.

  The confusion caused Seokjin to have a few bad nights of sleep.

  He decided to seek his friend help on the last day of the first semester of his sophomore year.

  Seokjin had stayed late to wait for Namjoon because they had a date later on after his 4pm exam ended.

  Seokjin had to take an exam this morning, so he had a free afternoon. When he texted Jimin to ask where he was, the other Omega told him he was at the Dance Clubhouse. Jimin danced after exams because he hated letting his anxiety got the best of him.

  “Jimin?” Seokjin pushed open the door.

  “Come in.”

  Jimin paused the music he was playing before he came to sit beside Seokjin.

  “Tell me?”

  Seokjin shook his head. He loved how Jimin just asked right away. He knew Seokjin had crush on Hoseok. Taehyung knew too, but Seokjin didn’t think it was suitable to talk about Jungkook’s close friend (Jungkook’s mom and Hoseok’s mom were best friends) to the others Omega and his partner. He didn’t want to put Jungkook in an uncomfortable position.

  Seokjin spilled how he felt regarding Hoseok’s issue. His heart felt so heavy just from thinking how could he think of someone else when he already had Namjoon? Didn’t crush suppose to be just a crush?

  By the end of his rant, Jimin advised him to talk to Namjoon about it before he told Hoseok the truth. Only when the truth came out that Seokjin could live his life without being confused and doubts. Jimin told him to think if he didn’t solve it now, it might cause troubles in the near future.

  Seokjin did think about that. Namjoon would get hurt if he thought Seokjin romantically liked his best friend when what Seokjin felt was just a confusion. However, it was easy said than done though. By the time they were done, Namjoon came knocked on the door. Seokjin had told him that he came to find Jimin.

  “Jimin, hey.” Namjoon called. “You guys done sharing secret?”

  Namjoon teased them before Seokjin whined.

  “Just take your boyfriend on date. He was stressed out from his exams.” Jimin commented.

  Seokjin exchanged a few looks with Jimin before he went on dates with Namjoon.

  Seokjin had a lot to think.

  After that date night on the last day of the final week, Seokjin noticed Namjoon became weird.

  He noticed straight away during their date that something had disturbed Namjoon’s mind. He talked and laughed with Seokjin. But from Seokjin’s experience, he knew this Namjoon was just faked laughing. His laugh was too dry, and he didn’t tease Seokjin when the Omega relayed a bad joke his friend had told him to him.

  He looked a bit absentminded. And it only escalated day by day. Seokjin had a theatre club to attend even his school term had ended.

  Namjoon still came to fetch him with his bike. But instead of kissed his forehead like usual, Namjoon just smiled at him. Instead of having his hand on Seokjin’s back, Namjoon walked a bit further back from him. The most red flag among all, was Namjoon calling him “Seokjin” instead of the cute nicknames he had came up with exclusively for Seokjin.

  Seokjin... Seokjin felt helpless. Why did Namjoon change? What was the matter?

  And even though Seokjin felt so guiltily for asking since he felt like he should be able to tell what his mate was thinking/mad about, he still chose to ask Namjoon straight.

  When Namjoon had came to fetch him from his club activity, Seokjin invited him to stay for dinner. Namjoon excused himself for having works in the evening. Seokjin knew it was just an excuse. So he unleashed his pouting. He won.

  His Omega father was delighted to have Namjoon joining them for dinner. Before the dinner was ready, Seokjin and Namjoon went to Seokjin’s room to watch a show.

  Usually, Namjoon would hold Seokjin inside his arms when they had a stay-in movie night together.

  However, for today, he just laid down and loosely held Seokjin’s fingers. He didn’t cuddle him like usual. His eyes were on the screen, but it seemed it wasn’t the thing he was concentrating on.

  “Joonie hyung.” Seokjin shook his shoulder. The Alpha kept on starring at the TV even though Seokjin had already turned it off 15 minutes ago.

  “Huh?”

  “What’s on your mind?” Seokjin asked.

  Namjoon looked like wanted nothing more than not answering it. But he had never been a good liar before, also now. He wished he was.

  “I.... it’s nothing.” Namjoon tried to avoid as much, but Seokjin didn’t have any of it.

  “You’ve changed, Hyung, these past few days.” Seokjin said. A bit choked up.

  “Ohh!”

  “What happened?”

  Namjoon pushed him to sit up, so did Seokjin.

  One look at teary eyes Seokjin, and every walls Namjoon had built to hide his feelings came crushing down.

  “I overheard what you’d told Jimin.” Namjoon whispered.

  The Omega breathe hitched. His worst nightmare was playing in front of him.

  After he talked to Jimin, he had thought of a way to tell Namjoon about his crush on Hoseok before. He also planned to confess truthfully about what always seemed to happen to him whenever he saw Hoseok’s smile and laugh.

  He had planned to talk to Namjoon after he was done with his theatre club activities, but this....

  “I overheard, and I have been thinking.” Namjoon said softly. He looked at Seokjin straight in his eyes. He still gave Seokjin a tiny gentle smile. The omega wanted to cry. “I want you to be happy, Seokjin.”

  “W-what do you mean?” Seokjin crawled to close the distance between them, but Namjoon stood up from the bed.

  “You are the person who have my heart, Seokjin.” Namjoon smiled, his voice was tiny and shook up. “And I’d heard how you feel about Hoseok. That’s how I feel about you. I know what it is.”

  “Joonie hyung...”

  “You are the person who my heart yearns for. I want nothing but seeing you happy, and if Hoseok could be that happiness, I wouldn’t mind leaving.”

  “No... Joonie hyung...”

  Namjoon gave him a small smile before he interrupted his Omega mate. “You don’t have to worry, Seokjin. I won’t leave you. It would harm you, our bond wise. But.... I think you should tell Hoseok how you feel. It’s best if you can make my best friend happy just as much you have made me. Hoseok is the most amazing person I have ever met, please make him happy too.”

  Just like that, Namjoon took his jacket and left Seokjin alone in his room.

  The Omega was shocked by the turnout. And when it passed, it hit him like a train truck.

  His destined mate just told him to get together with his best friend. Namjoon had decided he would be out if Seokjin being with Hoseok made the Omega the happiest.

  His Alpha... his Alpha just allowed him to love some else when he had his heart broken because of what Seokjin had ranted to Jimin about.

  The room was too empty for Seokjin, and that when it hit him his Alpha had left him alone.

  Seokjin stopped biting his lips and let the sob took over. He sobbed so hard and loud that his Omega father panicked. He cried until he fainted.

  Namjoon must have been berated by his parents that he came to apologize to them and Seokjin, although none of them knew what happened that evening. They thought it was just a relationship small disagreement. 

  Seokjin had tried to explain, but it seemed Namjoon had already had his mind set. Why would he do that? Did he not love Seokjin enough, that he could just push him towards Hoseok this easily. Not to mention, he didn’t listen to Seokjin and just told him to talk to Hoseok.

  All of his action this week prior to what happened on yesterday evening started to make sense now.

  Seokjin remembered when they went out to eat together after the final week really ended, Namjoon took a seat opposite of Hoseok and had Seokjin took a seat beside the other Alpha. The day after that, he had Hoseok coming to pick Seokjin up because he said he was busy. Hoseok was confused too since he knew Namjoon had no works, but still went along because sometimes Namjoon also didn’t tell him what he planned to do. Then the next day, Namjoon would only talk about Hoseok this Hoseok that to Seokjin, telling him how a wonderful man his best friend were.

  It started making sense now, with the way Namjoon had acted.

  Seokjin couldn’t believe he didn’t notice it.

  So when today, Namjoon still smiled sadly at him before he pretended to have thing to do and had Hoseok carried Seokjin’s theatre material to the club (the basketball team had practice in every Saturday morning.) before he exited the school ground.

  Hoseok,too, noticed how Namjoon acting weird. He asked Seokjin. The Omega hid nothing. He spilled the bean to him.

  Seokjin started by confessing about his feeling towards Hoseok, then recounted what happened to him when Hoseok was as much smile to him.

  Instead of freaking out, Hoseok helped him work through his confusion.

  “How do you feel?” Hoseok twined Seokjin and his hands together.

  They now currently were inside the library to talk privately.

  Seokjin stared at their hands in silent. “Weird. Joonie hyung would caress me with his thumb when we holds hand. And,”

  Seokjin squeezed their hands together.

  “And, how do you feel?”

  “I don’t like it.” Seokjin pulled away. “Joonie Hyung’s would cover my hand wholly, and it’s warmth and cozy and... I feel safe and protected.”

  Seokjin looked at his hand that Hoseok had held. He wiped it with his pants. Hoseok nodded at him understandingly.

  “Can you look at me?” Hoseok asked. “Can you look at me in the eyes, and tell me how you feel?”

  Seokjin did as he was told. At first, his heart jumped. Hoseok was very handsome, as he always had known.

  Million thoughts swirled inside his head. Seokjin frowned. When he looked into Namjoon’s eyes, adoration, admiration and protectiveness dripping out of Namjoon’s. His heart could tell.

  But with Hoseok, it made his heart beat faster for two seconds and that was it.

  When he looked at Namjoon, his heart melt and he just wanted to drown himself inside his mate’s warmth.

  “That’s it.” Seokjin stood up. “Hoseok hyung. Can you help me with something?”

——

  Hoseok really wanted to kick his dorky and too-nice-for-his-own-good best friend. Namjoon sometimes seemed to make thing difficult for himself.

  Seokjin created a group chat and told everyone what had happened to him and Namjoon.

  Yoongi cursed Namjoon for jumping to conclusion by his own. Jimin reminded him that Namjoon was in love with Seokjin the whole time (Seokjin was too dumb with this kind of thing. Still, all he knew was he wanted no one but Namjoon. He had never put name on what he felt for Namjoon) and that when people were in love, they became stupid and crazy.

  Taehyung and Jungkook had been in disbelief about the whole thing, but they understood the fault lie 50/50 on both Seokjin and Namjoon.

  Seokjin could have thought of discussing about it with Namjoon earlier, and Namjoon shouldn’t decide on something like pushing his mate and his best friend together by himself.

  Namjoon had turned his phone off. They called his mom because they couldn’t reach him, and Seokjin became restless.

  He told them in panic that he felt less and less of Namjoon’s presence within their bond.

  Horror set through blood because.... it could be two things. 1, Namjoon wanted to break their bond (rare but not unheard of) by staying 72 house away from him or 2. Namjoon was in danger.

  Their friends panicked too, and they became even more panicked when Namjoon’s mom said she hadn’t heard from him today.

  They set to find Namjoon at any place possible.

  Only to come across the alley close to his apartment complex, and saw him laying on the ground helplessly.

  They had lost hopes, but Seokjin wanted to check the garden which happened to be close to the alley.

  They decided to check it too, and saw Namjoon laying on the ground, beaten. He reeked of alcohol too.

  “Oh my god.” Seokjin cradled his mate face, tears flowing down his cheeks. “Joonie...”

  He choked up when he saw the black and blue bruises on his face and arms.

  “Let’s get him clean up and nurse him back.”

  They hauled him up towards his apartment. Despite Jungkook had much more strength than him, Seokjin didn’t let the older carried his mate up to his place. He did it himself.

  All of them crammed inside Namjoon’s tiny studio apartment. They decided to stay the night to help Seokjin nursing Namjoon back.

  Even though the wound and bruises was now treated, and thankfully Seokjin saw there were no head injury or anything serious, he couldn’t stop his sob.

  Why and how did he get hurt? Most importantly, why did he drink so much until he got beaten black and blue? Was it because of Seokjin?

  The Omega didn’t sleep a wink the whole night, just so he could hug and whispered apology into Namjoon’s ears.

  His hesitation and confusion had almost caused his mate’s life, and Seokjin almost lost the person he loved with all of his being. He would do anything to redeem his mistakes.

——

  Seeing bruises on Namjoon’s face troubled Seokjin’s mind a lot. He couldn’t sleep because he was worried Namjoon might wake up in pains and confusion, and he wasn’t here to help.

  When he was done showering, Seokjin wore his mate clothes before he picked up his phone. His parents were already informed (seemed like one of them took a picture of Seokjin cleaning the living and captioned as staying at Namjoon’s for the night) and they only texted him to be safe and returned home before tomorrow evening.

  He searched for Namjoon’s charger and found his phone was charging. No wonder, he only had his wallet with him. His phone must be out of battery, that was why they couldn’t reach him. Seokjin took Namjoon’s off to charge his.

  After that, he crawled on the bed, intently to cuddle his mate loosely. But seeing his bruises, he felt like he couldn’t touch him light enough.

  Seokjin just laid down, and let tears fell freely. Thankfully, the bedroom had a slide door separating the small bedroom with the living where their friends were all camping outside.

  The Omega bit his lips when he touched each bruises. Everyone were surprised, especially Yoongi and Hoseok for they were the longest friends of his and they all vouched to Seokjin that Namjoon was never ever a trouble. He was gentle soul. He loved helping others, without expected anything in return. He wouldn’t hurt a fly. Namjoon was the most gentle soul, and to see him being kicked and got bruises had them all shocked and speechless.

  “I’m sorry, Joonie hyung. I love you too. So much.” Seokjin whispered. His heart hurt thinking of the way Namjoon’s look so heartbroken when he said he didn’t mind if Seokjin acted by his crush and get together with Hoseok.

  Did love make people this crazy and blind? Why Namjoon couldn’t see he was the happiest with him, and that they should talk instead of whatever Namjoon had in his head?

  Seokjin sighed breathlessly from the snot blocking his airway, before he scooted in a bit closer. He kissed his Alpha’s nose before he let himself take a quick nap.

——

  Seokjin stirred awaken when he felt Namjoon moved beside him. He quickly woke up, and looked over his Alpha to see him was waking up.

  He winced when his hand accidentally slapped his own cheeks.

  Seokjin quickly soothed his cheek, cooing soft noises to calm his Alpha down.

  When he felt Namjoon was awake enough, he sat up to get water and Tylenol for his mate.

  “Joonie hyung, drink this.”

  Namjoon sleepily sat up. He looked disoriented. When he noticed Seokjin, he let his weight toppled over his Omega.

  Seokjin rubbed his scent gland against his mate’s hair, cooing when he felt Namjoon breathing deeply.

  “It’s okay. It’s okay. Eat this banana and drink this pill.”

  Namjoon did as told. He swallowed whatever Seokjin put in front of him before downed a bottle of water.

  “Good?”

  Namjoon nodded. Seokjin knew his mind was much more clearer. The Omega kept rubbing his mate’s back, while also rubbing his scent all over his Alpha. He had heard it calmed the others down when they had their mate’s scent clinging tight to them.

  “Is your bruises still hurt?” Seokjin asked, hand still rubbing his back.

  “Not so much.” Namjoon mumbled against his shoulder.

  “What happened?” Seokjin warily asked.

  “I was stupid.” Namjoon whispered. “I was stupid, and hurt both of us. I feel like dying inside. I didn’t mean to make you cry, Petal, never.”

  Seokjin pulled Namjoon a bit closer that he practically sat on the Omega’s laps. The nickname was back, and Seokjin knew they were going to be okay.

  “You aren’t, Joonie hyung.” Seokjin whispered. He kissed his head. “You are just too kind for your own good.”

  Seokjin felt like Namjoon was about to rebut back, so he continued.

  “I talked to Hoseok hyung, I mean I confessed to him and told him everything.” Namjoon went still. “We talked, and I realized it’s nothing more than a quick attraction and admiration.”

  Namjoon didn’t comment. He kept breathing slowly and listened to every words Seokjin spoke.

  “We talked, and he asked how I really feel for him. And it turned out, I see nothing but you even when he was staring into my eyes. I couldn’t concentrate on him because all I could think was how your eyes filling with love and adoration and admiration for me. All I see was your nose that usually bbobbo me. Your lips that usually kissed every inches of my face. And just you, you who would embrace and protect me from the world. I only see you, Joonie hyung, I became blind to everything around me. My blindness almost caused me you. I didn’t take time to think how I feel, how you feel when I hid something like this from you. And it’s my fault for not telling you from the beginning that I used to have a crush on Hoseok hyung. It was a childish crush, and it was nothing compared to the love and warmth you’ve shown me. I love you, and I don’t think I will ever love anyone more than.” Seokjin laughed wetly. “I don’t think I can give my love to anyone who isn’t you. Maybe our future children, but for now, my heart and soul are all yours.” 

  Namjoon didn’t say anything, hug he didn’t need too. Because Seokjin could feel his body shook.

  The Omega gently helped both of them lying down. He gathered Namjoon into his arms, humming soothing tunes to calm the crying Alpha.

  “You will always have me. Anything else, we can learn together along the way.” Seokjin whispered. “I love you, so much.”

  Namjoon didn’t reply, but he didn’t need too as he pulled away to pull his mate into a deep kiss.

  His throat was clogged up, even though he wanted to say a lot of things to Seokjin. But that was okay, Seokjin understood him completely as he pulled him in, closer, and kissed him with passion.

  They exchanged small kisses after the big kiss until both of them fell asleep. Seokjin would like to say he remembered and heard Namjoon clearly telling him how much he loved Seokjin. To the moon and back.

——

  The morning after the incident, Namjoon got scolded for his life by Hoseok. Seokjin told himself to never getting on Hoseok’s bad side because Namjoon looked like a wound puppy now.

  The truth came out in the morning, after they filled their stomach with dumplings soup.

  Turned out, Namjoon had always felt in-debt to Hoseok. Their history went  way back before Yoongi came into their circle. Before Hoseok moved to the city, to live closer to Jungkook’s family, he had lived in Ilsan until he was 10 years old. As he was 7 month older than Namjoon, he used to shield the younger from getting bully for just being an awkward self and being a kid nerd who would rather sit under the tree reading books than playing marbles like others. Hoseok had always been the older brother to Namjoon in every way possible. The young Alpha had always looked up to his friend, and wanted to do anything to repay him for everything he had ever done for him. And it had came to his attention that Hoseok was alone. He wished Hoseok was happy. And Seokjin made him the happiest. He connected the dot when he overheard Seokjin and Jimin’s talked that day.

  Hoseok wrecked his head twice in rage, more for being disappointed that Namjoon would think he would take Seokjin away when Seokjin was Namjoon’s world and also one of his close friends.

  They had resolved it quickly with a tight hug, and a promise that Namjoon would stop jumping into conclusion and being so kind/dumb that it became this hilarious.

  At the end of the day, Namjoon took them to eat lunch and paid for any of their orders as a thank-you for caring about him and being his friends.

  The seven of them became even more closer than the last time. They were family now. 

——

  Seokjin’s parents were very displeased with Namjoon for making their son cried. But Seokjin immediately explained it was a misunderstanding, and with Namjoon being so apologetic, Seokjin’s parents let it go.

  But Seokjin didn’t have to know Namjoon was lectured by Seokjin’s Beta Father when he helped his Omega father with the dishes.

  Since they hadn’t sealed marks on each other’s necks yet, Seokjin’s parents allowed them to cuddle and all but no closing the door. Namjoon could spend the night, but if they caught them doing things inappropriately both of them would face the wrath of Seokjin’s parents.

  Namjoon laughed as soon as Seokjin’s parents left. He didn’t laugh at them, but more laughing at Seokjin because he was very embarrassed and his face was so red that he dived straight into his duvet to hide.

  Namjoon had to coat him out of it with a promise of tiny kisses and he would stay the night.

  Seokjin had never been more happier than having his face hiding in Namjoon’s chest and listened to his heartbeat rhythm on the verge of falling asleep.

——

  Their relationship bloomed beautifully from day to day.

  By the end of July, Seokjin could feel himself getting restless. He knew why, because in March, when his heat was about to hit 2 weeks later, Seokjin experienced the same symptoms.

  He promised him to inform Namjoon about the upcoming. At first, he felt so uneasy about it. What if Namjoon didn’t want to? It was less than 4 months they had been together. And the sex topic had never been discussed.

  Jimin scolded him for being hesitant again when he should just talk to his partner. He also reminded him of what had happened when he didn’t tell Namjoon things previously.

  So, on the night he and Namjoon would have their Friday Date night, Seokjin asked if they could stay in and watch Netflix. He didn’t mention the chill.

  Seokjin gulped as soon as Namjoon cuddled him from his behind. The Alpha being affectionate with him was not something new, but he became much clingy (not that Seokjin complained) than usual.

  Was he affected by Seokjin’s upcoming heat? He had read on this topic before. Those who had experienced countless heats came forwards to claim that their mate would become overprotective and much more clingier than usual even though they didn’t know the heat was coming because it was in the bond and also their instinct told them to just project with no question.

  It must be it. Because Namjoon would make sure Seokjin had his lunch cooked (he could make simples dishes that he didn’t usually do), had his bottle always filled with water, had his bag carried and wouldn’t let Seokjin do things by himself, and that any discomfort in Seokjin’s body language would send the Alpha off the radar.

  Seokjin was in disbelief when Namjoon freaked out after Seokjin told him he was on his period, and the Alpha wouldn’t even let him lift a finger.

  It was frustrating to be babied so much when he had been babied his whole life. Yet, at the same time, it was so enduring to see Namjoon tried the best he could to take care of every Seokjin’s needs. Usually, some partners would be shy and embarrassed to buy their parents sanity pads. But not Namjoon.

  He listened carefully to Seokjin when the Omega explained to him which pads he used during when and where. After Seokjin had his pads ran out, Namjoon went to get him the exact same product without got asked to.

  Seokjin admitted he fell in love harder with Namjoon every seconds passed by. His heart and thought were filled with the Alpha, and he was certain it would be like that for the rest of his life. Their bond had never been weak, even after an hour of just knowing each other, their bond strongly molded.

  “Sweetie, baby dear, why are you spacing out?” Namjoon kissed Seokjin forehead, startling the Omega back to the reality.

  “A-ahh... just thinking.” Seokjin moved backwards to press harder against Namjoon. He inaudibly gasped when he could feel Namjoon’s junior was already half-hard. 

  “What got my candy thinking so hard?” Namjoon asked, chuckling into his hair.

  Seokjin blushed. He felt so loved by his Alpha, that it was insane to think Namjoon would be weird out when Seokjin talked to him about his heat.

  “It’s just... promise you won’t think it’s weird?” Seokjin turned around to face his boyfriend.

  “Of course I promise.” Namjoon said, eyes looking into Seokjin’s for whatever trouble him. “Tell me.”

  “My heat might be here in the next two weeks.” Seokjin blurted out which caused Namjoon to cough. It was unexpected, but really. It was just sooner or later that they had to talk about it.

  After all, spending Heat or Rut alone after bond forming could cause fetal pains to both sides.

  “I want to ask if you mind spending it with me?” Seokjin bit his lips.

  It was uncommon for mates to not spending their Heat or Rut together after finding each other, but that didn’t mean it had never happened. His high school biology teacher had told them the level of pain, and it wasn’t pretty.

  “Love, do you even have to ask? Of course, I’m more than glade to help out. If you are okay with it.”

  “I wouldn’t ask if I’m not okay with it.” Seokjin laughed as it was so obvious he was more than okay for Namjoon to make love to him.

  “That was what you were worrying about the whole evening?”

  “You could feel it?”

  “I did.” Namjoon kissed his nose. “Darling, our bond is now completely settled and connected. I could feel your worry through it.”

  Yeah right, he forgot the bond affected the Alpha much more if it were about intense feelings.

  “Hahahaha... yeah... but it’s not the only thing I was worrying of.”

  Namjoon lifted one of his eyebrows, which FUCK, looked so attractive. Seokjin felt his juice got squeezed out.

  “Ihadneverhadrealsexbefore.” Seokjin spoke quickly.

  “Babe, you gonna tell me slowly. You never had what?”

  “Sex. I have never had it, I mean with real people. I of course fucked my dildo during my previous Heat.”

  Namjoon turned red at the reply. He coughed awkwardly.

  “I-if you want it, tell me when you are ready. Of course if you don’t want your first time with me, we c-“

  Seokjin slapped his hand on the Alpha’s mouth.

  “Don’t ever think I would have my virgin taken by anyone who isn’t my mate, Kim Namjoon. I might be nice, but don’t try lowering yourself like that. You want me to chopchop you?”

  Seokjin narrowed eyes at him. Him being too considerate of Seokjin was starting to get annoyed.

  “I just thought you might want to... you know..”

  “No, I don’t know and I don’t care. I want you to make my first time memorable.”

  “Of course, I would, love. Anything for you. It’s just...”

  “Just nothing.” Seokjin huffed before he plushed himself to kneel up and thrower his legs on Namjoon to straddle him. “Can you not think of what you thought is good for me might not be what I want? Why can’t you think me having my first time with you is the start of our love making journey?”

  Seokjin shivered in excitement when he felt Namjoon’s dick jerked up.

  The Alpha looked at Seokjin, without blinking. At the mention of love making had his mood switched and his too-thoughtful-too-dumb self got lit up with heat and wanted.

  “Beside,” Seokjin pretended to adjust himself to sit comfortably, but it was just him rutting against Namjoon’s hard length. “you don’t want to see how much tighter I would be around you?”

  If the Seokjin before meeting Namjoon saw this Seokjin, he would yell WHAT THE FUCK and called exorcist to kick whatever this brave and naughty spirit out from his body.

  But this current Seokjin was very tired of Namjoon who would not take thing further than kissing when he had given hints quite a handful time in the past. He knew Namjoon wanted him, as he too wanted Namjoon since their first kiss. Because the Alpha was a natural worry-wart and too thoughtful of his own good, he cared nothing of his urge, instead focusing on loving Seokjin.

  Seokjin didn’t have any of it, that was the reasons he bravely recruited Jimin and Taehyung to teach him how to rile his Alpha so he would take the thing further. The Omega wished his Heat wouldn’t be the first time he had Namjoon drilling inside of him.

  According to his own observations, Namjoon had a very firm and long and thick cock that he didn’t want to miss tasting it anymore.

  When Namjoon replied nothing, just squeezed his hips abit too hard and gaze much more intense with his arousal filled up the air, Seokjin decided to take action.

  Since his Alpha didn’t start, he would be by taking off the white tee he had gladly stole from Namjoon’s wardrobe.

  The battle had begun.

——

  Namjoon gulped when his Omega mate took his shirt off to reveal his lingerie bra. The red color looked so good on his milky skin, with a bow tied style being in the center.

  Seokjin crawled up to kneel over Namjoon’s stomach.

  “Joonie hyung, Jinnie’s chest feel uncomfortable. Would you like to help taking it off?”

  Seokjin bended his body sexily forward after sitting down on Namjoon clothed stomach.

  The speechless Alpha got his eyes pulled off of Seokjin. Seokjin wore nothing but his lingerie set, and Alpha quick to realize he only had Namjoon’s tee on and nothing else beside the set.

  Namjoon gulped audibly when he got his eyes full of the product hiding Seokjin’s private. Again, the red color looked so perfect on his milk skin, and with two bows tied each side of his hips caused Namjoon to grow restless.

  Seokjin whined when all Namjoon did was look and not touch.

  “Oppa,” Seokjin unleashed his kink. “Please, Jinnie wants these off.”

  “Fuck.”

  Without further conversation, Namjoon took Seokjin into the bedroom. He would come to shut everything off after he was done worshiping his precious mate.

——

  Seokjin woke up around mid-morning. The sound of cars passing by causing the tired Omega to wake up.

  Seokjin whined when he tried to move. It wasn’t because Namjoon had his arms around Seokjin, but because his pussy felt so sore. A good sore that Seokjin would never ever get enough of.

  Seokjin blushed when he recalled their moments together last night. Last night was the second best thing that had ever happened to him. The first being he had Namjoon as his mate. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t have experienced Namjoon’s giant cock penetrated him so deep he shot his cum directly into Seokjin’s womb.

  The Omega blushed again when he remembered they had not one or two love making, but four times of it. It was a wonder how Seokjin managed to withstand his pussy getting penetrated twice, his ass once and his mouth once. He praised himself for being able to take Namjoon’s knot to his pussy and ass.

  Namjoon stirred awake as he felt Seokjin strong emotion through their bond.

  “Sweetheart?” Namjoon whispered with his morning voice. Seokjin’s slick slide out of him as Namjoon pulled him against the Alpha’s chest. “You sleep well?”

  “Thanks to you, I did.” Seokjin beamed shyly. He now needed to ask for what he wanted before his courage he had build from last night dissolved into thin air. “But, I would love it if you fill me again. Please.”

  Namjoon’s eyes quickly turned dark red. Sleep was clear from his eyes when he climbed over Seokjin.

  “What does my lovely want?”

  “Your cock please.” Seokjin 🥺 him. And Namjoon was sold.

  He quickly climbed off to lay on the right side, and moved Seokjin so his back faced Namjoon.

  Without much preparation, from Seokjin request, Namjoon pushed himself into Seokjin’s hot and wet vagina.

  Seokjin moaned softly as Namjoon fucked into him. So good, he felt so good having his Alpha’s long and thick cock fucking him first thing in the morning.

  As Namjoon lazily fucked him, it took him 15 minutes to come. He was ready to pull out before the knot came and went to eat Seokjin out, but Seokjin had other plan.

  He pulled himself away to climb on Namjoon. He sunk back on his mate’s cock, and started fucking himself faster.

  Since Namjoon had a thing for lingerie, only the bra that was taken off. Seokjin still wore his string panty. The string made contacted with his clit, causing pleasure to increase.

  “Babe, no knotting.”

  The first knot was an accident also because Seokjin begged to be bred. The second knot luckily was in Seokjin’s ass so the chance of risk was low.! But a third one, i-

  His thought was cut when he felt his knot went past Seokjin’s vagina mouth. The Omega pushed himself against Namjoon’s chest to steady and rock himself harder so the knot could went past his rim easily and locked them together.

  Namjoon commented nothing for his baby wanted to it, so he let him have it.

   Seokjin collapsed on Namjoon when the knot was finally locked them together and Namjoon’s cock kept filling Seokjin fuller minutes by minutes.

  For now, they held and bathed in each other’s warmth and satisfied feeling.

  After they had their stomach filled with an early lunch, Namjoon and Seokjin would have to talk about safety and all.

  Namjoon knew Seokjin wouldn’t appreciate it if he got knocked up before he could build his own career and enjoy his life to the fullest before family had to happen.

———

  Namjoon didn’t expect Seokjin to cry when they finally got to talk.

  The Alpha quickly assured his lover that it wasn’t because he didn’t want to fill Seokjin to the brim, but it was the risk he didn’t want to take. He would never take away Seokjin’s bright future just because he wanted to always fill Seokjin with his cum all the time.

  “Let’s find a solution to it. I don’t like having a plastic in between us when I’m not in Heat.” Seokjin had suggested which what now got Namjoon to sit in front of his laptop and scrolled through option after option.

  He noted down what could possibly be the option so they could have unprotected sex all they wanted without having to worry about an accident pregnancy.

  On the next Friday date night, they ordered take-out and got to sit down to discuss about their options after a week of hectic new semester schedules and others activities.

  Condoms and Pull-out were crossed of the list, temporarily. Cock ring was only for fun, and birth control pills could be harmful for Seokjin in a long term used. Then, there were taking monthly control shot (it was just birth control pills, just one shot per month) and Vasectomy.

  When Namjoon had came across Vasectomy, he was curious about this option. He dug deeper for more important. It wasn’t a shot like Birth control shot, but a small surgery to block sperm from reaching the semen that could cause pregnancy. Semen still existed which meant Namjoon could fill Seokjin just as he wanted without having to worry about accidentally knocking Seokjin up. Still, there was a small chance there was a slip-up even after the surgery.

  Pregnancy was not something horrible, but both of them mutually understand it would be beneficial for them to start their family after their their careers took off first.

  When Namjoon presented his research to Seokjin about the surgery, Seokjin was scared.

  Surgery, small or big, was still a surgery. The procedure might be quick, but there was still risk within it.

  Namjoon insisted this was the best option for them, as he had an insurance covered 80% of the surgery and that he had checked with Asan Medical Centre. Their success rate was high, so it could be trusted.

  After a while of thinking, Seokjin voiced out he wished to cuddle while thinking about it.

  Namjoon was willing to take risks just because he wanted Seokjin to get what he wanted. It was a heartwarming gesture, but at the same time, the Omega had this fear that the risk would occurred and Namjoon could be in danger.

  Not having biological children were fine with Seokjin. After all, he loved children so much. So, where and who his future children were, he would love them all with his heart.

  When he discussed this concerns with Namjoon, the Alpha wholeheartedly understood where Seokjin stood. He proposed they should visit the hospital for a clearer information.

———

  Seokjin couldn’t sit still. Even though the doctor assured them it would take less as a half an hour, the Omega chest hurt from thinking about his Alpha on the surgery bed.

  After they visited the hospital for more information, they decided to do the surgery, not after informing both sides parents and their friends about their decision.

  Namjoon’s mom was more than okay with it as she was the one who lent them a ride to the hospital and was with them during the discussion, while Seokjin’s parents looked at Namjoon with admiration and adoration. They could see that he loved Seokjin so much to risk his health instead of having Seokjin taking the easier way, the pill. Both parents, more on Seokjin’s parents, insisted on paying the remaining 20% and any post-surgery/recovery fees that would be needed.

  The pair, of course, declined the offers. They had enough for the surgery as Seokjin and Namjoon put in their savings together for this event.

  Both parents wouldn’t have any of it, so in the end, they agreed to accept on the surgery fees. And for Namjoon’s recovery fees, they would pay by themselves. Seokjin had a feeling his fathers would transfer money into his account, and wouldn’t take no for an answer.

  As for their friends, since both of their parents had jobs to do, they decided to skip class altogether to come support Seokjin and Namjoon.

  For the wound would be small, and the recovery day was pinned for only 2 days in the hospital and another 4 days at home, their study wasn’t affected as much. Their professors understood, and allowed them to past any homework 10 days later than the deadline.

  The door to the surgery room opened softly. Seokjin quickly rushed towards the doctor. He was assured it went smoothly and perfectly according to plan.

  Seokjin and their friends thanked the surgeon rapidly before one of the nurses took them to Namjoon’s recovering private room. It was Seokjin’s parents who upgraded it for them, and the Omega was more than grateful.

  It took less than 10 days for Namjoon to be back as strong as a black horse. During the recovering period, Namjoon had experienced fevers and mild pain around his lower body. The doctor had informed them previously that this was the side-effect of the surgery. It wasn’t a life-threatening threat at all.

  All Namjoon had to do was trying not to overwork during the first month after the surgery, and that he had to have a check up one every 3 months counting after the surgery until the day he decided to do a reversal surgery. The check-up was to assure he was doing fine, and no infection had been occurred.

  When the two discussed about the surgery, they agreed Namjoon would do the reversal surgery when he turned 27 to avoid any risks that could happen just from him aging older.

  It was only 5 years from now, and they could enjoy an unprotected sex without worrying so much about accidental pregnancy before the next step came.

——

  As if their bonds could tell, Seokjin’s Heat didn’t come until a day before Christmas. At first, the Omega got scarred for his life, thinking something was wrong with him. But after meeting with gynecologist, Seokjin was assured it was because his body recognized that he had met his mate so it adjusted to a new time line to match Namjoon’s Rut.

  Alpha’s Rut, the most, only happened 3 times per year. For Namjoon, he only have 1 Rut per year. That when before he had met the love of his life.

  Seokjin and Namjoon prayed it would be changed for good as Heat and Rut were very painful and a waste of time. The only reason they still happened to everyone was because their DNA contented little of wolf genes steaming from their ancestors.

  Seokjin actually didn’t realize he himself was about to go into Heat, only after Namjoon walked past him that his Alpha strong and alluring scent alerted Seokjin’s system, causing the Omega to whine painfully as the Heat crashed in full-force.

  Namjoon immediately noticed his mate discomfort. He quickly dropped the suitcases he was about to bring into his room to prepare clothes for their upcoming trip to his hometown. 

  “J-joonie hyung, I think...” Seokjin couldn’t finish his sentence before the Heat crashed his lower belly, causing Seokjin to cry out. Why did it hurt so badly, than before he met Namjoon?

  “Shit.” Namjoon whispered in horror when he realized what was happening. He quickly scooped his lover up, and ran into their bedroom.

  Every plans of vacation was thrown out of the window because Seokjin’s Heat triggered Namjoon into his Rut too.

  The Alpha panted loudly when his heart beat so fast and his nose could only picked Seokjin’s scent.

  Even though both of them were crashed with pain and overwhelming of needs, they still remembered to inform both of their parents before every comprehension within them were thrown out of the window and their needs completely took over.

——

  Seokjin had to say he had never ever thought Namjoon could get this bigger during Rut. The Omega whined when the Alpha’s cock shot the last cream inside him while his knot and length kept expanding inside Seokjin's.

  This was the seventh time they had fucked to release the pains. During their first Heat and Rut Sex, all their senses were nowhere to be found. They only cared about to push the pain away, and Seokjin only wanted to be bred. Thankfully, Namjoon now could breed him as many time as they wanted without worrying. Still, Seokjin took a morning-after pill, just to be safe.

  “Alpha, help me lay down.” Seokjin whined for help.

  But it seemed like Namjoon didn’t hear any of it, as he kept on panting and starring at Seokjin without as much blinking his eyes.

  Seokjin could get why he starred at him. He was a mess. His hair was messy. His cheeks and lips were smeared with Namjoon’s cum. And his lingerie’s bra was screwed from Namjoon kept biting and sucking his milk without taking it off first (it was a gift from Namjoon himself who had spoiled him with cute sets of lingerie monthly. Some were cute, while some were for Namjoon to fuck him for 5 hours non-stop. Just on his birthday, Namjoon bought him another “no sleep tonight” set, pairing with a cat ear and a choker. He could confirm he indeed didn’t get to sleep that night on his birthday.) And his panty, it covered with Seokjin’s juice and Namjoon’s cum.

  “Stop looking at me.” Seokjin hit Namjoon’s chest, pout growing bigger. “I’m ugly and dirty right now.”

  Namjoon snapped his attention to Seokjin, finally. He growled lowly.

  “Who said you were ugly? You are the most beautiful person right now. So pretty covering in my cum.”

  Seokjin hit his chest again before he laid down on the mattress with Namjoon’s help.

  Namjoon hugged him softly. He didn’t let his hands free though for he started messaging (alright a bit difficult because of their position) Seokjin’s breasts. He played with the nips before squeezing them lightly.

  Seokjin panted as the arousal rose up again. It had been 17 hours since he went into heat. And they had fucked for 10 hours with short naps in between.

  “Fuck.” Namjoon cursed when he felt his knot had loosen up. Without wasting his time, Namjoon pulled away and pulled his cum inside Seokjin with the blue crystal clear plug he had bought for Seokjin.

  The Alpha then hovered over Seokjin to kiss him. He tasted himself on Seokjin’s tongue. He sucked it gentle, for awhile before he changed his direction to Seokjin’s breasts.

  His breasts, Namjoon would never ever get tired of them. They were so soft and squeezy and a perfect size for his hands to squeeze and for his mouth to mouth and suck on them.

  Seokjin closed his eyes in pleasure, his right hand finding Namjoon’s hair. He grabbed on it when Namjoon sucked his milk out attentively.

  The Omega could feel his juice and his Alpha’s cum flowing out of him, and the plug couldn’t stop it.

  Namjoon must have read his mind, for he stop abusing Seokjin’s tired milky boobs to kiss down and down until he reached Seokjin’s hairy pussy.

  The Alpha didn’t wait longer, and didn’t need to be told what to do for he took the plug out, then dived in for a very yummy treat.

  Seokjin moaned loudly as Namjoon’s penetrated his tongue into the Omega. From a lot of fucking these past 10 hours, Seokjin’s hole was sensitive.

  It took Namjoon licking his clit and sucking his vagina enthusiastically, Seokjin squirted straight into Namjoon’s.

  The Alpha happily drank all the given juice. When he was done, another round of love making started.

  The heat thankfully ended only after 30 hours. Which was what they had estimated. Still, it was almost the end of Christmas. The two still hadn’t opened gifts they had received from their friends and family.

  Too tired, both of them decided to open all the gifts tomorrow. Today, instead, they cleaned Namjoon’s apartment as much as their tiredness allow before they ordered take-out.

  Their first Christmas was spent being inside each other’s arms the whole time. The two had plans special occasions and activities to do together during this special time of the year, but either way, they were still grateful to be able to be together now.  They got to make snowman in the evening, before going out for an impromptu dinner date.

  Their heart and bond had never been fuller and satisfied. Seokjin had never felt this free, not until Namjoon wrapped him inside his arms and walked-waddled-them to get food.
