Chapter Text
Wonwoo always believed that he would live a happy long life with his family. Meet his lovely mate and have children. Living peacefully in a place with great views and fresh air. But, now he is. With his brother in a small apartment in Seoul. Just two of them. After their parents died in an accident, Wonwoo and Seokmin had lived their life together. Both attached to each other that no one wanted to adopt them when they lived in an orphanage. Life has never been nice to them. Wonwoo had to face up with a lot of difficulty. He didn't have any friends either except his brother. After years of miserable lives and having to get kicked out from the orphanage, Wonwoo and Seokmin started their mini happy life together. And Wonwoo was happy about that. Not wanting anything more. But after they presented, things started to change. It is always Wonwoo who protects his little brother. He made sure his brother didn't have anything less. He started to do a part time job to make a living for both him and his brother. Assured his brother that all things he has to do just be a good boy and study. But after Wonwoo was presented as an omega on his 17th birthday, things changed. Seokmin became protective over him. Especially after this incident. Things that changed their life forever. On a very quiet Sunday morning.
“Seokmin..” Wonwoo crying. Wonwoo has never cried since their parents died. But now, he is crying. Seokmin, who was making breakfast, walked towards their apartment entrance. He dropped the spatula from his hand after what he saw. Rushed towards his broken brother that sat weakly in front of their entrance, shoeless. Seokmin takes a look at his brother's state. Eyes full of tears, messy clothes, bitemark, and a mark on his neck. His brother marked.
“Hyung… What happened? Who–” Seokmin nearly screamed after seeing the mark on his brother’s neck. Wonwoo just keeps crying. And Seokmin couldn’t hold himself and hug his brother tightly. Wonwoo hugged him back and clutched his clothes. Seokmin keeps whispering to his brother that everything is going to be okay. They stay like that for a while until Wonwoo’s cry becomes sniffles. Seokmin kept on his side and hugged him. Stroke his hair. After Wonwoo calmed down, Seokmin pulled himself and wiped the tears from his brother's face.
“Let’s get you cleaned up.” Seokmin helps Wonwoo stand up and leads him to the bathroom. Wonwoo sat himself down on the toilet. Legs too tired to stand up. Seokmin removes his brother's clothes layer by layer. And everytime he removes one, Seokmin wants to cry. He removed the last layer of his brother’s clothes and couldn't help himself from being angry. Wonwoo’s body is full of bitemark. Some of them are red and the others quite purple. Seokmin holds himself upon seeing his brother’s body when Wonwoo mutters something. “What are you saying, hyung? Do you need something?”
“My eyes hurt…” Wonwoo murmurs. Eyes tightly closed.
Seokmin cups his brother’s face softly. Eyes full with concern. “Let me see.” Wonwoo opens his eyes to Seokmin. And the younger one gasped. In front of him, is Wonwoo with his right eyes turned golden. Not honey brown like his other eyes. Wonwoo keeps blinking his eyes while Seokmin looks carefully at his eyes.
“Hyung, your right eyes turned back to gold.” Wonwoo tense up. His eyes never turned back to gold for the past fifteen years. Both him and Seokmin have golden eyes. But before their parents' accident, Wonwoo had promised his mom to hide the fact about his eyes. So he never turned his eyes to its original color since then. Wonwoo closes his eyes, trying to get his eyes back to brown. But how many times he tried, it didn't come back. Seokmin looked at him worried. Stop his brother from his effort. “It’s okay, I will buy contacts for you later. Now let's clean up.”
Seokmin helped Wonwoo clean himself up. Everytime Seokmin’s hands touched his skin, Wonwoo tensed up. Seokmin tried to touch him as barely as possible. He held himself from crying in front of his brother. It was too hard seeing Wonwoo broken like this. He would never forgive whoever made his brother like this.
After they finished, Seokmin helped his brother dress up. Wonwoo murmurs a soft thank you to Seokmin. He wears his large neck turtle sweater with long pajama pants to cover up all of his bitemarks. His odd eyes look at his room door blankly. Seokmin sits down beside his brother on the bed. Eyes trail Wonwoo’s side feature. Looking again at his neck, where the mark is. Seokmin also can smell something different from Wonwoo. He definitely can smell a faint new scent over his brother's fresh iris scent. Being a beta makes him can’t really devine scent but Seokmin still can smell his brother's scent. And his brother right now has a hint of musk on him. The scent of an alpha. The alpha who marked his brother. Seokmin girth his teeth. Hands fist up with anger.
“Seokmin…” Wonwoo holds his hand. Looking at his tense brother. Seokmin melts immediately. Expression changed. Looking at his brother softly. Wonwoo looks like he has something to tell Seokmin. But he seems to hold himself.
“It’s okay, hyung. You don’t have to tell me about it. The important thing now is that you are safe with me here. Let’s figure out things together.” Seokmin squeezed his brother's hand.
“No, I..” Wonwoo starts hesitantly. Eyes can’t meet Seokmin. “It’s my own fault. I didn’t eat my suppressant.”
Seokmin's breath hitched. It breaks his heart that Wonwoo blames himself over what happened. He hugs Wonwoo when his brother starts to sob again. He rubs a circle on his brother’s back. Assured him that it is not his fault. Everything will be okay. Wonwoo sobbing. Cry his eyes out and clutch on Seokmin. They stay like that for a while. After Wonwoo can calm himself down, he pulls himself from Seokmin and says, “It’s the Prince.”
“What?!”
🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
Wonwoo walked to the big gate of Jihoon’s house. Eyes looked at the huge magnificent gate. Fascinated. He pressed the bell and waited nervously. After a while there is a voice coming out asking who is him. Wonwoo simply said his name and the gate opened itself. Wonwoo expected someone to be waiting behind the gate. But there's no one and Wonwoo looked around nervously before stepping inside. Feeling awkward because it is his first time in such a big house. Almost like a castle to him. A big statue of a horse stood above a big fountain in the center–he assumed–of the garden. And around five houses are built around the fountain like a letter U. Wonwoo once again amazed with Jihoon's house. And now he wondered how big the Palace would be if Jihoon’s house was this big. Never mind. He won't ever be in the Palace anyway. He walked on the side of the road when someone with a tuxedo ran towards him.
“Jeon Wonwoo, right?” The tuxedo man asked. Wonwoo nodded his head. “Master Jihoon already told me about your visit. Let me escort you to the library, Master Wonwoo.” The man bowed at him politely while Wonwoo just awkwardly bowed back at the man. The man then showed him the way to the library. Wonwoo followed him. Looked at the trees on the side of the road. It’s like a whole ten minutes of walking before they arrived at a big house. Wonwoo widened his eyes at the size.
“Here is Master Jihoon’s private wing. Today is Master Jihoon’s mate's birthday and there is a party at the garden. Master Jihoon said that you can find him there. If there is anything else that Master Wonwoo needs, call me with this.” The man gives him a thing that looks like a car key. There is a button there. Looks like it’s the button for the call. “And now, here is the library. Enjoy yourself, Master Wonwoo.”
The man bowed at Wonwoo again before leaving him in front of a big wooden door. Wonwoo bowed to the man and said his thank you before pushing the door. Wonwoo was faced with a large collection of books. Now how can I find the anatomy books? He thought to himself after looking at the large shelf of books. He asked Jihoon if he could borrow his anatomy books for his report and Jihoon said yes. But he can’t show it himself because of Soonyoung’s–his mate–birthday. Jihoon just said that his butler will show him the way. And now Wonwoo regrets not asking about the book's arrangements. Because he’s not sure how much time it takes for him to find the books. He can simply call the man again with the thing that he gave him. But Wonwoo didn't want to bother people with his problem. He just needs to find the school books section and find the books. Yeah, he can do that. Wonwoo put down the button and his bag before starting to wander around the library.
It’s been forty minutes into the finding when he feels the slight tingle on his stomach. Wonwoo stopped in his position. He put his hand on his forehead and felt it a little warm. Wonwoo groaned. He’s going into preheat. Wonwoo quickly walked to the table where he put his bag and started searching inside. He remembers he always brought his suppressant along with him everywhere. But how much he searched, he couldn’t find it.
“Fuck.” He hissed. Recalled that he emptied his bag before he came to Jihoon’s house because he needed to load his bag with the books. He looked at the window and groaned because it is already dark, and it’s quite dangerous for him if he wants to buy the suppressant now with his preheat. Wonwoo then tried to search inside his wallet, because sometimes he put one or two pills there for emergencies. But there’s none. Wonwoo finally opened his phone and tried to call Jihoon. He definitely has a suppressant, so he can ask Jihoon for some. But after the third time dialing Jihoon’s number, his friend didn’t answer it. It made Wonwoo frustrated because his heat can start at any time now. After thinking for a while he decided to go to the garden and find Jihoon himself. It might be the best choice he can choose right now. So Wonwoo stepped outside the library and walked through the corridors. He was wandering for a while until he could hear a few cheers from somewhere. That must be the garden. He thought. He walked to the source of the sound until he smelled it. The strong scent of musk. Wonwoo stopped himself. Froze. It smells so nice and appealing. The scent of an alpha. Wonwoo cursed under his breath. What perfect timing. He thought.
Wonwoo tried to stay lucid and walked again to the source of the sound. But the smell was so strong and nice that his mind started to become hazy. Wonwoo shook his head and tried to wake himself. He walked again to the garden but stopped again. This time it is not the smell. But the source of the smell.
A big man stood in front of him. Head low and hand on the wall. Looked like he’s drunk. The nice scent of musk attacked Wonwoo again. He tried very hard to stay awake and walk through the man. But the nice smell is really hard to ignore and Wonwoo nearly lost himself. His head was dizzy. At the perfect timing the man suddenly lost his balance and fell onto him. Wonwoo froze.
“You smell nice,” the man whispered. Sent Wonwoo to shivering. “Omega.”
Wonwoo lost himself at that one word. His omega took over. Wonwoo held the man and took a breath of the scent. Amazing. His scent is something that Wonwoo never smelt in his life. Sweet, comforting, calming, like a home. Wonwoo almost moaned, but he tried to hold himself. Fight with his omega. Wonwoo pushed the man. But his strength was not enough to move the man away from him. Instead of moving his body from Wonwoo, the man hugged him. Covering Wonwoo with his scent. Wonwoo struggled himself. But the hold became tighter. He almost successfully detached himself from the man when he licked to his scent gland. Wonwoo immediately moaned at the sensation. Now fully lost. The man started kissing him from the jaw to his lips. Wonwoo held onto the man’s shoulder to prevent himself from falling. The man quickly held his waist and the back of his neck. He deepened their kiss by tilting his head. Wonwoo moaned between the kisses. Mouth open to give the man access. The man bit his lips and licked it. He pushed Wonwoo to the near wall with a loud crash. Wonwoo groaned because of it. Believed that he just hurt his ribs. The man seemed not to care and got Wonwoo’s leg to hug him. Wonwoo automatically hugged his legs to the man. He let the man carry him to the room–he wasn't really aware–near there. Closed the door behind him and carried a koala Wonwoo to the bed and laid him down. Still kissing. Hand already inside his shirt and play with his nipple. Wonwoo shuddered. He squeezed the man’s shoulder. The man pulled himself from the kiss, eyes bore to Wonwoo’s eyes. It’s blue. His eyes are blue. His human mind screamed at his omega. He’s Royals. It’s Prince Mingyu. Wonwoo screamed inside his head. But his body didn’t listen. He attached himself more to Mingyu. Mingyu released his strong scent across the room. Wonwoo whined at that. Nice smell.
“Alpha…”
“Can’t wait, pretty?” Mingyu smirked at him. Pleased with Wonwoo’s reaction at his pheromone. Mingyu got close to his neck and whispered. Wonwoo moaned at that. He can feel slick running down his thighs. Anticipating.
“You smell so nice.” Mingyu said as he licked Wonwoo’s earbud. Wonwoo whined and snuggled himself. Mingyu chuckled at him. Starts to licked his earbud and neck. Wonwoo tilted his head, giving more access to Mingyu to explore his neck. Mingyu made his masterpiece from the neck to his collarbone. Wonwoo grabbed his hair and moaned every time Mingyu bit him. He didn’t remember when his clothes were gone, but at some point he was already naked with Mingyu eating him out. Wonwoo moaned loudly at the sensation. Hand on Mingyu’s hair. Mingyu licked his pussy while his thumb rubbed on his clit. Wonwoo bucked his hips everytime Mingyu rubbed his clit and it sent him shivering. Wonwoo can feel Mingyu smirking whenever he bucked his hips. It didn't end at that, now his tongue is inside. Wonwoo almost screamed at the feels of Mingyu’s tongue inside him. Exploring his inside, Mingyu’s tongue licked his wall and made Wonwoo see a star.
“Alpha…nngh- need your knot…” Wonwoo whined. “Hold yourself, omega! You have to be a good boy if you want my knot. Can you be a good boy and wait?”
Wonwoo nodded his head excitedly. Mingyu licked his pussy the last time before pushing a finger inside. It slides smoothly because of his slick. Wonwoo closed his eyes and opened his mouth. Mingyu chuckled at that and kissed him again. Wonwoo moaned when he could taste himself on Mingyu’s lips. Mingyu explores his inside with his long finger. Sometimes giving an experimental touch inside. Tingle Wonwoo. Mingyu pushed the second finger, scissoring him. Wonwoo trembled. Held on to Mingyu’s shoulder like his life depended on it. Mingyu continued to push his finger in until he fisted him. Mingyu thrusted his finger and attacked his spot several times. Wonwoo mutters a series of ah ah ah before his eyes roll to the back of his head. He just came untouched.
“Did you just come from my fingers?” Mingyu chuckled. Licked Wonwoo’s lips and pulled out his fingers. Wonwoo whined at the sudden emptiness. Mingyu prepares himself in front of Wonwoo’s entrance. Cock sprang free from his pants. Wonwoo drooling at that. Pussy twitching with anticipation. Mingyu slowly pushed his cock’s head inside. Groaned at how Wonwoo swallowed him tightly. He thrust until he’s completely inside Wonwoo. Mingyu stayed still for a while. Let Wonwoo adjust with his size before thrusting hard enough for Wonwoo to scream. It hit exactly at his spot. Mingyu started pounding into him at a steady pace. Wonwoo clutched the sheets and moaned in every thrust. Mingyu came back to his neck and started licking it again. Slowly, Wonwoo can feel Mingyu's cock bigger. He held onto Mingyu's shoulder and scratched it. The feeling of being full slowly became pain. But Wonwoo liked it. He tightened his pussy and made Mingyu groan.
"You like that right? I'm knotting you. Breed your needy pussy."
"Yesyesyes!" Wonwoo blubbering. Nearly the edge. Mingyu kept licking his neck while he was pounding into Wonwoo. Slowly speeding up his thrust. Wonwoo became a moan mess and arched his back when he came. Whole body tense up. Mingyu kept thrusting through his orgasm. Wonwoo started to cry after he went down from his high. The pleasure now became the pain of overstimulation. But Mingyu didn't care and kept pounding into him.
"Stop…akh!" Wonwoo sobbing. But Mingyu didn't stop. He held Wonwoo and thrust for a few times before he came. Wonwoo literally screamed. Mingyu just bit him on his scent gland. Completely marked him. Wonwoo's eyes turned to bright golden color before his vision went black because of the pain.
"Mine…" Mingyu collapsed above Wonwoo after.
🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
"Hyung… I'm sorry." Seokmin hugged him again. Wonwoo just sniffles.
"It's okay. It's not your fault."
"Do you think he knows you?" Seokmin asked. Face full of concern.
"I don't know. I don't think so…" Wonwoo seems unsure. He doesn't know. He's pretty sure the Prince was drunk last night. And Wonwoo didn't say his name to him. But the Prince did know his face.
"Do you want him to know?"
"No. I–" Wonwoo stopped. "I don't know. I didn't want him to know, but he's my mate now. Either I want him or not." Wonwoo looked at his brother. His odd eyes are full of emotions. Fear, sadness, helplessness, and others that Seokmin can't catch.
"It's okay if you don't want him to know. You have me here. Remember? You promise me that you will never leave me? It counts for you to. I won't leave you." Wonwoo almost cried again. But he held himself. Guilt creeps into him. He didn't want Seokmin with him. He wants Seokmin to find his own happiness for himself. Not stay with him. But for now, maybe for now he can be selfish for a moment. He needs his brother.
"Thank you. I love you." Wonwoo hugged him again. Seokmin hugged him tightly. Rubs his brother's back and whispers, "Love you too."
“How’s your heat?” Seokmin asked. Wonwoo gives him a dumb expression before realised.
“I… don’t know… I was sure I went into preheat last night. But,” Wonwoo touched his forehead with his hand. But didn’t feel the warm feeling he had last night. “I am fine now.”
“That’s weird. Usually your heat lasts more than three days. Is there any particular event last night?” Seokmin asked again. Wonwoo just shakes his head. “No, except the fact that I was marked.”
“Is that what caused it? But I have never heard someone break their heat or rut because of mating.” Seokmin said as he started searching online about it. Wonwoo just sighed. Never heard of it either.
“Found nothing.”
“It’s okay. Not that serious.” Seokmin jolted at that. Eyes almost popped at his brother. “You are marked by the Prince. Is that not serious?”
“Okay, it is serious. I will try to find something about it later. Now, can you get me some contacts?” Wonwoo gives his brother his best eye smile to calm him down. And it worked. Seokmin sighed and nodded his head.
"Okay, let me get you contacts. There is rice and doenjang jjigae in the kitchen. I will be back before you know it." Wonwoo nodded at Seokmin. Seokmin stood up and got outside. Wonwoo sighed after his brother left. Hand went to his neck before he knew it. He touched the mark and startled when the mark gave him a spark of pain. Wonwoo sniff. He can smell the slight scent of musk from himself. I need to use a scent blocker after this. He thought.
Wonwoo goes to the kitchen. Eat his breakfast while waiting for Seokmin to come back. His eyes blankly looked at the sink. Mouth chewing slowly. Mind swimming through his thoughts. Wonwoo never expected that he would be mated at age 22. Even with the Prince. The scenario seems impossible to him. But now here he is. Eating his breakfast after his unbelievable incident last night. Ran away, instead of facing the Prince.
Wonwoo was still swimming through his thoughts when his phone rang.
A phone call from Jihoon.
Suddenly he became anxious. Hands sweaty and body tremble. But Wonwoo answered the call.
“Hello?” He starts.
“Oh yeah! Wonwoo! Did you get the books last night? I was wasted, fuck. Soonyoung’s friends were crazy. I can’t remember how much I drink.” Jihoon groaned. Wonwoo can imagine his expression right now.
“Oh, actually… I left my bag with the books inside your library.” Wonwoo said carefully. There is a silence for seconds before Jihoon responds to him.
“Why?”
“I thought I went into a preheat and tried to call you for a suppressant. But you didn’t answer my call so I went to the pharmacy. But I forgot my bag.” Wonwoo lies. Trying to make everything reasonable and convincing Jihoon. There is silence again.
“You thought?” Jihoon asked. Wonwoo nodded his head even though Jihoon couldn't see him.
“Yeah, but it's just the flu.”
“Are you sure you just confused the flu with heat? You know you don’t sound so convincing to me right now.” Wonwoo gulped. “Did anything happen last night? Is it related to the Prince?”
“What? No. Of course not. I didn't even see the Prince.” Wonwoo answered quickly. Instead of believing it, Jihoon asked him another attack question.
“You are the golden eyes right?” The sudden question made Wonwoo hold his breath. “No…”
“I found your shoes under the bed where the Prince slept last night.” Wonwoo froze. But after a second he blurts out at Jihoon.
“You know that’s me, then why are you asking?!”
“Just to make sure. On my way. Don’t go anyw–” Wonwoo hangs up the call before Jihoon can finish his sentence. He put his phone harshly on the table and looked at his now cold breakfast. He sighed and brought his breakfast to the sink. Lost his appetite. Wonwoo didn’t know if he had to be happy or scared by the fact that Jihoon knew that it was him. Also, he wasn't sure if Jihoon had already told the Prince yet. But the one that he knew that he screwed up.
