The Claimed Omega

'So, Minwoo.' The alpha looks at the lady of the house who seems to mild down a lot from when they first met. Wonho was asked to leave them alone to talk but fortunately, he somehow managed to persuade his parents to try and listen to Minwoo. So now, after accomplishing the whole story, and some light self-introduction which was very nerve-wrecking, Minwoo waits for the verdict. He doesn't know what to expect. Nothing happened the way he imagined it to be. He is nervous.

'Yes?'

'Your bond with Wono, you realized it is an accident, right?' Minwoo nods. They had already established that, he wonders why Mrs. Seo brought it up again. 'Wono's still young. He's ambitious.'

'He is…'

'Since neither of you agreed to the bond in the first place, I assume you agree with me that if he ever wants to break the bond, you'll let him.' Minwoo has a hard time processing the request. He asks her to repeat herself just to make sure he heard right. 'I'm telling you to let him go when the time comes.'

'I thought you said you're okay with me as long as I treat him well.' He knows he sounded like a kid whining, but he doesn't want to agree to that. Wonho is his mate, of course he will hold on to him if he can.

'This, and that is different. You seem like a nice young man, but no matter what the reason, you bit my son, and now he'll treasure your opinion more than his own.'

'I'll never force him-'

'You'll never force him to stay. Because if you do, I'll make sure you end up in a cell. Are we clear?' Minwoo swallows hard before nodding his head weakly. He doesn't want to do it. He feels as if he just betrayed Wonho with the simple nod because he promised the man he will never leave him.

Probably noticing his upset and hopeless look and starting to feel a bit sympathetic, Mr. Seo stands up, startling the young alpha before giving him a hug. 'Welcome to the family. Let's get to know each other.'

Minwoo forces himself a smile. Still stiff in the manly hug, Minwoo feels himself being pat in the back before Mr. Seo lets go of him. 'Wono said you like hiking? We're planning to go for a trip nearby.'

'Great.' Though he said so, Minwoo cannot help but wonder how, and why they are planning for a hike during winter. It sounds a bit stupid to him. But there is no way he is going to say no after getting an invitation from Wonho's father. That will be suicide.

'You wanna get Wono and Seunghee back? Dinner's in an hour.' For the second time today, his heart almost dropped. Mrs. Seo is really scary. That question sounded more like a command than a request. And Minwoo doesn't know why a noble like him feels the need to abide. Aren't omegas supposed to be the one who submit to the alphas?

Owh wait, now that he thought about it, his grandmother is the highest rank in his house. She is an omega too. 'I-I'll get going then.'

'By the way, Minwoo?' He stops his step at Mr. Seo's call, 'You'll be sleeping in the living room. I don't want any stupid stuffs going on in my house.' He sighs inwardly. After the rough day, he longs to hold Wonho in his arms tonight. Guess he will have to take what he can before dinnertime. Maybe they can-

Argh. He forgot he has to bring Seunghee together with them.

'Don't worry. We have comfortable mattress.' Mr. Seo adds while laughing, thinking the frown on the alpha was the result of not wanting to sleep on the couch.

Minwoo laughs awkwardly.

#####

'-woo? Are you asleep?' Slowly opening his eyes, Minwoo groans a bit while turning his body. He cannot see clearly due to the dark, but he knows Wonho is sitting on the floor beside him, hugging his knees. 'Did I wake you?'

'No, I was- what are you doing here? It's late, what time is it?' He mumbles as he lifts his head up slightly, trying to find a watch.

'I dunno.' Wonho replies. 'Can't sleep.'

'Nightmares?'

'Uhn.' Minwoo sighs. He wanted to be with Wonho but since the man's father made it clear he doesn't want them to sleep in the same room, he had no choice but to spend the night here, in the living room. They were very hospitable though; as the old beta said, the mattress is very warm. They even rearranged the coffee table so he would be sleeping on the hot carpet instead of the floor. He figured the guests of this house are all treated the same seeing the lack of guestrooms. This is as welcoming as they can get.

'Minwoo, sleep with me.' Wonho puts his hands onto Minwoo's left arm and the latter draws a breath of regret. This is the first time Wonho is being this needy while not in heat, and yet, he cannot do anything about it. He wants to see Wonho's face so bad, he must look so cute right now. Minwoo can imagine a pout and puppy eyes, or maybe just his normal poker face. Minwoo prefers the first one so he will just imagine that.

'You appa'll kill me if he finds me in your room.'

'Minuuu~' the omega whines while shaking him, 'I can't sleep…'

Owh god. He cannot take this. This is too adorable. Why the hell is Wonho acting like this now?? Why didn't he do this back at his apartment where they are free to do whatever they want? God dammit Seo Wonho. Seriously, this guy really drives him crazy! What the fuck?

Shit. He really wants to hold Wonho now. Maybe if he gets up early, nobody will realize he is even in Wonho's room in the first place.

No, if that plan fails, it will be the end of him.

Owh. He just thought of something brilliant. Mr. Seo only told him to sleep in the living room, which he is. He said nothing about Wonho not being allowed here as well. And the man can do whatever he wants since this is his house too so…

'Come here.' Minwoo pushes his blanket open and offers his arm as a pillow which the omega happily accepted. He was about to pull Wonho close before the man starts to shuffle inside the blanket.

'Wonie, leave your pants on!' He hisses, almost having a heart attack with that habit of Wonho. Jesus, this guy will be the death of him! Having Wonho to sleep beside him is risky enough, if his father finds his son without pants tomorrow morning… Minwoo shivers just thinking about it. Locking the omega's hands in place so he will not do anything foolish, Wonho grumbles, 'Tsk. Fine.'

Shifting their position excitedly, Minwoo pushes their body together so Wonho's head would be near his face. Taking in Wonho's scent, enjoying the lovely jasmine, Minwoo places a soft kiss and closes his eyes. Feeling an arm around his waist, Minwoo simpers to himself.

Maybe being here isn't so bad after all.
