The Claimed Omega

Minwoo keeps pouting as they make their way to the family restaurant for dinner. This is not where he wants to go for a date on such a rare day when his omega is up to it. These kinds of days deserve a 5-star restaurant, or somewhere with nice ambience, not a cheap place with crying babies and teenagers hanging out.

This is not a date! This is just them hanging out!!!

Sitting down, Wonho passes him the menu where Minwoo flips over quickly, showing his discontent. He can sense the other getting annoyed, and that is exactly what he wants. At least, if he can irritate Wonho enough, the man may consider changing place. Because Wonho hates him acting like a 'kid'.

'The steak here is good.'

'But the ones at the French restaurant is better.' He adds, putting the menu down and staring at his mate. Wonho ignores him and turns the page. Pulling his lips the neglected alpha is about to push the menu aside before feeling shivers. The omega is shooting daggers at him. 'Urgh fine.'

'It tastes the same when you're hungry.'

'Good quality, healthier.' Minwoo answers, finally deciding on his order. In front of him, he sees Wonho making a face, repeating the last words. Noticing his mate's glare, the omega immediately stops and puts down his own menu, pretending he did not just mock the larger, younger alpha. 'We students eat what makes us full.'

Ah, the student card. What follows will be how they can't afford to eat fancy stuff just yet. Minwoo always argues that he can, since his allowance is more than enough to support them both and then some. But Wonho will always counter that with the fact that Minwoo cannot afford them, his parents can.

Well, Seo Wonho. He earned the money by being a good boy. So it is his money.

Not that, the argument ever worked with the older man. Wonho is hard guy to convince. So much for the omegas being submissive to their alphas; Wonho never listens to his requests. Or maybe he is doing it wrong? He wonders if Haneul complies to Sangcheol's silly requests. He did, join their trip to the wilderness for the guy. Will Wonho do it if he ask something hard?

He should try that. Using his alpha voice. Just subtly so the man won't notice.

What should he ask? Owh he can think of a lot of things like trying new positions or-

Wait. Too risky. Wonho will not want to do it with him ever again.

What should he do-

'Minwoo? You're steak's gonna get cold.' Wonho's voice brings him to reality. Looking back at the male in front of him, Minwoo smirks. He has a brilliant idea to test his theory. One which will not hurt anyone whether Wonho accepts, or rejects.

'Wonie, you wanna meet my parents?'

Shit. Wonho's choking! Passing the water towards the man, Minwoo moves to sit beside him and pats his back to ease his cough. Gosh, now he feels bad. After asking the waiter to refill their drinks, he passes it to Wonho and makes sure the latter can breathe. 'What's so shocking?'

Wonho stares at him, his face red from the brief suffocation. Minwoo senses that it is better for him to be on the other side of the table, so he gets up and returns to his seat. Then he looks back at his mate, still expecting answer. 'I met your parents, you don't wanna meet mine?'

'It's not tha-,' the omega stops midway, trying to explain his worry. Minwoo meeting his parents is for a different reason. Him meeting Minwoo's means another. Honestly, although he just accepted the fact that he has a mate, their relationship still feels fresh. He is still figuring out a lot of things with the alpha. He is not ready to meet the Kims and be interrogated. God knows, they may be the proud aristocrats he sees in the dramas who do not like their son to be with a normal omega.

Thinking his way out, Wonho continues, 'how do we explain our situation? How we meet?'

'Owh…' Minwoo drags his words. He didn't think that far. They should make up a story or something. 'We'll tell them I saw you at the lake. I mean, it's the truth.'

'And we bonded in less than a year without telling them?'

'Kids these days do that.'

'I don't think so.'

'Well they do in Europe. Some people get married without telling their parents.'

'And you think they'll think it's okay?' Minwoo lifts both his shoulders. He really doesn't see what the big deal is. Sure, his grandmother will be upset and give him the cold shoulders but they will make up eventually.

Unless, she cuts off his allowance. Then he is screwed. Knowing her, she will definitely do that.

Owh shit.

'And what bout you not having my scent?' Wonho is still trying to convince the alpha not to proceed with the idea, not knowing that Minwoo is now having second thoughts. The younger male looks back at his lover, trying to think of what to say to get them out of this situation. Then he thought of something.

Minwoo leans closer, and whispers, 'We have sex.'

'Yah!' Wonho's eyes widens at the suggestion, his face flushed. It is so fun to watch the alpha has to try hard not laugh. 'That's not a solution, pabo! What bout if you have family events?'

'Sex every day?' Wonho starts to breathe heavily, his face shocked at the brazen suggestion. Minwoo can tell he is speechless, his eyes now the widest he ever seen on that pretty face. Not long after, the ears start to red and Minwoo gives up on holding his laughter.

Lifting his hand for the bill, he can see Wonho anxious in his seat, wanting to get up to pay and run away from here. The waitress hands him the piece of paper and Minwoo quickly grabs it. Then he feels a slight tap on his shoulder. He turns to see the waitress giving him a seductive smile.

Sighing inwardly, he is about to play around with the bill before realizing what the smile meant – she gave him her phone number, written on the bill. Biting his inner lips, distracted by the slight anger, Minwoo didn't realize his mate was quick to grab the piece of paper away from his hand.

'Won-'

'I'll go and pay.' Minwoo curses inwardly, noting the change in atmosphere the moment Wonho saw the obvious handwriting.

Fucking desperate omegas. Always ruining the moment.
