The Claimed Omega

'Kim Minwoo.'

'Halmeoni.' Minwoo answers, anxious. His grandmother does not sound happy. And indeed, she is showing her anger by sighing loudly, before signaling him to take a sit. Minwoo does as asked and sits down, his eyes lurking around the family library - a place he hadn't been to in ages. His grandmother is moving around, looking for a book so the young alpha starts to tap his legs. Nervous.

'Seo Wonho.' She finally starts, bringing a book with her before sitting down. Minwoo sits up straight, alarmed and ready to defend their relationship. If his grandmother is going to say anything bad about his omega, Minwoo will make sure she regrets it.

Well, hopefully it will not come to that but, he will do anything to tell her that he wants Wonho and nobody else.

'Do you know who he is? Who his family is?' The question begins, and Minwoo answers, honestly baffled by the simplicity of the question. But at the same time, he is aware that he cannot say he met the Seos a few years back, because that would reveal how long they have been together. And so he made up a story where he met them when they visited Wonho at the college once.

But his grandmother does not seem impressed. And now Minwoo is confused. 'His scent. Do you know who he is?'

'Jasmine. Omega…?'

'Yah, Kim Minwoo!' The old lady slams the table, and Minwoo flinches before cursing under his breathe. Gosh, she is still as dramatic. Just tell him that straightforwardly what she wants to, instead of asking those weird questions. Of course he knows who Wonho is, duh. Better than his gradm-

Owh. His scent. 

Minwoo slaps himself in his mind. How could he forget? Wonho told him about it, about what he heard. Although, he doubts it is true though, considering they are supposedly extinct. But that is probably the answer that the old woman is looking for. Grinning, he answers, 'Wonho's a noble omega.'

'That's right.' Minwoo smirks, proud of himself and his omega. Gosh, Wonho really is a one-of-a-kind. He- 

'Ouch!' Minwoo whines as the lady hit him lightly on his shoulder, her face angry. The young alpha puts his own hand on top to stop the incoming attack but she walks over to him instead and continues hitting him a few times, before Minwoo finally begs, still puzzled.

'Kim Minwoo, you found an endangered bloodline and the first thing you did is mark one of them!' Minwoo nods, unhappy about the question. He didn't know Wonho was a noble, but he wants him. Who the hell cares about what his family is? 'Didn't you know they're extinct?'

'They're not! Wonie's family's alive.' Minwoo almost screams as his grandmother brought out her hand up again to hit him. That seems to pique her interest, as she adds, 'Is he an only child?'

'No! he has a brother and two sisters.' He answers softly, paying attention to his grandmother's expression. She seems calm now, 'All mated? Alphas?'

'One. Ahk!' Minwoo again, puts his hands up in a defensive mode, 'Why're you hitting me?'

'Aigoo, this kid.' The old lady sighs, shaking his head in disappointment before moving back to her seat and take a deep breath. Minwoo pouts at the reaction, discontented at her attack. They were light hits, sure, but it hurts nonetheless. 'You're not supposed to mate with noble omegas! Especially since we know that they're back from extinction!'

His pout gets longer, and now he furrows his brows. 'Wonho's mine!'

'Aigoo,' the old lady punches her chest lightly, pretending to have a heartache. Such a drama queen. After a few minutes of sighs and overreactions, she finally opens the book she took and demands her grandchild to read over. 'If you ever cared to read our family book, you'll know their family used to be under the protection of the palace before they went extinct.'

'So…?' Minwoo asks, not seeing how this earns him his scolding. The book said they went extinct during the Joseon era. That was almost 500 years ago. And apparently, the book is wrong, since, Wonho is here.

'They are a national treasure now! That's what! Which means we need to protect them!'

'And…?' He continues, still not making the connection.

'Aigoo, this kid! We need to make sure the bloodline continues!' Minwoo clicks his tongue, not liking her tone. He then reads the passage she is pointing to, not fail to notice how detailed the book is on the noble omegas. There is a phrase that mentions that, noble omegas gives birth to pure alphas when mated with alphas, and pure omegas when mated with betas. 

Ah, so this is why his grandmother is agitated. Too bad, he refuses to give up on Wonho. Done reading the phrase, Minwoo cross his hands and turns to look at his grandmother. 'What're you suggesting? Breed them? Ahk!' 

This old hag! Thank god she is his grandmother and he loves her.

The alpha focuses on the road as they make their way back home. His parents offered the couple to sleep over, but he refuses, worried that his grandmother will try to pair Wonho up with a beta. He managed to escape her rage when he told her he will introduce the Seos to her, but whatever happens then, he doesn't care. As long as she leaves Wonho alone. With him.

'The kids really not leaving you alone, right?' Minwoo asks to fill in the silence, remembering how attached the kids were to Wonho and kept fighting for his attention to the point that their mothers became somewhat irritated. On the other side, Wonho only laughs through his nose thinking how the young alphas are already so innocently attracted to his scents. But at the same time, compared to SeungGi who does not care that Wonho shares his attention with his sister, the Kim kids actually starts to fight and argue. They must be a real handful to deal with. 

'They're cute so they get a pass.' Wonho adds, just because, 'But they are really naughty.'

'What? The fight?' Minwoo asks, as if that is normal. Wonho doesn't know if it is. His does fight with his own siblings but not that aggressively. One of the kids starts pushing that one time and even the youngest ones starts to join in the fight, that was, until the adults intervened. 'We kinda have that in our blood.'

'Love to fight?'

'Territorial. And yeah, a little bit aggressive and protective. I mean, more than other alphas.' Minwoo chuckles, reminded of his cute nephews. He was like that with his two sisters too, and they continued to fight and argue until their teens, until right before they were separated into different countries. It got violent sometimes, but they are used to it. Now, they only argue for fun. 

Noticing the frown on Wonho's face though, he can tell his omega is not impressed by that answer. Before the man can misunderstand his family though, he adds, 'We can control it. We're nobles after all.'

Wonho only chuckles. He knows that, he just thought, noble alpha kids must be hard to handle. No wonder his sisters choose to live near the family house; so they can get the whole family to watch over the offspring. 'They must really like me.'

'You're good with them.' Minwoo smiles, looking at his omega. Aside from Wonho's niece which they only met a few times during new years back then, he never really saw the omega with children. Back then, Wonho did not seem to like babies. He really changed over the years. 

'Besides, if you're anything like your mom, they'll be scared to make you mad.' Minwoo refers to the family's pheromones. When Wonho's really mad, even Minwoo can sense it and decides not to interfere. He can handle those alpha babies. 

The alpha smiles as Wonho hums along the song on the radio, seemingly in a good mood. Today went really well, and he gets to see the family side of his omega.

Minwoo can't wait to start their own family.
