The Claimed Omega

'I'm okay. I'm fine. Okay.'

'How are you gonna get home?'

'Huh? Owh. Taxi.'

'Which one? You have any money?'

'Money? I have. Here- I have. Wait.' Wonho puts his hand into every pocket frantically, searching for his wallet while the alpha just stares, confused with the situation. In between the vain attempt in searching, the man's stomach starts to growl, reacting to the simmering meat sauce, but he is completely unaware of it. 'I left it inside. I'll go get my money.'

Minwoo brings his palm to his eyes and squeezes his temple. Wonho is obviously not in his right mind. There was no wallet nor handphones nor bags on him when he found Minwoo at the rooftop. Turning off the heat of the stove, he follows the deranged man back to his room. 

'What the fuck happened in here?' He stares back at the messy room, as if someone had broken in. He faces back at Wonho who, without even caring about the mess, walks around while looking at the floor to find his wallet. Walking towards the bed, his eyes widens at the spilled content of his anti-anxiety pills. 'Wonho, did you take these pills?'

'Pills? Yeah, I need my pills too…' he heads towards the bed and attempts to grab the bottle before Minwoo secures it first. The latter grabs the omega's face and looks straight into his eyes - they are dilated. 'What did you do? Owh god… These are strong meds! How much did you take??!'

'I need my pills…'

'Jesus. Wonho. What is wrong with you?!' Minwoo pulls the man out and sits him at the kitchen counter where he can watch out for him. Obviously he is not going to allow the man to go home now. He would be responsible if anything is to happen since he was the one who left the crazy man in the room with his prescriptions. The drugs will wear out by tomorrow so he will have Wonho stay the night.

That being said, he should feed the starving man. 'You hungry?' He asks as he takes a paper towel to wipe off the stain on the man's shirt.

'Yes.' Minwoo smiles at the simple and honest answer. So unlike the normal Wonho he knows who would reply with a nod or a grunt. 

'You like pasta?'

'Yes. I need to eat…'

'Okay Seo.' He jokes to himself, knowing that the other will probably not react to anything. Putting both their portions into plates, he serves one and puts his behind the counter. 'Enjoy.'

Wonho digs right in, although very slowly. And Minwoo enjoys his while staring at the adorable creature in front of him. If he is always this obedient, how perfect would he be. Although Minwoo enjoys the hard-headed side of the man, this cute side is good for a change. The man always has his wall high up and it is hard for Minwoo to have to break it every time to make even a small progress, only to be rejected for one small mistake. This, right here, this is a good motivation for him. 

He sees the fork dropped on the plate and realizes that Wonho has fallen asleep without finishing his food. His head hangs down, and before long, Minwoo can hear light wheezes from the tired omega. The alpha puts his utensil down and carries Wonho to the sofa, wondering if he should help him brush his teeth or not. Tomato sauce is not something one want to leave in one's mouth when one's asleep. Although, how would he brush someone's teeth in the first place?

Sighing, Minwoo returns to the counter and finishes his and Wonho's meal. Things are finally really calm, the alphas outside are gone, and the man who caused all the commotion up until a few minutes ago is finally asleep. Just when he thought he can rest, he remembers the dump that is his bedroom and sighs.

Wonho really made a mess in there. 

He gets up to clean the room, changing the sheets while he is at it. At least, after studying, he will want to go straight to bed so doing it right now is only logical. He takes a pair of pajamas and brings it out to the living room, changing the sleeping man into them and putting the old ones in the washing machine. 

Returning to Wonho with his textbook in hand, he flips open the pages for tomorrow's final examination. What the hell was he thinking, tending to the omega when he is busy with school? 

He looks back at the sleeping figure. Though Wonho always has this stoic expression when he is awake, his sleeping face is different. There is a slight curve at the edge of his lips that makes it look like he is smiling in his sleep. Minwoo would love to see that smile everyday. To see Wonho laugh at him just like he always does with his friends. 

Come to think about it, why did he need those pills in the first place? He doesn't look like someone who has those kinds of problems. Even though Minwoo had stumbled upon a panic Wonho one too many times, he still cannot figure out what triggers it. Wonho begged him not to 'let them get him again', did 'they' do something bad that he gets attacks at random times? 

He clears his throat as he thought of some horrible situations that could have happened. It was only his imagination, but he doesn't like it. Trying to erase those images, he returns to his book, reading through each chapter once to refresh his memories. He already revised the subject long before today, so he doesn't really need to focus that much. It is just that, after the mess he got himself in today, he might have forgotten a lot.

A few more lines and he is done. It is already midnight. Wonho didn't really move nor show any signs of another wave so the future doctor could finish his task smoothly. Standing up, he carries the other to his bed, enjoying the smell of the other as he nuzzles closer to the alpha. Putting him on the bed, he tucks the man in, making sure he is comfortable.

He didn't fail to notice the bruises around his wrists and upper arms, from the forceful pulls of the other alphas out there, and from him attacking the man a few hours ago. Marks after sex always excites him knowing that he is the one who left them, but not this time.

This time it hurts.

Minwoo washes his face and brushes his teeth before returning to the bed. Taking the position behind the other, he pulls the man as close as possible and wraps his hand around that tiny waist. This is relaxing… he will probably have a really good night sleep today.
