Chapter 1: Preview
Chapter Text
Hello darlings,
This is something I've been working on for years, so I hope it entertains you. The world building is a little different from other normal omegaverses hence I hope this preview would help and set the world.
Human and Werewolves have been living under a peaceful harmonies for years now. After years of revolutions and blood werewolves were finally seen equal to humans. Marriages between Werewolves and Humans has also been legalized all most every part of the world.
Human anatomy is very similar. The genders are differentiated into 2 major categories.
- Males
- Females
Males and Females have to go through physical intercourse for having babies of their own in the natural way. Now that the science has been developed far more widely, humans who have problems in the natural way can opt for artificial fertilization methods.
Werewolves anatomy on the other hand is very complicated. There is no importance to your primary gender (male/female), Your secondary gender (Alpha/Beta/Omega) describes who you actually are.
- Alphas: They are most likely the leader since their first instinct is to protect everyone they consider as 'pack'. They have ruts every four months once, which lasts from 4 to 7 days in time. Their natural mates is usually omegas but pairs with betas and other alphas has been normalized to a far extent. They normally have heavy and spicy scent
- Betas: They mostly are the brain of the 'pack'. They step in when instincts of the other two sub-genders drive them to insanity. They are normally over looked due to their nerd-like appearance but they play a very important role in the pack. Betas mostly act like a high intellectual human, but they go through a cycle called 'freeze' where their biology forces them to rest for all the hardwork they did. It's mostly like an 2 days hibernation period every twice a year. Mostly a neutral-to-mild scents
- Omegas: They are the nurtures of the pack. Their first instinct is to take care pf the pack, especially the alphas. They go through heats every three months once where their body gets ready for breeding and calls for their alpha/mate/loved one. Omegas, though have the fragile system, these are the most ferocious ones when they get possessive. Sweet and addictive.
Alphas can get anyone pregnant, even human females. Male alphas can get Female alphas pregnant. Betas can get pregnant by alphas and can impregnant an omega but cannot with a human female. An omega can get pregnant by anyone of them- alphas, betas, human males. Male omegas can impregnant Female omegas.
The child between a werewolf and human could either be a werewolf or a human, there is no in between.
A werewolf's scent is addictive to other werewolves but to humans it is mostly a too-much-sprayed perfume. So there would be no much of an influence for Human in the matter of scent. Mating marks between werewolves and alpha x human is common, for others is mostly a bite mark.
Werewolf turning is very painful. Few never survived one. A turning by a feral werewolf is double the hell. There are only a handful of cases were one has survived a feral werewolf turning.
Shifting among werewolf is necessary as they mostly keep their wolf features hidden or restrained. There are multiple parks were a 'pack' or werewolves can visit, shift and vent all their pent up energies. Shifting is advised to do every two weeks once, so their wolf can rest in the back of the mind and the instincts can be under control.
Humans have a very small scent traces, it's easy for werewolves to identify the scent but Humans could never. Due to this heightened sense, most of the werewolf prefer to work at perfume companies, police academies and floral shops.
Though there are multiple laws against the werewolf protection, there are a few groups/ gangs that still discriminate and insult the species, so most of the werewolves, especially omegas, tend to hide their type until they believe its safe enough to reveal themselves.

This is our world for this story. In Straykids, Chan is an alpha, Hyunjin is an omega. Seungmin is not a beta but has a lot of tendencies to be one, since his high school major was about werewolf anatomy and science. Others are all humans.
So until the first Chapter... I'll take me leave. ^ ~ ^
Coming soon...
Chapter 2: Choose me again
Summary:
Hyunjin and Felix meet for the first time...
Felix rejects Hyunjin for the first time, infront of everyone...
Chapter Text
It's been a complete of one and a half year into Hyunjin's trainee life. From being scouted from the grocery store to getting selected into one of the famous enterainment company with zero talent in either dance or music was not something Hyunjin would like to brag about.
Hyunjin himself believed he wouldn't last more than a month. But somehow made it until now. Over the period of time, his interest for modern dance and hip-hop spiked. So he trained and used the opportunity to the fullest to learn his everything about his new hobby. Though he trained pretty much same as the other peers with him... the senior trainees always reduced him to one word he grew nauseous to. Pretty.
"You don't have to work this hard Hyunjin-ah. You're pretty face enough for the company to debut you." In-seol was the first one to suggest it. In-seol himself joined JYPE along with Hyunjin, the only difference was that Hyunjin didn't go through the difficult audition while In-seol had to take hip-hop class for more than three years just to pass the primary selection audition.
At first, Hyunjin took the word, pretty, as a compliment and maintained his body to the fitness of a dancer. But then, the word pretty was all he heard. His efforts in the dance practice was over shadowed by the haunting word 'pretty' to the point he would be wanted to be called ugly than that. But even if Hyunjin tried, he couldn't possibly make himself appear ugly for others.
The reason? He is an werewolf. A werewolf with omega being his subgender.
Hyunjin never hated his subgender. Rather was proud how beautiful he turned out to be, just like his mother. But yet, he hid his identity as a werewolf to most of them. The only ones who knows is subgender would be his parents and a handful of trusted friends. But that's it, he didn't want people to go around and assume he liked to be touched just because he was an omega. Physical touch was his love language and only the people who loves him and he loves back are allowed to be in his personal space.
Omegas are naturally slim fitted and fell on the pretty side of the beauty scale. They look innocent in order to attract an alpha for themselves. They are just, a little more beautiful than the humans due to the presence of lycanthropy in their blood which gives them a divine glow and softness in their skin.
The cosmetic industry has been studying on this for years and have successfully managed to come up with multiple creams and serums to duplicate the similar glow in human skin, for which Hyunjin very grateful for. As for his scent, it's a sweet combination of honey and enticing smell of roses. The classic combination in the perfume industry, Hyunjin deemed he was very lucky for that matter. His need for nest would never get too strong often, when it does, he dashes to his parents house and prepares a cozy nest and sleeps in it before returning back with a bright smile.
Hence hiding his wolf form was not much harder. Until his heats hit. During then, he would find the most stupidest excuse and leave to his parents home. Spend the entire week curled up against his mother and father as he rides his insatiable need alone. And when his omega would feel restless and wants to be left out, Hyunjin would nap in his wolf form. This gladly helped with his wolf beig in his control. All in all, no matter how difficult it is, he is managing it good.
Now one and half year into his traineeship, all Hyunjin hears is how 'pretty' he looks while he just stands or literally breathes. It's getting a little smothering for his omega. So Hyunjin swore, if an opportunity doesn't knock in this year... he would leave and maybe pursue either arts or fashion designing.
Due to the over used word 'pretty' Hyunjin was fast to lose the interest in dance. He practices, enough so the monthly evaluators don't insult him infront of others. But that's it. His passion for dance was getting reduced every day by day. So his hands went back to the brush and paints. He spent his nights doodling random flowers he saw at the florist Ji-eun's store. She was a proud omega herself, happily mated to an alpha. Her ears and tails were always out, making all the pups and children want to pet it. Ji-eun always indulged to the childish wishes. He would stare at the omega and the mate who is devoted to her. He stares and hopes that one day... he would have his own alpha to cherish him the way Ji-eun's mate does. Hopeless romantic. His mother calls him. But he can't help when his dreams are so sweet to stop. So he keeps dreaming, until one day, someone hears his wishes.
Tonight, it was the middle of the November 2016. The winter air was settling in fast. Hyunjin had locked his room door and sat with his canvas and paints open. He started to draw this sunflower out of nowhere. Ironic, how he let the winter in through the windows and sat down to draw a summer flower. After few strokes, Hyunjin was satisfied and left it to dry. He slowly stood up and made his way to the open window where his white curtains were swinging to the rhythm of the night air.
The first breeze of the chilling air brushed back his black hair. Hyunjin looked up at the moon, taking in how strongly it was glowing despite being the only one from it's kind. Though it was surrounded by millions of starts... the moon never had it's own. "Why are you always lonely." Hyunjin whispered lowly to the moon. As if answering back, a gust of wind pinked his cheeks. Hyunjin chuckled. "It's not fair how Jupiter has a pack of moons while you were not even give one of your own. Let's curse the heaven together." Hyunjin laughed at himself at the dumb idea. He looked up to the moon for a few more seconds before asking. "Am I pretty?" He whispered, "Because... I don't want to be." Hyunjin admitted shyly. He sighed and smiled at the moon again. "Alright. I need to sleep. I heard the alpha senior trainee is visiting us tomorrow, so I have to look at my best..." Hyunjin whispered. "Good night moonie." Hyunjin mutters and stepped back before closing his windows. He checked the painting. Dried. So, he put it away in his collection closet.
His omega wanted to nest, just a slight desire, but he couldn't risk it. Even though he had locked the door. He let his omega out and only rearranged the pillows until his omega grumbled in half acceptance at the restriction. Soon, Hyunjin slept in his wolf form, his shiny grey fur providing enough heat without the blankets. His tail tucked between his sharp paws and ears twitching every once a while as Hyunjin's human conscience slept softly in the back of his head.
.
.
.
The practice room was tense. Tenser than monthly evaluation period. Hyunjin stepped in and immediately noticed that everyone were stretching and doing their warm up routine.
Hyunjin was confused. He ad never seen them this focus and... scared? before. So he made his was to In-seol. Hyunjin wouldn't address the other as his friend, but as known stranger... familiar colleague. "In-seol... why is everyone so... tense?" Hyunjin asked, shy and timid infront of the other's sharp gaze. "What do you mean why. Chan sunbae is coming today. Ofcourse we all are tense." Hyunjin blinked confused at him. Sure, Chan is a the infamous legendary trainee... but he still is a trainee, so why is everyone so tense about him.
"And...?" Hyunjin asked back. Genuinely not getting the point of being scared of a 'senior' trainee. "And what? And he is an alpha. Which is a very good reason to be a little tense." In-seol muttered, completely annoyed at Hyunjin's intervention while doing his warm up.
Hyunjin almost rolled his eyes. Another misconception. Alphas. The way humans describe alphas are scarier than the murder cases themselves. But in reality, they are just protective of their pack or loved ones. Unless you aren't a threat to their pack or loved ones... they are the most friendliest and most extroverted beings. Almost like overgrown puppies. He could remember how his dad used to follow his mom whenever he pissed her off, or whenever she wasn't giving him the attention he needs. It was the most rom-com real life thing he used to always see. So the fact that humans are scared of alphas, out of other subgenders, never fails him a good laughter.
"So you are scared he will rip of your head?" Hyunjin asked sarcastically. He pushed his hair back with his hand. In-seol looked irritated a little, but kept his cool and answered. "That's one way... but- wait. Do you even know why he is coming here?" In-seol asked. Hyunjin shook his head. Because he didn't know. All he knew was the alpha trainee, who suffered for seven years was coming to meet them. There were no answers for the question why?
In-seol sighed tiredly. "Sometimes I forget you are a pretty face Hynjin-ah." Hyunjin stilled at the word again, feeling small under the gaze. "What does that have to do with me not knowing why 'the' sunbae-nim is coming here?" Hyunjin answered, a little defensive yet voice soft and low. In-seol sighed hard again, "Forget that. Chan sunbae is coming here because, he was given the task of choosing and creating a team for the survival show. He is handpicking everyone himself." Hyunjin was taken aback by the information. "What! But isn't that what Pd-nim and the other sponsers task to do. Why is he doing this?" Hyunjin questioned again. In-seol was surely getting worked up now. "I don't know. I wasn't in the meeting with excecutives. Now move pretty face not everyone had their way without auditions, some of us needed work our way into here." In-seol said as he brushed pass Hyunjin, he made sure he bumped into Hyunjin's shoulder before going.
Something in Hyunjin broke a little more. But isn't this the opportunity Hyunjin's been waiting for. Isn't this what he was dreaming to do for. Then he has to put the fact 'pretty face' aside and warm up. He started to stretch his legs and do a couple of jumps to loosen his muscles when a shy trainee... Kim Do-hyun appeared in front him. "All the best Hyunjin-ssi." Hyunjin smiled at the boy infront of him. He was a year younger than him, joined eight months ago and still one of the most hard working trainee among them. And especially, he never called Hyunjin 'pretty'. That something always made Hyunjin have a soft spot on the boy. "You too, Do-hyun-ah." Hyunjin greeted back.
Before he could think of anything else, the practice room door opened, the heavy scent of cinnamon and apple cider surrounded Hyunjin. It wasn't until he tracked the smell of the alpha did he realize that the alpha could also smell him. Hyunjin's eyes widen in realization and turned in back to already see a shocked alpha, Chan, in all black staring right back at him. The alpha was attractive, sure, Small face, broad shoulders, perfect scent and adorable curls but Hyunjin wasn't attracted to him. The man was just attractive as a whole. But Hyunjin could only shiver at the frown in Chan's face.
Hyunjin subtly motioned his head, silently begging that the universe would carry the memo to Chan to not blow his cover off. Chan's eyes twisted with curiosity but relented before giving a slight nod, something that is very common in werewolves characteristics, so only Hyunjin could get it. Hyunjin relaxed at how understanding the alpha- Chan is.
The entire room bowed to the legendary trainee. "Hello Chan sunbae-nim." Hyunjin also did a deep bow along with everyone. If his hands sweated with nerves, well no one has to know about that.
"Hello everyone." Chan greeted back, giving a half bow, multiple times, in all direction as he greeted right back. Hyunjin couldn't help but see the strained pain... emotional pain in Chan's voice. His omega was a little sad at the alpha being sad.
Chan went through the clipboard in his hands, flicking the pages up and down. "So... everyone here is human race." Chan muttered, and glanced at the small crowd before stopping and looking at a nervous Hyunjin. Hyunjin stiffened again, trying to get a dumb folded expression in his face just like others. Maybe Chan the desperation or the begging, maybe the desperate begging, but then cleared his throat. "Alright, I hope you all know why I am here?" Chan asked again, pulling a chair from the farthest corner and placing it in the middle of the room before sitting on it.
He does have the scary alpha aura surrounding him. The all black was not helping either. Hyunjin thought.
"Yes!" The room erupted again. Chan nodded and flicked his pen. "So is anyone willing to volunteer or should I call you out like primary grade students." Chan asked. Yup, scary. Hyunjin thought to himself. The hesitance in the room was palpable. Chan spined his pen in his hand. "Your confidence also plays a key role here." Chan said again, Hyunjin was suddenly nervous now. But he felt a wave of calmning cinnamon and apple cider direct towards him.
The alpha is scary, but nor unkind. Hyunjin concluded.
Much to everyone's, especially Hyunjin's surprise, Do-hyun volunteered beside him. "I'm not going to get selected anyways. Let me atleast break the ice." Do-hyun commented. Hyunjin wanted to give him some encouragement, but he didn't know how. Chan looked please at Do-hyun, asking him to present his dancing skill.
Every trainee had one minute to prove themselves. Hyunjin never saw anyone give their full potential until now. This made him realize that all the monthly evaluation was more like a mock test they had to pass, whatever Chan was doing... it was do or die situation. It was go big or go home.
By the end only In-seol and Hyunjin were left. Neither of the two moved. Chan glanced at both before sighing and calling the name that was first caught his line of sight. "Kang In-seol." Chan's voice possessed an authority that made the strongest of a human to shiver in fear. Hyunjin was just an omega.
In-seol, stood with confidence and walked to the center of the room. "Hello hyung, I'm Kang In-seol and please look forward for my performance." In-seol addressed with confidence. Hyunjin swore he saw Chan's jaw tick with annoyance, his scent spiking subtly for anyone to notice, at the mention of hyung.
Yup! Scary alpha aura right there. Hyunjin thought.
Chan set aside the disrespect aside and focused on In-seol's clean moves and expressions. No matter how much annoyed Chan was, he can admit that In-seol was a good dancer and had a good stage presence.
By the end, In-seol didn't even bow to Chan, just turned and left the middle of the room. Hyunjin could see the subtle tightning Chan made on his pen.
"Hwang Hyunjin." Chan called out. Hyunjin raised his hand quickly and stood up. He stood infront of Chan and bowed to him. "Hello sunbae-nim. I'm Hwang Hyunjin and please look forward to my performance." Hyunjin bowed again, he started Rockstar by Post Malone and started dancing. Unlike In-seol, Hyunjin focused on smooth transition and fluidity in his moves. He concentrated on delivering an elegant performance that a powerful punch. He matched his expressions with the lyrics and limbs to the music.
Hyunjin ended the performance with a back flip. Chan hummed a little. Hyunjin bowed again, "Thank you for the oppurtunity." And Hyunjin was hot on his heels, sat beside Do-hyun. "Hyunjin hyung, that was really good. You performed really well." Hyunjin blushed under the different kind of praise aside from his looks. "Thank you Do-hyun-ah." Hyunjin patted the younger's back.
Chan was silent for an entire five minutes. No body dared to speak as Chan analyzed the chart. Chan leaned forward and sucked a breathe through his teeth. "All of you are really good." Chan started, clicking the pen continuously, "But two of you caught my attention." The room tensed more. "But I can select only one." Chan concluded. He looked at the trainees and his gaze stopped at In-seol. "Kang In-seol and..." Chan let his gaze wander until it froze on Hyunjin. Hyunjin gulped as Chan pointed the pen at him. "Hwang Hyunjin. Both of you step forward." In-seol stood with complete confidence, Hyunjin stood up timidly. He could say Do-hyun was really happy for him.
"Both of you are going to perform a duet... I hope you know the choreography for Bang bang bang by Bing bang." Chan asked and both of them nodded. "Alright, get into it." Chan said and switched on the position. Bang bang bang wasn't a difficult choreography, Hyunjin didn't understand why Chan chose such a simple song to get both of them filtered out.
The music started, both of the started to dance. In-seol, wanted the spot, he wanted Chan's attention. He completely forgot that this was a team work and in the desperation to stand out, he started to put more effort than necessary, trying to outshine Hyunjin.
Hyunjin wanted to let the team flow be balanced. So he tried to match In-seol's fast and sharp moves. Chan assessed both of them with sharp eyes. One minute mark was up and Chan stood up, he walked until he stood in front of both of them. "In-seol... you are a really good dancer." Chan started, Hyunjin knew he lost the opportunity. He already started to search for nice colleges to enroll at. "But." Chan paused. "I choose Hyunjin." Gasps echoed through the room. Hyunjin blinked confused at Chan, completely caught off guard and convinced he had hallucinated.
Chan smiled warmly at Hyunjin and patted his shoulder. "Welcome aboard Hyunjin, I hope a good co-orperation from you." Chan said and retreated his hand. Chan turned to leave until In-seol's scoff stopped him. "Why him? Because he has a pretty face?" In-seol mocked, crossing his arms in annoyance. Chan stopped, his scary aura increasing as everyone shuddered. Chan turned slowly towards In-seol, eyes completely dark and flickering red. In-seol shuddered. "That was not a nice thing to say Kang-ssi. There are multiple reasons I rejected you. One, I never gave you the freedom of calling me by hyung. You don't assume respect yourself. Earn it. Two, you don't be bitter about something you don't have... in this case, a 'pretty' face. Three, you don't be a bitch to someone just because they've got what you don't.. in this case, a 'pretty' face. Four, I said a duet performance not battle. You wanted to outshine Hyunjin for my attention. How can I trust that you won't outshine the group for some attention. A group shines together. You are better off as a soloist that to be in a group." Chan came near In-seol and patter his cheek. In-seol flinched harshly. "And remember... The choreography Hyunjin did was pretty because he made it look pretty. Being pretty is hard. It's something way out of your league." Chan warned. He gave one last smile to Hyunjin. "You can meet the others this dawn if you are free." Then turned and left.
In-seol was burning in place. The tension in the room spiked when In-seol dashed out of the room. A few trainees going after him. Do-hyun hugged Hyunjin. "Hyung I knew you could do it." Do-hyun said and Hyunjin hugged him back and patted his head. "Thank you in believing me Do-hyun-ah."
.

.
Three weeks. It's been three weeks since Hyunjin officially joined the line up. In those three weeks he noticed a lot of things. He was infact the last, or atleast the second last since Chan was fussing about missing something that didn't even exist. But Chan was alpha and if an alpha says something is missing then it is missing. No arguments. They left it up to Chan to search for the missing piece.
And ofcourse Chan confronted him the same night about hiding his wolf. "You don't have to hide Hyunjin-ah. They are very understanding." Chan reassured. But Hyunjin doesn't wanted to be coddled because he was an omega. He wants to be coddled because he was loved. Hyunjin would make sure they know him by heart but now by his secondary gender.
"I know sunbae-nim. But I want to get comfortable before telling them." Hyunjin urged, Cha sighed but relented. He did not like the fact Hyunjin had to suppress his wolf instincts with him... or the other, but that wasn't his story to tell. It was Hyunjin's and he should decide when to tell and whom to tell.
"Ok. Okay, but call me hyung. We'll be on a long road." Chan suggested and Hyunjin nodded. "Hyung." Hyunjin tested the sound and Chan looked happy about it.
"If you want to let your wolf out, you can find me yeah." Chan said, his eyes crinkling with sadness and understanding. Hyunjin was grateful for all the things Chan was giving him.
That's how Chan became Hyunjin first safe space. The first one to run when the week was too much, first one to scent when his omega became restless... but there was nothing romantic in it. Hyunjin and Chan both felt it. It was more of a father-son, friend-friend relationship.
Changbin was the second comfort for Hyunjin. Focusing mainly on dance, Hyunjin didn't give much of a thought to his rapping. He was far behind it. Changbin was the person to step in and teach him from scratch. The rhythm, the tempo, the diction, basically everything. Hyunjin was very thankful for that. Due to that, Hyunjin found himself snuggling his way into Chnagbin's hold. The dark rapper, he called himself that, was happy to indulge in the physical contact of the younger. Never complaining and always going through whatever Hyunjin wanted to.
Then came the maknae... or atleast until now. Yang Jeongin. He was just a child. He was basically Hyunjin's pup now, anyone who disagrees can argue with the wall infront of him. The minute Jeongin looked at Hyunjin like he was the masterpiece the heaven had gifted the earth, Hyunjin adopted him. No legal papers, no formal procedures. Just love and adoration. Jeongin would look at the sparkling, innocent eyes and ask of late night cuddles when he became homesick and Hyunjin could never say no to him. Busan is far away to help with the fact too. In fact, Hyunjin's omega was elated to have a pup he could take care off. His instincts would settle to a great extent when Jeongin held him. Jeongin helped him more than Hyunjin could thank him for.
Seungmin. Hyunjin thought that guy was a beta with how fast he figured things out. "You are an omega." Seungmin blurted out in the coffee shop. Hyunjin choked on his coffee, mid sip and coughed until his eyes watered. Seungmin snickered and leaned back casually with his black coffee in his hand.
"Where did you even get that idea from!?" Hyunjin exclaimed. Trying his best to get an offended expression in his face but Seungmin only sighed at the attempt. "You are so bag at acting Hwang. Like, your expressions are very cartoonic when you try and fake them." Seungmin pointed out. Hyunjin was now genuinely offended. Well, he was wrong since he managed to hide himself pretty well without anyone finding it out. Except for two.
"How did you even... figure it out?" Hyunjin asked, taking a bite from his cake. Seungmin leaned forward. "I studied werewolf anatomy and science in my high school." Hyunjin choked for the second time that day, on his cake. He coughed hard enough to gag but did not throw up. His ears going bright red at the thought of an human studying werewolf anatomy. "Why would you study that?" Hyunjin exclaimed, slapping a hand on his mouth after realizing the loudness of his voice. Seungmin chuckled. "That's a story for another time." Hyunjin nodded and Seungmin sipped his coffee.
Hyunjin judged the coffee taste of Seungmin a little to hard and loud.
After Seungmin came Minho. His relationship with Minho was weird... because... Minho was... weird? Hyunjin has no other word to describe that mad. He would actively degrade Hyunjin at the same time give him praises. He would threaten him at the same time... threaten someone who threatens him. He was just... weird. That much Hyunjin was clear. Minho was like that one puzzle that needs an entire lifetime to understand and solve and Hyunjin has very little patience.
And the last was Han fucking Jisung. That guy was self-centered, arrogant, narrow minded, completely attitude idiot. That guy was a little piece of shit and little came in figuratively when he was a huge piece of shit. There wouldn't be a day without Han picking a fight with Hyunjin and now matter how calm Hyunjin tries to stay calm, it still has a limit and he is already reaching the threshold... fast. Staying with Jisung, in the same room, was the most difficult task assigned in the schedule... and that boy has zero audacity to not apologize after railing the fuck from Hyunjin.
It was hard, the three weeks were a roller coaster and yet he found a warmth and place within them. He wouldn't call them pack but he is getting there. Hyunjin cannot imagine a group without them and weirdly... it feels wrong to NOT have Jisung in the team. So maybe, they just need time and a little chat with coffee.
Right now, they were in the practice room. The music was running on 0.5x speed and Minho was giving the counts. The room door burst open as the familiar smell of cinnamon and apple cider conquered the room. Hyunjin spun his head and his mind shot circuited. Because Chan wasn't alone, there was a honey tanned boy with dark freckles and thick black hair, he was shorted than Chan but somehow had the presence of the entire sun itself. Hyunjin couldn't take his eyes off him.
"Oh my god! Who is this cutie." Jisung was the first one to hug the sunflower boy. Hyunjin's omega bristled inside him, clawing at his mind to rip Jisung off Felix. Hyunjin blinked to himself at his normally calm omega going violent inside him. It took every ounce of self control to stop himself from letting his murderous omega out.
"Jisungie, get off him." Chan voiced out. Jisung grumbled but let him go. Yet he still had his hand around Felix's waist. Hyunjin's omega did not like it.
"Guys... this Lee Felix Yongbok. Our last member." Chan introduced. The sunflower boy- Felix whined at Chan, glaring at him with no real venom.
Cute.
Hyunjin blinked at the thought that just passed through his mind.
Felix shrugged his shoulders and bowed to everyone. "Hello everyone, I'm Felix." There were two things Hyunjin noticed. One, the deep freaking voice that made Hyunjin want to bend over and bare his neck and lay him completely under Felix's control. He wants that voice to whisper in his ears as he take him raw and undone- Hyunjin shook his head to get rid of the sudden thoughts. The entire room gasped at the voice though. So it wasn't just Hyunjin. Two, his accent was just down right adorable.
Felix looked at the room and caught Hyunjin staring him. Hyunjin's ears burned at the eye contact but he couldn't remove his eyes from those dark brown eyes that reflected the entire galaxy of stars. Felix game him the warmest, bashful and brightest smile, Hyunjin thought he would combust right then and there, that his ashes would evaporate with no traces of his existence would be left behind.
Lee Felix Yongbok.

Hyunjin scrolled through the group chat, a small smile playing as he viewed all the teasing banter that took over... but Felix did not message again after that once. Hyunjin sighed and sunk deeper into his nest. His body ached as he kept his instincts suppressed. Even though everyone now knew he was omega, even though he let his omega out frequently there was still a quiet ache that is not being soothed. The ache-
Beta but not a beta 🐶
You okay?
[6.04 pm]
Tallest idiot 🦙
Yes.
Hyunjin's heart warmed at the care Seungmin always showed towards him. But was Hyunjin okay? No. Will he tell it to his pack? Again, no. He hopes Felix would've been here, held him like before, cuddled with him like before... just anything for him to lessen the ache.
Hyunjin groaned as he stood up and stretched his limbs. His omega protesting inside him for leaving the comfort of the nest.
It was supposed to be Hyunjin's and Han's shared space but due to the dislike of Han's presence in Hyunjin's nest, Han moved himself to Changbin's room. Hyunjin would always be amazed at how much Han had changed from back then. How he understood Hyunjin's instincts to an end and how he had became one of the frequent person Hyunjin would seek out to calm his emotions that had been all over the place for a long while now. Though he feels sorry for Han whenever he sleeps on the couch because Seungmin was staying over.

The dinner was a mixture of chaos and heartbreak for Hyunjin. He had let out his ears and tails which always made Jeongin lose his cool and scratch at the soft grey fur until Hyunjin nibbles his hand away. Hyunjin was still happy with the affection though. But Felix had sat at the opposite end of Hyunjin, farthest from him and grinning over something Han had been showing him in his phone. He would stare at Felix, hoping he could feel it and look at him. But all Hyunjin would get a tensing of shoulder and eyes fixed at anything but him.
Chan had to nudge Hyunjin everytime he stopped eating or stared to hard at the freckled angel. Hyunjin would take a small bite but chew for a long time. His appetite dying by every passing second Felix pretended Hyunjin didn't exist.
Apart from that, the dinner was complete and made them feel whole. Chan and Minho had put the dishes away. Changbin groaned and whined before getting into the dish washing duty, cursing at the piles of plates and bowls. Han and Felix had settles with controls in their hands and started to play. Soon, the dorm was filled with curses and yells from both of them. Hyunjin smiled at the scene. Minho pinched between his eyes.
Chan clapped twice to gather everyone's attention. "Guys, enough. Focus. We got... like less that a week to move in? Move out. It's better if we decide our roommates right now." Chan paused before grabbing the consoles from the sunshine twines, who whined and Felix cursed very loudly at the interruption. "Gaming later." Chan said in a flat tone. Changbin wiped his hands with the rag and walked towards the living room. Before Hyunjin could pull Felix into his arms and settle in the couch, Felix stiffly but fastly moved to the single chair on the corner and made himself comfortable.
Hyunjin opened his mouth to protest... but Felix wasn't even looking at him. He hadn't in a long while for now. Hyunjin breathed out in a shudder before settling between Chan and Changbin. Chan started to scent him lightly while Chnagbin played with his ears and tail. Hyunjin relaxed but the pain was still there, numbed but persistent.
"So who is going to stay with whom?" Chan started, his eyes studying everyone in the room.
"It's me and Minho hyung. With any other member... I would starve- we would starve together." Han commented. Hyunjin could only snort at the statement. "Starve in what way Han?" Hyunjin joked back, Minho gave out a full belly laugh, his ears going red. Felix side eyes him hard... not getting how the joke was so funny for Minho to lose his breath.
"Yeah. Okay." Chan said flatly.
Hyunjin's mind was already moving a hundred miles per hour. Waking up on Felix's chest. Back hugging him while Felix bakes. Nesting with him. Sipping coffee, as they cuddle in the balcony. Kissing on the doorway before leaving for schedules. Felix modeling as Hyunjin painted him. Hyunjin fussing about hugs and comfort. Felix teasing Hyunjin until he whines and pouts. Felix helping him thriugh his he-
"I'll room with Seungmin." Felix's deep voice echoed the room. There was a shrill silence. There was a visible tension rise. Hyunjin blinked from his blissful dream. His heart breaking at the unguarded time. Hyunjin stared at Felix in disbelief. Felix in question was staring at a equally shell shocked, eye out of the socket, Seungmin. "If he wants to..." Felix added timidly. Hyunjin almost laughed. Like he would trade his life if it meant he could stay with Felix... but Felix looks like he would take his own life than stay in the same room as Hyunjin, alone, for more than seconds.
Hyunjin's eyes watered, but he swallowed his cries. He curled deeper in Chan, who scented him again, the cinnamon and apple cider trying to balance out the rose and honey.
"I- uh... sure?" Seungmin answered, not so sure as his eyes strayed from Hyunjin to Felix and back to Hyunjin. "But Felix-" Seungmin didn't even get to complete his statement before Felix stood up "I'm tired and sleepy... I'll leave to the dorm." Without anyone's approval, with no one having the time to process, Felix left the dorm in a hurry. Like he would be anywhere but here.
Hyunjin's omega did not take the rejection well. It was thrashing and clawing at Hyunjin in hopes for Hyunjin to sprint to Felix, fall on his knees and beg him to stay with him. But was that what Felix want from him. Felix had been active and crystal clear about not able to stand Hyunjin. How could he possible try and lure him. He forced his omega into the back of his mind again.
"Jinnie-" Chan started worriedly but Hyunjin shook his head, he shifted enough to nose at the scent gland on Chan's nape. "Don't. Please." Hyunjin down right begged. He doesn't want anyone to notice his distress... he is sure everyone could see the tears but he wants no one to voice it.
"Changbin-ah?" Chan's voice was muffled to Hyunjin. He felt a large hand thread on his hair. "I will room with our omega Hyung. I'm lucky enough to have all his cuddles to myself."
But Hyunjin doesn't want Changbin.
He wants Felix.
He wants Felix to chose him again...
