STRAYKIDS - MATES [Part - 10]
Hyunjin's body shivered under the sheets even after being surrounded by his seven warm mates. It was too cold for his hot steaming body which was covered in a thick layer of sweat. The eight mates had gone to sleep in Chan's room last night, all tangled up in each other as Felix felt safer in his head Alpha's room after he had cried for hours, almost passing out from exhaustion. However, unlike Felix, Hyunjin did not feel comfortable at all when he woke up sick the very next morning. He knew why he was like that and he felt relieved that he was going through it.
Hyunjin mentally sighed, feeling thankful for the dark curtains that the Alpha put up in his room to stop the sunlight from coming in. He knew that he was going to be oversensitive for the time being till Felix recovered. A smile formed upon his lips as he heard the little thump again. It was so feeble, considering that it was coming from Felix's body, and yet so fierce at the same time. There it was, his baby, his bliss, his heaven, his everything.
The Luna continued to drown into the ocean of happiness until he felt Minho's grip around his waist tightening. The arms that were heaven to him, for the first time in his life felt like shackles. He felt suffocated with bodies pressing onto him, not to forget the sick feeling lingering all over his body. Hyunjin wanted to cry as soon as he felt his stomach churning, nausea taking over his body. He almost let out a whimper of discomfort. He hated it even though he knew it was coming.
Hyunjin groaned weakly, picking up his tired and heavy body. His feet trembled and his all of his mates' scents at once became overwhelming for him. He was too tired of it and his emotions were all over the place from how whiny he felt. It was just all too much for the Omega. He was sensitive. With a lot of effort, he managed to make his way towards the bathroom in Chan's room, eyes barely open. A wave of dizziness washed over him and he would have fallen already if it were not for the strong arms that held him up.
"Love..." Hyunjin heard Chan's voice replacing the small thumping that absorbed his ears like no other voice could. The younger only let out another whimper, limping against Chan with his weak body. The Alpha was confused. He didn't know what was happening to the Luna. First, the bruises on his wrists and now he was sick. He still has to talk to him about the assembly yesterday. Nothing was making sense to him but for now he was going to focus on Hyunjin's health. He was worried for Hyunjin. The younger looked pale, his lips dry and it seemed like something had sucked all of his energy out of him.
"Let's go to bed." Chan whispered but before he could drag Hyunjin back, the Luna had already pulled away from him. The Alpha's confused eyes followed the Omega's actions as he made a run for the bathroom with his weak body, only to trip on the ground. "Jinnie..." Chan called, running to Hyunjin again. The younger Omega tried his best to stand up too but failed when he felt the familiar bile juice hitting the back of his throat, not to forget his burnt right foot was aching as well when he tried to put pressure on it. He only breathed once before he gagged loudly, body retching forward as the contents from his lunch yesterday came out of his mouth. He could not make it in time.
"Hyunjin..." Chan gasped, running into the bathroom before coming out with a ceramic bowl in his hands that he kept in front of Hyunjin without wasting even a second. "Love...it's okay ..." Chan whispered, his gentle arms holding Hyunjin's weak body up while the other vomited. He did not think once as his free hand moved to hold Hyunjin's long black hair for him, not even caring about the drops of vomit that had gotten upon it barely not even a second ago.
"Hyunjin? Why is he sick again?" Minho's voiced out, coming into the view. The Alpha had woken up not long ago after Hyunjin left his arms. It was natural for him. Not having his Omega's scent near him troubled his sleep, leading him to wake up from his deep slumber. "I don't know...can you bring a wet towel?" Chan replied, one hand rubbing Hyunjin' back to comfort the little Omega as his body retched forward again. Minho nodded his head and quickly made his way into the bathroom.
Chan winced internally when he saw Hyunjin emptily retching forward again and again. There was nothing in his stomach that could come out now. "It's okay, Hyunjin..." Chan whispered again. The younger heaved again, his eyes tearing up as he felt the burning in his lungs and chest.
"Come here...it's okay...I am here..." Chan said, pulling Hyunjin into his chest while the younger just stayed limp in his warm embrace. "Here, hyung." Minho's voice boomed as he came back with a wet towel in his hands. "Jinnie..." Chan whispered, left arm holding the younger up while the other was extended out to get the wet towel from Minho.
"We should take him to his room before everyone wakes up from the noise." Minho said as he bent down to pick up the bowl that had vomit in it, not wanting Hyunjin to be sick again from the bad smell. "Yeah..."Chan nodded before starting to dab the wet towel on Hyunjin's face to get rid of the thick layer of sweat. Hyunjin's body shuddered under the cold touch of the towel and he almost let out a wince as he started to shiver again. His hands gripped Chan's clothes that covered his chest.
It's okay...I am here." Chan whispered, wiping Hyunjin's mouth with the towel, being careful with his delicate lips and eyes.
————————————————————————————————————————————————"
"Speak, Hyunjin." Chan said, his voice a little harsher than he intended to. The Luna was sitting on the bed with his back against the headboard and Minho by his side. Both the Alphas have been trying to get answers from Hyunjin for two hours and it was pushing Chan on his edge. "Hyung...he is weak..." Minho said, looking at the Blood Alpha with a frown. He didn't care if Chan was frustrated or angry, none can talk to Hyunjin like that. "Is he?" Chan asked. It has been hours since the morning incident and The Blood Alpha was close to losing his cool. He knew the Luna was hiding something big from them. They were mates with the strongest bound. He could see right through Hyunjin.
"He is. Can't you see?" Minho replied and indeed Hyunjin looked weak. His cheeks looked sunken, eyes pale and surrounded by dark circles, not to forget his pale skin. "I can see and I wonder why he is weak when he didn't even eat anything that could cause sickness in the past week. Tell us, Hyunjin. What has caused your weakness?" Chan asked in a mocking tone.
Hyunjin looked down, fumbling with his hands. He wanted to tell Felix about the news first before anyone else, still doubting if Felix really had forgiven everyone or not. Also, he was not quite sure how tell his mates about everything. It was not his story to tell. "Hyung...calm down. Hyunjin is not feeling good. Why are you being so angry?" Minho spoke up, pulling the Omega close to himself.
"Do you really want to ask me that? It has been hours of just us sitting here and asking him about what exactly happened but he is still keeping quiet. I can't be here for long. Unlike our Luna, I have tons of work to do!" Chan snapped angrily, roaming back and forth in the room with angry steps. "Hyung!" Minho said, eyes sharp and glaring at the Blood Alpha. "What? Should we just wait till our Luna finally decides to speak? Because we have already been doing that for the past two hours." Chan replied, shaking his head. The Blood Alpha rarely got upset but when he did...Only God can save the humanity. His eyes would go red, veins pop up and he would literally scream and shout at almost everything and anything.
"Hyung, why are you being rude?" Minho sighed before turning to look at the Luna. "Hyunjin, you know that Chan is getting angry only because he cares too much. So, please tell us what is going on." Minho tried to sweet talk the younger into speaking but to his failure, the Luna remained quiet. "Hyunjin, you are really not helping right now. Just tell us!" Minho whined out, getting frustrated as well because of the other's silence after a lot of tries.
Hyunjin kept looking down, not wanting to look at his mates because he knew if he looked at them...he would cave in and tell them everything immediately. He didn't want that. He almost flinched as he heard Chan groaning in frustration. He knew that he was testing the Blood Alpha's limits. Chan only wanted to know what had happened because he cared for his pack mates. He always worries the most after Hyunjin when one of the pack mates are hurt or sad. He was a true leader indeed.
"Jinnie...is it something embarrassing?" Chan asked, lowering his voice tone back to gentle to try and convince Hyunjin with love again. The Luna softly shook his head, eyes still fixed on the ground. "Then why can't you tell us? Is it very personal to you?" The Alpha asked again, wanting answers. Hyunjin only shook his head again in denial. "Does it involve one of the members getting hurt?" Chan sighed when the younger only shook his head once again.
"Hyunjin...you gotta tell us. See, We made a promise about not hiding anything from each other, right?" Chan sweetly said, moving to sit beside Hyunjin on the bed. The younger hesitantly nodded his head in approval. "C'mon...tell us. No one is going to judge you. We are here for you...please tell us." Chan spoke, eyes looking at his Omega with hope.
"Why won't you tell us?" Chan asked, gritting his teeth after Hyunjin refused to reply. The Alpha closed his eyes, trying to keep calm but he has had enough of Hyunjin's silence. He was already on his edge after having both his Omegas unstable and Hyunjin was just pressuring him more. "This is your last chance, Hyunjin. We all know I can read your thoughts but I didn't want to do that until now because it is painful. So, tell me...will you speak or not?" Minho's eyes widened as he heard the Blood Alpha speaking like that to the Luna. He looked angry as if he was going to lose control any moment now.
"Hyung, it's too much...Hyunjin will tell us. Why are you going to that extreme?" Minho said, trying to calm the angry Blood Alpha present in the room. "Do you really want to ask me that? What is so important that he can't tell us?" Chan replied. The Alpha didn't intend to do any harm to his mate. He was just worried for his Omegas and his emotions were always on the edge when it comes to their wellness.
"Jinnie...It is just us. Please tell us what it is. We are just worried...Please, love?" Minho asked in the gentlest way ever, his hand intertwining with Hyunjin's. "Love-" Hyunjin just shook his head, interrupting Minho in between of his words. He completely refused to even utter a single sound in the moment. "Enough." Chan sighed, his eyes changing colour to bright red. "Hyung...no." Minho said, moving to sit in front of Hyunjin to hide the Omega behind his back.
"Minho. Leave." Chan stated, no expression showing on his face, showing that he has reached his highest level of anger. "Hyung, please don't do this. Hyunjin is our mate. How can you think about hurting him?" Minho argued back. The Alpha knew that Chan rarely got angry but when he did, his anger was the most terrifying thing that could be witnessed. "Minho-" "I will not move! Hyung, you have to stop." The Alpha said, face stern and determined. In no way was he going to let Hyunjin get harmed.
Chan sighed again, stepping back in defeat. He knew Minho was right but his Alpha instincts were too strong for him to control and he was not in the right state of mind either. "You leave me with no choice." Chan closed his eyes. "Hyung-No!" Minho yelled but the other refused to listen. "Hyung...please. You will be forcing Hyunjin! This is not right. You know he is scared of it." Minho spoke quickly, his fear growing more with every second.
Chan opened his eyes slowly, fire red irises burning the human side of him. Hyunjin let out a whimper, closing his eyes. He did not want to look at them...those blood red eyes. The eyes which once broke his soul into pieces, millions of them. He neither had the strength nor the courage to look at those scary red circles again. He knew that Chan would do this if he denied to listen but he still felt hesitant in talking what was supposed to be told to Felix first and then the rest. The younger had the right to choose...who was Hyunjin to interrupt?
The Luna trusts the little Omega with all of his being. He understands him in ways no one ever could. He knew that the younger would definitely keep the baby but, in the end, it was his choice. The Omega's body may refuse to keep the baby of his criminals...the one who had disappointed him. The ones who failed to protect him. Even if Felix had forgiven his mates but Hyunjin knew it would take him some time to actually make peace with all the events that have happened. Hyunjin can go feral and destroy the whole world but even that won't help them to remove the black hole that was now a part of Felix. The baby was his decision. His choice. Hyunjin had no part in it.
"Hyung...stop..." Minho said, his arms moving to pull Hyunjin in his chest, in a way to protect him. The younger just whimpered, grabbing onto Minho's clothes. His fists clenched, holding the cotton fibre tightly as if his soul was yearning for it. "Hyung-"
"Minho." The Blood Alpha spoke, his Alpha voice coming into play. It was like the whole environment was shaken up by his deep tone. It held power and authority...so much that even the non-living things around them would bow to show respect to the Blood Alpha. That's how powerful Chan is!
A shiver ran through the Alpha's body. He fought his instincts, not wanting to leave Hyunjin alone with an angry Chan and he knew he would have to if he listens to Chan right now. "Minho." Chan said again and this time Minho's body moved on his own, against his will. He closed his eyes too, not wanting to look into Chan's red orbs that could kill with one simple glare. However, it didn't last long. His eyes opened themselves when the Blood Alpha called him again. Nobody could defy the aura!
"Minho, leave." The Blood Alpha thundered. Minho was taken aback for a moment. He took a sharp breath in, wanting to calm his fast-beating heart. 'Don't!' He said to himself but the Alpha voice of his mate was stronger. His wolf howled in pain, submitting to the Blood Alpha.
"No!" Hyunjin let out a sob when Minho started to pull away from him. He shook his head frantically. No one could defy the Alpha voice of Chan...not even an Alpha as strong as Lee Minho. Minho gritted his teeth in anger. He didn't want to leave Hyunjin at all but his body was not listening to him. Within seconds, he found himself exiting the room.
"Now. Hyunjin. Tell me everything that you are hiding." Chan said, eyes not leaving Hyunjin. "Please..." Hyunjin shivered as his face slowly started to turn up on its own. He didn't want to look...he didn't want to look...he didn't want to look! It will kill him. "Please...I-I d-don-t" Hyunjin stuttered, trying to form a sentence but failing miserably-an answer that Chan didn't ask for. Who was he to speak something that the Blood Alpha does not seek?
"Answer." Chan said and Hyunjin's eyes flew open. Tears streamed down his face as he sobbed loudly. There they were...the red blood two eyes of the devil himself. The eyes that shook him to his core. Chan was one with his wolf now...like that night. Hell...it was pure hell! It was hell that Hyunjin visioned in his mate's eyes. They were not the eyes that held comfort for him...the soft brown orbs that showered him with care and love. They were the eyes of the dead. Lucifer himself would surrender to such wrath if he were to see Chan in such state. Hyunjin was just an Omega. A mere werewolf.
"Speak, Hyunjin." Chan repeated, not even moving an inch to comfort his crying mate. Hyunjin wanted to speak but he couldn't control his sobs that torn out from his throat. He was vulnerable under the red gaze. "Stop crying and speak." Chan said or more likely ordered the Omega in front of him. His tone was a little louder thought. He was in tone with his wolf who was the epitome of anger itself.
"I-i...F-felix...I-I...H-he..." Hyunjin tried to speak, keeping his cried blocked up in his throat. "Speak, Hyunjin!" Chan yelled in agony. "Felix is pregnant!" Hyunjin sobbed again, hands moving to cover his mouth. His eyes went wide while looking at Chan who looked so devasted out of nowhere. It felt like a brick had hit his head...emptying him of his anger. His red eyes were suddenly already back to normal in a snap as it looked like he was in a state of shock. His wrath was gone...the aura was silent...it was all just gone...everything became strangely quiet.
Hyunjin saw an opportunity and quickly shuffled out from the sheets, ignoring his feet which was screaming in pain because of the burn. He wanted to get away...he needed to get away! Those red eyes...he was scared-terrified beyond belief! He moved fast, walking towards the door as fast as he can, knowing for a fact that his leg will give up if he runs. His limbs worked to the best only for him to land on the floor with a thud.
A cry left him. He felt frustrated and scared. He needed to get away but his leg wasn't helping him. He almost screamed when Chan took a step near him. "Don't touch me!" He yelled, looking at Chan's bewildered face. He had not said anything after hearing the words that left Hyunjin's mouth. His face has gone pale and expressionless as if he had nothing else left to say.
Hyunjin cried more, trying his best to stand up again but failing again and again. "Stay away!" Hyunjin screamed as he saw Chan moving towards him again but this time the elder did not stop. The elder leaned down to pick Hyunjin up who resisted his touch, moving his arms here and there as if trying to fight the Alpha. "Let me go!" The younger cried, squirming to get away from Chan but the other was definitely stronger and all his efforts were nothing more than a waste of energy.
Chan picked up Hyunjin, bridal style despite his resistance before quickly turning to put the Omega on the bed. His touch felt rough but not any less gentle. "let me go-" "None of us are going anywhere until you tell me everything." Chan finally spoke something, his voice deep and heavy.
