As your eyes began to open, taking in the sunlight softly pouring through the curtains of your room, you feel a warmth next to you.
Turning your head, you find Yunho, you lightly stirs. His eyes flutter open and a lazy smile graced his face. “Good morning sweetheart. I hope you slept well.”
“I did actually, thank you.” You smiled back at him.
How lucky were you to have him as your soulmate? To have him be the love of your life? “I’ll be right back, I have to pee.”
“Let me help you up.” Yunho rushes around to your side, assisting you out of bed and across the hall. He attempts to enter the bathroom with you but you stop.
“I think I can handle peeing alone.” You laugh.
“Oh- right. Sorry.” He lets go of you and you step into the bathroom, pulling your pants down.
You try to sit down, but pain radiates through your hips. You bite back a groan, and try again, to no avail.
“Yunho?” You reluctantly shout.
“I’m coming in, okay?” He warns before he peaks his head in. “What happened?”
He closes the door behind him as he fully steps in.
He nods and immediately comes over to ease you down, and as you get seated, he turns around.
“Why’re you being shy? It’s not like you haven’t seen this before.” You laugh a little at his ears turning red.
“The only time I’ve seen you half naked was when you were unconscious, bleeding and beaten half to death, so pardon me for giving you privacy.”
You opened your mouth to apologize, but hesitated a moment as you finished your business. “I’m all done.”
He turned around and gently lifted you up, pulling up your pants for you. “Let’s go find some breakfast, yeah?”
Just like that, the awkward air was gone, and he was guiding you to the kitchen.
There, you found Yeosang and San cooking. “Where’s Wooyoung?” Yunho asks as he helps you get seated at the island.
“He had a meeting this morning, so we’re on cooking duty.” San says as he flips a pancake.
“Hey Y/N, I know we’re not your favorite people right now and you’re probably still mad at us, but San and I have been meaning to talk to you.”
You look up at him, but don’t say a word.
He continues nonetheless. “San and I still need to mark you, but we don’t need to be intimate for it to happen before you rebuttal. Betas don’t really have sexual desires, so one bite is all it’ll take.”
“I literally thought you had a booty call.”
Yeosang sighs, “You mean Ji-ah? She’s just a close friend. I helped her through her heat one time years ago and now the guys call her my booty call.”
You nod, but he continues on still. “All of this goes to say, if you ever wanted or needed us, we’d be there, but don’t ever worry about us in that way. We do need to exchange claiming marks though.”
“Only when you’re ready.” San adds.
“Listen, I’m still terribly angry at you guys, but you’re still my mates. If we need to exchange marks, then so be it.”
“You still need to mark me too.” Yunho says from beside you.
It hits you in that moment that you’d never returned his claiming mark that he gave you.
“We could just do it now and get it over with?” All 3 men pause and exchange looks.
“You’re sure?” Yunho speaks up first. “This can wait.”
“No, I want the bond closed and secured. With it open, I’m susceptible to attacks and unwanted advances because I’m not fully claimed.”
Yeosang steps around the island first, leaning over and exposing his neck to you. “Whenever you’re ready Y/N.”
You take a breath before exposing your fangs and sinking them into his scent gland. He lets out a moan as you fully claim him.
After a moment, you retract and he returns the mark to you. It feels different than the others did, less excitable.
San goes next, you both exchanging marks.
Yunho is last as he exposes his neck to you. You sink your teeth into him and electricity flows through your body. You stay connected maybe a moment too long before you retract. “That was-“
“Amazing?” You finish for him.
“Euphoric.” Yunho corrects.
“Now all I need is Jongho and I can claim Hongjoong and close the bond.”
After breakfast, you and Yunho found yourselves back in your room.
His statement from earlier still rang in your mind, and you stared at him a moment while he was talking. “Okay,” He laughs, “You’ve gotta stop staring at me like that, it’s kinda freaking me out.”
“Sorry.” You blinked yourself out of it. “Are you doing okay?”
“Me? Yeah, I’m doing fine. Why?” You could tell from his tone of voice and his scent he was lying.
“What you walked into wasn’t for the faint of heart Yunho, tell me honestly how you’re doing. Don’t lie to me.”
He sighs, “Okay, I’m not great. Everytime I close my eyes I see you. Bloody and beaten, laying there unconscious. I can’t shake it.” When his eyes meet yours, you can see the image replaying in his mind.
You scoot closer to him and put your hand on his cheek. “But I’m okay because of you and Jongho. If you wouldn’t have answered the phone, who knows what could’ve happened. But you came to my rescue.”
He nods, leaning into your touch. “Can I kiss you? I’ve been going crazy without your touch.”
He gently leans in and connects his lips with yours. The kiss is passionate yet careful, like you were made of glass. His lips are gentle against yours like he doesn’t want to press too far and scare you, but it’s full of love and you can feel it as your mouths work together. It brings you a sense of calming peace as he kisses you, and you never want it to stop. His kiss is addicting and well crafted.
As he breaks apart from you, he leans his forehead against yours and whispers the words you’ve been waiting to hear. “I love you Y/N.”
“I love you too.” The moment made your eyes water. To be loved by someone so unconditionally, unfaltering. Yunho’s love was home for you, and if surrounded you in this moment and seemed to hug you, making your omega hum in response.
How lucky were you to have a love like this? To have someone who loved you through every trial of life, the good and the bad? A tear fell down your face and Yunho noticed as he seperated from
you. “Why’re you crying my love?”
“I’m just so grateful to have found you. I don’t know how I ever lived without you.”
“I feel the same way, our love is something I can’t wait to cherish every single day of my life.” You leaned in to kiss Yunho again, the gentleness a bit less now, and he deepened the kiss this time.
“I love you so much.” You whispered against his lips.
He smiled against yours, “I adore you.”
Yunho gasps and sits up fully. “I see the gears turning, what’s on your mind?”
“Why don’t we bake something together?”
You shake your head and laugh, “I’m a horrible baker.”
“I think there’s brownie mix in the pantry, all we have to do is add oil, water and eggs. That’s easy enough right?” Yunho looked like an excited puppy.
“It’ll be fun I promise.”
In the kitchen, you’re measuring out the oil while Yunho cracks the eggs as you talk about idol life.
“It’s super fun, don’t get me wrong, it’s the dream life. But, sometimes it can get to you with all the expectations they have of us.”
“Expectations?” You pour the oil in the batter, Yunho coming up next to you to add the eggs.
You start stirring as he talks. “Well, we’re expected to be visually perfect, have great stamina, not date, eat politely, always be on. It’s exhausting.”
“That sounds exhausting. Do you ever catch a break?”
“Well, we’re on break right now, but a time will
come when we’re expected to have a comeback with a tour. We’ll be gone for months at a time.”
You look at him, “Well, wouldn’t I just come with you?”
Yunho contemplates for a moment. “I guess you could. You are our mate after all. Just know we’ll hardly be around.”
“I’d rather hardly than not at all.”
Yunho laughs, “Yeah true. I think we’d benefit greatly from having you with us.”
“I think it’d be fun traveling with you guys. Plus, if anything happens, I’m there to help.”
“If something happens?” His eyebrow raises in question.
“Like if someone gets their rut or I go into heat.”
Yunho’s eyes go wide, “I didn’t even think of that. We’d need you around in those situations then.”
You nod and pour the batter into the pan, putting it in the oven.
Just as you do, Mingi walks in. You roll your eyes and turn to the sink to start washing dishes. “Please don’t say you’re still mad at me!”
You don’t even look at him as you talk. “Mingi, you lied to me.”
“I didn’t want to! Please just look at me…” He was now beside you.
When you don’t respond, you sense Yunho take a step closer. “Please love, just look at me, let me apologize properly. I beg of you!”
When you still don’t respond, Mingi drops to his knees, and you turn to look at him. “I’m so so sorry, I never wanted to lie to you but Hongjoong convinced me it was the best thing for you. Please forgive me, be with me again. I need my girl.”
You turn to Yunho and with a look alone he understands what you want.
He guides you back to your room, where you release a breath. “He means well, he missed you the most when you were gone.”
“I thought you missed me most?”
“Besides me obviously. He loves you, he really does.”
You sit down next to Yunho on the bed, “I’m just not ready to forgive anyone yet.”
He bites his bottom lip and nods. “I understand. Take all the time you need. Now, come here.”
He leans against the headboard and signals you to sit between his legs.
His hands come to rest on your shoulders, massaging the stress and knots out.
You lean into him as you let out a groan at how good it feels.
After a few minutes, you feel sleep tug at you and you drift off in his arms.
Yunho awakes to a noise coming from you. He turns over to see you whining while tossing and turning in your sleep.
He sits up and attempts to shake you awake, saying your name over and over. When it doesn’t work, he begins to panic, knowing the distress you’re in right now.
Yunho wraps you up in his arms, pushing out his scent to envelope you in it. “Come back to me.”
After a few moments, you gasp as your eyes shoot open and you push Yunho off of you. “Hey, it’s just me. It’s Yunho.”
Your eyes begin to dart around the room, and your hands come up to touch the stitches in your forehead.
Suddenly, you break out into tears and Yunho freezes as you begin to sob into your hands.
He reaches out, hesitating before stating, “I’m gonna touch you now, okay?”
His hand barely makes contact as you fall into his arms, sobbing into his shoulder, your hands balled up in his shirt.
“Shh, it’s okay, you’re safe.” One hand rubs your back while the other runs through your hair, comforting you.
There’s a small knock at the door and Hongjoong peaks his head in before fully stepping into the room. He closes the door behind him, “I scented her distress, is she okay?”
At the sound of his voice, you poke your head up and reach your arm out towards him. You let out a soft and whiney, “Hongjoong…”
Hongjoong hesitates, looking to Yunho who nods in approval. Hongjoong joins you both on the bed, sitting at your back. His hand comes up to rub your back where Yunho once was.
“Relax, we’ve got you love.” Yunho’s voice soothes you as both men strengthen their scents to lull
They both help you lay down as sleep begins to take you, Yunho facing you and Hongjoong against your back.
Their warmth seeps under your skin as their scents fog your mind with a comfort you’ve come to love.
Just like that, you drift off into a deep sleep surrounded by your mates.
Little did you know, one of them stayed up all night to watch over you.
Halfway through the night you wake up and need some fresh air. As much as you loved being surrounded by your mates, the room suddenly felt constricting.
You weaseled your way out of their arms without waking them up and worked your way to the balcony.
You took in a few deep breaths, looking at the city lights. The last month or so has been crazy, and as you stood here you relished in everything that’s happened.
You found your mates, reunited with Jongho, lost your job, moved in with 8 men, had your first fight with them, had a break in experience and now getting cared for by your soulmate.
As chaotic as it’s been, you wouldn’t trade your current situation for anything. You were so in love with your mates, and they with you.
You looked back as you heard the patio door open and close, seeing Hongjoong. “Hey, everything okay?”
“Mhm.” You focused back on the city lights.
Hongjoong joined you at the railing. “I know you haven’t forgiven anyone yet, but I wanted you to know it’s all my fault. I’m the one who told the guys to lie. I was convinced it was best if you didn’t know, I didn’t want your friendship with Jongho to be affected. Jongho didn’t either, so I just assumed hiding it until you noticed yourself was the smartest move. I realize how wrong I was. While I do believe Jongho should’ve been allowed to tell you in his own time, not telling you at all and lying about it was so wrong. The guys are innocent in all this, they were just listening to their leader. I’m the one you want to be mad at.”
You sucked on your bottom lip, “I’m not so much mad anymore rather than just dissapointed. I wish you guys would’ve told me. I understand Jongho’s hesitation but you’d think he’d know me well enough to know I won’t let anything ruin what we have.” You thought for a moment, sighing. “I just wish you guys would’ve trusted me with it. That’s all. I feel like my trust was betrayed.”
Hongjoong nods, “And I respect that. It was betrayed, and I want you to know I don’t expect you to forgive me. If you hated me your whole life for this, I’d understand.”
You closed your eyes, reopening them to look at him. “Hongjoong, I can’t stay mad at you guys. That’s what makes this so hard. You guys have learned your lesson. You all know how wrong you were. I may not be able to forgive right away, but I can’t stay away from you.”
He smiled softly, “Take all the time you need, but just know we’re always here for you.”
You had somehow fully turned towards each other while talking, and you were closer than you had realized. “Hongjoong?”
Without another word, he leaned down and cupped your face, meeting his lips with yours. It was a deep kiss, one that made you lean into him as his lips worked with yours.
As he backed away, you let out a content sigh. “Why don’t you come back to bed?”
You nodded as he took your hand,
leading you back to the bed.
As you lay down, in his sleep Yunho pulls you back against him, humming contently.
Hongjoong lays down facing you, brushing some hair behind your ear. “I’m right here, try to get some sleep.”
You closed your eyes and nuzzled into your pillow, getting comfortable. “Goodnight Joongie.”
