"Hold on a little longer, we're almost at the hospital." Namjoon said eyeing the omega in the passenger's seat, a blanket over him.
"I told you am fine Namjoon, they didn't do anything, just a few scratches."

"Jin"

"Please Namjoon, I just want to go home." Namjoon looked at him apprehensively, but he couldn't say no to the tears in his eyes.
"OK." He agreed half heartedly.
"Actually I can't go home.......my brother would scorch the world looking for those two if he heard about this."

"Then let's go home then." He omega furrowed his brows before realizing Namjoon meant his own house. They stayed silent, Namjoon angry at himself for so many reasons, while Seokjin..... Seokjin didn't know where to place himself in all this. He hated being the victim, he hated the aftermath of this too. He knew he was going to be a burden now to Namjoon, he wondered if the alpha would still want him the same after everything.

The smell of rotten or stale food hang thickly around him, he was angry at a lot of things too, and he felt a familiar clog up his throat, his eyes welled with tears and his body shook with a new feeling of fear. He bit his lips to stop his whimpers, but Namjoon saw it, unsure of how to approach the omega. He didn't want to scare him or neglect him. He wanted to take away his pain. Hold him in his arms and remind him that he was there, but he found that difficult after letting down the omega.

"We are here." Namjoon said, before exiting the vehicle. He went around opening the other door and bringing the omega to his arms. Seokjin held to his blanket tightly. He was cocooned, only his head seen as Namjoon carried him out of the driveway into the house. Seokjin had been to Namjoon's house before, and as much as he wanted to admire the huge space again, he couldn't, his mind was still occupied with a lot, his face still with dried with tears.

Namjoon sat him on the couch, getting on the ground in front of him.
"Do you want to shower first? What do you want to do." Namjoon asked lowly not to trigger anything. That thick fog of annoyance still hanged around the omega, and he tried to keep still despite it choking him.

"I'll shower if that's ok." He whispered.
"OK, I'll just carry you upstairs." He said picking the omega up again and walking upstairs. Namjoon handed him some clothes and Seokjin locked the bathroom hurriedly. He quickly showered, and put on the clothes, not wanting to be with his thoughts any longer. He knew it was inevitable. The only way to overcome this was through it. He had done it before. Hopefully it wouldn't be so hard.

He opened the door a few minutes later, Namjoon's hoody too large on him.
The alpha stood from the bed keeping a small distance between them. He wanted to hold the omega and just cuddle his worries away. Not able to resist, he moved forward hugging Seokjin and planting kisses to his head.
"You want to talk, or sleep? What do you want to do."

"I think we should rest it out tonight. I'll take the couch if its not too much trouble." Seokjin said, moving off the alpha's embrace, his eyes anywhere but the other.
"You can sleep here, or in any other room if you don't want me close, you don't have to sleep on the couch."

"The couch will do."

"Jin."

"Can I have a blanket please." He said ignoring the alpha. Namjoon sighed moving to an inner room before walking out with blankets and pillows. The omega was clearly angry at him and he didn't want to push it. He handed it to him, keeping a distance. Seokjin muttered a small thank you before walking back down stairs to the couch.

He took his phone texting his dad that he was working late and that he would spend the night at hoseok's place. After a couple of more texts he put his phone down sighing. Sleep would definitely not come easy, and if he slept a nightmare would be waiting.

He heard Namjoon come down the stairs and he rubbed his temples fatigued. He didn't want any more pampering. He preferred they act normal like nothing happened even if it did. As fucked as that sounded it helped him move on, remember where he was in life before it all happened, but he was sure Namjoon wouldn't see it that way.

Namjoon checked on his wounds, cleaning and bandaging his cuts, the alpha's anger rising back again as he examined the omega. He should have finished those bastards on the spot.
"That should do for now, you can rest." He said in a low voice.
"Thank you." Seokjin said, carefully stretching himself on the sofa before fluffing his pillows and bringing the blanket over him.
Namjoon thought it was ridiculous how the omega didn't want help. He literally had to force the omega to dress his wounds. He got that he was angry, but he was being unreasonable too. He stood next to the couch for a while looking at the omega who pretended to be sleeping before leaving.

He couldn't sleep in his room knowing the omega may need him, so he sat the dining area working on his laptop just in case the omega needed something. But even him felt tired too and gave in at some point in the night. Head resting on his arms on the table.

The next time he woke up was at dawn. A warm fluffy blanket laid over his him. The irony. He was suppose to be taking care of the omega, but instead ...... He mentally kicked himself before standing up. It was still work day, and as much as he wanted to stay around, the omega didn't want him to.

He heard shuffling as he took the stairs and he turned to see seokjin waking, legs still tangled in the blanket. He walked back to the room keep a safe distance again. "Its still early, you should rest some more."

"Its work day Namjoon." The omega replied, his voice clear like he wasn't even a sleep at all. He stood pushing the cover aside.
"You can't go to work Seokjin, your injured." Namjoon spoke, he couldn't believe this, the omega couldn't even walk, and now he wanted to go to work. God he wasn't ready for a fight this early. He knew seokjin was still angry at him, and the omega had every right to be, but he wasn't going to allow him to do anything else that would bring him more harm.

"Yes I can, I don't need you giving me extra attention just because am an omega. I don't need your sympathy either I can go to work just fine." The omega rather shouted taking Namjoon by surprise, he couldn't understand where all this was coming from.

"Am not telling you to stay home because your an omega, am telling you to stay home because your injured, I would do this to anyone of my employees. Your clearly not in a condition to work, so as your boss am ordering you to stay home." Namjoon didn't want to bring authority into this, but seokjin was being difficult, its almost like he was trying to drive him away or something.

He turned, not wanting to see anymore of those glassy eyes, but the omega cussed throwing a pillow his direction.
"Fucking.... Hell." He screamed throwing another pillow. Namjoon had enough, and his eyes shifted as he stalked to the omega.
"What, your gonna hurt me like those idiots." He screamed to the alpha who growled at him.

Namjoon calmed immediately
"I would never hurt seokjin, you should know that, am angry at me too, I should have protected you yesterday and I didn't, but am here now, and am never letting you go, so don't push me away, because I won't budge." Namjoon said.

The omega plopped back to the couch in tears. He was tired. Mentally and physically, he couldn't sleep most of the night, his thoughts filled with what would happen to him and Namjoon after this. He hoped the other wouldn't reject him, and the only thing he could think of was to be his usual self, go to work and carry out his normal routine. That way he couldn't be so much of a burden.

"Am s-sorry." He panted in tears, and Namjoon kneeled before him wiping away his teary face. "Aren't you tired of this already, aren't tired of me already."

"I wouldn't want you any different. I love you...like this, don't forget that." Namjoon kissed his forehead.

"If am not going to work? Can you please stay with me." He pleaded with the alpha.
"Anything for you....I know you didn't sleep a lot at night, do you want to go upstairs?" He asked to which the omega nodded.

Namjoon carried him to his room, gently placing him on the bed and getting behind him in a cuddly position. They stayed quiet for a while, neither of them not sure of the others thoughts.
"Its not the first time that happened to me." Seokjin said his voice void of a any emotions. Namjoon's hands tightened around his waist, bringing him closer.

"Every now and then people have tried a lot of things, but the first time someone came close to actually taking advantage of me I was in college. My first year. It was the guy who lived next to the dorm room I shared with hoseok. He was our friend, I trusted him, and let him in on my little omega secret. He played me.

One night when hoseok had gone home, and it was just me, he broke into my room. He tied me up and gagged me before proceeding to carry out his sexual fantasies on me.

He f-flogged me countless times on my b-back, and burned me with all these candles and forced out of me to these weird things. forcing. He said I provoked him, flaunting my status and teasing him despite knowing his feelings for me.

He used my body to his liking that night, dragging me like a doll to his every command, lucky hoseok returned that night. The guy didn't actually rape me but he took a part of me with him that night, he stripped me of my dignity and pride. It took me a long time to get those back." He finished turning in Namjoon's arms to face him, he could see the struggle behind the alpha's red orbs to not lash.

He brought a hand up cupping Namjoon's face. "Sometimes I wonder if it would be different if I was marked. If all these would drop if belonged to someone."

He looked Namjoon in the eyes tears streaming on his. "Would you mark me. You say you love me right, make me yours then. M-mark me so I can belonged to you Namjoon" He cried.

Namjoon removed the Omega's hand from his face. He brought him to his chest, the omega nuzzling to him "I would love to Mark you Seokjin, I would love to make you mine. I would love a future with you, but I don't want us to do that because of the world we live in, I don't want us to do that because we are running. I want us to mate because we both want to, I want to mark you because I love you. Nothing less." He rubbed on the omega sides to sooth his crying.

"You can't change every time the world wants you too, you'll never be able to meet everybody's demands. The world needs to change its heart. I love you Seokjin, and I will do anything I my power to protect you."
He kissed the other's head one more time while Seokjin sniffles died. He meant it. He would do anything for the man between his arms right now, he was in love, a feeling still foreign to him, but he had quickly realized that he would give anything for Seokjin.

"Get some rest, I'll be here when you wake up." Namjoon whispered. That was all seokjin needed. He closed his eyes finally falling to a slumber without any interruption.
