Chapter 3
"I still can't believe you here, you have no idea how much I've missed you." Hoseok let out as they sat down at a booth in the restaurant. "Your being dramatic, its been what? Five years?" Seokjin replied clearly trying to annoy the other, like he always did.
It didn't work, it never did as the younger snickered, going along with the sarcasm before flashing a smile.
Hoseok was a walking sunshine, a bubble of happiness, and he spread it wherever he went. It was virtually impossible to annoy him. They were currently in a restaurant across the street for lunch. It was Seokjin third day at work, and so far everything was great, hoseok and him had took to lunch hour to catch up on lost time.
A waitress walked up to them, the boys quickly giving their order. They were starving, especially Seokjin who had missed breakfast. "Would you quit eyeing that waitress, she can clearly see you." Seokjin said as Hoseok not so subtly checked out the waitress who was now behind the counter, she didn't seem to mind though, if anything she eyed the blond back.
"You know I only got eyes for you babe, no need to be jealous." Hoseok teased his eyes back on the Omega.
Seokjin sighed shaking his head, the beta really hadn't changed at all.
"Your still the same old flirt, aren't you?"
Hoseok and him were college friends, roommates, the beta was among the few people who knew he was an omega. Hoseok used to protect him in times of fear and provided for him in times of need and Seokjin greatly cherished and appreciated that, but his mom had gotten ill towards the end of their second year, and he had had to switch college to a nearby one, he had packed and left with only little explanation, knowing the other would offer to his help if he knew, and he didn't have the heart to burden him with that problem.
Hoseok was genuine, he didn't help out of obligation, or any other selfish reasons, he helped out of his heart, protected, cared for the Omega, and it had hurt Seokjin badly to have left the way he did, but he had to, he hadn't wanted to burden him with the emotional baggage, so he had minimised communication with him until he wouldn't pickup anymore, too ashamed to admit he had more problems, and disgusted with himself to have turned his back on such a friend, well until now.
"Here she comes, act cool, she might be my future mate." Seokjin scoffed at that, as always knowing the drill of the wing man. "You've been saying that since we were in co-"
"Shhhhhh" hoseok cut him off, straightening his back on his seat, before flashing a smile to the coming waiter. "Enjoy your meal." she said as she placed the plates on the table, her eyes fixed on Hoseok.
Seokjin rolled his eyes as he spotted the piece of paper under the others plate. She sauntered away after they thanked her, swinging her hips as Hoseok winked a last time before looking at seokjin who had his brows raised.
"That's how you get laid, Jin..." He revealed, clearly knowing, a smirk resting on his face as he waved at the waiter once more. He looked up from his plate of pasta, tilting his head to the side curiously "When's the last time you got laid?" he ventured playfully, not fazed when the omega choked on his food, his face dusting in a deep hue immediately. He offered water after a second, briefly patting the Omega's back to cool him down.
He could almost tell the embarrassment on the Omega's face, and he smiled to himself at the Omega's still present innocence. He still got flustered talking about things like this.
"So when?" he jokingly pressured, gazing into the Omega's eyes who effectively avoided him, clearing his throat and trying to fan himself. Seokjin glanced at the beta, sighing after at the heart smile that was present on the others' face. He knew he wouldn't relent.
"Well..." the omega turned even redder if that was possible. "I... haven't...actually....yet."
"No fucking way. You haven't had any dick yet, ever?" he yelled eyes wide.
"Can you say that a little louder, I don't think that guy at the corner heard you." He let his sarcasm flow as Hoseok looked around, slightly embarrassed for having let his excitement get the best of him. "Sorry, I just really thought you would have by now."
"How do you get by, you surely must have the urge to sometime." The genuine curiosity in his tone made Seokjin flash even further. He could almost picture how he got by whenever the need arose, and that made him squirm in his seat...
Even the one thing Omegas were expected to do Seokjin hadn't done.
He had never had the pleasure to please an actual Alpha like they said.
It wasn't on intention, and he wasn't waiting on anything really, he might have been unconsciously scared though, but that's was about it. Well, if you didn't count the things he had heard, witnessed, and experienced as a male Omega.
"I was seeing this guy, but we, didn't get to actually have, you know what." The guy had actually tried to force himself on him, on their third date, said he couldn't wait any longer, something that still made the hair at the back of his neck raise. If his scent glands weren't concealed, he would be filling that restaurant with distress pheromones already.
"Whoa, I can never relate" Hoseok sighed, "but I like sex, its cool you should try it sometime."
"Of course you do you slut." They both laughed at that, both going back to their foods as they chat away during the hour.
That was what he loved about Hoseok, the guy didn't treat him different because he was an Omega, he was equal to him, they could talk for hours on end about anything and everything without fear of offending the other.
Seokjin phone buzzed and he looked at his screen, humming to himself in realization. "We only got fifteen minutes, finish up ok, I'll pay up."
He got up, not giving the beta a chance to protest like he wanted to. Quietly, they moved back to their building opposite, the reality of their new relationship starting to sink.
"Hey, you know I don't want to pressure you, but you can talk to me, am always here for you." Hoseok muttered later as they walked into the building.
Seokjin stopped and turned to meet the beta. He instantly knew what he meant. They hadn't talked about them or about what actually happened, he knew the younger would never force him to tell but he did need an explanation to say the least. It was only fair.
So he stared at the beta for a moment before letting out a breath and wrapping his hands around the others neck to bring him into a hug. "I know hoseokie, and thank you so much." He uttered tears present in his voice, as he breathed in the familiar calming scent. To think Hoseok would still want to be around for him, to stay and be there for him - made him emotional. "Your welcome sweets." He replied his hands on the others waist and Seokjin smiled at the familiar old nickname.
They stayed that way for a while before someone clearing their voice brought them back to reality.
Both looked up to be met by the intrigued, yet serious face of their CEO.
"Gentlemen, I see you had a wonderful break."
"Sir." They both bowed to the man.
Seokjin had barely seen Namjoon since he started, he was barely in the office, and there were some crucial things he needed to discuss with him, which he hoped he could get the chance today.
"You have another one my reports Jung, I hope its done, and Seokjin, I believe you asked Wendy for a meeting?"
"Already turned it in. It must be in your office." Hoseok offered, leading the three of them to the elevator. Namjoon hummed, turning to the omega on his side to flash him a weary smile.
"I apologize, I was away on some important issues, I hope whatever it was wasn't urgent." Namjoon continued as they rode up, Seokjin nodding in understanding.
He could almost feel the omega radiate heat, a sort of aura, and something he couldn't pinpoint. It internally nagged him than he liked to admit, something about not fully knowing who Seokjin was, at least on a personal level, itched at him than he expected, not to mention he had noticed his wolf was on edge around the other, it clawed at his insides like the animal in him wanted to be let loose.
He had no explanation for it, so he dismissed it.
"How is it going so far, any problems? Observations?" Namjoon inquired.
"None that I can think of as of now, its great, they took good care of me."
It was true, Seokjin didn't seem to have any problems so far, Namjoon had walked by the office kitchenette the other day and he'd seen him laughing away with the others to a joke he made. He couldn't quite catch it, but it was something about cows and lawsuits. He smiled at the memory.
"Am glad then, let's go?" He said as they reached the floor, extending a hand out to motion the other to lead the way, he followed after, Hoseok at tail as they entered the busy office.
"I'll get the files." He kept it short as he branched into his office, the CEO nodding before doing the same.
Namjoon sat in his chair finally in the warmth of his office, the room almost like a second house to him so tried to make it as comfortable as possible. He had numerous errands to run the previous days and he had barely gotten to rest.
He sighed rubbing his temples just as the door pushed open to reveal the older.
"Let's begin?" He spoke as he ushered the other to the seat in front of his desk.
Seokjin was still catching up with the previous records and he had come across things he needed to discuss with the CEO. It was mostly to catch up, to find an exact rooting while familiarizing himself with the past, and future achievements, and they did for a few hours, working and comprehensively discussing on what he needed to know.
Somewhere through the discussion Namjoon had walked around his desk so he was stood beside the seated Omega. He leaned down a bit as he circled a couple of numbers on the sheet of paper they were working on, his lean fingers tightening around the pen, slightly grazing on the paper than he intended.
"That is how we arrived at this figure, and not the one previously intended, it took just one simple mistake." He let out, the omega smiling to himself at the still sour tone. He could tell the omega was still bitter about it.
"You smell that?" He heard the younger beside him, and he turned around to a sniffing Namjoon, getting confused when the alpha furrowed his brows, sniffing the air curiously once more. Namjoon could have sworn he had whiffed on something, an intriguing scent that had had his wolf perking up.
"No I don't, what does it smell like?"
Namjoon moved closer to the Omega and sniffed again. Seokjin stiffened as he caught on.
"Like.... Like apples.... and sugar." He said, wondering out loud before turned to the omega, arching another brow. "Is that you?" He asked and Seokjin gulped, the omega knew, he knew exactly what the alpha had caught onto, and he internally panicked, the animal in him unusually restless. The alpha took in another breath, and Seokjin watched as he stopped, orbs quickly flashing to red then back to black. He let out a low growl eyeing the other.
Seokjin had never felt more like prey like he did now, and he quickly stood, keeping a distance from the growling Alpha, internally cursing himself for having let it happen.
"Your an Omega." It was a statement not a question, and Seokjin knew he couldn't lie about it, not with the other looking at him like that.
"I am, is that a problem?" He couldn't help ask back, cautious. He didn't know what was going on inside the others head and he didn't want to take any risks.
"Your in heat." Another statement, one that caught Seokjin off guard, and his eyes widen, now fully understanding why the alpha had his fists balled, trying to not give into his animal instinct.
"I am but its suppressed, it shouldn't affect you." Now when that was true, Seokjin knew it wasn't impossible for an alpha to smell his heat, they used concealers and pills to suppress heats, but naturally the Omega in him would fight against it, trying to pull to the surface to get an alpha to claim him, so it wasn't a surprise that it would break through artificial barriers.
The alpha had simply caught on a slip, and it wasn't either of their fault.
Namjoon tried to keep his breathing in check while Seokjin tried to not move in case the wind wasn't moving in his favour, but he couldn't stay rooted forever. The further he was the better it was for the both of them.
"Am just gonna get my things, and go is that Ok?" He tried, already inching closer, the only thing between them the chair he had sat on previously. He slowly picked up his files, eyes never leaving the alpha before him, for the sake of his safety. He turned to his heels rushing for door, only stopping for a second to throw a glance at the alpha who had his orbs full on turned, before shutting the door close and running to his office.
He locked himself in, sliding down the door before sat on the floor. His heart was beating loudly in the confines of his chest, his hands trembling at the mere thought of what a few seconds ago could have been. But oddly at the same time he didn't think the alpha would have hurt him. There was just something in him that was sure that as much as he was in danger being before the alpha, he was just safe and secured in his presence. It was confusing, and down right a stupid thought, especially with how the alpha had glared at him.
God, he just wished this wouldn't cause him trouble, he had just started and he didn't want to begin with problems. Fuck, he was so screwed.
