Chapter Six


"Kang Yeosang," The elder beta calls out as she pulls out an envelope with his name on it.


Yeosang's eyes widen as he hears his name be called out, it echoing throughout the room. Wooyoung lifts his head up from his shoulder and makes a shooing motion with his hands to tell Yeosang to get up from his seat and go get his envelope.


Yeosang unsteadily stands up, going to the front and he takes the letter, seeing how pretty his name is written on the letter. He notices how his hand shakes as he goes back to his seat, unable to stop staring at the letter. He wonders if the alphas that had his name written down in their letters were this scared about opening it. Who's going to be listed...? How many will be listed?


Wooyoung peeks over at Yeosang when he sees him start to open it, "What type are you? Who's written?" He asks, being nosy as usual.


"Jung Wooyoung," The elder beta calls out in the middle of Wooyoung's meddling.


"I'll wait for you, okay? We can open them together," Yeosang suggests, mostly just not wanting to actually see his results. He wonders what typing Wooyoung would be and thinks about how such a cruel joke it would be if they were the same typing.


Wooyoung goes up and retrieves his envelope quickly, coming back and sitting down, "Come on, it's time!" Wooyoung states happily, already digging into his letter.


Yeosang hums and finally unfolds his letter at the same time as Wooyoung...



Name: Kang Yeosang

Blood type: O-negative

Alpha matches: Ha Dongwoo and Lee Sunghee



Yeosang's eyes widen at the fact that he only has two matches and who they happen to be. Of course, Yeosang thinks. Yeosang's heartbeat is going a mile per minute as he just stares down at his results. He tries to calm himself down and looks over at Wooyoung who, surprisingly, has a similar surprised look on his face. Yeosang leans over and reads what's printed out on his paper...



Name: Jung Wooyoung

Blood type: O-negative

Alpha matches: Ha Dongwoo and Lee Sunghee



What?


They have the exact same results... How do they have the same results?! Yeosang moves his paper beside Wooyoung's so he's able to see it as well.


"That's just our luck, isn't it, Yeosangie?" Wooyoung asks almost in a joking manner, his voice noticeably less excited than before. He should've known it would turn out like this. Deep down he knew life would have to be cruel like this.


"Why do we only have two matches, Woo?"


Wooyoung sighs, "Our blood type must be of the minority among our pack and these two are the only ones our age that share it with us."


Yeosang nods slowly, "But... How will they pick who is whos match?" He asks, feeling nervous about one of them having to go through with being Lee Sunghee's match.


"You don't have to worry, Yeosangie," Wooyoung turns to him with a big smile on his face that Yeosang thinks looks forced, "I'll be Lee Sunghee's match, okay?"


Yeosang's eyes widen as he hears those words come out of his mouth. Wooyoung is going to be Sunghee's match? Do they just get to choose out of who is on the list?


"I'll tell them that he's the one I want. You write down Ha Dongwoo's name, okay, Yeosang? I know that he will pick you, so it's going to be a perfect match. It will definitely go through. I'm not sure which of us Sunghee will write down, but if I choose him and you choose Dongwoo, then they will assign him with me."


Wooyoung seems like he's thought about this situation they've found themselves in and Yeosang is overwhelmed by everything Wooyoung just said to him. This is all too much.


"Wooyoung..." Yeosang starts, but Wooyoung is still mumbling all of his thoughts.


"It's going to be okay, okay, Yeosang?" Wooyoung suddenly takes ahold of Yeosang's hand, gently stroking it in hopes of calming him and himself down.


Yeosang's eyes can't help but well up with tears with how Wooyoung is talking it him, it's like he's giving his life away. There's a hidden sense of hurt behind Wooyoung's words and it breaks Yeosang's heart to hear his best friend speak like this.


"Wooyoung, st-stop..." Yeosang says as he squeezes his hand, "Just--" He stops mid-sentence. He was going to say for him to choose Dongwoo too, but he knows that one of them is inevitably going to end up being assigned to Sunghee. He's realizing that Wooyoung basically is giving his life away. He's giving it to Yeosang.


"Can we go home now...?" Yeosang asks in a small voice and Wooyoung shakes his head.


"We must write down our choice from our list and then we can leave," Wooyoung replies, grabbing a pencil from the table they're sitting at and Yeosang sees how Wooyoung writes down Lee Sunghee onto his piece of paper.


Yeosang nods again, taking Wooyoung's pencil after he's finished writing and he writes down Ha Dongwoo on his paper and folds it back up, putting it back into the envelope.


Wooyoung is already getting up from his seat as Yeosang finishes, gently putting his hand on his shoulder and as Yeosang stands, he trails it down to hold his hand, "We can go home now," He smiles, "You're staying over right?"


Yeosang feels a bit of whiplash at Wooyoung's sudden mood swings. He was so excited about finding out who his matches were, then he was extremely serious and sullen when he did see them, and now he's back to himself...? Is this right? Yeosang just nods along, holding onto Wooyoung's hand tightly as he leaves the building with him.


The cold air hits them as soon as they leave, "Why is it always so damn cold around here?" Wooyoung curses, lightly pulling on Yeosang's hand to bring his body closer to him as they walk back to his house.


"It's almost winter, Woo... Of course it's going to be cold out," Yeosang says in a quiet voice, his mind flooded by everything that just happened and his heart is racing at every thought.


They walk the rest of the way in an understanding silence, entering Wooyoung's home to see his mother Soomin waiting for them.


"Welcome back! How was it? Are you two happy with your matches?" Wooyoung's mother asks happily, having been excited about her baby finding his mate. Yeosang is basically like a son to her as well, so she's always wondered about his mate too.


"It was great, mom," Wooyoung shows her a smile matching her own and gives her a big hug, "We got wonderful matches, didn't we, Yeosangie?" Wooyoung turns his head around to look at his best friend, a knowing look in his eyes.


Yeosang nods, "We did."


"And the next meeting is when the alpha chosen for you from your picks comes and meets you," Soomin says excitedly, "You two will have to bring your mates here afterward! I would love to meet them."


"Of course, mom... Now, Yeosang and I are going to hit the hay. The cold weather has us worn out," Wooyoung yawns dramatically, going back over to Yeosang and resting his head on his shoulder while he holds onto his arm.


"Goodnight, boys. Sleep well," She ends, going back to the kitchen to clean up some dishes before heading to bed.


Wooyoung drags Yeosang back to his room and they both fall back on the bed, looking up at Wooyoung's ceiling.


"N-Next meeting is when we meet our match?" Yeosang asks nervously.


"Mhm..." Wooyoung hums, turning his head to look at him. The moonlight from his window is shining down on Yeosang, illuminating his face, and it's making Wooyoung's chest ache. He can't help but think about how smooth and soft his skin looks, how his beautiful brown eyes shine under the light. He looks absolutely radiant laying there with him.


Yeosang senses Wooyoung looking at him, so he turns his head to meet his deep brown eyes. It hurts him to know how dirty the world truly had done him. Their blood types were a match. Yeosang's eyes go soft as he continues gazing into his long-time crush's eyes. He's not sure if his undeniable attraction to Wooyoung will ever go away, but he knows that cannot be thinking of someone else like he is when he is mated.


That's the worst possible offense.


Yeosang feels the nervousness rising in his chest as he catches his eyes drifting down to Wooyoung's lips. He knows he will never have another chance in his whole life to do the one thing he's always wanted to, but he's too scared. His body is frozen. He tries to move his hand up to caress Wooyoung's face, but it won't move.


Wooyoung smiles genuinely as he studies Yeosang's face, feeling his own cheeks warming up as they lie there in silence. He's never been one for silence, though, so he decides to break it, "Why have you always been so apprehensive about a mate, Yeosangie...?" He asks as he grabs ahold of his hand.

Wooyoung's words and hand touching his seems to break Yeosang out of his frozen state, his eyes widening at the question. Why? Yeosang sighs, "I..." He starts, but closes his mouth again, afraid of admitting his feelings. Why is he so afraid? Why can't he be confident like Wooyoung is...? Wooyoung has always been able to say what he wanted to. Yeosang's eyes flash with sadness, knowing he won't be able to get out the words.


Wooyoung hushes the boy, hoping to calm him as he does what Yeosang had wanted to do to him and caresses his face. Wooyoung gently strokes his soft skin, willing him to look back into his eyes, "Please tell me, Yeosang. I-I have to know," He struggles to get out.


Yeosang's eyes water as his fear overtakes him, a tear streaming down his cheek and stopping where Wooyoung is caressing him. Why can't he do it? Yeosang curses himself internally, trying to push his feelings deep down. He can't take looking at him any longer and has to turn away, completely turning over in the bed, "I'm t-tired..."


When Yeosang turns away from him, Wooyoung retracts his hand back and feels a pang to his heart.


Of course, he was wrong...


Wooyoung rests his hands on his own chest, going back to staring up at the ceiling.


Is this really the end?




End of Chapter Six




-----------------------------


Wbk it's not the end, but it is for Woosang for now ~


Who do you think will be the next couple focused on? 

There's kinda only two more for it to potentially be and I can already feel everyone going to the tags to see the ships tagged, BUT... Still... 


ALSO!!! Would you guys like a separate chapter that includes family relations and such? I know I've made a lot of characters and it can be overwhelming to remember all of them...
