9. STRAINING
Minho's POV
I was laying in bed with Soonie laying right beside my head on the pillow, Doongie on my chest and Dori at my feet.
I had been crying for the past 15 minutes, but my cats were at my door as soon as they heard me crying my eyes out.
They were with me when I stumbled through my room just to get to my bedroom, nearly slamming into the door, if it weren't for Soonie nudging me into the right direction and towards my bed.
I felt lifeless as I laid in bed, pain ripping at my insides as I was struggling to breathe.
My eyes stung and I wrapped my hands around Doongie on my chest, stuffing my face into his fur with a sniffle.
"Do you guys want me near you, d-do you hate me too ?"
I lifted my head after I asked the question, being met with my cats staring at me.
Soonie patted me on the face lightly, a disapproving looking on his face.
"I-I guess not then...sorry..."
I whispered softly, trying not to cry as I pulled Doongie closer to me.
My phone rang and I felt more tears fill my eyes, my eyes burned terribly, and I covered my face with my arms as I tried not to scream in pain.
Soonie was pawing at my pants pocket until my phone fell out, I heard the audible smack of his paw on my phone screen as he put the phone on speaker, and the only reason I knew the phone was on speaker was because Chan's voice filled the room soon after the smacking stopped.
"Minho, I need to talk to you, I'm surprised you answered."
A sob ripped from my throat as I responded through stuttering.
"I-It wasn't me..."
Chan's phone responded, filled of confusion.
"What ?"
I sat up carefully with Doongie in my arms.
"I-It wasn't me who answered the phone!"
I responded, my voice strained as another sobbed ripped from my throat after my attempt to answer.
"Then who...?"
His question was filled with even more confusion and I let out a pained laugh as I answered.
"I-It was Soonie!"
Chan let out a laugh of disbelief and he let out a breathy sigh.
"Soonie huh... he's always been quite smart."
I let out a wet giggle, coughing towards the end from my throat hurting.
"I'll give him and the others an extra fish when we head out hunting next time."
That made me smile slightly, though I was still sniffling.
"Minho..."
Chan's tone made me freeze slightly and I hummed out as a response, hurting my throat even more.
"Han wants to see you."
I grew confused as I wiped at my tears.
Why would Han want to see me ?
I thought he couldn't be anywhere near me, what's with the sudden change ?
"What- why- I-I can't...I can't, p-please what's even going on anymore, I don't think I've ever felt so bad before, I-I feel like shit, please... I can't see him right now, n-not right now, please. Let me have some time to think, t-to breathe, please...I-I can't do this right now."
Before Chan could even respond, the call was ended by none other than Doongie.
He was glaring at the phone as he smacked the screen and the only reaction I gave was a hiccup.
I pouted as I wiped at my eyes, looking at my cats that were surrounding me.
I groaned softly as a headache slowly but heavily pounded behind my eyes and the back of my skull.
I moved to the edge of the bed and slipped my feet into my slippers.
I stood up shakily and walked towards my kitchen to grab a cup of water, I then placed the cup of water down at my bathroom sink as I looked for pain relief pills.
I got the pills down with some water and sighed as I looked down at my three cats that were watching me carefully.
I sighed once again as I looked at myself in the mirror.
The skin at the edge of my eyes was red, and my eye bags weren't that bad.
I looked away from the mirror before I regretted looking at myself any longer.
I left the bathroom and put the cup I used in the kitchen sink.
In my gut I felt a sinking feeling, one that had me clutching at my stomach in confused pain.
"What...the...fuck...?"
I gasped out as the pain made my legs grow numb and I fell on my knees.
I pressed my hand against my chest, applying pressure as slight fear filled my chest.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck."
I gasped out, Soonie raced to my side and pressed his paws against my chest, and Doongie and Dori raced to the door, scratching against it urgently.
"Wha- why ? I-I said I didn't want to g...go out today..."
I gasped, my breath catching in my throat.
I used my elbows to get off the floor, pushing my self up with a groan before standing on trembling feet.
I felt the need to get out, out, out. Almost as if something was calling out for me.
Or someone...
"Han...?"
Saying his name out loud made my heart burn, like it was on fire.
It felt searing.
I rushed to the door and down the long hallway, stumbling every now and again, gaining the attention and concern of many of the other pack members.
I smelled honey, and froze, just outside of Chan's door, before falling on my knees.
I coughed out as I reached for the door handle, only to be helped up by Hyunjin as he rushed through the door with Felix.
"Shit, Minho, are you okay ?"
I nodded, standing up with the help of their arms hooked underneath mine.
"Yeah..."
The smell grew stronger from the open doors and I blinked away the fogginess from my eyes.
"My nose...i-it isn't playing tricks on me... is...it ?"
There stood the small omega, the soon-to-be newest of our pack, with tear filled eyes and flushed cheeks, and a shake of his head.
"N-No, i-it's...it's not, I-I promise."
His voice was shaking just as much as mine.
He looked to be in just as much pain as me, his face covered in tear tracks.
We're...
"Mates."
