pairing: minor lai guanlin x healer! reader, jinhwi, panwinkgenre: fantasy, mild angst !!summary: You’re a nosy healer apprentice left in charge of the cottage for a night. It’s only natural for you to want to help lost boy Lai Guanlin, but becoming someone’s mate is not what you signed up for.(contains what is likely the most pg-13 version of alpha/beta/omega dynamics you’ll find on the internet, haha. NOTE: this series ends with daniel x reader. )

GRIMALKIN:  one | two | three || untrouble

when you turned eighteen years old, the village healer took you on as her apprentice

after all, you were always hanging around her cottage, attracted by the smell of fresh herbs and enchantments, and you often offered to help her sweep the floor or chop the roots

maybe she felt sorry for you because the alternative would have been looking for someone to marry, as your aunt and uncle could no longer afford to raise you

or it could have been the natural way you took to the more mystical parts of healing, the prayers and spells slipping easily from your mouth

in any case, living in the healer’s cottage isn’t a bad deal, and you’re nosily maternal enough to enjoy taking care of the various townspeople who drop by

when your master is summoned to the castle to heal the liege lord’s son, she leaves you in charge of the cottage, reminding you to be wary of the wolves

you nod respectfully, but it’s not as if the howling during the full moon has ever gotten too near where you live, and no one’s ever spotted a wolf anyway

the townspeople have been keeping healthy since the last bout of measles went around, so you don’t expect anyone to come around, but right as the sun’s about to set, you hear frantic knocking at the door

standing at the doorstep are two scared-looking boys, begging you to come help their little brother out

“please, miss, he’s got the worst fever and we don’t know what to do”

you recognize them as two of the lost boys, a group of orphans who live together in an abandoned cottage near the border of the village

there are always whispers about them, how they’re a strange bunch, more animal than human

it’s the knowledge that no one else is likely to help them that has you putting on your cloak and following them to their home

they’re holding hands, these two beautiful boys, and you envy them for a moment as you trail behind, clutching at the jade pendant on your chest and the basket holding your usual concoctions and herbs

you get to their cottage and a snaggletoothed boy opens the door, his face filled with worry

“jihoon’s trying to keep it at bay, but i don’t think he can do it for any longer.”

he shuts the door behind you and locks it, and that doesn’t alarm you as much as it should because your focus is on the boy lying down on the blanket

his forehead is bright with sweat, and even in the candlelight, his pale skin is unearthly

you check his pulse and are shocked by how hot he is and how fast his heart is beating

another gorgeous boy sits beside you and wraps his hand around yours, and you figure this must be the jihoon they spoke of

“miss,” he says, and when you look into his eyes they seem to glow a beastly gold, “guanlin needs you.”

their ‘little brother’ whimpers, thrashing about on the blanket at jihoon’s touch

“no, hyung,” he murmurs, as if it hurts to speak, “i want you. why can’t i have you like jinyoung-hyung and daehwi-hyung have each other?”

the boy beside you shakes his head sadly, making soothing noises, “it can’t be, guanlin. your alpha blood sings for an omega, not for a beta like me or woojin. Y/N here is your missing piece.”

your eyes go wide and you try to get up, but jihoon’s grip on you is firm

on your left is the snaggletoothed boy—woojin, you think?—from before, his face grim

“if you don’t accept him as your mate, he will die,” he says

“i’m not here to be anyone’s missing piece,” you hiss, trying to shake yourself from jihoon’s iron grasp

“i’m not lying, Y/N,” jihoon says, “when i say you’re one of us. haven’t you wondered why that witch took you into your home, why the forest opens its secret paths and groves to you?”

you shake your head and he growls, and for the first time since you got there, fear and dread fill your heart

he shuts his eyes, beckoning for someone behind you, you turn your head, but no one is there

when you face forward, the two boys from before—jinyoung and daehwi, guanlin had said—were sitting before you, their hands still firmly clasped together

“it’s not a bad thing,” one of them says, his eyes focused on guanlin but darting up at you every so often, and he adds, “there are secrets omegas can only unlock when they’ve met their alpha.”

the other boy reaches out to you, his hand on your wrist gentle, and he says, “jinyoung-hyung is free to do anything he likes, Y/N-sshi. all the magic cares about are the ritual and its players.”

“you can save him,” jihoon says, and the desperation in his voice is what does you in

you nod at him silently, and woojin takes your hand and places it over guanlin’s throat, your index finger at his pulsepoint

woojin begins to mutter quickly, and your hand starts to tingle with warmth

jihoon murmurs words in your ear, and you take up the chant as the heat in your arm becomes unbearable

“i take lai guanlin to be my mate, the alpha to my omega, to let him pass through his flux night safe and whole.”

guanlin begins to stir beneath your fingers, and you chant louder, the room tense as a taut string

he sits up with a gasp, his breath caught in his throat

“say yes, guanlin! please!” jihoon pleads

and guanlin wheezes out, “i accept,” before falling back onto the blanket, unconscious

as woojin lets go of your hand, you breathe out, feeling a strange sort of power fill you

when you feel at his pulse again, it’s slowed down to a normal rate, and though his body is warm, it’s nothing like the furnace it had been only moments before

and when you turn your hand over, your palm is marked with an odd rune, a light silver symbol that mirrors the one on guanlin’s collarbone, right where you’d held him

you bite your lip, a nervous habit, and your canines pierce through, and your bottom lip begins to bleed

when you feel at them, you swear they’re sharper than they’d ever been

idc if you’re a winkdeep shipper or baehwi shipper. but once you post something saying that winkdeep isn’t real, baehwi seems more real than winkdeep ( even if you like winkdeep ), fuck you.

i’m a winkdeep shipper, but i don’t judge the others otp. it’s like… everyone has their own opinions, why do you have to do the comparison between the couples?

i ship winkdeep so hard, but i don’t feel sad seeing baehwi or panwink together. the truth is winkdeep’s the closest ( to me ), their friendship is true. and baehwi look so happy together, why do i have to feel uncomfortable when YMC IS FUCKING PUSHING BAEHWI AND PANWINK BUT NOT WINKDEEP ? ( and for WinkDeep shippers out there who are still wondering why we didn’t win the 1x1 voting: WinkDeep ship is strong, but Panwink PLUS Baehwi ships are much stronger. So instead of pushing WinkDeep, they chose Panwink&Baehwi so the show would have a cooler effect )

and instead of bashing YMC, we were all supposed to feel thankful because we are able to see Wanna One through a reality show, and it’s also good for the boys too (having a reality show). btw the choosing room/roomate part was also arranged, just watch carefully so you can understand what i’m talking about… sungwoon walked straight to the large room and jihoon walked out from baehwiwoon’s room. why the fuck they didn’t show us the part sungwoon entering baehwiwoon’s room when the other 10 boys do have that part ?
