"Yeah yeah but what's his fucking name!?" Wooyoung said almost screaming and grabbed Yunho by the wrist. "Oh, yeah, sorry." "So?" "Choi San."

"Mr. Jung?" Yeosang spoke as he finished putting on his shoes. They were half tied but he stood up to bow to Wooyoung's father anyway.
His efforts were never met by his best friends dad. Mr. Jung just clicked his tongue and turned his head away, as if the mere sight of the person before him disgusted him - which it probably did. He glanced at Yunho who was standing nervously behind him, eyeing Yeosang from across the room.
"Who is this nobody in my son's room? Don't tell me another pathetic one night stand?" He uttered and it made Yunho press his lips into a thin line.
"Sir, this is Mr. Kang Yeosang, the Young Master's friend. We have a database of 8 years on him. He's been the Young Master's friend since they were 12, sir." Yunho spoke with outmost respect in his tone, but didn't seem to be to his boss's liking.
"My son needs no friendship, especially people like him. I can smell his beta stench from all across the room." Mr. Jung added, and it made Yeosang clench his fists. "Tell Wooyoung that from now on, he doesn't need to entertain the idea of friendship. All he needs in this life is allies, and this one right here surely won't be beneficial to him."
Yunho hesitated for a second, giving Yeosang a pained look, but he understood. It was his job after all, to answer to everything the heads of the Jung family ask of him. No matter how hard the task be.
"Yes sir."
After that, Mr. Jung never glanced at Yeosang again. As if he wasn't even in the room. He was deemed a nobody after all. There was nothing left for him to do there as he was visibly a nuisance, so he just left quietly all the while the father looked around for his son.
"Where is that brat" his tone turned even more annoyed than it was before, gritting his teeth. Yunho stepped uncomfortably to his side but he was already gone towards the direction of the bathroom.
Mr. Jung ripped the door open and went in to collect Wooyoung but he recoiled in disgust and stepped outside uncomfortably. He signaled his men to go inside and collect his so called son. Not even seconds passed and the two men dragged Wooyoung out of the shower into large bedroom area. He was dripping with water from head to toe, dirtying the carpet they stood him on. He was naked. Yunho turned away his head in embarrassment and shame. He gritted his teeth trying not to step up against his boss. This was just wrong. Mr. Jung eyed his son who was shivering heavily with a terrified look on his face.
"What is this da- dad?"
"Do not call me that." Mr. Jung stepped closer to lecture him recoiled once again, covering his nose and mouth.
The first time Yunho just thought he didn't want to see his son naked, but there was definitely something wrong. Mr. Jung was an alpha after all, was he maybe affected by Wooyoung's pheromones? Was he emitting them and not even realizing? Yunho clearly wasn't affected, in fact he couldn't even sense it, but thinking back to it, Wooyoung's pheromones might just be all over the place right now. It's his first time after all.
"What- what's going on?" He stuttered, probably because he was cold, but Yunho wasn't sure about that. He heard when it came to Wooyoung and his father he turned into a completely different person.
Yunho thought his boss would at least spare his son and give him a towel to cover up, but he was wrong about that. Mr. Jung felt no shame humiliating Wooyoung in front of all his workers.
"I'll tell you what" he started. "You."
If it was possible to kill someone just by looking at them, then Wooyoung would already be bleeding out based on the way his father's eyes shot daggers into him.
"I raised you, I fed you, I give you a place to live and you grow up to be a pathetic eyesore omega" he uttered, voice dripping with hate and disgust. "You tarnish our family's name."
Wooyoung fell to the floor. His eyes welled with tears and Yunho could feel his heart break into a million and one pieces, but he had to keep his composure. After a long while of silence filled with Woo's sobs, the head of Jung Group spoke again.
"I never would have expected you to turn out like this. To take after that bitch of your mother."
"She's not a bitch!" Wooyoung shouted but was immediately met with a huge slap from his father. The sound echoed trough the room and made Yunho's skin crawl.
"You don't deserve to raise your voice at me. The saying is true - the apple doesn't fall far from it's tree. You turned out just like that whore of an omega that gave birth to you. And now that you were finally proven useless I will treat you just like that and you will be happy you were of use to the Jung Group by marrying into a family beneficial to us." He stated dryly, not an ounce of mercy in his voice.
Wooyoung's lips parted in disbelief. He fisted his hair while crouching miserably on the ground, a silent scream on his lips. He would rather just die.
With no further chance of negotiation Mr. Jung turned around and left together with his men. Only Yunho stayed. Once the door closed behind them he immediately grabbed a towel and tried putting it on him, but his hands were slapped away by a red and teary eyed Wooyoung.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing? After aiding him at my humiliation?" He hissed.
Yunho gulped.
"Young Master. I was just doing my job."
"And is your job more important than the person who you are supposed to be serving? Helping? Are you just one of those other employees and no different from dumbly nodding mannequins? Just another of my father's toys?"
Yunho kneeled on the floor and bowed down until his head hit the floor.
"Jung Wooyoung. I'm truly sorry. I swore to not only be the head of your bodyguards but to protect you. That includes your body and soul. I failed. I'm sorry."
Wooyoung was speechless, eyes wide. Several minutes passed like that until he decided to stand up and wrap that towel around himself.
"Just stand up already, it's becoming too much" he laughed to shift the mood a little.
Yunho got up slowly but avoided his gaze still.
"Yunho."
"Yes Young Master?"
"Fuck that. Call me Wooyoung."
"Excuse me? That's-"
"Just fucking do it. You saw my dad embarrass me and saw me butt naked I think we're way past all this master servant bullshit and we're the same age anyway."
Yunho nodded and finally smiled. He stood still as Wooyoung got into bed still dripping wet, and snuggled under the covers. It wasn't his business to lecture him about doing that anyways.
"I want to take a leave from school." Wooyoung said shyly, eyeing Yunho with puppy eyes.
"We already arranged it. Nurse Park suggested you stay in a week if not more, and that we should do regular check-ups on your conditions as you might be releasing pheromones without your knowledge. "
Wooyoung frowned. "Nurse Park?"
"Well... your whole team was changed in light of recent changes to your persona. That includes everyone who might come into contact with you, servers, cleaners, bodyguards, even the cooks in the kitchen."
"What?"
"I'm not supposed to tell you this, but it was your father who ordered these arrangements, precisely, that all alphas be removed from your proximity at once."
Wooyoung clenched his fists.
"And what happened to those employees?"
"They were fired, of course. It would have been inconvenient for them to come into contact with your pheromones."
Inconvenient.
Yes. At the end of the day he was just an inconvenience to everyone around him.
Yunho only realized what he had said after that pained expression once again made its way and settled in Woo's eyes. He was fucking up everything he did and said didn't he? Trying hard was just not enough anymore, he had to try harder, he wasn't enough. Yunho felt something bitter claw at his throat from the inside out. This sucked.

Wooyoung spent the week of his school absence cooped up in his room, mostly in his bed. First he played games and watched series but after a point they got so boring he was just throwing himself around on his bed. His boredom turned into spending money recklessly, ordering useless shit on the internet and decorating his room with them, which was a first. Ever since he lived there the room stayed the same but now he just felt a sudden urge to rearrange it and add a little personality to it. Wooyoung swore he just wanted a little change, but from the outside you would assume he was spiraling into insanity. It was all just a ruse anyways. He tried to gaslight himself to stop those unpleasant thoughts that kept haunting him, but to no avail. Every time he spaced out for a bit he remembered that night.
How that person's hands ran down his body, how his lips kissed him, how strong he was and how safe Wooyoung felt in his arms... It was unthinkable. And disgusting. Jung Wooyoung? Fucking a man? Atrocious. A joke. A lie... a lie... he wanted to believe it was a lie but it was real, it was so fucking real. He was reminded of that every single time he looked in the mirror and saw those fading hickeys on his neck, and how he got shivers every time he remembered his touch, the way his hips moved, the way his eyes bore into his soul... fuck.
Wooyoung realized something new about himself. Things were changing around him. He blamed it all on himself. If he never became an omega if he never became anything none of this would have happened, no employees would have been fired, he wouldn't be in an arranged marriage prepared by his father, Yeosang would still answer his call - which he has no idea why he stopped doing, and he wouldn't have slept with a man. He wouldn't feel his body tingle whenever he remembered that night, he wouldn't feel anxious about someone who's name he doesn't even remember. Fuck this. He was fed up.
"Yunho could you please come to my room, I have matters to discuss with you" Wooyoung spoke into the phone that connected his room to the facilities in the house, solely made with the purpose of getting help if he needed it.
He put down the wired telephone, and in just 10 minutes Yunho stood in front of his bed, clad in all tuxedo. Neither of them were aware of the amount of pheromones that lingered in the air, those of which Wooyoung kept unconsciously releasing, just as how Nurse Park predicted it would happen. Yunho just shifted around scratching his nose, maybe that was a visible sign the smell bothered him, but he didn't dare to show it, or he wasn't aware of it surrounding him. The two of them were still a bit uncomfortable around each other after that incident, but Wooyoung tried to play it off as if he didn't even remember, whilst Yunho just remained stoic.
"How may I be of service to you?" Yunho asked, pulling out his tablet to type in any requests. He expected there will be another shopping list of new cravings. His hands already hovered above the screen but then he looked up upon no reply arriving. Wooyoung set with his legs folded, glancing to the side with furrowed brows, his long bangs in his face and biting the tip of his thumb. He seemed... anxious? "Young Ma– Wooyoung?"
"Ah yes, yes..." Woo replied but he still seemed torn by his own thoughts. "My request... I... I want you to find someone for me." He spoke, his tone holding both anxiety, burden and curiosity.
Yunho looked up from the tablet once again, eyes glistening because this is the first time his master gave him an assignment that fit with the things he learnt, things he was trained to do if he wanted to serve the Jung Group and the Jung family, but his brows still furrowed as even though this was exciting for him it was unusual for Wooyoung to ask something of the sort.
"Pardon? Where did this..." he asked back but seeing Wooyoung's cheeks flush a little made him realize. Oh.
"Just do as I say and–"
"Young Master I don't advise you–"
"Don't give me that crap. Just do what I ask" Wooyoung snapped at him, then immediately slapped himself on the mouth. "I'm sorry. Please?"
Yunho grinned after snapping out of his momentary shock.
"That be it. Tell me everything you know."
Wooyoung flashed a 2000 Watt smile, and straightened his back as he eyed Yunho like an excited child.
"His name is... well I don't actually know that" Wooyoung started and both of them felt this was already going to shit. So it is a he Wooyoung spent his first ever heat with – Yunho thought. "He was taller than me. Wide shoulders, muscular. Strong arms and legs. He had black hair, narrow black eyes and thin lips. And he had that gaze you know... like a predator. He wore all black and he smelled so nice."
"That's it? " Yunho asked once Woo finished speaking.
"Mhn"
"You forgot to mention the fact that he very much is an Alpha." Yunho glanced up and saw Wooyoung get red as a tomato on the spot as not so distant memories came to his mind - once again.
"I thought that was evident you smartass!" He shouted and hid under the covers. Yunho laughed. Seconds that felt like minutes passed in quiet until Woo spoke again. "Just... find him. And give me his number, or KakaoTalk or whatever when you do."
"Yes sir."
"Oh and also, find out why Yeosang is not replying to my calls and messages. That asshole..."
Yunho nodded but a knot swelled in his throat. Fuck.
"You are dismissed Yunho."
He watched the man walk out, then flopped back between his pillows - most of them newly purchased items. He stared at his white ceiling and bit his lower lip.
An Alpha Wooyoung repeated in his head.
My first heat. Spent with an Alpha.
It all felt way too surreal.
---
It felt like an eternity until Yunho was back with information about Wooyoung's request.
Several days passed until he could find something useful to tell the Young Master, all the while Wooyoung started binge watching a new series, cooped up in his room that felt more like the room of a teenage girl from the early 2010s. Clothes everywhere, a new area of skincare products opened up by the bathroom door. The musk of scented candles, aroma oils, various incense sticks and newly bought perfumes mixing with the smell of sweat and unwashed sheets, and of course pheromones, could make anyone think twice before entering. The place was a mess, to say the least but nowhere near as how much of a mess Wooyoung was. He refused to change out of his pajamas and had insane junk food and sugar cravings. His medical leave was extended as his pheromones were out of control. Yunho even had to go to the university and pay them some money to accept his extended leave.
24/7 cooped up in his bed, beside binging series, he spent most of his time researching topics that never occurred to him before, such as "How do I stop being an Omega?" And "Will I have a period now that I'm an omega?". These initial searches then lead him from topic to topic, making him both terrified and shocked as he found himself in the backrooms of the internet by following one post to another in search of answers to countless of his questions, just to find that there are way more things he had no idea of.
He was just in the middle of watching a skincare routine from a fellow omega streamer when he noticed a notification from Yunho.
"I'll be there in 10. Clean up. I have news." The message was short, but it was of sufficient importance for Wooyoung to throw his expensive phone to god-knows-where and jump out of bed in a second. Which was a bad idea, as he felt faint from the sudden motion and fell.
Standing up, he looked around and realized 10 minutes were fairly not enough. But for starters, he turned on the air conditioning and pulled aside the curtains to make some fresh air and let the sunlight into the room. He started cleaning up the clothes, plates, torn packages of the things he consumed the past days, but it all seemed to be just endless and he got bored after 3 minutes of acting like he cared. So instead, he put everything onto his bed and covered it with his blanket, just in time when the doorbell rang.
"Come in!" He twinkled and sat straight on the edge of the bed, trying to mask how excited he was by folding his legs.
Yunho arrived in the room with a satisfied face, totally oblivious to the chaos that ruled the land of Wooyoung's room.
"So? Spill" Wooyoung said and almost let a giggle slip from his mouth. He was mad embarrassed at how excited he got for no reason. Was it about the stranger? Or about Yeosang? He had no idea which thought of the two made him anxious and which gave him butterflies.
"There's a match on the person you wanted me to look after."
Wooyoung gasped. The butterflies in his stomach were anxious.
"Yea?"
"Spectators saw an agitated, disheveled alpha leave roughly around the time Yeosang called us. They said he emitted crazy strong pheromones, and looked like he just came from a good fucking. I even found fragments of a live video, in which he appeared in the background, looking just as you and the spectators described. Further diving into the topic I discovered--"
"Yeah yeah but what's his fucking name!?" Wooyoung said almost screaming and grabbed Yunho by the wrist.
"Oh, yeah, sorry."
"So?"
"Choi San."
