7: Scenting

A slight warning for scenting without permission.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the conversation, the tension between Mingi and San had calmed down and they were almost ready to start choosing the movie.

"Yeosang? Can I go check my phone for a bit?"

"Of course, it's your phone hyung."

"Yeah, but, can you show me where it is..."

"Oh, it's in my room, come."

The two Alphas and the Omega were awkwardly left on the couch. They all stayed silent, not knowing where to look or if speaking was a good idea.

"Uhm, if you don't mind me asking San, do you know what kind of hybrid Hongjoong is?" Mingi asked.

"So, are you interested in him or not?" San counteracted, avoiding his question. Yunho face palming at the edge of the couch, here they go again.

"No I'm not, I just wanted to know what kind of hybrid he is."

"So you are at least interested about him. Why not ask him yourself?"

"Because he just left."

"So you're too shy to ask your crush so you have to wait for him to leave the room to talk about him?"

"No, I just tried to cut the tension, besides, it isn't easy to see what kind of animal he is, unlike you, you're clearly a fox, but he's like a red lynx or something? I've never heard of red lynxes?"

Yunho just let them argue this time, quite amused by their childishness. Maybe they just need to get this out of their system before they can become friends.

"You didn't deny having a crush on him."

"I like someone else already, and besides I think it's you that has a crush on Hongjoong." Mingi counteracted.

"No I don't, and we're both Omegas."

"Yes you do, besides so what you're both Omegas, why are you so tense about it, it's not like it has never happened before?" Mingi spoke, getting a bit frustrated with San's answer.

And of course San knew it was possible, all his three exes had been Omegas.

"You're not against Omegas liking other Omegas?" It was one of San's biggest insecurities even if he didn't have anything against it, he was just trying to protect himself.

"No, I'm not." Mingi answered.

San had nothing to say after that. Maybe he had been mistaken about Mingi, who had shown clear interest in Hongjoong, San's 'not a crush'.

San was slightly afraid of Alpha's, and to him Mingi was intimidating, and that affected his ability to properly judge their behavior.

Soon after, Yeosang and Hongjoong came back to the living room. Hongjoong had managed to open his phone and check his email but he left it to charge fully.

"I didn't get an email yet." Hongjoong told them, growing more anxious about the waiting.

"I'm sure you'll get it soon Hongjoong," San reassured, "Should we choose the movie now and help him focus on something else?" He asked the others.

"Yeah, but before that, Hongjoong hyung, what kind of hybrid are you?" Mingi asked.

"I'm a caracat, a hybrid between a cat and a caracal." Hongjoong explained, smiling.

"Ooh, can you show us?" Mingi asked, excited.

"Yeah." He answered and turned.

"Aww, so cute hyung!" Mingi squealed like a puppy and went to sit on the carpet next to Hongjoong and started petting him gently.
