One day at a Time // Seongjoong

VI - Life Goes On.

After the other night, Seonghwa hadn't really left his room. He kept Summer with him at all times, and felt like he'd completely ruined all his chances of forming relationships with the people here.

He knew in his mind it wasn't his fault for getting overwhelmed, but in his heart he blamed himself for making a scene. The last thing he needed was creating too much unwanted attention within the village, he already had enough as it was being the alleged abandoned Omega that the head Alpha had just abruptly brough back. He didn't know how people reacted when he disappeared, but he had a feeling it wouldn't have gone very well.

It was early morning, Seonghwa was bouncing Summer in his arms while walking around the bedroom after she'd finished feeding. He'd gotten too used to this bedroom now, even with only a few days passing by since he'd first been introduced to it; he could've sworn he knew every nook and cranny, every inch of this room had been inspected by him at least ten times each. The small girl scrunched up her face and wiggled her nose in disgust while defending herself from sleep, not allowing herself to give in as Seonghwa placed little kisses onto her cheeks occasionally.

"Sweet girl, I know you're sleepy, stop fighting me. You've yawned about six times in the past few minutes.." He said with a small chuckle, as her forehead creased a little.

She then started kicking her legs while making little huffs, and he sighed while shaking his head, "Come on princess—"

All of a sudden, he heard knocking at the door from downstairs and he felt his heart sink to his stomach. That sound had forever been burned into his memory, such an innocent sound and yet it was so fear-inducing. A sound that had so many possibilities behind it. Who was there? Did they want to hurt him? Was he in danger?

He was never an anxious person, or rather he tried not to be, he always remained open minded and never let his woes conquer him and leave him stranded in his bedroom in fear, and yet here he was as the person he swore to himself he'd never become. It was almost ironic. Everything he thought he knew, had turned out to be one whole lie. Each moment a new thing reminds him of what he had thought he knew all about, it was so bad that he'd started wondering if he even knew himself anymore. Yunho had lied to him so often, what if he's lying to himself now too?

He wouldn't even be surprised.

His life had been flipped upside down in the past few days and he honestly didn't feel like he was able to keep up. Like the days were moving past faster than his mind was, trailing five steps behind and much before he can process anything, more bad things have happened.

As he got lost in his thoughts for the nth time, the knocking at the door continued to the point he knew he couldn't avoid it much longer. So with a deep breath in, he carried Summer downstairs with him and placed her down in the bassinet that had been placed nearby the big sofa of the house, before finally approaching the door.

Only when he opened it, he saw a friendly face.

"Hey! How are you feeling?" Wooyoung asked as Seonghwa looked around neevously.

"Uh, I'm okay.."

"I was just wondering if it was okay I came and checked on you, after the other night.."

Seonghwa grimaced at the reminder as he let out a puff of air, "Oh yeah, you can come in if you'd like."

"I hope you don't mind me popping over. You don't even know how tiring it has been being the only Omega here, it's nice to finally have someone I can relate to a bit more." Wooyoung huffed from the added weight he had to carry around with him all the time, taking a seat on the sofa as Seonghwa raised a brow.

"You're the only one? I thought Yeosang was an Omega...?"

"Lots of people do, he's actually a Beta. As is Jongho too. The rest of them are Alpha's." He replied with a smile and a small chuckle, only to stop when he heard Summer whine in her basket with her arms flailing around and he lifted his head to take a peek at her and beamed widely at the gorgeous baby infront of him, "Oh, look at her! May I?"
