[Book II] On my Own [ENGLISH]

Chapter 17: [Summer 2X18] Scars

TW violence, injury and blood

The beginnings of Minho and Changbin's relationship, and how the youngest had this scar.

______________

He knew it was gonna get out of hand the moment he opened his mouth. However, expecting to receive a punch didn't mysteriously remove the pain it caused. Changbin felt the kitchen worktop go into his kidneys, as he retreated from the blow. An angry grunt escaped him, despite him.

In front of him, Minho looked at him vehemently, already ready to punch him again if he felt the need. This only added fuel to the fire.

"Yah! May I know why you hit me?!"

"You were too close!"

"I wanted a cup, and you're in front of the closet!"

The omega whistled, showing fangs.

"You came from behind in silence, you idiot!"

"Your hearing is fine, you heard me coming. Stop kidding me."

Changbin was about to approach again. The anger pushing him to want to start a real fight and make Minho understands that he wasn't in a fuckingposition of strength in front of him. Just because he was the fucking second in command of the pack, doesn't mean he has to play the unreachable.

They were interrupted by a cough at the entrance to the kitchen, surprising them. They had been so caught up in their arguments, that they hadn't paid attention to their environments. Chan stood beside the table, arms crossed and a disgruntled expression stuck to his face.

The omega let out an annoying grunt before taking his own cup and quickly fleeing into the garden, probably in the direction of the den. Changbin also wanted to leave, wanting at all costs to avoid the lecture that their pack alpha was about to give him. However, he didn't have this chance, since he barely had time to take a step before Chan gently grabbed his arm.

"Binnie...

"I didn't start it!"

The older one sighed at the immediate line of the other alpha.

"I know. I'm not here to accuse anybody...."

"Why am I getting yelled at and not Minho-hyung?"

"I would go to Minho after I had a discussion with you. Look, you've been here almost a month, Bin..."

"Hyung. I did nothing to him. He is the one who continues to act as if I attacked him."

"Well, you certainly made advances."

Changbin pulled a chair to sit down. He felt it would last a while.

"Yes, and what? An alpha makes advances to an omega. It's normal. It's in the order of things."

The alpha pack sighed. To say that he was helpless was an understatement. Changbin came from a pack that worked very differently from theirs and Chan understood that it was difficult for him to adapt to their operation. He was really trying to make sure that he was integrated and that he didn't feel like a lonely wolf in the middle of an already formed pack. Seungmin hadn't had too much trouble adopting him, but Minho was a completely different story.

"Bin. Do you like Minho?"

"Not really. He's pretty, but he has a bad temper."

"Then why are you trying to court him?" Chan asked, trying to reason with the alpha in front of him.

"Because that's the way it is? I have to find an omega."

Chan sighed.

"Bin. You're eighteen. You have plenty of time to find an omega. Just because Minho is the only omega in the pack, doesn't mean you have to woo him."
