"Jongdae," Minseok breathes out in sorrow, hanging his head low and grabbing his chest as he tries his hardest to breathe.

Lu Han brings himself to look away the moment he sees Minseok's irises slightly fade to white (indicating how severe he's getting his condition triggered again) before they then turn back to alpha crimson.

Lu Han sighs shakily, gaze unstable as he grabs the blankets.

He can't tell Minseok this time, too, right?

Lu Han still can't find the right time to tell Minseok what Minseok's parents do to him, everytime they find out he's preparing gifts for Jongdae.

He can't tell Minseok how they hurt him and punish him in private.

But that's alright. That's alright.

Minseok is in much more pain from seeing Jongdae reject him again, right?

He shall not add to that pain anymore.

Lu Han brings his hand to his chin, remembering how his parents always slip a circular metal rounding his bottom lip and teeth and piercing into his jaw just so he can't fight with his fangs when they draw blood from him again.

They make sure he can't resist when they use his blood to force Minseok's gifts to lose Minseok's unique scent that should've made Jongdae known since before that it is his destined alpha that is courting him.

Lu Han feels pity for Jongdae, because he has had to wait for much longer after meeting his alpha for the first time, all because Minseok's parents held confusing standards that Minseok could never attain.

He feels pity for Minseok as well, because Minseok is trapped in all these wicked desires and expectations on them that is masked with the 'goal of having a good enough union'.

Fuck it.

Fuck it.

When Minseok's parents told Lu Han they just don't fucking want Jongdae for Minseok because they don't think Jongdae is pretty or at least a good omega at all.

Fuck them.

Minseok was already given Jongdae as his destined mate.

Who are you all to meddle into all of these?

"I want to give up," Minseok cries out, turning to Lu Han, causing the latter to look back at him. "I can't—I can't take it anymore. He just doesn't want me. He just doesn't—He just wouldn't like me ever!"

"Damn it, Minseok," Lu Han scolds, grabbing Minseok's shoulders. "Get it together! You have forever to wait for that omega. And I'm sure he'll one day like you. We now have all the means to reach him—You can't fucking give up now!"

"But he just keeps rejecting me," Minseok retaliates. "He'll just reject me again. However hard I try, maybe he just doesn't want me to be his alpha, Lu Han! He just doesn't want me. I should've known it the moment I saw him, that he was too high to attain and that I shouldn't have had hopes to ever be liked by an omega like him. I should've given up the first time!"
