Xiao Zhan woke up with a throbbing headache alongside the post-clarity of what he did last night washing over his whole conscience. His cheeks turned warm upon remembering two identical faces popping up in his mind as he relieves his heat away. 

He sighs exasperatedly, disappointed at himself on many kinds of levels. How should he face the two now that he just clearly used them to relieve himself? 

Or maybe his heat is just becoming out of hand. Whenever he's around the two, he feels the familiar warmth on his abdomen and a voice cheering inside his head when he's around the twins. Now that he's thinking clearly, he should visit his doctor already, and it's been more than a week since he was advised to take a rest. Well, it's mainly he's at fault for not listening to his doctor and went to go to work even if he's still not yet stable as the doctor said.

 He sighs once again as he stoops down his bed, sluggishly putting on his inside slippers, and made his way to the kitchen.

He then starts his coffee machine to brew himself some coffee, and then went to grab the bread from the cabinet and put them on the toaster.  He then stares blankly at the whiteness of his kitchen wall, not even minding the throbbing headache he had since he woke up. 

But then his thoughts were disturbed when his coffee machine suddenly chimes followed by the ting of his toaster. He sluggishly poured his coffee and grabbed a saucer and placed his toast over it. 

He sighs once again as he carries his mug of coffee and a saucer of two slices of bread to the living room. Them slumps himself down on the sofa after settling his breakfast on the coffee table. 

It was a good thing that it was his day off today or he doesn't know how to face the twins after what he did. He sighs determinedly and sat up, motivated as he figured out what will he do today as his day off. He thinks that after he visits the doctor, maybe he'll do some office work to keep his mind off thinking of them. 

As he enjoys his simple breakfast his phone chimes, and he immediately fishes them out of his pocket. As he expected, his phone buzzed because of a message. A text message that he's unconsciously waiting for that made his omega light up in delight. 

Just as when he told himself that he doesn't like to think about them on his day off. 

He received a message greeting him a good morning from the group chat that they made for convenience instead of opening two chat heads. 

A smile voluntarily appeared on his lips as he slowly bites off his toast, then he types with his free hand, clearly smitten by the two alphas' thoughtfulness in the early morning. Then it instantly occurs, his cheeks immediately flushed pink. He should not be thinking of them!

After sending them a good morning greeting while restraining his smile which he was not able to contain in the end and end up smiling anyway, he finished his breakfast and made his way to his room, and did his morning routine. 

.

Before Xiao Zhan can drive his car out of the parking lot. His phone chimes once again, seeing that he received a message from the group chat, he opened them. 

'Do you have class today?' - Xie Yie.

'It's my day off today. I have a doctor's appointment tho.' Xiao Zhan replied.

'A check-up? are you sick?' - Yibo

'Sort of?' he replied, smiling fondly as he reads their message. 

'What do you mean sort of? Are you really sick? 😱' it was Xie Yie. 

Xiao Zhan cackle at the emoji, he somewhat imagines the alpha doing that face. 

'I'm fine. Nothing to worry about 😅' he replied back, somehow finding the emojis cute to use. 

'What hospital?' Yibo suddenly interrupted. 

Xiao Zhan tilted his head, Yibo sounded so serious with his question but he shrugged them off. He then replied, 'At Cloud Recesses Hospital.'

After that reply, the three dots appear and disappears from below but there's no more reply from the two making his brows furrow. But he shrugged off the lack of reply from the two and put his phone down and started his engine

.

At his doctor's clinic at the hospital, Xiao Zhan sat down at receiving chair in front of the doctor's desk, explaining what had happened in the past week and how sorry he is for not following his doctor's attention.

The doctor just sighs, "So has it been happening constantly?" she asked.

Xiao Zhan looks away bashfully, "My heat only occurred twice, thrice if the first heat is counted," he replied.

She nodded, jutting down Xiao Zhan's results. "And that happened unexpectedly?" she asked once again. 

Xiao Zhan only nods with a sigh. 

"I see. Is there some sort of cause why you suddenly came into heat?"

Xiao Zhan looks away, "Alpha pheromones," he confesses. 

The doctor's eyes look up at him, a little stunned, "Oh. Maybe you're sensitive to alpha pheromones?" she asked, figuring out maybe that's why his second gender suddenly appeared. 

Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I don't think that is. I lived in an alpha family, I have not smelled my family's scent at all, I don't even know what their scent was. I also work at a university and I meet with different people but I can't smell them at all," he complains. 

The doctor hums and nods, this is a rare condition that she has not seen before. Or maybe it was connected to something that doesn't happen commonly but to special circumstances only. She wanted to tell him about the bond between fated pairs but it was so rare in this generation and was long gone forgotten that she knew the omega will surely not believe in it. So she pushed the thought under the rug. 

Or maybe she's just too fascinated by fated pairs that she jumped to that conclusion. Hence, she sighed, only one way to help the omega for now. 

"Hm, then I'll just prescribe you stronger suppressants than the ones I gave you last week. But you should take it when it's really out of hand, okay? This suppressant also has a bad side effect, so do not depend on it too much," she warns.

Xiao Zhan winced upon hearing the side effect she mentioned. He doesn't want the side effects to affect him later but he needed the suppressants. He sighs, he has no choice, does he?

The doctor immediately notice his reaction and chuckles, "Well, there's an even better medicine that doesn't have any side effects," she suggested which made Xiao Zhan whip his head almost as immediately, as his attention caught. 

"You need an alpha to scent you. Well, but since you said you were only triggered by a certain scent then it will not help you that much unless the one who triggered you were the one who'll scent you," she shrugged. She knew that'll be impossible but she said it anyway. Hopefully, he'll be able to find who were they. 

Xiao Zhan's attention was piqued, his brows furrowing as he tried to think of people that were around him that he can distinguish their scent. He sighs as nothing comes to mind.

But then they were both interrupted by a knock on the door. 

"Come in," she answered.

The door immediately opened and two familiar people appeared behind it, worry written on their faces. 

"Sean, are you okay?" they both asked in unison. 

Xiao Zhan's cheeks immediately turned red upon laying his eyes on them, his scent suddenly seeped out of him. 

Right, he can smell their scents. Why did he not think of them?

The doctor smiles upon confirming the sudden change in the omega's reaction. The shade of red laid on his cheeks and the sudden spike of the omega's pheromone, she understood instantly. 

"Why not them?" she suggested, a wicked smile on her face.
