The gentle giant {Yungi}

Chapter 9

Yunho pouted and laid back down quietly and watched Mingi head into the bathroom.

He took his time to think back to the books he read about statuses.

"Alpha is supposed to be rejecting another alpha's pheromones..." Yunho mumbled, "But why does it seem like I'm okay with Mingi's? Is he not an alpha? Or am I not an alpha?"

"But there's no way... I clearly saw his eyes turn red a minute ago..." He continued but stopped immediately when he heard the bathroom door open.

Mingi limped his way out of the bathroom and plopped back onto the bed next to Yunho.

The taller gently brushed Mingi's hair out of his face, "You hungry?"

Mingi nodded, "Not really..." He circled his arm around Yunho's waist and pulled him closer, burying his face into Yunho's torso.

"Let go, I'll bring you food." Yunho patted Mingi's arm, signalling him to let go. But the shorter whined and snuggled closer to the taller, hugging him tighter.

Yunho sighed, he knows alphas in rut can be really needy and stubborn, "Want me to carry you?"

Mingi quickly looked up and nodded, earning a sigh of defeat from the taller.

Yunho had no choice but to carry the boy in rut out of bed and allowed the shorter to cling onto him like a koala. He waddled his way to the kitchen with the boy attached to him and started preparing the food he brought.

He tried so hard to keep his mind from being aroused by Mingi's scent but failed so miserably as Mingi was constantly releasing huge amounts of pheromones. It drove him crazy.

"M-Mingi-ah... Can I put you down here? I'm getting tired..." Yunho asked softly, tapping his fingers on the counter.

Mingi looked at the cold marbled counter in silence, then climbed down from Yunho, then jumped and sat onto the counter. The blush on his face never disappeared from his pale skin, making him look rather adorable and innocent. He stared blankly at Yunho's face as the taller got to work.

Yunho let out a sigh of relief. Having Mingi so close to him is a very, very dangerous situation.

He quickly heated up the porridge he brought. He knows that Mingi'll lose his appetite during a rut, so porridge is the best option.

Once he's done, he placed the bowl onto the dining table, and went back to carry Mingi, who very obediently let him.

"You feeling better now?" Yunho asks as he force-feeds Mingi, who refuses to eat.

Ignoring the smaller's protests and struggles, Yunho gripped onto Mingi's chin and force opens his mouth, trying to shove spoonful of porridge into it, "Eat. You've not eaten whole day."

Mingi at first rejects it, but once he got the first bite, his tastebuds went alive. His stomach started rumbling, as if protesting his protest to eat. He gave in and let Yunho feed him.

Mingi nodded, "Much better. But it's not enough..." Mingi says, unable to look at Yunho in the eye.

Yunho, out of reflex, looks down to see Mingi's tent, again. He could feel his sweat rolling down his back, "You really are energetic."

Mingi smiled awkwardly, "Like I said, I can't help it..." He then quickly finished the last bit in his bowl, "I'm gonna... head to the bathroom..."

But this time, Yunho grips onto his wrist tightly, "It's not gonna get better if you get off yourself, no?"

Mingi nodded, "But it'll go away when my rut is over."

"Well let me help." Yunho looks up at Mingi with eyes of determination and plead, "Please..."

How could he say no to those eyes? Those big... stupidly worried puppy eyes.

Mingi had an internal fight with himself. But without getting an answer from Mingi, Yunho grabbed Mingi by his waist and picked him up.

"So it's settled!" He threw Mingi over his shoulders and took big strides into the bedroom.

"Wh- Let me down!" Mingi struggles, "Nothing's settled!"

Yunho purposely leaned forward, threatening to drop Mingi. The smaller quickly grabbed onto Yunho's hair to keep himself from falling, shrieking in fear at the process.

"OW OW OW LET GO OF MY HAIR!" Yunho shouts, "Quit struggling or I'll really drop you."

Mingi quickly obeyed. He let go of Yunho's hair and allowed the taller to dangle him back into the bedroom.

Yunho placed Mingi gently on the bed, "Let me know if you feel uncomfortable." He said as he started undressing Mingi.

"Wa-wait Yunho... I don't think this is a good idea..." Mingi says as he covered up his now naked upper body with his blanket.

"Don't worry about it. I said I'd help." Yunho responded. His voice lacing with anticipation. He knows that the suppressants he took earlier were starting to wear off, because Mingi's pheromones were starting to affect him fully.

Mingi's pheromones were like butterflies, flattering around beautifully, riding the tension, yet their wings were constantly slamming onto Yunho's conscious, again and again, as if telling Yunho to break character, and be aroused.

Yunho knew not to push it too far, he didn't want to scare Mingi. So again, he bit his lips as hard as he could to keep sane.
