"Everything was supposed to be a dream..."

"Yes, he won't be remembering anyone for sure. That's why he needs you more than ever. Are you willing to go into this? Sacrifice life that you have now to take care of him? You never know in which condition he might be when he wakes up. Maybe you'll have to lose your job because of him, maybe it'll have bad effect on your social life-"

"I will do it. Nothing matters to me more than him being here with me..." minho said his voice shaking.

"Minho... he might not like you anymore..." this sentence broke minhos heart.

"I-... I know..." he knew that that was a possibility. He knew well the reason as to why they started talking was because of his I'll intentions. But he was willing to start again, because he loved him so much and always wanted the best for him. Even if it ment not dating him anymore.

"I just want him to be alive..." minho said tearing down hands shaking.

Chan handed him a tissue box. "I'm glad that he has someone like you... I'll sponsor you financially so that you don't have to work for the time being, but you'll still loose your job, hope you know that." Minho nooded.

"Ok then... I'll tell the team that you agreed with the pheromon transfer. Please, sign these papers. I already informed you about everything. You won't be in any danger throughout the transferring process, they're just gonna take an injection and withdraw the pheromone from your neck. There shouldn't be any side effects beside you feeling little unwell." Chan said showing minho where to sign the papers.

"I'll plan the pheromone transfer for tomorow if you're fine with it? The longer he stays dead, the worse..." Chan said.

"Its fine with me. The faster the better." Minho said giving him a small smile.

"Here's a list of things that help with renewing of the brain cells and what causes its death." Chan handed him a small list. "Thank you for coming."

-

Hyunjin and minho ware sitting in a car. Hyunjin was going through the list that Chan gave to minho.

"So... the good things are... learning, physical education, long pauses in between meals, vitamin P (🤠) and sex (google it, i dont make the rules)." Minho looked at hyunjin with offended look. "Good for you then." Hyunjin said.

"Hyunjin if he won't like me anymore, we won't be sleeping together." Minho said stressed.

"And the bad things... depression, stress, small amount of sleep, alcohol, drugs and age 30+..." hyunjin finished the list. "I think that you shouldn't have a problem with these things. Just make him happy, watch with him some cocomelon."

"Do you want him to get a brain damage?" Minho looked at hyunjin with raised eyebrows.

"Then just make him happy." Hyunjin said chuckling.

"That's all I want him to be... now that he'll be alive..." he said finally smiling a little.

"What are you gonna tell your wife?" Hyunjin wondered.

"I'm gonna tell her that I don't like her."

"You are ruthless..." hyunjin frowned.

"Of course I'm gonna be little bit more sentimental." Minho said. "But she's understanding... and I think that she knows that my heart always belonged to him." Minho said parking at hyunjins place.

"Good luck then." Hyunjin smiled and got out of the car.

-

Minho got home and she was there sitting on a couch. "Hey,..." she said.

"Oh, hey... listen... I'm sorry for leaving just like that-"

"I get it... you wanna save him... right? I always knew that you would prefer him over me, right after I found out about him. That's the reason why you never let me mark you." She said. "I'm going to sleep at my parents house today, tomorow I'm gonna pick my stuff. Take care." She said, took some of her belongings and was about to leave.

"Listen... I'm sorry. I myself wanted to move on. But I couldn't, I was scared... thank you for being here with me for the past three years..." minho said and hugged her.

"Ya... its fine. If you need a talk, you have my number. Text me whenever you need... that boy of yours is the luckiest man... oh... and... thanks for staying with me for the korean VISA." she said, smiled and left.

She was always trying to marry a man for a korean VISA because she was Chinese. The thing is... minho knew from the beginning. So he made a deal with her. He let her marry him so that he himself woudnt be all alone. He wasnt planning to take her as something more than friends with benefits. She knew as well, so they ware going with it up untill now.

Whenever they had a silly little fight over something. She started talking in Chinese. He understood a lot of the words well later on. He could even tell her off in Chinese, but he purposefully started arguing in japanese to piss her even more.

She couldn't understand a single word so she started cussing him off which then led up to minho bursting out laughing and her finding the whole situation funny so she then stopped eventually. They ware good as a friends, but not good as a pair.

Minho decided to go to sleep early, so that he's prepared for tomorow. Hyunjin was going with him so that he wouldn't get dizzy after getting into the car when he's done.

-

"So Mr. Lee, its gonna sting just a little bit." The man said.

"Ok." Minho said turning his head the opposite direction.

"If you're gonna feel unwell or sick, tell us." He reassured minho and finaly inserted the needle into minhos neck.

Minho hated needles, but when it comes to jisung, he would do anything.

After about a minute, he was freed from the white chair. "Do you need something cold to drink?" The doctor asked.

"I-its fine..." hyunjin supported his body right after he entered the room. "I just feel... empty... on the inside..."

"That's because the omegas pheromones are gone. You have non in your body currently." The doctor said.

It was an awful feeling for minho. "When is... he going to be alive?" Minho asked hopelessly.

"We're gonna try to do it as quickly as possible. Not just because of him, but also because of the pheromones. Nothing can seal the pheromones better than a human body." The doctor said.

"We should be done with the operation... probably in two days... but he's not going to be awake after those two days..."

-

Hyunjin drove minho and himself home. He lied on the couch sighing. Something has been sitting on his mind for a few days now.

"Is something wrong? I can sense your pheromones are getting bitter." Seungmin walked up to him.

"Do you remember the day that me, minho and jeongin met?" Seungmin nodded.

"Jeongin... is having a hard time by himself..." hyunjin said.

"Does he?" Seungmins eyes got bigger and sadder.

"Yeah... I've been thinking of him since then. You know... like with you, I've been knowing him since his first heat... I've been taking care of him the whole time... and... throughout the past few years I've been hoping that he found someone good... now, seeing him after a long time... I realized how... I kinda miss him..."

"Where are you going with this hyunjin?" Seungmin knew that hyunjin had soft spot for the other. He couldn't blame him, he himself had a soft spot for the younger as well.

"Minho... just randomly suggested poly relationship... I don't want to force you into this... and if you don't agree then it's completely fine... I just tought... that it might not be the worst thing to go for..."
