Hold you tight

"Jake, please come meet me before leaving," The manager spoke as the members were packing up their things, ready to leave the hype dance studio.

Jake could feel all of the members' eyes on him and it make the boy anxious by the sudden attention. He assumed Heeseung must have sensed it as the alpha released his scent to calm Jake, he moved closer to the younger and hold his hands too and it still make the omega's cheeks burn. After Jake agreed, he bid his goodbyes to the others who kept insisting to wait for him. However, judging by the manager's face, it'll take a while and the poor boy didn't want his pack to wait for him.

When everybody left, Jake and his manager headed to his office which was on the top floor of the building. As Jake stood next to the man on the elevator, he suddenly felt dizzy, his vision slowly dissolving. "Are you okay?" The manager asked as he help Jake to maintain his balance. Jake nodded, he couldn't utter a word. His throat felt dried and when the elevator door opened, it was the last thing he saw before the darkness enveloped him.

The lights shined bright on his face as Jake opened his eyes. He squinted around the 4 wall room and it reveals no one in sight aside from an IV drip next to his bed. It caused him to glance down at his arm and he realized the clear liquid was indeed running through his body.

Jake groaned when he tried to sit up. His hands found their way to his stomach, hoping the heat would help with the stiffness of his muscle. It's as though small needles are stabbing repeatedly at every spot on his body. Jake lay back down on his back, his breathing was shallow by the overwhelming aches. he assumed it was from last night. It felt as though he was in the practice room again.

For the past few weeks, he noticed how sloppy he has been performing lately with almost all mistakes made by him. Jake felt deeply guilty by his lack of energy but he can't help it. His diet has taken a toll on him and sometimes, it took so much effort to just breath. Jake felt like the mirrors were his greatest enemies, he could feel their glare and judgment burning through his mind. Nonetheless, it was the object he kept staring at himself through.

The voices can be so harsh to the point where he found himself kneeling on the floor with his fingers down his throat, forcing all the food to come out. He gag himself until his throat stung and his eyes filled with tears. He's glad no one knows though but the members did catch on to his eating habits. Especially Jay, who always encouraged him to eat well, and Sunghoon who would offer Jake his favorite pieces of the meal. The omega appreciates their effort but no matter what, he can't seem to swallow them. It was like swallowing a whole apple in one go.

The cold touch on his hand brought Jake back to reality, away from his nightmares. When Jake met Heeseung's eyes, the older quickly embraced him. Whispering sweet nothing in his ears, Heeseung's earthy aromas filled his nose and Jake felt like all of his worries and stress had melted. It just taught Jake how much Heeseung meant to him and how wonderful of a mate he is. It's strange how Jake's body was shivering but his heart felt warm and loved.

"I'm okay hyung, don't worry," Jake spoke, knowing damn well he was lying through his teeth. Heeseung seem doubtful but didn't comment on it, instead, he asked, "Have you eaten my love? I brought your favorite tuna sandwich today," Jake smiled, something about the older remembering details about him makes his heart skip. Jake started to peel off the wrap of the sandwich, ignoring the calories his brain is counting. He ignored the sweat on his palms, the sudden sharp breaths he took, and the constant whispers of the numbers.

"Hey, it's okay baby, take your time." Heeseung placed his hand on Jake's, noticing the fastened pace of him unwrapping. He knows it's hard for the younger, he has seen all the awful things Jake had to go through. Every time Jake entered the bathroom at 2 am, Heeseung would stay awake for him until the male is back in his embrace. The older chest felt heavy when Jake spend so long in the toilet and it hurts 10 times more when he heard the small whimpers from his omega. All Heeseung wanted to do was hold him close and protect him from everyone. To keep him safe. But when your life depends on your popularity, it's impossible to do it.
