I Can't Run Away

Jeonghan has been working on his main mission for five months on top of side missions given by his boss. Currently, he's waiting in his victim's home, hiding in their closet. He hears the sound of their car engine coming into the driveway before hearing the car doors shut and the car lock. The house door opens and he notices the rushed footsteps of his victim. The way the man's breath is hitched and panting as if he were panicking. He is panicking because the scent of tangy musk sharpens in the air. It makes the omega want to puke. Jeonghan peaks between the closet door which is slightly ajar, just the way the man left it, and sees the room's light turn on. He watches as the man pulls a suitcase out beneath his bed, fumbling with the code.

Bingo.

"Ah, thanks for unlocking the stolen treasures~"

The alpha whips his head so fast that it looks like a twizzler candy. He gasps at the presence of Jeonghan but before he could even have his last breath to scream, the knife is already dragged through the man's neck. Smooth and clean while blood gets on his gloves, clothes, and face.

He quickly takes the briefcase, memorizing the code which he observed earlier, and leaves the murder scene.

Once Jeonghan gets into his car, he thinks about Seungcheol. The thought of the older makes him crave his touch, missing his scent and warmth around him (not to mention how sexy his body is and how well-built his arms are). The older alpha is so sweet, gentle, loving, and charming. Jeonghan quickly puts his bloody gloves into a ziplock bag, changing out of his clothes into new ones, and wiping off the scent blockers before quickly driving to Seungcheol's place.

𖨆

When Jeonghan gets into the driveway of the very luxurious house, one that is very dark and blends in with the midnight sky, he sees his partner waiting at the doorsteps. Seungcheol's worried look, becomes soft when Jeonghan greets him with a smile, the older holding his arms out to welcome the younger.

I could kill you this very instant, Choi.

The younger hugs him back before kissing him hungrily. He hears Seungcheol laugh, pulling away. "Someone's a little feisty aren't they?" Jeonghan playfully rolls his eyes.

"Missed you, Cheolie." The older reincorporates the kiss, making the latter moan. The alpha nuzzles his face into the crook of Jeonghan's neck, taking in the sweet smell of mangoes. The touch makes the Angel giggle.

"I do too, I wish I was by your side all the time, Han." He pulls Jeonghan into the house. "But first," Seungcheol softly looks at the younger once again. "Please eat." The soft gesture makes Jeonghan's heart feel big and warm. He shouldn't feel this way though but the soft look and welcoming pheromones he's taking in say they're true feelings.

"Love is for the weak. But I built you the way I wanted you to be, right?"

Jeonghan suppresses the haunting voice and releases calm pheromones just to be safe.

"Lead the way, captain." Seungcheol makes a small meal, knowing the omega is tired from work. After a warm and fit full meal, the blonde is showering, basking in the warmth. Each droplet is an attempt to relieve and focus his mind somewhere else. Each droplet echoing in the bathroom distracts what he hears. However, when he grabs a loofa and begins to wash, he sees all the ugly scars on himself.

They would never understand what we went through... how long it took us to regain a sense of humanity in ourselves.

Once Jeonghan enters the bedroom, he sees Seungcheol waiting for him on the king-sized bed. Everything seems to fit Seungcheol very well. A high-profiled leader of the Ascenders. From the grey walls to the satin sheets of the bed is very dark. Though the omega has never seen the alpha's true nature as a leader, he can feel it deep down just from seeing the scars on the man's bare back.
