Imperfect Love

   With each day that passed, Jeonghan was running out of time. He felt that he and Seungcheol were really something. Possibly true to be actual lovers. The thought made his heart ache as he stares at Seungcheol's sleeping figure. Jeonghan gently reaches out to brush his hand through the older's soft locks, thinking of their last moments. He could disappear and come back to kill him on the due date. He could distance himself and call it off. He could make the last few days memorable. Or he could kill him right now. A sharp and powerful scent startles Seungcheol awake.

   He groans and blinks a couple of times before staring at Jeonghan. "Han? What's wrong?" He wraps his arms around the younger's waist, pulling him closer, and brushes the tears away. Jeonghan pulls the latter closer if possible, shaking his head. Though Seungcheol is unsure why his partner is suddenly upset, he remains quiet and believes that Jeonghan will tell him when it's the right moment. He rubs his cheek against the latter's scent gland, easing his scent to calm Han. As he stares past the younger's figure, holding him tight, he stares at the locked drawer where Jeonghan's file is.

⚔︎

   Joshua enters Jeonghan's office, a knowing look on the American's face. "I know you've fallen for him." The younger starts. Jeonghan ignores his statement which angers the latter. Three days until Jeonghan has to do something before he may get killed for not abiding by orders.

   Joshua only wants the best for Jeonghan. He doesn't want his best friend to go through any pain, guilt, shame, or grief because of the attachment developed on the mission. After Joshua completed his, he tried his best to ignore the pain, but he could never forgive himself. Not even his own omega. Not after realizing there was something more to just survival. "Look, Jeonghan," His voice breaks, almost foreign to Jeonghan's ears. The scent of wilting lavenders is even more shocking.

The latter looks at him with a hurt look that the older hasn't seen in so long. "if you really believe that you both are truly lovers, go for it. Run away from here. Bring him. Don't kill what brings you the will to live." Jeonghan clasps a hand over his mouth, tears dwelling in his eyes.

"Joshua..." He cries.

   The omega continues. "This was bound to happen. And about Junhui's case, I don't think he could've killed Minghao no matter what. He would've killed himself before killing Minghao if that was the only option left." Joshua breathes, saying his final thoughts as he stares lovingly at the portrait of their group as a whole. Six until five. "We still have some human compassion within ourselves somewhere. Besides the past torture and building a new foundation into us, we're human." Joshua touches the photo of Junhui. A lovely dongsaeng he adored. He had only three most important people in his life, Seokmin, Junhui, and Jeonghan. Two of the brightest were gone and now he only has Jeonghan. Joshua doesn't believe anyone could live through misery if history repeated itself.

"Now go." He encourages the lead omega. Jeonghan gets up from his seat and hugs Joshua tightly, tears springing from both of them. "I knew I didn't lose you... thank you." Joshua could only give the older one last squeeze before letting the leader leave the base.

As long as your happy, I'll be happy.
