Only one for me (a Lee Minhyuk Btob x male reader story)

Ch 4

(Minhyuk's Pov)

Making my way to practice I can't help but to think back to Mason a smile forming on my face. I throw away my empty coffee cup before I enter our practice room Eunkwang giving me a slight look. "You're late." I immediately give a small sheepish smile. "Sorry I had something come up." He raises an eyebrow at me looking curious. "And what was so important that you missed an hour of practice?" I can't help but smile and say a little proudly. "I found my mate." Everyone pauses and looks at me wide eyed everyone starting to speak all at once I hearing the words. "What?! When?!" I hold a hand up everyone immediately going quiet. "I met him yesterday. He was here for auditions and I caught him having a freak out in the bathroom afterwards." They look at each other curious looks on their faces I hearing them say things like. "An omega auditioned to be an idol?" And "That's surprising you don't see many omega idols." I immediately feel a little protective. "Well it's the twenty first century omegas should be able to do anything alphas can." Eunkwang nods in agreement. "Minhyuk is right. You shouldn't judge his mate because he wants to perform." I nod a serious look on my face and Eunkwang turns to me curiously. "So what came up with your mate that you were late?" A scowl immediately comes to my face I letting out a little growl. "A few alphas tried to take advantage of him yesterday. His scent was spiked because I was practicing and my own scent was really pungent so his wolf was probably reacting and when he left to go home some alphas caught his scent and forced themselves on him." It's quiet before Sungjae asks hesitantly. "Is he okay?" I make a face but nod. "Yes but one of them bit him." Their eyes widen Changsub speaking up. "How'd your wolf react to that?" I think back to the mark on his neck and let out a deep growl. "Okay calm down now we don't need you going feral." I take a deep breath at Peniel's words before getting myself to calm down giving a little nod. "Luckily it was just on his shoulder. But I wanted to make sure he was okay so I visited him at his work." They look at me curiously. "Where does he work?" I hum before saying simply. "A cafe nearby." Before anyone can say anything else Eunkwang speaks up. "Alright let's get back to practice." We all nod and get into position I immediately focusing on practicing.

(Mason's Pov)

Repeatedly looking at the clock anxiously I see I still have fifteen minutes until we close I letting out a little sigh before grabbing a small bucket of soapy water and a cloth before I go to clean the tables. Once I'm finished I dump the dirty water out in a sink before I rush back to the front of the cafe seeing there's five minutes left until closing I looking down at my uniform that's dirty with flour, sugar and icing. Grimacing I look at Liam pulling a puppy dog look. "Do you have any clothes I can borrow? I don't wanna go on a date looking like this." His expression softens and he nods digging through his bag before handing me an outfit. "Here these are some of Derek's." I thank him and run to the bathroom changing into the tight jeans with a white form fitting muscle shirt with a blue and black flannel over it. I observe myself in the mirror the clothes fitting perfectly and enhancing my slightly firm figure I really glad that Liam's younger brother Derek and I are the same size right now and that he hasn't presented yet so there isn't a scent. Smiling I finger comb my short blonde hair before I leave the bathroom my uniform folded underneath my arm. Just as I make it to the front of the cafe I see that it's time to close I quickly grabbing my things and put my clothes in a plastic bag before following Liam and Malia out of the cafe Liam starting to lock up. I check the time seeing it's 5:03 I having seven minutes until Minhyuk shows up so I lean against the wall. Malia gives me a worried look. "Are you sure you wanna stay out here alone?" I give her a reassuring smile. "He'll be here in just seven minutes I'll be fine until then." Malia and Liam give each other looks but I shoo them away they reluctantly leaving. I lean back against the outside wall of the cafe and start scrolling through my phone to wait when I hear footsteps approaching I looking up curiously only to see a young alpha walking up to me I wrinkling my nose at his disgusting smell of cigarettes. "Well hello there pretty omega. What are you doing out here all alone?" I give him a dirty warning look. "I'm waiting for my mate. So if you'd be so kind as to leave me alone I would appreciate that." He chuckles a little. "Feisty. I like that." I glare at him as he moves into my personal bubble I pushing against his chest moving him backwards a little. "You need to back up and get away from me." He gives me a look and wraps a hand around my throat it chilling me to the bone. "I hate conceited omegas. Someone ought to put you in your place." I whimper pitifully as he squeezes his thumb pressing against my scent gland. "Such a sweet smelling omega." I grimace as his face gets closer to mine when suddenly the alpha turns his head in confusion I wincing as he's immediately knocked out his arm going limp and he dropping to the ground. I look up and am immediately relieved to see Minhyuk. "I'm so glad you got here when you did." He looks at me with a worried expression. "Are you okay? Your scent seems to attract trouble." I grimace slightly at his words. "I'm fine." He looks me over before nodding then gives me a stern look. "Why were you out here by yourself?" I immediately pull a pout. "It was only seven minutes before you would get here and I trusted that you'd be here for me. I wasn't expecting another alpha to come attack me." He frowns slightly. "Why don't you take suppressants or use scent blockers in public?" I immediately make a face. "I'm allergic. I tried them when I was sixteen and ended up in the hospital with anaphylactic shock." He sighs nodding in understanding. "Well promise me you'll be more careful when you're alone please?" I give a little nod and a small smile. "Alright I promise I'll be more careful." He nods then moves out of the way and motions to his car. "Come on let's start our date." I smile happily following him to the truck he's driving I carefully getting in and buckle up as he gets in and also buckles up before he starts driving. As we drive I look out the window as he puts the radio down at a low volume but still loud enough to hear and I start bobbing my head to a song singing a little quietly under my breath. Just before it gets to the chorus Minhyuk speaks up startling me. "Go ahead and sing if you want to." I blush and bite my lip before I start singing a little louder until the chorus comes I immediately getting into the song and start belting out to it. Once the song is over I snap out of my little daze only to notice we're stopped at a red light and I look at Minhyuk who's staring at me in awe. "Whoa that was amazing. You were meant to sing." I blush and look a little shy as he continues to drive off. "Thank you that means a lot coming from you." Soon we reach a fancy apartment and I go to get out as soon as we park but Minhyuk rushes to my door opening it before I can grab the handle. I smile and struggle to climb out since I'm extremely short I not expecting the alpha to reach up and grab ahold of my waist before lifting me out of the truck gently setting me on the ground I blushing mumbling a quiet. "Thanks." He smiles down at me before closing the truck door. "No problem. Now how about we go inside my apartment, eat and then watch something?" I smile nodding happily. "I'd like that." He grins and leads me inside the fancy apartment we taking our shoes off at the door before I follow him to the kitchen. I take a seat at the table while he goes to look for ingredients. "So tell me about yourself Mason." I blink before giving a small explanation. "Well my name is Choi Mason. I'm twenty five years old with my birthday in June. I'm a Korean American who lived in America and I moved here when I graduated high school. I love traveling and I've always dreamed of being an idol since I was little." He turns to me after cutting up some ingredients looking at me curiously. "Peniel's from America too. Maybe you'll both get along if you ever meet." I give a small smile. "Maybe." He then turns the stove on after putting a pan on the burner when he suddenly pauses and looks at me wide eyed. "Wait how old are you again?" I blink but repeat myself. "I'm twenty five. Why?" He blinks a little. "Honestly I wasn't expecting such a big age gap." I look at him with a raised eyebrow. "It's not that big it's just seven years. And I personally don't mind since I've always liked older men." He's quiet and my stomach immediately twists with anxiety. "Does it bother you?" He looks at me and immediately looks panicked as a tear rolls down my cheek. "No! No it doesn't bother me I promise I just didn't think you were that young." I wipe my cheek with the back of my hand. "I'm seen as mature for my age. Anyways what are we going to watch after we eat?" He hums thoughtfully as he starts cooking. "I was thinking of catching the new basketball game. If you don't mind." I immediately perk up smiling. "I don't mind that sounds great actually." He grins and looks back at me for a second. "Good." Soon he finishes with dinner and hands me a plate before sitting in front of me we eating eagerly. Once we finish he grabs my plate setting both mine and his in the sink then leads me to a living room area I taking a seat on the couch as he grabs a remote and gets the game started before he sits beside me slowly wrapping an arm around my shoulders. I smile snuggling into his side a little and focus on the game we making comments occasionally until I end up dozing off just as the game starts to end.
