Good To Me

Four days pass by the time everyone is conscious. Everyone bawls their souls out when Jihoon finally wakes up. (read: Soonyoung who's a mess) He's completely healed out of everyone, the serum true to its functions. The instructor is quick to hug and greet everyone, going up to Junhui and Seungkwan.

"There's nothing to fear anymore. They'll never walk around endangering anyone else. But, Soonyoung takes the credit for avenging the two of you." The omega gestures to the latter who's clinging onto him like a koala.

"Ji..." Junhui cries. He opens his arms for Jihoon to walk into, waiting on a chair. The omegas hug each other tightly, Jihoon wiping the ill man's tears away when the older's face is pressed into his chest.

"I don't want to see you crying anymore." Jihoon cups his face. Junhui nods but he can't stop crying, gulping for air and breathing heavily. They pull away and Junhui is quick to spin on his chair and shove his face into Minghao's stomach. The alpha coos at his omega, hugging him.

   With a chortle, the short omega turns to Seungkwan who's sobbing as well. He goes up to the other instructor, hugging and swaying each other. Seungkwan takes in the comforting caramel scent. "You. You're a questionable situation so whatever I say, you would do the opposite." Seungkwan swats the older but hugs the him tighter.

"I'm so glad— you're okay." The younger says between sniffles.

Jeonghan is walking up to the omega. The younger frowns seeing Jeonghan walk when he should be resting. Jeonghan is simply wearing sweats and a opened button up shirt which reveals his bandages and the sling of his cast.

"Why must you guys be so dramatic?" Jihoon shakes his head, gently hugging the injured man. Seungcheol is right behind the omega just in case he tries to exert himself for the nth time. Seungcheol is in no better condition compared to the omega.

"Because we love you." Soonyoung is still sobbing, clutching onto the omega. That prompts the instructor recall about the older's recovery.

"How are you feeling?" The alpha eyes the younger. An obvious suggestion to his behavior.

"What does it look like to you?" The latter shrugs and earns a betrayed gasp.

Wonwoo and Mingyu walk over, an endearing sight of the other couple. "He's fine. But he needed a denser dose to ensure that the serum would leave his system." Wonwoo notifies the older instructor. Jihoon hums in response, nodding.

"I guess I'll have to work on that some more..." Everyone in the room makes dissatisfied sounds.

"Can't you just take a break for once?" Chan goes up and hugs the other. The older flicks his forehead but agrees.

"Perhaps. We need to babysit these guys now." The omega points at Seungcheol, Jeonghan, Joshua, Junhui, Seokmin, and Seungkwan. They all give him a scandalous look but don't argue.

"What about me?!" Chan gasps pointing to all of his injuries and waving his broken hand.

"You're just built different." Hansol eyes the beta up and down. The maknae puffs up his chest, proud.

"Oh, don't get too cocky just yet." Joshua stands up, slapping the younger's back.

"OW!!!" The shorter shouts, slapped in the back where his shotgun injury is.

𖨆

Jihoon and Soonyoung are in their room of the mansion, the couple finally spending their alone time together. They're cleaned up and laying in bed, basking in the yearning warmth and touch.

"It's so unfair that you're fully healed." Soonyoung poked the shorter's stomach lightly. He still feels as if the younger isn't fully recovered.

"Yeah, well it was the only way..." He analyzes his alpha carefully. The latter could feel the lingering stare without looking up. "What did it feel like?" Soonyoung doesn't have to ask what the question is about, they both know. They're both momentarily quiet until the alpha is ready to answer.
