Look Closer |FilthySlate|

• Rank •

Five of them awoke the next morning taking turns using the water fountain to wash up as best as possible, and returned to the two small sleeping figures. They looked quite adorable (though none of them would ever admit the brown haired kid was anything other than a jerk), their heads touching each other as their chest moved as they breathed slowly, it was a wonder how the blonde haired one had curled up to the other.

"This is the longest he's gone without being a total jerk." Ji-ho said as he looked at the two boys curled up against a cabinet.

"Huh! It's weird how someone smaller than Yejun could be capable of bullying him. Must be one small, but jerk alpha." Joon Woo said as he too gave the 2 boys a curious look, it was unusual for males to be omegas, but even more unusual for Alpha males to be small, or smaller than omegas.

"What is his deal with Omegas anyway? He seems to despise them, or at least, Yejun." Man-shik asked, as he sort of glared at the sleeping kid, but seemed more curious.

"Dunno, don't care. all I know is he's a jerk to Yejun, and I am not just gonna watch as he bullies an innocent Omega." Ji-ho said half-yelling at no one, he growled the last phrase causing a shift in motion of the 2 kids.

"We get it you're annoyed, but don't raise your voice there is still an Omega around." Joon Woo said calmingly, as he patted Ji-ho's shoulder gently.

"God knows what he was doing in here though. If he would have just gotten his sorry butt up, and actually attend gym, we would have all been hanging out outside of being stuck in this he** hole." Ha-joon spat out angrily, he motioned toward the surroundings of the gym.

"Complaining isn't going to get us out though. We may as well just suck it up, and make do with what we have, friendly conversation, you know?" Min-jun said fairly, but to the utter offense of Ha-joon.

"Friendly conversation? Are. You. Kidding. ME?! With that jerk of a wolf, no way in heck." Ha-joon hissed as he stood up and began pacing around his steps getting harsher as he neared the sleeping kids.

Though the tempers were still high, the mood chilled as the evening light started settling on them. The two kids yawned awake, and Yejun crawled over to the group and settled next to Min-jun.

"Whatcha' guys talking about?" Yejun asked, yawning as he ruffled Min-jun's hair, who made a face and scowled, pushing the older's hand away.

"Nothing, you know our band right? We were wondering if you'd like to join. It needs more members since it's only the 5 of us." Ji-ho asked hopefully, all eyes landed on Yejun who fidgeted with his fingers.

"You know what they'll say... I'm an omega and-" Yejun started carefully but he was cut off.

"They won't be able to say anything. We'll be with you every step of the way. You're the only option we have, you have a fantastic voice and one of the best dancers we have, after Ha-joon of course." Joon Woo said, winking at the orange haired alpha who smiled cheekily.

"Yeah, but what if-" Yejun said, but was cut off again, by another voice.

"But what, hyung? We promise we'll keep you safe no one can touch you, it's your decision." Min-jun said as his wide doe eyes stared at Yejun's.

They all knew why he was so reluctant. Omega's were once and still considered "breeding material" or weak wolves, yes it was true they were physically less capable than other ranks, but their charm worked in its own way. Centuries later and laws were passed in certain packs re establishing the rights of Omegas, and how they should be treated. At first packs were hesitant to accept it, especially treatment towards male omegas which were considered the lowest rank, as males often should protect and guard their pack, not be some weak runt.

It was unfortunate how some were treated, but despite the idea being exempted by virtually all packs, some were still reluctant  only seeing them as weaklings, or the runt of the litter. That was exactly how that jerk felt, or at least what they thought he felt like.

Modern packs have established rights toward all ranks, and Omegas in almost all packs are treated with respect like any other wolf. However, some packs like the one Si-woo was in strongly opposed that ideal, especially having male omegas. These packs follow traditional rules and treat lower ranks as scum, alpha's should only interact with omegas to mate. Nowadays however most don't mind omegas, male or not, but most are still wary when they see interactions between high rank alphas and lower ranks. This was what Yejun was worried about.

"What will they think?" Yejun asked abruptly, breaking the silence.

"What, d'you think they suspect you're capable of mating all of us at once?" Ha-joon said jokingly, raising an eyebrow at Yejun.

"What? Wha- no! You Idiot! It's just that... you know...." Yejun said, turning a shade of bright red as he hit Ha-joon as if to get away his embarrassment.

They all laughed, for the first time in a while, before their laughs seemed hollow. After a bit Yejun-Min-jun and Ha-joon-Joon Woo played a game of soccer with each other with Ji-ho as their referee, the gymnasium once again lit up with laughter.
