09. Mingyu/Wonwoo

Mingyu

In my arms, Wonwoo keeps watching the tiny lightning bolts that connect us every time he waves a hand across my naked skin. During his heat, we were both too far gone in the experience for either of us to pay attention aside from the first time, but now he seems fascinated by the way Fate connects us.

"Does everyone spark like this?" Wonwoo asks.

"Dunno." I thumb his chin and tip his head to look into his eyes. "It's so rare that people actually find their Fated that not much is written about it."

"I know. I just wondered if you'd heard since you get out more than me."

His words break my heart. I wish I could have been there for him to soothe his hurt, but I—we—messed up.

"Would you like to help me with the flatbed trailer this weekend? I can take you to the lumber shop. If you don't want to help, you can sit and watch me work, then we can put our heads together for a design."

Wonwoo swirls his finger over my belly button. "I'd like that, but wouldn't it be more cost-efficient to buy a new flatbed for the parade float?"

"Not in this case. I can replace the rotted boards and that'll take care of the problem." I snag his hand when he starts to tickle me. "And I'm not that creative, so I'm glad you're going to help with the design."

"I love that kind of stuff. What about..." Wonwoo taps his lips as he thinks. "I think a winter wonderland-type set would be pretty. We can have a barre down the middle to showcase a few of us dancers. Maybe an arch and a few fake trees. Dunno. I haven't given it much thought. I didn't know if you'd really want me to help."

"I'd love your help."

"Okay, then, yes. I want to go with you and help figure things out." He gives a sharp nod, then buries his head in my chest. "But now. Sleep." He yawns and I wrap him in my arms to bring him closer.

Wonwoo

I yawn as I wait on the phone with my doctor's office. Like Mingyu said, it's a good idea to tell them I've had a heat to see what they say.

Mingyu woke up early for an appointment to work on some dry wall for a client. I miss being in his arms. Waking up next to him again felt like a dream, one I never want to wake up from.

"Wonwoo?"

"I'm here!"

"Good morning. This is Doctor Bae. Are you sure you experienced a heat?"

My cheeks burn. "Pretty sure. Eric sensed it before I understood what was happening to me. Then it was an intense five-day ordeal."

"Five days? Are you sure?"

I grind my teeth and take a deep breath. Doesn't matter which doctor, they always question me like this. "Positive. Five days of sex, then three days of rest. I thought I'd die without my alpha's knot inside me and his cum flooding my system."

"Hmm, sure sounds like a heat. But you shouldn't be able to have one. Can you come in?"

"Yes." Though I hate the no doubt invasive exam he'll perform. We set an appointment for the afternoon. Once I'm off the phone, I text Mingyu to let him know I've done it, and then Eric to tell him I won't make the afternoon practice. Luckily, he's understanding and sends a thumbs-up emoji.

My stomach is a little upset after talking to the doctor. It's always irritating how they don't listen to me when I tell them something is going on with my body. I have to wonder if it's like that for all omegas or just me.
