"See you guys."
He walked out the apartment building, smiling brightly as he bid his friends goodbye.
It was past midnight and he couldn't help but panic as he looked at his phone.
He lost track of the time as he spent his afternoon with his friends today and he nervously read through the messages that went pouring out as he turned off the 'do not disturb' feature.
The young Alpha became even more worried as he read a certain message.
_____
🐺:
@Quokka, please come home if you can,
You know Minho won't eat when you don't give it to him..
Sent at 8:36pm✓
_____
It was literally 1:30 in the morning and Minho hasn't eaten a single thing since Lunch...
He frowned.
Turning off his phone, Jisung rushed to his car, quickly turning on the engine.
Before driving off, his eyes flickered to the window of the passenger seat,
Was that someone sleeping on the ground? In an alleyway with a family of rats?
He knew this neighborhood well, including what lurks in it.
He's walked in there once and it was not a fun time.
Jisung hesitated for a moment, he glanced at the window once again,
Was that.. a rat sniffing that guy's hand?
Oh hell no...
He mentally gagged and got out of the car.
Quickly striding towards the stranger's side, he stomped a foot on the ground, successfully driving the rat away as he grinned smugly before turning to the stranger.
An Omega...
His scent gave it away of course.
It's nearing fall too so someone shouldn't be out here sleeping.
The Omega practically had rags for clothes.
Jisung cursed at the state he was in.
Scooping him up, he was surprised but couldn't help but frown harder.
He was so skinny to the point that he weighed almost nothing.
Jisung may be an Alpha but he wasn't the strongest out there, and to think that this taller Omega was like a feather in his arms...
He shook his thoughts away and cautiously crossed the road.
He put the Omega in the passenger seat and fastened his seatbelt for him, also taking his coat off and placed it over the taller figure.
He yelped when it slid off but put it back on him in a way so it won't fall.
The sound of his ringtone caught his attention,
Looking at the caller, he answered immediately,
"Hyung?"
"Sungie? Where are you? It's late.."
"Ah, sorry, I lost track of the time, and..." Jisung glanced down at the sleeping figure of the Omega that sat prettily in the passenger seat, he cleared his throat, "Uh, just a little problem.."
"Problem?"
"Don't worry! I've got it all under control!"
"...Drive home safely, love you."
He could hear the uncertainty in his lover's voice.
"Mhm, love you too, Changbin-hyung.."
The call was then cut off and he held his chest, breathing out in slight relief.
Giving one last glance at the Omega, he went to sit in the driver's seat and drove off.

Seungmin felt a headache as soon as he woke up,
But he momentarily forgot about it when his eyes landed on an unfamiliar ceiling.
He shot up from the bed he comfortably laid on, now sitting up straight.
A sharp pain crossed his chest at the sudden movement and he winced.
He placed his hand on his chest and sighed a shaky breath,
Where am I?
Was his first thought.
He gulped, smelling the strong scents of multiple Alphas in the vicinity.
Did he get caught after passing out in a random alleyway?
It was the only think he could think of.
But the difference of the place he was left in made him unsure of his own thought.
Were Jongho's effort went to waste? What if they did something to his best friend?
He bit his lower lip harshly.
He hated how weak he was.
Seungmin felt more useless than he already did.
He softly clenched his fists.
The sound of approaching footsteps and the scent of an Alpha growing stronger made him flinch.
He immediately backed up on the bed's headboard, gripping the blanket and hugging his knees to his chest despite how painful it was to move.
The door opened and his heart stopped for a moment.
An unfamiliar Alpha..
The mere sight of an Alpha made him tremble.
He stood at the door for a moment and Seungmin watched him in fear,
Please, don't hurt me...
He pleaded in his mind, not having the strength to say it out loud.
Seungmin didn't want to get thrown around again.. it was rude to say something that he wasn't asked for...
He saw the Alpha take a single step inside the room but halted when he noticed the Omega's distress.
Then, Seungmin heard words he's never heard before,
"Are you okay..?"
