You are Our Habit

Chapter 12

It was a day off Hao badly needed. Wonwoo told him that for him everyone took their days off too and booked seats in a nearby cozy beef restaurant. When he came out from his room, everyone were already waiting for him at the door. Just by looking at their wondering eyes and faces for few seconds Minghao could feel how worried they actually are for him.

Coups hyung broke the silence first,
"Are you feeling okay Myungho?"

Minghao nodded.

"We planned this outing to visit this new restaurant for you. We thought good food will surely lift your mood. But if you don't want to we can cancel."
Jeonghan said worriedly.

"Hyung, I want to go with you all. And Am fine, don't worry. Wonwoo hyung told me."

Jeonghan smiled, "Okay then let's go, and let's have some fun. By the way Myungho you look beautiful today."

Minghao started blushing.
"Wonwoo hyung chose the outfit."

Seungkwan did a little salute with two fingers to Wonwoo and said, "Taste". Wonwoo reciprocated it with a smile.

Everyone became fine when they get to smell that sweet refreshing scent of Myungho. It's a sign that he is actually all right. They went on to buckle up in their cars.

After a small ride, they reached their restaurant. Minghao became overly excited just by looking at the grandeur of the restaurant. All the members around him started adoring him like a baby. A staff came out and welcomed them inside. They have arranged the most VIP table and a private section for them. Afterall they are the most famous Seventeen, who wouldn't want to impress them?!

It was totally a private area. No other customer can reach them or see them even in here. Everyone loved the arrangement but Minghao was the happiest. After a long time he went out with his whole group and that also in such a great place. He started taking lots of pictures. He was already scheduling in his head when to post them. They were waiting for their food to arrive, when suddenly Wonwoo's words came back to Minghao's head, out of nowhere. He dropped his phone and looked back to all of his members who were busy chatting with each other. All of them love him??? They look so handsome today. Like really? They all consider him as a mate??? And they can suffer just for him??? How can he deserve all this?? It can't be true. All these thoughts clouded his brain. It's not like he didn't get butterflies in his stomach in front of everyone recently. He blushed whenever one member flirted with him, he wanted to kiss all of them, he got jealous whenever they took care of someone else but not him, he got more wet dreams with each members recently, he once saw in his dream he was being marked by all of them, but it was a dream. That can not be a strong reason for seeing 12 of them as your potential mate?!! Can it??!! How on earth it can even be possible?! And most of all, each one of them deserve to have a great Omega for themselves who will be able to give them next generation too. They can't sacrifice that for him. No way.

"Myungho are you not feeling well?" DK suddenly asked bringing Minghao out from his thoughts.

"No no hyung am fine. I just.....got....zoned out"
Minghao said nervously by forcing a smile.

"Hyung, Have some water"
Seungkwan gave him the glass.

Minghao gulped all of it in one breath.

Dino was sitting next to Myungho, he slided his hand on Minghao's hand over his thighs to assure him, "Hyung, please don't think of last night much. Rather let's make happy memory today."

Minghao nodded. But in his head he never thought about last night at all.

Joshua was sitting at the other side of Minghao, he closed his gap with Minghao by dragging the chair, and glided his hand to hold Myungho's waist. "Guys, why don't we play a game until the food is here that will probably help Myungho to cheer up too. Isn't it Myungho?" He looked at the cherry red faced Myungho in his eyes. Myungho nodded silently. Joshua kept his hand there while others on the table tried very hard to not glare at him.

Minghao's brain just got hazy the moment Dino touched his hand and Joshua held him at his waist. It was as if the God himself was saying it was already planned, you'll have 12 mates and you can't change anything about it. His body started becoming warm. Shua hyung didn't let his hand go anywhere until they actually started playing a game. Not only that, each of them gave him the best portions of the dishes that they ordered and waited until Minghao ate it's first bite. He felt like he was getting princess treatment.

After they almost finished their meal, Minghao cleared his throat and said, "Guys I have something to talk".

Everyone looked at him and were visibly confused.

Minghao couldn't meet their eyes so he fixated his gaze on the table top. After breathing in for two more time, he finally mustered up the courage to speak,

"Ummm, I was thinking to move to Manager hyung's house. He had this empty apartment below his floor that he talked about sometimes ago. I'd talk to the company too but before that I wanted you all to know."

Even if a feather had dropped that moment people would have been able to hear the sound. Everyone became that silent. They couldn't process why out of nowhere Minghao came to this decision.

After a while, Mingyu said, "Is it that disgusting to stay with us now?"

Minghao already had tears in his eyes. The amount of strength and will power it needed to say those words, it felt like he was stabbing himself with thousands of knives. But with Mingyu's words something inside him just curled up and his eyes flooded while he wanted to scream, "No....I'm disgusting.....I'm....you all .....love me....I can see that.....you all take me as a potential mate, you all will sacrifice yourselves for me.....I'm no one.....why you all want to do that??? I don't deserve it."

But instead he let his tears fall and  said, "yes, it is. Being an Omega staying with 12 Alphas it's very hard to get any mate for me. So yeah I want to move."

Seungkwan still thought it was a joke and tried to move it away, "but hyung it's impossible we are a kpop group who stays together. Being alpha Omega it comes secondary to us."

"But Our Director gave us permission now to stay at different places if we want to. It doesn't matter anymore now. That's what he said. And also during my heat period I always had to move so it's better if I move permanently. I can still take part in all of our group activities. It doesn't affect that at all."
Minghao said it in one breathe.

"Myungho are you doing this because of what I told you in the morning?"
Wonwoo asked.

Minghao couldn't lift his eyes up. He was continuously scratching his fingers, where his eyes were still wet.

"Do you not realize that even if you move places, countries or universes we will not mate with anyone else anymore? Do you understand that Myungho?" Wonwoo asked with a stern eye.

"WHY.....WHY....WHY...why you all will sacrifice for me? I am no one. I should have always kept my scent hidden."
Minghao's eyes started flooding.

"You are our everything Myungho."
S.coups said it in a commanding voice.

"We will have many problems Myungho. You will have too. We have our ruts, our instincts but you also have your heat periods. And if we all remain together we can definitely find out ways together to deal with them. And yes we take you as our only potential mate but that doesn't mean you have to take the same decision too. We'll not be the barrier between you and your mate ever. If you find someone We'll never interfere with it. But you can't expect to move out and suddenly We'll all be mating someone else just to elongate our generation. That's not possible Hao."

"Why not?"

"Because Alphas can mate anyone they want, get as many generation they want, but love happens for once. And once we're in love with someone it's an eternal bond, even if we don't mate with them ever. It never goes away. And that had happened Myungho. Our scent had accepted your scent as the only eternity bond. We cannot step back from it. No matter how far you wanna go from us, it'll still stay with us."

"But .....but......all 12 of you...???"

"Yes all 12 of us."
