One Cold Night | YeonGyu

2/2 [M]

Yeonjun sat in his big, comfortable bed, surrounded by the soft light coming from the lamp on the nightstand, a tablet in his hands, and glasses propped on his nose. He tried to read the book he'd been procrastinating on for weeks but the words seemed to repeat themselves in a continuous cycle like a broken record as his train of thoughts took on a different course every five minutes.

He couldn't stop thinking about the person a few rooms away from him.

Yeonjun looked over to the tall, double window, frowning slightly.

The rain had gotten worse, accompanied by the strike of lightning flashing across the night sky from time to time.

Recalling the stormy weather scared the pretty omega, Yeonjun wondered how was Beomgyu doing right now- if he was able to sleep calmly, if he was alright. The omega was nearly burning hot, his pheromones heavy and all over the place. Yeonjun's alpha had been restless ever since he was able to perceive the incredible smell wafting off of Beomgyu's trembling body, irritating his mind like an itch he couldn't scratch.

Should he go and check on him, just in case?

Yeonjun chewed on his lower lip as he contemplated whether to listen to his instincts or not.

The sudden, nasty crack of thunder startled him, the reading device slipping from his grasp. The lamp providing light flickered.

Frowning, Yeonjun slid his reading glasses down and rubbed the bridge of his nose, eyes shutting close.

It was very late. Maybe he should stop trying to finish the chapter (he barely paid attention to it anyway) and go to sleep. He should probably also check how was Beomgyu doing, to ease his restless alpha...

Sighing, Yeonjun put the tablet back on the nightstand when an overwhelming, sweet scent hit his nose.

Alarmed, he whipped his head over to the source where it was coming from.

The sight nearly made him growl low in his throat.

Beomgyu stood in the doorway, looking extra small in that ridiculous, hot pink sweater, fiddling with his fingers covered by the long sleeves like a shy child. He seemed a bit agitated, rocking on his feet back and forth, teeth tugging at his bottom lip nervously. His eyes didn't know where to shift their focus. They kept darting from one side to the other.

"Yeo- Yeonjun hyung..." Even his voice had gotten smaller, barely above a whisper.

"Hm?"

Due to his enhanced senses, Yeonjun was able to notice the flicker of crystal blue in those black orbs when he made eye contact with Beomgyu.

That brief interaction between them did something to the omega. His legs pressed together and the shiver in his body got worse.

"Alpha." A breathless moan escaped Beomgyu's lips as he gazed up at Yeonjun, eyes glassy and cheeks flushed.

Even from the distance, Yeonjun could tell Beomgyu was shivering, on the verge of crying and sweating profusely.

When Yeonjun beckoned Beomgyu to come closer and the omega obeyed without blinking twice, Yeonjun's primal instincts kicked in shockingly fast, suddenly overcome with a desire to take care of the man in every possible way.

"What's wrong, Beomgyu-ya?" Yeonjun asked, voice low and soft. His eyes were focused on Beomgyu who only squirmed, then flinched as another thunderous sound ripped through the sky.

"I-I don't feel good. I tried to sleep but, it's so- so hot and... and the noise from outside scares me."

A closer look at Beomgyu's flushed face and dazed eyes convinced Yeonjun of his suspicions.
