⭐️Starlight, You shine so bright!⭐️ ||Seongjoong (Omegaverse)

chapter 2

Seonghwa was the first to wake up.

It was barely dark outside, and he could see the faint signs of the sun rising from his flimsy curtains. And from those little rays of light, he could tell a few hours had passed already. He gently pried himself out of Hongjoong's hold and simply sat up in his bed, his legs closely pressed to his chest. He sat there simply watching the alpha as he slept.

They had done it.

They had crossed that line.

Seonghwa hadn't really intended to suggest it, but it had been in the spur of the moment, and he couldn't find it in him to regret it.

Was he supposed to regret it?

Probably.

But he didn't, and Hongjoong's words rang in his head so loudly. Did he really know what he was getting himself into? He had proudly said he did last night, but did he truly know so?

He ran a hand through the alpha's chocolate-toned strands, loving how soft and fluffy it felt under his fingertips but stopped immediately when he slightly stirred. He reluctantly withdrew his hand and stretched his limbs. That was when he suddenly remembered he was still covered in sweat and cum that he had been too tired to clean up last night.

He groaned and got up from his bed, heading straight for the bathroom. He closed the door behind him and immediately reached for a hair tie to hold back his hair from his face. But as he tied his hair his reflection caught his attention and he smirked at himself, a sense of pride heavy in his chest. He edged closer to the mirror with a smirk.

His neck and chest were littered with bright red and dull pinks on his skin but the highlight for him was the somewhat obvious bite mark in the junction of his shoulder and neck. Ideally, a mating mark would be right on the nape of his neck for it to even be considered a mating scar. It wasn't one though but it didn't stop him from feeling like it could be one. He trailed his fingers over the faintly highlighted teeth marks.

He couldn't help but wonder about how it would feel to be mated. He had been told it was a wonderful feeling. Being able to be connected to someone so intimately was something Seonghwa could only dream about. Mating was something he would never consider in this lifetime.

He felt too defective and unlovable to even consider himself worthy of being someone's mate. He was, after all, damaged goods and too much work for anyone to handle. He was better off being how he was now. He had friends who cared for him, a job that he loved, and a generous enough owner who treated him alright. What more could he want in this life? He had more than he had ever thought was possible already.

He was content with this much.

He sighed and rolled his shoulders. He really did need that shower as soon as possible.

Feeling refreshed and bored with nothing to do. Seonghwa went to his kitchen cabinet and grabbed a random wine bottle and a wine glass, heading straight for his balcony terrace. It wasn't that early in the morning. It was probably around 6, the perfect time to watch the slow winter sunrise in the distance over Seoul.

As soon as he opened the door, he slightly shivered. It might be the middle of spring but mornings were always cold and not to mention the light clothes he was wearing but he really didn't give a fuck. He placed the bottle and glass on the small table before he sat down. Luckily for him, his cigarettes were on the table and would help him warm up.

What a perfect start to his morning!

When Hongjoong woke up, he was very confused as to where he was in the beginning but instantly remembered when he saw that he was naked. He looked to his side and was surprised not to find Seonghwa but instead, he felt a slight chill wash over him.
