RIGHT PERSON WRONG PLACE

CHAPTER 53: AWAKE

And as the hours passed,
Yoongi kept his silent vigil,
prepared to be whatever Hoseok needed him to be.
For now,
that meant being close,
providing the calm that only his presence could bring.
And though the situation was far from simple,
Yoongi knew that,
for Hoseok,
he would do whatever it took to make sure,
he came through this safe and sound.

...you're awake...

Hoseok woke up to the strong smell of mint and a faint mixture of pinewood surrounding him. Though he was still in pain, his discomfort after reduced, thanks to the strong comforting scent surrounding him.

He tried sitting up, only to fall back down when his lower Abdomen began to hurt again. A painful groan left his lips as he rolled over, some of the clothes scattered on the bed falling to the floor.

Hoseok's groan echoed softly in the quiet room, the pain in his abdomen intensifying with every attempt to move. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to breathe through the discomfort, but it was almost unbearable. The scent of mint and pinewood wrapped around him like a soothing blanket, offering some relief, but it wasn’t enough to completely drown out the throbbing ache that spread through his body.

His hand instinctively reached out, grasping at the soft fabric surrounding him. As his fingers brushed over one of Yoongi’s shirts, still warm with his scent, Hoseok felt a wave of calm wash over him. He pulled the shirt closer, burying his face in it as he curled up on the bed, trying to find some semblance of comfort amidst the pain.

"You're awake," a deep voice murmured from beside him, causing Hoseok to flinch slightly. He hadn’t noticed the alpha walk in, his presence so silent and steady it almost blended into the background.

Hoseok forced his eyes open, blinking up at Yoongi, who was watching him with a mixture of concern and something else—something softer, almost protective. He tried to speak, but his throat was dry, and all that came out was a weak croak.

"Don’t try to talk," Yoongi said gently, leaning forward to offer him a glass of water from the nightstand. "Drink this first."

Hoseok hesitated for a moment before slowly reaching out to take the glass. His hands trembled as he brought it to his lips, but Yoongi was quick to steady him, his hand resting over Hoseok’s to help guide the glass.

The cool water soothed his parched throat, and Hoseok took small sips, grateful for the relief. When he finished, Yoongi set the glass aside and pulled the duvet up over him, tucking him in carefully.

"How do you feel?" Yoongi asked, his voice low, almost a whisper.

"Not good," Hoseok answered honestly, his voice strained. "It still hurts... so much."

This earned a light chuckle from Yoongi as he sat on the bed, next to the omega. Yeah, it's gonna hurt a lot. It's your heat doing it's thing."

"Heat? So I'm going to die?" Hoseok asked his tone slightly alarmed.

Yoongi’s head snapped towards him with a frown. "Who fetched you those lies?!"

"Your mum?" Hoseok answered, pressing his head further into the pillow.

Yoongi signed, rolling his eyes. "I see you have no idea what heat is about... but you're not going to die tho... as long as you're taken well care of."

Hoseok hummed, his eyes fluttering close for a minute before they snapped open, finally realizing the alpha was in his room. Yoongi never came into his room.

"Why are you here?!" He enquired, almost in a panic. "You're an alpha, you shouldn't be here!"

Yoongi held back a scoff as he spoke. "You're talking like I'm not the one keeping you calm. If I wasn't at home, it would have been a lot worse.

Hoseok frowned, his lips pursed into an unconscious pout. "W- what do you mean?"

"Look around you, what do you see?"

It was then Hoseok realized the clothes scattered on the bed weren't his. Even the duvet, bed cover and pillow weren't his, for the darker shaded patterns on them weren't his taste. Now he understood why he was drenched completely in the alpha's scent.

"W- why..." He paused, his face flustered and confused at the same time, raising his gaze to meet the alpha who was already smirking at him, his arms crossed over his chest. "Why are your things here?!"

Yoongi's smirk grew wider as he leaned closer to the already withdrawing omega. "Well, my pheromones seems to be the only thing that seems to calm you down." He stopped talking, watching the omega's face go even redder. "Aren't you getting a little attached then? If I could remember, you hated me a lot and never trusted me." He continued, his tone teasing.

Hoseok sputtered, frustrated at the fact that he couldn't find the correct thing to say. "Ge- get out!" Was all he could yell," face completely red and flustered.

Yoongi's brow raised as he leaned even closer, practically on top of him at the moment, his teasing smile still plastered on his face. "Are you sure about that? Your second heat wave will be here soon and we don't know how many more is to come. Will you be able to handle all those without me?" He asked, emphasising solely on the last two words. "Don't forget, you might die if you're not well taken care of."

Hoseok shivered, hearing he would still have to go through that much pain some more times. "I- I want your mum, not you."

Yoongi watched him for a while before letting out a soft laugh as he leaned away from the omega. "Too bad, the person you want was the same person that insisted I be with you all through. Besides she's also an omega like you, she wouldn't be able to do much Besides console you and try to warm you up with whatever material she has. "He completed, standing up to turn open the window blind. It was already night. "See, you slept all day, comfortably engulfed in my scent. It's dark outside already." He chuckled admist words, closing the window blind back, before approaching the omega.

Hoseok sunk deeper into the bed, covering himself completely the alpha's duvet. Was he embarrassed? A very big yes. Now that he was in his sane mind, he could remember all that had happened earlier that day. How he had become so clingy to the alpha like he was his only source of life, how Yoongi had become so protective when the other alphas attempted to step closer.

His heart warmed at the fact that the alpha was caring so much for him, even when he denied him.
