To The Dazzling You

Chapter 14

Soothing lavender flowed through his system as Sunghoon inhaled a deep breath. He was gradually waking up but took his sweet time with it as he enjoyed the scent surrounding him so much. Next, he felt a warm body between his arms, legs entangled with his, and a soft breath on his neck where the person's head was pressed to him.

Slowly, he opened his eyes, blinking against the light that was coming in from the glass front even though his bed was in the darkest corner of the room.

He leaned back carefully and looked down, taking in the pretty boy in his arms.

Sunoo's hair was a little tousled, his eyes closed and his eyelashes resting on his cheeks peacefully. His eyelashes were so long and soft looking, Sunghoon felt the urge to touch them just to see how feather light they really were. His soft lips were opened slightly, letting out small puffs of air in a frequent routine. Sunghoon admired him silently, careful not to move and wake him up. His own mind was still in a haze, not fully awake yet, no scary thoughts invading this blissful moment.

Sunoo took a particularly deep breath and Sunghoon's heart squeezed in delight, the omega was so cute.

The alpha pulled back his arm that had been loosely lying around the omega's waist, and pushed some strands of his dark hair out of his forehead. His touch must have been a little too rough, as Sunoo squeezed his eyes in annoyance and scrunched his nose.

Sunghoon immediately halted and held his breath, afraid he might have woken the younger from his slumber.

But Sunoo relaxed again and shuffled closer to Sunghoon. A smile made his way on the alpha's lips and he put back his arm around his waist and stroked his back carefully.

He could have stayed in this moment forever.

But the forever was shortened to about 10 more minutes as Sunoo started to fidget in his arms.

Sunghoon leaned back, giving him space to wiggle around. Then the omega suddenly stopped and let out a big yawn, fluttering his eyes open in the process.

His pretty eyes focused on Sunghoon's face and he blinked in surprise.

And that was all it took for the panic to settle in and for Sunghoon's mind to run wild. Had he overstepped some boundaries? Had he misunderstood last night's events? Had he forced himself on the omega?

Sunghoon was about to pull back when a shy smile appeared on Sunoo's lips and he suddenly giggled bashfully.

"Good morning, Sunghoonie."

The omega's voice sounded like he was purring, his vocal cords still not fully awoken from the sleep.

"Good morning, pretty," Sunghoon breathed, surprising himself and the younger with the nickname. Sunoo looked startled.

"Oh God, I'm sorry, Sunoo, I-"

"Shush!"

Sunoo perked up, his smile deepening and a faint blush appearing on his cheeks as he pressed a finger to Sunghoon's lips to shut him up.

"I love the nickname, Hoonie. Please call me that all you want."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes! I am. Why are you doubting me?"

Sunghoon quickly took his hand and intertwined their fingers.
"It's not that I'm doubting you. It's just... I'm afraid to push myself on you and make you do something that you don't want..."

Sunoo's eyes softened and he pulled Sunghoon's hand up to snuggle the side of his face into his palm.

"I know how this world works, but I am me and you are you. And I am an omega who can take care of myself and defend myself if I need to. And you are an alpha who is so respectful and careful that I doubt you could hurt anybody."
