Vexing Mister Kwon

A New Turn Of Events

  Jihoon knocks softly on the door and then peeks inside, the room was darker than he expected at this time of the day, the blue curtains were all down over the windows and even the curtains over the side of the bed were let down giving the room an even gloomier aura. Jihoon could not see his brother yet but he could see a moving lump on the bed that was getting clearer the more he walked in, the scent that hit him was strong, really strong that made Jihoon stop and take a step back for a minute before shaking his head and keep going. The only presentation he has actually seen fully as an omega with his full senses intact was Wonwoo. It was fine since he was an omega too but both Yoongi and Seungcheol presented early on. He was not allowed to even step a foot in that wing for days. Hence, he never knew how it was for alphas, gone was the milky soft scent of his baby brother, and the whole room smelled like a hurricane just hit over the side of the beach, it was not an unpleasant scent, it was actually a nice one, Jihoon expects once his brother is better for it to smell like a warm beach, comforting yet scary when it needs to be. He just did not expect it to change like this, maybe his mind has never put at the front of it seeing his younger siblings grow up into adults.

  Peeking over the side of the room Jihoon could see the mess of black hair over the bed but his face was hidden under the covers, he slowly pulls the curtain closest to him and ties it to its post so he could sit at the side of the bed comfortably, he could feel his brother tensing at his presence but Jihoon did not care, he just sat there and started letting his hand go through the other's hair in slow motions giving him time to acknowledge his presence whenever he was ready for it. It takes a while but then Jihoon could start feeling him relax slowly, peeking out of the covers at his older brother and Jihoon smiles, it did not matter that Seokmin presented or that he was no longer a baby, he will always be one of his babies no matter what, he will still be his younger brother even if he is now an adult, it will be hard not associating him anymore with the kids but Jihoon knew that this was inevitable, he could not keep him sheltered forever.

  Seokmin watches him for a few seconds as Jihoon lets his comforting scent fill the room to reassure the other that it was okay, that everything was okay and everything will always be okay. That did the trick as his brows scrunched and the stream of tears started. "Hyung I am sorry..."

  Jihoon almost did not hear him as his voice was muffled through the covers and he lets his head fall to the side in confusion. "What are you talking about Minnie why would you be sorry?"

  Seokmin only looks away and hides his face again. "I disappointed you have I not? I probably disappointed everyone as well."

  Jihoon only gets even further confused by that response. "I... Why would I even be disappointed with you?"

  "Because I am not an omega like you all wanted me to be because I am like.... this." Jihoon's eyes widen as he finally starts to understand what the other was referring to, did Seokmin think they all wanted him to be an omega all this time? And was he pretending to be one just to appease them? Because he thought that was what they wanted? "I tried hyung, I swear I tried to be what you wanted me to be but I could not help it, I even held it off for as long as I could, I knew it was coming but I wanted you all to be happy for the longest time with me, I am so sorry for not meeting your expectations."

  Jihoon blinks and blinks at his brother in disbelief, horror starting to coat his veins... Where did they all go wrong for his brother to think like this? Not just Jihoon but he thought every single person in the family was thinking the same? And did they really all turn a blind eye to almost everything Seokmin did that they did not notice the signs and all that he was going through? How could this go on for so long under their feet and not a soul managed to realize what was going on for so long? 

  "Minnie...no..." Jihoon starts tongue feeling so heavy in his mouth, Too many questions kept swimming around in his head and he could not even figure out where to start with this situation or what to even do or ask. Usually, he was so quick on his feet to know what to say and do, it was rare for some moment that he feels lost, it has been happening lately more than he even thought it was possible. A recurring event that he should actually think about its repercussions. He knew his grasp over his authority and his made-up personality was faltering the more time passed, it was crumbling brick by brick each day to unknown territories. He knew he was losing control and yet he was still fighting to hold on the best he could to whatever was left and whatever would be after everything would fall apart in his life because if he did not who was going to try to fix everything their big family go through? His siblings are not strong enough to fight for more than themselves, they will hardly work their own problems alone let alone to care for each other and help each other. It was what his father always told him before he passed, they had to learn to rely on each other, Jihoon always found it hard to do but his siblings were not faring any better than him. Bad habits run in the family after all.
