Will You Catch Me When I Fall? || Minsung

35

A/N: I want to make this clear here in case it's not caught in the chapter, but family members aren't affected by each other's ruts/heats cuz otherwize that would be kinda weird-

They can still smell differences and tell if someone's on their heat/rut, but it just won't affect them.

Anyone not blood-related or not marked to a relative (e.g Seojun has the risk of being affected until he is marked and marks Heesoo too) can be affected. 

TW: Small mention of SH

Recap

[Minho panicked, looking to the others for help as Jisung trembled uncontrollably in his arms. He grimaced as the omega's scent suddenly got a sickly sweet, having to turn away so he wouldn't choke on it.

The smell got to his head, a sharp spike of desire poking at his instincts.

Is he...

Felix's gasp confirmed his thoughts.

"Heesoo hyung... You need to take him home. Now."

"He's on his heat."]

There were sharp intakes of breath and Heesoo scrambled up with Seojun who was muttering strings of curses worriedly.

"Get the alphas away!" Heesoo hissed, all his pain seemed to have been ignored as he went and scooped up his little brother in his arms. Being a member of family, he was the only one without the risk of his rut being triggered. Until he and Seojun marked each other, Seojun could be affected by Jisung's heats too. 

Felix and Heesoo quickly exchanged some words before the alpha went to kiss his boyfriend and then left with Jisung.

An uncomfortable silence enveloped the room until a sob rang out. Seungmin was trembling violently in Hyunjin's arms. The sight of Seungmin crying just always seemed so... heartbreaking. Everyone preferred him with a smile so much more.

"She felt more like a parent than mine did sometimes."  He choked out. "And I can't even imagine how Jisung's feeling right now."

Minho stiffened, worry fluttering in his chest as he reminisced how grief-stricken the omega had looked before the triggering of his heat had knocked him out. 

Felix's eyes were wide and filled with pure terror. 

"He's not gonna be okay. Losing his father broke him, shattered him into unrepairable pieces." He whispered, tears streaming down his freckled face as realization set in.

"Losing his mother is going to kill him."

When Jisung opened his eyes he couldn't tell if he was alive.

He felt dead.

His body felt heavy, but at the same time, he felt nothing.
