Taming the Untamable

Part 2

(^Taek's outfit for the party)

Wonsik arrives at his apartment, which wasn't really much, to get ready for work. Since he refused to conform to his parents will, he moved out and because he moved out, his parents cut him off. His family is considerably rich because his father is the owner of this huge company, which he was supposed to inherit once his father stepped down, but as you know, Wonsik wants none of that. He has lived alone for almost 3 years now, and he even got himself a decent work that pays enough for food, rent, and occasionally a night out. Wonsik works wherever he can when he can around town; he does difficult or strenuous jobs that humans would normally struggle with. He never complain about working because he knows he needs the money to get by. Almost every day Wonsik would head out at 10 o'clock to look for jobs to do until 7 o'clock at the latest; it's the only routine-like thing he is comfortable with doing in his life. The hours pass, and Wonsik doesn't find much work today; he manages to make $120. It’s not that bad, but he has made more in a day before. Now one may wonder how he gets all of these people lusting after him and how he is able to go out when his pay isn't consistent; it is all with his Alpha charm. Most of the males and females that come at him are human and older than him, but he attracts mostly older women. When it comes to the older ones, they somewhat pamper him since they are the ones who want Wonsik the most, he could care less who he is with as long as they are clean; that’s his trick. To everyone else, he seems like this hot-shot Alpha who gets everyone and anything he wants, but that is completely not the case. Now that he is back home, he showers, and then heads to his best friend, Hongbin's house. He had called earlier that morning to see if we was available to hang out, and he agreed and said he would call their other friends as well. Wonsik doesn't have a car: 1) because he doesn't need one, and 2) because he can’t afford one, so he walks to his friends home that is about 2 miles from his place. Don’t worry, 2 mines is nothing for a wolf.
“Hey, it took you long enough to get here; its almost 8 o'clock,” Hongbin says to his friend upon his arrival.
“Sorry, I wanted to enjoy the walk over here,” Wonsik says with obvious sarcasm. Hongbin's home wasn't that big, but it's big enough for his family; Hongbin still lives with his parents since he was still unmated, which is another thing Wonsik hated about living in a pack and following tradition. A wolf is to stay with their family until they find a mate and start a family of their own; it's so restricting to Wonsik.
“I doubt you heard anything I said,” Hongbin said breaking Wonsik from his thoughts. “I asked if you wanted anything to drink?”
“Oh, do you got any beer?”
“Let me check. You can go ahead to the living room, Taemin and Minho are already in there.”
“Why am I not surprised.” Wonsik goes to the living room and finds the couple at one end of the sectional; Taemin was lounging in Minho's lap as his Alpha wrapped his arms around his waist.
“Wonsik!” Taemin says excitedly once the Alpha enters the room, and he gets up to hug him. Wonsik smiles and hugs his friend, but then he hears Minho clear his throat.
“Oh stop it, you know Wonsik is not a threat; he is like a brother to me.” Taemin shakes his head and detaches himself from Wonsik.
“Is he still jealous of me?” Wonsik asks as he follows Taemin to sit on the couch.
“I am not jealous,” Minho scoffs.
“Like hell you are, you almost didn’t let me come here once I mentioned Wonsik,” Taemin argues back. Wonsik shakes his head smiling.
“Hey, where is Jongin? We haven't seen him in months.”
“Yea, he said he couldn't make it again, but he said he would video call,” Hongbin says as he hands Wonsik his beer, then his phone starts buzzing on the table with Jongin's picture. “Speaking of such.” Hongbin gets his phone and squeezes into the space between Wonsik and Taemin then answers the call.
“I was just asking about you,” Wonsik says once Jongin appears.
“Oh, really, I can say the same thing,” Jongin laughs.
“Yea, Sik just got here, so it great that you called now rather than earlier like I thought you would,” Hongbin says next.
“Hm, yea, I was napping earlier, so that wouldn't have been possible.”
“Typical Jongin,” Taemin says as he takes the phone from Hongbin. “How come you haven't contacted me? You've had me worried even when your friend say you are fine; I feel like you have been avoiding me.”
“Yea, Tae is right, where have you been?” Wonsik ask tilting the phone so that Jongin can see him.
“Yea, I've been meaning to call you guys, but I've been busy,” Jongin sort of growls as he glares at something off camera. There is faint “What?” heard in the background before Jongin snaps.
“Don't fucking ‘what' me; it's your fault that I haven't seen my friends and brother! They probably thought I was dead!”
“I am only trying to keep you two safe,” the person off camera says and the 4 exchange looks.
“I am pregnant not endangers, Soo, I should be able to see my friends when I want! Geez, you can be so unbearable sometimes.”
“I can say the same,” the other says and Jongin's face turns red, and he would have gotten up if it weren’t for his friends' collective shout of ‘what?’
“Oh yea, that is the other reason I wanted to talk to you guys,” Jongin fiddles with the camera a bit before standing back; once far enough he lifts his shirt to show his slightly round stomach. Taemin screeches, and Hongbin congratulates him, but Wonsik just stares. “What's with that face, Wonsik?” Everyone turns to Wonsik who's eyes widen at the sudden attention.
“O-oh, it’s nothing,” Wonsik says nervously.
“You stuttered, it's definitely something,” Hongbin says crossing his arms. Darn Hongbin for being my childhood friend, Wonsik thinks before sighing.
“Well, I am happy for you, I guess, but, I...I just don't see what's so great about it. It's just another restriction on your life, and now you won't be able to do what you want with a kid running around, you know, like your dancing. Now, I love kids, but I think they are too much to deal with.” Everything is silent for a bit until Jongin comes back to the camera.
“I understand, Wonsik, I used to have the same thoughts, and I know how you feel about your freedom. I was in no way ready to be a parent when I first found out, but once it sunk in and I talked to Kyungsoo about it, I realized how excited I was. It’s not all that bad, especially when you have someone by your side through it...right, Soo?” The person in question pops up from the top of the camera before coming around to hug Jongin from behind.
“Yea, It's the best thing I could ever ask for, and I am filled with so much pride to be the first in my pack to be having pups. Junmyeon was so jealous when he found out our youngest Omega was pregnant.” Kyungsoo smirks as he nuzzles Jongin's hair. Wonsik internally cringes.
“Yes, he was, now get off of me, you are making me hot.” Jongin shrugs Kyungsoo off, making the Alpha pout. “Well, I am starting to get tired again, guys, but before I go I want to let you know Yixing-hyung's friends Himchan is have a party later tonight. It won’t be anything too rowdy, so I have heard, and I will be going over there to see some of my other friends who will be there. If you guys decide to go, it starts at 11:30; I will see you there, but I won't stay for long since Satan over here wants to be an asshole.”
“At least I am letting you leave the house after almost 3 months,” Kyungsoo defends.
“Yea, thanks,” Jongin deadpans.
“Gosh, you are starting to sound like Taemin,” Minho suddenly say grabbing everyone's attention.
“And what is that supposed to mean, Mr. Choi?” Minho stiffens at Jongin's tone and regrets he had said anything.
“Alright, little bro, I think it is time for you to take a second nap.”
“Third,” Kyungsoo corrects, and that earns him another glare. Taemin just shakes his head.
“We will see you later, Jonginnie, and don’t let Soo boss you around,” Taemin winks at his brother and the latter smiles.
“Take care, we will see you later.”
“Yea, see you later.”
“Bye guys.” Jongin waves at them before ending the call.
“Well,” Hongbin starts, pocketing his phone, “I guess we are heading to a party tonight.
“I guess,” Wonsik says opening his beer and taking a swig. “Do we know where it is though?”
“It will most likely be at Yongguk's house since he and Himchan are really close,” Taemin says, before  smiling. “I can't believe I am gonna be an uncle.” Wonsik just shakes his head at Taemin's excitement.
“When is it my turn to get pups,” Minho suddenly asks Taemin.
“When I feel you can have some, and right now isn’t the time.” There was so much sass in Taemin's response that Wonsik couldn't help but laugh out loud then laugh more at Minho's reaction; Hongbin laughed a bit too.
