Taming the Untamable

Part 4

It turns out that it was still early morning, but Wonsik wasn't feeling up to working today, so he just went straight home. It takes him hours, because he was too lazy to change into his wolf form to find his way back to town quicker and get back home. As soon as he gets in, Wonsik flops down onto his bed with a huge sigh; he pulls out his phone, and sees that it is dead. Sighing again, Wonsik plugs it up to charge before turning it on; once on, his phone begins to buzz and beep nonstop. Most of the messages and calls were from his friends, and they were asking where he was. Wonsik sighed one more time feeling suddenly really tired; he puts his phone down and decides to go back to sleep. He could just call them back later.

The large group traveled back home slowly for Taekwoon's sake; the Omega was still extremely tired and sore from his heat, and he was still in a depressed mood. They tried talking to him to lighten his mood, but it didn't work; not even talking about food helped. All he wanted to do was go home and sleep and hopefully wake up with this all being a dream. When they got home, his friend's hugged him, and they even managed to make him smile a bit before they left. Taekwoon took a shower, making sure to be careful with the new mark on his neck, then crawled into his bed in his wolf form. A soft knock comes to the door, and Taekwoon peeks his head from under the covers with his eyes glistening; it was Sanghyuk and Hakyeon coming to check on him. Hakyeon coos at his brother as he and Sanghyuk get into the bed with him, Hakyeon on the right and Sanghyuk on the left. They both change into their wolf form as well so they can comfort him better as they lay.
“Don’t worry, hyung, we are going to make this right. Either we talk some sense into him and he Alphas up and takes responsibility, or we are just gonna have to kill him.” Taekwoon doesn't like the idea of the Alpha in question dying, but he knows how his siblings get when it comes to him; he just hopes it doesn't have to come to murder. Yawning, Taekwoon snuggles closer to his brothers and closes his eyes; the whole day has been tiring, and all the crying has left him drained—not to mention the headache he is having. Taekwoon decides to just sleep until it's dinner time.

Wonsik had just gotten back home from a long hard day of work; without even taking a shower, he just flops down onto his bed with the intention of going to sleep. Not even a few minutes of laying down, the room begins to feel hot and the smell of smoke and something burning catches his nose. His eyes shoot open, and his entire apartment is on fire. Panicked, Wonsik hurries to escape the room, not even bother to take anything with him. When he gets out of the building, he turns to watch as it burns. He looks around to see that no one else is around, just him on the empty sidewalk. When he looks back to the building, it is nothing but the scorched remains of what used to be a building.
“Hey,” a voice suddenly says, causing Wonsik to jolt and turn around; when he sees who it is, he glared. It was his father.
“What do you want?” His father just chuckles and motions him along. Wonsik rolls his eyes before following him. By the time he reaches his father's side, they were no longer in the city, but rather in the forest, and he is now wearing a loose, light blue flannel and ripped jeans. He was surprised, but much more surprised to see that his father's black hair was now streaked with grey and he looked much more worn out than he did just a few seconds ago. Wonsik's father notices his son looking at him, and he smiles.
“It took you long enough,” his father says, and before Wonsik can ask him what he means, Wonsik smells a familiar sweet scent along with two others. They keep walking, the scents getting stronger, until they reach the edge of the trees and the opening of a clearing. Towards the middle of the clearing, there is someone sitting on a large blanket with their back facing him, they were watching as two pups played and rolled around in the grass with each other. Wonsik was confused, so he looked back to his father; his father just smiled again before giving him a hard shove forward. Wonsik was sent tumbling into the green grass.
“What the hell was that for?” Wonsik growls as he sits up to glare at his father, but he wasn’t there anymore. He looked around for him, but was suddenly attacked by two small bodies.
“Daddy,” one of the children, a little girl yells as she hugs him. Wonsik looks at her a bit confused before hugging her back.
“Dad, dad, look what Mama made for us,” a little boy then yells next as he holds out his, wrist which has a flower bracelet on it, and the little girl shows a similar one on her wrist.
“That's cool, buddy,” Wonsik says, and the children run back over to the blanket where the other person is. Wonsik just stares as they talk to the person sitting on the blanket.
“Come on, dad,” the little boy yells waving him over, and Wonsik slowly gets up to make his way over to them. Wonsik could tell that the familiar scent was coming from the other person sitting on the blanket, but he still didn't know who it was. Once he reached the blanket he sees that the kids were now playing with small toys and the person was reading a book with one hand resting on their slightly rounded stomach. They must have noticed Wonsik was there because they turn to look at him. To say Wonsik was surprised was the understatement of the year, it was the guy he has had slept with from the party. He looked equally surprised to see Wonsik, but then he smiled—it was the most beautiful thing Wonsik had ever seen. The guy's face suddenly changes to a look of sadness, but before he can ask what is wrong, he falls.
Wonsik suddenly hits the floor with a hard thud, and he groans in pain. He sits up and grips his head; his whole body hurt from the fall, but his head was throbbing. To make things worse, someone starts banging on his door; groaning again, Wonsik gets up to answer it and is met with a frantic Hongbin.
“Holy shit, I thought you were dead,” Hongbin almost cried as he hugs his friend tightly.
“And why would I be dead?” Hongbin looks both ways down the hall then pushes him and Wonsik back into the apartment.
“After you disappeared from the party, the guy Yongguk and his boyfriend shut the party down and said they were on the lookout for you then some other Alphas showed up. They said something about you kidnapping their brother and that they would kill you. When I left I tried calling you, but you didn't answer; I have been coming here and calling you for 3 days; I thought they got to you.” Hongbin was out of breath from all the explanations, and Wonsik just looked at him.
“I didn't kidnap anyone, he came with me willingly; plus, he was actually the one begging for me to fuck him. And what do you mean 3 days, the guy said he was in heat for 5?”
“What? The guy was in heat? Did you claim him?”
“Uh, I think he said I did, but I don’t remember; it doesn't matter anyway, if I did, I can just break the bond by staying away from him for a month.” Hongbin looks at him with shock before he starts sniffing at his friends. “Hey, what the fuck?” Hongbin stops at Wonsik's right shoulder before pulling down his shirt collar.
“I knew you smelled a bit different. You've got yourself in some deep shit, dude.”
“What? Why?”
“Well, he also claimed you which makes the bond like 10 times stronger.”
“I don’t get your point.” Hongbin rolls his eyes at his friend.
“It means, dipshit, that the bond is practically impossible to break unless you are okay with excruciating pain, or possible death, within the next 6 months.”
“Well, I think I can tolerate pain quite well, so I'll be fine.” Wonsik shrugs and plops down onto his bed, and Hongbin looks at his friend in shock.
“Did you not just...”Hongbin sighs in frustration. “Then what about the guy you claimed?”
“That's not my problem; he can probably deal with the pain as well and move on. I already told him I didn't want any type of serious relationship.” Hongbin just looks at him incredulously.
“Wow, I can’t believe you. I never took you as such a heartless person. I doubt you even asked him how he felt about what happened.”
“It's like I said, it’s not my problem.” Wonsik lays back against his bed and puts his hands behind his head.
“You know what, I think I am done. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I hope they do find you." That’s the last thing Hongbin says before he leaves Wonsik's apartment. Wonsik just sits in silence as he thinks about what Hongbin said. “Who is he to tell me what type of person I am. If you asked me that guy shouldn't have come to the party if he knew he was going to go into heat, then he wouldn't have smelled so good and we wouldn't be in this mess,” Wonsik thinks and he nods to himself. “I’m in the mood for pizza tonight.”
