Claimed

Chapter 27

'Urghh...' Opening his eyes, Mingyu threw the pillow away and rubbed his eyes with his right hand, his head hurt from over-thinking. Why did this have to happen to him? He was still a student who had loads to learn, why did something this complicated had to be thrown on top of all those things. How the hell should he learn when he couldn't get enough sleep to concentrate in class, and enough focus to revise back in his room?

He really feel like hitting something right now. Anything would be great. If he can just break a glass or two, kick the desk to pieces, he might feel better. Sighing, he got up, opened the fridge and drank straight from the water bottle. Mingyu decided to sit on the colder floor, just because he wanted to cool down. He really needed to see his therapist or he would start hurting himself again. A few minutes passed with him just closing his eyes, leaning against the fridge and focusing on the soft vibration of the machine, the sound so close to a purr it helped calm him. Releasing a long breath, Mingyu got up and moved to his desk to stare at the sky. His head was in a mess he needed an escape.

...Fuck. This was almost impossible. The memory of them hiking suddenly popped up in his head - Wonwoo offering him that piece of bread, the blue sky above him, looking like an angel. 'Dammit!!!'

Hitting his fists on the desk, Mingyu bumped his head a few times before grabbing a fistful of hair. Now he remembered how scared the omega was when he followed him to the woods, how he was taking steady steps backwards, ready to run with every step Mingyu took towards him minutes before he asked to tag along. Wonwoo was already claimed back then! He was claimed a year ago.

'I'm bonded with someone. I didn't know who... I do now.'

'They hurt me. It hurt so bad... I don't want them... please...'

'It's okay if it's you... Mingyu. I want it to be you...'

'I hate alphas. You're okay.'

'You're okay.'

'Shut up. Shut up!! FUCK!!!' Realizing he was screaming to no one, Mingyu grabbed his bag and took out something he never thought he would have to take again - antidepressants. He really didn't want to, but he was desperate. Too desperate. He felt like running amok right now. Settling with half a pill, Mingyu closed his eyes and rest his forehead on the desk, taking slow, rhythmic breath to aide the effect.

One year ago...

He was drugged and blacked out a year ago...

But he didn't bond with anyone. Kris assured him nothing happened. His family didn't notice anything different with him accept for the random aggression which they thought were caused by him trying to adapt to his new life. He would already be killed by his grandmother if he mated without her approval.

Mingyu let out a soft laugh. He knew what this was. What he had thought earlier during Wonwoo's heat - the pack's amateur plan to extort money from him. They were probably planning to threat him later with police reports to blackmail him. Which was stupid it was almost funny. The only ones accusing him with marking Wonwoo was his friends, without any proof nonetheless. They even gave him a stupid excuse as to why Mingyu didn't carry Wonwoo's scent with him. It was like a very bad high school play, filling loopholes with stupid explanations. So, so stupid Mingyu's stomach almost hurt from laughing. To think that he fell into it like a fool...

Shit. This was so funny he couldn't breath. He needed to relax. Taking deep breath, coughing harshly from trying to force himself to shut his mouth, Mingyu finally laid silent on the floor, his cheeks wet from tears. So funny...
