"I can't breathe." Wooyoung whimpered again as he felt arms wrapping around him. He was pretty sure it was San, which he found strange because they hadn't said two words to one another besides the beta telling them to go in the basement.

But it was some form of comfort at least...

Everything was closing in on him. And Wynter's crying hurt his head but was distant at the same time.

He wanted out. He needed out.

He was suffocating.

Why wasn't Seonghwa doing anything? Wasn't the alpha supposed to be helping him right now? Maybe he didn't really care... The thought added to his anxiety, thinking he had failed the alpha...

"No! My stuffie!" One of the boys yelled.

"Knock it off." Yunho snapped, his voice shaking a little. "You each picked out the one to bring down, we need to try and stay calm."

"Yeah, that's working out great." Seonghwa snarled. "Would you get away from MY omega?!"

Wooyoung flinched and heard San snarl. For a small beta, he had some power behind it. "Stay back I said!"

Wynter's wailing got even louder and Wooyoung wanted to comfort her, but he was having such a hard time focusing as the walls seemed to close in on him.

Then the worst thing imaginable could have happened.

The two boys started arguing more and more and Wooyoung watched as one of the stuffed animals flew through the air and landed on the light switch for the room, plunging it into darkness.

So many things happened at once.

Wynter screamed. Wooyoung felt his stomach plummet and a chill ran through him. Seonghwa snarled. Wynter was taken from his arms. The other kids started to cry. Yunho was trying to get them to be quiet.

Hands touched Wooyoung's arms and he cried out, pushing them away. "N-No... Please I want out! Please let me out!" He started slapping the wall next to him with one hand while fisting and pulling at his hair with the other. "I'm sorry I messed up..."

Tears ran down his cheeks as he heard his father's voice.

You are a disgrace! How can you call yourself my son? You worthless piece of filth. You better hope you will be a better omega to your alpha and raise his pups right. GET OUT!

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Wooyoung said over and over again.

"Wooyoung!"

"Don't touch him!"

"Get off me!"

"You bastard!"

Wooyoung couldn't even register who was talking anymore as he felt himself slipping away. Where was he? Where was Wynter? "S-S-S..."

Someone started pounding on the door and there was more shuffling happening.

"M-Move! Let me through!" Another voice said.
Wooyoung whimpered as he curled in on himself.

"Please let me out... I'm sorry... I won't fail you again..."

Light filled the room and more shouting came from new voices. Kids were still crying.

Where was his baby?

Wooyoung tried to reach out for her but his hand met a wall and he whimpered again as his vision blurred.

Then a powerful alpha presence hovered over him and Wooyoung pressed himself into the floor as a wave of fresh air blew over him.

"Ok, everyone calm down now. Mingi get him out of here and take the kids with you. San, what the hell happened?"
