Horizon | ATEEZ - Omegaverse

Chapter Four

"Go on, Yeosang. You're required to go, you know. I talked with Wooyoung's mother Soomin and you're allowed to stay over after the meeting," Yeosang's mother says, sitting down with her son.

Yeosang has a nervous look on his face when he looks at his mother, Eunmi, "I'm just scared, mom..."

"I know, honey, but everything will go well. I'm sure of it. Your father and I were matched the exact same way," She gives a reassuring smile and Yeosang knows she's right.

Yeosang knows how successful the matching process was for his parents, he's heard their story a thousand times, but he can't help but feel so afraid. He knows he won't like any of his potential alpha mates as much as the person he already likes... There's no way.

Eventually, Yeosang musters up the courage and nods, standing up, "If Wooyoung is brave enough, then I am too."

Eunmi stands and gives her son a loving embrace, "It's going to be okay, Sang... Wooyoung is going to get mated too, you don't want to leave him alone there, right?"

Yeosang hugs his mother back, shaking his head, "Right..."

He takes a deep breath before leaving his home and making his way towards the building where the omega meetings are held. Once he enters, his eyes instantly go searching for his best friend. This is the year when all omegas born in '99 get their forever mate, and that means it's Yeosang and Wooyoung's year according to the Riverside pack rules.

Wooyoung turns his head at the door opening and a sweet vanilla scent wafts into the room, a big smile spreading across his face when he sees it's Yeosang, "Yeosang, over here!" His voice has a tone of excitement as he calls for him.

Yeosang smiles happily and goes over to Wooyoung, hugging him tightly and taking in his intoxicating jasmine scent. Physical contact such as this is extremely common for Riverside, as all of the pack members are usually quite close.

"I was starting to think you wouldn't show up," Wooyoung chuckles as the release from their embrace, sitting down beside each other at the table with the other omegas their age.

Yeosang rubs the back of his head nervously, "Me too..." He tries to laugh, but it just comes out awkward.

Wooyoung smiles as Yeosang's shyness, "Everything is going to be okay, Yeosangie~! You know all of the alphas in Riverside are kind... Well, for the most part," He tries reassuring Yeosang just as his mother tried, ruffling his fluffy light brown hair.

Yeosang can feel the tips of his ears turning red at the nickname, he's always loved when Wooyoung would call him it. He has ever since they were children.

"I know, I know... It's still scary, you know," Yeosang playfully pushes Wooyoung, "Who knows who we're going to get. Isn't the uncertainty scary?"

Wooyoung smiles at Yeosang's playfulness, but shakes his head, "I don't think it's scary, I think it's kind of thrilling, actually."
