This story is third in my KongArt Omega verse. Sequel to Reaching Serenity and Seducing Alpha, this follows the life of Alpha Kongpob and his mated Omega Arthit. Lately, Kongpob's Phii has been all over the place: sometimes horny, sometimes cold, so...
"Shhh..okay. Okay. You are okay," Kongpob said as he gently rubbed Arthit's back, who was currently emptying the contents of his stomach into the toilet. A few minutes later, Kongpob held Arthit by the waist and made him sit comfortably on the bed.
"Phii, are you feeling better now?" Arthit smiled lazily and nodded. He was indeed feeling better, not the best. He was exhausted and he had a bad headache but he still smiled to assure his mate. Kongpob pulled a thick blanket around Arthit and then placed a soft kiss on the older man's forehead. The Alpha met his Omega's eyes and said, "Please tell me if you are in any pain, oaky?" Arthit only nodded, as his eyes drooped because of the tiredness.
Kongpob handed Arthit his phone, "Phii, why don't you call in sick while I shower? Then we can have breakfast and you can take rest." The Alpha left and when he came back Arthit was still in the same position, skimming through some papers while wearing his reading glasses.
"Phii, are you still feeling nauseous?" Kongpob sat on the bed as he leaned in to touch Arthit's forehead as Arthit involuntarily closed his eyes in a sigh.
He looked at the Alpha and smiled, "I'm feeling much better Kong. I asked P'Earth and she said it would be okay if I reached the office after lunch as the presentation is at 3:00 pm."
"Phii.."
"I'm really good Kong. Don't worry. I will just be there for the presentation and then I'll come home. Okay? I promise."
"Phii maybe we just leave a message for DR. K. Or just call Dr.Daow and see what she says..I mean, you don't have a fever or anything, but still as precaution.."
Arthit held Kongpob's face in his hands softly, "Kong, I'm okay. I just threw-up. It's just a one-time thing, okay. I'm absolutely fine."
"Are you sure Phii?" Arthit nodded.
Kongpob nodded, "Umm..I'm going to make some light mung-bean porridge. Think you can stomach that?"

(AN: That's lovely Maangchi's porridge picture. We have exactly the same dish in India.)
When Arthit nodded, the Alpha smiled. "I'll also make something for lunch.." Kongpob was just getting up but was held back by Arthit, who had caught his hand.
"It's okay Kong. I will make something for myself at lunch. You don't have to worry too much, I can still take care of myself, okay?"
Kongpob frowned even as Arthit continued, "Don't you have that meeting in the morning? You should get going soon, right?"
The Alpha's eyes rounded in surprise as if he just remembered. He got up quickly and rushed to the kitchen and put the cooker on for the porridge. He brought out some crunchy seaweed chips that Arthit loved as the bread was toasting. This was Kongpob's mother's recipe. She had said that on days when Arthit didn't feel like eating a lot, this could be light, nutritious and satiating at the same time. The Alpha then rushed to get ready for work, choosing one of his best shirts and a tie as well. His boss had invited him to sit at a meeting with an important client. This was important for Kongpob as it meant he would be a part of the team that would be assigned to this big client.
After having the warm breakfast, Kongpob made sure that his Phii was comfortable before leaving for work. Arthit had assured him that he would be just fine and would reach work after having lunch. Kongpob also vowed to himself that he would call in and check from time to time. They shared a kiss as Arthit waved the Alpha off to work.
The moment Kongpob reached work, he got pulled into everything, with the pre-review of the meeting and then the meeting itself. Plus the post-meeting brief with his boss and other members of the team. It had been continuous and before he knew it, it was way past lunch-time. Kongpob still to forward all the details regarding the client requirements and the meeting in general. By the time he was done and decided to take a break, it was already past three in the afternoon.
Kongpob was sitting, sipping on his coffee as his lunch appetite had disappeared. He was taking a moment before he called Arthit when suddenly his phone rang. It was P'Earth. Kongpob rushed to answer, knowing it would be something regarding his Phii, who was not at his best this morning.
However, before saying anything, Kongpob had to take a deep breath so as to calm himself down. "Swadee Kharp Phii."
"Watdee watdee. I just called to ask, is N'Arthit with you? Can I talk to him for a minute?" Hearing what P'Earth had to say, Kongpob frowned. This can't be right. Arthit had said he would be at work by lunch-time and now it was almost 4:00 pm.
"Phii, P'Arthit told me that he would reach work by lunch. He wanted to be there for the presentation. Is he not there? Did he call you?"
"'N'Arthit didn't come in N'Kongpob. And I tried calling him after the presentation but he's not answering. I thought he would be with you since he was not well in the morning. I just wanted to see if he was okay."
Kongpob's heart filled with concern and his head was all over the place with fear. His mate had not made it to work, but he had not called or left a message either. This didn't sit well at all with the Alpha. However, Kongpob once again tried to keep calm before replying to P'Earth. "Phii..I'm at work and I was too busy until now. I was just about to call P'Arthit when you called. I will see if he answers me and if not then I'll head home immediately. I hope everything is okay and he's just tired and nothing else."
Kongpob felt P'Earth showing her sympathetic smile, "Yes. I think so too. I'm sure it's nothing. Keep me updated okay?"
"Kharp Phii." Kongpob hung up and immediately called Arthit. His Phii did not pick up the first time and the Alpha was already striding towards his boss' office so he could leave immediately.
Kongpob had been calling Arthit's phone continuously. And just when he was climbing into his car, the phone was finally answered.
"Phii..."
"Heey Koong..." What Kongpob heard doubled his panicky state. Arthit's voice was barely audible, the words were slurred and drowsy as if that of a drunk person.
"Phii! What.."
"Ohh Koonng.." And then the line went dead but not before Kongpob had heard a loud thud. With fear clenching his heart and mind, Kongpob drove like a mad man. Something was wrong and he needed to get to his Phii right now.
