Horizon | ATEEZ - Omegaverse

Chapter Twenty One

"I'm so excited to see her, Seonghwa! You have no idea," Eunji says with excitement, a wide smile spread across her face as she looks up at him. They had just gotten out of lessons for the day.

Seonghwa glances down at her joy-filled face, but he turns back to facing front as he walks towards his sister's bedroom. He knows Eunji and Areum have been friends for a while, but he still can't understand why she would be so excited to see someone. Seonghwa can't remember the last time he was excited to see someone like Eunji is excited to see Areum.

Well...

He might be able to think of one time recently...

Seonghwa shifts his eyes away from Eunji, trying to focus his attention away from thinking of San and more on his steps as they get closer to Areum's room.

Seonghwa and Eunji finally arrive outside of Areum's bedroom door and Seonghwa slides open the door to reveal his sister sitting calmly in her bed. He watches as Areum's eyes light up when she sees Eunji come out from behind him.

"Areum!" Eunji says excitedly, almost running into the room and up to Areum's bed where she lays.

"I haven't seen you in what feels like ages, Eunji," Areum says, showing her best friend a joyous smile, "I've missed you."

Seonghwa comes in behind Eunji slowly, letting Eunji take the seat by Areum's bed. He stands beside her and watches absent-mindedly as the two girls interact and catch up with one another.

"How are you feeling?" Eunji asks, her voice becoming more worried when her eyes had caught sight of the bin by her bedside full of tissues with a red substance on a few of them.

Areum keeps her warm smile on, making sure to stay calm so she doesn't have a coughing fit from excitement, "I feel well, Eun. How are you feeling? Have you taken the pack children out to the waterfall recently?"

Eunji shakes her head, "No, I haven't taken them for a while... You know they liked it best when you would take them," She chuckles, "I'll see about taking them soon, or perhaps I could ask some of the omega guests to take them. I bet they would enjoy that!" Eunji smiles, having taken over for Areum since she's been sick. She's been one of the few alphas that go down and play with and look after the pack children.

"I think they would. I'm sure none of them have ventured out to the waterfall, it's likely they aren't even aware it's there," Areum says, sitting up straighter with her hands placed in her lap nicely.

"They talk about you a lot, you know. If you're able to, maybe soon you can come visit?" Eunji asks with a hope-filled voice.

Seonghwa's eyes ended up trailing off to gaze out the window while the two girls talked. His eyes were drawn to a presence that he sensed outside, soon finding San standing among a group of other boys and one girl. Seonghwa has seen them around before. They must be San's friends, Seonghwa thinks.
