Lab Baby

This Is Gospel

Seonghwa didn't think his luck could get any better.

He hardly slept at all that night, and when he was supposed to wake up the next day they immediately jumped into triggering heats for the new Omegas coming in.

They don't do too much at a time. In the past, they have taken in twelve Omegas and triggered their heats all in the same day and fertilization the next day. In the end, it all resulted in pregnancies which is what they wanted, but towards the end of their pregnancies all gave birth around the same time and it was a hassle. Now, they try to spread out the pregnancies and deliveries the best they can while also providing a fast army.

They were all taken to a cafeteria, just the twelve of them to eat breakfast before the process begins. It was quiet and hardly any of them wanted to talk much less eat with the elephant in the room not addressed. With only twelve of them in the cafeteria eating, it feels almost empty compared to the facility where they came from that housed over hundreds of Omegas.

Seonghwa bites his lip, looking down at the cinnamon oatmeal with apple slices decorating the top in a flower figure. He sighs, he really missed his brother.

"You alright?" An Omega sitting in front of him asks, frowning when he notices Seonghwa has barely put a dent in his food, "You know if you don't eat they'll make you."

"I'm well aware," Seonghwa mumbles, dipping his spoon in the sticky porridge to scoop some up and bring it to his mouth. It was sickly sweet and the cinnamon had a nice pop to bring out the apple flavor.

The Omega watches him warily, sniffling slightly as he eats another spoonful of his own meal, "I know it's not something we want to address... but we can't let them see it is affecting us like this guys. This is just something we have to go through."

"Would you shut up Minhyuk?" A different Omega snaps, Seonghwa recognized him as Kihyun, "It doesn't lighten the situation at all for all of us."

"Well no but I'd rather address it now instead of letting it hang over our fucking heads," the dark haired Omega, Minhyuk, snaps back, "It's best to just do as they say and it'll make your time here easier. The more you fight, the more they will and right now they're at an advantage."

Seonghwa lays his spoon down quietly, his stomach couldn't handle another bite right now with his nerves making him wanting to throw everything back up. They didn't have to wait long before a human walks in and clears the table. The Omegas sat there and waited for further instructions, they know if they move without being permitted they will just be forced to sit back down to wait for further instructions.

The far door to the cafeteria opens loudly and four lab assistants step into the room. The fifth one had a long white lab coat aside from the others who wore scrubs. He had a iPad in his hands, his fingers typed furiously on the screen and glasses perched on his long, skinny nose. He brushes his hair back before looking up and around the Omegas, "Food morning. Today, just like a week ago, we will be taking three of you back and we will trigger your heats. Whoever doesn't get chosen this week, will have to wait until next week. In the mean time, you will still continue your daily activities here much like you did in the facility. And we will be monitoring you at all times."

Seonghwa sighs as he waited patiently, the scientist paces in front of them slowly, his dress shoe heels clank noisily on the white marbled tiles as he paced.

Until he stopped in front of one of the Omegas. He looks up from his iPad to study the Omega before nodding, "Park Jimin?"

"Y-Yes sir," the Omega stutters, his Adam's apple bobs slightly as he seemed to try and swallow the bile rising in his throat.
