Horizon | ATEEZ - Omegaverse

Chapter Twenty Three

"Today's lesson might seem a bit old-school to the majority of our guests, but don't worry, this only applies to members of Chrysalis," Hyejin starts.

Wooyoung can feel Sunghee's eyes on him and it makes Wooyoung feel strangely uncomfortable. When Sunghee returned to him the morning after he spent the previous night with Yeosang. He meets Sunghee's eyes and the guilt begins to eat at him slowly from the inside out. Wooyoung tries to keep his face normal, but he knows Sunghee sees that something is different about him.

Sunghee cocks an eyebrow up as if to ask Wooyoung 'what's wrong?' but Wooyoung shakes his head to say 'it's nothing' and turns back towards Hyejin.

"In Chrysalis, you're not to kiss anyone until you are mated and stick to minimal touching of others unless they're family or your mate. As I'm sure you've noticed, we don't engage in hugs or any of that sort with our other members. Physical contact is reserved specifically for family members or mated couples," Hyejin continues and Gyungho starts to elaborate on it.

While the heads of Chrysalis speak and teach them about today's rule, Wooyoung finds his eyes trailing off to look at the back of Yeosang's head. He admires his long fluffy hair and he thinks about how soft it is and how easily his fingers ran through it.

Yeosang's head turns slightly, but not enough for anyone to notice his brief eye contact with Wooyoung. The look in their eyes when they exchange a glance is unlike any other. The way their eyes light up, it's like their soul ignites with everything that they're feeling. The feelings left unsaid. The movements left untaken.

They were finally handled... and with such delicate hands.

Sunghee sees how Wooyoung continues to steal glimpses of Yeosang throughout the lesson and he can't help but feel an unusual twisting sensation in the pit of his stomach. He knew right when he saw his mate's old best friend again that things were going to be different here. Oh, how we wished he could've been wrong, but it stings to see it staring him right in the face.

During the lessons, San listens intently to what Hyejin and Gyungho say about the rules of Chrysalis members and not engaging in physical contact with other people. He thinks back to all of the times he had touched Seonghwa and he feels slightly bad about it even though he craves it so fiercely.

Just like every day, San is staring at the back of Seonghwa with longing eyes, his wolf becoming more content with just seeing Seonghwa no matter how much he thirsts for their touch. Seonghwa's words from the other night haven't stopped running through his head and even when he tries to push the thoughts away, San sees something that reminds him of his fated mate.

San goes up to Seonghwa after lessons end and the omegas are on their way to the children's building, "Hwa?" He starts and he stops in his tracks when Seonghwa instantly pauses and turns towards him with rosier cheeks than normal.

Seonghwa's eyes meet San's and he parts his lips unconsciously, suddenly finding himself out of breath. He feels his heart rate increase as it always does around San and his wolf urges him to get closer, still yearning for the feeling of San's skin against his. Before meeting San, Seonghwa's wolf was comfortable with being around Eunji since she's an alpha, but now that he's met his fated mate, everything has changed. Everything he feels now revolves around the man in front of him, Choi San.
