Horizon | ATEEZ - Omegaverse

Chapter Thirty Five

San smiles to himself as he softly knocks on Seonghwa's door later that night after he just left his friends in the living area of their building. They didn't ask him where he was going, nor when he would be back. They knew where he was going and they were more worried about comforting Yunho after Seonghwa revealed to him earlier that night about his parent's knowledge.

Seonghwa had tried to explain that it's going to be okay since they won't tell anyone about it, especially since he helped Areum through her illness. Yunho is the reason that their daughter is no longer in pain, and Seonghwa knows that they owe him the kindness of keeping their mouths shut.

The prospect of the shocking news getting around to other packs is another factor that goes into Hyejin and Gyungho not wanting to say anything. They want peace, and magic is not something that will align nicely with those wishes. All magic does is cause war, but seeing as no one is aware, they trust that Yunho and Mingi both will be safe.

The door to Seonghwa's room slowly slides open, revealing Seonghwa in his loose-fitting night robe, his sleepy eyes connecting with San's in an ecstasy-filled gaze.

"My love..." San's lips part as he studies Seonghwa's jaw-dropping beauty, his eyes trailing from the disheveled way his hair is falling down over his eyes to his lips made of pure velvet.

Seonghwa's body heats up as soon as he hears San's voice, his wolf purring under his touch when he carefully caresses his cheek. He falls into the touch, wanting to feel more of San's skin on his own, looking up at him through his lashes, "Tonight won't be a goodbye, San," Seonghwa makes sure that San knows, he will come to him.

San lets out a subtle chuckle as they back themselves into Seonghwa's room so they can slide the door shut from the cold, "It better not be," He smiles, but to Seonghwa it looks more like a smirk. The look sends shivers throughout his body, suddenly becoming more aware of how relaxing his rose scent is. The smell invades his nose as he sits back on his bed, letting San stand between his legs so he can continue to caress his face.

"How'd you manage this?" San asks, having been curious about his answer all evening.

"Hmm...?" Seonghwa hums back, fluttering his eyes under San's touch.

"Spending my last day here together," He whispers, letting his thumb move over Seonghwa's bottom lip, gently pulling it down until it pops back up.

Seonghwa wraps his arms around San and brings him down onto the bed with him so their arms can entangle one another, "I've been begging and begging to see you just one last time before you have to go back to Eclipse..." His breath is hot against San's chest, "Th-They allowed me this day," He smiles up at him, but San can tell he's trying to mask his sadness.

San nuzzles his nose to Seonghwa's before giving him a tender kiss on the lips, "And I will cherish it."

"They demanded that I'm not to come back with a mating mark on my neck," Seonghwa says hesitantly, "They still are adamant about Eunji and I's mating ceremony."

San moves down and places a light kiss on Seonghwa's neck, "I won't mark you... As much as I want for you to be mine," he comes back up so he can press his forehead to Seonghwa's, "That will have to come at a later time, I'm afraid, but... It will come," San hums, "I trust in you, my love."

"Areum and I have a plan, but I don't know if she's spoken to Eunji about it yet," Seonghwa sighs, "Please don't worry, I promise that I will find a way," His eyes water as he looks back into San's eyes, knowing that he's looking into the eyes of the love of his life. His fated mate.
