Chapter Text
The event on that night, even though Baekhyun didn’t recall it, Jongdae and Kyungsoo fill it in for him the next day he went to school and have lunch together as the basketball team was called to the headmaster office as they won the competition.
It was agonizing, he had that glimpse of memory, but he thought it was a dream or some sort and certainly not a real event. He could feel his face heat up and to think about how they sleep together afterwards, and binge on Netflix. Was the reason for Chanyeol asking him to spend heat together was that? Because Baekhyun acts inviting in the first place? But he never meant to seduce The Alpha. In the midst of Kyungsoo and Jongdae’s laughter, he rubbed his face in horror.
“Hey, it’s not that bad. What are you thinking about?” Jongdae asked, being concerned as he knew his omega friend had lost it.
“I have thousands of things circulating in my mind but it’s so embarrassing to let out.” Baekhyun said with sagged shoulders and defeated voice.
“You shouldn’t be feeling that way if it’s about Chanyeol. I mean, it’s Chanyeol.” Kyungsoo said, trying to cheer him up but it worsened the situation because for Baekhyun, Chanyeol is not just Chanyeol. With all the messy feelings, he didn’t even know how to describe it.
“I won’t tell Chanyeol. I’m his best friend but no, you are my friend too. And I know how that overgrown alpha thinks of things so feel free to let it out.” Kyungsoo said again to reassure Baekhyun.
“I think I totally black out that day.” Baekhyun said, in which Jongdae and Kyungsoo rolled their eyes in unison, it’s something that need not to be cleared as it was already as clear as day.
“I thought the kiss was my imagination or something. And I don’t know how we ended up in my room sleeping together. Before you think too much it’s for real, ok, just sleeping, no funny business.” He reprimanded but Kyungsoo just smirked and Jongdae let out an evil laughter.
“We kinda spend the day together, and.. Uh.. you know how omega will have heat within the next two weeks - ten weeks from now right? I kind of will have it in two weeks. Chanyeol can sense it and he asked if I wanted to be his heat mate.” Baekhyun said and looked at Jongdae’s and Kyungsoo’s face alternatingly. He was observing how they would think about this which they knew was not going to be pretty. Kyungsoo's face palmed and Jongdae frowned.
“Did you ask why?” Kyungsoo asked, he hoped that if his best friend was already inviting Baekhyun to it, at least he already has a plan on telling how he feels to Baekhyun.
“To alleviate pain as he knew how painful it was to spend heat alone as an omega.” Baekhyun answered meekly, it was clear that he was also not sure about the event.
“And you said yes?” Jongdae asked in a snappy manner. Baekhyun just nodded to confirm.
“I think it’s not even important to understand why Chanyeol asked in the first place. Let’s talk about why you agree?” Jongdae started to interrogate the omega. He didn’t hate Chanyeol, not after talking to Kyungsoo and understanding how genuine the Alpha actually is. But he hated the way The Alpha asked Baekhyun and he was livid on why Baekhyun said yes at the crappy invitation.
“Promise me you won’t tell Chanyeol?” He asked Kyungsoo with a plea in his eyes. The wide eyed omega nodded at him.
“I think I like Chanyeol, and I don’t know for how long he will keep this ‘relationship’ so.. I guess it’s just a memory that I want to have with him.” Kyungsoo and Jongdae sighed at that.
“Have you ever thought about confessing to Chanyeol? I mean, I know Chanyeol, he’s not the type to just offer an omega to spend heat together. There must be something.” Kyungsoo hinted.
“Nah, who will like an omega like me, Soo? I’ll just keep it to myself.” Baekhyun said and chuckled. The thought of being rejected by Chanyeol, he thinks he won’t be able to survive that so no. He won’t tell.
_____________________________________
There’s nothing out of norm for Chanyeol and Baekhyun after the heat invitation. They still spend their time together, even if Chanyeol becomes sweeter towards Baekhyun. But The Omega didn’t want to think much about it.
It was nerve wracking and weird for Baekhyun to update him about the heat he will go through. Something like, “Yeol my calendar said it will come in 5 days.”
Sometimes even Chanyeol smelled his nape a few times to confirm if it’s really the timeline that Baekhyun just said. Alpha always said it’s going to be faster than that, because the scent Baekhyun was emitting was already too sweet.
At last, Chanyeol was right about it. It happened when Baekhyun was just done tutoring one of the kids, and he’s on the way home, suddenly his belly felt funny and his body was heating up. He ran as fast as he could to the nearest station, and called Chanyeol. It was scary to go home on his own as a defenseless omega, and this kind of situation led into a lot of omega being raped.
It was a miracle that Chanyeol picked up the phone fast.
“Yeol, it’s coming. Are you free now?”
“Where are you? Is the slick out yet?” Baekhyun was taken aback with the crude language the alpha let out.
“Uh.. I am near the station, I will send you the address, it’s near your house. And no.. the slick has not come out yet.”
“I’ll come and get you.” Chanyeol replied in a gruff voice and hung up.
Meanwhile Baekhyun was standing near a Ttokboki stall as it was crowded and worse come to worst he won’t be rape because there’s a lot of people. He hated how he didn’t believe Chanyeol enough that he would get his heat sooner than he thought. At least the aunty who sells the Ttokbokki was fast to know that his heat was coming and hid him behind the counter.
It felt like forever even if it’s just 5 minutes. He was trying to think about anything else and not focus on his heat to not let out the slick faster. When Chanyeol came, he ran and hugged him. Chanyeol whispered “You are going to be okay” a few times and kissed his forehead. At that moment, his slick began to drop. Chanyeol cursed and quickly took him to his motorcycle and drove away, at the same time some Alphas already detected an omega in heat and went feral.
When they arrived at Baekhyun’s apartment, Baekhyun was piggy-backed by Chanyeol and everything was a blur. When he was being carried, he was too near to Chanyeol’s nape, the ultimate scent generator and he was getting weaker. He was swooned by the scent so he clinged harder and sniffed at the Alpha’s nape.
Little did he know that it did nothing good for the Alpha’s sanity. It was hard enough to stay sane and ride the bike to the omega’s apartment, and when he was in the brink of his sanity Baekhyun just had to be near his nape and sniff him. He could feel the omega’s slick was out already as Baekhyun smelt divine.
As they arrived and Chanyeol laid Baekhyun on his bed, he tried so hard to grip at his sanity and not give in to Baekhyun. He could bet that the omega was not even sane and conscious that he begged for him openly now. He was whining.
“Yeol.. Uhh.. It hurts down there. Hold me.”
“Yeol.. hold me please? Yeol you smelled so good.”
He ruffled his own hair and focused not to let go of his conscience. This is Baekhyun, and there’s no way he wanted to be rough at him and just let his instinct rule.
He then went down at Baekhyun, trapping his body on his, and the omega was staring at him intently with eyes full of lust.
“You will be okay, Baekhyun. Do you trust me?” He asked while stroking his fringe softly. Baekhyun let out a small whine and nodded.
“Good. You will be okay, Baekhyun.” He said then he leaned down to take Baekhyun’s lips at his. He was trying not to be aggressive and kiss him softly but Baekhyun ran out of patience and kissed him with all he had, it was quite aggressive. He nipped at Chanyeol’s lips a few times.
“Yeol, please?” Chanyeol groaned at that, the omega just didn’t know how much he was trying to get a hold of himself and he just whined at him.
“You will feel good soon, Hyunnie.” He said then he traced the omega’s jaw to his nape with his tongue and nip at his nape teasingly in which Baekhyun's body twitched and he let out a high pitched moan. Then he undressed the omega, and left him only with his brief.
Goodness Gracious, Baekhyun was so beautiful, being sprawled like this just at his mercy.
“You are beautiful, Baekhyun.” He said and Baekhyun just hid his eyes on his arms. Chanyeol was nipping on a random pattern at his navel while his fingers were fondling his nipple and Baekhyun’s hand went to his own dick to stroke it lazily and Chanyeol smirked at that. Then to surprise the omega, he took off his briefs quickly and licked on the tip of the omega’s dick, which made Baekhyun slightly sit up to see what’s happening and put both of his palms to cover his mouth. But his squeal was heard anyway. Chanyeol approached him and made him uncover his mouth with force.
“Let me hear you, Baek, do you feel good?” He asked then pecked his lips while grinding his member to the omega’s. The omega just bit his lips to prevent any voice from being let out.
Chanyeol then undressed himself and sat in front of the omega’s legs. He spread it wide and dove down to the hole to give some love. He licked, sucked and played it with his finger.
“Please, please. Please Yeol, I want.. Nnggh.. I want it in my hole.” God, Baekhyun was driving him crazy. Then he thrust one finger to Baekhyun’s inviting hole. It was so pink and full of slick right now. And when he thrusted it was so warm that he was losing his mind.
“God, I can’t take this anymore.” Chanyeol mumbled and Baekhyun heard it, so he sat up and went for the Alpha’s dick in his hand, he didn’t have any experience but albeit sloppy, it was still arousing for Chanyeol. He watched the omega stroking his dick up and down with his pretty finger then he grabbed Baekhyun’s hair and pushed it down to his dick.
“Suck it, Baek.” He whispered raspily and Baekhyun went down at his member as far as he could even if it’s not possible as Chanyeol’s was gifted. With unsure movement Baekhyun was staring at Chanyeol the same time he was going up and down his groin and Chanyeol stroked at his back and teased him at the butt cleft, making him shake and moan at his dick. Resulting a vibrating sensation in that tight, warm cavern of his mouth.
“God it’s so good.” Upon hearing that praise, Baekhyun was going up and down at a faster pace, feeling more eager at the encouragement, but Chanyeol stopped him.
“I can’t wait to be inside you.” He said and he pushed Baekhyun down the sheet with force, trapping him there and kissing him briefly then he went down to his nipple and sucked and bit alternately while his other hand was stroking the omega’s dick at a quick pace. Baekhyun was losing himself already. He saw that Baekhyun had tears in his eyes while his body was trembling and shaking like leaves.
Chanyeol then sucked and nipped the other nipple while the other hand shifted from his dick to enter the omega’s hole with two fingers then three fingers at a quick pace to prepare him.
“Nggh.. Ahh.. Yeol.. Soo good.” Baekhyun moaned. He could bet if Baekhyun was sane he would be embarrassed by how he acted now. When he deemed the omega was ready. He pulled out his fingers, scoping the omega’s slick and stroked it at his dick a few times and leaned down to Baekhyun, he held both of Baekhyun’s hand and whispered at him.
“Are you ready to take me now?” He asked and Baekhyun nodded a few times with wide curious eyes.
“Please let me know if it hurts, okay?” Baekhyun nodded in frenzy and he pushed bit by bit while distracting the omega by kissing his nape.
“Ahhh Chanyeol. Yeol! It.. Ahh It hurts!” He said as he felt Chanyeol’s dick breakthrough his hole.
“Hold it a bit Baek, it will get better. I’m sorry it hurts.” He said and stopped trusting, it was just the tip that went in, and Baekhyun had already said that it hurts. He felt bad for the omega. Then he kissed the omega softly while stroking his hair. Then he licked and sucked at his ears which was actually the omega’s most sensitive area as he started to moan and wiggle beneath him. He then continued while stroking the Omega’s dick too. Then he pushed his member little by little so it could settle fully. He then alternated to suck the omega’s nipple and lick at it too. And it was effective, it seems as if the omega was not aware of it because of the simulation. He couldn’t even perform a word and was only whining and groaning with tears in his eyes.
“Yeol, nggghh. Oh.. Is it.. In? I feel.. Fell so full” He said in difficulties and Chanyeol smiled at him and pecked his cheeks.
“Good job omega, it’s in now. Does it hurt?”
“No.. Just full. Don’t.. don’t move first nngh please.” Baekhyun asked because as much as it felt good, to be honest the fullness he felt was overwhelming. Chanyeol thought he was cute, so he pinched his nipple while licking his ear which effectively made Baekhyun writhing and lost his mind even more as he started to move in and out the omega’s hole.
He really would like to cater to the omega’s want, but he couldn’t take it any longer, he felt that his instinct won this time that he just want to move into that hole.
Baekhyun was overwhelmed with the feelings of Chanyeol’s dick ramming up to him, he circled his hand on Chanyeol’s neck and gripped it hard, as if it was the handle to his conscience. But Chanyeol, as he was holding the beast back for too long at the beginning, started to feel restless and it was not quite enough for him so he pulled out and he shifted baekhyun so that he was on all fours. Baekhyun was looking at him with a lost expression but Chanyeol just smirked.
Then he rammed into Baekhyun’s hole while holding his waist hard. Baekhyun gave out a high pitched moan and was trashing on the bed due to the pleasure.
“Feels so good Baek. Oh God. Feels so good.” Chanyeol said then when Baekhyun’s body was tense, Chanyeol knew that he was close so he was stroking his dick while ramming into him and in no time, Baekhyun moan into the pillow while trembling and at the tightness of the passage, Chanyeol cursed and not long after, he was coming too.
_____________________________________
They were on it for a few times, as the heat died down after three days in which Baekhyun was awakened before Chanyeol and he just saw the man’s face in front of him with mixed feelings. It seemed like they were sleeping with Baekhyun on Chanyeol’s arm through out the night and his legs were still tangled by Chanyeol’s.
Other omegas said that you don’t really remember what happened during your heat, and that was absolute bullshit. Because Baekhyun could remember big chunks of it even if he hoped not to. He lost control of himself, he was not going to deny that, but he remembered that he asked the alpha to claim him.
How could he face Chanyeol after this? He felt like the alpha would laugh at him and belittle his feelings. What will the alpha say when he wakes up? Even if he seemingly accepted his feelings, would he really accept or was it a pity, like how he pitied Seohyun? As much as he liked to be engulfed with Chanyeol’s body heat and strong arms, maybe it was going to be better if he fled the scene as soon as possible.
He was about to uncover himself and went away when he realized that they were still naked. He blushed at it, he saw a glimpse of Chanyeol’s arm and he remembered how Chanyeol manhandled him and trapped him with those arms. When he was about to go away, he felt Chanyeol dragged him to the bed again and hugged him tight.
“Where do you want to go?” He asked with a raspy voice and let out a chuckle. The omega’s heart beat rapidly. As if Chanyeol were there to crumble his resolution of getting away from him. His body was going limp as he inhaled that scent that was entirely Chanyeol’s.
“Stay.” Chanyeol said as he pecked Baekhyun’s hair. But The omega decided that he couldn’t be swayed any longer. He had to leave Chanyeol, because there’s nothing good will come if he stays. He struggled for a bit and was out of the bed. He was naked and when he looked for his clothes it was scattered. So he rushed to his wardrobe and took random clothes to cover himself, feeling embarrassed and conscious that he was in his birthday suit.
Chanyeol chuckled at this and enjoyed the view. He thought that it was cute Baekhyun managed to be shy as he was so needy for him three consecutive days before. He approached the omega and hugged him just after he finished using his t-shirt, still leaving the lower part bare. The omega flinched at that, but he decided not to care and sniffed at his nape.
“What’s the hurry? Don’t you want to cuddle with me more? While you are sane and sober?” He whispered at Baekhyun and the shorter one let out a yelp. Truthfully, there’s a lot for Chanyeol to ask. The most burning question was why Baekhyun asked him to be claimed? But why was the omega so rigid today? But Baekhyun turned himself so he looked at Chanyeol face to face and pushed his torso away.
“Cover yourself. You’re still naked.” He said in an expressionless way. Chanyeol was alerted by that and tried to see the omega’s face but there was no smile or other sign of happiness. What went wrong?
“Baek.” He called the omega softly and put his hands on the omega’s chin and lifted it to meet his face, but the omega refused and resumed clothing himself. He sensed bad news, but he felt in this kind of situation, maybe it’s best to cover himself first. So he searched for his clothes that were scattered in the room and sit at the end of the bed while Baekhyun was sitting at the far end of the bed.
“Thank you for tending to my heat.” Baekhyun said without looking at Chanyeol. He was busying himself while fondling his hands. The Alpha was at a loss on what to do with the situation because he thought they were having a good time and Baekhyun asked to be claimed, so why were they in this awkward situation?
“Uhh.. I hope I was not much of a bother.” The omega said again and Chanyeol still decided to keep his silence. He wanted Baekhyun to be suffocated to the silence and spilled more of his thoughts and it seemed like it would work because Baekhyun started to say again.
“I.. Even if.. I.. Uhh.. I don’t know how to word this right.” Baekhyun seemed frustrated and messed up his own hair.
“I remember most of it. Whatever happened. Don’t bother with whatever I said, please.” A plea was apparent in his voice and Chanyeol palmed his face. He didn’t understand why Baekhyun was so detached today.
“Baek. You’re a virgin.” He said, and Baekhyun’s body turned cold quickly. He never thought Chanyeol would bring that up. He kept mum because he never thought Chanyeol would ask him that.
The Alpha walked over to The Omega and crouched down to look at him. “You said you are not, but then you are. Tell me why you agree to spend it with me.” Baekhyun tried so hard to avoid looking at Chanyeol and his burning gaze.
“Why do you let me be your first?” He asked firmly and Baekhyun bit his lips hard. He was feeling cornered by how firm Chanyeol's voice was right now.
“Why were you so cold now, when you asked me to claim you yesterday?” He asked dejectedly. The Omega then braced himself and looked at Chanyeol’s burning gaze.
“I can’t do this. Whatever it is with you. I can’t do this anymore.” After the omega said that, the tension was so thick that it could be cut by a knife. Baekhyun then shook his head before he continued talking
“Chanyeol, I don’t know how to face you right now. Just.. Let’s stop, okay? I can’t act as if everything was okay. I thought I could but I can’t. If you want to reveal to the world that I was working at the maid cafe or what not.. Whatever, okay? I can’t have whatever this is with you anymore.”
“What do you mean?” The Alpha was upset now. He didn’t understand the omega, it was as if they were suddenly speaking different languages. He then sat beside Baekhyun, taking one of his hands on his and tried to lift his chin towards him. And Baekhyun complied, he seemed so defeated and looked at Chanyeol with eyes full of sorrow.
“I know it’s a game for you. But I ended up falling for you, so.. Jokes on me, I guess?” The omega said and chuckled even if there’s no trace of humor in that laugh.
“But I know you don’t care. I know that this is all just a game for you and if I fell for you I am just another Seohyun for you. I cannot be your boyfriend anymore. Not when I wanted it to be real. But I know you don’t like me, Yeol. So don’t bother.” The omega said, and he was close to tears. Then Chanyeol hugged him tightly. He was in surprise that the omega fell for him, he was madly in love with the omega too. How could he just say he would be another Seohyun?
“Oh My, Baekhyun.. Don’t startle me like that.” He said while caressing the omega’s back for comfort.
“I like you a lot, Baek. I really do. Do you think I will just reveal to the world that you work in that maid cafe? I never even take a picture. I was just looking for opportunities to spend time with you.” Chanyeol then breaks their hug to inspect Baekhyun’s expression, and he looks baffled. He thinks that Baekhyun looks adorable so he chuckled.
“You are lying, is this pity coming from you?” He asked because he was not convinced, everything Chanyeol said seemed too good to be true. “Why blackmail someone if you love them?” He continued and even if he wanted to be close to the alpha, buried his face on his chest with his damn pleasant scent, he held himself back while clutching the tip of his shirt.
“I like you a lot Baekhyun, but there’s no opening for me. Who am I when you are so perfect? How can I make you look at me? I was at a loss. I made fun of you once then you became reactive towards me, you showed that you were agitated, then you frowned at me, scrunched your face and all of that to be honest was just so cute.” Chanyeol then pinched at Baekhyun’s cheek.
“I’m sorry Baek. But you are not another Seohyun for me. I was always enthralled by you, I thought that when Seohyun came and begged me to try with her I could forget you and have feelings for her just like I have feelings for you but I can’t. Then I just have to discover you at that maid cafe. I was just using that as a tool for us to get closer, even though Kyungsoo cursed at me more than five times because he claimed it’s stupid.” Baekhyun felt his heart was exploding. It was a mix of different feelings. He liked him but will he still love him knowing how much baggage he had? He felt his tears begin to drop and Chanyeol shoved him into his embrace and hugged him tight.
“I never regret that I blackmail you. Because then I know what kind of person you are, how funny you were when you let out your real self and treated me without malice. I enjoyed our time together, our random cafe visit, our study time, our weekend dinner time. I like it all, and I like you more as I get closer to you, Baek. I love you.” He said and pecked his hair.
This was the ending that Baekhyun never thought he would get. Because of his issues, he thought that he was undeserving of the goodness of the world. How could he just love someone and drag them to his problem? On another thought, maybe it’s true, he shouldn’t drag Chanyeol to his problem, he shouldn’t be with him.
He was still in Chanyeol’s embrace, he was not breaking the hug because he still wanted to feel him close, and he felt that when he rejected him, he better have some support holding him up. So he just wiped his face and cleared up his throat.
“Chanyeol. I don’t think this is a good idea.” He said while hiding at the huge alpha’s body.
“Which part? Don’t you say you fall for me too? And I love you, Baek. Don’t think too much.” Chanyeol said and Baekhyun mumbled. “I have lots of problems.” But Chanyeol caught that.
“I’ll be here, I'll listen to you.” He said assuringly while rocking the omega back and forth.
“I have money problems.” Then Chanyeol just laughed at it.
“I figured but I don’t see why it should affect me.”
“You’ll run if you know.” He said being pessimistic but Chanyeol lifted his face and pecked him on the lips.
“Try me, but little omega, we just got out of the sex frenzy. I believe we should eat first.” He said and pinched his nose. Baekhyun’s face heated up and nodded.
That day they spend their day ordering food, eating together, then Baekhyun starts to open up to Chanyeol about everything that happened in his life. Contrary to what he thought, Chanyeol was not belittling him. He was actually encouraging him and said that he figured, and he thought he was such a strong omega and it made him to fall for him more.
“I will not have much time for you, Yeol.” He said trying to point out the worst thing out of his condition.
“I know. And it’s okay.” Chanyeol said and ruffled his hair, it made his heart feel so full.
“Don’t you mind that I work in a maid cafe?” He asked timidly.
“I mind, and I have a proposal. I think you’ll hate it but.. Let’s talk about it later. For now it’s okay.” Chanyeol was trying to propose some things so Baekhyun was not working in that maid cafe anymore but he thought that this was too early, they were just solidifying their relationship. He didn’t want to appear too imposing.
“I want to ask, but Gosh this is so embarrassing. Minseok Hyung said that you gave me tips. It was not really small, why were you giving me that? And you gave that allowance for buying you food and drinks but to be honest it was a lot more than what was needed, plus you often took me out for dinner so that money would remain untouched. Why did you do that?”
“Because I sense that you must have some trouble with money so you resort to that type of job. I am not wrong about that anyways. And that money, I already said to Hyung you should never find out from me. But that damn Hyung told you so that’s why you started to overthink. I just felt like you needed to be rewarded so I gave you that. To be honest I don’t want you to try so hard on earning money, I don’t want you to ever skip dinner and treat yourself a bit with that money but you never did. It disappoints me, but if that money could help you in any way, I would be happy. After all, I want to provide you with the best things, because you are the omega that I adore.” Baekhyun’s heart raced at that.
“Why do you spend so much money on me anyways?” He asked, feeling happy albeit he felt little at the same time.
“Okay so, don’t tell people, I really hate when people know too much, but.. Two years ago, I asked my Dad for money. I said that I wanted to start investing in stocks. He laughed at me. And said that I’ll fail but he gave me some money. He called it ‘learning money’ so I won’t make the same mistake when I grow up. But then I invested in bitcoin, and I believe you know how it went. Then after that I invest in some company that is starting off, the one that I believe will succeed so I started to get a dividend now.” What he loved about Chanyeol, he never seemed like he was bragging. He was genuinely sharing, there’s no boasting tone in his voice. It was very humble, and Baekhyun gaped at that.
“And as I tell you this. Will you listen to my proposal?” He asked and Baekhyun nodded.
“Quit Minseok Hyung’s cafe please?” Baekhyun then frowned, he didn’t like this idea, he felt that Chanyeol was imposing and he didn’t want to be dependent on Chanyeol. Then Chanyeol waved his hands at him.
“Okay I get that you’re not happy. But listen to me. We can have a lot of ways. I got a proposal. First, you can just borrow the money from me, I don’t mind. Then I invest in some stock, I mean I’m good at that, so. I will just play around with that money, invest in a quick stock, like the one you buy and you sell in a few days, then you get the profits. So you don’t owe me anything. How? But please, please stop?”
“No, Chanyeol, why you have to do that on top of giving me allowance money for buying you drinks and meals which is just an excuse anyways. You don’t have to do this.” He crossed his hands on his chest and frowned.
“You are cute in your maid outfit Baek. But I don’t want a lot of people to see that. And there’s a lot of freakos there, how if they tailed you? What if something bad happens to you? Come on, you can pay back the initial investment which is not a lot. Or I can stop giving you that allowance money and use that instead? Baek, please?”
“What if you don’t get profit? What if you lose money?” Baekhyun crossed his hands in front of his chest.
“It’s okay, I can get it back in some ways. Come on, I'm good at this.”
“Chanyeol this makes me feel bad, it’s as if you buy me or something.”
“No, it’s not. Just remember, what’s more important? This money that you keep on gaining by sacrificing your study and potentially losing your chance of getting the scholarship for university, or just accept this and you can pay me back anytime?”
This was actually tempting, he really hated the job and he always wanted a normal life. Taking this offer will change his life but it didn’t feel right.
“I want to be a person that is on the same level as you in this relationship. I understand that you are my Alpha, but I don’t want to be in a relationship where I feel small.”
Then they went over it for an hour, Chanyeol make him understand about all of the things that he was going to do, at last Baekhyun was betting on it, he gave Chanyeol the emergency funds that he has, he will going to see how it will be in a month, and if it looked good than he will quit his job. This means Baekhyun will not owe Chanyeol anything.
The Alpha gave him a triumphant smile and he promised to give him all the details of the investment. He obviously will add the funds from his own pocket to make the omega gain more money, but he won’t tell Baekhyun that he did, he felt that if the omega knew about this, he’ll be screwed.
When Jongdae and Kyungsoo find out about it. They congratulated them and Kyungsoo slapped the back of Chanyeol’s head.
“You have to thank God it went well. If it’s me. You’re as good as dead. You are such a bastard for blackmailing him.” He said and Chanyeol hissed. Jongdae told him that he was pissed at first but Kyungsoo told him about Chanyeol's feelings towards Baekhyun, so he was not as mad and quietly supported them. Baekhyun whined at them because he felt this all was ridiculous, why did everyone know but not him?
Jongdae asked Chanyeol openly about Baekhyun’s situation and if he let the omega still work in the maid cafe and Chanyeol firmly said no. Baekhyun will quit soon in which Baekhyun just smiled at it. After his dad left him and his mom, he forgot how to live a life. He forgot how it felt not to have serious thoughts looming over him all the time and worked his ass off. He knew that Chanyeol might or might not be doing things with his money, or maybe inject more money to his investment so that he could gain more but he will turn a blind eye, because he just didn’t want to think anymore. Life was difficult and maybe it’s okay to trust another person.
After a month, it seemed that Chanyeol were right, he could stop working at the maid cafe, the investment interest could cover his salary working there and have a bit more spare, but he told Chanyeol he won’t stop tutoring because it was okay and it’s only 2 days in a week. Chanyeol let him because tutoring was not a bad job anyways.
Their relationship went strong even after some months. Baekhyun didn’t understand how he could be that lucky to bag an Alpha like Chanyeol. When Chanyeol was staring at him lovingly, when he always listened to his problems, when was being hugged in his warmth, Baekhyun felt he was really one lucky person. He just never knew that Chanyeol felt the same. The Alpha fell first in comparison to the omega anyways.
On one occasion when Chanyeol was bringing him to his family weekend getaway, he was also very welcomed. At first Baekhyun was jittery and scared of how the Alpha’s parents would react, especially as they were rich. Baekhyun was already feeling so small. But turned out his family was very low profile and humble, he was doted on right away. Partly they also felt proud of Chanyeol. Him taking boyfriends home meant that he grew up already, it was like another milestone of his in his parents eyes. And Yoora, as she got to know him earlier before their parents and already met up a couple of times before. She was very nice towards him and always defended him on any argument revolving around Chanyeol.
“Can you tell me why? Even back then when we were not real, why were you saying that I am your boyfriend as if it were real?” He asked Chanyeol when he was left alone with the Alpha. Chanyeol blushed, feeling bashful about how to answer it not in a hopeless romantic kind of way but he didn’t know how so he just blurted out.
“Because I want it to be real. Even if I don’t know yet if that was possible or not, at least I wanted to act as if it was. I never thought I would be together with you Baek.” Baekhyun then crawled to Chanyeol’s thighs as he was sitting on the edge of the bed. And the omega kissed him, softly on his lips. The Alpha was surprised but he embraced Baekhyun’s lower back on one hand and played with Baekhyun’s nape on the other while kissing him back.
“I love you.” Baekhyun said earnestly.
“And I love you too, little omega.”
