It was supposed to be a lazy day for Mingyu.

He opened the classroom message room on his phone and read that his professor canceled their class today due to her own personal matter, right after he opened his eyes in the morning. Mingyu was smiling brightly because, YES, who doesn't like canceled class? He wanted to stay in his bed for a little longer, cause last night, he finally could sleep at 3AM, but he was hungry.

Sometimes Mingyu really wanted to try to cook, it felt like he would like that activity but he rarely cooked -he rarely eats at his apartment, though, because of the reason you all already knew- so of course his refrigerator is almost empty. He wanted to order something on his phone but after several minutes of thinking, he decided to take a bath and went outside.

He somehow craved fresh and hot chocolate bread, and he knew where to buy such things. The bakery ten minutes away from his apartment building is the right place if you want very tasteful bread. He planned to stay there to start working on his abandoned assignment that sadly has a due date next Monday.

It was his plan today.

But when he reached that bakery and opened his laptop, he felt uneasy.

How is Wonwoo doing?

After their talk last Saturday, Mingyu did his best to keep his promise to his beautiful neighbor. He gave him his space because Mingyu could understand his point of view. It is indeed a very confusing thing for both of them. He tried his best not to bother Wonwoo with his pheromone, because for omega, it can be too much to handle.

Mingyu often went outside and did not come back to his apartment unit. When he was there and he could sense that Wonwoo was also in his unit, he tried to suppress his pheromone. But on the other hand, Wonwoo did not do the same. That guy and his amazing scent was still everywhere everytime Mingyu came back home. And that made Mingyu miss that guy so much.

He wanted to knock on his door so badly, to meet him, to talk to him.

But Mingyu is a man of his words.

He hates being someone who doesn't keep his promise.

So he held back, and just sent a message to his neighbor asking him about his dinner when he was out partying with his friends. Mingyu didn't expect that Wonwoo would be the one who sent him a message the next day in the morning. He asked why Mingyu wasn't coming home last night. It was so heartwarming for him, as if someone was waiting for him to come home. He loved that feeling he had that morning, he could smile all day long.

Mingyu misses Wonwoo, he wants to meet him so badly.

Maybe if he comes back to his apartment, they will meet accidentally in the lobby like any other day? With that thought in mind, Mingyu took his bread into a take away box and went outside the bakery.

He doesn't meet Wonwoo in the apartment lobby. It disappoints him.

So Mingyu walks lazily towards his apartment floor. When the lift is opened and he walks to his door, his body starts to freeze when a certain scent comes into his senses. He can perfectly smell an omega's pheromone. Of course, it's Wonwoo. But this kind of pheromone is different from his usual scent.

Wonwoo is in pain.

When his feelings tell him this, Mingyu's mind is all over the place. He walks faster to unit 805, and when he stands in front of it, the scent becomes too powerful that makes Mingyu feel unsteady on his feet.

This kind of scent.

Is Wonwoo on his heat?

Oh no, this is bad.

His alarm on his mind ringing hard. He needs to get out from that floor as fast as possible. This won't be good either for him, as an alpha, or for Wonwoo, as an unmarked omega.

Unmarked omega.

When he remembers that, he knows he can't leave that place. Because who will protect him? What if his smell is too strong it can lure any other alphas near this place. This thought makes Mingyu growl. He hates that idea so much.

Mingyu is conflicted, but as if to give him an answer, Mingyu hears Wonwoo's cries inside his apartment unit. His pheromone starts to soar more intensely, because Wonwoo starts to feel panic. It's crystal clear that Wonwoo is in bad condition, and someone needs to help him, someone needs to protect him in his most vulnerable moment.

And that someone is Mingyu.

So he starts to knock on that damn door and calls Wonwoo crazily.

The cries start to get louder, it sounds like a screaming for help, and Wonwoo's pheromone is getting out of control. Mingyu feels so panicked and worried, he crashes the door in front of him. When the door does not stand in the way between him and Jeon Wonwoo, he sees the man on the floor. He looks so helpless and weak, it breaks Mingyu's heart into pieces. Mingyu tries to help him to get up, but Wonwoo looks at him as if to stop him from coming near.

His teary beautiful eyes look at him so many things he tries to say at the same time but Mingyu can't really decipher it. He comes near to that man but he looks like wanting to come near to Mingyu or run away from the alpha's sight if it's possible. He looks so confused and panicked. His whole body is trembling and he hugs his stomach, it may be the place he feels the most hurt. Mingyu tries to make him understand that he isn't gonna hurt him in any way possible.

The idea of him hurting Wonwoo is never gonna be on his mind, in this life, and even in the life after.

"I'm not gonna hurt you, I promise." When Wonwoo hears his voice, Mingyu can see that his body starts to melt, it successfully starts to reduce the trembling. Mingyu smiles at him, reassures him. Mingyu starts to release his pheromone in the way of making this beautiful omega feel calm and protected.

And Mingyu is doing this by trying his best not to breathe, because when he smells more of Wonwoo's pheromone, he is so afraid that he will become the one who lost his mind here.

Wonwoo is still there.

His human side is still there, but he looks like he's gonna lose it anytime soon.

"Wonwoo, what can I do to help you?" Mingyu tries to touch him but Wonwoo scoots away. "I can't leave you alone, you need an alpha right now."

Wonwoo glares at him. Mingyu understands his way of thinking. "To protect you."

Once again, Mingyu tries to touch that man, and this time, he doesn't refuse. Mingyu touches his cheek, it burns . He is so hot. Mingyu closes his eyes, this omega in front of him, indeed on his way to his heat. Mingyu curses himself because he has very little experience with omega's heat. What can he do? But first of all, he can't be panicked.

Wonwoo bites his lips and looks at him with pleading eyes. "Kim Mingyu."

Mingyu takes his breath because he can't hold any longer, then he curses himself. He is praying to the sky that this event in front of him right now won't trigger his rut, because it will be the end of Kim Mingyu and Jeon Wonwoo if it happens. Because when Wonwoo is not in the condition where he can use his mind well, Mingyu must be the sane one here.

He's not gonna lie, he's so interested in Jeon Wonwoo. He can say that he likes him, in any mentally and physical ways possible.

Everything about that man intrigues him. He wants to do so many things with him, if he's allowed.

"Please." Wonwoo's crack voice takes Mingyu back to reality. "I don't want to do that, the thing that should be done with a clear mind and feeling." He cries prettily and Mingyu is really trying his best not to jump on this beautiful omega. "Don't do that to me, please. I beg you ."

Wonwoo is so terrified by the idea that Mingyu will be doing something to him that he might regret. And Mingyu understands, Wonwoo isn't an ordinary omega. He has this dignity that Mingyu loves so much.

"I beg you, Kim Mingyu. Don't take it away from me."

Mingyu looks at him deeply. Is he a virgin?

It's not about his virginity that Mingyu says yes to that man, but because he respects him so much and Mingyu isn't some jerk that likes to use the situation for his own benefit. Even though he knows perfectly, it's gonna be damn hard for him not to lose control in this kind of situation.

"I promise you, I won't take away anything from you."

Mingyu knows it's a hard promise, an arduous one. But he will try.

After getting the assurance he seeks, Wonwoo collapses in front of him. And Mingyu starts to panic again, what should he do?

He takes Wonwoo's body in his hold, Wonwoo isn't a kind of small omega but somehow he feels light and small in Mingyu's embrace. Mingyu looks around him and curses on his breath, again .

Why the fuck did he smash the door?

Now Wonwoo's is in the place where the safety is no longer a hundred percent. No choice, he needs to pass through his heat in Mingyu's place.

Mingyu walks faster towards his unit and to his bedroom, he lays Wonwoo on his bed and runs towards the front door to lock it. After doing that he takes out his phone and calls the only one who can help him in this situation.

Lee Jihoon.

Soonyoung's omega needs ten rings to finally pick up his phone. Mingyu is almost frustrated here.

"Ji!"

"Why are you calling me? It's so sudden. Soonyoung is not here."

Talking about Soonyoung. "I'm so sorry for the other days, and I'm also sorry I haven't gone to you or Soonyoung to apologize directly."

There is a loud silence from Jihoon's side. "Yeah, we have a lot of things to talk about."

Mingyu nods as if Jihoon can see that. "But, I have an emergency situation right now and you are the only one who can help me." Mingyu is panicking and Jihoon can hear that because suddenly his voice is also more tense.

"Not gonna lie, I start to feel nervous, Kim. Spill it out."

"You know, in my entire life, my experience to help an omega who is in their heat is almost zero." Mingyu looks at Wonwoo who looks so sick in his sleep. "So, Jihoon my friend, I need your help to tell me what I should do if I face that situation?"

"What?"

"You aren't hearing wrong, and I will tell you the details in another time, just tell me what should i do?"

Jihoon is silent again and Mingyu almost loses his patience. "Is it Wonwoo?"

Mingyu closes his eyes, he hates the fact that Jihoon is so smart! He can read anything.

"Yeah. Please don't tell Soonyoung about this, I'm not gonna hurt his friend."

Mingyu hears Jihoon sigh. "Have sex with him..." He pauses. "A lot."

Jihoon is helping him and also not helping him at the same time, of course he knows that to help an omega in their heat, an alpha must do a lot of sex with the omega. But that is something he needs to avoid, so he needs the other way. He tells Jihoon that he can't do that and after one full minute he starts to give him more useful information.

"Omega loves nesting when they are in their heat, go make comfortable things to nest. Does Wonwoo love your smell?" Jihoon asked.

Mingyu seriously has no idea on this question.

"Let's assume he loves it. If he doesn't love it he will kick you right away. So use your clothes, blanket, or whatever that contains your smell to be his nest. When omega nears an alpha's pheromones or the alpha himself - whose they like - on their heat, they will feel safe and it somehow can reduce the pain."

Mingyu smiles, he tries to imagine how Jihoon in his heat acts around Soonyoung.

"Don't imagine such unimportant things or I will cut this call!"

Does Jihoon can read minds? Geez, Soonyoung's boyfriend is so scary.

"I'm not thinking of anything, okay, next tips."

"Stock a lot of food, snacks, and water. Omegas on their heat will produce a lot of slick, and they will easily dehydrate, so water is a must."

Okay, noted.

Mingyu is absorbing this information way too seriously than the way he is absorbing information from his class.

"Wonwoo must have his medicine, if you don't know what it looks like, just take a picture to me and I will tell you which one he needs to consume."

Mingyu nods.

"If you can have sex with him, the period of heat can be done faster, but if you can't, it can happen for a whole week. So prepare yourself, you can't leave him alone. I will help you to buy food, snacks, and water, but I can't come closer. I can't stand yours and Wonwoo's pheromones. So I will leave the stuff in the lobby. Don't forget to cover Wonwoo's pheromone with yours whenever you want to leave him even though it's only for a short time."

Mingyu already knows that he won't leave Wonwoo alone.

"Then, the most important thing." Jihoon sounds more tense and serious and Mingyu feels nervous all of sudden.

"Don't go into a rut."

***

Jihoon is really helping him a lot.

He sends the food and water's stock right away, while Mingyu is doing his homework . He makes that nesting place from his clothes, takes Wonwoo's medicine from his unit, covers up the air with his pheromone so Wonwoo's pheromone can be hidden a little. Wonwoo hasn't woken up yet, but he looks more peaceful in his sleep when Mingyu leaves him a little to take the food and water stock from the lobby.

When Mingyu is back in his apartment unit, his heart almost stops beating when he sees that Wonwoo is no longer on his bed. He feels so panicked, he starts running all over his place to find him. His bathroom - none, his living room -none, his kitchen -none. Where is he?

Perhaps.

Mingyu runs toward his closet, he has a big closet, almost as big as his bathroom because he loves to shop. He has a lot of clothes, so having a big closet is a must. He was making a nest for Wonwoo, there .

When he opens the door, the bland of rich vanilla and warm coconut, a slight fragrance of aloe vera, lily of the valley, and chamomile welcomes him. He smiles at the scent but freezes at the sight.

Wonwoo is naked, there is no single string on his body, curls up in his nest.

Mingyu looks at his omega's body and he suddenly feels hard to breathe. It is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. Wonwoo's skin is so smooth, fair, and clean, his body is so perfectly shaped, the way his shoulders are so broad (not as broad as Mingyu, but still) but his waist is so slender. It is so sinful in its own way. Mingyu tries his best not to look at his ass and his... Mingyu sighs and looks up, then he sees his eyes... Those eyes are looking at Mingyu right now. It is seducing him in the way he never felt before from any omegas he ever met.

Then Mingyu's eyes run into his plumped pink lips.

"Alpha."

His lips are calling him and Mingyu doesn't know how far his sanity will help him to not break his promise. This is the hardest thing Mingyu ever encountered in his life.

"No, Wonwoo. You don't want this."

Mingyu tries to remind him.

"I really love your smell." He says something that successfully makes Mingyu feel like he's on cloud nine. Mingyu smiles at him and Wonwoo smiles back at him. But his smiles broke and his face wincing in pain a second later.

Wonwoo starts to cry again and holds his stomach. The pain from before is coming back again. "It hurts so bad and everything is hot."

"You need to take your medicine."

Mingyu runs to the living room and takes Wonwoo's medicine. Jihoon has already approved it before. It is supposed to be the same medicine that Jihoon often takes. He comes back to Wonwoo who is already a crying mess because... maybe the pain is unbearable. Why does omega need to face this? It's so unfair.

Mingyu comes closer to give the medicine to Wonwoo, he gulps the water and medicine easily. The thing that is not easy is how close Mingyu and Wonwoo are right now, Mingyu's face is an inch away from Wonwoo and the pheromone Wonwoo's releasing is not helping at all. All of Mingyu's senses start to open and he can hear how loud Wonwoo's heartbeat is. His eyes are locked on Wonwoo's face, on his dark eyes, his pointed nose, his rosy cheek, and his red and plump lips where he wants to kiss so badly.

No, he can't do this. If he starts this, he's gonna break his promise to Wonwoo.

Mingyu tries his best to stay in control and moves back, but Wonwoo comes faster. He pecks Mingyu's lips. It's only a peck but the wall inside Mingyu is crumbling. The eyes in front of him looking at him almost innocently, Mingyu starts to shiver. The taste of Wonwoo's lips even though it's only one second is so good to him we wants to taste more. He comes closer and kisses those beautiful lips even though the alarm rings so loudly on his head.

The kisses start slowly, he wants to devour his lips, every inch of it. It tastes so good, Mingyu wants to do this all his life, to kiss Wonwoo and to be kissed by that man. Mingyu doesn't know from where Wonwoo learns to kiss but he is naturally good at kissing, so does Mingyu. So the slow kisses turn into a passionate one.

Mingyu is suddenly on top of a naked Wonwoo and kisses him brutally, they bite each other's lips and their tongue is everywhere playing their games. When Wonwoo moans, he really lost his mind here. The hotness of Wonwoo's body rubs on him because he feels so hot too.

He notices that he is hard already and what he feels below the omega's body is not helping at all. He is hard too and his slick is everywhere, wetting the nest that was built from Mingyu's clothes. He will shop a lot after this because there is no way he's gonna use these clothes outside where Wonwoo's pheromone is all over it.

Mingyu breaks their kiss because he and Wonwoo need to take a breath, he inhales and that damn warm coconut and lily thing surrounding him makes him go dizzy in a very good way. He lands his lips on Wonwoo's pheromone glands. He wants to bite it so badly, leave a mark there, making Wonwoo fully his, but the crying Wonwoo begging him to not do that comes to mind.

So at the end, he only kisses it.

To hold himself, he grabs the pillows around them that he brought here before and bites it. He bites hard until it damages the texture of his nice pillow. But he doesn't care anymore.

When he is trying his best to control his own desire, he feels Jeon fucking Wonwoo is already doing something that's gonna make his task ten thousand harder. He moves his body and rubs their hard cocks in a steady pace and Mingyu is still fully clothed.

One, two, three...

He is now doing it faster as if he tries to seek for his own release. This feels so damn good. Mingyu wants to cry. The omega is a messy wet with his slicks and his pre-cum in his tips of cock. Mingyu touches Wonwoo's neck and starts to kiss him eagerly again. While Mingyu is busy kissing that man. Wonwoo's free hand is also busy removing Mingyu's clothes and pants. Mingyu is letting him do whatever he wants. When they both finally bare naked in this narrow place, Wonwoo is smiling prettily to him.

This is Wonwoo but isn't also Wonwoo at the same time.

"Wonwoo, please, don't make it harder for me."

Wonwoo is now working his way on his bare chest, he bites Mingyu's chest and Mingyu doesn't know how to breathe. Oh damn, this is so heavenly and they don't even do anything further, yet. He keeps biting here and there, this beautiful omega who is now changing turn with him to be on top of the alpha really loves to bite. As if he is a toddler who starts to learn how to bite.

He licks, kisses, and bites Mingyu's neck, chest, stomach, thigh, and when he is so close to Mingyu's most sensitive part. The alpha stops him.

"No."

Wonwoo looks at him with puppy eyes. Mingyu wants to scream, how can he reject a beautiful man who wants to give him a blowjob?

Mingyu is still here, he's not yet losing his control over his own mind and body and that makes it then thousand harder than it supposed to be.

"Stop when I tell you to stop." Mingyu commands him and Wonwoo smiles happily.

He starts to take that big thing into his mouth and Mingyu literally feels in heaven. This feels like ecstasy. Wonwoo's mouth is so hot and small, but he tries his best to put Mingyu's big cock in that small place. When he starts to use his tongue, Mingyu is almost losing his mind.

But he can't!

He can't break his promise to Wonwoo.

He won't take away anything from a beautiful man named Jeon Wonwoo, if that man wants to take everything that Kim Mingyu has, let him be . But he's not gonna do anything further than this.

So to make him stay here, Mingyu starts to think about anything sad and his parents face suddenly pops out on his mind. What a pathetic thing to do! But he can't lose his mind over here.

"Father, mother, I'm sorry. I'm a bad son." He starts to talk nonsense just to distract himself from how good Wonwoo is doing to his cock right now.

Wonwoo laughs while hearing that and the vibration of his laughs almost makes him cum. Damn it!

"OH NO NO, get out of that!" Mingyu feels it, he will come in any second. Why is he the one who comes first right now when the omega is the one who needs it the most?

Wonwoo is a naughty omega, because he doesn't obey Mingyu's word. He keeps licking, kissing, and sucking his member. Mingyu needs to force that man to stop. He pulls Wonwoo's body from his cock and gives him a rough kiss as a distraction. It is when he releases his cum over their body, making everything more wetter and stickier.

"This is crazy." Mingyu tells himself and looks at the omega who is looking at him naughtily. "Your turn!"

Mingyu pushes back Wonwoo on his back and crawls below him. He takes his cock on his mouth and does the stuff Wonwoo did to him not too long ago. Once again, he tries his best not to breathe too often because whenever he breathes, Wonwoo's pheromone is so ready to take full control of his sanity. But it's hard.

He looks above and sees the man closing his eyes and murmuring something. "Alpha... more... give me more... nghhh.."

Jihoon is right, they need to have sex, and because they can't. At least this can do.

Wonwoo is releasing his cum not too long after that and Mingyu thinks it will be over but no.. the night is still young. They suck each other's cocks, when their mouth is exhausted, they use their hands. Wonwoo is not tired yet and somehow Mingyu's hardness is never calming down at the sight of this beautiful omega.

Mingyu comes back to kiss Wonwoo because he feels addicted to it already when he feels Wonwoo rubs his hard cock again on him. They hump on each other and this beautiful omega is whimpering and moaning at the same time, it feels like a melody to Mingyu's ear. He wants to hear this often.

Wonwoo stops whatever they are doing and moves away, Mingyu doesn't understand but he doesn't say anything, just watch him lay on his stomach and lift his ass up into the air. Mingyu's eyes get bigger at the sight of Wonwoo's wet holes puckering at him. It seduces him and begs the alpha to put something bigger into that hole.

"Alpha... Put it in, it's so ready to take you. Knot me, please."

The question makes Mingyu open his eyes in horror.

Of course! Of course he wants it too. His cock is aching so bad. He wants to fuck him until they both lost their sanity. But he can't. They can't do that.

"No."

Wonwoo is whining and begs him with his eyes. "Please, alpha. Put it inside me."

Mingyu touches his face from behind and Wonwoo melts on his touches. "No, beautiful. I already made a promise not to do anything to you. What we're doing right now is enough, ok?"

Mingyu comes closer to him and kisses his bare shoulder lovingly.

All his feelings are there when he kisses Wonwoo and he wants Wonwoo t0 understand that what Mingyu is doing right now is his best effort to fulfill his promise but also at the same time helps Wonwoo to pass through his heat moments.

The omega cries when he learns that he is being rejected by the alpha. Mingyu knows the one who cries is Wonwoo's inner omega but he still feels so bad. He needs to do something to make Wonwoo's inner omega feel happier.

Mingyu attaches the omega's thighs and inserts his hard cock between it, still from behind. He doesn't do the real penetration but he hopes this act can make the omega know he isn't being rejected by the alpha. Then when he hears the omega moans, he starts moving his hips at a fast pace. His cock is rubbing with the omega's hardening cock from behind, the tightness from the omega's thigh (which can't be compared with his hole, Mingyu knows) makes him feel good too. And somehow it also makes Wonwoo feel good. He lays the back of his head on Mingyu's shoulder while closing his eyes and biting his lips. He has completely lost it and does whatever his basic instinct tells him to do and feel.

"Alpha, faster..." He begs and the alpha does whatever his beautiful omega wants him to do, as long as not a request to put his aching cock to his reddened hole that is currently releasing so much of his slicks that makes Mingyu almost lose himself. The scent is too strong from there.

After thrusting hard his cock in between Wonwoo's thighs for almost ten minutes, they both reach their cum, almost together.

Both Mingyu and Wonwoo pant hard and collapse on the comfortable nest. Mingyu is sure they will repeat this activity almost everyday until Wonwoo's heat is over.

Wonwoo's heat lasts for more than five days.

Mingyu abandons his study because Wonwoo's condition is the most important to him. Thanks to Jihoon, he and Wonwoo can eat enough for the past five days. Mingyu is so tired but he is okay. His state of mind is so exhausted because he really tried to be in control all the time. He holds back crazily, he never knew he could do this much of self control. Maybe because he likes Wonwoo so much he respects what he wants before he went into a vulnerable side where he can't control his own desire and mind because it was natural for them as an alpha or omega whenever they fell into rut or heat.

In the past five days, he needs to stay alert. He doesn't want to not notice if Wonwoo feels pain or sick.

His closet, where Wonwoo's nest was built up, is a mess . Even though they took a bath often, they did the things to get released also... too often. Mingyu felt like they both didn't need any pair of clothes these past five days. But eventually, Wonwoo's condition was getting better day by day and Mingyu was relieved that he didn't need to go into penetration to make Wonwoo feel good. He could say that he and Wonwoo have a matching energy when it comes to getting satisfied with each other.

And one thing, Mingyu is really addicted to Wonwoo. He wants to kiss him every time he can. His lips really did something bad to his sanity and his heart. And his body, now Mingyu sees everything, is a work of art. Mingyu wants to worship and devour it at the same time. This body, only he can see that, he will make sure of it.

By every time they spend their time together, Mingyu's possession over the omega named Jeon Wonwoo is getting bigger and deeper. He wants him, and he doesn't need a reason behind his desire.

He just wants him, so bad.

After this passed, Mingyu made a self note to buy a lot of new pillows because he damaged all of his pillows. He always wants to bite or leave a mark on Wonwoo's body, but he can't. So he channeled his desire to his poor pillows.

Yesterday, they finished almost at 5AM and Mingyu was so damn tired, so he fell asleep. He didn't need his sleeping pill anymore because Wonwoo was near him. He could sleep fine as long as he could smell that scent. Wonwoo is his medicine he is forever grateful for.

When he wakes up the first thing he sees is Wonwoo's eyes looking at him in silence, Mingyu is worrying that Wonwoo might feel pain again so he wakes from his position on their nest to search for a medicine but a hand holds him to stay in his position.

"What's wrong, Wonwoo?"

Wonwoo comes close to him and curls up into his embrace. Not too long, Mingyu can hear Wonwoo crying. But this time, it sounds different. He isn't crying because he is in pain or sad, moreover he sounds like he is relieved. It is also crystal clear from his scent.

"Jeon Wonwoo?"

"Thank you for not taking that away from me."

Day six after Wonwoo lost his mind, he is back with a mind full of gratitude toward the alpha he hugs tight right now.

In the end, Mingyu is a man of his words.

He keeps his promise to Wonwoo even though the process of it kills him slowly.

To be continued
