Collared - A 17 Alpha/Omega Story

10 - Seokmin

Seokmin

Seokmin slowly stretches out as he wakes up. The room is large but it is entirely lit so he knows it must be morning or somewhere close to midday. Once his long legs are pushed outwards to stretch his legs he feels himself accidentally kick something off the bed. He sits straight up in bed and stands up. He looks down at the floor and sees that he had been left more clothes by Jihoon on the end of his bed: which is what he managed to kick onto the floor. It is more black jeans but a pastel blue T-shirt. It is a larger size again and he assumes it is more of Jihoon's clothes based on the strong scent that lingers on the fabric. He pulls them on and enjoys how soft and comfy they are. He glances into the mirror on the back of his door and noticed his hair is sticking up everywhere. He has not felt comfortable enough to ask Jihoon if he can use his shower yet so he just runs his hands through it to flatten it down a bit before leaving his room.

He walks down the hallways until he reaches Jihoon's room. He knocks lightly on the door, he wants to thank him for the clothes and ask permission to eat. There is no answer so he cautiously opens the door. It is a bit of a shock looking at the much darker decor in comparison to his softer blue room. But there is still no Jihoon so he heads back out and closes the door before going downstairs.

He glances in each of the rooms trying to find Jihoon. He eventually finds him sitting in the kitchen reading a book. He looks up when Seokmin walks in and nods slightly before pushing some cereal across the table. Seokmin smiles a little to himself that the Alpha thought of him and wanted to make him breakfast. He is glad that Jihoon is so kind, it almost makes him happy. He starts eating it and is glad that his hunger has been satisfied. He glances at the box of cereal that is still on the kitchen table and remembers it to ensure he can eat it again.

"Do you like tea or coffee?" Jihoon asks getting up to grab some mugs and make both drinks. Seokmin thinks for a moment back to before he went in the centre when he may have had those drinks. The memories are fuzzy and Seokmin can not make sense of any of it.

"I can't remember," he shrugs. Jihoon seems unbothered and just continues to make both of them. He puts both mugs in front of Seokmin with a warning to leave them for a while so that he won't burn his tongue. He takes a sip of the tea and kind of likes it but finds he coffee far too bitter. So Jihoon drinks the rest of the coffee and Seokmin enjoys his tea.

Seokmin watches as Jihoon finishes the coffee quickly, his mind clearly elsewhere, as he slowly nurses his still hot tea.

"Come to the studio when you're done," Jihoon suggests and waits for Seokmin to nod before putting his mug in the sink and leaving the room with a glance back at the Omega.

Seokmin takes a little over a minute to finish his tea, he really likes it as it warms his frail body. He is normally cold all the time so he is glad to have something that seems to warm him from the inside out. Once he drinks the last bit, he gets up and follows what Jihoon did earlier and puts his mug in the sink.

He leaves and heads towards the studio. He is unsurprised to see Jihoon at the computer working but is shocked to see how stressed the man looks. As Jihoon is often a man of calm and collected nature, it is strange to see him so obviously bothered. It is the most emotion he has seen out of his Alpha so far and it is a little uncomfortable for Seokmin to see him like this.

Getting a little closer, Seokmin can see that the song he heard yesterday is in lyric form on the desktop.

"Are you okay?" Seokmin ventures cautiously. Jihoon looks over his shoulder suddenly, he had clearly been so wrapped up in his work that he had not heard his Omega come in. He smiles slightly and his worried frown from before straightens out.
