Work Text:
The K-pop industry was a way for alphas, betas and omegas to show the regular people that they could live in a peaceful society. Forget dominance and submission. It's the modern era and many omegas and betas are rising to CEO positions.
There was no longer any discrimination against what one's secondary gender is... is what an ideal society would be. In reality, many still preferred having alphas as the ones at the top of the hierarchy. Well, many alphas prefer that. It's an almost impossible task to try and change everyone's perspective on what was supposed to be a predetermined hierarchy.
So, even in the K-pop industry, though it's not so clear-cut, many leaders of K-pop groups are alphas, some cases being betas. Most chosen purely because of their secondary gender, while some alpha leaders just so happened to be alphas. It was easier having an alpha as the leader. No pesky heats to take care of. Less lustful eyes staring at them 24/7 as they put themselves in the spotlight. No tensions within the group over who is in charge. It was just a lot more convenient. Especially if we are to look at the more popular boy bands. Most of their leaders are all alphas. It was an unspoken fact but everyone was more or less aware of it.
Then comes in ENHYPEN. A young, up and coming boy band that started with a few members not even presenting yet. The group debuted with 2 alphas (Sunghoon and Jay), 3 betas (Sunoo, Jake and Heeseung) while Niki and Jungwon hadn't presented yet.
Hence, when Jungwon was appointed to become the leader, it was a gamble. No one knew whether the boy was going to be an alpha, beta or omega.
He's strong and knew how to lead a team. He's a mediator in arguments and knew his place. He's cute, dainty and lovable. Jungwon was just a whole set of positive attributes.
But deep down inside, there was a pressure welling up inside Jungwon. All the other successful boy groups had alphas as leaders.
What if he presented as anything but alpha?
What if he couldn't lead ENHYPEN?
He didn't want to know. He had to be an alpha.
But after he turned 18, Jungwon's worst nightmare came true.
He was an omega.
The boy who rarely cries sobbed silently that day, cursing himself for turning out to be an omega.
Jungwon was scared.
What if because of his secondary nature, he'll start becoming less of a leader? What if he starts becoming inferior, submissive to his more dominant members?
What if they no longer see him as their Jungwon?
And so, Jungwon requested (more like begged) to the company that it be kept a secret that he was an omega from the media and his own band members. Only the company staff and his family knew the truth.
Thus, Jungwon continued his role as the leader as a beta. It was a more believable story. He didn't have a clue how to pretend to be an alpha anyways.
It was a burdensome secret to keep. Especially being a young omega with inconsistent heats.
When the older members start emitting their pheromones, it takes a lot of effort for Jungwon not to purr and jump on their laps.
Jungwon survives by wearing scent blockers.
Although, there was one time where he forgot to put it on which lead to someone asking him whether he put on any perfume. Of course, he lied, said yes and that he was trying something new. If they had payed close attention to Jungwon, it was an easy lie to spot. Perfume makes Jungwon's head hurt.
Nevertheless, Jungwon manages to carry the act on for a while.
⋆｡‧˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚‧｡⋆
Jungwon thinks he's safe until he wakes up to find his underwear wet and sticky. His body feels like it's on fire in spite of the winter weather outside.
He jolts into an upright position and quickly scans the room. He must've woken up late because none of his roommates are even inside.
They didn't see him in this state, right?
A knock on the door, "Jungwon? You up?"
It's Jay's voice.
Jungwon, with great effort, gets up and slowly locks the door, praying Jay didn't notice the lock twist.
"Yes, hyung. I'm feeling feverish so I don't think I can attend the shoot today," the younger says in a raspy voice.
"Shoot, you sound terrible. You want me to make you something to eat?" The door knob twists. "Won-ah, open the door please."
"Ah, hyung, really, it's okay! I don’t want you catching it, especially during this period," Jungwon reasons, "I just really want ro rest right now if you don't mind."
He swears he could hear Jay sigh from the other side of the door.
But how could he say no to Jungwon?
"Alright, got it. I'll inform the other members and mananger-nim. Take care, Jungwon-ah."
Their manager can read between the lines. Jungwon will be fine.
With that, Jungwon collapses back onto his bed, drowning in heavy breathing as the fever goes into full throttle. It was as if it was waiting for Jungwon to stop talking to Jay to actually hit. To make matters worse, there's a sharp pain on the left side of his head.
Yes, there was no doubt. Jungwon was in his heat.
He's never spent his heat in the dorm before, always opting to go to a hotel or spend it in one of the company's heat rooms. It was too much work having to clean up after his heat.
But this heat was different. It was only the start but Jungwon feels like he's about to die.
His headache growing stronger by the minute and he swears he's going to puke.
Embarrassingly, slick was pouring out nonstop so he tries to close his legs. But his legs just kept shaking.
Jungwon knew it was impossible to make it to another room without him fainting.
He was too exhausted to care though. With that, he lets his heavy eyelids close.
⋆｡‧˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚‧｡⋆
ENHYPEN finished filming a new episode of en-oclock despite their leader's absence.
Even though it's their first time without him, they'd be lying if they said they didn't miss his presence.
That being said, after their manager drops them off at their dorm, as hungry young adults, they decide they'd go out for some BBQ before heading home.
Jay, being the overprotective hyung that he is, declines the invite, too worried about Jungwon's state.
As Jay opens the front door, a wave of cherry scent fills his nose.
He steps inside and the scent is so suffocating, he uses his shirt to cover his nose.
"Jungwon?" Jay calls out. No response.
He checks the younger's room but he's nowhere to be found.
He checks Heeseung's room. Perhaps he wanted a more private room. Still, he's not there.
Lastly, Jay checks his own room.
Low and behold, there Yang Jungwon was, in the centre of the nest he built on Jay's bed, fingers shoved deep inside him.
The young man is so desperate to satiate his sexual desire, he doesn't even realise Jay's salivating at the sight.
Jungwon only notices when Jay lets out his own scent.
Jungwon pulls his fingers out with a squeal and his face falls flat onto the pillow.
To say that he was shocked was an understatement.
Hurriedly, the younger lifts himself up and hides his body shamefully with a blanket. Although hiding couldn't bring back his modesty after what Jay witnessed him doing.
Jungwon blinks at him with widened cat eyes like a deer caught in headlights.
Both stay silent for a second before Jay coughs awkwardly, "Um... so, why are you on my bed?"
"Um..."
"Wait. More importantly, why did you build a nest when you're a beta-"
Then, the dots start to connect.
"You're not a beta,"
Jay walks closer and Jungwon cringes away.
"You're an omega."
Jungwon whines.
The scent of Jungwon's slick, the pheromones being released from Jay: it was all too much. The tension in the air was so thick you could cut through it with a knife.
"Say, Jungwon-ah. Do the staff know about this?"
Jungwon refuses to respond. He's far too embarrassed. He doesn't trust himself to reply intelligently.
Instead, Jay walks forward and takes a hold of Jungwon's chin, forcing the younger to look at him.
"Jungwon-ah, answer hyung."
Jay's eyes stare into Jungwon's like a predator with his prey. Jungwon's smart enough to know not to anger his hyung so he replies a meek yes.
"Do the other members know? Why don't I know? How long have you been hiding this? Wait, why are you even hiding this? Are you okay? Do you want me to get help?"
The continuous questions from Jay makes Jungwon's headache worsen. Jungwon feels like the sexy atmosphere is long gone, now replaced by the voice of some nagging uncle. Jay goes on and on about something and if Jungwon's being honest, he's rather annoyed by this.
Why can't Jay just shut up and fuck him like a good alpha?
He's basically vulnerable and naked, free for the taking and yet Jay's more worried about the details.
Oh, screw the details!
"Shut up," Jungwon hisses as he pulls Jay onto the bed with him.
Jay's body has no choice but to fall on top of Jungwon's, pinning the smaller down.
"W-wait!" Jay tries to stop Jungwon as the younger's hands starts feeling up his body.
"What is it, hyung?" Jungwon groans.
"Are you sure you want to spend your heat with me?"
Jungwon blinks and laughs.
It's like music to Jay's ears.
"Who else would I want to spend it with other than you?"
Jay feels his heart stop.
"Don't regret it," the older states.
"I've never regretted doing anything with you."
That's all Jay needs to hear before he unbuckles his belt before Jungwon's restless hands start trying to pull down the older’s pants down.
They're messy, too drunk on lust.
But, the couple manages to get Jay's boxers off to reveal his large veiny cock.
It's dripping with precum and standing proud.
The young omega can't help but drool.
He's sure that he wants that cock in him.
Jay curiously inserts a finger into Jungwon's pink hole, and there's a loud squelching sound because of how wet Jungwon is.
The older pumps in and out, his effort rewarded by the pretty moans Jungwon lets out.
Jay's not doing much. He's simply experimenting with Jungwon's hot body but the younger looks so out of it already.
Sweaty hair pushed back as his head falls backwards, his eyes closed shut as he manages the pleasure being inflicted on him. His white dainty hands gripping the sheets, knuckles turning red.
Sexy was an understatement.
"Hyung," Jungwon whines, grabbing at Jay's wrist, "Hurry up and fuck me."
As if Jay could ever say no to Jungwon.
Jay pumps his veiny, hard cock and Jungwon gawks.
"That can't fit me!"
"I'll make sure it fits."
Hard, veiny and leaking, Jay's cock slowly pushing through Jungwon's pink entrance.
"How are you still so tight even with all this slick?" Jay hisses out.
"Shut up," Jungwon's embarrassed because Jay has only put the tip in and he feels like he's about to come.
It felt too good.
They both give a loud moan when Jay manages to bottom out.
It took a bit of effort from the two but somehow, the fit felt perfect.
It was like Jay was meant to fuck him.
Jungwon felt so full and his omega was screaming in joy.
"Please move, hyung."
Jay doesn't say anything and starts thrusting roughly into Jungwon.
The younger's small body shakes due to the pressure. His back arches but Jay's hands pin him down by the waist. It's an easy feat considering how tiny Jungwon's waist was.
In fact, compared to Jay, he just seemed so much smaller. His waist, his cock, his hands... they were all so petite.
Jay just had to ruin him, mark Jungwon's waist with handprints, make Jungwon's tiny cock bounce pathetically and make Jungwon's docile hands search for his big ones.
Jay wanted to take everything Jungwon could give him.
There was the man he's been lusting for as long as he could ever remember, under him, moaning his name. It was better than any wet dream he's had before.
"You like that?"
"Yes, hyung! Faster please," Jungwon responds stupidly, fucked out of his mind already.
"Hm... should I? I think you just want a quick fuck out of me because of your heat."
Jungwon cries, teary eyes pleading with Jay to pick up his pace. Jungwon starts begging him, spewing out nonsense, whatever he can do to make Jay stop his slow thrusts.
Finally, Jay starts thrusting in and out of Jungwon at an inhumane pace. His dick was so big and deep inside of Jungwon, the younger swears his belly had formed a bulge. But he doesn't have the time to properly examine himself because at the rate Jay was going, Jungwon was losing his mind. He was being fucked senseless.
"Can anyone else fuck you as good as me?"
"No! Only you!" Jungwon manages to mewl out, head leaned back into the pillow.
"Would any alpha be okay for you, slut?"
"No! I only want you, hyung!"
Jay's eyebrow raises and with a smirk he answers, "Aren't the others hyung too? Jungwon-ah, do you really need me?"
Like a good omega, Jungwon stretches his legs farther for Jay.
"Only you, alpha. Please fuck me!"
How could Jay refuse that offer when Jungwon looked so pretty?
The omega had been fucked stupid.
He's covered in sweat but it makes his milky white skin shimmer like the ethereal being he is. His nipples are pink and swollen from the sucking Jay inflicted on them. His lips chapped and wet, chin sticky with drool. Not to mention the way Jungwon's tight hole twitches with each thrust.
Because of Jungwon's heat, the amount of slick produced from his hole was a lot and made it a lot easier to enter in and out. And Jay was having the time of his life doing so. He must be sick in the head as he relished in the disgusting sounds Jungwon's slick and his precum made together.
Inside Jungwon's hole, it was so damn hot. Literally and figuratively. Jay guesses it's from the younger's heat but the way Jungwon's insides just tighten around him every few seconds makes him nearly come.
And so, when Jungwon thought it was impossible, Jay gets faster and Jungwon screams. It's all too much. It's almost like Jay's in a rut. Forget Jungwon's heat, Jay was losing control over himself.
Sex shouldn't be this addictive.
"Alpha, 'm gonna come!"
"Me too, baby. Where do you want alpha to come?"
"Inside! Please come inside!" Jungwon begs as his delicate fingers hold his belly.
He looks so cute doing so yet so sinful.
With a last deep thrust into Jungwon, Jay comes with a heavy groan and Jungwon screams as comes too.
"That's it. Come for me, you're such a good omega, Jungwon."
If Jungwon felt full before, he felt like he was going to vomit now.
Jungwon whimpers as Jay slowly pulls out. The older collapses beside him and they both lay in the sounds of their panting.
Jungwon's body still feels hot from his heat but ironically, he feels a lot more refreshed. It was as if he had just destressed. Sex during your heat really was the way to go... he should ask Jay to do it with him more.
What?
What was Jungwon saying? Now that he's really think things through, his band member just found out his deepest secret and he just had sex with said band member.
Jungwon tilts his head to look at Jay properly and he finds the older already staring at him, he quickly looks away, cheeks getting warmer. He feels so silly acting shy right after they've had sex but it's not Jungwon's fault that the reality of what they did just set in.
Of course Jay has to chuckle at his reaction.
"You make me insane. You're cute, Won-ah."
"Stop it." Jungwon wants to hide from his hyung but Jay only pulls him closer.
They're sticky and gross so Jungwon tries to pull away but Jay doesn't relent.
Already given up, Jungwon changes his position so that he can look at Jay properly. The younger's cat-like eyes look into Jay's and he can feel butterflies in his stomach again.
They're so close to each other, faces inches apart from touching. Jungwon only then realises that although they've had sex, they haven't kissed yet. The young omega stares at Jay's chapped lips and leans in.
Contrasting to their earlier behaviour, the kiss is sweet and gentle, full of pure love. It was like fireworks had burst in Jungwon's dumb omega brain because this was everything he's ever wanted and needed. In the arms of his new lover, lips to lips, Jungwon felt so safe during his most vulnerable period. The warmth of his heat now replaced by the warmth from the man he admired so much.
They pull away, albeit reluctantly, connected for another second by a string of saliva. They stare at each other in silence for a bit, content and savouring each other's company.
It was in that moment that the pair could really appreciate each other's scent. With Jungwon always wearing scent blockers, his aroma was to die for.
It was exactly as expected from the omega: strawberries in a field of flowers. The sweetest, richest and purest smell of strawberries Jay had experienced. It was addicting. It was almost like Jay could imagine the both of them far way from their dorm, laying on a field of roses and tulips, basking under the winter sun.
It was so different from how Jay smelled. Jay smelled like fresh waffles on a rainy day — like comfort and, home. While Jungwon smelled of tulips, Jay smelled like chamomile: the scent of a true alpha. He was everything to Jungwon. Jay was his reassurance, his solace and alleviation.
Jungwon felt so seen and heard even when nothing was being said. Why was he so afraid in the first place? If he had just told Jay his worries, would he still have hidden the truth? Why did Jungwon force himself to suffer in silence when there was someone beside him to help? There was someone to make him feel okay about himself.
"I love you," Jungwon blurts out.
Jay blinks before smiling. He gives Jungwon that smile he knows all too well — the one that holds so much adoration.
"I love you too. I love you because you are you. I couldn't care less whether you're an omega or a beta. Heck, you could be an alpha and I would still love you."
Jungwon feels regretful. There's so many missed opportunities of when he could've found comfort in Jay's scent and words.
At least Jungwon knows now. He's loved as an omega. He's loved as who is is. He'll figure out what do later but right now, the couple close their eyes.
In every lifeline, Jungwon's certain that he's laying in Jay's arms because nothing can get better than this.
