— CHAPTER 1 —
The Enhypen dorms were always a chaotic mess. There wasn't a single day which would go by neatly and organised. Someone had to be shouting or screaming or just about anything to get the poor leader's head into a scrambled mess. Jungwon woke up at 5:30 am to the sound of very loud rustling. Are you kidding me!? The alpha thought, exasperated in his head. Who could be so noisy at such an unholy hour in the morning. Their schedules started in approximately two hours and the least the group could do was squeeze in some sleep before having to lug on throughout the day all the way to late night again.
Jungwon groaned into his pillow and dragged himself out of the bed as the rustling continued. As he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and fixed his hair as best he could so he didn't look like he didnt get enough sleep the night prior, a muffled sound much like a whine was heard. And suddenly the leader was very much awake and alarmed. The group consisted of three alphas and four omegas and if Jungwon was right, no one's heat was supposed to be coming in right now. Right???... Not bothering to slip on a simple shirt, Jungwon opened his door quietly and made his way to the room where he assumed the noise was coming from. "Hyung?" He knocked softly. Another muffled whine was heard and Jungwon opened the door. The sight he saw was something so intimate and tender he felt like he shouldn't have walked into this at all. Maybe it was better to stay in bed till the bustling chaos began. With Heeseung laying on his side, completely flushed and naked with only a blanket covering his lower hips, eyes shut tight and head angled towards the pillow he was holding close to his chest. Maybe he hasn't noticed I walked in.. normally Jungwon would've been accustomed to walking in on any member from the group whether alphas or omegas, mostly naked like that but this was different. It was his heeseung hyung. A few months ago Jungwon would've walked in casually and nudged heeseung to ask if he needed some tea or anything. Not anymore though.. now heeseung was a pretty deer who was too dainty to touch and too pretty to ignore. just seeing him like this made Jungwon swallow down hard, his adam's apple bobbing with effort.
Heeseung squirmed under the sheets clearly at unease. He was in heat. But wasn't there a few more weeks till Heeseung had his heat? Okay, call it weird that Jungwon knew all the omega's heat schedules and dates but as the leader alpha, he couldn't let the omegas in heat miss out on important schedules which meant he had to use the other hyung's and managers help to organise things perfectly. Thankfully the schedules this week weren't going to be such a bother for anyone, as their comeback advertising had only just finished a couple days back they got a chill week full of light practice sessions and meetings to discuss ideas for the new concept. If Heeseung was in pre-heat then Jungwon could call Jay or Sunghoon to help the omega. Wait... No.. not Jay. Not Sunghoon either. Just me- I can help him.
Jungwon had to mentally slap himself and muttered out loud "n-no don't think like that", and that's when Heeseung's eyes fluttered open and as soon as the oldest's large soft eyes fixed on the younger, a dark red blush covered his cheeks and Heeseung opened his mouth to say anything, something, but Jungwon was already closing the door startled and alarmed. The leader almost started running back to his room his strides long and hurried, shutting the door behind him and now breathing heavily not because the run or walk back to the room had been tiring but because of his mind. His stupid mind which made every respectful thought for the older evaporate and dissolve into insane and slightly unholy thoughts. This wasn't right. Jungwon was the leader, and the second youngest after Ni-Ki. And heeseung was the oldest hyung. He deserved respect, respect that despite being an omega and not an alpha, he still got. Because that's what came with being the unofficial leader. Heeseung was Jungwon's shoulder to lean on along with everyone else's. It never mattered that Heeseung had heats or that he was softer unlike the alpha's, he was the caring oldest and funny and sweet. But suddenly, the younger didn't know when this feeling started. This longing feeling of wanting to know what Heeseung could be, say or do behind closed doors and away from the others. This longing feeling of wanting to see the omega actually drop the older act and be an omega. This longing feeling of wanting to kiss and hold the omega in his arms and be an alpha for him. And yet... Jungwon knew that he was pulling at a weak string, something he knew would break if he pulled too hard. It was genuinely impossible,, if the leader ever managed to muster up the courage to get heeseung alone and ask him for one chance as a... mate? A boyfriend?, if he did Jungwon would probably get rejected and die out of embarrassment. And maybe heeseung would even comfort him like the caring person he was but Jungwon wouldn't live with himself anymore. It was too complicated. Too many possibilities which ended in heartbreaks or repressed feelings. He'd just need to run the feeling out. It was just a crush. Not anything else.
