He blinked, feeling his head spin.

The pale boy groaned, turning in bed. His whole body was sore and he felt boneless, too lazy to get up.

As he blinked again, groggy mind clearing, Hyunjin could sense the scents invading his senses. The omega looked up at the roof, staring at a spot as he groaned softly.

Chan really did a number on him, did he?

The thought of the older made him shudder, biting his lip as he tried to swallow. He was sure the results was..somewhat erotic.

Hyunjin knew for sure that his lips and eyes were swollen, even surer about the hickies when he recalled Chan biting his collarbone.

And God, his ass hurt.

Closing his eyes once again, Hyunjin felt a bit sticky. He really hoped they had condoms because he hadn't taken any of the omega pills Felix instructed him to.

He was too busy running away.

Running away.

A sharp breath echoed in the empty room. He couldn't sense any presence there but their scents was everywhere, like they watched him without even being there.

Just as much as he wanted to clear his mind, the thoughts only drew back to his so called mates.

It was like his wolf couldn't let go of them. And they were bad, really bad people.

Tears burned behind his eyes. He should've never fallen for them. Too stupid, he was too ignorant.

The soft knock was heard on the door and he immediately recognized Changbin's husky scent.

Rich apple and cinnamon reached his nose as Hyunjin let his body go limp, almost falling asleep again at the calming pheromones the other was pumping out.

He vaguely registered the sound of the soft opening before Changbin tiptoed over the floor quietly, sinking down beside Hyunjin.

The younger didn't bother opening his eyes as the mattress dipped slightly, waiting resultantly.

"Hi." Warm arms wrapped themselves around his waist and Hyunjin found his heart jumping as he was pulled into a muscular chest.

Changbin frowned as he didn't answer, sensing the other's distressed scent. He softly kissed Hyunjin's head, rubbing slow circles in the younger's back.

He took a shuddering breath, trying hard to not relax. Yet, in the arms of a man he know he couldn't trust, he felt at home. Maybe it was his own fault, leaning into the protective heat.

To say he was confused was an understatement. He knew that they would kill him, sooner or later. The tears threatened to fall as Changbin hummed softly, trying to calm the omega down.

What was he doing? Why was he here, in Changbin's arms? Hyunjin felt numb.

It was like he was underwater, and they kept him there. So, so confused.

Don't trust them. Don't trust them.

His stomach turned and Hyunjin took a sharp breath, closing his eyes. His head was spinning, it was too much, it all were too much.

"We love you Jinnie."

"Remember, you are mine."

"Ours, ours."

"Trust us."

He didn't want to! He wanted it to stop! He wanted to go home and cuddle with his brother. He wanted his normal, regular life even if it was boring.

Hyunjin wished they weren't criminals. If they had only met as normal teenage boys, fallen in love.

They would be his, just like was theirs. But not in this way.

He knew better than believing in that.

Reality wasn't something you could run from. He felt sick, fisting Changbin's hoodie.

Why does it feel so right?

He didn't want to drown. He didn't want to loose himself. They gave him no choice.

~~

Changbin cradled Hyunjin into his arms, hugging him closer.

The younger started shaking, from fear or something else he didn't know. He sighed, humming lowly.

It was soon going to be over.

They just had to let him fall a little bit more.

Changbin wished he could see the younger's face but since his hoodie wasn't wet yet, he guessed Hyunjin was trying to take control of his thoughts. Stroking his soft hair, Changbin grimaced at the omega's now sour smell, trying to calm him down.

"Hey baby, it's going to be alright." No answer as his scent stirred.

Changbin kisses him on the top of his head again, closing his eyes as he released calming pheromones.

It always worked with Felix and it seemed to work with Hyunjin too. He didn't mind as the younger wrapped himself around him, pulling the covers over the both of them.

They should have been more careful. It would take a hell to get Hyunjin to trust them fully again, especially when his mind was torn like this.

The alpha sighed. "Baby?"

Still no answer. Hyunjin seemed calmer now, the shaking had stopped a while ago. They lay in silence as Changbin continued to stroke his hair.

"Who are you?" Hyunjin looked up at him.

"The Real you." Those innocent, tired eyes.

Follow the plan.

He didn't answer, instead he just kissed the younger's already swollen lips.

~~

The warm water was turned off as Hyunjin stepped out of the shower.

He shuddered at the cold air hitting his skin, slowly drying his hair as he looked at his reflection.

A tired boy in the mirror met his gaze, marks and bites showing clearly in his skin.

Hyunjin bit his lip, gently touching the mating bites as his heart thumped in his chest.

Did he belong after all? Or would it all come crashing down now, after they marked him? After they got what they wanted?

A knock echoed in the almost empty bathroom. "Jinnie? You alright?"

Changbin's deep voice sent shivers in him, pulling him back to reality.

"Y-yeah, I'll be out in a minute." He quickly dries his body, dragging on the clothes he had bring before looking back into the mirror.

You look horrible.

So naive.

Shut up, he told it.

Aish, maybe he was going crazy.

"Hyunjin?" The boy blinked, shaking his head before opening the door.

"Yeah, I'm done. Thanks for waiting." He smiled tiredly as Changbin frowned.

"Are you sure you're alright?" A warm hand way pressing against his forehead, the older's worried eyes looking at him.

Worried.

Was it real or fake?

Most importantly, how would he know? Hyunjin bit his lip, wanting to crumble into a small ball.

"It seems like you don't have a fever. Did Chan hyung go too hard on you yesterday?" He shook his head, rubbing his arms.

"N-no, I uh, wanted it." Wait, why would he say that?!? Hyunjin flushed at his own words and the realization that he actually wanted it too.

Maybe they had wormed inside his head.

No they haven't. Don't be stupid.

You know you want this. Willingly.

His mind was a mess, and he kept hearing that annoying voice. But maybe it was right?

What if he actually wanted to stay? Even if they killed him?

It was a mistake falling in love.

The tears broke out before he could notice, feeling Changbin immediately wrap his arms around him. He was acting like a weakling, in front of his captors.

He forced himself to stop the tears, but they just kept coming. Thank god he didn't let out those ugly, loud sobs.

"Jinnie." Changbin tilted his head up, those warm, caring eyes melted his heart.

Illusion or not maybe Hyunjin didn't care anymore.

So when the older crashed their lips together in a soft kiss, he immediately melted against it.

After all he was marked.

And he was theirs, even if he wanted it or not.
