Hyunjin woke up, the dry tear stains fully visible on his cheeks.

The latter sighed softly, wincing as he shifted to look at Minho's sleeping face.

The older's room was big and spacious but a lot different than he had imagined. A big window and sofa, king sized bed with maroon sheets of silk. His desk were filled with different drawers and he didn't even dare to look into them, not wanting to find a gun or anything else life threatening.

Otherwise, he liked the shelves of books in Minho's room. With the big speaker and tv in the corner, two large shelves filled with books piled up and kept him distracted whenever he felt too locked in.

Hyunjin still wondered if it was worth trying to escape from them. A tiny voice deep in his head whispered to him about a plan but a very dangerous one.

He was still shocked they'd allow him into their rooms. Minho also had this closet, filled with something he recalled the older saying it was for 'fun time'. Hyunjin still wondered what he meant with that.

Nevertheless, Minho had been stern about him not opening it, muttering something about innocent and breaking before kissing him on the cheek.

How would Minho react if he suddenly found paint to draw in the roof though?

Yes, he was that bored. The maidens were allowed to give him whatever he wished for, accept for any kind of weapons or phone.

Even if he still felt that nagging feeling of I trust around them, he felt so much of a mess it was hard to even form an escape plan. He bet they had planned this.

Minho's words lingered in his head and the warm words Felix uttered to him the night they had marked him followed him wherever they went. How could they even utter those three words just like that, as if they were no worth and distant?

He thought love would be beautiful.

It made him sick how strongly he loved them and it hurt him how they didn't love him back. Well, that was quite predicted, wasn't it?

Why was he any different to them anyways?

He remembered those kids words. "Hey see that boy over there? Don't talk to him, I bet he's weird."

"He looks pretty but he never talks!"

"I heard from my parents he and his brother is always moving around."

"Don't befriend him, he's not worth it."

Closing his eyes, he took a shuddering breath.

Of course. He's not worth it.

That information was worth more.

Maybe he should just tell them he couldn't remember anything and let them kill him.

Maybe then he wouldn't feel pain anymore.

Their cold eyes would hurt him more than gunshots though.

Hyunjin sighed, slowly getting up to head towards the toilet in Minho's room. It was big like the one in his room, accept the older had a jacuzzi and it made him question how expensive that must be.

But then, they were running a company with seemingly cover for their real jobs: mafia.

He had suspected that and even before he was taken away, he'd talked to Eunjeong and Taeyong hyungs. It was even stupider that he knew exactly what he was nestled into and still proceeded to fall in love with them.

Well, he hadn't known everything. He didn't even know what they were playing right now.

The alpha was starting to get tired of seeing his own face in the mirror. Always the same tired face. It was like he lost the colors in his life.

Who should've thought love would hurt so?

Quickly washing up and finishing, he snuck back into the warm covers, a soft huff escaping him as he draped the blanket over himself. He just wanted to fall asleep and never wake up.

The bed shifted beside him, Minho groggily blinking an eye open as he smiled. "Good Morning, gorgeous."

Hyunjin flushed, whispering a tiny good morning back as he was pulled into a warm chest. Almost letting out a surprised yelp, Hyunjin held his hands firm against Minho, making distance between him and the older.

Minho frowned at that, snuggling closer to Hyunjin as he spooned him, head buried in his neck.

"Sleep well?" He felt the tiny nod against his chest, smiling slightly as the taller let him tangle their limbs.

The alpha didn't comment his red, puffy eyes or the way he seemed to have cleaned himself up. Instead, Minho just kissed innocently and for a moment, it felt almost like he genuinely was sorry.

|...|

"Are you going to continue staring at him like that?" Felix blinked, too consumed in watching Hyunjin with the combination of a fucking cherry lollipop, to notice that Jisung already trailed behind him.

Although, the other alpha's gaze also lingered at Hyunjin were he squirmed as Seungmin and Jeongin squished him into a hug.

These last days had been tense, Hyunjin barely responding to anything they did. Even if he was there, they all noticed his mind was a thousand miles away. That distancing gaze he kept having, made him look lifeless and monotone.

So, Felix lived for moments like this. When he actually talked to them for real and laughed with them. Of course, it wouldn't really matter which for him since they weren't exactly pushing around the bush anymore.

He remembered first time he had allowed Hyunjin to enter his room.

"Jinnie, come here. Let me just open the door, alright?" The raven nodded and looked around curiously, his big doe eyes making him look softer under the gleaming sunlight.

Felix chuckled and with a click, he opened the door. The older gasped as he was pulled into the omega's room. Vanilla filled his nose as Felix's scent surrounded them, the purple haired smiling softly.

Unlike from the others, he decided not to scare the older the moment he entered the room. Besides, he didn't like have too many toys around him anyways and the play room was easy to find. But surely, Hyunjin wouldn't be ready for any of that soon and he didn't want to hur nor frighten the other.

He watched as the other omega giggled, jumping onto his big king sized bed. Gasping slightly, he bit his lip as he watched Hyunjin roll around in the white sheets.

"It smells like Binnie." Felix slowly approached the bed as the raven buried his nose into one of the biggest pillows.

"Of course, we normally sleep together." Changmin rarely used his room anyways, finding more comfort in his room. Though he always complained it was a bit too light for his liking.

Otherwise than bed and bathroom, Felix's room was pretty simple. White walls and soft cushions, desk and speakers in the corner. Besides the medals of course and those shopping bags splayed across his floor messily.

Plopping himself down beside Hyunjin, he stared at the older for a god minutes before the other finally noticed, cheeks coloring with delicate pink. "What?"

"Nothing really. You are just beautiful." A soft whine was heard as he laughed, Hyunjin burying his head into the covers.

The older looked up with red cheeks, suddenly sighing softly as he looked at the roof. Felix followed his gaze, eyes softening when he realized he was staring at the stars painted there.

Maybe he'd ask Chan hyung if they could get some paint. Their omega would definitely like that, looking at his roof which such fascination.

"I used to have stars like this in my old room." Silence settled between then. He slowly turned to stare at Hyunjin's face, expression blank.

But the older's face held so much emotion. Hyunjin easily broke down and cried anyways, it was hard to believe he was an alpha. ( still was though but technically not )

He was soft and petite for an alpha, all innocent and pretty looks. His personality was sweet and naturally caring, fitting an omega in person perfectly. The Australian liked his crying face the most, when Hyunjin's eyes would fill with wet tears and pink lips wobbling. He was undeniably cute and neither of them could really resist.

Emotions flashed through his eyes, all filled with regret, longing and sadness.

He took Hyunjin's hand in his own, kissing it softly. They stayed like that, heavy silence dropped over them as the older allowed the omega to hold him close, trying to chase comfort in the warm embrace.

Jeongin cooed, snapping his attention back. Hyunjin had let his head relax against Seungmin's shoulder, eyes fluttering close as he continued to lick that red lollipop in his mouth.

Felix couldn't ignore the red, sweet substance smeared on the omega's lips. Besides his good scent and the fact that he was unaware of them stripping him in their thoughts, Hyunjin continued to suck totally unbothered. Jisung stifled a groan beside him, watching the other omega's closed eyes. He seriously never knew what he did to them, even all in that innocent facade.

As Woojin came back into the room, Hyunjin pulled the lollipop out with a wet pop. Seungmin who had stiffened as the temptation was right on his chest hardened his grip around the older's waist. "Is something wrong?"

Well, yeah.

"No, we are just a bit tired." The omega looked worried but Jisung just sweetly smiled, waving it off. He really was something, worrying about them even in a situation like that.

Felix met Hyunjin's gaze, giving him grabby hands as the taller obeyed and moved out of Jeongin's lap to plop himself on the empty place beside him. Before he could fully make himself comfortable, the purple haired immediately hovered over him in an instant.

"F-Felix!" His eyes were dark as he met Hyunjin's gaze. The other looked pale and tired, a little sick even. He pursed his lips together, not wanting the other to be sick. That would be worthless after all, if they took so poorly care of him.

"Are you feeling alright?" As the older's face scrunched up in confusion, he quickly recovered by muttering a yes and smiling weakly. Only a half hearted smile, though.

He let his gaze wander along Hyunjin's neck, stopping by his scent glands where their marks flowed over the skin. Loving the way pale skin turned into goosebumps as he trailed his finger there, he looked at Hyunjin. "Can I?"

A nod and the omega surged forwards, pressing his nose against the scent gland closest to him. Feeling hot gazes on them, he nibbled the skin, making Hyunjin softly moan. So sensitive.

Hands traveled up his back, fisting his sweater as the latter's eyes fluttered close, letting Felix scent him. Hums softly surfaced as the younger buried his nose into the nape of Hyunjin's neck, lips wandering up his throat.

"Shit." The whisper was rushed and tension was thick in the air as he could hear Minho's voice. It must be a good sight, their two omegas pressed close as they scented each other. The raven's chest rumbled a bit, signaling his quiet laugh as he allowed himself to melt into Felix's hold.

He was starting to believe that Hyunjin's weakness was them after all. Such a pity though.

Yet no shame or guilt filled him as he pulled back to watch the older's blissed out face.
