To Byul (Omegaverse)

Chin-hwa woke up the next morning and found himself in a room that wasn't his and in clothes that he was very sure weren't his.

"Where am I?" He wondered and sniffed the shirt. It didn't have any pheromones and smelled brand new. "Hm, did Yun-Tae give me one of his new clothes?"

That was the only possible thought he got from this situation. How else was he in clothes that fitted him perfectly?

And...

His head was fuzzy. What happened after he yelled at Kang-woo?

His eyes widened as he remembered he had met Kang-woo the previous night. He sighed.

Just why did he bounce back into his life unannounced?

'And to make matters worse, I dreamt of that day.' he dropped his legs from the bed and noticed it was so high that his legs weren't touching the ground. 'Wait, this can't be right.' he thought. 'Why would Yun-Tae buy a bed that doesn't allow his legs to touch the ground? And...' he looked around. 'This doesn't look like Yun-Tae's taste either.'

The room was dark themed and Yun-Tae was a bright color guy. In their group, while both of them were cute Male Omegas, Yun-Tae was the one who wore bright clothes and Chin-hwa wore darker clothes to conceal his cuteness.

'Then, if this isn't Yun-Tae's house, who is it?' he clutched the sheets and then perked his nose into the air to sniff out the familiar pheromones. 'Ah, is it because I met Kang-woo yesterday? His scent still lingers at the tip of my nose.'

Not able to believe that Kang-woo might be the owner of this room, he went straight for the wardrobe, and as soon as he opened it, he was bathed in a fresh summer scent. It was Kang-woo's pheromones.

And it was so strong that Chin-hwa found himself intoxicated.

He was supposed to take a step back and think things through, ask himself how he ended up in Kang-woo's room, but... He found his hand slowly reaching out for one of his clothing.

'What am I doing?' He asked himself but his hand was out of control. It was trembling because he knew it was wrong, what he was about to do, but... He couldn't help it.

He took hold of a shirt and then pressed it to his face, sniffing at Kang-woo's pheromones. His face went red in embarrassment but he just couldn't help it.

"I think I've gone crazy." He exclaimed, his eyes shaking and glinting but they were soft. His gaze as he stared at Kang-woo's belongings.

His chest began to thump. That familiar feeling that always had him longing for Kang-woo was still there.

In the end, there was no way to get rid of it. Unless...

Just then, the door opened, startling Chin-hwa who immediately threw the shirt back into the wardrobe and shut it.

"Little Hwa," Kang-woo called, seeing Chin-hwa's back facing the door and facing him. "When did you wake up?" He asked but Chin-hwa was silent. His heart was racing a thousand miles as he had been so startled by Kang-woo's sudden entry.

'That was close. That was close. That was very close.' he rang in his head.

"What are you doing by my wardrobe?" Kang-woo asked, completely clueless and Chin-hwa answered.

"I... I don't remember what happened last night and I... I didn't know who took me back to their place, so I..." He gulped, sweat dripping down from his forehead. "I decided to tell by their...."

"By their pheromones?" Kang-woo concluded Chin-hwa's words for him and he nodded.

"Right."

"Ah, so you can tell just by the pheromones? That's impressive." Kang-woo said, slowly approaching the wardrobe and causing Chin-hwa's heart to thump even more. "Then, what would you have done if it was a strange pheromone?"

"I'd try to escape right away." Chin-hwa said. "If I don't know them, then it... It's possible I was taken here after falling into someone's trap. And... Hick!" He flinched violently after the tip of Kang-woo's fingers touched his exposed nape. He placed his hand there. "What are you...?" He turned around to find Kang-woo staring at him in shock. 'Oh no, did I react too much?'

"Ah," Kang-woo's shocked expression slowly fell as he laughed softly. "You're still so sensitive by the nape. How cute."

"You know it, yet you still..." His words were cut short when Kang-woo took another step towards him and his back kissed the wardrobe doors. "You still..." He lowered his face, blushing. "Touch it."

"It's because I'm often curious if you'll get over it." Kang-woo said, smiling innocently. "But that aside," he took another step closer. "You said you don't remember anything from last night?"

Chin-hwa shook his head.

"Hmm, then that means you don't remember when you declared you would spend forever plucking the stars with me?" He asked, and Chin-hwa's eyes widened.

"What are you talking about? When did I...?" Kang-woo started laughing and Chin-hwa realized it was a promise he made to him when they were younger. He still remembered that silly promise?

"Ha, I'm joking though. You did no such thing." Kang-woo said. "You acted completely normal the whole time." He smiled.

Chin-hwa suddenly went stiff, wondering why Kang-woo would bother keeping that childish nonsense in his head. Wasn't he supposed to forget it?

Why was he using it to mess with him now?

His eyes grew teary but he didn't let Kang-woo see it at all. And Kang-woo did not take a closer look and stepped back since it felt like he had sunk into the atmosphere somehow.

"Okay, come down. I made breakfast. Eat something before I take you to your place." He said, heading to the door but Chin-hwa stayed still, his head down while he sadly reminisced.

Kang-woo stopped at the door.

"Hmm," How do I get him to walk on his two feet down to the dining table? Ah, did he need to use his feet in the first place?

Kang-woo walked up to Chin-hwa and then picked him up, hugging his legs and allowing him the privilege of becoming taller than him by a few inches, even if it was just for a few minutes.

"Hey, what are you doing? Let me down." As Chin-hwa struggled, the tears that had been gathered in his eyes, fell on Kang-woo's face, shocking Kang-woo. Chin-hwa cleaned it immediately and said, "Don't look at me like you're staring at a ghost. It's not what you think, okay?"
