All of a sudden, Yibo started crying. He stopd up and pushed Xiao Zhan away from him. Yibo shoved Xiao Zhan out of his room. Amd, before Xiao Zhan could say anything Yibo closed the door with a loud bang saying, "Get out".

"You should vome more often", said a man in his 30s.

"I didn't want to bother you since you're busy....master", said Zhoucheng to the man.

The man was standing with his nack on Zhoucheng, holding a small cologne bottle. He turned to face Zhoucheng.

"You're no bother. Don't worry", the man said chuckling. He walked to the nearest table and sat down on the table with his arms crossed.

"Zhan.... How's he doing?" The man asked

"He's the same as usual", Zhoucheng replied curtly.

"I guess he's still not Omegas", the man said, touching his chin in a thinking manner.

Zhoucheng greeted his teeth, looking sideways hearing the statement.

"I'm afraid that he's gonna get married to music", Zhoucheng said after a few moments.

"Oh. I listened to your songs",  the man said holding a cd player.

"I didn't think that you would", Zhoucheng said.

"I remember Zhan gave me a cd player a long time ago", the man said ignoring what  Zhoucheng said.

"You're terrible at the bass", the man said after a short pause, looking at Zhoucheng.

"You called me here to tell me that?" Zhoucheng yelled angrily.

"Well, it's a nice hobby", the man said, making Zhoucheng confused.

There was a nameplate on the table that the man was sitting on that read, President Xiao Haikuan. That's right! The man was no one but Xiao Zhan's older brother Haikuan.

"Young master is quite serious about it. If you listen to our newest song-" Zhoucheng said but Haikuan cut him in the middle saying, "I see, he's always been good at everything. So music is no exception".

Haikuan stood up from where he was sitting and walked closer to Zhoucheng. Standing only a few inches away from Zhoucheng, looking straight into his eyes Haikuan said, "There's this time in life when you feel the need to really get into something...music or studying or whatever. At that age...you also want to act normal.... On the other hand, they want to try meeting only Betas and Alphas, just because..... isn't that right!"

Zhoucheng grew more confused by the way Haikuan talked. He didn't reply to the question Haikuan left and stayed silent, staring at Haikuan thinking where their conversation was heading.

After sometime, Haikuan suddenly held Zhoucheng's hand. Zhoucheng looked down to his hand.

"Zhoucheng",  Haikuan called his name as  he handed him a big bundle of cash and the small cologne bottle he was holding before.

"He doesn't need that much-" Zhoucheng said but Haikuan cut him in the middle saying, "I know Zhan doesn't like spending money. Treat yourself to a nice meal..... And take care of Zhan".

All this time that Haikuan talked, Zhoucheng stayed silent, looking at Haikuan blankly, feeling a little nervous yet confused.

Suddenly Haikuan started to release his pheromones. Looking straight into Zhoucheng's eyes, Haikuan kept releasing his pheromones hoping to get a reaction. But to his disappointment, as if Zhoucheng has a shield over himself that prevents him from every kind of pheromones, Hakuan didn't get any kind of reaction.

Zhoucheng got even more confused seeing Haikuan staring at him weirdly.

"I will. Thank you. Have a good day", Zhoucheng said as he bowed showing respect and left Haikuan's office.

After Zhoucheng left, Haikuan sighed, shaking his head slightly.

"Betas...", Haikuan murmured.

___________

Zhoucheng exited Haikuan's office building and stood outside as he took out the cologne bottle out of his jacket pocket. Looking at the bottle he thought,"This people... surely knows how to make me uncomfortable".

Afterall the cologne bottle was filled with Alpha pheromones, made for those Alphas who lakes in strong phenomenons.

"Mister.....was the only one who treated me normally", Zhoucheng thought with a sad look on his face, reminiscing the days when he used to tease Xiao Zhan asking him if he has found an Omega for himself yet.

_________

"Inspiration? Yeah, right. I haven't seen him in days. He has shut himself up in this room", Xiao Zhan thought as he walked with a glaring angry look on his face. Everyone who passed by him, was afraid by the aura he had. Anyone could tell that he was in a really bad mood.

"Shit! Is it really something to get mad over? It's just sex...", Xiao Zhan thought angrily.

"Plenty of Omegas have partners for their heat cycles instead of using suppressants. Everyone's always looking for strong Alphas and Omegas like a bunch of fools. He was definitely feeling it. What's not to like about having sex with an Alpha like me?"  Xiao Zhan thought as he remembered everything Wang Yibo has been going through till now. Afterall, all his life he thought he an Alpha and sticked to the thought until he miserably discovered that he was an Omega all his life. Xiao Zhan remembered all the time he forced Wang Yibo to do what he wanted. Didn't let Yibo get a job without his permission and even told him to do the house chores. Even though it was for Yibo's own good...

Remembering everything, Xiao Zhan's steps came to a halt. "Maybe I've.....hurt his pride..... Shit! I don't know what to do....", Xiao Zhan thought as he looked down hopelessly.

Looking up, Xiao Zhan found himself standing infront of a very familiar cafe. There was recruitment poster on the wall of the cafe that said

Weekday part-timer wanterd.
10:30am - 5pm
860*********00

Seeing the recruitment poster, Xiao Zhan entered the cafe.

"Hi, Zhan. Long time no see", said a lady as she saw Xiao Zhan entering the cafe. She is the owner of the cafe and is in her mid twenties.

"Since you're the owner you'd know....have you....found a part-timer yet?" Xiao Zhan asked hesitantly.

__________

After talking to the owner of the cafe, Xiao Zhan cane home. As he opened the door of the house, he saw Yibo coming towards the door with his luggage and bags packed, ready to move out. Xiao Zhan was beyond shocked and Yibo had an angry look on his face.

Xiao Zhan quickly entered the house and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'm leaving", Yibo replied as he passed by Xiao Zhan.

"Where..? Have you found a place to stay?" Xiao Zhan asked worriedly.

"I'm going to stay at Yubin's", Yibo replied.

"But.... There's an Alpha at his place", Xiao Zhan said.

"Here, there. What the difference? You're an Alpha too!!" Yibo snapped feeling angrier by all the questions.

"You think you're any different? I'm not staying in this shithole any longer", Yibo said as he held the door knob.

"Wait...I...... I'm sorry", Xiao Zhan apologized feeling miserable.

Hearing Xiao Zhan saying sorry, Yibo stopped and looked back at Xiao Zhan with a shocked look.

"I made a mistake..... It won't happen again. I even found you a job. It's at a coffee shop nearby. The owner of the cafe saidbto come for an interview", Xiao Zhan said handing Yibo a small piece of paper that had cafe address. Yibo looked at the paper curiously.

"She's really nice......and the work won't be that hard", Xiao Zhan explained and stood there silently, waiting for Yibo to say something, feeling nervous.

"....You really won't do anything?" Yibo asked making sure.

"I won't", Xiao Zhan replied at once.

"Then promise me....!! ....That you won't do anything even during my heat cycle.....! No matter what I do!!" Yibo said.

"O-okay. I promise", Xiao Zhan replied.

"Hmm....", Yibo exclaimed looking at the piece of paper.

"Come on... Go back in. That place is probably too crowded, anyway. It'll be uncomfortable for your friend too", Xiao Zhan said as Yibo walked back to his room with Zhan following him with Yibo's luggages.

"But, Yubin told me to come....", Yibo said walking ahead.

"Just tell him that you changed your mind. You don't have to work around the house, just stay. Okay?" Xiao Zhan said, still feeling anxious.

"It doesn't really matter", Yibo said blankly

"No, no. I insist", Xiao Zhan said.

"Hmmm..... If you say so-", Yibo said.

A sudden realisation hit Xiao Zhan. "What!! Why am I begging him not to leave???...... What is going on???" Xiao Zhan thought confusedly.
