"you are zoning out, boss”

Jaebum's looked dead in jimin's eyes and huffed. Jimin never saw his boss so worked up. What happened that made him so messed up. He was zoning out and sighing whenever he gets the chance.

“stop looking at me and do your work, jimin” he groaned and carded his fingers through his hair. Hearing this Jimin just shrugged, “you are zoning out. Boss, you are letting your guard down” he replied, tapping his chin.

“ thanks, do your work” jaebum scratched his growing stubble and took a sip of his tea. On the very first sip, he made a face and closed his eyes to calm himself.

“ ask him to warm it, it's turned into water” he commanded. Jimin nodded and walked out the room, probably asking one of the servants to call that omega, who was in charge of it.

Once he was back, jaebum gave him a document, “go to chanyeol and ask him to do this task. This is the contract, once the work is done, money will be transferred into our account” he ordered and handed him the folder.

Jimin took the folder and jogged out of the room. He bumped into someone and gritted his teeth. “see where you walk omega!” his teeth snapped at little one, who pouted and nodded at him.

“ all are meanie in here” jinyoung huffed as he walked towards the office. He was avoiding the alpha's and he successfully escaped from his eyes for three days by giving him tea before the time but the sudden call from him felt like a death call.

He carefully pushed the door and tilted his head. “y-you called, Mr. Alpha?” he asked.

Jinyoung blushed when jaebum's body from morning flashed in front of his eyes.

Meanwhile, jaebum went rigid when he heard that speak.

He didn't looked up and nodded. He remembered the surprised look of omega's face and the way he ran away leaving his slippers.

“it's cold now, warm it up” he said and Jinyoung's head tilted in confusion.

“I didn't serve you tea, Mr. Alpha” he replied back and jaebum looked up. His face heated up, when his eyes fell on jinyoung who hands his hands back and his hair fell over his eyes and his pout.

He glanced at tea and his eyes widen when he saw, it was old tea from yesterday night.

“who cleans my office?” he asked jinyoung young in gruff voice

“ i-i don't, alpha” he looked down.

Jaebum took a deep breath and cleared his throat, “come here” he called with a curl of his index finger. Jinyoung slowly padded towards the desk. His feet making soft thuds and his heartbeat fastening.

He was never this close to the alpha and it made him so nervous.

“from tomorrow onwards, you'll be cleaning my office, okay?” he asked. His eyes not leaving Jinyoung's face, reading his facial features and expressions.

Jinyoung nodded.

“in words, omega”

Honestly, jinyoung felt goosebumps in his body when the alpha spoke.

“y-yes, alpha” he stuttered and taking the saucer, he started to move but jaebum stopped him by grabbing his arm.

“ after this, serve me tea” jinyoung nodded again and left the alpha's office.

💙

“ why me?? There are associates for this!” chanyeol whined, his eyes wide and eyebrows furrowed.

“because, boss said?” this came out as a question while Jimin scratched his neck.

“you have to kill his wife. She is a fraud. Boss wants it to look like an accident” Jimin explained and chanyeol looked at yoongi, who shrugged.

“I know that! But why me?” he slammed his hands on the table and Jimin sighed.

“listen, clearly underboss I don't know! Okay! Just kill that woman and come back! Easy! Alright?” Jimin threw his hands dramatically and chanyeol just stared at the beta.

“hyung always take the execution part” chanyeol stated the fact.

“maybe, he finds you very intimidating after that auction thingy?” yoongi piped in and chanyeol glared.

“don't remind me that!” he snapped.

“look, whatever happened, I don't care! Just do it. It's giving money!” saying that, Jimin ran out of the room.

“we have no choice I guess” chanyeol huffed dramatically and clenched his hand over his chest. Shaking his head, he took the clothes prepared by the cute omega. He took off his shirt, when it clicked him.

“ are you gonna watch me?” he asked yoongi.

Yoongi gagged, “ I'll slice my throat rather than watching you get undressed. Ugly” he scowled and walked out of the room to wait outside.

Bubbles flew with the wind and soft giggle mixed in the air. Sleeves rolled up, while foam covered their hands like gloves. The sound of the water, dripping inside the tub felt so satisfying as they were squeezed together. Jinyoung and baekhyun washed alphas clothes with their soft hands. Their hair running with the direction of wind and tickled their ears.

“are we done?” the silver haired asked and the raven head nodded, throwing the last article in the bucket.

“my legs are freezing!” jinyoung squealed at baekhyun and picking up the bucket, they ran towards the wire area. The smell of detergents surrounded them and felt like hugging it.

Once the clothes were hung. They kept things to their place and unfolding sleeves of their shirt they ran inside.

Suddenly Jinyoung's legs wobbled and his stumbled on his feet. Baekhyun caught him on time and his eyes went wide. 
He knew what was happening.

Alphas didn't asked them about food and no instructions from the alphas to the servant, left them with nothing. Servants were not allowed to cook food for themselves as they brought their own lunch and no servant was going to make food for another servant.

Baekhyun and jinyoung survived on water and two packs of crackers.

He knew the omega was stressed with lack of food and mental peace and his peace was little space. They have to survive and for that, they had to let go of one thing.

Jinyoung would enter in little space at night and had to leave it with force so that he could work.

“jinnie, are you alright?” he asked, his voice laced with worry. Jinyoung took deep breaths and nodded. Trying to stand on his feet. He didn't ask for food because he knew, they would look at him those eyes that he feared.

Sitting in the middle of the stairs, they waited for it to get better and hit the bed.

Baekhyun grabbed Jinyoung's hand tightly and walked towards their bedroom. Baekhyun left jinyoung on the bed and dashed towards the table to grab a jug of water and glass.

“drink some water” he softly said and placed the edge of the glass near to Jinyoung's lips.

Jinyoung whined and shook his head.

“nwo… pw-pwease” he sniffled and turned to the other side.

Next morning.

One by one, baekhyun folded shirts and placed them aside. His eyes glancing at the alpha from time to time but they kept losing focus. He took a deep breath and placed his hand on his forehead and massaged it.

“baekhyun, can you tie a normal knot?” chanyeol asked.

Baekhyun licked his lips and exhaling his breathe, he nodded. “y-yes” he mumbled. 
Standing, he walked to the alpha and he his eyes irritated as he looked up to chanyeol's height.

“i-i can't reach and my eyes” he winced.

Baekhyun climbed on the bed and chanyeol walked towards the bed, holding his tie. He was tying the knot when he stopped abruptly.

“i-i forgot” he bit his lip and stomped his feet softly on the surface of the bed.

The alpha chuckled.

“fold them and push them between the two fold” he said. Chanyeol's dark brown eyes ran over baekhyun's face, the way his tongue slide out and eyebrows furrowed, focusing on it.

“ done!” baekhyun squealed and giggled.

Chanyeol's eyes snapped to baekhyun's and he grinned at his childish way. Muttering a small thanks, he walked away only to be stopped by the voice.

“a-alpha!” he heard the troubled voice and turned to look at the omega while wearing his coat.

“i-i am scared of h-height” chanyeol melted internally and in three big steps, he wrapped his arms around the narrow waist of omega's. His hand brushing the side and once they tighten, he gently brought baekhyun on feet.

Baekhyun blushed and looked away in embarrassment. He was extremely close to the omega, almost no gap and the strong cologne filled his nostrils, leaving him high.

But one thing chanyeol got to know.

The omega had a beautiful scent. His favourite scent.

Cherries.

💙💙💙

Jinyoung licked his lips. He was looking at the fridge as he bit his short nails. He wasn't actually planning on doing this but he had to do it. His stomach growled for the nth time and his winced at it.

Jinyoung mopped the floors, clean stoves and kitchen platforms and watered all the plants. He did all the work that was thrown at him. Now, he was exhausted and wanted something to fill his empty stomach. He didn't want to throw up water out of his stomach.

He saw, the kitchen was free and servants went for lunch. He quietly walked inside the kitchen. His heart beating fast and loud. He slowly opened the fridge door and carefully tool out the packet of bread.

He sighed in relief when it was out safely. He took out one slice of bread and was about to eat it when was thrown on the floor with the force of slap. His body trembled and slowly the pain of slap emitted from his cheek, making tears fall from his yes, blurring his vision.

“ stealing food in the absence of master!” a beta servant yelled at him.

He eyed the bread near dustbin that fell out of his hand when he was slapped.

He felt thorny vines around his neck, tightening second by second as he choked on his cries. His body felt numb and all he could feel was his cheek.

“ I'll tell master about you, you scumbag! Worthless omega!” Jinyoung's head heard as he heard all the insults thrown at him. 
His nails digging in his palm, punishing himself.

Jinyoung heard thumping footsteps approaching them, his heart almost beating against his rib cage. His eyes glanced at the polished shoes and he knew, he was gone. He'll be kicked out.

“m-master! Master, this thief! He stole a bag of bread. He even tried to scratch me!” her fake voice made jinyoung feel disgusted.

He didn't steal a whole bag! He didn't even touched her.

“enough, you have no right to raise your hand. Get lost!” he scolded the beta servant.

“but master, he sto— Enough!” he yelled in anger. His eyes glowed.

The servant scurried.

In seconds, the crowd of servants left area, leaving the alpha and omega alone.

Before the alpha could even react. Baekhyun with worry filled eyes came running in the kitchen and hugged him tight. His hand grabbed his cheek and turned it towards himself and winced when the colour of handprint looked painful.

Jaebum's jaws clenched at the sight and his fist tighten.

“w-what happened, jinnie?” he asked and jinyoung wailed in baekhyun's chest, crying hard.

“i-i downt wanna be hewl! I am hungwy… stawving… I… I didn't wanted to steal!” he cried, his voice muffled in baekhyun's chest.

“ thwey awll bwad!” he cried harder and jaebum looked at chanyeol for answers who shrugged at response.

“I.. I told you jinnie, we will drink water!” baekhyun frowned, hugging jinyoung close.

“ tummy huwts” he cried, sobbing and hiccuping in middle.

Chanyeol's eyes widen as he looked at them. “ you drink water? Like only water? Why are you not eating food?” he asked and baekhyun looked away in shame.

“w-we had no choice. S-servants don't talk to us much and asking for food, m-made us look bad” his eyes running down to the floor in shame. His hand gently rubbing Jinyoung's back and rocking back and forth to calm him down.

Jaebum's eyes didn't left the way raven haired cried out and rocked in omega's lap. His language, his actions, everything looked different. He squinted his eyes when he realised the omega fell asleep in baekhyun's lap.

Chanyeol's sighed and bit his lips, wondering how they survived.

“you'll be eating with us. Join us in the table” chanyeol's voice rang in baekhyun's ears, who's eyes went wide as he shook his head.

“please,no” baekhyun sniffled. Jaebum raised his hand to make him stop.

“it's the final decision” he spoke and sighed.

“he fell asleep, let me ta— I'll take him. Chanyeol give him something to eat” jaebum said in his deep voice and moved forward to pick up the sleeping omega in his arms.

Baekhyun hesitated but a look from alpha was enough for him to free the omega. Jaebum carefully brought omega in his arms and carried his bridal style.

Jinyoung was lighter than he expected and easily molded to his body. It was his perfect fit. Jaebum looked at the omega for the one last time and walked away from the couple in the kitchen.

Jinyoung was settled on his bed and felt the warm coming out from an unknown source and tried to snuggle unintentionally. But, jaebum pulled himself away. He caressed the mark on his cheek and brushed the hair falling over his eyes.

“you confuse me so much. Who are you? What are you, omega?” he asked the sleeping omega and leaning back. Jinyoung was too beautiful and ethereal.

He was so pretty.

What jinyoung did was his fault. If he would have taken care of their diet, jinyoung wouldn't have taken that step. 
He covered him with duvet and turned around to shock himself.

“never saw our boss being this soft?” yoongi folded his arms and chuckled while looking at his boss.

“my mouth is sealed with glue, don't worry” laughing yoongi left the omega's door and walked away.

Meanwhile in the kitchen, chanyeol had his back face towards the omega, who looked at him with curious eyes. He felt so strange. An alpha was cooking for him.

“you don't have to keep your problems with yourself. Tell me” chanyeol said as he took out the plate from the cabinet. Baekhyun sat upright and tilted his head in confusion.

“w-we are h-habitual” he sniffled and chuckled sadly.

Chanyeol walked towards baekhyun and placed the plated in front of him. “eat, it's omelet rice” he smiled.

Baekhyun took chopsticks and started to eat. He smiles and looked up. It was a green signal for chanyeol.

Baekhyun washed the plate and staked it back to its place.

“t-thank you, that's very thoughtful” he thanked and bow down and small beads of tears left his eyes, until he felt warm chest against his forehead.

“you don't have beat yourself so much. It's okay, I am there for you, baekhyun” he whispered in his ear and let the omega rest on his chest.
