You're an omega."
Those words were echoing inside Taehyung's head as he left the hospital and was wandering on the road. He was turning into an omega. Why? Why did he have to turn into an omega? It wasn't like he hated omegas but he hated the idea of being one of them.
How were omegas and how were they treated? It wasn't difficult for Taehyung to know how his future lay ahead. He was carrying a bag full of heat suppressants and medicines that would regulate his heat and hormones. It also contained a choker especially made for omegas to protect themselves from getting bitten by the alphas.
Unmarked omegas wore a choker around their neck so no alpha could bite on their scent gland and mark them. Marked omegas usually had the mark of their alphas on their nape where their scent gland was. Suppressants worked well but to be extra cautious omegas wore choker.
Marked omegas didn't need any suppressants and chokers because at first no alphas would eye others' possessions and once marked omegas only reacted to their alpha's pheromones. They also had fixed heat periods and were safe from other alphas' ruts.
And now Taehyung was going to be one of them. He had to take those medicines and wear a choker around his neck like some livestock. His mind was full of the doctor's words when she said he needed an alpha to accompany him now. When he had said to the doctor that he was staying with his dominant alpha friend, she suggested Taehyung take his help. Moreover what the doctor said after that was stuck on his head.
"You have always been around a dominant alpha after your secondary gender was revealed. Dominant alpha's pheromones are very strong. Maybe it is the effect of those pheromones, you didn't show any signs of awakening as an omega till now when it's at the final stage."
"What should I do, doctor?"
"Your alpha friends' pheromones helped you to mask your omega pheromones making others believe you are a beta. It is like his pheromones were protecting you. You have to ask for his help."
Ask for his help.
Taehyung sighed in stress as he sat on a park bench. How was he supposed to ask for help? 'Jungkook, I am suddenly going to turn into an omega, can you lend me your pheromones?' Was he supposed to ask like that? He couldn't do it. Thinking about how he would have to take suppressants every month, go into heat every month and wear a choker, Taehyung felt frustrated. It was so hard. He couldn't face Jungkook. What will he say?
It was already 5 pm. Jungkook was already at home and was waiting for Taehyung. Taehyung had told him he had to go to the hospital to check in case he was suffering from flu or some other illness. Jungkook also knew Taehyung was going for a check-up for his heat. Jungkook purposely acted as if he didn't know anything and had left for office. That afternoon when he had checked Taehyung's location, he was at the hospital where they checked the secondary gender. Jungkook wanted Taehyung to find out himself at first and ask for his help by himself.
He opened his mobile and saw Taehyung's location. It was at the park.
"What is Taehyung doing there for two hours?"
Jungkook woke up from the sofa. Who was Taehyung meeting there making him stay there for more than two hours? He put on a windbreaker and was about to go when his phone rang. He looked at the screen and it was his father.
"Yes, Dad." Jungkook received the call.
"You brat, did you hire someone to kill that driver?" Jungkook father's angry voice came from the other side.
Jungkook suddenly remembered he had indeed hired someone to kill that driver.
"Yes, Dad."
"Why now?"
"Dad, Taehyung is about to turn into an omega. I couldn't keep that ticking time bomb alive. I will not allow anyone or anything to come between me and Taehyung now."
"You could have hired some professional assassin for that. Why some gangsters?" Jungkook father sounded frustrated.
"Did something happen?" Jungkook asked cautiously.
"Police almost got involved. It is the same driver who was involved in Taehyung's parent's accident. They could have opened that old case. You know how hard it was right?" Jungkook's father asked.
Of course, Jungkook knew. After all, he was the one who had hired that driver to hit Taehyung's parents' car and make it look like an accident. He gave a lot of money to that driver and money can make a person do anything. After that, he asked his father to bribe the police and make a fake report saying the driver was drunk. The driver was in prison till last month and after the driver was released, Jungkook immediately hired someone to kill that driver.
Maybe the driver was hoping to live his remaining life by enjoying himself after he gets released from prison but Jungkook wouldn't allow any anomaly which would affect his relationship with Taehyung in the future.
"I know, Dad. Help me this last time, will you?" Jungkook pleaded like a spoiled brat he was. "Please, Dad. Please, please."
A long sigh could be heard. "This is the last time I am cleaning up your mess, understood?"
"Yes, Dad." Jungkook smiled.
"And be more serious about your position."
"Yes, Dad. As soon as I mark Taehyung."
"How long?"
"Maybe a month."
"Okay. Take care. Visit home sometimes and bring Taehyung. Make him familiar with our relatives."
"Yes, Dad," Jungkook answered cheekily. "I'll bring you your son-in-law soon."
"Um." The call ended after that.
Everything was already sorted out. Now he just needed to wait until Taehyung turned into omega, have his first heat and mark him.
