Chapter 2
Till nodded as if hypnotized, and Ivan suddenly pulled him into a room and closed the door behind them. Till sat on the floor, breathing heavily, his hand on his chest and his eyes blinking. Ivan sat on the bed, holding his stomach, and looked at him, his face covered in sweat. "Are you the invaders?"
Till nodded. "We were here to ruin the stage."
Ivan nodded. "You did it," he said, smiling.
Till looked at him as he curled up on his bed. "Why did you help me?" Ivan closed his eyes. "I want to get out of here."
Till didn't understand. "But why? You're their favorite, you're famous-" Ivan groaned as he held his lower stomach. "Trust me, this is worse."
When Till saw his writhing on the bed, he approached him and looked into his black eyes that were narrowed in pain. "Hey, are you okay?"
Ivan was about to answer when he straightened up at the smell he smelled and looked at Till. "Hide!" He pushed him into his closet and closed it, his index finger as if to say be quiet, and then Till suddenly realized that the scents in the air were incredibly intertwined. Vanilla, musk, lavender, mint, and dozens of other scents - it was overwhelming. Ivan fell to his knees before he could get into bed and Till almost got out of the closet, but when the door opened he gave up on that idea.
"what the fuck are you doing on the floor?"
till knew that voice too. He saw the alpha's blond hair between the closet doors and Luka grabbed Ivan's arm roughly and threw him onto the bed. "Why did you run away like that? Don't you know what's out there, you idiot?" Ivan apologized in a low voice when Luka grabbed his hair roughly and lifted his head. "Come back to the room for the tests later. They're going to try artificial heat this time." Ivan winced and Luka let go of his hair and took a breath. Luka looked at him and shook himself. "You're lucky you're a dominant."
"Fuck you," Ivan cursed under his breath and when Luka came out of his room, he ran to the bathroom and threw up. Till wasn't sure if he should come out of the closet or not, but when he went to Ivan, Ivan was washing his face with water.
Ivan looked over his shoulder at him. "We're leaving now." Ivan put on a black coat and covered his hair and face. He threw a jacket over him and caught his breath. "Drive as i told you. We'll get out of here in a moment. You asked me why i was helping you earlier. Of course i could have run away before, but I had nowhere to go. You have somewhere to go."
Till didn't say anything. Damn it, he wanted to smoke. Had the others gotten out? When Ivan did as he said, the omega screamed and threw his hands in the air, wrapped both arms around Till's neck, and kissed his hair. Till felt nothing as the omega's joyful cries filled the empty field. He was overwhelmed by the omega's ever-changing scent. He was also thinking about Mizi... damn it... She literally sacrificed herself to save Sua.
When they arrived at the shelter with Ivan, he looked at his friends' faces. The expression of sorrow, while Sua was sitting on the sidelines in a short white dress. Hyuna, Dewey and Isaac were safe, they were here. Till ran to his mother and hugged her. While his mother was crying and stroking his hair, he hugged Hyuna too and after Hyuna hugged him, she looked at the man behind him. When Ivan took off his mask, the whole atmosphere changed.
hyuna looked at till. "i hope you kidnapped him so we can exchange him for mizi."
“Actually, not exactly,” Ivan spoke up. “I came here in exchange for helping him escape.” Ivan pulled up a chair and sat down, smiling when he smelled Hyuna. Yes, it was just as he remembered. When he suddenly caught sight of her scent, Hyunwoo bared his teeth, but the horrifying stench coming from Ivan had them all clutching at his throat.
“Stop it,” Hyuna whispered. Then she muttered angrily. “You and Luka are made for each other.” Ivan raised his eyebrows and held his slightly aching stomach as the scent faded. “That’s what they say.” Ivan then looked at Till. “Take me to your room. I want to rest.” His eyebrows furrowed. "The air here... makes me tired."
But Hyuna had no intention of letting him go. “Why did you come here? They’re going to come after you, don’t you know? They’re going to tear everything apart to find you.”
Ivan rolled his eyes. "They think i can't get pregnant. Sure, my genes are important, but Luka's genes..." Ivan looked down. "strong, beautiful... only a dominant omega can carry these genes." Then he laughed. "But if i can't get pregnant, it's nothing. They'll try with other omegas. They'll consider me dead or missing. They won't find me. Now, take me to your room."
hyuna looked at him again. "what do you mean they think you can't get pregnant? Are you fucking pregnant?"
Ivan was silent at first, then he shaked his head both sides. "No. All of this perfect genes is too much, even for me i think."
"Still... they'll think you've been kidnapped."
Ivan shrugged. "Then, if they want me back, let me stay here until then."
hyuna winced. "So..." hyuna lookes at till. "Take him to your room, then come back here."
Ivan stood up from his chair and looked into Till's face. Till smelled good. Ivan couldn't quite describe it, but he could easily say that he smelled like freedom. When he involuntarily released his scent, Till shivered and looked at him. "Don't do that shit."
Ivan bowed his head. "I'm sorry."
Ivan continued to walk right next to Till, and Till felt the omega's eyes on him and got nervous. The first thing that came to his mind was, freak. Ivan wasnt scarry at all, he was a freak. He took him to his room because there were only a few rooms. And there was only one bed in his room. Well, if that was the price he had to pay for being able to get out of there... he could do it. Ivan threw himself unsteadily onto the bed and took deep breaths as he curled up in Till's scent. he smelled a little like mint, a little like lime, and... but Ivan still couldn't identify it. It wasn't like Luka's suffocating scent, no, it was very different.
The weather here was different. His lungs were overwhelmed by the unfiltered dirty air. when till leaves the room, he became sleepy and fell asleep.
Till left the room and went back to the bar. Hyuna was squeezing Sua's shoulders. The girl started to cry more when she told him that they were going to give him Mimi's room for now. Hyuna just hung her face. She was not satisfied with the situation either.
Dewey put his hand on his forehead. "We're not leaving Mizi there, are we?" Just as Till was about to open his mouth, Hyuna spoke. "What can we do? I can't risk losing... another person." Hyuna took a deep breath. "We'll stay quiet until we think of a plan." Hyuna hugged Till again and stroked his hair. "I'm really glad you came brother, even though you brought a troublemaker."
till laughed softly and hugged the girl tightly on the back. "i wouldn't have been able to get out without him."
hyuna looked into the rooms in the back. "we... could use him somehow. i don't think the aliens would leave him alone, they'd put a bounty on him head." hyuna clasped her hands under her chin. "we don't know the inside of the building since we left when we were very young, but if he knows..." till squeezed the girl's shoulder. "we'll ask tomorrow. for now... let him rest."
Till knew Ivan wasn't very well. So it was best to talk tomorrow. After eating, everyone dispersed to their own rooms, and he paused at the sound of crying coming from Mizi's room. Should he go into the room... or should he give her time too? He didn't know, he clenched his fists and leaned his back against the wall. As he was about to take a deep breath and open Mizi's door, the black-haired girl stormed out. She looked at Till's face with her red eyes because of crying, and went into the bathroom. Till slumped his shoulders, yes, it would be better to talk tomorrow. Everything was so fresh, even he was just beginning to understand what had happened.
When Till entered his own room, he looked at the omega lying on his bed. And there was this.
The smell in the air - it was disgusting. Till couldn't even say what it was. His alpha squirmed uncomfortably. How was he going to sleep here? He sat down on his bed in despair and put his head in his hands. Then he looked back over his shoulder. Ivan's eyebrows were furrowed, his face contorted as if he were having some kind of nightmare. Till almost reached out and touched his eyebrows, but stopped at the last moment, and when Ivan's scent began to give off a truly unbearable stench of discomfort, he nudged the omega's arm, certain that he were having a nightmare.
"Hey," Till hadn't expected Ivan to suddenly open his eyes and wrap his hands around his throat. He hadn't expected this man, who was raised like a princess, to be so strong either. When he put his own hands on his hands and tried to pull him away, Ivan immediately pulled his hands away as if he realized what he was doing and looked at him with his wide eyes. "I'm sorry."
Till rubbed his throat lightly. He was scared. "I'm going to have to tie you up while you sleep. What the fuck was that, Ivan?"
"I'm sorry, sometimes when im sleeping aliens are t-" Ivan fell silent and Till shivered as his scent grew darker. Yes, Ivan could kill anyone with that, very easily.
"Okay, I didn't ask for shit. i don't want to know about your traumas, but that smell," Till pressed his lips together. "It's not nice, okay? I'm not used to someone... smelling like that, so it makes me nervous, like i'm trying to sleep in a room with a thousand other people."
Ivan nodded, and in an instant, the thick, complex scent was gone. In its place was a scent of powder and a hint of jasmine. Till leaned his head back against the pillow. “Thank you,” he murmured. The scent was truly... comforting.
Ivan slowly lay back down on the bed and dug his nails into his palms. He wasn't there anymore. There were no aliens, no Luka, no more tests. He took a deep breath and looked at Till's face. It would be nice to live like this, even if just for a little while.
In the morning, when Till woke up, he was about to yawn when he saw Ivan's face right next to his. His mouth opened in a silent scream, his entire face turning bright red, and he fell backwards on the bed, falling hard to the floor. Till let out a deep breath as he tried to calm his racing heart and looked at the omega who had probably woken up with the sound. Ivan blinked calmly, looking at him. "What happened? It's too early."
"Shut up." Till's face was still burning. Because Ivan was beautiful. Okay, that's what would happen if anyone saw his face this close. He went to the bathroom and took a shower with ice-cold water. When he came out of the bathroom Ivan was still in bed and when Till took his towel down, believing him to be asleep, he heard a whistling sound from behind. Till's brows furrowed in anger and he took his shorts and went back into the bathroom, closing the door hard behind him. He had let a pervert into his room. Ivan, the perfect, pretty, dominant omega was a pervert. And he was weird. A freak too. A fucking-
“Why did you go there again?” Till’s face turned bright red again as Ivan scanned him from head to toe. The cold water hadn’t helped.
"I told you to shut up." As soon as Till realized how much scent he was emitting, he had headed for the door of the room when he stopped, remembering that Hyuna might beat him, and looked at Ivan's raised eyebrows. "You're shy."
Till screamed. "I told you to shut up!"
Ivan rested his hand on his cheek. "Why are you so ashamed? I thought you were a brave and fearless person yesterday, cold-blooded..." Ivan looked at him through his thick eyelashes. Actually, he didn't have such a thought, but it was very easy to tease this alpha, it was fun. "You know, it's like someone who will be my alpha."
"W-what yo-your alpha-"
Ivan could see it coming out from above Till's head. He chuckled happily as he too went into the bathroom and asked Till for a towel and then clothes. “H-hey Till, these don’t really suit me.”
Till rolled his eyes, getting even more irritated. When he opened the bathroom door, he saw that his sweater was practically stuck to Ivan’s body. Ivan’s chests— “HEY!” Ivan shouted with concern. “Your nose is bleeding!” Ivan had him sit on the toilet, bend his head forward, and gently pressed the tip of his nose. His eyes were narrowed with concern. “Are you okay?”
Till shook his head and pushed his hands away roughly. Then he stood up quickly and walked into Dewey's room. "Give me some clothes." Dewey frowned. "Why?" When Till blushed, Dewey grinned. "For Ivan?" When Till nodded, Dewey handed him a hoodie and pants.
When Till returned to his room, he found Ivan sitting on the bed. Till threw the clothes at him and turned away. "I'm not wearing these. It smells like an... another alpha." Till felt a few veins pop on his forehead. "Put your scent on these." Ivan said it in a small voice, and Till slumped his shoulders and left his scent on the clothes. Ivan wear it on without complaint this time, while Till took a deep breath and straightened the sleeves of the hoodie. They were big, but it was fine. Ivan looked at him. "Thank you."
Till didn't say anything, just scratched the back of his neck and looked over his shoulder at him. "We're going to breakfast, come on." Ivan followed him, Till taking his mother out of the room first, and Ivan quickly took her hand. "You raised your son very kindly, he was very nice to me." Till hoped to end this day before he died. "Don't tell her things ahe might misunderstand-"
But Til'ls mother, Io, cut him off and took Ivan's hands. "I'm so glad, if he does anything wrong with you, tell me, okay?"
Ivan smiled gently. He shook Io's hands. "Of course."
Till waved his hands in front of his mother's eyes while Io put her hand over her mouth and watched them. "Hey, Mom, it's nothing like that, he's just talking nonsense, okay?" Io's eyebrows raised. "But he smells just like you."
Ivan grinned as he covered his mouth and probably looking embarrassed. till wanted to punch him, he clenched his fists. He looked at his mother. "I only marked him because he wanted to feel comfortable." Io's eyes got big. "YOU MARKED HIM FROM THE FIRST NIGHT?" she shouted, all eyes in the hallway turned to them. till tried to explain with a bright red face. "I... marked his c-clothes..."
io didn't seem to hear her son. "Oh, my baby has grown so much."
"Mom!" Till wanted to kill himself, the man he had just met yesterday was giggling next to him. he would kill him too, no, he would kill them both.
Till wanted to smoke. His hands itched and as he was about to reach for the cigarette in his pocket, he looked at his mother. "You go, I'm going to get some air."
Ivan looked at Till. "I'll come with you." Io nodded and went to the cafeteria. Till went out without looking at Ivan, but he knew Ivan was following him.
Ivan looked at the cigarette with interest as Till put a cigarette between his lips. Ivan pulled back, coughing as Till blew the smoke in his face. "What's this?" Till's eyes widened at first, but then he remembered what Hyuna had said about that place, yes, they couldn't smoke if they needed their voice and lungs. "Cigarette. Do you want to smoke?" Ivan nodded and Till made him hold the cigarette between his fingers and lit it. "Inhale or it'll go out."
Ivan winced at the first breath and had to stop himself from slamming his feet into the ground. It was so bitter. It left a weight on his tongue. "This is disgusting." He handed the cigarette back to him.
Till watched Ivan admiring the sky as he smoked a cigarette and mocked him. "What, you've never seen it?" Ivan didn't take his eyes off the sky. "I didn't pay attention yesterday, it's been a long time... it's the first time i've seen a real sky for a really long time. The clouds are moving, i forgot about that too..." Till's face fell. Had Ivan ever experienced anything real?
Ivan turned to Till with excitement. "Can you take me out at night someday? The stars... I want to see the stars." Till put out his cigarette next to the trash can. "We'll see."
when he grabbed ivan by the wrist and dragged him into the cafeteria, hyunwoo spit out his food when he saw dewey's clothes on ivan. "why is he wearing dewey's clothes?" hyuna thought her brother was being stupid for a moment. "you wanna he walk around like... naked?" hyunwoo put his hand to his chin. "i mean, i don't know."
hyuna picked up her tray and sat across from ivan. "i mean, i hope you don't think you're going to get here for free."
ivan rolled his eyes. "What do you want?" he folded his arms across his chest.
"Help us. Anakt's and the aliens' base, you know their layout, right? We need to save Mizi." Ivan stirred the food in front of him with his fork, till listened to them. "Okay, I'll draw it as best I remember." Hyuna frowned. "As best you remember? I know you're smart as hell Ivan, you've memorized every part."
Ivan shrugged. Smelling Hyuna's scent was... a bit weird tho. His stomach felt queasy, he wasn't going to eat anymore. "If you're going to go there again, don't go... Luka still wants you. I know if he sees you he won't let you go."
hyuna frowned. "what? what makes you think that?"
Ivan laughed, but his laugh was empty and strange. "Because he wanted me to smell like you when he fucked me so..."
ivan looked at hyuna's furrowed eyebrows and the look of surprise in her eyes. She shook his head, looking like she was having a hard time processing what she just heard. "s-sorry, i..."
it was ivan who was surprised this time. "why are you apologizing? the one who asked for it is luka. i'm just telling you not to go because he's crazy."
hyuna shrugged. "i'm sorry, i must have been too harsh on you yesterday. losing mizi... they won't treat her like they treat you."
ivan laughed sarcastically. "just hope they don't treat her like they treat us." Ivan gently pushed the tray away. "She'll be safe for now, but... they might force her to race, I don't know. They'll definitely use her, I don't think they'll kill her right away." Ivan shivered. "I think it's more fun for them this way."
Hyuna took a deep breath. "We'll be holding a meeting after the training, you can join us. Then... you can draw us the base's layout. Okay?"
Ivan nodded and slowly got up from the table. "What do you call training?"
Till finished his meal and looked at him. He was surprised by what he had just said, Luka had mentioned some tests back then, but... was it happening all the time, was it constantly testing his body... Till swallowed and looked away. He couldn't even imagine it. "We... are learning how to use knives and guns, strengthening our bodies... this way, we might have a chance against the aliens."
"Oh, okay, can i watch you?"
"You can, i guess." Till didn't care. When the two of them went to the fight area, he saw Dewey and Isaac knocking everyone down one by one. Ivan slowly sat down on the ground, hugged his legs and started to watch them. Till was disturbed by his blank stare. His scent was also strange, he desperately searched for the beautiful and calming scent he smelled yesterday, but what he smelled now had nothing to do with it.
Till realized how incredibly distracted he was when Dewey roughly pinned him down on the mat. His face went red, he was embarrassed! He got up quickly, but Ivan continued to stare at him expressionlessly.
He wanted to hit Ivan just to see the expression in his eyes change.
After the training, they attended the meeting and Ivan didn't say much again. He just said a few things about where they could take Mizi and then fell silent. When Till took Ivan to another room to draw, he asked. "Are you... okay?" Ivan turned to him. "I'm fine. It's just..." Ivan wrapped his arms around himself. "I'm not used to seeing so many people, it feels so intimate here. It's weird."
Ivan was used to everything being artificial. The sky he looked at, the grass he stepped on, his walls, his smell, himself. Everything was artificial, but this place was so real. It was so real that he felt uncomfortable. He slumped his shoulders. "Let's start drawing." If they started today, it would take two or three days to finish.
After a while, Ivan made him draw all the corridors, doors and rooms. Till tiredly put down the pen and messed up his hair. "Let's eat something and sleep, we'll continue tomorrow."
"Okay, can we see the stars?"
"Of course."
Till was doing these things partly out of gratitude to him, but couldn't help but feel sorry for him as ivan looked up at the stars. His heart dropped. Fuck, he wanted to kill aliens even more now.
Ivan looked at Till when he noticed his eyes roaming over his face. "Am I more beautiful than the stars?"
Till blushed, he was angry again. "I see them every day."
"You are right." Ivan took a deep, shaky breath. "I don't want to go there again." He was still looking at the stars. "I told you they wouldn't look for me, but they will, till." Ivan smiled. "They won't find me here, though. "But I don't want to go." Ivan said in a shaky voice. "I'm scared, i don't know if my body can handle much more, even my heats are artificial. Maybe i haven't been in heat naturally for years." Till gently held his arm. "Nobody touches you here, relax." Ivan smiled. "I know. I guess that's why I like it here, even though most people don't like me."
till didn't say anything. people loved mizi, and now, having him back there didn't feel right to most people. he let out a deep breath. "it's not that people don't love you, they're just... sad."
Ivan smiled as he looked up at the stars. "Okay then." They stood up as Till finished his cigarette. Ivan looked at him. "Do you really think we can draw ninety floors?"
"I dont know but we can try," till stubbed out his cigarette. "The more you remember, the better."
Ivan wrapped his arms around him. It was very cold indeed. It was no joke how bad the climate was. When Till saw that he was shivering slightly, he said, "Let's go inside," but Ivan shook his head. "Feeling the cold keeps me alive." Till, his face a little red, put his jacket around him. Ivan blushed a little too and buried his face in his arms. "Thank you."
After sitting outside for a while, Til came in to talk to his mother and Ivan said he would be back soon. He continued to look at the stars, they looked so bright. He felt sleepy as the cold began to take over his body. When he closed his eyes, a hand touched his back. "What are you doing here all alone, where is Till?" It was Dewey, the one who had given him his clothes. Ivan looked at his hair. "Your lips are turning purple, come inside, buddy"
Ivan looked at him and Dewey winced when he suddenly released his scent. "You do realize that every scent, like a fingerprint, belongs to that person, right? It's very disturbing." Ivan nodded, of course he knew. "But that's also my thing, sometimes it happens unintentionally." His scent changed to Isaac's, then Hyunwoo's. "Sometimes I get covered in the scent of whoever I think about, and you think it's not disturbing to me?"
Dewey stayed like that for a moment with his cigarette. "I mean, you don't have your own scent? What's that like?" Ivan nodded. "Of course you do, but... I don't feel comfortable releasing it," his scent turned to something reminiscent of thorny roses. The roses and... honey, thickened. Dewey slapped his arm lightly. "Isn't that... Luka's scent? Were you thinking about him?"
Dewey scratched the back of his neck. "Hyun said something but... I mean, we kind of guessed you and Luka's relationship, but are you only together to have a child?" Ivan rolled his eyes. "We're not together, he's just trying to fuck me a baby." Dewey raised his eyebrows. "This is the first time I've seen an omega like you," he said, and Ivan scoffed. "Because I'm dominant. There's no one else but me."
Dewey dug his hand into the grass. "Damn, that's actually cool." Ivan laughed and looked at him. "I know."
When Till realized Ivan hadn't arrived, he went back outside to get him, when he saw Dewey and Ivan sitting next to each other. Ivan was giggling and talking. Seeing Ivan laughing lit a strange fire in Till's heart. "So... you asked what I smelled like, right?" Ivan let out a deep breath, and a clean, strong scent of jasmine and powder suddenly wafted through the air. Dewey jumped. His eyes were wide with surprise, but he laughed. "Well, I didn't expect a less beautiful scent from someone so beautiful." Till's eyebrows furrowed when he said this, but Ivan laughed cheerfully at Dewey's words. "Thank you. That's kind of you."
Just as Dewey was about to speak, Till put his hand on Ivan's head. "You're still sitting here?" Ivan pressed his lips together. The alpha's voice was scolding, and although dominant, the omega inside him was scared. Dewey pushed Till's hand away. "You're scaring him."
Ivan shook his head. "No-" Ivan's face was red as Till grabbed his arm and lifted him up. Ivan waved at Dewey as Till led him inside. Til looked at him. "Is that your scent?" When Ivan shook his head, Till said, "Smell something else, I didn't like that."
"Ah," Ivan smiled bitterly. "Okay, I..." Till winced as his scent faded and he sat down on the bed, smelling of fake vanilla. Till hadn't meant it, it smelled really, really nice, but he didn't want anyone else to smell it. "Anyway, your scent is fine. Just don't let anyone else smell it." Ivan looked at him. "It's okay... right?" When Till nodded, smelled it and took a deep breath. It was a really intoxicating scent. People on the street would fight over it, he knew it, he'd seen it.
Ivan leaned his head back against the pillow and turned to Till. "My smell... doesn't overwhelm you, does it?" Till looked at him with remorse. "No, it's okay. I didn't mean it when i said i didn't like it."
Ivan's pale eyes sparkled. "Ah, okay."
"What you said about Luka in the morning..." Ivan closed his eyes. "This..." Omega was now looking at the alpha in front of him with his slightly blue glowing eyes in the dark. "I've been spending my heat with him since my first heat. Luka is not willing either, but if we don't, then it gets worse and worse because i couldn't get pregnant. Because if i get, we will both get rid of it for at least 10 months. But..." ivan laughed. "It was when i saw you yesterday. That's why i looked-"
The scent of jasmine changed a little, Till could almost see it. "That's why Luka acted like he was punishing me. Well, that's why-"
"Okay, i understand." Till silenced him sharply. "You don't need to talk any more." Just yesterday he had said he didn't want to hear about his traumas, but something was pulling him towards the omega...
"Im sorry," Ivan felt as if the only thing he could draw strength from was holding him hand. He couldn't. "You keep saying that they treat us well. The only thing that comes our way is eating something good, and that's because of obvious reasons."
till stammered. "Both of you look good in commercials and movies... that's why we-"
Ivan looked at him in disbelief. "Because we want to survive."
Ivan's eyes widened as Till grabbed his hand. He was even more surprised that there was no blush on the alpha's face. "I won't give you back to them, you can be sure of that. After all, i owe you my life. I promise you. You will never see Luka either."
This time it was Ivan who blushed in surprise. A small smile appeared on his face. "Thank you." Till, even if he didn't do anything, it was valuable to say this. Ivan leaned his face on their clasped hands. "Thank you."
Till instinctively leaned into him. His alpha wanted to curl up around the troubled omega. He placed a hand gently on his back and pulled him slightly towards him.
Two weeks passed like this. They started drawing the building floor by floor, almost non-stop. Some of them were the ones Ivan had never been to, and when it was like a damn maze, drawing it could be quite difficult sometimes.
When Till went to gun training, Ivan followed him. "I want to shoot today too." Till looked at him for a few seconds and then handed him the gun. "Pull the safety, and when you shoot it will recoil, be careful." Ivan shook his head and looked at the target. Till went behind him and lifted his elbow slightly. He held his other elbow and adjusted his hand position and muttered. "Shoot." Till smiled as Ivan hit the bullseye near the center. "Good, you're talented." Ivan let out a deep breath as Till slowly removed his hand from his elbow.
Till sat down, crossing his arms over his chest as Ivan continued to fire, and watched as his muscles tense as he fired. Damn, it was a good sight. till he jumped when someone tapped him on the shoulder. he looked into hyunwoo's light eyes. "why aren't you training?"
hyunwoo grinned. “Did it feel better to watch him?"
Till blushed and frowned. "N-no, i mean, i was teaching to how to sho-"
"He's already good at this." Hyunwoo grabbed him by the arm and lifted him. "Come on."
Hyunwoo tied his arms around his chest and looked at Ivan. He also paid attention to the omega's frowning eyebrows and the scent scattered in the training hall. For a while, his eyes were opened with the scent of pure, soft, powder and jasmine. The hunger for his alpha was probably revealed, and Ivan had his eyes turned to him. “Is something wrong?”
Hyunwoo blushed and Till frowned at him. “Ah, no- it’s just that scent… it’s really nice.” Ivan smiled. “Thank you, it’s my own scent.”
Hyunwoo was surprised. “Your… scent?”
"Yeah."
hyunwoo didn't think he would have a scent of his own. "it's really nice. people would go to war over this, you know..."
till had thought the same thing. so he wasn't surprised by this thought. it was just that a foul liquid had risen from his stomach to his throat. his inner alpha almost growled. "hey..." he mumbled. ivan and hyunwoo both turned to him. "what happened?" till let out a deep breath, his cheeks flushing slightly. "don't smell him."
Ivan blushed as Hyunwoo coughed, "That wasn't my intention." Ivan continued to shoot with his lips pressed together as an awkward silence fell between them. Hyunwoo sat down next to Till. His eyes flickered over him as if he were measuring something. "hey, do you... like him?"
Till blushed. he put his hands on his face. "I guess..?"
