Archive of Our Own ^omega

Riki was the only one out of Enhypen who hasn’t presented, at this point everyone knew he was a late bloomer and he practically accepted the fact that he probably is going to turn out as a Beta because he never seemed to fit in the category of either an alpha or an omega. Only once Jake made a comment about how it would be if Riki turned out as an omega. 

“You’re delusional, hyung.” Riki answered to which Jake just rolled his eyes and smirked, leaving that conversation behind. 

Anyway, back to the present. He woke up with a headache, a rather annoying one, he couldn’t remember his head hurting as bad as it did right now. Which was unfortunate because they were scheduled for a staff meeting and then Riki was called to help choreograph something. 

He groaned as he kicked his sheets off, sweating unusually for someone that barely sweat- like ever. He would never understand how Jungwon and Heeseung survived these waterfalls. 

He got ready quickly, taking a cool shower to calm himself off and it eased his headache a bit, maybe some tea would help and then he would be fine for their schedule today. 

Fast forward, he walked into their living area and Jake was sitting with Jay one the couch while Heeseung was scrolling on his phone. He went and opened some of their cabinets next to their TV. 

“Morning to you too?” Jay said, eyebrows quirked up. 

Jake huffed a laugh. “You okay there, baby?” 

Riki clicked his tongue and turned towards them, Heeseung just watching him patiently. 

“I’m having a fuckin’ bad headache, hyung. Where’s the paracetamol?” He asked and went to plop down next to Heeseung to which the oldest immediately placed his head on Riki’s forehead and frowned. 

“You’re not burning up, though.”

Jay hummed. 

Jake narrowed his eyes. “I think Jungwon might have some.” The Australian said and Riki groaned, leaning his head back against the couch and dragging a hand over his face. 

“Can someone please tell him to grab some- I feel like I’m going to die and then donate my brain to science.” Riki said, rubbing at his temples. Jay got up and sighed, running a hand through Riki’s hair. 

“I’ll go get some.” 

Riki hummed in appreciation. “Thanks, hyung.” 

He was oblivious to how Jake was staring at him while Heeseung made the younger place his head on his shoulder. 

“You sure you can do the schedule today then, Riki-ah?” 

Riki sighed. “I should- I need to choreograph something.” 

Jake clicked his tongue and sat up to sit on the other side of Riki, and Heeseung as if he and Jake communicated telepathically moved a bit away from Riki so the Australian could place an arm around the maknae’s shoulders. 

“You think you’re presenting, Riki-ah?” Jake asked, and Heeseung huffed. 

Riki stopped, mulling over what Jake said. 

He then shook his head. 

“No. Betas don’t present like this.” He said, shrugging his shoulders. 

Heeseung looked confused. “You think you’ll be a Beta?” 

Riki looked even more confused. “I mean- yeah? It’s quite obvious I won’t be an alpha, man.” 

Jake shook his head. “No-” 

“Medics are here.” Jungwon came into the living, followed by Jay, Sunghoon and Sunoo, all ready for their schedules. Riki smiled in appreciation as Sunoo went to grab him a cup of water. 

Riki downed the meds in one go and stood up, a bit dizzy. Sunghoon caught onto his arm.

“I really don’t think you should work today, baby.” Jake said, standing close. 

Jungwon crossed his arms. “Yeah, I honestly think you should rest.”

Riki rolled his arm. “You’re overreacting, all of you. I’ll be fine.”

The rest all collectively sighed, knowing better than to reason with their stubborn maknae. 

At the company, they all greeted their manager along with some higher ups they were going to meet today for an upcoming comeback. Riki sat down in his chair, arms crossed, and listened as they described a moodboard for the overall concept.

And suddenly, cold air hit him like a truck. 

He wrapped his arms tighter around himself and shivered slightly.

A hand landed on his thigh and Riki swore something or someone whimpered. Oh god- was that him? 

Riki looked up and saw Jake staring at him to which the younger didn’t know how to react. 

“Are you cold?” Jake whispered. “I think the heating’s on though.” He said, eyes focused on Riki. The maknae just sighed, leaning back into his chair. 

“I’m okay.” Riki said.

Jake rolled his eyes and  took the jacket from the back of his chair and placed it into Riki’s lap. “Wear it.” 

Riki raised an eyebrow. “Hyung, I’m fine." 

Jake gave him a pointed look. 

All these damn alphas and their instincts. 

“Ok- ok- jeez.” Riki grumbled and wrapped the jacket around him. A cargo jacket that Jake wore plenty of times, and holy shit? Did it always smell this good? He swore he could smell coffee and caramel mixing into one scent. What kind of perfume was Jake using? Did he always smell like this? Maybe he changed his perfume?

And why was he suddenly feeling like he was wrapped in bubble wrap and nothing could harm him? 

He looked at Jake who was just listening to their manager intently. Head one leg over the other, his elbow on the arm rest while his other hand started on Riki’s thigh. Was his thigh burning or was that his imagination? Wasn’t he cold just a second ago? 

Holy shit- did Jake always look like that when he was focused. Hair messy over his eyes, cap covering part of his face, focused on what was being said in the meeting. 

Jake had a white T-shirt on and loose sweatpants, when did he get those? 

Are sweatpants meant to look this good? 

He is for sure going to need Jungwon to give him a summary of this meeting because he is sure he lost more than half at this point.  

He takes another whiff of the jacket and he wants to be covered in the scent. He almost forgot about the pressure on his head that was close to making his nauseous. 

“Are…are you sniffing his jacket?” Sunoo leaned in to whisper. 

Riki was so lost in the smell that he forgot where they were. His cheeks flushed like he was a tomato and he suppressed a groan. 

“No.” 

Sunoo raised his eyebrows. “Uh-huh- and I’m the fucking Mona Lisa.”

Jungwon snorted as he was sitting in front of them. 

They were going to make fun of him so much later in the maknae line group chat. 

As the meeting was over, Riki got up, reminded of his headache but ignored it as it moved towards the back of his head rather than pressing on his temples. 

Riki went to remove the jacket to give it back to Jake but the older man stopped Rik. 

“Wear it. It looks nice on you.” 

Riki blinked. 

Wondered why his headache got worse when Jake walked away. 

They all walked into the practice room where Riki was supposed to teach his members something he choreographed for an event. He felt himself sweating- but he was feeling so cold. With each step he took he could feel himself getting dizzier and dizzier until he had to breach himself on the wall so that he could regain feeling in his bones and body. 

He felt someone place a hand on his lower back and is it weird that his body somehow knew it was Jake? Riki just stepped away quietly, and walked in front of his members where their choreographer was.

“Hey, noona.” He said, giving him a warm smile and she reciprocated it, patting him on the back.

“Hey, kid. You ready for today?”

He 100% wasn’t ready because every fiber of his body felt like he was planning a nuclear attack on his being. However, he just nodded. 

“Yeah- I have something ready.” He said. The elder woman smiled, a Beta, caring but rational and she gave him a once over.

“You aren’t going to get hot?”

Riki winced. He didn’t know how to tell her he was practically freezing and the jacket was offering him the only form of comfort to stop him from collapsing.

“No- I’ll be okay.” He said, rather in a snappy tone but the beta just decided to ignore it, and gave Riki a few pointers on his new moves. 

They were all gathered around Riki, everyone listening to him intently as the maknae explained their choreography. He went through it smoothly, ignoring the throbbing pain at the back of his head. 

“Wait- so is that a kick or a jump?” Sunghoon asked, arms crossed. Riki hummed at the question.

“It’s both.” The choreographer explained. 

Jay clicked his tongue. “Aish- we already get enough of those.”

Riki laughed. “Because Engenes like it, man. That's why.” 

Heeseung chuckled. Sunoo groaned. Jungwon was already warming up. 

Riki didn’t know what hit him but the room started smelling like crazy. He sniffed the same caramel and coffee, a hint of old expensive wine, was that rain? He also could swear he was smelling logs burning. He took a step backwards and covered his nose, mind completely fogged as too many things were happening around him. 

Since when did this room smell like this? 

Was he hallucinating? 

The jacket on his shoulders became heavier and a strong whiff of caramel ended up filling his senses to the point where he wanted to run away and form a tent made entirely from that scent. 

Wait-

What? 

Did he want to make a nest? 

That’s not possible. 

No one in his family was an omega- that’d be insane.

“Riki-ssi?” Their choreographer said. She got close to him and placed a hand in his bicep, and Riki almost cried from how it burned. 

“Fuck-“ He cursed, eyes shut. 

He could hear people calling his name, everyone getting closer- and closer- and closer- 

Riki backed into the wall with a loud thud. 

A sharp pain ran through his whole entire body and without even realising it- 

He fell to the ground, sweat dripping off of him and shivering like he was in the Antarctic. 

“Give him space!” The choreographer said and she knelt down next to Riki, and the maknae could only clutch onto her arm as she checked him over. He could see her eyes widening in realisation and Riki almost did not want to believe her. 

“Fuck- he’s presenting.” 

The room turned quiet at her words.

And suddenly out of Riki’s throat a whine broke out. 

Shit. 

He was a fucking- 

“...-omega.”  The choreographer said. 

And then around the room a strong smell, something entirely different than what filled Riki’s nose before. Burnt vanilla and s’mores, sweet but strong. Riki whined again and rocked back and forth, he wanted to form a proper sentence, he honestly tried. 

“It- ….. hurts.” Every word felt like was being dragged out of his throat with clippers. 

The beta in the room turned to look at the members, all Alpha’s who were pinching their noses to stop from going feral over the smell of an Omega. 

“Fuck- he smells good.” Jungwon said, turning his head away. Sunoo covered their second youngest, a similar look of distress on his face. 

Riki could feel another whine ripping off of his throat as the pheromones in the room were getting mixed all together.

He felt the smell of caramel once again. He hugged himself tighter, leaning into their choreographer. He always knew Beta’s didn’t have a strong scent and Riki tried to focus on the faint pheromones she was realising to calm him down. 

He thought about Jake again. 

“Jake- come here.” The woman said.

Fuck- did he say that out loud? 

“Everyone else- get out.” She instructed and they all obeyed. 

“That’s your scent, right?” She said, Jake nodded, he hadn’t said a word this whole time but he was laser focused on Riki, fists clenched at his sides. 

Riki tuned them out. 

He could feel his world spinning even with his eyes closed. 

He felt the beta’s hand leave his bicep as Jake crouched beside him, and Riki leaned instinctively towards where the Australian was. He thought he heard Jake’s breath hitch. He could hear the choreographer and Jake talking but he couldn’t make out what they were saying. 

“Riki- baby- can I touch you, please?” Riki melted at Jake’s voice. He didn’t know why his body didn’t want anything but Jake besides him. 

He nodded. 

“Words, Riki-ah.” The woman said. 

Riki whined. “Yes- yes, please.” He hated that he sounded so desperate. 

“Ok- hang on, baby.” Jake whispered, and hooked his arm underneath Riki’s knees, the other on his back, and Riki buried his face in Jake’s chest, the scent of fresh coffee beans and caramel soothing him.

And then-

He was knocked out. 

He woke up with a groan, and a heavy weight over his waist. He shivered as cold air hit him once again. 

Holy shit- he was an omega. 

An omega. 

When- why? 

What was the company going to say?

Everything in his room smelled of burnt vanilla. Vanilla? S’mores? 

Where did that come from? 

Why was it so sweet?

He looked around him. Did he make a nest? When did that happen? There were clothes all around him, ranging from Jay’s coat to one of Sunoo’s blankets. He even saw Sunghoon’s penguin plushie.

 He swore the last thing he remembered was everyone leaving their practice room. 

“Morning.” Someone whispered in his ear and Riki almost jumped out of his skin.

He turned around, mortified, only to find Jake smiling up at him. 

Wait- Jake? 

Riki gaped. 

“I-” 

Jake got up with a slight groan and leaned against the headboard. 

“You gave us all a scare yesterday, you know?” Jake started. 

Did Jake always look like that when he woke up? Voice all groggy and hair messy, falling into his eyes, eyes filled with an emotion Riki couldn' t place. 

“Everyone is wearing scent blockers so you don’t have to worry, baby, hm?” The alpha said, placing his hand on Riki’s waist and rubbing it in circles. 

Riki’s head was spiraling with questions. 

One- why was Jake in his bed? 

Two- why was he sad about Jake wearing blockers? 

Three- why was he thrilled about Jake being so close to him? 

Fourth- baby? Where did that come from? 

Fifth- holy shit. 

Not really a question but a valid reaction. 

“No-” broke out of Riki’s throat. 

Jake stopped talking. “Huh?” He tilted his head like a puppy. 

Riki was going insane, he was dreaming, this was a lie because he never noticed these small details about Jake that apparently now were making him go absolutely crazy. 

“I like your scent.” Riki said bluntly and then his eyes widened. Was he always this bold?

Jake’s eyes widened comically but then he shook his head, laughing. “You’re going to be the death of me.” The Australian looked up, and winked at Riki. “You might make your other hyung jealous.” The older one laughed. 

Riki’s words got stuck in his throat.

Jake shrugged. “I like your scent too, Riki. I think I found my new favourite smell.” 

Oh no. 

Riki opened his mouth to say something when pain hit his every muscle again. 

Jake seemed to notice instantly. Call them alpha instincts. 

“Hey- Riks, what do you need?” 

Riki almost cried from the pain. “I don’t know.” 

Jake nodded. “Okay- okay. That’s fine. Let me get you some pain killers- do you feel okay for a bath, hm?” Riki wanted to shake his head but he was so cold with sweat dripping off of him that a bath sounded very attractive. He nodded, and Jake smiled, getting out of bed. 

Riki caught onto his wrist.

Riki was sure his body was getting a mind of his own because what the fuck was he doing? 

“Don’t leave me.” Yes, Riki’s dignity flew out of the window. He was sure. He would never live this down. He wanted to dig a hole and die, then have his members tell everyone that he wrestled a bear and that was his demise. 

“Please.” Riki added. 

Oh my god, could he not stop talking?

Jake searched his face. “I’m not going anywhere, baby.” This damn nickname. 

“I don’t think it’s smart for me to be there when you shower though, hm? ‘ll be just outside the door. I promise.” Rik wanted to whine but he stopped himself. These omega instincts were going to kill him- like put an end to him. Gone was nonchalant Riki, Riki grimaced at the thought. 

Jungwon ended up being there when Riki was taking a bath, their leader and head alpha sitting on the toilet seat as he watched over their omega. Riki didn’t want to be alone and the presence of one of his pack alphas next to him gave him a sense of overwhelming comfort. 

Riki sighed content when he felt the hot water touch his cool skin.

“Good?” Jungwon asked.

Riki nodded happily, purring. 

…

Purring?

He looked at Jungwon who almost burst out laughing. 

“Jake-hyung’s going to be so mad at me.” The leader said. 

Riki tilted his head. “What-?” 

Jungwon shook his head. “No- nothing, Rik-yah. Don’t worry.” 

Riki groaned and sank further in the water, making bubbles with his mouth. 

“I hate this.” The maknae said. 

Jungwon nodded. “I’d hate it too. You looked close to death yesterday.” 

Riki rolled his eyes. “Very helpful, hyung.”

Jungwon snorted. But then he turned slightly serious and continued. “You know you’re still the same in our eyes, right? No matter your subgender.” 

Riki froze. Yes, he was worried about that. He was worried his members were going to start treating him like something that was meant to obey alpha’s commands, that they would treat him like a fragile piece of glass. 

He loved the relationship he had with his hyungs and if that bond was ever broken, he was sure he would cry. Fully sob and then probably move to another country- maybe Australia? 

He sighed. “Thanks, hyung.” Riki said and Jungwon smiled softly. 

“Your scent’s really nice, by the way. Fits you.” The head alpha said and Riki preened at the praise. “Although, I think you were the last one to realise you would be an omega.” Jungwon shrugged. 

“That’s not true.” Riki said. “Everyone thought I’d be a beta.” 

“By everyone you mean you convince yourself that you’d be one?” Jungwon raised an eyebrow. 

Riki remained silent. 

And then he glared at Jungwon. 

“Ok- so if everyone was so smart- why did no one tell me?” He pointed. 

Jungwon raised his arms. “We thought you knew!”

Riki scrunched his nose. “My ass.” 

Someone knocked on the door. “Yeah!” Jungwon screamed. 

“It’s me, I have towels!” Sunoo screamed from the other side. 

Riki sighed in relief. “Come in!” He said.

Sunoo walked inside and grimaced. “You look like shit.” 

Riki rolled his eyes and Jungwon pinched Sunoo. “Hyung!”

Sunoo just smiled, and leaned against the sink. “How’re you holding up, Ki?” 

Riki shrugged. “I feel like my body is trying to burn itself alive.” 

Jungwon winced. “Ouch.” 

Sunoo had a similar expression.

That’s when Rik saw it, the jacket he had an obsession with yesterday and his cheeks burned bright red in embarrassment. He couldn’t believe how attached he was to it, and the fact he could now smell how the scent of fresh coffee and caramel mixed with his own vanilla creating the perfect odour, not too strong but just enough to make Riki’s head spin. 

“You’re whipped.” Sunoo said, a hint of amusement in his voice. 

Jungwon nodded in agreement. “He is.” 

Riki grumbled under his breath. “I am not- he just smells good.” 

Jungwon rolled his eyes. “Uh-huh.” 

Sunoo hissed and pretended like he was hit in the heart. “And us! What about us!” 

Jungwon laughed. 

Riki just shrugged. “I don’t know what you guys smell like- everything felt mixed yesterday.” 

The two alphas hummed. 

“Do you want to know?” Sunoo asked softly, his voice taking another tone. 

Riki contemplated. It probably would be a good idea to get used to the other's scent so he wouldn't be overwhelmed each time one of them had to get close. Plus he knew that scent blockers could get very itchy so he wasn’t fond of the idea of his hyungs wearing it for too long. 

“Mhm.” He nodded, curious. 

Jungwon smiled and reached to ruffle Riki’s damp hair. “Ok- we’ll try and be faint, hm?” 

Ah yes, the ever responsible head alpha. 

“Okayyy.” Riki sang. 

Sunoo took off his blocker first and offered Riki his wrist. 

Dark chocolate, sweet but quite strong, fitting of Sunoo and his whole personality. It wrapped around him softly and soothed Riki.

 The maknae opened his eyes. 

“It fits you, hyung.” Riki said sincerely.

Sunoo smirked. “I know.” 

Then it was Jungwon’s turn, who did the same and offered Riki his wrist. Riki took a sniff and opened his eyes in shock. “It’s strong.” 

Sunoo laughed. “Right? Remember that one time Heeseung got a headache, Jungwon here mistakenly forgot to control his pheromenes." Jungwon sighed. 

“It was one  time.” 

Campfire, burning logs. It was quite opposite of what he expected but the more he thought about it, the more it fit Jungwon. Plus, it complimented well his scent of s’mores, giving quite the summer camp vibe. 

He let go of Jungwon’s worst and scrunched his nose. “I think my heat’s too strong right now because that feels really strong.” The omega said and Jungwon chuckled.

“Don’t worry, Riks. I can control it.” 

“Now.” Sunoo snickered. 

Riki just focused back on the smell emitting from the jacket. 

Mistakenly, he released his own scent. 

“Woah- woah.” Sunoo said, grabbing a towel and covering his nose. 

Jungwon grimaced. “Riks- we get it- Jake’s scent is your favourite but your kinda making our alphas scream.” 

Riki blushed in embarrassment. “Oh- sorry.” He brushed the back of his neck.

Sunoo sighed. “For something so sweet, it sure fills the air.” 

Riki groaned. “I’m going to kill both of you.” 

Jungwon raised an eyebrow. “You love us.” 

Riki just stuck his tongue out. 

As he was ushered into the kitchen, which was practically the same room as their living area. He plopped down next to Jake, who just allowed Riki to curl up beside him, arm wrapping around the omega, and Riki inhaled Jake’s scent, unknowingly nosing at his neck as he felt Jake release his pheromones to calm Riki’s heat. 

Jay was preparing food, and Riki already knew the strong old red wine smell was his. It went without saying it fit the fancy vibe Jay prided himself for. Even with the blocker, he could feel the faint traces of it. He also realised Jake was the only one not wearing one and Riki’s omega almost purred. Keyword- almost. 

“Hey, Riki-ah. How are you feeling?” Jay asked, focused on the meal he was preparing. Riki hummed. 

“Like shit- but your guy’s scents make it better.” 

“By you guys, he means Jake, by the way.” Sunoo said as he walked in the room, followed by Jungwon. 

Riki threw a pillow at him. 

Jake laughed in Riki’s ear and the sound made Riki almost ascend to another dimension. Was it always this pretty? 

Jay chuckled. “Why am I not surprised?” 

Riki whined and snuggled further into Jake who just shifted slightly to bring Riki’s legs over his lap. “You guys are rude.” If Riki was in the right state of mind, he probably would have cursed his members out, but he was in heat and the way Jake tended to him made him feel like he was over the moon. 

Jay placed some noodle soup in Riki’s lap and Riki looked up. “Thanks, hyung.” 

Jay chuckled. “Anything for my favourite maknae.” 

Jungwon threw a spoon at him. “Rude.” 

Jay glared at him. “Hey!”

Sunoo raised an eyebrow. “You’re talking as if he isn’t all of our favourite.” 

Riki felt Jake shake with laughter. “True.” 

Riki purred at that. 

Oh no. 

Riki purred at that.

Jake froze, Jay was in a similar state. 

Jungwon gaped.

Sunoo looked like he was enjoying every second. 

“Why is everyone frozen?” Sunghoon walked in. 

Jay looked at the former figure skater. (who was also his boyfriend, but don’t tell anyone Riki said that). 

“Riki purred.” Sunoo answered, focusing back on his phone. 

And apparently that was a significant event as Heeseung poked his head in. His eyes sparkling. “He purred?!” 

Jungwon pinched the bridge of his nose. “Oh no.” 

Sunoo nodded. “Apparently he purred to Jungwon earlier in the bathroom.” 

Jake’s eyes darkened. 

Or was that Riki’s imagination.

“What?” 

Jungwon groaned and hit his head on the counter. “Okay, hyung- f you want me to die just say so.” He said pointedly towards Sunoo. 

He was ignored as Heeseung almost pushed Jake away. “Please- can you do it again?” 

Riki blushed, in annoyance and embarrassment. 

Jake returned his attention to Riki and glared at Heeseung.

Heeseung sighed, sad. “Okay- okay.” 

Sunghoon walked towards Jay to which the slightly older wrapped an arm around his waist. “How are you feeling, Riki?” 

Riki groaned. Was everyone going to ask him that? 

“Like shit.” He answered.

Sunghoon nodded. “Fair enough.” 

They all forgot about Riki‘s purrs as everyone fussed over what their only omega needed, from food to blankets to offering to carry him everywhere. Riki would’ve agreed if he wanted to completely get rid of his dignity. 

Plus- he was quite comfortable practically sitting in Jake’s lap. 

Riki practically slept through his heat. 

His mind cleared up and he made sense of what being an omega meant. 

It was also the day where he didn't wake up next to Jake. 

He missed waking up next to the older man, the arm that wrapped around his waist, the scent that enveloped him-

Oh no.

oh nonononono.

OH NO. 

two legends and a giant

riki: I LIKE HIM

sunoo: well good morning to you too

jungwon: you’re kind of the last to figure it out

riki: GUYS I LIKE JAKE

sunoo: no shit 

riki: HE LOOKS SO GOOD- HE SMELLS GOOD

riki: scratch that

rki: he’s fucking perfect

riki: and oh my god

riki: i WAS SO WEIRD TO HIM DURING MY HEAT

riki: what if he is going to hate me

sunoo: riki chill out i can smell your distress from here

jungwon: im gonna come to ur room

riki: WHAT IF HE FINDS ME WEIRD

riki: WHAT IF I MADE HIM UNCOMFORTABLE

sunoo: it’s too early for this

sunoo: good luck jungwon

“So who made you wake up to reality?” Jungwon asked as he stepped inside Rik’s room, Riki sighed, and hit his head on the wall.

‘I want to die.” The maknae said.

The head alpha snorted. “You’re dramatic.”

“I’ve never liked anyone before!” Riki said, arms crossed, full pout on his face.

Jungwon gaped.

“What…?”

Riki groaned. “I haven’t! I barely know anyone except you guys!”

Jungwon shook his head. “No- no- Riki. I’m just asking because literally all of us thought you liked Jake from well before. I’m sure even he thought it himself.”

Riki turned to stare at his leader, horrified.

“You’re joking.”

Jungwon shook his head. “no- not really. We all assumed you two would be a thing. He was also the one who properly knew how to take care of you during your heat so-”

Riki looked like he was malfunctioning.

Jungwon snorted, this was going to be very fun until the two idiots realised how much they meant for one another, but who was Jungwon to intervene?

(Well, he was the head alpha so maybe a little bit of a push wouldn’t be bad.)

They were in the van together, after a day of tiring practice, Jungwon and Riki sitting close together as Riki felt the most comfortable with the second youngest. (except Jake). Riki didn’t spend as much time with Jake as before and he blamed the way the Australian made his heart jump all the way to his throat.

Riki and Jungwon were laughing at something Sunoo was saying and that’s how he ended up with his head leaning on the head alpha’s shoulder. Jay laughed.

“Aren’t our maknaes so cute?” The second oldest said and the car erupted into laughter, with the exception of Jake who was sitting in front, looking at the maknaes through the rearview mirror. 

Riki rolled his eyes. “You all are annoying.”

Heeseung reached over and booped his nose. “And you’re adorable.”

Jungwon laughed at the attention on them and nudged Riki with his shoulder.

“Hear that, Riki? We’re adorable.” Jungwon wrapped an arm around the maknae’s waist. Sunoo raised an eyebrow, smirking mischievously. Riki realised what Jungwon was trying to do.

“I hear- does being adorable mean not having to do the dishes tonight?” Riki batted his eyelashes. He even released some of his scent so the act would be more believable, threw in a purr.

The car turned silent.

“You two are evil.” Sunghoon said, leaning against Jay.

Sunoo burst into laughter. “All of you are whipped for our omega.”

Heeseung chuckled. “And you aren’t?”

Sunoo shrugged. “Hey- at least I’m not as bad as Jake-hyung or Jungwon.”

Jungwon snorted. “He’s adorable, can you blame me?”

Riki laughed so hard his stomach started hurting. “Yeah- yeah, leave the autographs for later.”

“Yah!” Jay shouted which once again made the car erupt into laughter. 

Riki was oblivious to the stare Jake was giving him and Jungwon.


He was only kind of ignoring the Australian because he didn’t know how to act on these new found feelings. So- what better way than to suppress your emotions to not make a fool of yourself? Plus, Jungwon and Sunoo were there to support him through his crises so he didn’t think he had it that bad.

two legends and a giant 

riki: do you guys want to order?

sunoo: hell yeah

jungwon: im sure jay-hyung doesn't really want to cook today so

riki: that’s because sunghoon is glued to his lap hello

sunoo: honorifics???

riki: ew what are those

jungwon: k i’ll tell everyone we’re ordering

riki: YOU’RE THE BEST HYUNG

sunoo: dare i say

sunoo: favouritism

riki: dare i say

riki: jealous?

sunoo: the only who’s jealous is jake

riki: im confused

sunoo: don’t worry 

They sat at the table, take out placed in front of them as they were happily chatting about everything and anything. He was sat between Jungwon and Sunoo, as always. 

Heeseung munched on his foot until he pointed his chopsticks towards Jake. “You know- one thing I don’t understand.” 

Jake raised an eyebrow. And holy shit- that’s hot.

Sunoo snorted when Riki’s eyes widened.

Riki stepped on his foot and Sunoo hissed.

Jungwon chuckled.

“What?” Jake asked, confused.

Heeseung shrugged. “You were the only one who knew how to take care of Riki in heat, and we all haven’t been so close with an omega before. So- how’d you do it?”

And if Riki’s cheeks started burning bright red then he blamed the fact that their food was spicy. Sunoo choked on his food. Riki was sure the one dubbed as ‘sunshine’ was having the time of his life while Riki’s world was spiraling as they were talking.

Jay laughed out loud. “Is cause this dude is a fuckin’ player-”

Riki stopped breathing.

“Oh no.” Jungwon sighed. 

Sunghoon’s eyes widened and he pinched the older alpha. Jay was confused. “What? It’s true! Apparently he used to get so many confessions from omegas before debut-” Jay turned to look at Jake, turning the conversation to English for a split second.

“Come on, back me up here.”

Jake snorted as he and Jay first bumped. “What can I say? I am a ladies man.”

Heeseung snorted as he continued eating. Sunghoon glared at Jay and Jake. Jay was oblivious and Jake just hummed.

Sunoo stopped laughing and turned to check on Riki.

Riki was breathing hard, chest heaving. He hasn’t even thought about the fact that Jake probably didn’t even like men. Who was he kidding? He was doomed for failure. Everyone probably read into the whole “Jake and Riki” thing wrong and ended up making him delusional as well.

He felt Jungwon place a hand on his thigh. He wanted to be grateful for the comfort but all he could feel was his food wanting to come back out of his system.

Jake was taking care of him because he was used to doing it with other omegas. Even though the thought left a bitter taste in Riki’s mouth, who was he to think that he and the older alpha might have something special? He would never have Jake look at him in the way Jay looked at Sunghoon.

He lost his appetite and breathed in sharply, pushing his plate away.

Sunghoon noticed, because of course he did. There was a reason they were nicknamed “destinyz”. “You okay, Riki?”

Everyone at the table turned to look at him, for a split second he swore he could see Jake’s eyes flicker to Jungwon’s hand on his thigh.

“I’m good-” He cleared his throat. “I’m great- I just- I think I ate too much.”

Sunoo opened his mouth. “You barely touched your food.” HIs eyebrows were furrowed with worry.

Riki laughed. “Oh- haha! I’m okay, don’t worry! I just- I need to- I need to take a shit.”

The omega got up and left, leaving everyone at the table dumbfounded.

Jungwon got up as well. “I’m going after him.” The leader left.

Jake huffed. “Of course you fuckin’ are.” It was so quiet no one even heard him.

“Damn- he probably really needs to shit.” Jya said.

Sunghoon bonked him on the head.

“Hey!”

“You’re a fucking idiot, you know that?” Sunghoon said to his boyfriend.

Jay was utterly confused.

Heeseung and Sunoo exchanged a look, and Sunoo tried to communicate how dumb his whole conversation was with just eye expressions. Heeseung was, at the same time, confused as fuck. Sunoo knew Heeseung was aware about the tension between Jake and Riki but context clues were really not the oldest greatest strong suit.

“Are you having an aneurysm?” Heeseung asked Sunoo.

Sunoo groaned.

Jake got up, without saying a single word.

“Am I missing something?” Jay. Of fucking course.

“Oh my god-” Sunoo wanted to die.

“Riki- it’s me. Jungwon-hyng.” Jungwon knocked on the door. Riki didn’t want the leader to see him covered in snot. He was in his room’s bathroom, which he thought he locked but apparently not.

“Go away!” Riki shouted.

“Nope! I am staying right here!” Jungwon shouted back.

Riki groaned. “I’m having explosive diarrhea!"

“And I'm going to kick the door down!”

Riki sighed and opened the door, he wouldn’t put it past Jungwon. 

Jungwon entered. “You okay?”

Riki glared at him. “Yes, hyung. I am over the fucking moon.”

Jungwon sighed. “You know they were probably just playing?”

Riki shook his head. “He probably doesn’t even like men, didn’t you hear the whole thing about being a ladies man? I wanted to vomit.” The omega said, voice breaking as he hiccuped a sob.

“Oh- Riki….” Jungwon said and came to gather the maknae in a hug.

Riki was sobbing in Jungwon’s chest, and Jungwon tried his best to comfort him. He released his campfire scent to try and soothe Riki which to his benefit, it kind of did.

A knock on the door startled both of them.

“Oh-” Jake.

Why was it always fucking Jake?

Riki stayed silent, he wasn’t even sure he could look into the Australian’s eyes right now.

Jungwon froze.

“This room smells like you.” Jake sad towards Jungwon, and Riki just buried himself further into Jungwon’s chest, not wanting to be part of the conversation in the slightest.

However, Riki decided to let go and shoot a smile at Jake.

“Jungwon-hyung was just helping me.” The maknae said. “Sorry for leaving so abruptly.”

Jake narrowed his eyes. “Are you sure you’re fine, baby?”

Riki gulped. “Mhm. Perfect.”

A moment of silence passed.

“I’ll take a shower now.” Riki said and got up from Jungwon’s embrace, locking the door to the bathroom behind him. He just wanted to escape the room, and to escape Jake’s searching eyes. He couldn’t bear it in the slightest.

Jake stared at Jungwon, Jungwon stared back. The leader was protective of the maknae and the fact Jake hurt him, even unknowingly while knowing how much Riki loved him irked Jungeon the wrong way.

Jake didn't talk, just clicked his tongue and left the room.

two legends and a giant

sunghoon: were you dropped on your head a kid

sunghoon: be honest

jake: fuck you sunghoon im sad

sunghoon: and i want a vacation

It’s been a few weeks since that whole fiasco and Riki wasn’t all that much better. 

Especially now since he had to look all happy for an award show, no hint of heartbreak or sadness. His stylist was fixing his outfit when Jungwon and Sunoo came over.

Jungwon smiled while Sunoo wolf whistled.

“Aren’t you handsome?” Sunoo joked and the omega laughed.

“You guys look good too.” Riki said and Sunoo winked, while Jungwon hummed.

The two alphas offered Riki their arms as they walked outside of the dressing area.

“He’s all over him!” Jake cried to Sunghoon. 

Sunghoon grimaced.

“Please, God, give me patience.” The former figure skater said.

During the event, Riki was stuck to Jungwon like glue. He was the only member who knew the actual extent of Riki’s feelings, with Sunoo close behind. Sunoo just wandered after them, sometimes picking up an alcoholic beverage that was offered to him. Riki did the same, to forget about why he was heartbroken in the first place.

He could feel himself getting a bit dizzy from the amount of alcohol he and Sunoo drank.

Jake came up behind Riki. “Hey, Riki-ah, you should probably slow down.”

Riki squeaked in surprise, and hid behind Sunoo.

Sunoo laughed.

Jungwon just sighed. “Guys, come on.”

Riki smiled happily. “Wonie-hyung!”

Jay came and placed an arm around Jake. “They’re doomed, huh?” The alpha that smelled like expensive wine snorted.

Jake’s scent soured when he saw how Jungwon dragged Riki and Sunoo after him.

“Man- hey. Chill out.” Heeseung said. 

Sunghoon groaned.

“You stink.”

Jake spluttered. “Hey!”

Jay laughed again.

Towards the end of the event, after they had taken pictures and all of that, Riki and Sunoo were both gone, one more than the other. While Sunoo just had to lean onto Sunghoon to walk, Riki was practically jelly.

Jungwon groaned. “Okay-hang on-”

But he was stopped by Jake. Jungwon just raised an eyebrow.

“If that isn’t an alpha stand-off, I don’t know what is-” Sunoo whispered to Sunghoon. Sunghoon agreed.

“Let me- please.” Jake said, almost pleading. Jungwon sighed and moved away.

Riki was just giggling as Jake bent down to carry him bridal style. “Oh my god- Jake-hyung!”

Jake chuckled at Riki’s spike in pheromones, the maknae was really happy.

“I miss you, hyung!” Riki buried his face in Jake’s chest as the older man carried him to the van.

“Ok, let’s give them a bit of privacy.” Jungwon said as they stopped to let Jake and Riki walk a bit further than them in order to keep an eye on them and give them privacy.

“I miss you too, baby.” Jake whispered.

Riki happily hummed. “You’re so caring” Riki was slurring his words. Jake was sure the omega would forget his words in the morning. He let his own scent of coffee try and mask the smell of alcohol off of Riki.

“Hyung! Your scent! Did you know it’s my favourite?" Riki said.

Jake’s heart almost leaped out of his chest. He looked down and saw Riki nuzzling into his chest.

“Your scent is my favourite too, Riki.”

Riki giggled, and then a soft rumble from his chest followed. It didn’t take long to register the maknae was purring in Jake’s arms.

Jake missed having the youngest like this, these soft moments that were usually only reserved for Jake.

He basks in the attention from Riki longer as he knew he had already lost the fight and the maknae’s heart wasn’t his to hold. It never will be.

When they got back to the dorm, Jay ushered Sunoo to bed while Heeseung and Sunghoon went to help Riki who was on the verge of puking his entire intestines out.

Jungwon sighed, a headache coming in. Jake almost felt sorry for their leader if he wasn’t jealous.

“Jungwon?” Jake said.

Jungwon hummed. “Yeah?”

“Can we talk?” Jake asked. 

Jungwon narrowed his eyes but sighed. “Of course, hyung.”

That’s how they ended up sitting in Jake’s room, Jake avoiding Jungwon’s eyes.

“Are you two a thing?” Jake said.

Jungwon stopped. “Uh- what?”

Jake looked up to find Jungwon looking utterly confused.

“Aren’t you and Riki a- you know? A thing?”

Jungwon’s mouth almost fell to the floor.

“Hyung. How are you this much of an idiot?”

Jake growled. 

Jungwon raised his hands in surrender. “First of all, I’m your leader, chill. Second, we’re not a thing??”

Jake rolled his eyes. “Don’t lie, Jungwon, I’ve seen you two.”

Jungwon gaped. “You’ve seen what exactly?” 

Jake made an awkward hand movement. “The touchy moments, the way you try and scent him!”

“I never did!”

“Then why was his room smelling like you then?”

Jungwon was on the verge of a very bad migraine.

“Because you made him fuckin’ sad!”

Jake stopped.

“Waht?”

Jungwon groaned. “Look- hyung. I honestly love you but you practically spent Riki’s heat with him as a newly presented omega, and we both knew you were aware of his feelings! So when you said that you had ‘experience’, it fucking broke Riki!” Jungwon practically shouted, his head alpha voice blooming through his chest towards Jake.

Jake mulled over what Jungwon said.

“Aware of his feelings?” 

Jungwon gaped. 

Again.

“Don’t tell me- oh my god. You are a match made in heaven.”

Jungwon got up. “Hyung, figure it out. I won’t steal Riki from you, but someone will.” 

The leader said and Jake growled again.

“Watch it, Jungwon.”

“I am.” Jungwon said and left the room.

sunghoon: uh huh sure

It was time for an award show. 

Same old, same old. 

They got ready, they performed. 

They all wore scent blockers even if they were itchy as fuck.

START OF WARNING 



Riki had to go to the bathroom, his scent blocker getting unbeatable, he asked for a change from one of their staff and hoped to everything in existence no one would be there. 

Just as he took it off, someone entered and Riki’s eyes widened in fear. 

Fuck. 

There were two men that walked in. Riki quickly realised they were both alpha from a newly debuted group. Their leader and their rapper.

Riki prayed they would just ignore him. 

However, that wasn’t the case as one of them whistled while the other just stared.

Fuck. 

He wasn’t feeling comfortable in the situation at all so his omega was just whining, begging for him to find an escape.

“Who knew Enhypen’s maknae was an Omega?” The leader chuckled.

Riki gulped. He faked a smile. “Yeah, haha.” 

The rapper took a sniff at his neck and they backed Riki into the wall. Riki did the first thing that he could think of, pressed the button for his emergency contact.

“It should be expected- look at those damn legs.” The rapper placed his hand on Riki’s hip and Riki hissed.

“Don’t touch me.”

The rapper laughed. “Fiesty.”

The leader did the same and buried his face in Riki’s neck. Riki thrashed, trying to get away but the stupid alpha strength was no match so he ended up just jerking around. 

“Fuck- he smells so fucking sweet-” The leader said.

Riki was on the verge of tears.

“Help! HELP ME!” He screamed but the two just ended up covering his mouth.

“Who’s going to help you, pretty boy?”

They laughed.

“Yeah, we just want to have fun!”

Riki was sobbing and jerking in their hold. He was doomed, no one was going to come for him. 

END OF WARNING 

“GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF OF HIM!” Everything happened in a blur, he just saw Jake and Jungwon jump on the two alphas, Jake holding the one who had a hold of his hips and drawing his fist back to properly punch him square in the face.

Riki’s back hit Sunghoon's chest as the alpha who smelled of black orchid hugged Riki tightly, Jay standing in front of them and Heeseung’s pine resin scent trying to calm Riki down. Sunoo glared at the two alphas.

“Who gave you the fucking right to touch our omega?” Sunoo snarled.

Jake growled as he was preparing himself to throw another punch. Jungwon stopped him. “Stop- hyung. Stop. Riki needs you.”

Jake turned his attention to Riki who was sobbing in Sunghoon’s chest.

“You are going to be fucking blacklister from every award show, veer.” Jungwon said, eyes darkened, head alpha in his full role. “You won’t perform, sing, or make any album again. Do you fucking hear me?” He crouched down to their level. 

Jake went to Riki, opened his arms. “Baby, Riki, shhh, it’s me.”

Riki jumped into Jake’s arms, holding onto the alpha like a lifeline. 

“It’s me, baby. I’m here. I’ve got you.” Jake whispered, guiding Riki out of the bathroom to let the other members deal with those two bastards.

“Hyung…” Riki sobbed.

“I got your call, Riki. I know- I’m so sorry.” Riki forgot he had Jake saved as an emergency contact.

Riki buried himself further into Jake.

“I was so scared-” Riki breathed out.

Jake nodded, tightening his grip on Riki. “I know- I know, baby. Try and calm down for me, love.” Riki felt Jake try and scent the air around him but Riki’s omega brain was already fogged up and he looked at Jake with glossy eyes.

“H-hyung-” He croaked out.

Jake hummed.

“C-can you scent- can you scent me?” Riki tried, quietly. Jake froze, holding Riki in his arms. He pulled away just slightly to look him properly in the eyes.

“Riki…are you sure, love?” Jake asked.

Riki nodded. “Please…”

He was in so much distress and the sole idea of being wrapped in Jake’s smell brought him comfort. 

“Okay.” Jake said.

“I need you to calm down first, love. Please. I want to be gentle.” Jake whispered.

Riki sucked in a breath. “I’ll try…”

The alpha brought his scent gland close to Riki’s and Riki jumped at the electricity from it. Jake hummed low in his throat as he rubbed his hands along Riki’s waist and sides, trying to bring comfort to the omega.

Riki closed his eyes and focused on the feeling of Jake’s scent gland against his and how his legs became mush while the alpha released his scent, covering Riki from head to toe. Riki almost lost his balance but Jake grunted and adjusted his hold on Riki, letting the younger lean against the wall as he scented him. 

The heat of the moment made Jake forget everything, it felt so right, so good to have Riki like this, that he pressed quick kisses along Riki’s jaw and neck, feeling how the omega was bracing himself by holding onto Jake’s biceps. 

He didn’t want to pull away but he also didn’t want to overwhelm the omega.

As he pulled away and took a step back, Jake’s eyes widened. Riki looked like a fucking masterpiece, chest heaving, breath slow, and a smile tugging at his lips as he was getting drunk off of Jake’s scent.

They didn’t know what this meant for them but both men could feel how the tension in the air shifted.

“Thanks, hyung.” Riki said, shyly.

That pulled on Jake’s heartstrings.

“Anytime, baby.”

And if anyone asked them what happened, they would both shrug. It felt like a sacred secret between them that no one but them should know. 

Even Jungwon and Sunoo were suspicious but they left Riki alone.

Back at their dorm, Riki ended up making a nest. 

The whole situation distressed him and he asked to be alone for the night.

Jungwon and Sunoo protested but he insisted.

But when Jake came to knock on his door, Riki immediately let him in.

“Do you need anything?” Jake asked.

Riki shook his head.

“Can- Can I have a hug?”

Jake’s eyes softened and went to wrap his arms around his omega, who was still very much smelling like him.

“I’m sorry.” Jake whispered into Riki’s hair. 

Riki sighed, content in the alpha’s arms. 

It was movie night in the Enhypen dorms and Riki was cuddled between Jungwon and Sunoo, purring happily as they doted on him each time the omega would move. Don’t tell anyone but Riki quite enjoyed his pack alphas being all over him. Not as much as he enjoyed Jake being all over him but that was a conversation for an entirely different time.

Jake was chewing on his straw in annoyance. Riki still went to Jungwon and Sunoo each time he would need something, and Jake got extremely annoyed and downright jealous. 

Jay and Sunghoon were cuddling, Heeseung resting his back onto Jay’s legs. 

Riki’s purring increased when Jungwon scratched a certain part of his head. 

“Aren’t you loud?” Sunoo teased.

Riki rolled his eyes. “Excuse my instincts.”

Jungwon chuckled. “He’s trying to say it’s cute.” 

Riki giggled.

And that is when Jake snapped. 

“Dude!” Jay threw popcorn at him as he blocked the screen when he got up and leaned down to grab onto Riki. 

“We need to talk.” Jake said.

Riki’s eyes widened.

Oh no. 

And the traitors, Jungwon and Sunoo, didn’t even hold onto him, they let Jake drag the omega away. 

As they exited the room, silence followed.

“Should we follow-?” Jay asked.

“No.” The other members said in unison.

Jay just scrunched his nose. “Geez, okay.” The alpha pouted. 

Jake brought them into Riki’s room, closing the door behind them. 

Riki was confused, he just watched silently as Jake tried to make sense of himself and looked up at Riki, eyes darkened.

“You realise what you’re doing to me?” Jake asked through gritted teeth.

Oh holy shit.

Riki squeaked as he was backed into the wall.

“You can’t just-“ Jake shook his head. 

Riki waited patiently.

“You can’t just ask me to scent you? allow mw into your nesg and go runnin back to Jungwon, Riki.” Jake said, exhaling breathily. The omega’s eyes widened. 

“Don’t lead me on, Riki.” Jake said.

Riki was shocked.

“Lead you on?” 

Rage bubbled in his chest as he pointed a finger towards Jake. “You led me on, hyung!” 

Jake blinked.

“You spent my first heat with me! Wrapped me in your scent! Fucking slept in my bed- and I led you on?!” Riki was shouting now, tears forming at the corner of his eyes. 

“I tried to step away but you make it so fucking hard, hyung! You come rescue me, you carry me all the while you’re probably changing omega’s every other night!” Riki cried. Jake froze, eyes locked onto the omega.

“So don’t fucking tell me I led you on when you started all of this all of those months ago.” Riki finished, and by the end tears were running down his cheeks. 

Jake stopped. 

And he cracked a laugh. 

Riki’s annoyance spiked.

“You’re laughing?!” 

Jake clutched his stomach and shook his head. 

“No- baby- sprry-“ He calmed himself down and grabbed Riki’s hands in hia. 

“We’re both idiots.” Jake said.

Riki tilted his head. 

He never thought he would find himself in this predicament with Jake ever in his life. 

“Sorry?” Riki snapped.

Jake brushed his fingers over Riki’s knuckles and brought them to his lips as he kissed the inside of Riki’s wrists. 

Riki let out an involuntary purr.

“You drive me insane.” Jake whispered. “In the best way possible.”

This couldn’t be happening, not now. Riki was sure he was dreaming. 

“I like you so much, Riki. I think I’m in love with you.” Jake said. Riki gasped as Jake stepped even closer towards him. 

“I got jealous- so fucking jealous. I mean- jungwon hogging you every second of the day really fucked up my dumb alpha brain. I just- I just accepted your heart would never be mine.”

Riki gaped like he was brain dead.

“Holy shit.” Riki said.

Jake huffed a laugh. “Yeah.”

“I thought you didn’t like men!” Riki shouted, and then covered his mouth. It was Jake’s turn to look brain dead.

“Uhm- sorry? I thought me spending your heat with you was obvious?” Jake said.

Riki groaned. “I- how are we this dumb?”

Jake shrugged. “Beats me.”

“I like you as well, hyung. A lot- probably way too much than what would be considered healthy.” Riki admitted. Jake smiled and placed his hands on Riki’s waist, looking up at the omega.

“Is this okay?”

Riki breathed out, nodded.

Riki placed his hands on Jake’s chest, his back pressed against the door.

“Can I kiss you, hyung?” Riki asked.

Jake smiled.

“Please.”

Riki pressed his lips against Jake’s, warily at first and then gasping when the older gripped his waist. It was electric, it was everything Riki thought a first kiss would be, his toes were tingling as well as he positioned his head so Jake had better access. Slowly, he brought his hands around Jake’s shoulders, trying to memorise every part of Jake that the Australian let him feel. Their scents mixed together like they were trying to form the perfect morning latte. It was everything and more.

Jake hummed happily when Riki’s hands reached his hair. One hand left Riki’s waist to cup his cheek as Riki sighed, content. Riki wanted this moment to last forever. Jake’s lips were so soft, and he was kissing Riki with so much passion and intent it made the omega’s legs go weak. 

They pulled apart. 

Jake’s lips were bitten and swollen and Riki wondered if he looked the same.

“Fuck- Riki. You look like a fuckin’ dream.” Jake said and dived his head again to kiss the omega, more rushed this time, not taking his time and Riki gasped once again. Jake’s tongue ran over Riki’s lips as if he was asking for permission which Riki granted access easily, fingers tangling and Jake’s hair, getting a groan from the older man. 

Jake’s hands were on Riki’s hips, pressing him against the door as he savoured Riki. Riki was sure that proper oxygen wasn’t reaching his brain as Jake tried to memorise every inch of the maknae. “Hyung-” Riki gasped, but pulled Jake back in, tilting his head.

“You’re amazing.” Jake whispered, low in his throat.

He placed a kiss on Riki’s jaw.

“Is this okay?”

Riki leaned his head against the door, giving Jake better access. “You’re perfect.” Riki whispered and Jake took it as confirmation to leave wet kisses along Riki’s neck, reaching his exposed collar bone. Riki’s legs trembled. 

“I’ve got you, love.” Jake whispered, smirking against Riki’s neck. 

Riki whined.

He felt Jake sucking on a particular spot on his neck, and he saw stars. He never imagined himself in this situation- with Jake nonetheless. 

“Hyung- Jake-” Riki whispered as the alpha sucked on that spot, making sure to kiss it after as he saw a faint mark forming. Jake placed his hand at the back of Riki’s thighs and hoisted him up, surprising Riki for a quick second as he wrapped his legs around Jake’s waist.

“Still okay?” Jake asked. 

Riki nodded. “I’ve waited for this for so long- it’s more than okay.”

Jake chuckled and pressed a firmer kiss on Riki’s lips. 

“I love you so much.” Jake said.

Riki chuckled. “I love you too.” 

When they left the room, Riki distinctively had  quite a couple of marks covering his neck, contrasting with his pale skin. 

Jake looked so proud as Riki flushed.

“Good to know you two had fun.” Jay snorted. 

“You owe me!” Sunoo laughed as he jumped on the couch. 

Jungwon groaned and slid Sunoo his card. 

Sunghoon looked like that one specific pikachu meme with a surprised face.

Heeseung looked like he witnessed a crime.

Riki rolled his eyes. “We just kissed and confessed. Nothing happened.” 

Jake nodded, as he pulled Riki by the waist to sit in his lap.

“I’m going to kill him.” Sunghoon whispered to Sunoo and Jungwon. The other two maknaes laughed. 

“Please do- this was painful to watch.” Jungwon joked.

Jake shot him a playful glare and Jungwon winked at him.

Riki purred once again. “Please don’t. I’m comfortable.” 

Heeseung stared at Jake and then pointed two fingers towards him, signaling he was watching the Australian closely. The alpha who smelled like caramel and coffee gulped, hiding behind Riki. 

“In all honesty, guys. We’re happy you two figured it out.” Jungwon said, all of their attention snapped towards their head alpha.

Just as Jake was about to welcome him, Jungwon glared. “Because if you ever make Riki cry again, I’m hunting you down and ripping you apart.”

Sunoo nodded. “Very much agreed.”

The room was silent.


Riki laughed. “You guys do love me!” 

“Take care of our maknae, Jake.” Jay said.


Heeseung agreed. “He’s precious.”


Riki groaned. “I am twenty years old.”

“And?” Sunghoon added. 

Riki sighed but just made himself comfortable in Jake’s lap. 

“Don’t worry, guys. I love him too much to let anything else hurt him.”

The room awed while Sunoo and Jay stuck their tongues out.

“Gross.” They whispered in unison.

As the news of the new couple died down, Jake leaned to whisper in Riki’s ear.

“You know, love- I forgot to ask” Jake started, Riki hummed.

“Will you be mine?” The alpha asked and the omega giggled quietly, turning around to press a quick kiss to Jake’s lips.

“Only if you’ll be mine.”

The alpha chuckled at the omega’s antics. “Alwayas.” 

“GET A ROOM!” Jay threw a pillow a t them.


“Says you?” Heeseung said.


The room laughed but Riki didn’t miss how Jungwon and Sunoo fist bumped quietly when they thought no one was watching.
