Chapter 13 - Mate

SOOHA looked at Wooju who was looking at him with his serious face. The words coming out from Wooju's mouth earlier made him out of words. He looked down to his hands, trying to digest the words Wooju said.

"Let me protect you, Yoon Sooha," Wooju held on to Sooha's hands, tight.

"Let me protect you, from Seokwoo and his friends. From all the Alphas that has their eyes on you. Let me-"

Wooju stopped as Sooha lifted his head, looking at him with a smile on his face,

"I appreciated the thoughts, but how can you protect me when I cant even protect my self?"

Wooju looked at Sooha, don't ...

"I am tired with how I need to keep myself from emitting pheromones."

Don't do it, Yoon Sooha, Wooju held Sooha's hands tighter.

"I took pheromones blockers every day, that the side effects are making my head hurts all the time,"

Dont give up on yourself...

"I am tired of having to distant my self from making friends after knowing they are Alphas,"

Sooha looked at Wooju with a smile on his face, "Maybe I should just drop out and everything will be back just like how it used to be?"

"I dont have to wake up early for classes."

"I dont have to do group assignments with Alphas,"

Stop, Yoon Sooha.

"I dont wanna be here anymore,"

Wooju quickly hugged Sooha as soon as he end his words. He could hear the soft sobs coming out from Sooha. He patted on Sooha's back.

"I dont wanna live anymore,"

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

SOOHA opened his eyes when he felt the pain lingering on his skin. He never opened the curtain of his window that he found it weird to see it open when he woke up. He looked around, looking for traces of Wooju in his studio apartment, but the only thing he could see was him being himself alone in his room.

Sooha then smiled to himself. Wooju might went back home after he felt asleep last night.

Suddenly, Sooha was blushing. He suddenly remembered how he cried in his arms after telling him the incidents that happened with Seokwoo back then at school. He quickly covered himself with his blanket, remembering how Wooju was looking at him with his serious face when he told him that he wanted to protect him.

"You're awake?"

Sooha's eyes widened as soon as he heard the voice. He quickly sit up on his bed, looking at Wooju who was looking at him through the book shelf that separate his bed from the living room. He was silent, just looking at Wooju who was putting a plastic bag on the coffee table.

"I bought breakfast."

Sooha slowly took off from his bed as soon as he got a whiff of a good smell coming from the plastic bag that Wooju just brought. Wooju just smiled as he saw Sooha walking from his bed with his messy hair.

Sooha looked at Wooju setting up the table for them to have breakfast.

"I bought bread and mushroom sou-"

"Is it from the small stall in front of the building?" Sooha asked as he looked at Wooju with his excited face, cutting off Wooju's words.

Wooju nodded his head, "How do you know?"

Sooha walked towards the table, "The aunty hasn't open her stall for a week! I am craving having her mushroom soup for breakfast," he answered.

Wooju smiled. Just last night he saw Sooha being in his lowest moment, but seeing him all good in the morning could be something good for a start. Wooju patted on Sooha's head,

"If you wanna have breakfast, you can at least wash your face and brush your teeth first, Sooha,"

Wooju looked at Sooha walking towards the toilet with his pouty mouth. A smile was drawn on Wooju's face, as he was setting the table. He remembered how Sooha was behaving last night, but looking at Sooha's mood earlier, he cant help himself from being a little happy.

Wooju walked towards the kitchen,

"You're fine with coffee?"

"There should be some instant coffee in the cabinet. Jooha hyung always have them whenever he dropped by,"

Sooha's voice was heard from the bathroom. Wooju then searched the cabinets in the kitchen to search for the instant coffee that Sooha mentioned, "So, you're okay with coffee?" he asked again as his question was not answered.

"No, I'll just have plain water," Sooha answered before he closed the bathroom door.

Wooju looked around for the coffee again. He opened every cabinet, every drawer but there's still no sight of the instant coffee. But, when he opened one drawer near the sink, he saw a small white bottle inside.

As Wooju saw the small label, the bottle was suddenly snatched from his hand by Sooha. Wooju turned his head, looking at Sooha throwing the bottle in another drawer beside his bed. 

"What's that?" Wooju asked, as he walked towards Sooha who was heading towards the couch. 

"Nothing, it's just suppressants," Sooha said as he flopped on the couch. 

"It's a pheromone blocker, right?" 

Sooha looked at Wooju, "No, it's suppressants," 

"You don't need to lie." Wooju sighed as he flopped next to Sooha, "I took the same medicine too," 

"Huh?"

Wooju smiled as he turned his head looking at Sooha, "Well, after Jooha hyung said that you are having problems with Alpha pheromones, I took them so that I can be with you," he said, "However, there were times that I need to release them too," he added. 

Wooju looked at Sooha who was looking at him with his confused face. Wooju just chuckled. He patted on Sooha's head and took off from the couch, 

"Come on. The mushroom soup is gonna get cold if we dont eat now," 

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

SOOHA looked at Wooju who was walking ahead of him. Ever since that incident with Seokwoo, Wooju would walk with him to college, every day without fail. Sometimes he would even sleep over, with an excuse saying that he's too tired to move for the day. 

Sooha also noticed that Wooju's stuffs were gradually increasing in his apartment. Starting with his hoodie, later to his books and the latest one was his tablet. It's not that he's uncomfortable with it, but it feels a bit ... 

"You dont really mind if I crash here tonight, right?" Wooju looked at Sooha, looking all like he's almost dying of tiredness.

Like this.

Sooha looked at Wooju, "I told you, you dont really have to do this. I am fine,"

"NO,"

Wooju looked at Sooha with his serious face, "As long as you're with me, you're not gonna be in any danger," he said. 

"Danger of what? Seokw-"

"Dont say his name, I'm gonna kill him again and again if he ever lay his hands on you again," Wooju cut his words. 

Sooha sighed, "You're being too much," 

Wooju looked at Sooha, a bit surprised with his words, "Too much?" 

Sooha nooded his head. 

"How is helping you being safe is too much?"

"Helping me is fine, but you're too protective," Sooha said. 

"As long you're not going to agree letting me being your mate, you'll be seeing my face everyday," Wooju smiled as he patted on Sooha's head. He leaned closer to his face, "I'll wait for you, Yoon Sooha,"
