Use Me Like A Drug (omegaverse bl)-Chapter 62: We are precious

Yujun’s POV

I wake up to the sight of a head of thick dark curls resting on the bed next to my shoulder.

I blink twice to clear my blurred sight and I swallow, my throat feels dry and painful with the movement, I try to sit up and the action alerts the person next to me.

He lifts his head, and I see that it’s Yeon.

The older male omega looks exhausted even as his lips stretch into a warm smile, he has dark circles under his eyes, and his hair looks ruffled but somehow, he still manages to feel elegant and beautiful.

"Baby" he calls like I am a child of his, his voice warm and soft, "does anything hurt?" he asks and I shake my head, no.

"That’s odd, your body should be preparing for another wave of heat" he mutters to himself as he stretches his hand to rest his palm on my forehead and check my temperature.

I know I should still be heat dazed, but my head feels much clearer than it should.

"How do you feel?" he asks me and I open my mouth to respond but no words come out, my throat is sore from hours of screaming, fighting against unwanted pheromones and the running.

"Here, have some water" he says and presses a glass of cool water my lips, I don’t even question its safety as I gulp it down, choosing to trust the omega with my life.

"Yeon-ssi..." I call when I finally gain back my voice and he gives me his maximum attention, "Where is Jaehyun?" I ask carefully and he sighs, "he is busy trying to get himself killed" Yeon says and I blink in confusion.

"What?" I ask, "Don’t worry about him right now, how do you feel?" Yeon says.

"I feel...fine" I say and he frowns, "you shouldn’t be fine...I need to run an examination on you" he says worriedly as he checks my body before he pauses as realization fills his eyes.

"Were you knotted?" he asks and I whisper a yes.

"Those motherfuckers forced you?" he asked, his eyes turning blue as he asks and I shake my head, surprised at how much similarity his son has with him, the passion, the anger, the cursing.

"No...Jaehyun knotted me before..." my voice trails off as I speak and he blinks, the more he blinks the deeper shade of red my face turns.

"I didn’t need to know that" Yeon says under his breath and my cheeks burn even hotter, "I’m sorry" I say shyly, earning a laugh from the elegant man. "Cute" he says and bops my nose.

I stare at his hands, as he turns aside to prepare my breakfast.

When did my mother ever sit down by my bedside to look after me? When have I ever had my mother ask about my heat?

Yet, here is the enemy I should hate, being a mother to me better than my own mother.

"Why?" Yeon asks softly as he turns back to me and I smell the sadness in my pheromones, "Why are you being so kind to me?" I ask him quietly and I see him smile gently.

"Because I know what it’s like to be...us" he says, the light in his eyes dimming slightly as before it returns. "But...you’re so loved here" I say and sit up with my back rested on the headboard.

"It took a while before I got here...I was born somewhere else" he says and I can’t help the way my heart clenches with the look on his face.

"I always knew I wanted to take care of children since I was little and everyone else found me strange" he continues.

"I was the brain of the community; I grew crops for healing while the other boys learned to shoot and fight" he tilts his head at me. "The divine has a way of calling you in even before you realize it" he says and I understand what he means.

I remember when Yunah was born, the child I looked after and cherished for a long time. I remember taking care of her even more than mother did, I remember feeding her and comforting her...protecting her.

"When it was finally time to present, everyone expected me to be a beta, but I turned out an omega...a strange sight" he chuckles playfully. "You know it right? male omegas are a mistake of nature, a curse" he says and I nod in agreement. Those words are my mantra.

"Wrong" he says and pats my head gently.

"But it’s all I’ve heard all my life and it’s true...historically only four men have been recorded to be omegas" I say and Yeon hums.

"But did they tell you what those men did?" Yeon asks and I go quiet, they never say anything about what the omega men did...all we know is that they existed and they were a strange phenomenon.

"Baek Jisoo...saved a whole town from an avalanche, Lee Sookyung...changed the mind of the great emperor from going to a war that will end generations...each and every one of them were precious" Yeon says and my mouth falls open.

Precious.

The title Jaehyun called me when he took me.

"W-what happened when you presented?" I ask, needing to know everything, needing to understand why they treat me like I matter.

"They sold me to the nearest omega factory..." he says and my eyes widen, "I was driven away like some cattle to the place...my personal hell"

"The alphas were all fascinated by the shiny new omega, and they all wanted to see just how roughly they could shake me before I break" he takes a deep breath and pass the tray of food to me.

I look from the tray on my lap to his face; how can I possibly eat when he is sharing these with me? It almost feels like my heat has been put on hold and my omega is on its belly, bowing and listening to the older, worship worthy omega.

"Eat, you will need your strength" he says and nudge his chin to the food.

"Will you tell me everything?" I ask and I pick up the spoon, my hand shaking as I hold it up, "Yes, I promise" he says with a chuckle and gestures for me to eat.

I spoon the manduguk and look at him to keep speaking, "Aigoo...just like a baby" Yeon laughs as he pats my head and I duck shyly, unfamiliar with the amount of adoration I am receiving from him.

Jaehyun truly is his mother’s son in every way.

"I was abused in every way, and I know you know" he says and looks to the door when footsteps run by from outside the door, "I got pregnant with my first child by accident, and I didn’t want it" the mention of the pregnancy makes me drop my spoon again.

This time around, Yeon doesn’t encourage me to eat, instead he gives me a small smile. He looks like a man that experienced so much pain, but they don’t touch him...how? How can someone become this strong?

"I don’t know if it was a wish come true, but my child was snatched from me and left to die, I watched it all from the cage" he says and my omega whimpers in pain.

"Don’t be sad for me pup, it doesn’t hurt me anymore" he says and leans into me, holding my head and rubbing our noses together the way mothers do with their young pups.

"I want to tell you everything, pup...so much is about to change, and I can feel it in my bones" he says and I nod.

"I had seen so much and been hurt so much before my husband arrived and saved me...turned the whole clan upside down to make me his Luna" Yeon says and smiles as he spoke.

"My husband did everything it took to make sure myself and other omegas wouldn’t suffer injustice and abuse just for being...us" he says and my eyes drops to the untouched meal.

He is passing a message to me and I can tell...he is telling me why Jaehyun has been the way he has been to me, why he respects and treats omegas well.

"What do I do? You were just a child of the town...I am the expected alpha heir of my clan...I have the throne waiting for me" I say, his abuse came from people he can run from but mine, I can’t run away from my family.

"Baby, look at me" he orders and I do.

"If he doesn’t hurry and take you out of there, I will invade the Choi territory and do it myself" Yeon says, his omega flashing in his eyes with the intensity of the words and how much he means it.

"I..." I am about to speak when the loud sound of a gunshot pierces the air, and I startle as my eyes widen with shock.

I look at Yeon as the omega sighs.

"Ah...Hwang Jaehyun that rascal" he says tiredly.
