Kyu-bok tilted his head to the side, baring his neck for Dong-ho to continue nuzzling into, more of his sweet pheromones permeating in the air between them. He liked the way it felt, those soft lips trailing across the heated skin of his throat, leaving tingling sensations in their wake as they made their way up to his lips. Kyu-bok didn't even need to think - the moment Dong-ho's lips made contact with his own, he let the man kiss him til he was breathless. Kyu-bok's mouth parted, his tiny noises and pants swallowed by the connection, with Dong-ho's tongue licking every part of him on the inside. The man's fingers continued to tease Kyu-bok down below, sticky slick dribbling from his hole.

"Do you want me to stop? If you want me to stop, just - tell me. And I will…"

Kyu-bok glanced up at Dong-ho, his eyes wide and watery, the idea of stopping now - when he felt so damn good - inconceivable. It didn't matter that he was still a little drunk, he knew what his body wanted. Dong-ho should know it too, especially since he was encouraging it - Kyu-bok was grinding up against his thigh even harder now because of it, only getting more and more hot and pleasured by the second.

"Hyung," Kyu-bok whined. "W-why would you say that?" He asked, his bottom lip quivering as he pouted. "Don't you want to do this with me? D-doesn't it feel nice?" Kyu-bok rolled his hips to emphasise that last word, rubbing his front up against Dong-ho's thigh. His underwear was getting soaked from the back and the front now, wet in his pants, from his slick and his erection. "Are you going to leave me like this hyung?" Kyu-bok whined again, knowing full well he was being unfair even in his drunken state.

Kyu-bok let out a low whine of pleasure when he felt Dong-ho's hand sneak into his pants, wrapping his fingers around his hard cock and squeezing the length tightly. It encouraged Kyu-bok to keep rocking into that hold, his backside wet and leaking with slick, dampening his pants and soaking his underwear. The sweetness in the air was palpable, thick and heavy with the arousal that Kyu-bok was feeling, and he was hoping that Dong-ho felt the same way. He was so fucking glad the security hadn't left him. He could have, at any time. His job would be at risk if he was caught. But he stayed, and Kyu-bok figured that that was a good enough reason for them to continue with what they were doing.

And Dong-ho seemed like he knew exactly where his hands wanted to end up.

The man's fingers trailed to the back of Kyu-bok's body, swiping between his crack where the wetness was leaking out of him.

"I want to feel your inside."

Kyu-bok gasped, squeezing Dong-ho's shoulders when he felt the first finger wriggle inside of him. It breached his hole, his pucker clamping down what Dong-ho had inserted. It was awfully teasing, but Kyu-bok liked it. And not just the sensation - the whole situation. Having another person touch him when he was not to be touched in this way unless he was mated... it was dangerous. It was thrilling. It felt like the best kind of defiance, and Kyu-bok hoped Dong-ho would give him more.

"Kyu-bok-ah, are you alright?"

Kyu-bok tilted his head to the side, allowing Dong-ho space to nuzzle his throat, pushing his body down into the finger inside of him. He moaned, as quietly as he could, rocking up into the man's thigh again and repeating the action, trying to chase those wonderful sensations that were being lit in his body.

"F-Feels nice hyung," Was Kyu-bok's response. "I-I like it. No-one's ever... I've never had this done to me before-" Kyu-bok swallowed, his face flush red after admitting this piece of information. He didn't want to tell Dong-ho it was because his parents were making him wait until mating. Kyu-bok knew they wanted to marry him off as "pure" as possible, even though he totally disagreed with that definition. But his parents were adamant, nobody was to spend a night in Kyu-bok's room, especially since his heats were so irregular and he could fall pregnant during that period. Security guards wouldn't ever let anyone he met go home with him, and he wasn't allowed to spend the night anywhere other than his home - with the exception for Angel's, since they could trust the Shin family. So this was his first time having another person - an Alpha - give him this kind of satisfaction...

So this was his first time having another person - an Alpha - give him this kind of satisfaction...

Kyu-bok's moans were swallowed when Dong-ho kissed him, the Alpha seeming to devour him whole, all while he rubbed up against that firm body to alleviate the pressure on his hard dick. The security continued to fight with himself, having said they shouldn't be doing this despite being the one to lift Kyu-bok into the wall, and the Omega hoped he would continue to follow his instincts rather than snap back into the rules. Being touched by him wasn't the same as when he had been touched by the man at the club - he hadn't wanted that touch. But Kyu-bok wanted this from Dong-ho.

“Kyu-bok-ah.”

"H-hyung," Kyu-bok moaned, humping into Dong-ho's firm thigh. He felt so warm down there, so pleasant, his saccharine scent filling the air more strongly now.

Dong-ho's hands were all over him, on his ass, squeezing and groping, one eventually making its way up his shirt and the other sliding down between his cheeks. Kyu-bok's ass clenched when Dong-ho's fingers tweaked at his nipples, thumbs brushing over the hard nubs. He felt a small warmth in his backside - the tiniest dripping of slick, seeping out of his hole and between his crack. Not a lot, since Kyu-bok's body didn't seem to be able to produce with deep stimulation, but enough to coat Dong-ho's fingers in a thin, shiny sheen. Kyu-bok fisted his hands in Dong-ho's dark hair, using the grip to deepen the already intense kiss, tangling his tongue with the alpha's and moaning from the pleasure.

“I - I need to stop…”

"Nooo..." Kyu-bok whined, holding onto Dong-ho more tightly, as if physically trying to keep him in place so that he couldn't leave even if he tried. He knew he'd be too weak if Dong-ho actually used his strength to push him away, but he didn't want the man to stop, to leave just yet. Why not just continue? Nobody knew what they were doing in this room. Angel wouldn't be visiting in the middle of the night to cuddle since they had been separated, and since Dong-ho was a trusted security guard nobody suspected he was doing anything other than checking on his ward. Surely, he could stay.

A beat of silence and then...

“I can’t stop.”

Kyu-bok gasped when the man guided him to rock him forward against his thigh again, his neck and throat tickled from the way Dong-ho nuzzled into him. Kyu-bok humped him more energetically now, one hand snaking down to palm the front of Dong-ho's pants.

"Good," the Omega breathed. Kyu-bok told him, squeezing the man's crotch, copping a feel of the length within. It felt big. Felt like it would split Kyu-bok open. "Because I don't want you to leave me hyung."

Timeline: 2025 March 18th, Wednesday, late afternoon. Location: Shin's estate in Kamala, Kathu District, Phuket, a little over an hour flight from Bangkok. Mood: Quiet. A bit tired. He also has a headache... Attire: See above. With: Kyu-bok, Nasir, Angel, Vee, and friends.

It's been a couple of hours since the Shin/Choi/Thorne party arrived in one of the lavish properties owned by the Shin family. The house is situated by the ocean and very close to a lot of restaurants, clubs, and shopping areas.

With other securities watching over Kyu-bok, Angel, and Nasir, Dong-ho took some time to relieve the headache he'd developed since they aboard the Shin's private plane. He showered and changed in a comfortable attire. He needs to take a breather before he changes back to his usual clothing o fulfill his duty as head of security for today's party...

Earlier today when things were decided that Kyu-bok and his guest, Nasir will be going to Phuket, Dong-ho was given the details. Who would be joining the pair - Kyu-bok was not allowed to travel on his own and so Dong-ho is joining him so as Angel. Angel of course brought his own body-guard. On top of that, Dong-ho picked an addtional five more to keep security tight. Angel invited a few of their friends to join them to Phuket as well. The party will be staying for a week. Or so. Depending on everyone's mood, although Dong-ho was sure Nasir won't last that long. The man's a workaholic... But then again, people change...

He just hopes that tonight, when everyone's in the partying mood, things would go smoothly.

One of his men just contacted him, informing him that most of the guests are napping. Must be tired from the flight....

[not-so-special-k]

Timeline: 2025 March 18th, Wednesday, late afternoon. Location: Shin's estate in Kamala, Kathu District, Phuket, a little over an hour flight from Bangkok. Mood: Wired. Excited? Thrilled. Most definitely. Attire: See above. With: Kyu-bok, Dong-ho, Angel, Vee, and friends.

Nasir didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Maybe he thought he would've discussed more about it with Kyu-bok, about going to Phuket. But apparently, the Shin estate has eyes and ears everywhere and their little discussion about going to the southern part of the country reached the elders and they decided to make it happen for the possible couple.

The trip was put in motion very early in the morning. Some close friends visiting from South Korea was invited to the party and by late afternoon, they were flying over to Phuket. They arrived at a very luxurious property by the beach.

Nasir's not new to luxury but seeing the wide ocean right in front of his eyes as he stood inside the beach house just made him realize how very few people have way too much richest in their hands...

He set those thoughts aside and decided to enjoy the trip. At some point he would have to talk to Kyu-bok about the supposed plan to stay for a week or so. He has work and might not be able to stay for that long.

Although, the trip did wake up something in him. He has all the time in the world to get to know Kyu-bok a lot more in this place.

And then there's Dong-ho.

The stern bodyguard who accompanied them to Phuket.

Is the universe telling him something?

[not-so-special-k]

Timeline: 2025 March 18th, Wednesday, late afternoon. Location: Shin's estate in Kamala, Kathu District, Phuket, a little over an hour flight from Bangkok. Mood: A bit tired but mostly excited Attire: See above. With: Dong-ho, Nasir, Angel, Vee, and friends.

Kyu-bok could hardly believe that his parents had given him permission to go on this trip. Sure, it was on the condition that he go with his potential mate Nasir and with extra security, but at least he wasn't under house arrest anymore. Plus, his best friend Angel was with him, and their friends, and that very handsome bodyguard that had saved them at the club last week.

They had packed and left early, arriving at the Shin's beach estate in Phuket. Kyu-bok unbelievably excited almost bouncing off the walls in the plane. He didn't have specific plans on where to go or what to do, but he was going to take full advantage of the area, and leave no stone unturned.

Most of their party was napping right now, or at least resting from the flight. Angel was in his own room with his security, and Kyu-bok was alone, unpacking. He wouldn't wait for the others to wake up so they could get started on having fun.

[not-so-special-k]

Kyu-bok's moans were swallowed when Dong-ho kissed him, the Alpha seeming to devour him whole, all while he rubbed up against that firm body to alleviate the pressure on his hard dick. The security continued to fight with himself, having said they shouldn't be doing this despite being the one to lift Kyu-bok into the wall, and the Omega hoped he would continue to follow his instincts rather than snap back into the rules. Being touched by him wasn't the same as when he had been touched by the man at the club - he hadn't wanted that touch. But Kyu-bok wanted this from Dong-ho.

“Kyu-bok-ah.”

"H-hyung," Kyu-bok moaned, humping into Dong-ho's firm thigh. He felt so warm down there, so pleasant, his saccharine scent filling the air more strongly now.

Dong-ho's hands were all over him, on his ass, squeezing and groping, one eventually making its way up his shirt and the other sliding down between his cheeks. Kyu-bok's ass clenched when Dong-ho's fingers tweaked at his nipples, thumbs brushing over the hard nubs. He felt a small warmth in his backside - the tiniest dripping of slick, seeping out of his hole and between his crack. Not a lot, since Kyu-bok's body didn't seem to be able to produce with deep stimulation, but enough to coat Dong-ho's fingers in a thin, shiny sheen. Kyu-bok fisted his hands in Dong-ho's dark hair, using the grip to deepen the already intense kiss, tangling his tongue with the alpha's and moaning from the pleasure.

“I - I need to stop…”

"Nooo..." Kyu-bok whined, holding onto Dong-ho more tightly, as if physically trying to keep him in place so that he couldn't leave even if he tried. He knew he'd be too weak if Dong-ho actually used his strength to push him away, but he didn't want the man to stop, to leave just yet. Why not just continue? Nobody knew what they were doing in this room. Angel wouldn't be visiting in the middle of the night to cuddle since they had been separated, and since Dong-ho was a trusted security guard nobody suspected he was doing anything other than checking on his ward. Surely, he could stay.

A beat of silence and then...

“I can’t stop.”

Kyu-bok gasped when the man guided him to rock him forward against his thigh again, his neck and throat tickled from the way Dong-ho nuzzled into him. Kyu-bok humped him more energetically now, one hand snaking down to palm the front of Dong-ho's pants.

"Good," the Omega breathed. Kyu-bok told him, squeezing the man's crotch, copping a feel of the length within. It felt big. Felt like it would split Kyu-bok open. "Because I don't want you to leave me hyung."

The warmth of Dong-ho's hands on his backside almost made Kyu-bok moan. The head of security still wore a stern expression on his face, and had the same stoic look that reminded Kyu-bok that his hyung was still on the job, but his actions were in total contrast of how the man was supposed to be acting. Kyu-bok wasn't helping, rubbing his crotch on the thick thigh in front of him by rolling his hips forward, stirring pleasant feelings of arousal within him and whining to Dong-ho that it felt good, wanting to do even more than that...

Though, even in his drunken state, Kyu-bok knew that they shouldn't. It wasn't like Dong-ho was his family's security - he was Angel's - but if anyone caught them entangled like this it might risk the Alpha's job. Dong-ho was respected, incredibly adept at what he did, and deserved to maintain the carefully crafted reputation he had developed over the years, and Kyu-bok would hate himself if he were the reason his hyung lost it all.

But still, still, the Omega did not pull away, too lost in Dong-ho's embrace to even think about doing such a thing. He even tried to convince Dong-ho to stay with him, his natural charm and alluring nature coming through, usually enough to have Kyu-bok get his way.

“No. I can’t be doing this with you, Kyu-bok-ah…”

Kyu-bok whined in disappointment, but he didn't miss how Dong-ho's palms only grew bolder, squeezing his ass through his clothes. The man was saying no, outright rejecting Kyu-bok's pleads, but his body was not - evident in the way Dong-ho leaned in to inhale the Omega's sweet scent before lifting him up off of the floor. Kyu-bok scrambled to hold onto the Alpha's shoulders as he hiked his legs up and around Dong-ho's middle, crossing them at the ankle behind his back while the man guided him to the wall.

“Kyu-bok-ah. I’m so sorry.”

The Omega's heart was pounding. He could feel it in his chest, crawling up in his throat, banging against his eardrums, loud and hard to ignore. This is what he wanted, right? What he had asked Dong-ho for? To stay with him, to keep going - so why was Kyu-bok now feeling more nervous? He thought maybe Dong-ho didn't really want to do this, but if that was the case the man would have left ages ago, especially since he had been rejecting the Omege's advances. Or perhaps it was excitement now that Kyu-bok was getting his way, or even a mixture of both emotions. Kyu-bok wasn't sure, and in his drunken state wasn't able to truly decipher his feelings - but when Dong-ho pressed him securely against the wall, Kyu-bok decided to lean into the ones that his instincts were telling him to follow.

"Don't apologise hyung," Kyu-bok said in a shaky tone, squeezing his arms around Dong-ho's neck, not wanting the other to release him. "You're taking care of me." The Omega tried to convince him, wanting to frame what they were doing as okay instead of the dangerous rendezvous it actually was.

“I’m so sorry.”

"Hyung-"

Kyu-bok was about to tell Dong-ho not to apologise again, but to his surprise the Alpha's mouth was on his. The Omega's eyes widened before his body seemed to melt, instantly responding to the kiss that was being given to him. Kyu-bok let out a moan through his throat, the noise muffled from Dong-ho's mouth, and he kissed him back, arching his back against the wall to press his body into the man's. He could feel his cock hard, erection no doubt poking against Dong-ho, and he rubbed his body up and down to stimulate himself further. His saccharine Omega scent grew stronger, almost like grains of granulated sugar could be tasted on the tongue, while he opened his mouth to try and deepen what Dong-ho had started.

[not-so-special-k]

Kyu-bok excitement was palpable, some of his sweet scent intensifying at the prospect of getting out of this place. It didn't matter where he went at this point - the house arrest was killing him slowly, Bangkok being a treasure trove of places to go to and him forcing to be stuck in the Shin mansion because of something that had been out of his control. Kyu-bok didn't even mind that he'd be going out with Nasir, because at least the alpha seemed nice and interested and not trying to force him into anything.

“Okay? Awesome.”

Nasir leaned in closer after Kyu-bok had agreed to his suggestion, making the omega flush slightly from the proximity. He was a very handsome alpha, with beautiful features and deeply brown eyes that seemed so soft and kind - it was hard not to feel a little shy, especially when he smiled. Nasir seemed to have an idea brewing after Kyu-bok told him about what he'd seen and where they might be able to go.

“I’d love to see everything. We can go to famous places and then we can go dancing at night… Phuket.”

Kyu-bok perked up, setting his cocktail down and resting his hands on the table, leaning forward and gazing up at Nasir with sparkling eyes. "Dancing? In Phuket?" He asked.

“I heard they have wonderful beaches down there. If we can arrange to go, spend some time down there, would you go?”

"Yes," Kyu-bok blurted out, nodding excitedly. "I'd love to go to Phuket! I've seen pictures of the beaches, I know they have outdoor clubs and bars too, it would be so much fun!"

“I’m sure one of these security men would accompany us to our trip. Keep us out of trouble?”

Kyu-bok's eyes shifted to Dong-ho. The security was still close by, not invading on their space but very clearly making his presence known. The omega felt his heart constrict at the sight of him. A few days ago, Dong-ho had him pressed against a wall, his thigh between the omega's legs, whispering about how they shouldn't be entangled like this but not doing a thing to stop himself. Even though Nasir was nice... Dong-ho was the kind of man Kyu-bok would really be wanting to go on a trip with.

"Dong-ho hyung can come with us," Kyu-bok said, turning back to Nasir. "He works for my Angel's family, but he's been taking care of me while I've been in Thailand. Plus... I think my best friend might have a new security guard." Kyu-bok thought about the alpha from the club, the one who had rescued him and Angel before hyung arrived, beating up the son's owner even though it cost him his job. He had been sent to his room, but knew that Dong-ho wouldn't just invite a stranger to the estate for no reason - that Alpha, Vee, would definitely have been offered something. A job, maybe. If that was the case, it would free up Dong-ho a little.

“If we don’t get in any sorts of trouble while we are young, then how do we get to enjoy our youth?’

Kyu-bok giggled, a bit surprised that someone so well put together like Nasir seemed to be on the same page as him. Kyu-bok had heard the lecture many times from his parents about not getting himself into trouble, but it really did seem to find him. He understood why - he was an Omega who smelled nice, and that tended to attract all kinds of attention. Not only that, but Kyu-bok had a very carefree attitude - if he went out dancing, he would dance, and that often caused people to look at him too. It wasn't fair that it was on Kyu-bok to be mindful of these sorts of things, and obviously his parents didn't understand his perspective.

But it looked like Nasir did, which made him feel a bit more comfortable with him. He'd hate if he ended up matched with an Alpha who wouldn't let him leave the house or who would constantly be on his case about how he lived his life. Not like he and Nasir were set as a couple in stone - but thankfully, Kyu-bok's parents at least seemed to have picked someone nice for him to start talking to. Kyu-bok didn't agree with his parents' opinion of getting him married off, but he knew that it came from a place of love. Of course they wouldn't match him with someone he hated.

When Nasir asked him about Bangkok, Kyu-bok answered honestly. He was hoping to go and explore more of it with Angel, but had been very bluntly told that that wouldn't be happening after what happened at IGNITE - at least, not yet, when the event was still fresh in everyone's minds.

“Is that so? I’ve been - when I was very little. My parents ah, traveled a lot… So my sister and I, we got to visit a lot of places but I don’t remember anything about our trip here, if I’m being honest. We can go sight-see together, if that’s okay with you. I do have a business meeting in the following days but for the most part, I’m free. I mean, if you don’t mind my company, that is.”

Kyu-bok lightly chewed on his bottom lip, glancing up at Nasir with his big brown eyes as he contemplated that offer. Going out on the town with an almost stranger... Kyu-bok had done it before, but not with someone like this - someone he had to impress, someone he had to act a certain way around and keep up an image for. Nasir did seem interested in spending more time with him. Part of Kyu-bok liked that - he was such a handsome Alpha, one any Omega would be proud to be seen out with. And he was nice so far. They would have security too, so they'd be safe. And of course, it would allow for Kyu-bok to actually be allowed to leave the house, since he was still under house arrest at this time. Hmm...

"Okay," Kyu-bok said, his smile returning. "That sounds really nice. We can go sight-seeing together." Saying it aloud settled Kyu-bok - he knew it was the right decision to have made. "Do you have any place you want to see? I haven't been out to the famous places, just some cafes and clubs." Kyu-bok's eyes shined a little. "Actually, I really like to go out dancing. I mean, it's where I usually get in trouble but it's super fun. Do you go clubbing Nasir?"

old flame

Timeline: 2025 March 17th, Monday, 11:11 P.M. Location: Shin's estate, outside Bangkok, Thailand. Mood: Conflicted. Curious... Attire: Nasir is wearing something semi-formal to dinner arranged by the Shin family. With: @seuua

Nasir was certain what he wanted - needed to do the moment he laid eyes on Dong-ho, the man he had a very heated and passionate relationship with during his younger years. Meeting the man again unexpectedly sparked the past, the man’s stern face ignited memories he didn’t realize he held onto for so long. He only kept them to the side, hidden behind achievements and other life happenings. It only needed to be triggered by the man’s sight and Nasir was back during his early 20’s when he was about to start a new chapter of his life. He realized he never talked to Dong-ho properly. Never gave their relationship an ending or a closure. Did he promise he’d be back? He didn’t say it out loud but it was planted in his head that he would be back for the man who confessed his love for him in the backseat of a private car while they went at it for the first time… He remembered responding with the same fervor and that moment marked him. He was sure then that Dong-ho was for him and he was for Dong-ho. But what happened? Was he too young to nurture such a relationship? Was he not truly invested? Watching the man with a firm expression on his face brought him back feelings that cultivated emotions of guilt, making him think about the what ifs… Alone… They were alone for a moment; the Shin and the Choi families had gone to their quarters and only a few staff and security members roam roam the property, including Dong-ho who stayed behind as he remained seated in the backyard, by the pool, contemplating on his meeting with Kyu-bok and now watching the well-known profile of the bodyguard…

To Nasir’s surprise, Dong-ho left his post and started approaching him. His heart pounded in his chest, making him feel like he was that young university student again. Dong-ho’s fierce eyes stared at him and as always, he couldn’t read the man’s face. What was Dong-ho thinking?

“Good evening, Sir. If you’re ready to retire to your room, I will accompany you.”

Nasir looked up with curious eyes at the head of the Shin security, attempting to read the man’s thoughts. “What if I’m not tired yet?”

“You can stay out here for as long as you want, Sir. I’ll be right over where -”

“I changed my mind…” Nasir then said, standing from his seat and clasping his hands behind his back. “Take me to my room.” 

Dong-ho nodded and led the way. For the first few seconds, Nasir walked behind the tall man - He drank in the familiar form, broad back, trimmed waist, strong thighs, and long legs… Still the same fit body he knew back then… Before any other thoughts began seeping in his brain, he took a few longer steps to catch up to the bodyguard. 

“You still walk really fast.”

“Can’t help it.”

Nasir secretly smiled. The simple reply confirmed he wasn’t forgotten. There was familiarity to the tone. The small back and forth was a nod to their connection in the past. But it didn’t guarantee that there were no hard feelings. Dong-ho was professional and even if he stomped on Nasir, the man would remain strict, following his job.

“I have long legs but you know I walk slow -”

“One would think that with your busy life, your feet would learn to adapt.” Dong-ho gave him a small glance, the man’s voice was neutral but, was that a hint of teasing?

He didn’t comment on it. He kept the smile on his face as well. A deep breath and then he spoke, “So, you’re still with the Shins…”

“It’s - more than a job at this point, you could say.”

“An investment.”

“Something of that sort.”

“But you also work for the Choi family.”

“The Shins and the Chois are inseparable.”

“They’ve been working together for a long time.”

“You did your homework.”

“I’d have to know what I’m getting myself into.”

There was silence; the strides continued.

“Kyu-bok -”

“Is a respectable young man… He’s kind. Smart…”

There was softness in the bodyguard’s tone, Nasir noted. And it tugged at his heart. “That - I learned first hand…”

“You look good together.”

“You would think so.” Dong-ho used to make the same comments when they were together. It confused him. Did Dong-ho want him to be with other people? Did the man think he wasn’t enough for Nasir? The bodyguard’s words now had the same effect on him and he didn’t understand why he didn’t like it. “He wants to go out. Clubbing.”

“I’m sure you’re well aware what happened the last time he did,” Dong-ho stopped in his tracks, the man eyeing him.

He stared back and saw concern written all over the other’s face. He read what he’d seen in the man’s eyes before, when the other used to look at him with the same expression. “You care about him.”

Dong-ho didn’t reply; the bodyguard continued on inside the vast house without responding at first and then the other spoke, “He’s an important part of my job. I’m tasked to keep him and you safe.”

“Me?”

The bodyguard abruptly stopped in front of a large door. “Your room, Sir,” Dong-ho said, even opening the door for him.

Nasir stood there, staring at Dong-ho for a moment, a lot of questions forming in his head but realizing this wasn’t the time to ask any of them. Perhaps once he was alone with the man again? He told himself as he spotted another security in similar attire walking down the hallway. He was briefed that the man approaching will be on duty for the rest of the evening.

“I will be back in the morning to accompany you and Kyu-bok-ssi to your next schedule,” Dong-ho informed him and then bid him good night.

Nasir watched his ex-boyfriend walk down the hallway before disappearing around the corner. The door behind him slowly closed then. The night was long and he didn’t sleep right away. He was plagued with various thoughts.

Of Kyu-bok. And Dong-ho.

[not-so-special-k]

“If we don’t get in any sorts of trouble while we are young, then how do we get to enjoy our youth?’

Kyu-bok giggled, a bit surprised that someone so well put together like Nasir seemed to be on the same page as him. Kyu-bok had heard the lecture many times from his parents about not getting himself into trouble, but it really did seem to find him. He understood why - he was an Omega who smelled nice, and that tended to attract all kinds of attention. Not only that, but Kyu-bok had a very carefree attitude - if he went out dancing, he would dance, and that often caused people to look at him too. It wasn't fair that it was on Kyu-bok to be mindful of these sorts of things, and obviously his parents didn't understand his perspective.

But it looked like Nasir did, which made him feel a bit more comfortable with him. He'd hate if he ended up matched with an Alpha who wouldn't let him leave the house or who would constantly be on his case about how he lived his life. Not like he and Nasir were set as a couple in stone - but thankfully, Kyu-bok's parents at least seemed to have picked someone nice for him to start talking to. Kyu-bok didn't agree with his parents' opinion of getting him married off, but he knew that it came from a place of love. Of course they wouldn't match him with someone he hated.

When Nasir asked him about Bangkok, Kyu-bok answered honestly. He was hoping to go and explore more of it with Angel, but had been very bluntly told that that wouldn't be happening after what happened at IGNITE - at least, not yet, when the event was still fresh in everyone's minds.

“Is that so? I’ve been - when I was very little. My parents ah, traveled a lot… So my sister and I, we got to visit a lot of places but I don’t remember anything about our trip here, if I’m being honest. We can go sight-see together, if that’s okay with you. I do have a business meeting in the following days but for the most part, I’m free. I mean, if you don’t mind my company, that is.”

Kyu-bok lightly chewed on his bottom lip, glancing up at Nasir with his big brown eyes as he contemplated that offer. Going out on the town with an almost stranger... Kyu-bok had done it before, but not with someone like this - someone he had to impress, someone he had to act a certain way around and keep up an image for. Nasir did seem interested in spending more time with him. Part of Kyu-bok liked that - he was such a handsome Alpha, one any Omega would be proud to be seen out with. And he was nice so far. They would have security too, so they'd be safe. And of course, it would allow for Kyu-bok to actually be allowed to leave the house, since he was still under house arrest at this time. Hmm...

"Okay," Kyu-bok said, his smile returning. "That sounds really nice. We can go sight-seeing together." Saying it aloud settled Kyu-bok - he knew it was the right decision to have made. "Do you have any place you want to see? I haven't been out to the famous places, just some cafes and clubs." Kyu-bok's eyes shined a little. "Actually, I really like to go out dancing. I mean, it's where I usually get in trouble but it's super fun. Do you go clubbing Nasir?"

Kyu-bok wasn't sure what to make of Nasir. The knowledge that the man was here as a possible marriage candidate honestly made the Omega want to run far away, reject him outright before even getting to know him. Maybe it was unfair of Kyu-bok to do that - but it didn't set well in his stomach, that his parents were arranging these kinds of thing in the first place. He had suspected for months that that's where his life was headed, but now that it was in the flesh and staring right at him Kyu-bok felt totally and completely unprepared.

At least Nasir seemed nice. He wasn't pushing or prying like some of the other Alpha diplomats that Kyu-bok had met through his family's work, inquiring about whether he was on the market or not. He hadn't been then, but he was now. After what happened at IGNITE, it felt like his parents were even more adamant that he settle down...

"Are you sure?"

Kyu-bok insisted that he was alright when the Alpha asked, but his nervousness must've shown either through his voice, body language, or scent.

“You - don’t have to pretend with me. I know what kind of situation we have and I understand it. I promise, I won’t force you into something you don’t want. I’m only here to meet you… Nothing more, nothing less…”

Kyu-bok stared at the Alpha, trying to gauge whether or not the other was really as genuine as his words were implying. He had been thinking only of himself up until this point; his arrangement, his marriage. It had escaped him that Nasir might be in the same boat as he was. Perhaps he too was following the orders of his parents, to find an Omega to mate with, continue their family's legacy and bloodline, just as much of a victim of circumstance as Kyu-bok was.

Kyu-bok ended up smiling, this time a genuine one, not the forced manufactured illusion he put on when they had been eating dinner with the Shin family to keep up appearances of politeness. When the other asked for how he'd like to be called, Kyu-bok answered, thinking this might be a nice way to dissolve some of the awkward first-meeting tension they both must be feeling.

“K? Cute. I like it. It’s easy and simple to remember. Who could forget that?”

Kyu-bok giggled, offering the other a coy shrug in response. Nasir would not have been the first person to call him cute, but it didn't seem like he had the intentions that other Alphas had when they did - which was good, because after being nearly assaulted the other day he wasn't exactly looking forward to another's hands on him.

Unless those hands belonged to Dong-ho...

Kyu-bok accepted the drink that Nasir handed to him, trying not to dwell on that thought about Dong-Ho. He and guard... what they did in his room the other night, Kyu-bok lifted into his arms and pressed against the wall while their lips entangled in a hot kiss... Dong-ho saying they shouldn't but doing it anyway...

The Omega let out a breath, trying to settle his nerves. He forced himself not to look at Dong-ho, instead focussing on Nasir.

“Kyu-bok… Is also a very nice name. I think I will call you by your given name, if that’s okay? And you can call me Nasir. Everybody does. Only my mother would call me by my full name if I’m in trouble. Just.. Don’t ask how often.”

Well, that was something Kyu-bok could relate to. He let out a light laugh, mirroring the Alpha's actions by taking a sip of his cocktail before responding. "That's fine with me. Whatever you're comfortable with." Kyu-bok told Nasir. "And don't worry... trouble seems to follow me around too. It might as well be my middle name." The Omega said, a little sigh on his lips. He didn't know how or why he always seemed to find himself in a predicament, like some kind of old film damsel constantly in distress, but it did always seem to find him.

“Are you enjoying your stay here in Bangkok? The weather is humid but I like it. How about you?”

"I've not seen much of it, but I like it so far," Kyu-bok admitted. He didn't exactly what to tell Nasir that he had been on house arrest these past couple of days, but he hadn't had a change to explore much else since his arrival. "Have you been here before? This is my first time. I'd like to sight-see, but don't know where to start."

[not-so-special-k]

The warmth of Dong-ho's hands on his backside almost made Kyu-bok moan. The head of security still wore a stern expression on his face, and had the same stoic look that reminded Kyu-bok that his hyung was still on the job, but his actions were in total contrast of how the man was supposed to be acting. Kyu-bok wasn't helping, rubbing his crotch on the thick thigh in front of him by rolling his hips forward, stirring pleasant feelings of arousal within him and whining to Dong-ho that it felt good, wanting to do even more than that...

Though, even in his drunken state, Kyu-bok knew that they shouldn't. It wasn't like Dong-ho was his family's security - he was Angel's - but if anyone caught them entangled like this it might risk the Alpha's job. Dong-ho was respected, incredibly adept at what he did, and deserved to maintain the carefully crafted reputation he had developed over the years, and Kyu-bok would hate himself if he were the reason his hyung lost it all.

But still, still, the Omega did not pull away, too lost in Dong-ho's embrace to even think about doing such a thing. He even tried to convince Dong-ho to stay with him, his natural charm and alluring nature coming through, usually enough to have Kyu-bok get his way.

“No. I can’t be doing this with you, Kyu-bok-ah…”

Kyu-bok whined in disappointment, but he didn't miss how Dong-ho's palms only grew bolder, squeezing his ass through his clothes. The man was saying no, outright rejecting Kyu-bok's pleads, but his body was not - evident in the way Dong-ho leaned in to inhale the Omega's sweet scent before lifting him up off of the floor. Kyu-bok scrambled to hold onto the Alpha's shoulders as he hiked his legs up and around Dong-ho's middle, crossing them at the ankle behind his back while the man guided him to the wall.

“Kyu-bok-ah. I’m so sorry.”

The Omega's heart was pounding. He could feel it in his chest, crawling up in his throat, banging against his eardrums, loud and hard to ignore. This is what he wanted, right? What he had asked Dong-ho for? To stay with him, to keep going - so why was Kyu-bok now feeling more nervous? He thought maybe Dong-ho didn't really want to do this, but if that was the case the man would have left ages ago, especially since he had been rejecting the Omege's advances. Or perhaps it was excitement now that Kyu-bok was getting his way, or even a mixture of both emotions. Kyu-bok wasn't sure, and in his drunken state wasn't able to truly decipher his feelings - but when Dong-ho pressed him securely against the wall, Kyu-bok decided to lean into the ones that his instincts were telling him to follow.

"Don't apologise hyung," Kyu-bok said in a shaky tone, squeezing his arms around Dong-ho's neck, not wanting the other to release him. "You're taking care of me." The Omega tried to convince him, wanting to frame what they were doing as okay instead of the dangerous rendezvous it actually was.

“I’m so sorry.”

"Hyung-"

Kyu-bok was about to tell Dong-ho not to apologise again, but to his surprise the Alpha's mouth was on his. The Omega's eyes widened before his body seemed to melt, instantly responding to the kiss that was being given to him. Kyu-bok let out a moan through his throat, the noise muffled from Dong-ho's mouth, and he kissed him back, arching his back against the wall to press his body into the man's. He could feel his cock hard, erection no doubt poking against Dong-ho, and he rubbed his body up and down to stimulate himself further. His saccharine Omega scent grew stronger, almost like grains of granulated sugar could be tasted on the tongue, while he opened his mouth to try and deepen what Dong-ho had started.

Kyu-bok wasn't sure if this was real or if it was all a dream. He could sense the change in the air between him and Dong-ho, punish being the trigger word to do so. Kyu-bok was drunk, but somehow that word had burrowed its way into his brain, reaching a part of it that had him feeling hotter than ever at the possibilities of what exactly that could mean. He pressed himself into Dong-ho's hold, staring up at him with wide and curious eyes, wondering just how far the other would go to indulge him. Dong-ho hadn't pushed him away, yet - just continued to hold him close.

“You’re drunk. Kyubok-ah.”

Kyu-bok knew this, but it didn't stop him from asking the question that was burning inside him now. About what Dong-ho would do to him, if he broke those carefully crafted rules his parents had set in place? About how exactly he would go about punishing him, and whether Kyu-bok would really see it as one in the first place...

The Omega thought that perhaps he had pushed too far. Dong-ho wasn't reacting, wasn't moving, and Kyu-bok was expecting to be gently pushed away. Instead, one of his hyung's hands reached up to softly brush the side of his face, his thumb fully swiping Kyu-bok's parted lips. The curiosity in Kyu-bok's eyes shifted into interest, and he stared up at Dong-ho in wonder trying to gauge what the Alpha was thinking right now. He barely breathed, until Dong-ho's other hand settled on his ass and squeezed it tight, causing Kyu-bok to arch up into the man's body.

A conflicted frown crossed Dong-ho's face, but the man didn't let him go. Instead, he pulled Kyu-bok forward, letting the other melt into him. Dong-ho's thigh was in-between the Omega's legs, and Kyu-bok let out a whimper when he felt it press and rub into his crotch.

“I - I think you should go to bed. If I stayed here any longer, I - don’t know what I would do.”

"B-but Hyung, it feels good," Kyu-bok whined, tilting his hips into that thick thigh to put more pressure on his cock. His headache from earlier was persisting, but he tried to ignore it in favour of luring Dong-ho to stay with him in the room, because he wanted to understand what exactly was going on between them - even though he was still terribly hungover... "Won't you stay with me? I won't tell... you can just say you're watching over me..."

[not-so-special-k]

Kyu-bok wasn't sure what to make of Nasir. The knowledge that the man was here as a possible marriage candidate honestly made the Omega want to run far away, reject him outright before even getting to know him.

Two days.

It had taken only two days after the IGNITE incident for Kyu-bok's parents to have him meeting a potential suitor.

When the young Omega received word from his parents - still in Seoul - that he would have to play host to a visiting Alpha, he had almost dropped the phone from his hand. Kyu-bok tried to argue against this but his parents would listen to none of it. Hearing about how close Kyu-bok had gotten to being taken advantage of by an Alpha at the club not only had him berated by his parents for his destructive behaviour, but fast-tracked their decision to get him married off. For his safety, they told him, but Kyu-bok saw it as another form of control.

Kyu-bok wasn't allowed to leave the Shin estate for those couple of days, put under house arrest. Even though he wasn't in charge of the property, his parents had made it very clear he was to act as the perfect host for the Alpha, and that they would hear about it if he did anything that might ruin their family's prestigious reputation. Even Angel couldn't do anything about it - Kyu-bok's increased security had him unable to breathe without anyone knowing about it. He felt stuck, stifled, trapped - and it all came to a head when the night came that he met the man his parents had been talking to him about.

Nasir was nice, Kyu-bok would give him that. He had been the stranger that Kyu-bok had seen when he had been sitting alone in the garden that morning, thinking perhaps this was a friend of Angel's. He hadn't put two and two together that this was the suitor, since he was still so upset about being in this situation in the first place.

Dinner was quiet, on Kyu-bok's part. The Shin family was in attendance, so the Omega felt like he couldn't say much, but he did respond to Nasir's occasional questions - Yes, the weather was fine; No, I haven't see much of the country; I arrived here this week, it's my first time; My family might be coming to visit too, but I don't know when...

Kyu-bok didn't really have an appetite, nibbling on pieces of food here and there but ultimately opting out of eating. He thought it would be over after dinner, but then Nasir invited him outside, and Kyu-bok had to oblige. At least this way, if they talked, the Shin family wouldn't be watching over him and reporting back whatever he said to his own parents in Seoul. Dong-ho was hanging around though, so he couldn't be too open about his feelings on marriage to Nasir. Plus, even though Kyu-bok was always happy to see his hyung, he was still very confused about what happened between them the other night. Kyu-bok had been drunk, so maybe he had been reading everything wrong, but he couldn't forget how Dong-ho had made him feel so warm down there, intentionally rubbing his crotch with his thick thigh. They hadn't spoken about it, and Dong-ho had been suspiciously distant, mostly just doing his job as security since that night.

Nasir's stare seemed to linger on Dong-ho too, and Kyu-bok didn't blame him for that. Hyung was very attractive, especially when he was holding himself back...

"Are you alright? If you're uncomfortable, we can go back inside. I just thought we could talk a lot better out here."

Nasir spoke, drawing Kyu-bok out of his thoughts. The pair now had drinks in hand, and other than Dong-ho hovering a few feet away from them, they were relatively alone.

"Oh, I'm alright," Kyu-bok assured the Alpha, swallowing a bit thickly. Maybe it would be better to get to know him away from the rest of the Shin family - though every part of Kyu-bok's being wanted to reject the other out of pure defiance.

"I also wanted to ask you something..."

Kyu-bok cocked his head to the side, staring up at the good looking man with curious eyes. He nodded to encourage Nasir to continue speaking.

"Is there anything in particular you want me to call you? A nickname maybe?"

Kyu-bok was aware of different cultural customs when it came to addressing others since his parents both dealt with foreigners for work, but that was a good question. Nasir seemed respectful - unlike a few other people who Kyu-bok had met in the past few months, who he expected his parents to set him up with.

"You can call me Kyu-bok," The Omega told him. "Or K, if you prefer. Most people call me K. What about you, Nasir-nim? Do you have a preference?"

not a date

Timeline: 2025 March 17th, Monday, 7:00 P.M. Location: Shin's estate, outside Bangkok, Thailand. Mood: Quiet. Distracted. Conflicted. Curious... Attire: Nasir is wearing something semi-formal to dinner arranged by the Shin family. With: @not-so-special-k

It was an eventful evening starting with dinner with the Shin family and Choi Kyu-bok, a young man that was formally introduced to him by his hosts. The timid Omega his parents spoke highly of. They sat next to each other during dinner and barely spoke. He didn't push much but he managed a small talk.

"Are you enjoying Thailand's weather? How long have you been in the country?" And so on. He received short replies but he didn't mind. This was the first time he was meeting the man. Not like he was going to marry the Omega the day after. His mother just wanted them to meet. To see if there could be something there.

"The Shin and the Choi are good families to be on your side," his father simply said and he knew what was packed within that one comment. He'd have to try. He'd have to at least see if there was a connection. His parents would never force him into doing something he didn't want. But he needed to show effort, show that he's part of the family and supports it.

He had some time off and besides, he was also in the country for work. Historical artifacts. That was his speciality. Particularly haunted and possessed ones. The vampire clan, Arikun, one of the oldest families in this part of the world had plenty of them. They allowed him to investigate a few pieces and he couldn't wait to get his hands on them. Literally.

After dinner, he invited the young Choi for a drink by the pool. That was when the night a little more interesting. On the way to the pool in the back of the mansion, he spotted a familiar stern face. Was that -

No. It can't be. His eyes followed the figure in crisped tailored black suit. The man stood a few feet away from him and the young Omega.

Drinks were then and he turned to the man, "Are you alright?" He asked, catching the other's eyes. "If you're uncomfortable, we can go back inside. I just thought we could talk a lot better out here. I also wanted to ask you something..." He paused, fixing his gaze on the Omega's face, reading the expression written on it. The younger man was pretty. Almost too pretty. Too good to look at but he found himself staring. "Is there anything in particular you want me to call you? A nickname maybe?"

[not-so-special-k]

Kyu-bok wasn't sure if this was real or if it was all a dream. He could sense the change in the air between him and Dong-ho, punish being the trigger word to do so. Kyu-bok was drunk, but somehow that word had burrowed its way into his brain, reaching a part of it that had him feeling hotter than ever at the possibilities of what exactly that could mean. He pressed himself into Dong-ho's hold, staring up at him with wide and curious eyes, wondering just how far the other would go to indulge him. Dong-ho hadn't pushed him away, yet - just continued to hold him close.

“You’re drunk. Kyubok-ah.”

Kyu-bok knew this, but it didn't stop him from asking the question that was burning inside him now. About what Dong-ho would do to him, if he broke those carefully crafted rules his parents had set in place? About how exactly he would go about punishing him, and whether Kyu-bok would really see it as one in the first place...

The Omega thought that perhaps he had pushed too far. Dong-ho wasn't reacting, wasn't moving, and Kyu-bok was expecting to be gently pushed away. Instead, one of his hyung's hands reached up to softly brush the side of his face, his thumb fully swiping Kyu-bok's parted lips. The curiosity in Kyu-bok's eyes shifted into interest, and he stared up at Dong-ho in wonder trying to gauge what the Alpha was thinking right now. He barely breathed, until Dong-ho's other hand settled on his ass and squeezed it tight, causing Kyu-bok to arch up into the man's body.

A conflicted frown crossed Dong-ho's face, but the man didn't let him go. Instead, he pulled Kyu-bok forward, letting the other melt into him. Dong-ho's thigh was in-between the Omega's legs, and Kyu-bok let out a whimper when he felt it press and rub into his crotch.

“I - I think you should go to bed. If I stayed here any longer, I - don’t know what I would do.”

"B-but Hyung, it feels good," Kyu-bok whined, tilting his hips into that thick thigh to put more pressure on his cock. His headache from earlier was persisting, but he tried to ignore it in favour of luring Dong-ho to stay with him in the room, because he wanted to understand what exactly was going on between them - even though he was still terribly hungover... "Won't you stay with me? I won't tell... you can just say you're watching over me..."

Dong-ho's chest felt like the safest place in the world right now to Kyu-bok. The Omega knew he wasn't in any immediate danger - that had been dealt with by the stranger from the club - Vee, he'd have to ask Angel about the mysterious Alpha he seemed to know - and Dong-ho, who had come into his room now to check on him. But it still felt nice that someone cared so much to do so, going out of their way to comfort and hold. Kyu-bok knew that a lot of it was Dong-ho's job - he was the head of security keeping a watchful and protective eye over his charges. Except technically, Kyu-bok wasn't his charge. Angel was. And Dong-ho didn't have to be here indulging the sniffling Omega. But he was, the gesture made Kyu-bok feel warm inside.

After revealing his fears of the future, Kyu-bok sagged a little in Dong-ho's hold. Those words, now free into the atmosphere, had been light a weight that the Omega had been harbouring for a while now. He was scared of what his parents were going to do. They never hit him, and Kyu-bok believed they did love him, but he knew they'd never compromise on the subject of his nuptials. Those Alphas he had been introduced to these last couple of months? It wasn't coincidental. Those officials, friends of his mother and father, whom he had to shake hands with before being introduced to their sons? It wasn't just for work. Kyu-bok's marriage had been brewing for a long time, and he feared that he had escalated its arrival after what happened tonight, despite the whole ordeal at the club not being his fault. The only thing Kyu-bok had been guilty of was drinking - but that wasn't a reason to get him married off. Just... the final straw, he supposed.

As if understanding his thoughts, Dong-ho's arms around him became stronger. A proper hug - that's what Kyu-bok needed, and it settled him more than he could have thought. And then when Dong-ho was teasing him, it had the Omega feeling a little lighter than before, bringing a smile to his tear-stained face. The effects of the alcohol were still clearly apparent - flushed cheeks and glassy eyes, as well as the fact that he was admitting more than he should to the head of security, specifically about sneaking out even if his parents were adamant about him staying in.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. D’you want me to lose my job?”

Kyu-bok giggled, resting his chin on Dong-ho's chest and looking up at the man, lightly shaking his head. "If you lose your job you can work for me instead!" He said, his eyes shining playfully. "Then we can sneak out together!" The Omega laughed, joking around, knowing such a thing could never happen. Dong-ho was excellent at his job, and Kyu-bok would actually feel incredibly guilty if the man lost it because of actions out of his control. Angel already gave the security guard a run for his money as it was.

Then, something shifted. Dong-ho had pulled back, but his fingers found their way to Kyu-bok's chin, lifting it up so that they could look into each other's eyes. The man - he was so handsome. A handsome Alpha. Kyu-bok usually hated having security around him, but he wouldn't complain if it was Dong-ho accompanying him wherever he went.

“If you sneak out without your parents knowing and you get in trouble again, I might have to really punish you. And I don’t think you’d want that…”

Kyu-bok swallowed, the colour deepening on his cheeks. Those words filled him with warmth, but not the comforting kind that usually was paired with a hug - it was crisper, smokier, crackling and alive with energy. And in this position, gazing up at the serious, stern face of an authoritative Alpha who held him close, Kyu-bok started to feel tightness in his belly, spreading across his body.

The alcohol, the Omega thought to himself, trying to ignore the small voice in the back of his mind that wanted to ask Dong-ho how the man intended to punish him. It has to be the alcohol.

"H-hyung," Kyubok stammered, his loose tongue from earlier now lost for words. "It's a bit warm now... a-are you hot? I-I'm hot. It's hot-" What was Kyu-bok saying? Why was he all of a sudden unable to formulate proper sentences? And why wasn't his body listening to what his brain was trying to tell him?? Kyu-bok figured he needed to pull away, but he was rooted in place - in fact, he curled in even close to Dong-ho, liking how good it made him feel to be pressed against a firm body.

"W-what would you do to me?" Kyu-bok finally asked, giving in to his impulsive thoughts. "If I broke the rules... how would you punish me?"
