Chapter 10 - What Happened?

SOOHA looked at Jooha who was still busy making dinner for him and Minha. Taeha was working overtime that day, so there will only be the three of them at home that weekend. Looking how Jooha was enjoying himself cooking, a question came on his head.

What do it feel like to do something that you like?

He had that question playing in his head for a few times already whenever he saw Jooha and Minha doing things they like. Jooha with his cooking and Minha with her art stuffs.

For him, he never thought of anything that he liked to do. Especially right after the incident. He lose all interest in everything around him and the only thing he wanna do was just to keep on living.

He suddenly remembered the pain in his parents eyes, how Taeha hyung turned his back from him, how Minha was crying hard looking at him after the incident. Almost everyone around him were looking at him with their sympathetic eyes.

The fact that he could not even explain himself about the incident made it worst. Not only the perpetrators were forgiven, he even had to be home-schooled after one of the parents of the culprit made it as if he's the problematic Omega, that no schools in the nearby neighborhood would want to take him in.

Sooha sighed. He looked down to his fingers. He suddenly remember Wooju's confused face as he left him alone that day. For the last few days before the weekend, he could not bring himself to be closer towards Wooju.

Every time his eyes met with Wooju's, he could remember the golden eyes Wooju had that night at his apartment. And that made him felt insecure with his surroundings.

"Oppa,"

Sooha lifted his head, looking at Minha who was looking at him with her worried face, "Uh?"

"Are you okay?" she asked as she patted on his shoulder.

Sooha smiled as he shook his head, "I am fine," he said.

Minha frowned, "But, you have been sighing a lot?"

Sooha chuckled, "I just had to think about my ongoing, non-stop assignments that I need to finish," he answered as he patted on Minha's head, "You dont have to be worried about me, little princess. I am fine," he added.

"I have an announcement to make,"

Sooha and MInha turned their heads, looking at Jooha who just finished cooking. He looked at the two of them with a big smile on his face.

"Hyung?"

Jooha smiled, "I invited an old friend for dinner today," he said.

Sooha frowned, "Old friend?"

"Yeah, yeah. Your friend is always welcomed, oppa. I am surprised that you had to make an announcement for that crap," Minha said as she looked at Jooha with her plain, calmed face.

Jooha looked at Minha, "But, you guys also know this old friend of mine, you know?"

Sooha looked at Jooha , "You don't say ..."

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

SOOHA sighed as he looked at Jooha looking all excited to invite Wooju in their house. He was the last person he would wanna see but Jooha just, ruined the plan. He quietly move, setting the table along with Minha.

"Oppa, are you okay?"

Sooha looked at Minha who was putting the main dish right on the middle of the table. Sooha just smiled as he nodded his head. Minha took a glimpse at Jooha and Wooju who were both still at the entrance as Wooju was still taking off his shoes.

"Who is that guy?" Minha asked.

Sooha looked at Minha. He was kind of surprised that Minha didn't recall being acquainted with Wooju. The last time they see each other was about five years ago. And Minha was already in elementary school.

"You dont remember him?" Sooha asked.

Minha just shook her head.

"Really? You dont remember him at all?" Sooha asked again.

Minha looked at Sooha with her annoyed face, "Oppa, if you think I can remember everything, you're wrong. I am a human , not a robot," she said.

"But, dont Alphas have good memories?" Sooha looked at Minha, looking all innocent with his question.

Minha was speechless and dumbfounded. Her face flushed and she just sighed, "Oh my God, please give me lots of patience," she muttered.

Sooha just chuckled. He looked at Minha walking towards the kitchen to get more of the dish that Jooha cooked.

"Well, thank you so much for inviting me for dinner, hyung,"

Sooha turned his head towards Wooju and Jooha who just entered the dining area in the house. Wooju was smiling when he turned his head towards Sooha. Sooha quickly turned his head, looking away from Wooju.

"Did you guys finished setting the table?" Jooha asked as he checked on the table, "You can sit first, Wooju. Just be comfortable just like how you always did back then," he said as he turned his head towards Wooju with a smile on his face.

While Jooha was checking on Minha in the kitchen, now there's only left Sooha and Wooju in the dining area with Sooha still setting the table.

There was an awkward silence between the two. Sooha just continued setting the table while Wooju just stood there, not knowing what to do. 

"D-do you need any help?"

Sooha looked at Wooju, "No, I'll be done in a minute. Just sit anywhere comfortably," he said in a slow , calmed voice.

Wooju nodded his head, looking at which seat to be taken. Then, there's another awkward silence between the two of them. Jooha and Minha were both sneaking, looking at the two of them being all awkward with each other.

"Dont just stand there, just take a seat anywhere you want," Sooha said, looking at Wooju with his unfazed face.

Minha looked at Jooha, "Oppa, who is that guy?" she asked, "He's an Alpha, right?"

Jooha smiled, "That guy always played with you when you're still a kid, Minha... How can you forget him like that??"

Minha frowned, "Really?" she asked as she turned her facing Wooju and Sooha in the dining area, "Why didn't I remember him at all?" she added.

Jooha chuckled, "I am not sure about that, but I do know you always play with him along with Sooha," he said as he patted on Minha's head, "Now let's bring everything left to the dining area before things gets more awkward for the two of them,"

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

SOOHA sighed when Wooju was sitting right across him. He felt uncomfortable since he could notice how Wooju was staring at him almost all the time. What ever he do, when ever he moved, Wooju will always has his eyes on him. He felt like his privacy was being violated, even that's nothing far from irrelevance.

"Well, I noticed so many changes on you since you left, Wooju yah... Back then, your height was only on my waist," Jooha said as he chuckled at the end of his words.

Wooju looked at Jooha, in disbelief,

"Your waist? Isn't that too much? I think I almost have the same height with Sooha," he looked at Sooha with a smile on his face, "Am I right?"

Sooha looked at Wooju with his confused face, "What is that supposed to mean?"

Wooju turned to Jooha, "Gosh, am I that short back then?" he asked.

His question made Jooha burst into laughter. Sooha just looked away. For him, reminiscing the past was something useless and a waste of time. Especially when he, who just want to forget everything from the past, was involved.

Wooju noticing how Sooha suddenly finishing his meal in fast pace. He definitely looked so uncomfortable with him being in the house. Looking at how Sooha was behaving, he looked down and a short smile was drawn on his face.

Sooha stood up from his seat, "I am done eating. I'll be in my room if anything," he said as he walked away from the table, heading towards the kitchen to clean his dishes.

All eyes on Sooha who was leaving. Wooju looked at Sooha until he was no longer in his sight, while Jooha and Minha just remained silently eating their food.

"He's always like that," Jooha said as he looked at Wooju with a short, awkward smile on his face.

"Oppa have been like that since the incident at school. His appetite never recovers after that incident," Minha said in a slow voice before munching her food.

Wooju was confused. He looked at the two of them with his confused face, "What happened? What incident?"

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

SOOHA sighed as he flopped himself onto his bed. Having Wooju inside his house is really dangerous for him. Minha is an Alpha, but since she was his little sister, he doesnt have any problem with her pheromones. But with Wooju's in his house ...

He felt threatened.

Not only because of his pheromones, but also how he cant forget Wooju's golden eyes on that night. He was still uncomfortable with him. No, he was scared. He was really scared.

He just cant be around Wooju anymore. He scratched his head. For now, he was afraid that he would be scared of SooA too, since she's an Alpha as well. But, since the two of them rarely meet these days, he felt relieved.

But still, he's being wary with every thing.

Sooha sighed, how to get rid of this disturbing feelings?

"SOOHA, WOOJU'S GOING HOME NOW!!"

Sooha turned his head towards his door. Jooha's loud voice could be heard from downstairs. He took off from his bed, slowly climbing down the stairs. As soon as he arrived at the last stair, he looked at Wooju who was being send off by Jooha and Minha.

"You're welcome anytime if you wanna eat some home made meals, Ha Wooju," Jooha patted on Wooju's head, "Just ring me if you want too, okay?" he added.

Wooju just smiled and nodded his head. He turned to Minha who was waving her hand towards him, "Bye-bye," she said with no smile drawn on her face.

Then, Wooju's eyes were focused on Sooha who was looking from the stairs. A huge smile was drawn on his face, "See you in class, Yoon Sooha," he said while waving his hands towards Sooha.

Sooha just smiled. He was just looking at him until he was no longer on his sight. As soon as he was about to head back to his room,

"Yoon Sooha,"

Sooha turned his head toward Jooha who was looking at him with his serious face, "Yeah?"
