Omega X

Chapter 01 - The Omega Who Fell from Darkness

Where am I? It’s warm…

A distant voice echos in the darkness, “What is he?” 

Another deep voice replies, “According to this, he’s omega. As to what kind, I don’t know.” 

“That’s not a real answer, you’re suppose to be the best. I can’t even sense his pheromones so how can you say he’s ome—“ 

The second voice interrupts, “You can’t sense it because it’s internal, most likely pheromone shock. Like I said, I never seen an omega with such a high level of pheromones. He has five times more than that of a Superior Omega.” 

Omega? What are they talking about? Is it about me?

“How the hell is that possible?” 

“Well…” 

Who are they? They sound like they’re fighting…but why? 

The voices trail off, the faint beat of his heart replaces the irritated voices circling in his head. He tries to open his eyelids but they’re so heavy and weak. 

Badump…badump… 

His heart beat slowly sounds higher. He winces and stirs as he tries to open up his strained eyes.

“Ah,” A man says, “I think he’s waking up.” 

“Good. Now I can ask him why the hell he broke my doors.” 

The man interrupts him, “Seok, like I said, don’t stress him out.” He firmly warned. 

“Stress him out? I’m the one who’s fucking stressed.” He interjected. 

Dizziness overcomes him as he tries to open his eyes, as he tries, silence fills the room. It feels as if eyes are burning into his skin—watching, waiting. The uncomfortable feeling lingers as he successfully flutters his eyelids open.

Still the silence continues. 

As he opens his eyes and blinks, the blurriness of his surroundings ease a bit more. The dizziness soon dissipates. He sees two men standing before him but he can’t make out who they are. Both are tall though, one with jet black hair and the other with sand colored hair.

I can’t make out their faces… who are they…? What do they want?

One of the men, the one with the black hair, hurriedly strides towards him and snaps his fingers. SNAP! SNAP! SNAP! “Hey.” He clicks his tongue as you would to an animal. “Hey Omega, wake up.” again he hears the snapping of fingers in his face. He winces from the sounds.

What the hell is he doing?  It’s annoying… so annoying 

SNAP! CLICK! SNAP!

God…what is he doing…?

“Oi!” His voice becomes louder. 

As this aggressive man shouts at him and snaps annoyingly into his face, the realization he is not alone and somewhere foreign dawns upon him. 

He abruptly gasps, “HAH!” 

The young man sits up, his eyes fully opened and frantic. The blanket that had been covering him falls down to his lap. The black haired man who had been pestering him is still in front of him. He stops his snapping, brief shock overcomes him from the sudden movement. He looks back at the other man and smirks, “See? That worked.” He turns his attention back at the now awake young man on the couch. 

The heart beat that slowly bumped, now raced with panic and confusion. His chest begins to hurt as it heaves up and down in a rapid movement. The breaths quicken in and out of his mouth. He hurriedly looks down at his arms and body, it is now clothed in oversized grey sweatshirt and pants. His eyes go into a frenzy trying to understand his surroundings. 

The sand colored man in the back calmly puts his hands up, “It’s okay, you’re okay now.” He turns to the other man, “Seok stop panicking him.” 

“Panicking him? He panicked me!” His shouts back. 

“Goddamnit Seok,” he hisses. The man tries to walk forward, “Now my name is Dr. Kearse. Take deep breaths in…” he deeply inhales, “…and out…just like th—“

“Fuck that shit.” the man cuts Dr. Kearse off and claps his hands right in front of the frantic young man’s face. The clap felt like thunder ringing in his ears. The moment those two hands touched, he gasps and like an animal, he digs his two fang like teeth into the annoying man’s hands. 

“FUCK!” He exclaimed. He retreats his hand to his chest. “God fucking damn omegas!” The young man breaths become deeper, his cyan eyes piercing the aggressive man’s brown eyes. “S-Stop…” he demanded, “…you annoying dip.” The man’s wooden eyes suddenly start to gleam with an orangish hue. His lips began trembling. Without warning, he clasps the small jaw with one of his immense hands. The trembling man’s hands clench onto the angry man’s arm.

“How fucking dare you” he holds the omega’s face closer, “I let you, a stray fucking Omega, stay in my home, then called my little doctor friend to take a look at you after you fucked my doors, fucked my floors and fucked my night—“ 

He snarls, “I’m s-sorry, I didn’t mean it.”  he breathes heavily through this man’s stronghold. “I meant…you’re a stupid dip if ‘fuck’ is all you know in your vocabulary.” He digs his sharp nails into the man’s thick arm. Blood trickles from the pierced skin onto his thin fingers. The dim orange hue in his eyes brighten, his lips curl up to show piercing teeth. The Omega digs his nails deeper. Both are in a trance of aggression, seeing who will back down. 

“ENOUGH.” Dr. Kearse grabs Seok’s hands off the Omega. The Omega sways back and wipes the blood from his bite off his lips. He looks at the two men with a mixture of fear, confusion, and anger. Seok backs away from the Omega and runs his hand through his hair angrily. He mumbles obscenities under his breath. Dr. Kearse glares at him and sighs. He sways his attention back on the poor young man on the couch. 

“I’m sorry for my friend here, he can be quite the charmer sometimes.” He clears his throat. “As I said before, my name is Dr. Kearse. This man here is Yun Seok but you can just call him Seok.” 

Seok shoots a glare at his friend. 

Dr. Kearse continues, “Now, what may your name be?” His smile is gentle as he kneels down to the omega’s position. 

The young man looks down at his hands as he fumbles his fingers. He ponders for a few seconds before answering. “I…really don’t know.” 

“Where did you come from?” 

Again he ponders the question. “Um…I don’t know….” 

“Do you remember anything, anything at all?” 

Seok throws his arms in the air, “I don’t know” he crudely mimics the omega.

The omega clenches his teeth and before he can rebuttal, Dr. Kearse softly touches his hands. the Omega glances upward at him. “Just ignore him, he’s just a bit grumpy. You know how Alphas’ are.”

Alpha…? What does he mean by that?

He just gives a tiny smile and nods his head. Seok glares at the both of them, “I’m going out for a smoke, don’t fucking complain if the smell gets inside, you broke my doors after all.” Dr. Kearse exhales a sharp sigh, “Seok no one is going to complain, now go before you make me want to start up again.” 

Dr. Kearse takes a moment to recollect from Seok’s attitude of the whole situation as he waits for him to leave the room. Seok stomps to the broken French doors. SCREEEECH. A horrid sound comes from the double doors as he opens and half heartedly shuts them. Dr. Kearse smiles back at the Omega before standing up, “Now, you’re a mystery in of itself.” He unexpectedly exclaimed.

The Omega scoots to the edge of the couch, the blanket that had covering his newly clothed body drapes over his lap. “What do you mean?” 

He hesitates at first, “Well, before I begin may I ask one more question?” 

“Um, sure, what is it?” 

“What type of Omega are you?” 

The two fall into silence, the young Omega looks upon the doctor’s face as if he was asked a question in a foreign language. 

Omega? What type? What does he mean by that? He keeps saying things I’ve never heard of before.

He hesitates to answer the weird question. 

“I…uh…I-I’m not sure what you mean.”

Dr. Kearse gives a questionable look. “By what part of my question confused you?” He gently asks. 

“Um, all of it…?” 

The two stare at each other, Dr. Kearse slowly speaks, “Do…you know what Omega is?” 

He silently shakes his head.

Dr. Kearse continues, “Alpha?” 

Again, the omega shakes his head. 

“Pheromones? Heat? Imprinting? Bonding? Marking?” 

Again, in rhythm, he shakes his head ‘no’ towards all of the doctor’s questions. Dr. Kearse rubs his eyes and takes a deep breath in. “How can this be? How can you not be aware of Omega and Alpha? They’re second gender…it’s as if you wouldn’t know that males or females existed.”  

The Omega blushes in embarrassment. Somehow it feels like he is being made fun of in a strange way. “I know what males and females are, I’m a male.” 

He interjects, “but your second gender is Omega, such as Seok’s second gender is Alpha. As for myself I’m a beta, I do not have a second gender.” The perplexed doctor continues on piling  unfamiliar words on him. 

“Please!” He begs, “Please, I…really don’t know any of this…” Dr. Kearse closes his mouth and gives a moment to sort out his thoughts. Suddenly, the broken doors thrust open with a cringey creak, Seok re-enters the room appearing less stress. He looks at the Omega as he approaches, his orange hued eyes have become that deep brown again. He turns his gaze to the doctor but frowns once he sees his friend’s upturned face. 

“What the hell happened while I was out there?” 

The omega was silent on the couch looking away from the men. Dr. Kearse runs his hands through his hair and with a serious face tells Seok, “We may have a problem.” 

Seok is taken aback. “What do you mean?” 

“Let’s all sit down and try to figure this out."

The two men sit opposite of the omega on leather recliners, the only thing separated the two from him was the petite coffee table. The three sat in an uncomfortable stillness, the only noises is the pitter patter of the rain upon the roof. 

Dr. Kearse clears his throat,  “Before we discuss this any further, I wanted to apologize omega for throwing all this at you in your confused state.”

The omega scowls, “Please don’t call me that when I don’t even know what that is.” Seok’s jaw drops in instant disbelief. “What do you mean you don’t know what that is?” He scoffs. Seok turn towards his friend, “Is this what you wanted to discuss?” Dr. Kearse nods. “Un-fucking-believable. Not only it’s an unknown stray omega with a pheromone dysfunction, but it doesn’t know what second gender’s are?” He shoots a smile at the omega, “Dumb and dysfunctional omega… maybe his owner threw him away?” 

What did he just say?

His lips part to counter his verbal assault but nothing will come out.

What is wrong with me? These unknown emotions start piling up. Threw me away? No… I ran away, that’s all I know, and the fear…although I don’t know why I felt the fear. 

His blue eyes gloss over, his pinkish lips curl, his hands tremble. Seok’s eyebrows furrow. “Haaa… I said too much.” He whispers. He looks up at the Omega and flinches as he sees tears drip down his small face. “Ugh, goddammit…. Forget I said anything, just for the love of God, stop doing that.”

The young man wipes his tears away, not able to look at Seok’s face. Again, that same embarrassment floods his mind and flushes his face. Seok rubs his eyes with the palm of his hands. “This is just confusing, how can an omega not know about anything? This is something any five year old would know.”

Dr. Kearse intervenes, “Seok.” Seok purses his lips, folds his arms and leans back into his recliner. Dr. Kearse continues from their previous conversation.

“I…or I mean we don’t know what to call you, you had no identification on you, you cannot remember your name, the only thing you have is that X.” The doctor points with finger towards the young man’s lower stomach.

The omega slowly looks down and pulls up his oversized sweater slightly above his belly button, revealing the engraved ‘X’ above his groin area. Seok looks down at his tan body and quickly looks away, a slight redness dashes across his face. 

The omega sighs, “I honestly don’t know what this is, I really didn’t notice it… but somehow I knew it was there… sort of knowing you have hair, you sense and feel it’s there but you can’t really see it for yourself.” He falls silent and with a crestfallen expression whispers, “Please, I don’t know who or what I am… I’m… I’m just confused, only confused.” He pulls his shirt down and curls the blanket up to his chest for comfort. 

Seok and Dr. Kearse look at each other, and for the first time this evening Seok had a look of sorrow upon his face. Dr. Kearse nudges him. Seok then leisurely stands up and sits at the opposite end of the couch that the omega is sitting upon. He exhales, “Listen, I was pissed my doors were fucked with. I work long hours and tomorrow is my first day off in a very long time.” He looks at Dr. Kearse, he hints for him to go on. Seok scratches his head, “And until we can find out what the hell is going on with you, you…can stay here.” 

The omega’s eyes widen and he looks at this man in disbelief. This Seok has been yelling at him, cursing at him, and even angrily laying his hands on him this whole evening. 

Is it because I cried? 

Seok lifts off the couch, “As for tonight, I think we should rest and discuss more tomorrow.” He waves at Dr. Kearse, “I’m too tired to give the grand ol’ house tour, show X where he can sleep, use the bathroom, and fucking anything else you can think of.” 

Before Seok can leave Dr. Kearse stops him, “X?” He questions the odd and sudden naming.

“Yeah, X” he looks at the Omega, “I’m keeping him, might as well name him.” 

The young man becomes flushed, “Excuse me?” He angrily shouts, “I’m not an ani—”

“Goodnight.” Seok waves his hand in the air before walking to the staircase, slowly disappearing upstairs. X looks back at Dr. Kearse and he just shrugs back at him, a part of him knows he sometimes cannot reason with his stubborn Alpha friend. 

“Well X, let me show you around.” He hands out his hand to help the omega up. “I’ll fill you in on everything you don’t yet know tomorrow.” He again gives a warm smile. “In the meantime, let’s get you set up for tonight.” 

X nods, “Alright…”
