Ch 22: Bam Bam

Catching the Little Fox

This was really exciting. Everything outside was white!

 

Soonyoung stared outside the bus, waking Seokmin up who was sleeping beside him. In less than an hour, he will try to ski for the first time in his life and he was too excited he couldn’t sleep last night. Well, of course the road was a bit too bumpy for him to sleep anyway but he was restless all night long. Hopefully he still have enough energy to play today.

 

‘Whoa. It’s so white! Like a madhouse! The one you see on tv!’ Seokmin randomly stated as he woke up, earning a gleeful laugh from the slightly smaller male. Soonyoung did his excited dance and Seokmin reacted with his own silly expressionless move and both of them laughed, their voices the only ones heard in the whole bus. Soonyoung thought he would be a bit miserable considering how Wonwoo basically ditched him on their first winter break to be with his club members but thankfully Seokmin was willing to accompany him to the ski trip. They were talking about it and as it happened, the alpha never skied before too. They booked the tickets right away.

 

‘What’s so funny about that?’ Soonyoung almost jumped as he heard the voice from behind, coming in between his and Seokmin’s seat. It was none other than the hyperactive alpha, Bam Bam. The man invited himself when he offered to find the package with the best price in place of the inexperience duo, boasting on his expertise on comparing prices. They only asked for his help to book the trip, for two, only to discover that it was actually for three yesterday night. Right before they boarded the bus.

 

Soonyoung stared at Seokmin, still a bit mad because of what happened but the latter could only shrug. Sure, he knew the omega was not fond of his friend but they should be fine. His friend would probably spend most of his time flirting with random omegas he find. Soonyoung was not in heat so Bam Bam wouldn’t try to do anything to him either.

 

Minus the suggestive smile the other alpha like to throw to the two of them which would make them awkward with each other, his presence wouldn’t affect their trip as far as he was concerned.

 

 

*****

 

 

Soonyoung tumbled over, sinking his ski deep into the snow before stopping on his back, hitting his head. The soft look was deceiving. The snow was hard and his brain just buzzed. All he could see was the grey sky.

 

‘Soonyoung-ah!!! You okay??’ He looked over to see the alpha struggling with his own as he tried to make his way to Soonyoung. And somehow, he couldn’t brake his skis and slid down the slope as fast as lightning, his screaming voice echoed before a loud thud was heard. Of course, he hit a tree.

 

Trying hard to lift himself up, some snow got onto his face and a menacing laughing voice was heard. ‘Oh my god you guys really .’ Bam Bam commented as he stopped just inches away from the omega and helped him up. Continuing to mock him, the man skied to his friend and did the same. Soonyoung could only curse the guy for their situation. Knowing fully well how inexperienced both of them were, he offered to teach them and thought it was a good idea to bring them to the highest, steepest peak. A few simple technique and he was gone, showing off his skills to some random omegas. He passed by them three times already and Soonyoung was starting to feel the tired yet they still have a long journey back.

 

Carefully gliding down, both of them had to take off their skis and walk back up a few times due to them missing the turn. They opted to slide through the beginner’s route even though it was harder as it was almost horizontal. As they finally reached the starting point, they finally felt brave enough to challenge the intermediates’ ones.

 

Which was a bad idea since they lost track of time and panicked once the announcement of the closing time was made. Then they realized both of them didn’t know the time as they left their phones in the locker, afraid to break them. Bam Bam had to guide them down, lifting both of them every single time they tumbled down. He was a bit useful after all.

 

 

‘Isn’t this exciting?’ Bam Bam clicked their cans together, winking at Soonyoung who shuddered from repulse. He didn’t even want to think of how they were going to sleep tonight. There was a single bed and another double bed in the room and Bam Bam had taken the single one the moment they entered the room, again, grinning mischievously at the other two while laughing like a maniac. If Soonyoung could, he would even sleep on the couch just to wipe the smug of the face but when he suggested it, Seokmin offered to do it in his place instead and Soonyoung would never let the ray of sunshine sleep there.

 

‘Arghhh my shoulders!’

 

‘We fell more than you! Don’t overreact.’ Seokmin pinched his friend’s shoulders which earned him a scream. ‘AWOOO!!! YAHH!!! Why are you laughing? Yah!!’

 

‘It’s gonna hurt more tomorrow.’

 

‘Did you guys bring any heat-patch or something?’ Bam Bam started to massage his back. ‘It’ll hurt som badly you won’t be able to move tomorrow. You rolled down the slope so your neck’ll hurt.’ He pointed to Soonyoung and almost laughed, recalling how the omega spun around while every single time while his friend tumbled and either hit something or someone before stopping. A tissue thrown onto his face silenced his giggles. ‘Sorry. It’s just that you look so funn-‘

 

‘We get it. We . You were the one who brought us way up there.’ Seokmin interrupted before the other could even continue his chuckle. He was having the time of his life, judging from the tears flowing from his silly face.

 

‘Mianhae! You just have no talents. Not my fault.’ He shrugged before another tissue was thrown, this time, from the omega. ‘Okay, okay! Stop wasting tissues! Dokyeom, go buy us one.’

 

‘We’ll just sleep it off. And why me?’

 

‘Owh… trust me. Hoshi’s not gonna be able to even turn his head tomorrow without it.’ Soonyoung reflexively held the back of his neck to massage it lightly. It hurt so bad. Smirking, the now bleach blond-haired alpha continued, ‘and leave you two alone?? I won’t be able to return back since you two’ll get bus-‘

 

‘YAAH!!!’’Yaah!!!!’ Both the other males screamed at the same time as the man did an body roll. ‘You want Hoshi to buy it? There’re many drunk alphas outside he might get kidnapped.’

 

Soonyoung laughed awkwardly, thinking that the other was joking but the serious look on Seokmin stopped him. ‘I’ll go with Dokyeom then…’

 

A lifted brow and Bam Bam suddenly threw a tantrum. ‘Fine. Leave me alone and go for your date. Might as well book you guys a room.’ He was so bitter Soonyoung could only stare at Seokmin helplessly. He didn’t want to be left alone with the man.

 

‘I’ll be back soon.’ Soonyoung’s face fell at that reply.

 

Once the door closed, the omega sipped on his beer frequently, trying to ease the tension. None of them said a word, Bam Bam kept munching on the chips and playing with his phone and somehow, Soonyoung was too afraid to move around. He wanted to snack too but didn’t want to disrupt the other’s action so he continued taking small gulps. Until he was out of beer. His body was getting hotter yet he was thirsty so he looked around for some soda or juice but there was none. Opening a new can, he contemplated if he should drink anymore beer while waiting for Seokmin to come back.

 

‘Are you drunk?’ Soonyoung flinched as the alpha suddenly broke the silence. Laughing awkwardly, he shook his head and look for the television remote instead, trying to lessen the tension. ‘Alright… go on then. Drink more!’

 

‘I’m okay…’

 

‘Why? No need to hold back.’

 

‘I’m  a bad drunk.’

 

‘You mean, you become once you’re drunk?’ Soonyoung felt goosebumps at the statement and backed away a few inches, noticing the weird look Bam Bam was giving him. Holding the remote tightly, he forced a smile, ‘No. I puke.’

 

‘Toilet’s right over there. Drink.’ The alpha growled slightly which scared the other. He could sense the sudden intense pheromone and couldn’t help but comply. Soonyoung wanted to get out of the room right this moment. As he swallowed the bitter liquid, he felt pressure on his inner thigh. Bam Bam was just inches away from his face. ‘Wanna ?’

 

‘No…’ Soonyoung pulled the hand away from him but almost screamed when the other his neck.

 

‘I’m better than him. I’ll make you so many times you’ll get addicted.’ He was shaking now. He could just stand up and walk away but he couldn’t even move an inch. ‘I’m bigger than him.’ The man whispered.

 

‘I don’t… want to.’

 

‘Come on. You’ll get all lustful when you drink right?’ His hand was now inside Soonyoung’s shirt, playing with his chest and the latter almost cry from disgust.

 

‘Seokmin’s…’

 

‘Dokyeom’s just a friend right? You can have more than one. You don’t have to commit…’ the alpha pushed Soonyoung down on the floor and got on top of him, sliding his other hand into the omega’s boxer, attacking his groin.

 

‘STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING??’

 

‘He won’t be back for a while. We have time.’

 

‘No!’ Soonyoung pushed the man away from attacking his jaw but he was rendered weak from the intense pheromone. His slightly blurred vision was not helping either as the man pulled his shirt over his head. ‘Seokmin!!!’

 

Hiding his exposed upper half, Soonyoung felt the weight on his body disappeared along with the unwanted touches. Catching his breath as he sobbed, he saw Bam Bam continued eating the chips, as if nothing happened. He sat up and dried his tears, too afraid to look at the alpha. Putting his shirt back on, he gasped when Bam Bam leaned towards him. ‘Don’t play with him. Hurt him and I’ll kill you sweetie.’

 

Soonyoung took deep breath to calm himself while nodding, fearing the man who had a threatening smirk decorating his face. ‘He’ll be back soon. I’m leaving.’

 

True to Bam Bam’s word, Seokmin entered the room panting, going straight to his friend to scold him before noticing the omega’s scent filling the room. Bam Bam laughed playfully at his friend, handing him the hot patch that he brought from the beginning before moving towards the front door. ‘Someone just called me to her room. I won’t be back tonight. WOOHOOO!!’ He hip ed a few times, earning a laugh from his friend. ‘You guys have fun!’ He winked suggestively as usual before leaving them.

 

Seokmin turned around to see the omega gone. He must be in the bathroom. Eating the stuff they laid on the table, he tapped his hand, feeling a bit restless from the strong scent. There were no sound coming from the bathroom and yet Soonyoung had been inside for a while. Something was wrong. ‘Soonyoung-ah! Everything okay?’

 

Soonyoung got out after a while and climbed on the double bed, preparing to sleep. ‘I’m tired.’

 

‘Okay. Good night.’ He cleaned the mess and washed his face before getting on the single bed. He switched off the light, applied the liquid patch all over his body and went to sleep.

 

Soonyoung stared at the ceiling long after the other had entered his dreamland, judging from the relaxed snore. He was still a bit shaken from what happened. Bam Bam had just threatened him. He was never felt so intimidated in his life. Even his hometown ahjummas only went as far as threatening to tell his grandfather about things they were not happy about. He never felt this scared.

 

Bam Bam was scary. He always looked like a foolish erted alpha. Soonyoung never expected that side of him.

 

He couldn’t sleep. He was afraid if the alpha return at night and do something to him.

 

Turning around to face the noisy sleeper, he got out of bed and placed himself in those arms. He would be okay with Seokmin. Seokmin will never let anything happen to him.

 

  

*****

 

 

Soonyoung woke up miserably. His body aches in places he never knew was possible. He literally had to carry his head onto the pillow with his hands in the middle of the night because his neck hurt so bad. His wrists, his jaws, everywhere. Seokmin just had to wake him up.

 

‘Check out’s in an hour. Bam Bam’s not coming, he’s spending the next few days with some random omegas.’ Seokmin held his hands and pulled the omega up to a sitting position. Walking ever so slowly, he pulled the alpha with him. ‘Where are we going?’

 

‘Brush teeth.’

 

‘I washed up. You should probably take a hot bath. It’ll ease your muscle pain.’

 

‘Why’re you so happy? It’s annoying.’ He mumbled and stepped onto the cold tiled floor. He heard the alpha called out to him to ask if he wanted to ski today. Their bus home was at five and they have time to waste. No way.

 

‘What do you wanna do then? There’s nothing here.’

 

‘Lets walk around.’

 

‘Okay… and here.’ Seokmin placed the hot ointment in front of him. ‘You should’ve used this yesterday.’

 

 

*****

 

 

The ride home was torture. His whole body hurt everytime the bus bumped into something. Owh how he wished he could sleep like the alpha beside him.

 

Staring at the sharp nose, Soonyoung recalled what Bam Bam told him. Not to play Seokmin.

 

He wasn’t playing anybody. Seokmin is a good friend who agreed to help him. They enjoy each other’s company. He felt really comfortable telling Seokmin things he never tell anyone else because Seokmin was a good guy. He didn’t sleep around like the other alpha. Soonyoung would never hurt him.

 

Feeling bored out of his mind, he finally looked at his phone. As usual, the mere name displayed on screen was enough to carve a smile on his face. Wonwoo seemed to be having fun camping during the winter with his friends. Thank god Soonyoung didn’t join him. He would never understand why someone would sleep in the cold like that. Even if Wonwoo had invited him, which he didn’t, Soonyoung would have chosen to go with Seokmin to the ski trip after all.

 

 

*****

 

 

‘Dokyeom-ah!!!’ His friend knocked on the door more than just a few times, angering the seniors who screamed at the duo. Laughing his heart out, the foreigner finally took his seat on the bed, looking at Seokmin who was busy writing notes.

 

‘Bam Bam… did you say anything to Hoshi?’

 

‘Not that I remembered. He was so awkward and quiet. Why?’

 

‘Nothing. He just seemed… a bit… Naah. It’s nothing.’ After their trip, Soonyoung felt a bit distance from him. He could just be busy with his boyfriend so they couldn’t spend time together that much but he would also reject the alpha’s calls, which he never did before. Something felt a bit off.

 

‘Dokyeom-ah.’ Bam Bam calling him gently broke his line of thoughts. He was weirdly calm. Seokmin felt uneasy. ‘I’ll return to Thai soon.’

 

‘Holiday?’

 

‘No. For good.’ Seokmin stared curiously at his friend before laughing. That was a good joke. He wouldn’t be deceived though. Bam Bam laughed along with him, hitting the bed hard. ‘That’s stupid right?’

 

‘You bastard!’ Seokmin turned his chair around before noticing the dark look on the other. ‘No… you’re not kidding. Why? Suddenly?’

 

‘Called back be the old lady.’

 

‘In the middle of the semester?? You haven’t even finished your first year! What the hell?’ Seokmin almost got up in frustration. This was too sudden. His heart was not ready. ‘What did you do??’

 

‘I uh… screwed up.’

 

 

‘You always screw up! How bad is it?’

 

‘I’ll be a dad. Surprise!’ He replied and clapped unenthusiastically. Seokmin, on the other hand, almost lost his mind. ‘What the hell???’

 

‘I know. It’s hell.’

 

‘Who? The chick back at the ski park?’ Bam Bam gave him an unreadable smile. He didn’t look that devastated. It couldn’t be…. ‘Yahh! That noona? Yah! Did you? Did you plan all this?’

 

The omega noona Bam Bam always had a crush on since he was little. She left Thailand when he was little and went to Korea, which was the reason why the alpha was here in the first place to look for her. Luckily, she went to the same university. Unfortunately, his mother wasn’t fond of the girl. And although Bam Bam had a bad boy image, he never disobeyed his mother.  All the more reason why Seokmin was skeptical.

 

‘No! I didn’t! I was lucky!’

 

‘Lucky your ! What the hell man? She’s gonna have to face your mom now!’

 

‘And my mom’s gonna have to let me take her as my mate!’ Seokmin couldn’t belief what he just heard. Did Bam Bam just ignored the fact the his mother despised the girl? Why was he so cool about it? ‘She’s been bugging me to stop sleeping around. This is the best solution.’

 

‘That was stupid of you.’

 

‘We were drunk! I didn’t remember anything.’

 

‘What made you so sure it’s yours.’

 

‘She’s not that kind of girl Dokyeom! I know it’s mine!’ Seokmin didn’t know what to say anymore. The whole situation was absurd. Sure, he always joke that this might happen but never would he have thought it would. He knew Bam Bam was not asking for his advice, rather, he was only notifying him of his return. It was too late.

 

Seokmin sighed. ‘When are you leaving?’

 

‘As soon as possible…’

 

‘Not gonna wait for the end of the semester? It’s only one more month.’

 

‘She’s almost showing. Can’t let her go back alone. My mom’ll kill her.’

 

‘Jesus Bam Bam…’ he rubbed his temple. He had no idea this happened. Almost showing meant it was at least four months. Bam Bam never told anything to him. He thought he would at least do that. He felt the other’s palm on his shoulder, massaging him slowly. ‘Lemme give you one last advice.’

 

‘Really? Advice from you?’ Seokmin replied sarcastically while glancing at his friend. The guy just made a huge mistake and he thought he could go around giving people advice?

 

‘There’s more than one way to get your fox. I’m just saying.’ Wide-eyed, Seokmin almost flipped his table over if not for the playful sneer from the hyperactive male. ‘I’m kidding! Mine was a sweet accident!’

 

‘Sweet? Accident? You sure you didn’t plan it?’

 

‘Hey. I sleep around a lot. It’s bound to happen sooner or later. She just happened to be the girl of my dream.’ Bam Bam shrugged as if he didn’t just said something serious which made Seokmin all the more angry. But he knew the man was nothing but serious. He had this slight frown hidden behind his goofy smile. He had thought real hard about it and this was his best solution. Seokmin had to respect that. Not everyone wants to take responsibility for their mistakes like his friend. ‘If you don’t do something about Hoshi, someday you’ll regret it. He might finally do it with his lover or something then you’ll have no use to him. I’m only giving you advice as a seonbae.’

 

‘I know.’ Seokmin looked down at his notebook as he doodled nonsense at the edge. They are really good right now, Soonyoung had been more open with him, comfortable enough to talk about his childhood. On the other hand, he had no idea how much progress Soonyoung and his boyfriend had made in the past few months. He didn’t want to think about it. He prefer to delude himself, thinking that he was the special one.

 

‘I’ll go back as soon as I get an okay from the university. Latest should be next week.’

 

Sighing deeply, ‘You need help packing?’

 

 

 

To be continued…

 

Bam Bam’s really serious when it comes to his best friend! Poor Hoshi T.T but he’s leaving!!

I have nothing else to say except that I’ll take my time writing the next chapter! I thought I’ll have time now that I’ve graduated but I’m so wrong ^^;;

Chapter 42: I only had four hours of sleep for 3 consecutive nights because of your fic and its totally worth it!!!!!!!! Now, i'm dying to read Claimed again, and i'm lowkey hoping for JeongCheol's story.

Chapter 42: Chapter 41: You, my friend, are the reason for my unhealthy obsession with omegaverse! I am really glad you wrote the SeokSoon couple's story since I was curious about their relationship while reading Claimed. And as expected of you, this fic definitely deserves a thumbs up. So I am gonna go ahead and shamelessly (albeit desperately) request you to please write about JeongCheol's side of the story as well. I have so many questions about their past, especially Jeonghan's, and it's killing me *sighs*
Apologies for my selfishness; you must be trying to catch a break. But please, if you can and if you want to, consider my request (read begging)...Please >_<
You are awesome, always will be. Your work just keeps me wanting for more ♡

Chapter 42: Ahhhh! It's finally done! I'm crying!
Congratulations, I know you worked really hard since Claimed, I'm so proud of you!
You did really well!

I'm so happy that everyone's happy! I've been really attached to both Seokmin's and Soonyoung's characters since Claimed and I'm so SO soooooo happy that they both got their own happy endings here!

I know I've said this before [but I'mma say it again 'cause I love you!], but I really love your writing style and how you made this a/b/o fic feel more natural. Like, there's still the a/b/o elements but the arguments and lovey-dovey moments between SeokSoon was so natural, like I could imagine meeting this kind of couple in real life.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful ride! I can't wait to read more from you in the future! Keep it up, Author-nim!

Also thank you for always working hard on providing us good stories. I'm happy seeing the ending even tho I expected "something more" between Seok and Soon in this chapter but that's fine if there is none!! As long as my babies are happy like this then everything's settled down T___T

Once again thank you! Hope to see you in the other journey of SeokSoon again hehehe ❤️

I'm really crying!
Seokmin and Soonyoung are too precious for this world! I really love how real this relationship feels, it's not all like fairy tales where we see the sweet and romantic scenes...we get to see the internal struggles and the conflicts their relationship faces. I love it. I really really love it.

Keep up the good work, Author-nim! ♡
