Chapter 9
Memories engraved in the season's[CONTENTID1]
JongIn comes back home to a thundering storm. It has been raining so hard for almost half a day now and he got a bit worried about Kyungsoo who was staying home all alone. When he enters their house, it was so dark and silent. But that wasn’t the thing that grabbed his attention the most. It was the pungent fragrance of Jasmines, Mandarin oranges, and Ylang Ylang hitting him like a massive ball of pheromones and JongIn immediately gets out of the house and closes the door shut behind him. He takes a couple of deep breaths, processing the exact situation he stumbled upon. With the immense amount of pheromones clouding their house, there is only one answer to it. Kyungsoo is in heat.
But why would he go into heat when he was mated to Chanyeol?
Was, his brain highlights. Is he still mated to Chanyeol? He remembers not seeing Chanyeol’s claim mark anywhere around Kyungsoo’s neck but then again, the mating mark is not only left on the neck but it can also be marked anywhere on the scent glands, which is spread all across the neck, nape, and slightly down the chest. And also, Jongin hasn’t been sensing Chanyeol’s Rosewood fragrance anywhere on Kyungsoo since the moment the omega had moved in into his house.
But then again, he is an Alpha, omegan biology is foreign to him. So instead of assuming things on his own, he calls the most reliable omega he can think of, his older brother.
When Junmyun picks up, Jongin hurriedly explains the situation and Junmyun calms his brother down, telling him what he needs to know.
“Jongin, I can’t tell you what exactly is happening with Kyungsoo’s body because I am no medical man. Those are questions you should ask Jungkook, he can explain things better. But as an omega, I can tell you something. He is probably going through broken bond syndrome. I personally know a few who had gone through this. It is not frequent but quite common among omegas. It happens when the alpha usually rejects the omega after bonding and bonds with another omega. But in Kyungsoo’s case, it is happening because the side alpha is no more in this world. The bond broke and the mark vanished. He is unmarked now; with every trace of his once mate’s pheromones disappearing from his scent glands.
I heard that despite being on heat suppressants, one will definitely go through a heat right after or within few days after the mating mark breaks. And that heat is the most painful and horrible one. But not to worry, I heard there are proper medications for this type of heats and a strong suppressant that will stop the heat almost immediately. I obviously don’t know the suppressants but you can ask Jungkook for them. And stay calm and help him, everything will be alright once he takes his medications.” His brother reassures and JongIn calmly thanks him, telling him that he would inform him later on about Kyungsoo’s progress. He calls Jungkook after that and the side alpha tells him to come to his hospital and get a prescription for it because the medicine is a high-dosed one and is not easily dispensed. He drives to SNU and gets the prescription and then the medicine. Right before he entered his house once again, he injects himself with a runt suppressant and pheromone suppressants, not wanting to succumb to any of his animal instincts. He puts on a pheromone filtering mask and takes in a deep breath before opening the door and finally entering his house.
The house was still the same, dark and silent, but the thickness of the pheromones in the air only grew more, so much so that he can still smell the faint fragrance of Kyungsoo’s jasmines through his mark. He shakes his head to clear his mind and calmly walks up the stairs, stopping in front of Kyungsoo’s door. He hesitates at first, but pushes himself and finally knocks onto the door to no reply. Worried, he silently pushes opens the door only to find Kyungsoo lying on the floor, in wet clothes, unconscious. JongIn eyes widen as he immediately runs up to him, helping him up onto his lap. JongIn taps on his cheeks, trying to get him back to his senses. Kyungsoo slowly opens his eyes, breathing hard. JongIn doesn’t waste any more time as he right away helps Kyungs
