Insu was born and raised in the woods. Their house was deep into the forest, far away from the city and other people, hidden by the endless trees that surrounded the area.
He and his twin siblings had asked their parents countless times why they lived that way, whether there was a reason for hiding like this.
‘We’re not hiding. We’re just trying to protect you from the world. It’s better for us to live peacefully here. You’re gonna be safe this way.’
But they never told them what it was they were protecting them against. They wouldn’t answer that question, no matter how many times they’d asked.
And one day, only a few weeks after his 18th birthday, Insu gave in to his curiosity. He was sitting on top of one of the tallest trees, eyes fixated on the town he could see from up there when he decided to just go have a look. Just walk among the city people once, and that would be it. He would live in the woods with his family after that with no further questions. He just wanted to see what their lives were like, was all.
The next morning, before even the sun was up and while everyone was asleep, he sneaked out of their shack, leaving a note that said he was going for a mountain hike.
The path was long, and his legs were already hurting way before he’d reach the city. His little adventure would probably need more than a day to fulfill after all.
It was around midnight when he finally, after an entire day of walking, reached the city. The closer he got to the gates, it seemed as if the air got thicker, something he was unfamiliar with.
Overwhelmed by all that he had never seen before, he got alarmed by his stomach when it growled at him with how hungry he was. He hadn’t eaten the whole way there, and now the starvation was finally showing. At home, they would go to the forest daily, picking up fruits, hunting, and getting water from the river, but here, he didn’t know where he could do all that, whether that was the way these people gained their food in the first place.
He decided to walk further in and see where he could find some fruit and water. Anything, really.
At first, when he got to the town, there were only a few people around, but the more he walked, the population increased as well and so did the stares directed at him. Could these people tell that he wasn’t from around there? Was it his clothes? It must’ve been since those people were wearing completely different from his handmade ones.
A pain shot through his body unannounced, and made him wince as he stopped on his track and bent down a bit, arms wrapped around his abdomen. It was weird. Was he really that hungry?!
Breathing in and out to take control of the pain, he straightened up a bit, and it was only then he noticed nearly everyone around him had stopped and was now watching him. Over 100 pairs of eyes on him, their gazes so… scary. Feeling in danger, he hung his head low as he made his way through the crowd circled around him and little by little started running without really caring where it would lead him. He just wanted to get away from those frightening eyes and sit somewhere until the increasing pain in his body disappeared.
As he ran, he didn’t miss how every single person he passed looked at him with widened eyes, wonder, and shock visible on their faces. He hated it. He hated the attention and the thought that there was something so wrong and out of the ordinary with him that triggered such behavior.
There was an alley ahead and he turned into it, back resting against the wall as he heaved for air once he found it fortunately empty.
The unfamiliar pain was increasing at an insane pace, leaving his body trembling and sweating all over. He was having a terrible fever too, and it seemed like there was liquid moving in his lower body. The whole thing was strange. Strange and so so painful. He should’ve listened to his parents and stayed home.
“This scent-,… it’s driving me CRAZY!” He heard someone groan as a few heads appeared in the alley.
“So it’s you who’s making the whole town go insane with how delicious you are!” Another man said, reaching him and combing his fingers through Insu’s long, pink hair.
He couldn’t answer or react in any way as the next thing he knew, he was forced to bend in half by the intense amount of pain that coursed through his entire body. He wasn’t able to stand anymore even if he tried. He landed on the ground, curling up into himself with his arms wrapped around his body, crying in an ache he didn’t know the reason for.
“Aw, look at you poor little thing being in heat. Makes you all the more desirable.” The third guy said as he crouched down by his side and ran the back of his hand from his face all the way down to his thighs.
Heat? What did the other mean? What was a heat?!
“Hey! Hands off. We should take him to the prince, remember?” Another man slapped the hands that were wandering over his body away and then Insu was lifted up and carried somewhere in their arms without having the resources to argue or question. The pain was driving him crazy and he was sure he was sobbing loud enough for the entire town to hear.
“Your majesty,”
They were in some sort of a giant house. The whole place was covered in shiny decorations. it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, even if his vision was blurry from all the tears.
He was placed on a soft couch before the person who brought him there spoke again. “The omega.”
He could register a low hum in his state: “Leave.”
Steps echoed through the space before his face was lifted by a finger under his chin. Through all the ache and the tears, the wincing and the attempt to go back to curling into himself, he managed to see the face of the man looking down at him.
He was big. Way bigger than Insu, broad with his angry muscles on display as he was shirtless. Short black hair and dark intense eyes eating him up with their gaze, facial expression calm and unreadable.
Insu’s body flinched at the sudden sound of doors opening harshly as someone walked in.
“Namil! Heard we got a new omega in town. Are we partying or what?”
He understood nothing of what they were saying. The heat thing, the word omega, none of it. Insu just knew that he was hurting and from the looks of it, no one seemed to care.
The guy in front of him, without sparing the guest a glance and only staring at him, licked over his lips ever so slowly as a nasty smirk crept up his face.
“Yes, we’re going to have a feast.”
