My Dawn Within the Gloom

C6: Friends or a sibling

Wol Ryeong followed Taekyun and the doctor to Yule's room with his fingers tracing his lips. Just by that one kiss, although he was angry, the taste of Taekyun's mouth was intriguing, it tasted of a flavour he couldn't make out and now he wanted more – but he is a man, an Omega male at that.

They arrived at the door and the nurse opened for them, "Mama~" Yule squealed as he rushed to Taekyun who knelt down and opened his arms for Yule to run into. "Hey my Sae Dum, how are you doing?"

Yule looked over his mama's shoulder at the man staring at him with wide eyes. Squeezing Taekyun tighter around the neck, Yule complained with a groan as he stared Wol Ryeong down, with judgemental eyes, "Mmmn, I'm fine, just missed you. Where did you go?"

Taekyun pulled away and picked Yule up on to his side, turning around, he faced the two together and said, "Ma went to fetch this uncle, he might be able to help us."

Yule wiggled out of his mama's arms and walked up to Wol Ryeong, holding his hand out he said with a forced smile on his face, "I'm Park Yul Ryeong, thank you for helping my mother and I during this tough time, I am unable to pay you back right now, but I will in the future."

Wol Ryeong's eyes watered up. A sharp pierce hit through his heart. Wol Ryeong couldn't look at Yule any longer and looked up at Taekyun. He saw a smile playing on Taekyun's lips and was confused. Looking back at Yule he gulped and held Yule's hand gently, smiling he said, "It's my honour meeting you. I'm Rong Wol Ryeong and you don't need to worry about paying me back. If I knew about you and your condition, I would have rushed to your side long before today."

Yule looked up at Wol Ryeong confused, "Not only do we have similar names and looks but your words..."

"Ah Yule, wait, let me explain," Taekyun jumped in and pulled his son to him and set him on the bed. He pulled Wol Ryeong to sit down to sit on the chair and told him to keep quiet, "Moon star, what did you do?" Yule asked him confused.

Taekyun sat down beside him and gazed at the doctor, "Can the two of you give us some time?" The doctor was confused but Soo Eun nodded and quickly dragged the doctor out.

Looking down at his son, Taekyun hugged him into his side and said while looking down at him, "Baby, remember how I told you that one day you'll be able to meet your father?" Yule looked up at his mama and nodded. His eyes slowly moved over to Wol Ryeong and saw that he had his eyes trained on the tiled floor.

"This man is not your uncle but your father," Taekyun said and felt his son stiffen in his arms. It took a while for Yule to process it and the room was silent for some time. Wol Ryeong scratched his head, he wasn't sure what to say.

Looking up at Taekyun, he saw that he too was at a loss for words. Moments later Yule asked, "Why have you come now? Where have you been all this time?" Referring his question to his father.

"Baby listen," Taekyun interrupted as he saw how angry Yule suddenly got and sat up, "Your father and I went to the same high school and so baby, you know how people don't see mama as a good person? Your father and I..."

"Taekyun don't lie to him," Wol Ryeong interrupted. Taekyun's eyes widened then his postured deflated. Yule was surprised, Wol Ryeong turned to him, "Yul Ryeong, do you understand the three different sub-gender's?"

Yule nodded his head, "Besides male and female, there are Alpha, Beta and Omega." Wol Ryeong smiled, "The Omega sub-gender is also divided into two, male and female. Society sees Omega's as something that would stain anything they touch and are prejudice against. I, as an Alpha was also taught this and grew up hating Omega's." Wol Ryeong sighed as he tried to not look at Taekyun as he heard his sniffling but continued, "Omega's and Alpha's naturally are attracted to each other because of the pheromones that are released from their bodies. In high school, I did not know who your mama was until I decided to skip class because I was tired. I thought I could go to one of the classes that weren't being used and sleep in it for the time being but I was mistaken. Your mama was in his heat cycle and released his pheromones in this secluded place thinking he would be safe until it settled but I was there and my Alpha instincts took over me and I ended up forcing myself on your mama when I found him. When I finally came back to my senses I threatened your mama to not say anything about what happened because I didn't want to be laughed at and when I returned to school I heard that your mama disappeared and won't be returning."
