To say that Namjoon was confused about what was going on was, to put it mildly. He had no idea what he had actually signed up for. He had somehow gotten caught up in hiding Jaebum's planner with BamBam without even knowing how he got here.
The most realistic answer would probably be that he was just in general weak for BamBam, and he never really had much control over what he was doing when it came to the younger omega. The real question was why the two Got7 omegas were acting like this, it made no sense to Namjoon. It was like there was something going on that he didn't know about.
Luckily Jinyoung ended up pulling him to the side only a few hours into the 'game'. Namjoon was worried that he had failed his fellow omegas and had given them away. But mostly Jinyoung just looked like he wanted to sigh. "Do you know what a half is?"
Namjoon felt Jinyoung was being a little insulting of his intelligence and put on his best posh voice. "A half is an equal dividend something, 50 percent, what you have after you cut something over in the middle."
Jinyoung ended up actually sighing at that point. "I know that I know you aren't in first grade, I mean a half heat?"
The taller of the two frowned a little trying to search through his memories to find any mention of half heats, but he came up blank. "No, I don't think so."
"Don't feel too bad about it, very few omegas still get them, and especially in kpop groups where there is, in general, more beta and alphas than omegas. A long, long time ago, half heats were a biological trait that helped omegas get the attention of alphas and betas even when they weren't in heat. It was to help them stay more competitive to who would be bred during a heat." Jinyoung explained with a light smile, and he couldn't stop himself from laughing when he saw Namjoon's features scowl up at the word 'bred'. "I know, bad word choice, but that is what BamBam is having at the moment."
That lead Namjoon to be even more confused. "But you said that it was about attention from both alphas and betas why are they leaving you guys out then?" He started to feel bad, betas were important too!
Jinyoung again just laughed under his breath leaning up to pat Namjoon softly on the hair. "You are really just a softie aren't you? They aren't leaving us out. Youngjae joined them many times in the game, and I have straight up made it known that I want no part in this. Since I can't stand when my things go missing, and I am not whipped enough that I will let them get away with it. I do love them all I really do, but I am not so weak, and I will not let them get away with anything with cute puppy eyes like certain alphas."
Namjoon just stood there for a second thinking over all the information he had just been told trying to digest it. "Mark can't be having his half heat as well, it is way too early, he just had his heat."
"Mark doesn't get half heats, but since it is no longer about competing to get bred, it has more or less turned into a game of getting all the attention. Mark joins in sometimes, neither he nor Youngjae joins in every time. Both of them need time for themselves sometimes. BamBam is probably happy that you are here now so you can hopefully join him since Mark seems to feel it as well." Jinyoung had gone back to chopping vegetables, and while Namjoon wanted to help he knew that he would probably just do more damage than he would help, so he just looked at the beta while he did it.
"Is it really okay that I join them?" He kinda... liked the idea a little. He had no idea why he never before saw himself as somebody who craved people's attention on him.
Then he thought over what Doctor Choi had said to him, he was making up for 4 years of his needs not being met. Maybe it was normal for him to like the idea of having people attention on him! Maybe he didn't have to feel bad about it, maybe he could accept it and be happy about it. Jinyoung seemed to agree with him as he put the knife down to stand in front of Namjoon.
