World 1.12

Yang woke up to the pungent smell of hospital disinfectant, invading his nostrils. The room was silent apart from his breathing. He slowly opened his eyes, squinting in an attempt to sharpen the blurred images before him. He glanced around and took in the deserted, blue and white color schemed hospital bedroom.

"How long have I been here?" Yang shut his eyes, trying to remember what had exactly happened. Then it all hit him with a bang. The memory of it all starts to occupy his thoughts.

{Author? Are you there? What's my condition right now?}

AUTHOR: You've been here for 3 days, after you collapsed right in front of the vending machine, Jihoon called for help.

{Then, Where's Jihoon?}

AUTHOR: He went home of course! The sun was just rising, it's morning idiot!

{You really don't care about me ehh? Calling me 'idiot' the moment I opened my eyes from a 3 days coma?}

The door slowly opened, a middle-aged woman entered the room, Yang immediately recognized her face. She was Yebin, one of their maids at home. "Young master, I bought you some change of clothes and the fruits that you like" the woman put the basket she was carrying on the table beside his bed "Thank you Miss Yebin" Yang said politely.

After Yebin left, the Alpha let himself roam around his chamber, he was in a private room. It was decorated in colors designed to be restful. Cold, institutional tile floor. Window that looks out on a beautiful landscape. Yang took the clothes on the table to take a bath.

"Oh! Jihoon? You're here?" he was surprised when he came out of the bathroom, he saw Jihoon standing by the window. "H-How a-are y-y-you? '' the omega asked in a timid voice as he was fidgeting his fingers.

"I did not expect you to come early? I'm sorry for bothering you the other---.." He was stunned for a second when the warm embrace from the omega enveloped his body. It was a comforting hug like he could sense how worried Jihoon was.

"D-Daewon.. d-don't l-lea---" this time it was Yang who cut the omega's words, he cupped his cheeks ``Jihoon, I'm not going anywhere, aren't you a bit paranoid?" Then he smiled and hugged the male again.

Three knocks were suddenly heard on the door so they let go of each other's body, a man with eyeglasses wearing a white long hospital coat entered the room "Uhm.. Mr. Daewon Wong? the patient.. I am Doctor Kim Wun, I will be the one taking care of your health" he said reaching out his hand "Nice to meet you Dr. Wun, I will be putting my health in your hands" . They shake their hands.

"As you can see Mr. Wong, I've already done some tests from your body yesterday, should we proceed inside my office or should I just say the results here?" Doctor Wun glanced at Jihoon and then to Yang again, the Alpha got what he was trying to say so he faced the omega and said "Jihoon, you wait me here" he said but the male grabbed onto his shirt with his shaking hands.

"I'll be fine, just stay here.." he touched Jihoon's hand and lightly pressed it "I'll be back"

Jihoon was left in the room, he sighs and then sits on the bed. It was not the first time he encountered a moment like this, his father normally collapsed in front of him but Yang's case was different. Yang was always there to cheer him up, he was always there to help and rescue him, but this time he felt like he can't do anything for the Alpha. At least he wanted to let Yang know that he is also there whenever he needs care and comfort.

Yang went to the office with the doctor, he sat on one of those chairs beside the desk while Dr. Wun was busy scanning his drawers. He then found what he was looking, he took out the white folder and then put it on the desk in front of Yang "Mister Wong, according to your physical tests, you need to undergo an operation.." he stated

{Ehhh?? What?! operation?}

"Mister Wong? Are you listening?" Doctor was waving his hand in Yang's face

"Y-Yes doctor I'm listening.." he suddenly blabbed out

"As I was saying Mr. Wong, you need to undergo an operation, we need to do it as long as possible" the doctor again said as he adjust his glasses

"What do you mean as long as possible Doctor Wun?" Yang asked again scratching the back of his head

"We need to schedule the operation immediately, your parents called me yesterday and they agreed about it.. I'm just telling you" he stood up and then organized the open folders on the desk "We will schedule the operation one month from now, I will give you a proper guidance before the operation day so Mr. Wong please cooperate with me" Doctor Wun added, even though he's at his middle-aged you can see the passion on his eyes as a doctor.

Yang took some notes and medicines before stepping out of the office. The doctor gave him permission to go home since his physical condition is okay now but told him to take care of himself before the operation. He saw Jihoon waiting at the door, he was dozing.

Yang slightly shakes his shoulders "Jihoon, I'm here.. Did you wait too long? I'm sorry" he said in a gentle voice, the male nodded.

"I-I have to go to s-s-chool, I just waited f-for you to let y-you know" Jihoon was stuttering but he still managed to clearly say all the words, Yang was stunned, It was the longest sentence Jihoon have said "Then why don't you come with me? let's go together" he pulled the omega by the wrist before he could hesitate.

They went to school together although it's a bit late already, the teachers considered it when they heard about Yang's condition. So since Yang was excused today, Jihoon went to school alone.

He hurriedly went back to his car at the front gate. As he entered his car he noticed a small piece of paper on the passenger seat. "What is this?" he uttered

Yang slowly opened the folded paper, he was staggered for a second after reading the title of some- like the list written on paper, "THINGS I WANT TO DO WITH DAEWON' it said.

{Author! Look what I've found}

AUTHOR: Is that what Jihoon seems to be writing the other day?

{ I guess, but why would he leave it in the car? or maybe he left it on purpose?}

AUTHOR: He can just give it to you, wait! and why would he give you that in the first place?

{Should I give it back? but why would he write something like this? You know it's embarrassing }

AUTHOR: That's why he's hiding it from you, stupid!

Yang went home with a smile on his face, he was still holding the piece of folded paper until he reached his room. As usual he sank his body on the soft bed and then faced the ceiling.

He raised his hand, the one holding the paper. He opened it in the air and then let his eyes read the letters.

'THINGS I WANT TO DO WITH DAEWON'

1. Want to visit the ocean with him

2. Want to walk with him from school everyday

3. Want to eat lunch together

4. Want to go to the arcade with him

5. Want to do stargazing with him

6. I want to hold his hands, it's warm

7. I want to receive a letter from him

8. I want to play a game console with him

9. Want to have a picnic with him

10. Want to watch a home movie with him

11. I want to tell him one thing

{Oh! only 11? Will he add more? Is there another list?}

Yang lifted his upper body and then he stood up from the bed, he took his bag and then let his hand scan the things inside.

AUTHOR: What the hell are you doing?

{ You know, the name Daewon really suits me but at least let me use my name in this one}

He then took his pen out and then erased the DAEWON and replace it with YANG instead "Perfect!" he exclaimed

AUTHOR: Dang! you're so childish, it's just a name

{ Shut up! }

AUTHOR: Don't forget that you are not 'Yang' in this world, you're just playing 'Daewon Wong's character

{ I know, Just let me do this one}

'LOVE METER RAISED TO 63%'

Yang was stunned after hearing the system "Ehh? What happened?" he mumbled

AUTHOR: Maybe he's thinking of you right now because you took the paper

{Really?! Just the paper? you're always against me! Are you really helping me?}

Suddenly, the hologram showed up again, It's flashing red like an emergency

'ALERT! ALERT! ALPHA'S RUT IS COMING,BE PREPARED'

And then it disappeared, leaving Yang's jaw open.

{W-Wait! What is this Alpha Rut?!}

AUTHOR: You're going to be in heat, Don't forget to use protection

{W-WHAT??!!!!}
