Clap - 10

“Yes.”

Jaemin’s pupils trembled. So, to summarize, Ihyun seemed to want ‘his own omega.’ An omega he manifested that no one else had touched. But among adult omegas, there seemed to be no omega who hadn’t manifested yet, so it seemed like his dream had not been fulfilled.

It was strange.

Jaemin didn’t know much, but it was definitely strange.

And it was quite scary.

Then, the door opened, and a person with the same face as Ihyun entered. It was Ichan. He was holding a tray. It was neatly arranged with fruits like Tetris – strawberries, oranges, bananas, grapes – in rainbow order.

“So, I was thinking. What if we turn a beta into an omega?”

Ichan continued as if he had been listening to Ihyun and Jaemin’s conversation for a while. A small wireless earphone was in one of his ears. Jaemin rolled his eyes when he noticed it. A black bug was placed on the bedside table.

Ichan handed the tray he brought to Ihyun. Using a fork, Ihyun picked up a strawberry and offered it to Jaemin. Jaemin couldn’t eat it. His body stiffened with a strange current. Then Ihyun gently pressed the strawberry against Jaemin’s lower lip.

Ihyun and Ichan’s gaze was fixed on Jaemin’s plump lips, unmoving.

“As omegas are disappearing these days, in the third world, they are conducting experiments by forcibly injecting hormones into betas to turn them into omegas.”

“So, no matter the age of the beta, they can be turned into omegas, right?”

“And we could manifest that omega ourselves.”

The two spoke as if they were one person, taking turns in their conversation. The slightly different voices were confusing Jaemin’s mind. A ringing sound echoed in his ears.

“But finding a pretty beta male isn’t an easy task.”

“They’re all so ugly, covered in acne, either anchovies or pigs, and dirty on top of that.”

“And then, Jaemin appeared. Lovely Jaemin.”

Ihyun said ‘lovely’ as he touched Jaemin’s cheek. The soft, squishy cheek was so cute. It made him want to take a big bite and chew it carefully. Would it hurt? Would he cry out? Either way, it seemed so lovely that it made his gums tingle.

Ichan took out a long syringe from his pocket. When he removed the needle cap, it gleamed sharply. Jaemin looked at it with an anxious gaze.

“So… you’re going to…”

“Turn me into an omega.”

Ichan pushed the syringe into the ring on Jaemin’s arm. Jaemin, who had been as still as a rock, began to twist his body as if having a seizure.

So, the pills they gave me weren’t supplements. They must have added something to the drink they always gave me. So my body, my body…

The fruit tray floated in the air before crashing to the ground. The blanket was crumpled, and blood flowed along the ring on his hand.

“You crazy, crazy bastards! You lunatics!”

Jaemin’s limbs jerked up. Ihyun and Ichan’s faces contorted. The two easily subdued Jaemin’s rebellion by pressing his shoulders with one arm. It was an immense force. He was so scared that he thought he might die in the bed like this.

“Don’t worry. It will work. We are skilled doctors. Besides dentistry, we have many medical degrees.”

Ihyun said in a gentle voice. Jaemin’s eyes widened. I’m not worried about that! He shook his body with all his might, but he couldn’t possibly overcome the two strong alphas.

The liquid in the syringe seeped into the ring. It flowed towards Jaemin like a slippery snake. The drug coursing through his veins was potent. Jaemin took a deep breath. His heart thudded, then surged to his temples.

Again. That feeling again.

A heat that made his body boil, the sound of his heart pounding in his ears, a churning stomach. And the thick fog of Ihyun and Ichan’s perfume scent seeping in. Perhaps it wasn’t a perfume scent, but the pheromones he had only heard of.

“My body, it’s… hot.”
