I opened the front door to my house. Before I set foot inside, I removed my shoes and put them on top of the shoe rack. I wore my house slippers and walked inside to see my mom couching while gripping onto the kitchen counter. She kept griping onto her chest and started to breathe heavily. I dropped my bag onto the ground and rushed over to her. Grabbed her shoulders, leaning down to her face.
"Mom…what's wrong?"
She looked at me and gave me a soft smile, and tried her best to show that she was okay.
"I'm fine…dear, don't worry…"
I saw her face with pain and, her body won't stop trembling. She grabbed hold of my shirt and kept her in balance. I grab hold of her with one hand and pull out a chair for her using the other. I slowly helped her down. I looked at her and muttered in a worried tone.
"Mom…should I call the ambulance?"
When I was about to grab my cellphone from my pants side pocket, she grabbed my arm and shook her head. I looked at her in shock and started to yell at her. She kept holding onto her chest and tried her best to manage a smile again as her grip tighten.
"My medicine…there in my bedroom…"
I nodded and quickly rushed upstairs to her bedroom. I opened the door and went to her nightstand. Grabbed the small bottle that was placed next to the lamp. I ran downstairs and placed two pills next to her.
Grabbed a glass from the kitchen counter, and open the fridge, and poured some water into the glass. I kept it next to her. She sighed and started to drink up her medicine. She placed the glass down. She asked me to sit next to her. I pulled a chair and sat next to her. She kept her cold hands' on top of me and smiled.
"You're a good boy…don't let anyone pull you down…I'm so lucky to have you."
She gently placed her freezing hands near my cheek even though they were cold. It only felt her love and warmth. A smile appeared on my face as I looked at her weak face. I stood up and pulled up my sleeves.
"Today is Ryon Hyun's special!"
She looked up at me and chuckled softly, and her joyful expression faded quickly. She kept her hands in front of her and lowered her head feeling, disappointed in herself.
"I'm so sorry…I made you cook when you just got home…"
I shook my head and started to make the dinner, I said with a soft tone as I started to cut the vegetables.
"I should be thankful mom…you took care of me and gave me everything I wanted…you never showed me how much you were struggling."
She quickly covered her mouth and, her eyes widen up tears started to fill up her eyes as she listened to every word I said. I looked at her and sighed,
"Come on mom let's just have dinner."
She nodded and whipped away her tears.

The sunlight started to shine onto my face through the window as my Alarm started to go off. I whined and ached up. I pushed the snooze button and started to rub the back of my neck. I got off my bed and started to get ready for school. I grabbed my bag and went downstairs. My mom looked at me cheerfully, as usual, she handed over my lunch box. I grabbed a piece of toast and went out of the house after saying goodbye to my mom.
****
I sighed and entered the school building while gripping onto my bag strap. I looked up at the school building before I walked towards the front door. Everyone was chatting and laughing as usual. I walked up to my locker and wore my school shoes and, placed my other shoes inside. When I closed the door, a familiar face was standing next to me. I immediately noticed it was Kyo. He picked up his bag that was on the bench and started to walk off. I quickly grabbed his arm. He looked behind with a slight flinch. I bowed down and apologies for scaring him. He shook his hands while smiling awkwardly.
"It's fine, can I help you?"
My ears dropped. I looked at Kyo in shock, and sadness filled my eyes.
I shook my head and smiled as I felt slightly embarrassed.
"Never mind…forget this ever happened."
He gripped his books tightly and smiled softly. He turned around, looked down, and said with a soft muffle,
"I'm sorry…"
He ran off to his class before I could react to it. I clenched my fist and followed him, going inside the same classroom. The atmosphere was heavy and felt awkward. It was strange even sitting next to him, but I had no choice, so I took a deep breath and sat down. He placed his hands over his lap and lowered his head.
"Is it wrong to be an Omega?"
I looked over at him and rubbed the back of my head, and gave him a comforting smile,
"Of course not. I think it's pretty neat!"
He looked over at me. I could see his eyes sparkle. He smiled with a soft blush across his pale skin. He kept his hands together and closed his eyes happily,
"Thank you, that means a lot."
I looked at him and rubbed the back of my head, laughing softly. I looked at him one more time. I felt happy that we worked this confusion between us. After that, the first bell rang, and everyone got into their seats before the homeroom teacher entered.
****
I stretched my arms and yawned, placing my head on my desk, and started to whine.
"Why is school so boring?!"
Kyo took out his lunch box and placed it on top of his desk. Then he opened it and took out a crust-cut sandwich. He took a small bite from the side. I narrowed my eyes at him and gulped.
He looked over at me and chuckled. He grabbed a sandwich and handed it to me.
"You can always ask."
I looked at the sandwich, shook my hands, and refused to accept it but, he kept forcing me. Then I felt a heavy and dark scent coming from the entrance. My body trembled as I looked at the entrance. My eyes widen to see the same male from last time was walking by with another group of people following him from behind. Kyo looked at my confusion. He got up from his seat and kept his hands in front of him and lean his head down, and looked up at me.
"You looked like you seen a ghost."
I was startled a bit and looked at Kyo and laughed softly,
"It was nothing."
Kyo place his finger near his chin and looked at me curiously,
"don't tell me already forgotten about our student council president, he gave a speech at the entrance exam,"
I started to get lost in my thoughts again,
"So that guy…I think his name is Leon is our student council pres…hm…his sent is fearsome indeed."
Kyo grabbed my arm, making me snap back into reality. Kyo asked me if I was okay but, I shrug. Soon after the last bell of the day rang, everyone got up and bowed down when the teacher existed the classroom. I started to pack my books back into my bag. I looked at Kyo,
"Hey, want to go home together?"
Kyo smiled nervously and bowed down,
"I'm sorry, I have volleyball practices today, maybe another time."
I shook my hands and told him not to apologize. I waved my hand goodbye and left the classroom. I sighed and mumbled softly,
"Maybe I should join a club…?"
I went downstairs to the school exist. I stopped near my locker and changed my shoes. I walked outside, grabbing my phone, plugging in my earbuds, and started to listen to music. Started to walk towards the gate as I bumped into someone. I hissed and held my forehead. I removed my earbuds and looked at the person when I was about to yell at him. He turned around and faced me. His deep cold eyes were piercing into my soul. I start to go speechless. It was him, that guy from Yesterday. He folded his arms and looked at me with a frown. I bowed down and quickly apologized. I couldn't help but sweat and shatter. I heard his name-calling from far, I remember that voice; it was him. The male's ears perk up and turned around to face the other male,
"Yo Leon, do you enjoy holding me back?"
I lifted my head as I made eye contact with those same red eyes again. I quickly bowed my head again. He let out a snarl and growled, feeling annoyed.
"Are you coming or not?"
The lion let out a sigh shrugged and, started to walk past the male,
"you're the one holding me back Ping…?"
He growled and started to follow him as he began to yell at the lion while walking next to him. The other male looked away and stuck his tongue out.
I held my chest and let out a deep sigh, feeling relieved that I didn't get into trouble.

I opened the front door into my house. I looked at the front hallway. I saw my mother lying on the floor in the darkness. I gasped and, my eyes widen as I ran towards her yelling,
"Mom!"
