At night,
The night sky was looked full of stars, as usual, Bai felt his whole body cramping. He parked his car in the parking lot and went upstairs to his apartment which was located in a peaceful neighbourhood. But he only had one complaint that it was far away from where he worked.
He looked for his keys as he stopped in front of his apartment door searching for keys in his backpack. He found many unnecessary things in the magic backpack but the keys weren't anywhere.

The door opened by a tall blonde haired guy almost giving the beta a heat attack. The red eyes observed the scared guy with amusement.
"Nico-las." Bai clinched his chest, wrinkling his white shirt. He breathes heavily before screaming at the guy in his apartment. "You fool."
"Are you coming in or not?" Nicolas asked Bai closing Bai's apartment door on his face.
To which Bai responded by getting in. He removed his shoes turning towards the unwanted guest in his house. Whom which he doesn't remember giving spar keys.
"How did you get in?" Bai eyed Nicolas suspiciously before looking at the opened balcony making Nicolas chuckle at his imagination.
"I didn't use the balcony." Nicolas placed a glass of water in front of Bai as if he was the guest in his house. "So, how about we discuss the ten miss calls?"
"Illegal entry in someone's house is a bigger issue here." Bai raised his voice not touching the glass of water given by the alpha.
"The neighbourhood grandma opened the door for me to wait inside. She was concerned about me standing outside for too long." As Nicolas clear, the misunderstanding Bai felt embarrassed for lashing out. He wasn't the kind to lash out at anyone for no reason but the long shift at the hospital had made him short-tempered.
"I...uh." Bai was unable to come with an excuse, he finally accepted his defeat. "Dating is tiring." He gulped the glass of water in one go before resting his head on the couch smiling at Nicolas. "I really thought you used the balcony for a moment."
Nicolas sighed at the latter's mood changes. He could see why was his brother and Bai were friends?
"Want me to cook something for you?" Nicolas got up from the sofa and left for the kitchen. Bai tag behind him not wanting any explosions in his kitchen.

A few days later, Central hospital.
"You have yet to have your heat." Bai was surprised to see the silver-haired guy's speed recovery but he still felt sceptical due to Chase irregular heart cycle. It wasn't anything new for a recessive omega to have an irregular heat cycle but many health hazards that totes time around." Chase answered his friend's question casually. He was uninterested in any of this matter he found it better if it never came.
It was a headache to go in isolation until it calms down. The distasteful meds didn't even help at all. Not to mention he could just find anyone since the media was on him. He didn't want his reputation to get the effect of a single mistake.
"What have you thought about Charles Zimin, then?"
Chase's expression changed hearing a personal question out of blue. But he recovered soon from the surprise. He smiled a little but Bai feel the fakeness. "Nothing, I am going to see a construction site with him...are you using any perfume, Bai?"
Bai raised his eyebrows not getting where did the question come from? He smells his white coat to check if there was a perfume smell coming from him but there wasn't any. It only created more questions in the doctor's head than what was answered. Chase dodged any more of his questions.
Chase called Ryan as soon as he gets out of Bai's interrogation room. He sighed looking at the bright sky the sun rays felt irritating after being cooped up in the house for too long.
"Sir..." Chase lower his sight to see Ryan inside the car. He opened the door and sat inside not wasting any time he didn't want to get sunburn.
Chase unbuttoned the first button on his shirt wiping the sweat forming on his forehead." Why is the sun in full mood, today?"
Ryan smiled at Chase's weird comment as it was winter season, he didn't point his boss out since he knew how sensitive Chase was to the temperature be it cold or hot. He hated both extremes the same.
Ryan drove them to the construction site that was outside the city. Chase recognised Charles and other employees cars from a distance. As they were in the parking they could hear the loud noises of machines and construction workers.
Before entering both of them wore safety equipment that was required.
"Mr Xavier." Chase shakes the hand of a representative of the Galactica group whom he working on the project from the start.
"Mr Peter it's nice to meet you." Chase wore his professional smile well while interacting with the staff. Even if Chase's personality wasn't much friendly he was good at keeping the facade of friendliness. Unlike Nicolas whom the staff found domineering and cold, they found Chase more reliable and approachable. There were times the facade collapsed like the instance in the GK group's party but people always dismissed it as other parties fault or just Chase having a bad day.
As the conversation with the staff and representatives was ongoing smoothly, he could feel a gaze on him. Chase turned around to see if someone was staring at him. To his surprise, it was the same familiar browned eyed idiot alpha on the first floor of the construction building. Chase smiled at the man but Charles retreated his gaze making the silver-haired form a furrow between his brows. 'The heck with this rude bastard.'
