DESTINED MATE : SWEET ALPHA PHEROMONE

I stopped by the supermarket with George before back home, I bought some necessities for the boy. In addition to pajamas, the boy needs toiletries too. He can already talk although sometimes the seizures and falling asleep in the middle of a conversation are still happened.

Yesterday he looks even more cheerful just looking at the sunshine from his bed, he said he loved to look at it. And I just found out that he was always locked up in Madam Rose's place, the cramped room. A confined space.

And, he did not recognize me. Yeah, I only met him once when I came to Gil's house to collect payment. The boy, indeed, never came out of the room that Gil had designed for him.

"Boss, you bought these things for the boy?" George asked, I nodded, we continued to walk down the supermarket aisle looking for things that he would need.

"His current shape are still very bad for us to use him." I said then.

"I heard that he was mistreated by many clients when he was in the embroidery house." George said as he pushed the shopping cart.

"Well, his condition was really terrible when I found him with Shin." 

"Also, I heard he is much more beautiful than in the pic we saw?"

I was speechless to hear George ask such a question, judging by what I see, he is the most beautiful Omega I have ever seen. With his beautiful and flowing hair, but his eyes are so sharp. He looks weak but there is also such a cautious vibes.

"You can see him by yourself later." I said to George.

We walked down each aisle and up the fruits aisle, I saw there were a lot of oranges and picked up one that said TANGERINES. I smell it.

Ah, is this what my pheromone smells like? It smells so sweet.

I ended up buying a lot of tangerines that day.

Every day I took the time to come to Shiloh's room just to watch him fall asleep. He has a sweet face when sleeping, his eyelashes are so long. I clipped his nails during the day when he took a nap or just help him comb his long hair.

"You...Uh, stink.." It was a phrase he said when I just got home from work and forgot to shower before going to his room. He looked puzzled.

"Huh? Stink?" I sniffed my hands and also my armpits, a little surprised by his words.

"You smell like a blood," He said.

I was stunned for a while and laughed, "It's not blood, steel and blood have the same smell." I tried to give an excuse, my foot took a step back from where he was sitting.

"Ah, you lift some steel at your workplace?" He asked confused, I just laughed before leaving his room.

After that, I always take a shower before I go home.

"You brought the boy to your house?!" Cross asked with a surprised face, we were eating with Joshua too. Every Friday in the second week of the month, we usually take the time to eat together and talk about work, this was done a long time ago.

Because of our jobs, we rarely speak as a family. Usually we speak only as superiors and subordinates in everyday life. That's why Father asked us to meet like this once a month.

I took a piece of meat and gave it to Joshua who was eat with his phone on, watching some kids video. Cross was always scolding him but he always didn't care. I feel like we are more like his parents than his older brothers. Well, our age difference is quite extreme.

"Are you crazy?! Why did you interfere with bringing the boy into your house?!" Cross is still babbling.

"I want to tell you guys now, Andrew suggested it that way."

Cross and Joshua looked at me at the same time when I mentioned Andrew's name. It's because Andrew is the family doctor who knows about my illness.

"That kid, his body has a rejection reaction to the Alpha pheromones, but not me."

"What?!" Cross was again the most hysterical among us.

"Andrew said the boy could be used as an specimen to solve my illness." I finished the explanation.

Cross wiped his greasy mouth with a handkerchief on the table and looked at me.

"He didn't react at all? Isn't he the dominant Omega? You sure he's not a recessive Omega?" He drilled me with a few questions.

I shook my head, "He really is the dominant Omega, Andrew drawn his blood and check it. That's why Andrew was interested, the boy didn't react when he smelled my pheromone. Also…" I stopped my sentence, looking at my two brothers in turn.

They waited patiently for me to continue.

"He said my pheromones smell like a sweet tangerine."

There was a short silence before laughter burst out at the table, I was surprised, looked around. Fortunately, the floor of this restaurant has been booked by us, so there was no customer beside us.

"Don't be funny! You? Smells of sweet tangerine?!" Cross laughed loudly until I could see the end of his throat. Moron.

Joshua chuckled too, he turned off the video he was watching on his phone.

"I don't know! He said that to me, jerk!" I tried to defend myself.

"Gruvv, isn't he just flirting?" Joshua asked as he drank the orange juice in the glass, "He knows that he is the guarantor for his dad's debt, wouldn't it make more sense for him to say that to flirt?"

I paused for a moment and shook my head, "I haven't said anything to him yet."

Cross and Joshua looked at me confused.

"He's only been conscious for a few days now, a week ago he was still on drugs, he's awake but not fully conscious. Yesterday I mentioned his dad's name and he had a seizure again, the doctor who treated him said he was probably stressed."

I could see Cross and Joshua's faces changing, they were more serious than before.

"I don't think you need to deal with him. Do as your original plan." Cross said it clearly, he put the chopsticks on the table and looked at me intently.

Joshua didn't say anything, he lowered his head and silently chewed on the meat he had.

"But this is my chance to find out about my illness."

Cross looked uncomfortable, "What we're thinking about now is Gil's debt repayment, we shouldn't interfere in that boy's affairs. You have to sell him now."

I grabbed my chopsticks, "You and Dad were both noisy about me not being able to get married and blame my illness, but now when there is someone who can accept me and can be an specimen to find out more about it you don't like about the idea."

"Listen Gruvv, that boy is not in stable condition. What if something happens to him? We have to sell him to get the money his dad borrowed from us." Cross explained to me, he then said that if anything ever happened to the boy he didn't want it to be an opportunity for Gil to sue them or even do anything else that could make the company is in a difficult position.

"We can still sell Gil's assets to pay off the debts, and I can pay the boy when he become an specimen for my illness. He just needs to pay the interest after all."

Cross sighed, he looked at me sharply and he knitted one's brows to frown, "Don't make a joke. It's not funny anymore, you know Gil's assets won't cover his debts. Why are we looking for his son when Gil's assets can cover all his debts? It will not work."

Cross's words are true. We've checked all the assets Gil has, but even half of his debt won't be covered.

But I'm already pissed, I got out of my chair, leaving Cross and Joshua. Cross calling my name a few times, I ignored him. I don't want to hear anything, it's the first time I've met someone who doesn't even find my pheromones annoying.

Cross reaction are too much.

It doesn't mean I'm going to marry that kid anyway. Damn it.
