Chapter 3 - Chapter 2 – Claims and Tensions

Hoseok woke the next morning with a strange mix of excitement and dread. The memory of six possessive gazes burned in his mind, lingering even as he tried to eat breakfast in peace. Somehow, the quiet Beta life he had always known was gone, replaced by… chaos. Beautiful, overwhelming chaos.

He hadn't even left his apartment when he realized: the Alphas and Omegas weren't just interested—they were territorial.

RM had texted first. "Meet me at the studio later. Don't be late. I want to talk."

Suga's message came a minute later. "I don't like waiting. You're mine too, Hoseok. Don't forget it."

Jungkook? "I'm coming over. You can't hide from me."

And then the Omegas:

Jimin sent a selfie, leaning close, his caption: "Can't wait to see you later… mine."

V left a voice note, soft but insistent: "I hope you're ready to be spoiled today."

Jin texted calmly: "I'll pick you up. Don't make me wait."

Hoseok's phone buzzed nonstop. His chest tightened. This was… too much. And yet, beneath the panic, a warmth spread across his chest. They all wanted him. All of them.

He tried to focus on work, but every sound, every notification, made his heart leap. The Beta in him wanted to retreat, to hide. But something in him—the warmth he radiated, the care he naturally gave—kept drawing them closer.

By midday, Jungkook was at his door, hands on the frame. "You look like you need a reminder," he said, voice low and intense. He leaned closer, and Hoseok's breath hitched. "I claimed you first."

Before Hoseok could respond, RM appeared in the hallway, calm but commanding. "I think I'd like a word too. You belong with me, Hoseok. Don't forget that."

Then Suga, leaning against the wall like he'd materialized from nowhere: "I'll handle things my way. Subtlety isn't my thing."

And the Omegas weren't far behind. Jimin tugged at Hoseok's sleeve, V brushed a hand lightly across his shoulder, Jin simply rested a hand over his, anchoring him.

Hoseok stepped back, overwhelmed. "W-wait! All of you… stop—"

"Stop?" Jimin giggled, voice teasing but firm. "We're not going anywhere."

"You're ours," V said softly, but the possessiveness in his tone made Hoseok shiver.

Hoseok looked from RM's sharp gaze to Jungkook's intensity, from Suga's cold but unwavering stare to the gentle, persistent ownership of the Omegas. He swallowed, heart pounding.

"I… I don't know how to—"

"You don't need to," RM interrupted gently, reaching for his hand. "Just feel. Let us show you."

"And remember," Suga said, stepping closer, "I don't let go."

Jungkook grinned, leaning so close Hoseok could feel the heat radiating off him. "Neither do I."

Hoseok felt his knees weaken. The Beta in him had always believed he was ordinary, overlooked, easy to forget. But in that moment, surrounded by six people who wanted him completely, he realized… he wasn't ordinary. He was wanted. Fiercely, fully, possessively wanted.

And deep down, the Beta part of him thrilled at the thought.

Even if it scared him.

Because being theirs… was everything he never knew he needed.
