Use Me Like A Drug (omegaverse bl)-Chapter 253: Apologies

Three days ago.

Jaehyun’s POV

Yujun is knocked out exhausted.

The omega is laying on his back, snoring gently as he sleeps, my omega will always be the most beautiful to me.

He is my favorite art, I could die looking at him and I would brag to all the angels and demons that I lived a perfect life, only men with perfect lives deserves him.

His chest rises and falls with each breath he takes, and I run my fingers through his hair, the soft strands of white hair always feel perfect to the touch and I kiss his cheek, not wanting to wake him up.

Yujun’s breath hitches and I freeze.

Fuck did I wake him already?

The omega presses his lips together in his sleep and I see a frown crease his perfect brows and he lets out a small sigh.

"Mom" he mutters in his sleep and I sit up, worried that he is stuck in a nightmare.

"Yujun?" I whisper his name and try to make him wake up, but he doesn’t wake, still exhausted from his busy day yesterday, "baby?" I call again and he opens his eyes.

He stares blankly at the ceiling for a few seconds before blinking, "yes?" he asks with a voice that is thick with sleep, and I brush his hair out of his eyes, fascinated with the deep brown of his eyes.

"Are you okay?" I ask softly and he hums, snuggling into the sheets even more to sleep better, "I’m so tired" he says, his word comes out slurred and he looks so fucking cute, "let me sleep" he says.

It seems like he can’t even remember his dream, and it would be stupid of me try making him remember, so I pet his head instead.

"It’s okay, you can sleep" I say as I make up my mind to visit the Choi estate.

I know Yujun doesn’t have a good relationship with his mother, but if he’s dreaming about her, then he needs to connect with her at least once.

"Ah, seriously" I complain and I dress up, I have been planning the wedding with my mother all week, today was supposed to be my rest day, but here I am.

The things I do for love.

I knock on the door of the Choi home and get no response, I knock again, this time around the door is yanked open and I am greeted by the face of an angry Mrs. Choi.

"I am not leaving this house...oh" she says but shuts up when she sees me.

Intrigued by her mindset, I tilt my head at her, "your son got judged by the council, your daughter disowned you and your husband is in prison and you’re worried about...a house" I say, looking around the fancy house.

"No...it’s...uh the house is very important for..." the selfish woman says and places her hand on her mouth when she can’t come up with anything meaningful to say.

"Wow...something is really wrong with you Chois" I growl and she covers her face, "guilt has been killing me, but what can I do? This house is all I have left" she says.

I can’t help the pure disgust I feel for her, in this mess, she’s only scrambling for a house...the house that ruined her children.

"You have two days to decide, give the house back to Yujun and attend our wedding to say goodbye or keep the house and stay away" I say simply and hand the envelope over to her.

Now she will have something to think about that isn’t a fucking torture house.

The wedding

Yujun’s POV

I keep watching my mom clap with clan members as Jaehyun and I complete the wedding process.

My heart feels heavy as I look at her, she looks like she hasn’t had decent sleep in some days, it feels sad.

Mom’s small hands are pressed to her chest, and she’s holding a small clutch purse that I haven’t seen before, she looks different, dressed in the simplest dress I have ever seen on her before.

She has her greying hair in a bun, and she stares at the altar where I’m standing longingly.

Jaehyun places his hand on my waist and helps me down the small stairs, the alpha’s touch feels grounding as he holds me, "I don’t know why she’s here" I say, keeping head straight.

"I invited her" Jaehyun leans in to whisper in my ear, and I look up at him, "why?" I ask quietly, I’m not angry...if anything, I’m glad she’s here and I look forward to closing this page before I start my new life.

"Just because..." my mate says and he looks like he thought it through.

"You deserve all the happiness" he adds and I nod, I walk carefully as he steers me in mom’s direction.

The woman looks like she feels out of place as she watches us approach her, she plasters a wobbly smile on her face and the closer we get to her, the more I see how tired she is.

Her eyes look red around the iris, and she puts her hands down, when I finally get to where she is, she opens them like she wants to give me a hug.

One part of me wants to step away from her, while another part of me just wants to feel my mom’s hug, to enjoy my wedding day with her.

"Son..." she whispers like she’s praying, and I move closer enough to hug her.

"Hi mom" I say softly and she relaxes slightly.

"I’m sorry for everything" she says, holding me tight, "I’m sorry for being so selfish" she says the word with a broken voice, and I pull back enough to look at her.

Is this real?

"I just- I wanted to tell you and Yunah that I’m sorry for disappointing you babies" she says and holds my hands; my chest tightens a fraction as she squeezes them gently before sighing.

"Mom...I forgive you, I am not mad at you" I say and squeeze her own hands back, she diverts her eyes from me, "the guilt is eating me" she says, "I’m just glad you are fine now" my mom lifts my hands and presses a kiss on them.

She looks up at Jaehyun, "thank you for letting me come here" then she turns back to me, "Yujun-ah, I will be moving back to my father’s clan" she says and I feel a bit of relief.

It is safe there and she would be comfortable.

"Mom...why don’t you stay and keep the house?" I ask, knowing how much she loves the place.

"I can’t, that is the place I sacrificed my children for luxury, I can’t stay there anymore" she says and my heart hurts for her.

I never imagined mom would see that she has made a big mistake, I never thought she would come to a point of admitting her mistakes, it feels relieving.

"Call me if you ever need anything, okay mom?" I say and she nods, wearing a watery smile.

"Can I see Yunah once?" she asks, "yes, you can meet Yunah and Haeri" I say and give Jaehyun a nod, the alpha leaves us and once he is gone, awkwardness settles over us as I begin to toy with lace of my cloth.

"You look beautiful" mom says and I drop my hands to my side.

"Do you really want to go?" I ask and she dabs her handkerchief under her eyes to wipe away tears, "Yes, I really need to reflect on my actions" she says.

"Oh" Yunah voice says behind me, and she stands at a distance, "Yunah-yah" mom calls softly and Yunah only steps back, holding Haeri close to her body.

"I am only here to apologize" mom says.

"I don’t want your apology" Yunah snarls and I turn to her, "Yunah...mom is the only family we have left that is willing to apologize" I say to the young omega and she pouts, "but-" she starts but goes silent.

"Fine, I forgive you, but you are no longer my mom" Yunah says and mom places her hands on her chest, "I understand, your forgiveness means the world to me" our mom says and Yunah nods stiffly.

"This must be Haeri" mom says and just in time, Yeon mom calls out from a distance, "Yunah, it’s time to feed Haeri"

Mom’s face shows a flicker of regret as Yunah calls back, "yes mom", but she doesn’t say a word.

My sister leaves with my daughter and mom gives a bow, "thank you for inviting me, I’ll leave now, congratulations Yujun" she says and leaves.

As she leaves, I feel a weight getting off me, no more pain and no regret...just a new start.

"Shall we?" Jaehyun asks and as I nod, the alpha leads us back to the party, some clan members are hurdled together laughing and eating pastries, others are dancing to Seventeen’s Rock With You.

Gawon is standing next to Yunah and staring at her like the omega hung the moon for her, Yeon is leaning against his husband, they are having a cozy conversation as Haeri feeds from her bottle on his lap.

"You really did these for me" I say and Jaehyun hugs me.

"And I will do more, I adore you, my husband" he says and I feel heat creep up my cheeks, I am a husband and I have a husband, I never imagined this for myself.

"Everyone is busy with each other" I note and Jaehyun hums, "hmm...you want to run from your own wedding?" he asks and I hold his hand pulling him to the main building.
