Minsung/Hanknow Omegaverse AU — Minho as an Omega (28) and Jisung as his Alpha (27)!

—

Lee Minho had always hated himself for being born an omega.

It wasn't that he hated being an omega itself. He hated everything the world had decided that word was supposed to mean.

Weak. Fragile. Submissive.

Those were the words people used whenever they spoke about omegas, as if they were facts written into nature rather than expectations forced upon them by society. From the moment Minho had entered secondary school, he'd been taught that alphas were naturally stronger and therefore deserved obedience. Omegas were supposed to be gentle, accommodating, and dependent. They were expected to lower their eyes when an alpha spoke, to tolerate unwanted attention, and to accept that their lives would always be shaped by someone else's instincts.

Minho despised every second of it.

He had spent years fighting against the idea that being an omega made him inferior.

He exercised regularly, learned how to defend himself, worked hard at his job, and refused to let anyone treat him like he was helpless. But no matter how independent he became, there was one thing he could never completely escape: his biology.

He needed suppressants.

During his heats, his body betrayed him with painful symptoms that could become dangerous if left unmanaged. He had to keep medication in his apartment, his workplace, and even in the small bag he carried everywhere. He also used specially formulated perfumes designed to cover his natural scent. Without them, his pheromones could attract unwanted attention from alphas, and Minho had no intention of becoming someone's target simply because of something he couldn't control.

He hated the constant vigilance.

He hated checking his scent before leaving home.

He hated calculating when his next heat might come.

Most of all, he hated the way some alphas looked at him when they realized he was an omega.

It made him feel like an object rather than a person.

Then he met Han Jisung.
