Chapter 44 - 43
44 Chapter 43
THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW:
Upon arriving at the location for the photoshoot, Mikael felt weird. He doesn't know why, but he somehow felt that something bad was gonna happen today. As if the news about his scandal wasn't already bad, he couldn't think of anything worse aside from Cathy Sparks fawning over him during the whole shoot.
The four members got off the van and they became the center of attention right away as soon as they set foot on the hard concrete ground.
Everybody's eyes were on them. The visuals of these four men were certainly a sight to behold. Everybody held their breaths as if they forgot how to breathe.
Not minding the stares of the people they pass by, Mikael walked with a straight face while the others showed a friendly smile to the crowd. Mikael couldn't bring himself to smile because he's had a bad morning. Imagine waking up just to find yourself in a dating scandal that you never even wanted in the first place. Plus, he knew he couldn't do anything about it unless their entertainment agency would help him clear things up, but that was unlikely to happen. Being in a dating scandal with THE Cathy Sparks was a great honor. She's the Madonna of the country and her beauty knows no bounds. Who in the right mind would even dare to reject her?
Meanwhile, Daryl and Justin were busy talking with the clothing line's CEO, Miss Diana Chen. She was explaining how things are going to be today but she hasn't told them who's going to be in the photoshoot yet. She wanted to surprise her youngest brother to at least make him feel a bit better after his breakup with that trashy alpha, Andre.
"Aren't you wondering who's going to be in this shoot?" She gave a meaningful smile to them as if anticipating an excited response from them. Daryl just looked at her sister emotionlessly. "If it wasn't for Justin, I wouldn't be here right now. Do I look like I care?" He said as he kept his poker face.
Diana felt a bit hurt hearing her brother's words but she just shrugged it off. She knows what Daryl had to go through to get to where he is right now and she knew how much he's struggling even more because of his recent breakup. She couldn't dare to think ill about her sweet brother.
Ever since they were young, their parents' attention were always on Daryl's older siblings, including Diana. They were given everything they wanted. They excelled at everything and Daryl was no different. But because of the boundary that was created by society, Daryl was treated as the black sheep of their family solely because he was an omega, while his older siblings were treated as if they were royalties because they were all alphas. He was shamed for something that he doesn't even have control over.
Of course, Diana knew about that, which is why she's doing everything she can to show that Daryl is still loved even though he speaks rudely to her sometimes.
Diana laughed. "Fine, I won't let you guess," she said as she heard people screaming as if they're in a concert. She immediately knew that they've already arrived.
As the four men walked confidently, emitting a different kind of aura, Daryl and Justin turned to their direction to see what the commotion was all about.
As soon as Mikael saw Daryl, he felt his body turn cold and he felt his stomach turning upside-down. He felt nervous upon seeing him again. A few minutes ago, he was just thinking about Daryl and now, he actual showed up in front of him. He didn't know how to act. He thought that he has to maintain his composure and not act stupid in front of him.
"Oh, Genesis?" Daryl said as he looked at them. "Cool," he continued and turned to Justin. "Are you hungry?" He asked his best friend. Justin just sighed helplessly.
'We came here to cheer him up, but he doesn't even care in the slightest at all,' Justin thought to himself, defeated.
"Dar, you like Genesis, right?" Justin whispered as he looked at the group of beautiful men standing near them. "I told you, not anymore," Daryl said and sighed.
It was obvious that the four men heard what they were talking about, but they didn't mind them and they didn't even bother to look at the two omegas talking about them. It wasn't uncommon for people to talk about them so what Daryl said didn't really bother them.
Well, at least that applied to the other three, but Mikael thought differently. He found it strange that he wanted to look good in front of Daryl. He even started becoming conscious about what he was wearing because he just picked his clothes without even thinking about looking good. He didn't bother dressing up because he knew that he was still gonna change his clothes once he arrives at the location for the shoot.
The three men noticed that Mikael kept glancing in the direction where the omegas were at, so they felt curious and looked at them, too.
As if they were bewitched, Harvey and Kyle couldn't take their eyes off them. Just by looking at them, they could immediately tell that both of them were omegas. The sight of two male omegas was something to behold. Male omegas were so rare and were said to be so beautiful, but they never thought that their beauty would be to this extent.
Even though the two of them were betas, it wasn't shocking that they felt attracted to them even if they were men. However, what was weird was Jay's indifference toward them despite him being an alpha.
"Harvey, Kyle."
The two of them flinched, hearing the tone of Mikael's voice. He was emitting a dangerous aura around him and the way he looked at them seemed like he was murdering the betas in his mind. Jay paid no attention to them and just decided to talk to Diana.
Harvey and Kyle looked away from the omegas and started awkwardly talking to each other just to avoid Mikael's piercing gaze.
'Which one is the person that Mikael likes?' Harvey thought to himself as he glanced at Daryl and Justin.
Both of them were undeniably beautiful, and there was no way he could tell which omega Mikael likes because he doesn't even know his type in the first place.
19:37
Both of them were undeniably beautiful, and there was no way he could tell which omega Mikael likes because he doesn't even know his type in the first place.
He made up a conclusion in his mind that the person that Mikael likes is the omega who has jet black hair and icy blue eyes. He was actually just concluding it based on his type, but little did he know that the other omega was actually the person Mikael has set his eyes on.
Mikael swallowed hard as he gained the courage to walk up to Daryl. "Hi, we meet again," he said as he approached them. "Ah, yes. Thank you for the handkerchief last time. I don't have it with me right now so I can't give it ba---" Daryl was cut off when Mikael spoke again. "No. There's no need. I already gave it to you," he said and gave a gentle smile.
Justin, who was watching the two of them converse with each other, sensed that the man who was speaking with his best friend must have feelings for Daryl. Mostly, people wouldn't really ignore his presence like that even if Daryl was with him and vice versa. However, this time, Mikael treated Justin as if he wasn't there at all.
Diana noticed the mood between them and called Justin to avoid disturbing the two.
"There's something, right?" Diana whispered to him and giggled. "I think so, too," Justin whispered back and giggled, too.
"There really is something."
Justin flinched when he heard someone speak from behind him. The man smiled and extended his arm for a handshake. "Harvey Collins," he introduced himself. Justin took his hand and shook it. "Justin Alvarez."
Justin and Diana weren't the only ones who sensed that Mikael likes Daryl. The other members of the group realized it, too. Harvey knew he was wrong to think that Mikael likes Justin when he saw how Mikael totally ignored him.
"That's Jay and this is Kyle," Harvey said as he looked at his friends one by one as he said their names.
"Nice to meet ya!" Kyle said and winked at Justin. "Stop that, Kyle," Jay said as he glared at his friend. Kyle raised his brow, as if questioning him why he was acting like that, but Jay couldn't say the reason in front of Justin so he just shook his head.
Being an alpha, he knew that Justin already has an alpha. Although the smell was faint, it was obvious how territorial his alpha was because it looked like the scent of his pheromones weren't going to brush off easily from Justin's clothes.
"Hey, guys!"
Everybody looked to the direction where the high pitched voice came from.
"Cathy."
