Held Without Claim
Prologue
The entrainment industry is a scary thing
Scary as in one is always walking in eggshells in order to not offend anyone
You're locking yourself away to please the public....but you chose this
You decided on this path yourself
You see others have more freedom than you...You can't love freely
Our second genders also play an important role on how we love....you don't want to surrender to someone stronger than you
You don't want to allow yourself be loved by someone else...Why?
Instinct is dangerous....You know you want to claim
One has freedom to date
The other doesn't
unknown male
I could have him....if I wanted to ruin him
unknown male
But I can't .... His smile while he performs....the way his eyes light up when he mentions the thrill of tours
unknown male
They're all so beautiful
unknown male
If I love him now...I lose everything
unknown male
The group. The fans.
unknown male
But if I don't, I lose myself
unknown male
Every interaction we have feels like something I'm not allowed to have
unknown female
If this secret comes out...it won't just be me who falls
unknown female
I'll be failing her...and them
unknown female
But still, even though I don't say it...she makes me feel at ease
unknown female
One day...she's going to realize I'm not worth the risk
unknown female
She can be so much more....She can do way more without having to worry about us
unknown female
Even so....I can't be the first one to leave...because she makes it easier to breathe
unknown male
We've known each other for a really long time....being there in each other's ups and downs
unknown male
Even so...I fear I'm not strong enough to protect him
unknown male
He'll eventually meet people stronger than me....There's plenty out there
unknown male
Sometimes I wonder how he has been putting up with me
unknown male
I fear I'm too much work to actually love....but he makes it seem as if that's not the case
unknown male
Maybe it's because we've known each other for a while. But I know he's the one
unknown female
I'm normal....Everyone else seems to have something special about them....a scent...and a talent and then there's me
unknown female
I'm forgettable....Anyone could easily replace me....Even her
unknown female
She makes it seem like she'll never, but who knows how long that'll last
unknown female
I'm not enough of an alpha to be wanted desperately....there's better out there
unknown female
She's a ray of sunshine in my life....and in others
unknown female
She doesn't know how bright she shines....How others look at her when she's not looking...Can she still choose me?
unknown male
If I let him see me at my lowest.... he'll realize I'm actually broken and not strong
unknown male
It'll hurt my pride....I'm supposed to be strong
unknown male
I am strong...but somehow he manages to outdo me even though we're not in the same industry ....Why?
unknown male
If I let him touch me without control, I'll lose everything I've built...
unknown male
He needs to be put in his place....We're both strong enough to get what we want
unknown male
And that's the problem....I can't give in
unknown male
What if he never truly wants me....and only tolerates me
unknown male
He can't feel what it is exactly I feel through my scent....That doesn't work on him
unknown male
He's everything I want...everything I need....But I never know if I'm everything he needs
unknown male
What if one day he wishes I reacted the way an omega would...that's what all alphas want
unknown male
He's always covering me with his scent....it's nice...it makes me feel safe, comforted...
unknown male
What if he's trying to get a reaction I can't give him.... he'll eventually stop
unknown male
One day he'll want an alpha who can give him what I can't...
unknown male
He's everything....a 10/10...an angel who allows me to step in the same places he's walked through
unknown male
But I'm still lacking....there's way better options out there....what if he regrets choosing me eventually....
unknown male
I know how he feels....how can I not..He's always reacting to my every move he looks like he's always walking on eggshells around me
unknown male
What if one day he decides I'm too much to stand beside....I don't know how to make him feel enough
unknown male
He's everything to me....he's perfect in my eyes...He's made the effort to be all I've ever wanted
unknown male
What if one day he needs something I can't give
unknown male
He's not the first omega I've been with....but they all leave for the same reason...because I don't offer the same comfort as an alpha
unknown male
No matter how hard I try, I fear I'm not doing enough
unknown male
He's perfect..He's mature, responsible, caring.... literally everything
unknown male
Everyone is surprised at our age gap but they don't know the comfort he brings me...how he makes me feel, but I'm afraid
unknown male
He's been with a dominant before....what if one day he chooses someone whose body reacts the way mine can't
unknown female
We're really different....It was one of the few things that almost ended us before
unknown female
I'm too open for her structured world...I've tried to change...She's tried to change
unknown female
It's just a habit we've grown into that makes it hard, but we always push through
unknown female
I know how I am....it's been a struggle for a while but when I'm with her I find myself changing slightly
unknown female
But those changes scare me so much
unknown female
I'm afraid I'll push too hard that she'll walk away...
There's different professions
Each one carries a different story in the world they coexist with....

Elliot Park (B)

Elliot Park (B)
*pats Seorin's shoulder* Listen to me Rin
Seorin didn't really like nicknames...She went by Seorin and SR...her name and the one the industry gave her
Rin was given to her by Elliot, their manager....He only used it when he was serious about the topic because it was the only impactful name in which Seorin would listen
Elliot Park (B)
You may be an alpha, a dominant one at that...But you still have to mention when you're uncomfortable
Elliot Park (B)
It's not a sign of weakness....I want you guys to all be safe...Promise me you'll tell me next time
Seorin Jung (DA)
*teary eyes* I promise
Elliot Park (B)
Okay....*turns to the rest* You guys too
Elliot Park (B)
You all are celebrities
Elliot Park (B)
You're at risk of being harassed and threatened the most....Your safety is my priority and I can only do so much
They all listened to his words....Elliot was their big brother at all times....
They've only been idols for a year and a half
They've been trainees for longer, some more than others....and that only came with some rules....They weren't as guarded as idols are
Minho and Junseo have been trainees since they were 18
Yewon has been training since she was 19
Chase has been training for only two years before his debut...since he was 22
But Seorin...She's been there longer...since she was 15
It's not that she didn't have the talent....She was always just hot headed and when things didn't feel right with a group, she always blew it
At some point the attention and care she received turned to others and she was left...until she met the other members of Eclyre...and Elliot
Elliot Park (B)
*ahem* Either way...What I came to tell you guys
Elliot Park (B)
Due to the sudden advance for your next comeback...You guys will be practicing more
Elliot Park (B)
You're lucky you guys already recorded your songs...You just need to strengthen the choreo and your vocals
Elliot Park (B)
Jae is in the practice room waiting for you guys
Junseo Lee (RA)
Oooo "Jae"
Junseo Lee (RA)
You finally let go of saying his first name?
Elliot Park (B)
*mockingly* That is not your business
Minho Han (RO)
Come on...You always called him Minjae when he said we could call him Jae
Elliot Park (B)
Yeah ...But you guys are all close in age
Elliot Park (B)
*quietly* You know we have a small age gap
Chase Rowan (DO)
Come on...The important thing is you guys like each other
Seorin Jung (DA)
Yeah...Glad to see you finally call him Jae though
Elliot Park (B)
*laughs* Yeah yeah....Just get ready
Elliot Park (B)
We don't want to keep him waiting
Everyone begins walking out of the break room to head to practice room
Chase Rowan (DO)
*turns around* Hmm
Chase Rowan (DO)
What happened
Elliot Park (B)
Just a little heads up after practice
Elliot Park (B)
But I got your schedule of events first and you have to head to Stillwater
Chase Rowan (DO)
*face of disgust* The boxing gym?
Chase Rowan (DO)
ʕಠ_ಠʔ
Elliot Park (B)
But we'll talk about that later
Elliot Park (B)
*pats him* Come on now
Chase Rowan (DO)
