Minjun's body trembled for a long time, until the spasms finally subsided. His breathing was ragged, but he was no longer groaning - he just quietly exhaled, his face buried in Hyuk's shoulder. His cheeks were flushed, his hair was stuck to his temples, but his eyes shone as if a new, calm star had taken up residence in them.
Hyuk was still inside. He didn't move - he just held him, warm, relaxed, his whole body pressed against him. His cock remained deep inside, and this gave the omega a feeling of heaviness and fullness, but now it was not passion but a quiet confirmation: "I am here, I am with you."
The pheromones were no longer oppressive. Their density had dissipated, turning into a soft background, warm like a blanket. The alpha's scent was soothing, like air he could breathe forever.
Minjun stirred, but Hyuk held him tightly.
"Don't go," he whispered. "A little longer."
"I don't want to," Minjun replied, his voice hoarse from moaning, but a smile could be heard in it.
The alpha ran his palm slowly down his back, along the entire length of his spine, and a wave of warmth spread through the omega's body from this movement. Now the trembling was not convulsive - it became lazy, pleasant, like the calm after a storm.
Minjun felt his body still pulsing around the alpha inside him, but now it was calm, even, without pain. The warmth spread, as if he had become part of something bigger.
"You know," he whispered, barely audibly, "when you stay inside me... I feel safe."
Hyuk leaned in and kissed his temple.
"That's because you're my omega. And because I'll never leave," he said simply.
They sat like that for a long time. Minjun was half-lying on his chest, his breathing gradually evening out. The wine on the table remained untouched, the food was getting cold, but it didn't matter. What was important was only this feeling - of fullness and silence.
Behind the nursery door, Seha - their new dawn - was sleeping peacefully. And here, in the kitchen, among the scent of wine, the warmth of a body, and soft pheromones, they found their other dawn - warm, familial, eternal.
***
The morning arrived quietly. Without noise or sudden sounds, just the soft light slowly making its way through the curtains, painting golden stripes on the floor and walls. The air in the room was fresh and cool, smelling of the night's silence and something domestic, something familiar.
Minjun woke up first. His eyes slowly adjusted to the light, but his heart was immediately filled with warmth. Next to him, in the same bed, Hyuk was sleeping. His breathing was deep and even, his chest rising and falling rhythmically. A little further away, in a small cradle, Seha was quietly dozing.
This scene was so simple - and at the same time, so impossible before. Minjun froze, afraid to move, as if one careless motion could destroy this fragile world. But nothing broke. Everything was real.
He turned his head and looked at Hyuk for a long time. The alpha slept peacefully, his facial features softened, and a shadow of a smile was on his lips. Minjun carefully reached out, barely touching his fingers. The warmth of that touch immediately resonated in his chest.
And then his gaze slid to the baby. Seha was sleeping with his mouth slightly open, his arms raised as if he was trying to embrace the entire morning at once. The small blue sneakers lay nearby on the nightstand - Minjun had taken them off last night, unable to resist smiling.
The sun's rays grew brighter, gently illuminating the baby's face and touching Hyuk's shoulder. It seemed the dawn itself had come into this room to witness their new life.
Minjun closed his eyes for a second and allowed himself to breathe deeper. The alpha's scent - familiar, strong, now woven into his own. The baby's scent - light, not yet fully formed, but already familiar. All of it mixed into one new aroma: the scent of home, of family.
His thoughts flowed freely, gently, like the morning light.
"I am happy."
This thought came simply, without questions, without doubts. He was truly happy - genuinely, for the first time in many years.
He remembered the fears, the loneliness, those evenings when it seemed there was nothing but darkness ahead. And now, looking at the alpha beside him and at their son, he understood: all of that was in the past. The dawn had arrived.
Minjun looked at Hyuk again. A pang of tenderness squeezed his chest: this man was there for him when he himself no longer believed he deserved to be loved. And now, he was lying here, beside him, and the whole world had narrowed to this one moment - to the two of them and the baby sleeping in the cradle.
The sun rose higher, and the rays touched Minjun's face. He smiled, feeling for the first time that there was neither emptiness nor pain inside him. Only light.
"I am loved."
This thought warmed him as much as Hyuk's touch had in the night. A loving alpha, a little son - his family. His dawn.
Minjun carefully leaned over and kissed Hyuk on the temple. The alpha stirred slightly without waking, and pressed his hand more tightly against his side.
The room was quiet. The silence no longer felt frightening - it was breathing with life. It belonged to the three of them.
Minjun closed his eyes and allowed himself to get lost in this morning. He was no longer afraid of tomorrow. Because now, in this moment, he knew: the dawn of his new life had arrived - next to his beloved alpha and their little son.
And this dawn would be with them always.
End.
