long time ago, a beautiful omega was born in the land of gusu. the folktales told that when the omega stepped on the ground, whole land bloomed with blue peonies. his name was lan hui. he was born a pureblood, noble omega - his beauty and kindess spread through the land, reaching the deepest of corners. he could make flowers bloom, birds chirp. the elders of gusu saw his potential and decided to make him mate with the future leader of the pack - to assure the creation of strong alpha heirs. they wanted to use the rare power he had - the breath of life- to spread it to the next generations. lan hui could bring dead back to life with a simple breath of his. lan qiren was the heir of the pack. he was the strongest growing alpha among the peers. he had fallen in love with the beautiful omega, yet he could never show his true feelings. as they were forced to mate, lan hui fell into severe depression. the more depressed he was, the more his core got black. but the elders never stopped, their greed for the sacred power blinded them. they were forced to made, qiren was forced to force his spiritual energy on someone he loved. he never wanted that, his action should have showed nothing more, but love, yet in the end he had hurt someone he loved the most. this is how lan sehun was made - a fruit of force and hatered. two years had passed hui learned to adore the first born and his mate. tho, the two years of self descturction made his core crack and blacken. he could no longer use his powers. as the core was maintained the stable way using the happy thoughts and memories, hui's slowly died since he had nothing happy in his life. sehun was rejected by his omega father ever since he was made. he grew up with his father with whom he had the closest relationship. his omega grandfather always said that he was his father's son, inheriting not only his looks, but also his abilities. when he was only two years old, his brother came into his life. by then, sehun's life was already a mess. the elders refused to accept the fact that their heir might be an omega and blamed his omega father for that, causing even severe depression. he did not leak pheromones until he was a teen. he took a parental role for his younger brother, he felt responsible for it. he worked hard to prove himself in the eyes of the pack, eventually earning respect and admiration. ever since childhood he and yibo were inseparatible, he always told the stories about their omega father, leaving out important information, like the truth about his death. even now, he is responsible for his little brother, putting on a mask of jockster, to hide the deep scar his childhood had left.
