"Are you pouting?" Junghoon asked, watching as Jihoon got off the bike.
The omega's lips were in a subtle pout as he started heading for his apartment.
"I'm not pouting," Jihoon mumbled, reaching for the door.
Junghoon ran after him and grabbed his arm, prompting the omega to face him. "Are you angry because I kissed you?"
Jihoon looked down, biting his lips. They stung a bit and he glared up at Junghoon.
Back at the cabin, the alpha had kissed him senselessly. Jihoon could barely breathe between those fervent kisses, a bit scent drunk from Junghoon's scent.
No matter how much he pulled away, the alpha always pulled him back.
Eventually, Jihoon just gave up.
Now, his lips felt raw and every slight touch stung.
"You didn't stop when I told you," Jihoon grumbled, glaring at the alpha.
"How could I?" Junghoon smirked, reaching out to caress the omega's jaw. "When you tasted so good?"
He leaned in, their noses touching. "When you made such beautiful sounds and surrendered so willingly?"
Jihoon's breath hitched, cheeks flushing. "You are—"
Junghoon's hands reached to cradle the back of the omega's head, his fingers caressing his neck.
"I wanted to take you right there," he whispered into the omega's ears. "Make you scream my name in pleasure."
The alpha teasingly bit Jihoon's earlobe and the omega shivered, a gasp escaping his lips.
"Junghoon... " he whispered, placing his hands on the alpha's shoulder. "You said you would give... me time."
"You are driving me crazy," Junghoon groaned, trailing kisses all over Jihoon's exposed neck. He tightened his grip over the omega's waist.
Jihoon eyes closed as he threw his head back, exposing his pale throat.
"Junghoon," he gasped as the alpha sucked his neck, teeth grazing his scent gland.
The air smelled of ripened peaches and fresh coffee as they stood in front of the omega's apartment.
They both didn't care about being seen.
Jihoon felt something trickled down his thighs and his eyes snapped open.
Is that—
He pushed the alpha forcefully, eyes wide with shock.
He was slicking!
The omega grabbed his trousers, a gasp escaping his lips.
"Is everything alright?" Junghoon asked, voice tinged with concern.
His hand reached out to assist but the omega stepped back, shaking his head wildly.
"No!"
The alpha blinked at the loud refusal, pulling his hands back. "What is wrong with you?"
"Oh..." Jihoon mumbled, meeting his gaze. "It's nothing. I just...need to go right now."
"I need to help Seungho," he lied, an awkward smile on his face.
The alpha raised a brow, not buying the lie. "That's sudden."
Jihoon removed his hands from his trousers. "Yeah... he told me to help him with writing..." he raised a finger. "...a book!"
He couldn't allow the alpha to smell his slick!
"I see..." Junghoon hummed in understanding. "I shouldn't keep you waiting then. Goodnight."
The omega nodded hurriedly. "Goodnight."
He turned away with haste and ran to his apartment, entering inside.
"Nice one, Kang Jihoon."
Jihoon hissed at his friend's voice. "You are definitely a pervert."
Seungho giggled, crossing his legs on the couch. "You both gave a good show."
Jihoon groaned, running a hand through his hair. "Don't say anything about it."
"He must be a good kisser," Seungho continued, ignoring his friend's request. His nose caught a whiff of a familiar scent and he sniffed the air, eyes widening.
"Is that—"
"Not. A. Word."
Jihoon leveled him with a glare and he zipped his lips, looking away with a knowing smirk.
"This is so embarrassing," The omega groaned, closing his eyes.
"So you slicked from his kiss!" Seungho loudly pointed out.
Jihoon quickly turned and threw a pillow at him. "Hey! Park Seungho!"
It landed on the floor as the other omega ran into his room and shut the door, escaping his friend's wrath.
"I'll still hit you when I see you!" Jihoon yelled, picking up the pillow.
"Not a chance!" Seungho's cheeky voice came from his room.
"This asshole."
*************
"Mr Kang! Mr Kang!"
Jihoon quickened his pace, as he made his way through the crowded hallways, ignoring Junghoon's calls.
He rounded a corridor, heading to the male's restroom when the alpha caught up with him.
Jihoon stopped walking, turning to face him. "Ah... Junghoon. I didn't see you."
He bit back a wince at the pathetic statement.
"Let's talk," Junghoon stated, stepping into the restroom. His tone was calm and brooked no argument.
The omega sighed and followed him in, shutting the door.
"Why have you been avoiding me?" The alpha questioned, not beating around the bush.
Jihoon bit his lip, opting to stay silent.
Junghoon chuckled. "You can't even deny it," he muttered.
The omega met his hurt gaze and he shook his head. "It's not like that."
"Then what is it like?" The alpha asked, raising a brow at him. "Tell me."
Jihoon sighed.
How could he possibly say he was embarrassed because of what happened yesterday!
"I'm just nervous today," he whispered.
Junghoon nodded faintly. "What is making you nervous?"
He stepped closer to the omega. "Tell me."
Jihoon exhaled shakily. "What we are doing? What if it affects your academics?"
"What if you are suspended from school?" he asked.
Junghoon grinned, eyes lit with amusement. He traced a finger over the omega's cheek, admiring the rosy blush over it.
"So cute."
Jihoon blinked at him. "Huh?"
The alpha shook his head. "I'm not interested in coming to school, Sweet."
"I only come to see you."
The omega frowned. "But your academics—"
"Don't matter," Junghoon calmly cut in. "Not more that you. I don't care about anything else except you."
The words were uttered tenderly and Jihoon felt his tummy swirl with butterflies. He looked up at the alpha, a shy smile on his lips.
"Yes," he whispered and Junghoon's brows furrowed in confusion.
"What?"
Jihoon leaned in and kissed the corner of the alpha's lips. "My answer."
Junghoon stared at him in disbelief. "You agreed."
"Yes," The omega repeated, giggling at alpha's reaction.
Junghoon reached out and embraced him, sighing in relief. "Finally, you agreed."
Jihoon smiled, burrowing further into the alpha's arms. "There was no other option, Junghoon."
"You treat me better than anyone I know in this world," he whispered.
Junghoon placed a lingering kiss on his forehead. "And I will continue to treat you better," he promised.
The door opened and they swiftly pulled away with Jihoon immediately facing the mirror, pretending to fix his hair.
"Oh, Jihoon?" Seojun called, stepping in. He looked at Junghoon. "You are here too."
The lack of enthusiasm was evident and the alpha smiled. "I'll take my leave then."
Junghoon shared a glance with Jihoon before he walked out of the restroom.
Seojun snorted and approached the sink. "That boy acts like a gangster."
"He is not that bad," Jihoon whispered, playing with his fingers.
"Look at you defending him," Seojun threw a skeptical glance at the omega. He turned on the tap, washing his hands.
"Haven't you heard?" he asked, grabbing a tissue.
Jihoon frowned. "Heard what?"
Seojun turned to face him, leaning against the sink.
"Kim Yujin has been admitted to the hospital," he said.
Jihoon froze, heart sinking with dread.
