SOOHA sighed as he looked at his tablet. He was checking his schedule, until a reminder about his upcoming heat came out on the screen. He quickly turn shut his tablet off when Wooju suddenly took a seat next to him during the student meeting.
"Well, is there something you're hiding from me in that tablet?"
Sooha looked at Wooju, "N-no. I was just checking on my schedule for this week," he said as he slowly keeping his tablet into his bag.
After that encounter in the last class, Wooju has been hanging out with him almost all the time. Catching up with everything that happened after he left, what happened to the twins and all that. But, Sooha never once mentioned anything about the incident.
He was all wary about how Wooju is an Alpha, but somehow, compared to others, he doesn't seem to be that scared to Wooju. Making the number of Alphas he can be close with up to three people now.
And fortunately, with Wooju being by his side, it's harder for Seokwoo to disturb him like he used to, That what made Sooha felt safe being with Wooju.
"So, we'll be having a faculty dinner this Friday, along with all the seniors, so make sure everyone come and don't be late, okay?"
Sooha looked at the president of the student council, "A faculty dinner?" he mumbled.
It has been weeks after the orientation. Why the hell making the faculty dinner now?
Wooju looked at Sooha, he was grumbling. A short smile was drawn on his face.
"You dont wanna go?" Wooju asked.
Sooha turned his head, looking at Wooju who was leaning closer towards him,
"A-ah, I just dont like being with too many people," he said, moving his eyes away from Wooju.
"ATTENDANCE OF ALL PEOPLE IN THE FACULTY IS COMPULSORY,"
Sooha's eyes widened, "Damn," he groaned in a slow voice.
Wooju just chuckled, "We could just come, stop by a while and then leave. At least we could show our faces that night," he said as he patted on Sooha's head.
Sooha sighed, there's going to be too many Alphas then ...
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
SOOHA sighed as he turn off the call he got from Jooha. He promised them that he would come back home on Friday, but since the faculty dinner suddenly popped up, he had to cancel. He could hear the sounds of Minha whining at the back.
He walked towards the kitchen, grabbing a cup of water and looked at the small bottle he had on the fridge. Looking at the date of the faculty dinner, Sooha just sighed. He knew that his heat is coming and going to the faculty dinner means he was risking himself.
Especially when there's clearly gonna be Alphas everywhere.
*BEEP*BEEP*
Sooha turned his head, his phone was blinking and calling out for him to pick it up. He walked and grabbed his phone, looking at the name appeared on the screen.
Wooju?
He frowned as he remembered how he never once gave Wooju his number before. He dazed as he looked at his phone, until it suddenly rings. Surprised, he looked at the caller.
Wooju?!
He took a deep breath before pressing the green button.
"Hello?"
"Hey,"
Listening to Wooju's voice at the end of the line , somehow making him nervous. It's been a long time they ever meet with each other and everything seems awkward for him, no matter how close they were before.
"Are you there?"
Sooha was startled when Wooju's deep voice was talking to him, "Y-yeah. I'm here,"
He could hear a soft chuckle at the end of the line.
"Sorry to call you late,"
Sooha cleared his throat, "It's fine,"
"Did you get my text? It took ages for you to reply that's why I called,"
The text!
Sooha quickly put on loudspeaker for Wooju and checked the text message earlier, "I'm sorry, I'm checking it now,"
Sooha could hear Wooju chuckling. He frowned, "Why are you laughing?"
"Nothing..."
"It's just that, you seemed to be nervous whenever you're with me,"
"Back then, you were all-"
"People change, Ha Wooju," Sooha cuts Wooju's words, "It's just that, it's been a while since we met. Plus, you're the one whose leaving all behind back then," he added as he was checking the text Wooju just sent him.
A calm silence was there as Sooha reading the text from Wooju. He knew, his words might have made Wooju out of words with it coldness.
"I read your text. What do you mean by that?" Sooha asked, "You know we cannot leave the faculty dinner just like that, right?"
"I know. That's why I am asking you to do that,"
Sooha sighed, "I cannot do that. I cannot drink that much to be drunk so that we can leave early,"
"I am not asking you to drink, Yoon Sooha. I want you to pretend to be drunk, so that I can help you get home so that the two of us can go home earlier,"
Sooha thought of something. In case he could leave early, he can directly go back home and have Jooha's cooking at home just like how he promised before. But, thinking how he's going to be the one drunk, it's risky.
"I'll protect you, Yoon Sooha. It's kinda risky because, I bet almost all Alphas in the faculty especially in our class wanted to get along with you. So, you being KIND OF drunk is going to be a huge opportunity for them to help slash be with you,"
Sooha sighed.
"I'll be with you. We're going to leave early,"
"What will I get from it?"
"I'll send you home. I know that you wanted to meet Jooha hyung at home,"
Sooha's eyes widened, "How the hell do you know that?"
Sooha could hear Wooju's laughing at the end of the line,
"I met him before when I was going back home. He happened to be out at the front when we moved in back to the house. So, we ended up exchanging numbers with each other,"
Sooha frowned, he moved back in the house?
"Surprised?"
"I also heard from Jooha hyung that you're currently living alone near the campus,"
Sooha sighed, why did Jooha told him that?
"Can we do it?"
Sooha frowned as he heard Wooju's words, "Do what?"
"Our plan?"
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
SOOHA sighed. He hated the crowd so much that smelling the mixture of the pheromones let out by everyone in the room made him dizzy enough, worst than being drunk. It was a big mistake coming to the dinner.
A big mistake.
He took a sip of his drink, as he was looking around the bar. Everyone seemed already acquainted with each other, except for him. So, he choose to sit at the very corner of the bar, drinking his orange juice that he ordered.
He wont be risking himself to drink as his heat was getting near. A sip of any alcoholic drink was enough to push down the effectiveness of the suppressant that he took for the whole day. He wouldn't letting himself being in trouble.
"Are you alone?"
Sooha was startled when someone approached his table. He lifted his head, and he froze. The guy reeks of his strong pheromones. Due to reflex, he quickly covered his nose.
Who the hell let themselves reeks with their pheromones like this guy??!
"Hey, are you saying I am smelly?!"
Sooha looked at the guy. He was looking furious.
"You reeks," Sooha said. "Reeks of your pheromones, and it's making me dizzy," he added.
Sooha quickly stood up, ready to take off from his seat and leave. But, before he could even pass by the guy, his collar was grabbed from behind,
"You rude little punk! I was being nice!"
Sooha pushed away the guy's hand from pulling his collar. He looked at him with his annoyed face,
"I told you, you reeks of your pheromones, you as-"
"You're an Omega, aren't you?"
Sooha's eyes widened. Looking at Sooha's reaction, the guy laughed.
"Looking at how you reacted to my pheromones, you're surely an Omega," he said as he continued laughing.
Sooha noticed how he purposely emits more pheromones around him. And now, he's starting to feel more and more dizzy.
The strong pheromones he was emitting, mixing with the other pheromones he could smell in the room, made him felt sick. He suddenly remembered what happened back then in school. The whole place was filled with the pheromones. He held on his head, suppressing the pain.
"Yoon Sooha!"
Sooha could feel someone was holding him by his waist. But, his sight was already black.
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
"YOON SOOHA,"
"Yoon Sooha, wake up!"
Sooha slowly opened his eyes, feeling the pain in his head as he felt like he was being carried.
"Urgh ..." He groaned.
"Uh, thank God you're awake,"
Sooha opened his eyes wide and just realized that he IS being carried by someone. He looked at Wooju with his surprised face,
"Huh?"
"You fainted at the dinner party. I thought you were acting at first because it felt so real, but after getting closer to that prick, I realized he poured a lot of his pheromones on you," Wooju said as he was looking at Sooha with his serious face.
"You need to go to straight to shower after this, or else that son of a bitch's pheromones going to linger on you for a long time," he added.
Sooha looked at Wooju who was grinding his teeth, suppressing his anger. Why are you being mad?
"I asked Jooha hyung your address, so I am going to drop you off to your apartment instead of home, cuz Jooha hyung said it's an inconvenience to have me carrying you back home like this,"
Sooha looked at Wooju, "Inconvenience?"
Wooju drawn an awkward smile on his face,
"Urm, well. I dont take public transports to go back home. I walked. So, he thought that it would inconveniencing me to take you back home, walking,"
Sooha chuckled, "You're still afraid of taking public transports?"
Wooju sighed. Sooha smiled. To think that how Wooju have grown larger and bigger than him, but still afraid to take the public transport just like how he used to back then , it was really a surprising thing for an Alpha like him.
"You should have called for a driver though," Sooha said. But then, he noticed that he was still being carried by Wooju, "Uh, you can put me down now,I'm fine already," he said.
Wooju shook his head , "No-uh. I was assigned by Jooha hyung to carry you back to your apartment, so I will do it!"
Sooha sighed. He tried to get himself down, but Wooju's grip on his legs are stronger, that he can do nothing but just give in.
