One Text Away | Seungbin

by BTSSyndrome

Summary:

Seungmin receives a text from an unknown number and the thrill of texting someone new gets to him. He enjoys the attention of the man that texts him every day, adding in spice to his otherwise boring life. It's just a plus that the guy flirting with him is also a sweet alpha.

~Seungmin's POV~

I've always hated unsolicited dick pics.

Not that it wasn't fun, in a way. It was always shocking to curiously open the text of an unknown number and immediately be faced with a dick pic. Sometimes, if the dick looked decent, I would react with a heart emoji. But I would never reply twice.

One such instance happened today. I sipped my morning tea, my eyes glancing over unwanted spam that I couldn't figure out how to block from my phone, before my eyes settled on a text that didn't look like the typical spam I'd see every morning. And upon opening it--there it was.

A very hard, unsolicited dick pic. Large, majestic. Precum glistening the tip, I was shocked to say the least. Per usual. But, for a different reason than usual.

I'm used to butt ass naked men sending me pictures. I'm used to seeing puckered ass cheeks below the balls, I'm used to seeing gray hairs lining, well...everything.

Rarely would I ever see a decent picture. Even when I went fishing for them from other guys that were supposedly my age to spice things up for once--I was always disappointed.

Not that I should be expecting much from people sharing pictures of themselves on the internet.

I gulped down my tea, my eyes watering as my big gulp hurt my throat. I blushed as I stared at the picture. The long, hard, hairless--well, besides the happy trail leading down to it--dick that was resting against a clothed abdomen. There were sweatpants, slid just beneath the balls to get a good picture. I could see hips peeking out of the dark clothes, showcasing honey skin with pink indentions from sweatpants that must've been just a bit too tight.

PuppyMinnie: Oh my.

Delivered

I blushed after sending my response to the man that had texted me such a daring picture. Half wondering if he would respond, or if it was a one hit wonder in my DMs.

10/10.

If I had to receive all of those other horrific unsolicited dick pics just to receive this one, I would happily cringe my disgust at them all one by one again.

GymDwaekki: Oh god.

I gasped when I got a response. And again when I realized what he was saying, I faceplanted my desk and rattled my teacup with the hit before I looked at my phone.

He definitely didn't want a reply, did he?

GymDwaekki is typing...

GymDwaekki: I'm so sorry, my friends dared me to text that to a random number.
I didn't expect anyone to actually get it.

PuppyMinnie: No, it's okay.
I get them a lot.
Not intentionally, I mean 😅
I'm used to it.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you.

GymDwaekki: 😅
K...
I'm still sorry.
Uh...
😅...
How...old are you...?

PuppyMinnie: ??
I'm 24.

GymDwaekki: Oh thank fuck.

PuppyMinnie: ?
Um...
How old are you? 😅

G

ymDwaekki: 25.

Sorry, it just makes me feel a bit better that you're 24 😅...

PuppyMinnie: Oh 😅

...

This feels so awkward...

I mean, he did send me a picture and then I answered, but...

I guess I didn't expect an apology. I kind of expected another picture.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind another one either.

...

PuppyMinnie: So...

GymDwaekki: ?

PuppyMinnie: What do you do for a living? 🤔

GymDwaekki: Uh...
Well, I'm currently still in college.
But I teach yoga in my free time.

PuppyMinnie: Username checks that out 🤭
If you're 25 and still in college though, is it because you're pursuing a master's?

GymDwaekki: No.
I have gotten a degree already.
I chose to keep attending after getting a bachelor's though.
I'm pursuing business so I can hopefully open up my own gym some day.
I don't really need college to get a business license, but I figured it'd be good to understand more about business so I don't tank.

PuppyMinnie: Oh, that's cool 😲

GymDwaekki: Thanks 😅
What about you?

PuppyMinnie: I never went to college.
I'm an author.

GymDwaekki: Oh?
Should I know you?

PuppyMinnie: Do you read enough books to know anyone? 👀

GymDwaekki: Nope.

PuppyMinnie: 😅...
Well...even if you did, you probably wouldn't know me anyway.
I was a one hit wonder.

GymDwaekki: Working on anything new?

PuppyMinnie: I've recently turned in manuscripts.
So somewhat...lol.

GymDwaekki: Good luck.
Maybe I'll be hearing about a Minnie in the news soon.

PuppyMinnie: No...😣

GymDwaekki: No?

PuppyMinnie: What I write isn't really anything you'd see on the news...😓

GymDwaekki: Do you write obituaries or something?
What does that mean?

PuppyMinnie: 😅...
I write...bad things...lol.

GymDwaekki: Bad things?

PuppyMinnie: Yeah...
Like...
Manhwa bad...lol.

GymDwaekki: ...👀
I see.

PuppyMinnie: 😣

GymDwaekki: 😂
You seem shy for someone that writes something like that if I'm thinking right.
Draws it even...lol.

PuppyMinnie: It's embarrassing...
I started out drawing those types of things in high school.
Commissions...you know.
That's what makes good money 😭

GymDwaekki: I'm sure it does lmao.

PuppyMinnie: Don't judge 😖

GymDwaekki: Hey, I'm not judging.
It's cute.

PuppyMinnie: ??
Cute? 🫠

GymDwaekki: Yeah.
Cute.

PuppyMinnie: Oh 😣

GymDwaekki: Do you dislike me saying that?

PuppyMinnie: No...

GymDwaekki: Alright.
Cute, then.

I stared down at the last message he'd sent, blushing and whining as I got embarrassed. I covered my face with my arms, before I let out a sigh and tried texting him back.

PuppyMinnie: You don't even know my name 😒

GymDwaekki: Well mine is Changbin 👀
Feel free to call me hyung or oppa.

PuppyMinnie: Hyung...😣
My name is Seungmin...😵‍💫

GymDwaekki: Cute.

I slammed my head into the table much like I had before.

PuppyMinnie: You were embarrassed about what you sent me not even that long ago, what happened? 😖

GymDwaekki: I mean...
You replied...lol.
We're close in age...
You replied...
You didn't seem upset...
You replied...
...You replied...lol.

PuppyMinnie: Are you expecting something back?

GymDwaekki: I wouldn't complain.

PuppyMinnie: 😣
Sorry, I'm not really that kind of omega...
Well, maybe I'm not far from it, but...
It's so early in the morning...lol.
And I'm not brave enough...

GymDwaekki: Omega? 👀

PuppyMinnie: 😟

GymDwaekki: I'm an alpha.

PuppyMinnie: I can tell!

GymDwaekki: Was it the pic? 🤔

PuppyMinnie: 😣
You aren't as embarrassed as you made yourself out to be!

GymDwaekki: I was.
But a 24 year old omega that just so happened to reply was the one that received my message 🤔
Who just so happens to draw...porn, I presume?
You seem like a naughty catch.
A pearl in a sea of fish, that rolled right into my palm...👀
Though if you don't like it, I'm sorry, I can stop.

...

PuppyMinnie: I didn't say I didn't like it...
It's just a lot...

GymDwaekki: 👀
Well 👀
Are you single?

PuppyMinnie: I'm a porn manhwa artist cooped up in my apartment all day, what do you think? 😅

GymDwaekki: I think I've hit the jackpot 👀
Whatcha wearing?

PuppyMinnie: Sir.

GymDwaekki: 👀

PuppyMinnie: 😣
I have stuff to do...

GymDwaekki: That's fine.
Just save my number as My Alpha❤️

PuppyMinnie: 😨

GymDwaekki: I asked if you didn't like it and you said you did 👀

PuppyMinnie: 😣

GymDwaekki: Cutie.
I have to go too though.
Maybe I'll text you again later 👀

For a third time, I banged my head on the table like it could magically make the redness on my face turn into a painful red instead of a blush.

I need a cold shower.

GymDwaekki: Had dinner yet?

.

.

.

I was staring at the text of the alpha with a blush and narrowed eyes, my lips held tight together as I tried to decide whether or not I was gonna answer him. I knew he probably knew I'd read his text--the read symbol would give me away.

Should I answer? Or should I not? I mean, it isn't like I didn't enjoy the flirting earlier even if I was shy about it. I liked the attention. I've felt so giddy about the situation all day. And admittedly, I...may or may not have gone back up in our chats to...look...

...

PuppyMinnie: I haven't decided what to eat yet.

GymDwaekki: I can help you decide what's good for dinner 👀

PuppyMinnie: Um...
What is? ☺️

GymDwaekki: Hmmm 🤔
What's your scent?

PuppyMinnie: ???
Um...
My scent is kind of like a mixture of fruit...
Like a fruity cocktail.

GymDwaekki: Oh, how nice 👀
Maybe a fruit salad and some chamomile tea?
A light dinner with something to relax you before bed.
You could mix in some sweet syrup as well 👀

PuppyMinnie: I don't have any syrup, unfortunately 😔
I do happen to have some fresh fruit and chamomile tea bags though.

GymDwaekki: Well, there's only one thing missing but it sounds like you've got the perfect syrup to match it all together anyway.

PuppyMinnie: What?

GymDwaekki: If your scent is a fruity cocktail, then...
...That means your slick must taste fruity too, no?

PuppyMinnie: 😨

GymDwaekki: 👀
I'm just kidding.
Fruit salad isn't too bad though.
It's good to have light dinners.
Unless you want to be freaky and spice your salad with your own slick?

PuppyMinnie: You're...horrifying.

GymDwaekki: All I know is that it's night time, there's a beautiful omega on the other side of this chat, and he smells fruity sweet.

PuppyMinnie: 😣
You're shameless.

GymDwaekki: Thank you.

PuppyMinnie: You don't even know what I look like, how do you know if I'm beautiful or not anyway?

GymDwaekki: All omegas are beautiful.

PuppyMinnie: You've been window shopping? 😒

GymDwaekki: Not today 🤔
My thoughts have been filled by a certain little porn artist today.

PuppyMinnie: I shouldn't have told you that I draw porn.

GymDwaekki: It's hot 👀
I am curious though...
What relationships do you draw? 👀
Men and women?
Men and men?
Women and women?
Others?
Or maybe you like all of them and draw other things? 🤔
Do you prefer to draw omegas with omegas?
Or maybe alphas with alphas?
I've heard that's pretty popular with omegas these days.

PuppyMinnie: Why does it matter what I draw? 😣
Are you gonna tease me for it?

GymDwaekki: Just curious what you're into.
So, did I guess it already? 🤔

PuppyMinnie: No...

GymDwaekki: 😶
Betas?

PuppyMinnie: Alpha and omega...
Men...

GymDwaekki: Oh, so are you gay? You like alphas? 👀

PuppyMinnie: Hush 😣

GymDwaekki: You know...we fit those parameters...👀

PuppyMinnie: And?
Are you suggesting that I draw us together?

GymDwaekki: Why draw us when we're both real?
You've already seen the goods.

PuppyMinnie: Are you suggesting that we meet up for...that?

GymDwaekki: Sex? Lmao

PuppyMinnie: ...That? 😖

GymDwaekki: If you aren't too far, why not? 👀
You're Korean or else we wouldn't be able to talk.
Unless you're abroad.
Or a foreigner that learned the language 🤔
But...👀
Probably Korean, right?
You type pretty fast...👀

PuppyMinnie: I'm Korean, and I'm in Seoul 😣

GymDwaekki: Me too 👀
Wanna come ride it?
Or I can come and give it to you in the comfort of your own sheets.

PuppyMinnie: I haven't even had dinner yet!

GymDwaekki: Is that your only issue? 😂

PuppyMinnie: 😖

GymDwaekki: 👀
Am I making you uncomfortable?

PuppyMinnie: No...

GymDwaekki: 👀
Permission to continue, then?

PuppyMinnie: 😣
No!

GymDwaekki: 💔
Oh well.
Your reactions are so cute though.
I swear I'm not serious lol.

PuppyMinnie: 😟
You're teasing me...

GymDwaekki: I've asked you a couple of times now if you're uncomfortable.
I'm giving you the chance to say no and you've not said it 👀

PuppyMinnie: Well...
Don't be mean...

GymDwaekki: I'm not mean.
I'm very nice.
I have quite a few five star ratings from past dates, you know.
I've earned my gentleman title 😌

PuppyMinnie: Does that title extend to closed doors time? 😒

GymDwaekki: Well I don't generally take my dates behind closed doors unless they want me to, and they're not typically worried about me acting gentlemanly behind closed doors 🤔

PuppyMinnie: Oh...

GymDwaekki: Hm?

PuppyMinnie: You aren't a virgin, are you?

GymDwaekki: Do I sound like one?

PuppyMinnie: ...No.

GymDwaekki: Didn't think so.
Are you? 👀

PuppyMinnie: Um...

GymDwaekki: Fuck

PuppyMinnie: ???

GymDwaekki: So you're a cute little omega that draws porn and you've never had a cock for yourself?
Are you dreaming of it?
You'd love to be drawing your little magic with something sank down deep inside of you, hm?
Your manuscripts would really be made with love then, hmmm?

I blushed, gulping as my brain started to imagine that scene instantly. I closed my legs together, biting my lip as the image of the cock in the picture he'd sent me just yesterday slipped down between my legs in my head, before it slowly penetrated my walls and spread me apart. I gulped again, before I looked down at my open chat with Changbin.

PuppyMinnie: Do you like cockwarmers?

GymDwaekki: Fuck yes.

PuppyMinnie: ☺️

GymDwaekki: 👀
You're imagining it, aren't you?
Laying down in your bed, our hips together, your nose snuggled into a sketchbook while I've got you on your knees breeding you from the back 👀

PuppyMinnie: Would you be gentle with me?

GymDwaekki: As gentle as you need, baby.

PuppyMinnie: Do I get to be praised?

GymDwaekki: I'd whisper it into your ear with each roll of my hips.

PuppyMinnie: You drive a hard bargain.

GymDwaekki: It only takes an hour to get across Seoul, assuming you're even across it 👀

PuppyMinnie: ☺️

GymDwaekki: Or since it's this late, if you wanna video call...

PuppyMinnie: I told you before that I'm not that kind of omega.
I don't want my first time to go so suddenly anyway.
Why don't you go to a bar or something and find a hookup there?

GymDwaekki: 🤔
Meh.
I'm up for the long run with a cute omega.
So...wanna tell me what you're wearing this time?

PuppyMinnie: So you can imagine taking it off of me and stroking yourself to it?
Nope.

GymDwaekki: Maybe next time 😌
But anyway, it's about my bed time now.
Enjoy your dinner, beautiful Minnie.

PuppyMinnie: 😣

GymDwaekki: Want to tell me what you're waking up in? 🤔

PuppyMinnie: It's eight AM.
Are you already thinking with your dick?

GymDwaekki: I had to stroke it out last night and this morning, thank you 😔
It's so needy.

PuppyMinnie: Stop having dirty thoughts then.

GymDwaekki: Nah, I'd rather play with it.
It's fun.

PuppyMinnie: 😒

GymDwaekki: So what are you doing today?
You're up surprisingly early.
I thought authors would sleep in late.

PuppyMinnie: I like having a cup of tea every morning.
That's what I'm doing now.
And I received feedback on my manuscript, so I'm going to begin drawing the scenes in it today.

GymDwaekki: Is that so? 👀

PuppyMinnie: Yes.

GymDwaekki: Gonna draw lightsabers today? 👀

PuppyMinnie: My manhwas aren't censored.

GymDwaekki: 😏
Oh, so you draw the veins and all, hm?

PuppyMinnie: And the drool, spit, slick and cum.

GymDwaekki: But you've never seen the physics of it in real life? 🤔
You must imagine things quite a bit.

PuppyMinnie: Behave.

GymDwaekki: 🫡
I'm on my way to the gym to workout before my classes today.

PuppyMinnie: Yoga?

GymDwaekki: Nope.
Squats and bench presses are on the roster today.
Got a couple sets to do.
Then I might run on the treadmill for a bit.

PuppyMinnie: Oh, do you work out all around?
You mentioned yoga yesterday morning so I thought you just did the flexibility stuff.

GymDwaekki: Nope.

GymDwaekki: I get everything in 😌

PuppyMinnie: Did you seriously censor your face with a flower when I've seen your dick?

GymDwaekki: Had to 😌
You'd have fallen for me too quickly if you saw my face.

PuppyMinnie: 😒
I bet you're catfishing.

GymDwaekki: Tonight when I get home, I can send you a picture of my muscles again with my dick in the picture.
Then you can compare the pictures and make sure ☺️

PuppyMinnie: What makes you think I care either way?

GymDwaekki: You brought it up, beautiful.
I'm just offering proof that this body could be all yours 😉

PuppyMinnie: The size in that picture you sent wouldn't even fit anyway.

GymDwaekki: It most certainly could with enough love, devotion and fingering.

PuppyMinnie: Well, at least I know you aren't shallow enough to want me for my looks.

GymDwaekki: Lol.
Looks aren't everything.
If the ass is good and wet, I'm happy anyway.
I like omegas that can cook or at least eat well 🤔
Any sweet omega like that would have my heart in seconds.
It's just a plus if he takes it with whimpers and sobs.

PuppyMinnie: Genuine question:
Is your brain shaped like your dick?

GymDwaekki: No.
But that doesn't mean that I don't like thinking with it.
It's very active.
It loves attention from beautiful omegas.

PuppyMinnie: You say that like you have a lot of options 😒

GymDwaekki: Is that jealousy? 👀
Don't worry, when my heart and dick are set on one omega, they ignore others.
You're the only one I want at the moment 😘

PuppyMinnie: I'd only let a man with genuine feelings for me touch me.

GymDwaekki: Do there have to be genuine feelings for a man to see you touch yourself?

PuppyMinnie: 😒
No.
But that doesn't mean you'll get the privilege.

GymDwaekki: What do I have to do to earn the privilege? 👀

PuppyMinnie: 😮‍💨
You could at least try to get to know me.

GymDwaekki: I already said I'd do it for the long run 👀
And you still haven't told me no...👀
Do you want me to stop flirting?

PuppyMinnie: No...

GymDwaekki: So you like it.

PuppyMinnie: I didn't say that.

GymDwaekki: Then why don't you want me to stop flirting with you? 👀

PuppyMinnie: Hush and go do your squats.
I have stuff to draw.

GymDwaekki: I'm still on the bus.
Wanna show me what you've drawn so far?

PuppyMinnie: Is that really something you want to be looking at on a bus?

GymDwaekki: I've sexted on busses before.
Hit me.

PuppyMinnie: Oh have you 😒

GymDwaekki: I mean, we can do it too.

PuppyMinnie: I wouldn't even do it with you if we were in dark, locked rooms.

GymDwaekki: 👀
You gonna show me your drawings?

PuppyMinnie: You ignored me, didn't you?

GymDwaekki: Drawings? 👀

PuppyMinnie: 😒

GymDwaekki: 😳
Okay damn.
I knew virgins were stereotyped as kinky as fuck but that's a lot 😂

PuppyMinnie: You wouldn't knot an omega's mouth?

GymDwaekki: That's a knot??
I thought it was like monster sex.

PuppyMinnie: No..........
It's a knot...........

GymDwaekki: ?? 😅
Uh...
You don't know what an alpha's knot looks like, do you?

PuppyMinnie: 😟

GymDwaekki: No, I'm sorry.
I don't mean it to be mean.
I'm sorry.

PuppyMinnie: It's okay...
No, I haven't seen one, so...
I'm not brave enough to look up pictures of real ones and the fake anatomy diagram ones are...kinda...

GymDwaekki: Not realistic lmao.

PuppyMinnie: 😣
Does it really look that bad...?

GymDwaekki: I mean, it looks hot either way.
You draw really good.

PuppyMinnie: Thank you, but...
😕

GymDwaekki: Aww.
Cutie.

PuppyMinnie: Don't tease me.
It means a lot to me 😟
It is my job...

GymDwaekki: But you aren't brave enough to window shop alpha knots?

PuppyMinnie: Where would I even find real knot pictures? 😓

GymDwaekki: 🤔
I can help lol.
My stop is almost here so I have to go.
I'll text you tonight.

PuppyMinnie: How would you even help??
Are you gonna look up pictures? 😅

PuppyMinnie: Hyung?

I have a knot, beautiful.
If you need any more angles of it, let me know 😌

PuppyMinnie: Oh my god

GymDwaekki: Like it?
It's big, isn't it? 😌
I had to jerk off for an hour to get it to swell up for you.
Think my dick knew my fist wasn't for knotting 😂

PuppyMinnie: 😣
Hyung...

GymDwaekki: Hmm?
You want to know what a knot looks like, no?
It isn't like you haven't seen my dick already anyway lol.

PuppyMinnie: 😖
Um...

PuppyMinnie: Can I see your hand on it?

GymDwaekki: 👀
[Image.jpg]
Like this?

PuppyMinnie: Hold it by the base of your knot...

GymDwaekki: [Image.jpg]
This better, beautiful?

I gulped, looking over each of the pictures that he'd sent me with a blush as my pencil hovered over a sketchbook. I could feel slick soaking up my underwear the longer that I stared, and the more that I had a visual of what a real knot looked like, the more that I wanted to feel one swelling up inside of me.

I wanted it so badly every time I drew it out for one of my manhwas, sure, but...

Changbin was right...

...My drawings aren't like the real thing.

...

About twenty minutes after I had left Changbin on read, I had sketched out the outline of a large, knotting dick. Admittedly, I was rolling my hips into my pillow and humping it the entire time that I was drawing, my own dick hard and leaking in my sweatpants as I drew out my sinful drawing.

PuppyMinnie: Thank you.
I drew out something better to keep as reference...

GymDwaekki: Happy to be of service 👀
Do my good deeds get me any fruity sweet rewards?

Read

I chewed on my lip as I stared at the alpha's flirty request. Though I was sure he was just teasing me like he had been in all of our other chats, I--

...

...Am I horny enough that I don't care right now?

It's night time...

I'm alone, and...

I need a shower anyway, so...

...

I would probably be embarrassed and regret it later. But as my heart was pounding out of my chest, caught up in my own feelings and horniness, I slipped down my sweatpants just enough to let my pitifully leaking tip and a tad bit of my length show before the waistband of my sweats covered the rest and hugged it to my body. I took a picture of my peeking out dick and bare hips from where I laid on my belly, hoping that the picture wasn't totally awful before I sent it to the alpha.

PuppyMinnie: [Image.jpg]

GymDwaekki: Holy fuck
If that's what knot pictures get me, do you need more?
I can get you more.
I'm hard as fuck.
Show me more, beautiful.
You're so fucking pretty.
[Image.jpg]

I softly gasped at the picture of his hand and length soaked in his own cum, and wasn't even over the first picture before the alpha had sent me a video of him rubbing his dick with his cum soaked hand. My hand automatically went down to my own dick, tugging at it from it's confines in my sweatpants. I matched my strokes to his, watching the video with soft whimpers as the alpha rapidly jerked himself off for my viewing pleasure. And not even a full minute later, I gasped and shivered as I came on my shirt and bit of belly exposed now from my squirming to my own touches. I curled up in my bed, my hand sinking down further into my sweats to tug at my dick from it's base as I replayed the video just to watch Changbin jerk himself off all over again.

PuppyMinnie: You'll praise me if I'm good?

GymDwaekki: I'll praise you through every bit of it with kisses and cuddles.
I'll talk you through every orgasm, beautiful.

...

PuppyMinnie is calling!

"Hey."

...

The sound of a man's voice didn't go unnoticed. But it was unanswered as I softly whimpered against my phone's speaker. I was sure that Changbin could hear the sound of my slapping skin, though it was probably muted out by my gasping moans into my phone.

"Holy fuck." The alpha mumbled as he realized in an instant what I was doing.

"You weren't just teasing me, we're you?" I asked softly, nuzzling my nose into my blanket as my phone laid beside my head.

"No. No, beautiful, no." The alpha crooned. "Keep going, baby. You're doing so well, aren't you? Rub it for alpha."

"I'm doing it." I whimpered, purring into my phone's speaker. "It feels so good, hyung, I--"

"Yeah?" Changbin breathed, followed by soft slapping sounds in his background. "You sound so cute, Minnie."

"I like it when you call me Minnie." I smiled, stroking myself faster as I rolled myself over onto my back, whimpering out soft moans as I listened to his own jerking off in the background, trying to copy his movements like it was him who was touching me right now.

"Minnie." He crooned right up against the speaker. "You're doing so well, Minnie." His breath hitched, before I heard the alpha groaning. "Take off your sweatpants baby. Get on your hands and knees."

I obediently began to kick off my sweatpants as the alpha commanded, before I picked my sensitive body up onto my hands and knees. "I...I am, hyung, I am..."

"Good boy." He crooned. "Hold yourself up, beautiful. Let go of your cock, okay? Wipe off your fingers if you soiled them."

"B-But--"

"Do it." He softly growled, making me whimper at him. I obediently followed his orders, though I whimpered my distress at disobeying my own wishes.

"I did it..."

"Good." He crooned into the phone again. "Lay down your torso. Keep your hips in the air, okay, babe? Now I want you to reach back and play with your hole. Rub slow, gentle circles over it."

"Hole? But--"

"Obey." The alpha crooned deeper. "Or you won't get your praises, baby."

I whimpered, but obediently reached back behind me. My hand trembled and I blushed at my own dirty actions as I began to rub circles against the rim of my asshole slowly. My slick built up on my finger, making me whimper my embarrassment as I showcased my ass to my open bedroom behind me. On my vanity, I could see my own body and red face reflecting back at me in the mirror.

"I look like a mess..." I whimpered into my phone.

"You would look so beautiful, baby." The alpha mumbled. "Close your eyes. Don't worry about that, pretty baby. Close them tight."

I nodded even if the alpha couldn't see it and closed my eyes, letting my forehead rest against my sheets as I continued rubbing slow circles into my rim. My soft gasps filled the quiet room, and I could hear Changbin's jerking off slowing down as the alpha must've wanted to match my slow pace.

"Now I want you to imagine this, baby. Imagine warm hands holding your hips, rubbing your thighs. Imagine that the slow circling on your rim is a hot tongue, gathering up your sweet slick. Do you like that?" He breathed, making me gulp.

"Yes..." My legs began to tremble as I tried imagining it, warm hands holding my hips steady and a hot, wet tongue being what was rimming my asshole. My dick twitched beneath me, and I resisted the urge to grab it and play with it too.

"Now slip the tongue inside, darling. Let it taste your fruity slick. Circle it around inside of you."

"I-It won't fit, hyung. It--"

"Try." He crooned. "Just try, cutie."

I whimpered at him, but tried applying pressure on the hole. I bit my lip, a moan parting my lips as my finger--the tongue--spread apart my walls and snuggled inside of me. I curled it and circled it around inside me as I had been ordered, before I whined and rested all of my weight on my cheek and shoulders as my other hand went to stroke my dick.

"What now?" I asked softly.

"Just enjoy it, baby. Get used to it." He crooned, making me purr back at him again. I obediently fingered myself to his commands as the alpha whispered little praises into the phone, just as he'd promised. I moaned beside my phone's speaker, the pitch becoming higher slowly as I got closer and closer to a high. My brows furrowed, my body shaking as my finger twitched against a sweet spot inside of me, before I cried out as cum began to spill out from my tip and soil my black bed sheets. My hips bucked, trying to find some friction even as both of my hands fell away from my body. I took in fast, deep breaths as I came down from my high, my eyes fluttering open and landing on my phone, where I could hear Changbin groaning and the faster sounds of slapping in his background. I blushed and nuzzled my face into my bed, before I grabbed my phone and reached back, angling it to get a perfect view of my slick soaked asshole. I bit my lip, staring shyly back at the camera as I was sure that the photo was capturing my entire position and face snuggled into my bed, but I didn't much care at the moment.

If this alpha finds me from my face, comes and busts down my door and yanks down my pants to breed me some day in the near future, I don't think I'll complain.

I just hope that he fits.

I sent the picture to him, before I curled up with my phone. I listened to Changbin and waited with puppy eyes focused on my phone screen for the alpha to react. A few moments later, I heard his movements slowing down, followed by a low, throaty groan.

"Fuck, baby..." His deep breathing made me blush, gulping as I waited for him to continue. "I knew you were so pretty. You look so fucking pretty like that, all ruined for me. You want that little hole filled up, don't you? That would make you so happy right now, wouldn't it?"

"Yes." I purred softly, blushing at my own words.

The alpha groaned again when I agreed, before the vigorous slapping sounds continued. "Your eyes are so fucking cute. Your face is so fucking cute. You're begging to be fucked, baby."

I giggled at the alpha's words, shyly nuzzling my face into my bed sheets as the alpha finished himself off. I laid down on my bed, ignoring my body's icky feeling as I snuggled with my phone. I could hear the alpha's deep breathing as I was sure that he had came, before he let out a loud huff as he finished.

"Fuck." He groaned. "You really are so pretty." He mumbled. "I'd question if you're catfishing me but you're so perfect--you followed every direction I gave you, baby. Such a good boy, aren't you?"

"I'm a good boy." I agreed, purring.

He chuckled at my response, before he breathed out and tried to catch his breath. I bit my lip as I listened to him for a bit longer, before I gulped.

"I should go and clean up." I mumbled, smiling even if the alpha couldn't see it. "I...made a mess."

"Okay." He crooned. "Sorry, Minnie. I'd do it for you if I was there. You deserve plenty of aftercare after how good you were."

I giggled shyly, making the alpha chuckle at me. He crooned into his phone, before I heard some rustling in the background.

"Bye, Minnie." He crooned. "Thanks for the treat. Loved the call. And the pictures, beautiful."

"Thank you for helping me, hyung. Um..." I gulped, before I sat myself up and curled into myself as I stared at the black screen of my phone. "I...hope you won't see me as a lesser omega for giving myself up so easily like this, um..."

"No." He mumbled. "You aren't lesser at all. You were so pretty. So good." He crooned. "You'll get as much attention as your little heart desires, puppy."

I purred at that, before I started to stand myself up. I felt better the more that I heard him crooning, feeling my heart pounding at the sweet alpha. I looked down at my messy sheets on my bed, before I smiled sheepishly at my phone.

"Thank you. Um...good night, hyung."

"Good night."

GymDwaekki: Figured I should send a picture of myself too since you showed me your face last night 😘
Good morning, Minnie.
I hope you have a good day today.

GymDwaekki: Sorry I'm texting so early, by the way.
My bros wanted to hit the gym at 5 in the morning today to beat our 8 AM classes 😮‍💨

...

[8:26 AM]

PuppyMinnie: 😖
You're really handsome, hyung ☺️
Sorry, I just realized you said 8 AM classes! 😰

...

[11:08 AM]

GymDwaekki: It's okay, cutie lmao.
My phone was on silent.

PuppyMinnie: Good morning ☺️
I'm still sorry...

GymDwaekki: Good morning lol.
Did you sleep well?

PuppyMinnie: Yes.
Did you?

GymDwaekki: So well 😩
All that jerking off did wonders for my sleep last night.

PuppyMinnie: 😖

GymDwaekki: 😂
By the way, if my replies randomly stop coming, it's cause I'm out with my friends lol.
We're getting lunch before our next class.

PuppyMinnie: Oh...
I'm sorry, I don't mean to interrupt your time with your friends.

GymDwaekki: Nah, you're not.
I texted first anyway lol.
I've been itching to talk to you all morning.
I was hoping you would be up at 5 AM just so I could see you before my class lol.

PuppyMinnie: ☺️
You're so sweet, hyung.

GymDwaekki: What can I say?
I've got a cute omega on the other end of the chat 😘
You're so cute on the inside and outside.
And your whimpering on call last night has been stuck in my head all morning.
Your voice was so cute.
Want to call again tonight?

PuppyMinnie: Are you thinking that you're gonna get another phone sex call tonight? 😒

GymDwaekki: No.
I just wanted to hear your voice.
Cutie.

PuppyMinnie: 😣
I'm gonna be busy tonight, so...

GymDwaekki: Heading out somewhere?

PuppyMinnie: No.
I have a lot of drawing to do.
It takes a lot of time to draw a manhwa chapter, so...

GymDwaekki: Ah.
Got a hot date with drawing porn, I see.

PuppyMinnie: No...
I have to draw a kissing scene.
And I was gonna make the characters cuddle, too...
You gave me an idea last night and I wanted to fit it into this chapter...

GymDwaekki: Are you gonna make the characters have phone sex? 😂

PuppyMinnie: No...
I wanted to try writing an aftercare scene...
With kisses and cuddles like you said before...

GymDwaekki: Oh? 😏
Stealing my aftercare style, I see.
Didn't even get to experience it and you already want to write about it.

PuppyMinnie: Hush.
It just sounded cute, and...why not?

GymDwaekki: Aww.
You're so cute, Seungmin.

.

.

.

GymDwaekki: You don't mind me calling you by name, do you?

PuppyMinnie: It's okay, I just got shy...

GymDwaekki: Aww.
I really did get blessed with such a cute omega.
You can call me by my name too, you know.
Not just hyung.
'Changbin hyung'...👀
Hmmmm...?

PuppyMinnie: Changbin hyung...

GymDwaekki: Good boy lol.
Hold on real quick, it's almost my turn to order.

PuppyMinnie: Okay 😖

...

GymDwaekki: 👀
Have you eaten lunch yet, cutie?

PuppyMinnie: No.
I had breakfast around 9 AM, so I'm not hungry yet.

GymDwaekki: Aww, alright.
[Image.jpg]
Want to share the same thing for lunch today? 👀
If you like this.

PuppyMinnie: Is that curry?

GymDwaekki: Yeah.
I got it with pork cutlets too.

PuppyMinnie: I can't eat spicy food very well...😥

GymDwaekki: It's Japanese curry, not Indian lol.
It's not spicy.

PuppyMinnie: Ohhh.
Maybe then...
😣
If anywhere can deliver it...

GymDwaekki: https://www.thisplacehaskatsucurry.com/katsucurry
The place I'm at delivers.
You gonna order it? 👀

PuppyMinnie: Oh 😲
That place...
😣
That's just a few streets away from me.

GymDwaekki: No kidding?
Damn, you're close.

PuppyMinnie: 😖
I'll check it out later...

GymDwaekki: Tell me if you get some, cutie.
I want to know if we shared the same lunch order today.

PuppyMinnie: 😖
You're acting like this is important to you.

GymDwaekki: Eh.
Why not lol.
What, is this kind of stuff what makes you fall for alphas? 👀

PuppyMinnie: I've never fallen for an alpha before 😒

GymDwaekki: Think I can change that?

PuppyMinnie: Hush.
Behave or we won't share the same lunch.

GymDwaekki: Aww.
Is my little cutie getting shy?

PuppyMinnie: 😣
I think you're just being a bit too friendly for a guy that I met just a few days ago.

GymDwaekki: I mean, we had phone sex last night.
You called me lol.
And back on the topic of that call tonight...
I'm gonna be busy too.
I got an essay to write.
You don't want to suffer working together?
Promise I'm quiet lol.

PuppyMinnie: 😒
I don't trust you.

GymDwaekki: Good, you should never trust alphas you met a few days ago.
That being said, showing me your face and telling me you live in the same neighborhood as me was probably not the best way to protect yourself lol.

PuppyMinnie: If you break into my house, I'm kicking you.

GymDwaekki: Only kicking me?
Not gonna finish the job?

PuppyMinnie: You're really big...
What else am I supposed to do?

GymDwaekki: 🤔
Ever thought of taking martial arts classes?

PuppyMinnie: No, cause I would break all of my bones so quickly.
I'm too clumsy for something like that.

GymDwaekki: You're so freaking cute.
It's okay.
I can protect you 😉

PuppyMinnie: You're the danger 😒

GymDwaekki: 🫡
At least the danger is a handsome guy, no?

PuppyMinnie: 😒
You suck.

GymDwaekki: 😘
It never hurts to at least try out martial arts though.
Even if you only make it through one class.

PuppyMinnie: Thought you were gonna protect me? 😒

GymDwaekki: 😘

PuppyMinnie: 🙄
😮‍💨
Anyway...
I guess we can call tonight if you promise you'll be quiet.
But if you try and initiate phone sex with me or get suggestive even a little bit, I'm hanging up and blocking you for a day 😒

GymDwaekki: Well if it's only a day-- lol.

PuppyMinnie: Two days.

GymDwaekki: 💔
You drive a hard bargain.
1.5 days?

PuppyMinnie: Three.

GymDwaekki: Now that's just mean.

PuppyMinnie: Why does that even upset you? 😒

GymDwaekki: I've been looking forward to our chats lol.
Maybe I'm growing a crush on you?
😏

PuppyMinnie: One more flirty line and no call.

GymDwaekki: You're so mean lmao.

PuppyMinnie: Hush.
You deserve it.

GymDwaekki: Is it because I didn't personally come and give you aftercare last night? 💔

PuppyMinnie: No 😣

GymDwaekki: 👀
Cutie.
I gotta go now though lol.
Lunch time is up.
I'll call you around 7 PM, that cool?

PuppyMinnie: 7 PM is dinner time...

GymDwaekki: Should we order in the same thing tonight? 👀
We can have the same lunch and dinner 😘

PuppyMinnie: 😒
We'll see.

GymDwaekki: 😉
Alright, cutie.
Gotta run.
I'll see you tonight 😘

PuppyMinnie: Bye, hyung.
Pay attention in class.

GymDwaekki: 😂
Bye, cutie boy.

"Hey."

...

I shivered at the alpha's crooning voice the moment that I answered his call. I blushed and pouted as I curled up in my desk chair, already regretting agreeing to call with him even if it was really just because I was scared that I wouldn't get any work done while I was on the phone with the flirty alpha.

"Hi." I mumbled back, putting the alpha on speaker before I laid my phone down on my desk.

"Did you order dinner already? You didn't right? Cause you wanted to have it with alpha?" He cooed.

"Well now I wish I did order already." I grumbled, making the alpha laugh. I smiled at the alpha's funny sounding laugh, barely containing my own at his contagious giggle.

"Lucky me then. What are you craving, cutie?"

"I kind of want sushi." I said as I picked up my pencil to start sketching along on the cuddling scene I'd mentioned to the alpha earlier.

"Sushi? Have you ever tried the sushi place down the street from Yonsei University?"

"I have. That's my favorite place to get it. They deliver really quickly."

"Yeah. Want to order in there?" He asked, crooning at me.

"Yes." I said as I set down my pencil to pull up the sushi place's app. I browsed the options quietly, chewing on my lip as I put my favorites into my cart and sent in my order, before I gulped as I picked my pencil back up and set aside my phone. As the call went quiet, my gaze drifted off into space.

"...So..." I mumbled, gulping. "Yonsei...university..."

"Hm?" He hummed.

"...They have a business program, don't they?"

...

"They do." Changbin replied, before I heard soft laughter. "Is that your way of asking if I attend Yonsei?"

"Do you?"

"Maybe. Are you gonna check out the campus and look for me if I say yes?" He chuckled, making me blush.

"N-No, of course not." I sputtered. "That would be so creepy. I was just wondering since...you said you're I college, and...you mentioned Yonsei and we're in the same neighborhood, so..."

The alpha openly laughed at me as I started to panic. I pouted and whined at him, but that just made the alpha laugh harder.

"It's okay, cutie. Even if you did come looking for me, I wouldn't complain. Yeah, I do attend Yonsei. Like that?" He chuckled. "Means your alpha is smart."

"You aren't my alpha." I grumbled, before I tried my best to focus on my cuddling drawing.

"Mm. I could be though."

"I told you I would hang up if you flirted with me." I huffed. "You also promised that you would be quiet."

"You don't wanna talk to me? Boo." The alpha crooned. "I wanted to hear your voice some more."

"My finger is hovering over the end call button..." I threatened slowly.

"Okay, I'm sorry." The alpha sighed. "You're so cute though."

"My finger is getting closer." I deadpanned.

"Okay, okay. Fine." The alpha complained. "Don't block me."

"I won't." I sighed, before I tried focusing my attention harder on my drawing. "Do your homework, Mr. College student."

The alpha chuckled at my words, but he obediently stayed quiet. About ten minutes later, I could hear the alpha getting up to go to a knock on his door. And about a minute after I started to hear him crumbling a bag on his end of the call, there was a knock on my own door.

Oh. So we'll actually be getting to eat at the same time.

I smiled a little at that as I was unpacking my own bag of food.

"Did you get your dinner too?" He asked as I was popping open a plastic container of sushi.

"Yes. You did too, right?"

"Yup. Send a pic. I want confirmation you're eating sushi with me."

"You're so weird." I rolled my eyes, but smiled and sent him a picture of my sushi on my desk. The alpha hummed as he checked the evidence, before I received a picture back of the alpha's own desk and sushi set up.

"Do I still have to be quiet while we eat?" He asked, making me eye my phone.

"Funny you think I'm not muting myself while I eat."

"I don't care if you make noise while you eat." He snorted. "Don't mute. I want to talk to you."

"I'm muting." I said, grinning as I tapped my phone screen to see my call menu. The alpha groaned, but he didn't complain as I muted myself. Though I pouted right after when the alpha retaliated with a mute of his own.

Jerk.

The actual silence did help me for a bit though as I ate with one hand and drew with my other. I spent an extra long time sketching the hug of the two main characters as they snuggled in a bed, smiling at the tight grip that the top had on the bottom.

It must feel so good to be held by a strong man like that.

I do wish I could feel that some d--

"DOES CHANGBIN HYUNG REALLY HAVE AN OMEGA ON THE PHONE?!"

I jumped at the sudden, loud voice coming from Changbin's unmuted phone. I could hear loud laughter and the sound of struggling, making me stare at my phone with wide eyes as it sounded like Changbin was wrestling with someone.

"Don't talk to him you idiot! Get the hell out of my apartment! I didn't give you a freaking key to come and annoy me, jackass!"

"If you didn't give me a key to come and annoy you, what did you give me a key for at all?" A maniacal laugh replied.

"Jisung, chill." Another voice came from further in the background. "Don't knock his food onto the ground. That's just a dick move."

...

The call was muted back right after that other voice, making me furrow my brows at what I'd heard.

Um...

I guess he has company now...

I cringed, but kept eating. Though I stopped drawing as my mind wandered to the two voices I'd heard. And eventually, I stopped doing anything altogether as I waited and waited for Changbin to unmute again. But after a few minutes had passed, the call ended. No goodbye, nothing.

And I'd be lying if I said that didn't upset me a little.

GymDwaekki: Sorry, my friends raided my apartment.
I don't want them to say anything weird to you.
I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay?
Good night, Minnie.

Read

I curled my lip, unsure of how to respond to him after he'd hung up without a goodbye, even if he'd immediately followed up him hanging up with an apology and explanation.

It isn't like it matters anyway. We aren't anything to each other in the first place.

...

...I'm still gonna leave him on read though.

[7:54 AM]

GymDwaekki: Good morning.
Hope you slept well, cutie.
Sorry again that I left prematurely last night.
My friends refused to leave.
I only just got them to get out a few minutes ago.
They stayed the night 😮‍💨

Read

[9:43 AM]

PuppyMinnie: Oh.

GymDwaekki: Are you upset with me, Min?
You left me on read for two hours 😅
And all night...lol.

PuppyMinnie: No I didn't.
I left you on read all night and for one hour and 49 minutes.

GymDwaekki: 😅...
I really am sorry, cutie.
I've got an essay to write today but I don't have to go anywhere today.
We can call today if you want to.
I can make it up to you.

PuppyMinnie: It isn't that important.
I have to go out today anyway.
Bye, hyung.

GymDwaekki: 😕
Alright.
Text me when you're free, cutie.

...

I sighed, before I pocketed my phone and looked up as my bus arrived at my stop. I stepped off of it, before I walked down the street I was on to go into a grocery store.

I'm making something stupid into a big deal, I know I am. I know it's stupid of me to be mean to him for hanging up on me, but...

The more I think, the worse my brain makes him hanging up.

Was he embarrassed that his friends knew about me?

I sighed, trying my best to put on a blank face as I wandered through the aisles of a grocery store. I kept sighing again and again though as I did my shopping, and wasn't any better on my bus ride back to my neighborhood. Admittedly, I wasn't proud of the response text that I sent Changbin after my grocery run.

PuppyMinnie: Were you embarrassed that your friends found out that you were talking to an omega online?

GymDwaekki: No.
I wasn't embarrassed at all about them knowing about you.
I just didn't want them to say anything weird to you.
They're the guys that dared me to send a dick picture to a random number in the first place that got us talking 😅
I didn't want to share my cute omega friend that I made through that.
Plus, my friend that unmuted the call in the first place kept screaming my address before he realized that I remuted 😮‍💨

PuppyMinnie: Would it be that bad if I heard something weird?
You aren't a weirdo beyond being a flirty pervert, are you?

GymDwaekki: I'd like to think not.
And even if they weren't liable to say weird things, one of them was still chanting my address lol.

PuppyMinnie: Isn't like I'm capable of doing anything to you in the first place.
You're ripped.

GymDwaekki: It's the principle of it.
Why, did you want my address?

PuppyMinnie: No...
I'm sorry.
I just felt kind of hurt when you hung up on me.
I was waiting for you to unmute and say something to me and then I just heard the call end...
I got upset.
I'm really sorry.

GymDwaekki: Aww.
I'm sorry, Minnie.
Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?

PuppyMinnie: 😕
I don't want to be a bother.

GymDwaekki: You aren't.
It's okay to have feelings, Min.
I'd rather you be honest with me on how you're feeling than just be sad in silence.

PuppyMinnie: Still.

GymDwaekki: It's okay.

GymDwaekki is requesting a video call!

...

I blushed when the alpha called me with no sort of warning. I sat up straight and began to instinctively fix my hair, before I looked down at myself to make sure my clothes looked okay. I bit my lip, panicking a bit as I curled up in my desk chair, about to answer his call before I gasped and looked behind me to make sure my studio apartment looked clean enough. Though it shouldn't have even crossed my mind--I cleaned my apartment every single day. I gulped, before I went to answer his call--just for it to stop ringing the moment that I tried to accept his call.

...Oh...

PuppyMinnie: Um...

GymDwaekki is calling!

Oh...

It isn't a video call this time...

I pouted, before I outright declined his call this time. Then, I called him myself.

PuppyMinnie is requesting a video call!

Changbin answered immediately. I watched nervously as the serious expression of an alpha came onto my screen, taking in his face and posture as the alpha seemed to be doing the same to me. I gulped, biting on my lip harder, before I quickly stopped when I realized that he could see me doing it. I smiled at him shyly, before I set down my phone on my desk so all he could see was my ceiling. Then, I tried making myself sound busy by aimlessly shuffling around papers on my desk.

...

...Is he gonna say anything...?

He was the one that wanted to call apparently...

...

"If meeting my friends might make you feel better about it, I can call them over."

"That's unnecessary." I replied dismissively.

"I still can. If it makes you feel better, it's not an issue."

"I don't want to be a bother. I already said that."

"And I already said that you aren't a bother." He said, before I heard a sigh. "I'm sorry, Seungmin."

"It's okay." I mumbled, before I sighed. "I'm sorry too. It's such a nonissue in the first place. I'm just too sensitive."

"It's okay." He said, before the alpha started to softly croon like it might help both of our moods. "So...what are you doing? Did you finish what you had to go out for?"

"I just needed to go to the store."

He hummed, making me look over at my phone screen. I curled my lip when I saw that the alpha had set his phone down too, so I could only see his ceiling now too.

What was the point of us video calling then...?

I sighed, before I started to fix all of the papers I'd messed up while I was trying to act busy.

I'm too moody. And sensitive. And possibly too needy.

I'm preheating, aren't I?

Isn't that just delightful?

I stood up and walked away from my desk just to go and find something else to do rather than sit in silence with him.

I'll make some chamomile. That will calm my omega.

As I was in the middle of making my tea though, I kept looking out of my kitchen to frown at my desk as I could hear disgruntled growls coming from my phone. I rose an eyebrow each time that I heard Changbin's growling complaints, before I went back to my desk with my cup of tea.

"Why are you growling?" I asked before I sipped my tea.

"Where did you go?" He grumbled. "You left, didn't you?"

"I went to make tea." I grumbled back. "What's wrong with that?"

"You didn't take me with you."

"Did you want to go with me?"

"Of course I did. We're on the phone. How could you walk away from me?"

"It isn't like we're even talking."

"We could've been."

"Well we weren't."

"Still. Take me with you if you leave your desk." The alpha huffed. "Is tea more important than me?"

"Yes."

"Now that's just mean."

I picked up my phone just to stick my tongue out at him on camera. Then, I set my phone back down to keep sipping my tea.

"Wow. You really just did that. You really, really just did that."

"And I'll do it again." I said, before I set down my tea.

"You're so heartless. Genuinely heartless."

"You're jealous over a cup of tea."

"Please, that tea has nothing on me." He said confidently like it was a challenge. "I'm the best tea there is."

"What is that even supposed to mean?" I giggled, setting down my teacup so I wouldn't accidentally spill it as I was giggling.

"My scent is tea." He said, before I heard some deep croons. "Chamomile, to be more specific."

"You smell like chamomile tea?"

"Yes."

"Oh." I mumbled, pausing as I looked down at my tea. I took in a slow, deep breath to scent the aroma of the tea, before I smiled. The alpha paused, like he was listening to me taking in the scent of my tea.

"Are you drinking chamomile?"

"No. Green." I lied, smiling.

"Oh? Prove it. Show me your tea."

"Why do you always want proof of everything?"

"Why are you sniffing your tea if not to imagine how I smell?"

"Maybe I just like the scent of green tea?"

"Lies. You're drinking chamomile. You just don't want me to see the color of the tea."

"Hush. Don't argue with me."

"I will argue."

"Okay? So what if I'm drinking chamomile? Maybe I just like the smell of chamomile."

"Oh ho? So you like the idea of me smelling like chamomile."

"That is not what I said."

"It's implied, cutie. You like chamomile, so you like me."

"That is not what I said!"

I whined at him, but the alpha was laughing at me and ignoring my pouting. I sighed, before I picked up my tea to sip it and ignore him.

I should go make some green tea and show him that instead just to prove him wrong.

...I don't want to waste my tea though. I drink it too much to be wasting a single bag of it.

Plus, he'd probably know I'm making it. He started growling the first time I walked away from him to make tea. He might come and hunt me down if I leave a second time for tea.

I huffed, before I pulled out my most recent panel I'd been working on for my manhwa to keep drawing on it. I wasn't sure what Changbin was doing, but I wasn't gonna dwell on it either.

We ended up staying on call together for about three hours, mutually silent as we both worked on our own things. It did honestly make me pretty happy, and I found myself getting a lot of work done even with the occasional distraction of him rustling around in the background.

It's surprisingly comfortable. We've only known each other for a few days, and yet...

...

This isn't so bad.

...

Distracted now though, I began to tap the eraser of my pencil against my bottom lip. I occasionally glanced down at my phone, where I could still only see Changbin's ceiling and the shadow of a ceiling fan running above him out of sight.

...

"...Hyung?" I called, setting down my pencil to peek at my phone out of view.

"Hm?" Changbin hummed, leaning into my view. I smiled when I realized that the alpha had put on some black framed glasses and looked adorable with them on paired with his fluffy, curly black hair.

"Um..." I trailed off, gulping before I smiled sheepishly at my phone even if he still couldn't see me. "I don't know. I'm sorry."

"You don't know?" He chuckled. "Did you just want my attention?"

"No..."

"Then what's wrong, Minnie?"

"Er..." I cringed, before I began to chew on my lip per habit. "I was just...thinking." I said, frowning. "Um..."

"Yes?" He crooned softly, trying to sound inviting.

"I, um..." I gulped, before I looked at my phone where I could see the cute alpha in frame still. "I was wondering what...you would call us?"

"Uh..." He sounded confused. "What do you mean?"

"Like..." I gulped. "I mean, we aren't together, obviously. And it would look weird if we just stayed in a texting phase forever, but--"

"How would it look weird?" He asked, furrowing his brows. "Scratch that--texting phase?" He asked, smiling. "You mean like...talking? Are we talking?"

"We've been talking since I replied back to your picture..."

"You know what I mean." He said, his smile widening. "Are you asking me if we're talking? Exclusively, only with each other?"

"Um...well, no, I think...it would be weird, since...we've only known each other a few days. I don't expect that at all. I was just...thinking it would be weird if we were just texting for forever..."

"You mean you want to meet up?" He asked, looking surprised.

"No..." I bit my lip. "Just forget it. I don't even know what I'm thinking."

"It sounds like you want affirmation." He said, before the alpha leaned back in his chair and out of my sight. "I don't think it's weird. I think it's cute. And as for what I would call us--I think we could match the talking phase. Or texting, whatever you want to call it. We're flirting, aren't we? Or--I am, and you aren't rejecting it. I already said I'd be down for the long run a few times. If you're up for talking like this with the idea of potentially becoming boyfriends at the end of this round, I'm up for it too. We're both single and like each other, so I don't see an issue. It's a plus that we're close enough to each other that we could feasibly meet some day too."

"O-Oh..." I sputtered softly, curling into myself and blushing. "So..."

"So..." Changbin chuckled. "Are you okay with us talking like this with end game being a relationship? Cause I am if you are."

"I just..." I gulped, trying to contain my smile and not sound too happy. "I'm unsure of a lot. I don't know what I'm thinking."

"Well, do you like me?" He asked, leaning forward and appearing on screen again. I blushed when I saw him, a patient smile on his face.

I'm so glad he can't see me.

"I do..." I mumbled honestly, my voice barely above a whisper.

"I like you too." He said, a lopsided smile pulling onto his lips. "So..." He grinned and leaned back out of sight again. "Wow. Didn't expect my flirting to be getting me a cute omega."

"Do you not bag omegas often?"

He snorted at my question. "I've been having one night stands here and there since I started college, but I haven't bothered dating since high school. If we got together, you'd be my first boyfriend in about seven years. I've been focusing on school."

"Am I distracting you from your dream?" I asked softly.

"No. Even if I mess up anything on my business degree, it isn't like I don't already have my dream job. Though being a yoga instructor is not what I want for the long run, it's still basically my dream job."

"Do you not like yoga?"

"It's...okay." He cringed. "I just struggle with it myself sometimes so it's a little hard to teach some of it."

"How do you struggle?" I asked, furrowing my brows.

"The flexibility." He replied, chuckling. "I've got so much muscle that my flexibility is nonexistent. It makes yoga a bit hard when my muscle is in the way of some of the stretches."

"Oh." I giggled, nuzzling my nose into my knees and smiling. "I didn't think of that."

"Most people don't. I didn't think that getting fit would take away things from me as much as it would give. But I like being fit like this." He said, before I heard soft croons. "Do you like it?"

"It's...nice." I said shyly.

"Just nice?" He asked, before he popped up on the screen with a playful smirk. "Nothing else, baby?"

"You give yourself too much credit."

"Oh?" He chuckled. "Then when we get to meet for the first time, I better not catch you checking me out, beautiful." He teased, before he leaned back out of view. I whined at him, but I didn't argue. Mainly because I was scared of complimenting him when he would tease me so hard for it.

I don't know how to handle him. He's so sweet, and...I'd be lying if I said I didn't like his attention and teasing, but...

It's so hard to handle. I've never felt this shy with someone before.

Thankfully, Changbin didn't tease me anymore. We spent another two hours working in silence together before Changbin bid me farewell as he was receiving a call from his mother--which he told me about by saying 'your mother-in-law is calling me, I gotta go, baby'...

...Needless to say, I gasped and hung up on him before he even had the chance to end the call himself.

But I found myself smiling like an idiot for the entire rest of my day after that. I had trouble going to sleep that night, and ended up falling asleep snuggled up with my phone and thoughts of Changbin.

 

***

 

The next morning, I woke up to a phone call. I softly whimpered as my phone buzzed in my arms after I'd fallen asleep snuggling with it, before I peeked at the time and the caller ID.

I yawned, pouting as I saw that it was already ten AM and I'd slept in later than I usually would. I answered the call without much thought when I saw it was Changbin, too happy to be talking to the alpha the moment that I woke up.

Well, until I realized that he was requesting a video call and I had just woke up.

"Aww." The alpha cooed, not even saying hi when he saw me. I blushed, ducking my face into my blanket when I saw the alpha. He chuckled at me, while I whimpered at the alpha.

"I didn't see that it was a video call..." I curled my lip.

"You didn't look?" He grinned. "Were you happy to see me?"

I whined at him, but peeked out from under my blanket to look at him. He smiled when he saw me, glancing over me as I was still curled up in bed.

"Did I wake you, cutie? I'm sorry, I thought you'd be up already."

"It's okay. I didn't mean to sleep in this late anyway." I said as I laid down my phone on my bed so I could stretch, moaning as my body felt less tense. Changbin crooned as he listened to me waking up, while I was starting to wonder if the alpha had called me while he was at the gym. I peeked at my phone, finding the alpha curling a dumbbell from where he sat while he was watching something off screen.

"What are you doing?" I asked as I sat up with my phone, getting up to go and make my morning tea.

"I'm at the gym. My friends ditched me for their earbuds and treadmills. I didn't have time to text you this morning, so I thought I'd call and bug you while I had the chance. These assholes are making plans with my time without consulting me at all." He said, though he didn't look so bothered.

"Oh. So you aren't gonna have time to talk to me today?" I asked, unintentionally pouting at him on camera.

"Aww. Is my little Minnie upset about it?" He cooed, before he smiled at me. "If I can't during the day, we can always talk at night. I'll kick them out if they try to crash at my place tonight."

I nodded, even if I still didn't want to wait so long to talk to him again. Changbin smiled wider at me, but my attention went behind the alpha as I noticed a chubby cheeked person sneaking up behind him. Then, Changbin was barking out his anger as someone jumped on his back. I gasped when the alpha dropped his phone and was wrestling with someone all of a sudden, before the phone was picked up and I was face to face with the chubby cheeked man now.

"Hey." He said, a flirty grin on his face. "So you're Changbin hyung's boyfriend? I thought he was joking."

"Um..." I gulped, blushing at the words of the other man as Changbin quickly stole his phone back.

"Jisung! Go away!" Changbin snapped, making the other man--Jisung--giggle.

"What? You don't want to share your omega?" Jisung giggled. "You could at least introduce him to us if you're gonna ditch us for him later."

"You don't need to know him for me to ditch you for him. Piss off, brat." Changbin scolded, but there was a call for Jisung before he even seemed to decide a response to Changbin. Jisung looked back with a big smile, and a moment later, I could see the Jisung guy sharing a kiss with another man that was with them.

Oh--

Changbin cringed at them kissing, before he sighed and looked at me.

"I'm sorry. He's hellbent on being annoying today."

"No, it's okay." I said, smiling at him. "Um..." I looked towards the background where it looked like the two were flirting now. "Are...they together...?"

"Yeah. Jisung is an omega. The other guy's name is Chan. They've been dating for a few years now and they've forced me to be their third wheel through all of it."

"Oh." I giggled, even if my smiling didn't reach my eyes now. Admittedly, I was a bit jealous that he had an omega friend even if said friend was in a relationship.

Call me insecure, but...

I don't really like another omega being close to a guy I like.

I mean, like as in...like...a friend. I don't like sharing my friends. Well--

...

I don't like that there could be an omega that has his attention more than me.

I bit my lip, before I tried smiling at Changbin. "So...you'll call me tonight?" I asked, purring softly at him.

"Yeah." He said, smiling back at me. "My whole night is free."

"He's specifying it cause he wants dirty things!"

I gasped when I heard the lewd words of Jisung, while Changbin whipped his head around to snarl at Jisung. I giggled shyly, while Changbin huffed and walked away from the two that were laughing at him.

"I can't believe he just yelled that in public." Changbin hissed as he looked like he was hauling ass to seclusion. I giggled louder, before I nuzzled my nose into my blanket to hide my smile from him.

"Was he right?" I asked as the alpha started to dig in a bag, conjuring up some earbuds. He didn't answer until he'd plugged in his earbuds, before he smiled at me.

"About what?" He asked, even if the knowing smile on his face gave him away.

"Are you gonna be naughty with me if I let you call me tonight?" I asked, my eyes narrowing playfully as they crinkled to my smile.

"Is that what you're hoping for?" He asked, returning my playful gaze with slyness mixed into his.

"Are you turning the question around because you're too scared to answer?"

"I'm just asking." He crooned. "I don't want to disappoint if that's what you want from me."

"Well I wouldn't want to make us do something tonight that we don't both want to do."

The corner of the alpha's lips twitched into a smirk. I giggled and buried my face down into my blanket, shy as I returned the flirting back at him.

"We'll see what happens when we get there, Seungmin."

I shivered when the alpha called me by my name. I peeked out of my blankets to smile at him, before I nodded.

"Okay." I agreed. "Until then, don't do anything bad in public, okay?" I said, before I showed him an innocent smile. "You can only do bad things to me, hyung."

He smiled, licking his lips as he looked like he was starting to get shy himself. He looked away from his phone screen like he was checking for anyone that might be near him, before he looked back down at his phone.

"I'll see you tonight, Minnie. I'm gonna go now."

"Okay." I said, before I gulped and showed him a little smile. "Are you gonna think of me today?"

"All day." He crooned softly, winking at me. I giggled at him, before I curled up in my bed and smiled wider at him.

"Bye, hyung."

"Bye, baby."

...

Even after Changbin had ended the call, I was still giddy and kicking my feet like a teenager after talking to their crush. I rolled around in my bed a few times, squealing happily before I jumped out of my bed to hurry up and get ready. Not for the call, of course--but for our night tonight. And any potential others we might have in the future.

It's hard to buy cute underwear without the opinion of another.

It's even harder to buy sexy underwear without knowing what the man it's for would think of it.

...

That's all that I kept thinking as I pouted at my ass in the mirror, trying to decide if I liked a pair of panties I wore or not. I'd usually just wear boxers--I've never been one to wear much else. So the concept of buying something like this was already foreign to me. But add on that I wanted to showcase them to an alpha tonight, and, well--

I'm scared that he won't like them.

...

Maybe sending him pictures before I buy them would be good? I'll know if he likes them or not before I spend my money--and it can get him anticipating more later when we're both home and alone.

I want to surprise him, but...

Maybe I can do that sometime in the future after I've learned how he feels about these different types of panties in the first place.

...

That was all the convincing I really needed. Though it took me a long time to get shots of each of the pairs on my ass that I wouldn't be embarrassed to send him...as much. I gulped as I checked the pictures one last time, before I sent them to the alpha.

Blue, pink, white or red?

GymDwaekki: Get all of them, my god.
You're so pretty, Minnie.
I wish I was there with you.

PuppyMinnie: I wanted an opinion in case they looked bad.
You don't think they'll make me look weird in my pants?

GymDwaekki: You don't need pants anymore.
Throw them out.

PuppyMinnie: ?? 😅

GymDwaekki: I wish I was with you.
It's probably better that I'm not though.
God, if I saw you in those in person, I don't think I'd be able to control myself.

PuppyMinnie: Maybe some day you'll get to slide them off of me yourself 😇

GymDwaekki: Only maybe?
I might go feral if that statement doesn't get confirmed for the future.

PuppyMinnie: The gentleman must wait a long time before he gets any cake.

GymDwaekki: The gentleman might refrost the cake with his own cream the first time they meet if the cake teases him anymore.

PuppyMinnie: Sweet cream belongs on the tongue.

GymDwaekki: 🥰
You're so perfect, baby.
I really wish I could touch you right about now.
You deserve all the praises your little heart desires.

I purred, trying not to let out giggles at the alpha's texts.

Okay, so he likes them. Right? I can't imagine he's being patronizing. So--

GymDwaekki is requesting a video call!

...Okay, definitely not patronizing.

PuppyMinnie: Too impatient to wait until tonight?

GymDwaekki: You declined 💔

PuppyMinnie: I'm in public.

GymDwaekki: I can be quiet 👀
Let me watch baby 🥹

PuppyMinnie: Nope.

GymDwaekki: So cruel 💔
You really are heartless 💔
Are you thinking of getting any more?

PuppyMinnie: I don't really want to spend much more than what I've gotten so far.
Even these four are pushing what I'd be willing to fork out on underwear.

GymDwaekki: Meh.
I don't know what the cute underwear omegas buy costs.
I just get the cheapest packs that will fit in stores.

Same. But I'm not confessing that to him.

PuppyMinnie: They're kind of expensive.
But I wanted to get new ones.

GymDwaekki: Can I be selfish and think it's for me? 👀

PuppyMinnie: It is for you.

GymDwaekki: 👀
Keep looking around for any you like, beautiful.
If you run over your budget, I'll send you some money.
But I want pictures in return 👀

PuppyMinnie: How could I accept money from you to buy underwear?
Scratch that, you don't think four pairs are enough for one night? 😅

GymDwaekki: Were we only going to do this for one more night?

PuppyMinnie: I wasn't planning on it...were you?

GymDwaekki: I would plan to do it every single night with you if I could get away with it.
And morning.
But you sleep in later than I do.

PuppyMinnie: I'm not against somnophilia.

GymDwaekki: You really are perfect.
I might just have to ask to skip the talking phase and beg you to be my boyfriend 🥰

PuppyMinnie: 😅

GymDwaekki: I'm kidding lol.

PuppyMinnie: I feel like we've both already decided that we're boyfriends and just want to delay being official 😅

GymDwaekki: So you want to be boyfriends already? 👀

PuppyMinnie: You could at least offer to take me on a date first.

GymDwaekki: Do you want me to take you on a date? 😂

PuppyMinnie: Do you not want to go on one together...?

GymDwaekki: I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that.
I mean, are you brave enough to meet me for a date?

PuppyMinnie: Oh.
Maybe not...
I like you, but I might be shy in person.

GymDwaekki: That's alright, cutie.
It was just a thought.
I would happily take you on a date.
I just don't want you to be uncomfortable.

PuppyMinnie: I don't think I'd be uncomfortable, just too shy to do much.
Would you dislike that?

GymDwaekki: No.
I would take care of you and try to reassure you the best I could.

PuppyMinnie: ☺️
I don't know...
A part of me thinks that if we wanted to play like that, we should maybe meet sooner rather than later.
If we're already boyfriends the first time we meet, I don't think I'll be brave enough to actually meet you.
It feels less daunting if we're still friends if we meet.

GymDwaekki: I mean, friends or boyfriends, we've still done naughty things together.

PuppyMinnie: Hush 😣

GymDwaekki: 😘
I'll move at whatever pace makes you happy though.

PuppyMinnie: I think that we should get to know each other better first.

GymDwaekki: Alright.
But I still get to see the panties tonight, right? 👀

PuppyMinnie: Yes lol.

GymDwaekki: 🥹
I'm serious about the money by the way.
I will send you some if it gets more pretty things for me to see you in 👀

PuppyMinnie: 😅
Four pairs is plenty for now, rascal.

GymDwaekki: You sure? 👀

PuppyMinnie: You aren't?

GymDwaekki: I don't know...
Do you think we could afford the whole store between us?

PuppyMinnie: No.
Even if we could, I would not let you even try to convince me of that.

GymDwaekki: 😮‍💨
You would look beautiful in all of them though.

PuppyMinnie: Thank you.
But flattery won't change my mind.

GymDwaekki: It's the truth, not flattery.
I have such a pretty omega 😚

PuppyMinnie: I'm not yours yet.

GymDwaekki: Yet 😏

PuppyMinnie: 🙄
I need to get out of this dressing room.
Are you home already?

GymDwaekki: No.
My friends dragged me to a bar.

PuppyMinnie: Are you getting drunk before our night together? 🙁

GymDwaekki: No.
I'm staying sober to drive these idiots home.
They got themselves banned from uber cause they wouldn't stop humping each other in someone's car.

PuppyMinnie: 😰

GymDwaekki: 😮‍💨
They're both lightweights so I'll drag them home in about an hour.
Will you be home in about two hours?

PuppyMinnie: Yes.
Are we gonna eat dinner together tonight?

GymDwaekki: What kind of food do you want tonight?

PuppyMinnie: Are you okay with Italian?

GymDwaekki: I can work with that.
Yeah.
Let me know where you want to order from.

PuppyMinnie: Okay.

GymDwaekki: 🥰
Bye, Minnie.

PuppyMinnie: Bye Binnie hyung.

GymDwaekki: Binnie? 👀

***

 

When nighttime came, Changbin called me after we'd both finished eating. We'd been texting off and on after I'd told him where I wanted to order food from, and we chose to eat off call. Which worked for me--because I didn't want him arguing about me muting again today.

About ten minutes after I finished eating was when Changbin video called me. I smiled at him the moment that the alpha was on my screen and subconsciously began to purr at him. He crooned back at me, while I slowly began to notice that the alpha's shoulders were bare from where I could just barely see them in frame. I gulped, before I showed him a wider smile.

"Did you have a good day today?" I asked, hoping to get the ball rolling so he wouldn't notice me checking him out.

"Every day is good if I get to see you." He said, showing me what may as well have been a signature sly smirk at this point.

I shushed him, making him chuckle at me as I curled up on my bed to try and find something to do with myself--mainly so I wouldn't fidget and make my nerves known. Though I didn't want to make it obvious that I was checking Changbin out, the alpha didn't seem to care one bit if I noticed him checking me out. Rather, he was being shameless as his eyes were down pretty low.

"What are you thinking?"

The alpha's eyes flitted up to mine when I spoke. Then, his eyes dropped back down to my pajama shirt and loose cotton pants.

"That you look beautiful. And delicious." He replied as his eyes went to the buttons of my shirt.

"Delicious?"

"Yes." He said as he laid back in his bed, more of his torso coming into my view. "Want to take that shirt off for me, baby?"

"Mmm..." I smiled, playing with the top button of my shirt. "No."

"No?" He quirked an eyebrow at me.

I stuck my tongue out at him playfully, while the alpha looked like he was still processing my refusal. He eventually hummed, before he nodded.

"Alright. Should we go straight to sleep then?" He asked, smiling at me as he rolled onto his side to get comfortable. I paused, before I pouted at him.

"You're ready for bed?"

"Yes. You look ready too." He said, indicating my pajamas. "Do you want to sleep on call together?"

"Um--" I bit my lip, before I hummed back at him. "If that's what you want to do." I said, before I pulled my blanket over myself.

He's bluffing, right? This is just him trying to tease me for saying no.

The alpha nodded and pulled his own blanket over his body. He held his phone back as he laid his head on his pillow, while my eyes were immediately drawn to his chest. My mouth went dry as I got to see the packed muscles of the alpha, blushing in an instant. I gulped, before I looked up at his expression. His lips quirked into a smile, but he didn't say anything. My eyes dropped back down to his chest, before I lowered my face below my blanket so he couldn't see the interest on my face.

I want him to pin me somewhere and fuck me so bad--

Do I really want to wait to get together with this man? What if he changes his mind if I beat around the bush? Will he move on to a different omega if I don't act quickly enough? He definitely has options with a face and body like that, and his personality got my attention so fast, so--

...

Should I stop being shy with him? I mean, as best as I can...?

Or at least, give him reason to want to stick with me?

...

Would stripping and doing naughty things with him even be enough? Should I speed up things with him, and...meet him? Maybe not behind closed doors already, but...

"...Hey, hyung?" I called, looking up at the alpha's face.

"Mm?" He crooned, smiling at me.

"Um..." I gulped, before I let go of my phone and hid under my blanket shyly. "Is...it okay if I change my mind on when we meet?"

"You want to change your mind on it?" He asked, sounding confused.

"If it's okay with you."

"Uh--" He paused. "I mean, I don't mind. If that's what you want to do, then it's fine with me. When were you thinking though?"

"...Tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" He asked in shock. "Uh--"

"If it isn't okay, then...that's fine." I said, peeking out from under the blanket to watch him from out of sight.

"I mean, it is. Tomorrow isn't really a good time though. I'm meeting up with all of my friends, so..." He cringed. "Unless you're comfortable with coming with us. There will be eight of us including you if you come."

"Oh..." I frowned. "Um..."

"Do you want me to cancel it?"

"No, of course not. I don't expect you to flake out on your friends for me. Some other time is fine. I don't want to intrude on your time with your friends."

"Nah, you wouldn't be intruding. I think I'd like your company there anyway. I'm just gonna be third wheeling them all. All of them are dating each other."

"Oh. So--" I bit my lip, before I picked up my phone so I could see him. "You're inviting me to go to your friend's get together...?"

"Yeah. Why not? You might feel a little more comfortable in a big group of people anyway, right? You won't be faced with only me."

"I might not only be faced with you, but a big group of new people might be...uncomfortable."

"So would you rather us meet alone for a first date?" He asked, showing me a sweet smile. "Whatever makes you most comfortable is fine with me, Minnie. I just want you to be happy."

"Can I think on it a little?" I asked as I sat up in bed, bringing my knees to my chest as I looked him over. "A part of me wants to meet you alone. But the other part is...a bit shy to meet you alone."

"You can have as long as you want to think on it. Well--until 7 PM. We rented a pool room to play. I was gonna play with my alpha friends and I think the omegas in our group were gonna order food and gossip or something. Would you be comfortable with that type of situation?"

"Um..." I frowned. "So...you'd be playing a game that I don't know how to play, and...the only others that wouldn't be playing are omegas that I don't know...?"

"I guess. But I won't play if you want my attention. Or we can teach you to play if you want to be with us."

"I don't know..." I sighed, before I shook my head. "It's probably better to forget about it. I think I'd be out of place and I wouldn't want to suddenly spring up me going too on your friends when they don't know me, and...it isn't like we've known each other for long either."

"Okay but I still like you. And my friends would probably get excited if I said I was bringing an omega with me. Well--maybe not at first, but I'm sure once the omegas got ahold of you, they'd be happy."

"You don't think your friends will like me?" I asked, giving him a nervous look.

"They will. They're just skeptical. They'd scope you out before they welcome you, but I doubt it would take long."

I laughed nervously, while the alpha just smiled as I got nervous. I looked away from him, trying to hide my nerves if even just a little. He tried crooning to soothe me, though it did little to actually comfort me.

"I promise they'll like you, baby. They're all really nice, I swear."

"I'm still nervous." I pouted. "If we did end up together, I'd have to eventually meet all of your friends anyway, would I?"

"I'd like it if you would. We get together pretty often." He said, before he sat up too and laid back against his headboard. "Everything will be okay, babe. You really don't have to come if you're uncomfortable. I would understand. We can always find some other time to meet."

"No, it's okay." I mumbled. "I'll...probably go. I just need time to wrap my head around it. I wasn't expecting to be this in my head tonight."

"I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault. I'm the one that brought it up anyway." I said, before I smiled at him. Though my smile soon turned shy as I hid my face behind my knees. "I feel like you're a really good alpha, and...my head is screaming at me that I should tie you down so you don't pass me by. I haven't been in a relationship in a really long time either, and...even when I was, it was back when I was too young to really know what I was doing anyway. So...it feels really good to have a nice alpha show some interest in me. I'm sorry if that behavior puts you off."

"It doesn't." He said, smiling reassuringly at me. "I like you a lot, Seungmin. Trust, if I wasn't into you, I would've stopped flirting by day two. I do hope you know that I'm not gonna just pass you by though. I'd like to be with you. And I want to bat down any insecurities you might have regarding us as soon as you even think them up. If you're worried about anything, please tell me. I want you to be happy and confident in us, yeah? So don't hide anything that you're thinking. I promise I'll hear out anything that you're worried about. Okay?"

"Okay." I agreed, even if I was still a little nervous about everything. He smiled at me, making me smile back at him.

"I wish I could give you a hug." He said, crooning at me. "I don't think I'm gonna take my hands off of you the first time we meet. So I hope you like hugs and cuddles."

I giggled, ducking my head back behind my knees shyly. He chuckled at me, before I heard the alpha moving again as he laid back down. He got comfortable in his bed, before he started to softly croon at me again.

"I wasn't expecting to be talking about feelings tonight honestly." He said as he fixed his hair that was getting messy as he laid down. "But I don't guess we need to move into naughty things so quickly again anyway. I don't want you thinking I'm only talking to you for that kind of stuff anyway."

"You don't want to do anything tonight?" I asked, peeking at him.

"Nah. I just want to reassure my cute omega." He winked at me. "Lay down, babe. I was serious about us sleeping on call before. I hope you don't get shy and hang up on me."

"I won't. But I might mute if we fall asleep together."

"Don't want me to hear you snoring?" He joked, making me puff up.

"I don't snore." I grumbled.

"Then don't mute." He cooed, before he grinned. "You can't mute every time we do something together, babe. You won't have the option when we meet in real life anyway."

"I know but my phone will pick up noises more than in real life." I said, before I bit my lip. "I don't want you to hear weird things from me."

"They're normal, cutie. You don't have to be ashamed of things like that."

"That doesn't make me want to make those noises in front of my man any more though."

"Your man?" He grinned, wiggling his eyebrows at me. "Possessive. I like it."

"Hush." I whined, before I flopped down onto my bed to curl up under my blanket. "You've been calling me so many pet names. I can call you my man."

"I like how confident you sound about it." He said, smirking at me. "I like the idea of you owning me."

I smiled at him, before I moved to grab my phone charger so I could plug up my phone. "Well...you have to own me too, right?"

The alpha's chest rumbled, showcasing how much he really liked that idea too. I giggled at him, before I started to purr softly at him.

"Are you ready to sleep?" He asked softly as he moved to plug up his phone too.

"Are you?" I asked as I was shifting around to get comfortable.

"About." He said, before he kissed the air and winked at me. "Good night, baby."

"Good night." I said, before I shyly blew him a kiss back. He crooned at me, before the alpha set down his phone beside him on his bed and started to get comfortable himself. I smiled, before I laid down my phone too to try and go to sleep. And though it was hard as my heart raced every time I heard him moving around, I eventually drifted off to sleep to the sound of his crooning.

 

***

 

For my entire ride to the pool hall, I was nervous as hell.

After spending all day fretting about it, I sent Changbin a message that I was gonna come two hours before the meet up time. I was lucky that the pool hall they were going to wasn't that far from my apartment, since I spent the majority of my time in those two hours frantically trying to figure out what to wear to be cute and put on some makeup to try and be cute for Changbin.

I'm so scared, but--

Before I had left, I had brushed my teeth three times to make sure that if he kissed me, I would taste like mint. I had also applied chapstick five times in the past hour to make sure that my lips were as soft as possible.

I'm really really scared. What if he sees me and he doesn't like me? Would he turn me away at the door if he doesn't like me? Is he gonna break up with me before we're even together? Will he ghost me after this?

I was on the verge of hyperventilating as I walked into the pool hall. I opened the door, got two steps inside, and--

"Oh! Seungmin!"

I flinched when I heard my name. Mostly because the voice that called it was definitely not Changbin, but the omega that I'd seen with him before. I looked at him with wide eyes when I saw the Jisung guy coming at me as fast as he reasonably could in a public building, before he grabbed me and grinned at me.

"Hey. Oh my god, you're so much cuter than I remember! Your makeup is so pretty, and--ooh! You smell so good! Changbin hyung is gonna eat you up!" He squealed, before he hugged me. "I don't know if the jerk bothered to introduce me to you or not, but my name is Jisung. I'm 24! How old are you?"

"24..." I mumbled, shy and panicking a bit as this omega was all up in my business before I'd even seen the man I came here for.

"Oh! I was born in September, what month are you born in?"

"September." I said, making the omega grin.

"Oh! Should we just call each other by our names then?" He asked, before he wiggled us back and forth excitedly. "I'm so happy to meet you! Changbin hyung has been single for so long and us omegas have been waiting for that jerk to finally even us out! I promise we'll all take care of you. Everyone else is already in the room. Are you ready to go and meet your boyfriend?" He asked mischievously.

"U-Um--" I sputtered, but the omega was already dragging me away to their rented pool room. I panicked as the omega hauled me off at the speed of light, and sucked in a nervous breath as he opened a door a minute later and dragged me inside against my will even as I grabbed the doorframe in my panic to try and slow us down. I had a feeling that I was putting off a sour distressed scent now, but the other omega didn't care if he noticed it. He yanked me into the room with a grin, before he shut it behind us before I could bolt back out in my panic.

Fight or flight, fight or flight, fight or flight, fight or fli--

While I was in the middle of my panic was when my eyes landed on Changbin. The alpha was holding a pool cue, looking surprised as he paused his aiming on a ball to look at me. Jisung grinned as he looked between us, before he showed Changbin that same mischievous grin he'd been showing me so far.

"Like him? Well you don't get him! Omegas come first!" He said, before he started to drag me along to a table where two other omegas sat. He pushed me down into a booth with the two, trapping me in on one side before he whispered in my ear. "Don't look at him. Just let him watch you all night." He winked at me as he laid his arm across my shoulders. Then, he smiled at the other two omegas and moved his arm right back off of my shoulders to start talking with the other two. I gulped, keeping my head down low as the three pretty much forgot my existence immediately, but I was trapped in the booth by Jisung.

I'm not even brave enough to look at Changbin so it hardly even matters if I look his way anyway...

The longer that I sat quietly in the booth though, the more that I found myself watching Changbin. Especially each time that the other three alphas in the room would tease him for 'suddenly being off his game because his omega was here' and 'needing to do better to impress him'. To which Changbin would barking at them all to shut up and that he'd kick all of their asses in front of their own omegas.

I gulped as I stared over at Changbin one particular time as the alpha was aiming a shot. I looked over the bulky arms of the alpha, biting my lip as in person, it was much more obvious how ripped he really was.

Is that man really possibly gonna be my boyfriend...?

I gulped, before I paused when I realized that I had an audience to my staring. I blushed when I made eye contact with Jisung, before I noticed that the other two omegas were watching me with little smiles too.

"It's nice to meet you, by the way." One of them spoke up, giving me a wider smile. "My name is Felix. I'm also 24, so you can just call me Felix." He said, before he nudged the other omega.

"I'm Jeongin." The other one said, giving me an awkward smile. "I'm 23, so you're my hyung."

"Oh..." I gulped, before I smiled at them both. "My name is Seungmin. Nice to meet you."

Both of them showed me sweet smiles, before Felix reached across the table to hold my hands that I only just noticed were trembling. He gave me a reassuring smile as he held my hands gently in his.

"I promise we're all nice. We were all so excited to meet you when Changbin hyung said he was inviting you. Jisung was excusing himself to the bathroom every few minutes to try and catch you before you arrived so he could escort you to the room." Felix said, making Jisung grin.

"I wanted to be the first one to see Changbin hyung's new omega in person. He hasn't dated in so long." Jisung said as he slung his arm back around my shoulders. "Excuse him if he's rusty on anything. He really is a good guy. I know he'll treat you right. If his lines are bad, just give him the benefit of the doubt. He's trying."

"I already like him regardless." I mumbled softly, leaning back into the booth so I couldn't be seen behind Jisung. "I haven't dated seriously before. My last boyfriend was back when I was like fourteen, so..."

"Ooooh." Jisung grinned. "So you're probably gonna experience a lot of firsts with Changbin hyung, huh?"

"...Probably. If he's interested in doing those things with me after this." I mumbled, my pessimism coming out as I lowered my head.

"Oh honey," Felix grinned. "Take it from his long time friends, he's definitely interested."

The other two omegas giggled at Felix's words, while I looked at him nervously.

"How do you know?"

"Well, he's never gone out of his way to flex his muscles every time he moves and he doesn't usually pose when he aims his shots." Jeongin whispered, before he indicated Changbin. "He's definitely trying to impress you right now. He wants your attention so bad."

I didn't answer, but my lips quivered as I tried inconspicuously glancing at Changbin. And sure enough, the alpha was sitting on the edge of the pool table and aiming a shot that didn't really look like it required what he was doing to make it happen.

"Are you sure?" I asked, looking back at each of the omegas. I received vigorous nods from each of them, before Jisung giggled and waved over at Changbin. I held my breath nervously when Jisung waved for Changbin's attention, who looked at the omega too fast for him to have not been watching us.

"Hyung, come here." Jisung called, making the alpha stare at him.

"...I'm playing pool." He said, though he didn't sound so sure of his own statement.

"You're turn isn't for three more rounds. Get over here." Jisung scolded, before he aggressively waved him over. Changbin gulped, his eyes shifting to me, before he set his cue against the table and came over to us.

"What?" The alpha asked as he stood over Jisung, not looking at me a single time.

"You aren't gonna say hi to him?" Jisung asked, raising an eyebrow at the alpha.

The alpha looked put off by Jisung's question. He glanced at me, but quickly looked back at Jisung when he saw me staring back at him.

"Aren't you four busy? I don't want to interrupt."

"Stop being a coward and say hi to him. You aren't slick. You've been staring at us." Felix chipped in, making the alpha softly growl at him.

"Don't growl at my boyfriend." One of the alphas scolded from across the room as he was in the middle of aiming a shot.

"Shut up, Minho hyung." Changbin complained, while Felix blew a kiss at his apparent boyfriend.

Then I guess the last guy that I don't know the name of is Jeongin's boyfriend?

Hm.

I bit my tongue, trying to get something to do so I wouldn't bite at my lip and make my feelings more obvious. I looked up at Changbin as he bickered with the omegas about whether or not he was staring at us, observing the alpha as he was too busy arguing--and losing said argument--to see that I was watching him.

"...Hyung."

...

All three omegas went quiet, and Changbin froze and looked at me when I spoke. He stared at me for a few seconds, before he hummed like he only just thought to respond.

"Hi." I said, showing him a smile.

.

.

.

I couldn't help but giggle along with the other three omegas when Changbin's ears turned red the longer that he stared at me after my greeting. He showed me a smile to mirror my own, before he took a step back.

"Hey." He mumbled, his voice shaking his nerves. The other three omegas busted out laughing at Changbin's unconfidence, while I showed the alpha my best sweet smile as he retreated back to the other alphas. He got claps on the back from each of them after he'd gotten picked on by the omegas, and the alpha kept his back to us now that his lack of confidence was obvious.

He's being really cute. Is he that nervous to talk to me?

Honestly, it is making me feel better that he's shy too. That means he likes me, right?

...Probably. About ten minutes after things had cooled off, the alphas kept playing their game and the other three omegas were trying to include me in their gossip about one of Felix's coworkers that he apparently had it out for--which according to Jisung and Jeongin, never happened with Felix and they kept gasping at every single thing that Felix said that his coworker did to make him mad. Meanwhile, I was listening, but not really reacting much. Occasionally, one of the omegas would pop in a question to me to ask about me, but they mostly just traded gossip like Changbin said they would. With said gossip only really stopping when an employee appeared at the door with two baskets of food and laid it on the table for us.

"Did one of you guys order food?" Jisung asked with a frown, looking over at the alphas that were rubbing their cues with chalk.

"Changbin did." One of the alphas said, indicating Changbin who still had his back to us as he was putting chalk on his cue.

"Oh, trying to win points with the pretty omega?" Felix asked, grinning Changbin's way.

"Shut up and eat it." Changbin grumbled, earning giggles once again.

"He likes you." Jisung cooed at me, nudging me playfully while I blushed at the teasing of the other omega. I shook my head embarrassedly, but all I got were disagreeing giggles from the others.

"He definitely does." Jeongin whispered. "It's kind of cute how hard he's trying."

"I know right?" Felix cooed. "How did you two even meet? Changbin hyung won't say anything about it."

"Cause me and Chan hyung dared him to send a dick pic to a random number while we were drunk like a week ago. We were in Chan hyung's studio playing truth or dare while Chan hyung's computer was updating."

"Oh!" Jeongin gasped. "Wait--so you two met over a picture of Changbin hyung's dick?" He asked with wide eyes.

"Yes." I cringed, blushing as Jisung spilled that info so casually. "He started flirting with me after I told him my age."

"You should've shot him down. That's so unromantic." Felix rolled his eyes. "You could've done better."

"I mean, he's been really sweet with me. He's been very vocal about trying to make me comfortable with everything." I said, smiling sheepishly. "Is...that not good alpha behavior?"

"It is, but it's also the bare minimum for an alpha to be respectful. Don't let that cloud your judgment." Jeongin said, before he smiled at me. "If it were any other man, I'd say ditch him. But I'm sure Changbin hyung will treat you well. None of us ever met any of his previous partners, but he's a good friend. He takes care of us omegas a lot any time our boyfriends can't. He really is a great guy. Very protective, too."

"Oh." I blushed, my lips quivering as I tried to contain a smile. The omegas giggled at me when I got happy, before Jisung scooted closer to me to whisper to me.

"Changbin hyung has a car. Do you want us to try and pressure him into taking you home after this? You two could get some alone time together."

"No, that's okay." I said, smiling at him. "I don't think either of us are ready for that."

"Well ignoring each other in the same room won't magically make you ready for it." He pointed out. "It wouldn't hurt. Maybe he'll man up and kiss you at the end of the night. And walk you to your door, too."

"Um--" I gulped, biting my lip. "A kiss is a bit much on a first meeting, don't you think? We aren't even dating..."

"Yes you are." Felix snorted. "Just because you aren't official doesn't mean you aren't dating."

"You two could always go out to dinner together after we all head home. You can make him take you on a date." Jeongin suggested, making me frown.

"I don't want to pressure him into doing anything. Besides...I do have work I need to do tomorrow, so...it's probably better if I don't stay out late."

"Oh, you have work in the morning?" Jisung asked, pouting. "Are you gonna have to leave soon? You just got here."

"No, I have time. I work from home, so...I just have to do work tomorrow. Not at any particular time. But it does take a long time, so..."

"All the more reason to jump into your boyfriend's car rather than rely on a bus system." Felix said, smiling at me.

"Doesn't Changbin hyung take the bus system too? He mentioned it to me before that he was on a bus..."

"He uses the bus system frequently cause he's too lazy to drive. But he has a car. I know he drove here cause he picked me up." Felix replied as he grabbed a fry in one of the baskets that had been delivered.

"He picked you up?" I asked, pausing.

...Ah.

The jealousy kick is back.

"Yeah. My boyfriend came here straight from work and we would've been late if he came to get me. I don't have a car and I'm not riding the bus system if I don't have to."

...Right.

That's fair. I shouldn't be jealous. They're friends and Felix has a boyfriend. I'm just...

...Possessive.

The three omegas seemed to clock my agitation immediately. I chewed on my lip and avoided looking at them, while they were exchanging glances with each other.

"Just so we're clear early on," Jisung whispered, smiling at me. "We knew him first. We can be friends or enemies. It's your choice."

"I don't want to be enemies." I deadpanned. "Sorry. Is it that obvious?" I laughed awkwardly.

"It's practically written on your face, honey." Felix said, eyeing me. "I would get it if we were single and around your man. But we're all in relationships. Don't act like that with us."

"I'm really sorry." I mumbled, lowering my head. "I'm getting really possessive feelings." I said honestly, glancing over at the alphas to make sure that none of them had picked up on our conversation. "Hyung seems like a really good alpha and I don't want him to pass me up. I'm scared that he's gonna lose interest in me before I even get a chance with him. I don't want him to move on to a different omega."

"Oh please, that man hasn't done much more than a few one night stands in the past like--what, seven years? You're the first omega he's shown his friends in the entire time most of us have even known him. He's not gonna pass you up. If he does, it would probably be aggressive behavior towards his omega friends that would do it." Jeongin said, before he reached across the table to hold my hand. "You just met us, so I get it if you're standoffish. But we're gonna be seeing each other a lot now. We get together like this every weekend. If Changbin hyung brought you once, he's gonna bring you more. It makes no sense for us to fight or hate each other." Jeongin said, before he indicated Jisung and Felix. "These two can attest to how stupid it is. These idiots switched boyfriends and used to fight tooth and nail with each other. If they can get along now, there's no reason why you can't get along with us when none of us want your man anyway."

What?

Jisung and Felix just giggled at Jeongin's words, while I stared at them in shock.

"What do you mean they switched boyfriends?" I asked in horror. "What?"

"I used to be with Chan hyung." Felix said, pointing out the man that I'd seen kissing Jisung on call with Changbin. "We were childhood friends and dated each other. I'm with Minho hyung now, who was Jisung's childhood friend. We both dated our childhood friends and we broke up with them and ended up switching boyfriends. So I'm with Minho hyung now and Jisung is with Chan hyung."

...And these two are still friends...?

They all looked amused by my horror. Jisung scooted closer to me in the booth and grinned at me, before he hugged me.

"So, if me and Felix can get along after that, you can get along with us while you're trying to secure your man. Okay? We all try to be nice and understanding with each other, and we don't judge for anything. I mean, unless you decide to go out a murder someone or something. We'll judge you then. But--"

"What Jisung means," Jeongin cut off the other omega. "Don't worry about us. We'll help you secure your man, and you better be nice and friends with us once you get him. Cause we'll raise hell and break you both up if you don't. Capiche?"

"...Yeah." I agreed, cringing. "I'll try to keep my feelings in check."

"That's all we ask for." Felix said, before he pointed at the food. "Now eat and gossip with us. This is omega time. And frankly, Changbin hyung bought these for you but I haven't eaten all day and I am very liable to steal them all. So eat."

The other three omegas giggled, before Jisung grabbed a fry and made me eat it. I whimpered at him, but after I obediently ate the fry, the other three omegas began to eat some too. And though it was hard at first, I did feel a bit better talking with them after that chat.

These omegas are with me, not against me. They want to help me. So...

I'll do my best to be good to them. I shouldn't let any possessive feelings towards Changbin ruin any friendship I could possibly have with these omegas. They all seem really sweet, so...

...

I eventually did find myself loosening up with them. Though it helped that Jisung suggested we order alcohol, and I was a bit tipsy on a beer before long. Soon, it was time to leave. And thankfully, none of the other omegas tried to get Changbin to take me home, even when the alpha did eventually get brave enough to approach me after the room's reservation time was up.

...

"...Hey."

I paused, looking back at Changbin with wide eyes when he approached me as I was stacking up the trash and dishes after the other three omegas had ran to their alphas for attention. I gulped, smiling at him when I saw him. I looked up at the taller alpha, biting my lip as he was looking me over too.

"Hi." I said as I wiped off my hands with the napkins and laid them in the rest of the trash I'd plated for the busser.

He smiled at me when I replied, before he stepped back as I moved away from the table. He opened his mouth like he wanted to say something, but he paused like he wasn't sure of what he even wanted to say. He smiled again, before he held out his hand to me.

"It's nice to meet you. In person, I mean." He said, while I looked down at his hand in surprise. I reached out mine to shake his, hoping he wouldn't notice that my hand was trembling as our hands touched.

"It's nice to meet you too." I replied, before I gulped at him. "I had fun. Your friends are really nice."

"I'm glad." He said as he shook my hand, while my eyes went right back down to our hands when I felt the alpha intertwining our fingers. "I'm sorry I didn't spend much time with you. I didn't expect to feel this shy about it." He laughed awkwardly. "I swear I don't usually act like this."

"It's okay. I understand. I mean--I feel it too." I said, before I lowered my gaze away from the alphas. "I...do hope that...you won't change your mind on me after seeing me in person. I was fretting about it a lot today. And...I was really scared to come. It feels really scary to be face to face with you like this now. I really don't want to disappoint you."

"I'm not disappointed at all." He said, before the alpha's grip on my hand tightened just a bit and began to raise my hand up. "I haven't changed my mind on you one bit. I don't think I have the confidence to show it right now if I'm being totally honest with you. But...trust me. I still want you." He mumbled, before he placed a light kiss on the back of my hand. My breath hitched, my eyes lighting up when the alpha kissed my hand. He smiled at my reaction, before he let go of my hand and let me shoot it away to hide it behind my other hand, holding it where he'd kissed it. The look on his face made it obvious that my own was red, as my reaction seemed to give the alpha a slight confidence boost.

"O-Okay." I sputtered softly, making the alpha smile at me. He looked amused by my slight panic, before he winked at me.

"You're so cute." He said, before he softened his smile and thankfully--changed the subject to one that my heart could handle better. "Do you want me to give you a ride home? You took a bus here, didn't you?"

"No, that's okay." I quickly said, smiling nervously at him. "I have to stop somewhere before I go home anyway, so--" I lied, before I gulped. "I'll take the bus."

"Are you sure? I don't mind taking you to your pitstop." He said, making me look at him with wide eyes.

"Um...yeah." I mumbled softly. "Sorry, I think I'm still a bit nervous to be alone with you like that, so..."

...

I stared up at the alpha shyly as he stared to smile at my words. I had a feeling he knew good and well that I was lying just to avoid him taking me home--but thankfully, the alpha was kind enough to not point it out.

"Can I wait for the bus with you since it's dark then?"

"You don't have to." I said, smiling at him. "I'll really be okay, hyung."

"I'd be a really shitty alpha if I didn't make sure you at least got on the bus safely though." He pointed out, before he opened his mouth to say something again. But before he could, he got a shove from one of the other alphas.

"Leave him alone dude, you're coming on too strong. Can't you tell?" The alpha asked, while I looked at him with wide eyes as he began to bicker with Changbin--while Jeongin was holding his arm and purring at his alpha. Jeongin smiled at me and glanced over his alpha, before he reached out to grab my hand.

'Come on' he mouthed, winking at me.

Ah--

I obediently went with Jeongin when he pulled me away. Admittedly feeling better when he saved me from Changbin, even if I didn't feel like he was coming on too strongly like Jeongin's boyfriend had said. The omega rescued me from the situation, before he swung his hand back and forth with mine as we walked to the exit.

"That one was my boyfriend, Hyunjin hyung. He's the last one that you didn't get a name for, right?" He said as he started us down the street towards the bus stop. "I told him to go and pick a fight with Changbin hyung. Jisung hyung told me to get you two apart for him."

"He did?" I asked, furrowing my brows.

"Yeah." He said, before he smiled at me. "He said he had something to give you and didn't want Changbin hyung to see. He and Felix hyung are already at the bus stop with their alphas."

"Oh." I frowned. "What does he want to give me?" I asked confusedly.

"I don't know." He shrugged as we got close to the bus stop, where sure enough, all the others were at. The two alphas were leaning on the bus stop with crossed arms, looking disgruntled to be out in the cold at a bus stop when I assume they had cars. I smiled when I realized that Jisung and Felix were both wearing jackets that were definitely not their's--which would explain the disgruntled faces on the alphas--and the shivering that I could now see.

How sweet--

I looked at Jeongin, who was also wearing a jacket that was too big for him when I checked. I bit my lip, trying not to smile wider when I realized that their alphas had all sacrificed their jackets to give to their omegas.

I feel a bit jealous, but...

Not so much the way I was before.

"Hey!" Jisung grinned when he saw us coming, before he produced a large sweater out of the jacket that it looked like he'd been hiding. Everyone else seemed to pause when he conjured it out of his jacket, and I looked at each of them confusedly when they all began to snort as they tried holding in their laughter.

"Hey, um--" I frowned at him. "Jeongin said you had something to give me...?" I asked, tilting my head at him.

"Yeah!" He giggled mischievously as he made his way over to me, before he handed me the sweater in his hands just as the bus pulled up to the bus stop. I looked down at the jacket, frowning at it before I looked at the bus as it's squeaky brakes stopped and I could hear the air of whatever the fuck makes busses puff air out when they stop puff out. The doors to the bus opened, and people started to board the bus.

"What is this?" I asked, doubling taking between Jisung and the bus awkwardly.

"Changbin hyung's sweater. I stole it for you." He giggled, before he pushed me towards the bus. "Take it with you! You can scent it until you get to meet him again!" He said, as he got me to the doors of the bus to load onto it. "Hurry and get home safely! Don't lose his sweater, that's his favorite one!"

"What?" I asked in horror as the omega shoved me up the steps of the bus with the sweater in my hands. Jisung just grinned at me as he hopped back off the bus, and the doors of the bus closed before I could process what he'd said.

"Please take a seat, sir." The bus driver said, making me nod quickly at him.

Oh god...

Why did Jisung have to do this?

...

I sighed as I paid the bus fare, before I went to sit down and held the sweater tightly to make sure I definitely wouldn't lose it. Despite it being laid in my lap, I could still smell the heavy chamomile scent on it as if it was pressed right up against my nose. I gulped, and though I felt nervous to have his sweater when Changbin definitely didn't know I had it--a part of me was really happy to be leaving with a piece of the man that had already claimed him as my alpha.

I hope my instincts don't drive me to cuddle with his sweater. It would be so embarrassing if I got to return it to him soon and it was covered in my scent--and made it obvious that I had been scenting it.

He would tease me so bad for that, wouldn't he?

...

Still, I smiled the entire ride back to my home street. And when I went up to my apartment, I laid the sweater on my pillow before I went to remove my makeup and take a shower.

After my shower, I was surprised to find a few texts from Changbin already sitting on my phone as well as three missed calls. I furrowed my brows at the missed calls, before I opened up his texts--and promptly gasped at all the texts I saw.

[9:31 PM]

GymDwaekki: I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable.
You aren't gonna ghost me, are you?
You aren't sleeping, right?
Minnie?

[9:46 PM]

GymDwaekki: Baby?

[9:58 PM]

GymDwaekki: 🙁

[10:12 PM]

PuppyMinnie: I'm so sorry, I was in the shower.
Hyung?

GymDwaekki: Hey.

PuppyMinnie: I'm sorry.
You didn't make me uncomfortable, really.
I was just shy.
I'm sorry I made you feel like I wasn't okay with you.
I'm also sorry that I left while you were talking to me.
Jeongin told me Jisung had something to give me and he pushed me onto the bus after he gave it to me...😅
I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye.

GymDwaekki: It's okay.
I'm sorry I overreacted.
Are you sure I didn't make you uncomfortable??

PuppyMinnie: No, you didn't.
I admit I was nervous to let you take me home or wait at the bus stop with me, but it was more so because I was shy.
You really didn't make me uncomfortable, I was just nervous.

GymDwaekki: Okay.
What did Jisung even give you?
He didn't have time to have gotten you a meeting gift or whatever?

PuppyMinnie: Um...😅

GymDwaekki: ???

PuppyMinnie: He gave me your sweater...

GymDwaekki: I KNEW THAT BRAT WAS THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY SWEATER GOING MISSING
EVERYONE LIED TO ME

PuppyMinnie: 😭...
I'm sorry, he made me take it and shoved me onto the bus with it.
I'll give it back to you as soon as I can.

GymDwaekki: No, it's okay, babe.
I'm just glad to know I didn't lose it.
I know Jisung's ways anyway.
He probably would've tried to force you to wear it if you hadn't of taken it from him.

PuppyMinnie: 😰

GymDwaekki: 😂
Anyway, are you going to bed now?

PuppyMinnie: I probably should.
I need to get a lot of work done tomorrow.

GymDwaekki: Alright.
I need to go and take a shower, so you'll probably already be asleep before I can call you tonight.
I guess that means we aren't sleeping on call tonight lol.

PuppyMinnie: 🙁

GymDwaekki: Aww.
Did you enjoy it that much?

PuppyMinnie: I did like it...
I've never gone to sleep and woken up to crooning before.

GymDwaekki: I stayed in bed later than I usually would just so my baby would hear it 🥰

PuppyMinnie: ☺️
If I stay up a little longer, can we call tonight too?

GymDwaekki: Of course.
Are you gonna be able to stay awake that long?

PuppyMinnie: Maybe.
Would it be possible for you to call me now?

GymDwaekki: You want to come into the shower with me? 👀

PuppyMinnie: You can leave your phone on your bed, sir.

GymDwaekki: 😂
Yeah, I can call you now.

GymDwaekki is requesting a video call!

I answered the alpha's call immediately. I smiled at him the moment that I saw him as I walked across my apartment to go to my bed. He crooned at me when he saw me as he was setting up his phone on the charger.

"I'm gonna go shower. Good night, baby." He said, smiling at me.

"Good night." I said, purring at him as I sat on my bed. I watched as he left my view, before I laid my phone on my nightstand and went to go and change into my pajamas from my robe. Then, I crawled into my bed and curled up with my phone, reading all of three pages in a book on my phone before I'd fallen asleep with my face nuzzled into Changbin's sweater on my pillow.

***

The next morning, I woke up to croons erupting from my phone. Very loud ones that made me smile as soon as I woke up. I began to softly purr as I heard the croons right next to my ear, the scent of chamomile filling my senses as a soft hoodie brushed up against my nose. I clutched it in my hands, tucking my nose into it and stretching in my bed.

"Good morning, beautiful."

"Good morning." I rasped, yawning before I put my nose right back into the sweater to scent. I heard soft chuckles as I nuzzled my face into the sweater and opened my eyes to peek at my phone that laid propped up by my blanket. I could see Changbin in all of his shirtless glory, his hair a fluffy mess and sleep still apparent on his face as he must've woken up recently too. He smiled at me when I looked at him, making me smile back.

Well, until it occurred to me that I was cuddling with his hoodie right in front of him.

Though when I realized that, I didn't move away from it. I just blushed and buried my face into it, while Changbin cooed at me as I got shy. I whined at him, but it was too late to play it off anyway.

"You're so cute." He said as he looked me over. "I got out of the shower last night and saw you cuddling with my hoodie and you were still cuddling with it even after I woke up."

"It smells good." I mumbled dismissively. "You know I like tea."

"And you know I smell like tea." He said, smirking at me. "You know damn well that it isn't actual tea that you're smelling on my hoodie."

"It still smells like tea." I pouted, before I pushed myself up into a sitting position--his hoodie coming with me as I kept a death grip on it even as I was awake and moving around. I could hear Changbin crooning from my phone even as I was across my apartment--which was impressive, even if my apartment was just a one room studio. I could see my phone from my kitchen as I made a cup of chamomile--like I needed more hits of the scent this morning.

My senses are already full of it. I may or may not have Changbin's sweater draped around my shoulders now.

.

.

.

Which is weird.

So I took off my pajama shirt and put on his sweater instead, erupting into purrs as his large sweater ate me whole and surrounded me heavily in the scent of chamomile--my alpha's scent--without me even having to do anything to obtain it anymore. I finished up making my tea, before I went to sit on my bed with it. I sat down--and looked down at my phone when I heard Changbin groan.

"Oh my god you're so fucking cute." He said, grinning as he checked me out. "Do you want more of my hoodies, baby? You're all over that one."

"Is that a genuine offer?" I asked, looking down at him in between sips at my tea. "I can't guarantee that they'll make it back to you."

"I don't mind. I like seeing my omega in my clothes." He said, showing me a smile. "I should've made an effort to spend more time with you yesterday. I miss you already."

I smiled at that. "I miss you too." I said, purring at him. "I'm sorry I'm nervous like I am. I really wish it was easier to talk to you in person. Like it is like this."

"It'll get easier." He said as he started to sit up. "You can take as long as you need, Minnie. I can wait for you."

"That's sweet, but I do still feel bad. I want to be close to you. And I want to get over the way I'm feeling so I can be."

"Don't push yourself, babe. It's really fine." He said, before he smiled at me. "Me and my friends get together every weekend like we did last night. You're welcome to join us anytime that you're free for it. Would you feel more comfortable if we kept meeting around others each week? Do you think that would help?"

"It might. I did enjoy talking to your omega friends after I settled in a bit."

"Well, we do something fun together like that every weekend. Usually on Saturdays. I don't know where we'll go this Saturday, but I can keep you posted on it if you want to try and come with us again."

"I'll let you know." I said, showing him a smile. "I do need to get started on work though. Do you have anything that you need to do?"

"I've got some textbook reading to do." He groaned, flopping back down on his bed and letting his phone fall out of his hand where the screen went black. "Are you gonna hang up?"

"No. We can stay on call if you want to. But I'd prefer us mute each other so we don't get distracted."

"That'd be for the best. I'm fine with whatever if it prolongs our call. I don't want to let go of you yet."

"Okay." I said, before I got up off of my bed. "I'm gonna mute and walk away from my phone."

"Why are you walking away from me?" The alpha asked, picking up his phone to frown at me. "Take me with you."

"You can't come and shower with me. You're being confined to my desk."

"I could definitely come and shower with you." He quirked his eyebrows at me. "Take me with you, baby."

"Nope. You're going to desk jail." I said, muting myself with a smile before I laid my phone face down on my desk. I heard him groaning and growling from my phone, but I ignored him and went into my bathroom to take my shower with the serenades of a grumpy alpha.

When I finished up with my shower and walked out of my bathroom, I could no longer hear him. I smiled when I realized that he'd given up and muted like I had, before I went to my dresser to find clothes to wear. I dried off and finished up the last bits of my morning routine, before I put Changbin's hoodie back on so I could smell my alpha while I worked.

I have to draw a date scene today. I wonder how that will pan out?

I sat down at my desk with my now cold tea and set up all of my work stuff, before I flipped my phone over so I could see Changbin's end of the call. And paused when I saw where he'd parked his phone camera--with a clear view of his relaxed abs and a pair of tight jeans that he must've changed into--and gracefully omitted a shirt--as his phone appeared to me laying halfway off of his desk.

He did that on purpose. There is no way he accidentally positioned his phone to show his abs and crotch.

I rolled my eyes at the alpha, even if he couldn't see it with his phone turned the way it was. I got on with my work, not dwelling on what Changbin was doing or thinking as I sketched out each panel. I occasionally looked over at Changbin as he eventually picked up his phone to play on it, before he laid it back down properly with the ceiling being my view. I smiled each time that the alpha seemed to get distracted, before I would huff at myself for letting the alpha distract me from my work. I stared down at the panel in front of me, the gentle hand of my top MC holding my bottom MC's cheek. I had sketched out their lips as they brushed together, with the remaining lines of me temporarily giving up on drawing water for the pool they were in making the whole panel look messy. I sighed as I stared over the panel, before my eyes drifted over to my phone.

I don't know what I expected to happen, really.

I wish he'd have tried to kiss me yesterday. I know it's weird to want that on a first meeting, but...

My pencil hovered over the lips of the top MC, lightly gliding over the panel. My thoughts wandered to Changbin's lips, internally comparing them to the lips of my MC.

I think Changbin's are thicker. Softer.

...

I gulped, not really paying much mind to it as I started to redraw my MC's lips to be slightly thicker.

He does look better like this. His lips were too thin before.

Then again, I guess most manhwa artists don't really put much emphasis on lips. Definitely not the tops. I don't typically even color in mine's. It's just not really the focus point to me.

Should it be?

...

I cared a lot about how my lips would've looked and felt for Changbin yesterday. I really wanted my lips to be perfect if he had tried to kiss me. So...

I sighed, before I set aside the panel that had me in my head so much. Though right behind it in my stack was just another panel that had been giving me issues--I blushed when my eyes landed on one dedicated to a sex scene between the two MCs. I covered my face exasperatedly, my eyes roaming over the two MCs that I'd stopped drawing before because I wasn't sure if the position I had had them in was even a viable sex position.

How is the bottom gonna have their feet on the top's thighs and ride them backwards like that? Is that even a feasible position to ride in? How would you even do it?

I scoffed at it, judging the panel with narrowed eyes. I moved my pencil to start erasing it for a different position, just to jump when I heard Changbin's voice.

"How is work faring on your side?" He asked as I heard a can being popped open. I looked over at my phone with wide eyes to see Changbin as he was taking a sip of a soda, looking bored out of his mind.

"It's going fine." I said, before I paused when I remembered I was muted. I reached over to unmute myself, before I picked up my phone to smile sheepishly at him. "It's fine."

"Oh?" He looked amused. "Your face is very red."

"Hush." I grumbled. "Should you be doing your textbook reading?"

"Twenty pages is enough for one sitting. If I do them all at once, my brain might actually melt." He said as he set aside his drink. "Can I see what you're working on?" He asked as he propped up his phone on his desk and laid his head on his arms to watch me.

"...No."

"Is it because you're drawing something spicy?" He asked, winking at me.

"...No..." I averted my gaze.

He chuckled, clearly not believing me as I pouted and set down my phone. "I already know you draw it, babe. Why can't I see it? You don't want your alpha to see what you think of?"

"You aren't my alpha yet."

"The keyword is yet." He said, smiling at me. "Are you afraid that I'll go looking for your book and read it?"

"I wasn't before, but now I am." I hissed. The alpha laughed, before he showed me a grin.

"Can I please see it, baby? I want to see what you're doing."

"I'm not even doing anything." I huffed. "I zoned out."

"Dirty thoughts?"

"No." I denied immediately. "Just...thoughts."

"About what?"

...

I eyed the alpha the more that he was being nosy. He smiled playfully at me, not the least bit bothered by the look I was giving him. I sighed, before I looked away from him.

"I'm just judging one of the panels. I was just about to redraw it."

"Why? You don't like it?" He asked, sitting up when I confessed.

"It's not that. I just don't really think the anatomy is feasible."

"Ohhh." He grinned. "So you're struggling with sex positions."

"I am not." I hissed, but the alpha ignored my denial.

"Let me see it. Maybe I can help." He said as he leaned forward closer to his phone. "I've done a lot of positions."

"Oh, congrats." I glared at him. "I wanted to know that."

"Hey, we can do them all together too." He said, smirking at me. "Any position you want, I can do you in it."

"Fuck off." I complained, while the alpha just grinned at me.

"Are you jealous?" He asked, making me pout and side eye him.

"I don't want to hear about you with any other omegas in the past." I said, before I looked away from him. "I don't like it."

"Okay, baby." He crooned. "I'm sorry, I won't talk like that again."

I glanced at him, but sighed when he kept smiling at me with a playful gaze tinkling in his eyes. I looked back away from him, before I picked up my phone to show him the panel I'd drawn.

"Oh--" The alpha mumbled, sounding surprised when he saw it. I bit my lip as I let him get a good look at it, before I turned my phone away from it and looked at him.

"It doesn't look like it's physically possible." I said, frowning at him.

"It is. Though if you're gonna do a position like that, I would put the other guy's hands on the bottoms waist. It doesn't make sense for neither of them to be holding onto each other."

"For balance?" I guessed, making the alpha nod.

"That. And so the top can help him ride. It takes a lot of strength to mate in a position like that."

"So I should change it?" I asked, looking at him.

"Nah. Just improve it." He shrugged. "Have the top guide him. Then it will be perfectly physically possible. It will just be strenuous."

"Ah..." I averted my gaze. "Okay."

I chewed on my lip as I tried to figure out a way to hand the top hold onto the bottom's waist rather than resting at his sides. I pouted the more that I resketched it, while Changbin sipped away at his drink and appeared to be scrolling on his phone. I leaned in closer to my drawing as I got down to the finer details of the top's hands clutching the waist of the bottom, before I paused when I heard a weird noise coming from my phone. I looked over, to find Changbin frowning.

"I'm gonna put you on hold, babe. Jisung is calling me." He said, crooning at me. "I'll be back in a minute."

"Oh--okay." I said, gulping as I picked up my head to watch as my screen changed after he'd put me on hold. I pouted when my alpha left, even if it was temporary.

Why is Jisung calling him?

I chewed on my lip and stared at my phone quietly as I waited for Changbin to come back. With the alpha reappearing a few minutes later, I looked up at him with a pout.

"Aww." He cooed the moment he saw me. "You're so cute, baby."

I curled my lip at him, before I purred and smiled at him.

"What did Jisung want?" I asked curiously, not really thinking about the nosy question.

"He wanted your phone number."

"My number? Did you give it to him?" I asked, furrowing my brows at him.

"Yes. You two seemed to get along, so I didn't think you'd mind. Do you?"

"No. Though I am concerned on why he wanted my number."

"If he calls, just don't answer." The alpha shrugged. "Not much he can do if you don't answer him."

"I don't want to be mean." I said, before I picked up my phone as I received a text from an unknown number. "And...I think he just messaged me."

"You better not ditch me for him. I will riot."

"I don't have to ditch you. It isn't like I can't text him and have a call running at the same time." I said as I made a contact for Jisung and opened up his texts--as the omega was spamming me with more while I was making him a contact. Changbin looked more and more disgruntled with each ding my phone made, but I ignored him to see what Jisung wanted.

QuWOKKA: HEY, THIS IS JISUNG!
SAVE MY NUMBER!
THIS IS FELIX'S NUMBER
***-***-****
THIS IS JEONGIN'S NUMBER
***-***-****
WE WERE GONNA GO OUT TONIGHT FOR DINNER TOGETHER, WANT TO COME?

"What does he want?" Changbin grumbled as he watched me tap away at my phone as I saved Felix and Jeongin's numbers.

"He's asking me if I want to go to dinner with him, Felix and Jeongin." I said, making the alpha puff up.

"Are you gonna go?" He asked, frowning at me. "You said you wouldn't ditch me."

"I don't want to refuse him." I said sheepishly, smiling at him. "You don't want me to get along with your friends?"

"I do, but--" He growled softly and lowered his head. "I also don't want to share your time. We're so early on in our relationship. I want to hog you."

"We aren't in a relationship yet, sir."

"Yet." He huffed, pouting when I rejected him.

"Why don't you just come with us then?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him. "I'm sure they wouldn't mind bringing their alphas along."

The alpha continued to growl, though he did seem to be considering the idea. I smiled at him as he thought on it, before he gulped.

"Are you gonna sit with me?" He asked, making me smile.

"Will you hold my hand if I do?" I asked softly, biting my lip shyly.

"I'll do anything you want me to, baby." He crooned. "Okay, maybe dinner with friends isn't that bad. But ask him if they're even willing to do that first. If not, then you better stay with me." He pouted, curling his lip at me to act cute.

"We'll see what I choose." I said, sending him a playful smile before I sent Jisung a text back.

PuppyMinnie: It isn't that I wouldn't like to, but Changbin hyung is getting jealous that you're taking my time from him.
I might have to take a rain check if I can't bring him along.

QuWOKKA: 🙄
He can't go one hour without being up your ass?

PuppyMinnie: To be fair, we've been talking every waking moment we can for the past week.
I'm not reprimanding dependency.

QuWOKKA: 😮‍💨
Whatever.
The idiot can come.
But you better pay attention to us too.

PuppyMinnie: I think I'm more comfortable with you guys than I am with him in person so far 😅...

QuWOKKA: Good.
I'll text Felix and Jeongin that they should bring their alphas.
Maybe if we go and eat out at a place where the alphas can have fun, they'll all scatter and leave us to get to know each other.

PuppyMinnie: What place did you have in mind??

QuWOKKA: We originally wanted to go to a nice restaurant.
But the alphas bicker a lot and will be too loud for a place like that.
We could go to an arcade and just eat there?
And play games together, too.
It might be easier to get to know each other if we're having fun together rather than just sitting and talking anyway.

PuppyMinnie: True.
I'm okay with that.
What time were you thinking on meeting?

QuWOKKA: 5 PM.
Early start so the night will feel young for awhile.

PuppyMinnie: That works for me.
I'll tell Changbin hyung.

QuWOKKA: Okay 😘
See you there 😆

I smiled at Jisung's last message, before I paused as Changbin's disapproving growls got louder when I smiled. I shushed him, to which the alpha immediately stopped growling and lowered his head to me.

"Be good. He just said you can come." I scolded. "He said that he wants to meet at an arcade to have fun and eat at 5 PM."

"Okay." He agreed. "So long as you spend time with me, any time and place is fine."

I smiled at him, before I checked my clock on my nightstand. "There's about four hours until then. That should be enough time for us to get some more work done, so..." I indicated my panels in front of me. "Let me finish up some of these."

"Gonna draw sex before you see me tonight?" He asked, grinning at me.

I eyed him, before I laid down my phone so all he saw was a black screen.

"I'm gonna draw sex and imagine all the things you could do to me in the future through it." I corrected, smiling through my blush at my dirty talk to him. The alpha loudly crooned at me, making me giggle shyly.

"I look forward to it, babe." He rasped into the speaker, making me shiver at his voice. I gulped as I stared down at my turned over phone, before I turned my attention to my panels without answering him. He chuckled like he knew exactly what I'd done, but didn't say anything else as the sound of my pencil probably gave away that I had ignored him anyway.

He's gonna be the death of me.

I hope I can survive tonight if we really do spend time together. I doubt I can bank on the other omegas to save me two nights in a row.

...I'll just have to make sure that I'm prepared if he does anything.

With ten layers of chapstick and pretty underwear.

 

***

 

The time for us all to meet up came quicker than I would've expected.

I smiled as soon as I saw the others--a big contrast to how I was at the pool hall. All of the omegas were sitting at a table, and nearby, I could see two of their alphas playing air hockey and hooting and hollering about it like monkeys. Though Changbin and...Chan I think, were both missing.

"Hi! You look gorgeous tonight!" Jisung called out to me as I approached their table. He rapidly pat the space beside him for me to sit down, before he indicated a drink and a food basket with a burger and some fries the moment I sat. "Changbin hyung ordered you food."

"Oh." I smiled. "Where did he go?" I asked, looking at him curiously as the omega picked up a burger he had to take a bite.

"He and my man went to check out some machine. That thing you punch or whatever that measures your strength." Jisung said dismissively.

I nodded, before I looked back curiously. "Do you know where it is?" I asked as I started to get back up out of the booth.

"Over there." He said, pointing across the walkway to a bunch of other machines. "If you go up that escalator then it should be on the right somewhere."

"Okay, thank you." I said, going on my way to look for Changbin.

I want to thank him before I eat what he bought, at least.

Plus, I want to see him anyway. Even if I'll just get shy.

I was probably already blushing as I went up the escalator, a bit surprised by how big this place seemed as I went to find my alpha. I barely even registered that I was purring as I wandered the top floor of the loud arcade, until I spotted two alphas that were arguing and taking turns aiming at a punching bag to try and get the 999 high score on it. I smiled as I saw the two alphas bickering, before I watched from a few feet back as Chan took a swing at the punching bag. The two alphas then stood back to judge the score board as it went up, and stopped on 857.

"This shit is so rigged." Chan grumbled, turning to look back at Changbin with a scoff. Then he noticed me, making me smile sheepishly at him. He smiled back at me, much warmer than I would've expected from an alpha I'd never even spoken to, but he didn't say anything to me. Changbin didn't notice at all as he put some coins into the machine and waited impatiently for the punching bag to drop. Chan crossed his arms and turned his attention to the punching bag, before he looked back at me and motioned with his head for me to come closer with a smile. I bit my lip, but obediently came closer. I watched nervously as I stood beside Chan off to the side, waiting for Changbin to punch the bag. The alpha touched his fist to the bag to aim his shot, before he pulled back his fist, and slammed his fist into the bag as hard as he could. Then, all three of us were looking up at the score, until it landed on a solid 850.

"Bullshit." Changbin growled. "Who the fuck is supposed to hit this thing to get it higher? John Cena? Bet he couldn't even max this shit." Changbin huffed angrily, making Chan chuckle as he was glancing down at me and my reaction to Changbin cussing about the game.

"My turn." Chan said, motioning for me to step back. I obediently stepped back quickly as Changbin started to step back too, before I gulped and stood quietly behind the still unaware Changbin as Chan put some tokens into the machine. I looked back and forth between the machine and Changbin, before I paused as I noticed Changbin frowning and starting to sniff the air. I gulped again, before I smiled shyly and stepped forward towards him before he could sniff out my scent. I tried my best to blow off any sort of nerves I had, before I wrapped my arms around the alpha from behind and softly purred against his back. The alpha looked surprised and grabbed my hands, trying to look back at me though he seemed to know who I was immediately.

I smiled up at the alpha when our gazes met, earning a smile back from the alpha. He crooned at me to match my purrs, hugging me back tightly.

"Hey." He said, grinning at me. "How long have you been here?"

"A few minutes." I said as I pulled back from the alpha. "Jisung told me you were up here. He said you bought me food, I wanted to say thank you."

The alpha looked pleased and very proud of himself. "You're welcome. Did you eat already? We can go find something to do together if you want to."

"No, it's okay. I haven't eaten it yet. And I don't want to take you away from this. You, um...seem to be very caught up in it." I said with a giggle.

"Hmm?" Changbin hummed confusedly.

"He heard you cussing about your score on your last turn." Chan said as he glared at his own score that just maxed at 834 this time.

"Oh--" Changbin laughed with a red face. "Well--it's rigged, don't you think? We're both pretty strong and neither of us can get this thing to max out."

Chan grunted his agreement. "Yup. I'm not wasting another damn token on this thing. I'm going back to my omega." Chan huffed, walking away without sparing another glance at Changbin and I. Changbin chuckled at his rage quitting friend, before he looked down at me as I spoke up.

"I think your score being that high is good enough though." I said, smiling up at the alpha. "I don't think I could even get it into the 100s."

"Nah, even kids can get it up there." He said, grinning at me. "Do you want to give it a try? I have some tokens left on me." He said, showing me a few tokens left in his hand.

"I don't want to use up your tokens."

"I have more, I just left them with the omegas so I don't have to carry them all around." He said, before he nodded towards the machine. "Give it a try, babe."

I cringed, but the alpha was already putting tokens into the machine. I sent him an unsure glance, but any thoughts of complaining went right out the window when Changbin gently grabbed my waist to guide me in front of the machine. I gulped as the alpha guided me into posture to properly punch the bag, before he mumbled right up against my ear.

"You can do it, baby."

I softly whimpered at him, shivering as the alpha chuckled at my reaction to him. And though I had no confidence in myself, I tried to hit the bag as hard as I could. With the score going up a measly bit, before it stopped at 224.

"See? You did good." He said, trying to hype me up even if I was pouting at the low number. I looked up at him, showing him my pout even if the alpha just chuckled at it.

"It's not that good." I said, before I looked up at the screen that had already reset the score.

"Well, we've already established that the thing is stupid anyway." He said, before he stepped back from the machine.

"Have we?" I asked, smiling at him.

"Yeah. That stupid thing is rigged to never go above 900, mark my words." He complained, making me giggle.

"I think you just aren't hitting it as hard as you can." I said, making the alpha scoff.

"I--" He opened his mouth to refute my statement, but he paused as he stared down at my playful smile. Then, the alpha's ego made him walk right back up to the machine and put some more tokens in.

"It's just rigged." The alpha grumbled under his breath. "It doesn't have anything to do with me."

"Mm..." I smiled wider as I watched the machine drop down the bag for him to punch. And despite the alpha being so sure that he'd already hit the bag as hard as he could--the alpha wasn't about to ignore my underlying challenge. I glanced over the bag as Changbin was getting ready to hit it, before I bit my lip and reached out a hand to touch his bicep. The alpha looked surprised when I gently felt his muscles, and I just sent him a shy smile as I dropped my hand away from his arm.

"My alpha can get it over 900, Right?" I asked, tilting my head at him.

.

.

.

The alpha didn't answer. But I guess he didn't have to, as a moment after my words, he hit the punching bag as hard as he could. We both proceeded to watch as the score went well above 900--and all the way up to 999.

The max score, that is.

Which seemed to give Changbin a hell of an ego boost, while I giggled at the alpha that looked so proud of himself. He whipped out his phone to take a picture of it, I assume to gloat to Chan later. I looked him over with a smile as he typed out a text and sent the picture he'd taken to Chan--before I stepped closer to the alpha. And before I could chicken out, I gently grabbed his arm to steady myself as I stood on my toes and kissed his cheek.

"I knew my alpha could do it."

...

The alpha watched me with wide eyes for a moment as I settled back on my heels and lightly squeezed his arm in my hand. The alpha gulped, before he looked away from me.

"It helps with motivation." He laughed shyly, making my lips tremble into a smile. I purred at him and laid my head against his shoulder, while my hand traveled down his bicep towards his hand. I intertwined our fingers, before I looked up at him with a hopeful smile.

"You said we could hold hands. Right?" I asked, to which the alpha nodded quickly.

"Yeah. Anything you want." He agreed. I smiled up at him, before I let the alpha guide me as he started walking us towards the escalators. Though the alpha didn't say anything about our destination--I was perfectly fine with letting him lead me wherever he pleased. So long as he doesn't let go of my hand.

I couldn't help myself as I purred at his side the entire time that he walked me back to the table. Even when his friends catcalled us for holding hands, I really couldn't bring myself to care that much. Changbin outright ignored them as he delivered me to my seat, flicking Jisung on his shoulder to get him to scoot over before he sat down next to me in the booth. Jisung leaned forward to hiss at him, while Changbin returned it with a growl. I giggled even if I was stuck in the middle of their bickering, though Changbin's head whipped around to snap at his alpha friends instead when the three of them started to make fun of him for 'flirting' with me. And...moments later, Changbin was running after them with the intention of bludgeoning them I could only assume as the four alphas were quickly out of our sight.

"Who do you think is gonna come crying about a boo boo first?" Jisung asked mockingly, grinning at the rest of us as the alphas disappeared.

"Hyunjin hyung." Jeongin said, rolling his eyes. "I bet he comes around the corner pouting and holding up his finger for a kiss. I give it three minutes."

"He's so dramatic." Felix giggled.

"He just wants your attention, Innie. You can't blame him. You know how much he loves you. He's literally kissed the ground at your feet before." Jisung said as he sipped at his drink.

"Don't remind me." Jeongin groaned, covering his face. "I don't know what I'm gonna do with that idiot. We went to go and see my parents a few days ago and my mom was trying so hard to put marriage into Hyunjin hyung's head. You know that hopeless romantic is gonna jump on it."

"You don't want to marry your boyfriend?" I asked curiously, looking between the three omegas.

"He and Jeongin have only been together for four months. Jeongin's family is just very...old." Jisung cringed.

"They believe omegas should marry quickly." Felix clarified. "And Jeongin is afraid that Hyunjin hyung will get scared and run off."

"I'm scared he'll run off. But I'm also scared that he'll actually do it just to appease my parents." Jeongin groaned, making the other two omegas giggle.

"He loves you so much, Innie. He'd make a good husband." Felix said, nudging the other omega. "You two have known each other for years now, even if you only just started dating. I think you two are gonna make it to forever regardless of if you marry Hyunjin hyung next week."

"I'd still like to date him for a while..." Jeongin sighed, resting his arms and head on the table. "I might actually cry if he spawns a ring on me some day."

"Well, will they be happy tears?" Jisung asked, grinning at Jeongin.

"Of course they would be happy tears. I just really don't want him or my parents to rush anything. But I don't know how to bring it up with Hyunjin hyung, either. I can't handle it when he teases me about these things."

"You never react to anyone else's teasing." Felix scoffed, earning a glare from Jeongin.

"Well I actually care about Hyunjin hyung's opinion."

"That's so mean!" Felix gasped, dramatically putting his hand to his chest. "You don't care about your friend's opinions?"

"Not as much as I care about my alpha's." He complained. "He's my life. And I don't want my life to walk down the path of marriage before it's even spent a year on the path of dating."

"Well...tell him that then." Jisung shrugged. "Chan hyung and I have spoken about marriage already. We've already agreed that we're gonna wait until our fourth year dating before we get married, even if we both want it now."

"Minho hyung and I haven't talked about it." Felix chipped in. "But Minho hyung is weird. He'll probably propose to me in the weirdest place possible."

Jisung rolled his eyes. "I can imagine. I used to fret about that when we were dating that he wouldn't pick a cute place to do it."

"I think it's cute. He'll pick a unique and memorable place." Felix said, smiling fondly at the idea. "I'm not really like you two. I'd be happy just to be proposed to. When isn't an issue for me as long as I know I love my alpha. Which--I do. Chan hyung and I could never get on the same page with that. He tried to be understanding with me, but I think it bothered him that I was so nonchalant about it. Marriage was always such a big thing for him."

Jisung grinned. "I know. It's the same for me."

Felix smiled at the other omega, while Jeongin and I were watching the two as they discussed their swapped alphas. I looked and Jeongin curiously, to find the other omega scrunching his nose at them.

"You two are so weird. If you start talking about your alpha's different mating techniques and share their sweet spots again, I'm leaving early." Jeongin said, making Felix and Jisung both giggle mischievously while I gasped and hid my face. Which made all three of them burst out laughing--though Jeongin's laughter was followed by grumbles about how he was serious.

"We won't. We just talk about it in private after the way you reacted last time." Jisung said, grinning at Jeongin.

"Shut up. You--"

"Baby!"

...

All three of us looked over as a loud voice cut off the argument. And in came the alpha named Hyunjin, pouting and holding up his finger with wide, puppy eyes.

"What is it?" Jeongin asked as Hyunjin crooned and whimpered at him.

"Changbin hyung bit me. It hurts." Hyunjin showed Jeongin his finger, where there were teeth indentions on his finger.

"Why did he bite your finger?" Jeongin asked as he kissed Hyunjin's finger. "Does that help, baby?"

The alpha nodded, before he leaned in to scent Jeongin. "I pointed at him and he bit me."

"Well, it'll be okay, baby. I'll kiss it better as many times as you need me to." Jeongin cooed, while the other three alphas returned, loudly bickering and occasionally making fun of Hyunjin for begging for Jeongin's affection.

"Babe, Changbin hyung bit me too." Chan said, holding up his finger next and curling his lip as he showed Jisung his notably unbitten finger.

"Me too." Minho pouted at Felix.

The two omegas began to giggle at their alphas as they openly mocked Hyunjin--who didn't even bat an eye at them as he was getting cuddled and comforted by his omega. Meanwhile, Changbin stood with crossed arms and glared at the three.

"I only bit Hyunjin. You guys are fucking idiots." Changbin grumbled, making me giggle at the alpha's complaints.

"You're supposed to bite your omega, not our alphas." Jeongin said as he let Hyunjin sit in his lap. Then, he pointed at me. "But you're too much of a coward to bite him, aren't you?"

"Why would I bite him?" Changbin frowned as he glanced down at me. "I'm not biting him."

"Cause you're a coward." Felix said with a grin before he kissed Minho's cheek as the alpha scooped him up so he could sit, before he plopped Felix down in his lap.

"I think you just don't want to claim him." Jisung grinned as Chan was hugging him from over the half wall barrier our booth was up against.

"I need his consent for that. And I don't have it." Changbin pointed out, before the alpha laid his hand on my shoulder opposite of him. And though his friends attempted to taunt him even more, the alpha ignored them and leaned down to whisper in my ear. "Eat, Minnie. When you're finished, we can go play, okay?"

I nodded obediently, picking up the burger he'd gotten me to take a bite just to please him. He crooned at me, before he went with the other three alphas that were going to check out another game there was. And though it did make me pout that the alpha was leaving right after he'd said we could go and play together after I eat, it did make me feel better that I could still see him from where they were--and see the alpha looking back at me occasionally as I was eating.

Okay. So he's checking on me even from afar. I shouldn't be bothered then.

The moment that I finished eating, the alpha spawned by my side. Proving just how attentive he'd been towards me even from far away. I smiled when the alpha intertwined our fingers and walked with me to the counter, where he gave them some of the tickets he'd already gotten and gave me some candy with it, before he got some more tokens for us both. Meanwhile--I couldn't help but stare at one of the bunny plushies behind the counter with heart eyes as he handled the transaction. Though after I saw the sheer amount of tickets required to get it, I had zero hope of actually getting it.

It looks like the perfect size to hug while I sleep...

...

...But I don't need that, do I?

Eventually, could Changbin and I sleep together in person, rather than on the phone?

Couldn't I just hug him?

...

I bit my lip as I stared at the cute bunny. Not really noticing it as Chan and Jisung came up beside us, until I got poked by a smug looking Jisung that was leaning on the counter next to me.

"You want the bunny, don't you?" Jisung whispered, making me nod slightly.

"I do, but it costs so many tickets. It's not worth it."

He quirked an eyebrow at me, before he looked over at Chan. "Hey baby, do you remember that necklace you bought me on our first date?" He asked, standing up straight to look at Chan.

"You mean the one that I constantly have to remind you to take off before you shower?" Chan asked, raising an eyebrow at him. "Of course I remember it."

Jisung grinned at him. "How much did it cost?"

"Uh..." Chan scrunched his nose. "I don't remember. It was a few hundred though. The diamond is real."

"I know." Jisung said, blowing his alpha a kiss before he leaned back down on the counter and pulled a necklace out of his shirt--a pretty rose gold with a large diamond set in it. "My man spent hundreds on me on our first date. Do you think your man shouldn't do the same for you?"

"This isn't a date. And we aren't even together yet." I pointed out, making Jisung roll his eyes.

"Right. Cause he's totally just fucking around being a total sweetheart with you. Look," He pointed at the bunny plush. "If you want the bunny, you don't have to ask for it."

"What do you mean?" I asked, furrowing my brows.

Jisung smirked at me, before he turned my head with his finger on my chin to look back at Changbin and Chan. Who I just realized were talking in hushed voices. Then, Jisung turned my head back to look at him.

"I mean, you don't have to ask. Because my man is smart and I guarantee you he knows exactly why I asked him how much my necklace costs. He also saw me point at the bunny. Trust," He winked at me. "My man will lay the seed in your man's head. So just wait for your bunny."

...

I was very unsure of Jisung. But I was being led off by Changbin a moment later as the alpha finished up getting tokens for us. I looked up at him curiously as he tapped away on his phone, checking his bank account.

Is he spending too much money...?

I gulped, averting my gaze when I realized that he was sending someone else money. Making me a bit confused--but I didn't say anything about it. Instead, I looked up at him curiously.

"I can send you money to pay for half of the tokens."

"No." The alpha dismissed immediately. "I got my scholarship and financial aid money two days ago so I've got plenty to spend. My dad was a veteran so my classes are free."

"Oh." I mumbled. "Well...wouldn't it be more fair for me to help though?"

"No. Let me court you properly." He said, sending me a playful smile. "How could I ask you to help pay for anything when I'm trying to show you I'm a good alpha?"

"Being a good alpha for me doesn't revolve around you paying for everything." I said, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Well, it would make me feel happy if I got to anyway." He said, before he let go of my hand to wrap his arm around my waist.

"It would make me happy to buy you things too." I said, frowning at him.

"Okay. Then we can get ice cream on you tonight." He said, smiling at me. "This place closes at 8 PM. Do you want to go somewhere alone afterwards?"

I considered it, biting my lip. "We can. But you don't have any more college work to worry about?" I asked, looking up at him.

"No. I got my reading done while you were getting ready and I don't have anything scheduled for tomorrow, so I can stay out as late as you're cool with."

"Okay." I said, before I smiled at him. "Then...if you're gonna take care of this place, can I pay for us to get ice cream? And maybe a movie too?"

"You want to go on an arcade date, ice cream date and movie date all on one night?" He asked, chuckling at me.

"Is this a date?" I asked curiously.

"Isn't it?" He smiled. "We're all pretty much breaking off into groups. Did you want to spend time with the others more?"

"Well..." I hummed. "I guess I've talked to the other omegas enough..."

"So...we're alone now. Right?" He crooned at me. "That's a date, baby."

My lips quivered as I looked up at him. He winked at me, before he tightened his grip on my waist and guided me up to one of the machines. And though I was a bit distracted as I was still giddy about him calling this a date, Changbin and I both stopped flirting fairly quickly and began to hop machines and play them together.

By the time that closing came around, I was purring as Changbin and I were both carrying tickets to the front. Changbin was texting on his phone as he followed after me, before the alpha gave me the tickets in his hand too as a lady was feeding them into a machine to count them.

"Here, babe. You can have mine." He said, earning a surprised look from me.

"I don't want to take your tickets from you." I said, making the alpha shrug.

"I don't want anything they have but some candy. Just save like a hundred tickets for candy. There's a couple thousand there." He said as he pushed his tickets towards the lady, who grabbed them to add them into the machine. I eyed him, but didn't complain since they were already mixed in with mine now anyway. Though I did pause and look up with wide eyes a moment later as a gigantic pile of tickets was suddenly laid onto the counter right in front of me next. I looked up, to find a grinning Chan with Hyunjin and Minho behind him.

"Add these ones too, ma'am." Chan said, indicating the tickets.

"What? Why?" I panicked as the lady was already grabbing the tickets. "You aren't gonna give them to your omegas?"

"They have theirs." Hyunjin said as he pointed to another area of the counter where Jisung, Felix and Jeongin were all getting massive piles of tickets fed into a machine too.

"But--" I tried to argue, but as I felt a hand on mine, I looked over as Changbin intertwined our fingers.

"It's okay. They're tickets that they got from tokens I bought." Changbin said, before he pointed out the bunny plush I'd been eyeballing earlier. "Chan hyung said Jisung saw you wanting that bunny. Right?"

"I did, but..." I cringed, looking between him and the bunny. "Hyung..."

"I bought a bunch of tokens for them to help get enough tickets for it." Changbin said, patting me on the back. "You should have enough tickets to get the bunny now."

I whimpered at him, but the other three alphas were already leaving after delivering the tickets. I looked up at Changbin with a curled lip, but the alpha just pat me on the head.

"Don't worry about it, Seungmin. They had fun on my dime. I can promise you they don't care about the tickets." He said, before he motioned towards the ticket balance that the machine was displaying--that displayed plenty of tickets to get two bunnies, rather than just one. I looked back at him, softly whimpering at him, but the alpha just smiled and pointed out the bunny plush. "Can we get that one?"

The lady behind the desk had grabbed it before I could protest. Next thing I knew, the bunny was in my arms. I looked up at Changbin with a disgruntled pout, before I pointed out a different colored bunny that they had.

"Can we get that one?" I asked, pointing out a baby blue one, whereas Changbin had gotten the light yellow variant.

"You wanted that color?" Changbin asked with wide eyes as the lady handed me the other bunny.

"No." I said, before I held out the blue one to him. "But you have to take a bunny too."

He looked surprised, but took the bunny when I held it out to him without a question. Then, I started to point out some candy that I wanted with the little bit of tickets left, leaving Changbin with the last few hundred to pick out his own candy. Though the alpha was smiling and looked content as he wrapped an arm around his own bunny and pointed out the candy he wanted. Then, we were on our way out after bidding farewell to his friends. I followed after the alpha to his car, perking up when the alpha opened my door for me before he got in too.

"Ice cream now? Or after a movie?" He asked as he turned on his car.

"Any ice cream place would probably be closed after a movie." I said as the alpha started to drive out of the parking lot.

"Okay. Do you have a preference?" He asked, glancing at me.

"No. Wherever is fine."

"Okay."

...

Before long, Changbin and I had both gotten ice cream and had sat down together at a booth to eat. Though I was pouting as we sat as Changbin had teased me at the register for looking so happy about paying for us. But ultimately, I enjoyed our little chat about interests as we ate our ice cream. And not long later, we were off to the movie theater...

...Which was not showing any more movies starting this late.

...

I looked up at Changbin for what to do as the alpha and I were exiting the theater. The alpha held my hand, not looking the least bit bothered by us being too late to watch a movie together. Though I was a bit sad, I guess it had been an impromptu thought a bit too late at night.

After the traffic to get around everywhere and us having our tiny ice cream date, it's 9:30.

I guess it's fine though. None of the movies they had available looked that interesting. Though it's still sad. I did want to watch a movie with h--

"Do you want to come to my place to watch a movie together?"

.

.

.

The alpha smiled despite the shocked look on my face. I gulped, smiling back at him, even if my heart was doing funky things after the alpha's question.

"Um..." I averted my gaze. "I don't know. It is kind of late, so..."

"You can sleep over too if you're comfortable with it." He said as he stopped walking, looking down at me curiously. "My couch is pretty comfortable. We'd probably enjoy watching a movie at home more anyway, no?"

I think I'll be too busy trying to discreetly check my heart rate!

"I'm unsure of that." I laughed awkwardly, lowering my gaze to him. "I don't think I'm ready for a step like that." I mumbled honestly. "It...seems really intimate to go to each other's apartments. You, um..." I looked up at him nervously. "You don't live in dorms? I thought..."

"Mm? No, I have my own apartment. I live alone."

That's even worse! Or--I don't know, I might've cried if he was trying to invite me back to his dorm room, but--! His own apartment?! How am I supposed to walk into his apartment and spend time with him without having a heart attack?!

"You don't have to if you don't want to. I won't be bothered." Changbin said, trying to reassure me. "I can take you home if you want me to."

"Er..." I gulped, chewing on my lip as my eyes looked just about anywhere but at him.

God, I--

...I would like to spend more time with him, but...

What if something happens between us? I mean, we haven't even kissed yet, but...does Changbin care about ordering operations? What if he tries to initiate anything with me? I don't think I'm ready for it...

...

...Then again...

...I guess I did...prepare...

...

"...I can go to your apartment." I mumbled softly. "I just...can't guarantee that I won't get shy..."

He showed me a soft smile. "That's fine, baby." He said, before he pat me on the head. "I really just want to have our movie date together. I swear I'm not trying to take you back to my apartment for anything...else. I don't want to make you uncomfortable. Though--I guess I'm not really doing good at that." He laughed awkwardly.

"No, it's okay, really. I'm just...shy. I'm new to this stuff, so..."

"It's okay. We can move at your pace. I should've thought of how it would make you feel before I offered for you to come back with me anyway. If...it would make you more comfortable, we can go to your place instead."

"No, it's okay." I smiled up at him. "I'm just nervous. I think...I'll be fine once we're actually there. It's just a daunting thought because it's new. I've never been to an alpha's apartment before..."

"Then I hope mine doesn't disappoint." He grinned, though it looked awkward. We both smiled back and forth over and over as neither of us seemed to know what to do or say anymore, before Changbin took a stiff step in the direction of his car. I gulped, but followed after the alpha as he made the first steps towards the carriage that would lead us behind closed doors.

...Oh god...

 

***

 

When we arrived at Changbin's apartment building, I made a horrifying discovery.

Thankfully, not anything about Changbin's apartment. No, that was very clean and nice.

Rather--it was the location of it.

More specifically, the fact that his apartment existed two floors above mine in the same building.

This fact--I had in fact not shared with Changbin as I clutched my bunny in my arms tightly and gawked at his apartment that had the same floor plan as my own--besides a separate room added on as his wasn't a studio apartment. I gulped as I looked around his apartment, noting the way that he'd minimalistically decorated it.

I mean, it would be perfect with a few plants. It's very homey. But--

Never mind that--! This man lives two floors above me and I didn't even know it?!

"Babe? You gonna come sit?"

I looked at Changbin with wide eyes as the alpha pat the couch beside him. I gulped, before I obediently went to sit down beside him. The alpha chuckled at my shocked expression as he wrapped his arm around me, pulling me into his side before he pulled a blanket over us and grabbed his remote.

"Why do you look so shocked? Do you like my apartment?" He chuckled as he leaned over the arm of the couch, where he had a mini fridge chilling under an end table. He offered me a bottle of apple juice as I was still trying to wrap my head around the current situation, before I gulped and looked away from him.

"You, um..." I looked around at his apartment awkwardly. "How long have you lived here?"

"Uh...about two years. Why?" He asked, smiling confusedly. "Does it look bad?"

"No, no--just..." I trailed off, before I looked up at him. "I, um..." I cringed. "I live in the same apartment building, so...it's just a bit of a surprise."

"What?" He asked incredulously. "You live in this apartment building?"

"Yes. On the fourth floor." I laughed awkwardly. "I was a little surprised, is all."

"Wow--" He grinned. "What the hell. Were we meant to be?" He chuckled as he opened up his own bottle of juice. "I wonder if we've ever seen each other in passing before?"

"I don't think so. I don't leave my apartment a whole lot since I work from home." I said, before I bit my lip. "It's a bit shocking knowing how close you've been this whole time though."

He crooned at me. "I see it as the universe trying to get us to meet and us messing up until I texted you." He said as he pulled me in closer to him. "I like that. My baby is close to me at all times then."

I smiled at his words, before I tried laying my head on his shoulder to feign nonchalance, even if my heart was racing just like I thought it would. "And my alpha is close, too." I added in as I snuggled my bunny--and my alpha. Changbin grinned when I agreed with him, before he stretched his legs out in front of him on the long sectional piece he'd gotten us cuddled up on.

"What movie do you want to watch? Do you prefer a genre?" He asked as he opened up Netflix.

"Romance?" I asked, looking up at him. "Are you okay with that?"

"Yeah." He said, smiling as he scrolled down to the romance category on the homepage. "Do you want to pick?"

"Since I picked the genre, you can pick the movie. I like just about anything romance anyway."

"Oh? Then--" The alpha looked through a few of the options, obviously judging everything by it's cover before he selected the most romcom looking thing--that I just barely noticed a mature rating on before the alpha had selected play. I opened my mouth to mention it, but--

Well, I guess we're both adults, so does it matter?

"Mm?" Changbin hummed, noticing me about to say something immediately.

"Um..." I smiled at him. "That's not a movie, it's episodic..." I said, before I tried to lighten the mood after pointing something out. "How long are you trying to keep me tonight?" I giggled, making the alpha smile.

"How long can I get away with before it's unreasonable?" He asked as he squeezed my waist, before he let his hand drop down to my hip. "You never really acknowledged me saying that you could spend the night with me if it gets late."

"Oh--" I frowned. "I mean, does it really matter? We just discovered that we live in the same apartment building. It would literally take me two minutes to get home."

"Mm. So that's the downside of you living close." He grunted. "You'll never be too tired to go home."

"Do you want me to stay over that badly?" I asked, smiling at him.

"It wouldn't hurt." He said, grinning at me. "I promise I'm a good cuddle buddy. I have a king sized bed, too. Plenty of room to get comfy."

"I'd be comfortable even if it was a twin." I said as I completely relaxed my body against his. "I think we're doubling up pretty well without a bunch of space."

"Should I get a smaller bed then?"

"Of course not." I said, smiling up at him. "It will be good in the future."

"When we start making pups?"

"For days that my alpha doesn't get night cuddles." I corrected, stick my tongue out at him.

"Now that's just mean." He chuckled, before he leaned in close to me, making me gulp as I momentarily panicked at the idea of him kissing me. "If I make my omega upset in the future and you decide you don't want to cuddle with me, I guess I better grovel until I get my privileges back."

"I won't be such an unreasonable partner."

"Mm. I'll just do my best to never make you feel like you should be upset with me." He started to croon right before I squealed as the alpha laid me down on his couch. I giggled as the alpha started to tickle me, squirming violently beneath him as he mercilessly attacked my sides. "My perfect boy." He cooed as he watched me laugh uncontrollably, before the alpha paused his assault to smile down at me. I gasped for air and smiled back up at him as he was looking me over, before the alpha leaned in and kissed my forehead. "Do you feel okay like this?" He asked, making me frown at him.

"What do you mean?" I asked as I smiled up at him after his confusing question.

"Under me." He said, glancing down at my body before he looked back at my expression. "Are you okay?"

"Well...yeah. You were just tickling me." I said as I took in a deep breath, before I smiled at him again. "You're established pretty well that you won't hurt me, hyung. I'm not scared. I know you'd stop if I asked. Any sort of discomfort that you see from me is just me being shy. I'm new to this stuff and I'd like to experience it in baby steps. But--" I reached up to cup his cheek, smiling at the way that the alpha crooned and leaned into my touch. "You can do these things. They don't bother me. Really," I bit my lip, before I propped myself up on my elbows so I could see him closer. I smiled, my lips quivering my nerves as our faces were a mere inch apart. "You can do anything that you want. As long as it isnt like...sex. I'm not ready for that. But...kisses? Cuddles? Things like that, I...don't mind. You don't have to ask and you don't have to check in on me to see if I'm comfortable. I appreciate it that you do, but..." I leaned in, before I planted a gentle kiss on his cheek. "If we're gonna be together, we need to get closer beyond that."

"Not really." The alpha said as he leaned in closer to me to scent my body. "Even in a relationship, consistent verbal consent still goes a long way. Just because we would be together doesn't mean that you can't feel uncomfortable with anything I do."

"Well I'm comfortable right now. Now that I'm here with you, it doesn't feel as scary. I'm happy."

"Good." He crooned, before he gave me another kiss on my forehead and pulled me back up. I gasped as the alpha planted me in his lap, but obediently curled up with him where he wanted me. I laid back against his chest and nuzzled his neck, grabbing my bunny to cuddle after I had dropped it in Changbin's playful pinning game. Changbin wrapped an arm around my waist when I settled in his lap, before the alpha backed up the episode that had been playing through it's beginning while Changbin and I had been talking.

We ended up cuddling for about two hours as we watched through the first five episodes of the romcom Changbin had picked. I couldn't even smell my own scent anymore as Changbin's had completely rubbed off on me from our cuddling--not that I minded one bit. As the end of the episode played out, I stretched and groaned in Changbin's lap, before I looked around his apartment for a clock of some kind. The alpha looked tired--and I felt tired as well as my eyes landed on the near 12 AM posted on his wall clock. I yawned and relaxed back in Changbin's arms as I hugged my bunny tightly, before I closed my eyes and began to softly purr at him.

"Do you want to stop here? Or watch one more episode?" Changbin asked, rubbing my side as I opened my eyes to look at him.

"Do we want to know if they kiss tonight or not?" I asked, smiling up at him.

"Yes." Changbin said, smiling too as his eyes went to the credits playing on the movie. "But it can wait if you're too tired."

"I want to know too." I said, before my eyes went to the TV as it automatically played the next episode. "I think I have one more episode in me."

.

.

.

I did not have one more episode in me.

Which I found out the next morning as I woke up in the comfiest bed I'd ever slept in with a heavy, thick arm wrapped around my waist. I yawned and stretched, shifting my body and moaning as I tried to get comfortable. Light dared to invade between my tightly closed eyelids, disallowing any hopes of going back to sleep. I softly whimpered as I opened my eyes, cursing the lack of blackout curtains in the room--and curtains at all as the measly apartment blinds didn't even try to block out the light.

That's a crime. Genuinely a fucking crime.

...

It was also a crime how long it took me to realize that I was not in my own bed or my own apartment. Or notice that the heavy arm around my waist was the alpha that I'd been marathoning a romcom with last night. I just yawned and rolled my body over under the heavy arm, before I paused as I came face to face with a still sleeping Changbin--who I was currently sharing a lonely pillow with.

I blushed as my eyes landed on the peaceful sleeping expression of the alpha in front of me. Even more as my eyes dropped to his shirtless torso, I gulped as I pulled up the blanket just enough to peek down his body. Confirming that he had sweatpants on--even if he had a hell of a morning wood--at least he was covered up.

I, however, was not.

I gasped when I realized that my pants were gone. Though it was obviously my own doing since my pants were bundled up at my feet, so I must've gotten uncomfortable and kicked them off overnight. Which concerns me since Changbin may have woken up and watched me do it--but the biggest issue right now is that I won't be able to get them back on without waking him up.

I am terrified.

And the log nudging my thigh as Changbin held me close did not help.

It's okay though. It's really okay. He's going to be my boyfriend. Right? So sometime in the future, down the road, this will be the norm for us.

Him sleeping shirtless, getting hard in his sleep...

...And me getting hot and kicking my pants off overnight.

I should've thought of that. I mean--I was asleep so I guess I couldn't, but--

I'm a repeat offender on kicking off clothes if I get hot. And having a space heater of an alpha hugging me all night would definitely cause that effect.

At least I left my shirt.

...

That didn't fix anything that was currently happening though. I let out a sigh as my eyes moved up from our bodies to Changbin's torso, before they went back up to his face.

Where his eyes were now open, staring at me.

I gasped. And I would've panic slung myself out of bed had it not been for Changbin's arm around me. When I moved, the alpha locked his arm around my waist and pulled me back in.

"Do we have to get up?" He rasped, making me shiver at the alpha's deep morning voice.

"Um--" I gulped, staring at him like a deer in headlights. He looked tired but amused at my expression, before he let go of my waist and rolled onto his back. He started to stretch--while my eyes went to the noticeably raised bit of blanket around where his crotch would be.

Curse the gray sweatpants!

And curse my blue panties!

I chewed on my lip, trying not to make any obvious 'I'm freaking out' moves as I got out of bed. Initially with the intention of grabbing my pants and bolting to find his bathroom, but the moment that Changbin realized that I wasn't wearing my pants, I froze to watch him as he openly stared at my exposed body. He gulped, before his eyes flitted up to mine. And like he only just realized he was staring, he closed his eyes and laid back down.

"Sorry." He apologized as he draped his arm over his eyes to reinforce them being closed.

"It's okay." I mumbled, before I started to dig down under the blanket for my pants.

"Where did your pants go?" He asked as I pulled them out from under the blanket. "I didn't take them off of you. Just...want to clarify that."

"I know you didn't. I'm sorry, I have a tendency to take off clothes that make me hot when I'm sleeping. I didn't mean to do this."

"I mean, I'm certainly not complaining." He said, while I could see a smirk on his lips. "Do you want some of my clothes to wear? You're welcome to my dresser if you want to change."

"No, that's okay. I'll just go home." I said as I started to quickly put my pants on. "I'm sorry I fell asleep on you."

"I'm not. You were so cute." He grinned. "I didn't even realize you were asleep until you started whimpering and scenting me."

"I didn't..." I mumbled, pouting at him.

"You did." He crooned. "I scented you back all night. You, uh--" He picked up his arm to peek at me as I was buttoning my pants, and he sat up to smile at me once I was dressed. "You're preheating, aren't you?"

"Yes." I said, smiling awkwardly at him. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you could smell it. My scent is usually subtle, so--"

He snorted. "I'm an unmated alpha. Of course I can smell your preheat." He said, before he indicated his crotch. "Your preheat scent has been slapping me in the face all night."

"I'm sorry."

"That wasn't a complaint." He said, before he started to get out of bed too. "I'm sorry my body is reacting to you."

"I know you can't control that." I said, before I gulped. "Should I go? I don't want to agitate you."

"You aren't agitating me. Just making me horny." He said as he started to remake his bed. "Though it might be best if we don't see each other again for a bit. It would be bad if your heat came while we were together."

"I trust you to be good to me." I said as I quickly moved to help him with remaking his bed. "Though...I don't know that I want my first time to be with a rutting alpha..." I laughed awkwardly. "So maybe I should avoid you."

He hummed, before he walked around the bed as soon as his bed was made. I looked up at him nervously as he got close to me, softly gasping as his arms wrapped around me.

"I'm gonna miss you." He crooned softly in my ear. "If you have to go home, can we be on call any time we can be? I'm gonna go crazy without you with me already."

"Of course we can." I said, smiling up at him. I purred as the alpha leaned in to kiss my cheek, his hands gripping my hips and kneading the skin as he pulled back from me just enough to see my face after his kiss. And though I was sure the alpha could probably hear my heart in my chest screaming my nerves, I was happy to be receiving sweet attention from him. I reached up to wrap my arms around his neck, before I let my eyes flutter closed the moment that I saw Changbin leaning in again.

When Changbin's lips brushed into mine, my heart exploded. My entire body felt so fuzzy and weird, something felt caught in my throat. I held onto the alpha tightly, fearful that my legs would cave if I let him go. I didn't know what I was doing--but I accepted every bit of Changbin's affection with open arms as the alpha gently moved his lips with mine. Feeling like I was getting a hundred kisses in just one--I began to uncontrollably purr the longer that Changbin kissed me. The moment that he pulled back, my heart began to ache for another. He smiled when he saw my expression, like he knew exactly what I wanted. And I was rewarded with another soft kiss on my lips. Though this one was painfully short, I softly whimpered at him when he gave me a peck on my lips.

"If you look at me like that, I might just have to give in and kiss you all day." He said, smiling at me as he ran his hands over my body, feeling out each curve of it.

"You wouldn't if I asked?"

The alpha grinned, before he leaned in and kissed me again. "I'd do anything in the world if you asked me for it."

I purred at his statement--and even louder as I got picked up and carried to the bed for more kisses. Changbin laid me back down in his bed, messing it right back up after we'd made it as he leaned over my body to hold my cheek and kiss me as much as I wanted. I, meanwhile, happily accepted every bit of affection that the alpha was willing to give me as we eagerly made out in his bed sheets. Soft croons, purrs and the wet sound of our lips each time they parted being the only noises in Changbin's bedroom.

 

***

 

After Changbin and I had our first kiss together, a week's worth followed. Or maybe a year's--though I'd like to think that Changbin would kiss me a hundred times in a week. I would hope so--because the thought of that was the only thing that kept me sane as my heat sprung up a few hours after I returned home. And though I had agreed to be on the phone with Changbin for any time that we couldn't be together, I was too shy to touch myself on the phone with him again after we had kissed. So, I went a full week on my uncared for heat texting the sad alpha that would beg for a video call every other minute. While I would deny him solely because I didn't want him to see me trying to finger myself in the same position he'd guided me into the first and only time we'd really done anything dirty together. Though it really didn't do a whole lot for me as my heat begged for more, it was enough to at least get a few leaking orgasms out of me until my heat finally subsided.

Which, the moment that my heat was gone and I had taken a long nap to rest before I had to clean up--I was calling a needy alpha that had given up on texting me about it today.

The alpha wasn't even on the phone before he'd started to croon, if the immediate croons on the phone were any indication. I smiled as soon as I heard Changbin's croons, purring back at him as I curled up in my bed.

"How do you feel, baby?" He asked, apparently not even thinking to complain about me requesting a regular call instead of the video one he'd wanted so badly all week.

"Like I've been hit by a truck. I need another nap. But I wanted to call you first." I said as I stretched in my bed, before I softly whimpered as my sore rim from my fingers messing with it through my whole heat sent an ache through my body.

"Come nap at my house." The alpha begged. "Please--or I can come to yours. I want to hold you, baby. I miss you."

"Uh--" I took in a deep breath, biting my lip as my heat scent was still heavily clouding my apartment. "You probably shouldn't come to mine. My heat scent is so strong it would send you into a rut immediately."

"Come over then. It's probably safer here anyway." He mumbled. "I have condoms here if anything does happen. I'm guessing your apartment isn't similarly equipped."

"No, it isn't. But you'd probably have a mad hornet on your ass if you tried mating me right now. I'm so sore." I complained, curling my lip. "I don't want to find out what an alpha can do to me compared to two fingers on my heat."

"Only two?"

"Shut up."

I heard the alpha chuckling when I immediately snapped at him for questioning how many fingers I'd used on myself my whole heat. I sighed, before I yawned and stretched in my bed.

"I'll come over. But will you come and get me? I don't know how strong my heat scent is on me. I don't want an alpha taking any chances."

"If anyone tries anything with my omega, I'm bashing heads." The alpha growled softly, making me smile.

"Protective, are we?" I purred, giggling when the alpha's growls got louder.

"Is that a problem?"

"No. It's cute." I said, before I yawned again. "My apartment is 409 if you want to come get me. If you take to long, I can't guarantee I'll still be awake to open the door when you get here."

"Oh I'm already on your floor." He snorted. "I figured your heat was over since you called me." He said, before I heard a knock on my door. I scrunched my nose at it, before I groaned.

"Do I have to get up?" I whined, pouting at the door across my apartment.

"The moment you unlock the door, I can give you all the princess treatment your heat could possibly desire. And then some to make sure you feel like a queen instead."

"Is that your way of saying you'll carry me to your apartment?"

"I can if you want me to."

"I would say yes but that would be embarrassing as hell."

"It's not even 6 AM yet, babe. No one is gonna be up to even see us."

"Why are you even up?" I asked, frowning as I forced my body out of bed.

"I've only been sleeping when I thought you were. You were texting me an hour ago so I knew you were awake. Though I was about to go to bed when you stopped replying." He answered as I went to unlock the door. Changbin stepped inside the moment that I opened in, though the alpha flew right back out and started to wheeze as my heat scent must've slapped him in the face. I giggled at the alpha as his senses went into overdrive with no sort of warning, while he was nodding rapidly.

"Yeah." He croaked. "I don't think I should go in there."

"Okay." I laughed, before I cracked my door. "Let me pack a bag and I'll go with you."

"A bag? Do I get my omega overnight?" He asked, lighting up excitedly.

"If you want your omega overnight, you can certainly have him for two."

"How about three?"

"That works."

"Four?"

"Uh--"

"Ten?" He crooned, peeking into my apartment at me with a grin, though he was right back outside when my heat scent hit him again.

"Two." I said, rolling my eyes. "Don't jump the gun, sir."

"I'm not. I think ten days is a totally reasonable amount of time for an alpha and omega to spend together."

"Don't you have work in two days?" I asked, rolling my eyes at him again as I walked away from my door to go and start packing up anything I might need. "And college work to do?"

"Well work is in two days and even if I have college stuff to do, it isn't like I can't do it with you in my lap."

I grunted, though I wasn't sure if the alpha's hearing would be able to pick it up or not through a nearly closed door and me being across my apartment.

"If you put me in your lap any today right after my heat, I'm not so sure that I wouldn't try to instinctively ride you."

"You say that like it's a bad thing."

"It would distract you."

"I would love a distraction like that."

"Well, I'm not going to distract you like that. So behave." I said as I started to put a few pairs of clothes into a bag--just in case I got to my alpha's apartment and decided that ten days didn't sound so bad anymore. Then, I carefully placed all of my book panels into a folder to take too, and all of my art supplies.

Since he'll probably have to do some work while we're together, I might as well bring my job with me.

I can totally see Changbin teasing the fuck out of me for it all though. I won't be able to deny him looking at my work if I'm physically with him.

Not that I'm gonna get much done anyway. I've barely been writing since I met him. If I didn't already have a few chapters made, I'd be screwed.

Though I guess it isn't all Changbin. I still can't decide if I like the sex positions I have the characters in for this episode.

...

...Hm.

I could hear Changbin crooning at my door, a quiet reminder that he was here and patiently waiting as I packed up my things. A few minutes later, I stepped out of my apartment to lock my door with two bags in hand--one holding anything I thought I'd need while I was with him, and the other holding everything I'd need for work. I got halfway through locking my door before Changbin had stolen my attention for a kiss--before I locked the top lock on my door--and was kissed again as soon as I was finished.

...Yeah. I'm gonna enjoy being with him today.

And for the rest of my life.

...

I smiled at that last thought as Changbin took both of my bags, mumbling about how queens didn't carry things for themselves as we walked to the elevator to go up to his apartment. He slung the straps of both bags over his shoulder halfway down my floor's hall, before I was gasping and softly hissing at Changbin when the alpha scooped me up next.

"Queens don't walk."

"Yes they do! Why are you carrying me?! What if someone sees?!" I whisper yelled at him.

"Then they'll know that the beautiful omega on floor 4 is taken." He said, sending me a grin as he stepped onto the elevator with me. I whined at him, but quickly closed the elevator doors and hit the 6 on the pad. And the entire time that the elevator went up, I panicked and pleaded internally to every possible god in the universe that no one on the 5th or 6th floor was going anywhere at the ass crack of dawn.

If these doors open on the 5th floor for someone leaving, I'm gonna cry inconsolably for hours. And if anyone is on the 6th floor--

...

Thankfully, no one was out and about on the 6th floor when Changbin walked us out of the elevator. He brought me to his apartment, before he set me down so he could unlock it. I bolted inside when he opened the door for me and said "Queens first" like the jerk he was, before the alpha laid my bags on his couch and came to scoop me right back up as soon as his hands were free. I whimpered at him as he carried me to the couch and plopped down with me in his lap, before he smirked at me.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I scoffed, scrunching my face at the alpha's mischievous expression.

"You don't want to ride it?"

...

The alpha's chest got a smack before I got up to go and retrieve my work bag. Changbin laughed when I had lightly smacked him, not the least bit bothered by my hit. I started to unpack my panels, making sure that they couldn't get crumbled up by a prolonged stay in a bag before I laid them down on his coffee table. And they were laid out for all of two seconds before Changbin was looking at them.

"Lay back down." I scolded, pushing the alpha back down onto the couch when he scooted towards my panels. He grinned at me when I pushed him, dragging me along with him and making me squeal when he yanked me down onto the couch with him. I barely caught myself before I would fall flat onto his chest, straddling his hips and gulping as my hands held myself up on his chest. The alpha grinned at me as I sat on him, his hands going to my hips to hold firmly.

"Oh look, another great riding position." He teased, making me blush and hiss at him. He winked at me, before he watched me with an amused smirk as I got back off of the couch to organized my panels. I softly hissed at Changbin when he got right back up in my business, but the alpha just ignored me and pulled me into his lap to hold me as I worked.

"This is a good riding position too." He whispered in my ear, making me shiver and arch my back in the alpha's arms. He chuckled at me, while I blushed as I gulped and settled in his lap.

"How would this be a good riding position?" I grumbled as my legs dangled over his, biting my tongue as I leaned forward in his lap to keep reordering my panels. Though my attention went right back to Changbin as the alpha gently grabbed my calves and brought them up onto the couch, before he put his hands onto my hips.

"This is the perfect reverse cowgirl. It's a perfect riding position." He said, grinning as he stared down my back in front of him. I gulped, my eyes dropping to his legs that I was sitting on, the soft fabric of my sweatpants feeling too thick as my brain mildly wished that I could feel him directly.

...I shouldn't though...

...

I rolled my hips back into Changbin's, gulping as I eyed the position. Trying to visualize how this position would function, whether or not I thought that my legs would even be strong enough for me to ride us both into a high like this.

Is this a feasible position? Do people like this? Should I draw it out?

...

Changbin was watching me with a sly smile as I was checking out the position. My breath hitched when the alpha shifted his hips beneath me, before he pulled my hips back further onto his. And while I was thinking that the clothes were in the way before--now I didn't think that there were enough to protect my virginity from the bulge that I could feel directly against my entrance now.

It's...

...Aching for a different reason now.

I gulped, looking back at him shyly as the alpha laid my body where it would belong. I could feel the disconnected puzzle pieces, one laying right on top of the other and waiting to be snapped whole. Every fiber of my being screamed that Changbin was an alpha--that he would be able to smell the slightest tinge of arousal and my slick the moment that it would start to wet my sweatpants. The idea made my heart race, my mouth going dry as I pressed myself down harder into his crotch.

"Like this?" I asked softly, lifting my hips up before I slowly lowered myself back down onto his length that I could swear my entire life on was growing beneath me.

"Yeah. Like that." He crooned, before his hands went to rest on my calves. "Or you can roll your hips. Forward and back." He mumbled, before he started to roll his hips beneath mine. My breath hitched again as I felt the alpha grinding on me, but I tried matching what he was doing. The alpha looked pleased that I was following his lead, his hands moving to my torso to pull me back against his chest as our hips worked together. The alpha crooned in my ear as he squished my back into his strong chest.

"You learn so quickly, Minnie." The alpha mumbled right up against my ear, sending chills down my spine as he pushed his hips up into mine. "Are you okay, puppy?" He asked softly as he scented my neck, kissing at my scent gland that I was sure was still exuding remnants of my heat.

"Yeah." I purred, my voice coming out as a soft moan. Changbin groaned at my voice and kissed the back of my neck, before he rubbed his boner up into my ass harder. I gasped and whimpered as his dick snuggled into my ass, begging to be let in as the horrible fabric kept us apart. My jaw dropped and I lowered my head as I could feel my body reacting to his, my hands tightly clutching fistfuls of his sweatpants around his knees as the alpha pushed me down further into his hips to completely meld our bodies together.

I can't believe I'm doing something so...dirty...

...

My face was red. And admittedly, it wasn't what I wanted when I crawled out of the alpha's arms. I looked back at him, gulping as I met the alpha's gaze as I curled up in the safety of a pillow on his couch.

"Did I scare you?" He asked softly, scooting away to give me space as I nuzzled my face into the pillow.

"N-No. It was okay." I said, before I gulped as I buried my face into the pillow.

"Okay?" He repeated, gulping as he looked me over.

"I was okay with it." I said, before I turned my head to look at him, showing him a red faced smile. "It was just a little overwhelming."

"I'm sorry, Minnie." He mumbled, crooning softly at me as he came to sit by me, leaning in to kiss my forehead. "I won't do it again."

"I didn't ask for that." I breathed, before I bit my lip. "You just might have to hold me down if you ever want me to cum for you."

...

The alpha's eyes turned amber the moment that it clicked for him what I meant when I said 'overwhelming'. I tucked my face back into the pillow after saying something so dirty to him, before I gulped and reached down to my body. I touched myself, gently cupping my own boner before I rolled myself over to look up at my alpha. He crooned at me and leaned in to kiss me when I faced him, his hand going to gently cup mine that held my dick. I whimpered as he forced me to squeeze myself, before his hand moved to hold my hip.

"Do you want to try it?" He asked, gently cupping my cheek with his other hand. "I promise I'll take good care of you, Minnie."

"I want it." I mumbled softly. "But..."

"But?" He asked as he gently rubbed my hip.

"...I'm scared it will hurt." I said honestly, looking up at him nervously.

"Becaue you're sore?" He asked, giving me an understanding smile.

"No." I gulped. "Because you're too big."

The alpha's smile grew, before he soft chuckled at me and leaned down to kiss me. "I'm not too big, baby." He reassured in between a few kisses on my lips. "It shouldn't hurt. I promise it won't hurt you." He said as he grabbed my other hand to intertwine our fingers. "I'll be as gentle as you need me to be. And we can stop if you're even slightly uncomfortable with anything."

I bit my lip, looking over the alpha's patient smile as he reassured me that everything would be okay. I gulped, before I nodded to him. The alpha smiled, before he kissed me once again.

"I love you, Minnie." He said, gently brushing my hair back from my face as I looked up at him with wide eyes. He smiled at my expression, before the alpha carefully picked me up to transport me to his room. I opened my mouth, wanting to find something to possibly say to him after his confession, but any thoughts I had flew out the window as the alpha laid me down on his bed. I watched nervously as the alpha took off his shirt, before I panicked and started to take off my own.

"Hey." Changbin cooed as my attempts at taking off my own shirt must've come off as more like flailing. "Take it slow, baby. There's no rush. Let me do everything for you, okay, little princess?"

I nodded obediently, even if there was a loud banging going on in the back of my head screaming that I would cum just from him undressing me if I let him. But I was a sitting duck. A very obedient sitting duck that had a handsome man between his legs.

I followed Changbin's every move, every command. His soft voice guided me through him taking off my shirt, a gentle 'arch your back' or 'move your arm' whispered in my ear. My brain was overloaded, and I already felt so overwhelmed by the situation just because I could feel our hips pressing together. I was sure Changbin could see my stress, hell, he could probably smell it. But he didn't stop--no, the moment that he tried to move away from me even a little, I grabbed him. He moved in to kiss me when I grabbed his arm, moving his lips over mine as he held himself up over me on his forearms. He balanced on one to collect my hand that was trembling mid air, debating touching him. He rose my hand above my head, before he collected the other one and intertwined our fingers as he hovered over me on his elbows. I obediently kissed him as the alpha pinned my hands, taking away my attempts at doing anything and sealing off that part of my brain that screamed for me to do something for him. He kissed me over and over, leading me through a makeout as he waited for me to stop panicking and relax beneath him. At which point he started to kiss at my cheek, trailing to my jaw until he was squeezing my hands in his and whispering in my ear.

"Do you trust me, Minnie?"

...

I turned my head to look at him, my blue eyes taking over to show him my utmost obedience to him. I gulped, looking over the sweet smile that the alpha was giving me.

"Yes." I answered softly. "I trust you."

He crooned, before he kissed my cheek. He gently kissed down my jawline and jugular, before his tongue gently brushed over the skin of my neck.

"Do I have your permission to mark you?" He asked in between little kisses on my neck.

"Yes." I breathed, gulping as his lips brushed over the sensitive skin of my scent gland. I tensed as I waited, expecting him to mark me immediately after getting permission. But the alpha just kissed along my neck until he got to my chest. One of his hands let go of mine, sliding slowly down my arm like a threat for it to remain where he'd placed it, before his hand got lower and lower on my body. I gasped in his ear as the alpha bit down on one of my nipples, distracting me from his hand that slipped down into my sweatpants. My free hand immediately went to grab at him, but the alpha didn't budge. I held a fistful of his hair, tugging on it as he sucked on my nipple, playing with it between his teeth before he moved to give the other one the same love. I whimpered, spreading my legs open wider for him as my body started to react to his gentle touches. I let out a soft whine as the alpha blew cold air on the wet, sensitive bud he'd abandoned, before I gasped and arched my back when I felt his fingertip touching my entrance. The alpha let go of my other hand to wrap it around my arched back, kissing at my chest and belly as he gently circled my entrance with his fingertip. He held my body up into his kisses, keeping my back arched for him as he gathered up my slick and pressed a finger inside of me. His large knuckle caught on my rim, with the alpha applying more pressure to sink his finger all the way inside of me. I squirmed beneath him as his finger reached further than my own had throughout my heat. He kissed my lower belly as he let me feel his finger, before he tested the waters of giving me a second one.

"That's too much--" I whimpered, attempting to close my legs to stop him. But he pinned my legs down and glanced up at me, watching my nervous expression as he snuggled his second finger inside of me.

"It's not too much." He said as he curled his fingers inside of me, before he began to scissor my body open. "Your body is taking all of it so well, Minnie. You really are my perfect little omega."

I whimpered at his words, propping myself up on my elbows to watch him with furrowed brows and a trembling bottom lip as the alpha pulled my sweatpants and underwear down to expose my soaked lower half. He kissed along the base of my dick, his tongue dragging over my skin with each open mouthed kiss until his lips had wandered up to my tip. He kissed the slit of my tip, mouthing along the sensitive skin. He took my leaking tip into his mouth, making my entire body tense as he let my dick sink down to the back of his throat. I whimpered, pushing into his mouth instinctively and letting my torso drop back down onto the bed as Changbin dropped his jaw to let my dick snuggle into his throat. I moaned out as the alpha sucked on it, using his free hand to guide me as I started to hump his mouth. I closed my eyes, thoughtlessly enjoying the wet, tight mouth squeezing me as Changbin's fingers worked on loosening me up, a third finger slipping inside of my body without me even noticing. My soft moans became higher in pitch the more that the alpha rubbed my insides, my attempts at mating his mouth becoming more desperate as I could feel my body approaching a high. And the moment that I tried to squirm away from Changbin to avoid the pleasure, the alpha held me down tight and worked my body harder. I cried out as the alpha forced me to orgasm, my body soaking his fingers and leaking pathetically into his mouth as I panted and shuddered to my orgasm. My belly hollowed and I arched my hips, whimpering as the alpha swallowed everything that I'd leaked out into his mouth. He let my dick fall out of his mouth and tap into my belly, spent and used with one orgasm. The alpha let his fingers slide out of me, my slick oozing out with them as the sweet scent of fruit began to fill the room. I watched with a blush as Changbin licked the thick slick off of his fingers, his eyes amber as he used his other hand to pull down his sweatpants and underwear.

I gulped, staring nervously as his dick stood at attention as soon as it was freed. Barely able to hold itself up under it's own weight, it was leaking excitedly and waiting for the chance to breed the omega in front of it. The alpha reached over to his nightstand to grab a condom, while I continued to stare at the heavy cock waiting to fill me up. My mouth was open, breathing through it after my fruit of Changbin's labor had left me unable to catch my breath. As the alpha was opening up the condom wrapper, I sat up just enough to reach out and gently touch it. The alpha looked at me when I touched his dick, rocking his hips into my hand when my fingers wrapped around his length. I looked up at him, a blush on my face as the alpha mated my hand slowly, rhythmically.

"Are you still okay?" Changbin asked, leaning in to kiss me. "It's still not too late to stop if you're scared."

"I'm okay." I said, smiling at him. "Just...please be gentle with me."

"I will, baby." He crooned, before he kissed me and rolled the condom he had onto his length. He laid me down onto the bed, pulling pillows closed to me to give me a softer bed to lay on as he moved his hips closer to mine. He kicked his sweatpants off the rest of the way and tossed all of our clothes off of his bed, before the alpha leaned in to kiss me.

"Do you want to squeeze my hand?" He asked, offering his hand to me as I could feel his tip brushing into my entrance.

"Please." I gulped, looking up at him hopefully. He smiled at me and took my hand in his, intertwining our fingers before his other hand went to hold his base as he pushed his tip inside of me. My breathing quickened, nerves threatening to overwhelm me once again as I could feel him sliding inside of me. But just as the alpha had promised, there was no pain. Though it took a few tries for my body to fit him inside, the alpha sank inside and spread me apart easily once his tip was in. I closed my eyes tightly, trembling and squeezing Changbin's hand as he bottomed out inside of me. I felt his lips brushing into mine, giving me a reassuring kiss once he'd fully sank inside of me.

"Are you okay?" He asked softly, brushing my hair back until it was neatly out of my face.

"I'm okay." I said, cracking my eyes open to look at him. The alpha kissed my brow, smiling at me when I showed hesitancy with him. He then kissed my lips, before he began to slowly pull out of me. He held himself up with one arm caving into the bed next to my head, while the other one held my hand to comfort me, gently rubbing the back of my hand with his thumb as our intertwined fingers rested on my belly. I sucked in a breath as the alpha began to push back inside, letting my slick ease his movements with a few slow thrusts until the alpha could freely move his hips. My body gave way, letting the alpha build up a rhythm to his thrusts. I whimpered beneath him, blushing as the alpha watched my expressions for any sort of discomfort as he found a pace that didn't overwhelm me. He groaned at my body squeezed him, rocking his hips back and forth into mine with strong thrusts that made my eyes roll back. My jaw dropped, moans forcing their way out of my body as the alpha found a rhythm, my own body getting more and more sensitive with each rub inside of me. I whimpered, each whimper getting louder and higher in pitch until I cried out. The sound of the headboard banging into the wall matched the pounding of my heart beat, my eyes tightly closing and taking in the wet noises, the bangs and the deep groans and breathing of Changbin on top of me.

"H-Hyung, I--" I gulped, a whimper being forced out of me with each thrust of his hips into mine that lurched my body back and forth. "I n-need--" I began to sob, arching my back as the alpha let go of my hand to hold himself up with both of his. I heaved, loudly panting as the alpha let go of me, the only thing holding us together being our connection between our legs. I reached up, holding the alpha's waist and whimpering up at him as the alpha stared down at my expression of ecstasy, finding confidence in it.

"What do you need, baby?" He groaned, leaning down to kiss me and holding himself up on his forearms again as he humped me, rolling his hips down into mine.

"M-More--" I begged between little sobs. The alpha crooned at me, kissing away the overwhelmed tears in my eyes. He obediently began to thrust harder for me, his lower half doing all the work as his arms wrapped around my body to cuddle me. I purred brokenly at him, my legs spreading open to welcome him in. The alpha grabbed one of my thighs, holding my legs wide open as he slammed his hips down into mine. I wailed as the alpha's hips reached deeper the wider my legs got, while the alpha crooned between his own groans and kissed away my tears and whispered soft praises into my ear.

"Princess," He breathed, holding my body tighter in his grip as his thrusts began to stutter, a low groan rumbling in his chest. "I love you so much. I don't even know how it happened so fast, but I--" He began to pant too, before he cringed as his thrusts got smaller and more rapid, aiming for a spot inside of me that drove me over the edge and forced my body to tighten around him the more pleasure I felt. "I want to be with you. Can I be your boyfriend? Please, Minnie? I promise I'll treat you like a queen, I'll take care of you, I'll--"

The alpha didn't get to finish his sentence before I was yanking him down into a kiss. I cried out against his lips as I came, my body squeezing so tight around Changbin that the alpha looked like he was having trouble thrusting anymore. He groaned against my lips, before his head lowered. He pressed his forehead into my collarbones as he came inside of me, filling up his condom and warming us both up on the inside as I could feel a knot expanding at the base of the alpha's dick. I whimpered, panicking just a bit when he began to knot me, but the alpha sank his teeth down into my neck before I could form a coherent thought about his knot. His knot swelled, forcing my body back open for him as his body locked him tightly inside of me, while his bite finished the job on claiming me as his. I hyperventilated, looking up at him in fear for a few moments as I expected his knot to get bigger and hurt me like I'd expected this whole time, but instead, it sent little waves of pleasure through my body to have an alpha snuggly locked inside of me.

"Hey--" Changbin began to try and comfort me the moment that his mark was laid. "I'm sorry, baby, are you okay? I thought it was okay for me to mark you, did you not want it--?" He asked nervously, looking worried as I slowly started to calm my breathing the more that I realized his knot wasn't gonna kill me.

"No, I'm okay." I mumbled, looking up at him and gulped. "Your knot just scared me. I expected it to hurt." I mumbled honestly, before I looked down between us. Taking in the sight of my cum soiled belly and our sweaty bodies, as well as the way that we were still intimately connected together. I gulped, before I looked back up at him. Finding a worried expression on his face, I bit my lip before I grabbed the alpha to pull him down to me. I wrapped my arms around him, hugging him tight as I brought him in for a kiss. My body was trembling, still coming down from my orgasm as I tried reassuring my alpha back with a kiss. And though my thoughts were muddled--there was one thing in my head that was screaming clearly.

"I love you too, Changbin hyung. And yes, I would love to be boyfriends with you."

~A few months later~

"I can't believe that man actually proposed to me."

The room erupted in giggles at the words of the youngest, who was laying on the floor of my bedroom with the most exasperated expression on his face, nursing a glass of wine and looking like a funny cross between so done and so happy.

"You said yes, so clearly you believed it some." Jisung said with a grin before he sipped his own wine. "At least it didn't happen in a few months of you dating like you thought."

"A year isn't that much better."

"Well--it's better than Seungmin." Felix said, sending me a playful grin after his jab. "He and Changbin hyung are getting married after being together for four months."

"Hey..." I pouted. "Don't judge me. He's the love of my life."

"I'm not judging. You two are the cutest couple I've ever seen. Most are out of the puppy love stage at this point. But you two are just as clingy as ever. I still can't believe that you two moved in together after two months of dating. But after that, it's harder to disbelieve that he proposed to you after that four months."

"It's cause he loves me." I curled my lip. "And I love him."

The other three omegas giggled at me when I began to pout about Felix's teasing. Felix scooted over to hug me, rubbing my back and encouraging me as I sipped my own wine.

"Next thing we know, you're gonna have a bun in the oven." Jisung said, smiling at me mischievously. "Are you gonna have a godfather for your pups?"

"Pups aren't in the stars!" I quickly said with wide eyes. "Changbin hyung is still busy with college, and...I have so much writing to do after my book got picked up by that big publisher, so..." I bit my lip. "We probably won't be having any pups for a long time."

"You say that like you didn't call us over here to check your pregnancy tests for you." Jeongin snorted, making Jisung and Felix look over at him with wide eyes.

"What?! He didn't say that to me!" Felix screeched.

"Me neither! What?!" Jisung squealed, before I was receiving smacks on my thighs as the two oldests scooted up into my business. "Is he serious, Seungmin? Did you call us over here for pregn-"

"Shhh!" I hissed, putting my finger to my lips. "Yes! And I kept it a secret from you two loud mouths so Binnie hyung wouldn't know what's up!"

Both omegas grinned, looking as proud as they could be while I protectively held my belly that I was already dead set on being full with Changbin's pup.

I know it's really bad timing for us, but...

I swear that I'm pregnant. We had an accident, and...it's highly likely since I didn't take any contraceptives afterwards, but...

"If you are pregnant, Min, I can promise you that Changbin hyung will be happy even if it's a surprise." Felix said, trying to reassure me as the worry must've been written on my face.

"I'm almost positive that I'm pregnant." I mumbled as I stood up on my knees. "We had an accident a month ago, and..." I gulped as I lifted up my shirt to show them my bloated belly. "It's...getting bigger. And my heat is a week late, and...Changbin hyung has been commenting on it about how he doesn't smell me preheating. I've been too scared to mate with him lately because I'm worried he'll connect the dots. I don't know how to tell him..."

"Well you need to know if you're pregnant first. Though that does look pretty solid." Jisung said as he pat my belly. Followed by Jeongin and Felix both curiously patting my belly, making me smile at them.

"I already took some tests, I just...haven't looked at them yet. I'm scared to."

"Where are they?" Jisung asked with an excited grin.

"In the bathr--"

"Babe?"

I flinched when I heard Changbin's voice. I looked back at the door as the alpha peeked into our bedroom, a confused smile on his face. "Are you sure you want pickles...and chocolate for dinner?"

.

.

.

I nodded, while all three omegas behind me had very amused smirks on their faces. Changbin looked weirded out, but he left after I had confirmed my dinner preference. And two seconds later, all four of us paused when we heard a loud yell that sounded suspiciously a lot like Hyunjin.

"I told you he was pregnant! Who the fuck eats pickles and chocolate together?!"

Jeongin got up in the blink of an eye and left the room. And a minute later, he returned with his alpha, who looked like he'd been instilled with the fear of a thousand gods after his omega had gotten ahold of him.

"Sit." Jeongin commanded, and the alpha did. At the doorway, which didn't seem to be Jeongin's intention, but the omega just rolled his eyes at his alpha and came to sit back down with us.

"What did I do?" Hyunjin asked, looking at Jeongin like a kicked puppy.

"Hush." Jeongin scolded. "You'll understand in a minute."

The alpha pouted, but sat with his knees to his chest and pouted in the corner. Jisung and Felix both giggled at Hyunjin's dramatics, while I curled my lip at the alpha.

"What were you guys talking about out there?" I asked as I wrapped my arms around my belly protectively.

"Changbin hyung said you've been acting weird and thinks you're gonna call off your engagement but I think you're pregnant." The alpha said confidently after being acknowledged. "Pickles and chocolate are an atrocious mix." He added in, making me curl my lip.

"I wanted something sweet and sour..."

"Then why didn't you just buy chicken?" The alpha asked, while all three of the other omegas hissed at him for upsetting me.

"Hush! He might actually be pregnant and he's freaking out about it!" Jeongin scolded under his breath, making Hyunjin pause.

"Oh."

.

.

.

"Who's gonna be the godfather?" Hyunjin asked, crawling over to us all quickly to check me and my bloated belly out. Then, all four of us were hissing as the excited alpha sniffed my neck. "You don't smell different. Aren't pregnant omegas supposed to smell sweeter?"

Hyunjin got thwacked on the head by an angry Felix, while Jeongin looked exasperated once again by his own alpha. Meanwhile, Jisung attempted to comfort me as Hyunjin's excitable attitude regarding my possible pregnancy when I was scared of it was killing my own attitude about it.

"Come here." Jeongin commanded to his alpha, making the alpha obediently go to his omega after getting hissed at by so many omegas. Hyunjin crawled into his omega's lap and crooned, seeking comfort from his omega that looked very unimpressed by him in the moment--though he did give his alpha a few kisses to make sure he knew that he wasn't that mad.

Once the alpha was contained, I sighed. I curled into myself and lowered my gaze, before I looked at Jisung. "The tests are in the bathroom." I said, pointing at the master bathroom door. I smiled as Jisung and Felix both raced to get to the pregnancy tests first, while Jeongin was wrapping his arms around his alpha's waist and kissing at his alpha's cheeks to make him smile after he'd been scolded. I could hear Jisung and Felix bickering in my bathroom about the tests, before there were two excited screams and the two stumbled over each other to try and get through the bathroom door at the same time.

"Pregnant! He's pregnant!" Jisung whispered excitedly, dropping down next to me and making me gasp when he kissed my belly. "There's a puppy in there!" He giggled, pointing at my belly as Felix excitedly dropped to the floor to kiss my belly too. I whimpered at them, watching my two excited friends as they celebrated my pregnancy, while I was still nervous about it.

"Changbin hyung is gonna reject our pup..." I whimpered, my pessimistic words making the celebrating stop in an instant.

"Uh--if he does, I'm kicking his ass." Jisung said confidently, before he hugged me. "But he won't. And that's good, cause I don't think I can kick his ass." The omega joked. "But my man could."

"I don't want him to get hurt. I'm just scared that he's gonna be upset about it. I should've taken contraceptives when we had that accident. It's my fault that I didn't at least try to prevent it, and now--"

"And now, you get to be a mommy and Changbin hyung is probably gonna scream and go run his credit card a thousand times when he realizes that there's a pup on the way." Jeongin said, smiling at me as he laid his chin on his alpha's shoulder. "You're gonna blink and your apartment is gonna be full of pup stuff."

"I hope so. But I--"

"Baby?"

I flinched a second time when I heard Changbin's voice. I looked back at Changbin, the fear probably evident in my eyes as he looked confused. The alpha was holding a plate with a sliced pickle on it and a whole chocolate bar as well as some chocolate he must've melted for me, and he came to deliver my 'dinner' that I was sure the alpha only intended to be a snack for me.

"What's wrong, baby?" Changbin asked as he set the plate down on the ottoman at the end of our bed, before he crouched next to me to hug me. "Does your stomach hurt?" He asked, looking down at the way that I was holding my belly. I quickly let go of my belly, while all of the onlookers were looking between us curiously.

"We'll step outside. Call if you need us." Jisung whispered in my ear, winking at me. I panicked, opening my mouth to object to them all leaving, but the four of them were quickly leaving the room before I could think of a way to beg them to stay without making it obvious that I didn't want to be alone with Changbin. The alpha looked confused and concerned as he sat down beside me, holding my hand as he waited for me to say something. But I just lowered my head and gulped, avoiding acknowledging him at all.

"Baby?" The alpha called softly. "Is there anything that you want to tell me?"

...

I bit my lip, slowly turning my head to look up at him. The alpha gave me a reassuring smile, though it couldn't hide the fear in his eyes. I opened my mouth, trying to find the words to say, but I eventually sighed and looked away from him.

...

"...You...aren't having seconds thoughts on getting married, are you?" The alpha asked softly, squeezing my hand. "I know I said that I'd like to wait two years before our actual wedding, but...if it means that much to you, we can get married when you wanted to. It might be hard, but I'm sure we could figure it out. I don't want to upset you, baby. And I really don't want you to second guess us. I know I was probably moving too fast and acting crazy when I proposed to you, but--"

"I'm not second guessing our wedding." I said, interrupting the alpha with a soft voice. "I agree that waiting two years would be better so we aren't rushing, and...we'll be able to save up for it. But...that's not why I'm upset."

"Did I do something wrong?" He asked, gulping as he looked over my expression. "If I did something, I'll do whatever I can to make it right, Minnie. I want you to be happy, I--"

...

As Changbin began to ramble about all the things that he would improve on just to make me happy, I let out a sigh. A simple sound that made the alpha shut up immediately, fear obvious in the alpha's eyes. He let go of my hand, gulping as he offered me space when I didn't respond to anything he said.

"Hyung?" I spoke, my voice firmer than I would've expected in the moment.

"Yes, love?"

...

"...I'm pregnant."

...

After a long silence between us, I finally braved looking at the alpha. I glanced over his expression, trying to understand what it could possibly mean as the alpha was staring down at my belly. I chewed on my lip, waiting for my alpha to say anything, but--as the alpha began to move, I quickly felt any sort of worries that I'd had washing away the moment that my alpha kissed me.

"You're really pregnant?" Changbin asked, smiling against my lips. "We're having a pup?"

"Yes." I breathed, looking over my alpha's expression with wide eyes, before I began to smile as my alpha was beaming with excitement. I purred as the alpha kissed me again, giggling as he began to lay me down onto the floor. Soon, I was blushing and covering my mouth as the alpha began to praise my body with touches, showcasing to me how much he was happy about my pregnancy with love on my body.

.

"...Is everything okay in h--OH MY GOD THEY'RE FUCKING!"

"JISUNG!"
