Chương 3: A Typical Student Life 2

Minwoo gives his last luggage to the courier. Now all that is left with him is a suitcase and another backpack with all his essentials. Signing the important documents and checking that everything is okay, he returns back to his hotel room.

The young alpha lies on the bed.

In a few weeks, he will be leaving here for good. Twelve years, and he is finally going to return to Korea. Sighing at the depressing thought, Minwoo takes out his phone to call one of his friends to hang out tonight. Since it will be the last time for a long while before he will meet them again, he plans to spend his last weeks in the Netherlands partying and hanging out with his friends. Especially since school is out and his parent are already in Korea, he has practically no responsibilities for three more weeks!

Smirking, Minwoo checks for another phone number, one of his favourite omega, and proceeds to call her. He is really hoping to find her in her heat but since it will be the last time, this will do. He also checks for another one of his omega male 'friend' for tonight, to keep him entertained after his hang out session.

European omegas will probably be the one thing he will miss the most once he returns back to Korea, among all others. That is, unless he finds Korean omegas he really like, which then, he probably will not care about the ones here any longer. Although, he doubts that thought because he does not really like Asian omega's scent.

Not that he hates it, they are still omegas after all. But Asian omega's scent are just not doing it for him. He tried a few, but none gave him the relief and satisfaction a European one can give from their mere pheromones.

A reply comes from his favourite woman, and Minwoo grins widely. He grabs his car keys and makes his way to her neighbourhood, speeding as fast as he could without getting in trouble with the police.

'Jun!' Wonho rolls his eyes, slanting back on his chair. New friend requests from random strangers, obviously from Junjie's one-night stands. Every single time that guy goes out, be it for club activities or partying, he will manage to catch some keen eyes.

It would still be fine if he ignores them, but not Junjie. He loves the attention. He loves leading them on. And that would not matter if his friend cares to continue doing so or let them down clearly but no, Junjie gets tired of them the very next day and would always leave them hanging.

What Wonho never gets is the reason why all of them still hope that Junjie would actually reconsider them, even going as far as finding about Wonho and adding him in various social media just to get close to Junjie; because the man does not own his own social media.

'I told you to stop! It's annoying!' Wonho stares at the man who only lifts his shoulders in ignorance. 'How did they know me anyway? You told them?'

'Don't flatter yourself Wono-yah. I don't carry around your stupid picture.'

'Urghhh… You're so ugly why would they even look at you.' Wonho retorts, clicking the reject button to clear his notifications. Behind him, he can hear Junjie smirking, 'Same goes to you. You and your pale skin.' The man replied, referring to Wonho's usually weak appearance.

'Says the dude with huge eyes and dark skin.' Again, Wonho counters, irritated.

'I'm the perfect human being.' Junjie sits up and puts a hand on his brown hair, messing them. 'According to those who strangers who added you. Like 100, 200 people?'

'Pfffttt!!' Wonho blows. Yes, he admits he once found the man who looks exactly the opposite of himself to be the very definition of someone good-looking. Though he himself, with his cold, sharp eyes and pale white skin is also handsome, albeit not in the traditional way. Junjie used to call him his handsome vampire prince in Chinese when they were dating, he forgot the exact word now.

The only reason he came to dislike Junjie's attractive characteristics is due to his fans who kept on pestering Wonho, even went as far as calling him ugly during their school days. He knew that was not his best friend's fault, but little by little he came to grow to hate the man's dark skin and huge eyes. He still loves his friend dearly though.

Which, is also the reason why his current taste in beauty differs from most people. Instead of the typical doe-eyed beauty, and tall, dark hunks, Wonho prefers those with smaller eyes. Just like Hwang Jinyoung.

Wonho jumps on the bed to tackle his vain friend, not noticing the sleeping Mengyao beside him. Accidentally hitting the younger man who woke up abruptly when he felt himself falling out of bed, Wonho gulps.

'WHO PUSHED ME??' Both seniors shuffle away from the bed and run out of the room as if their life depended on it. It does. Because nobody messes with Mengyao.

After a long run outside, the two friends finally took a rest on a bench near the gym, breathing heavily. 'Wono you bring any coins?' Junjie asks in between breaths. Wonho puts his hands in his pocket and takes out some coins, counting them before handing it to the other. Junjie gets up and heads towards a nearby vending machine. Waiting, lying back to stare at the summer sky, Wonho closes his eyes.

'Wonho? What're you doing here?' He hears the familiar high-pitched voice he always loves, and sits upright, a little too fast, which causes his hands to slip behind him and him falling back down. 'Owww…'

'Ouch!' He hears a faint laugh and feels the man sitting on the bench with him. 'Gosh you're sweaty.'

'You too!' he replies as enthusiastically as he can, which is with a voice only slightly higher than his normal deep one. 'It's kinda early for you right?'

'Yeah, we had exams today. But I think I did good. I think.' Jinyoung pouts as he recalls all the answers he wrote. Wonho cannot help but simper at the adorable sight. 'Which one?'

'Classical dance, the written one.' Jinyoung stretches his arms and lies against the table to support himself. Readjusting his posture, he mentions, 'Gosh I need a work-out.'

Wonho sees Junjie in the corner of his eyes already back with a bottle of water. However, once the man notices them together, he gives Wonho a thumbs up and makes himself disappear. Wonho smirks back and returns his attention towards the smaller omega sitting right next to him. 'You didn't dance yet you still sweat this much. Ewww.'

'Hey it's hot today. You sweat just as much.'

'No, I was running.'

'In your slippers?' Jinyoung points the obvious and stares back at him.

'Under certain circumstances, I had to go for a run in my slippers.'

'Uh-uh.' The omega glares at him, squinting his already small eyes, an act which Wonho always finds cute since his already small eyes would disappear completely.

'Anyway I'm thirsty. You got any water?' He pinches the fluffy cheeks to change the subject. Jinyoung still keeps his glare while his hands search around in his gym bag and takes out a big bottle. Wonho takes a few gulps and passes it back to the owner, who also take a few sips himself. Feeling like teasing the smaller one, he states calmly. 'We just kissed indirectly.'

And as he expected, a flushed Jinyoung made his entrance. But what he isn't expecting is a hand on his face pushing it back. 'I will freaking kiss you if you say that again. No more innocent relationship!'

'Yaaah!' Wonho exclaims. Though they have been seeing each other for more than a year now, they never made their relationship official, even among themselves. Wonho refuses to do so as he assumes it will pressure the omega to sleep with him, just because of the status of 'omega'. Of course, he would love to sleep with Jinyoung, just, not like this. Not because the man must do it.

Being the only beta in his family besides his dad, he could only watch as his siblings being pressured into having sex earlier either because they didn't want to go through their heat alone out of shame, or because they were ostracized by their classmates when they refused to sleep with interested alphas.

Apparently having an alpha interested in an omega is a 'privilege'.

Wonho will never understand that kind of thinking - that omegas are expected to lie with other people just because their roles in society had always been 'breeders'. And the fact that most of omegas think they should abide, some even love to do so, just because they feel like they have done their role in society once they do.

Wonho hates it.

Which is why he set the ground rule with Jinyoung - to keep it innocent until they are both ready to take it to another level. He is not implying that he is innocent though, because Wonho has a handful of experience; with Junjie especially, during their middle school days when both were happily experimenting with each other albeit never doing stuffs that involves penetration.

It does come up to him sometimes, that maybe he is only holding himself back because Jinyoung is an omega. Because Wonho is confident that he would be sleeping with him if he is a beta or an alpha. There is just something about omegas that bothers him in ways he does not understand.

He does not hate them, but he certainly does not like them either. With an exception for his ball of fluff that is.
