"of course i don't like jinhyuk" wooseok crossed his arms, avoiding hangyul and yohan's teasing gaze as they worked on their homework at the cafe, "he's always following me around and that was getting annoying anyways"

hangyul rolled his eyes, snorting a little bit, "we saw how you were depressed when jinhyuk went out with that girl today. don't act like we don't know about your little crush on him" hangyul smirked.

yohan sipped on his drink before looking at wooseok with a grin, "are you perhaps, jealous?"

"me? jealous of what?" wooseok mumbled quietly under his breath, looking out the glass window from inside the cafe, "i don't like him"

"he's never going to admit it" hangyul muttered to himself, picking up from where he was writing.

he knows wooseok was denying himself. in fact, he's never seen wooseok so down today. coincidence or not, the ice prince was feeling sad because his little puppy wasn't following him around.

"he's handsome and all" wooseok mumbled quietly to himself as hangyul and yohan were focused on their work, "why do i even bother thinking of him?" he slapped his cheeks to snap out of his thoughts.

it wasn't like jinhyuk was a bad person. in fact, wooseok found it amusing at how hard the alpha was trying. at first, the ice prince didn't like him at all, but maybe he opened his heart a little to jinhyuk once he saw how hard the boy was trying.

it's been months since jinhyuk first approached him. yet, he still found him annoying as always and stupidly tall for no reason. if it weren't for seungyoun, he wouldn't have jinhyuk waiting for him at the gate every morning to take him to class or at the entrance of the omega campus, ready to escort him home.

"wooseok must be lucky to have someone whipped for him"

"i'm surprised he didn't kick the alpha away. almost every alpha is whipped for him!"

"it's lee jinhyuk oppa from the alpha campus! wooseok oppa wouldn't kick someone so handsome away!"

"but they don't seem to be dating. i saw jinhyuk oppa going out with someone else the other day"

wooseok was distracted by everyone talking about him that he could barely focus on his lunch. he didn't know people were that observant. he didn't know omegas gossiped that much. he was glad he wasn't on campus with alphas or betas or else news would spread like wildfire.

"wooseok hyung" byungchan pouted, seeing the lost expression on the older's face, "are you okay?"

wooseok nodded, continuing to poke at his food until he looked at the time and rushed to his next class. he didn't know how popular he was. yet, he didn't know whether it was a good or bad thing. he had jinhyuk wrapped around his pinky, but he was feeling some sort of strange feeling as he heard people talk about jinhyuk.

"it's called jealousy" seungyoun's cocky smirk made wooseok want to wipe it off his face, "so you're the type of person who don't want other people talking about your boyfriend"

"i am this close to smacking you" wooseok muttered, glaring at him from across the couch, "he's not my boyfriend and i'm not jealous" he crossed his arms, not sparing to look at seungyoun who was sitting across from him.

"well unlike you" seungyoun chuckled, picking up his cup of coffee, "i actually admit my feelings"

wooseok rolled his eyes, throwing one of the pillows on the couch at the alpha, "and your house smells like hangyul. are you two finally dating yet?"

"of course not" seungyoun mumbled, putting down the pillow he caught when wooseok threw it, "we're just friends"

"and you say you admit your feelings" wooseok scoffed, taking off his spectacles and cleaning them, "everyone knows you like hangyul"

"but he doesn't like me back" seungyoun rubbed the back of his nape in frustration, "i'm sure he still has feelings for that minjun guy"

"and what makes you so sure of that?" wooseok put his glasses back on, adjusting his vision as he looked over at the alpha, "he sleeps over at your place every week and allows him to take him back to the dorms. if that doesn't scream that he likes you then i don't know what does"

seungyoun smiled to himself, feeling a little bit better. maybe it wasn't unrequited love after all. he was still happy if hangyul just wanted to be friends. close friends would even be better.

"and what about jinhyuk's actions" seungyoun raised his eyebrow, "doesn't that scream that he likes you?"

wooseok clicked his tongue in annoyance, muttering under his breath, "he's not really showing his actions lately since all he's been doing is hanging around that girl"

"what was that?" seungyoun looked at the omega with pure confusion on his face, "are you mad that he's not following you around anymore?"

another pillow came flying to seungyoun's face, "i already said i'm not jealous! i don't even like him! he's just a stupid alpha that's incredibly handsome!" before he realized the words slipped out of his mouth, the alpha sent a teasing smile at him.

"incredibly handsome huh?" seungyoun's laugh filled his condo, "that's rare to hear from someone like you"

wooseok couldn't help but flush in embarrassment, "people are always gossiping about him on the omega campus so it just slipped out of my mouth!"

"so you've thought about it? jinhyuk is handsome then huh?"

"i swear i'm going to get back at you one day cho seungyoun!" the omega huffed in annoyance, the alpha clearly finding the reaction amusing.

"so you didn't deny it. the ice prince thinks jinhyuk is handsome" a giggle escaped the taller's mouth as he leaned back on the couch, holding his stomach from laughing so hard.

that's when wooseok swore he'd get back at seungyoun. maybe seungyoun wasn't wrong about him thinking jinhyuk is handsome, but he isn't as handsome as him of course. maybe he'd get back at the alpha by telling hangyul a bunch of embarrassing things about seungyoun.

yeah, that'd ruin seungyoun's image. or it'd just make hangyul even more whipped for an alpha like seungyoun.
