ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ

matthew breathed heavily, his chest rising up and down as he tried to regain his composure after jiwoong practically knotted him for the fifth time in two days. he shouldn't have underestimated an alpha in rut, because jiwoong's stamina was anything but weak. if he wasn't fucking to knot matthew, he would be making the younger suck his dick or busy himself by teasing the younger.

"h-hyung . . ." matthew panted, letting out a soft moan when he felt the older pull out, leaving him empty, but full of cum, "n-no more"

jiwoong looked at the wrecked boy under him, letting out a chuckle as he moved to sit beside matthew. he ran his hand through the brunette's hair, moving the sweaty bangs away from the younger's forehead, "for now"

matthew shook his head, nuzzling his face into the older's side as he curled up into the older, searching for the warmth, only to making jiwoong grin, "jiwoon hyung is mean."

"yeah?" jiwoong raised an eyebrow, cradling the boy in his arms, "i could go again, but i'm not feeling as horny as the other times i had my ruts. you're doing something to matthew. you're driving me crazy"

jiwoong did think it was odd. he could normally go for several more rounds, needing to desperately knot someone or something in order to soothe the aching heat in his body. betas didn't provide the same amount of pleasure or effect that omegas did, but he didn't do relationships with omegas. the only way he can go through his rut was if he had someone to fuck, and this time it happened to be matthew.

"no more," matthew mumbled, feeling his eyelids flutter from exhaustion, only for jiwoong to smile softly at the boy. he didn't know how adorable the boy was. it was such a shame he wasn't interested in pursuing a relationship with the boy. he was already hurting the boy enough by leaving him after the rut.

he had to. he had no other choice, even if matthew was one of ricky and hanbin's friends. he was especially scared of hanbin though because he saw the way the younger would look at him. if looks could kill, jiwoong would probably be dead already. he couldn't bring himself to pursue a relationship, at least not now.

"jiwoon hyung," matthew mumbled, looking up at the older who was staring at him with almost soft, loving eyes, however he could smell a hint of sadness at the way the older's brown sugar scent wavered.

jiwoong shook his head, sighing to himself as he looked at the boy, "yeah? what's wrong, chu?"

matthew's heart skipped a beat. jiwoong called him a nickname. it sounded so lovely hearing it from jiwoong. it was different to when his friends would call him it. oh boy was he so in love with this alpha.

"n-nothing," matthew looked away with flushed cheeks, attempting to get up and wash himself up in the hotel bathroom but felt too weak to do so, making him fall back on the alpha who caught him perfectly, "i-i'm gonna go wash up."

oh right. they were in a hotel since jiwoong wasn't able to control himself and wanted to pounce on matthew right on campus after their little make out session. he had had enough of whatever was going on that afternoon, because he really couldn't control himself after seeing matthew and the situation with seobin. jiwoong was barely able to get to his place, dick throbbing in his pants and with matthew's hands dangerously around his waist, he definitely couldn't control himself.

"careful, cutie," jiwoong chuckled, picking the boy up swiftly in his arms, "you'll hurt yourself."

it was bittersweet. jiwoong found matthew to be an amazing partner to have for his rut. the boy was so obedient, so sweet, and so easily fragile, that he didn't want him to ever leave. but matthew knew the conditions. they were only friends with benefits. there would be no strings attached and no feelings involved no matter how much sex they had with each other, and they had a lot of sex within the past month. and when jiwoong finally uses someone to help with his rut, he never comes back to them. he shouldn't.

"mm," matthew mumbled, hooking his arms around the older's neck, inhaling the warm scent from his scent gland, "you smell good, hyungie."

jiwoong chuckled, kicking the door of the bathroom open before settling the boy down into the tub and running the hot water. he ran the water over his hands, testing the temperature to make sure the small boy wouldn't burn his skin or freeze to death.

"jiwoon hyung," matthew pouted, looking at the older with the most adorable eyes jiwoong has ever seen that he couldn't help but coo.

"yes matthew," jiwoong replied, finding a random bath bomb on the sink and throwing it into the water, before sitting down next to the bathtub on the cold, tiled floor, "was i too rough? does it hurt?"

matthew's cheeks flushed, "o-of course not, hyung!," he turned he head away to ignore the gaze that the alpha had, something in the middle of a smirk and a devilish grin that made his heart race.

maybe matthew did lie. truth be told, he couldn't really remember everything when they were doing it, because jiwoong always made him feel good. he would be sucking on the older's cock, but jiwoong would softly rub the back of his head and encourage him with nice words, even though jiwoong deepthroated him sometimes. the pain was definitely worth it, because being with jiwoong was better than anything. he'd rather have jiwoong for himself than for another omega, yet alone a beta.

"j-just!," matthew turned his head back to look at the older, "come sit with me." matthew reached over to tug the older's hand, who gladly accepted it and stepped over get into the tub that was filling with warm water to about half way now, the sweet smell of the bath bomb filling the air as it floated around, fizzing up the water around them.

"matthew," jiwoong lifted the boy into his lap ever so effortlessly and matthew could feel the older's cock rub against his back, making him shiver. jiwoong's dick was now pressed up against his own stomach and the younger's back and he swore he felt the younger grind his ass back, catching him by surprise, "fuck matthew, this was supposed to be a cute, warm bath."

matthew's ears turned red as he turned back to look at the older, giggling mischievously, "sorry hyung. but i thought we friends with benefits don't do things like this together."

matthew didn't know why that had slipped out of his mouth. he'd been wondering if jiwoong treated all of his flings this way. if so, then jiwoong would definitely make anyone fall for him, and matthew was no exception. he enjoyed this, even when he knew jiwoong didn't like him.

"it doesn't mean anything." the alpha replied coldly, turning away to look at the younger. all of a sudden, the bath felt awkward now. matthew's back was still against jiwoong's chest but the air felt tense and cold. the omega lowered his head, feeling a sense of disappointment that she should've expected since the beginning. jiwoong did treat all of his flings like this and nothing would change that.

he looked down to see the older's big hands snake around his waist, holding him closer. he finally seemed to relax in the alpha's arms, letting out a soft sigh. his lips curved into a smile as he felt the alpha's lips on his neck, sucking onto his skin softly and nipping at his smooth skin.

"j-jiwoon," matthew's breath hitched when he felt the alpha suck on his scent gland. he'd always avoided the older being near his scent gland, always turning his head away or distracting the older with another kiss so that the older wouldn't be near such a sensitive spot. he was scared the alpha would recognize his scent.

"you smell good, baby," jiwoong's voice sounded muffled against the younger's skin. jiwoong's head was clouded again, the thought of the sweet scent engulfing him made his dick twitch.

matthew whined, feeling jiwoong's fingers on his nipples, rubbing, pinching, and pulling at them, "i-it's from the bath bomb." matthew was somehow still sane enough to make up and excuse so that it wouldn't draw suspicion to him.

"yeah?" jiwoong mumbled, smirking at the brunette who was twitching at every twist and pinch of his nipples, "you're so sensitive."

"s-stop it," matthew cried from the oversensitivity, pawing at jiwoong's hand to push them away but to no avail. he felt slick start to drip out of his ass, along with the cum that had probably been in there for about half an hour now. he crossed his legs, splashing water out of the tub occasionally when he twitched, leaning his head back onto the older's shoulder when he felt jiwoong leaning over in front of him to suck of them.

matthew turned around all the way, helping the alpha get easy access, as he nuzzled his head into the juncture of jiwoong's neck. he covered his mouth, trying to not let the moans slip and the neighboring guests of the hotel hear him. below in the water, jiwoong had positioned himself quite nicely, hands on matthew's hips, ready to thrust into the younger.

"ah! ah! h-hyung! hngg," matthew gripped onto the older's biceps, feeling the all so familiar stretch that his body was used to jiwoong's cock by now. jiwoong had molded him so perfectly and his body was like a perfect toy that matched jiwoong's ever so big alpha dick. maybe jiwoong did underestimate how bad his ruts were, because they ended up doing it in the bath tub for two more rounds, dirtying the colorful water and filling the air with jiwoong's heavy dark brown sugar scent.

jiwoong always took good care of his sex partners. or that's what he tried to convince himself into believing. the boy in his arms had passed out after their bathtub session and jiwoong took matters into his hands to properly clean up the boy this time. he even put matthew into a bath robe, to which the boy seemed to like since he was mumbling nonsense to jiwoong who couldn't decipher it. he even woke up the younger to make sure he drank some water, even when the disobedience came out from the bratty boy who just wanted to rest.

he found out that matthew was quite cuddly, more like an orange tabby cat compared to gyuvin's golden retriever personality. though it was cute, he wasn't entirely used to this whole cuddling and affection thing. they weren't dating, so what was the point of doing so?

he saw the way the younger was sleeping all peacefully, leaning his head on the older's chest and curling up next to him. he had one arm across jiwoong's torso and the other one crushed on his body weight. jiwoong couldn't help but admit that the boy was really really cute.

it made him almost feel bad for leaving him in the middle of the night in this big hotel room.

"you what?" zhang hao shook his head in disbelief, hoping he heard that mistakenly from the older when he had met him after his violin practice session. it was more like he was showing off to hanbin and playing whatever the younger would recommend as the adorable omega would look at him in awe, mouth agape with stars in his eyes. he ran into the elder alpha who was with gyuvin at the nearby convenience store. thankfully, hanbin was busy picking out a selection of snacks that hao promised to buy him for being such a good omega.

"i don't do relationships," jiwoong mumbled, looking at the selection of drinks in front of him, "you guys know that. don't act like i did something wrong. matthew doesn't even . . ." jiwoong's words trailed off as he grabbed a can of chilsung cider from the fridge.

"matthew doesn't what?," hao raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms as he let out a exasperated sigh, "he's literally hanbin's best friend. you're supposed to take care of him, jiwoong."

"jiwoong's not wrong tho— ouch" hao jabbed the youngest alpha's ribs, making gyuvin groan in pain and hold his side, "or maybe not."

jiwoong sighed, walking to grab a pack of gummy bears off the shelf, "i saw seobin." the two alphas behind him stopped in their tracks as jiwoong turned around to talk in a lower voice, "i was waiting for matthew when he came onto me. someone smelled so strong it triggered my rut."

"matthew?" gyuvin asked, tapping his finger on his chin skeptically, "wait isn't he a beta?" he looked over to the chinese alpha who was seemed to have no comment on what he had asked, but was looking to see what jiwoong would say next.

"he's a beta," jiwoong replied, turning back around to walk to the cashier, "i'm sure of it. he smelled like nothing when i first met him at the party. betas don't smell like . . . . that." he dropped his things in front of the cashier who began to scan the products, to which gyuvin had snuck in his things as well, making the oldest glare at him. he paid for it anyways.

"and you left him there?" hao's voice made jiwoong tense as he gathered the things he bought into his arms, "in the hotel room?"

"it was for the best, okay?" jiwoong mumbled coldly, not liking how the other alpha was in his business, "he's just a fling anyways. i doubt he has feelings for me—"

"hao hyung!" the voice made all three alphas freeze, looking at the omega who was running up to the auburn-haired alpha with a bunch of snacks and candy in his arms. hao's frustration instantly disappeared as a smile grew on his lips, walking over to help the omega who looked like an abandoned puppy, "i thought you forgot about me."

"of course not," hao smiled at the boy lovingly before looking at the two alphas by the door with a glare, hinting that they would continue whatever they were talking about later, "let me help you."

jiwoong simply rolled his eyes, pushing the door open to leave with a frantic gyuvin who was trailing behind him. jiwoong did actually feel really bad for leaving matthew there. he knew they would never be on good terms again, but he knew it for the best. matthew deserved someone who would love him properly— not someone who was broken inside, like him. matthew was gorgeous, delicate yet had a perfectly buff body. his smile made jiwoong want to stay forever and sex with the boy was nothing but perfect. he just didn't want to hurt the boy. breaking ties would be the best choice to end whatever they had. matthew was free now.

"hyung," gyuvin interrupted the older's thoughts, rubbing the back of his nape as they walked to their parked motorcycles they had left behind outside the store, "are you getting back with seobin?"

jiwoong shot a glare at the younger, who clearly got an answer by the look of that, "you and hao are never gonna get off my dick about matthew, are you?"

"he's sweet, though," gyuvin mumbled, stuffing his snacks into his backpack before putting it on. he grabbed his helmet, his meter long leg stepping over the bike before he sat down to put on his helmet. he looked at the older, lifting up the visor to look at the alpha's annoyed expression, "maybe he's different from seobin . . . and your other flings? the poor boy has a crush on you for fucks sake."

jiwoong's eyes widened after hearing what gyuvin had said, "he has a crush on me? you're fucking joking, kimgyu." the older shook his head in disbelief, a small laugh coming out from his throat as he started his own motorcycle. he couldn't believe matthew would have a crush on him. if he did, then why would he agree to be friends with benefits? did he know that jiwoong didn't do strings attached relationships?

"can't you see it?" gyuvin shook his head, putting on his hands onto the handles before kicking the foot peg up to back up, "i'm serious, hyung. why else would i help him and introduce him to you at the party?" he looked at the alpha who's scent seemed to have gotten lighter, and gyuvin could tell the alpha was confused, but less aggravated than earlier.

hao and hanbin had come out from the store, making both alphas look at them. gyuvin looked at the eldest one last time before pushing down his visor and pushing off on one leg, "i'll see you and hao hyung later. bye hanbinnie hyung. i'm going to pick up ricky"

the three watched as gyuvin rode off, the sound of the engine blared as he got onto the road. hao looked at jiwoong who seemed to be lost in his thoughts, staring off at the cars in the road that were passing by them. the boy only let out a sigh, before turning back to his omega who seemed to know that something was going on due to all the tension. his toasted vanilla scent soured as he watched hao grab his helmet and put it over his head, "it's nothing too big. i'll tell you later okay?"

hanbin could only nod, glancing at the alpha who was getting to leave as well. truth be told, he didn't exactly trust the alpha with matthew. and boy was he right to not trust the alpha. seeing his best friend all broken down and covered in tears in front of his door was a matter to be taken seriously. hao had dropped him off at matthew's place before leaving and hanbin could already smell the faint scent of a distressed omega when he reached the front of matthew's door.

"matthew!," hanbin frantically dropped his things before rushing to where his nose was taking him, which was matthew's bedroom. his heart dropped to his chest when he saw the omega all curled up under his big blanket, tissues and other articles of clothing scattered around the room.

he heard the soft cries of the younger omega get louder as he walked over to the boy and sat down on his bed, peeling the blanket off the omega who's body was warm to the touch, "matthew you're overheating. whats wrong, chu? tell hyung, yeah?"

the canadian looked at the other with tears in his eyes, red and puffy, "h-hyung . . . hic . . ." the younger let another wave of tears take over him.

"shit, fuck. was it jiwoong?" hanbin mumbled, holding the boy closer to him as he felt the boy's tears wet his hoodie, "matthew talk to me."

matthew didn't want to talk. he didn't want to admit that he was heartbroken to wake up and see that the alpha wasn't there anymore. his actions said otherwise and it only made the other omega jump to conclusions on the fact that jiwoong had treated him wrong and hurt him. jiwoong didn't hurt him physically. he never felt this way before.

he had woken up in the big, glamorous hotel room that jiwoong had booked. the scent of the alpha was still lingering all over the sheets, but the older nowhere to be seen. he was clothed and even though his body ached, all he remembered was passing out after the older finished inside him again.

thats when he felt tears come out of his eyes. jiwoong leaving meant that jiwoong didn't want him. no matter how many times he tried to convince himself and his inner omega that jiwoong was only looking for a friends with benefits relationship, he continued to sob. his heart was broken, and he felt rejected. he'd never felt this way the other times jiwoong had left him in his bed after a good fuck.

he didn't even want to leave the hotel room because of how it smelled like the alpha. the scent lingered everywhere, even on his clothes that he managed to put on. he only managed to get home but digging his nose into the fabric of his hoodie, calming his omega and making him convinced that the alpha was still there and wanted him.

after eating the gummies that hanbin had bought and drinking water that the older omega urged him to drink, matthew calmed down, only sniffling every so often.

"feel better?" hanbin asked softly, coaxing the omega who was cuddling up to his side. hanbin had also calmed down, his vanilla scent making matthew calm as well. the older omega almost wanted to find jiwoong and rip his hair out, even thought matthew hadn't said anything. clearly the alpha was the problem.

matthew nodded, picking another sour gummy bear from the plastic bag and putting it into his mouth, "thanks, hyung." he still refused to take off his hoodie which reeked of the brown sugar scent, but hanbin didn't seem to say anything about it.

matthew heard a knock on his door, ears perking up as he whipped his head. despite the many scents, he could smell a faint strawberry scent, which could only mean it was ricky. he had forgotten hanbin had called him over after finding him in that state. the older had gotten up to open the door, making matthew whine softly. the warmth and comfort he craved always seemed to slip away from him.

"is matthew, okay?" ricky asked worryingly, looking past the older omega who just opened the door.

hanbin nodded, "he's feeling better than when i found him," the omega then glanced at the tall figure who appeared next to ricky, "oh, gyuvin?"

"hey"

"he wanted to come in," ricky mumbled, glancing at the alpha who seemed to have a slight blush on his face. he watched as hanbin looked at him skeptically, only for the alpha to stand there with a blank face, "he was worried too."

hanbin nodded, stepping aside to let the pair in before closing the door. ricky was quick to rush into matthew's bedroom after dropping his things. gyuvin was quick to trail after him, following him as if he were a dog following his owner. the blonde had opened the door of his room softly, running over to hug the boy who was giggling and smiling.

gyuvin had stopped in his tracks, a scent filling his nostrils that he hasn't smelled ever before. it was the scent of an omega, sweet and attractive. the pheromones filled the room, and it was no doubt it belonged to someone who had lived here before. even with hanbin's familiar vanilla scent, and ricky's own strawberry scent on him, his nose could still pick it up.

"matthew's an omega?"
