"matthew."

the boy's body was being shaken, stirring the omega from his sleep. he left out a soft groan, yanking the hand off of his arm as he turned to the other side. he was feeling drained and tired, his body aching from— from what? his eyes shot open as he sat up, the pain that he was feeling in his ass making him wince as he looked at hanbin who was smiling softly at him.

"hanbin hyung," matthew croaked out, his throat feeling dry. hanbin was aware of that and quickly opened the water bottle that was on his bedside table and handed it to him. the younger omega was quick to chug it down, finishing almost half the bottle before closing it, "what're you doing here?"

hanbin raised an eyebrow in confusion, "don't— don't you remember what happened to you?"

"what happened?," matthew mumbled, looking down and trying to assess what had happened. there were bite marks everywhere all over his skin. he felt pain in his ass, but somehow his body appeared to be wiped down clean. he had a pair of basketball shorts on yet, he was shirtless. surely he had hooked up with jiwoong again, "wait," matthew gasped, looking at hanbin, "j-jiwoon hyung was here?"

"he was with you for three whole days," hanbin chuckled, looking at the boy whose jaw had dropped, "for your heat."

matthew stared blankly at the other, unable to utter a single word out because of how shocked he was. the memories were starting to flood in, the amount of times they had fucked just to get matthew content was unable to be counted. matthew flushed when he recalled the faint memory of begging the alpha, pleading and crying for him to come over the phone.

"h-he came?," matthew smiled to himself, unable to keep it to himself that the alpha had actually cared enough to come and help him, "he helped me with my heat, hanbin."

hanbin's eyebrows furrowed, seeing his friend acting so joyful at the fact that the alpha that had broken his heart had came back to him. he grabbed matthew's hands, letting out a sigh, "we heard you from the living room and jiwoong came over because we asked him to help you," the canadian watched as the older rubbed circles onto the palm of his hand, "he left after he sensed your heat was finished."

matthew's smile fell off of his face. he was glad that jiwoong had helped him with something so painful, yet he couldn't be happy at the fact that jiwoong had left him again. nothing had changed between them. nothing could be changed, yet he wondered why jiwoong came? maybe jiwoong did feel something for him.

he pondered on it even after a few days since his heat had finished. he returned to campus, praying that no one remembered him as the omega that had gotten into heat all of a sudden. he couldn't control how his body had suddenly decided to go into heat. he took extra precautions now, slapping on a scent patch in order to hide his scent to the best of his ability even though his clothes smelled like creme brûlée.

"i'm glad you're back, hyung," gunwook smiled happily as he watched the older sit down beside him in their usual shared math class, "i was worried about you."

matthew felt his cheeks flush red, turning shy at the fact that the alpha was so caring towards him. of course he couldn't forget the fact that he had kissed gunwook. his inner omega was something else. it was strange to have pretended as if nothing happened between the two. maybe it was because gunwook was so comfortable to be around that he didn't mind being close with him.

"thanks, wook-ah," matthew grinned, raising a hand up to ruffle the boy's hair. that had left gunwook speechless as he touched the spot that matthew had ruffled, "i'm sorry for everything that had happened that day. you were probably so scared and worried."

gunwook shook his head, resting his head on the palm of his hand as he looked at the older endearingly, "i wanted to protect you, but i couldn't. i wanted to be a good alpha for you, hyung."

"you did more than enough, wook-ie," matthew frowned when he saw the boy's saddened expression, "you were there for me and you didn't take advantage of me like some assholes would," he giggled when he saw gunwook's smile, "you're really the best."

that was right. he didn't really need jiwoong. he had gunwook and all of his friends as well. but why was he still feeling this way; sad, defeated, and disappointed? he couldn't even get to properly explain to jiwoong how he was an omega. he was sure the alpha was furious when he found out he had been fucking one. the thought of it made him shiver. but what confused him even more was the fact that jiwoong had helped him. he could've just let matthew all by himself and matthew was sure he could suffice.

had jiwoong started to like him?

matthew shook his head, clearing his thoughts as he walked down the empty hall. it was already late at night when he had finished studying and doing his work, and he was ready to go home and get some shut eye when he heard and smelled something familiar. jiwoong?

he stopped in his tracks before turning the corner to leave the building, only poking his head out to see if he was right. and of course his nose never failed him. he was practically with the alpha for two whole days straight while being subconscious to whatever he and jiwoong did. his heat made him behave differently, and it was as if he was drunk, was what he realized.

jiwoong's back was to matthew, his hands in his pockets, and the other scent smelled familiar to matthew as well. he caught a glance, conforming his suspicion that it was the omega he had seen before. what was his name? seobin? there was something off about the alpha. why was jiwoong even talking with seobin?

"jiwoong-ah, did you drink?," seobin asked, looking at the tipsy alpha in front of him who seemed so out of it. the boy chuckled, bringing a hand up to tuck a strand of jiwoong's hair behind his ear, "what're you doing on campus?"

jiwoong swatted the boy's hand away, "why are you here? fuck off," jiwoong had only had a couple beers at the party that was on campus, but he decided to leave because he wasn't feeling like hooking up with anyone new. besides, he needed to be somewhat sober enough to ride his bike home.

"you're the one who came to me," seobin shrugged. the boy had caught a glance of matthew who was peaking out at the corner, making seobin smirk when he went back to hiding. he remembered that it was jiwoong's fling. this would be fun, "don't you want something?," he took a step forward and twirled his fingers around the drawstrings of jiwoong's hoodie, "do you perhaps, miss me?"

he glanced at the omega who hadn't peaked out from the corner yet, but he could still faintly smell him. he was sure that the boy was still listening, probably feeling upset in some way. it was only normal for jiwoong's fuck buddies to grow feelings and get attached to him.

"whatever," jiwoong grumbled, putting his hand around the shorter's wrist and putting it down softly, "don't talk to me," he was starting to walk away, vision getting slightly blurry as seobin helped hold him up by the arm. maybe he had drank more than he could hold. why was the world spinning all of a sudden?

"jiwoong!," seobin exclaimed, hugging jiwoong's arm to help stabilize him, "you're too drunk. let me take you home."

"i said fuck off," jiwoong shook his head, yanking his arm out of seobin's hold, only to be pinned against the wall by the omega. the shorter gripped the collar of the alpha's shirt, pulling him down, "what're you—"

all of a sudden, the omega's lips were on his. the boy was kissing him harshly, smirking during the kiss when he felt jiwoong start to kiss back just as harshly. it was so easy to play with jiwoong when he was drunk. it was as if jiwoong didn't care at all, just like he always did.

"you're so easy," seobin chuckled, pulling back from the kiss, only for jiwoong to switch their positions around and capture seobin's lips in his own again. it was so jiwoong of him to be the dominant one, even though seobin was known to be a power bottom despite being an omega.

something clicked inside jiwoong.

something clicked inside him as he pushed the omega away, wiping his lips with the back of his hand as if he wasn't the one that was starting to kiss back. this wasn't matthew. matthew? why was he suddenly thinking of the younger. it just didn't feel right. the scent of the omega in front of him made him sick. he quickly walked away, trying not to stumble and trip over his own feet as he headed out the building. he stopped in his tracks when he caught a faint whiff of something. was he just going crazy?

he turned his head, whipping it around to see that the owner of the scent had just walked past him. he was quick enough to grab the omega's hand, turning him around only to be caught by surprise when he saw tears brimming the shorter's eyes, "matthew—"

"let go of me," matthew mumbled, yanking his hand out of jiwoong's grip. his heart ached, yet for some reason he couldn't reject the fact that the touch made his whole body feel warm. even so, he walked away, leaving the alpha dumbfounded. jiwoong let go of him again.

had matthew seen it all?

"fuck."

"ricky, i need to go drinking with you," matthew threw his bag onto the sofa the moment he got into ricky's apartment. he hardly frequented here, but he didn't feel like going back to his apartment, so he took the train all the way to ricky's place. it's been two days since he saw what happened with jiwoong and seobin and it had made him a mess. he was trying to find excuses to not go home. his room still smelled like jiwoong and he was sure he was digging his nose everywhere to find the lingering scent.

ricky, who was busy finishing up the dishes that he and gyuvin had used, turned around to look at the omega, "are you okay? you're definitely not matthew."

"i am matthew," the omega groaned, sitting down by the kitchen table as he put his face into his hands. gyuvin had been sitting there too, waiting for ricky to finish the dishes. the alpha looked at ricky who shrugged.

"was the dildo i gave you not big enough?"

"r-ricky!," matthew's cheeks flushed red as he looked up from his hands, only to see the alpha that was sitting across from him have a shocked expression on his face as well, "it— it was big enough . . . but that's not the problem!"

gyuvin snorted, rolling his eyes, "clearly the problem is ricky is using sex toys when he has me?," the alpha frowned, his usual dark chocolate scent filling the room and telling both omegas that his ego had broken from hearing that. ricky rolled his eyes, wiping his hands dry on the towel before walking over to gyuvin.

"well you weren't here before," ricky sassed back, letting gyuvin put an arm around his waist and pull him down onto his lap, "they're not even as big as you," ricky mumbled, feeling a tiny bit of heat rush to his cheeks after he had said that. meanwhile, the alpha was left speechless, his scent turning less bitter than it had been.

"you guys are not discussing your sex life in front of me right now," matthew grumbled, digging his face into his palms, "the problem is i want to go out and drink and let loose."

ricky raised an eyebrow, lacing his fingers with gyuvin's that were around his waist, "you're definitely not matthew. the seok matthew i know doesn't like going to parties and drinking."

"something probably happened with jiwoong," gyuvin muttered behind ricky, digging his head into ricky's shoulder and nuzzling his nose into the boy's scent gland. thankfully, the alpha said it only loud enough for the blonde to hear.

ricky was aware of what had happened between his friend and jiwoong. he saw the omega so happy when hearing that jiwoong was there to help him with his heat, however the omega in front of him right now was saying otherwise. he let out a soft sigh, knowing that the omega probably just wanted to drown his feelings in alcohol and have fun for the night.

"let's go."

matthew lifted his head up from his hands, smiling, "really?"

"yes, really," ricky chuckled, seeing how happy the other omega became, "you need to get dicked down again and find a better alpha for you."

"ricky," gyuvin looked at his omega, shaking his head. the taller only knew it would be a bad idea if hanbin had found out about all of this. and it would be ten times worse if jiwoong found out. how did gyuvin know? he just a had small feeling. ricky looked at the alpha with a pout, putting on the cutest and most submissive expression he could (whatever that means), which he knew would make the alpha oblige to him, "f-fine. we'll go there to watch him."

ricky stood up with his arms in the air in success, walking over to matthew and dragging him up from his seat, "lets go find you a sexy outfit."

gyuvin shook his head, smiling as he watched his boyfriend drag his friend away. how could he not have given in to his pretty omega when he was looking at him like that? he looked down at the tent that was forming in his pants, rubbing his fringe in embarrassment. such a thing like that made the alpha turned on already. he shook his head, clearing his thoughts as he picked up his phone, going into the chat that he shared with jiwoong and hao.

gyubbb
me and ricky are taking matthew to the bar near campus

hao-bao
why's matthew going? did you and ricky drag him?

gyubbb
he came to ricky's place on his own saying he wanted to drink

gyuvin quickly looked up from his phone when he heard footsteps coming closer to him. ricky was now in his classic all black outfit, his dress shirt having several buttons undone already and exposing his chest, while his black slacks hugged his legs perfectly. meanwhile, matthew trailed behind him shyly, wearing a skirt? what? a skirt, with fishnet stockings, a crop top that was big on him because it originally belonged to ricky's, and a leather jacket?

"stop staring at him," ricky rolled his eyes, leaning down to flick his boyfriend's forehead while giving the alpha a good view of his expose chest, "you're going to make me jealous," he put a hand under gyuvin's chin to close his mouth.

gyuvin shook his head, cheeks flushing red as he quickly got up. he would have never imagined matthew to be in a skirt. it was one of ricky's old, short skirts that he grew out of when gyuvin had asked about it when he saw it in the closet. if matthew looked this good, he wondered how ricky would look in it. he smirked, snaking his arms around his boyfriend's waist, "wheres your skirt, pretty?"

"qubing," ricky rolled his eyes, shooing the boy's face away from his, "do you want to get into a fight like you did last time we went to the bar? you nearly sent him to the plastic surgeon since you kept punching him after he groped my ass!"

"exactly," gyuvin shrugged, letting go of his embrace around the omega, rubbing the back of his nape, "because he touched you. you'd still look hot with a skirt on."

ricky glared at the alpha, crossing his arms in front of his chest, "are you saying i don't look hot right now?," gyuvin gulped when ricky stepped forward, making him take a step back as his butt reached the edge of the table. ricky's hand fiddled with the drawstrings of gyuvin's hoodie, twirling around his finger with a smirk, "answer, alpha."

"of course you look hot," gyuvin muttered, cheeks flushing as ricky was asserting his dominance. the omega really knew how to turn him on. he was practically melting in ricky's hands. consider him melted dark chocolate at this point. he couldn't help but wrap his hands around ricky's waist and pull him into a heated kiss, surprising the omega who let out a squeal but kissed back either way. ricky was first to pull away, wiping his lips with the back of his hand with flushed cheeks.

he stepped away from gyuvin, turning back to matthew who was still gripping the hem of his skirt, "do you feel okay? you look pretty, chu. so fucking hot," he smiled softly at the omega as he fixed the boy's hair, "we can change you into something else if—"

"no," matthew shook his head, looking away shyly. he wanted to commit to what he wanted. he wanted to have fun tonight and he was sure to attract a bunch of alphas attention with this. surely there would be alphas that could treat him right tonight, right?, "i'll wear it."

"let's get going then," ricky said, grabbing matthew's hand  before turning back at the alpha who was still leaning against the edge of the table, "qubing get my car ready."

gyuvin was quick to obey, passing the two omegas who were putting on their shoes before grabbing ricky's car keys and heading downstairs. he whipped out his phone to see the text messages from the group chat before he had seen the two omegas all dressed up.

gyubbb
oh fuck ricky dressed matthew up so hot
jiwoong hyung is missing out so bad

hao-bao
are you cheating on ricky?
me and hanbin are heading to the bar now

gyubbb
fuck no, ricky is so hot
but, he did so good dressing up matthew
he's definitely going to get dicked down by the end of tonight

hao-bao
too bad jiwoong is missing out.

gyuvin let out a soft chuckle as he made it through the parking garage and found ricky's car. him and hao were teasing the shit out of jiwoong and he knew the older alpha was reading the messages. jiwoong and hao had made up ever since matthew's heat since the alpha became so willing and awfully caring towards the omega. however, their trust in jiwoong being around matthew was still low since hanbin and ricky were so protective. they both knew jiwoong was acting up because he finally grew feelings for someone again. jiwoong was just bad at admitting it and expressing it properly. but he shouldn't have taken his anger out on them.

he drove ricky and matthew to the bar, dropping them off at the front before pulling the car around to park in the back. he felt a smirk creep up on his face as he parked right next to the two bikes that were parked side by side. one belonged to hao and the other belonged to jiwoong. he brought it to himself to find the alpha in the bar, and it didn't take the younger long at all to find jiwoong sitting all alone, the glass cup he was holding was resting in front of his lips.

"hyung," gyuvin chuckled, wrapping an arm around the older, "what're you doing here? you said you wouldn't come?," even through the loud music and the dim party lights that were on, gyuvin could see how jiwoong was tense, eyes locked on something. gyuvin's eyes followed his as he took a seat next to jiwoong, ordering a cocktail, before realizing what jiwoong had been focused on so intently.

"who did you say dressed up matthew again?," jiwoong finally lowered his cup down, swirling his drink inside before taking a sip. gyuvin felt himself tense, rubbing the back of his neck.

"ricky."

"i'm going to kill him," jiwoong mumbled, hoping that gyuvin couldn't hear what he said past the music. he felt aggravated. aggravated at the fact that matthew was acting this way. why? he had no idea. why was the omega giggling with an alpha that was too close for comfort for him? an alpha that he literally just met half an hour ago.

had him helping the omega with his heat mean nothing to him?

gyuvin thanked the bartender for serving him up the drink, quickly taking a sip in order to hide the smirk that had been lingering on his face. he placed a hand on jiwoong's shoulder, "don't kill my ricky or else i'll make sure you'll never see matthew this hot ever again."

jiwoong rolled his eyes, swatting the boy's hand off of his shoulder, "i don't care."

"you do care," gyuvin shrugged, resting his chin on the palm of his hand as he spun around on the bar stool, "i've never seen you go to a bar and not be hitting up on a single person, hyung."

"not interested," jiwoong grumbled, feeling himself grip his glass of wine harder when he saw the alpha whisper something in matthew's ear to make the boy flush. gyuvin raised an eyebrow, looking over to the omega that was sitting not too far across from them.

"then why are you here? aren't you supposed to be at—"

"gyuvin," jiwoong stopped the younger alpha mid sentence to look at him, "do you know that alpha over there? what's he like?"

"oh?," gyuvin grinned mischievously, watching as a faint blush appeared on jiwoong's cheeks, "why so interested all of a sudden?," jiwoong playfully shoved the younger alpha, making him laugh, "i'm kidding, hyung! he's—"

just as gyuvin was about to tell the older what he knew about the alpha, he felt a tap on his shoulder, making him turn around. it was the girl that he saw at the cafe that one time when jiwoong was there.

"i knew it was you!," the girl giggled at that way gyuvin looked like an adorable lost puppy, "i didn't expect to see you here and drinking."

"oh," gyuvin rubbed the back of his nape, glancing at jiwoong for help to which the alpha just chuckled, "you were at the cafe last time, right? it's . . . uh . . . nice to see you here."

the girl was awfully close to him, her cherry scent filling the air and gyuvin wouldn't say it was a bad thing, but ricky's still smelled better. she was wearing a short and revealing black dress and gyuvin gulped, trying to not let his eyes wander anywhere that could get him killed. killed by ricky.

"let's go dance!," before gyuvin could even utter out a reply, she had already dragged gyuvin up and out of his seat into the dance floor of people. gyuvin looked back at the older alpha who had simply waved at him while he was trying to tell the alpha to help him. jiwoong stuck out his tongue. that should serve gyuvin right for teasing him about matthew the whole night.

he turned back around, looking back at the spot where the omega should've been but he wasn't. he started to panic, looking around as he finished up the rest of his drink. why was he suddenly so intrigued about the omega? he'd let the younger go, staying true to his oath, but he was still meddling in the younger's life when he wasn't supposed to.

it was just the way matthew looked at him with teary eyes that day when he had walked past him. he just looked so hurt, and jiwoong hadn't stopped thinking about the omega ever since. so what if he had kissed seobin by accident and out of spite? why did that matter to matthew so much?

there was no way it was because he liked him.

while jiwoong was busy walking around and looking for the omega, the said omega was probably having one of the best nights yet. him and ricky had arrived at the bar and gotten drinks, meeting up with hao and hanbin who were there already. they'd left when matthew got hit on by an alpha.

matthew's been talking to that guy for most of his night so far, learning that the boy also went to the same university as them. he was handsome, immediately catching matthew's eye and making his blush. the best part was that he was also canadian. they had several drinks, getting to know each other and matthew had already felt out of it.

"hey," the alpha smiled softly at him, holding him by the shoulder before he could fall off of his chair, "do you want to get some fresh air? you seem a little drunk, cutie."

matthew nodded his head, letting the alpha wrap his arm around his waist and help guide him somewhere. he leaned up against the alpha, inhaling the strong cedar wood scent. he was clearly an alpha, yet matthew's nose couldn't help but itch after being around that scent for so long. it was so overwhelming.

matthew didn't know how he ended up in the bathroom stall, trapped between the alpha and the wall of the stall. he gulped, feeling his vision blur as the alpha leaned down to place a kiss on his cheek. even though he'd taken a liking to the alpha, it didn't mean he was expecting to actually get fucked in the bar, yet alone in the bathroom.

"k-keeho," matthew whimpered as he felt the boy's hot breath on his neck, trailing down kisses and sucking against his skin. he was conflicted. he didn't know if he liked it or not. the alpha was clearly trying to make him feel good, but matthew's heart was pounding against his chest.

"you're so pretty," the alpha chuckled, sliding his hand down matthew's back and grazing over his skirt. matthew's breath hitched when he felt the man's hand grope his ass from under his skirt, "you wore such a provocative outfit. don't act all clueless and not expect an alpha to jump on you, omega."

matthew shook his head, cheeks flushing furiously. the alpha's lips had latched onto his, roughly kissing him and making the omega practically gasp for air when they had pulled apart. the alpha reached under his skirt, sliding his hand even under the safety shorts that matthew was wearing, to feel the omega's wetness.

"fuck, you're wet," the alpha groaned, making the omega shiver when he grazed his fingers past the wet patch that was already forming down there.

matthew suddenly regretted it all when he felt the alpha pull the zipper down from his skirt, letting the skirt fall down to his ankles. he let out a yelp when the older pulled down his safety shorts, revealing the panties that he was wearing. no one was meant to see that. matthew felt himself shaking when he was flipped around, his back facing the man's front as he stuck a finger inside.

"w-wait! stop— stop!," matthew panicked, trying to turn around and face the alpha, but the man had an arm pressing against matthew's shoulder blades, preventing him from doing so, "w-wait ah it feels weird! ah!"

"don't act so fucking clueless," the alpha growled, pumping two digits in and out of the omega's wet hole, "you want it just as much as i do. just look how fucking wet you are."

"n-no!," matthew tried to push the alpha away, only for his efforts to be in vain. he didn't want this. he just wanted to drink and truly have fun and talk to new people to get jiwoong off of his mind. but he couldn't help but admit that he had wanted to see jiwoong here tonight. instead, he was being held down by an alpha he met just an hour or two ago and was treating him like every other stupid alpha would. his physiological reaction to the alpha made him wet with slick and he hated it.

"let me breed you like a good alpha," the boy chuckled, biting and nipping the back of matthew's skin as he removed his fingers. matthew's legs almost gave out on him if it weren't for the alpha holding him up while taking off his belt and pulling down his pants and boxers.

"wait, no!," matthew shook his head vigorously when he felt the alpha rub his dick against his hole. he didn't want to be bred. especially not by someone who would probably be a one night stand. he let out a scream, almost begging for someone to hear him past the music and help him, but the alpha only stuck his fingers into his mouth. matthew bit down on them, making the alpha pull his hand away to look at the bleeding the omega had caused.

"you! you fucking bitch," the alpha growled, holding his hand to assess the bite mark matthew had made. matthew was shivering on the ground, half naked as he looked up at the alpha with teary eyes, "why don't you just be a good, obedient omega like everyone else? get up!"

matthew cowered, feeling his whole body shake at the intensity of the alpha's voice. had the alpha used his alpha voice on him? is this how he would've reacted if he wasn't on the pills he were taking? he shook his head, starting to sob in his hands as the alpha roughly picked him up and slammed him against the wall of the stall again.

"should've known you were a fucking brat. acting all pretty and obedient for what?," the alpha grumbled, gripping the omega's hips harshly that it would sure lead to bruising, "no wonder you don't have an alpha. who would want a whore and a brat like you—"

a loud bang was heard, making matthew jump and fall back down onto his knees. this scent. this burnt brown sugar scent. matthew could barely what was happening in front of him. the alpha who had been harassing him was being punched to the ground, making matthew flinch. jiwoong had saved him. jiwoong was here. jiwoong was beating the absolute shit out of the alpha.

"j-jiwoon!," matthew scurried to get up despite his weak state, tripping over his own feet but luckily the older alpha was quick to turn around and catch matthew in his arms, "you'll kill him if you keep punching him."

"he fucking touched you!," jiwoong replied angrily, eyebrows furrowed in confusion as to why the omega was still feeling pity over the stupid alpha he had knocked out cold. he assessed the state of the younger, feeling his blood boil when he saw matthew shaking, his skirt littered somewhere onto the floor along with the jacket he had came with, "fuck, matthew."

the omega wanted to cry and sob in jiwoong's arms. he wanted to thank the alpha for saving him, and for being there when he needed him. the other part of him wanted to run away and get away from the older's warm and comforting brown sugar scent. he was mad at jiwoong for just fucking him and dipping again. he was mad the alpha was here to save him. why can't the alpha just leave him alone?

"go away," matthew sniffled, wiping his tears with the back of his hand and pushing jiwoong away. he went back to get his skirt, slipping it on but fumbling with the zipper that it made him even more annoyed. jiwoong was watching, uncrossing the arms that were in front of his chest as he helped the omega. who designed these small zippers anyways? matthew shook his head, insisting that he would be able to do it himself.

"we'll never get you home at this rate."

matthew gave in, letting the older fumble with the zipper just as much as he did. maybe it was because of the dim bathroom light or maybe it was because of jiwoong's big hands that made the zipper so tiny. he couldn't help but let out a giggle, when he heard the alpha cursing to himself.

"who even designed this?," jiwoong grumbled when he had finally got the zipper halfway up, yet it got caught in the fabric and wouldn't go up, "why did you wear this, chu? did ricky really dress you up like this?," he looked up at the omega who was flushing red, nodding in response.

"he did."

jiwoong sighed, finally able to get the zipper up and brushing out matthew's skirt softly as he got back up to tower over the boy, "no wonder that alpha was all over you. don't wear this anymore."

matthew raised an eyebrow, watching as the older took off his jacket to wrap around his small frame, "you didn't need to help me."

"would you rather get raped then?," jiwoong scoffed, a confused expression plastered all over his face, "don't go around doing stupid shit."

"why do you even care about me?," matthew asked, biting the inside of his cheek bitterly as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. he was mad. he was feeling emotional. but, he didn't take off the jacket jiwoong had wrapped around him, "is it just because i'm hanbin's friend—"

"don't be ridiculous," jiwoong mumbled, looking at the door that he had knocked down earlier, "i don't have to do nice things just because my friends date your friends."

"then why do you keep coming back into my life?," matthew questioned, fiddling with the hem of his skirt, "you come back and you always leave. you don't even like me, jiwoon. why can't you just get out of my life?"

jiwoong froze. the omega was right. he didn't even like matthew. he didn't like the omega to be always meddling around in his business, but he always was. he was always thinking about him, wondering if he was okay, and now knowing that he was an omega, it made everything more sensitive to the older. his scent began to spike, filling matthew's nostrils with a smell of dark, brown sugar.

"i can't," jiwoong finally uttered out, making the omega look up with a faint blush on his face. the younger definitely didn't expect an answer like that from the older, and his stupid heart was beating against his chest like his crush had just confessed to him.

"you confuse me," matthew mumbled, pushing the alpha against the chest softly to start to walk away, only to feel his vision get blurry and making the whole bathroom turn sideways. as always, jiwoong was there to catch him in time, letting the boy lean against his body for support.

"let me take you home."

jiwoong froze when he heard the younger start to sob, hitting his chest softly. jiwoong smelled it. matthew's scent was a clear indication that the boy was in distress. had jiwoong made him uncomfortable? 

"you stupid alpha!," matthew cried out, angrily hitting the alpha's chest as he gripped onto the boy's shirt, "why are you always here? you— you left me first! and you made me so . . . hic . . so sad and then you come back again!," the boy sniffled, trying to control his overflowing tears that had left a wet patch against jiwoong's black shirt, "i don't like you! i hate you! i hate you, jiwoon hyung!"

the alpha's heart was being broken into pieces, yet the only thing he could do was at least try to comfort the omega. he didn't know matthew was feeling this way. he was just as confused as jiwoong was. yet, the omega seemed to have been so heartbroken at the stupid thing jiwoong did.

"why can't you let me have my fun?," the omega grumbled, continuing to sob in the older's chest, "i can't even get laid properly without thinking about you. i can't do anything without thinking about you! I wish you would just disappear— ah! jiwoon! let me down!"

jiwoong had carried the omega, who was throwing a tantrum, on his shoulder and started to walk out of the bathroom. he didn't forget to kick the unconscious alpha on the floor on last time before leaving. he had a hand over matthew's waist, stabilizing the boy who was hitting him so softly on the back.

"jiwoon! let go of me! you're going to drop—"

jiwoong had finally made it to his bike that was in the parking lot and put the boy down softly. he couldn't help but laugh at the cute angry expression matthew had on his face as he crossed his arms and leaned his butt against jiwoong's bike.

"not a single scratch," jiwoong whispered, putting his hands against the sides of his bike to trap the omega in, "you won't remember what will happen tomorrow."

"i'm sober," the omega who was definitely not sober said, looking down shyly at jiwoong's teasing gaze, "t-take me home, then!"

"do you really like me?"

matthew looked at the alpha through his blurry vision, biting his bottom lip. why had the alpha asked him such a stupid question? of course he liked him.

"n-no," matthew muttered, turning his head away. jiwoong's hand touched his jaw softly, turning his head back to look at the taller, making matthew swallow his saliva thickly.

"you're bad at lying," jiwoong snorted, smiling to himself as he saw matthew's cheeks redden, "you're also cute when you're drunk," he caressed the boy's cheek softly, watching as the omega basically melted into his touch and nuzzled his cheek against the alpha's hand, "it makes me scared for what will happen when you wake up and see me in your bed."

matthew didn't care what the alpha was mumbling about. he was just glad that the alpha he desired was here in front of him, giving him all the attention and devotion that he wanted. his drunk self wasn't in the right state to be arguing.

"did you really wear this outfit just out of spite?," jiwoong questioned, planting a soft kiss on the younger's head. why was he asking such stupid questions? he couldn't help but just tease the younger a little bit more, knowing that he would probably get his ass beat because he still can't figure out his feelings.

"don't i look hot?"

"you do," jiwoong quickly replied, kissing the smirk off of matthew's face and leaving the boy flustered. what he didn't expect was for the boy to grab him down by the collar of his shirt and kiss him softly.

maybe part of jiwoong did find the omega endearing. he's in love.
