Ugh. Classes are dragging on today. The last semester is next week and midterms are coming up. I haven’t studied that much. Maybe Yohan will agree to a study session. He has the top grades in our class, followed by Taesung.

I giggle to myself.

Taesung. A perfect specimen of an Alpha. We haven’t seen much of each other this semester because we have different classes and he is busy with the Finance Department and Student Council. But when we do hang out things are not as awkward as they were before.

For a few weeks we were hanging out with Yohan. Until he decided that it was time for him to stop being a third wheel. Tomorrow we agreed to lunch. It’s going to be the first time hanging out just the two of us. Do I dress up or do I dress casually?

Ding. It's Taesung.

-Jeyhun, I can’t wait to see you tomorrow afternoon. Dress nicely. ;)

I send a quick message saying, 'Sure'   

Nicely? What does he mean by dress nicely? I dress casually but style it up. So, I wore some jeans, tucked in graphic tee, with an oversized cardigan. Yeah, I am looking oh so fine! Hurry up lunch time. For once I don’t have to each this nasty school café food.

DING, DONG, DING

 Yes! Class is finally over and it’s time for our date. I wonder if Taesung is finished with classes. He said to wait for him by the Art Department. Just when I thought, today was going to be a good date, I turn the corner and I see that perfect omega from a month ago. She makes every stop talking when she walks past. It’s almost like she’s the queen of omegas. She rich, pretty, popular, perfect body and her scent definitely that of high-class omega. Her black hair and ice blue eyes make her almost too perfect. The only issue is that her attitude stinks.

 But why is she all over Taesung like that? Is she flirting with him? He doesn’t look like he hates being touched by her. Damn, I can’t compare to an Omega like her. I have plenty of self-esteem. My confidence is very high, but not high enough to that I think Taesung wouldn’t choose an omega like her over me. Sigh. I guess I should just go home. This date was going to be my chance to win Taesung over. Going home is not a good idea. Taesung knows where I love and going to Yohans house wouldn’t be a good idea either.

 Ah. That’s right! I will call Yoo Eun-Ae. She said if I needed to crash at her place I could. She is an Alpha. Luckily for me she is interested in Female Omegas. I know that I can trust Eun-Ae with giving me sound advice. If I am being overly dramatic, she will let me know. Must be an alpha thing.  We were high school friends but she goes to a different University than I do. Luckily, she still lives in the area.

 “Hello?”

 “Eun-Ae, can I crash at your place please?” I try to hold back my tears.

 “OMG, Jeyhun, are you crying? Where are you? I’m coming right now.”

 She never fails to know when I am emotionally distressed. “I am outside your apartment.” I didn't think to even call before I came to her house but I know she will never turn me a way. I wouldn't turn her away either.

“I’ll buzz you in. Come on up.” 'Bzzzz'

 When I got upstairs, she already has an Iced Chai Tea ready for me. My favorite drink when I am feeling distressed.

 “Eun-Ae. There is an alpha I like.” I sigh babysitting my chai.

 “Huh?! Really?!” She walked over and sat across from me. "So, tell me what's going on?"

 “We had a date today but…" I fight to hold back my tears. That stupid pretty Omega…

 “Oh gosh, Jeyhun, don’t cry. You must really like this alpha. Just explain it to me.”

 I explain the situation to Eun-Ae. After I finished explaining, she just stared at me. Eun-Ae isn’t the type to be speechless, so I am kind of concerned about what might happen next. I watched her inhale and exhale then she just laughed. Something is telling me that I am about to get a mouthful.

 “JEYHUN, ARE YOU A DAMN IDIOT!!! Why would you run off? You should have walked towards them. Grrrr." She slides her hand down her face. "You used to be so confident, what the hell dude.”

 “I know but you didn’t see this Omega, Eun -Ae.”

 “Well based on the description you gave me; it sounds like you’re talking about Gim Jae-Hwa.

 I just look at her. “Who?” Jae-hwa? The name sound familiar but I can but a face to the name.

 “You know who I’m talking about. She was that nerdy beta from High School.”

 “NO WAY!!" I jump out my chair. "She's an OMEGA! Becoming an omega has clearly changed her. Now I feel even worse. Ahhh!”

 Damn it. If a Beta can become this perfect of an Omega, then how will I ever compete. Giving up isn’t an option but I don’t know what to do. I know that when I get back to school Monday, he will be looking for me. Wanting to know what happened. What will I say to him? I saw that beautiful Omega on you so I got jealous and ran away. It’s the truth but I couldn’t say that aloud. Truth is since we had sex during my heat cycle, I have no way of knowing whether or not if he likes me or the Omega, he had sex with. But I guess I never got a chance to ask after running off. Just what is going on with me?

 “Jeyhun!”

 “Sigh.” I am feeling so insecure right now. I am not even sure what I can do at this point.

 “Jeyhun, what’s wrong? what were you thinking about?” Eun-Ae placed her hand on my shoulder and pulled me into a hug.

 “Eun-Ae. I’m scared. I really like Taesung. What do I do?”

 She pushed me back and shook me. “Wait? Did you say Taesung? Do you mean Han Taesung!”

 “Yeah. Why?”

 “Well, I can see why you would be nervous about an Omega like Jae-Hwa. They both come from High Society Families. So, naturally you would think their families would marry them produce proper heirs. But it's not like that between them, actually, I'll have Taesung tell you himself. Also, Taesung doesn’t care about that, from what I hear. Which is why he’s at this University as appose to some other Prestigious School.”

 Eun-Ae always gives me solid advice. If Taesung isn’t interested in a high-class Omega like Jae-Hwa then maybe I can apologize and maybe we can go on another date. Or maybe I can text him. We can meet up, it’s still early.

My phone is ringing. I wonder if its Yohan? I look down at my phone. “It's Taesung!”

 “Answer it Jeyhun, don’t just stare at it. Answer it.”

 I’m scared what if he’s upset with me. I wouldn’t know what to say. Even worse what if he gets mad and says he doesn’t want to see me again.

 “H-hello.”

 “Jeyhun! Where are you? Are you okay? Someone said they saw your running off crying. Is everything okay?”

 “Yeah. I uh," I can't hold back my tears. I can barely talk.

 “Jeyhun?”

 “I’m not okay, Taesung, I'm sorry.”

 “Please tell me what’s wrong? Hmm. Please.”

 "I.."  I don't know what to say and all I keep is sniffling. Eun-Ae is looking at me signaling to tell him what I feel. But what if he doesn't like me after being jealous.

 “Please Jeyhun. Do you not like me anymore?”

 “No! It’s not that. I don’t dislike you. When I came to meet you after my class. I saw that Omega, Jae-Hwa on your arm and I got jealous and I ran away. I didn’t even bother to ask you anything. My feelings took over and I don’t know what to do.” I fall forward on the counter and start to cry again.

“Where are you, can we meet up so we can talk about it please?”

 “Sure. I am at my friend’s house.” I look at her. "Can I give him your address. She laughs at me."

 “Hey, Taesung!”

 “Huh. Was that Eun-Ae? I'm on my way.”

 “Wait! How do you know…"

 'Click'

 He knows Eun-Ae. I wonder how they know each other. She is quite the popular female alpha. In High School she had such a feminine face and body but she was so masculine. She played basketball, volleyball and soccer. She was definitely quite the jock. Now that I think about it, she transferred out Senior year because her dad became the CEO of a major corporation. Maybe she met Taesung then.

 It’s time for our late but promised date. Taesung wanted me to meet him at Riche-El. It’s a high-end restaurant that you need to makes reservations for months in advanced. How he got them in such late notice is beyond me. However, since I imagine that I won’t have to pay, I am not going to complain about it.

 “Order anything you’d like Jeyhun. It’s all on me.”

 “Okay.” I could feel him looking at me. I looked over the menu, winked and smiled.

 “So Jeyhun, I wanted to say this first. That Omega you seen me with earlier. Jae-Hwa, she is my cousin. She used to be Beta but for some reason when she met her Alpha, she became an Omega and she changed completely.”

 “Oh! Your cousin. Wait, your cousin!!!” His cousin. Wow I feel stupid.

 “Yep. She was begging to meet you. She said you went to the same High School. But I assume you didn’t recognize her because she changed." He chuckled and shook his head.

 “Yeah, I was surprised. Also, how do you know Eun-Ae?”

 “Hahahaha! She is quite something. She tried out for the boys’ soccer team, my first year of high school. I was captain at the time. She was good, so I let her on the team.”

 Of course, she did. She really was definitely an anything men can do, I can better kind of person. “I see. I feel so embarrassed after I ran off and didn’t let you explain,”

 “It’s okay. You being jealous just means you must like me a lot.” He just smiles.

 “I….”

 “Here are your orders, please enjoy the meal. Let me know if you need anything.” The waiter sat our plates down.

 “Thank you. I hope you like it Jeyhun.”

I don’t know what to do. Of course, I like Taesung. How could I not. He perfect. Do I admit to liking him or do I hide my feelings? Honestly, I am more scared that he doesn’t like me that much. We are having this dinner as friends, even though I called it a date. The way he looks at me is very sexy.

 Mmm. Why is he releasing his pheromones? They feel so relaxed and flirtatious. I am getting hot but I need to finished this meal before I have my next meal. If he wants to play pheromone tag then, I shall oblige.

 “Taesung, I really love your scent.” Oh no, I said it out lout. I don't think he notice. Let me release my scent just enough to grab his attention.

 “Is that so? Is that why you keep teasing me back with your scent.”

“Maybe.” I give him a flirty smile. I taste the soup. “Oh wow, this food is amazing” I have to change the subject. So that he stops releasing his pheromones. I would do him right in this restaurant and could care less if people saw us.

 “Jeyhun?” his voice is low and sultry.

 “Huh?”

 He looks at me with his eyes soft and admiring. “You are so beautiful.”

 “Thank you, Taesung. You're good looking as well.” I blush behind a napkin pretending to wipe my mouth.

 "Thank you, Jeyhun."

 Why does he keep looking at me with those eyes? They are drawing me in. I want to kiss him so bad. I don’t think I can control myself.

 “Waiter?” He signals.

 “Yes, Sir”

 “Can we get a private room please.” He held is card to the waiter.

 “Of course, sir.” He bows. Follow me this way. I will have another waiter bring you food behind us."

 The waiter takes us down a long hallway to another part of the restaurant and end up in what looks like a party room. Actually, no, it looks more like a suite.

 “Jeyhun, you don’t see yourself right now. You’re looking at me like a dessert." He grabs my hands, pulls me close and just looks into my eyes. “Kiss me, Jeyhun,”

 “Okay.”

 Fuck my body is getting so hot. We can't do this here. What is someone walks in. "Hmmm, Taesung please, wait.”

 “Okay. If you want me too. Do you want to finish your meal?”

 “Uh, I umm.” I just stand there hot and aching for him.

 He grabs my chin and pulls me towards him and kiss me deeply. “I like you. Jeyhun”

 “Huh?” I think I misheard him.

 “I like you. I like you a lot Jeyhun."

 Wait, no. I heard him correctly. Taesung just said that he likes me. Please don't be dreaming? I am so shocked that I don’t know what to say all I can do is look at him. Holding back my tears is getting to be hard. I might finally have my own Alpha.

“Jeyhun, do you like me, too? Please say you do?"
