Minwoo throws his pencil and tears of the note, crumpling it. He pushes the books aside, messing his own desk. 'What the hell is wrong with him? Tsk.'
Sitting down on the floor with his legs straight, he brings one knee up to rest his elbow. He rests head on the bed, and rubs his temple to relax himself. He needs to calm down or he may have another anger burst, something he has frequently after knowing about his attempted kidnap.
Bringing his forearm to rest on top of his closed eyes, the agitated alpha inhales deeply before letting his limbs fall to his sides. He knows he went too fast that day, but to his defense, that was the longest he had to wait for someone to finally give him attention.
To this day, he still cannot comprehend his obsession towards the man.
Why he is so captivated by those smooth skin and thick lower lip, and that deep voice. Why he couldn't forget the man after meeting him just once. Why he tried so hard to get his attention. Why he didn't mind not sleeping with the man when that is the only thing he ever wanted from another person all this while. Why he felt excited whenever he got close enough for their skin to touch even though he had touched so many people before.
And that static electricity he felt when their hands touched that day. That is a sign something is going on between them, right? The chemical reaction between their bodies caused by love hormones. Or whatever the reason.
It is definitely not one-sided.
Wonho seems to like him too, the man responded to his kisses, even tried to dominate it and yet, why the hell did he ran away after all that making out? What was with the man calling him an alpha bastard? What the hell did he ever do to Wonho? If anything, Minwoo is definitely far from being an alpha bastard. He is a noble for god sake. The best of the best.
'ARGHH! SEO WONHO WHAT THE FUCK?!' He screams as he messes his hair violently. This is really stressing him up. The skinny guy has been avoiding him since that day, and it has been more than a week. More than a week of him trying to find the man, trying to explain himself. Eleven days of the man running away from him and stopped coming to his usual hang out places.

Minwoo leans against the seat of the shuttle bus, sighing as he thinks about how he is going to confront Wonho today after class. This is getting ridiculous, both of them are adults, there is no need for a long fight when misunderstandings can be cleared by talking. Though, he has no idea how to 'talk'.
Entering the lecture hall, he looks around to see both Wonho and Chansol still not present, which is not surprising considering how Wonho had been trying to avoid sitting with him by coming in right before the lecture started. Taking the seat near the aisle on the row nearest to the doors, and right in the middle, he takes out his notes and starts to play with his phone while waiting.
If only they had exchanged numbers when they were still in good terms, Minwoo wouldn't have to try so hard to merely talk to Wonho.
The class starts and Minwoo avoids looking around too soon, not wanting his target to realize his intention. Right when the professor is in the middle of explaining something important, he swiftly turns around and spots Wonho, looking paler than usual, three rows from the back, at the row near the windows.
That is ideal, since he will be able to block Wonho from exiting the classroom without talking to him first. Satisfied with his plan, he returns his focus back to the lecture.
'Wonho, wait.' He calls when the said man tries to go pass him through the door. Blocking Wonho's path with his hand, he steps in and the latter inches back, wanting space. Luckily for him, the dazed Wonho dropped his notes and asked Chansol to leave before him.
So now there are only the two of them, minus their classmates who are disappearing from the room. 'You can't keep avoiding me.'
'I'm busy right now.' Wonho tries getting away, only to be blocked again. He steps backwards, returning to his spot.
'We should talk. You owe me an explanation.' Minwoo frowns when the other scoffed at his statement, as if he just said something stupid. Not letting that get to him, he continues, 'You slapped me.'
'You're an alpha.'
'How did you know?' Minwoo asks just because. He knows the only way Wonho would know is because Chansol told him. With no answer, he looks at the beta in front of him who is making his way slowly towards the door to exit. He shifts his position to disturb his attempt before continuing, 'So what if I'm an alpha?'
'I hate alphas.' Is the reply which doesn't answer his question.
'You slapped me because I'm an alpha…?' He rephrases that, making sure Wonho knows how stupid it sounded but to his disappointment, the man shows no emotion. As if that is a given. And that makes Minwoo angry.
'You knew I am an alpha yet you were laughing with me the whole time we were at the lake and now you're telling me you hate alphas? Why did you let me kiss you then, huh?' Minwoo scoffs at the man.
Hearing no reply, he eyes the other intensely, suddenly pissed with the lack of response. Wonho keeps looking away, he notices the nervousness from the other but refuses to give in. The absurd answer is not enough. 'Did you suddenly remember I am an alpha and decided to fucking slap me?'
'Yaah, Seo Wonho, answer me.' He is getting impatient with the man. Patience is never his strong point. The only reason why he could wait for Wonho all this time is because he thought he had a chance with the man, but it seemed that the reason is almost nonexistent right now, like his own composure. 'Cat got your tongue?'
Wonho scorns at the alpha, hating the way the man is speaking to him. He finally notices the whole class is gone, leaving them alone in the empty room. Feeling cornered, his heart starts to palpitate quickly, begging his body to escape but every time he tries to, Minwoo would move in front of him, making him retreat back in slight fear. Gaining his courage, he pushes through the man not caring if he is grabbed by the wrist.
'You're not running away again. Not today.' Minwoo holds Wonho's wrist as the man tries to escape him. They need to settle this here because this has been dragging for way too long. Wonho needs to tell him clearly what he wants because Minwoo refuses to accept 'hating alphas' as the reason for his rejection.
He did not waste half a year chasing the man only to be turned down cold for being someone he is born as. Not when he knows that the other has feelings for him too, if only a bit.
Wonho pulls his wrist forcefully and dashes away, leaving Minwoo calling his name in frustration. The alpha wants to run after the male, but he still has his stuff on the table; he left them there when he rushed towards the door to stop Wonho from leaving earlier. Grabbing his bag, he makes sure to switch off the lights before searching for the other.
After minutes of running around the department, Minwoo finally spots the man, sitting around a table with his friends, minus Chansol. He is actually relieved about it because who knows what he will do to the other alpha if he is there. On the other hand, Sangcheol and Junjie is, making it harder for him to talk without causing some commotion. But they need to settle this once and for all.
Because Minwoo needs to know.
Not caring anymore, he walks towards the group, stopping right beside Wonho's seat. All three of his friends look up at him, confused at the sudden appearance while Wonho keeps looking towards the others, completely ignoring him. Sangcheol, as expected, does not seemed pleased.
'Seo Wonho. We are not done.' He locks his sight with Wonho, not minding his friends' uncomfortable reactions. There is a long silence where the only sound is some murmurs from their surroundings, but none from where he wants it to come from. 'I said, we are not done.'
'What are you trying to do, Kim Minwoo?.' He is interrupted by the older alpha who eyes him threateningly. That was not a question, it was a warning not to use that authoritative tone with his pack members though it shouldn't matter since none of his betas will be affected. But Minwoo is not there looking for trouble, he just wants to talk so he calms himself down.
'I answered your question. We're done.'
'That wasn't an answer. That's an excuse.' He fires back, not satisfied. He can feel the eyes staring at him, especially the angry gaze of Junjie. Sangcheol already turned his body to face him, his left hand placed on the table, his right behind Wonho. Minwoo can sense the tensed atmosphere surrounding him.
'Well then maybe I did it because I'm a jerk.'
'Seo Wonho!'
'Kim, leave!' He is shoved backwards a few steps by the man's best friend who is now standing between them. Realizing how he just screamed Wonho's name, he looks back at the man.
Wonho is slightly hidden by Sangcheol who has his right arm straightened in front of him in a protective manner. To top it off, the older alpha is now giving off his own pheromones, challenging Minwoo for a fight, to which Minwoo automatically responds by amplifying his own.
'Minwoo, you should leave.' Their silent duel is broken by Mengyao's soft yet firm command. Looking around, he sees everyone looking at them, as if they are in a play. He turns back to the group with all three members, except Wonho, staring at him seriously. Outnumbered and feeling ridiculed, he laughs lightly, backing away.
This whole thing is outrageous. He finally understands what is happening. He should've known Wonho is only enjoying the attention he is giving like a desperate puppy with no intention to take it further. Minwoo is toyed with and thrown away. By a fucking beta.
'Fine. I'll leave. Don't come running to me when you realize what you missed. Fucking dickheads.'
