"Oh dear, you looked good don't worry. He'll like you." Mihyun assures him so he just smiles and sighs.
When they entered the private room, the alpha was already there. Eyes locked on his phone and even though Jihan already knew the alpha's feelings for him he felt a little disappointed that didn't go unnoticed by the omega who made a sound.
"How rude, you didn't even look at us when we entered." the elder omega whines to her son.
"Mom I can smell your scent even before you enter the door, there's no reason for me to look up to know that you're with someone." the alpha says and Jihan gulps down the ugly feeling trying to come out from him. 'He's just someone' Jihan couldn't stop himself from thinking. Maybe his mom didn't tell him that he'll be joining lunch, maybe he should just go. Jihan thinks.
"Okay, whatever. Let's order food." Mihyun says and she smiles at Jihan. 'No, he's never a quitter.' So he smiles back and continues the talk that they we're having earlier as they order food. He's just thankful that it wasn't awkward at all. When the food arrived the conversation slowed down as they ate and from time to time they would talk about the dish they ordered and the stuff they do right now. Though the alpha isn't talking and just nodding whenever Mihyun throws a question at him and Jihan clearly understands that Wonbin is not interested at all.
And when Jihan thought everything was going great, Mihyun's phone rang and she excused herself to answer it. After a few minutes, she came back saying she has an important thing to do and what choice does Jihan have but to say take care and goodbye as the female omega insist that they should continue their lunch. So he does, he continued to eat his lunch until he heard the alpha talks.
"Yeah, you can come over. My mom already left." and then he hangs up the call. After a few minutes the door opened and the scent of an omega flooded the room, it smelled so good that his head turned to it automatically then he saw how beautiful the omega was. It makes his stomach churns upside down. The omega walked over to Wonbin like he wasn't there and seated beside him and for the most time he spent here with the alpha and Mihyun he can now only see the alpha smiling widely. So he already has someone else.
"Say hi, it's granda kim's grandson." Wonbin says and the omega turns to him and smiles.
"Hi, I saw you at the party last week with Wonbin's brother. Are you his fiance?" Jihan doesn't get the question so he answers safely.
"Nothing is official and our parents haven't confirmed anything so, I don't think so." He says and smiles.
"Are you done eating?" Wonbin asked so he glanced at him. "We need to go somewhere so if you're done let's go and I'll pay the bill." the alpha says and Jihan doesn't know how he gets the courage to laugh at what the alpha says.
"Oh no! You can just leave, I have money to pay besides I'm gonna meet someone too so you can go ahead." Jihan says and he raised his hand to check out. He gave his card that Yunjoo told him to use in case he needed money. He has cash but he doesn't know how much is the bill and he doubts himself that he can read it right now.
"Are you sure? I thought mom made your bodyguards go home so she can spend time alone with you?" Wonbin asks with a frown.
"Yeah but that's okay, my best friend will meet me where they left me. Since we have errands to do." Jihan says and when the waiter comes back with his card he gets all his stuff and bids the two goodbye.
As soon as he is out of the restaurant, he walks down where they came from earlier and dials Chansoo's number.
[hey hyung, what's up? I'm playing right now.] Chansoo greets and he just couldn't control his emotions. "Chansoo-yah." he says sadly and the loud noise that came from his game stopped. [Where are you hyung? Stay there, I'm coming. Send me your location, okay?] the younger alpha says and then he hangs up. He does what his brother told him too, he didn't wait for too long since he knew his brother's place is just near here.
When he saw Chansoo, the alpha immediately ran to him and gave him the warmest hug that he needed at that moment. "Let's go, hyung." Chansoo says and they walk out like that. With him drowning in the arms of his brother as the alpha holds the stuff he bought on the other hand.
Little did Jihan know that Wonbin saw him leaving with Chansoo, the alpha who's clueless about the relationship of the two thought that Jihan is seeing someone in secret.
"I told you, it was a bad idea. You shouldn't have let me come then at least you guys can have some time with each other." Wonbin glares at the omega.
"Then what do you want me to do? Let myself believe that I still have some hope? Hyung, you saw him walking out with an alpha and then there's my brother too. Why do I have so much competition? If only I knew back then that this would happen then I should have talked to him the first time I saw him at school now I can't even say a proper greeting to him, scared that I'll push him away if I try to make a move." Wonbin rants and Juhwan laughs at him.
"Well that's your problem not mine, couz." the omega says and Wonbin just sighed as he watched the omega walk away from him too. What does he have to do so Jihan would look at him like how he looked at Jaehyun whenever they talk?
