Chapter 2 - Reunion (1)

"Omega…"

I sighed and looked at the freshman sitting next to me, he had a confused expression on his face that was hard to explain. the memory fragments that popped up in my head made me press my chest hard. Meanwhile, Park Seongjae approached me without realizing it.

"Hyung, come on! Let's toast"

It had been three hours since the drinking party that was considered a freshman welcome party had begun. Is someone like me who has been a longtime student worthy to attend this freshman welcome party? Expect for me, they were all having fun. I tried to refuse but in the end i was forced to this party.

"Stop drinking! You're drunk"

"Come on Hyung, you just got discharged. Is it important if i'm drunk?"

People might think that he's the one who just got discharged, not me. as he shook his head and shifted to the side, a freshman sat next to me and asked a question.

"Sunbae, did you just get back from serve military?

"Huh? Oh yes. I returned to school after being discharged from serve military"

"Oh.. that's why you're wearing a hat"

The freshman pointed to my hat. I reflexively grabbed the brim of the black hat i was wearing. It's actually been a month since i was discharged, that's not why i'm wearing a hat. There are many things that need to be explained. The freshman looked at me with a sharp gaze.

"But Sunbae…"

"Let's toast!"

The other freshman were interrupted by Park Seongjae words. The staggered man poured himself a full glass of alcohol and insisted on a toast. Soju overflowed in the glass, obsolutely disgusting.

"You guys just drink"

Now is not the time to drink. Inside the pub is full of drunks. It's really chaotic! Besides, every time the pub door opened and closed an unpleasant feeling filled my throat. Whetherthe people who enter are people from the economics department, that's what i'm worried about.

"What are we cheering for?"

"Anything is fine"

I waved but the others didn't seem to care about that. They even urged freshman to play with each other and toast each other. But the freshman next to me smiled and raised his glass.

"How about, cheering for Yoonwoo Sunbae discharge from the serve military?"

"Why in the welcome party for freshman?"

"Oh great, let's do that!"

Everyone gathered. Park Seongjae poured alcohol to the brim and then raised his glass high and shouted loudly.

"For Yoonwoo Sunbae discharged from serve military!!"

The transparent soju glass collided with another glass. As the star of this party, i didn't even raise my glass. The drunken freshman pour and drink soju again.

"Oppa, congratulations on your discharge"

"Wow, student back to school!"

I looked at the people talking to each other then shook heads and sighed. It's already the tenth time I've been congratulated, even my family didn't welcome and greet me… Of course, drinking alcohol is important than celebrating my discharged.

—ding

The door opens and closes again. My shoulder reflex, realized that the person who entered was someone i didn't recognize i immediately straightened my body. Ah… This is why i don't want to come.

Actually, I know this doesn't need to be worried. This is not the only pub here. There is no reason why the economics department will choose this pub. Besides that, if according to his personality, it seems he won't take part in a meeting like this.

I lifted a little hat to guard, once again there was no face I knew. I don't feel the pheromone, so it looks like it won't come.

"Sunbae…"

When I realized it, I began to feel a little relieved and my tense shoulder relax.

"Why?"

So I answered feeling comfortable, but when my eyes met the new student I gasped. That's because he looked at my face with a persistent look. Starting from the eyes and then the nose then lips. Like a five-year-old child looked at me by tilting his head as if he wanted to know.

"Why did you go to the serve military?"

That's not possible random questions. If you ask me why I went to the military service because I was born as a Korean and also as a man, what would you say? While frowning to understand the intention of his question, the new student opened his mouth with a smile.

"Sunbae, I mean is ..."

—ding

I didn't hear the word he said again. That's because my whole body is stiff with the sound of the door of the pub open. My heart feels like falling. I turned to check the people who entered.

"Choi Taegyeom came"

Damn it. That's what crossed my mind. I immediately fixed my hat by pressing it down, i saw a new student coming. I realized it, i can't check it.

"Yoonwoo Sunbae?"

"Don't call my name"

"…What?"

My heart beats fast. It felt like my body was filled with pheromones that i could feel from afar. Dominant Alpha presence, that presence is no joke.

"What? Alpha?"

"The pheromones are amazing"

Looks like I'm not the only one feeling it. The new students who were busy drinking looked at Choi Taegyeom. Despite the fact that most of them were beta, the atmosphere changed the moment he entered. Several Alpha and Omega stared at him.

"Wow, look at that Sunbae… seems like the dominant Alpha"

It seems that the student next to me is either Alpha or Omega. No, considering he has a calm voice he is most likely an Alpha.

—badump

My heart beats faster and faster. I didn't look at him but I knew Choi Taekyeom would definitely pass me by. A Man I haven't seen in years have more attractive pheromones than before.

"Sunbae, are you okay?"

The freshman who noticed my behavior asked anxiously. He put his hand on my shoulder and tried to examine my face under my hat. Thank you for your concern, but it is very dangerous for me to speak now.

"I'm okay"

I tugged at the freshman clothes while keeping my voice as low as possible. Choi Taegyeom will recognize me with just one word. I've been with that guy for a few years, but I don't want to meet him like this.

"3rd year"

But the world didn't go the way I wanted it to. Park Seongjae, who had been drinking quietly (not calmly) suddenly stood up and came to me. Please, please don't. The cries of despair did not reach him. Park Seongjae pointed at me with a smile on his face.

"Yoonwoo Hyung retook the exam, so it's his 3rd year"

Damn. I tried to stand up but at that moment, Choi Taegyeom Pheromones scattered. I grabbed the sleeve of the freshman beside me and lowered my head but Choi Taegyeom pheromones spread more and more.

My stomach felt twisted with tension. At this point, it seemed that even the freshman felt strange. He slowly looked into my eyes then his eyes lifted to look at Choi Taegyeom. The only thing that doesn't bother me is that Park Seongjae doesn't feel pheromones because he's a Beta.

"Lee Yoonwoo?"

My nose felt like I was breathing and my heart skipped a beat when I heard that word.

"You…"

Step by step, Choi Taegyeom drew closer and the pheromone scattered closer and closer. I kept my voice as low as possible and whispered to Park Seongjae who couldn't understand the situation.

"Fuck you" I warned Park Seongjae

"Huh.. me?"

Park Seongjae couldn't dodge it because Choi Taekyeom arrived quickly. Even before I was about to run away, he immediately grabbed my hand.

"Lee Yoonwoo"

Five years! Now I can feel the scent of pheromones that I haven't felt for five years.

"Oh..Taegyeom"

Choi Taegyeom hasn't changed much from 5 years ago. No, I think he's more handsome.

"It's been so long, how have you been?"

I answered as naturally as possible and the bar became very quiet. It was because of the frightening and intimidating pheromone that Choi Taegyeom emitted. It was quite heavy and cold for Alpha, Omega and Beta too.

"You…"

Everything looks limp because his pheromones. I felt suffocated and I didn't know if I was going to lose consciousness. I got up from my seat with a sigh then I saw a dazed freshman with wide open eyes.

"…Let's go out and talk"

This place is not good.Too much Alpha and Omega, I also thought that if I continued to inhale the scent of the pheromones I would lose my mind.

"I will go out"

"Yes hyung! hurry back"

Luckily Choi Taegyeom followed me without saying a word. As if he didn't want to let go of my hand, he held it so tightly that it hurt me. The words I would have spoken in the past don't come out of my mouth easily.
