Chapter 8 - Ah-Reum: The Alpha

Once she changes her outfit, she feels ready enough to attend Taekwondo Club.

She takes a turn around the end of the hall, Eun-Seong's hand in hers as she heads to her club room.

His hands are slightly clammy and cool to the touch. Not the same as during his heat.

'His body temperature must run lower that usual.' Ah-Ream thinks. 'Is he still nervous?'

"Are you not bothered by them, why would you go into a space with people who nearly raped you?" Eun-Seong asks.

"Well, it isn't like this would be the first time they pulled something like this. Last time they pretended to kiss me. So I wouldn't take it seriously."

"Who's ready to get their arse whooped!" Ah-Reum yells questioning the alphas in the room as she makes a hard right into the open doorway.

She pauses when she sees a new face standing at the center of the group, alphas lie on the ground and their hands raise as the buff bodied man with a handsome face turns to face her, the one who actively challenged him.

A crap eating grin spreads over his face. Like butter on toasted bread, his body creaks as he spreads his fresh pine pheromones around the room.

"An omega, here to cheerlead?" The man asks staring. "No, you must be the omega woman your club mates were talking about. 'Ah-Reum, save us,' they cry. I heard you were strong. Let us see about that."

"Eun-Seong, go to the benches."

She watches as he scrambles away to a safe distance.

Once far enough away she walks over to the alpha and gets into fighting stance.

Ah-Reum's signature scent burns bright through the room as she waits.

"Don't plan on hitting first? Well I will gladly take a shot first. Let's hope you don't regret this." He threatens tossing Ah-Reum her wisteria purple head gear. While he takes out a bright colored, boy blue one.

He pulls up a left foot and Ah-Reum lifts up her arms to guard.

If she had been any later she would have been knocked out.

'He's fast. But it isn't anything I can't handle.' She studies.

She makes space between her and her opponent. Assessing the damage to her left arm and she notes that she can still move it. That is all she needs.

"Hurts right? Should have just attacked first."

"Actually, I am fine." Ah-Reum holds out her arm. She crouches back into her stance and zooms closer and pummels him with the speed of a fast moving car. Slamming her body weight into him with a mighty kick to the shoulder blade.

She tosses herself into the air hitting a triple axel spin before bringing her leg up into the air for a final blow to the head as she comes down.

The mysterious Alpha grabs her ankle and throws her hoping to get her out of the ring to forfeit gripping the area he has been hit.

She noticing she is flying out of bounds kicks the air feeling it solidify under her feet enough to kick off of it and change trajectory. She backflips seconds from the edge.

"Who are you?" She questions, turning around to face him.

He lets out a deep belly chuckle opening his hands to striking potions as Ah-Reum moves her arms to curtain her face, her left arm below her right, parallel to each other.

"Choi Gun-Ho," He says moving closer trying to corner her to the edge of the ring. "I am new, I am surprised the choices are all so weak to fight."

"So you're that student who has been going to every combat club and making a mess of things. I got the text message about you yesterday." Ah-Reum grins. "What a displeasure of meeting you on these terms."

She leaps and wraps her legs around his neck and the force she comes flying at him makes him wobble a bit.

Where she was lacking in height and muscle compared to the alpha she made up in speed and agility.

She rebounds off of his shoulder and swings her leg hooking out behind his head and pulling him to the ground to where he falls flat on his face.

"Now I see I must take you seriously." He says standing back up and wiping his bloodied nose with the back of his hand.

He closes in the space between them and goes for a blow to the head with his right hand. She bends back and kicks her foot up going to his right side and strikes his hip. Leaving him open and undefended as her raw power cancels out the strength he is sending with his punch sending his top half one way and his lower body another stunning him.

'Let's end this quick.'

She fires rapidly a bunch of open-palmed hits.

Then one singular hit to the guts with the strength comparable to a rubber bullet pounds into his body and he buckles over before crashing down further.

Ah-Reum then pulls him into a pinned down position.

"Heh," A bemused look passes on his face. "I lost?"

Ah-Reum looks over to the omega who is staring in awe.

"Ah-Reum-ya is so~ strong." Eun-Seong sings his praises coloring himself impressed with the her performance and show of strength.

She lets out a passionate roar— a shout of success— and grins as if to say thank you.

Taking a stand once again she helps the alpha's who were downed by Gun-Ho.

Gun-Ho, being beat, runs out of the club room, metaphorical tail between his legs.

"Ah-Reum, thank you!" The biggest alpha says.

She nods just as Eun-Seong stands between her and the alphas.

"Stay away from her." He warns.

"Eun-Seong?" Ah-Reum asks.

He swirls around, dark waves swooping over his panicked eyes.

"They tried to…" The omega pauses shaking.

"If you're talking about what happened in the bathroom, don't worry about it." Ah-Reum says waving it off. "Because these knuckleheads have no sense of anything." She hits the tallest one upside the head.

"It was only a joke." The long haired one says. But Au-Reum knew this answer wouldn't satisfy Eun-Seong.

"A very terrible one that is." She puts it bluntly.

She lets out an exasperated sigh and pulls out her phone to check the time.

"Meet Lim Kyung-Chul," She points to the one who has dark eyes and a tired expression on his face. "Cho Jaehyun," A bright eyed curly mop headed alpha. "Yun Sang-Won," An alpha with long shoulder, length dark-hair and thin eyes. Then her hand stops on the tallest and most muscular.

"And this is Jung Jason."

"Pleasure to meet you." Jason smiles, warmly extending a hand out to Eun-Seong.

"There are few other members but they don't show up nearly as often as these guys do."

"That being said, we were just teasing her." Jaehyun reassures.

Ah-Reum rolls her eyes.

"Even if you are all friends, I don't trust you." Eun-Seong pouts.

"Dang, I didn't know you even had another omega nor that you were even into guys, weren't you and Eun-Ji a thing or something? Who's this?" Kyung-Chul asks, seemingly bored.

"He is not mine. We are just friends. This is Kim Eun-Seong." She explains.

"Another Kim, huh?" Sang-Won asks. "You're dating the family now Red?"

"You are so annoying." She says batting his head.

"Oh come on Red," He says. "You can't possibly make me believe that. You can't be friends with an omega especially a male one. Those kind only tend to hang around their own, unless you're dating them." Sang-Won says " They don't hang out with female omegas either. So it is either he likes you and you two are dating. Or you two are fvck buddies."

She stares hard at Sang-Won.

The thing is, she doesn't even know what her relationship with Eun-Seong is.

"I don't know okay." She tells him.

Sang-Won pulls her into a hug

"You do know I am going to have to tell great-grandpa you are dating a guy." He says.

Knowing Eun-Seong will have questions she tells him immediately.

"Sang-Won is my second cousin on my mother's side, he is related to my grandmother's sister's son." She holds a hand out presenting him once more.

"Oh, I see." He says putting his hands together nervously. She watches him eye the long haired alpha with a cautious glance.

"Actually, I am gonna take him with me. Need anything?" She looks to her cousin.

"No, just make sure you stay safe." He comes up to her ear adding with a whisper. "The Kim's are not to be trusted."

She snaps back with a whisper to his ear:

"Nah, I think I am more dangerous."

She smiles as she pulls Eun-Seong by the waist and walks out of the club room.

"What did he say?" Eun-Seong asks once outside the room.

"Use protection." She lies.
