The Claimed Omega

'Gotta go real quick!' Wonho makes way for his friend to move, staring as Jinyoung rushes in between the crowd towards the exit. The match just ended with the opponent's win, but his team was not too far behind. It was a close win.

Now waiting patiently in his seat, finding the time to greet his mate who is still talking with his teammate, Wonho cannot help but frown as the two cheerleaders make their way towards the team. Well, seeing that they are technically a part of the team, that should not be a huge deal. But, he just doesn't like seeing them near Minwoo.

Wonho scoffs to himself, watching as the girl taps on Minwoo's back, getting his attention. She is saying something to him, but the alpha cannot hear her well judging from his expression. Leaning closer towards her, the cheerleader whispers something to him which makes Wonho annoyed. It is obvious what she is trying to do. Had she talked louder, Minwoo could have heard her the first time.

Wonho quickly turns his head towards the other end of the court when he realizes Minwoo is glancing at him. Not wanting to make things awkward, he looks down at the floor, taking out his phone to pretend to be busy.

Of course. Minwoo is an attractive guy, it makes sense that he has a lot of fans. Wonho just never realized that when they were courting each other because he never paid attention to the alpha in the first place, nor feel the need to be aware of any rivals. This is probably everyday life for Minwoo. He just has to get used to this.

Getting out of the bus near the north gate, the couple walk their usual route towards their dormitories. They skipped the after-party and went to have early-dinner instead. Now, all filled and content they decided to end the day.

'Lemme get that.' Wonho offers to carry Minwoo's bag for him, sensing that the man is tired. However, instead of handing him what he asked for, the alpha laughs at the offer. That feels somewhat offensive because it feels like Minwoo is mocking him. 'What?'

'It's heavy.' Wonho automatically pouts at that statement. It is just a bag with his damned shoes and uniform. Is this guy looking down on him or what? 'I can't let you carry this.'

'The hell? Gimme that!' Wonho grabs the navy bag from the alpha and walks in front, not enjoying how he was treated. He is not a fragile person to not be able to handle a measly task such as carrying a bag. He is not that weak, despite being an omega. He is definitely not the 'woman' in the relationship.

'Tsk.' He curses inwardly. Is he angry at what happened during the match? Because this feels unreasonable. Why is he ticked off with Minwoo's usual playfulness? And why is he stomping his feet?

Owh god, he is jealous.

Stopping his steps, Wonho turns back to look at Minwoo who is smiling at himself, as if he is enjoying the whole display of tantrums. Which is weird. He is acting childish, why is this acceptable? Minwoo always seems to hate such a thing, from his annoyed looks whenever people attempt that to get his attention like some of his suitors. And yet, why is he smiling so widely? Did he hit his head while playing?

'You're weird... why are you smiling like that' He asks, waiting for the guy to catch up. Staring at his face, Wonho places one hand on his forehead. 'Are you okay?'

'I think I'm a bit drunk…' Wonho frowns. Drunk? They didn't drink alcohol today, he was sure Minwoo only had a pineapple juice just now. Unless… someone tried to drug him? Again? Owh god, what should he do-

'I got drunk from love~' Minwoo moves closer but before he manages to steal a kiss, Wonho pushes his head away. Fucking pick-up lines! He should have known!

'Yah, get away from me!' He runs as quickly as he can towards the alpha's dormitory. 'KIM MINWOO YOU SUCKK!'

When Minwoo gets cheesy, he gets real cringy. And Wonho can never handle him. He always wonders where the alpha gets all these stupid pick-up lines, or if they ever work. Because Wonho always shivers when he hears any of them.

There is no way he is letting Minwoo send him to his room tonight.

'Thanks for the help,' Sangcheol utters while cutting the scallion on the counter. Minwoo grins at the older, making sure to stir the sundubu-jjigae lightly to not break the tofu. He can hear his mate muffled voice from one of the rooms, probably helping Haneul finish the bedroom. In the living room, the two betas are busy plugging in the television.

The two oldest members of Wonho's pack finally found their new house – a nice apartment about half an hour away from campus, and Sangcheol decided to include Minwoo in the moving process. Although he thought it would be weird since this would be his first official outing with the members since he got back together with Wonho, and the fact that Junjie was invited too, he accepted the request anyway. He doubted they would fight in the presence of Wonho. Or Sangcheol.

And he was right.

They made sure Minwoo and Junjie doesn't have the same task. And amazingly, they survived the day without any incidents.

Putting the foods on the small dining table, the two alphas call out to the others to have dinner together. Junjie and Mengyao comes in with stools in hand, with the former making sure to seat the furthest away from Minwoo. Not that the younger alpha minded, in fact, he appreciates it. The sight of the man still irks him, even after all this time.

'This is a really nice house.' Mengyao comments once all the members are gathered at the table, the bowls of rice passed around. Minwoo nods, looking around the big 2LDK apartment. To be honest, he was surprised when he first entered the apartment building - the place has great security, and once again, when he entered the house. Certainly an expensive house for a fresh-graduate, more so for a graduating student. Sangcheol doesn't look like he is from a rich family, and if he is not mistaken, Haneul is an orphan. He wonders how they can afford this house.

Of course, he didn't ask. That would be rude.

'Yah, how can you afford this? Eomma appa?' Wonho asks, catching him by surprise. 'Or did you do some night jobs?'

Minwoo almost face-palm himself from second-hand embarrassment.
