Chapter 13
Breaking Walls‘Wanna try shooting?’ Seungcheol asked as he bounced the basketball on the ground, urging Jeonghan to play with him. They were alone in the middle of the hot day when everybody else would rather stay indoors. Looking at the sweaty pale man and the empty court, the young omega considered his invitation. He never liked such sports, preferring track and field where he could feel the air in his face instead of pushing and colliding with each other for balls. But, he was here anyway, and the alpha was really eager, so maybe this could be fun. Putting his notebook down, Jeonghan took the ball from the Seungcheol, enjoying his scent as they passed each other.
God, he smelled so mesmerizing.
‘Nope!’ Seungcheol laughed at his pathetic attempt to throw the ball into the hoop, and another one. Each time envisioning how satisfied he would feel when he finally scored one, Jeonghan tried so hard to ignore the excited guy. Well, he tried to, but it got to a point where it became frustrating as the ball kept hitting everywhere but the net, and Seungcheol did nothing but went to fetch it for him. And laugh. And clap.
Where was the touching? Where was the blocking or whatnot that he usually saw in the movies? That was the only reason why he was here in the first place – the skinship. Of course, getting to see the man in sleeveless sweating like crazy was damn y but that was just a bonus. He needed the touch. Why wasn’t Seungcheol trying to grab the ball from him even when he asked the man to demonstrate? Because he was ready to fight for it and do that thing they always do in the videos.
Seriously, this alpha couldn’t be more oblivious.
‘I give up.’ Jeonghan whined as he made his way back to his seat on the ground. Behind him, Seungcheol only laughed his dumb laugh, not reading the atmosphere. Lying down on the ground, using his notebook to shield his eyes from the bright sunlight, he noticed the other’s scent near him. And it stopped. The man took his own spot beside Jeonghan and laid down as well, doing the same action with his hand. ‘I still don’t get it.’
‘Maybe if you can shoot one, then you would.’
‘Maybe if you stop laughing and teach me, I would know how.’ He retorted back, venting his irritation. He just need to spell everything out with this guy. It kind of hurt his ego. And damn he smell good. Why the heck did he get so worked up for? He was just jumping around and throwing the stupid ball anyways.
‘I did! Didn’t you hear me at all?’ Jeonghan rolled his eyes and turn to his side before getting up. He was obviously not going to get what he wanted from this guy, not anytime soon. And owh, he was getting desperate. Heck, he would settle for a mere touch. No, even the thought of the alpha’s touch was enough to turn him on. And ever since that night a few days ago, his dominating scent was all he could think about before he went to sleep.
Imagining how he would wanted to drown himself in it, letting himself lose and forget everything…
Jeonghan swallowed as he realized he was digging his own grave right now. Seungcheol was right beside him, still excited from his exercise, his seductive pheromones very clear, tempting him. And he could only think about getting on top of him and ing the man senseless.
‘See ya.’ He excused himself, surprising the alpha still on the ground, ready for another round. Looking at his watch, Jeonghan closed his eyes as he sprinted to his room, trying to think of something disgusting to calm himself down.
A few more hours to go and he would get his release. Just a few more hours.

Finally.
Jeonghan took one last look at the mirror, ensuring his eyeliners were not smudged. The last few weeks had been really ually torturous with the dumb alpha tempting him almost every single day without even the slightest hint of wanting to take responsibility. Finally having no plans and getting to go to the club tonight, he wouldn’t want a stupid looking make up to ruin his chance with any potential amazing hook up.
Looking at his watch, the young omega took a few cash from his wallet, enough to pay for the taxi fare and hotel, his usual pepper spray which he hid in his leather jacket, his student ID and his phone, the only things he need for tonight.
Tonight, he was going to someone. Real good.
He was going to get his weeks’ worth of .

The ring from his phone woke Seungcheol up. Realizing he fell asleep on his desk while doing his homework, he got up and dragged his legs. Feeling the edge of the soft bed on his shin, the tired student let himself fall down face first, enjoying the smell of the mattress lullabying him to sleep.
He had burnt all his energy playing in the middle of the afternoon, in the scorching heat today. He had none left for studying right now.
Patting the bed for his phone, Seungcheol opened the new message he received just now. Closing his eyes shut, smiling at the message which made his night felt complete, he put the phone down.
Wait, he needed to read it again, just because.
Goodnight to you too ;) - Jeonghan

‘Hey Joshua!’ Seungcheol waved at the omega waiting at the park for him. The man waved back, but the alpha kept looking around for the other omega. It was already four o’clock, Jeonghan should be done with his last class as well. Though, it shouldn’t matter since he would be joining them soon anyway, Seungcheol couldn’t help but feel a little awkward with just the two of them here. Because, he never spent time alone with Joshua. And he didn’t know how or what to talk to him about.
‘So you guys decided where to go yet?’ He tried to start the conversation, not wanting to sit in silence and show his slight discomfort. Opening the note he wrote on his phone on the omegas’ ‘Korean stuff bucket list’ which Jeonghan forced him to join, he looked over to Joshua’s print-outs. It seemed, their next stop would be the hot spring, which honestly, he wouldn’t recommend considering the hot weather.
‘We’re not going here.’ He commented as he flipped through some of the long list of hot springs Joshua compiled which was actually rather amusing because, they were all over Korea. And Joshua got the natural hot springs and mere bathhouses mixed up.
‘But this is one of the best ones.’ The gentle guy replied, showing him another list he printed of the top hot springs to visit in Seoul, which, again, were incorrect. Confirming their actual intention, and explaining the difference to the foreigner, Seungcheol then proceeded to tell him why he wouldn’t recommend the ones in his list – one, they are the more luxurious ones, not the kinds students like them would be able to afford just to take a bath and two, they wouldn’t be able to really experience what ‘Korean commoner’ would at such facilities as they would probably be fill
