18 World 1.17

"I can explain.."

The embarrassment crawled between them, their faces becoming hot; together with their ears. It was a cold night but the atmosphere between them grew warm. Yang was unable to think that time, he was frozen there with his chest pounding. Their eyes are locked to each other.

"D-Daewon.." Jihoon spoke lowly

For another time, Yang heard his name from the omega again. Everyone calls his name, but it sounds different when it slips out of Jihoon's mouth. The burning sensation on his chest suddenly ran all over his body, like he was electrified. 

His hands move on it's own pinning the omega's wrist above it's head "Hngh!" Jihoon clenched his fist with tightly closed eyes. The grip is getting tighter, like Yang would crush his veins. The alpha was quiet, his dominance aura was bringing shivers to the male. "L-Let go..i-it hurts.." Jihoon squeaks for the second time.

Yang jolted when he snapped back to his thoughts, he almost threw himself at the edge of the bed, away from Jihoon. "I-Im sorry.." he uttered in a languor voice looking down on his shaky hands. He stood up, still dazed. He didn't know that his dominant side would take over him in this way.

{This Alpha thing is really troublesome}

The omega on the bed slides down his body inside the blanket and then turns his back facing the window. "J-Jihoon? I.. Im sorry.. I didn't mean to--" Yang zip his unfinished words "I-Im going now, g-goodnight" and then he totally vanished from the male's side

'CURRENT PERCENTAGE: 72%'

Yang went home with a mournful face, he locked his room then turned off the lights. He was so lifeless to change his uniform. He picked up the body pillow on his side and then embraced it with his knees curled.

{Author, are you there?}

AUTHOR: And what is it that you want? hmm

{You know It's not really my fault. the love meter reduced by 3%}

AUTHOR: Why do you say so? You almost released your pheromones earlier

{Im telling you It's not my fault for being an Alpha, this omegaverse thing is all your ideas}

AUTHOR: How dare you throw tantrums on me!

{Ah! Don't talk to me..}

The next morning, Yang really ignored AUTHOR, he was sulking all day. Even the mood inside the Student Organization's Office suddenly went down, he was really at loss. After the meeting, Yang slacked himself outside the room, remembering the good old days when Jihoon was standing beside the door, waiting for him.

{My poor self! I can't take it anymore!}

He was reciting some melancholic lines in his mind like he was in a farewell drama. "Oh my Jihoon, forgive my love, my mistake.!" he burst out, hands on the head like he was going to die..

Meanwhile, the system was buffering, it was gathering some new information..

The hologram blocked his sight, it was flashing a green light; it means new acquisition.

'NEW INFORMATION ACQUIRED'

{I don't care, get lost!}

Yang ignored the hologram circling around him. He was busy in his thoughts on how to win his omega back. But the system didn't let him away.

'NEW INFORMATION ACQUIRED: THERE ARE ANOTHER CHARACTER IN THE WORLD'

He choked his own saliva and then he raised from the floor.. "What?!!" his voice echoed around the school.

{Hey! Hey! Wait a minute! Wait a goddamn hell minute! What is this AUTHOR?!}

AUTHOR: Don't talk to m--

{Okay Fine! fine! Im sorry! What the heck is this?!}

AUTHOR: I said don't talk to me!

{And now you're having tantrums? You're old enough to thr--}

AUTHOR: How dare you! You didn't even know me! 

Yang sighed and took out the pen hanging on his neck, he pressed the button. The hologram appeared again, it was showing data. But the personal data is incomplete, even the picture on the right corner was blurred. The name was also... unknown.

{Who the heck is this new character?}

AUTHOR: The more you move, the more features you unlock

{Wait! Is this Jihoon's love interest? I mean the true love interest?!}

AUTHOR: Who knows?

"Arrrghhh!!! This is so troublesome! I'm so fucked up!" he slide up his bag on the shoulders and then walked away tramping his feet. He reached the school parking lot in a minute, he was about to turned around when he saw two shadows lurking in the dark alley. He was stunned from what he heard "You dating that Daewon guy? Heh? Aren't you scared? You're too cocky" and then the voice laughed. The guy he was blocking spoke "D-Don't hu-hurt him.."

It was Jihoon's voice, Yang hurriedly attacked the guy by giving him a kick on the back, he curled down on the ground as he released Jihoon's collar. Yang let the omega hide on his back "Who are you?!" he asked, but the guy didn't answer, he was wearing a black mask and a hood. His face was unrecognizable. He ran away the moment Yang took out his phone to call the police.

They went first to the School Clinic, the nurse is not around anymore so Yang initiates to treat Jihoon's wounds and bruises on the face. 

"Are you really okay?" Yang was so worried, he gently wiped the bruise on Jihoon's face using the cotton ball with disinfectant on it.

Jihoon didn't speak until Yang finished, They walked silently in the hallway, the omega was walking ahead of Yang. The omega was disconcerted, his hands were shaking.

{Damn! What am I gonna do?}

"Jihoon?"The male didn't turn around instead he accelerated his walk, Yang tried to catch his pace and then seized his wrist "Jihoo--" he froze when he saw the tears threatening to spill from the male's eyes. His arms enveloped Jihoon on it's own, he squeezed him tight and patted his head "Please... shhhh... please don't cry.." Yang spoke in a gentle voice

Jihoon clung onto him a little more, he sniffled quietly. His body was calm but his mind is tangled right now. Yang is very important to him, he didn't want to lose another special person in his life.

The next morning, they went to school together. Yang was very careful this time, he wants to protect Jihoon in case the man comes back. When he asked the male about the man in a black hood, he just shook his head. Yang did not insist, he wanted to respect Jihoon's answer. But he will not hesitate to make a move when it happens again.

Yang went back to his classroom, as Jihoon. Their professor came in late.. "Everybody take your seat" he ordered. When everything was all right, the professor called someone outside.

Everybody froze to their seats when they saw the man walking in. He has spiky golden hair with his phoenix scarlet eyes, his nose was a well-designed pair with his curve lips. He has a medium-build body with an average height. From his smell, he was an alpha; a dominant one.

He smiled at everyone "Hello everyone, Im Minyeok Park, 18 years old, I am the new transferee in your school.. please take good care of me" then he smirked and bow his head. All the girls in the class scream their hearts out, the new transferee is really getting the spotlight. Somehow, Yang felt annoyed as the top student, he should be the one getting that attention.

He was so pissed that he didn't notice the voice calling his name "Excuse me, Can I sit here?" a smiley face showed up on his sight "Ah yeah, do as you please.." Yang replied and then he looked away

{What a too-goody-shoes guy, tch! I'm more handsome than you}

AUTHOR: I disagree, he is more handsome than--

{Is blonde guys your type?!}

AUTHOR: I'm just saying the truth here, I'm not bias

{Shouldn't you be on my side?! Damn! you're pissing me off too..hmp!}

Yang was dazed when he heard a small chuckle, he turned to his side. The man was still covering his mouth "Opss! Im sorry.. It's just that, you're too cute sulking over there" Minyeok said softly so that the Professor in front would not notice them. Yang admits that this boy over here is like a grain of sunshine when grinning, but he was not convinced about it. His mind is only focused on the man who attacked Jihoon.

It was time for their lunch time. Yang was patiently waiting for Jihoon outside the classroom, his back was leaning on the wall beside the open balcony. It was included on the list that Jihoon wants to eat with him everyday but it feels like today is not a great day for him.

"Come on! Just try it, it's the limited edition sandwich burger.." This golden hair man keeps on pestering him to take a bite "I told you, Im fine.." he tries to make a little smile

"How would you know if you're not going to taste it?" Minyeok was circling on him this time "Come on, just try it.." the male grabbed his hand and then put the sandwich on his palm "Thank me next time.." then Minyeok left him. He squeezed the sandwich on his grip.

{Damn! I want to punch him..}

AUTHOR: You can't, protect your reputation

{He's very annoying, Did he have a crush on me or something?}

AUTHOR: On your left

"What the heck is on my le--" he saw Jihoon a meter away on his left, looking at him from afar. But the moment their eyes met, Jihoon turned around and walked away..

"Wait! Did he see that-- crap! he really saw!"
