Chapter 7: Eun-Seong: Goodbyes
The dorms had accepted Ah-Reum in and gave her her stuff which was dropped off by someone with the last name of Kang. They part ways and Eun-Seong heads over to his apartment.
The rest of the day is filled with settling in and taking a bath and finishing up his homework.
His eyes scan the penthouse.
'Empty…'
"I guess it really is real."

He longs for Nicholas.
Needing to be held.
Then he remembers the soft embrace of Ah-Reum who helped him through his heat.
"Eun-Seong, what happened?" Minhyun asks.
"Yeah, you have been prodding at your food for a minute or so. Eat. Your sadness can be filled with good food. When you're full. I hope you will tell us what is wrong." Dohyun says.
His friends urge him to eat and when he does he notices his ex, sitting at the same table as his elder sister. A gaggle of girls fawning over her and Nicholas loudly.
This causes Dohyun and Minhyun to look over and trace where his eyes are looking.
"No way. Is that who I think it is?" Dohyun asks.
"Holy sh!t, it is!" Minhyun whisper yells.
"What is Nicholas doing over there?" Dohyun questions.
"And with a bunch of omega women. Ew." Minhyun adds.
Eun-Seong, who doesn't know what to say notices that his elder sister was kissing him.
'Damn, they look happy.' Eun-Seong daydreams.
In his mind he sees red, falling into the scent of clary sage, jasmine and ylang ylang pheromones.
'Nothing extra today.'
Eun-Seong's eyes widen smelling the fragrant sweet and strong smell of the alpha.
And there she is with an off the shoulder silver crop top with a black strappy undershirt and a very short pair of cropped bleached gray jean shorts and tall thigh length black socks. Fluffy tan booties by Ugh, which is the company's signature style.
Some guys at the jock table who do taekwondo at school for club stand and walk over to her.
"Wait is that Ah-Reum?" Dohyun asks. Eun-Seong doesn't answer not taking his eyes off of her as the guys near her.
'I want to do something, but my body has stuck itself to the seat. Probably for the better. She's an alpha, she can protect herself.'
But just as he thinks that he watches as they purposely bump into her causing her food to fall off of its tray and onto the floor.
"Watch where you are fvcking going!" The leader yells, Eun-Seong catches a cheeky grin on his face. He was rather tall.
"I have an idea on how she can pay us back." A shorter alpha with tired eyes suggests.
(メ`ロ´)︻デ═一 [≡] 〆(・⺫・‶)
The biggest one grabs her by the arm and throws her over his shoulder as walk out of the cafeteria with her.
"They are probably gonna fvck her." Minhyun says. "You smelt that strong floral scent that kinda smells like candy? It is attacking my fvcking nose. Such a strong overpowering scent that I could taste the smell in my mouth."
"She's probably gonna be in heat soon. So that means she really is an omega." Dohyun speaks loudly.
"I need to use the bathroom." Eun-Seong says standing up.
He quietly follows after the guys until they walk to the men's room with her.
"Sh!t." He carefully slides in and walks into a stall and stands on the toilet. Peeking in on them by the urinals just below.
Two guys are holding her at her sides. A long haired one leans against the wall on his phone.
"Wearing clothes like this and smelling like that. You wanted this." The tired looking one says.
They pull down her pants.
"How cute." The leader says pulling down his pants revealing his subpar piece.
'Why isn't she doing anything?'
"Hey, hurry she is waking up." One of the lackeys with bright eyes says.
He watches as they try to put themselves in her.
"What the hell. She is so tight I can't get in." Their leader says.
The other's start pulling down their pants, but Ah-Reum is faster.
She stands, despite being half a head shorter than most of the burly alphas, she has an air of dominance over them, their scents completely masked over by her sweet floral scent.
Eun-Seong feels his legs trembling as he gets wet from the scent alone remembering their night together.
The final bout of heat passes over him as he bucks his hips and comes to a muted orgasm.
"Sh!t," He mutters. "What the hell was that? Are we compatible?"
He peers over when he hears the bathroom's entrance door open, his friends Dohyun and Minhyun wander into the bathroom.
"Eww. Why the heck are you in the men's bathroom? Being a slvtty omega or something?" Minhyun asks pointing to her pants which were down to the ground now.
The dusting of red hair is clear to see, she is a natural red head. But Eun-Seong remembers she had her cherry red hair from when they were younger. Why does she have red hair? She isn't exactly what one would call white.
'Perhaps it has something to do with her mother? As her mama has dark colored hair.' He ponders.
"Who are you?" Dohyun asks.
"Not answering you." She winces rubbing her temple.
"It doesn't work like that. You tell us who the hell you are, we are going to report you."
The bigger alphas laugh and the tall long haired one walks over and throws an arm around Ah-Reum's shoulder.
"We were only playing, there is nothing wrong if an alpha wants to make use of a female omega. Isn't that right Ah-Reum?" The bright eyed one says.
Eun-Seong catches her face morph in disgust.
"Ew, what the hell?" He catches her say.
"You! You're that girl!" Dohyun yells out. His wine red hair making him feel like a fraud compared to Ah-Reum who's hair is dark red at the roots while his is black.
Minhyun not getting it says, "There is everything wrong with using an omegan woman in the bathroom."
"Minhyun, remember this school is run by alphas, they don't care about the girl omegas anything can happen to them for all they care." Dohyun explains. "Besides, they are needy and favored by betas; bishes who can't keep their legs closed." He caterwauls.
"Calm down, this is just club bonding. There are not many omegas who would actively join taekwondo." One of the lackeys with bright eyes and curls cheerfully says.
"Well crud, look at the time. Let's move out guys." The alphas follow after their leader walking out of the bathroom.
"See you later Red!" The long haired one calls out.
Their entire demeanor towards her changed.
Eun-Seong watches as she pulls up her pants and starts to head out of the bathroom.
"Wait." Dohyun starts. It was an order.
She doesn't pause.
"That b!tch! Who does she think she is? Most female omegas follow the orders of men. Why did she just ignore me like that?" Dohyun makes a sour face.
Eun-Seong slowly clambers off of the toilet and opens the bathroom door.
"Eun-Seong, there you are, we have been looking for you everywhere."
Eun-Seong remains quiet and thinks about the new information he learned.
'Taekwondo? That explains her strength and skill.'
He stares at the urinal she was forced against, she was almost violated.
"Eun-Seong, we are talking to you. What happened?" Dohyun asks.
"She was nearly raped." Eun-Seong sputters.
"Who cares. Just another omega slvt." Minhyun says not reading the situation.
"What the fvck is wrong with you?" The disgust in Eun-Seong's eyes evident.
He glares at Minhyun and before he decides to hurt his feelings, he leaves the bathroom needing to catch his breath. His omega going wild within him as he began hyperventilating after witnessing what he had. What happened if it had been him there? He could have stopped this from happening, but what if he was too weak?
Breathing hard he purchases a tea from the vending machine as he tries to calm himself down.
The calming scent of Ah-Reum's pheromones fill his nose, urging him to relax his breathing.
"You alright?" She asks pulling out a canned carbonated milk drink from the vending machine.
"How did you know how to find me?" Eun-Seong sniffles.
He looks up into her fiery eyes. As she sits next to him.
"Hmm?" She hums with a light smile. "I followed the scent of chocolate and strawberries. You saw. Didn't you? Must have been scary." She says popping open the can of Milki.
"No sh!t." Eun-Seong says deadpanning.
Eun-Seong pauses before his fretting returns.
"Why didn't you fight back?" Eun-Seong queried.
"You know why." She objects.
"No I don't, and it would be nice for you to clearify it for me." Eun-Seong retorts standing.
"You even said it yourself. If I fought I would be punished."
"You can fight for yourself."
"Not here. I would get kicked out, the entire place is run by alpha men." Ah-Reum's eyes face the corner of the hallway.
A flash of blonde hair and a tall structure turns the corner just as Ah-Reum sets her head down on his shoulder.
"Sometimes, I ask myself, why am I even alive?" She shuts her eyes as the one and only Nicholas comes into view. "Besides those guys—"
"Eun-Seong?"
Nicholas looks at the woman then to him.
"Who is she to you." He demands, jealousy lacing his words.
"Being territorial at a time like this? Lest you forget, you cheated and ruined our families' oath." Eun-Seong retorts with a smirk. "Miss me?"
"Of course I miss you!" The response shook Eun-Seong slightly causing his glare to waver.
"If you would have spent your heats with me perhaps this never would have happened, maybe if you marked me I would have never have cheated." Nicholas blames.
"You're trying to put your infidelity on me? I thought you were better than that Nicholas."
Nicholas sighs.
"I see you moved on quick." He glares.
"Same to you." Eun-Seong says.
"Am I interrupting something brother?" Eun-Ji says waking towards Nicholas and tucking her arm in the crux of his.
Wearing a white shirt with a brown plaid skirt with a cream cardigan. A big brown bow tie tied around her neck. And her hair tied up into a high ponytail with a white ribbon fixed into a bow. She is all dolled up.
Eun-Seong stays silent.
"Ah-Reum? Wait, are you two together?" She says with an evil smile.
"Eun-Seong, you went for a downgrade? Now this is hilarious. Star son goes for sisters sucky ex who doesn't know to not use condoms."
"You talk too much. Learn to shut up sometimes." Eun-Seong says crossing his arms.
Nicholas frowns and turns his head away being unable to say anything back.
"Let's go Eun-Ji." Nicholas turns to her.
"But—"
He gives her a look and her head bows as she follows him away, fuming in his wake.
A light chuckle could be heard before breaking into pure unadulterated laughter.
Eun-Seong turns to Ah-Reum who's arm was in the crux of his elbow as she brushes her tears away with a certain mirth about her face.
"You're a riot Eun-Seong."
"I am. Don't let them push you over, and be more open about being an alpha. Don't be silent, be loud. For me please?"
And to that he smiles cutely, showing off his omegan fangs before tucking his head into her scent gland and taking a deep breath.
"Greedy." She tuts.
"I have to be." Eun-Seong hums.
