Top Digital Marketing Strategies for Small Businesses in 2025
In 2025, digital marketing for small businesses is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. With evolving algorithms, AI-driven personalization, and the rise of mobile-first consumers, businesses must adopt forward-thinking marketing strategies to stay competitive. Whether you're running a local service or launching a new product, mastering these top digital marketing strategies in 2025 can help your small business drive traffic, generate leads, and increase revenue.
In this guide, we’ll explore the most effective digital marketing strategies for small businesses and how you can implement them with minimal resources and maximum impact.
1. Focus on Local SEO and Google Business Profile Optimization
Local SEO remains one of the best digital marketing tactics for small businesses. In 2025, Google's focus on localized results and user intent makes this even more essential. Key Tips:
Optimize your Google Business Profile (GBP) with updated info, services, and photos.
Encourage and manage customer reviews.
Use local keywords like "best coffee shop in [city]" or "affordable SEO services [location]."
2. Create High-Quality, Long-Form Content
Google’s algorithm in 2025 favors helpful, informative, and keyword-optimized content. Long-form blogs and guides not only rank better but also build authority and trust. How to Do It:
Write 1,000+ word blog posts targeting specific keywords.
Use semantic SEO techniques and structured headings (H1, H2, H3).
Focus on evergreen topics and answer frequently asked questions.
3. Leverage AI-Powered Chatbots and Automation
AI isn’t just a buzzword—it’s transforming how businesses engage with customers. Why It Matters:
Automates lead generation and customer support.
Provides real-time responses and personalized interactions.
Enhances user experience on your website.
4. Invest in Social Media Advertising
In 2025, social media marketing for small businesses continues to offer affordable reach and targeted campaigns. Platforms to Watch:
Instagram Reels and Stories for visual brands
LinkedIn Ads for B2B marketing
TikTok for trend-based marketing
Create engaging content, use relevant hashtags, and experiment with paid ads for better reach.
5. Build an Email Marketing Funnel
Email marketing remains one of the highest ROI channels in digital marketing. Small businesses should focus on email list building and segmented campaigns. Key Elements:
Lead magnets (free guides, discounts)
Automated welcome series
Regular newsletters with updates and promotions
6. Use Influencer and Micro-Influencer Marketing
Partnering with local influencers and micro-influencers can drive traffic, reviews, and engagement without breaking the bank. Why It Works:
Builds trust through authentic endorsements
Targets niche audiences
Great for new product launches or promotions
Focus on influencers within your niche or city for maximum relevance.
7. Prioritize Mobile Optimization and Speed
With over 70% of users accessing websites via mobile, having a fast, responsive, and user-friendly website is no longer optional. Optimization Checklist:
Use a mobile-first design
Compress images for speed
Optimize Core Web Vitals
Simplify navigation and call-to-action buttons
8. Run Retargeting Campaigns
Many users won’t convert on their first visit. Retargeting ads via Google Ads or Meta can remind them and drive them back to your site. Best Practices:
Set up tracking pixels
Use dynamic product ads
Create urgency-based messages (limited-time offers)
9. Incorporate Voice Search Optimization
With the rise of smart assistants, optimizing for voice search is a smart move in 2025. How to Do It:
Use conversational keywords and long-tail phrases
Include FAQ sections on pages
Implement schema markup for rich results

𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐃𝐄𝐄𝐏𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐄 ⋯ 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐎𝐅 𝐇𝐈𝐒
𝐗𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑
The soft melody from his expensive royal-looking piano had drawn you in. Xavier was elsewhere in the living room, probably asleep. You couldn’t resist pressing a few keys, trying to recreate the tune he’d played yesterday. As you leaned over to reach a higher note, your sleeve caught on several keys, and with a sickening crack, they snapped loose.
Your hands flew to your mouth. Three keys hung at awkward angles, completely broken from their moorings. The room suddenly felt too small, your heart pounding as tears welled in your eyes.
You heard his footsteps before you saw him in the doorway. His eyes widened slightly at your tears.
“I’m so sorry,” you blurted. “I was just—I didn’t mean to—” You couldn’t finish the sentence as your voice cracked.
“Why are you crying?” he asked. He walk towards you, then knelt beside you, hands gentle as he took the broken piano keys from your trembling fingers.
“The piano...” you managed. “I broke it... I’ll pay for repairs, I promise...” you stammered, wiping at your eyes.
Xavier glanced at the damaged instrument, then back to you. A small smile formed at the corners of his mouth as he sat beside you.
“It was an accident,” he said simply, brushing a tear from your cheek with his thumb, his warm palm cupping your face. His touch lingered there, gentle and reassuring.
“But it’s your piano,” you insisted.
“The keys were already weak,” he replied with a slight shrug. “It’s already old, and I’ve been meaning to replace it.”
When you still looked uncertain, he added, “I don’t want you to be upset. Things break, and it’s okay.”
The way he said it—so matter-of-fact yet somehow gentle—made you feel like the broken piano truly was insignificant to him. In Xavier’s quiet, straightforward way, he’d made it clear that your distress concerned him far more than any damaged items.
𝐙𝐀𝐘𝐍𝐄
The hospital had called Zayne in for emergency surgeries three nights in a row. When you woke up early on his rare day off and found him already at his desk in the home office, surrounded by patient reports, you decided breakfast was in order.
You pushed the door open with your hip, balancing a tray with coffee and toast, just as Zayne reached for a folder. Your foot caught on the edge of his rug, and before you could regain balance, hot coffee splashed across his desk—directly onto the stack of patient reports he’d brought home. Dark liquid seeped into what looked like hours of meticulous work.
“I’m so sorry!” Your voice pitched higher with panic, ignoring the stinging pain on your palms. “Zayne, I’m so sorry—I didn’t mean—” Your hands shook as you tried to salvage the papers, only smearing them further.
Zayne stood immediately, his chair rolling back. The stern lines of his face were there, but not directed at you.
“Stop,” he said firmly, holding your hands away, and taking the tray from your shaking hands and setting it aside before you dropped it too. “Leave the papers.”
Tears welled up despite your efforts. “Your reports, all your work... I just—I just ruined your day off... I’m really sorry…”
Zayne set the papers aside and surprised you by taking your warm hands in his, turning them over to examine your skin.
“Did you burn yourself?” he asked, his voice soft.
You shook your head.
“Good.” He guided you to sit in his chair. “These are just copies. I can print them again.”
“But—”
“No ‘but.’” His thumb stroked across your knuckles, a small gesture of affection that contrasted with his authoritative tone. “I keep digital backups of everything, so don’t worry. And don’t feel bad about an accident you couldn’t control.”
He leaned down, pressing a brief kiss to your forehead, then reached for his phone.
“The reports can wait. Let’s order some breakfast, and I’ll get us something to heal your palms.”
𝐑𝐀𝐅𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐋
The afternoon sunlight streamed through Rafayel’s studio windows, casting a golden glow across his workspace. You’d come to surprise him with lunch since he often forgot to eat when absorbed in his art.
As you walked between tables covered with half-finished projects, your bag caught on something. You turned to see a delicate sculpture teetering on its pedestal—a twisted form of glass and clay that Rafayel had spent weeks perfecting. Your heart stopped as it fell, shattering against the floor with a sound that seemed to echo forever.
“Oh…! No, no, no,” you whispered, dropping to your knees. Your fingers trembled as you tried to gather the larger pieces, tears blurring your vision.
“What happened? I heard—” Rafayel’s voice cut off as he entered the studio. You looked up, seeing his expression shift as he took in the scene.
“Rafayel, I’m so sorry,” your voice broke as you continued frantically collecting shards. “I can find someone who can repair it, or—”
“Hey, hey, stop!” He crossed the room quickly, kneeling beside you. “Leave it. You’ll cut yourself.”
When you continued reaching for a particularly sharp piece, he gently captured your hands.
“Your art…” you said, tears now falling freely. “I broke it...”
“It’s just clay and glass,” he said, pulling you away from the broken pieces and into his arms. “I can make another whenever I want.”
“But this one was special—”
“Not as special as you are to me.” Rafayel’s arms tightened around you as he rested his chin on top of your head. “You’re going to hurt yourself on these pieces,” he whispered. He rocked you gently until your breathing steadied, then pulled back to wipe your tears with his thumb.
“Besides,” he added casually, “now I have an excuse to try that new technique I’ve been thinking about. I’ve been wanting to replace that one with something new anyway. Do you wanna see, cutie?”
𝐒𝐘𝐋𝐔𝐒
The wind through your hair, the purr of the engine between your legs—there was nothing like late-night rides on Sylus’s custom motorcycle. He’d let you borrow it occasionally, knowing how much you loved the freedom it gave you.
The evening ride had been your idea. “Just around the perimeter,” you’d suggested, and Sylus had agreed because honestly—what wouldn’t he do for you?
You didn’t see the oil slick until the bike suddenly skidded, then tumbled, throwing you clear but scraping across the pavement with a horrible screech of metal on asphalt. Pain shot through your arm as you landed hard.
He swore he’d never been so scared before. He just ditched his motorcycle and was at your side in an instant, his typically composed face taut with an emotion you rarely saw—fear.
“Don’t move,” he ordered, kneeling beside you, hands hovering as if afraid to touch you. “Where does it hurt?”
“The motorcycle—” you managed, tears forming as you looked at the mangled vehicle. Half the custom bodywork was destroyed, the handlebars twisted beyond recognition. “I’m so sorry—I’ll pay—I’ll—”
“Forget the motorcycle,” he snapped, voice sharp but hands gentle as they examined your scraped arm. He was mad at himself for letting the situation even happen.
You’d never seen him this shaken—Sylus, who always had a plan, who always remained calm and controlled.
“I shouldn’t have—” he cut himself off with a sigh before carefully helping you sit up. His fingers brushed your face, wiping away tears and examining you for injuries with tenderness. “I’m just glad the feisty kitten is all okay.” Sylus’s expression shifted to relief, though concern still lined his eyes.
“I’m sorry it got wrecked…” you whispered again.
“I have others,” he said dismissively. “Stop thinking about it.”
When he helped you to your feet, he kept his arm firmly around you, as if afraid you might vanish if he let go. The destroyed motorcycle lay forgotten on the road behind you as he carried you away to his own.
𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐁
The storage room in Caleb’s work room was cluttered with mementos from his piloting days. You were searching for an old photo album when your elbow knocked against something on a high shelf.
You turned just in time to see the model spacecraft—the intricate replica of Caleb’s first fighter that you’d given him last year—tumble and crash onto the floor. Pieces scattered everywhere, the delicate wings and engines breaking apart on impact.
Panic seized your chest as you dropped to your knees. Caleb had spent two days putting it together; you remembered how his face lit up with boyish excitement when you’d presented it to him. Now it lay in ruins.
Frantically, you gathered pieces, trying to fit them back together, but your shaking hands only made things worse. You were so focused on your desperate repair attempt that you didn’t hear the door open.
“Hey, what are you doing in—” Caleb’s voice cut off abruptly.
You looked up to see him staring at the broken model, he looked surprised but his gaze softened when your eyes met, and tears welled in yours as you held broken pieces in your trembling hands.
“I’m sorry…” you whispered, voice breaking. “I didn’t mean to—”
Before you could say more, he was on the floor beside you, pulling you on his lap, into a tight embrace. His arms were firm around you.
“Hey, hey, hey… it’s okay. It’s just a model,” he murmured against your hair, his voice steady and reassuring.
“But you worked so hard on it...”
He pulled back slightly, brushing tears from your face with a gentle thumb. His smile alone radiates comfort as he looks at you.
“Then we’ll build a new one together,” he said, pressing a kiss to your forehead. “And I bet we can make this one even better.” He looked down at the pieces scattered around you both. “Maybe add some modifications here and there, what do you think?”
His warm laughter finally broke through your guilt, and he held you close as if the broken model was the furthest thing from his mind.
Based on this request.

texting loser!ellie that you have nipple piercing in class 5
nerdy loser!ellie x popular mean fem!reader
bored in english, you reply to a girl named E you’ve been talking to on an anonymous gay dating app—without knowing it’s that lesbian nerd girl, ellie williams.
masterlist
“Bitch, you better be joking,” you muttered under your breath, still gripping the steering wheel as you stared wide-eyed at the massive colonial house in front of you.
Ellie raised an eyebrow, already halfway out of the car. “What?”
“You live here?” you blinked at her, completely dumbfounded. “I pass by this house every day. I thought some retired judge or old money CEO lived here. You’re telling me you live here?”
Ellie shut the car door behind her, slinging her backpack over one shoulder. “My grandparents own it,” she said, casual as ever, like the pillars on the porch and the ivy-draped brick weren’t screaming generational wealth.
You followed her up the path, still half in disbelief. “So like… you’re rich-rich?”
Ellie threw a look over her shoulder, half-smirking. “You said that like you’re not.”
“That’s not the point,” you shot back, stepping into the house like you were stepping into a dream. The air smelled like pinewood floors and something faintly floral—clean, expensive, and lived-in. “I loved this house. I’ve loved this house since I was, like, ten. I used to imagine living here.”
Ellie laughed, locking the door behind you. “Yeah? Guess you manifested this group project then.”
You spun slowly where you stood in the foyer, taking everything in. “Shut up. This is insane. I genuinely thought this place belonged to, like, a state senator.”
She shrugged. “Close enough. My grandma’s mean enough to be one.”
Ellie led the way upstairs, the steps solid beneath your feet, the bannister polished to a shine. You trailed behind her, eyes scanning every framed painting and antique light fixture like you were walking through a museum.
She pushed open a door near the end of the hallway and stepped aside. “Uh… make yourself at home, I guess,” she muttered, scratching the back of her neck.
You stepped inside and looked around, slow and curious. It was like walking into Ellie’s brain—quiet, thoughtful, full of little obsessions. The walls were painted a soft sage green that warmed in the late afternoon sun spilling through two wide windows, their white curtains swaying gently in the breeze from a cracked-open pane.
The room was spacious and organized but clearly lived in. A plush, cream-colored sofa sat beneath one of the windows, half-draped with a knitted throw. Nearby was a sleek study desk—minimal but well-used—covered with neat stacks of notebooks, a digital tablet, and a mechanical keyboard that softly glowed. A small but powerful PC setup occupied the far end of the desk, dual monitors angled just right, wallpaper rotating slowly through constellations and galaxies.
You turned slowly, letting your gaze settle on a tall glass cabinet against the far wall. Inside, dozens of small figurines stood in tidy rows—dinosaurs in different colors and sizes, some realistic, some clearly stylized. A few of them had tiny chips on their edges, signs of years of care and collecting rather than neglect. One had a bent tail that made you smile.
“I didn’t know you were this much of a dinosaur girl,” you said.
Ellie was at her closet, kicking off her sneakers. “I was obsessed for a while,” she mumbled.
You moved closer to a nearby shelf, lined with hardcovers—space encyclopedias, sci-fi novels, and what looked like Ellie’s old astronomy notebooks stacked in a row. A small solar system model sat at the end, its planets perfectly aligned. You gently tapped the base and watched them rotate, slow and precise.
“You’re, like… a full-blown space nerd.”
Ellie shrugged, half-smiling. “I like stars. And planets. And stuff.”
In the corner rested a black acoustic guitar on a mahogany stand, a patterned strap loosely draped over it. Next to it, under the windowsill, sat a low wooden crate filled with vinyl records, their covers carefully arranged. A small speaker setup stood nearby, connected to a vintage-looking turntable.
You smiled as you traced your finger along the edge of a record sleeve. “I didn’t expect this.”
Ellie raised a brow. “What’d you expect?”
You looked around again. “I don’t know.”
That made her smile, just a little. “You saying you’re impressed?”
You shrugged. “Maybe.”
You let your eyes roam one more time—across the sunlight on the hardwood floors, the cabinet of dinosaurs, the calm glow of her screen-saver, the way everything felt exactly like her—and then turned to her.
Still smiling, but with a slight shift in your tone. “Will you marry me someday, Ellie?”
Ellie blinked. A beat passed. Her brows pulled together in that way she had when she was trying to tell if you were serious.
“No.” She frowned softly.
You scoffed, placing a hand over your chest. “Ouch.”
Ellie cracked a smile, dropped her bag beside the bed, and flopped down onto the mattress like she was trying not to look at you. “You just want the house.”
“Obviously.” You sat at the edge of her bed, fingers brushing lightly over one of the velvet pillows. “I’d treat her so well.”
“She’s not a person.”
“She’ll be everything to me.”
Ellie glanced at you, shaking her head with a barely-there grin.
Working with Ellie for the past week had actually been… easy. Surprisingly easy, if you were being honest.
She’d disagree with your ideas sometimes—always with that slight squint of her eyes, arms crossed like she was mentally sorting through what she was about to say. But she always heard you out first. Every time. Even when she clearly thought your suggestion was insane. Especially when it was insane.
Except that one time you suggested writing the entire novel in second person, with multiple timelines and unreliable narrators. She didn’t even entertain that one. Just stared at you for a full three seconds before muttering, “God help me,” and going back to outlining the plot like she hadn’t heard you at all.
Aside from that, though, she was surprisingly agreeable. Focused. Quiet, unless she was explaining something or making a snarky comment. And incredibly easy to pick on.
You’d learned that by day two.
There was something about the way she always lined up her pens or re-highlighted things that were already highlighted—little habits that made it way too tempting to mess with her. Like when you started moving her bookmarks just an inch to the left every time she wasn’t looking.
She noticed. She always noticed.
“The hell is wrong with you?” she whispered once in the middle of class, narrowing her eyes as she fixed it for the third time that day.
You had just smiled sweetly. “Just keeping you on your toes.”
“You’re insufferable,” she muttered, and didn’t speak to you for the entire English class that followed, even though you sat directly beside her.
It kind of became your thing after that—poking just enough to get a reaction, then spending the rest of the day slowly earning her tolerance back.
Not that she ever seemed really mad. She’d roll her eyes, tell you to shut up, shove her sleeve over her mouth like she was hiding a smile. And by the time your next meeting rolled around, she’d be exactly the same again—pen in hand, posture stiff, pretending not to look at you first.
Ellie had barely set her laptop down before saying she was going to grab snacks.
“Be right back,” she mumbled, tugging her hoodie sleeves over her hands as she left the room.
You nodded, watching her disappear down the hallway.
The door clicked shut behind her, and the silence felt sudden. The occasional creak from the hallway. Afternoon light painting golden lines across the floorboards.
You pulled your phone from your pocket and tapped it awake.
Still nothing.
You opened your last conversation with E, thumb hovering over the screen.
you:
i kinda don’t want to have lunch today.. but i also haven’t had breakfast whatever
That was hours ago. And E hadn’t even left you on read—just nothing at all.
Your eyes scanned the rest of the thread—long, tired little chains of conversation that started somehow and never really ended. Late-night check-ins. Stupid memes in the morning. A “good luck” before class. Each photo you sent—whether it was your face half-buried in a hoodie, a thigh pic under your desk in class, or a cropped mirror shot angled just right to show your waist, the subtle curve of skin beneath your shirt—always got something back.
Sometimes even the ones where your top had slipped lower, nipples visible, the tiny glint of silver from your piercings catching in the light.
But it was the fics that really did it.
The smutty ones. The dog-eared AO3 screenshots, annotated with unhinged commentary, sent half-laughing, half-serious. “ok but imagine this is us?”
And she would bite. Every time.
“You’re sick for this.”
“You know exactly what you’re doing.”
“Jesus Christ.”
“I’m gonna dream about this tonight.”
She made it easy to keep wanting her. Easy to overshare. Easy to feel like you were wanted right back.
Talking to E had really become your favorite part of the day. A kind of warmth that reached into quiet parts of you no one else did. And it wasn’t even about what she said, always—it was just her. The feeling of being known by someone who didn’t ask for the clean version of you.
But sometimes, you notice the pattern.
The way she disappeared. Went quiet. Left just enough space between replies to make you feel like maybe you were doing too much.
Or not enough.
Something in her tone that made you reread it three times and still not be sure if she was pulling away or just tired.
You didn’t want to be the kind of person who obsessed over gray bubbles and silence. But here you were.
Thumb hovering again.
Typing. Deleting.
You locked the screen.
Ellie’s door opened a second later, followed by the rustle of a grocery bag and her voice—low, casual.
“Okay. I didn’t know what you wanted so I grabbed, like… every snack we had. And also a root beer I will probably not share.”
You turned in your seat, slipping your phone face-down onto the desk.
“That’s fair,” you said, smiling like nothing was stuck behind your teeth.
Ellie kicked the door shut behind her and dropped the snacks on the bed. “Also, if you eat all the cheddar popcorn, we’re done. That’s, like, the one boundary I have.”
You snorted. “Good to know you’re finally opening up.”
She raised a brow. “One time. One time I tell you I liked dinosaurs and you’re never letting it go.”
You grinned. “Never.”
You set your laptop on your lap, fingers hovering over the keys as you waited for it to wake. She’d claimed the sofa across from you, legs folded under her, root beer cracked open with a soft sound.
You glanced up for a second—just long enough to watch her sip it, the can tipped lazily to her lips, her focus already buried in the screen.
Your eyes flicked back to your phone, opening your conversation with E last night.
E:
i feel like you wear perfume just to ruin lives
you:
maybe i do. maybe i want your life ruined a little
E:
ok relax dark temptress
you:
say that again. slower
E:
shut up
you:
ur blushing
E:
i literally am
you:
i win
E:
i’m blocking you
you:
you always say that u never do it though ur obsessed
E:
it’s disgusting how right you are
A grin tugged at your lips before you could stop it.
Ellie glanced up briefly from her screen, root beer still in hand. “What.”
You shook your head quickly, too quick. “Nothing.”
She gave you a suspicious look. “You’re smiling like a creep.”
You tucked your phone under your thigh and lifted your laptop slightly. “No I’m not.”
“You are,” she said, dry. “If you start giggling and kicking your feet I’m unplugging the router.”
You snorted. “Let a girl have her delusions.”
Ellie rolled her eyes, but there was the faintest twitch at the corner of her mouth. She turned back to her laptop and tapped a few keys, half-muttering, “Insufferable.”
You didn’t respond.
Instead, you unlocked your phone again and snapped a quick pic of you, laptop on your legs, lips curved in the softest almost-smile. The light was warm and flattering. Your hair is a little messy.
you:
im at my classmate’s house rn 😗 working on a thing
You hit send and waited, thumb hovering over the screen just a little longer than necessary. Nothing yet.
Across from you, Ellie’s brows flicked up—so quick you almost missed it. She's looking at her laptop like she’d just gotten a notification. But she didn’t say anything. Didn’t look up. Just shifted slightly in her seat, set her root beer down, and kept typing.
So you went back to work too.
Or tried to.
You clicked into the doc, reread the last paragraph you wrote twice, pretended to focus. But your eyes kept drifting—screen, phone, screen again. The silence started to feel heavier.
You opened the chat again.
you:
i miss u :( wife
You didn’t mean to stare at it that long. But you did. You just… sat there, screen dimming, thumb tracing over the side of the phone.
You didn’t really notice you were zoning out until you sighed—long, quiet, maybe just loud enough for Ellie to hear. She didn’t say anything. But a few seconds later, she stood.
“I’m gonna go get something,” she said.
You looked up. “Okay,” you said, voice soft and low.
She grabbed her phone from the table before walking out.
You sat there for a moment, blinking. Feeling the quiet settle again, too deep this time. Hating the way the room suddenly felt too big.
Then—
A buzz.
You scrambled for your phone.
E:
i miss u too :( sorry just a bit busy with school stuff
The smile hit you before you could stop it.
you:
oh no don’t be sorry i totally understand hehe but don’t overwork yourself too much, okay? save some energy for me 🫶
You didn’t even look up when Ellie walked back in.
But if you had, you would’ve caught her pausing at the door—glancing over at you, then down at her screen, before moving again.
Like she wasn’t sure which part of her day she was more interested in.
You tried to focus on working again. Really, you did. Fingers moved over the keyboard, screen glowing softly, but your eyes kept drifting—just slightly—to your phone resting on the table. Still nothing new. Still sitting there, like it wasn’t driving you quietly insane.
Across from you, Ellie had settled further into the sofa, her posture loose now. Laptop resting on her legs, hoodie sleeves bunched around her wrists. Her fingers clicked quietly against the keyboard, jaw soft with focus, root beer can now abandoned beside her.
You glanced at her once—just once—before biting your bottom lip and reaching for your phone again.
you:
do u wanna see me again?
You stared at the message for a second longer than you should’ve. Felt the weight of it in your chest—hopeful and maybe a little reckless.
And then, without waiting for a reply, something tugged at your lips. An idea. The kind you didn’t bother talking yourself out of.
You stood, placing your laptop gently on the table.
“I’m gonna go use the bathroom,” you said, casual.
Ellie looked up, blinking like she hadn’t realized you’d moved. “Uh, sure—it’s just in the corner.” Her chin tilted toward the far end of the room, gesturing toward a white-painted door.
“Thanks.” You smiled, trying to keep it innocent, even as something smug curled under your words. You turned, walking off toward the door, heartbeat a little quicker now.
And behind you, you didn’t notice the way Ellie’s eyes followed you, lips caught gently between her teeth, wondering what exactly you were about to do.
You stepped into the bathroom and closed the door behind you, the soft click of the latch sounding louder in the stillness. The mirror greeted you with your own reflection—flushed cheeks, slightly messy hair, eyes too full of something unspoken.
You set your phone on the sink and stared at yourself for a moment, lips twitching at the corners. Then you started posing—hands on your waist, a little tilt of your head, a soft pout. You ran your fingers through your hair, gave the mirror a wink, then laughed under your breath.
Off came the blouse—baby pink, loose and soft—leaving you in a delicate lace bra that matched your skirt a little too well. You leaned on the sink, bit your lip, snapped a few mirror shots. Nothing too posed. Just enough.
A short clip followed—hair tousled, your hand brushing it back while you grinned at your own reflection. Just a second of warmth and soft vanity.
You selected your favorites and sent them.
you:
here’s for ur hard work today ;) hope u like it
Before heading out of the bathroom, you typed out one last message:
you:
i’m gonna go focus now on our work my partner’s gonna kill me for being on my phone too much talk to u later 💋💋
You slipped your phone into your pocket, still grinning. When you opened the door, the smile softened—for a moment you just frowned, noticing the room was empty.
Ellie wasn’t there. Her laptop sat open on the coffee table, casting a faint glow over the sofa cushions.
You crossed the room, then straightened, deciding to find her.
“Ellie?” you called, voice low. The hallway answered with silence. Sock-footed, you drifted past closed doors, the house somehow too quiet.
Downstairs, you hesitated at the landing, then turned toward the kitchen.
Ellie stood at the sink, hoodie tossed onto the nearby table. She was in a black tank top now, shoulders taut, biceps flexed slightly as she braced both hands on the edge of the basin. A glass of water rested beside her. She bowed her head, then lifted it toward the wide window, as though trying to breathe.
“Ellie?” you tried again, softer.
She startled, fingers closing around the glass—only for it to slip from her grip and crash to the tile, water splashing everywhere.
“Shit,” she hissed, crouching.
“Don’t—” You hurried forward. “Let me. You’ll cut yourself.”
She froze, still crouched, hands hovering above the shards before pulling back. She didn’t look at you—more like she couldn’t.
You grabbed a cloth, knelt, and gathered the larger pieces. Ellie straightened, leaning into the counter, gaze fixed on a spot far ahead.
Glass disposed of, puddle mopped up, you rose and turned toward her. Her cheeks were tinged pink, jaw tight.
“Sorry you had to do that,” she murmured, finally glancing your way.
“It’s fine,” you said, giving a small nod.
You lingered there a second longer, eyes drifting. Ellie still wasn’t looking at you—not really—but you couldn’t help but look at her. The way she was leaning into the counter, arms behind her, her black tank top clinging to the curve of her shoulders. Her arms were more toned than you expected. Defined in a way that caught the light when she shifted, muscles flexing under skin.
You didn’t raise your brows, didn’t let your face say anything, but the thought crept in anyway.
She’s kind of… hot.
You cleared your throat softly.
“You okay?” you asked gently. “If you’re not feeling well, we can stop for today.”
She exhaled shakily, finally looking at you again—really looking this time.
Her gaze lingered. And then her lips parted, like she was going to say something else. Instead, she bit down gently on her bottom lip, shook her head, and pushed off the counter to walk past you.
“I’m going crazy,” she muttered under her breath as she brushed by.
You frowned as you followed her.
“You’re so weird, dude,” you muttered.
Ellie didn’t respond. Still in her black tank top and grey sweatpants, she headed upstairs, shoulders tense. She plopped down on the sofa and pulled her laptop back onto her lap.
You followed her in and sat across from her again, settling your own laptop on your legs. But your eyes didn’t move to the screen just yet. They were on her.
She felt it.
After a few seconds, she finally asked—without looking up, voice too casual.
“What?”
You squinted slightly. “Nothing.”
Why was she suddenly being so weird?
You sighed and slid your laptop toward her, tilting the screen. “Read this.”
Ellie didn’t look at you. She just took it and started reading, her brows knitting together in concentration.
Her eyes scanned the text. Her lashes flicked. Her messy hair fell into her face again—she didn’t bother pushing it back. The scar above her eyebrow tugged faintly when she focused, and the line of freckles across her nose caught the light from the window beside her.
You stared a second too long.
And then looked away—too fast—like something in your chest stirred and you weren’t ready to name it.
You nodded toward the window, trying to ignore the flutter in your stomach.
“You ever use that to sneak out?”
“No,” Ellie said, still reading.
“Really? So you don’t sneak out at all?”
“Why would I sneak out?” she replied flatly.
You rolled your eyes. “Right.”
That got her to finally glance up. Brows raised.
You pulled your laptop back and placed it on your lap again. She shifted, eyes dropping back to her own screen.
“What?” she asked. “You’re suddenly interested in my social life now?”
You shrugged. “Just curious.”
You tried to go back to work. Tried. But your cursor blinked beneath a sentence that ended in the word kiss, and your mind trailed off again.
You glanced sideways at her.
“How about dating life?”
Ellie sighed, long and reluctant.
“Oh, come on,” you groaned. “I’m just making conversation. It’s awkward as hell in here.”
Still not looking at you, Ellie leaned back against the sofa, laptop balanced on her knees. “If you’re asking if I’m dating anyone, I’m not.”
You raised your brows. “Really?”
Then, after a beat—leaning in just slightly, eyes glinting—
“What’s your type, then?” you asked, tone casual, but your eyes didn’t leave her.
Ellie scoffed, still focused on her screen. “I hate it when you ask questions like that. It’s creepy.”
You rolled your eyes. “I asked what your type is, not if you believe in ghosts.”
She sighed like you were exhausting her, dragging her fingers across the trackpad. “I don’t know... but it’s definitely someone who isn’t as annoying as you.”
Your mouth fell open. “Fuck you. I’m not annoying. People literally beg to be around me.”
That earned a quiet scoff—like she remembered something, lips twitching faintly, her gaze still fixed on the screen. “Yeah, no. You’re a bitch.”
You raised your eyebrows. “Wow,” you muttered, like you were offended—but only a little. You stared at her for a second, then gave a small nod. “Fair.” You looked back down at your screen, typing a few lines just to give your hands something to do.
Then you turned back to her. Your voice was calm but edged with something else.
“If I’m that annoying, would you rather have someone else as your project partner?”
Ellie looked up, finally meeting your eyes, a flicker of amusement breaking through her guarded expression.
“Yes.”
You scoffed, rolling your eyes. “Rude.”
You shrugged, settling back in your seat.
“It’s fine. I just know no one else has both an imaginative mind and looks like me. So, your loss, really.”
Ellie hummed, nodding slowly, like she was pretending to be thoughtful.
“Imaginative mind, yeah,” she muttered, eyes still on her screen—but her jaw shifted a little like she was biting back something else. Her mind clearly somewhere else.
You narrowed your eyes. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Nothing,” she said, a little too quickly.
She didn’t look at you. She didn’t have to.
But she could still hear you in her head—your voice in those texts, the unhinged little messages from your secret account, the pictures burned somewhere behind her eyelids. And now you were just… here. Saying things like that. Still teasing. Still smiling. Still somehow not knowing.
She cleared her throat.
You smirked. “Weird.”
Ellie shot you a look. “You’re the weird one.”
You raised a brow, clearly not believing that. But you dropped it for now and just rolled your eyes.
The silence stretched again. Just the quiet sound of keys tapping, the occasional shift of weight on the cushions.
Then Ellie spoke—low, almost too casual.
“How about you?”
You blinked, glancing up. “What?”
Ellie didn’t look away from her screen.
“Your type,” she said. “What is it?”
Your brain stuttered. For a moment, you felt your whole internal system freeze and reboot.
“Oh,” you said, voice a little too light. “I mean…”
You leaned back slightly, trying to play it cool, your fingers toying with the corner of your laptop.
“I guess I like someone smart. Like… nerdy, maybe.” You swallowed. “Not, like, pocket protector-nerdy, just… brainy. Sarcastic. Kinda mean.”
It was stupidly obvious who you were thinking about. E. You were literally just describing her.
Ellie’s eyes flicked up at that. Just for a second. Then back to her screen.
You didn’t miss it.
You looked down quickly, suddenly shy, not even sure why. Saying it out loud had felt bolder than you meant for it to. Too revealing. Too… real.
Wait.
Your fingers stilled on your trackpad.
Did I just describe—?
You glanced sideways.
Ellie was quiet, still working, her jaw resting lightly on the back of her hand as she scrolled through the doc. Focused, casual, totally unreadable.
But—
She was definitely a nerd. That much was obvious.
And sarcastic? Always.
Kind of mean? Especially when you teased her. Or suggested something vaguely unhinged to add to the project.
Your eyes drifted to her hands. Sometimes you saw silver rings on her fingers, glinting when she reached for something or tapped her screen. But today, they were bare. Still, you recognized the way her knuckles tensed when she got too focused.
You glanced around the room again—the constellations on her wallpaper, the dinosaur display, the well-loved sci-fi books. Her hoodie still tossed on the table downstairs, abandoned after she came to the kitchen like something had knocked the breath out of her.
Could it be?
You felt your chest tighten at the thought.
No. You shut it down immediately.
It’s impossible.
You bit the inside of your cheek, turning back to your screen like it had all the answers.
Ellie wasn’t like that.
She wasn’t that type.
She wouldn’t be the kind to—
You shook your head, jaw tight.
Stop.
You weren’t going there.
You slumped deeper into the sofa, already getting your phone on the table
Maybe you were just bored. Or spiraling. Or looking for something you weren’t ready to find.
You opened E’s thread again. Still nothing since earlier. No “💋,” no typing bubble. No read receipt.
You chewed your bottom lip and typed anyway, nervous.
You:
wyd rn
Sent.
Your eyes lifted. Straight to Ellie.
Still perched on the couch, posture relaxed, laptop on her thighs. No shift in her expression. No glance your way. Just her fingers moving across the keyboard like she hadn’t even noticed your presence, let alone a text.
You swallowed. Something in your chest tugged—tightly. Not hope. Not exactly. Just dread.
Then your phone buzzed.
E:
ran out for a sec need to walk off this headache lol
You blinked. Looked up again.
Ellie didn’t move. Still typing. Still locked into whatever she was working on.
Then another buzz.
E:
[Image attachment]
It loaded slowly.
A blurry sidewalk. A lamppost. Empty curb. Gray light stretched thin across cracked pavement.
Your stomach twisted.
You glanced back at Ellie. No change. No tells. Still in the same exact spot, brows drawn in quiet focus.
So… not her.
Couldn’t be.
You let your shoulders relax, barely. A breath slipping out of you before you even realized you were holding it.
And yet—
Why did that feel like disappointment?
The thought didn’t even finish before another crashed in.
What if it had been her?
The idea alone sent a wave of heat and panic flooding up your spine. You tried to shove it down, but it lingered—rising anyway.
You thought about the photos you’d sent. The unfiltered, teasing messages. The fics. The way you flirted like it was a game, like it didn’t mean anything.
The idea that this girl across from you—Ellie, with her freckles and sharp tongue and dinosaur figurines—might’ve been on the receiving end of all of that?
Dread curled sharp in your chest. Embarrassment came right after—fast and bright and cloying. But beneath the dread, buried somewhere in the quiet crackle of your nerves, was something else.
Something you couldn’t name yet.
And that scared you most of all.
You unconsciously turned your attention back to your screen—anything to distract from the way your chest still felt tight.
But then your breath caught.
The document was… gone.
One second it was there, the cursor blinking like normal—and the next, just a blank screen. The title still at the top, autosave icon spinning, but no text. Not even a draft in the history.
“Fuck.”
No response.
You said it again, louder. “Fuck, fuck, fuck—”
Ellie looked up from her laptop, brows furrowing. “What happened?”
You angled your laptop slightly toward her, panic bubbling in your voice. “I don’t know—I didn’t touch anything. It just… disappeared.”
She didn’t answer. Just stood wordlessly and walked over.
You barely had time to scoot forward before she was behind you—standing at the back of the sofa, leaning over. One hand braced lightly against the cushion beside your shoulder, the other already sliding across the trackpad.
You froze.
Her face was close. Closer than it had ever been. You could smell her perfume again—clean and soft, with something sharp underneath. Something citrusy and grounding, like cedar and white musk.
You didn’t mean to look at her, but your eyes flicked sideways.
Her focus was locked on the screen, brows drawn, lips parted just slightly in concentration. Her fingers moved with quick, confident precision across the keys. Her head was tilted down, so close to yours you could feel the whisper of her breath against your cheek every now and then.
You didn’t move. Didn’t dare.
Your own mouth parted—just a bit. The warmth between you was suddenly too real. Too loud.
She didn’t seem to notice.
Her right hand stayed pressed behind you on the couch for balance, close enough to feel the heat of her knuckles. You were caught—body still, heart sprinting, stomach twisted in something you couldn’t quite name.
This was fine.
This was just Ellie fixing the doc.
Except…
Except your mind wasn’t on the laptop anymore.
It was on the curve of her shoulder, the quiet sound of her breathing, the way she looked from this close—freckles soft across her cheek, scar curling slightly over her brow, lashes lowering as she focused.
“It’s fixed,” Ellie said simply, tapping a few final keys before standing like she hadn’t just made your heart try to break through your ribcage—and went back to her spot on the opposite sofa, resuming her quiet focus like nothing happened.
You just sat there.
Staring.
Your screen glowed in front of you, but your eyes didn’t register anything. Your heartbeat was still racing—loud, fast, confusing. You pressed your palm lightly to your chest, like you could calm it down through sheer will.
Damn it.
You only felt like this when E texted you something flirty. When she said your name in lowercase followed by a period.
So why the hell were you feeling it now?
You looked over at Ellie again, who was already typing like nothing happened. No trace of what just passed between you. No sign she noticed how close she'd gotten. How soft her voice had been. How her perfume still clung faintly to your nostrils softly.
What is happening to me?
You blinked and looked away.
Just as your heart finally started to settle, Ellie’s voice cut through the silence—calm, a little smug.
“You know, for a one-page document, you really freaked the hell out.”
You turned your head slowly, squinting at her. “It was deleting itself.”
She raised a brow, fingers still tapping away. “Mm-hm.”
You rolled your eyes, shifting your laptop back onto your lap. “Don’t worry. I’ll finish this at home and send it to you immediately, boss.”
Ellie looked up, deadpan. “Yeah, I doubt you’ll actually do that.”
You gasped, mock-offended. “What do you mean? I study at home. Like… all the time.”
She raised an eyebrow. “You don’t have to lie to me.”
You opened your mouth, then closed it.
Because okay, she wasn’t wrong. You did spend most of your time after class texting E. Not exactly studious behavior. But she didn’t know that.
Right?
You rolled your eyes, recovering. “Oh, right. Sorry. I forgot you’d rather have someone else do this project with you anyway.”
Ellie let out a short laugh, shaking her head with a smirk. “Yeah,” Ellie said, dry. “Someone who doesn’t scream bloody murder when their laptop hiccups.”
You glared. “I didn’t scream.”
“You said fuck three times,” she replied, raising an eyebrow.
Something about the way she said it—calm, flat, unbothered—made heat crawl up your neck.
Why the hell did that sound hot?
It was just a word. One you said. But hearing her say it, with that voice, that look—
You blinked hard and looked away.
No. Nope. Absolutely not.
You were losing it.
You sighed as you slipped your laptop into your bag. So many things happened today. Well—not many, technically. You just spent it with Ellie. But still.
Why are you feeling like this?
Why did her fixing your document feel… hot? Why did the way she leaned in nearly knock the air out of your lungs? Why is she the one making your heart feel like it’s skipping steps?
Is it because the thought of her being E crossed your mind?
You glanced over.
Ellie was quietly gathering the snack wrappers, her back turned as she picked up the root beer can and half-eaten popcorn bag to bring them downstairs. The curve of her arm flexed slightly as she lifted the snacks, her black tank top hugging her back just enough to make your thoughts spiral all over again.
Her sweatpants hung low on her hips. Her shoulders were strong. Her posture effortless.
Fuck.
You needed to go home. You needed to get away from her.
I don’t like her.
You repeated that to yourself like it might cancel out whatever was happening in your chest.
When Ellie stepped out of the room, you nearly exhaled in relief.
The second the door clicked shut, the air felt easier to breathe. Like the heat that had been crawling up your neck finally backed off.
You grabbed your bag and headed downstairs. The sun was long gone, sky outside bruised and dark. You weren’t even planning on saying goodbye—just a quick escape.
But as you reached the foyer, she reappeared from the kitchen.
“Uh,” she started. “Can I ride with you? I just need to stop by the store.”
You froze for half a second.
“Uh… yeah,” you said, even though you absolutely did not want to.
“Great,” you muttered under your breath.
You stepped out into the night air, crossing her driveway toward your car as Ellie trailed a few steps behind you.
And even with all this distance, you still felt the press of her in your thoughts.
You drove with one hand on the wheel, eyes straight ahead. Ellie sat beside you, quiet. The car filled with nothing but the hum of the engine and the occasional shuffle when you turned.
On a normal day, you might’ve said something dumb by now. Something teasing or annoying. You’d poke fun at her playlist, or ask if she really believed Pluto shouldn’t be a planet. She’d groan. You’d grin.
But not tonight.
Not after… everything.
The silence settled too comfortably between you both. Heavy. Stifling.
She pointed when you reached the street corner. “There,” she said softly.
You pulled over by the small convenience store, the red glow of its sign washing over the dashboard.
She got out after muttering a simple “thank you,” the car door clicking gently shut. Still in that black tank top. Still completely unaware of what she was doing to your brain.
You watched her walk up the short curb. Then your gaze flicked to the two girls standing outside near the vending machine. One of them nudged the other. Laughed under her breath. Their heads turned.
Staring at Ellie.
Your fingers curled around the steering wheel, knuckles whitening just slightly.
They were checking her out. Of course they were. She looked like that.
You swallowed, jaw tight.
Why does it piss me off that they get to see her like that?
You blinked hard and shifted in your seat, willing yourself to breathe through your nose. Your foot tapped lightly against the gas pedal, like your body was ready to drive away before your mind gave permission.
But you didn’t.
You just sat there, staring out the windshield. Telling yourself not to care. Not to feel anything.
You need to talk to E.
You need to remember who you like.
You need to get a grip.

smoke and stack come into the shop looking for bo chow only to find y/n at front desk and bo chow discreetly under her hehe
anon i love the way u think! one eater chow blurb coming right up :3
your hair was a mess, curls sticking up through every end and frizz spiking through its texture.
lips parted letting strings of whines as your husband was kneeled down in front of you, tongue lapping slow stripes against your slit.
the day was slow, only usual customers coming in and barely even meeting you at the counter.
bo thought he could use it to his advantage, missing the taste of your every aspect against his lips.
forearms holding you up against the counter, legs trembling from behind it as you hid moans between your lips.
“b— bo… someone’s comin’.” you gasped out, nails digging into the edge of the counter as he started to suck against your clit, knees buckling beneath your dress the more he continued.
he was humming in content, devouring you with full lips, his entire upper body hid by the fullness of your skirt.
your hand quickly covered a moan trying to escape your mouth as two men stepped through the doors, the jingle of the bell alerting you back to reality.
they walked sternly towards the counter, they were broad and a lot taller than you, staring down at you as they stood a respectable distance from the counter.
you swallowed dryly, the extra bodies in the room seeming to not stop bo at all.
“h— good evenin’, how ca— can i help ya?” a chirpy yet cracked voice, as if a moan was threatening to escape past your words.
the twin wearing red sort of just stood there, staring around the market curiously.
the other man, wearing blue, stared for a moment before he opened his mouth to speak.
“we mean no harm, missus, jus’ lookin’ for bo chow.” he spoke to you and his voice was low, gruttal, but he looked like he meant business, intimidating you for just a moment.
“is he here?”
only for a moment did you almost forget about the sensation between your legs.
and just as you thought, bo was not about to let you go through this without a fight.
before you spoke up, you felt a digit teasing your entrance, and as you were opening your mouth to speak, he was shoving it inside of you. knuckles deep.
“he’s— oh!” you perked up, gasping and quickly slapping your hand against your mouth.
you stared up at the two men, eyes wide as if even you were shocked at the noise you just made.
they both just looked at you with an insane amount of concern in their eyes.
you held a finger up, signaling them to give you a second as you swallowed dryly. clearing your throat.
when you tried speaking up again, all you did was choke up. so you decided to just expect your fate.
shaking your head ‘no’, and they seemed to get the hint.
one of them slowly nodded, a cocked up brow as if he was trying to figure out what the hell was happening.
“well. in that case, tell ‘im smoke needs t’ talk to ‘im.” with one last nod, as if to say ‘thank you’, he and his twin walked out the clear doors.
when their figures discarded out the stores line of view, you slammed your forehead against the countertop, letting out all the choked moans you’ve been trying to hide.
your hands grabbed at whatever was near, lips parted as bo started to fuck you with his fingers, plunging an extra one inside.
his tongue didn’t stop, and your hips started to rut against his face, your clit bumping against his nose, adding onto the pleasure.
he somehow managed to fit two digits knuckles deep inside of you, curling them against the plush of your walls.
that was it. he hit a familiar spot and you came undone against his lips.
your moans were unhinged and loud, legs feeling weak and knees practically giving out.
bo let you ride out your orgasm against him, letting you come down from your star-seeing peak.
one last moan of his name and a string of curses, your upper body became slack against the counter.
he appeared in front of you at some point that you couldn’t recollect because of the state of euphoria the orgasm had you in.
you managed to pick yourself back up, eyes meeting with a very proud bo chow.
his lips were glistening, eyes low and full of nothing but lust.
the look of frustration on your face made him chuckle, his hand reaching to your lower back in order to hold you close.
“did s’good, darlin’. taste j’s as good.” he murmured against your mouth, pressing his lips with yours.
lewdly tasting yourself momentarily. you still had a brain of putty, melting into the kiss as easy as ever.
“‘m give it to ya s’good tonigh’. my pretty lil’ wife.” he hummed as he broke off the kiss, hands grabbing at your ass through the dress, somehow simultaneously pulling you closer.
his words and actions screwed a quiet giggle out of you, fingers curling around his suspenders.
“i’d like that. maybe.” you teased, staring at your fingers as they played with the suspenders then back up into his eyes.
his head tilted a bit, grinning against your mouth again. “yeah? tha’s what ya want, peach?” before you could even respond, he was kissing you again.
this time with more fever, a hand grabbing beneath your knee to hold your leg against his side while he devoured your lips.
this is exactly what life was about.
a sexy husband who loved everything about you,
and that's exactly who bo chow was.

✩ˎˊ˗ when fate calls ( psh ! )
✩ˎˊ˗ part of the untouchable series | enhypen masterlist
⤷ pairing — sunghoon x fem!reader
⤷ word count— 20.6k ⤷ taglist for the series — open !
⤷ warnings — a/b/o au, foul language, slowburn, enemies to lovers trope, mentions of drinking and alcohol, heavy angst + tooth-rotting fluff, indenial!sunghoon, mentions of the other parts from this series, not proofread
✩ˎˊ˗ summary — as the eldest son of a powerful family, park sunghoon has always followed tradition, dedicating himself to his responsibilities. relationships never crossed his mind, his focus was on the life carefully planned for him. but then there was you, someone he had seen countless times yet never truly noticed until now. when realization dawned on him that you were his mate, it unsettled him in ways he couldn’t explain. it unsettled him in ways he couldn’t explain. the unexpeced idea of love terrified him, so he rejected the traditional courting that came with claiming an omega. but as his avoidance hurts you, the high and mighty alpha is forced to confront the truth he’s been running from: some things aren’t meant to be planned.
Park Sunghoon stared at the untouched coffee sitting on the edge of his desk, its heat long gone, leaving behind an aroma that lingered in the air. The clock on the wall ticked softly, mocking him with its glowing digits, 3:14 A.M. He was supposed to be asleep hours ago, but here he was, hunched over stacks of neatly organized paperwork. His bedroom, once a place of rest, now served as an office.
As the eldest, it wasn’t just expected of him to succeed, it was demanded. Every report and signature carried the weight of the Park name. Sunghoon leaned back in his chair, his head tilting toward the ceiling, eyes heavy with exhaustion.
The faint ache in his temples grew sharper, but he ignored it, just as he ignored the way his inner Alpha growled in frustration. "You’re supposed to take care of yourself—for her," it growled. "How will you protect an Omega if you can’t even do this much?"
His jaw clenched as he let out a quiet scoff. “There is no Omega,” he muttered under his breath, as if saying it aloud would somehow silence the voice.
The thought of having a mate, someone who would rely on him, only added to his frustration. He was already drowning in expectations, chained to a life that had no room for distractions, let alone love.
but his inner alpha didn’t back down, the primal side of him rebelling against his neglect. it clawed at him, not with anger, but with frustration, urging him to stop, to rest, to breathe.
sunghoon shut his eyes briefly, a bitter laugh slipping out as he rubbed the back of his neck. the idea of prioritizing himself, of prioritizing someone else in the future, felt absurd. he didn’t have time to indulge in instincts or fantasies, not when there was a legacy to uphold.
he opened his eyes, his gaze falling to the cold coffee cup, his reflection faintly visible in the dark liquid. the alpha in him stirred again, growling low and dissatisfied, but this time sunghoon ignored it entirely. with a sharp sigh, sunghoon pushed the cup aside, the clock’s ticking growing louder in the silence. the hours dwindled, and morning was creeping closer, but he knew sleep wasn’t an option.
there was work to be done, and park sunghoon never left anything unfinished.
Sunghoon ran a tired hand down his face, sighing as his bloodshot eyes scanned the even larger pile of paperwork that greeted him. As the student council’s marketing director, his responsibilities seemed endless, and the fluorescent light overhead only made the mess on his desk look worse.
It was 6 A.M., and he was the first in the council room. Of course he was. He had made it a habit to arrive early, more out of necessity than enthusiasm.
A brief pang of guilt crossed his mind as he remembered his sister. He hadn’t been able to wait for her like he usually did, leaving the house before dawn without a word. “I’ll have to apologize later,” he muttered to himself, though the corners of his lips twitched upward in a humorless smirk.
Knowing his sister, she was probably already in Sunoo’s car by now, laughing about something with the Alpha. It didn’t help that Sunoo wasn’t just his best friend. The boy with the pink hair was also her Alpha, a relationship that Sunghoon had begrudgingly accepted but couldn’t help but feel protective about.
The thought made him snort under his breath. Of course, she’d be fine; Sunoo never missed an opportunity to step in, no matter how early it was.
The sound of the heavy, wooden doors swinging open pulled him from his thoughts. Jay walked in first, his tie already loose and his uniform jacket slung over his shoulder. The Alpha paused mid-step, his eyes narrowing as he took in Sunghoon’s slouched posture.
“Dude, you look like shit,” Jay said bluntly, tossing his bag on his own desk.
Sunghoon didn’t bother looking up. “Good morning to you too,” he replied dryly, his voice as flat as his expression.
Jake followed close behind, a half-eaten breakfast sandwich in hand. He took one look at Sunghoon and immediately stopped chewing. “Holy shit, did you even sleep?” Jake asked, his tone laced with disbelief. He gestured vaguely at Sunghoon’s face. “You look like a ghost.”
“Thanks,” Sunghoon deadpanned, leaning back in his chair as he crossed his arms. “Really needed to hear that.”
Jay snorted, leaning against his table. “You know, for someone who’s supposed to be a pureblooded, strong Alpha, you’re doing a great job of looking half-dead.”
Sunghoon gave them both a sharp glare but didn’t have the energy to retort. Instead, he pinched the bridge of his nose, groaning at the headache that was forming. “I’m fine,” he muttered, though the dark circles under his eyes said otherwise.
“Yeah, sure,” Jay quipped, grabbing a stack of paperwork that was messily sitting on top of his table. “Keep telling yourself that, man.”
Jake raised an eyebrow, still looking skeptical. “You’re not going to drop dead on us, right? Because I’m not carrying your heavy ass to the nurse’s office.”
“I’m fine,” Sunghoon repeated, though even he wasn’t convinced by the words.
Jay exchanged a look with Jake, both Alphas sharing a sigh before Jay set his own paperwork down on the desk once again. “You know, if you die,” Jay began with a mocking grin, his tone more teasing than serious, “you do realize you’re going to leave all of this on your sister’s shoulders, right? She’ll probably curse your name for eternity.”
“Or possibly your mate,” Jake chimed in, his voice casual as he gestured toward Sunghoon. “You know, the one you’re supposed to be taking care of in the future by not working yourself into an early grave?”
Sunghoon stiffened at the mention of a mate, his jaw tightening. He hated when they brought it up, and Jake knew it. “I don’t have a mate,” he said coldly, his gaze darkening as he turned to the next set of papers.
Jay opened his mouth to add another comment, but before he could speak, a new voice cut through the room.
“Yeah, as if,” Heeseung’s voice drawled from the doorway, his tone laced with amusement.
He was leaning casually on the wooden door frame, arms crossed as he looked at Sunghoon. “He runs away from any Omega he sees. Poor guy probably wouldn’t know what to do if his mate actually showed up.”
Jake snorted, leaning on his own desk as he tossed his sandwich wrapper into the trash. “He’d probably pass out on the spot,” he added with a grin.
“Or just bury himself in more paperwork,” Jay said, shaking his head. “Honestly, Sunghoon, you’re making all of us pureblooded Alphas look bad.”
Sunghoon glared at the three of them, his annoyance visible. “If you’re all done wasting my time, I have work to do,” he muttered, his voice sharp as he pointedly ignored the way Heeseung’s comment bothered him more than it should.
But Heeseung wasn’t finished. “You know, it’s funny,” he mused, a small smirk tugging at his lips. “For someone so obsessed with rules and traditions, you’re awfully quick to ignore the most important one.”
“I have no time for this,” Sunghoon snapped, his tone colder now, though the way his pen stilled in his hand betrayed his frustration. His eyes stayed glued to the paperwork in front of him, refusing to meet Heeseung’s knowing gaze.
“No time for what?” the older Alpha challenged, his voice calm but laced with amusement. He stepped further into the room, his smirk deepening as he leaned casually against the side of his desk. “No time for the idea of a mate? No time for the Omega who’s meant to balance out that storm in your head? Or is it just no time for things you can’t control?”
“I said, drop it,” Sunghoon growled, his Alpha instincts flashing briefly in his tone as he clenched his jaw. His fingers gripped the pen so tightly it looked like it might snap in his hand.
Heeseung raised an eyebrow but didn’t back down. “I’m just saying,” he continued, his tone now more neutral, “if you keep running from it, you’re only going to make it worse. You think ignoring it will keep things normal the way you want it to?”
Sunghoon’s chest rose and fell as he took a deep breath, his irritation now mixed with something deeper, something he didn’t want to acknowledge.
He glanced briefly at the clock, as if that would give him an escape, before returning to his work. “I don’t run from anything,” he said quietly.
Heeseung’s scent spiked up then, as if challenging Sunghoon. The sharp scent of coffee and leather surrounding Sunghoon spiked in response, tension building between the two pureblooded Alphas as the room seemed to pulse with an unspoken challenge.
But Heeseung tilted his head, studying Sunghoon for a moment. “Whatever you say,” he said finally, his smirk softening into a faint smile.
“But don’t come crying to us when it all catches up to you.” With that, he pushed off the desk, casually moving the placard on his own desk that read Vice President, Lee Heeseung, sliding it to the side as he stood up, making it clear that he wasn’t going to stay much longer.
Heeseung strode toward the door, hands casually shoved into his pockets, his movements deliberate but effortless. Just before he left, he threw a glance over his shoulder at Sunghoon. “See you later, Park,” he called, his voice light but carrying an unmistakable edge.
“I mean, he had a point,” came a new voice from the doorway, breaking the silence. Their gaze snapped up, and Sunghoon saw Sunoo leaning casually against the frame, his usual carefree demeanor somehow at odds with the tense atmosphere.
The pink-haired Alpha’s arm was slung over his sister’s shoulder, and despite the casualness of the gesture, Sunghoon couldn’t help but feel annoyed at the sight of it. Sunoo didn’t drop his arm but instead moved it to hold her hand, intertwining their fingers as if marking his claim on her.
Sunghoon clenched his jaw, his eyes narrowing as he watched them. “Right, you’re mated to my sister,” he said, the words coming out almost like a warning as his gaze flicked from Sunoo to his sister.
Sunoo grinned, unfazed by the glare. “Yeah, well, we did kind of notice you were a little… tense. Thought we'd come and check on you.”
“How long have you two been standing there?” Sunghoon asked, his voice laced with a hint of exhaustion. His patience was already running thin after the exchange with Heeseung, and now this.
Sunoo shrugged, his smile widening as he stepped further into the room, his mate right beside him. “Long enough to hear your conversation,” Sunoo replied, his voice light.
“And to know you’re not fooling anyone,” Sunghoon's sister added, her tone teasing but with a hint of seriousness. “Not even your inner Alpha, by the way.” She shrugged, as if the comment was an afterthought, but it hit right where it mattered.
Sunghoon glared at them both, irritation flashing in his eyes. He wanted to deny it, to brush it off as just another conversation about his future, but deep down, he knew they were right.
The hallway seemed to clear instinctively as the student council made their way through. A group of powerful pureblooded Alphas, they carried themselves with the kind of confidence and authority that left no room for doubt about their status.
Ni-ki, ever energetic, walked in front, his eyes filled with curiosity as he turned to Jake. “So, about the proposals under the secretary committee…” he began, his voice full of interest. “Do you think there’s anything the public relations committee can help with?” Ni-ki’s gaze flickered to Jake's tablet, whose fingers were drumming absently on the screen.
Jake looked up from the screen, considering the question for a moment. “You guys could help with the promotions. We need the best PR support for this one.”
“Right,” Ni-ki nodded, clearly processing the info. “I’ll talk to them about the promotions then. We’ll get it done.”
Meanwhile, Heeseung and Jungwon were having their own little debate, their voices rising in the back as they argued about something entirely unrelated to council work. “I’m telling you, that new pheromone perfume? It’s garbage. They’re marketing it like it’ll solve everything,” Heeseung said, shaking his head.
Jungwon chuckled, shaking his head. “Garbage or not, some Betas are eating it up. You can’t deny it’s working.”
Heeseung rolled his eyes. “Yeah, keep telling yourself that.”
Trailing just a step behind, Sunoo and Jay passed a football between them, their movements smooth and practiced. “Why are they always like this?” Sunoo muttered, his gaze flickering to the pair ahead.
Jay shrugged, catching the ball effortlessly before tossing it back. “It’s entertaining. Besides, this is tame for them.”
Sunghoon, walking a bit apart from the group, scrolled through his tablet with furrowed brows. His father had sent over another set of files, and while he was used to the constant influx of work, it didn’t make it any less exhausting.
“Seriously, Jungwon, you’re impossible,” Heeseung muttered, shaking his head as he dodged Jungwon’s attempt to nudge him.
“Not like you have a choice,” Jungwon teased, flashing a mischievous grin.
Behind them, Sunoo caught the football mid-air and smirked. “I bet Heeseung’s just mad because Jungwon actually has a point for once.”
Jay chuckled. “Don’t push it. You know how he gets when he’s losing.”
Their banter continued, but Sunghoon remained in his own bubble, his fingers scrolling mechanically over the screen. That was until a familiar voice called out.
“Jake!”
The group collectively slowed, all their attention flicking to you as you approached. Jake stopped in his tracks, lowering his tablet to meet your gaze.
“Hey,” you said, slightly out of breath. “I need your help with something.”
Jake’s brows furrowed slightly. “What’s up?”
You handed him your tablet. “It’s about the proposal breakdown you sent. The third column—again, it’s all messed up, and I can’t figure out why.”
Jake blinked and then laughed softly, shaking his head. “That thing’s cursed.”
You groaned. “Please tell me you can fix it.”
“Of course.” Jake started tapping on your screen, walking alongside you as he explained the error. You nodded along, grateful for his patience.
Behind you, Sunoo and Jay exchanged a glance, their conversation fading as they tuned into yours. Sunoo tossed the ball back absently. “They’re a bit too comfortable, don’t you think?”
Jay smirked faintly, his tone teasing but light. “Maybe Jake’s just that charming.”
Sunghoon’s jaw tightened, his fingers pausing on the screen as he forced himself not to glance in your direction. Something about the way you walked so effortlessly into their group, completely unfazed, grated on his nerves. His inner Alpha stirred, but he pushed the feeling down.
Jungwon, noticing the way Sunghoon’s scent subtly shifted, leaned toward Heeseung. “You smell that?” he whispered, a sly grin forming.
Heeseung, ever the observant one, smirked knowingly. “Oh, I smell it alright.”
Sunghoon’s eyes flicked up briefly, landing on you and Jake. He quickly looked back down at his tablet, though the irritation bubbling under the surface didn’t fade.
“You good, man?” Jay called out, the football now tucked under his arm.
“I’m fine,” Sunghoon muttered, his voice clipped.
“Yeah, just approach me whenever you need help with that,” Jake said, his tone casual as he handed your tablet back. A small, easy smile tugged at the corners of his lips, the kind that made it impossible to feel tense around him.
You mirrored his smile, genuinely grateful. “Thanks, Jake. I’ll let you know if anything else comes up.”
Turning your attention to Ni-ki, who was walking just slightly ahead, you called out, “Oh, and Ni-ki, I already mentioned the pending tasks to Jake earlier. I think some members of the secretary committee might be able to lend a hand if you’re short on people for logistics.”
Ni-ki glanced back at you, surprised but clearly impressed. “Really? That’d be a huge help. Thanks, (Y/N).”
So you were close to Ni-ki too? Sunghoon’s grip on his tablet tightened slightly, his jaw ticking as he skimmed the lines of text that no longer registered. His focus wasn’t on the files his father had sent him anymore; it was on you. You were supposed to be under Jake’s committee, and yet here you were, chatting easily with Ni-ki like you belonged in every conversation.
Jake noticed the subtle exchange and shook his head with a playful scoff. “You’re getting way too independent for my liking, Nishimura,” he teased, shooting the youngest Alpha a pointed look. “You’re consulting (Y/N) without even running it by me first? Seriously?”
Ni-ki smirked, unfazed by Jake’s mock scolding. “(Y/N)’s good at this stuff. Besides, teamwork, right?” He threw Jake’s own words back at him, grinning.
You laughed, shaking your head at their banter. “Don’t worry, Jake. You’re still the boss. Ni-ki just wanted to cover his bases, and I figured it couldn’t hurt to get a head start.”
“See?” Ni-ki said, raising a brow at Jake. “Efficiency. Maybe you should try it sometime.”
Before Jake could retort, Sunghoon cleared his throat, a sharp sound that cut through the light-hearted conversation like a blade. Everyone stopped talking almost instantly, turning their attention toward him.
“My next class is just around this corner,” Sunghoon said, his voice calm but clipped, as if he wasn’t in the mood to entertain any further distractions.
His gaze briefly flickered to you, unreadable yet heavy, before he shifted his attention back to the tablet in his hands. Without another word, he began walking ahead, leaving the group behind.
Jay and Sunoo exchanged glances, the teasing smirks they’d been wearing moments ago replaced by something more knowing. Sunoo raised an eyebrow at Jay, who shrugged, a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.
“Interesting,” Jay muttered under his breath, loud enough for Sunoo to hear but quiet enough to avoid catching Sunghoon’s attention.
Sunoo nodded slightly, his lips twitching in amusement as he leaned closer to Jay. “Very interesting.”
You, oblivious to the subtle exchange between the two Alphas, kept walking alongside Jake, still completely engrossed in the conversation. “Anyway, just let me know if there’s anything else I can help with. I don’t want to overstep, but I figured I might as well be useful where I can.”
Jake chuckled, his laid-back demeanor putting you at ease. “Overstep? You? Nah, you’re just making my job easier. Keep it up, (Y/N).”
Meanwhile, Sunghoon, now a few steps ahead of the group, tried to keep his focus on the files displayed on his tablet. But no matter how hard he tried, his thoughts kept drifting back to you—walking too close to Jake, smiling too easily at his jokes, and being too comfortable in a group of Alphas where Sunghoon felt like you stood out the most.
His inner Alpha stirred uneasily, frustrated and annoyed at the pull you had over him. He hated how it made him feel, how he couldn’t seem to control the way his senses sharpened whenever you were nearby. His scent of coffee and leather spiked faintly as he clenched his jaw, pushing the feelings down as best he could.
Heeseung, noticing the slight change in Sunghoon’s posture and scent, smirked to himself but didn’t say a word. Jungwon, however, nudged Heeseung with his elbow, his expression smug.
“Called it,” Jungwon whispered, earning a chuckle from Heeseung.
You, still entirely unaware of the tension you were unknowingly creating, glanced toward Sunghoon’s retreating figure for a moment, a small frown of curiosity crossing your face before you turned back to Jake. “Do you think he’s okay?” you asked, your voice tinged with concern.
Jake glanced ahead, following your gaze to where Sunghoon had disappeared around the corner. “He’s fine,” he replied, though there was a knowing edge to his tone. “He just takes things a little too seriously sometimes. Don’t worry about him.”
But you did. You couldn’t help it.
And neither could Sunghoon.
The classroom buzzed faintly with the low hum of people talking and the scratching of pens on paper. Sunghoon sat by the window, his tablet propped up in front of him, displaying spreadsheets and documents his father had sent over earlier, but his eyes weren’t on them. Instead, they were fixed on the gray sky outside, his thoughts wandering far from budget allocations and meeting agendas.
You.
You’d been on his mind since lunch, and no matter how much he tried to push the thought of you away, it kept resurfacing and demanding his attention. You’d always been around, working under Jake in the secretary committee. He knew you, he had seen you countless times in meetings and events.
But you’d never lingered in his thoughts before. So why now? Why did the sight of you walking beside Jake earlier make something in his chest tighten uncomfortably?
The faintest hint of honey and lilac lingered in his memory, soft but intoxicating. He swore he could still smell it even now, though he knew it was impossible. Your scent—it clung to his thoughts.
His jaw clenched, and his brows furrowed as he tapped his pen against the desk. He didn’t understand it. There was something about you that had his Alpha instincts stirring, clawing at the edges of his mind. His wolf, a part of him he usually kept tightly controlled, was restless.
“Mr. Park,” his professor’s voice cut through his thoughts.
Sunghoon blinked, snapping his gaze toward the front of the room. The professor was staring at him, waiting for an answer to a question he hadn’t heard.
For a moment, the room seemed to hold its breath, his classmates glancing between him and the professor. But then Sunghoon straightened in his seat, his expression calm as he answered, “The proposed budget allocation for next semester’s extracurricular activities needs to account for inflation trends. That’s why the margin was adjusted to five percent.”
The professor raised a brow, nodding approvingly. “Correct, Mr. Park. As expected.”
Sunghoon’s classmates exchanged looks, some impressed, others annoyed, but he ignored them. His body was here, in this classroom, answering questions and keeping up appearances, but his mind? His mind was with you.
The bell rang, snapping him out of his thoughts. He packed his things quickly, stepping out into the hallway where Jungwon was waiting for him, leaning casually against the wall.
“Took you long enough,” Jungwon teased, stepping beside him as they walked toward their next meeting.
Sunghoon didn’t answer immediately, his thoughts still tangled. Jungwon glanced at him, his brows furrowing slightly. “You good?”
“Fine,” Sunghoon muttered, his tone clipped.
They turned a corner, and Sunghoon’s steps halted for just a moment. There you were, standing a few feet away, chatting with Jungwon and Sunoo’s mates. You nodded at something one of them said, a small smile gracing your lips as you gestured excitedly with your hands.
Sunghoon’s chest tightened again, that unfamiliar feeling stirring in the pit of his stomach. His wolf bristled, the instinctive urge to step closer, to claim what was his. But he shoved it down, locking it away behind the mask of indifference he’d perfected over the years.
You glanced up, your eyes meeting his briefly. Without saying anything, you gave Jungwon a small nod, silently acknowledging him. Sunghoon caught the faint smile you sent his way before your attention returned to the conversation in front of you.
“Looks like we’re all heading to the same place,” Jungwon said lightly, his tone casual as he nudged Sunghoon forward.
Sunghoon didn’t respond, his grip tightening around his backpack strap as he forced himself to move. You were close, too close. He could hear your laugh, soft and full of life, as you spoke to Sunoo’s mate. He could smell your scent, and it made his inner Alpha agitated.
He didn’t like this.
Didn’t like how his instincts reacted to you.
Didn’t like the way his thoughts strayed toward you when he had more important things to focus on.
Didn’t like how his body seemed to recognize something his mind refused to.
Heeseung and Jay passed by, still caught up in their conversation, but Heeseung sent him a knowing glance. Not fully understanding, but suspecting something.
Sunghoon shut it all out—he had no time for love, no time for whatever this was.
Without another word, he walked past you, through the council room doors, and forced himself to bury whatever this feeling was before it could take root.
You hesitated for a moment, watching Sunghoon as he disappeared into the meeting room without sparing you another glance. It wasn’t the first time he’d brushed past you like that, but something about today felt different. The way his shoulders tensed, the way his gaze hardened the second he saw you—it was like you were a problem he didn’t have time for.
And you didn’t understand why.
Sunoo’s mate, who just so happened to be Sunghoon’s younger sister, sighed beside you, her voice low as she leaned in. “Don’t bother,” she murmured, arms crossing as she watched her brother’s retreating figure. “He’s always like that.”
But was he? Because despite her words, you had a gnawing feeling that the way Sunghoon treated you was different. Like there was something beneath his cold exterior, something you couldn’t quite understand.
You were still lost in thought when Ni-ki slid into the seat next to you. His presence was casual, but his sharp eyes missed nothing.
He nudged you lightly, voice dropping into a teasing whisper. “Why are you staring at Sunghoon like that?”
You snapped out of your daze, your eyes widening slightly. “What?”
The younger Alpha smirked, resting his chin on his hand as he observed you. “You’ve been watching him since he walked in. And don’t even try to deny it.”
Heat crept up your face as you quickly looked away. “I wasn’t—”
“Uh-huh,” Ni-ki cut in, clearly unconvinced. “Sure, (Y/N). Whatever helps you sleep at night.”
You huffed, shaking your head before turning your attention back to Jungwon as he finally started the meeting.
Jungwon leaned back in his chair, fingers tapping idly against the smooth wood of the long table before his lips curled into a knowing smirk. “Alright, before we get to the real agenda… I’m assuming everyone here knows they’re expected to be at the grand dinner our dear marketing director's family is hosting?”
Collective groans echoed through the room.
Jay was the first to voice his displeasure, rolling his eyes as he slumped against his chair. “No offense, Sunghoon, but I was trying to pretend I forgot about that.”
“Do we really have to go?” Sunoo sighed dramatically, slouching back in his seat with exaggerated defeat. “What if I suddenly develop a rare illness that prevents me from attending formal events? I think it’s highly possible. I should get it checked out.”
“You and me both,” Jay added, rolling his eyes.
Jungwon chuckled, shaking his head. “I’ll make sure our dear school nurse looks after you.” His tone was light, but the glint in his eyes made it clear—none of them were getting out of this.
You sat quietly at the far end of the table, taking in the conversation with mild amusement. The mention of the event piqued your curiosity, though you weren’t as vocal about your distaste for it as the others.
Instead, you found your gaze wandering toward Sunghoon, who, as expected, remained perfectly composed, his expression cold, eyes still skimming over his tablet as if this conversation didn’t concern him in the slightest.
Unlike the others, Sunghoon wasn’t one to complain about formal events. No, he was used to them. They were expected of him, just as everything else in his life was predetermined. And yet, despite his practiced facade, something about the way he held himself—his grip tightening around the device, his jaw tensing ever so slightly—told you that he wasn’t entirely unaffected.
Not that you would ever get the chance to ask him about it.
Because every time you so much as looked his way, his entire demeanor shifted, as if your presence alone irritated him. And it stung, just a little.
Jungwon, unaware of the silent exchange, finally clapped his hands together. “Alright, moving on. Since we’re all forced to attend that wonderful dinner, let’s get to what actually matters—the upcoming school festival.”
A shift in everyone's demeanor followed as the real meeting began. Papers rustled, files were opened, and everyone straightened up, ready to discuss proposals and assignments.
“The main goal for this meeting is to finalize activity proposals before we present them for approval. We have a rough list, but we still need to sort out logistics,” Jungwon continued. “Jake, you and your team already compiled the initial proposals, right?”
Jake nodded, pulling out a neatly organized folder. “Yeah, I went through the ones submitted last week. I’ll run through them real quick.”
As Jake started going over the list, you chimed in with some of your own notes, offering insights from the secretary committee’s perspective. “Some of these proposals overlap with past events, so we might want to rethink a few of them to keep things fresh. Also, we should factor in the budget constraints before finalizing anything.”
Jay, being the treasurer, leaned forward, tapping his pen against his notebook. “Speaking of budgets, don’t forget that we still need funding for venue rentals and logistics.”
Heeseung snorted. “Stop acting like we’re broke. We could fund the whole event if we wanted to.”
Jay smirked, leaning back in his chair. “Yeah, but just because we have the funds doesn’t mean we should start tossing money around like it’s fucking Monopoly cash.”
Sunoo, the student relations director, hummed in approval. “Okay, but let’s consider which ones would actually engage the student body. No point in budgeting for an event no one shows up to.”
Heeseung leaned back in his chair, shrugging. “That’s fair, but we do have the resources. As long as it’s reasonable, funding isn’t really the issue.”
Jay sighed, still skeptical. “Fine. Just don’t come crying to me when we go over budget because someone thought a fireworks show would be a great addition.”
The discussion flowed naturally, Ni-ki making suggestions from the public relations side. “We also need to think about how we’re promoting these events. Even the best ideas fail if no one knows about them. I can get the PR committee to start drafting marketing strategies once we finalize the shortlist.”
But amidst all of this, Sunghoon was distracted. No one would have noticed—no one except Heeseung, of course.
Because while the others were engaged in conversation, Sunghoon was stuck in a losing battle against his own thoughts. His gaze flickered to you more times than he wanted to admit, even as he forced himself to keep his attention on his tablet. He wasn’t just distracted; he was frustrated.
Why did he care? Why did it bother him when you spoke so easily with the others? You had always been there. You had always been part of these meetings, always sitting on the opposite end of the table, working just as hard as the rest of them.
So why, now of all times, was he so hyperaware of you?
Why did your voice pull him from his thoughts? Why did the scent of honey and lilac make his muscles tense?
He didn’t have time for this, he didn’t have time for love.
“Sunghoon,” Heeseung’s voice cut through his thoughts suddenly, snapping him back to reality.
Sunghoon didn’t even hesitate. “Yeah, I agree with (Y/N)’s suggestion.”
Silence.
Jay raised a brow, glancing at Heeseung before turning back to Sunghoon. “You sure about that, man?”
Sunoo looked equally amused, glancing between you and Sunghoon as he tossed the pen between his hands. “Because that was the first time you spoke since the meeting started.”
The corner of Heeseung’s lips curled into a knowing smirk. “So, you were listening, huh?”
Sunghoon clenched his jaw. Heeseung knew. He always knew.
But instead of giving them the satisfaction, Sunghoon merely straightened in his seat, exuding the same indifference as before. “Of course I was. I wouldn’t be sitting here if I wasn’t.”
Then Heeseung let out a low whistle, still smirking, only leaning back in his chair. “Right. If you say so.”
Jungwon, still trying to be professional, shook his head. “Alright, focus, people.”
You, however, weren’t paying attention to them anymore. Your gaze drifted toward a specific pureblooded Alpha—the way he sat stiffly, the way his fingers tapped against the screen with an edge of tension.
And suddenly, you weren’t just confused.
You were curious.
Because if Sunghoon truly didn’t care about you, why did he remember every single word you had said?
You replayed every moment you saw him from earlier that day—his quiet, almost reluctant responses to you, how he kept his distance but somehow always seemed to be aware of everything you said and did. His voice echoed in your head now, and it made you question everything you’d assumed about him.
Was this really indifference? Or was it something else?
The meeting droned on, but your mind couldn't stay focused. It kept drifting back to him—his posture, the sharpness of his eyes, the moles on his face that somehow made him even more attractive, the way he always seemed so calculated, like he was constantly running scenarios in his head, measuring each move.
Sunghoon wasn’t just someone who blended in with the group. No, he commanded attention, even without trying.
And yet, there he was, looking as uninterested as ever, his expression stoic as he scrolled through something on his device. But that nagging feeling—like there was something more beneath his mask—kept poking at you.
Without thinking, you leaned back in your chair, letting the tension in your body melt away for a moment, trying to get a glimpse of the real Sunghoon—not the calculated, polished version he liked to show other people.
You had to admit, you were intrigued. The pureblooded Alphas were all so predictable in their own ways, but Sunghoon was different.
Your thoughts were interrupted when Heeseung cleared his throat, looking at Jungwon with a raised eyebrow. “We’re talking about the theme for the event, right?” he asked casually, as if the meeting hadn’t slipped into a quiet lull.
Jungwon nodded, unfazed. “Yes. But we need more input from everyone. Ideas that aren’t just—”
“I have one,” you cut in, unable to resist any longer. Your voice came out clear and confident, a stark contrast to the flurry of thoughts racing through your mind. “We could go with something subtle but impactful. A theme that revolves around contrasts. Like light and dark, maybe even using elements of nature, contrasts of seasons, or contrasting textures. After all, it’s all about balance.”
You paused, feeling everyone’s gaze on you for just a moment longer than necessary. But you held it together.
The room fell silent. Sunghoon didn’t react immediately, but you could sense his attention subtly shifting in your direction. You dared to meet his eyes for a split second, but he quickly looked down at his tablet again, feigning disinterest.
But you noticed the way his lips pressed together, the slight tension in his jaw that he never showed anyone else. You wondered if he was considering your words or if he was just trying to avoid acknowledging the pull you had on him.
Finally, Sunghoon spoke up, his voice surprisingly calm. “It’s not bad,” he said, looking up from his tablet. “Contrast is a powerful tool. We could work with it.” His gaze lingered on you for a brief second before he turned his attention back to the discussion, as if the acknowledgment had been nothing more than a casual comment.
You blinked, slightly taken aback. The unexpected approval from him felt different from the usual dismissive reactions. But you didn’t have time to dwell on it. You quickly nodded, trying to maintain your composure.
“I’ll send a more detailed proposal with visuals after the meeting,” you added, pushing forward.
Sunghoon didn’t say anything more, but you caught the way his gaze flickered toward you again, his eyes narrowing just slightly. There was a brief pause, like he was weighing his next move.
The air had shifted just a little, and you couldn’t quite place why. But you were certain that there was something more to his response, even if he tried to brush it off as nonchalance.
The rustling of papers and the faint creak of chairs filled the council room as everyone packed up. The meeting had dragged on longer than expected, and most of them were ready to go home.
Jake slung his bag over his shoulder, exhaling. “Alright, let’s go. I think we all want to sleep at a reasonable hour.”
Ni-ki snorted. “Reasonable? You all literally run on caffeine and stress.”
Jake rolled his eyes, already walking toward the door. “Just hurry up.”
One by one, they filed out into the dimly lit hallways, their chatter echoing through the empty corridors. Outside, the night air was crisp, the usual warm breeze replaced by a sharper chill.
The campus at night had an almost eerie but majestic feel to it, grand architecture bathed in soft golden lights, towering columns casting long shadows across the marble pathways. The air smelled of expensive cologne and freshly trimmed gardens—the very image of wealth and privilege. It was the kind of place that asked for admiration, yet felt untouchable, like something straight out of a dream.
They walked in their usual loose formation toward the parking lot, their voices filling the space between them. Sunoo and Jay were deep in a debate about their next group dinner, Ni-ki throwing in sarcastic remarks while Heeseung poked fun at Jungwon’s overly formal meeting style.
But Sunghoon?
Sunghoon was silent.
He walked with them, hands shoved into his pockets, his usual confident stride still the same. And yet, he wasn’t really there. He wasn’t paying attention to the conversation, wasn’t throwing in his usual sarcastic remarks. He barely even reacted when Ni-ki nudged him in the ribs or when Heeseung smirked at him like he was waiting for a comeback.
Jay was the first to notice. He narrowed his eyes, slowing his steps to fall in line beside him. “What’s up with you?”
Sunghoon blinked, like he hadn’t even realized someone was talking to him. “What?”
Jay gave him a look. “You’ve been weirdly quiet. Like, more than usual. It’s kinda freaking me out.”
Sunghoon exhaled through his nose, shaking his head. “I’m fine.”
But he wasn’t. And they all caught it.
Because for the briefest second, his scent changed—something bitter wafted through the air.
Jay’s eyes flickered, but he let it go. “If you say so.”
The conversation picked up again, but Sunghoon remained detached, walking alongside them but never really taking part in any of the conversations.
They reached the parking lot, and the group naturally split off toward their respective cars, saying their goodbyes.
Sunghoon walked toward his own: a sleek, black sports car, polished to perfection. It stood out even among the other luxury vehicles, a clear reminder of his status.
He pulled the door open but didn’t start it. Instead, he sat in the driver’s seat, gripping the wheel as he stared straight ahead.
The quietness of the parking lot pressed down on him, leaving nothing but the hum of distant streetlights and the faint ringing in his ears.
And then, for the first time all night, his inner Alpha spoke.
"Pathetic."
A dull throb started in his temples. He shut his eyes, jaw clenching.
"You’re running, aren’t you?"
“Shut up.” His grip on the wheel tightened, but the voice didn’t stop. It never did.
"You saw her today. Again. And what did you do?"
His chest ached. “Nothing.”
His inner Alpha scoffed. "Exactly. You ignored her. You walked past her like she was nothing."
“Because she is nothing to me.” But even as he said it, his own words felt hollow.
"Liar."
His head pulsed, frustration clawing at his skull. He couldn’t do this. He had responsibilities. Expectations. He had worked too damn hard to let something as simple as instincts get in the way.
His life was structured, orderly. He had a plan.
He had no time for love.
No time for distractions.
And yet, the way his instincts clawed at him, the way his Alpha had been restless all evening, it was suffocating.
His own body was betraying him.
He exhaled sharply, pressing his thumb and forefinger against his temple. Not now. Not ever.
With a final, sharp breath, he yanked the car door shut, sealing himself inside.
And then, without another second wasted, he started the engine and drove off into the night.
The drive home was a blur. Sunghoon barely remembered driving through the city streets, his grip on the wheel tense, jaw locked as he forced his thoughts elsewhere—anywhere but where they wanted to be.
But the moment he pulled into the long, private driveway leading to his family estate, he knew that tonight was going to be hell.
His home was as grand as expected from a family like his—towering windows, intricate stonework, and the ever-present air of power. The gates shut behind him, and for a second, he let his forehead rest against the steering wheel. Maybe if he sat here long enough, his thoughts would settle.
Your scent still clung to his senses—honey and lilac, sweet but not overpowering. It had wrapped around him in the council room, seeped into his skin, and now it refused to leave. He hated how much it soothed him, how his muscles almost wanted to relax, how it made something deep in his chest coil tighter instead of loosening.
"You’re being pathetic," his alpha sneered, voice curling in his mind like a mocking whisper. "Avoiding her doesn’t change the fact that she’s yours."
Sunghoon’s lips curled into a silent snarl as he shoved the car door open, stepping out into the crisp night air.
“She is not mine.”
His inner alpha laughed, low and knowing. "Keep telling yourself that. See how well that works."
Ignoring the voice, he strode toward the house. The moment he stepped inside, everything felt too much. The walls felt closer. The silence was suffocating. His body was tense with an agitation he couldn’t shake. His instincts were screaming at him to move, to do something.
He made his way upstairs, stripping off his blazer and tossing it carelessly onto the chair by his desk. His bathroom door was open, the mirror catching his reflection. His eyes were sharp, glowing under the dim lighting, the exhaustion on his face barely hidden beneath the tension.
He turned away, forcing himself not to linger.
A shower. Maybe that would help.
The water was scalding against his skin, yet it did nothing to ease the heat gnawing at his chest. The steam didn’t drown out your presence—your scent lingered, thick in the air. His hands clenched against the tiles, his body stiff as the wave of frustration rolled over him.
“She’s under Jake in the secretary committee,” he muttered, trying to remind himself why it couldn’t be this way. “She’s always been there, but you never cared before. Why now?”
His alpha growled, the voice inside him bitter. "Because you were blind before."
“And I’m not now?”
"No. And you hate it."
Sunghoon exhaled sharply, the water running down his back as he scrubbed it away, scrubbing away the thoughts that wouldn’t leave.
He was supposed to have control. He couldn’t let this slip. He had responsibilities, obligations—his family, the council, the expectations weighing on his shoulders. He could not afford distractions.
And yet…
The moment he collapsed onto his bed, exhaustion tugging at him, he couldn’t escape the truth. The weight of it crushed him as he stared at the ceiling, and despite all the effort to push it down, all he could think about was you.
His body fought against it. His mind screamed at him to focus, to remind himself of his purpose. But his heart, and his damn alpha—kept drawing him back to you.
He lay on his bed for what felt like hours, the shadows from the window stretching over the floor, taunting him with the silence that felt too heavy.
“Get up,” he muttered to himself, sitting up abruptly, his body moving almost involuntarily. He couldn't sleep. Couldn't let himself relax. He needed something to focus on, something that would force his mind to behave.
Sunghoon stalked over to his desk, flicking on the lamp with a snap of his fingers. The pile of paperwork in front of him was waiting; papers that he had ignored for far too long, reports that needed reviewing, contracts his father had left for him to examine.
He grabbed the nearest stack, flipping it open, pretending to care about the figures and legal jargon written on the pages. But it was useless. His eyes skimmed over the words, but none of it made sense. His mind was elsewhere. His fingers would itch for the next page, yet they weren’t moving fast enough.
He cursed under his breath, trying to force his attention back onto the papers, but his thoughts kept drifting—drifting to you.
He slammed the folder closed, frustration clawing at him, his teeth gritting as he let out a harsh breath. What the hell was wrong with him?
"You know the answer," his inner alpha purred darkly. "It’s only a matter of time before you crack."
He shook his head, trying to fight back the growing sensation of need. He couldn’t allow it. He wouldn’t allow it.
Still, the clock ticked on, its hands mocking him, each second louder than the last.
He pushed himself up from his desk, pacing the room in frustration. His mind was a battlefield, the war between his own instincts and the duties he had been born into. He couldn’t just let go.
He had responsibilities. But everything in him—his very core, his inner alpha—was screaming for him to do the one thing he refused to acknowledge: follow his instincts. Go to her. Take the step forward.
"You’re already in too deep," the voice reminded him again, this time quieter, almost tender. "She’s not just anyone. she’s yours."
Sunghoon froze, his back against the wall as the words hit him harder than he could have ever anticipated. His heart skipped a beat. The thought of you, the reality of you being his, it felt almost too much to bear.
His alpha wasn’t wrong. But the fear of breaking the walls he had carefully built around his life, the fear of losing control, it was all too overwhelming.
Finally, Sunghoon gave in and walked over to his walk-in closet, the weight of his thoughts dragging him down. He yanked open the door, revealing rows of neatly organized clothes.
His eyes scanned the options without much focus, hand moving almost automatically as he grabbed a random hoodie from the rack. Pulling it over his head, he felt the familiar weight of the fabric, but it did little to comfort him.
Maybe a walk would help. Fresh air. Something to clear his mind. Maybe then, he could shake the way his body burned for something, anything that wasn’t this.
But the instant he stepped out into the cool night, his mind betrayed him again. He walked in the direction of the garden, his eyes glued to the ground, his thoughts clouded.
And there, in the garden, where the cold air mixed with the scent of flowers, the feeling hit him again, the overwhelming, suffocating need to give in.
Sunghoon found himself staring at the moon, and then, without realizing it, his mind drifted again.
You.
And when he tried to stop it, it came anyway.
Sunghoon’s frustration increased, his fingers clenching into fists at his sides. The wind swept across the garden, rustling the leaves, and yet he felt nothing but this suffocating pull toward you, toward whatever this was. The thoughts were relentless, the pull of his instincts gnawing at him.
His phone buzzed in his pocket, cutting through the chaos of his mind. He pulled it out, his eyes narrowing at the message from Jungwon, “Need you in the council office tomorrow for another meeting. Can’t do this without the rest of you guys.”
Sunghoon scoffed, shoving the phone back into his pocket. He wasn’t in the mood to deal with any more committee business. He was already drowning in it.
Yet, despite himself, he began to walk back toward the house, his pace quickening as if his legs knew what his mind refused to accept—that he couldn’t escape this. Not for long.
The only thing on his mind now was what he couldn’t have. And the bitter, hollow feeling that came with it was growing by the minute.
The morning light barely made its way through the heavy curtains, casting faint shadows on Sunghoon’s disheveled bed. He groaned as a loud knock broke through the quietness of his room. The sound echoed in his head, still hazy with the remnants of sleep.
Reluctantly, he reached for his phone, eyes squinting against the harsh glow of the screen. 7:00 AM. The numbers were bold, a text from his sister flashed across the screen, accompanied by a string of impatient emojis.
“Sunghoon, get up. We need to head to the venue. There are last-minute details to fix before the event.”
A sigh slipped past his lips. The last thing he wanted was to be pulled into this whirlwind of preparations, but as usual, duty called. His inner alpha thrashed beneath the surface, restless as ever, but there was no time for that. He had responsibilities to uphold.
Another knock came, louder this time. “Hurry up!” His sister’s voice echoed from the hallway, laced with a teasing urgency.
“Yeah, yeah,” he muttered, dragging himself out of bed. His body felt heavy, his mind clouded, but he forced himself to push through. His sister’s impatience was nothing new, but today, it felt more grating than usual.
He stumbled to the door, opening it to find his sister standing there with arms crossed, an amused smile playing at the corner of her lips. “You're seriously still in bed? I swear, you’re getting worse with every event,” she said, her tone light but laced with the expectation of someone who knew he could do better.
Sunghoon rubbed his eyes, his voice groggy. “I’m coming,” he muttered, trying to shake off the sleepiness clinging to him. She rolled her eyes, brushing past him and heading down the stairs without another word.
Minutes later, he stood in front of the full-length mirror in his closet, adjusting the black Dior suit his mother insisted on for every event. The fabric felt familiar, but it didn’t comfort him the way it usually did.
His reflection stared back at him: sharp, immaculate, and detached. The face of someone who had never been able to escape the expectations placed upon him. He barely recognized himself some days.
Sunghoon’s sports car sped down the quiet road, the cool morning air rushing through the slightly open windows. His sister, as usual, was absorbed in her phone beside him, chattering on about whatever had caught her attention.
But Sunghoon’s mind was elsewhere. It kept drifting back to the image of you at the council, the way you carried yourself with ease, how your presence lingered in his thoughts like a scent he couldn’t shake.
“You’re driving like you’re half asleep,” his sister finally commented, giving him a quick glance with raised brows. “Sunghoon, are you okay? You’ve been off all week.”
He blinked, pulling himself out of his daze and offering a strained smile. “I’m fine,” he said, his voice betraying him as he tried to brush it off.
She eyed him skeptically. “You’ve barely talked to anyone at home this week. What’s going on?”
Sunghoon stiffened but didn’t respond immediately. His mind briefly flickered back to you, but he shook it off, trying to stay focused.
“Have you found your mate yet?” she asked, her voice soft but curious—not teasing. She could sense the change in him even if she didn’t fully understand why.
Sunghoon’s grip tightened on the steering wheel as he kept his gaze on the road. His mate. He hadn’t allowed himself to think about that possibility, not when everything felt so complicated.
“No,” he muttered, the word coming out sharper than he intended. “Not yet.”
His sister let out a dramatic sigh, clearly unimpressed. “You’re such a mess. Honestly, you could just relax. It’s not the end of the world if you let your guard down for a second.”
He didn’t respond. Instead, he continued driving, his mind still wrapped up in the swirling tension inside him. Why couldn’t it be anyone else? Why did it have to be you? He couldn’t seem to make sense of it.
The silence stretched on until his sister mumbled something under her breath, so quietly that he almost missed it.
“The poor girl.”
His head snapped toward her, brow furrowed in confusion. “What?”
She looked at him knowingly, the edge of her teasing never fully disappearing. “You’ve been pushing her away all week, haven’t you?” she said softly, almost pitying. “And you think she doesn’t notice? Poor girl. She probably thinks you’re confused with the way you keep looking at her.”
Sunghoon’s chest tightened at her words. He didn’t say anything, but the weight of them lingered in the air between them. His mind was too busy to process it. He had to stay focused. He couldn’t let himself get distracted by his feelings now, not when there was so much at stake.
His sister didn’t press the matter further. The drive continued in silence until they arrived at The Park Hotel, Seoul—a towering, luxurious building that his family owned. Sunghoon parked the car and shut off the engine, forcing himself to breathe.
As he stepped out of the car, his gaze landed on a sleek white sports car parked by the entrance. It was familiar, but there was something about it, something about the way it was parked so perfectly neat, that made Sunghoon pause. He glanced at it for a moment but didn’t think much of it. He shrugged it off. After all, there were so many cars in the parking lot. It was probably just another business associate’s vehicle.
“Come on,” his sister said, walking ahead toward the entrance. “Let’s go.”
They walked into the hotel, where the hustle of preparations for the event was already in full swing. His mother was already there, talking to a few staff members, discussing last-minute details. The sight of her being so composed and confident was a relief to Sunghoon. He always felt better around her.
“Mom!” he greeted, his mood lightening as he walked toward her. She smiled and greeted him in return before they moved toward the elevator.
“Top floor,” Sunghoon said, pressing the button for the penthouse suite, the family’s personal event space at the top of the building.
The elevator doors closed, and as it ascended, Sunghoon relaxed slightly, the tension in his shoulders easing. He loved this space; it always gave him a sense of control. The casual chatter in the elevator with his mom helped ground him.
“Everything ready for the event?” he asked casually, watching the numbers on the elevator screen rise.
His mom smiled, nodding. “Almost. Just some last-minute touches, but I think we’ll be fine. You know how much I love to be thorough with everything.” She glanced at him, her smile softening. “How’s everything with you, Sunghoon? You seem a bit distracted today.”
Sunghoon rubbed the back of his neck, trying to smile more naturally. “I’m just tired, I guess. Been a long week.” He quickly glanced over at his sister, who had her nose buried in her phone. “You know how it is.”
“Of course,” his mom said with a knowing look. “You’ve got a lot on your plate, don’t you? Just don’t overwork yourself. You know you can talk to me about anything.”
Sunghoon appreciated the concern, but he wasn’t ready to share what was really on his mind. “I’ll be fine, Mom. Don’t worry.”
The elevator finally stopped, and they were greeted by the usual flurry of activity as staff members hurried around, making sure every last detail was in place. His mom led the way, greeting workers and supervisors with ease.
But Sunghoon’s attention was already elsewhere. His eyes instinctively swept over the scene, and that’s when he saw you.
You were standing near one of the event coordinators, looking effortlessly at ease, your posture graceful. Sunghoon froze. His heart skipped a beat as his gaze locked onto you.
Before he could process it further, his mom continued walking ahead, greeting a woman standing nearby. Sunghoon barely registered who she was until he saw her face, and the resemblance was unmistakable.
His breath caught. The woman was elegant, poised, with the same features that were reflected in your own face. He stood frozen, unsure of how to react. His eyes flicked back to you, now standing beside the woman, his mind struggling to catch up with the sudden connection.
Then, to his surprise, his mom stepped forward and pulled you into a warm, affectionate hug. The gesture caught the pureblooded Alpha off guard, leaving him momentarily speechless.
His sister, noticing the way Sunghoon’s gaze lingered on the scene, raised an eyebrow. She smirked, almost as if she had been waiting for this moment.
“So… it’s actually (Y/N), huh?” she said casually, her tone light but laced with a knowing edge. “Guess you really can’t avoid it, huh?”
Sunghoon’s chest tightened as he took a deep breath, trying to process everything at once. What were you doing here?
Sunghoon stood frozen, his thoughts racing as his mom pulled you into a warm embrace. The sight of your face, the familiar features—everything about you felt like it was making his world tilt. He was still processing it all when his mom’s voice broke through his daze.
“Sunghoon, come here, both of you,” his mom called, waving them over.
Sunghoon’s feet moved almost automatically, his sister walking ahead of him, a mischievous glint in her eyes as she noticed the subtle tension in his posture. When they reached his mom, she was still smiling warmly at you and the woman standing next to you.
“(Y/N), I’d like you to meet my children, Sunghoon and his younger sister. And this is (Y/N)’s mother, who I’ve been coordinating with for the event,” she added, beaming. "She’s in the same university as you two, actually.”
Sunghoon’s eyes flickered between you and your mother. So, it was your family they were working with. The realization hit him harder than expected, his chest tightening.
Sunghoon’s sister raised an eyebrow and gave you a knowing smile, but it was his mom who asked the next question, her curiosity piqued. “What are you involved in at school, (Y/N)? I’m sure you’ve been keeping busy with the student council, right?”
You smiled a little, still feeling a little nervous under Sunghoon’s gaze, but his mom’s friendly demeanor helped ease the tension. “Yeah, I’m part of the student council. I’ve been helping with the planning and coordination for the event today.”
His mom nodded approvingly. “That’s wonderful! It’s always nice to see young people so dedicated and involved. I bet you and Sunghoon are both quite busy with school.”
You nodded in agreement, a small smile tugging at your lips as you looked at Sunghoon. “We see each other around. We’re both pretty busy with different things on campus.”
Sunghoon’s sister teased, “You two are pretty close, though, aren’t you?”
Sunghoon barely met your eyes, his lips curling into a tight, controlled smile. You mirrored his smile but said nothing, feeling the tension between you both grow.
“Well, it’s great to see you both getting along!” his mom said, clearly happy with the easy atmosphere. “It’s nice to have a friendly face on campus.”
Before Sunghoon could respond, his sister pulled you away with a mischievous glint in her eye. “Come on, let’s go help with the flowers,” she said, nudging you gently. “We’ll let Sunghoon handle things for a bit.”
Sunghoon watched you both walk off, his gaze lingering on your retreating figure. His thoughts swirled, but before he could gather them, his mom caught his eye, giving him a knowing look. She didn’t comment, but her silence spoke volumes.
Sunghoon took a deep breath, his mind still racing. Whatever this was, it was far from over.
The evening settled in, casting a golden glow through the large windows of the hotel. The once-chaotic venue was finally coming together—round tables adorned with pristine tablecloths, floral arrangements meticulously placed, and staff scurrying around to finalize details.
You stood near a reception table, clipboard in hand, while Sunghoon’s sister leaned in beside you, skimming through the checklist.
“So, what’s left?” she asked, propping her chin on your shoulder.
You tapped the page with your pen. “Final seating adjustments, sound check, and we still need to confirm the catering schedule.”
She let out a dramatic sigh. “God, I don’t know how you keep up with all this.”
You smirked. “Maybe because I actually enjoy it?”
She gave you a teasing nudge. “Or maybe because you’re a perfectionist, Secretary Committee Girl.”
You rolled your eyes at the nickname. “I organize things. It’s literally my job in the council.”
Before she could respond, a familiar voice cut through the air.
“You’re overcomplicating the seating chart.”
Your head snapped up, and there he was—Park Sunghoon, standing with his usual composed posture, hands tucked into his pockets, expression unreadable. His mother had been talking to a coordinator nearby, but now, she glanced between the two of you, a small, knowing smile on her lips.
You exhaled through your nose. “We’re adjusting it, not overcomplicating it.”
Sunghoon gave you a flat look. “You moved the executive table again.”
“it needed to be closer to the main stage,” you argued.
“Which messes with the aisle clearance,” he countered.
You opened your mouth to respond, but his mother stepped in smoothly. “You two can argue about seating later. For now, go check on the banquet hall setup. The decorators should be almost done.”
Sunghoon sighed but nodded, while you grabbed your clipboard and turned to his sister. “You coming?”
She waved you off. “Nah, I’m staying here. You two have fun.”
You frowned at her mischievous tone, but the Alpha next to you didn’t give you time to dwell on it. With a tight-lipped expression, he gestured for you to walk ahead.
The large hall was buzzing with activity. Staff were setting up buffet tables, arranging cutlery, and making last-minute touches to the decorations. You and Sunghoon stood near the entrance, scanning the room.
“I’ll check on the centerpiece placements,” you said, glancing at your clipboard. “You can handle the catering status.”
He crossed his arms. “Why do I have to handle catering?”
You raised an eyebrow. “Because I don’t feel like arguing with the head chef.”
Sunghoon huffed but walked off toward the catering team while you made your way toward the floral arrangements. After a few minutes, you stood near the main table.
“They’re behind schedule,” Sunghoon reported, running a hand through his hair. “Something about delayed deliveries.”
You groaned. “Of course.”
You took out your phone, scrolling through your contact list. Sunghoon watched as you expertly navigated the crisis, calling the supplier and getting an update within minutes.
When you hung up, he raised an eyebrow. “You’re really in your element with this.”
You shrugged. “I have to be. The secretary committee basically runs everything behind the scenes.”
He scoffed. “So that’s why you always look stressed on campus.”
You shot him a look. “Excuse me?”
He smirked. “I see you in the student council room all the time, buried under paperwork. I just assumed it was self-inflicted suffering or Jake really hated your guts.”
You rolled your eyes. “Unlike some people, I actually like responsibility.”
Sunghoon just hummed, amused, before looking toward the exit. “Come on, we still have to check the ballroom.”
The ballroom, meant for the main program, was dimly lit as technicians adjusted the spotlights. You and Sunghoon walked toward the stage, where a staff member was testing the mic.
“You handle sound checks?” he asked, sounding mildly impressed.
You nodded. “Part of the job.”
Sunghoon leaned against a nearby pillar, watching as you exchanged instructions with the technicians. His eyes trailed over the way you moved—so effortlessly slipping into control, giving orders with ease, adjusting the smallest details without hesitation. You were in your element, and for a brief moment, he wondered if this was what he had been avoiding all along.
When you finally wrapped up, he glanced at you, voice quieter than before. “You’re really everywhere, huh?”
“That’s kind of the point,” you said, flipping through your notes.
His gaze lingered on you for a second longer before he looked away, clearing his throat. “So, what’s next?”
You skimmed the checklist. “We need to make sure the VIP section is set up properly.”
Sunghoon groaned. “Please don’t tell me we have to argue about chairs again.”
You smirked. “That depends. Are you going to accept that I’m always right?”
He gave you an unimpressed look but followed you anyway.
The two of you walked through the elegantly arranged VIP tables, double-checking details. At one point, you crouched down to fix a misplaced name card, only to feel Sunghoon standing way too close behind you.
“You’re hovering,” you muttered.
“I’m observing,” he corrected.
You turned your head slightly, only to realize just how close he was. His scent—coffee and leather—wrapped around you, warm and grounding. You swallowed, standing up quickly and brushing imaginary dust off your skirt.
His inner alpha stirred, "Weak. You’re running again."
He ignored it.
His gaze traced the slight parting of your lips, the subtle rise and fall of your shoulders as you exhaled. He let himself linger, just for a second, in the space between restraint and surrender. And that’s when the thought crept in, unbidden.
"Is this really what you’re afraid of? Her? Or the way she makes you forget everything else?"
His jaw tightened.
Because it wasn’t just the bond. It wasn’t just attraction. It was the fear of unraveling, of slipping so deep into something he couldn’t control that he’d abandon everything else, his duties, his carefully built walls, the life that was expected of him.
His alpha hummed in amusement. "She makes you weak, but you want her anyway."
Sunghoon swallowed hard, straightening his posture. The warmth in his eyes cooled, replaced by something unreadable.
You frowned slightly at the shift.
He smirked. “Nervous?” His voice was smooth, but there was a sudden distance in it.
You scoffed. “You wish.”
His gaze flickered to your lips for the briefest second before he took a step back, shoving his hands into his pockets as if forcing the space between you.
"Coward."
“If you say so,” he hummed.
Before you could respond, a voice interrupted.
“Ah, there you two are.”
Sunghoon turned, shifting his expression into something neutral as his mother approached, clipboard in hand. You straightened up beside him, the moment from before slipping between your fingers like sand.
“I need you both to oversee the final checks while I discuss something with the event coordinators.” His mother’s tone left no room for argument. She gave Sunghoon a look, one that was equal parts expectation and knowing—before handing you the clipboard. “You know what to do.”
You nodded. “Of course, Mrs. Park.”
Sunghoon exhaled slowly through his nose, nodding along as well. It wasn’t like he could say no.
"Another thing you can't say no to, huh?" His alpha taunted.
He clenched his jaw, pushing down the irritation forming in his chest. It wasn’t at you, he knew that much. It was at himself, at the way he was still standing next to you despite everything.
You, however, had already moved on, scanning through the checklist before nudging his arm. “Come on, Park. The sooner we start, the sooner we finish.”
His eyes flicked down to where you touched him, the warmth of your skin seeping through his sleeve. His inner alpha hummed in approval, but he ignored it, following you as you walked through the venue.
As you worked, your voice was steady as you went over the details. “Floral arrangements are set, table placements are final…” You trailed off as you examined the stage setup, flipping a page on the clipboard. “Lighting checks should be done soon. Could you talk to the technicians?”
He raised a brow. “You’re delegating to me now?”
You gave him a pointed look. “I can’t do everything myself.”
Sunghoon smirked despite himself, but there was something bitter about it. You weren’t even flustered around him anymore. When did you stop getting nervous?
His alpha scoffed. "You’re upset about that? Pathetic."
Still, he didn’t argue. He stepped away, scanning the ballroom for the lighting crew before walking off.
By the time he returned, you were deep in conversation with the floral team, gesturing toward one of the centerpieces. His gaze followed your movements—how easily you took control of the situation, how effortlessly you belonged in this environment.
"She’s everywhere. Always in the middle of things, always moving forward."
He rubbed the back of his neck, a familiar tightness forming in his chest. Maybe that’s why he had avoided this for so long. Because standing here, watching you do what you did best, made him realize something.
It wasn’t just about you. It was about him.
The fear wasn’t of falling for you. It was of what that would mean, of what he’d have to let go of to have you.
“Earth to Sunghoon?”
He blinked, snapping back to reality. You were watching him, an amused expression on your face.
“Spacing out already?” you teased. “We’re not even done yet.”
He exhaled through his nose, shaking his head. “Just thinking.”
“About what?”
“Nothing important,” he muttered, voice clipped.
You frowned at the sudden change in his tone but didn’t push. “Right. Well, let me know if you're ready to go. We still have things to check.”
You walked past him, your scent—honey and lilac—lingering in the air, soft yet unmistakable. His Alpha bristled, pushing at his restraint.
"She’s slipping away. Your Omega is slipping away."
Sunghoon clenched his fists. No. You were right here. He just didn’t know what to do with that.
For now, he settled for following you.
The night air was crisp, carrying a faint chill that hinted at the changing seasons. You barely noticed, too preoccupied with checking off the last few items on your clipboard as you walked through the dimly lit parking lot with Sunghoon’s sister beside you.
“God, if one more person asks me about table placements, I’m quitting this whole thing,” she groaned, rubbing her temples.
You chuckled. “You say that, but you’ll still show up tomorrow looking like you run the place.”
She shot you a tired grin. “Shut up.”
A few steps behind, Sunghoon trailed silently. He wasn’t really listening to the conversation—at least, that’s what he told himself.
But his eyes betrayed him, flickering to you every so often, catching the way your brows furrowed in concentration, the way you absentmindedly tapped your pen against the clipboard, the way your scent of honey and lilacs felt like it was wrapping around him, daring him to step closer.
"She’s right there. Yours. Slipping away."
His inner Alpha’s voice was persistent, lingering in the back of his mind like an ache he refused to acknowledge.
He exhaled sharply, pushing the thought away. This was what he wanted, wasn’t it? Distance. Control. A clear line between what he felt and what he knew he had to do.
But then you stopped beside your car, unlocking it with a quiet beep. His sister slowed beside you, turning to Sunghoon with a slight frown.
“Hoon, you good?”
Your gaze flickered toward him at the question, eyes searching, like you were trying to figure out what was wrong.
And that was the problem. You always noticed.
The Alpha tensed, his walls slamming back up. His face smoothed over, his posture shifted; cold, detached, unreadable.
“Yeah,” he said flatly.
The change was almost unnoticeable, but you caught it.
Your grip on the clipboard tightened, as if debating whether to push, whether to call him out on it. But instead, you just nodded, lips pressing into a thin line.
“Alright,” you murmured.
His sister sighed dramatically, rolling her eyes. “You’re both so dramatic.” Then she turned to you, brightening up again. “Don’t overwork yourself, okay?”
You mustered a tired smile. “I won’t.”
Sunghoon stayed silent.
And this time, you didn’t bother looking at him before sliding into your car.
The moment your door shut, his Alpha growled in protest.
"Fix it."
He clenched his jaw, shoving his hands deeper into his pockets.
“No.”
Your engine rumbled to life, headlights casting long shadows across the pavement. He should’ve looked away, should’ve just walked off—but he didn’t. He watched as you drove off, the sound of your car fading into the night.
A quiet sigh escaped him. His mother.
She didn’t say anything earlier, didn’t scold or pry. She simply looked at him; knowing, like she already had a hint of what was happening.
And for some reason, that made his chest tighten.
So he exhaled, turned on his heel, and walked away.
The Park estate was quieter than usual, save for the faint rustling of leaves outside and the occasional laughter echoing from the living room. Sunghoon leaned back against the couch, one arm draped over the backrest as he scrolled mindlessly through his phone.
The guys had gathered there a few hours before the grand dinner, since it was closer to the venue, and the suits for the evening were going to be delivered directly to the estate. It was comfortable, familiar.
“Bro, do you even listen to yourself?” Sunoo snorted, throwing a cushion at Jungwon, who barely dodged. “You keep saying you care about her, but where are you, huh? If I were your mate, I’d leave your ass.”
Jungwon groaned, rubbing his temples. “It’s not like I’m ignoring her on purpose, okay? I just—”
“Just what?” Sunoo raised an eyebrow. “Bro, you’re literally a pureblooded Alpha. Start acting like one.”
Jake snorted from his spot on the couch, shaking his head. “You talk a lot of shit for someone who barely figured out his own mating bond.”
“Hey, at least I figured it out,” Sunoo shot back. “Jungwon’s still treating his Omega like he's still courting her—he's walking on eggshells.”
Jungwon groaned, running a hand through his hair. “I don’t need this right now.” The younger Alpha huffed, slumping into the couch, ears turning a bit red.
Heeseung chuckled. “He’s right, you know. Just follow your instincts. Might help.”
Sunghoon tuned them out. His fingers tapped against his phone screen, his mind elsewhere. That was, until two familiar voices drifted in from the hallway.
“Oh yeah, follow that. Don't be like my brother—can’t relate to the whole instincts thing.”
His sister and Heeseung's mate.
Sunghoon barely registered her words, but the comment stung more than he expected. He tensed up, feeling his jaw clench involuntarily.
They didn’t even glance his way, walking past them straight to the kitchen.
For some reason, it made him feel smaller than he ever wanted to. He stayed quiet, his grip on his phone tightened, focusing on the lack of sound in the room.
Jungwon’s eyebrows lifted. “Uh… hello? You good?”
Ni-ki leaned forward, grinning. “Yeah, that was kinda weak, man. You always have something to say.”
Sunghoon didn’t respond. He couldn’t. His thoughts were spiraling too fast, his Alpha stirring like an itch he couldn’t scratch.
"They’re right. You’ve been avoiding this for too long."
His jaw clenched.
"Why? Because you’re scared? Because you think pushing her away makes you stronger? You already know the answer, don’t you?
Sunghoon snapped."
A low, warning growl left his throat, deep and sharp, cutting through the air like a blade.
His scent soured, something bitter and tense.
The room fell silent.
Sunghoon immediately regretted it.
His friends weren’t scared, he knew that much—but they were surprised. He never let his emotions slip like that, never let his control falter.
Jake raised an eyebrow. “Damn, man,” he muttered, clearly surprised. “You good?”
Sunghoon exhaled slowly, pressing his thumb against his temple.
Jungwon, still startled, hesitated before speaking. “Hey, man, relax…”
And then, Jungwon added, almost absently—
“What’s got you all messed up? It’s like you—”
Sunghoon cut him off. “I met my mate.”
The words left his mouth before he even fully registered what he was saying.
The silence that followed was deafening.
Sunoo was the first to recover. “What?”
Jungwon’s eyes widened as he processed what Sunghoon had said. “Wait—what?”
Sunghoon leaned back against the couch, rubbing a hand over his face. His heartbeat felt louder in his ears now, the weight of his own admission settling in. “I met my mate,” he repeated, this time with more certainty, but still unsure.
Jake let out a low whistle. “Well, shit,” he muttered, running a hand through his hair. “Didn’t think I’d hear that today.”
Jay was still staring at him like he had grown a second head. “You?”
Sunghoon shot him a glare. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Jay raised his hands in defense. “I mean, dude, it’s you. You’ve never even cared about that kind of stuff. I just—when? How?”
Sunghoon hesitated. He hadn’t planned on saying this out loud, let alone explaining it. The moment he said the words, it felt like he had given away the control he had spent years perfecting—it had just cracked at the edges.
Sunoo narrowed his eyes. “Yeah, and who?”
Ni-ki looked almost wary. “Wait, wait, hold up—are you sure?”
Sunghoon shot him a flat look. “You think I’d joke about this?”
“No, but you also don’t exactly seem sure,” Ni-ki pointed out.
That was fair.
Because the truth was, Sunghoon wasn’t sure, not fully. Or at least, he had spent the last few days convincing himself he wasn’t sure. Because if he admitted it, that meant things had to change.
And Sunghoon hated change.
Heeseung, who had been the quietest of them all, finally spoke up. His voice was calm. “Since when?”
Sunghoon pressed his lips together.
“Sunghoon,” Heeseung pushed, more insistent this time. “How long have you known?”
A muscle in Sunghoon’s jaw ticked. “…A while.”
Another silence stretched between them, heavier this time.
Sunoo groaned, running a hand down his face. “You knew and didn’t say anything?”
Sunghoon didn’t answer.
Jake scoffed, shaking his head. “Bro, what the hell?”
Ni-ki leaned forward, his expression sharper now. “You’re seriously fighting this?” His voice was wary, frustrated. Despite being the youngest, he thought it was stupid—this was instincts, this was nature.
The gods themselves had chosen fated mates with intention. Rejecting that was like rejecting the sky, the air, the pull of the ocean’s tide. It made no sense to him. “Why would you reject something that’s meant for you?”
Jungwon, usually the more level-headed one, actually agreed. “Ni-ki’s right,” he muttered. “You’re making this way harder than it has to be.”
Sunghoon snapped.
“You think I had a choice?” His voice came out sharper than he meant, louder. His scent flared again, dominance pouring out of him.
And that set them all off.
Because they weren’t just Alphas. They were pureblooded Alphas, born and bred into power, and when dominance was challenged, instinct demanded they answer.
Jake and Jay shot him a glare, their own scents spiking as an automatic reaction. Jungwon bared his teeth slightly, frustration and something close to disbelief flickering in his eyes. Sunoo looked like he wanted to hit him.
“Yeah, you had a choice,” Sunoo threw back. “And you blew it!”
Ni-ki’s glare sharpened. “Do you even hear yourself right now?”
Jake scoffed, shaking his head. “You think this is a fucking game? Do you know how many Alphas would kill to even find their mate?”
Sunghoon clenched his fists. “It’s not that simple.”
Jay barked out a short, humorless laugh. “No, you’re just making it complicated.”
Sunghoon had had enough.
He shot up from the couch, turned on his heel, and walked out, his footsteps heavy against the marble flooring, his scent still bitter, still unsettled. He didn’t care where he was going. He just needed to get out.
Sunoo and Heeseung exchanged glances before following after him.
The afternoon air was cooler than he expected. He exhaled slowly, running a hand through his hair, trying to breathe.
Sunoo was the first to break the silence. “Dude,” he muttered, “what the hell is going on with you?”
Sunghoon didn’t answer immediately. He stared out at the sunlit garden, hands in his pockets, jaw tight.
Heeseung leaned against the railing beside him. “Talk to us.” His voice was calm. “You don’t have to deal with this alone.”
Sunghoon let out a short, hollow laugh. “Feels like I do.”
Sunoo crossed his arms. “No, you’re just choosing to.”
Silence.
Sunghoon’s fingers twitched. He didn’t know how to say it, didn’t know how to make them understand.
“I…” He exhaled sharply, tilting his head back. “I don’t want this.”
Sunoo furrowed his brows. “Why?”
Sunghoon swallowed hard. “Because I don’t know how to be that person. A mate. A bond. A life that’s—” He shook his head. “I wasn’t made for that.”
heeseung sighed, rubbing his temple before stepping in. “sunghoon, listen to yourself. you’re treating this like it’s some kind of punishment.”
sunghoon let out a heavy breath, the weight in his chest pressing down harder. “it feels like one,” he admitted.
“because—” sunghoon continued, closing his eyes for a brief second before looking away. “because it means everything changes. i change.”
Sunoo scoffed, shaking his head. “And? What’s so bad about that?”
Sunghoon turned to him, frustration bubbling to the surface. “You don’t get it—”
“No, you don’t get it.” Sunoo cut him off. “You’re not losing yourself, Sunghoon. You’re finding something—someone that was always meant to be yours.”
Heeseung nodded, stepping closer. “And having an Omega to call yours? That’s a responsibility in itself, one you were always meant to take on. You’re not abandoning anything—you’re taking something just as important.”
Sunghoon’s jaw clenched, his chest rising and falling with each sharp breath. He wanted to argue, wanted to fight back—but the truth was, deep down, he knew they were right.
The thought alone terrified him.
The event was already in full swing by the time Sunghoon arrived, the grand ballroom glowing with golden chandeliers and the murmur of polite conversation.
His polished shoes clicked against the marble floors as he stepped in alongside the others, all of them dressed in perfectly tailored suits, their hair styled to absolute precision. They looked every bit like the pureblooded Alphas they were raised to be: refined, dominant, untouchable.
But none of that mattered the second he spotted you.
You were standing near the center of the room, surrounded by a group of familiar faces—his sister, Jungwon’s mate, Heeseung’s mate, and other Omegas of high standing. A tight-knit circle of Omegas that radiated grace and effortless elegance, laughing softly amongst themselves, their delicate fingers wrapped around champagne flutes.
And then there was you.
Your gown hugged your frame in all the right places before cascading down in soft waves, your hair curled to perfection, makeup flawless, lips painted a shade he couldn’t quite name but suddenly wanted to memorize.
It pissed him off.
Not because you looked good—no, that was obvious. It was the fact that you had noticed him, just as he had noticed you, but chose to act like he wasn’t even there.
He saw it. The way your shoulders tensed when he stepped into your vision, how your fingers gripped your champagne glass just a little tighter. But you didn’t acknowledge him. Didn’t even glance his way.
Like the past few days of him being distant meant nothing.
And that—that frustrated him more than anything.
A cough sounded beside him.
“Karma,” Sunoo smirked, enjoying every second of this.
Jake chuckled, shaking his head. Jungwon outright grinned. Even Heeseung—calm, composed Heeseung—gave him a knowing glance, like he had expected this from the start.
But the worst was Ni-ki.
The youngest in the group, ever observant, leaned in slightly, whispering just loud enough for them to hear.
“Damn,” Ni-ki mused, tilting his head. “That must hurt.”
Sunghoon clenched his jaw, ignoring the way the others tried to suppress their laughter.
His gaze flickered back to you.
Still not looking at him.
Sunghoon barely had a moment to collect himself before the inevitable happened.
People noticed them.
It was impossible not to.
A group of young, pureblooded Alpha heirs walking into a gathering like this, dressed to perfection, exuding confidence and power—of course, eyes turned their way.
The murmurs started almost instantly, subtle yet unmistakable. A few heads turned, quiet whispers rippling through the crowd as their names carried weight in these circles.
They barely had a chance to exchange glances before they were pulled into conversations, their group dispersing as they were greeted by family acquaintances, business partners, and distant relatives.
Sunghoon knew how this worked. He had been raised for it, trained to move through these events with effortless charm and perfect composure.
His feet carried him toward his parents, who were seated at a table near your group. His father, deep in conversation with a few business partners, barely glanced at him before greeting him with a firm pat on the shoulder. His mother, ever the composed woman, gave him a knowing look before murmuring, “You’re late.”
Sunghoon exhaled, adjusting the cuff of his suit. “Got caught up.”
His father chuckled, still half-distracted. “Ah, well. You made it.”
Before Sunghoon could take a step back, a familiar voice cut in.
“Well, if it isn’t Sunghoon.”
Sunghoon turned, and his expression barely shifted, though he immediately recognized the man.
An older Alpha, mid-forties, silver-streaked hair, broad-shouldered and sharp-eyed. Someone deeply tied to their family’s business dealings—one of his father’s closest partners.
“It’s been a while since I saw you,” the man continued, raising his glass in greeting. His tone was casual. “You’ve grown into quite the spitting image of your father.”
Sunghoon offered a small, polite nod. “It’s good to see you again.”
The older Alpha chuckled, taking a slow sip of his drink. “Good to see you too, kid. I remember when you were still a runt, running around at these events like you had better places to be.”
Sunghoon let out a short, practiced laugh. “Not much has changed.”
That earned another chuckle. Then, with an amused tilt of his head, the older Alpha leaned back slightly in his chair.
“You must have Omegas swooning left and right,” he mused, swirling his glass lazily. “With that face of yours, I bet they’re lining up.”
Sunghoon let out a soft breath, shaking his head. “I don’t have time for that.”
It was an easy response. Dismissive, effortless. A throwaway comment.
Except his eyes betrayed him.
Because, without thinking, his gaze flickered right back to you.
And you heard him. Of course, you did.
Omegas had sharper senses than most. Your hearing was leagues above everyone else’s, and Sunghoon knew it.
He knew it the moment he saw your grip on the champagne glass tighten ever so slightly. The way your shoulders straightened just a little more.
But you didn’t react, not outwardly.
Instead, you let out a small, polite laugh, face perfectly neutral. Then, in the same smooth, composed tone you always used at events like this, you excused yourself.
Sunghoon stiffened.
But it wasn’t just you who reacted.
His sister’s gaze snapped to him almost immediately, a flicker of something unmistakable in her expression: disappointment.
She said nothing, but she didn’t need to. The look alone said everything.
And she wasn’t the only one.
His mother, ever observant, barely shifted in her seat, but the sharp glint in her eyes told him she had caught on too.
Sunghoon swallowed.
He shouldn’t follow you.
He should’ve let it go.
But before he even realized it, his feet were already moving.
The hall leading to the restrooms was dimly lit, the golden glow of the chandeliers fading the further you walked. The music and chatter from the ballroom dulled behind you, muffled and distant, as if the world was deliberately pulling away, leaving you alone with your thoughts, with the weight on your chest.
Your back hit the wall beside the restroom entrance, your breathing sharp and uneven.
Your inner Omega whimpered, "Not here. Not now."
You clenched your fists at your sides, nails pressing into your palms as you fought the sting behind your eyes.
You had known. You had always known how this would end.
And yet, standing there, shoulders stiff, throat tight, your pulse hammering against your skin, you hated that it still hurt.
You sucked in a breath, blinking up at the ceiling, forcing the tears back.
You would not cry.
Not in front of him.
And yet, the moment you sensed his presence, the moment his scent curled around you; thick, intoxicating, overwhelming, your body betrayed you.
Your fingers twitched.
Your breathing faltered.
You hated yourself for giving in so easily.
“What do you want, Sunghoon?” Your voice was cold, but the slight tremble at the end, barely there, almost unnoticeable, gave you away.
He stopped a few feet away, his hands flexing at his sides.
He was staring at you, his gaze dark, conflicted, like he didn’t know why he was here either.
His Adam’s apple bobbed. “I—”
“You what?” You cut him off, your voice sharp, edged with something dangerously close to heartbreak.
He exhaled, pressing his lips into a thin line.
You almost laughed. Of course.
“Nothing to say?” You scoffed, tilting your head. “Then why are you here?”
His jaw clenched. “I don’t—” He ran a hand through his hair, exhaling harshly.
You hated the way your chest clenched at the sight.
Hated the way his tie had loosened slightly, the way a strand of hair had fallen over his forehead, the way he looked so frustratingly undone for the first time tonight.
“You push me away.” Your voice wavered, but you forced yourself to continue. “You act like I don’t exist. And now you’re here, acting like you—” You swallowed, shaking your head. “You don’t get to do this, Sunghoon.”
His lips parted slightly.
“You don’t get to act like I matter when you’ve made it very clear that I don’t.”
Something cracked in his gaze. And for the first time, he looked afraid.
“I never said that,” he muttered, his voice softer now.
“You didn’t have to.”
Silence.
A suffocating silence. Your throat burned. You couldn’t do this. You turned to leave, to push past him, to breathe—
But suddenly—
You couldn’t move, and before you could react, a strong, calloused hand wrapped around your wrist—firm, desperate.
Your breath hitched.
Sunghoon pulled you back—hard—and in the span of a heartbeat, you collided straight into his chest.
The impact knocked the air from your lungs.
His scent swallowed you whole.
You gasped sharply, your knees nearly giving out.
And then—
Warmth.
Overwhelming, all-consuming warmth, his arms were around you.
One wrapped tight around your waist, pulling you flush against him. The other cradled the back of your head, fingers weaving through your hair—steady, like he was terrified of letting go.
Your chest heaved against his, hands fisting his suit jacket so tightly your knuckles ached.
But you didn’t care. You couldn’t care.
Not when his heart was hammering against yours, not when his grip on you was desperate, not when his entire body was trembling, like he was breaking just as much as you were.
Your breath came out shaky. “Let me go.”
He didn’t. He tightened his hold.
“Sunghoon.” Your voice cracked.
His head dipped lower, his breath fanning against your temple.
“I can’t.”
Your stomach flipped violently. Tears spilled down your cheeks, hot and relentless.
“You—” You squeezed your eyes shut, your grip on his suit tightening. “You’re such a fucking coward.”
His body tensed. But he didn’t pull away. Didn’t loosen his hold. Didn’t deny it.
Instead, his fingers curled into the fabric of your dress. And for the first time—Sunghoon let his instincts win.
Your hands gripped his suit tighter as your chest heaved, a strangled sob breaking free before you could stop it. The tears were now, falling fast and hot, no longer something you could hold back.
You pressed your face into his chest, the fabric of his suit absorbing the wetness, but it did nothing to soothe the ache inside you.
Sunghoon’s grip didn’t loosen. If anything, it tightened. He pulled you in closer, as if trying to protect you from everything.
The shaking of his hands on your back was evident, and the way his chest rose and fell in uneven breaths made your heart ache for him in ways you didn’t understand.
“Don't cry, Omega, please.” His voice was barely a whisper.
You shook your head, the words stuck in your throat. It felt like all the pain you’d buried, all the frustration, the confusion, the rejection—it was spilling out at once. You were drowning in it, and you didn’t know how to stop.
But his plea only made the sobs come harder, breaking free from your throat like you had been holding them in for years.
His arms tightened around you again, as if he could physically hold your pain together, as if he could stop you from shattering completely.
“I hate you.” The words barely made it past your lips, muffled against his chest, but he heard them.
You knew he heard them.
Because his entire body stiffened for a split second before his grip on you softened, his hand sliding from your waist to your lower back, the one behind your head shifting, his fingers threading into your hair with a gentleness that almost hurt.
“I know,” he murmured, voice so quiet it was almost lost in the silence of the hallway.
Your body shook against his, another sob wracking through you, and he just held you.
Not saying anything.
Not pulling away.
Just letting you break in his arms the way you had never allowed yourself to before.
Minutes passed, or maybe seconds—it didn’t matter.
Time felt frozen between you, the weight of everything crashing down in the space between your heavy breaths. Your mascara had smudged against the fabric of his suit, staining it, but he didn’t seem to care. He just kept holding you, his scent wrapping around you, keeping you from completely falling apart.
And then, finally—finally—you found your voice.
“Why?"
A single word. Quiet. Shaky. But sharp enough to cut through the silence.
Sunghoon stilled.
“Why did you do it?" Your voice cracked, but you pushed forward, your hands gripping his suit even tighter. “Why did you act like I didn’t exist? Like I was nothing to you? Why did you pretend you didn’t care when you—when you—" Another sob clawed its way out of your throat, your fingers trembling where they clung to him. “When you do this? When you hold me like this, like you actually—"
Your voice faltered, and Sunghoon inhaled sharply. His grip on you loosened, just enough for him to pull back slightly, just enough for him to see your face. His fingers, still shaking, brushed against your cheek, tracing over the tear-stained skin, his thumb wiping away the wetness that refused to stop falling.
His hands paused for a second.
And then—so, so softly—he spoke.
“I was scared.”
Your breath hitched.
“Scared?" you muttered, barely above a whisper.
He nodded, swallowing hard, his jaw clenching like he was fighting something inside himself. His fingers brushed against your cheek again, hesitating, before cupping your face fully, his touch impossibly gentle.
“I didn’t know how to handle it," he admitted, voice soft, filled with something unrecognizable. “I didn’t know how to handle you."
Your brows furrowed, your heart pounding painfully against your ribs.
“Sunghoon—"
“Everything in my life has always been about responsibility," he cut in, his grip on your face tightening slightly, not enough to hurt, but enough to make sure you were listening. “I was raised to be strong, to take over, to lead—to never let anything distract me from what I was meant to do."
His thumb traced the curve of your cheekbone, and his gaze softened—just barely.
“And then there was you.”
The words came out barely above a whisper, but they sent a shiver down your spine.
Sunghoon let out a shaky breath, his forehead nearly pressing against yours. “You were never supposed to be a part of that plan.”
Pain flared in your chest, sharp and unrelenting.
“So what?" you whispered, voice trembling. “You thought ignoring me would make it easier?"
His eyes squeezed shut, his expression twisting into something almost pained. “I thought if I pretended you didn’t exist, it wouldn’t hurt as much.”
A bitter laugh left your lips. “And did it?"
Sunghoon let out a slow breath, his hands stilling against your skin. His silence was the only answer you needed.
He was breaking, right in front of you.
And for the first time, you saw it. The fear in his eyes. The weight on his shoulders. The guilt, the regret, the want.
“You absolute coward," you whispered, fresh tears spilling down your cheeks. “You let your fear ruin everything. You let it destroy me."
Sunghoon inhaled sharply, his fingers pressing against your skin like he was afraid you would slip away.
“I know," he admitted, voice barely above a whisper.
And then, as if he couldn’t help himself, his hands moved again, thumbs tracing over your cheeks, smudging the mascara-stained tears without a care that his fingers were getting stained too.
He was looking at you now. Really looking at you.
Even with tear-streaked cheeks, even with mascara smudged against your skin, he thought you were beautiful.
You always had been, and maybe that had been the scariest part of all.
He exhaled shakily, his forehead finally pressing against yours.
“I was so focused on all the responsibilities I had," he whispered, eyes fluttering shut, “that I forgot the most important one was right in front of me."
You. It had always been you.
And for the first time in forever, he stopped fighting it.
His hands trembled as he pulled you close again, wrapping you in his warmth, as if trying to make up for every second he had spent pretending you didn’t exist.
His heartbeat that was once steady, always controlled, was frantic against your cheek, like his body itself was betraying him, exposing everything he had kept hidden for so long.
“I’m sorry," he murmured against your hair, his voice soft, stripped bare of all the indifference he had once worn so easily.
Again.
“I’m so, so sorry.”
And again.
“I’m sorry."
Each word landed like a plea, an ache.
His hands clutched at the fabric of your dress, fingers curling against your back as he buried his face into your shoulder. His breaths were uneven, his hold desperate like he was afraid that if he let go, you’d slip through his fingers for good.
You squeezed your eyes shut, the feeling of his regret pressing against your chest like a force you weren’t sure you could withstand.
“I really hate you," you whispered, voice unsteady, and you felt the sharp inhale he took against your skin.
But you didn’t move away. Neither did he.
“I know," he murmured. He didn’t argue. Didn’t try to make excuses. He just held you.
You swallowed hard, fingers gripping the lapels of his suit. “I understand you more than you think."
A breath passed between you, thick with everything unsaid.
Slowly, hesitantly, he pulled back just enough to look at you, his hands moving from your back to cup your face. His thumbs brushed over your cheeks, wiping away the tear-streaked trails, smearing the black mascara that had run down your skin more than before.
His hands were shaking.
His fingers, stained with the remnants of your pain, trembled as they held you.
But he didn’t stop.
“You do?" His voice was so quiet, so uncertain, it almost broke you all over again.
You nodded. Because you did. You understood.
You had always known Sunghoon was never just the eldest son of his family, never just the heir, never just the perfect pureblooded Alpha everyone expected him to be. He carried burdens he never spoke of, expectations that weighed him down like chains.
And you understood now, you understood that loving you, wanting you, was the one thing he had never been taught how to handle.
Sunghoon exhaled sharply, his forehead nearly knocking against yours as he leaned closer, the warmth of his breath fanning across your lips.
“Can I kiss you?”
The words sent a violent shudder down your spine. Your breath caught, your heart twisting painfully in your chest.
Because this moment, this hesitation, this vulnerability in his voice—was not the Sunghoon everyone else knew.
This was the boy who had spent so long running. This was the boy who had finally stopped.
“It doesn’t mean you’re forgiven,” you murmured, even as your fingers curled against his chest.
For the first time that night, Sunghoon laughed. Soft. Shaky. Breathless. But real.
“I know,” he whispered, and then, slowly, finally, he closed the distance.
His lips met yours, and the world stopped spinning.
The first press of his lips was soft, like he was still afraid, still unsure if he deserved this, deserved you.
But then you exhaled against his mouth, a shaky breath that tasted like surrender, and something inside him snapped. The hesitation was gone.
Sunghoon’s hands, still cupping your face, tilted your head just enough for him to deepen the kiss, his lips moving against yours with a hunger that bordered on desperation. His body caged you in, pressing you against the cool wall behind you, but all you could feel was him—his warmth, his scent, his everything—surrounding you, consuming you.
His grip tightened. One hand slid down, fingers grazing your jaw, your throat, before curling around the small of your back and pulling you in.
Closer. Not close enough.
A small gasp escaped you, and Sunghoon swallowed it, exhaling a sharp breath against your mouth before chasing your lips again. His movements were rougher now, more frantic, like he was trying to pour every unspoken word, every regret, every missed moment into the kiss.
Like he was trying to prove something. That he was sorry. That he wanted you. That he needed you.
His other hand tangled in your hair, tilting your face up further, deepening the kiss until you felt dizzy, breathless—like you were floating, like you were falling.
And god, maybe you were. Maybe you had been all this time.
Your fingers fisted his suit, clinging to him. His lips, now hot and insistent, barely gave you a second to breathe—like he was terrified that if he pulled away, even for a moment, you’d disappear.
But you weren’t going anywhere.
You melted into him, letting yourself get lost in the moment, in the way his body trembled against yours, in the quiet, choked noise he made when your fingers finally, finally slid up to his hair.
It was intoxicating—the way he kissed you—like he was trying to make up for every second he had wasted, every touch he had denied himself, every moment he had spent pretending he didn’t want this.
Didn’t want you.
Your lungs burned, your heart pounded, and yet neither of you pulled away, unwilling to break whatever fragile, breathless thing had formed between you.
Sunghoon made a strangled noise against your lips before reluctantly—so reluctantly—he tore himself away just enough to rest his forehead against yours, his breath ragged, his lips red and swollen.
His eyes, dark and dazed, fluttered open to meet yours.
And then, barely above a whisper, voice wrecked, he murmured,
“Stay.”
A single word, but it held everything. A plea. A confession. A promise wrapped in desperation.
Your fingers tightened in his suit. “I’m not going anywhere, Sunghoon.” Your voice was steady, but thick with emotion. “Even when you push me away. Even when you try to pretend I don’t exist.”
His hands, still cupping your face, trembled. “Never again.” It came out like a vow. Like a prayer.
His thumbs brushed over your damp cheeks, smearing what remained of your ruined mascara. His grip on you didn’t loosen—if anything, he pressed his forehead against yours, inhaling deeply, as if he was making sure you were real.
The silence stretched between you, heavy, but not suffocating. Not anymore. Then, suddenly, he straightens—“We need to fix you up.”
You blinked. “What?”
Sunghoon pulled back slightly, scanning your face, your tear-streaked cheeks, the smudges of black under your eyes. Then, without another word, his fingers curled around your wrist, tugging you toward the restrooms.
“The female restroom is that way,” you pointed out, confused.
“I know.”
Your steps faltered. “You’re not allowed in there.”
Sunghoon scoffed, barely sparing you a glance. “As if I’m letting you out of my sight again.”
Your heart flipped.
Before you could protest, he pushed open the door, dragging you inside with him. The moment it clicked shut, he turned to you. “Up.”
You blinked. “What?”
Sunghoon rolled his eyes before gripping your waist and lifting you effortlessly, placing you onto the cool marble counter like you weighed nothing.
You gasped. “Sunghoon—”
But he was already turning to the faucet, pulling a Dior handkerchief from his pocket. You watched, breath caught in your throat, as he ran it under the water, fingers tightening around the fine cloth.
And then, with the utmost care, he turned back to you.
Your knees brushed as he stepped between your legs, his touch impossibly gentle as he cupped your face, tilting it slightly. The wet fabric pressed against your cheek, cool against your overheated skin, and Sunghoon—god, Sunghoon—wiped at the tear stains, the smudged makeup, his fingers brushing over your skin like he was handling something fragile.
Something precious.
You couldn’t stop staring.
The way his brows furrowed in concentration. The way his jaw clenched whenever he came across a particularly stubborn stain. The way his lips pressed together—like he was trying to hold back words he wasn’t ready to say.
The way he touched you. Like you were his. Like you had always been his.
Your heart pounded against your ribs.
And when he finally, finally met your gaze again, his own eyes filled with something unreadable—something raw—you realized, with stunning clarity, that you had never really stood a chance against Park Sunghoon.
Not then. Not now. Not ever.
A shaky exhale left your lips.
He was still staring at you, drinking in every detail, like he was memorizing the way you looked, the way your lashes trembled, the way your lips parted as if you had something to say but didn’t know how.
“Take a picture, it’ll last longer.” His voice was quieter than usual, but the tease was still there, laced with something softer.
You blinked, startled, feeling heat creep up your cheeks. “What?”
His lips curled slightly, but there was something about his smirk—something less sharp, less guarded. Something that made your pulse stutter. “You were staring.”
Your stomach twisted. Of course, he would notice. Your first instinct was to scoff, to roll your eyes, to dismiss it like you always did—but before you could, you felt it. The shift.
Your scent spiked—not in distress, not in discomfort, but in something else. Something sweeter.
The scent of honey and lilacs curled around him, delicate yet intoxicating, a confession wrapped in something neither of you had the words to say.
Sunghoon inhaled. Slowly. Deliberately.
His lashes fluttered for the briefest second, his fingers tightening just slightly around yours, before his smirk faded entirely.
And then, wordlessly, he leaned in.
He didn’t hesitate. Didn’t second-guess.
His lips found your forehead, pressing into your skin with the kind of tenderness that made your breath catch in your throat.
And he stayed there. Lingering. Savoring.
His breath was warm, brushing against your temple, the tip of his nose barely grazing your hairline.
You didn’t move. Couldn’t.
His thumb brushed over your cheek, the corner of his lips twitching slightly. “Come on,” he murmured, voice still hoarse.
You barely had time to process it before he moved, guiding you off the counter with his hands firm at your waist, catching you when your balance faltered.
But he didn’t step away. Didn’t loosen his grip.
Instead, his fingers threaded through yours, locking them in place as if letting go was never an option. You blinked up at him, breath uneven.
“You ready?” His voice was quieter now, softer in a way that made your breath hitch.
You swallowed, throat tight. Then slowly, you nodded. And just like that, he pulled you with him. Hand in hand.
The warmth of his palm was steady against yours, fingers locked. It wasn’t just an absentminded touch, wasn’t something he would let go of the second someone looked too long.
No, this was different. This was him choosing you. Claiming you as his mate. And the second you stepped out, the change in the atmosphere was immediate.
Silence. Then whispers. A sea of murmurs spread through the ballroom like wildfire, voices hushed yet urgent, their curiosity thick enough to suffocate.
Heads turned, eyes widened, people stared.
Alphas. Betas. Omegas.
They looked, and looked, and looked. Their shock crackled through the air like static electricity, palpable in every held breath, every barely concealed gasp, every sharp glance exchanged between one another.
You could feel their questions hanging in the air, unspoken yet deafening. Was this real? When did this happen? How did this happen?
Their gazes burned into your skin—some filled with intrigue, others laced with disbelief, and a few even brimming with something close to envy.
Because this wasn’t just anyone walking out of a room hand in hand with Park Sunghoon. This was you. And Sunghoon? He didn’t even blink.
He didn’t falter under the weight of their stares, didn’t acknowledge the whispers that carried his name in hushed, scandalized tones.
No, he just walked.
Back straight, shoulders squared, head held high. As if this had been the plan all along. As if this was exactly where he was supposed to be. And with every step forward, the hushed murmurs only grew.
Some Alphas scoffed—exchanging skeptical glances—as if trying to convince themselves they weren’t impressed. Some Omegas straightened, eyes wide with a mix of admiration and disbelief. Others, Betas included, simply watched, unable to look away, their expressions unreadable.
But none of them mattered. Not to you. Not to him.
Sunghoon’s grip on you remained firm, and even as the weight of the room threatened to crush you—even as the world outside of this moment blurred into nothing but an afterthought—one thing became blindingly clear.
You weren’t walking behind him. You weren’t trailing after him, waiting for him to decide when to let go.
No, you were right there, beside him. Right where he wanted you to be. And for the first time in a long, long time, you weren’t afraid to be seen.
Sunghoon shot a smirk over his shoulder before tugging you even closer, his grip on your waist effortlessly firm. Your hands barely had time to react before his fingers slipped from yours—only to be replaced by the steady warmth of his palm pressing against the curve of your hip.
The moment you reached their designated table, all conversation died. The six boys stared, mouths slightly open, like they had collectively short-circuited.
“What the fuck?”
The words came from Sunoo, cutting through the silence. He blinked once. Twice. Then leaned back in his chair, hand over his chest like he had just witnessed a crime.
For a second, nobody spoke. Then, slowly, as if processing what he had just seen, Sunoo exhaled and shook his head in mock devastation.
“I feel like a proud dad,” he said, voice thick with fake emotion. “My boy finally grew a pair.”
Jake choked on his drink. Jay slapped the table. Ni-ki let out an actual wheeze, gripping his stomach like he physically couldn’t handle it.
Meanwhile, Sunghoon just sighed, clearly regretting every life choice that had led to this moment.
“Shut up,” he muttered, shoving Sunoo’s chair with his foot.
“Oh no, no, no,” Sunoo replied, shaking his head. “You don’t get to shut me up after making us sit through weeks of your bullshit. You brooded for so long.”
“You were insufferable,” Heeseung chimed in, still recovering from his initial shock.
“Actually unbearable,” Jake added.
Ni-ki snickered, nudging Jungwon. “Tell me I’m lying.”
Jungwon exhaled through his nose and pinched the bridge of it, like he was physically restraining himself from joining in. Instead, he turned to you.
“I respect you so much,” he said seriously, nodding. “For putting up with this.”
You smiled awkwardly at first, not really sure what to say. But then you caught the way they all looked at you—not like a stranger, not even like someone new. No, they knew you. Maybe not personally, but definitely through him.
Sunghoon had been avoiding his feelings, but he hadn't been quiet about them, either.
“I wouldn’t say patient,” you admitted, finally finding your words. “I just… didn’t want to force anything.”
Jay clicked his tongue, shooting Sunghoon a look. “You’re lucky she even gave you that chance, man.”
Jake leaned forward, resting his arms on the table. “You do realize you can’t run forever, right?”
Sunghoon groaned, dragging a hand down his face. “I wasn’t running.”
“Bro, you practically had track shoes on,” Ni-ki deadpanned.
Heeseung smirked. “But at least you were smart enough to stop and follow.”
Just as Sunghoon was about to retort, a flurry of movement caught everyone’s attention.
Across the room, Sunghoon’s sister, along with Heeseung’s mate and Jungwon’s mate, almost ran over to you, practically shoving through the crowd. Sunghoon barely had time to react before his sister skidded to a stop in front of the table, eyes blown wide.
“When did this happen?!” she demanded, breathless.
You blinked. “Uh… a few minutes ago?”
A sharp gasp.
“Oh my god,” Heeseung’s mate clutched his arm, her face pale as if she might actually pass out.
Heeseung sighed and started fanning her with his hand. “Breathe, babe. Breathe. You knew this would happen eventually.”
“Did I? Did I really?” she shot back, eyes still locked on you and Sunghoon like she was watching the finale of a long-running drama.
Jungwon’s mate wasn’t any better. She was bouncing slightly on the balls of her feet, excitement thrumming through her whole body. Jungwon, ever the responsible one, subtly reached over and stole her champagne glass before she could drop it.
“This is insane,” she whispered, eyes wide. “Like, historical. I need a moment.”
But while that mess was happening, Sunghoon’s sister was not celebrating the way the others were. No, she was glaring directly at Sunghoon, hands on her hips, looking like she was about to throw hands.
“You—” she started, voice rising.
Before she could even think about launching herself at her brother, Sunoo—who, unfortunately for Sunghoon, also happened to be her mate—stood up and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her back.
“Alright, alright, let’s not start a scene, love,” he said smoothly, voice light but firm.
She squirmed against his hold. “I just want to talk to him—”
“Liar,” Sunoo deadpanned.
“Park Sunghoon, you forced the poor omega to accept you as your mate, didn’t you?” she accused, jabbing a finger in his direction.
Sunghoon blinked. “Excuse me?”
“Yeah! You probably made (Y/N) feel like she had to accept you just because you’re all high and mighty—”
Sunoo sighed and pulled her back against his chest, locking both arms around her now. “Hoon, just let her get it out of her system. She’s been waiting for this day for too long.”
You stifled a laugh, shaking your head. “I actually said yes willingly, if that helps.”
Sunghoon’s sister froze. “You did? Like… willingly-willingly?”
“Willingly-willingly,” you confirmed, amused.
She blinked. Then sighed dramatically, leaning into Sunoo’s hold. “Well… okay. But if he screws this up, I will come for him.”
“Noted,” Sunghoon muttered.
Sunoo patted her head like she was an over-excited puppy. “There, there. You’ll survive this.”
Sunoo shot Sunghoon a smirk over her shoulder. “But man, you’re never living this down.”
Sunghoon groaned. “I hate all of you.”
Jay grinned, raising his glass. “Love you too, man.”
Sunghoon let out another sigh, but despite his grumbling, his hold on you was steady as he guided you toward an empty seat.
With ease, he pulled the chair out for you and waited until you sat down before moving to adjust the trail of your gown, making sure it was neatly tucked away so no one—especially him—would step on it.
The entire table had fallen eerily quiet.
It wasn’t an awkward silence. It was the kind of silence that felt like everyone was holding their breath, watching something unfold before them in real time, something they never thought they’d actually witness.
Even as Sunghoon straightened up, his focus remained on you. His eyes scanned your face with the same attention he always gave to important things, searching for anything he might’ve missed.
Apparently, he had missed something.
Without a word, he reached out, the pad of his thumb brushing against the edge of your eye, carefully swiping away the faintest smudge of mascara that had escaped his first attempt.
Your breath hitched.
But the Alpha wasn’t done.
Satisfied with his work, his fingers barely hesitated before they moved to tuck a loose strand of hair behind your ear, letting his knuckles graze your cheek ever so slightly. The touch was brief, but it was enough to send a wave of heat rushing to your face.
You swallowed, pulse slightly unsteady, but managed to send him a grateful smile. “Thanks.”
Sunghoon hummed in acknowledgment, seemingly unaffected by the entire exchange as he finally settled into his own seat.
He exhaled, relaxed for the first time that night, before slinging an arm around the back of your chair—or maybe it was your waist, you weren’t even sure anymore. His fingers brushed against your side absentmindedly, like it was the most natural thing in the world.
And yet, the silence remained.
It was as if the group wanted to soak it in, to relish what they had just witnessed before fully reacting.
“I know they’re fated mates and all that,” Ni-ki mumbled, voice tinged with disbelief. “But this is shocking.”
“Right?” Jay breathed out.
“I never thought I’d live to see Sunghoon be so…” Jake trailed off, gesturing vaguely in Sunghoon’s direction.
“Domestic?” Heeseung guessed.
“Whipped,” Sunoo corrected.
Sunghoon let out a long, suffering sigh, tilting his head back against his chair. “Can you all just shut up?”
“Fuck no,” Sunoo said, smirking. “We’re never shutting up about this.”
Jake lifted his glass in mock toast. “To Sunghoon, for finally pulling his head out of his ass.”
Ni-ki followed suit, raising his drink with a grin. “To (Y/N) for somehow handling his brooding for weeks and still willingly agreeing to be his mate.”
Sunghoon groaned, muttering curses under his breath, but his arm around you didn't move.
As the evening stretched on, your table of eleven had finally started to settle. The once chaotic energy mellowed into something softer—comfortable, easy.
Some of the boys were a little tipsy, their words slurring as they tried to argue over something completely irrelevant. Others remained to themselves, quietly nursing their drinks, letting the night wind down at its own pace.
But Sunghoon? Sunghoon was right beside you.
His arm had never left your waist, fingers idly tracing patterns against the fabric of your gown as if he needed the reminder that this was real. His other hand was laced with yours, his grip firm.
He held you like he wasn’t planning to let go anytime soon. And the scent—his scent, coffee and leather tinged with a lingering warmth—wrapped around you, mixing with your own like they belonged together.
You let yourself relax, melting into his hold as the voices around you became distant background noise. Sunghoon exhaled softly, shifting just a bit so he could rest his chin against the side of your head. It wasn’t something anyone else would really notice, but you did. You noticed the way his thumb brushed against your knuckles, the way his heartbeat was steady and slow against your back.
The rest of the table was lost in their own little worlds, some caught in their own quiet moments with their mates, others too caught up in conversation to pay attention.
Heeseung sat comfortably with his mate curled up against him, her head resting against his shoulder as he absentmindedly played with her fingers, their hands intertwined.
Jungwon was just as affectionate, his mate tucked against his side as he nursed a drink in his free hand. Unlike Heeseung, whose touches were slow and casual, Jungwon was openly doting, reaching up every so often to tuck a stray hair behind her ear or brush a kiss against her temple.
Sunoo, of course, was a little more dramatic with his affection. His mate—Sunghoon’s sister—had been sulking in his arms for the past several hours, still processing the events of the night. He cradled her easily, stroking a soothing hand over her hair as she grumbled into his chest.
“I just wasn’t prepared, okay?” she whined, her voice muffled. “This all happened so fast.”
Sunoo hummed, ever patient.
“You don’t understand.”
“I do, though.”
“No, you don’t.”
Sunoo rolled his eyes, pressing a kiss against the top of her head. “Fine, you win. I don’t.”
Meanwhile, Ni-ki was watching everything unfold like it was his own personal drama series. His eyes darted between all the couples, mouth slightly open in exaggerated disbelief. “Damn couples,” he muttered, half to himself, half to Jake, who only chuckled.
Sunghoon straightened, rolling his eyes. “Can I have a moment?”
“No,” Sunoo deadpanned, still holding Sunghoon’s sister against his chest. “You wasted weeks brooding. This is our moment too.”
Jake let out a loud laugh. “Yeah, man, we had to sit through so much.”
“I still have secondhand trauma,” Heeseung added.
Jungwon stole the champagne glass from his mate’s hand as he nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, you just buried your face in your free hand, overwhelmed but undeniably warm inside. But before you could even fully process it, you felt his eyes on you, watching the way you tried to hide your flustered expression.
A low chuckle rumbled from his chest, and before you could react, he leaned in slightly, his voice dropping just for you. “You better get used to this,” he murmured, “because you’re gonna hear a lot more of this for a very long time.”
A very long time.
Forever felt like such a long time, but maybe it was worth it when you finally had your Alpha within arm’s reach.

𝕽𝖊𝖒𝖒𝖎𝖈𝖐 | 𝕾𝖎𝖓𝖓𝖊𝖗𝖘 𝕸𝖆𝖘𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖑𝖎𝖘𝖙
Hello!
I'm in my production phase. Request are closed for now, many of them are waiting!
Ryan Coogler's movie, Sinners, was recently released. The digital version is wonderful but I recommend it to anyone who still has the opportunity to see it at the cinema because it is a whole other emotion.
Every character is well-developed. Sammie and his voice are truly a gift from heaven, Stack and Smoke had me drooling from start to the end, and then there’s Remmick.
Remmick, like every great movie villain, caught my attention, and his desperate yet manipulative side kept me on edge the whole time. So I decided to write some obscenities about him.
Below you’ll find my works, which I will update from time to time.
English is not my first language, but I still try to do my best with it.
Whoever among you would like to be mentioned in and for my upcoming projects, please leave a message under this post ❣️

hey...uhh soo like I was thinking you could write a short thing like.. bakuogu and his girl are doing a school project and she says kat...I don't think this is gunna work for us.. i think we need to break up- sqeezes, and bakugou thinks they are actually breaking up.. but the whole time she was talking about the project.. like..just somthing wholesome and a bit funny to me.. yk?
Hii sorry this took so long ive been busy and im not rlly a writer so i had no clue how to approach this so i hope its good and what you were looking for!!
Masterlist
The dorm common room was quiet except for the scratch of pencils and the occasional frustrated groan from Bakugou.
“Ugh,” you muttered, flipping through yet another page of notes. “This whole project is a mess.”
Bakugou, seated beside you, arms crossed and eyebrows furrowed, glared at the stack of half-finished poster boards like they had personally insulted him.
“We’ve been at this for hours,” he muttered. “It’s fine. We’ll just blow the rest out tomorrow morning.”
You sighed and set your pen down. “Kat…”
“Hm?” he looked up at you, waiting.
“I don’t think this is gonna work for us.”
Bakugou blinked. His whole body stilled. “…What?”
“I just think it’s not clicking, y’know? Like maybe we’re not as good a team as we thought,” you continued, voice soft but serious.
His jaw tightened. “Tch… so that’s it? You’re giving up on us just because of one dumb project?”
You paused, squinting at him. “Wait. What do you think I’m talking about?”
Bakugou’s scowl deepened. “Us, dammit! You said— ‘this isn’t gonna work for us’— what the hell else would you mean?!”
You stared for a second… then burst out laughing. “Katsuki! I meant the project! Like, the concept? The volcano and the cardboard city? It sucks! I wasn’t breaking up with you!”
Bakugou’s face went red in a flash. “Hah?! The hell kinda way is that to word it?! Who starts a sentence like that?!”
“You!” you giggled, nudging his arm. “You’re the dramatic one, remember?”
He grumbled something under his breath, arms still crossed—but you caught the tiny smile he was hiding.
“You’re an idiot,” he muttered, ears still pink.
“And you love me.”
He rolled his eyes but didn’t deny it.
You were still giggling when Bakugou snatched the pencil from your hand and tossed it onto the table.
“Hey!” you protested, half-laughing, half-whining.
“Shut up,” he muttered, but there was no heat behind it. His eyes were still a little wide from earlier, still slightly red around the edges like he was holding back more emotions than he knew how to handle.
You tilted your head at him, smile softening. “You really thought I was breaking up with you?”
He grunted. “It sounded like it, okay? Don’t look at me like I’m some kinda dumbass.”
You reached over and took his hand, threading your fingers through his, warm and sure. “You’re not a dumbass, Katsuki.”
He didn’t say anything at first—just gave your hand a light squeeze, eyes flicking down to where your fingers fit perfectly in his. Then his voice, low and a little rough: “You scare the hell outta me sometimes, y’know that?”
Your smile widened. “Me? Scary? That’s rich coming from you, Mister I-explode-first-ask-questions-later.”
Bakugou snorted. “Tch. Yeah, well. Doesn’t mean I wanna lose you over a dumb science project.”
You leaned in and kissed his cheek, quick and soft. “You won’t. Not unless you somehow manage to blow up the dorm during this thing.”
A tiny smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. “No promises.”
You both laughed, and somehow, the broken cardboard volcano and the crumpled poster didn’t seem so bad anymore. It wasn’t perfect—but neither were either of you. And that was kind of the point.
“Let’s ditch the cardboard,” you said. “We’ll do a digital presentation instead. Less mess.”
Bakugou nodded. “And less chance of setting off the smoke alarm.”
He tugged you a little closer and rested his chin lightly on your shoulder, voice low. “Next time, start with ‘this project sucks’ instead of ‘we need to break up.’ Got it?”
You grinned. “Got it. Wouldn’t want to traumatize my boyfriend again.”
He kissed the side of your head. “Damn right.”

I FINALLY bought a digital copy of Sinners and wanted to highlight a few other cinematography choices I really loved besides that tracking shot of Lisa Chow. The first is the camera language with which the White (and passing) characters are introduced and how it creates a unique sense of racial dread.
In her NYTimes article "The Condition of Black Life Is One of Mourning, poet Claudia Rankine pointedly describes the daily strain of anti-Black racism:
"Anti-black racism is in the culture. It’s in our laws, in our advertisements, in our friendships, in our segregated cities, in our schools, in our Congress, in our scientific experiments, in our language, on the Internet, in our bodies no matter our race, in our communities and, perhaps most devastatingly, in our justice system. The unarmed, slain black bodies in public spaces turn grief into our everyday feeling that something is wrong everywhere and all the time, even if locally things appear normal."
This quiet but unrelenting feeling that something is wrong and could go wrong hovers over Sinners, the movie playing with our (visual) expectations of the many ways racist violence can suddenly strike at the whim of its White characters.
From the establishing shots of Sammie's sharecropper home to the plantation fields to the prison chain gang, we know that this a world where White characters can act without impunity. The violent legacy of slavery continues well beyond its official end, which we can see from the endless white rows of cotton in the foreground and background connecting each scene to the next, the overseers' silhouettes haunting the edge of the frame.
So when a White character physically enters a scene, we immediately feel dread, hyperaware that they could choose to be dangerous and mete out violence at any time just because they can. The introduction of Hogwood and Mary are good examples of this.
As Smoke and Stack wait for Hogwood to arrive to sell them his property, the camera stays trained on a narrow road that snakes behind the bend. There's low visibility because of the use of a wide shot and its duration is a beat too long. The Twins aren't sure how the interaction will go with this White man, and we the audience are forced to sit in that uncomfortable (but routine) tension with them.
And their wariness is justified because look at how Hogwood gets out of the car, his gun front and center. He's a threat on arrival and flaunts that power (e.g., that intentionally placed "boys").
Side Note: I might be stretching but that utility pole is almost cross-like, no? Possible reference to a KKK burning cross?
And despite Mary's deep connection to Stack and the rest of the Black community, she too chooses to be a danger and we can see this based on how she's visually introduced.
Her figure stands in the background, blurred because of the depth of field. There's something ghost-like about her appearance, which I'd interpret as symbolic of how as a White passing woman her past sexual relationship with Stack can still haunt him given the South's anti-miscegenation laws.
The tension of the scene ramps up as Mary approaches, the intimacy of the close-up shots anxiety-inducing. Although she is justified in how upset she is at him, this move is completely reckless given the optics. As @mosaic-briar observes in their analysis of Mary:
"White women have some of the most historically violent relationships to Black men that goes from before Emmitt Till to the data surrounding discipline in schools...Mary's incapability to recognize how much danger she was putting Stack in by yelling about their sex in the middle of the street telegraphed for us everything we'd need to know about how far she had processed her own identity."
This is a meeting between former lovers who care about one another but Mary's White femininity is still lethal even if she doesn't mean it to be. What a smart way to communicate the capricious but destructive power of Whiteness.

⸝⸝ please? ┈ csb.



⸝⸝ ABSORBED in your studies, you could barely even spare soobin an ounce of your time, leaving him fighting and desperate for your attention. but when an idea strikes, perhaps the two of you can find a way to make it work after all.

short note ... surprise surprise! so ermmm i tried to . write smut again !!$% idk,, i think i went too far with the "slowburn" part T_T plz do let me know what you think !!!
midterms were creeping closer, and so here you were, slumped over your desk as if the weight of your endless notes, both digital and handwritten, had pinned you in place. the dim light of your laptop cast long shadows across the pages, highlighting every scribbled word and underlined phrase.
your back ached, your legs were numb from sitting too long, and the faint buzz of fatigue pressed against your temples. still, none of it was enough to pull you away. the thought of a failing grade lingered like a dark cloud, pushing you to study harder, longer, and with a desperation you couldn’t ignore.
you were so deeply engrossed in rewriting your notes that everything else seemed to fall away. the steady hum of traffic outside your window and the occasional creak of the house barely registered.
your phone sat beside you on the desk, its screen lighting up over and over, but you didn’t notice. messages stacked one after another, calls came and went, and still, you didn’t even spare it a glance. the name on the screen was always the same—soobin. he didn’t stop, his persistence evident in the flurry of notifications that went unanswered.
but what actually managed to pull you out of your trance was the sudden, sharp knock on your door. the sound echoed through the quiet room, startling you enough to make your head whip towards it, breaking your focus entirely.
for a moment, you just stared, your brows knitting together as you tried to figure out who it could possibly be at this hour. letting out a small sigh, you pushed back your chair and stood, the stiffness in your legs reminding you just how long you’d been sitting. slowly, you made your way to the door, dragging your feet a little as exhaustion clung to you.
when you opened it, the last person you expected to see was soobin himself.
but there he was, standing in front of you with an expression that was both determined and oddly relieved. before you could even ask why he was here, his hands found your waist, pushing you back into your dorm then pulling you close in one swift motion. and the next thing you knew, his lips were on yours in a kiss so sudden and eager that it left you completely stunned.
your eyes widened comically as your brain scrambled to process what was happening. the warmth of his hands on your waist and the familiar scent of him were almost enough to make you forget everything, but the shock won out. “soobin...!” you managed to squeak, breaking away as you placed your hands on his chest, pushing him back gently but firmly.
you quickly closed the door behind you, leaning against it as you stared at him with a mixture of disbelief and annoyance. your glare wasn’t particularly intimidating—he was clearly unfazed—but you tried anyway. “dude, what the hell do you think you’re doing?” you hissed, your voice low but sharp enough to convey your frustration.
soobin, though momentarily surprised by your rejection, let out a long, exaggerated sigh before trying to close the distance between you once more. “don’t call me ‘dude,’ we literally just kissed. now, where were we—” his voice dripped with teasing charm as he leaned in again, his confidence seemingly unshaken.
before his lips could meet yours, you placed your hands firmly on his shoulders, stopping him mid-movement. your face twisted into a clear expression of annoyance, and you pushed back slightly, glaring at him. “hey, cut it out! i’m not in the mood to mess around right now!” your tone was sharp, though tinged with the frustration of someone desperately trying to focus.
soobin only laughed, the sound soft and infuriatingly carefree. ignoring your protests, he gently pried your hands from his shoulders and brought them down, his palms quickly finding their way to your cheeks.
his thumbs brushed lightly over your skin, the warmth of his touch almost making you falter. “you can’t be serious,” he murmured, his voice dipping into a whisper as his gaze locked onto yours. “you’re never not in the mood for this.” with that, he leaned in again, his intentions clear and unwavering.
but this cannot happen, not right now, at least. the thought hit you like a splash of cold water as you wriggled out of his hold, stepping back and shaking your head. why was he suddenly acting so clingy? “i-i’m being serious...! don’t you have exams to study for too?” you stammered, desperate to regain some semblance of control over the situation.
soobin tilted his head slightly, his expression softening for a brief moment before his lips curled into a mischievous smile. “i studied enough before coming over,” his voice trailed off as his gaze darkened, a hint of something unreadable flashing through his eyes.
stepping forward, he grabbed your wrist firmly, his hold just tight enough to send a jolt through you. “besides, i thought you loved spending time with me,” he added, his voice low and smooth as he pulled you closer with little effort.
though his actions might have left you breathless on another day, all you could do now was roll your eyes. “oh, please. just because we’re fuckbuddies doesn’t mean you get to barge into my place and disrupt me from my studies,” you shot back, your tone dripping with exasperation.
that’s right. that was the setup with soobin—fuckbuddies, friends with benefits, casual partners, whatever label you chose to slap on it. it was simple, uncomplicated, no strings attached. there were no expectations, no deep feelings, just two people who enjoyed each other’s company and a good fuck when the mood struck.
it was supposed to be easy, a little escape from the chaos of everyday life, a way to blow off steam without any pressure. at least, that’s what you told yourself when you both agreed to it.
but right now? you were anything but relaxed. you were deep into studying, drowning in deadlines, and the last thing you needed was him barging into your space and pulling you away from your studies.
soobin laughs at your attempts to brush him off, his chuckle light and teasing as he leans in closer, his eyes glinting with mischief. “you know you want it too, don’t be a hypocrite.” his words were enough to make you feel a wave of heat rush to your face, though you’re not sure if it's from embarrassment or frustration.
before you can say anything else, he pulls you into his arms with surprising gentleness. you can feel his heartbeat, rapid and strong against your chest, as if the closeness between you both made him as eager as you’d ever seen him. soobin leans closer, his lips hovering just a breath away from yours.
but just as you thought he was about to kiss you, he pulls back, turning on his heel and heading towards your bedroom. you’re left standing there, your hand still outstretched, his absence already making the air feel colder. but he then tugs on your hand, dragging you along with him.
the moment you both enter, you pull your hand away from his grasp, feeling the weight of your exhaustion settle in. “soobin, please. i really need to study. i can’t—you know how i feel about failing remarks…” your voice comes out more pleading than you expected, the seriousness of your upcoming exams sinking deeper in your gut.
soobin stops for a moment, his expression softening, though his playful grin never quite fades. “i’ll help you study afterwards, i promise,” he says, his tone almost coaxing as he gently wraps his hand around your wrist once more. the warmth of his touch is enough to make you falter for a moment, but you hold your ground, trying to focus on the bigger picture.
you sigh, your fingers pressing against your temple as the weight of the stress pulls on you. you’re too worn out to give him the earful he deserves, too consumed by the looming exams to even think of giving him a proper lecture.
but the word "help" slipping past his lips does strike a chord deep within you.
without saying another word, you went and walked towards your desk. grabbing your laptop and binder, you walk over to your bed, setting them down with a soft thud. soobin watches you curiously, his brow furrowing in confusion.
his eyes follow your every move, his head tilting slightly as if trying to piece together what you’re doing. soobin opens his mouth to ask, but you cut him off before he can say anything.
“help me study then, if you’re so eager.” you say, flipping open your binder to a page covered in equations and math problems. you glance at him briefly, noticing how his gaze falls on the page, eyes skimming over the numbers and symbols.
soobin scoffs, a small, amused smirk curling at the corners of his lips as he crosses his arms over his chest. “you know i’m not... well-versed on stuff like this. why are you asking me for help?” his voice carries a teasing tone, but there’s a hint of mockery in it too, as if the idea of him being useful in this situation is laughable.
you let out another exasperated sigh, unable to hide the frustration bubbling in your chest. without much thought, you tap the bed next to you, signaling for him to sit. “not that kind of help, dumbass. something else,” you mutter, your voice sharp but laced with a hint of tired amusement.
soobin raises an eyebrow at your response but doesn’t hesitate to sit on your bed anyway. his back presses against the headboard as he crosses his legs, a casual posture that contradicts the curiosity in his eyes. he watches you expectantly, waiting for you to elaborate, but you’re too busy grabbing your things, not giving him the chance to speak.
you set the notebook and your laptop down beside him, your movements smooth but determined. then, without a word, you climb onto the bed, positioning yourself in front of him. when your eyes meet his, there’s no doubt left—your expression is set, your intentions clear.
“okay, you want to fuck, but i want to study. so… why don’t we make the best of both worlds?” your words were deliberate, like you’re proposing a deal that’ll benefit you both.
soobin just stares at you for a moment, his lips curling into an amused smile, but there’s also a flicker of surprise in his eyes. he raises his brow again, clearly intrigued. “and how are we going to do that exactly?” he asks, his tone playful but with a hint of challenge.
you smile at the glimmer of curiosity in his gaze. “it’s simple. but first..” you let the words hang in the air, drawing out the tension.
but before soobin can protest or ask for more details, you lean in, finally closing the distance between you both.
your lips find his in a kiss that’s soft at first, just a hint of heat lingering in the contact. one of your hands sneaks up into his hair, your fingers tangling in the strands as you deepen the kiss. the suddenness catches him off guard, but it only takes a second before he responds, his hand moving to rest on your waist, the energy of the moment shifting into something more intense.
soobin reciprocates the passion, urgency laced through the press of softness against him. any level of space that could exist between you and him diminished from existence, the need for skinship being the only thing running through his mind.
the kiss was unrelenting, heated, each movement mirroring the tension building between you both. you could feel the intensity of the moment, his touch growing more assertive, drawing you in deeper.
you didn’t even notice his legs spreading apart to accommodate you, your body instinctively making you sit in between them. it wasn’t until that slight movement reminded you of what you were supposed to be doing that a small part of your brain snapped back to reality.
without breaking the kiss, your free hand moved downwards, finding the growing ache beneath soobin’s sweatpants. your fingers and your palm pressed and teased him through the fabric, earning a delicious moan from him that vibrated against your lips.
soobin was the one to pull away, his eyes darkening, and for a brief moment, you see a flicker of surprise in them. his lips are parted slightly, his breath ragged as he lets out a soft groan, the sound barely audible.
"really? so quickly?" he breathes, his voice hushed but laced with amusement. his eyes hold yours, a teasing glint in them, but there’s no hiding the desire building within them. the question had a joyful lilt, but the way his body reacts betrays his words. his arm wraps around your waist, pulling you even closer, and you feel the tension rising again as his gaze never leaves yours.
you hummed, your hands moving to hastily pull down his sweatpants, a certain glint in your eyes as you did so.
“oh,” a response soobin could not keep in, his breath nearly dying in his throat, surprise palpable in his features as he follows your actions. he takes a moment to regain his bearings before helping you remove the rest of his undergarments while he feels the excitement grow from the sudden change of pace.
he pulls you in for another kiss, determined to make it escalate into something more this time, his hands gently cupping your face as if grounding himself in the connection.
but before soobin got the chance to do just that, you pull away from him with a playful tut, teasing him gently.
“don’t be so impatient.” you scold him in amusement, words holding no real bite as you relish his growing embarrassment. you strip yourself from your shorts, slipping off the flimsy piece of clothing as you acknowledge his gaze that traces all over your curves. face flushed, soobin feels a small throb when you situate yourself back between his legs.
when you look up to finally meet his gaze, you held him by his chin, “listen, this is going to be our agreement; i sit on your dick, then you don’t distract me while i study. do we have a deal?”
soobin looked at you with wide eyes, a small, mischievous smile tugging at the corners of his lips. he gave a little nod, the look in his eyes making it clear he was fully on board with the plan.
"i don't think there's any downsides," he says with a light laugh, his voice airy and teasing. he leaned in and placed a small, quick peck on your lips, his smile growing even more.
you rolled your eyes, exasperated but amused. this was the nth time today you’d had to do it, but it didn’t stop you from replying with a smirk, “okay, good. now, be quiet or i’ll kick you out.”
wordlessly, you turn around, your back now facing soobin as you grab your laptop and notebook, setting them in front of you. then, without warning, you lift yourself up again as you slowly sank down onto soobin’s cock, sucking in a breath as you try not to react too much to the sudden stretch.
soobin lets out a soft moan at the action, electricity shooting up his body as he feels your warm walls take almost all of him at once. his eyes are locked on to your figure, then to your laptop, a curious expression on his face. he leans forwards slightly, peering over your shoulder and trying to look at your notes, but it's futile. he can't make out the words through all of the haze.
he could already feel his composure wavering, and so as a way to ground himself a little, with one hand gripping the sheets below him tightly, the other making its way to your thigh, slowly massaging it with gentle circles, trying to calm his racing thoughts.
you furrowed your eyebrows, sensing his movements, and without even looking at him, you swatted his hand away. “i said no distractions. i’m studying,” you muttered, your focus unwavering as you went back to rereading your notes.
soobin whimpers a bit, but his hand does as he’s been told and retreats from your thigh. he instead places it back in his lap, curling his hands into soft fists as he attempts to keep himself occupied and to resist the temptation to touch you again or buck his hips up.
it was quiet for a while, except the occasional turn of a page, typing here and there, and the poor boy behind you shifting in his position. you had started to actually read some of the notes in your laptop, but of course, with soobin occasionally moving, and his cock brushing against all the right spots without him trying, it was rather difficult to maintain focus.
"you’re not actually going to study the whole time… right?" soobin suddenly asks, his tone shaky and almost petulant. his voice broke through the quiet, and you could feel the irritation—and something else you didn’t wish to name—start to bubble up within you.
“i will. now stop moving and talking too much, it’s distracting.” you hiss as you lean back a little, effectively taking more of soobin in, the tiny bit of friction eliciting a moan from his lips.
soobin’s face flushes with a deep red color, eyes immediately shutting as he lets out a breathy whine. his hips stutter a little, his hands trembling just the tiniest bit as they come over to hold onto your hips tightly.
“come on, please,” he whines, his tone soft. he sounds almost pathetic. “please, i…” soobin bites his bottom lip, his mind a hazy mush.
he hardly sounds coherent to himself, and even if his mind could comprehend it, he was more than certain that he’d be ashamed of how much pride he was letting go just to have you. with his voice squeezed to a pathetic plea, he shakily exhales, “i need you.”
“no. we had an agreement, and so you have to wait.” you reply coldly, your tone firm and adamant, making it clear that you were set on focusing on the task at hand. but despite your sharp words, with the way he begged so sweetly... the flutter in your stomach betrayed you, your heart racing a little faster than usual.
soobin lets out another long, sulky whine at your words, but he still does as told again and stops moving in your lap, opting instead to lean his weight against the headboard and look down at you, his eyes half-lidded as he watches you read some of the notes silently.
this was tougher than he had initially expected. no, actually, it was torturous. soobin was starting to think this agreement isn’t as beneficial to him as he first thought it would be…
the minutes seemed to stretch and warp, each one dragging on longer than the last, turning into an agonizing experience that was almost unbearable. it was as if time itself had decided to punish him, to make him wait, to force him to endure this ever-growing ache in his body that refused to be ignored.
his skin was burning, hot to the touch, and the feeling only worsened the longer he stayed in this position. every muscle in his body ached, tense and wound up so tightly that he could almost feel the strain in his bones.
soobin glanced over at you every few moments, your focus unwavering as you sat there, your attention fixed on the laptop screen in front of you. you were completely absorbed in your work, occasionally typing or flipping through pages, completely unaware of the struggle he was going through.
growing more and more sour by the minute, soobin knew he couldn’t wait long at this rate. he whines softly, his voice strained with frustration, and his breathing grew heavier, just enough to make it obvious that he was struggling. his movements became more restless, shifting from one position to another, his body practically vibrating with the need for attention.
he let out a small, breathy sigh, deliberately making it louder than necessary, his chest rising and falling with each slight gasp. his eyes flickered towards you, hoping you’d notice the subtle signs of his impatience, but you were too focused on your notes to give him any acknowledgment.
"dude. be quieter," you snapped, your patience wearing thin, yet you didn’t even spare him a glance.
soobin's face flushed bright red at the sudden chastisement, your words making his skin crawl with want. his teeth dug into his bottom lip, trying to suppress a whimper that threatened to escape. the effort was clear in his eyes; he was trying his best not to annoy you further, but the longer he held back, the more frustrated he became.
"i-i'm sorry. i’ll try..." he replies meekly, not daring to defy you, his hands gripping tighter on your waist to keep himself from fucking into you like he so desperately wanted to.
surprisingly enough, soobin manages to compose himself somewhat after that.
his body was still trembling with an undercurrent of tension, muscles wound tight and every inch of him screaming for release. but despite the discomfort, he’s determined to hold on, to keep still, and to control his breathing.
it’s a battle of willpower now, and for the first time, he begins to wonder if he should just put an end to this himself. the ache was almost unbearable, and his thoughts are becoming a jumbled mess of frustration and want.
he leans forward slightly, his lips parting as he opens his mouth to speak, ready to let out another whiny protest or maybe even beg for your attention. but just as he’s about to say something, you shift—just a slight movement, barely noticeable at first—but the effect on him was immediate.
soobin bites down hard on his bottom lip to hold back any noise, but even so, a whimper still escapes from his lips. unable to hold back, he starts to rut his hips a little against you, his hands moving to now grip your thighs.
"i-i can't," he whispers, his voice strained and shaky, as if he's on the brink of losing control. "i… i just can't anymore.. please, please, i-" his voice breaks, the desperation evident in every syllable. his chest heaves as he breathes heavily, eyes wide with a mixture of pleading and helplessness. "i can’t take it anymore,"
you let out a small gasp as you could feel him beginning to move inside you, making you ball your hands up into fists as you fought to urge to moan and give into his advances. you purse your lips as you place a barely controlled hand on his thigh, “stop moving, or i really will kick you out.”
soobin lets out a pitiful whimper at your words, his head lowering again. "but…!" he tries to argue again, unable to stop himself anymore, but he stops himself, too afraid of actually being kicked out as you warned. and so the trembling boy just settles himself, panting and squirming underneath you, while he waits for you to let him move.
soobin’s lips trembled slightly as he mutters again, his voice barely a whisper. “how long do i... have to wait exactly...?” there’s a quiver in his tone, a hint of vulnerability that betrays his growing desperation.
you don’t respond.
he swallows hard, his throat dry, and the silence between you both feels suffocating. his body is rigid, his hands trembling slightly in his lap, and his frustration builds with every passing second.
he shifts in his seat, trying to make himself comfortable, but it’s impossible. soobin’s body was too tense, his mind too chaotic. his thoughts trail off as the discomfort grows, the pressure in his chest and the urge to just screw it all and just fuck you right here intensifying.
soobin bites his lip to stifle a frustrated groan, his gaze dropping to the floor, lost in his thoughts. what am i supposed to do? he wonders, feeling like he’s both trapped and helpless.
but then, an idea hits him.
soobin's eyes flicker with a sudden spark as a thought forms in his mind, unbidden but undeniable. it’s crazy, reckless even, but in this moment, it’s the only thing that feels like it might work. he hesitates, his mind racing with the implications, but the desperation gnaws at him, urging him forward. what do i have to lose anyway?
soobin suddenly leans his head forward, planting a soft kiss on your neck, then another one, peppering your sensitive skin with kisses and sucks, making it all the way up to your earlobe.
this finally catches your attention, as your typing comes to an abrupt pause and your hands still above your keyboard, the sudden break in your concentration hitting soobin like a wave of satisfaction.
“bin, stop it,” you say, your tone firm but tinged with a sharp edge he’s grown so familiar with, your brows furrowing slightly as you turn your head to meet his gaze, still trying to maintain your focus, though the flicker of annoyance (and something else) was evident in the way your lips pressed together.
soobin’s lips curl into a small, sly smile as he hears your words. he could tell he was finally grabbing your attention, and the fact that he could affect you at all sent a strange rush of excitement through his body.
he leans in a little closer, his hand gently resting at the back of your neck, his thumb brushing against the sensitive skin there. the soft touch sends a shiver down your spine, but you try to ignore the fluttering feeling building inside you.
“you want me too, don’t you?” soobin whispers, his voice barely audible over the tension hanging between you two. there’s a slight teasing edge in his words, but also something else—a hint of softness, as if he knows he’s getting under your skin.
you stiffen for a moment, trying to focus on your work, but the feeling of his fingers against your skin makes it nearly impossible to keep your composure. you swallow hard, the weight of the moment slowly starting to affect your thoughts more than you'd like.
“you like it when i kiss..” soobin teases, allowing the anticipation to build up. mischief builds up within him from gaining an upper hand, his voice dipping an octave lower as another kiss was chastely pressed on your earlobe. “..here, right?”
“s-soobin, cut it out….”
soobin smiles as he hears how shaky your voice has become, continuing to kiss along your neck, slowly moving to your jawline. he lets out a little breathy chuckle, whispering into your ear again,
“make me.”
꒰💭꒱
"h-hah—!” soobin's voice cracks, his words tumbling out in a breathy whimper. beads of sweat form on his forehead, his chest rising and falling unevenly. his eyes, wide and pleading, search yours for any sign of mercy, a faint flush spreading across his cheeks as he struggles to hold himself together. “please—i.. i can’t take this anymore…!” fed up with soobin's relentless assault of kisses trailing up and down your neck while you were clearly trying to focus, you finally slammed your laptop shut. the sharp sound echoed in the room, making him freeze mid-action. you turned to face him fully, your expression exasperated but resolute. if he wanted your attention so badly, then fine—you’d give it to him, but on your terms.
and so here you are now, abruptly stopping the movements of your hand, denying soobin his fourth release.
his entire body was flushed a deep red, the poor man's chest heaving as he tries to catch his breath. soobin looks at you, the pleading obvious in his eyes. his lips were slightly parted, his mouth open slightly as he tries to take deep breaths.
"p-please... i-i promise i'll be good..!" soobin gulps as he pleads, his voice trembling and breathless. his eyes were wide and glossy, glistening with desperation, as if he’s clinging to the last thread of your patience. "i... i won’t distract you anymore..! just... please..."
“is that so?” you murmur lowly with a scoff, smirking as soobin lets out another whimper as you squeeze his sensitive cock and flick your thumb ever so slightly on his tip, making his back arch in both pleasure and frustration.
“if you really are good, then i’m sure you can take more, bunny.”
despite his better judgment, soobin nods frantically, his head bobbing with an almost childlike eagerness that contrasts the flush of his cheeks. his breaths come out in uneven pants, his chest rising and falling as he desperately tries to collect himself. he swallows hard, his adam’s apple bobbing visibly, before finally managing to stammer out a reply.
"o-okay... okay, i can take more for you, miss," he says, his voice trembling with a mixture of resolve and vulnerability. his wide eyes meet yours, searching for any sign of approval, as though your acknowledgment is the only thing anchoring him at this moment.
with his confirmation, you offer soobin a sweet smile that makes his breath hitch. your hand began to move with practiced precision, flicking your wrist and rubbing over his sensitive cockhead just the way he likes it, and it elicits an immediate reaction—a stuttered gasp as his body tenses for a brief moment.
"there we go," you murmur softly, your voice carrying a gentle edge of satisfaction. soobin’s head tilts back slightly, his lips parting as his breath quickens again, though this time it’s laced with a relief he’s been chasing. his wide eyes flutter shut, and a faint, almost shy smile graces his lips in response to your gesture.
“thank you.. so much.. hah…” he gasps, his voice trembling with every word. a shaky, almost broken sound escapes his lips, his chest rising and falling with the effort to steady himself. his fingers, still trembling, slowly find their way to your wrist, their touch warm and a little hesitant as he tries to make you move faster. "please... just like that," he murmurs, the words falling from his lips in a whisper, tinged with relief and something deeper.
and when you happily oblige with his request to fasten your pace, soobin lets out a shaky gasp as his hips twitch up, a soft moan passing his lips. he looks up at you with his half-lidded eyes, and lets out a breath, his voice low.
with every glide and jerk of your hand on his shaft, soobin feels his head spin just a little more, reacting to every movement he feels with a pretty moan or a whimper escaping his quivering lips. soobin’s back then arches slightly, his muscles tensing as his breathing grows uneven, sensing his climax approaching, each inhale shaky and shallow. his voice comes out strained, barely above a whisper but heavy with need.
"m-more... more, please... more," he stammers, his words tumbling out in quick succession, each one carrying the weight of his growing desperation. his hands grip tightly at whatever they can find—your arm, the fabric beneath him—seeking any form of grounding as his body seems to betray him, trembling with anticipation.
“more? hm, okay.” you hum, your hand now going up and down his length at an even quicker pace.
soobin lets out a soft whimper at the increased movement, his breathing becoming even more heavy, the sound coming out more like gasps at this point. “a-ah… i think.. i-i’m about to—please… please!” he says with a broken moan, looking up at you with glossy eyes, his vision turning blurry and his mind spinning.
but just as you could sense him about to reach the height of his release, you stop abruptly once more, letting go of his aching cock.
soobin lets out a loud whine as you stop, his body writhing a little in protest. he shut his eyes closed, his chest rising and falling as he tries to catch his breath.
“n-no..! no, not again…” his voice trembles as the words spill from his lips, both his body and his shaft twitching with an almost unbearable ache. he groans, the sound coming out as a mixture of frustration and desperation, his breath ragged as he shifts slightly, trying to ease the tension that’s building up.
“please…” soobin pleads again, his voice barely above a whisper as he tries to steady himself, but the words break with the sheer desperation clinging to them. his tears were threatening to spill as his hand fell helplessly by his side, the weight of his need pressing on him more heavily than before. "it... hurts.." he whimpers again, his lips trembling.
soobin then tries to reach for you with trembling hands, the desperation evident in the way his fingers twitch in the air, as if he can’t bear the thought of being so far away from you. he looks at you with wide, pleading eyes, begging without saying a word, his body unable to stay still.
but you only scoot farther away, crossing your arms in a deliberate gesture that sharpens the ache in his chest. “no. you’ve been bad, and this is what impatient and insatiable bunnies get,” you spat out, your words cutting through the air, colder than the distance you’ve put between you.
the harshness in your tone stabs through him, the sting reverberating in his chest like an open wound, raw and aching. his face contorts in pure agony, the weight of your rejection heavy on his heart. he’s never felt more exposed, more vulnerable, than in this moment, and it overwhelms him in the worst way.
"p-please.. i'm sorry…" soobin stammers, his voice barely a whisper but thick with vulnerability, the tremor in his words making it clear how much this is breaking him.
"i'm—i'm sorry." he pants, trying to jog up to a breath that he knows he will not be able to catch up to just yet. "i'll be... g-good, i promise." his voice sounds pathetic with every word but he supposes that he is under your undoing.
"won't do it again, miss. please forgive me." he sobs out, pleading for something that he already knows the answer of deep down.
“no.” you say firmly and coldly, the word almost like a verdict. the finality of it stings him more than he expected, and it makes him flinch slightly, “now next time, you ought to think twice before misbehaving.”

Synopsis: You wanted to see the auora borealis! After hours of no luck, Mihawk decided to take care of his own boredom and bring your attention to something other than the stars. Pairing: Mihawk x afab reader CW: SMUT MINORS DNI, fingering, mihawk being a little shit • ficmas masterlist • ko-fi • discord server •

The fire crackled in defiance of the night's chill, its amber flames licking at the logs and twigs stacked in the center. You had dragged Mihawk out here, far from the warmth of the indoors, spurred by the hope of catching a glimpse of an aurora borealis.
He had humored you, of course- your fascination with celestial events always amused him. But as the minutes stretched into hours, with nothing but the firelight and your stubborn resolve for company, his patience began to thin. And so, he decided to entertain himself instead.
Somehow, you’d found yourself drawn into his orbit. His hands claimed your waist, molding you to him while his lips grazed your neck, each kiss slow and lazy, as though savoring your impending surrender. A rich, baritone voice murmured against you, “There won’t be an aurora tonight.”
You squirmed, a soft whine escaping your lips as you turned slightly, catching those golden eyes of his that held the flicker of flames in their depths. “You’re just trying to distract me.” You accused, though the complaint lacked any real bite. The sharp nip of his teeth at your jugular sent a shiver racing down your spine, your longing to pay attention to the night sky slowly melting into a different kind of desire.
“Am I?,” he asked, his lips curving into the faintest smirk against your neck. One of his hands slipped beneath your layers, seeking the warmth of your bare skin, while the other cradled your jaw, tilting your face just enough for him to capture your lips in a kiss that melted any desire to focus on anything else but him.
Your protest was feeble, half-hearted as his lips trailed from your mouth to the hollow of your throat. “Mihawk,” you whispered, his name drawn out in a way that made him chuckle against your skin.
“You can watch the stars,” he offered, voice deceptively calm. “I won’t stop you.” Yet, the hand that was under your shirt was now sliding lower, slipping beneath the waistband of your pants, and his lips traveled to the curve of your collarbone. His teeth caught the fabric of your shirt, tugging it aside so it fell over your shoulder, baring your chest to the night and his hungry gaze.
Your breath hitched, a soft gasp filling the air as his mouth lavished attention on your newly exposed skin. Lips, teeth and tongue conspired to steal the stars from your thoughts, their brilliance dimmed by the pull of his touch. His fingers teased lower, tracing the edge of your underwear before daring to dip beneath and swipe at your slit. Your body couldn’t help but arch into him.
His fingers parted your folds to drag along the wetness pooling there. He hummed low in his throat, a sound that vibrated against your neck as his lips continued their exploration of your skin. “So eager,” he murmured, tone heavy with satisfaction.
His middle finger dipped into you slowly and a whimper escaped your lips as he pressed deeper, the digit curling inside of you and finding that spot that made your thighs tremble and your breath hitch. He worked you open with slow, purposeful strokes, each movement designed to unravel you completely.
The firelight flickered against your skin, the flames dancing in time with your growing pleasure. He added a second finger, the stretch deliciously sinful as he pumped into you with a steady rhythm. The wet, obscene sound of his fingers moving inside of you mingled with the crackle of the fire and your breathless moans.
Your hips moved of their own accord, rocking against his hand, chasing the pleasure he offered with ease. His thumb pressed against your clit in a teasing circle, sending a bolt of heat through your already trembling flame. The combined sensations had your attention focused on him, your intent to keep watching the sky utterly shattered.
“Mihawk,” you whimpered, your voice a trembling plea as your head fell against his shoulder. He smirked against your skin, lips moving to capture the shell of your ear. “Look at you,” he whispered, his voice a rough, velvety murmur. “Completely at my mercy.”
His fingers pressed deeper, curling upward in a way that sent sparks dancing behind your eyes. The growing pleasure inside of you crescendoed rapidly, your breaths coming in short, gasping pants as his strokes moved more insistent. Every stroke, every circle of his thumb was done with the intent to see you ruined on his fingers.
And ruined you it did. The release crashed over you, consuming your entire being with a raw, primal ecstasy that had you trembling in his arms. Your nails dug into his shoulders, your cries muffled against his chest as you clung to him. Your body shudders against his hand. He didn't stop, his fingers working to drag out every ounce of pleasure from you, his lips murmuring praises that you couldn’t quite make out through the haze of bliss.
You pressed closer to him, chest heaving as you came down from your high, when a glimmer caught your eye. Blinking, you tilted your head back slightly as you tried to steady your breathing. Your gaze drifted upward, and there it was.
The heavens awakened, spilling greens, violets, and gold across the night sky. The aurora borealis finally emerged, painting the sky in hues so vivid it seemed almost unreal. For a moment, you simply stared, entranced by the phenomenon you had been so determined to witness. And then, with a triumphant smile, you nudged Mihawk's shoulder.
“Look,” you whispered, your voice still shaky. “I told you we would see it.”
His own gaze lifted, and for a heartbeat, he seemed as captivated by the sight as you were. The aurora's shifting colors danced across the sharp planes of his face, softening the features. And when his golden eyes found yours again, they were gleaming with something you couldn’t quite describe.
“You were right,” he murmured, a rare concession from him. Before you could revel in your victory, he leaned down, capturing your lips in a slow, languid kiss. His fingers still rested inside of you, the digits now lazily stroking your oversensitive flesh, drawing a soft whimper from you. The firelight and the aurora’s colors melted together, casting your intertwined bodies in a kaleidoscope of reds, oranges, greens, and purples.
The night sky was utterly breathtaking in this moment, but nothing could compare to the infinite ways Mihawk unraveled you again and again.

i NEED dilf kita.
"thought ya could use this."
preoccupied with your search for a particular name amongst the colorful stack of plastic folders sitting in front of you, you don't notice that your next meeting has arrived until a low, warm voice suddenly startles you from your thoughts.
a disposable cup edges its way into your line of sight, the scent of coffee more than welcome after hours spent in this very spot, and you glance up to meet a pair of honey brown eyes staring down at you.
even without his scheduled parent-teacher conference time slot and his daughter's orange folder now sitting in front of you, you'd have immediately clocked the man standing in front of your desk for natsumi's father based on those eyes alone regardless.
"you must be kita-san," you say brightly, quickly standing up to shake his hand. "that was very kind, thank you."
despite the fact that you spend most of your day wrangling seven-year-olds with arts and crafts and silly voice impressions, you like to consider yourself a professional.
you take your job seriously, truly.
but you do have eyes.
and natsumi's father is, without a doubt and in the most objective sense of the word, a dilf.
kita's wearing brown boots and a pair of worn in blue jeans with a hole threatening its way over one faded knee, splotches of white paint and motor oil in various spots across the denim. his white t-shirt is spotless in comparison, and a red bandana peeks out from the pocket that sits over his heart.
and as you shake his hand, you find yourself distracted by his forearms, by his tanned skin, by the way the sleeves of his t-shirt protest the flexing of his biceps.
your throat goes dry as you tear your eyes away to look at his face instead, though the sight of him pushing back silver hair tipped in black off of his forehead doesn't help matters in the slightest.
he loosely laces his fingers together in front of him as he settles down into a chair, and you're absolutely mortified by how quickly you notice the lack of a band around a particular digit.
"you're welcome," his mouth curves upwards, and it's like a soft, warm kiss of sunshine fluttering against the shell of your ribcage. "and shinsuke's fine."
your toes curl in your flats, lips twitching to mirror his smile as you flip open natsumi's progress folder.

ROI (Railed On Investment)
Dreamcatcher Kim Bora x Lee Gahyeon x m! reader
12.9k words
A continuation of the Dreamcatcher Office series
---
Read on AO3
There are always three guarantees when it comes to working in the office: meetings will always be unnecessary and tedious, you won't have enough time in a workday to get everything done, and somewhere, Gahyeon is getting her brains fucked out.
Your favorite little assistant now has a brand new title and full-time responsibilities, some of which she fulfills without question. But the more things change, the more they stay the same—when her insolent tone creeps up, or she crosses the line with that smart mouth. No matter how cutely she pouts or bats those eyelashes, you can’t exactly let it slide, and you have to remind her about the chain of command, remind exactly where her place is.
Which is usually underneath your desk during a business call, with those perfect lips sealed shut around your cock while you’ve got both hands atop her head to keep your assistant in her rightful place between your legs.
While Gahyeon may have a bigger paycheck and more freedom, she seems intent to exercise some of her former disobedience, thinking her new status can absolve her. Whether it be those tight little skirts a little too short, or work shirts a little too sheer, she seems determined to test every single ounce of the dress code—like it's more of a suggestion than a policy.
Thankfully, you don't have to deal with her alone, because the other half of your dynamic duo has to put up with her shit as well—Kim Bora. Her job description doesn't exactly involve babysitting an office brat, but she’s always willing to dish out any necessary discipline is needed when your hands are tied up by whatever corporate bullshit gets thrown at you.
So that's why, when you return from a meeting with one of the overlords, with a stack of reports cradled under your arm, it isn't the slightest surprise to hear that certain someone whining and moaning all sprawled out on your desk, under no consideration for how loud she is when Bora has two fingers jammed in her wet cunt.
"Oh, hi boss, welcome b-back," Gahyeon murmurs, voice broken by the loud noises she makes echoing when you step back into your office.
"Yeah, welcome back," Bora greets with a sultry grin, her fingers all slicked up and dripping with that fresh, juicy nectar dripping all over the place. "This one, she's misbehaving, you know the drill. And so early too."
Gahyeon shoots an unapologetic glance over at you, and her skirt is all crumpled and slid up, panties to the side, heels kicked off and her feet all resting on the edge of the desk as Bora pumps her fingers in and out, slow and agonizing while you toss the reports onto the desk.
"Do tell me," you sigh, resting back in the comfort of your big office chair, staring down at this beautiful display of lewdness. And honestly, you’re not even sure you want to hear. "What did this fucking brat do now?"
Gahyeon shifts and squirms, each time Bora jams those two digits inside, twisting them slowly and curling right where she needs—punishing and edging out the disobedience all at the same time, making sure there isn't an orgasm until she's earned it.
"That fucking skirt," Bora groans, eyeing her so disapprovingly. "Waltzing around like her ass cheeks weren't hanging out. Little slut wants people to see everything she's hiding."
"That's all? The whole office should be used to it at this point. Surprised she even had a pair of panties to show off today."
Bora offers a subtle chuckle, and she picks up her pace, keeping the same merciless rhythm. You do your best to relax while the room gets all that much hotter, with this blonde, needy girl writhing around helplessly with those hilted fingers pleasuring her.
"Look, I don't care if this brat comes in bare naked, but the higher-ups certainly do. Minji and Siyeon can only do so much, corporate just visited while you were in that meeting and gave me an earful."
"Maybe corporate should get a turn with her then," you tease back, watching as Bora draws her fingers all the way out, only for Gahyeon to struggle at the fleeting pleasure that vanishes in an instant, biting her bottom lip in annoyance.
"Really?" Bora asks, eyes widened in disbelief, and wipes those slick fingers along the inside of Gahyeon's thigh, spreading her pussy lips wide open for her lustful eyes to ogle at. "As much as we know she'd love to get railed by a room full of older men she's never met before, it's not the kind of reputation that we need around here."
"Fuck, Bora, please just make me—"
"Shut the fuck up," Bora growls, staring directly at her as she smacks her palm against Gahyeon's clit several times in succession, a sudden squeal bursting from her loud mouth. "We're not done talking about you, slut. This is all your fault."
"My fault?" Gahyeon asks rhetorically, still shifting and squirming around as Bora drags the pads of her two fingers around the edges of her slippery entrance, avoiding Gahyeon's insistent pushes and buckles. "I didn't do—"
"I didn't ask you for a response, did I?" Bora cuts her off instantly, flicking that sensitive nub hard, and drawing out an obscene groan while those toes curl and Gahyeon tenses up. Those fingers tease the poor girl relentlessly, barely dipping in for an instant, only to make a quick exit before you see the same deft fingers sink back inside, only to repeat the process again and again.
"Please," Gahyeon whimpers and begs. "I can't—"
"Can't what? Can't stop parading around the office like a whore? It's one thing to get bent over this desk on a daily basis, but that doesn't mean we want this pussy out for the whole floor. It reflects on our entire office. "
"Fine, I'll start dressing nicer, just fucking finish the job," Gahyeon tries to bargain, but Bora isn't having any of it, pushing her all the way back, so that her head dangles off the edge and those silky blonde locks cascade over the desk with her. She's so close, so agonizingly close, and her moans turn all wanton and whiny, that heat coiling deep, cunt aching for release—only for Bora to slide two digits out right before she can hit her peak.
"What makes you think you're in any position to dictate that? Do you even know what dressing nice means?" Bora runs her hands up the needy girl’s blouse, before she settles on a spot in the middle of the thin white fabric. With one harsh tug, she rips it open, letting the buttons fly off as Gahyeon's generous breasts spill out, only secured in place by a lacy black bra that barely covers a fraction of that delicious chest.
And in a flash, Bora yanks the material down, so hard that it gives up a fight in seconds, her soft supple breasts spilling out completely free, jiggling slightly as the cool air hits her bare skin.
Gahyeon cries out instantly when Bora kneads those breasts, groping roughly as you're given a front row seat to how aggressively your trusted colleague handles her—how tightly she squeezes the two luscious mounds, teasing those pretty nipples into stiff, prominent peaks.
"By the way, it's that time again," Bora says, continuing to play with Gahyeon's perfect tits while not so much as sparing a glance your way.
"Time for what?" you ask, as the fabric of your pants grows increasingly tight with how hot and heavy the action on your desk gets as she rolls Gahyeon’s swollen nubs, pinching harder and harder before she gives those tits a nice, strong slap that makes the girl yelp.
"Performance reviews," Bora murmurs in the middle of another slap to Gahyeon's other breast, pausing only to grope even rougher, getting two handfuls as they grow more tender with each passing second, every time a palm strikes the sensitive flesh, jiggling from the sheer impact. "Can't believe we're already on a month of being stuck with this brat.”
“What are we even reviewing? All she does is get on her knees or spread her legs. Not exactly worthy of a promotion."
"Hey, I put a lot of work into these fucking blowjobs you get. And I always swallow everything that you give me unless you finish on my face," Gahyeon interjects before letting out a desperate whine once Bora slaps her tits once more.
"Shut the fuck up, brat," Bora hisses out, digging her fingernails into the supple flesh of Gahyeons’s reddened breasts. "Being a cumslut is hardly an achievement. As much as we love ruining you, don't think we can exactly put 'talented at gagging on cock' on a report to corporate."
"That's called eager to please. Doesn't that count for something?" Gahyeon insists, but Bora doesn't exactly agree, or offer much respite, no, her fingers just pinch both nipples at once, earning a shrill cry that reverberates throughout your office.
"We'll see. What I write on this report depends on you," you say, finally standing up to relieve your painful erection that's been trapped in your pants for far too long. Within seconds, you've got the zipper down, clothes piling at your ankles and resting your entire shaft against her pretty face that rests off your desk. In the meantime, Bora keeps aggressively playing with those scrumptious, pale tits, not letting up for a single second as this desperate little toy laps her tongue along your length.
"Let's see how well you can handle this cock, hm?” Bora asks, smacking each of those tits in succession, causing such a beautiful ripple.
Gahyeon has nothing else to offer but more whines in response as those lips part in an instant, allowing your throbbing length to slide past that pout of hers, straight down the back of her throat with just one deep thrust. Both of her hands scramble to your hips, struggling for air as your shaft plunges into those warm depths with no relent. You do all the work, but she’ll gladly play her role, eagerly taking down every inch that you force down with a brutal, unforgiving pace.
To her credit, her eyes tell the story, how much she enjoys this rough treatment while they water with tears from having her nose meet your balls. Gahyeon’s choking continues on repeat while her dainty hands cling onto you, gagging and coughing as you pump her throat full to the limit.
Every single sound has you moaning in response, blonde hair all messy, her mascara running as she gurgles around your cock and savors every moment while her head dangles off your desk. Those fucking lips—lips that look so good absolutely ruined and used, lipstick smeared everywhere along your length, lips that have one purpose, to bring pleasure.
"How's fucking that throat feel? Must be worth a few points," Bora chuckles while groping Gahyeon's breasts, fondling and smacking roughly with no remorse, watching with intrigue as you slam into her warm little throat that constricts so perfectly.
It’s hard to respond, when all you want to do is use this pretty mouth, savoring the pure bliss of those lips locked down around your length, ruining this face like it’s part of your daily routine.
Both you and Bora lock eyes as she offers a particularly vicious squeeze of those breasts, and Gahyeon groans around your shaft when the older girl slides down between those thighs to feast on her neglected cunt so ravenously—unable to properly voice her pleasure with your cock stuffed so far down her throat.
"This fucking mouth is worth all the trouble it gets into, god—it's the perfect fucking toy to dump a load into."
With Gahyeon's breasts freed up, you plant your hands on them, palming both roughly with your length stuffed all the way down, holding yourself there for this incredible sensation of warmth to make that throat bulge from the intrusion.
There's nothing quite like this as you fuck her throat nice and deep, losing yourself to such sloppy gagging as spit trails along her cheeks, the perfect encouragement while you keep your hands full of her pale tits.
“Such a good fucking slut, so desperate for me to fuck your throat—really want a good review, don’t you?” Gahyeon makes every noise imaginable, gurgling out sounds of struggle and gargled gasps, all muffled through your balls slapping against her face. Every plunge past her soft lips makes your entire length disappear, working in unison with Bora devouring that sweet cunt, and you're not sure which sight is better as you roll and pinch her stiff nipples to accompany your ruthless pounding into her wet throat.
But like every fucking time, Gahyeon enjoys every second of it—all this saliva pouring from the corners of her mouth, choking on your length so dutifully, it's beyond pornographic.
An incredible display that’s made better when you peer down your desk to see Bora working her cunt with her expert tongue, and you can only imagine how wet this desperate girl is from the sounds alone. Her hands keep a tight hold on Gahyeon’s creamy thighs, forcing them so wide as she alternates between swirling the tip of her tongue against her clit, slurping around it, or delving straight in her folds, coating herself in those sticky, messy fluids on endless loop.
And with the amount of juices that spill out, Gahyeon is absolutely gushing with arousal and anticipation, so impossible to contain herself as her loud moans stay entirely stifled around your cock—
Only once you finally give her a breather, she gasps for air desperately, spit strung across her face as she stares up at you like the complete mess she is with this smile that spreads across her ruined features.
"If there's one thing she's good at, it's choking on your cock," Bora says in the midst of feasting on her soaking little cunt, head buried in between those thighs. Now, Gahyeon can finally let those moans out freely, as she strokes your cock inches away from her hungry little mouth, eager to get you back in that warmth as she succumbs to the stimulation.
But you’re not ready for her to have this treat again, focusing on those sore tits, tugging her nipples, giving them some slaps of your own to get them bouncing while your hard, aching cock hovers right above that saliva-covered face.
“You like choking on this, don't you, slut? Even more than that spoiled pussy getting filled?"
"Of course, boss—I'd rather have this cock over any promotion," Gahyeon says so shamelessly, her parted lips a mess of drool that looks so perfect. The way Bora keeps devouring her dripping entrance makes her breath hitch in between words, those eyes so desperate and hungry through the tears. "Nothing's better than having a cock in my mouth and a hot load down my throat."
That’s the one thing she doesn’t deserve right now, which is why she isn’t getting anything but these light little slaps with your saliva slicked cockhead all across her face, resting it on her lips while she plants these desperate kisses that get you to groan.
Bora isn’t as gentle as she sucks on Gahyeon’s clit so intensely that her entire body jerks up against the desk, all these messy slurps and greedy licks that make her pussy ache with need as she gets brought closer and closer, drawing out all of those pathetic moans and squeals in between.
"And to think you ever denied being a slut at one point," Bora mutters out while slapping that pretty cunt several times, making her sob and cry out with desperation. "The only reason you haven't gotten fired here is how good that pretty mouth is at making us cum.”
"Hey, I'm good at other things too," Gahyeon insists, voice shuddering. She tries to stroke you in order to get you back down her throat, but you're not keen on that idea, swatting her hands away.
"Tell us then. What else can you do, you spoiled brat?" Bora asks while her tongue laps slowly against her slick folds, up and down the length of her slit, testing her limits while you deny the chance to stuff her throat, smacking those lips with your shaft to gain some relief.
"Besides having you ride my face and emptying these balls? I make your coffee just how you like it every morning and take care of lunch every day. I file all the paperwork and keep things organized."
Bora just laughs. Like this is some grandiose task only she can do.
"So you do the bare minimum and expect praise for it? You think because we use this pretty body of yours that you should get rewarded?" Bora asks, her tongue prodding around, tonguefucking that quivering hole and slipping inside only for a brief moment of unearned pleasure that doesn’t last.
"Fuck! Please, I'm so close—" Gahyeon cries out as she grips the desk's edge, bucking her hips in a desperate manner, but she's denied by Bora's harsh stopping, once again pulling away right at the worst time.
"What do you think, should we let her cum now?"
It’s a question meant for you, despite having the same answer in mind. All this slick wetness around her pretty mouth looks so good as she keeps devouring the poor thing so mercilessly, she can't even respond with proper words—not that anything that comes out would convince either of you.
"Sounds like she really needs it,” you say, looking down at Gahyeon who lets out the most frantic nod. “So no—she doesn’t get to cum until I wreck that pretty little pussy."
Bora shares your enthusiasm while you step out of your pants and boxers, kicking off your shoes and stripping away your shirt while Gahyeon stays completely helpless, no longer a part of this negotiation about when she gets to have an orgasm. Once you’re all naked, you take up Bora's former position at the edge of the desk, pulling her back by her thighs and keeping that useless thong to the side before admiring her dripping pussy just dying to be filled up.
"Have fun,” Bora says, with an adorable smirk across her pretty features as she stays put on the desk, getting her hands all over Gahyeon’s sensitive breasts, playing and pinching harder once you move back and tease that soaking entrance with the head of your cock.
"I think this is my favorite part of her performance review," you say while swiping the head along those messy folds, getting your cock wet in all the abundant arousal that spills out. Then you line yourself up with that beautiful pussy—and sink all the way inside Gahyeon, as your entire shaft disappears into that warm, heavenly cunt.
“Oh my god—“
Her wet walls wrap perfectly, and you start off like you always do, pounding her needy pussy hard without pause from the get go, a sudden, relentless tempo that has her moaning out loud. And fuck, if it doesn't feel incredible, so hot and tight as slick surrounds you from every possible angle as you grab hold of those luscious legs and raise them high on your shoulders.
"Guess she really is worth the trouble, huh? That pussy is her only selling point," Bora says as your thrusts intensify, sliding in and out of that intoxicating heat with ease, your cock spreading Gahyeon’s wet pussy lips further apart as she gets taken just how she begs for. "So spoiled and greedy. You think just because you keep these balls emptied that you deserve a good review?"
"Y-yes, don't I work hard? Always willing to take this cock? Even up my ass?" Gahyeon asks, trying to get words out in the midst of each merciless thrust. Bora pays her little mind, and you can hear the laugh she lets out even through all the moans, getting her hands all over that soft skin as she explores all her favorite parts of that gorgeous body she has access to.
"God, listen to this cock hungry whore talk like she actually puts in work. Getting fucked in that tight ass is part of your job duties," Bora says, swiping her tongue flat across Gahyeon's nipple before nibbling. "Don't forget it takes both our efforts to make you actually useful."
All this scolding does little to deter Gahyeon's warm, greedy little cunt from swallowing you up all the way to the hilt, tightening so wonderfully when you bottom her out. It's so perfect the way she sounds, these needy moans spilling right out as she clenches so hard, desperate to never let you go when you pick up speed and pound away into the welcome heat of her tight cunt.
"Love your cock so fucking much, love the way it stretches me, just want to cum all over it," Gahyeon groans so desperately every time you snap your hips forward, not granting even a moment of respite railing her on your desk. Your rough thrusts make her breasts bounce beautifully, and Bora moves one of her hands down to stroke the younger girl's clit, helping bring her closer to that sweet release that she’ll do anything for at this point as she whines and begs for it.
"Not even a please? Where are your manners, slut? What do you say when a superior fucks your pussy like this?" Bora asks as her fingers work around that swollen bud, her voice silky and smooth as she savors the sloppy squelch of Gahyeon's hot cunt taking your entire length so well.
"Please—please let me cum, sir, let me cum on your amazing cock," Gahyeon whimpers out, and despite being denied earlier, your only plans involve giving her exactly what she needs to get there—because nothing will pull you out of this slick warmth until you've made a creamy mess inside.
You’re both keeping her right on the edge, and the face that Gahyeon makes, you can tell the floodgates are going to burst regardless if she gets permission or not. It only takes a few more sharp thrusts to hit just right, pounding that cunt hard enough to make her eyes roll back as Bora rubs her clit in these vigorous little circles that get her writhing all over your desk.
"Go ahead and cum all over that cock, you selfish little whore," Bora says, almost a demand as she kisses all across her neck and chest as Gahyeon tenses up. She takes your cock better than ever, absolutely helpless while you help bring her dangerously close to that needed release.
It’s almost pitiful how she can’t hold it any longer, not with the constant denial that's pushed her to the brink so many times, and not with the way you've got her folded in half, pounding so harshly from the start.
You give her a nod, and Gahyeon finally gets what she's so desperate for—trembling in pleasure, that pretty pussy convulsing around your shaft like a vice as a delicious gush of wetness floods your cock. The look on her blissed-out face when she cums hard on your soaked length keeps your hips pistoning so greedily, your rough strokes keeping this climax hitting so hard she can barely breathe—
Gahyeon just shakes and spasms while her cunt makes these violent twitches around your entire shaft, holding you hostage in place with moans that just build and build with every deep thrust.
"Fuck, fuck, can't stop cumming, please, sir, don't stop!" She repeats so loudly it's practically a sob, but she gets exactly what she needs—this unstoppable sensation of wetness pooling beneath her, threatening to push you out with every tight squeeze of her slick folds as she spills everything onto you. Bora doesn't stop the assault on her sensitive clit either, coaxing out more and more nectar to fuel your thrusts while you pump that pussy through one long, unrelenting orgasm.
But as good as this feels, and god, does it feel great—you need Gahyeon all to yourself, even if it means ditching your lovely colleague who's done so much to help her get off.
Somehow, your cock pulls free, so, so glistening and dripping wet when she stares at it like a starved little slut. But before she can get any bright ideas, Bora is right there to claim you for herself, leaning over so she can clean you off—just her tongue taking a slow, leisurely drag all up and down along the sides, licking you up before her lips take over.
"Hey—" Gahyeon protests weakly, heaving through these heavy breaths. Bora ignores her, starting with a light peppering of kisses to the head of your cock. Then within seconds, she has that tongue swirling a bit more enthusiastically before wrapping her pillowy lips tightly along your shaft and descending all the way down, humming approvingly on your brat-slickened shaft.
Bora bobs her pretty head up and down, all messy and lewd, slurping up Gahyeon's arousal from off your shaft without even a trace of a gag as she takes you so abruptly into her warm mouth. It’s more of a demonstration, the way she gets so deep, that all you can do is rest a palm on the back of her head while she goes to work, getting so sloppy within seconds.
Once she cleans you enough, Bora pulls her lips off of you, that smile absolutely filthy when drool spills from her satisfied mouth when she glances at Gahyeon, every bit eager to get all filled up again. "Do you want this cock inside your little cunt again or do I get to finish him off?"
Gahyeon can hardly speak, all sprawled out and still overwhelmed from her explosive orgasm, but manages a weak nod. So, without a moment of hesitation, you peel her off the desk, getting rid of this bothersome blouse and skirt, but not bothering with the rest. And then Gahyeon is all yours, at your disposal, in this flimsy little thong with her breasts still spilling out of her bra, all vulnerable and entirely desperate for more—
You don't even have to say a thing when she's turning around and bending over to show the view, squishing her bare tits against the wooden desk and sticking that tight little ass of hers in the air.
A better invitation can’t possibly exist.
"Seems she knows her place after all," Bora says, leaning in to press a deep, lasting kiss to your lips, so you can taste the faintest hint of Gahyeon's arousal before stepping aside to let you work. You give this brat a loud smack on her plump ass, watching how that pale flesh jiggles deliciously in front of you while she’s patiently waiting for the inevitable.
There's little time to waste, and even less time to tease as you sink back in between her cheeks, every inch buried back into that slippery, warm entrance, earning another loud groan when you slam back into her cunt.
"It's the only thing she seems to understand," you say, and grab those wide hips, thrusting deep while pulling her back onto your cock so forcefully that there's no way to ignore each vocal, lewd sound, the wet slaps and desperate whines filling the room.
Bora watches carefully, almost jealous she doesn’t have the full view of how your cock slips out, lingering a moment between each relentless thrust, to plunge all the way back. Gahyeon’s mouth just can't stay silent, each breath more lustful and heavy as she devolves into an absolute mess her cunt so dripping wet with your cock buried as deep as it'll go, whimpering for more.
“Fuck her harder, make sure she knows who’s in charge. Wanna see you destroy that cunt,” Bora orders and leans in, your lips meeting hers once more, tongues intermingling while you don’t let up pounding away, not giving her any mercy in the slightest. "Wish I could have that huge cock tearing me apart again, she can hardly take you like I can."
"Maybe I'll just stop fucking this brat so you can get a turn instead. My cock feels much better in your pussy than it does hers. Always does."
"Hey!"
Gahyeon starts to complain in between moans, but it's quickly cut off by your rough, repeated thrusts, your hips slamming her against your office desk to shut her right up. It’s not the truth, because honestly, there is no comparison between these two perfect women, but you’re not going to let her know that.
"Tempting,” Bora says, pondering your suggestion. “Watching is just as good. I get to look at this pretty little toy take all your cock, how she gets used for what she is. But unlike this useless whore, I can be patient.”
The thought of Bora all spread out on your desk, tits out, bouncing away, dripping with sweat—it makes you fuck the blonde a little harder, much deeper, thrusting over and over again, the grip on those wide hips making bruises like you’re imagining the very thing happening.
“Her cunt is so fucking good, so tight. Guess she deserves this pounding and all my cum then,” you growl, plunging faster with no remorse into her wetness, making those full, plump cheeks bounce against your hips. But you hardly settle into a rhythm before you decide on a different direction, and pull her up off the desk, capturing her arms behind her back and taking a few steps behind to fuck her completely upright.
“Oh my god, fuck, sir, just like that—fucking use me!” Gahyeon pleads, her toes barely touching the floor as your full weight presses into her petite frame, arms hooked around her own to get your body pinned completely against hers.
She's so small compared to you, and from this angle you're able to hammer into her with no trouble, giving your hips total freedom and complete control. There’s nothing for this pretty girl to anchor herself to, so you make her take it all, using her body to the fullest potential as much as you want while those perfect breasts bounce and bounce with each pump.
"Bet she wishes her pathetic cunt could take this as well as mine," Bora giggles, and takes a seat back on the edge of the desk, hopping into position to be a proud spectator. Leaning back, she bites her lip and gets all comfortable in order to enjoy the view, skirt hiked up and panties down to her ankles, showing off that wetness as she spreads those legs, rubbing at that pretty cunt.
"Can't show up on time, but you can certainly be a good little fuck toy,” you say, keeping your eyes locked on how those perfect cheeks jiggle deliciously inches away. “That cunt grips my cock so fucking hard, Gahyeon—do you think you deserve for me to fuck a load into you?"
"Y—yes! So bad, yes!" Gahyeon desperately whimpers, nodding her head frantically, her feet struggling to stay grounded as your thick shaft pistons inside her slick warmth. Her bare ass meets your hips again and again, these hypnotic ripples a constant reminder of how in control you are over her.
"Forgot the magic word, slut. Maybe he should paint that pretty fucking face instead and make you walk out of here without any clothes or dignity left,” Bora says, and the thought is so enticing—but requires restraint that you don’t quite have anymore.
"Fuck, please, sorry, sir—please use my little cunt and dump everything, every single drop of your huge fucking load. Please, sir, fucking cum in my cunt, god, please—" Gahyeon's a rambling, blathering mess, driven to the point of delirium from her pussy getting such a thorough pounding, and it just all fuels your thrusts for more.
"Just a worthless toy for us to fuck, that's all we hired you for isn't it?" you growl into her ear, the harsh sounds of flesh on flesh echoing with every harsh slam of your hips. You do everything to keep Gahyeon steady, filling her with every inch as those velvety walls take your length without protest, clenching hard and dripping all over your shaft.
"Y-yes, sir, please keep using me. Fuck this tight pussy just how you want, empty those balls, I'm only good at getting my holes filled—“
Bora's in her own world, plunging fingers deep into her tight cunt, mesmerized by the view and loving how she's the reason you're fucking Gahyeon’s brains out right in front of her. She loves it—that power trip, and those pretty fingers take full advantage, letting her wetness guide them straight back and forth inside her until the slow squelches from deep within barely become audible over the slapping of your hips and your assistant’s desperate, whimpered pleas.
Gahyeon is nothing short of incoherent right now, tossing her head back against your body and screaming at the top of her lungs, begging you to fill her with hot, sticky cum. She’ll get just that, but only when you’re ready—she'll have to endure this pounding, getting her greedy little cunt used however you deem fit in order to earn her reward.
"God, you're so wet—such a messy fucking cunt. You really are nothing but a warm hole for this fucking cock, aren’t you, Gahyeon?”
Those words piped right into her ears are nothing new to this girl, only adding a new layer of arousal, making this greedy pussy gush around your shaft in the most irresistible of ways. You have to pause between thrusts, giving yourself a long chance to savor at how she drips so much all over you, those glistening lips parted to welcome such an easy entry when you bury yourself into balls fucking deep each time.
"I'm so wet because of your big fucking cock, sir.” Bora can only laugh in between the sinful sounds of her wet fingers sliding so deep within her slippery depths. There’s no discretion here in the slightest, nothing held back about how she lets her fingers dive straight to her core, stuffing that dripping cunt, trying to make up the difference for something far better.
"Look at her, little brat does know how to be formal," Bora says, continuing to fuck herself so shamelessly, like she's jealous of Gahyeon's current position."But I've got a better idea for your slutty mouth."
That smirk is all you need to get the message, as she removes her thong and zips her skirt right off, scooting back on the desk to lay herself bare and spread wide open. You bring Gahyeon right on over, letting go of her body so Bora can guide her head to that dripping entrance.
Gahyeon clearly doesn't mind as she plunges her tongue into Bora's cunt, circling away hungrily as you continue to ram into her tight little pussy. This gives Bora exactly what she wants, her hand settling on the back of the other girl's head. pulling so close to fully smother her between those creamy thighs.
"I want you to eat this cunt just like your job depends on it," Bora orders, getting a handful of blonde locks in the process, tugging without concern. "Because it fucking does."
There's not a moment spared when Gahyeon starts running her tongue up and down along the pink, soaked slit of your colleague’s delicious pussy, and now you’re the one who feels a hint of jealousy. But when you have such a slick tightness surrounding your cock, all of that becomes a trivial matter, ramming into this useless little thing so harshly, to make those cheeks bounce and push her tiny frame against Bora.
"There you go, eat my fucking pussy while I watch your cunt get ruined. Fuck, he's going so hard, can you even handle him this deep?" Bora asks, and strokes a hand through Gahyeon's hair, keeping her thighs firmly locked around her head. And all Gahyeon can offer back in response is muffled cries as she laps up the sweet taste, eager for more.
Bora keeps her gaze on you, her bedroom eyes full of lust as she rides Gahyeon's pretty face, not letting up for a second. "Fuck, can't get enough can you?—little whore will eat my cunt until she passes out If i let her," she says, rocking her hips to grind against that eager mouth, indulging in the endless attention.
She's stuck right between you two, being fucked so senseless she can barely take it, desperate to lick Bora until her mouth goes numb. Through every thrust, she’s lapping up those wet messy folds, savoring every drop she can of that slick sweetness. Gahyeon can hardly manage to breathe like this, suffocated by those perfect thighs, but that certainly won’t stop her from going to town on her boss.
And of course, you don’t let up for a moment, maintaining the same relentless pace to sheathe your cock inside this needy fucking brat, every thrust forcing her right back into Bora who keeps her trapped right there.
"Such a perfect fucking pussy, taking every inch like a good slut," you say, smacking her ass roughly, again and again. Gahyeon clenches so tightly after each hit, each sting lingering far too long, those delicious cheeks turning redder with every strike. She's just a mess beneath you, moaning into Bora's pussy while giving her all, and when you push your thumb into her asshole, those muffled, frantic cries get even louder.
"This is where my cock should be, buried in your ass—but you haven't quite earned that privilege yet.”
Your thumb slides in as deep as you can get, all the way past that tight ring of muscle, stretching her back entrance out before you pull out and leave it painfully empty, bringing back both hands to their rightful place on those sinful hips once again. Gahyeon can’t even protest with Bora’s cunt pressed up against her mouth so forcefully, that blonde mess of hair clutched so tightly between her fingers.
“Who does that slutty fucking cunt belong to?" Bora asks in such a harsh, demanding tone, using the strands wrapped around her fingers like reins to bury Gahyeon’s face deeper against her pussy, practically fucking her face at this point.
And again, the only response comes in the form of pathetic whimpers while trying desperately to keep licking, these sloppy sounds loud and clear as Bora smears her own arousal everywhere on Gahyeon’s features, not even interested in the pleasure, but how utterly debauched she can make her look.
“Need an answer, brat. Asked you a fucking question, didn’t I?”
Drowning in lust, Gahyeon barely manages to pull back, slurred speech following with gasps for air when Bora forces her mouth off for a moment. "B-both. It belongs to both of you—my tight little pussy is just a useless toy for my bosses to use," Gahyeon mumbles out, nearly sobbing as you pound away, using her perfect little body for your pleasure alone.
"Good whore," Bora coos as she shoves that face back between her legs, that greedy mouth finding all the right ways to please. Gahyeon eats her pussy so hungrily, like she’ll simply die if she can’t satisfy her, and when those moans slip out of Bora’s lips louder, it gets you throbbing so hard as you sink in repeatedly to her warm, slick entrance.
It’s quite the sight. The tight grip Bora has on Gahyeon, her nails digging so deep into her scalp while this relentless onslaught of thrusts has you pumping deep—it’s just what that greedy pussy needs, and suddenly you feel a series of impossibly tight clenches, juices flowing all over your cock one more time.
"Greedy fucking slut. Did we even say you could cum again?" you ask Gahyeon, though it's not like she’s going to let that deter her. And certainly, it’s not helping your own case when her pussy squeezes like this, begging for another release.
"S-sorry, sir—couldn't help it, your cock feels too good," Gahyeon says, voice muffled between Bora's full thighs as you hammer into her like there’s only one end to this. She licks through Bora's folds frantically to get back into her good graces, her messy, swollen lips latching on to her clit, slurping on it hard enough to get a loud gasp out of her.
"If only you worked as hard as you eat me out, maybe we wouldn't have such a problem on our hands,"Bora says, losing composure and letting her head roll back. There's only so much of this you can handle, Gahyeon between those succulent thighs while you rail her from behind with everything you have left to give.
One more smack on that plump ass, and the grip on her hips gets so rough as you reach closer to the end, forcing every inch in that slippery, slick cunt and brace for impact.
"Gonna fucking cum—your tight fucking pussy is gonna make me cum," you groan out, digging your fingertips into her pliant, soft flesh as this overwhelming pleasure gets even stronger with each bury into that dripping wet heat. "God, I'm going to pump this useless cunt full, you selfish little brat—"
"Fucking fill her, fill that little whore up with every single drop. Make that cum drip out of our pretty fucking toy.”
You punctuate your words with a sharp, hard slam as Gahyeon crumbles yet again, unable to warn when another intense orgasm hits, causing that silky tightness to become impossible to resist. Bora isn't so far behind either, hips bucking up, thighs gripping the younger girl's head tightly, a muffled sound from where Gahyeon's buried face-first between them—the only sign of a proper climax happening.
After these two collectively fall apart, you're the only one left standing.
So you indulge yourself, pumping so roughly into the warmth of Gahyeon, the endless tightness surrounding you in wetness as you give in completely, plowing into her until your final thrusts, those last few moments where you lose all control and fucking unload—
And with Gahyeon bent over so beautifully like this, mouth full of Bora's cunt, you fill her greedy fucking pussy to the brim, firing your release so deep—spurt after hot spurt until there’s nothing left for you to spill inside. Through every lingering moment, your hips keep up with the mess you’re emptying into this cunt, fucking every drop inside as deep as it'll go, and savoring the way those slick walls demand you stay buried for as long as you can possibly manage.
It’s a beautiful fucking picture.
"What a perfect little cumdump we've hired ourselves…" you murmur under your breath, all winded and exhausted as you ride out this intense high. Only when it dissipates do you slowly pull your cock out from Gahyeon’s messy cunt, filled to the absolute brim.
You’re greeted with a beautiful flood of hot sticky warmth that leaks out, a white mess that trickles down the inside of Gahyeon's thighs, glistening in the warm office light. "Guess we'll have to keep her after all."
Breathing heavily, Gahyeon stays bent over your desk, about ready to collapse. She doesn't say a word as Bora gingerly rolls off the desk to shuffle behind her, running fingers through those beautiful, cum-filled pussy lips that plunge deep in her well-used entrance. Bora collects a taste, turning around and sucking her fingers so lewdly.
"You really filled her up nicely," Bora says with the faintest of grins. "She might even get a positive review if this keeps up."
Gahyeon stays collapsed against the desk, the wooden surface the only thing keeping her upright, body almost limp as she plays with her cunt so shamelessly for the pair of you to view. Bora leans over, guiding her head to kiss her, tongue delving deep into her mouth to sample just how delicious their mixed juices must taste. "What do you say when your boss dumps a huge fucking load inside your pretty cunt?"
"Th-thank you sir," Gahyeon manages to say, completely out of breath and still clinging onto the desk.
"So you do have some manners,” Bora says, returning behind Gahyeon, spreading her cheeks wide like she wants to see more of your load drip out. “What do you think, ready to work on that performance review?"
There's not much you have to say, running your hands over Gahyeon's sweaty, exhausted figure, tracing fingers up her spine that sends a shiver. "Employee takes orders well. Easily persuaded. Works hard. Especially when it comes to pleasing her boss with her tight fucking cunt..."
"Really don't think I can add that last part in,” you respond, giving Gahyeon one last smack on her ass that makes more cum leak out.
"Rephrase it then," Bora says with a cheeky laugh and pulls you close, giving your lips a tender kiss. "Guess we should get dressed before someone needs us. It's almost time for lunch."
"Can we order delivery again?" Gahyeon suggests as she hobbles over to collect her discarded garments, still struggling to hold any real semblance of balance. "I can barely feel my legs..."
"What do you think? Minji won't mind putting it on the company card again," Bora says.
"Why not? Pizza sounds good."
“Pizza it is.”
✦ ✦
After an extended lunch break, you’re back in the office, sitting in your office chair ready to fill out Gahyeon’s performance review. Of course, Gahyeon can never sit still—she’s compelled to sweeten the pot, with her shirt tossed away and your pants down to your ankles, on her knees underneath your desk, bobbing her head so frantically between your legs.
You say little while most of your focus is on this report, filling in whatever you think fits, what exceeds expectations and what needs improvement—somehow trying to keep it related to work while this needy girl slobbers on your length.
Bora's still there, perched up on your desk, legs crossed, using her phone to catch up on emails and indulge on pizza, paying no attention to what’s happening while Gahyeon has every inch stuffed in her pretty mouth.
"Must you gag so loudly? You're distracting me,” you murmur out, and she glances over with a playful smile on those devilish lips, because you both know that's what you like to hear, despite your protest that falls on deaf ears. If only there were a rating for how good Gahyeon sucks dick, you ponder—you’d give her full marks.
"It's part of the fun," Gahyeon giggles, barely pulling her mouth off your hard, throbbing cock, just to push those lips back down further than before, gurgling and slurping lewdly. "Besides, you love when I choke on your cock, don't you, sir?"
"Only because it gets you to shut up. I swear it's the only way I can get any work done here."
You glance over briefly from your computer monitor, observing as the other woman in the room completely ignores this depraved show that's going on only a few inches away. Without a single sound she reads over and replies to emails, taking a sip of cola to wash down a third slice of pizza. "Our Friday morning staff meeting starts at noon now. It's been moved up. Something about how Minji won’t be back from her business trip until then.”
With her heels dangling freely in the air, Bora shoves the rest of her slice in her mouth before picking back up where she left off, continuing with her phone. It’s not exactly subtle, the distraction she creates, her skirt short enough to catch your eye, with that pretty glistening pussy in plain view, knowing full well you can stare with her panties long forgotten somewhere in this room.
And while you try to create positives out of thin air for this report, the ravenous slurps and groans from underneath your desk somehow get louder in your ears, as the suction of Gahyeon’s soft lips sliding up and down your cock fight for your attention.
“Does that mean I don't have to come in early?" Gahyeon asks, popping her lips off your shaft with a thick string of saliva still connected.
"Absolutely not," Bora says, irrationally annoyed at such a question. "You still have to bring us breakfast and coffee first thing in the morning. Don't even think about sleeping in."
Those messy lips pout as she forces herself back down onto your length, gurgling loudly and choking in a way you know is deliberately over-the-top, as if she's protesting through a mouthful of dick. You ignore it, and turn your attention back to the screen, because you need to add just the perfect closing remarks to this performance review, even while your favorite blonde fucktoy gets so sloppy and obscene on your throbbing cock.
You should get a raise for this alone, for finding praise for Gahyeon’s work where there is absolutely none.
"And wear something nice. You can have your tits out here all you want, but cover up when you're outside this office. I don't want to get scolded again because you can't hide that tight little ass of yours,” Bora adds, picking off a pepperoni on one of the last few slices left in the box.
Gahyeon can hardly reply coherently, and honestly, it sounds more like she's gagging on your cock just to spite Bora—she's heard this exact lecture three times this week already.
"Maybe everyone at the meeting wants to see my tight little ass hanging out the back of the skirt I'm wearing tomorrow, have you considered that?" Gahyeon whines, lips making a trail of spit when she pulls off for only a second before she plunges right back down, lips down to your base so fast it makes your head spin.
Bora suddenly looks up with a grimace. "Are you getting uppity with me, Lee Gahyeon? See what happens if you show up at that meeting dressed like a slut."
With her sinful lips far too busy for a response, Gahyeon keeps that warm fucking mouth sucking away, because she knows better not to respond again—for once. It's for the best, for both of you, because you don't have the energy to reprimand her now, as you finish the last few paragraphs. One click of the send button, and it's finished, straight to Minji who’ll look over it after she comes back from her trip.
Now that you’ve checked that off, you push your chair away to give Gahyeon more room as she follows your cock, those wet lips working their magic without anything to get in the way of this heavenly blowjob.
"Gahyeon—"
"Yes, boss?"
"Those tits, Gahyeon. Your mouth is great, really great—but show me what those fucking tits can do. Remind me why I just gave you a good review.”
"Yes, sir. Of course." And with that she undoes her bra, letting the lacy fabric slide down her arms before tossing it across the room, straightening her back and guiding your cock between her heavy breasts. There’s hardly a moment to breathe when she squeezes them together around you, enveloping your cock with all this soft flesh.
"How's that, sir?" Gahyeon breathes out softly, looking for approval while she uses the warmth of those tits as they smother and massage every last inch.
The constant stimulation around your sensitive shaft is pure perfection, and even better is when she gets into this rhythm, bouncing those tits with her palms to fuck your cock between them. You lean back in your chair and sigh, enjoying this moment with your undivided attention.
"Fuck, this feels incredible. Those tits are fucking perfect, keep going—“
Gahyeon smiles, and keeps the friction going, so soft and slick every time she spits in between her abundant cleavage, picking up speed to keep you trapped. The sight of this is more than enough to lose it—your cock disappearing between those beautiful fucking breasts, feeling that heat every time Gahyeon brings her tongue back into play, so desperate to please you.
"Do I get to skip the meeting if I use my tits to make you cum?"
Bora scoffs at that, turning her gaze downwards, offended even at the thought of that question. Without even looking up—not that you’d ever have a reason when you have this view in between your legs, you don't dare answer the question. Because if you had the option, you'd absolutely tell her yes.
So with this devilish eye contact, Gahyeon keeps pumping her tits, sliding your cock between them like she'll do anything to get out of that meeting. But Bora’s not exactly too keen on being ignored, as she tosses her phone on the desk, watching how this show plays out.
"Are we bribing our bosses now, Lee Gahyeon?" Bora asks, crossing her arms with an icy glare that she flashes. "Such a bold little thing—like you don’t miss out on enough work as is. Did you forget we're both in control here? You're not the only one whose tits can make this cock explode."
Gahyeon isn’t sure how to respond to that, lips quivering, realizing the look on Bora's face is more than a little serious. But that doesn't stop her from using her cleavage to the fullest, determined and focused, intent on doling out as much pleasure as you can take. In the corner of your eye, you can see Bora sitting up, tugging her shirt off, followed by her bra to display those equally wonderful breasts ready to get involved in whatever fashion she sees fit.
"Lee Gahyeon, you're done." And just like that, the younger girl comes to a halt, tilting her head in confusion.
"B-but, Boss—"
Bora raises an eyebrow to that objection. "How many times have I warned you about talking back? Get off his cock. Now. I want you to clean this place up instead, it’s a fucking mess."
"W-wait, that's not fair—" She looks to you for support, but you’re not interested in getting on Bora’s bad side. Sooner or later, all that defiance has a breaking point.
"Better do what she says, Gahyeon, you know how she gets. If Bora says you're done, then you're done—" Bora smiles at that, glad she has her partner-in-crime on her side for this. And reluctantly, Gahyeon eases off your cock with disappointment written all over her face, making you sigh a little when the warmth of those incredible breasts gets taken off you. She gathers up all the clothes scattered on the floor, moping a little when she steps out from the desk to put them back on.
"And organize all our documents when you're finished. Put them away in alphabetical order. By date too."
"Y-yes ma'am."
Bora takes up her former position, dropping to her knees as she reaches for your cock with the intention of finishing the job. One of her delicate hands rubs your thighs, ensuring the stiffness in your cock never leaves for a second. "Mine now."
"Little harsh, wasn't that?"
"Harsh? She's never going to learn otherwise,” Bora says, stroking your cock that only has one destination in mind. “Ever since she's gotten fully hired, little brat’s gotten a little too comfortable getting what she wants. Or do you want her to talk back all the time?"
"Bora, you can't just send her off like that—and it's not a competition."
"No, it isn't—is it? Not when my tits are clearly bigger and better.“
You’re not sure how to react to that, but you don’t get a chance to when she leans forward to slip you in her mouth, sucking on the head of your cock while continuing those tender strokes. Somehow, you’ve almost forgotten how divine Bora’s blowjobs are, how soft those lips are, a stark contrast from the rough facefucking that Gahyeon always begs for.
"We both know I'm better than that useless slut anyway..."
Her mouth is so warm and wonderful, taking your cock deeper and deeper with each push until she can take every inch, filling up her throat entirely without any struggle, almost showing off to Gahyeon how it’s done. And yeah, she might give better head than your younger assistant, but there's always going to be something special about what that brat does that makes her irresistible, that innocent face mixed with all the lust in her eyes.
But then Bora pulls her mouth off your cock with a pop, and you know there's only one place left for it to go—trapping it between her supple, equally impressive breasts, where the weight of them surrounds your cock in blissful friction. It feels just as good, maybe even better, as those sizable tits make your cock ache for more, the way Bora pushes them tight around you like she never wants to let go.
"So what about this? My tits feel just as good, don't they?" Bora asks, finding a rhythm as all this soft flesh squeezes around the entirety of your length. She's far too confident for her own good, that's for sure, but that's exactly what you enjoy about her, that and indulging in that hot, tight body of hers.
"I do love your tits, Kim Bora. How long has it been since I last saw my cock trapped between them?"
"It has been a while. Your cock looks so good between them," Bora sighs, smirking away as she keeps this tight seal of warm flesh between her cleavage, hands cupping them around your aching shaft. "Too long if you have to ask. But you're usually too busy eating my ass to ever want to fuck my tits."
"Can you really blame me? That ass is too perfect, Kim Bora—the way you always bend over for me at the copy machine, what else am I supposed to do but bury my tongue inside?”
She can’t help but beam at the praise, as you lean back in your chair, relaxing to bask in the moment while Bora uses this glorious pair of tits to please your needy, throbbing length. But even while your cock gets perfectly sandwiched between them, you can’t help but feel a little bad for Gahyeon, how quickly and forcefully Bora dismissed her from what she adores—but she only has herself to blame for that. By this point, she should know better not to push those buttons. Consequences have never been something Gahyeon is good at dealing with.
"See, you've barely missed her anyway. Not when these tits must feel so fucking nice," Bora coos, and picks up the pace just enough, bringing so much delicious pressure to squeeze your cockhead every time her breasts massage from base to tip.
“God, that feels so good—you really need to do this more often.”
“Maybe I will. Really takes the edge off work, doesn’t it?”
You nod, unable to vocalize anything else as you glance around the room to see what Gahyeon has done—but surprisingly, the place looks even cleaner than you've seen it, filing cabinet pulled out while she sorts through various papers and documents stored, floor free of everything that tumbled off the desk earlier.
Your attention isn’t stolen for long, as your gaze turns back to those soft, heavenly breasts that Bora offers so freely, sliding your cock between them like it’s her job to make you moan. "Do you want me to make you cum like this? Cum all over my big fucking tits?"
An enticing offer to say the least, and not an thing easily to ignore—so hard to refuse when she gives your cock this level of attention, but still, there's something more you want, something that even surpasses the stimulation these amazing breasts give. Bora senses your hesitation, slowing down her strokes while you work through the indecision. “If this isn’t doing the trick, then I can jump on your dick and finish you off that way. Bounce these heavy things in your face while you cum inside me?"
"You really spoil me sometimes, Kim Bora. That sounds better, much much better..."
"Well, you deserve to be spoiled after dealing with this ungrateful brat all week. Now you can just relax and let me take care of everything… I'll make you cum so hard you forget all about her." That's all the convincing Bora needs, giving your cock one more moment of this delicious friction as she pulls away and gets undressed, skirt dropping, panties gone within seconds.
Then comes your favorite part—you get to witness the glory of that sinful, naked body, those enticing curves, with thighs so deliciously thick, and that glistening cunt, smooth and shaven, just ready to wrap around your throbbing cock until it milks you dry.
Bora positions herself to straddle your waist in your office chair, lining up your cock at her wet, warm entrance, more than eager to ride your length to completion. "I’ve missed this huge cock stretching me. Fucking brat had it for too long."
You chuckle. "Didn't I fuck you yesterday? In the copy room while Gahyeon was printing out everything for our meeting this week?"
"If it's been more than twenty-four hours, it's been too fucking long. That doesn’t count.”
Without giving you a moment to reply, Bora drops right down, taking your throbbing shaft to the hilt in one fluid motion, that hot, gripping pussy swallowing you up without warning. This girl knows exactly how to angle her body, shoving those beautiful breasts right into your face as she starts to move her sinful hips, riding your cock fast and hard right from the start.
“Fuck, Bora, that tight pussy could make me forget my own fucking name—“
Not a second gets wasted indulging in those perfect tits. While Bora gyrates her hips, you grab two perfect handfuls of that bountiful chest, sucking hard on each of her nipples, and savoring how incredibly soft her breasts feel in your hands as she slams down against you.
"Missed having this cock splitting me open. God, you feel so fucking good inside me. Such a good fucking stretch."
"And I missed having these perfect tits in my mouth. Nobody knows how to ride me better than you do, baby."
Bora smiles as she runs her fingers through your hair, encouraging this lavish attention with each eager bounce that has her tight walls squeezing with such a harsh grip. "Don't you forget that. I've missed creaming on your cock so much. Gahyeon got her way more than she should have, but you're all mine now."
All you can do is keep your mouth on those pretty, stiffened buds, flicking your tongue playfully along them as your cock gets so slippery inside this wet heat.
It's enough to take your mind off things—not just work, or Gahyeon, but everything, with the way her hips rock, giving you such a beautiful view of her breasts bouncing, now drenched in your saliva while your aching hardness disappears into her impossibly slick warmth.
"Fucking hell, Bora, how are you always so—god, how is your cunt always this fucking tight," you groan out, burying your face into her breasts, relishing this wetness, the warmth, the absolute perfection that surrounds your cock as she rides you relentlessly on your chair.
"Because your cock belongs right here, buried balls deep inside me. My tight little cunt loves every inch of you, baby," she coos softly, bringing your lips to hers for the sweetest little kiss.
And no doubt Gahyeon can still hear every detail from across the room, cleaning away and reorganizing everything just as told without question, unusually quiet, the most obedient she's ever been. Maybe she's learning after all—or maybe she thinks she’ll get a turn again if she behaves.
But god, Bora feels so good on top of you—her hips driving down to take the entirety of your length with ease, her delicious bouncy tits right in your face. With every movement, her slick, warm walls grip your cock to milk another orgasm with an urgency that you've never seen before.
It's enough to make you throb and twitch uncontrollably, and you just can't get enough of these tits, switching back and forth, squeezing whatever isn't trapped in your mouth, completely drunk on lust.
"Fuck, you love them, don't you? Could suck and lick these things all day and never tire of them, couldn't you? Mm, fuck—love when you play with them, when you’re so rough, it feels too good," Bora says, head tilted back and savoring your hungry mouth as you indulge in this feast, sucking her tits like you’re starved—
"You know me too well, Kim Bora. Your tits are just so addictive—I could spend the whole day like this if I had the choice.”
Part of you tries to stay as composed and dignified as you can, but it's harder than usual, with Bora always managing to stifle anything that leaves your mouth after each harsh bounce, spreading warmth and wetness everywhere along the way.
"Who says you don't get that choice? We'll just cancel that stupid meeting with the team tomorrow so you can play with my perfect fucking tits, and pump as many loads inside me as you want."
"Don't tempt me," you say in between lewd slurps of her swollen tits, before you sit back just to take in the view, enjoying the show that her delectable body so graciously puts on display for you.
"Since when has it ever been hard not to tempt you?" Bora questions, and you’re in no position to give a proper answer when she buries you to the hilt, those thighs crashing down against your own and working tirelessly to find the spot that drives you absolutely mad. She gets so wild with those hips, and the bliss is incomparable to how Gahyeon rides you—her determination to prove a point, that she'll always be superior in every aspect.
"Fuck, you ride my cock so fucking well, Bora—think I'm about ready to burst." And with a coy, knowing smile, the pace gets out of control as Bora rides without grace or decency, hell-bent on making you cum as fast as she can. It's just a constant slap of her bare ass against your lap, impaling that needy pussy repeatedly to make your balls tense up with every tight clench.
“Good, that’s what I love to hear. Cum inside, need you to blow a fucking load right in me. Fucking fill me up, you know this is where your cum belongs."
You can't do anything else at this point, hypnotized by how Bora bounces on your cock, those gorgeous tits right in your face. And if that wasn’t enough to deal with, her perfect sopping cunt squeezes so hard, desperate to finish you off that there’s no way for you to hold on—
The heat becomes too much, and you can't help but reach out and grab that plump ass, digging into the flesh and groaning in complete delight as you wait for the unavoidable to take over.
"Gonna fucking cum in you, god, your pussy feels too fucking good," you growl, and that just encourages Bora to drive down faster, picking up the pace with no signs of stopping, on a desperate mission to bring you to completion in the swiftest, easiest fashion possible. She lets out a slew of filthy moans, hands on your chest, and you're torn between wanting to look into Bora's eyes, or gaze at those heavy tits that jiggle in sync with her deadly hips.
“Unload it all, baby—“
There's not even enough time to make a decision—all you see is Bora smiling wide as she takes one last rock of her hips that sends your cock over the edge, and you finally explode inside her with a deep groan, flooding that hot cunt with so much thick, sticky cum. Each buck of your hips helps that load flow free, spilling it all and painting her insides white as her walls milk every drop for all it's worth, desperate to coax out everything left in your balls, every last spurt until that pretty cunt overflows.
When she’s wrung everything out of you, Bora's more than a little breathless. Her hips still move to claim all your seed as she steals a heated kiss from your lips, arms wrapping around your neck. You just stare at her, at the sweat dripping down her neck, eager to take a taste while you drag your tongue up and down to do just that.
"Knew I can make you cum better than that dumb blonde slut,” she says, and all that heat from her filled cunt makes you throb with oversensitivity as her hips slow down, bouncing in your lap so lazily.
"You're cute when you're jealous."
"Jealous? I'm not fucking jealous. How could I be? I'm so much better in every goddamn way, including fucking you," Bora snaps back, brushing the hair away from her face and shifting back a little, making you wince from how sensitive your spent cock is inside her.
"You're not wrong. But you're still jealous, Kim Bora."
"Whatever, as if I could be threatened by a useless whore who'll cum on anything she's given." Bora's never been good at hiding her anger, getting all snappy when you tease her just a little. But also, she can’t help but love what you’ve spilled inside, wanting you to get a good glimpse. So rather gingerly, her hips lift up, letting your shaft slip free, as this thick, creamy mess oozes out, right above your lap with your combined fluids.
"Gahyeon—" Bora says, as she shifts focus in her direction, only now noticing how spotless and organized everything looks as she hops back up on your desk, legs spread wide to display your load still leaking out.
"Yes, boss?" she replies eagerly, glancing over with wide, anticipating eyes, as she stands at attention and awaits another order.
"Stop what you're doing and come clean my cunt up. That's all I'm willing to let you have."
"Right away, ma'am." Of course, only when she gets the chance to taste your cum out of Bora does Gahyeon not give a modicum of attitude, so quick to stop her tasks, falling to her knees right in front.
Without delay, she dives in, and Bora sighs softly when Gahyeon laps up the cum that flows from her messy, wet slit, pushing her tongue inside to seek out more. Because she knows this is her only chance for your seed, and she can't miss it for anything.
"Good girl... so you do know how to follow orders. But only when they're beneficial, hmm?”
There’s nothing but a satisfied hum when Gahyeon swipes her tongue back and forth between Bora's creamy pussy lips, making sure none of that warm load goes to waste, as she uses your taste for an incentive to finish the job. Bora is still a bit exhausted, those heaving breasts still gaining your attention as she sits patiently with her legs parted, watching Gahyeon lick every inch of her clean.
"Alright, enough. That's all you get," Bora says as she pushes her away, shutting her legs, and Gahyeon immediately pouts with those lips soaked in cum, eyes narrowing. "What do you say, brat?"
"Thank you, boss. You're so delicious."
"Better thank him too, most of that came from his balls." Gahyeon quickly shifts her focus towards you, eyes looking so bright and innocent, as if she's waiting for another chance to dole out her gratitude.
"Thank you, sir. May I?" she asks, eyes right at your shaft, and you let out a little nod. Gahyeon scoots over closer and takes your cock back in her mouth, so shamelessly without a second of hesitation.
"So fucking greedy. What are we going to do with you, Gahyeon?" Bora shakes her head, chuckling out loud as Gahyeon cleans up the excess seed and your throbbing shaft all over with a hungry tongue and hollowed-out cheeks, sloppy and loud, slurping with purpose.
If you’re not careful, you know she’ll try to make you cum again, despite Bora trying to limit her indulgence, but you don’t even care about any sensitivity when she looks so good on your cock—lips so fucking pouty and eyes pleading.
"Stay right there, Gahyeon. You stay right fucking there until I say otherwise," you order her, making her eyes go wide as you grab the back of her head, burying yourself to the hilt to keep your cock nestled in her throat. Gahyeon complies without protest, being the perfect cockwarmer as she lets your shaft rest in the cozy embrace of her throat, completely stuffed, so quiet and just obediently holding in place, tongue laying flat to let you relish in the warmth.
"Good fucking girl," Bora giggles, and those deep, pretty eyes of Gahyeon look right at you as your cock holds her tight throat open. She does her best not to move, this pleased look on her face every time you throb inside, staying nice and hard between those hungry lips. "Keeping that mouth full is the only way to stop you from complaining."
Gahyeon certainly makes a pretty picture like this, struggling to contain every ounce of desperation, unable to move or talk. Her lips stay pressed up against the base of your shaft as she stares right up at you, like she needs a hot mouthful of cum to fill her belly like it’s the only thing that’ll settle her down.
"What do you think, feel like taking the rest of the week off and fuck our gorgeous, needy assistant at your place?" Bora asks, and leans over to take advantage of the view, looking right at those thick fucking lips wrapped around you as you resist the urge to use her mouth to ease the frustration she’s caused. "How does that sound, Gahyeon? You want that dick stuffing your holes all night, don't you?"
"That's not a bad idea," you say, to which Gahyeon nods as a sign of agreement, muffled sounds from her stuffed lips just enough to get a smile out of you when your thumb reaches over to wipe drool off her bottom lip. "Think I'd rather pound this brat's ass all weekend than go to another fucking meeting."
"Even better." There's a big smirk on Bora's face, running her fingers through Gahyeon's blonde locks. "Is that what you want, slut? Want this thick cock to stretch out that pretty little asshole of yours? Make you scream without having the entire office hear what a huge whore you are?"
After you ease Gahyeon's mouth off of your cock, she inhales deeply before finally responding, lips glistening from saliva as she smiles brightly. "Fuck, please, sir—it's been so long since you've put that big dick in my ass—so fucking long."
You both know there's no truth to those words; hardly a day's gone by that you haven't slid your cock into this girl's asshole, while she's staring outside your office window, or the bathroom mirror after you've buried your face in between those plump cheeks. Regardless, you'll let her maintain this little charade, let her get the anticipation going in hopes of more.
"Let's get going then," Bora says, getting back on her feet as she looks around to find her clothes scattered everywhere, only bothering to put her skirt and blouse back on. "Minji might not like us missing the meeting, but there's no reason she can't reschedule. We've got more important things to take care of."
"So no meeting? Really?" Gahyeon responds, this adorable giddy little smile on her face while you slip your pants back on, fastening your belt and shutting down your computer.
"No meeting. Instead, I get to ruin that pretty little asshole all weekend and fuck the attitude out of you."
"Good luck with that," Bora laughs, walking over towards the door to grab her purse. "But if you get tired of dealing with the brat, I can just sit on your face so you get a moment's peace."
“You really do spoil me, Kim Bora," you laugh along with her, watching as she does her best to put on a presentable appearance, leaving her shirt with one button unbuttoned just to make sure her cleavage is out in full display. "And Gahyeon, gather your things, make sure everything's locked up, then meet us downstairs. Don't keep us waiting."
"On it, sir."
"Oh, and don't forget the paddle, Gahyeon. Should still be in the same drawer," Bora says, shooting a big grin before disappearing out your office door with you slowly following behind.
"Of course, boss."
You’ll deal with however Minji chooses to reprimand you on Monday, but for now, you've got Gahyeon all to yourself with Bora coming along for the ride.
That’s all you’ll worry about—no reports, no deadlines, and no meetings, just the two most gorgeous girls you've ever laid eyes on spending the entire weekend in your sheets.

🍒 thank you Gab — who said “seen you were out of orders and can’t have that” like the absolute icon she is. thank you for the reblogs, the love, the chaos, and for sliding back in with this prompt like you knew exactly what my delulu soul needed. this fic’s yours, babe — and yes, he snaps.
💬 “Shut the door, lock it, lose the key.”
✨ description & prompts:
• character: Quinn Hughes
• prompt: you both get locked overnight in the Canucks team bus
• additional tropes : enemies to lovers (but everyone knows they’re obsessed)
• type: smut (rough)
• wc ~ 2k
🍒🛼✨🧁
The last time you saw Quinn Hughes up close, your hair reached your hips.
Thick, wavy, always half-tangled from running between media vans and locker rooms with a lanyard swinging at your chest and a coffee going cold in your hand. You were the kind of girl who didn’t wait for things to calm down — you thrived in the chaos of a three-game road stretch, four post-skates in a row, media days with overlapping schedules.
You had been like that since day one. Loud, quick-tongued, too opinionated for someone who didn’t wear skates. You always had one foot planted near the Canucks, even if unofficially — media relations, then digital coverage, then an internal PR gig that kept you circulating the roster like a storm cloud in heels.
And Quinn hated it. Or at least that’s what he made you think.
Ever since the third month of his second full year in Vancouver — a November you would never forget — when you’d made a harmless joke about his hair after a shoot, and he’d muttered something just low enough to cut you in half.
“Maybe if you spent more time on your own look, you wouldn’t need to comment on mine.”
You blinked, stunned, lips parted, and didn’t say anything back. But you walked out, cheeks burning. And from that moment on, something had curdled between the two of you.
It wasn’t hostility. Not really. More like something sharp edged and overheated. Something that brewed when you were around each other too long. You’d shoot him a look across the tunnel. He’d roll his eyes. You’d avoid saying his name. He’d find ways to say yours wrong.
But here’s what no one really talked about:
How he always ended up walking near you when he didn’t have to.
How he knew your birthday.
How Jack, drunk one night, said Quinn talked about you too much for someone who doesn’t like you.
And tonight?
Tonight you were bent over inside the team bus at 9:57 PM, tossing a stack of game notes back into your duffel, when Quinn’s voice made your stomach clench.
“You cut it.”
You froze.
Straightened up.
Turned to see him in the middle aisle, backlit by the glow from the arena’s loading dock.
He was holding a charger in one hand and watching you like you’d morphed into a stranger.
Your hair — now cropped blunt to your shoulders — shifted slightly with your breath. Still the same deep color. Still yours. But you weren’t ready for the way he looked at it.
“Yeah,” you said evenly. “Got sick of it.”
His gaze didn’t move.
“Doesn’t suit you,” he muttered.
“Didn’t ask,” you shot back, and that should’ve been it. But you didn’t look away either.
And that’s when it happened.
The hiss of hydraulics.
The low mechanical clunk.
The dome lights dimming.
The final whir as the bus powered down.
You turned slowly.
“Was that…?”
Quinn took one long step toward the door. Tugged the handle.
Nothing
He pulled harder. Then shoved. The lock didn’t budge.
He cursed under his breath.
“No. No, no—fuck,” you said, moving past him and trying the emergency lever.
Still nothing.
The engine had shut. The driver was gone.
Outside, the last equipment guy was wheeling a bin back into the shadows of Rogers Arena. The loading bay lights flickered.
The bus had shut down for the night.
And you were inside it.
With Quinn Hughes.
Alone.
——
You looked at him. He looked at you. Silence, heat, tension.
And that was just the beginning.
The silence stretches five minutes too long.
You sit sideways in one of the cushioned bench seats halfway down the bus aisle, your knees drawn up, your hoodie bunched around your elbows. Quinn stands at the front, hands on his hips, pacing like he’s calculating an escape plan. You can feel the weight of his annoyance radiating off him like heat.
“This is your fault,” you mutter.
He doesn’t even look back. “Of course it is.”
You scoff. “You could’ve told someone you were coming in here. But no, you just had to brood silently with your little charger like some tortured divorced dad.”
“I didn’t know you’d be here,” he snaps, still infuriatingly calm. “Trust me, I wouldn’t have walked in.”
You straighten your back. “Great. The feeling’s mutual.”
He finally turns around. Eyes cold. Jaw sharp. “Then stop talking.”
You laugh—an ugly, bitten thing. “You don’t get to act annoyed like I’m the one ruining your night, Hughes. You’ve been a dick to me for four years straight.”
His stare doesn’t waver. “Yeah? Maybe if you weren’t constantly in everyone’s face—”
“Oh, right. God forbid a woman be competent and loud.”
He steps forward, slow and measured. “It’s not that you’re loud. It’s that you always think you’re the smartest person in the room.”
“That’s rich coming from you,” you snap. “The quiet golden boy who thinks being moody counts as depth.”
Something flickers in his expression. You hit a nerve.
“Tell me, Quinn,” you push, your voice rising. “Did it make you feel good? That comment you made years ago? Did putting me down help your ego, or was that just classic rich kid ‘don’t touch my hair’ trauma?”
He’s close now.
Closer than he’s been in years.
His voice drops, barely audible. “You think I don’t regret that?”
You blink.
And he smirks. “You’ve hated me since that day. And yet, here we are. Still circling.”
“You think I want to be here?” You stand now, chest to chest. “You think I lie awake at night dreaming of being stuck in a goddamn bus with you?”
He leans in. “You know what I think?”
His breath is warm. His voice, deadly quiet.
“I think you liked it. The fight. The way I looked at you when you cut your hair. The way I still do.”
You don’t say anything. Your heart pounds.
He tilts his head. “You were mad I didn’t say you looked good.”
“I wasn’t—”
“You wanted it to matter.”
And that’s when you snap.
Your hand flies to his shirt, gripping the collar, shoving him back into the side of the aisle with a hard thud. His breath catches, sharp and surprised, but his hands are already on your hips—pulling you in, holding you still as your bodies collide.
“You’re such a fucking asshole,” you hiss.
“Yeah?” he growls, dragging you closer by the waistband of your jeans. “You’ve been strutting around this team for years like you don’t want me to ruin you.”
Then he kisses you.
Hard.
Teeth clashing. Tongue sharp. Hands brutal.
He spins you, presses you flat against the window. One hand fisting in your short hair, tugging it back so he can kiss your neck, bite the edge of your jaw.
“You cut it so I’d notice,” he breathes against your ear.
“You think too highly of yourself.”
“You wore the tight jeans,” he growls, hand slipping under your waistband, gripping your bare hip. “You knew what you were doing.”
“And you’re the same cocky boy who insulted me in year two,” you whisper.
“Still think about it every time I see you.”
He kisses you again, rougher, hungrier, his hand trailing between your legs. He doesn’t ask. Doesn’t pause. He touches you like he’s been waiting for this moment since that first fight, since that first interview, since the night he called you a name and saw your mouth part like you wanted to scream.
And now?
Now you do.
——
The window fogs behind your spine.
Your hands are flat on the glass, breath catching, knees tightening as Quinn’s hand slips lower—past denim, past the thin cotton of your underwear, straight to where you’re already soaking. He doesn’t pretend to be gentle. His fingers push in with that same restrained precision he plays with—controlled, decisive, arrogant.
“You’re this wet from arguing?” he breathes, pressing his mouth to your neck. “Fuck—figures you’d be loud even when you’re turned on.”
You moan, high and sharp, your body arching as he fucks you with his fingers—palm grinding against your clit, slow and deliberate. You can barely think. Can’t even try to win. Not when he’s curling his fingers just right, watching your mouth fall open.
“Been thinking about this,” he mutters, eyes heavy, voice wrecked. “About how you’d sound when I finally got you like this. Whining. Wet. Needing me.”
You turn to glare at him—but it’s pathetic, a half-lidded mess of need.
“You’re so full of yourself.”
He grins. “Yeah?”
And just like that, he drags his hand away.
You gasp, spinning around, slapping your hand on his chest, shoving him backward toward the narrow bus aisle. “Don’t you dare—”
But you don’t finish the sentence. Because he yanks you forward again, grabs your thighs, and lifts you like it’s nothing. Your back hits the cushioned bench seat. His body slots between your legs. His mouth is back on yours—tongue hot and demanding, hands already at your waistband, yanking your jeans down mid-thigh.
“You gonna tell me to stop?” he pants, pushing your underwear aside, running the thick head of his cock through your slick folds.
You shake your head.
He smirks. “Didn’t think so.”
And then he’s inside.
One stroke, deep and thick, stretching you open fast. Your head slams back into the seat. A raw, startled cry punches out of your throat.
“Fuck—Quinn—”
His grip on your hips tightens, fingers bruising as he starts thrusting. Hard. Relentless. The kind of rhythm that feels like punishment and obsession wrapped into one. He buries himself to the hilt each time, jaw clenched, eyes locked on yours.
“I hated you,” he grits. “I fucking hated how you looked at me. Like you saw through me. Like you knew what I wanted.”
Your nails dig into his shoulders.
“And you did. You fucking knew. That’s why you teased me. That’s why you wore those little outfits. That’s why you never looked away.”
Your legs wrap around his waist.
Your cries echo in the empty bus, breathless and sharp, your whole body shaking from the pace.
Then—
He grabs a fistful of your short hair. Tugs.
Hard.
Your neck arches back. Your mouth parts.
He leans in, choking you with his hand and kissing you all at once.
“Take it,” he growls, voice low and breaking. “Take all of it.”
Your vision blurs. Your walls tighten.
You feel him deep, dragging you toward the edge so fast you can’t stop it.
“Quinn—”
You come hard, sobbing into his neck, whole body wracked with it.
But he doesn’t slow
He keeps fucking you through it, pounding harder now, fingers back on your throat, breath ragged.
“You’re gonna let me come inside you,” he growls.
You whimper. “Y-Yeah—”
“Good girl.”
And he does—buries himself deep, grinds into you, moaning loud as he spills inside, every drop hot and messy and full.
He pulls out too slow, and the mess is already leaking down your thighs.
You’re both panting.
Sweating.
His thumb swipes the cum between your legs—slow, obscene—and pushes it back in.
“Quinn—fuck—”
He smirks. “Don’t act surprised. You’ve been dying for this since I called you a brat four years ago.”
You slap his chest. He grabs your wrist, kisses it.
Then kisses your mouth.
Soft.
Warm.
Careful, finally.
“Still hate me?” he whispers.
You roll your eyes. “Ask me in the morning.”
——
He leans back, pulls you onto his lap, tucks your jacket around your legs.
The bus is silent again.
Except this time, you’re wrapped around each other. Sweaty. Breathless. And finally—finally—honest.

"Just sign the papers, Minhkhoa!"
You feel erratic. The urge to claw your eyes out getting stronger the longer Khoa draws out this divorce, chestnut eyes focused on the blue and gold fountain pen between his muscular fingers, instead of the stack of documents in front of him.
"No."
His calmness frustrates you to no end, forcing you to let out a low and annoyed groan, dropping into the seat across from him, brows pinched into a frown and lips tugged downwards.
"Just sign—"
"I'm not signing the papers." Khoa interrupts, his gaze lifting from the pen to meet your eyes, before he sets the writing tool down on the mahogany, interlocking muscular digits on the varnished surface.
"Tell me, petal," Khoa hums, "how do you know what this is?"
Your brows knit into a confused expression, upper lip scrunching in that way that makes him look at you like how a lion would look at a deer that's wandered into its den with flowers on its antlers.
Enchanted, but still, you're prey.
"Know about what?" You question and he motions towards the stack of paper.
"Divorce?" Your expression falls. "You're asking me how I know about divorce?"
"Yes." He answers with an exhausted huff, before leaning back in his seat, muscular arms crossing over his broad chest and his biceps bulge with the action. "How do you know what a divorce is? Who taught you?"
Is this what it feels like to see red?
"The fuck kind of question is that?!" You hiss, hands clenching into fists, so hard that your knuckles are turning pale. It's a stupid question, but you can tell that Khoa got the answer he wants, the outburst. Especially when you see the way the corners of his mouth twitches, his tongue peeking out from between pearly teeth, pointed canines on either side of the wet muscle.
"Darling, you're clearly overly emotional. You're not thinking this through."
God, this is making you rethink the half a decade you spent married to this gaslighting, manipulative, psychotic and aggravating man.
"How about we take a nice, long hot bath, and we can talk out our problems like grown ups, instead of being childish and pulling the divorce card, hm?" Khoa goads you, lifting himself from his seat across from you and rounding the kitchen table, his hand grasping your jaw in a firm yet gentle hold, before leaning down, pressing a kiss against your lips before he pulls away, and moves towards the bedroom, ready to fill the ensuite tub with scalding water and a plethora of bubbles.
"As if a bullshit law could stop me." Khoa hums, softly but loud enough for you to hear that melodious chuckle slip from his lips.
"No order can restrain me, darling. None."
When you make your way towards the end suite, that seductive scent makes your footsteps stagger and you need to gather your bearings before continuing.
The scent of oud, woody and cardamon cling to the air alongside the slightest hint of chocolate, and the flickering of golden candlelight makes you cringe inwardly.
Steamy air makes it almost difficult to see, bathroom tiles slippery with condensation and fogged up shower doors and you gaze drops to where Minhkhoa rests at one edge of the tub, arms outstretched along the porcelain and honey-toned knees poking out from between foamy suds. Damp, inky hair clings to his forehead, his broad chest wet and dripping with water, and you shrug off your clothing as he turns his head away from you.
A feign of modesty and respectfulness, when Khoa is anything but.
His very existence is a crime against humanity.
A cesspool that wraps a hand around your wrist, tugging you closer to him once you step into the tub and you sink beneath the water, popping bubbles and suds kissing at the flesh of your chest and shoulders when you lean back against his broadness. Feeling the way squishy pecs and carved abs press against the curve of your spine and his arms wrap around your midsection.
Face nestling against the curve of your neck.
"You want to leave, sweet girl? Why?" Khoa questions, his voice a low, husky timbre and when it's paired with the steam that clouds your vision just a bit, the scent of spices and sweetness....
God.
You feel guilty that you've wasted printing ink on all those documentations because you know— you just know that even if Batman himself interfered and Superman was his hype man, no one could free you from the skilled and... Oddly nimble clutches of Minhkhoa Khan.
You swallow, trying to find exactly why you want to leave him.
Rude.
Unapologetic.
Psychotic.
Possessive.
Territorial.
Demeaning.
Manipulative.
Certified gaslighter.
"You don't take me seriously."
You respond, your voice small and you know damn well that you could belt at the top of your lungs, you could argue for hours and you could give Khoa a black eye by the end of this bath, but calloused fingertips trace slippery infinities at your side while his lips brush teasing kisses along the curve of your neck.
"I take you seriously." Khoa argues, his head lifting the slightest bit and he dips, his eyes meeting yours and you see that little furrow in his brows.
"I take you very seriously."
One very skilled and very muscular hand dips even lower, fingers circling your slippery clit and you're not sure if you're even breathing anymore. Not when one hand clutches your jaw gently, forcing you to keep eye contact with him, while his other hand makes teasing ministrations that make you glad that your feet are hidden underneath the bubbles.
Heaven knows Khoa would have a field day watching your toes curl while you're trying to explain to him why you want a divorce.
It feels like looking into the eyes of a cobra.
A dark brown canvas, painted with slivers of gold and yellow, hazel flecks and chocolate streaks that make his eyes look like a marble, pulling you into the endless vortex that are those endless pupils.
Strands of wet obsidian cling to his forehead and the back of his neck, Khoa's head tilts as he examines you even more carefully. Like a scientist looking at an insect underneath a microscope and he lets out one of those low, purring hums that make your ankles itch to be the accessories that decorate his earlobes.
"I take you more seriously than anyone else."
He speaks quietly, before lowering his head, brushing his lips against yours just as two fingers slide gently into your gummy cunt, and he inhales just as you take that shaky gasp, reveling in the way your lashes flutter shut and your hips buck, trying to take him all the way.
"Eyes on me." Khoa breathes out with a low hum, his fingers tracing over your jaw while his other hand continues to work beneath the surface of the water, watching with pure adoration as your eyes flicker open.
And Khoa gets to watch, in seemingly slow motion, as your lips part to let out a whine, as your eyes roll back in your head when his fingers push all the way in, his wedding band flush against your fleshy pussy lips.
If you thought there was nothing more hypnotizing than watching Khoa's eyes roam over you like he's trying to burn your image into his brain, you realise that it has nothing on the way he shifts against the bubbly waters.
Resting you back against the porcelain, Khoa positions himself between your thighs, carefully guiding your legs to part for him before he slowly sinks, his eyes remaining on yours.
And they only shut when he has to pass through the bubbly surface.
Muscular hands grasp the fat of your hips, lifting you just enough for him to make himself comfortable, and your stomach clenches when you feel the way his tongue drags through your folds, tasting you.
Two fingers slide into your cunt and you feel the way he prods at that little gummy spot he's always found with far too much ease and his tongue circles your needy clit. You feel the way his pointed nose bumps at your hood, your fingers lowering beneath the frothy surface and your nails scratch at his scalp, digits entangling themselves in his hair.
Khoa groans beneath the water and you don't bother wondering why he knows how to hold his breath so long. Because it's Minhkhoa and he's got a set of skills that go hand in hand with his job.
With each pass of his tongue and each thrust of his knuckles, Minhkhoa feels the way your cunt spasms as your orgasm nears, and your chest heaves.
"Khoa, I—..." You breathe shakily, one hand gripping the edge of the tub while the other remains knotted in his hair, raven tresses wrapped around your fingers as you push his face closer to your drooling and overstimulated cunt.
Khoa teases your clit with the tip of his tongue, before soft lips find purchase around the bud, and your lashes flutter, eyes slamming shut and stars begin to dance behind your eyelids. Because you know he's doing this with purpose.
A leisurely tongue fuck that has your mind racing for ways to not inflate his ego by coming too fast, but it's too late because by the time you get to the conclusion of thinking about his past lovers, your toes are curling and you're coming around his fingers.
Khoa doesn't stop either, fingers bullying your cunt like they owe him money, suckling and teasing your clit until it swells, peeking out from between velvety folds and it's only when your hand moves to his forehead, meek attempts to push him away do nothing but egg him on, but Khoa raises his head nonetheless.
The crown of his head pierces the bubbles, and he cards his hand through his hair, pushing the strands back and you watch as he kneels, water dropping down his toned torso in rivulets and bubbles and his eyes open.
Half-lidded gaze with wet lashes and you're panting, reaching forward and using your dry hand to wipe the water away from his eyes.
Khoa lets out an amused hum, and thats all he does before carefully repositioning you, holding you like you're porcelain and cradling you in his lap.
Like you're precious.
He guides your hands to rest on his broad chest, positioning them in a way that you can feel the calm, steady beat of his heart beneath sunkissed flesh and he watches as you raise yourself just enough, your legs still weak as you wait for Khoa's next move.
Carefully, notching the flushed tip of his cock against your slit, and Khoa's eyes remain on yours as he guides you to sink slowly, his eyes only fluttering shut once the curve of your ass is flush against his sack.
Each inch is a tantalizing and burning stretch, the kind that makes you wonder how you're even surviving because regardless of whether or not Khoa fucks you like he's a rabbit in heat, you never get used to the stretch.
His cock presses a sloppy kiss against your cervix, precum leaving his tip in thick, goopy drops and smearing against your fluttering and gooey walls, and he gives an experimental roll of his hips.
Feeling the way your nails threaten to break the skin of his chest and Khoa lets out a low groan, head tipping back against the porcelain before he runs his tongue over his teeth.
Candles have flickered out, the bathroom is relatively darker but you can still make out that animalistic glint in Khoa's eyes as he regards you, hands moving to grasp the curve of your hips beneath the surface of the water, fingers digging into the plumpness.
He keeps you from moving, forcing you to sit and feel each twitch of his cock against your constricting walls, but being unable to do anything about the way he just so shyly avoids that spongy spot.
Khoa wants nothing more than to watch you bounce on his cock, to feel the hot water lap at his torso with each of your movements but he knows you need to learn your lesson.
"Go on, lovely." Khoa urges you. "Explain to me why we need a divorce, again."

someone needs to tell you you're not as smart as you think you are.

series masterlist
"i've got the marks for your latin exam here." the teacher says sternly, tapping a pile of papers doused in red ink on her mahogany desk. she lets the silence hang for a few minutes before crossing her arms over her chest. "the class average is... quite scattered, to say the least."
the class is silent, expectantly perched on the edge of their seats. some fiddle with pens and paperclips, some shrink into their school jumpers; a boy rests his head on his arms in the midst of it all, seemingly unbothered. the boy, much to your avail, is kean.
kean fucking kazim.
you almost roll your eyes at the cliché, because who else could it be? who else would you constantly be competing against for the top of the class? obviously, it's the boy half-asleep in every class who still aces every subject he doesn't even try in—
—and yet.
kean is still boy you're running around town with, skipping your classes to mess around with in the back of his daddy's convertible.
as your teacher's gaze scans every face in the class, unbiased and unrevealing, she seems to notice that the boy is asleep. her lips curl downwards into an indignant frown, "kazim?"
the boy stirs at the sound of his name, lazily looks up. "yeah," he gives her a nod behind the palm of his hand that stifles his yawn, "that's me."
the class laughs; the teacher is not amused.
"can you hand these tests out to the class?" she taps a perfectly manicured finger against the stack of stapled papers and smiles at the boy. "and then perhaps, you can see me after class to discuss why you're always so lethargic when i'm attempting to teach."
"sure." he shrugs flippantly, standing up from his desk at the back of the class and making his way to the teacher's desk. chatter resumes form the small interruption and the teacher simply sighs shakily and, you guess, from the longing glance she throws at her handbag, in dire need of a smoke.
kean picks the papers up and sorts through them. he doesn't even try to hide his shameless appraisal. you watch, incredulously, as he sets them down, one by one, an indifferent look in his olive eyes yet something shifting in that gaze.
he stops then, pauses for a brief moment before taking one very specific paper out of the stack and putting the rest back onto the table. low laughter spills past his lips, ringing hollowly amused; and you can't bear to stand by for a second longer—
"you fucking bitch!"
you practically lunge out of your seat, leaping with wide strides to where he stands. you snatch the paper from his hands and turn away, see your handwriting and name etched onto the top, and a big, red, ninety six stamped across it. there, a small 'good job' scribbled next to the number.
"dooon't worry, cap." he leans over you and nestles his head on your shoulder to peek at your paper, hands tucked in his pockets. "that's better than you did last time." he says lowly. kean looks away, and ignoring how his hair tickles your neck, the way the black strands contrast bright blue highlights, you follow his gaze to the stack of papers sitting, almost accusatorily, on the teacher's desk.
"so, relax, darling captain," one paper stands out—how can it not with that loud one hundred percent screaming at you in violent red? and over it, in a familiarly messy scrawl, where everyone is required to write their name; kean's name, sitting all pretty. "you win some, you lose some."
four letters, three digits.
two top grades, one perfect.
the boy nestles closer to you, sighing contently. "well, except for me." he whispers, mouth twisting into a cruel smile, "seems like i always win."
-
when the bell for lunch finally goes off, the silence of latin class is immediately broken by the cacophonous sounds of chairs crudely scraping against the linoleum floor and weary students complaining about their test grades. the teacher doesn't even bother to dismiss the class. instead, she silently reaches into her red leather handbag and pulls out, as you'd suspected, a pack of nicotine gum.
you, on the other hand, pull kean into the supplies closet. the room is stuffy and small, packed with shelves holding bulk boxes of cleaning supplies, and miscellaneous maintenance paraphernalia. there's barely enough space for one person to stand in the cramped space, let alone two.
and yet, neither of you seem to care very much about the close proximity. instead, you seem to be making the absolute most of it.
kean looks down at you with expectant olive eyes, and you don't even let a word get through those stupid lips of his before you kiss him. because this has become routine, his hands instantly wrap around you, pulling you closer until you're pressed right against him, able to feel every muscle of his, taut with restraint, tense.
the first time you kissed him had been when he'd followed you to your locker afterschool. incessantly reminding you of your own shortcomings and failures and how he'd scored a rank higher than you on finals, and it seemed, that when it came to you, kean couldn't live without rubbing salt over your every wound.
but you'd seen the way his eyes lingered, shamelessly, in places he had no business looking. countless times, you'd caught him staring at you in class or captaincy meetings—and he never looked away. and you weren't stupid. a part of you felt thrilled at being the object of such a marvelous person's attention.
so, you kissed him first.
since then, you've learnt how to keep kean quiet, and loud. learnt what calms him down, what has him undone.
since then, a smaller, stupider part of you, has come to enjoy how kean tastes and feels; like walking on clouds; weightless, unreal. you've come to love the way your body slots against his so perfectly, and his hands know exactly where to go and what to do.
familiarity should breed contempt, but in your case, contempt seems to have paved the way for familiarity to blossom, like the flower of a weed peeking out from between cracks in the sidewalk; alive and growing, despite everything.
he is a way to let yourself forget the immense responsibilities and burdens you have been born to bear.
you smile against his lips at the thought of how uncomplicated it is to complicate someone. his eyelashes briefly brush against your cheeks and before you know it, your hands are thrown over his shoulders. you tug at the bi-coloured hair at the back of his neck, pulling at the longer pieces.
he lets out a low, strangled sound—pulling you in, impossibly, even closer, eager mouth only more desperate to meet yours, hands impatiently wandering from your waist, movements less poised than they'd been a mere moment ago. you feel teeth, gentle, hungry, pulling against your bottom lip—
"fuck," you lean back, hands flat against his heaving chest, in an attempt to get some air. kean watches the way your chest rapidly rises and falls with every breath you take, and you revel in the flush on his pale face, now slightly flushed. "you're... you're enjoying this more than i thought you would."
"you started it, cap." he swallows, the movement making his adam's apple more prominent. you think he's nervous, and the sight of it is lovely. he gazes down at you for a while through dilated pupils, his lips smudged by your chapstick. you're suddenly reminded of how close he is, how nice he smells.
"mors mea eris," he hums.
"hey," immediately, you're reminded why you hate him in the first place. you scrunch your nose in confusion and push an accusatory finger into his chest. "what the fuck did you just say about me, smartass?"
"would you look at that?" a wry smile follows, "looks like someone needs to brush up on their latin." the nervousness he'd adorned so well only moments ago is replaced by glee, evident as the hearts in his eyes shift to a sharp glint, within the darkness of the closet. "not suprising you've fallen behind, considering i've always been better in every aspect."
"you run your mouth a lot for someone who was all over me a minute ago." you quip, meet his gaze with narrowed eyes. he only grins in response, lithe fingers covered in black ink from those 0.5 fine liners he likes, as he tilts your chin up so he can get a better look at your face in the dark.
"and you look real bad for someone who's meant to represent our school," he remarks easily, something akin to approval in his olive eyes as they observe your swollen lips and tousled hair, your school shirt; previously ironed and meticulously buttoned all the way up, now crinkled—first two buttons hastily undone.
"what would they say, i wonder," he leans closer, continuing, "if they could see you like this?"
"if you truly think this means anything," you scoff, "then you think much too highly of yourself, kazim."
"that's the thing, but you're always so slow." you want to push him off when he lets his head rest on your shoulder, but because he knows you so well, kean's already holding both your hands, fingers forcibly intertwined with yours and forced behind your back, "i'm not talking about myself."
"okay?" you frown, genuine irritation beginning to replace the filthier thoughts and sweet nothings that'd overcome you when he'd been kissing you, "then what the fuck are you talking about?"
"you," he murmurs softly, and even though you can't see his face, you know by his voice that he is deep in thought, "i'm talking about you, darling captain. i'm sure you'll come to figure it out."
"okay, kean." you frown, "i'm done here. piss off."
"just like that?" he moves away, his head is no longer resting on your shoulder, and you wrench your hands away from his with as much force as you can muster, "not even a kiss goodbye?"
"i think you're running too short on time for that," you roll your eyes, looking up at the boy, who is still, despite his best efforts not to show it, a little out of breath. it gives you a semblance of control over the situation again, seeing just what you do to him.
"what do you mean?" kean asks, running a hand through his hair. you only smile, the sweetest, most saccharine one you can muster, before the realisation dawns on him—
perhaps, you can see me after class.
"fuck, you actually got me." the boy laughs, looks at you with that same fervour behind his eyes. "i was wondering," he admits, a hand on the doorknob of the supply closet. "why you were so intent to kiss me all of a sudden. to think i thought i'd just caught you in a good mood."
"when i'm around you? yeah, that's on you, then." you shrug, glancing at his neck, before your eyes trail upwards to his jaw to his lips to his eyes. "for being so stupid, and so intent on being kissed."
"you know she's going to kill me for making her wait, right?" he asks, and you shrug even though, yes—you do know how many detentions he's getting for this, but you can't find it within you to truly care. kean lets out a short laugh when you refuse to respond verbally, and reach into your pockets for your chapstick instead. "i gotta say, you got me real good, cap. don't think i'll let this slide, yeah?"
amusement dances on his flushed features as he lingers for a moment longer, before he inevitably twists the handle and leaves, the door swings closed behind him and you pull out your phone to fix your smudged lips and messy hair.
a small feeling of triumph lingers in your chest at the fact that you might've accidentally forgotten to tell him about the faint sheen of your chapstick leaving a sweet, little mark of a kiss that's startingly obvious on his pale neck.
what he doesn't know won't hurt him—
but you?
—what you don't know will always hurt you.
for kean's entire life, he's always gotten what he wanted, because he's always earned it; and you're stupider than he thinks you are if you truly believe you're going to be an exception to that.
-
the note's on your desk the next morning you step into your first class of the day, right where you usually sit by the window at the front.
it's from a pack of pale blue sticky notes shaped like stars, with one peeled off and placed at your usual seat. the handwriting is instantly recognisable and you hate that most of all. 'come to the music room after school' is sprawled in familiar, lazy lettering.
sitting down, you absently tap your pen against the desk, frowning and in thought. could the school leadership committee have scheduled another meeting? but they would've just texted you, no maybe it's some sort of secret admirer, you muse, but the thought is far-fetched.
you peel the sticky note off your desk and laugh, because who are you kidding? you know exactly who sent this, and you have a good idea of why too.
you scan the words scrawled onto the sticky note one more time, and even though part of you wants to tear it apart and throw it away, the part that wins simply folds it neatly and tucks it away into your pocket.
you suppose, that from kean, this is as good as any love letter.
-
when you push the door to the music room open seven hours later, kean is sitting on the teacher's desk, legs swinging back and forth as he absently strums an acoustic guitar. his eyes meet yours, and it's hard to ignore the way his lips curl into a smile.
"hey," you return it with one of your own, "your strumming's absolute shit."
he frowns, fake sorrow lacing his words, "not even a hi, how are you? you're breaking my heart, baby."
"we're past formalities, kean." you make an effort to roll your eyes. "now please, tell me why you're clawing at the strings, surely you're not trying to play the poor thing like that?"
"oh, cut me some slack, cap." kean frowns, but it doesn't go unnoticed by you when the way he strums his fingers against the strings changes, now gentler, his wrist more relaxed. "you're the musician here, not me."
"not only am i the musician," you say, taking a seat across from him, "but i'm also the school captain. aren't i just a walking reminder of your failures?" you sigh wistfully.
"oh, you wish." he laughs, "you only won because you bribed the cohort."
you shrug, "and it worked because you lost, so who cares?"
your hands itch to correct his posture and placement, but you decide against it. the early evening sun streams in through the music room's windows, painting the two of you in rays of gold. with the glow on his skin, kean looks sunkissed, like some love interest out of a summery teen movie.
"aren't you curious why i called you here?" kean's fingers slide across the frets of the guitar, as he tries out different chords. some of which, you note, eyes keenly following his every move, don't even exist. "i mean, you don't know what i want; and we're all alone in this little room, aren't we?"
the implications of his words are amusing, something you've thought about many times before, zoning out during class, on the verge of sleeping, listening to a love song—but these sentiments aren't something to share with kean. after all, you wouldn't want to feed into his ego.
before anything; he's competition for the top spot at this school, a nuisance in your way. granted, he is one of your favourite problems, yet still—it would do you well to remember that he is, ultimately, a thorn in your side.
"how romantic," you retort, in an exasperated tone that conveys anything but, "are you going to get down on one knee for me, now?"
"how shameless," kean peers at you through dark eyelashes, "i bet you'd like that, wouldn't you?"
"i would, actually," you tilt your head to the side, "and i think we both know you would too. you talk so much shit, and then you melt like butter in my hands, kean, all over me. so, so, messy. i don't think any of my other achievements over you," you admit, "can best that sight."
the boy pauses and his fingers falter on the frets, gaze lingering on you a moment too long. he's the first to look away, turning his attention to the guitar resting against him, suddenly all too invested in it. you try to fight the laughter threatening to spill past your lips.
"don't get ahead of yourself, cap. it's only because you have no notable achievements besides a pretty face," he says, "anyways, your delusions of grandeur aside, i was going to ask you if you were going to your friend's halloween party this week."
"probably, red's asking for a favour." you raise an eyebrow at his question, "i didn't think you were coming, but she asked me to come and perform, says some producer guy interested in her singing will be there, so i need to be on bass."
"is that so?" at this, he grins, something that is equally charming as it is sickening. "guess i'll see you there, then."
"you know what you're going as?" you ask, trying to ignore the strange, yet familiar feeling of trepidation that seeps into your mind at the sound of his voice. "i think i'll go as something easy. a vampire or slasher or something."
"sounds nice," kean pushes himself off the teacher's desk and sets the guitar back in its stand, glowing in all the wrong ways. you watch stupidly as he reaches for the door. but not before turning back, calling your name over his shoulder.
it catches you off guard, the way the syllables, so rarely used by him in lieu of his favourite mocking nickname, roll of his tongue. the way it sounds like he's so accustomed to saying it—a strange, yet alarming, sense of familiarity floods through you.
"yeah?"
"i'll go as your very own stu macher." kean's voice is low, and his lips curl with mockery, "or your final girl, if you really wanna get into character. we can break the first rule of being in a horror movie, cap."
kean pauses for a second, as if to say something more, but thinking against it, the boy swings the door open and steps out without a backwards glance.
the door shuts closed behind him and you're left in the music room alone with your heart hammering in your chest, and your tongue tied.
we can break the first rule of being in a horror movie.
the boy's words finally dawn onto you, and you lean forward, head in hands. "shit," you grit, unsure whether to laugh at his words or to run out into the hall at this very moment and take him up on his little offer.
it's lucky you're smart, and know to make good choices—if you had been someone dumber, you would have accepted his offer there and then. and yet, what was the point of all your knowledge, all that studying and reading and misery and pride?
in the end, you still wouldn't be smart enough to save yourself.
