21: Plan

Warning: Someone has a panic attack

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hongjoong was walking out of the school building the next day, taking in the surroundings better. It was only his third day in the school after all, after missing school for almost the whole week. 

Then, after slowly walking for five minutes, his eyes landed on the jet black car in the school's parking lot. And looks like he wasn't the only one, as the car stood out from the rest so much. Thankfully there weren't that many students left though, a lot of them having hurried to the bus or train station as soon as the last class had ended. 

Hongjoong felt drawn towards the car, knowing exactly who it belonged to, and almost subconsciously walked up to it. 

He didn't expect Seonghwa to be inside though, and he couldn't see through the blacked out windows from where he was walking from, so the door suddenly opening startled him and made him stop in his tracks. 

"Hey little one, you recognized my car?" Seonghwa spoke to him after getting out of his car, also looking a bit startled.

"Y-yeah, I mean, it's pretty hard not to..." Hongjoong spoke nervously, feeling as if he had just gotten caught doing something. 

"You changed your hair." Seonghwa said after looking him up and down, making Hongjoong feel shy. 

"Yeah, I did…" Hongjoong answered, shifting his weight from side to side and looking down. 

"You just made me sick and go into rut for like five days, aren't you going to apologize?" Seonghwa sounded more disappointed than angry. 

"I'm sorry Seonghwa, but maybe you shouldn't have let me kiss you then." Hongjoong sighed before answering, he was going to apologize anyway, but the Alpha was supposed to be the 'sober' one in the situation, so why was it only his fault?

"You were in preheat, kitten. How do you think I was supposed to be able to control myself?"

"That's just an excuse. And you didn't even have to sleep in the same bed with me, but you did."

"Your scent was too sweet to resist."

"Why can the Alphas in my pack control themselves then?" Hongjoong counterattacked, but then remembered they hadn't really had a chance to smell him in preheat last time. 

But Mingi went into rut/heat from San's extremely slight change in smell? And then Yunho managed to not go into rut at all, even after spending an hour in a car with Hongjoong, whose pants were drenched in his strawberry scented slick for most of the ride.

Wait, did that mean Yunho and Mingi had mated already? And also, were they engaged now? Hongjoong just realized how little he actually knew about their relationship.

Or is this Alpha just very sensitive to Omega pheromones? Hongjoong had also recently realized that he didn't know as much about how Alphas work as he had thought he did. 

He had mistakenly believed all Alphas to have much shallower personalities than Omegas and Betas do, most likely because his dad had been the only Alpha in his life, but meeting Yunho and Mingi had definitely proved him wrong. 

He had never really spent that much time with his dad, just always observing him, and only having conversations with him in meows, which meant a smaller vocabulary than in a human language. And he had never had an Alpha friend before Yunho and Mingi either. 

"Hongjoong?" Seonghwa's voice broke him away from thought.

"Hmm?"

"I know, it was a bit of my fault too, will you forgive me?"
