Taehyung could say he's had his fair share of awkward situations. Many of them consisted of walking in on his best friend in the midst of doing it with his boyfriend while the other half had to do with him having the worst luck any person could have. Honestly, he was getting tired of feeling all the embarrassment crushing on him like a pile of bricks.

However, he could say one hundred percent that he'd never been in this situation. Sitting on a fancy couch, that probably costs all of his tuition, of his high school student while being scrutinized by her older brother was definitely not how he planned this first meeting to go.

It wasn't just his current situation, but the reminder of what had just happened literally five minutes ago rewinding in his head like an old tape.

How the hell did he get so caught up in the moment? What kind of moment was that even?

He'd always been able to very vaguely recognize some scents, however his smelling didn't come anywhere near as sharp as Jimin's or any of his omega siblings, not to talk about Yoongi's (but he just gives that to the fact that the man has one heck of a nose, way sharper than any other regular alpha). He knew his senses were severely underdeveloped, if they could even fit in that category, but he could at least smell more than most betas.

So naturally, that brought him to the question… What was that scent he smelled earlier and why is he still relatively dizzy by merely sitting across the source of that scent?

Could this be the effect of the pills? Were his alpha senses finally beginning to develop?

No, but that couldn't be. Could it?

He subtly sniffed the air and sure that scent was still lingering relatively strong in his nostrils, however, he was able to catch a very faint smell. It was sweet, somewhat calming. Vanilla, honey and a hint of daisies. An omega.

Taehyung turned to see the girl that was sitting quietly on the seat next to his. She looked young and very pretty, with her hands nearly folded over her lap. It was more than obvious she was or is going to be an omega. A very pretty one. She was more or less the epitome of how an omega is usually depicted as.

Now that he remembers, his classmate did mention he was going to tutor a possible omega girl. He was only able to get the job since his alpha senses were nowhere to be seen, so he was more or less harmless.

That however, didn't explain why that man's scent was so powerful. It could easily cover the girl's completely. Omega's scents are naturally strong in the sense that anyone is able to perceive them, even betas are able to catch a whiff of the sweet aroma of an omega. Alphas have strong scents in the sense that they are quite overwhelming, but still they are not as easy to smell. Most betas are unable to smell alphas unless the alpha releases a very heavy load of pheromones.

It just didn't make sense why this man's scent was so strong.

On the other hand, Taehyung was conscious that he had way bigger problems in his hand than his nose.

Like the fact that said man is absurdly intimidating and looks ready to crush Taehyung with a single hand. Taehyung was learning a whole other level of glaring by that point.

He wasn't necessarily very prideful, but certainly he was hot headed and stubborn and having a complete stranger just glaring at him was slowly getting to him. And if glaring back was what it took to somewhat stand up for himself, then he would gladly sign up for a glaring contest right then.

The tension was high and it had somewhat turned comical as the girl had no idea what to do to stop two grown men from pretty much killing each other with the gaze alone. Not even the bodyguards dared to come too close, only ready to throw the young lady over their shoulders and run as far away from the upcoming hurricane as they could.
