ALPHA UNIVERSE #3: BEAUTIFUL TROUBLE

CHAPTER 20

It was a shitty weekend, you see. They both should have a relaxing rest after the first week of classes, but what do we have? A heavy heart.

Time and luck weren't mostly on everyone's side, as the sun rises for the beginning of a busy Monday.

Neither have happiness nor freedom when they are bound by the rules and responsibilities inside the campus once again.

Jisung hasn't hated English until he is called to recite a few sentences about his weekend and remembers a short quiz for math tomorrow.

"My family eats lunch with friends. I study."

Two sentences to please their bright omega professor, though he doubted that he could do well for the next day.

Because whenever he thinks of math, he thinks of Seo Yoobin, and whenever he thinks of Seo Yoobin, he remembers how the lunch went, and lastly, when he remembers the lunch, he surely remembers Seo Chohee.

It ended well for him, I guess?

When he spotted her in a blue jumper dress, she was walking through the large gates without looking at him.

He was there, almost bumping her shoulders, but she just passed by as if he were a wind.

No glances, not a single breath in his direction.

Jisung had almost glared at her, though, thinking that she'd jump beside him like she'd always do.

Like she was used to.

And Jisung was frozen like a fish when he was proven wrong. Seo Chohee is really serious.

"You didn't come to Jeno's last Wednesday," Chenle pouted. "You could've taken my side when I cursed at him for making out with Renjun on the couch."

"I already said mom won't let me," Jisung defended.

"Still! And you've not called me since then! Have you got another best friend in your class?"

"Le" Jisung sighed. There's no way he can say another thoughtless word when Zhong Chenle is pouting like a mad baby.

That Chinese omega always gets what he wants.

"Fine. What do you want?"

"Can I sit in tomorrow?" Chenle excitedly asked.

"I'm sure you can't," he answered immediately.

"Have you asked the teacher?"

"Have you asked the dean?" he retorted.

"Don't you play smart with me, Park Jisung!"

"Oh, I'm sure I would be, after taking more classes."

Chenle just tutted as he ran his eyes around the cafeteria—which he tricked the guard into thinking he had an urgent transaction in Finances just to enter, by the way—and slapped the pure alpha's arm continuously to get his attention.

"Ouch what–"

"That's Chohee!" the omega squealed. "CHOHEE!"
