"Bye bye Sannie~" Wooyoung waved to the other, walking to his first lecture on the other side of the campus. San was in front of the admissions office, saying his goodbye before going inside to greet the receptionist: "Morning Mrs. Baek."

The woman looked up with a smile, "Good morning, San. The paper works right here, they should arrive around 8 AM." San nodded and grabbed the manila folder with the papers containing the new students schedules and welcoming packets. "Oh, San?" Said boy hummed and looked back up at the receptionist, "They're all alphas so, just be careful yeah?" San smiled and nodded.

He checked the time on his watch, reading 7:37 AM. Knowing he had time to kill, he decided to take a glance at each of the three schedules that the folder held to get an idea as to where each of them would go.

As he skimmed through them, the door to the office opened and San took his eyes off the paper to look up at his golden retriever best friend, who took the seat right beside him and dropped his head on San's shoulder, yawning.

"What're you doing here, Yu?"

"Same reason you are. To show the newbies to their classes." His eyes were shut. It was obvious the taller was trying to get in some more sleep.

"Hm... there's three of them, so I guess one more person's showing around with us." Yunho hummed and San decided to let the boy get a few minutes of sleep, keeping quiet. Soon enough, soft snores were heard and Yunho was asleep on San's shoulder. The latter noticed how soft Yunho's pineapple scent was dulled down. He assumed he had taken scent duller's this morning, which was relatively smart. San should've done the same.

About ten minutes later, the door to the office opens yet again. He noticed San and Yunho and waved, moving to stand beside San, "Hey San." His voice was soft, and San was thankful he didn't decide to speak normally, which would've woken up the sleeping boy.

"Hey. I didn't know you did this kind of thing." San looked up, a questionable look on his face. Although he really was quite perfect for the job, having high grades and being a beta.

"Well, apparently since I'm 'trust-worthy,' my professors thought it was a good idea for me to show the new kids around." Yeosang shoved his hands into his pockets, leaning on the wall beside the two seats occupied currently.

San hummed.

"So... do we show all three around together, or do we each get a person?"

"We each get  a person. I took a look at the schedules and my classes overlap with a few of this guy, Park Seonghwa. Yunho's also majoring in the same thing as Song Mingi, so that leaves Choi Jongho. Hopefully that works for you, but here, take a look." San handed all three schedules to the older and sat in silence as he scanned all three, "Yeah, it works. He's in a few of my classes." 

"That's good." A silence fell over the two, a result from Yeosang being Wooyoung's ex. San never wanted their friendship to get awkward after the break-up, but it's how it eventually ended up. But it seemed to slowly get better as time went on.

"How's Wooyoung?"

"Oh, he's-" San was interrupted by a grumble and groan from Yunho who moved his head off of San's shoulder and slowly opened his eyes.

"Oh hey Yeosang." Yunho mumbled after seeing the male beside San.

"Yu, do you have more scent duller's?"

The omega rubbed his eyes with one hand, squinting at San before nodding and taking out the box from his backpack. San got up to grab water from the machine across the room as Yunho asked, "Are they here yet?"

San was about to answer when he was cut off yet again by the admissions office opening and three new faces entering, all of them dressed in black from head to toe with overwhelming scents.

The first guy was fit. Like, as in he could probably split a person's head open with his bare hands. The most shocking thing about him was how his face was almost baby like, making it obvious he was young. The guy following the young one, was tall, maybe as tall as Yunho. He towered over the office—or at least that's what it seemed to San. As the last guy strode in, San couldn't get a good look at his face due to the mask that covered his face. Though, he felt strangely familiar.

The three paid no attention to the others as the receptionist greeted them. She had gestured to San, Yeosang, and Yunho, saying that they'd handle the rest and show you around the campus.

Finally, the three noticed them—or at least finally paid attention—to them. San quickly swallowed the pills down with the water, walking over to where Yeosang and Yunho were standing

"Welcome to Seoul University. I'm San, this is Yeosang, and this is Yunho." Due to Yunho still waking up from his nap, San had to take over for the introductions and welcomes, which he truly hated.

"Thank you. I'm Jongho, this is Mingi, and lastly Seonghwa." San smiled sweetly and glanced at Seonghwa who he had to show around and was taken aback by how the other's eyes was already on him. Something about Seonghwa was so familiar, he swears that he had seen the male somewhere.

San noticed how he began staring and looked away from the other male.

"Look, I want to get this over with already so Mingi, Yunho's showing you around, Seonghwa, San. Jongho, you're with me."

San looked at Yeosang, partially shocked at the elder's bluntness, but glad. San didn't want to have to wait and take forever to show a person around.

Once all six left the office, they split up into their respective parts of campus, beginning the tour.

That left Seonghwa and San together. The latter could feel Seonghwa's intense gaze on him as he took a quick look at the schedule, ignoring how his scent filled up San's senses.

"Uh, so your first class is finance. It's in building two, which I can show you the way I find easiest to get there." San began walking ahead. He heard the soft footsteps behind him as it went silent between the two. San was trying to figure out where he had seen the taller male before as they walked through the campus.

"Oh, here's the lounge. It's something that was put in last year from popular student demand. You can just chill here or something between classes." He heard Seonghwa hum behind him.

Farther down the hall, San spoke again, "I'm sorry—but have I met you before?" He had finally turned around to face Seonghwa, looking up into the taller's dark eyes.

He hummed, "I'm not sure... have we?" There was a hint of amusement in his tone, and San knew the voice. Everything about Seonghwa was familiar—his eyes, scent, hair, voice— the answer to where he had met him at the tip of his tongue. He took a step forward, head tilted slightly, he kept walking forward as San backed up, feeling so small compared to the other.

As San took his last step, he bumped into the hallway wall. Seonghwa was now able to get closer, their noses centimeters away from each other.

"Um Seonghwa what are you—"

"Hm... I guess you really don't remember." He backed off a bit, only putting a few more centimeters between them.

"Maybe..." San brought his hands up to Seonghwa's face, hands reaching behind the strings of the mask, "if you took this off..." San unhooked the mask from Seonghwa's face and moved his hands down, finally getting a full look at the other's face. San's eyes moved his eyes down Seonghwa's face, getting a strong sense of déjà vu. His eyes flickered down to Seonghwa' lips, then up to his eyes.

San's lips formed a small pout when he still couldn't remember where he had met Seonghwa. Said male chuckled and San pouted harder, "What's funny?"

"Nothing, you're just cute." San's eyes widened, and he felt his face heat up.

"I still don't know where I met you..." San looked anywhere, but Seonghwa's eyes, voice soft and quiet.

"Maybe this will help you." Seonghwa moved his hand up to cup San's face, his hand moving down so that his thumb could feel the soft touch of San's lips before moving down his neck, pulling his sweater to reveal the skin underneath that was dark with purple hickeys trailing on his collar bone. The pad of his thumb lightly tracing over them. Without even having to look, San already knew what Seonghwa had revealed.

"Sorry to put them in such a high place." And that's when it all clicked.

Seonghwa was last night's hook up.
