Together

chapter three.

Sunghoon and Jake stared at each other for a bit until the color in their eyes flickered away, their eyes returning to their natural color. Awkwardly Jake cleared his throat and began fidgeting unsure of what to do. 

"So uh, you're my mate?" he says unsure. Sunghoon didn't say anything as his eyes linger on Jakes form a second longer before he turns to Sunoo and then back to Jake again. 

"Um-" he didn't know what to say. What would someone even say in this situation? Instead of the alpha saying something Sunoo clears his throat getting Jakes attention. 

"He already has a mate," he says glaring slightly at the beta. Jake looks away from Sunghoon to look at Sunoo. His eyes trail over the small boy's frame before zoning in on his neck.

From across the table Sunghoon frowns already knowing what Jake was  looking for. He was looking for Sunghoon's bite mark on Sunoo's neck, claiming him as his mate. It was a mark Sunoo had yet to bare.

Sunghoon felt shame wash over him. It wasn't that he didn't want Sunoo to bare his mark, he did. He wanted everyone to know that he was Sunoo's and Sunoo was his but it had never been the right time.

"I think we should go," Sunghoon says standing abruptly. He didn't want to be in this situation any longer.

"what?" Jake questions looking at him with a frown. It hurt Sunghoon's heart to see his new mate looking at him with those puppy dog eyes but Sunghoon wasn't in the right mindset to deal with him right now. 

"Sunoo let's go now" he commands. Sunoo quickly scrambles out of the booth following Sunghoon out the door. 

"Sunghoon, what was that?" Sunoo questions once they're outside. Sunghoon huffs as he roughly puts his helmet on his head. 

"I don't know...I don't want to talk about it," he grunts.

"Something happened back there!" Sunoo protests. 

"No-"

"Sunghoon...he's your mate right?" Sunoo's voice breaks in the middle of his sentence and Sunghoon can see the hurt and confusion written all over his face. 

"No he's not. You are" Sunghoon says gently grabbing Sunoo by the waist, pulling him to his chest. 

"But he is too right? I saw it, I saw your eyes" Sunoo mutters against his mates chest. Gently Sunghoon uses his pointer finger to lift Sunoo's chin so the younger was looking at him. Seconds later Sunghoon leans down capturing Sunoo's lips in a soft kiss. 

As he kisses Sunoo, his mate, his love he can feel his body burning. He knows that it's because of Jake. He knows Jake is in there, watching them, watching him kiss Sunoo. As bad as it hurt Sunghoon's focus was on Sunoo right now, not Jake. He wasn't even sure what he was to Jake because how could someone have two mates? 

"Hoonie" Sunoo whimpers pulling away from the kiss. Sunghoon's grip on the younger had gotten too tight as Sunghoon got lost in his thoughts. 

"I'm sorry" he whispers but he doesn't know what he was apologizing for. The fact that he hurt him or that he had another mate, Sunghoon wasn't sure. Maybe it was both.

"Whether you bare my mark or not, you are my mate and I love you. Do you understand?" he says staring into Sunoo's hazel eyes. Sunoo nods a light blush forming on his cheeks. 

"Yes hyung," he whispers. Sunghoon smiles ever so slightly before pressing another small kiss to Sunoo's swollen lips.

"Good. Let's go now," he mutters. They climb on the back of the alpha's motorbike and head back to campus.

"I'll see you later yeah?" Sunghoon mutters once they're at Sunoo's dorm. Sunoo nods a smile on his lips. He leans up slightly pecking Sunghoon's cheek. 

"See you later," the omega says before disappearing into his dorm. Sunghoon frowns as he walks slowly to his dorm. 

Now in his room he laid in his bed staring at the ceiling. The moment from an hour ago replayed over and over in his head everything he said, and didn't say eating away at him. The look of both Sunoo and Jake was burned into his mind filling him with guilt. 

"ARGH WHY!" he shouts at the ceiling. His room mate, Jisung who was still unpresented flinches dropping his switch. 

"Y-you ok?" he questions slowly slipping the headphones off his ears. 

"Fine," Sunghoon grunts. He gets off his bed going to the desk to boot up his computer trying to find something to take his mind off the fact that he might have two mates.
