ALPHA UNIVERSE #4: GORGEOUS

CHAPTER 43

The first three days of being mates are weird—at least that's what they said.

Jihye somehow smells of Renjun, and Renjun feels like his nose is playing with him when he sometimes releases the sweet fragrance of the omega.

Yes, their own scents are still stronger, and the main thing that you can smell, but if you smell them a lot longer, you can really make out a faint scent of them both.

Second, their empathetic selves They can now tell if their partner is in a good or bad mood.

Once, Renjun felt annoyed for an unknown reason, but when he noticed that the omega was in a foul mood, that's when he realized that their emotions were mirrored.

Third, their conscious bodies. There's not much, but when the two have a chance to cling to each other, it will go on for hours. It feels like their bodies have magnets, and space is a foreign thing.

Once, Jihye felt icky without Renjun beside her after just being separated for a few minutes.

Lastly, just their feelings in general. One glance, and they immediately knew what the other wanted. It's like their whole system is interconnected. The feeling of being completed and recharged with just one touch

By now, Jihye and Renjun are back in school—like, finally.

The teachers are already doubting why the omega is always absent for how many days, but they just decided to keep their mouths shut. Because if not Renjun, there's Jaehyun with her. Those dominants look always ready to beat a bitch up.

Jihye purposely wore a turtleneck. The bite mark still looks fresh, and she's also planning to surprise their friends first before showing it to everyone else.

So when lunch time came and Renjun was the one who came to their table and not Jaehyun, the whole friend group had their brows furrowed.

"Bro?", Dami arched a brow.

"Are we missing something?", Hyewon added.

Jihye just pulled Renjun between her and Mark.

The eldest alpha cleared his throat. "You smell unusual", he called out.

Chenle's brows furrowed more. "I can't smell anything."

"You just took a suppressant bub", Jisung reminded and shifted his gaze to the older dominant. "Of course you can't smell the mixed scents."

"Hold the fuck up!", Dami's limbs scrambled while recklessly leaning closer to Jihye beside her, making her chair turn sideways. "Did you both do it in school? Why the fuck can I smell that jerk from you?"

"Be careful, you might fall!", Hyewon forcefully pulled the former to sit properly and clicked her tongue. "What happened to you, Jihye?"

"Nothing?", the questioned omega innocently answered while opening the lunchboxes she packed for two.

"I wanna smell it too!", Chenle whined and shook his mate's arm. "Sungie, tell me!"
