There was an awkward tension between them. Jungwon could feel a faint tingling under his fingertips as he holds Sunghoon's hand but there were no words exchanged between them. Jungwon blames himself. He didn't think he would be so nervous for today. It's not like this was his first date, Jay had taken him on plenty. This was his first date with Sunghoon and it was already going poorly thanks to him.

Jungwon couldn't help it. It wasn't like he wanted to feel like this. He just couldn't shake off his poor sleep. The last time he'd felt like this, his body buzzing with extra energy and feeling the world shifting from under his feet, was when he'd met Jay for the first time. He couldn't explain it at the time but the moment he met Jay he knew everything would change. Two years later Jungwon presented as an omega and the second he locked eyes with Jay he knew.

This situation with Sunghoon was entirely different, they aren't mates, Jungwon knows that for sure. They're not fated to be but something is meant to happen between them. Something that will change the directory of their relationship forever. Jungwon's mind had been stuck on it since Sunghoon asked him on the date. Would it be amazing, good, terrible? Would Sunghoon only see him as a packmate or something more? Would Sunghoon kiss him and if he did would it be good? Would Jungwon be addicted to kissing Sunghoon? The first time the alpha scented him Sunghoon kissed his neck. Jungwon thought about the way his lips felt on his skin. Cold and not exactly soft like he'd imaged. They were a bit rough from being chapped and yet Jungwon enjoyed that more. It was real and not a fragment of his imagination. He couldn't (wouldn't) stop thinking about it.

"Did you see something you like?" Sunghoon questions pulling Jungwon out of his fantasy.

"Huh?"

"Your scent. It spiked. Did you see something you wanted to do?" Sunghoon questions. His lips quirk into a smirk seeing Jungwon's ears tint a dark shade of pink. He'd been unaware his scent was leaking carelessly, all gooey and sweet.

"I was thinking of you." Jungwon feels a wave of heat crash over him as his embarrassment welcomes his body. It makes him feel incredibly shy and small but if he wants anything to change between him and Sunghoon he has to start being honest with himself and Sunghoon.

Sunghoon chuckles, before biting the tip of his tongue. "Ya know...if you keep this up you'll end up being cuter than Sunoo." he fights hard against his blush, opting to turn his embarrassment onto Jungwon and tease him. Sunghoon is still unsure what Jungwon wants from him. An alpha's comfort without the relationship? Or does Jungwon want him like he wants Jungwon?

"Don't say lies. There's no way I'd be cuter than Sunoo..."

"It's very possible." Sunghoon says before lifting Jungwon's chin to keep eye contact with the younger. "To me, Sunoo is my prettiest omega and Jungwon is my cutest omega. You both are different and that's a good thing yeah?"

"Yeah" Jungwon swoons. Sure being called a "cute omega" was a bit slighting but Sunghoon called him his. His omega.

"L-let's go do...that!" Jungwon says, pointing to one of the booths. "Come on hyung lets go!" he says, tugging at Sunghoon's hand. The older purposefully plants his heels in the ground making it more difficult for Jungwon to pull him along.

"Hyung!" Jungwon laughs while still pulling. Sunghoon smiles back all toothy and wide before taking off in a sprint bringing Jungwon with him.
