Changbin nervously bit his lip. He didn't know how to respond to the younger being so abrupt. He stared down at his plate in front of him, doing everything possible to avoid eye contact with Seugmin.

"I-I know you already rejected me once, but things have changed since then. Isn't dating the logical answer with everything that's been happening?" Seungmin asked.

Changbin glanced up at the younger. Logical? He thought. I thought he wanted to date because he liked me? Changbin gritted his teeth. He knew he liked the younger, but it was different admitting that out loud. He's known deep down for a while that he had strong feelings for Seungmin.

"You don't have to answer right now, but just know I want to date."

Changbin blushed, he really didn't have a real excuse to say no, but the younger was making him feel embarrassed.

"You're cute when you blush."

Changbin's cheeks reddened even more and Seugmin let out a chuckle. The older wanted to run away and hide. He glanced up at the younger, who was smirking back at him.

"C-can you stop," Changbin whined out. Now hiding behind his hand.

Seungmin chuckled again, "Fine fine. I will stop, but in all seriousness hyung. What's so bad about dating me? Hmm?"

"I am not going to entertain you by answering that," Changbin said, rolling his eyes finally calming down from his embarrassment.

Suengmin laughed and Changbin couldn't help but smile too. Neither one of them brought it up again and finished their food talking about various other things. They finished clearing the table and cleaning up and Chagbin started to head to his room.

"Did you not want to go on a walk?"

"Umm yes I would like that," Changbin nodded while turning to look at the younger.

They decided to stay close to the apartment just in case Changbin started to feel overwhelmed. They walked pretty close together, every once in a while their hands would brush against each other making the older blush. He kept biting his lip, feeling nervous.

"If you wanted to hold my hand all you had to do was ask hyung," Seungmin teased. Bumping his shoulder into the older.

Changbin's face reddened. He couldn't even come up with a good comeback and just shyly grabbed the younger's hand, interlacing their figures. Much to Seungmin's surprise. The younger looked over at him and squeezed his hand. He squeezed back and looked over at Seungmin who smiled at him and he smiled back.

They continued their walk heading to the nearby park and only let go of each other when they reached the swings. Changbin happily sat down, let himself swing and breathed in the fresh air around them. It feels like forever since I've been outside like this, he thought.

Seungmin sat down on the swing next to Changbin and watched the older as he was all smiles and laughing while on the swings. His heart started to flutter, How is he even more adorable than usual? He thought to himself.

Changbin could feel the younger's eyes on him and turned to look at Seungmin. The younger was leaning closer to him and he blushed and turned to look away. They sat on the swings for a bit longer before deciding to head home.

"You're doing better than last time we went out," Seungmin said.

Changbin nodded in agreement. He was definitely handling being surrounded by other pheromones better than he was last time they were out on a walk. "Yes, thank you for helping me. I think I want to go back to work now."

Seungmin turned to look at the older concern written all over his face. "I don't know if that's a good idea."

"Why not? You just said I was doing better," Changbin asked as they reached the younger's apartment.

"Just because you are doing better doesn't mean that you can control your pheromones. Do you even realize when you are releasing pheromones?" Seungmin asked as they walked inside.

Changbin didn't answer, thinking about what the younger said. Do I know? I mean when I think about Seungmin it usually turns to us having sex. Is that because I am releasing pheromones? He thought.

Without realizing it he was already releasing pheromones, making Seungmin grit his teeth. He turned back towards the older and cornered him against the door. Changbin looked up at him, the his eyes wide.

Seungmin leaned in close, breathing in the older's intoxicating scent. "Do you even realize you're releasing pheromones right now?"

Changbin gulped having the younger so close to him was only making his pheromone release more. He watched as Seungmin stepped back from him. He could see the lust in the younger's eyes and images of their earlier activity popped into his head.

Seungmin turned away from the older, "Not every alpha is going to be able to walk away from this situation. I just don't want to see you get hurt. You need to learn not to release your pheromones at every moment you're turned on."

Changbin blushed, not realizing how obvious it was until this moment. "I-I'm sorry," he mumbled. "But I do want to go back to work. I've already taken off long enough. I-I will be careful I promise."

"You can just find a different job. One where you aren't going to be surrounded by alphas."

"But I like what we do and I'm good at it. Why do I have to give that up just because of other alphas?"

Seungmin turned back to the older. "I'm not trying to start an argument with you. If you want to go back I can't stop you. Just know that I don't like it."
