Jisung sat at the table where the students and his coworker, Sunoo, were gathered. Every few seconds, he found himself glancing at his mate, Minho, who was sitting two tables away with his own students and coworker. Minho, an alpha, was also stealing glances at his omega. Their shared moments of eye contact were brief but filled with unspoken words, often interrupted by Jisung's students.

"Teacher, can I have your banana milk?" Jungkook, the little beta, asked with puppy eyes.

"Didn't you already have yours, Kookie?" Jisung asked.

"Yes, but you know Kookie likes to have more banana milk! So I can be strong like Joonie hyung," Jungkook exclaimed, mentioning his favorite, very intelligent hyung in the school.

"Here you go. Share with everyone," Jisung said, handing over his drink while noticing Sunoo's mischievous smile.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Sunoo? You're creeping me out," Jisung said to his omega coworker, who looked like a mischievous villain at the moment.

"So, what's going on?" Sunoo asked, stuffing food into his mouth.

"What do you mean?" Jisung asked again.

"Don't act dumb, Jisung! Who's that guy you've been exchanging eye contact with?" Sunoo asked.

"My mate."

"What—" Sunoo choked on his food in shock.

"Teacher, are you okay?" Taehyun, one of Sunoo's students, asked.

"Nothing, Boba. Just choked on my food," Sunoo said, calming himself before speaking again.

"You had a fu—"

"Language, Sunoo. The kids are here. Make sure they don't understand what we're talking about," Jisung said.

"They don't even pay attention to our chit-chats. After all, the kids have to learn these things too," Sunoo said, rolling his eyes.

"Man, I can't even stand in front of your attitude," Jisung sighed.

"Says the man with an ego higher than Everest! Anyway, now tell me, why didn't you tell me about your mate before? I shared about mine with you, right?" Sunoo asked with a pout.

"I met him when I was 12. Now it's our reunion. It's kinda hard to explain, Sunoo," Jisung said.

"Teacher, can we go and play with the other students?" Lily asked.

"Can you wait for a moment, Lily? I'll ask Sunghoon sir to take you guys out," Sunoo said, calling his mate who had driven the two omegas and the students to the competition club. Soon, a tall alpha walked in and took the kids out to play for a while since they had an hour left.

"Okay, now confess, Mr. Han," Sunoo demanded in a threatening tone.

"Yo, Kim, you're treating me like a criminal! Anyway, he's Minho. I met him when I was 12... and I got my heat that day. He said he got his rut that day too," Jisung said.

"You got your heat at 12? That's horrible, man," Sunoo said.

"After that, we never met again. And today, we met unexpectedly," Jisung giggled.

"So, what—"

"Excuse me?" A tall man interrupted the two omegas.

"You're James, right?" Sunoo asked the alpha.

"Yes. We met at the arts and crafts competition, right?" James said, taking a seat next to Jisung.

"Yes, I remember! Jisungie, this is James, an art teacher like me. James, this is Jisung, a music and mathematics teacher," Sunoo introduced.

"Hello. Nice to meet you," both Jisung and James said, shaking hands.

"Where's your mate? Didn't he come with you?" James asked Sunoo.

"He's with the kids."

"Hey, can you smell that?" James asked.

"What?" Sunoo asked, noticing the alpha sniffing the air.

"Some sweet scent... probably apple and honey," James said. Jisung panicked at the mention of his scent.

"Wait, is it from you, Jisung?" James asked, leaning closer to Jisung's neck. Though he wasn't too close, Jisung felt uncomfortable.

"Please move," Jisung muttered under his breath, hoping the alpha wouldn't hear.

"You're unmated, right? Do you need help? I can mark you temporarily. I don't think people here are that good," James said, trying to touch the omega's neck.

"Step back, mister," Minho said angrily, releasing his pheromones in a protective rage, making Jisung's situation even more difficult.

"Who are you? And who gave you the right to interrupt when I'm talking to someone?" James asked, ignoring Jisung's distress as he was nearly overwhelmed by his heat.

"I do, because he's my mate," Minho said, his voice laced with anger.

"Oh—Sorry, I didn't mean to touch him or anything. I just wanted to help him. Sorry again," James apologized.

"Please leave, and sorry for being rude," Minho said, and James left with a bow.

"M-Minho, Jisung is going into his heat right now," Sunoo stuttered.

"I think it's because of your pheromones! Please, get him home," Sunoo urged the alpha.

"But—what about Jisung's opinion? I can't just take him without his permission," Minho said.

"Just get me home," Jisung muttered, handing his phone to Minho. "The password is 2510. It has my address."

"Can you walk?" Minho asked, watching Jisung stand on trembling legs.

"I can. Sunoo, please take care of the kids. Minho, what about your students?" Jisung asked.

"Yoongi hyung will take care of them. Hurry, we don't have much time," Minho said.

Soon, the mates got into Minho's car, and he drove straight to Jisung's home.
