No time to waste (on another pretty face) | SUNSUN 𐙚

  -˖𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒✧༘⋆-

The first time Sunoo had met Sunghoon was also, coincidentally, one of the worst days of his life.

It was the first day of Sunoo's second year at university and it was fucking hot. It had been hotter then the first time he had walked in on Jungwon and Jay hooking up, it had been hotter than Jake when he came back from his summer vacation in Australia all tanned and toned and with a disturbing amount of confidence for someone who was so short, it was hotter than Park Sunghoon himself!

A heat wave had chosen the first day of class to arrive unannounced, and throwing a cramped student apartment building with a broken A.C system into the equation resulted in a seriously pissed off Sunoo.

Waking up had been akin to the feeling of waking up in a punctured water bed. By the time Sunoo had sat down in his first class, there was a cartoonish backpack shape outline of sweat on the back of his shirt. It had been real bad.

So, Sunoo was misery personified by the time he met his best friend and roommate Jungwon for lunch. And while Sunoo subtly rubbed himself down with the ice cubes he had fished out of his glass of water, Jungwon had devised a genius plan for them to cool down at the campus pool.

But by the time they arrived at the recreation center, sweating with their swimsuits under their clothes and flip flops sticking to the concrete below, they had more bad news waiting for them.

"Sorry boys, I'm afraid I can't let you in."

They had been stopped from entering the building by one of the lifeguards on duty, a tall alpha with a name tag that read 'Jeno' on it. He had his buff arms crossed firmly against his broad chest, leaning against a glass wall that showcased the tantalizing sight of people having fun and splashing around in the pool. Sunoo wanted to be where the people were!

Sunoo, who was going crazy from the heat and with a brain that half melted like one of those Spongebob popsicles that ice cream trucks offered, felt like Jeno's words made zero sense.

"Why are you afraid?" Sunoo asked stupidly, since his mind felt like it was swimming in a soup of his own brain cells.

"Pool's at capacity sorry." Jeno said, offering the two omegas a sympathetic smile, eyes scrunching up into two cute little crescents. "It'd be a fire hazard if I let you in. Well. Not fire exactly. The opposite actually. Haha. That's a little lifeguard humor for you. We have fun here."

Bad news sounded way better coming from the lips of a hot alpha. Words coming from pouty lips, a strong jaw, a pronounced nose and such kind eyes...wearing a tight tank top and revealing arms so strong they could easily hold Sunoo by his ankles and dip him in the cool water like some french fries going into some ketchup...

"We're friends with one of the lifeguards who works here." Jungwon butt in. "His name is Jake Sim and he told us to tell you and you'll let us in no matter what."

Jeno made a face. It was just as handsome as his previous face, if not more.

"Jake? That guy doesn't work here anymore. He kept trying to offer CPR to omegas who weren't even drowning." Jeno explained with a haunted look in his eyes. "I walked in on him and one of the guys who ended up agreeing and...let's just say, I can't recommend usage of the hot tub for legal reasons."

In the span of ten seconds, Jungwon went through every negative emotion humanly possible as a reaction to that information.

"..Okay." Jungwon finally said after a pause of disbelief. "I'm going to unpack that later. For now...I think I need to get away from this pool."

"Good call." Jeno nodded wisely.

Sunoo grabbed Jungwon by the elbow, offering Jeno the most normal smile he could muster in his current insane and deranged state before pulling his best friend close.

"Yang Jungwon. I need to get into the pool right now!" Sunoo whispered loudly, shaking Jungwon like he was a vending machine refusing to deposit a can of soda. "I feel more hot and feverish than I am when I'm literally in heat. But instead of being covered in my own slick, I'm covered in my own sweat! That's literally bottom tier body fluid to be covered in!"

"Well, Kim Sunoo, there's no way they're letting us into the pool. And frankly, after hearing about Jake hyung's sexcapades, I don't want to go anywhere near the pool unless I'm in a hazmat suit." Jungwon whispered back with a scowl, clearly not appreciating being shaken like he was a brown sugar bubble tea.

"It happened in the hot tub, weren't you listening to the nice sexy alpha?" Sunoo said, voice rising as he was unable to contain his nerves. "We'd be FINE- ."

"I hate to interrupt-." Jeno said, with the guilty smile of someone who had clearly been listening in on them. "But the rec center has an ice rink too. It's freezing in there, and usually empty since you have to pay to rent the skates. You could go there!"

"Huh. That's a good idea." Jungwon said, looking around the large building as if seeing it for the first time. There was indeed an entrance clearly made for an ice rink behind them and there was no line to be found.

"You are so nice and sexy and smart." Sunoo told Jeno in awe. "If I was ever drowning, I'd want you to give me mouth to mouth!"

"Thanks!" Jeno said nonchalantly, clearly used to hearing that from omegas. He offered them both his best customer service smiles before turning to leave.

"Wait." Unable to help himself, Sunoo called out to Jeno. "...who was the other omega with Jake hyung?"

Jeno's eyes darkened, looking down and shaking his head as if trying to rid himself of a nightmare that continued to plague him.

"I wouldn't know." Jeno said, slowly as if it was hard to get the next words out. "All I saw was Jake. The other guy was underwater..."

"Why would he be underwater?" Sunoo wondered out loud after Jungwon had dragged him away, not wanting to bother nice sexy Jeno any longer.

"Because he was probably underwater sucking some down under..." Jungwon trailed off, looking around to make sure no one was near them before continuing in a hushed voice. "Some down under dick..."

"That's gross!" Sunoo squealed in disgust before thinking about it for another moment. "Wait. That's kinda hot."

"We need to cool you down right now." Jungwon declared, eyeing Sunoo with an unimpressed look. "And maybe hose you off."

"Ooh, that sounds hot too!"
