And really, that should have been the end of that.

Sunghoon should have been another one of Sunoo’s brief crushes that he usually got over after the guy left his line of sight, like babies with object permanence. Out of sight, out of mind baby!

See, Sunoo tended to fall in love with pretty much every alpha he had ever met. His very first crush had apparently been at the tender age of eleven months old where he became obsessed with the weatherman on TV and burst into tears anytime his parents tried to change the channel. His sister loved to tell that story unprompted and often.

It had only gotten worse in university.

Sunoo couldn’t go ten feet on campus without stumbling upon an alpha hottie with a total body! He fell for his Japanese literature TA who totally only gave Sunoo bad grades because he had been playing hard to get, he crushed on the alpha who worked at the gym smoothie bar and pulled apart apples with his bare hands before stuffing them in the juicer, and swooned over the guy who worked at the convenience store that gave him a free piece of gum up until he chased Sunoo down outside the shop to get the gum back.

But with Sunghoon…it felt different from the start.

Long after Sunoo left the ice rink, he couldn’t stop thinking of Sunghoon. He had been so nimble and quick on his feet, like a superhero saving Sunoo. And he was surprisingly graceful and delicate on the ice, moving so fluidly it made Sunoo’s breath catch in his throat at the mere memory. The alpha was so good looking and talented, it actually made Sunoo suspicious.

Sunghoon was definitely a murderer.

Well. As long as he kept his personal life and his murderer life separate, Sunoo could learn to live with that side of his future alpha!

Originally, Sunoo’s plan was to pretend to run into Sunghoon again around the ice rink, this time preferably with the omega on solid ground. For days he practiced conversation topics in the shower, on his way to class and before he went to sleep, just so he wouldn’t be caught tongue tied again. The vow of silence thing couldn’t possibly work twice.

But fate seemed to have a funny way of sneaking up on Sunoo.

A few days after the fateful meeting on the ice, Sunoo found himself in line at the campus coffee shop. He was more focused on his phone screen than his place in line, as Jake was documenting his disastrous attempts to dye his hair blonde after seeing Lee Felix do it and wanting to either be him or impress him. Sunoo wasn’t entirely sure.

The sound of someone clearing their throat had Sunoo’s head shooting up and he did a cartoonish double take at the sight of Sunghoon in front of him in line.

Instead of a tracksuit, Sunghoon was dressed casually in a pair of skinny jeans and an oversized button up. He had a baseball hat pulled low over his eyes but it wasn’t enough to hide his handsome face entirely, something Sunoo was immensely grateful for.

“Hey!” The alpha said, leaning one arm on the counter in front of him and smiling down at Sunoo. “Funny running into you again.”

Because Sunoo was the dumbest person alive and a danger to himself and everyone around him, he ended up blurting out;

“Am I dreaming?” Sunoo said and then immediately tried to take it back in a panicked hurry. “I mean. Of course I’m not dreaming. I have my phone with me. You ever notice how you never have your phone in your dreams isn’t that weird? I mean. You might have your phone in your dreams. I don’t know you. Not that I don’t want to know you, it’s just- .”
