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

Sunoo had given up all hope that he’d ever get the letter back. He had decided to hole himself up in his room and browse the dark web to find out how to fake his death and flee the country, when Jungwon interrupted him.

He must have made quite a pathetic sight, wrapped up in a blanket burrito and asking Naver to take him to the dark web. So, Jungwon had taken pity on him and had instructed Sunoo to get dressed and meet him by the front door.

When Sunoo had asked him why, all he’d gotten was a cryptic smile in return.

“Because Jungwonnie’s gonna fix everything. As usual.”

Twenty minutes later, Sunoo found himself making his way into the campus convenience store. He had expected Jungwon, but Heeseung and Jake being there too was an unwelcome surprise.

“I saw that Wonbin guy again and he was looking at me funny.” Jake told Sunoo who stared blankly back at the alpha.

“Don’t worry about it.” Sunoo said and then turned to Jungwon. “I wish Jay hyung was here with us on this field trip!”

“The less people we have the better.” Jungwon said, narrowing his cat-like eyes up ahead at where Heeseung and Jake were trying to walk faster than the other.

“I thought you said you were gonna help Snoo?” Heeseung complained. He looked over his shoulder at Jungwon, where the omega was walking with brisk, purposeful strides. Like a cute little politician on a campaign trail.

“We are.”

“Then why are we going into a 7/11?” Heeseung asked, craning his neck upwards at the sign as if trying to see if the store was a front for something else.

“You really don’t know anything, do you?” Jungwon shook his head sympathetically. “Hyung, that’s why I’m our pack leader and you’re not.”

“Hey, keep my knot out of your mouth!” Heeseung said, sharing a laugh with Jake when his words made Jungwon blush indignantly.

“Yeah! The only mouth Heeseung hyung wants his knot in is Sunoo’s- !” Jake added.

Jungwon, who had been holding the door open for Sunoo to slip inside the store, abruptly slammed it shut in Heeseung and Jake’s face.

Despite his embarrassment, Sunoo couldn’t help but giggle at how offended the two alphas looked through the glass.

“Well, what now?” Sunoo put his hands on his hips and looked around the store, wondering how the racks of soda and chips and gum and ramen would help him out.

“Don’t worry your pretty little head over it.” Jungwon reassured Sunoo who felt thoroughly taken care of. “I told you, I’m gonna handle it. Go pick out a snack.”

Jungwon cast a narrow eyed glance over at where the cashier was busy chatting with a customer.

“I need to talk to him.”

“Okay!” Sunoo chirped, and went to go pick out something sugary in some cute packaging.

Sunoo had just picked out some pepero when he noticed Jungwon was still lingering near the cash counter. With Heeseung and Jake busy arguing over condoms in the contraceptive aisle, Sunoo’s decision on which one of his friends to join was an easy one.

Up close, Sunoo could see that the cashier was a handsome young alpha. With a sharp face, full lips and windswept hair across his forehead, the guy was hot and he knew it. He was dressed in all black and taller than the display of lottery tickets next to him, with slender fingers adorned in silver rings that caught the light with every subtle movement.

A smirk lit up his face as he made the customer before him giggle, clearly succeeding in charming the panties off of the familiar looking omega.

“ -you are so sweet.” The omega was saying, as the cashier handed him his bag. “I haven’t been ID’ed in a while. You really cheered up this old man.”

“Of course I had to ID you. You don’t look a day over 19” The cashier said, reaching out to curl the omega’s fingers over the bag. If an ugly person had done that to him, Sunoo would have been freaked out. But this guy doing that had him flustered, and he was just standing in line watching!

“Stop it!” The omega laughed. “You’re so sweet. You must make a lucky omega very happy.”

“Don’t have anyone but myself.” The cashier shrugged and then jutted his thumb out at the porn magazines wrapped up in plastic behind him. “Well, these guys keep me company.”

The two of them shared a laugh before the omega moved to leave. Unfortunately, since Sunoo had been standing directly behind him engrossed in the scene before him like he was watching a drama, the two of them ended up colliding.

“…Kim Sunoo?”

Oh God! No wonder the omega had looked familiar! It was Yoon Jeonghan, one of Sunoo’s professors. He taught a course called ‘Modern Omegan Literature’ and there were over three hundred students in the course.

It was either a very good thing that he remembered Sunoo’s name or a very, very bad thing.

“Professor Yoon!” Sunoo chirped out, dropping down into a low bow. “It’s nice to see you!”

“Sunoo, I noticed that you still haven’t submitted your online midterm yet.” Jeonghan said and, alright, that was enough of that.

“Oh we’re not in class, we don’t have to talk about that!” Sunoo let out a nervous laugh, hoping he could also charm Jeonghan.

“Learning doesn’t stop when you leave the classroom, Sunoo.” Jeonghan scolded, and then he let out a laugh. “Ah, I’m just kidding. Get it in by the end of the week or forge a believable doctor’s note. I’ll see you later.”

With a little wave of his fingers back at the cashier, Jeonghan was gone.

The cashier was still smirking, clearly riding a high from his interaction with the attractive older omega. But, the smile immediately slid off his face as he made eye contact with Jungwon, replacing it with a look of utter contempt.

“What the fuck do you want?” The cashier groaned and his annoyance seemed to fuel Jungwon.

“I’m here to cash in a favor.” Jungwon placed his hands on the counter and leaned in close. “Riki.”
