“If you get us caught, I’m throwing you out the window.”

“You are so mean lately.” Jake pouted. “Man, I really hope we get this letter back so you can go back to giving me kisses everyday.”

Sunoo looked up from where he was rummaging through his bag for the key, a withering look on his face.

“I never gave you kisses everyday!”

“And I was thinking we can change that!” Jake said loudly, and Sunoo aggressively shushed him.

The two of them showed up at the alpha dorms early in the morning, hiding behind a plant in the hallway to watch Sunghoon leave. The sight of the alpha with damp hair and a flushed face from his shower had Sunoo nearly shoving leaves in his mouth to keep his whimpers in. Like a giraffe in heat at the zoo.

Right after Sunghoon had disappeared into the elevator, Jake and Sunoo had advanced.

“I kinda wish you’d let me keep the ski mask on.” Jake said, dragging a hand over the bottom of his face.

When Jake had shown up outside of the alpha dorms to meet Sunoo, he’d been wearing a ridiculous black ski mask over his face. Sunoo was surprised no one had called campus security on him before realizing the fabric was so thin that you could easily see the outline of Jake’s non threatening smile through it.

Sunoo had stood on his tiptoes and ripped it off immediately.

“And I kinda wish I had asked anyone else but you to come with me.” Sunoo huffed. He inserted the key into the door with bated breath.

“What?! Sunoo, don’t worry I’m gonna be the best guard dog ever!” Jake puffed his chest out with confidence. “You go inside and get your letter, and I’ll stay out here and make sure the coast is clear!”

“Hyung, please don’t get distracted by any omegas.” Sunoo pleaded.

“What are you talking about?” Jake laughed. “This is the alpha dorms!”

Sunoo wasn’t convinced.

“Where there’s a wolf, there’s a way.” Sunoo said, even though Jake was less of a wolf and more like a golden retriever who had accidentally wandered onto campus and joined a frat.

Sunoo turned the key in the door and let out a relieved breath when the lock clicked.

“Oh thank God.” Sunoo rested his forehead on the door. Not because he was smelling it! He was just emotionally exhausted! “I really thought Riki gave us a fake.”

“You know my bank called me afterwards because of suspicious activity on my account- .” Jake began, but Sunoo didn’t have time for the alpha’s waffling.

“We’ll talk about that later.” Sunoo told Jake, and held onto the door handle like a lifeline. “I’m going in.”

“Sunoo, if you don’t make it,” Jake began, a worried look on his face. “I promise I’ll never forget you!”

“Hyung, I’m not gonna die in there- !”

“I’ve always loved you.” Jake sniffed loudly and Sunoo just sighed.

“Hyung, I know you’re very obvious- .”

“Please be safe.” Jake said, and he looked so serious that it made Sunoo’s heart melt a little.

“Okay, I will.” Sunoo said, and offered Jake a smile. “Hey, if I die then I totally give you permission to use my death to get with an omega!”

“That makes me feel better.” Jake said and then looked over his shoulder as if already on the lookout for Sunghoon. “Now hurry! If Sunghoon comes back I’ll start barking like a dog!”

“Please don’t.”

“To alert you- !”

“Why would a dog be in the alpha dorms- ?”

“It wouldn’t be a dog, it’d be me!”

“Oh my God, okay.” Sunoo massaged his temples, feeling the weary spirit of Jungwon briefly possess him. “Fine. Bark like a dog if Sunghoon hyung shows up. But, also maybe distract him so I can leave without him ever knowing I was here?”

Jake straightened up and saluted.

“Snoo, yes Snoo!”

“Alright.” Sunoo took a deep breath and pushed the door open. “Wish me luck.”

Jake’s next words were drowned out by the sound of blood rushing in Sunoo’s ears. The scent of Sunghoon was overwhelming. It clung to every surface of the room, and it was like Sunoo had pressed his face into the alpha’s chest and taken a big whiff.

He had to brace himself on the doorway for a moment, trying to clear his head before stumbling inside.

Sunghoon’s room was a tiny one bedroom suite. He had no roommate, but no bathroom and seemed to make efficient use of the cramped space. There was a closet and twin sized bed in one corner, with faded colorful sheets and a fluffy comforter neatly folded at the end. The desk was empty save for a single laptop charging on top of it, and a single stuffed penguin sitting next to it. Identical to the one the alpha had given Sunoo.

It was enough to make Sunoo’s heart rate speed up again and he reached out to touch the toy, but hesitated. He was here for one reason only, and couldn’t mess up the placement of anything.

Even though Sunoo wanted to snoop, it was a relief how plain Sunghoon’s room was. The less he had to be distracted by, instead casting a brief glance over the room before starting his mission.

Sunoo didn’t have much to work with. The letter wasn’t on the bed or under the bed and it wasn’t on the desk or under the desk. It took less than a minute for him to begin panicking. He had seen the mail truck outside the dorms, the letter should have been delivered!

Riki, who had recently been added to their group chat, had suggested they attack the mailman on his route and Sunoo was starting to wish he had taken the baby alpha up on the suggestion…

“If I was a horny letter, where would I be?” Sunoo whispered to himself, eyeing the penguin and wondering if it was hiding anything.

There was only one more place to check, and Sunoo was dreading it.

He swallowed back a whimper and slowly eased open the door to Sunghoon’s closet. The smell was the strongest there, the mix of heady cologne and fresh laundry detergent and natural sweetness making Sunoo wish he had a gas mask on.

“You can do this…” Sunoo forced one foot in front of the other until he was inside of the tiny walk-in closet, just big enough to accommodate him alongside the racks of clothes and boxes of shoes.

Sunoo’s nose was directly pressed to a hoodie, the material rubbing against his skin and making spit choke in his mouth. Sunghoon’s enticing scent was practically in his lungs, drowning his brain and making it impossible to think.

He took one step forward and squeaked when his shoes made contact with a pair of boxer briefs on the floor.

Of course Sunghoon wore briefs! Boxers under his skating leggings would give him crazy panty lines! It wasn’t the thong that Sunoo had been fantasizing about ripping off with his teeth but- .

“Snoo, focus!” Sunoo gritted his teeth and delivered a slap to his own face to bring himself back to Earth.

With shaking hands, Sunoo began looking around to see if the letter had somehow been carelessly tossed inside.

Nothing. Hope began to bloom in Sunoo’s chest like a well cared for seed. Maybe Jake had been wrong! The letter hadn’t been delivered after all! It had gotten lost in the mail and would eventually be thrown in a landfill for a very confused bird to discover and bring back for its nest and- .

“Woof! Woof, woof, woof!”

Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck!
