A FLUTTERING HEART

When Sailub returned to school, there was still half an hour until the end of evening self-study.

He swiped his card at the back entrance, and the security guards, familiar with him, turned a blind eye and muttered, “Skipping class all the time won’t let you top the exams next time.”

Sailub smiled and waved at them.

As he walked into the school, every teaching building, from the first floor to the fourth floor, had its lights on, shining brightly in the dark night.

In each classroom, dozens of students were working on their school work, taking advantage of the ten-minute break between classes to chat and snack.

Pon was also among these students. He had probably finished his homework long ago, but today, without Sailub by his side, he could only lay bored on the desk alone.

Sailub followed the light from the streetlamp and arrived at the entrance of the teaching building.

However, he took a turn and went around to the other side.

He didn’t enter the classroom but headed for the southern building.

He swiped his card and entered the apartment building, he walked up the side stairs all the way to the rooftop.

The moonlight was clear as water, and there was no one there.

It was already late November, and the night breeze was chilly. He found a spot with backlighting and sat down, taking out a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it.

Because Pon disliked the smell, he rarely smoked.
In Pon’s words, smoking would make him short.

Sailub, who was already over 185 centimeters tall, pretended to be convinced.

Pon—when he thought of this name and the face that came to mind along with it, Sailub felt a slight ache in his chest.

Recently, although he didn’t show any abnormalities on the surface, every minute he spent beside Pon was torture for him.

To Sailub, Pon had always been like a brother to him.

They grew up together, attended the same school, and would find jobs in the future that are near each other. They would spend the next few decades together.

Until they’re old men with white hair, sitting together, basking in the sun on lounging chairs.

But other things, things unrelated to Pon, such as his love life, marriage, and having and raising children, he had never seriously considered it.

Just let things take their natural course; after all, he would always be with Pon in the end.

One by one, the people around him started dating, and Pon would occasionally nag in his ear about this cute omega or that beautiful beta. While he would agree on the surface, his heart remained calm and still.

He didn’t have anyone he liked.

No matter how beautiful and enchanting an omega was, no matter how sweet their pheromones were, it wasn’t enough to stir even a ripple in his heart.

Until Pon also presented as an omega.

Pon, who had grown up with him. Pon, who sat in his embrace while eating. Pon, who would fall asleep and want to be held by him.

...

Pon, who kissed him.

Sailub took another puff of his cigarette as he looked at the illuminated teaching building in the distance.
