Wonwoo's POV:


After the class ended, Jun, Soonyoung, and I chatted for a while, catching up. Throughout the conversation, they avoided bringing up what happened last year, and I was really grateful for that. I, too, wanted to open up and tell them how I’m doing, but it just didn’t feel like the right time yet. It’s still the first day back! We finally promised each other to meet at lunchtime and then went our separate ways for the next class.

While walking through the hall, I heard someone whistle at me. "Omg, look at that ass! How come we didn’t suspect he was an Omega? If I had known, I would’ve taken him before that guy!" Knowing exactly whom he was referring to by saying "that guy" sent shivers down my spine. Just thinking about him made my stomach churn, but I tried to ignore it and kept walking. "Bro, even if he’s an Omega, he’s still a fucking guy! It’s disgusting to think I shared the same changing room as him in high school. What if he had done something to me?" His tone dripped with disgust, and that’s when I realized we went to the same high school.

Hearing what he said made my blood boil with anger, but I didn’t want to cause a scene. Instead, I turned back and looked him up and down. "Don’t worry, buddy. There wasn’t much to look at anyway," I said, my tone dripping with sass. His face turned red with anger, while his friend burst into laughter, impressed with my comeback. Satisfied with the reaction, I turned back and started walking away.

Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder. Before I could react, I was yanked back and thrown against the wall.

The back of my head banged against the wall from the sudden force, and I hissed in pain. I opened my eyes slowly and saw the guy who had mocked me towering over me. Just from his height and physique, I could tell he was an Alpha. "What did you say, bitch?!" he growled, grabbing my collar with his left hand. His right hand balled into a fist and rose into the air, ready to strike. I closed my eyes tightly, bracing myself for the punch. But it never came.

When I hesitantly opened my eyes, I saw another, taller guy gripping the Alpha’s raised fist firmly. My attacker and I both stared at the newcomer in confusion.

The Alpha yanked his fist back from the grip and snarled, "Who the hell are you?!" He shoved at the taller guy’s chest, but the man didn’t budge an inch.

The taller guy tilted his head slightly and replied, "Come on, man. People are here to study, unlike you. If you want to be violent, why don’t you go join a gang instead of wasting your talents here? You clearly belong on the streets," he said, his tone calm and his face wearing a gentle smile that, honestly, was a little creepy.

"If you’re such a model student, why don’t you mind your fucking business and go sit your pussy ass in your classroom?" the Alpha shot back mockingly.

The taller guy sighed, his smile dropping into a serious expression. "If you don’t want to leave this building on your own, that’s fine. I’ll make sure you crawl out of it," he said, his voice cold and sharp.

I saw the Alpha’s confidence waver as he took a step back. His friend quickly intervened, grabbing his arm and dragging him away while muttering an apology—not to me, but to the taller guy.

Leaning against the wall, I tried to process everything that had just happened.

"Hey, are you okay?" the taller guy asked, snapping me out of my daze. Slowly, I raised my head to look at him properly, and my breath hitched.

He was tall, standing at about 6'3", with a commanding presence. His facial features were sharp, with a well-defined jawline and high cheekbones, giving him a handsome, youthful look. His dark brown hair was styled to show his forehead, with a few strands falling over his expressive almond-shaped eyes. He had a muscular, athletic build, and to top it all off, there was a small mole on his nose—like a cherry on top of an already perfect cake.

Without realizing it, I kept staring at him, thinking, Wow, God is really unfair.

"Flick, flick!" He snapped his fingers in front of me, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Hey! I asked if you’re okay," he repeated, sliding his hand to the back of my head to check for any injury.

I flinched at his sudden touch, backing against the wall even more. He noticed my reaction and quickly pulled his hand back.

Clearing my throat nervously, I replied, "Y-Yeah, I-I’m fine!" My voice betrayed me with a stutter, and I mentally cursed myself. Embarrassed, I looked everywhere except his eyes.

"These Alphas don’t have the courage to stand up to people stronger than them, so they pick on Betas like you," he said, and my mind froze.

B-Beta? Oh, I guess he doesn’t know... I thought to myself.

"If they ever bother you again, just run. Don’t try to stand up to them—you’ll be the one who gets hurt," he added. I knew he meant well, but his words still stung my pride.

"By the way, my name is Kim Mingyu. What’s yours?" he asked, his gentle smile returning.

I hesitated, unsure whether to trust him. After what happened last year, trusting Alphas was a risk I wasn’t ready to take. Afraid of getting hurt again, I put on a straight face and met his gaze.

"Thanks for helping me, but let’s just stop there," I said curtly before turning and walking away without looking back.

I heard him sigh in disbelief, and I could feel his eyes on me until I rounded the corner.

When I got to my next class, the professor was already there, so I quickly settled into my seat. I tried to focus on the lecture, but my thoughts kept drifting back to the boy who had helped me in the hallway.

Was I too mean? I wondered, twirling my pen in my hand. Shaking my head to push the thoughts away, I let out a soft groan.

"Ugh... Kim Mingyu..." I muttered under my breath.
