Yunhyeong tears his eyes away from the TV when the doorbell rings. Pouting, he sinks further into the couch and calls for his roommate to get the door. "Bobby!" he yells, popping another pretzel into his mouth. "Hey, someone's at the door!" He doesn't hear a peep from his roommate. The doorbell goes off again.

Grumbling and groaning, Yunhyeong sets his bag of pretzels down on the coffee table in front of him and reluctantly slides off the couch to answer the door. He's still muttering curses to whoever is interrupting his show when he throws open the door to yell at the intruder only to shrink away in fear instead. An Alpha stands on the other side, arms crossed over his chest with a very unamused expression on his face. He all but glares at the beta in front of him.

"Is your roommate home?" he asks gruffly.

Yunhyeong nods his head obediently, feeling a bit faint. Bobby and he had just started rooming about six months ago, and the beta honestly likes his Alpha roommate. Bobby is surprisingly not territorial nor aggressive, and is comfortably lax with pretty much everything. He takes care of Yunhyeong well and is an all-around friendly guy. As such, Yunhyeong has grown a bit protective of his roommate, and, under normal stances, he most definitely would have demanded to know just who this Alpha thought he was, but the Alpha before him feels positively furious. Yunhyeong is too scared to fight him.

"One second. I'll go get him," he says meekly, allowing the door to shut as he stumbles off to Bobby's room.

Bobby looks up at his roommate when Yunhyeong opens the door to his room. Yunhyeong's face looks a bit pale and his hands are quivering slightly. Pulling his feet from his desk and the headphones off his ears, he gives the beta his full attention. "There's an Alpha at our door who smells like murder and death," the beta announces solemnly. Bobby quirks a brow at that description. "And he wants to talk to you. So, please, put on a shirt and do something about it." He leaves without another word.

Furrowing his brows together, Bobby scoots his desk chair out from under his desk and stands up. For about a minute he rummages through his laundry in search of a shirt to pull on. Then he stuffs a beanie over the top of his head and exits his room. As he makes his way down the hall to the front door, he passes by Yunhyeong's room where the beta is poking his head out from. He offers the Alpha a thumbs up of encouragement before ducking back inside and shutting his door. Bobby frowns when he hears the sound of the lock turning.

Shaking it off he heads to the front door and pulls it open. Sure enough he is greeted by a rather pissed off Alpha. Well, at least Yunhyeong warned him. "Uh, hi?" he greets the other. "Can I help you?"

Hanbin grunts, giving the Alpha in front of him a slow and intimidating once over. "Are you Bobby?" he asks gruffly.

The other Alpha opens his door a little wider - likely in an attempt to be friendly and open - however Hanbin responds aggressively, growling at the gesture. Does this guy not take him seriously? Does he not think Hanbin is a threat? Oh, he is a threat. He is so threatening. He should just wrangle this kid by the neck and be done with it. That'll teach him a lesson.

"Yes, why?"

Taking in a deep, calming breath Hanbin pushes all murderous thoughts to the back of his mind. "You know Donghyuk and Junhoe?"

He does perk up a bit at the mention of the two omegas though not enough to deeply offend Hanbin. "Well, I mean, sort of," he answers bashfully, "I only met them a few days ago. Live two floors up, yeah?"

Hanbin clenches his fists by his side. "Right," he grits out, annoyed, because he wants to hate this guy and tell him to fuck off and leave his friends alone, but he seems nice which makes it hard to be mean in turn. "Okay, look, I really hate to ask you this. Like, really, really hate it," Hanbin emphasizes pointlessly, "but can you help? Junhoe's not doing so hot right now. He's still in heat even though it should have ended two days ago, and he's been vomiting apparently."

Bobby's expresses concern at the last statement.Still vomiting? That can't be good.

"Anyways, Jinhwan - my mate - seems to be under the impression that an Alpha may help ease the heat which is probably causing the vomiting."

After he's finished explaining, Bobby only stares pointedly at him. "Uh, you're an Alpha," he reminds the other.

Hanbin rolls his eyes. "I'm well aware, and I would honestly rather help him myself than ask you, but Junhoe is adverse to it because Jinhwan is a mutual friend. Clearly."

"Clearly," Bobby agrees dryly but takes a step outside of his apartment anyways. "Alright, show me the way."
