Their Beautiful Secret

3. The Freshman

"Kongpob!"

One of the alpha's classmates called his attention while he was busy counting the signatures on his booklet. He turned around and stopped in his tracks by the footpath. "Yeah, what's up?"

The classmate of his scratched his head, hesitating to tell what he wanted to say.

"Spit it out, Tew," Kongpob sighed.

"You see," Tee timidly spoke. "It's only the third day and I couldn't help but wonder how you were able to get signatures from the third years so easy."

Kongpob chuckled and motioned his classmate to hand his booklet to him. He nodded understandingly seeing it almost empty.

"Come with me." Kongpob walked ahead, waving Tee's booklet and the latter followed, happy and anticipating.

"Kongpob, you brought a friend!" Bright exclaimed as two freshmen arrived at the hazers' table in the cafeteria.

"Oooo…. Cutie!" Toota drawled. "What's your name?"

"Tew," the freshman answered.

"He's here to ask for signatures," Kongpob said while his eyes were on the head-hazer. Arthit was busy slurping his pink milk and reading a note. The young alpha smirked. "And I'm also here for the head-hazer's signature."

"You still don't have his?!" Prem, another hazer laughed.

"Shouldn't he be the first one you asked? Dude, what the hell?" Bright teased.

Grinning, Kongpob showed his booklet where he designed an empty page with roses especially for the third year with student ID 0206.

The hazers all burst into "awws" and "woah!"

"Hey, Arthit." Knott nudged on his best friend's arm. "You heard that?"

"Yeah? So?" Arthit replied.

"You won't get it so easy!" Bright whispered at Kongpob.

The young alpha fell confused, so did Tew who had no idea what was going on. Kongpob's special page for the head-hazer's signature got him even more baffled.

"Don't you see him ignoring you?" Toota uttered in hushed tones. "And he's been pissy all day."

"You're dead," Prem added blankly.

Kongpob turned his eyes back to the head-hazer. Arthit gave him a quick glance, but it was more of a side glare.

"Phi?"

"Yeah?" All hazers answered.

Tew wanted to laugh but given the tension, he held himself back. Then there's Knott's eyes boring hole at him. The alpha made him feel nervous, he hid behind Kongpob.

Tew is an omega.

"P'Arthit…"

The other hazers sighed and turned back at their table, wishing their head-hazer would give the freshman a break. Knott, Bright, Toota, and Prem, they all know the relationship between Arthit and Kongpob. Now they're worried for the latter.

"What do you want, 0062?" Arthit asked without looking up from his notes.

Gulping hard, Kongpob balled his fists. Arthit rarely gets mad but when he does, he's very cold. The young alpha hated it. More so because he didn't even know why his lover was mad at him.

"Can we talk?" Kongpob asked with a firm yet soft voice.

"We can talk here," Arthit replied. "This is the hazers table by the way, we don't like being interrupted when we're gathered here."
