Unlike the Others

Chapter 6

Wooseok is walking outside of campus with Minhee and Jungmo by his sides, the youngest going on about how Donghyun was hanging out too much with a beta from the Arts department, the whiny tone that kept slipping into his voice making it clear how he felt about it. His phone vibrates inside his pocket and he slides it out while giving each boy a quick glance to see their reactions.

'I was craving some chicken feet and feel pretty gracious so drop by if you want me to treat you too'

"Wooseok are you listening?" He glances to the side to find himself faced with Minhee's disapproving face, the furrow on his brows and his lower lip tucked out in a pout. "With that smile on your face, I'm sure you're not."

He can't even deny Minhee's words, he can feel the smile his lips have formed without him realizing. Instead, he turns his smile into an apologetic one. "Sorry Mini, I'm sure Donghyun knows what he is doing anyways." Saying that spurts Minhee into another rant about how he can't be too sure, Donghyun while wise can be very naive if he involves his emotions too much.

He does have a point, Donghyun with his bright eyes and seemingly unlimited positivity can easily become a target for someone with the wrong intentions under a friendly mask.

But still, Wooseok trusts Donghyun's instincts and wits. If something does happen, well, Wooseok will have to make sure that beta doesn't dare to mess with Donghyun again but he'll get to it when he has to.

Right now he has his own issues to worry about regarding people with secondary genders different to his.

Or well, calling it an issue would probably be him overreacting, he's sure at least Yein, Donghyun and Minsoo would tell him as such, Jungmo and Sooil would worry and Minhee would stay neutral.

But it doesn't feel like an overreaction to him, at least not completely. This realization he had last week is bothering him in ways he's not sure how to feel about, what to do if he should even do something.

Its been over a month since he, Kim Wooseok an omega with a reputation to snap at every single alpha that looks his way started calling Lee Jinhyuk, one of the most popular alphas on campus, his friend.

Last week Wooseok realized that when Jinhyuk asks him to hang out there's always another couple of friends with them, at least one. When their mutual friends are not available Jinhyuk invites someone else that he introduces to Wooseok and they're never an alpha.

The omega thinks he should be ok with this. He enjoys spending time with their mutual friends too and the new ones he has made because of Jinhyuk are all very nice too like the adorable omega Hyeongjun and Seungyeon who like Wooseok didn't seem to fit the cliche of their secondary gender that is until he saw how utterly motherly he was with his boyfriend's younger brother.

So why is he feeling annoyed when he enters the small chicken place near their campus where Jinhyuk asked him to come if he wanted to take him up on the offer for free chicken legs and sees the alpha is not alone, a dimply and handsome omega sitting too close next to him.

Jinhyuk as if feeling Wooseok's stare on them glances up in his direction, the smile he already has on his thin lips broadening and waving at him to come closer.

Wooseok sits down in front of them on the other side of the table dropping his backpack on the chair next to his. "You didn't tell me Byungchan would come along." He mumbles before he can stop himself immediately regretting it when he can taste the bitterness in his tone and by the way the other omega leans away from Jinhyuk he knows he heard it just fine. "I would have invited Yein, you two got along really well last time." Is what he adds in an attempt to recover himself, an attempt of a smile forming in his face as he turns towards the other omega.
