Chapter Text
“Jeon!” Mingyu calls when his eyes land on that familiar figure in the distance, “can't believe I have to see ur face first thing in the morning” he says as the man turns to face him with that nasty scowl.
Wonwoo cocks a brow, looking Mingyu up and down once as the latter walks towards him, “You'd rather it's my dick?” he bites back and Mingyu huffs, rolling his eyes, “bitter as usual, aren’t we?” he asks.
“You’re the one who started it, Kim” Soonyoung growls from beside him, drawing Mingyu’s attention to him for a hot second before he turns to look at Wonwoo again, “What? Can’t speak for yourself?” he directs it towards Wonwoo.
Wonwoo rolls his eyes, flipping him off as he turns away, “Don't have the energy to indulge you today, Kim” he says, walking away but from the corner of his eye, Mingyu catches a glimpse of something interesting. He taps the side of Wonwoo’s neck with the back of his fingers, “is it cuz you’ve been getting busy these days?” he refers to the red patch on his neck and Wonwoo’s hand shoots up to grab his wrist, eyes raging as he turns to Mingyu, “don’t make me break this hand of yours, Kim”
Mingyu scoffs, leaning forth, “I don’t think you can, Jeon”
“Don’t try me” he narrows his eyes and Mingyu wants to punch that scowl off his face. He smirks, about to say something when their friends interrupt, “okay, break it up” Seokmin slides in between them as Minghao pulls Mingyu back, “forget it, Gyu”
Wonwoo and his friends don’t say a word and leave and it’s only now Mingyu realizes that a small crowd has gathered around them.
Mingyu huffs, and the crowd begins to disperse as Minghao, Seokmin and he walk to their class.
“Why do you bother with that Beta, Gyu?” Minghao asks and Mingyu shrugs, “it’s fun to annoy him. Love it when I get an expression on his poker face”
Minghao and Seokmin exchange a glance, and Mingyu squints, “what?”
Seokmin shrugs, “it sounds like that , yknow?”
“Like what?”
“Seokmin’s too nice to say you’re acting like a bully to likes to tease the one he likes” and Mingyu almost chokes on air, “me, like Jeon?” he laughs out loud, “you guys are fucking crazy. Plus, he’s a beta”
Minghao cocks a brow, “and since when have you cared about someone’s secondary gender? You’re the guy who stood up to those assholes who were bullying that omega kid. It’s just funny that you keep up this ‘asshole’ act when it comes to Wonwoo,”
Mingyu rolls his eyes, disregarding everything MInghao just said. Those psychiatry classes are eating away at his brain.
“Whatever,” Mingyu sighs, “If I wanted to court someone, it would be an Omega. Wealthy and sexy. Unlike Jeon who has no sex appeal whatsoever”
Seokmin scoffs, “I like that you manage to sneak Wonwoo into every conversation we have,”
Mingyu shrugs, “You're being delusional,” he dismisses, “plus, Jeon could never land me,” he says, flexing his biceps, “I’m too sexy,”
Seokmin and Minghao laugh as Mingyu wraps his arms around their neck, walking into the University building.
•───⋅☾ ☽⋅───•
Kim Mingyu and Jeon Wonwoo are popular names in the University.
Mingyu’s an alpha, and he’s also the Captain of the soccer team. He’s always the talk of the town and he hates to brag but he’s the most desirable Alpha of the University.
These aren’t his words, no. He was voted so by the student body during his first year after he shot into the limelight by scoring the winning goal in a tournament. There’s never a lack of people willing to fall at his feet and boost his massively inflated ego (or so Jeon says). Mingyu takes pride in it. And he thinks he could’ve been more popular had it not been for Jeon Wonwoo.
Jeon Wonwoo, that prick.
Mingyu can’t put into words how much Wonwoo’s existence bothers him. He was voted the most desirable Beta during the first year. Unlike Mingyu who got popular because of his soccer skills, Wonwoo shot to popularity thanks to his very useless area of expertise – mathematics.
Jeon Wonwoo became the talk of the town after he and his team beat the other University in Mathematics contest. No one cared about the Mathletes before Wonwoo became one. The buzz was around the fact that a mathlete could be so….ridiculously hot. Not Mingyu’s words, theirs. Jeon Wonwoo basically put Maths on the map. And quickly became the Ice Prince of their University, calm, composed, and reserved. Mingyu likes to think otherwise because he’s seen him break that character multiple times. Wonwoo’s not all that. Mingyu knows.
He’s unpleasant, rude and obnoxious.
As Mingyu walks to his car, he notices a crowd around it, like usual. When they notice his presence, they turn to him with gleaming eyes, “Mingyu!” and a plethora of scents hit his nose. Mingyu can tell at one sniff that they’re all omegas wanting Mingyu to court them. Mingyu puts on a pleasant smile, holding his breath because he cannot stand so many scents at once, “hey guys” he walks to open his door as they give him way but they don’t really leave his side, “Mingyu, do you have someone to help you with your rut yet?” one asks and Mingyu shakes his head, “No, been spending them alone”
They exchange glances, “that’s unfortunate. You don’t have to spend it alone, yknow? Ruts can get pretty exhausting and having an omega by your side is always beneficial. You just have to ask” she runs a hand up his arm and Mingyu chuckles dryly, escaping her touch and getting in his car, “I understand. Thank you for your concern, guys. But I’m good for now”
Their faces fall at yet another failed attempt to get Mingyu’s attention, and before they can say anything, Mingyu drives away from the suffocating concoction of scents.
•───⋅☾ ☽⋅───•
Mingyu doesn’t live far away.
Well, by his car it doesn’t seem far away. It’s at a good distance from the University and takes him about 30 minutes to get home. It’s an inconvenience but also necessary. Back when he used to live in the dorms, omegas would line up outside his room and while Mingyu enjoyed the attention, he quickly learned he’d rather have some privacy. He could never bear their scents, which was odd because Alphas are naturally attracted to an Omega’s scent.
Mingyu’s always been an atypical Alpha. He has a plethora of problems associated to his secondary gender, but he tries to look past them and move on with his life. Either way, with the help of his dad and after saving up some money from his part-time job, Mingyu’s able to afford a small apartment, all for himself. He lives in a building predominated by Betas and doesn’t have to worry about any scents. He can even spend his rut in his apartment instead of renting Hotels or Alpha dormitories.
He parks his car and gets off, quickly jogging in and taking the elevator up to his apartment. He greets the building owner on his way up, a sweet little lady, and glares at her grumpy old husband who doesn’t seem to like Mingyu very much. Whatever he doesn’t care. As he walks to his apartment, he rings up his mom.
“Hello," she answers the call.
“Hey, mom,”
“ Mingyu, honey, how are you? Have you eaten yet?”
Mingyu hums ,“ Yes, I have. How about you? How’s moving?”
Mingyu’s parents recently moved to a new neighborhood and have been busy packing and moving for a week now. He hopes they’re getting proper rest though.
“We’re almost done! The neighbors even came over to greet us” she chirps and Mingyu smiles, punching in the code to his apartment.
“That’s great, mom. And—“
“Ah, Mingyu-ah, your dad’s calling me over. I’ll talk to you later, okay? I have to go!” she says and before Mingyu can reply, she disconnects the call. Mingyu chuckles and tosses his phone on the couch, plopping onto it, tired. He'll get her later.
His Dad is an Alpha, his Mom is a beta. It was a love marriage, disapproved by his Dad’s family which is why they kicked him out of the family. His Dad cared more about his wife than inheritance and is hence happy living a humble life with his family. Naturally, Mingyu doesn’t have the wealth typical alphas do either. But he doesn’t mind. He’s been raised to prioritize relations more than money.
He stares up at the ceiling, wondering how different he is with his family and at University. If his mom knew the way he acts at University, she’d probably humble him with a few good smacks. Especially if she found the regular fights he picks with Wonwoo.
He clicks his tongue, tch, Wonwoo.
He can’t help but want to annoy the man whenever he sees him. They’re enemies after all. Arch rivals, nemeses, whatever you’d call it.
Minghao says there’s no point in picking a fight with Betas like him. It’s not that Mingyu is prejudiced against Betas. Only that generally, Betas aren’t as aggressive as Alphas. What’s the point of picking a fight with someone who’s not interested in indulging you?
But like Mingyu, Wonwoo’s also a little…different. And it’s because Mingyu knows what makes him different that it makes him want to tease him. And it’s a secret he’ll probably end up taking to the grave despite hating that beta bastard so much.
The door clicks open, alerting Mingyu. A sweet scent invades his senses and before he can turn around, he’s being pushed back onto the couch, slender legs straddling his thighs as lips crash against his fervently. Mingyu kisses back, locking his arms around that petite waist, eliciting a moan from none other than Jeon Wonwoo, who’s panting and whimpering in his arms right now. The kiss is anything but gentle as Mingyu licks into Wonwoo’s mouth immediately.
Mingyu breaks away, hands raising Wonwoo’s shirt over his head, tossing it to the ground as he inhales his intoxicating scent, nuzzling his nose in the junction of his shoulder and neck. His hands roam his chiseled body, feeling the taut muscles tense and relax.
“I thought your heat was over yesterday” he growls, biting into the shoulder, and Wonwoo groans, yanking Mingyu back to his lips. The kiss is hurried, rough, and urgent.
“Fuck, I thought so too” he moans into his mouth when Mingyu’s hands cup his ass, squeezing.
Wonwoo grinds down onto his lap, onto his erection and Mingyu grumbles, mustering the strength to lift Wonwoo up in his arms, lips interlocked as he carries him to the bedroom. He pushes him against the wall, biting and sucking his neck.
“Idiot,” Wonwoo hisses, “don’t fucking leave marks” his voice is weak and Mingyu can smell Wonwoo’s arousal dripping down his legs.
God, that’s so fucking hot.
“Can’t help it” Mingyu’s teeth dig into the flesh and Wonwoo throws his head back, locking his legs securely around Mingyu’s waist, “Asshole. Why did you point out that I have a hickey? Do you want people getting suspicious of us?” Wonwoo asks amidst gasps and moans.
Mingyu walks to his bedroom with Wonwoo in his arms, talking in between violent kisses, “you should’ve made an effort to hide it, baby. I’m not the one at fault here” He tosses Wonwoo onto the bed, getting rid of his own shirt before crawling over Wonwoo, whose cheeks are flushed red and eyes glossy, filled with lust. His body glistens with sweat, chest heaving, and Mingyu doesn’t think twice before dipping to capture his lips again.
“Fuck you, Kim Mingyu” Wonwoo bites his lip, his pants strained with his erection. Mingyu smirks, “I do the fucking, babe,”
Jeon Wonwoo and Kim Mingyu are enemies.
But Mingyu knows a lot more about Wonwoo than most, even his darkest secrets.
Like the fact that Jeon Wonwoo is actually an omega.
And that he often begs Kim Mingyu to fuck his brains out.
