You swung your intertwined hands as you walked beside Hyunjin, glancing up at him beneath the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees. Your soft honey-blond hair seemed to glow in the afternoon light.

Finally, both of your university third-semester exams were over, and Hyunjin had decided that you both would spend the entire day walking around the park, eating ice cream, and just being together.

Hyunjin was 20 while you were 19, only a year younger than your Alpha.

Hyunjin yawned, stretching his arms dramatically before shoving his free hand into his jacket pocket.

“I always take naps here when I skip class,” he smirked.

You let out an amused laugh at that, clearly unconvinced by his academic dedication.

What an inspiring scholar he was.

“I am inspiring,” Hyunjin said, grinning as if he could read your thoughts. “You’re just too enchanted by my jawline to notice the rest.”

You rolled your eyes, your cheeks warming slightly.

Delusional Alpha. And a very tall Alpha, too.

He had an effortlessly striking appearance, with sharp yet soft eyes that carried a calm, almost hypnotic intensity. His face was refined and perfectly balanced, featuring high cheekbones, a straight nose, and a clean, sculpted jawline that gave him an elegant profile under the shifting shadows of the trees.

His smooth, porcelain-like skin appeared flawless, making his features stand out even more. His lips were naturally full and well-defined, often resting in a subtle expression that looked both aloof and inviting.

Dark, layered hair framed his face perfectly, falling around his forehead and neck in a modern, slightly rebellious style. His overall look blended softness with edge, especially when paired with his favorite leather jackets, silver jewelry, and dark clothing.

Lean, tall, and impeccably well-proportioned, he carried himself with a quiet, undeniable confidence. His aura felt cool, charismatic, and mysterious—someone who seemed composed and reserved, yet completely impossible to ignore the moment he entered a room.

But in reality? He was the most dramatic Alpha out there. A total drama queen.

“Adorable Omega,” Hyunjin hummed, pulling you closer by your joined hands and nuzzling into the crook of your neck for a quick whiff. “Mmm. You still smell sweet. Like vanilla cupcakes and… my favorite pillow.”

A startled giggle escaped you, and you immediately tried to shove his face away, thoroughly embarrassed by the public display of affection.

You were just about to tell him to stop sniffing you like a weirdo and remind him that you were out in public when—

Suddenly, a sharp whistle echoed overhead.

Both of you looked up.

And out of nowhere, a tiny white-and-yellow bird swooped down through the branches as though it were on a very important mission.

Plop.

The cockatiel landed squarely on top of your head.

Perched right there on your soft hair, the lutino cockatiel looked completely at home, calmly taking in everything around it. Its bright yellow crest swept back like a little crown, occasionally shifting as it reacted to the sights and sounds of the park.

The same vivid yellow color covered its face, making the bird’s round, bright orange cheek patches stand out even more, looking almost like little spots of blush. The rest of its body was covered in soft, creamy-white feathers that gave it a clean, fluffy appearance.

From your perspective, you could feel its small, pinkish-grey feet gripping gently but securely onto your scalp as it balanced itself with absolute ease.

“…What the hell,” Hyunjin said, his eyes widening in pure disbelief.

The bird fluffed its feathers proudly and began chirping at full volume, as if it had chosen you as the grand stage for its personal concert.
