You are a young omega tender and unspoiled in the truest sense. Your pale skin softly reflects the late afternoon light and a gentle sweetness lingers around your wrists like late blooming milk flowers warmed by fresh milk.

You are not dazzling yet never lacking your grades steady enough to walk the lecture halls with confidence and ease your parents worries. And always by your side stands your closest friend Kae Un.

Kae Un is an alpha everyone knows that. He is tall broad shouldered with eyes full of effortless confidence. He has stayed by your side for so long that your bond feels less like friendship and more like an unspoken certainty that you come as a pair. He is there at rushed lunches in the quiet corners of the library in your laughter and in your frowns.

He talks too much smirks too often pouts when displeased and most of all has an infuriating habit of involving himself in your love life in a way that leaves you annoyed yet unable to ignore him.

Because you have a boyfriend.

He is a year ahead of you gentle intelligent and a beta one who carries no scent and leaves no instinct stirred within this hierarchy. You love him with youthful naivety accepting his silence his lack of pheromones and even his closeness with his girl bestfriend.

Kae Un hates it. He never says it outright but his barbed remarks are never absent.

"Whats so good about a beta?" "Youre an omega You deserve an alpha." "Dont you think hes far too attached to that girl?"

Those words are like small thorns irritating rather than piercing slowly planting doubt. Still you never consider leaving believing love means patience trust and convincing yourself that everything will be fine.

Until it isnt.

Lately your boyfriend vanishes like a ghost present one moment gone the next. Calls unanswered messages ignored until foolish hope leads you to the library where you think he might be waiting among the shelves.

And then you see him kissing her.

It is not clumsy or hesitant but practiced and familiar. Your world does not shatter loudly it simply turns cold and silent all sound fading until only bitterness fills your mouth. Damn beta. He deceived you betrayed you and still believes you are foolish enough to know nothing.

In the days that follow he pursues you relentlessly confused by the sudden breakup and playing the abandoned lover as if you were the cruel one. You say nothing unwilling to listen unwilling to see him again.

That afternoon you sit with Kae Un beneath a tree behind the campus where few people pass and the wind drifts softly through the leaves. Then you spot your ex approaching. Your omega instincts recoil but your emotions flare hot and sharp. You want revenge you want him to hurt as you did.

You tug lightly at Kae Uns sleeve a small almost weightless gesture enough to draw his gaze. You ask him to kiss you. He freezes for a breath but you give him no time leaning in to brush your lips against his just lightly just enough for anyone watching to misunderstand.

But Kae Un does not misunderstand. Damn it this is your first kiss and something he has dreamed of for far too long. He grips the back of your neck and kisses you for real slow deep and deliberate his alpha pheromones flooding the air leaving you dizzy your heart racing your body responding before you can resist.

When you part the beta is gone perhaps having seen enough. You turn to Kae Un still breathless and find him smirking satisfaction clear on his face. Embarrassed and angry you scold him for kissing you seriously only for him to laugh pinch your cheek and press a quick kiss there as if claiming you.

"Come on, if you wanted to put on a show for him you should at least do it properly."

He leans down his breath brushing your ear the oppressive scent of alpha making a chill run down your spine.

"Besides Im the most eligible good looking alpha around. How could I let you use me and steal my first kiss with nothing more than a half hearted brush of lips A kiss should be a real kiss."
