WHAT LINGERS AFTER~
I didn’t move from the chair for a long time after he left.The scent blocker dulled the heat, but it didn’t kill it.It just left me… hollow. Empty. Like something had started and never finished.
The spot on my neck still tingled.
His gloves hadn’t even touched skin—but my body remembered the weight of it anyway.Jeon Jungkook had touched me like I was dangerous and precious in the same breath.Like he didn’t want to want me.Like he already did.
I buried my face in my arms, ashamed of how badly I needed his approval.
The next day, I showed up to class early.Hair brushed. Uniform perfect. Scent scrubbed until I was raw.But I still caught the twitch of Jungkook’s nose when I walked in.Still saw the tight line of his jaw.
He didn’t look at me once during the lecture.But I watched him like a prayer.The way he paced. The tension in his shoulders. The way he wouldn’t meet my eyes.
.And when he finally dismissed us—
JEON JUNGKOOK (ALPHA/30 yrs)
“Taehyung. Stay behind.”
The other students filed out. I waited until the door clicked shut behind them.
He stood frozen beside his desk.
JEON JUNGKOOK (ALPHA/30 yrs)
“Did you use the blocker this morning?” I asked quietly.
KIM TAEHYUNG (OMEGA/19 yrs)
“Yes, sir.”
JEON JUNGKOOK (ALPHA/30 yrs)
“Good. Keep using it. I’ll give you more.”
KIM TAEHYUNG (OMEGA/19 yrs)
“Why are you helping me?”His throat bobbed
I shouldn’t answer.
But I did.
JEON JUNGKOOK (ALPHA/30 yrs)
“Because no one else will. And because I know what happens to Omegas who come into heat unclaimed in a place like this.”
His eyes flicked up to mine. And there it was again.
That scent.
Not heat. Not want.But just.....
HOPE
KIM TAEHYUNG (OMEGA/19 yrs)
“Professor—”
JEON JUNGKOOK (ALPHA/30 yrs)
“Don’t,” I cut in sharply. “Don’t say it. Whatever it is.”
He looked like he might cry. Or challenge me. I didn’t know which would be worse.
So I stepped away.Because the more time I spent near him, the harder it became to lie to myself.
The scent blocker still clung to my skin—but it was fading.I could feel it in the way people looked at me. Like I was glowing beneath my uniform. Like I was prey.
I Hated it.But… a small part of me liked being noticed.It was stupid.
I was halfway down the corridor to the east wing when someone stepped in front of me.
PARK JIHOON (BETA/23 yrs)
“Hey, pretty thing.”
I Stopped short.PARK-JIHOON. A third-year Beta. Too confident. Too sharp.
He leaned against the wall with a smirk that curled at the edges like smoke.
PARK JIHOON (BETA/23 yrs)
PARK JIHOON (BETA/23 yrs)
“You always walk this fast, or are you trying to out run something?”He glanced at my neck. His nostrils flared.
PARK JIHOON (BETA/23 yrs)
“Ah… so that’s what I’m picking up.”
PARK JIHOON (23/yrs) is a third-year Beta,known for his smooth charm and sharp tongue. Though not an Alpha, he carries himself with the same confidence—bordering on arrogance. He enjoys flirting, especially with Omegas, just to see them squirm. Clever, cocky, and always watching, Jihoon thrives on control through subtle manipulation
I took a step back.
He took a step forward.
KIM TAEHYUNG (OMEGA/19 yrs)
PARK JIHOON (BETA/23 yrs)
“Don’t worry. I’m not gonna touch you. Betas don’t bite, right?”His voice was smooth, teasing. But his eyes said something else.
My pulse raced. My instincts screamed. I didn’t want him near me.Not like this.Not anyone but—
That voice.Low. Sharp. And very, very Alpha.
KIM TAEHYUNG (OMEGA/19 yrs)
" Professor Jungkook" I mumbled
He stood at the end of the hall like he owned the space—and for a moment, it felt like he did. Even Jihoon straightened, scent dimming under the pressure.
KIM TAEHYUNG (OMEGA/19 yrs)
Jungkook’s eyes locked on me. Not on Jihoon.
JEON JUNGKOOK (ALPHA/30 yrs)
“My office. Now.”
He didn’t raise his voice.
But I moved. Fast.
He shouldn’t have looked scared.
Wasn’t angry at him. I was angry at myself. At Jihoon. At the system that sent untrained Omegas into crowded hallways without backup.
When he entered my office, I shut the door behind him.
JEON JUNGKOOK (ALPHA/30 yrs)
“Are you trying to get marked?”
KIM TAEHYUNG (OMEGA/19 yrs)
Taehyung flinched. “What—no! I didn’t do anything!”
JEON JUNGKOOK (ALPHA/30 yrs)
“Exactly,” I snapped. “You froze. You let him close in.”
KIM TAEHYUNG (OMEGA/19 yrs)
“I didn’t let him!” His voice cracked. “I didn’t know what to do. I—I don’t want him. I only—”
He bit his lip.Too late.I’d heard what almost slipped.
JEON JUNGKOOK (ALPHA/30 yrs)
“You only what?”
He didn’t answer.My instincts surged—sharp and stupid. I could smell his fear. And worse—his trust.
He trusted me.I walked to the cabinet and pulled out another vial.
JEON JUNGKOOK (ALPHA/30 yrs)
“New blocker. Stronger. You need it.”
KIM TAEHYUNG (OMEGA/19 yrs)
(He took it, hands trembling.)
KIM TAEHYUNG (OMEGA/19 yrs)
“Professor,” he said quietly. “Did I do something wrong?”
I stopped and Looked at him.
He was just a boy.But his scent had the power to undo me.
JEON JUNGKOOK (ALPHA/30 yrs)
“No,” I said finally. “The world did. You’re just trying to survive it.”
I didn’t say what I wanted to.
That I wanted to protect him.
That I wanted to tear into anyone who looked at him like a meal.
That i wanted to Mark him.
JEON JUNGKOOK (ALPHA/30 yrs)
“You’re dismissed.”
