Unpopular Kpop Industry Opinions

While everyone is probably waiting for me to write something for one of my stories, I wrote this because they are being heavily edited and I felt like it. Also people keep messaging or commenting on my stories with some of these things and now I’m setting them straight on how I feel. It’s unlikely that someone will change my mind, but you can try.

 1.  It’s okay to not like a person in a group or only like one member.

It’s a controversial opinion because we all want to believe in the unity of a group and people have begun to shame solo stans and call them out for being problematic. However, the reality is no one is going to like everyone, so why should someone have to like every single member of a group. Everyone is saying solo stans destroy a group, but it’s not people who solo stan idols, but people who in general hate on idols within the group. There are idols who get involved constantly in scandals or can just be plain uninteresting to people. No one should be forced to full heartedly support every member in a group. People like what they like. That being said those people who only like one member should be aware that when supporting the one member they like, they’re probably supporting the rest of the group as well.

 2.  Being an idol should be a job and not a lifestyle

So this one is a bit hard to explain, but I’ll do my best. When someone becomes an idol they give up a lot of different things from the ability to date someone to higher education opportunities. That being said I don’t think they should have to give up certain things like dating. However, they do, to an extent, have to please their fans and give up some of their privacy. NOT ALL of their privacy but SOME. Look at the early BTS logs where they gave fans a small peak into their dorm life, I’m talking that type of privacy. They should not be followed, their family members should not be followed, and their significant others should be left alone by the public.

 However, Idols need to realize that when they choose to reveal parts of their private life they can have backlash that is justifiable. For example, D.O. choosing to enter the army. He handled it in a smart professional way where he let SM release and official statement after it was discovered that he had submitted for military service. A bad example would be Sulli for posting a picture on vacation during the middle of Red Light promotions, despite both her and SM making a statement that she was sick. While she is entitled to a mental health holiday it was dumb to post a picture or let a picture be posted. Her job was to be an idol and promote with f(x), but it looked really bad when she was at the beach having fun while the other members were all at music show recordings. Especially when later Krystal ended up fainting from overworking during the same time period. She was dealing with a lot of scandals at the time, but it’s not really an excuse. Look at it this way, if you called in sick for work during an important time, where it’s busy and were friends with your boss and coworkers on social media, you wouldn’t post about how much fun you’re having at the beach.

 It is an idol’s job to maintain their image, but they’re people as well.

 3.  Hyuna made the right choice by revealing her relationship with E-Dawn even though Cube denied it

This was a huge issue at the time and it basically blew every other thing currently happening in the Kpop world away when they two came forward with their relationship while their company denied it. One of the issues it also blew away was the fact that the entire Kpop community online was referring to Hyuna as a sexual predator for the way that she was interacting with E-Dawn with petitions popping up to have her charged with sexual harassment and kicked out of Cube. All this was happening during the time that #Metoo entered South Korea, so many people became invested in Hyuna and E-Dawn before they were even officially announced for the fact that many believed Hyuna was getting away with harassing him.

 At that point in time it would be unknown if Pentagon was going to continue to thrive after Shine, but one thing was certain was that if they didn’t confirm the relationship Hyuna’s career would be over and she would be labeled as a sexual predator. The two of them announcing the relationship saved Hyuna’s career. In all honesty, Hyuna is an amazing dancer and idol, however, she’s just an idol. While her image is seen as sexy and raunchy at times it’s not criminal and she needed to maintain it if she wanted to keep making money. When looking at E-Dawn there’s no denying he has talent, but Hyuna has been a part of the industry for so long that there’s no denying her career was worth more sentimentally to a lot of fans and quantitatively when it comes to income.

 I believe the two of them were smart enough to know that Hyuna could get picked up by another company. I also think they were smart enough to know that eventually when everything died down E-Dawn would probably be able to work as a producer or composer, even if he never got to perform on stage. If the two had not revealed their relationship pentagon would have still lost a lot of popularity due to the multiple dating scandals popping up and Hyuna probably wouldn’t have a career at all.

 4.  Twice is currently the only girl group from the big 3 companies that is actually interesting to WATCH

So in all honesty Twice isn’t really my thing, but I’m honestly a little sick of people hating on them and saying that Red Velvet and BlackPink are more talented. In all honesty, all 3 groups are talented. However, Twice seems to be the only group that has consistent stage presence and chemistry compared to the other two. Not to mention JYP has done an incredible job in styling them different for each concept and also changing up choreography and choreographers to make sure that each individual release isn’t the same. I think SM does a pretty good job with this when it comes to music videos and MVs, but when it comes to stage performances I don’t think they change it up that often. I also think one of the reasons that Bad Boy did so well was because it was truly different from everything they had done at that point. Also, sometimes the Red Velvet members don’t seem to mesh well together or look uncomfortable on stage. Part of it comes down to styling because both Irene and Joy were forced to wear revealing clothing that made it hard to do choreography wise. However, sometimes they just give lack luster performances though when it comes to stages, especially when compared with the other groups in their company that have great chemistry and stand out performances. That’s not to say they don’t have some absolutely phenomenal performances, but it’s sort of left up to chance. When it comes to BlackPink… Everything except for Stay is the same. The concept the style and even the choreographies and formations are the same and maybe they’re slightly elevated but not by much. A lot of choreography for BlackPink is done by the same choreographer and he has a tendency to use the same planes of motion when choregraphing for them and it’s starting to show. I also think this comes from there always being such a quick release for BlackPink, so not much time is given for the members of the team to prepare something new, so they use old concepts and things they know will look decent on stage. I also think that a lot of BlackPink’s music sounds the same and I also think that’s due to them rushing out what they know will sell.

 I just want to make it clear that all these groups have decent music. It’s just that you know you’ll get a good live performance (styling, choregraphy, and stage presence) from Twice, you can get some but not consistent lives from Red Velvet, and you’re getting almost the same performance from BlackPink. Not that BlackPink’s performances are bad, but it just feels like I may have seen it before.

 5.  Kpop fans need to get over it when someone says something negative about their groups in Western Media

So the main thing to note is I said negative, not racist. If someone says something racist it needs to be called out. However, when I think of this topic I think of Monbebe’s and Monsta X and NCT. I’m not going to lie I roll my eyes every time an interviewer asks these two groups about BTS, but I can also recognize that BTS is now what most people recognize as Kpop so the comparison is expected. I also even understand stupid comments like “I’ve never heard of them before”. It’s a fact that the larger world hasn’t heard of these groups. They’re allowed to dislike these groups and their music and make these comments because it’s their opinions, but fans can’t sit there and demand an apology from every person who makes a negative comment. It makes the larger Kpop fandom look bad as well as makes things more difficult for the groups. Western media does not operate on the same politeness that Korean media does, and fans need to recognize that. When they demand apologies for every little thing it makes people hesitant to work with Kpop groups in the future for fear of backlash and also may attract people who know they can draw attention to themselves by making fun of these groups and upsetting their fans. Neither is a good thing for Kpop groups.

 6.  Idols from the top 3 companies aren’t the most talented they’re the most marketable

So I’m not saying that groups from the big three companies aren’t talented because that’s just a straight up lie. Some of the biggest legends in Kpop come from the big three. When I started Kpop the joke was SM was 100% looks, YG was 20% looks 80% talent, and JYP was 100% talent. I sort of laughed at that then because I didn’t really believe it because of the groups in the companies. At the time Big Bang, Girls Generation, Miss A, 2Ne1, Shinee, and 2PM were super popular and all of these groups had undeniable talented, even though there are members of some of those groups that were put there just for looks all members could at least sing, dance, or rap(to a tolerable level). However, now I feel like the groups from the big three are lack luster. That could be because smaller companies have gotten better at promoting their idols, but I also think it’s because fans of kpop are more aware of marketing tactics. Idols get selected for groups because companies know they will sell not because they will be really talented. Take Irene for example, who is not particularly good at anything, but is exceptionally beautiful and an all around lovely human being. She was put there to draw attention for her looks not because she’s talented. Twice is another good example, when you look at the show they came from their were plenty of trainees who were eliminated who were as talented or more talented than the members when they first debuted. However, they were some of the more pretty and polished members as well as being high ranked on the fan voting. They literally added Tzuyu because they knew people would buy things with her face on it. At the end of the day although most people see kpop as music it’s a music industry and meant to make money. That means that people who will make these companies money get to debut. Part of the thing that attracts fans unfortunately is beauty and that probably won’t change anytime soon.

 7.  A visual position is one of the dumbest things to ever exist, but it will never disappear because of South Korea’s opinion on beauty.

I mean I had heard about how much appearances in South Korea mattered, but I don’t think it ever sank in how much they mattered in South Korea until I lived here. From mirrors literally everywhere (that people will stop to actually use) to how insanely young girls start dieting (Literally my 3rd grade student). Appearances matter here and will get you attention or completely shunned. I think it’s stupid that incredibly talented people will never get to debut because they don’t have the looks of an artist whether that be an idol or something else in this country. However, it’s never going to change. It’s something quintessential to kpop emphasis on the K for Korean, so it’s up to Korea if they want to change that and I don’t think they do.

Unpopular Opinion: The #Bullytoo Movement in Korea is not a good thing...

Content Warning: I am going to talk about bullying and #metoo please be aware of these things.

So if you follow Kpop entertainment news lately you might have been noticing that a lot of idols and entertainers in general are having accusations of bullying brought up. Many knetizens have been posting anonymously in online forums about the promoting idols that bullied them in the past some with evidence and others without evidence. So for those of you who don’t know that this is happening or don’t know why I wanted to take the time to discuss this and why it’s not a good thing.

This movement started when a JYP trainee Yoon Seobin went onto Produce 101 X and it was revealed that he was an “injin” or someone who smoked and drank alcohol as minor. Many people were upset and took to bashing him online. However, he really caught attention when a netizen then stepped up and claimed that he had bullied him with physical violence and he was essentially condemned by the rest of the country resulting in him being kicked off the show. This led to Knetzs starting a movement called the #bullytoo movement.

 The #bullytoo movement was designed to have people step up and name the idols that had bullied them in the past, much like the #metoo movement. However, there are a few key differences to keep in mind about these two movements. The main one being that while people in the #metoo movement were sometimes accused of sexual assault, it was mainly to show support to other victims of sexual assault or harassment. But, the #bullytoo movement is not a movement to impower those who were bullied, but is specifically designed to pick out those in the entertainment industry who had bullied before. Another key difference is that members of the #metoo movement did not remain anonymous online but revealed their identities despite all the backlash. Those with the #bullytoo movement have been anonymous posters online who have not had to reveal any personal information about themselves, including contact information. The main difference is one was started to show support and turned into something that exposed many people in the media and the other is one that was specifically started to target those in the media.

 So what’s the problem with this? Bullying is bad and is definitely a trauma that many people carry with them throughout their life. I’ve been one to mention that I’ve been bullied and carried a lot of that with me as well.

 Let’s start off with three major problems. The first is that it’s almost impossible to verify if these statements are true or not due to the posters being allowed to remain anonymous. The second is that people are being held accountable for actions that were committed when they were ten years old or actions that happened twenty years ago. The last, it’s turning an entire nation against people and publicly shaming them for their actions that may or may not be true.

 Okay let’s start with the first one where it’s impossible to verify if things are true or not. Recently Berry Good’s Daye was a part of the #bullytoo movement where anonymous netizens claimed that she had used violence against in a large group of people to target the accuser. The netizens stepped forward with proof that proved that they had known each other and said that Daye had transferred schools multiple times in order to keep her record clean. Knetzs were immediate to hop on this and began to drag and accuse her online, despite the fact that she had bee on hiatus due to health reasons. She was unable to directly connect with her accusers due to the anonymity of the website and it was up to them to contact her. The accusers like many others claimed that they wanted an apology, but made it hard to contact them. Hyolyn, former member of sistar, also ran into an issue of someone accusing her, but not wanting to meet up with anyone (her or her company) to settle the issue. Although her accuser eventually talked with her it was after the accuser posted screenshots of Hyolyn “ignoring” her. Hyolyn had been on a flight coming from over seas at the time the netizen was trying to contact her. The two of them eventually met up and settled the dispute. The main issue is that everyone is aware of the celebrities involved, but no one has any idea of what the background of the victims of bullying involved are and this has led to problems that I will discuss later on. It’s impossible for them to settle things or issue a sincere apology if people can no even contact those accusing them.

  The second issue is that people are being held accountable for actions that they did when they were so young that Hyolyn saying she does “not remember” is something happened is not a completely ridiculous reason. In Daye’s case, her accuser was talking about something that happened in sixth grade where she would have been somewhere around 10-12 years old. That’s incredibly young. Hyolyn’s case took place about 15 years ago as well. It’s hard to recall a situation that far back and be able to give a definite answer of what happened. This is something that those accusing them have an advantage over them because they can instantly claim they forgot everything once they became a celebrity and no longer care. Something that does happen and absolutely enrages people. So much so that it no longer matters what the accuser is saying, they can issue statements and not have to take responsibility where the idol will have to because their face is attached to it. The main issue though is that we are punishing people for action in the past. Everyone grows up from this time period and significantly matures and it’s unreasonable to hold people accountable for these actions. Especially because everyone makes mistakes at this age because they are children. You should not punish a fully grown adult for something they did as children, especially when at that time it is not only the responsibility of the person who bullied someone, but members of the school faculty that should have been involved preventing this. If people are having this hard of a time coping bullying that happened, it’s a messaged that the schools failed in not only preventing bullying, but offering proper care to their students after bullying and proper consequences to the bullies. Children are reliant to be taught what is right and what is wrong. Without guidance things like bullying will keep occurring.

 Lastly, I mentioned that it turns an entire nation against an entertainer to publicly shame and humiliate them. This is a huge problem with this movement. I’m sure some people are like “They bullied someone let them feel pain”. However, most of these #bullytoo movements haven’t actually been 100% true so far. So Hyolyn, Daye, and Yoon Seobin were some of the most publicized ones so I will talk about them and the consequences they have suffered. Hyolyn runs her own company and manages everything as the only promoting artist under her label. This set not only her as an artist, but everyone in her small label back. She ended up settling the dispute and many had assumed that she had paid of the netizen that had accused her. Others had also anonymously supported the bully, but someone who also attended Hyolyn’s school stepped up to remind people that Hyolyn had also been bullied a lot during this time, including instances by her accuser. This was also something Hyolyn discussed years ago, but it got very little attention. Other people had stepped up and said that they had been bullied by the accuser as well and this led to the accuser quickly removing all her posts and then finally meeting with Hyolyn to come to a conclusion. Essentially, both of them were guilty, but Hyolyn will be the only one to receive major damage from this. In the case of Daye, everything the netizen had claimed ended up being completely false and the netizen was proven to have not only bullied Daye, but many of her friends as well. Luckily Daye made a very clear statement that I would recommend reading here. Accusing her online was almost an extension of the bullying that had happened to Daye in elementary school and many netizens had bought into it and continually sent her hate. Yoon Seobin was a bit of an interesting case because he had yet to debut. However, the accusations of bullying resulted in him being let go from Produce 101 X and contributed to him being kicked out of JYP. This left him to deal with all the backlash without a representative and on his own, despite being incredibly young. He was also proven completely innocent of his bullying accusations by his former teacher and classmates (here). However, he still faced consequences that were from this false accusation.

 So, all these people face public shaming and a large amount of hate when they were not the only one’s guilty of these actions or did not commit these actions. They are still being punished for these actions, but why? So I’ll tell you one of the first things you learn when you study media (yay finally a use for my degree…). It’s that we as human beings gravitate toward negative news more than positive news. Only on a very slow news day do many articles with positive information get posted on most publication sites. This means that essentially everyone following the news was able to hear the accusations and formed the opinion that they were guilty, but when evidence of them being innocent came out most of it was ignored in favor of different articles. Because no one is aware that they were cleared many people will continue to carry that very negative view of these idols in their mind. In Hyolyn’s case she was cleared on Korea media sites, but many places that translate news or write about news in English ignored this information and instead began posting articles online of Daye and her alleged bullying.

 Okay so what the issue? Why is this a big deal this will all die down eventually and go back to normal?

 But will it? Essentially by validating all these anonymous posts with little evidence of actual bullying we’ve just empowered a whole new group of knetz. They’re now fully aware that with a large enough claim and a bit of evidence as simple as proof of knowing an idol at some point in their life they can get attention and even potentially money from false accusations. Daye’s accuser was even able to secure an interview on national television, during a news program to talk about her being bullied. We’ve essentially started an online witch hunt for any and all people who have bullied someone in the past. Maybe people really will bring forth serious bullying claims that need to be addressed, but so far there has only been one that has had photographic evidence that has since been taken down due threats of the company suing those posting them for defamation (PM me for details. I do not have pictures, but I will let you know who it was). At this point anyone who steps up with passable evidence will be approached by companies who are going to want to control this and this more often than not results in not just an apology like people claim to want, but results in them being paid off with money. At that point, no matter if the idol is innocent or guilty they will be blamed.

 I just want to make it clear that I am not condoning bullying in any way shape or form. I myself still have certain instances trigger my past bullying experiences, like Wendy in Red Velvet making fun of back women. However, this isn’t something Wendy did in the 6th grade, but something she did currently as a promoting idol. It is not the internets job to shame people for actions that took place in school years ago. It is the job of schools to step up and take care of these situations. It’s also important to recognize that people do change from when they’re in school to when they become adults. It’s also important to recognize that a lot of bullies who are children usually suffer in some way as well. One of my childhood bullies in middle school who was never violent with me, but verbally tormented me was actually going through a lot of emotional pain after losing her father in a car crash and I became the target of that anger. While that does not excuse her actions, it does mean that she was not taught how to deal properly with her emotions and after being put into grief counseling by the school and being forced to deal with her emotions properly she stopped bullying me and others. It was the actions of the adults around us as children that stopped this bullying.

 I also want to bring up that continuing to threaten people online is also a form of bullying. These people were accused of bullying, but then thousands of people proved that they were no better by flooding them with hate and threats. If someone truly wants to start fighting against bullying, they need to look at the policies surrounding bullying at schools and not punish these people years later for something that should have been settled then. It is not helping those currently suffering from bullying. It is only helping destroy years of work put into a career and getting money in these accusers pockets. It is essentially giving knetz even more power over human beings who now have to live in constant fear of false accusations. Perhaps, if this movement was actually bringing to light recent instances of bullying it wouldn’t be so bad, but these are past actions that many people grow out of due to the guidance of others or just by maturing into adults.

 Yes, it would be nice to for victims to receive a verbal apology from every person that had ever bullied them. However, if to get that apology they have to publicly shame them, destroy their career, and rally thousands of people to send them aggressive messages and threats, it makes them a current bully.

 Feel free to respectfully agree or disagree with me.

Omega Biology

Females Female omegas are known to be incredibly fertile. They are known for being homemakers traditionally, but now are seen in a variety of different roles in society. When it comes to heat their bodies produce a lot of slick. Female Omegas are said to experience the worst waves during their heat, meaning that they tend to experience incredible moments of want and need before becoming incredibly tired.

Males Male omegas are a bit more complicated than female omegas. They were never looked down upon by society and were normally seen as incredibly useful in the work force for being receptive to emotions and male. They hold multiple reproductive organs. They have the ability to produce fertile sperm to impregnate females and they hold reproductive eggs. The eggs are located in a passage way off the rectum. However, male omegas can only get pregnant during heats when this passage way opens up and produces an ample amount of slick. While out of heat male omegas produce slick it is usually not enough to make anal sex completely comfortable and the use of lube is needed.

Warnings: Smut. It's so long because I got carried away with the smut. I guess there's dirty talk too. Be warned, it's kinky up in this story and will probs only get kinkier as we continue.

OO00OO

To say that Jimin was ecstatic about your agreement with Yoongi would be the understatement of the year. The other omega was practically skipping around your apartment in joy, claiming he was cupid. He hadn’t shut up about it all week. He was constantly hovering over you eagerly waiting for Yoongi to message you. It made you wonder if you were Yoongi’s heat partner or if Jimin was.

You were working on your laptop when an email popped up from Yoongi. You clicked on it and tried not to gasp. It was a long list of everything that the two of you could try together. It was slightly shocking at just how long it was and just how much of it you didn’t really understand.

 That meant you could either go through the trouble of translating it yourself or ask someone.

 You got up from the sofa in the living room and knocked on Jimin’s bedroom door.

 Jimin opened the door and when the two of you made eye contact he began to grin. He knew exactly why you had knocked on his door.

 “Do come in.”

 He opened the door and gestured for you to come inside. He moved to sit on his bed and leaned back against the wall before patting the space next to him with a knowing grin on his face. You moved to sit next to him with your laptop.

 “I can’t really understand this.”

 You showed him the email from Yoongi and watched as Jimin’s eyebrows raised as he read through the list.

 “I would say that this isn’t usually need to know Korean vocabulary,” he replied. “Actually, I’d be slightly concerned if you knew all these words as a non-native speaker. I’d question your reasons to coming to South Korea.”

 “Got it… So are you going to explain it to me or not?”

 Jimin dramatically cleared his throat.

 “He says that he is an experimental dom. If he doesn’t know about something he is willing to try it once before making a decision about if he likes it or not. He wants to keep things mellow for your first heat though. He’ll keep these things in mind if you guys decide you want to continue your relationship. Which you will.”

 “Jimin focus.”

 “Fine.” Jimin eyes the list again before continuing. “I feel so awkward reading this to you.”

 “I know it’s like some Fifty Shades of Grey shit,” you replied.

 “Yoongi is a way better dom than Christian Grey.”

 “So, you’ve slept with Yoongi?”

 “I’ve slept with all of my friends except for you. So yes, but if it makes you feel better he’s never helped through my heats. Actually, it’s not something Yoongi does too often…”

 “When was the last time you think he had a heat partner?”

 “Two years ago, I think.” Jimin seemed to think it over. “She was a nice girl and I think they may have had a thing that they never made official. He never let her help him through his ruts. Despite the fact that he’s incredibly liberal he still sees sex as an intimate act. He’ll go to Jin and Namjoon’s parties, but he won’t take someone home unless he knows and trusts them. It’s sort of a big deal that he agreed to this arrangement. I’m not surprised, but it’s not something that happens often. Don’t sell yourself short.”

 “Thanks for the confidence boost. It’s just sort of weird… I mean I’ve never been so attracted to another individual before.”

 “Physically or emotionally?”

 “Physically for sure, but I don’t know about emotionally. I haven’t really talked to him a lot. It’s just whenever I’m near him I just feel this sense of comfort wash over me. I just feel safe. I think it’s because he saved me at that party. I don’t want to rush and say I have feelings for him because there is a possibility that maybe that’s the only reason I’m attracted to him. I don’t want to be attracted to someone by who I think they are, but I want to be attracted to someone for who they really are. If that makes sense? I might have worded that weirdly.”

 “No, it makes sense.” Jimin smiled to himself a bit. “I think that once you get to know him, you’re going to realize how perfect you are for each other. Those words actually sounded like something Yoongi would say.”

 You thought about it and it did seem that the two of you had quite a bit in common when it came to attitudes. Neither of you were exactly high energy nor were the two of you overly affectionate. Yet you had a feeling that both of your friend groups would describe the two of you as caring people.

 “Okay, Park Jimin,” you stated with a smile. “In your expert opinion as Min Yoongi’s good friend what can I do to make him happy?”

 Jimin hummed as he rubbed his chin in thought. You had posed the question half joking, but you were curious to find out the answer he would give.

 “I guess the number one thing you can do is not to wake him up when he is sleeping. Hyung tends to keep weird hours because he writes at all hours of the day. Sometimes he forgets to eat and sleep when he gets really into writing. We all sort of take turns checking in on him. We’ll add you to the rotation now that you’re his heat partner now.”

 “That’s right… He’s a pretty successful composer. I forget about that sometimes because he just seems so down to earth about it. He just started working for some entertainment company, right?”

 “Yeah, he was doing mostly freelance because no one would meet his conditions for hiring him until now. Which leads me to number two, respect his music. It’s truly everything to him. If he asks you about something give your honest opinion. Hyung hates people who lie to him.”

 “That’s another thing the two of us have in common then,” you stated.

 “Number three, he’ll never admit it, but above all hyung is an alpha. I mean obviously, but he is high on the dominance spectrum and I think he feels like it’s something he should be ashamed of because he doesn’t want to hurt anyone. He’ll never ask you to, but sometimes just indulge his inner alpha.”

 “Okay, but what does indulging an alpha entail?”

 “In my experience, a lot of scent marking and letting them give you back hugs. It’s a bit different for every alpha though.”

 “I’ll keep it in mind. Thanks Jimin.”

 “Any time (y/n).”

 OO00OO

 Yoongi felt a bit awkward about all of this. It was time for his weekly review with his company. Normally, it entailed him getting feedback on the songs he was writing as well as talking about demos with the different trainees that he wanted to produce. He only worked with three of them because he worked mostly on hip hop tracks and there were only three of them that could rap to a tolerable level. Two of them were still a work in progress though.

 This time though, the conversation was going to have to be a bit different. He was going to have to turn in a heat partner form with your name and expected date of heat as well as the date of his next rut. Although it was now illegal to dismiss employees for things related to heats and ruts, it was still often looked down upon if someone took too much time off for them.

 Yoongi happened to feel comfortable at this job. He got his own small studio and found all the employees tolerable. He didn’t want to jeopardize any of that. In all honesty though, he thought you might be worth it.

 Yoongi’s father had always talked about how he knew from the second he met Yoongi’s mother it was her that he was going to mate with. While Yoongi wasn’t sure yet if he felt that strongly about you, but this was the closest he could remember to ever feeling this way.

 He knocked on the door and was told to come in. He opened the door to see his boss, Bang Shihyuk sitting at his desk. He preferred to be called Bang PD-nim instead of the CEO, but he almost completely ran the entire company.

 “Yoongi, it’s good to see you. How have the songs been coming along?” he asked, as Yoongi moved to take the seat in front of his desk.

 “They’re slowly coming along. I think I should have something for the trainees to record in about two weeks…”

 “I thought you would have something done by next week?” the main said with a furrowed brow.

 “About that, I’m going to need to take some time off,” Yoongi said. He slid the document he had filled out with the proper information over to the man.

 The man took it and his eyes scanned over it. Yoongi watched as a smile started tugging over his lips.

 “I thought you were single?” Bang asked.

 “I was. I just recently met her. We’re not dating yet.”

 “You said yet.” Yoongi kept a straight face as the other man smirked before looking over the sheet. “I am looking forward to hearing your music after you begin your relationship. The sound will probably change.”

 “Hmm… I don’t know about that, but I would call her interesting to say the least.”

 “By the name I’m guessing she’s foreign. Does she speak Korean?”

 “Almost fluently. Sometimes she gets a few words mixed up, but her Korean is really good. More standard than mine if you want to get technical.”

 “I like your Daegu accent though. It was one of the reasons you stood out to me as an applicant when you were applying. Bring her by for a tour one day. I’d love to meet the woman that’s melted your heart.”

 “No one said she’s done that.”

 “You’re a very sincere person. If the two of you are just heat partners it won’t stay that way. You’d never make a move on the girl if you weren’t going to follow it up with something serious.”

 “She’s a difficult one to read.”

 “So are you. The two of you are perfect for each other.”

 “You haven’t even met her.”

 “I’m your boss, so I’m always right.” Yoongi held himself back from scoffing at the statement. The other man was always like this when it came to certain things. “Now let’s talk about your songs.”

 OO00OO

 You felt anxious sitting in class waiting for the lecture to be over. Yoongi was sitting in the front of the room like he always did. He seemed to be grading some assignments for the professor like usual. Taehyung was doodling on his notebook and you were trying to listen, but it was sort of hard.

 You had a printed-out version of the email Yoongi had sent you and for some reason you felt incredibly nervous about having to return it to him. You were also sure you had only understood about seventy percent of the Korean on it, even with Jimin’s help. In the same folder was the paperwork that Yoongi needed to fill out to grant him temporary access to your dorm building and apartment for your heat. The two of you had agreed to get coffee after your class before heading over to your dorm together to turn in the paperwork.

 You had been so lost in your own thought that you had barely registered that class was already over. Taehyung was grinning at you. He had probably been getting the play by play of what was happening from Jimin.

 Everyone started packing up their things.

 “Bye (y/n) have fun with hyung,” Taehyung said before leaving.

 You packed up your things, but weren’t in a hurry. Normally, Yoongi stayed to chat with the professor a bit before he left. You moved to wait outside for him. About five minutes later, Yoongi came out of the room and offered you a small smile.

 “Ready to go?” he asked.

 “Yeah, are we going to the same place we met up last time?” you asked, walking over to him. He nodded to you and the two of you began walking together.

 It felt weird. Not a bad weird, but weird. You didn’t really know how you should act around him yet. You didn’t actually know Yoongi all that well. You only really knew about his preferences in bed, which was something, but not exactly what you start a conversation with.

 “How was your day?” he asked.

 “It was pretty uneventful. I just went to class. What about you?”

 “I had a graduate course in the morning and then had to student teach. Overall, it was pretty boring.”

 “Ah I see…” You paused for a minute. “You write songs for an entertainment company, right? How is that going?”

 If you weren’t mistaken you watched as he seemed to perk up with something like pride at the mention of it. He seemed more relaxed than before as well.

 “I’ve got a good start on some new demos. I work for a smaller agency that’s getting ready to debut a new idol boy group in probably the next six months. They’re all pretty young, but they’re good kids.”

 “Do you like it? I mean I’ve heard a lot of good and bad things about the Korean entertainment industry.”

 “I like it, but I’m also at a smaller company. From what I hear some of the bigger ones are pretty problematic. I know for a fact that this company is taking good care of them. If I didn’t I would have never signed with them.”

 The two of you continue in conversation about his job. You had never realized how much work truly went into producing music. So far in class you had only covered the basics of music theory and just started writing scores. The things that Yoongi did though went beyond what you thought you could ever be capable of.

 Yoongi ordered the two of your drinks and filled out the rest of the paperwork while the two of you waited. When you got your drinks you both decided to drink them while walking back to the dorm. It was a pretty nice day outside. Fall was truly just beginning and there wouldn’t be too many nice days left before the weather started to cool down.

 The two of you finished your drinks by the time you arrived at the dorms. You went to the small office where the building manager was during the day. When you arrived, she was looking down at her phone screen with a look of displeasure across her face. You had only talked to her once when you had moved in on such short notice, but she was a nice omega woman in her early thirties. She had been helpful and caring, but a little stressed out at the time.

 “Umm… I want to turn in a heat partners form,” you said, drawing her attention away from her phone.

 She looked up and smiled at you before taking the form and glancing it over.

 “Is that your alpha?” she asked.

 “Yes?” you said hesitantly. You weren’t really sure if Yoongi was your alpha or not, but on paper he was for the time being. The building manager just chuckled.

 “This is only for one time correct?” she asked.

 “For now,” Yoongi answered from behind you.

 “All right, I just want to make the two of you aware that we’ll keep this form on record for the next three months. If you want we can give him extended access to the dorms if you choose to after your heat this month. That decision is completely up to the two of you though. Min Yoongi, your ID card should be updated over night with the new security information.”

 “All right thank you,” he said.

 “Thank you,” you added.

 The two of you left the office and you realized that this is where the two of you might part. Until you got an idea.

 “I know you’ve seen the dorm before, but do you maybe want to go over some stuff before you leave.”

 Yoongi gave you a small smile and nodded his head before following you up to your dorm.

 When the two of you got there Jimin was lounging on the sofa, watching something on his laptop. He glanced up and saw the two of you together before grinning.

 “Well what do we have here?” Jimin teased.

 “Some embarrassing excuse for a college student watching… is that Korea’s Next Top Model?” Yoongi asked.

 “The fact that you recognize it says something about you too hyung.”

 “I’m just going to show Yoongi some of the stuff I have prepared for my heat. Don’t mind us.”

 “Oh I don’t.”

 You rolled your eyes and led Yoongi to your room. You were thankful that you had been trying to keep it clean because you knew he would inevitably see it at some point.

 “Okay, so I know we did the whole… to do list thing.”

 Yoongi let out a bark of laughter at that. He couldn’t help, but smile at the embarrassed yet confused look on your face.

 “I’m sorry, but calling it a ‘to do list’ was an unexpected pun coming from you.”

 “Well sorry…”

 You seemed to be pouting in a way that Yoongi found endearing. You weren’t trying to be cute, but you just ended up being that way.

 “I’m sorry please continue.”

 “Okay, well before I was so rudely interrupted.” You gave him a look and Yoongi fought back a grin at how you seemed to be seriously reprimanding him. “I bought a few things for my last heat that I found helpful. I have a fridge that I’ll have stocked at the time with some food and cookies.”

 “Cookies?”

 “I was craving them my last two heats for some reason, so I bake them and put them in the fridge to eat. It will also have drinking water. Last time it was to abrupt, so I didn’t get a chance to use them, but I bought a small water basin and some wash cloths in case I get sweaty. I also have extra sheets blankets and bed linings at the bottom of my closet.”

 “(y/n),” Yoongi said, stopping you from your rant. You turned to find him suddenly closer than you remembered him being. “I know you’re nervous. Honestly, I am a bit too. I don’t want you to be worried. I’m going to take care of you through this heat. I’m going to make sure you have everything you need and that you’re as comfortable as possible, okay?”

 “Okay…” you mumbled.

 Yoongi moved slightly closer, bringing his hands to naturally rub soothing circles into your shoulders.

 “I mean it. I don’t make commitments I don’t intend on keeping.”

 You were a commitment? He was committing to you. For some reason the thought had your stomach in somewhat pleasurable knots at his words.

 “I believe you,” you said, this time more firmly.

 “Can I kiss you right now?” he asked. You blinked in confusion shocked upon his request. You hadn’t seen it coming. “Sorry I just…”

 “No it’s okay. I mean yes, yes you can kiss me. You just sort of caught me by surpri—”

 Yoongi cut of your awkward rambling with a gentle kiss that he pressed to your lips. You had just barely closed your eyes to savor it before he was pulling away.

 “I have to get to work, but I’ll message you soon. Don’t hesitate to message me if you need anything.”

 “I won’t.”

 You should have walked Yoongi out as he said goodbye, but you had become rooted to the spot in awkward giddiness. Your stomach was flipping with warm excitement. You just barely caught Jimin yelling out at Yoongi.

 “Hyung, I know exactly what you did in there!”

 “Shut up.”

 OO00OO

 You had baked cookies yesterday and were getting ready to go to one of your classes when it happened. The clenching of your gut followed by a burning sensation engulfing your whole body. Your heat had come only about twelve hours before it was due to show up.

 You messaged Yoongi right away before crawling into your bed. You had to do something, you had to make it more comfortable for the two of you. You began to adjust the comforters and searched for more pillows to make sure the two of you could get lost in the cushiness of the bed. It wasn’t the largest bed and you somehow felt stressed at the thought of it not being big enough.

 You didn’t stress very long though. You found yourself getting wet with slick and overcome with heat. You could hardly wait for Yoongi to get here. You wanted him here so badly. You knew he could help, knew he would help.

 You tried your best, you really did, but you couldn’t take it anymore. The clenching in your core was too much to ignore. You peeled of your pants and underwear, making sure to toss them off the bed. You had just begun to massage your clit when you were hit with smell of fresh pine. With a whine you looked at your doorway to see Yoongi entering your room.

 Yoongi was dressed in tight jeans and a leather jackets. He was wearing a beanie probably to try and make his messy dark hair seem neater. You let out whine that had him instantly coming to your side.

 “It’s okay, I’m right here,” he said. “Do you still want me here?”

 “Yes,” you said. You tried to keep your voice from sounding as desperate as you felt. You couldn’t tell if you were successful.

 “Okay I need you to watch me for a bit. Look at me, okay?” You nodded your head at him. “Use your words.”

 “Okay,” you said.

 You kept your eyes on him as he revealed himself to you. First, he took off his beanie, revealing that you had been right. His hair was an utter mess. Then he removed his jacket, dropping it to the floor before lifting his t-shirt over his head. It revealed his milky torso, but you barely had anytime to dwell on it because he went straight to removing his jeans wasting no time in pulling them off equally milky legs. You thought he would stop there, but he kept going. He took off his plaid boxers to reveal his already half hard cock.

 You let out a desperate whine at the sight, suddenly remembering that you were very much in heat. You heard Yoongi mutter something in Korean before dropping to the ground and digging something out of the pocket of his leather jacket.

 “Can I come on the bed?” he asked.

 “Please do,” you said, with a huff of laughter.

 Yoongi climbed onto the bed, placing whatever was in his hands further up on the bed. He was being very formal. You heard him inhale thought he might have growled just a little bit.

 “Can you sit up? I’m going to help you out of the rest of your clothes.”

 You gave him a small yes and sat up and let him help you out of your sweater and bra. He gently helped you lay back on the bed and you realized your body was going crazy. His scent was amplified to your senses and all you wanted to do was surround yourself with it.

 “Are your sure this is what you want?”

 “Yes,” you found yourself snapping impatiently. He just gave a deep chuckle at that.

 “Okay. If you want to stop at any point in time just tell me and I will. Don’t feel like we have to keep doing something because it seems like I’m enjoying it. You need to let me know is something hurts or makes you uncomfortable, all right?”

 “All right. I mean this in the nicest way, but can you hurry up.”

 This time Yoongi let out and actual laugh his lips upturning into a brief gummy smile before leaning down to capture your lips. This kiss, much like the first one you shared, was feather light and sweet. However, the second you began to kiss him back it changed. It became much more heated. He bit your lower lip and you gasped as his tongue took the opportunity to invade your mouth in the most delightful way. He was very much in control of the kiss, but somehow it wasn’t rough. You found yourself succumbing to the way it felt, arms moving to tug his body closer to you.

 Yoongi growled and broke away to place soft kisses on your cheek trailing them to underneath your jaw and sucking lightly at the skin.

 “Can I scent mark you?”

 “Please do,” you replied.

 The moment you felt Yoongi rub his scent gland against yours an overwhelming sense of calm washed over you. The scent of pine seemed to comfort you as much as the scent of peppermint was making him feel refreshed.

 Yoongi was trying so hard not to rush. He didn’t want to rush your first time for you even if it was your heat. You were making it so hard for him when all he wanted to do was completely wreck you. The need to claim had never been his strongest alpha instinct, but suddenly it felt like it was the only one he could remember.

 “Yoongi…”

 Your voice stirred him from his thoughts and he looked down at you to see you rubbing your thighs together. Your dilated eyes connected with his and he smelt a fresh wave of peppermint go through the room. You were probably more than ready for him, but he wanted to take it slow.

 He went back to work trailing kisses over your scent gland, but not marking you. That would come later. The kisses moved to your chest and when one of his hands came to cup a breast you rewarded him with a breathy sigh. He caught your eyes as he moved his mouth over to suck your nipple into his mouth and you let out the sweetest moan for him. He moved to the other and was given the same reward. He loved you like this.

 Yoongi moved to put kisses between your breasts before once again moving up to capture your lips in a sweet kiss. He then repositioned himself, finally parting your legs, so that he could move his body in between them. His hand teasingly trailed up your thigh feeling the wetness that had managed to seep out and you were absolutely soaking for him.

 “Tell me, what’s been down here baby?” he asked. His dark eyes searching yours for discomfort at his words. He saw confusion before he saw a spark of excitement run through them.

 “Just fingers,” you replied. Yoongi trailed his hand over to your core just teasingly coming into contact with it.

 “Who’s fingers baby?” Yoongi finally pressed his fingers to your clit, giving you some sort of relief.

 “Mine,” you answered. You let out a moan of protest when he stopped. He was giving you a stern look. “And Jimin’s…”

 Yoongi’s fingers pressed to your clit once again, but this time rubbing tiny circles that had you whimpering for more. The way his finger felt cold on your hot skin was so good. You didn’t want him to stop.

 “Do you want something better than Jimin’s fingers?”

 “Yes,” you replied. You let out a whine of protest when Yoongi removed his fingers from your clit. “What?”

 “I’m going to give you something better baby. I’m going to give you my tongue.”

 You felt your cheeks flush at the bold statement, but Yoongi didn’t give you much time to be embarrassed before pressing a soft kiss to your clit. He started slow and the sensation felt odd. It was weird when he licked a stripe up your slit before flicking at your clit with his tongue. You weren’t really sure what to think, but before you knew it the sensations were overwhelming.

 He pulled your clit into his mouth, flicking at it quickly with his tongue making your body jolt in surprise at the sensation. The tightness in your core quickly building as he passionately devoured your core. Your hands gripped onto the blankets surrounding you as your hips involuntarily bucked up at a particularly strong suck.

 “You can grab onto me.”

 No sooner than when he said the words you found your hands raking through his dark locks, not sure whether to push him away from the overwhelming sensation or to pull him closer.

 You were completely blindsided by your sudden orgasm. You let out a loud moan as you came, hands tugging on Yoongi’s hair as he continued to lap up the new slick dripping out of your core.

 You felt the heat still thrumming through your body as Yoongi sat up. You watched as he wiped the excess slick from his chin biting back a groan as he looked you over. He leaned down to place a gentle kiss on your neck.

 You wanted him so badly. Your core was greedily clenching around air as the aftershocks of your orgasm left you. You wanted nothing more than to get Yoongi inside, wanting to feel the way he’d fill you up. The way he’d drill into you and make you cum.

 “That was so good baby.” He brushed a hand comfortingly through your hair before placing more kisses by your jaw.

 “Yoongi… Inside,” you whined. “Please I can’t take it.”

 “Baby…” he said, moving back so he could look at you. “I’m not going to rush. We’re going to go nice and slow. I’m going to open you up really good okay?”

 “Yoongi please!”

 He shushed you. Yoongi trailed a hand back to your core and slowly inserted a finger into you. It went in no problem. It didn’t surprise him with how wet you were. He wanted to make sure though that you came enough to get out of this wave of your heat though. He added another finger beginning to stretch you open, even with your heat you were tight.

 “How’s that feel?”

 “Good. It feels good…”

 Yoongi groaned at you. You were an absolute vision right now. You took his finger so well and your eyes looked at him just pleading for him to make you cum. He didn’t want to disappoint you either.

 “Can you cum on my fingers and I’ll give you my cock? Can you do that for me baby girl? Does it sound good?”

 “I can do it,” you replied.

 Yoongi felt you clench and unclench around him trying to get more stimulation. With a chuckle he added a third finger before beginning to move them in and out of you. When you gave a particularly loud moan he began to target that spot over and over again. Until you shut your eyes and threw back your head, letting out a whine. He felt the way your body tried to suck his fingers in as it released fresh slick.

 “That’s my good girl.” Yoongi felt your body shiver at that. He would keep that in mind for later. “You ready for me baby?”

 You nodded your head at him. Desperate eyes pleading with him and he frowned.

 “I need your words baby. I need to hear you want me.”

 “I want you Yoongi, alpha please.”

 That word sparked something primal in him that he had been trying to hold back. His hands moved to grab a condom on the bed ripping it open and quickly rolling it onto his painfully pulsing cock.

 He kissed you again. It was much rougher and more urgent than before and you instantly responded, hands coming up to tangle in his hair as you opened your mouth for him. He groaned in satisfaction before he lined himself up with your core.

 “Are you ready?”

 “Yes.”

 Yoongi firmly buried himself in you, making sure to not go to fast. He let out a groan in surprise as he noticed you with your head thrown back eyes closed and blissfully moaning out. Your core trying to suck him in.

 “Did you just cum baby?”

 Yoongi watched as a flush covered your cheeks in embarrassment, giving him your answer. The shy girl he was used to seeing reappearing beneath him and further igniting his want.

 “I couldn’t help it…” He moved to give you a soft kiss.

 “It’s okay cum as many times as you want.”

 You nodded your head at him and prepared yourself for him to start moving. Yoongi started gently at first. He just grinded the two of your bodies together, getting you used to him being inside you. However, you let out a pleased moan when he finally pulled back before thrusting in. Yoongi set a steady pace. His hands pressing themselves on either side of your head caging you in and surrounding you with his warmth and scent. It felt good.

 “More…”

 “More what, baby?”

 You opened your eyes to see a teasing look on his face as he watched you.

 “I don’t know just whatever you’re doing.”

 He hummed before his hips snapped with more force than before into you, causing you to let out a whine of approval as he continued his new pace. Each thrust seeming to make that knot in your stomach tighter and tighter. You knew you were going to cum again. You tried to tell him, but found that this time your Korean failed you. Your words coming out in a jumbled mess that seemed to please him. Your head tipped back as you went over the edge, bearing your neck to him.

 “Can I still mark you?”

 “Yes.”

 You brought your hands up to guide Yoongi to your neck as began to suck at the gland on your neck sending a new wave of pleasure through your body as he left the mark on your skin. You could feel the knot in your stomach winding tighter again quickly as he kept thrusting into you.

 “Alpha, I’m going to… <em>again!</em>”

 “It’s okay omega.” The name sent a tremor through your body and you felt yourself building up too quickly again. “I’m going to cum too. Do you still want my knot?”

 “I want my alpha’s knot!”

 Yoongi’s hips suddenly picked up speed to slam into you with force you hadn’t known he had and you felt yourself building up again. You were just on the edge of your release when you felt the sensation of Yoongi growing in you. You didn’t dwell on it as you felt yourself cum once again, your core trying to suck Yoongi in.

 You fought to keep your eyes open as you felt Yoongi’s pace turn into grinding as his knot grew too large to pull out of you. He buried his face into your neck as he let out a loud groan as he came his body covering yours protectively as he shook from his orgasm.

 The two of you held onto each other as your bodies began to calm. The heat no longer incessantly eating away at your body as the wave died down. The only sound in the room was the two of you panting.

 “Do you want to mark me?” Yoongi asked.

 He pulled his face away just enough to look into your eyes, hand coming naturally to stroke at your cheek. You were surprised. Most alphas didn’t like to be marked by their partners, it showed some sort of submission. The thought of marking up his milky skin was very tempting though.

 “Can I?”

 “Of course you can (y/n),” he responded.

 Yoongi bared the right side of his neck to you and you carefully moved to it. You placed kisses along it until you came to his scent gland where you sucked delicately at the soft skin, making Yoongi produce a sound that sounded almost like a purr of satisfaction. You pulled away to see him smiling softly at you.

 “You look tired,” he stated. “You should get some rest before your next wave.”

 He carefully pulled you up, trying to make sure that his knot didn’t make it too uncomfortable for you to move. He positioned the two of you in a more comfortable position to lay down in.

 “But your knot?” you asked. “Are you comfortable?”

 “I’m fine, it will go down in about ten or fifteen minutes. You need to get some rest before then okay.”

 “Okay.”

 Yoongi placed a gentle kiss on your lips as he pulled you closer to him. In no time you were able to fall asleep to the relaxing scent of pine surrounding you. Yoongi found himself drifting off shortly after as he listened to the rhythmic beat of your heart.

Scent Marking, Marking, Mating/Bonding

 Scent marking is done by rubbing the gland in your neck against another person’s. The gland is located on the right side of the neck, where the neck meets the shoulder. Scent marking happens in a few different situations. The most common is that when children are still young their parents will scent mark the child to keep them calm and remind them that they aren’t alone. The other most common is between individuals who have a close relationship, normally romantic or as heat partners. Some friends may do it to help their friends during times of distress, but it’s pretty uncommon and usually only done between omegas.

 Marking is done by leaving a physical mark without breaking skin, so basically a hickey or love bite on the scent gland. This is done solely by individuals who are linked either romantically or are heat partners. Marking partners during heat is preferred because normally after being marked for a month or two their heat cycles or rut cycles will sync, making it easier for the individuals involved. Marks can be any color really. They just look like a discoloration on the skin, some are purple, pink, or even white if the person has dark enough skin.

 Mating and bonding are essentially the same thing. Mating just refers to the traditional couples one would normally see and bonding refers more to anybody who has chosen to become tied together. You’ll notice that Jimin tends to use mate as most South Koreans would because it’s more of a traditional country as opposed to the reader who uses bonded who is originally from the United States. A mating or bonding mark is created by biting the scent gland and breaking skin. This mark remains on the skin unless someone chooses to get it surgically removed. It also tends to combine the scents of the two people who have mated.

It was the Tuesday after Jin’s party and you were absolutely dreading your music composition class. How could you possibly look Yoongi in the eyes? You had really let yourself go… all over his thigh.

You shook your head, but didn’t really have time to dwell on it. You took a deep breath and walked into the classroom. You let out the breath you were holding in when Yoongi wasn’t there.

 “(y/n)!”

 You turned confused at hearing your name. You didn’t know anyone in this class.

 You saw a very cheery looking Kim Taehyung waving at you from what was normally one row in front of where you sat. He was sporting a boxy smile and messy bed head. You walked over to him.

 “Hello Taehyung…ssi,” you said. He laughed at that.

 “I am the same age as you and Jimin so drop the formalities,” he said, waving it off. “Come on sit by me. Normally no one does.”

 You moved to sit next to him. It’s not like it could be any worse than sitting next to the two girls you were sitting with before.

 “I didn’t know you were in this class,” you said. “I thought Jimin said you were a theater major?”

 “Oh I am, but on the off chance that I ever want to write a musical or something this class would be pretty helpful.”

 You hummed in agreement. You were about to respond, when your words died in your mouth when Min Yoongi walked into the room. He was looking as handsome as ever with his messy black hair and oversized sweatshirt and ripped jeans. You cleared your throat uncomfortably adverting your eyes and began to take out your stuff.

 You couldn’t bring yourself to make eye contact with Min Yoongi the entire class. You felt so awkward. To make matters worse is that Taehyung didn’t notice it at all. The guy was totally in his own world. You didn’t even think he was listening to the lecture.

 When the class was over you both gathered your things to leave. You thought it would be as simple as that, but Taehyung had other plans.

 “Yoongi hyung!” Taehyung greeted, walking toward Yoongi. His hand found its way around your wrist and he lightly tugged you after him.

 The two of you ended up in front of Yoongi as he stood relaxed at the front of the room.

 “Taehyung, (y/n),” He said nodding his head in greeting.

 You nodded your head back before suddenly finding the wall behind him appealing. You felt like your face was heating up as his gazed lingered on you, but you couldn’t bring yourself to look at his eyes, knowing your mind would flash back to the way his skin felt against yours.

 “I need help with my homework,” Taehyung said.

 “We live together,” Yoongi said. You could hear the scoff in his voice at Taehyung’s words.

 “But, so does (y/n),” Taehyung cut in. You turned to him eyes wide and that’s when you noticed the mischievous glint in his eyes. You turned back to see a skeptical looking Yoongi.

 “Taehyung, you need to stop dragging people into your ridiculous plans. Her expression is telling me she had no idea that you were going to ask for that.”

 “Heh, figured it was worth a shot.” Taehyung shrugged his shoulders.

 “That being said, if you ever need help you can just message me,” Yoongi said, looking at you.

 “I don’t have a way to do that,” you replied.

 “Can I see your phone for a second?” Yoongi asked.

 With little hesitation, you handed it to him. He opened it and he raised an eyebrow as he glanced at the screen.

 “No lock?”

 “I’ve got nothing incriminating on my phone, so I don’t see a reason to have one.”

 “If you’re going to continue your friendship with Taehyung I would recommend it.”

 “Hey!” Taehyung protested, but Yoongi cut him off.

 “All of my contact information should be entered. Never hesitate to call if you need anything.”

 For the first time in a while you met his eyes and saw how serious he was. Min Yoongi would definitely keep his word and come if you called him.

 “I will if I need anything.”

 Yoongi offered you a small smile.

 “Well, I have to get going so I’m not late to work, but I trust that the next time I see the two of you, your homework will be done.”

 “Yes sir!” Taehyung said with a laugh.

 Yoongi left and you and Taehyung left after him.

 “You know I get it now,” Taehyung said.

 “Get what?” you asked.

 “The reason that you and Yoongi hyung are Jimin’s new OTP,” he answered like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “Well see you soon!”

 Before you could say anything, Taehyung left you behind. You let out a sigh. You definitely weren’t prepared for the shit storm that is Kim Taehyung.

 OO00OO

  “Hyung, I need a favor.”

 Yoongi glanced at Jimin who was on the couch across from him in his dorm. He had claimed that he was waiting for Taehyung to arrive, so that the two of them could go out to eat. Jimin had come into his dorm about thirty minutes ago and Yoongi wasn’t oblivious to the looks the other was giving him. Truth be told the following weeks after the party Yoongi had felt a little awkward around Jimin. How does one tell Jimin that they have the hots for his new best friend and roommate?

 “What is it?”

 “I need one of your leather jacket and… maybe a pair of your boxers.”

 Yoongi scoffed.

 “Why? Your heat was last week. Besides normally you borrow Jungkook’s stuff.” Yoongi caught the twinkle in Jimin’s eyes and knew that he was in trouble.

 “Oh, it’s not for me.” The smirk on Jimin’s face was enough to make Yoongi weary. “I’ve got a friend who wants to use it.”

 “That’s not sketchy at all. Why exactly would I do that?”

 “Maybe because if you did then you might get to be their next heat partner.”

 “I don’t know them, so I’m not interested.”

 “Oh trust me you would be interested if you knew who they were.”

 “I don’t suppose you’re just going to tell me who it is?”

 “I promised them I would keep their identity a secret.”

 Of course, Jimin did. Three of Yoongi’s friends happened to know way more people than they should, Jimin was one of those people. Although Jimin was undoubtedly somewhat shy at first, it didn’t take long for other people to warm up to him. So, he had a lot of friends around campus. He was also an orientation leader last year and interacted with a lot of people during that time. It would be hard to try and figure out who this friend was.

 “Come on hyung trust me!”

 “The last time I trusted you with something like this I never got my jacket back.”

 “Not true! (y/n) gave you your jacket back.”

 “This and that are two different things. That was an emergency and she wouldn’t let go.”

 “Don’t lie you liked it! You were all brimming with alpha pride about helping her the next day.”

 “Jimin, you’re being ridiculous.”

 It was at that moment that Yoongi’s other roommate, Hoseok walked in carrying a duffle bag with his dance stuff. Yoongi let out a sigh of relief and Hoseok just looked at them both confused.

 “What’s got the two of you so heated?” Hoseok asked. He walked over to his room and chucked the bag into it without a second thought. He walked over to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water and came back.

 “Yoongi won’t let my friend borrow his leather jacket for their heat!”

 Yoongi scowled at Jimin. It was like the other was tattling on him to get him in trouble.

 “I value my leather jackets and don’t lend them to anyone.”

 “Yeah, but you wear them all the time so your scent is really strong on them. That’s why I want to use it.”

 “Jimin, hyung really likes those jackets…” Hoseok defended.

 “My friend is going to suffer without them!”

 “Then they can ask someone else,” Yoongi protested.

 “That’s just it. They don’t want someone else’s stuff they want your stuff.”

 “Can I propose a solution?” Hoseok asked. The two of them turned to him. “Hyung why don’t you just wear a sweatshirt all the time in the dorm to make your scent really strong on it and then Jimin can give it to your friend. That way you can keep your precious leather jacket and Jimin’s friend is still helped.”

 “I’d be willing to do that,” Jimin said. He was grinning at Yoongi knowing that he had just won the battel.

 “Fine.” Yoongi rolled his eyes. “If I don’t get my sweatshirt back I’ll never trust you again.”

 “Deal! Now about that underwear…”

 Why did Yoongi ever think being friends with Park Jimin was a good idea?

 OO00OO

 “<em>So why are we buying all these baking supplies</em>?” Mark asked.

 He grabbed the flour you needed from the top of the shelf and placed it in the cart.

 “<em>For some reason the last time I had my heat I was craving these Christmas cookies my mom used to make</em>,” you responded.

 “<em> Ah… that explains what all this is</em>,” Mark said, glancing at the cart.

 There were two different sheets as well as a new mattress cover that protects the mattress from liquid. You weren’t going to let your second heat take you buy surprise this time. You were going to be fully prepared this time.

 “<em>My heat is in a few days</em>.”

 “<em>Oh I’m well aware of it. I can smell it on you</em>.”

 “<em>That’s weird and a bit creepy</em>.”

 “<em>I can’t help it. It’s an alpha thing. I also have a better sense of smell than most, so it’s just something that’s obvious to me</em>.”

 “<em>Don’t worry I know. I guess I’m still getting used to the fact that people can scent me better now that I presented. It was weird when Jimin just looked at me this morning and said ominously that I needed to start preparing for my heat</em>.”

 “<em>Did you… umm… did you decide to uhh…</em>”

 You wanted to laugh at how hilariously awkward Mark was. Compared to Jackson who was normally loud and blunt, Mark was pretty mild and tactful with his words. You had maybe only seen him mad once, even then saying mad was a stretch. He was actually more annoyed than anything. He did sometimes find it hard to ask personal questions and it came more so from him not wanting to be intrusive than out of embarrassment. He always tried to respect others. He said it was something that his father instilled in him from a young age and he would never be able to unlearn it. However, sometimes you wished he would ask a bit more of you or tell you more personal things about himself. He just wasn’t the type of guy to share all his secrets though.

 “<em>No I decided that I wanted to try and handle my heat on my own. It’s only a quarter heat, so it should be pretty mild</em>.”

 “<em>I guess there’s no not awkward way to ask this, but do you need something with my scent on it</em>?” Mark asked. He scratched the back of his neck. “<em>An alpha scent is supposed to help a lot. After your friend yelled at me I sort of did some reading up on omegas because he was right. Jackson and I never really knew too much about omegas. Just the stuff that’s in sex ed class. We both have only dated betas. All the things I read said that an alpha scent really helps, especially if the omega feels comfortable with the scent. I figured we’re good friends, so it might help</em>?”

 Mark kept babbling on about the things he had learned and really it was endearing. Mark had always been the silent caring type that sort of tried to do nice things for people behind their backs. The question was, would you need something with Mark’s scent? Jimin had promised you he would get something for you with Yoongi scent discreetly, but he hadn’t said anything about it for a few days now. You didn’t know if that meant he couldn’t get something or not.

 “<em>I’ll get back to you about that</em>,” you replied.

 “(y/n)?” a voice asked.

 There with a shopping cart in front of you was none other than Yoongi. He was dressed casually in ripped jeans and a hooded sweatshirt. Standing next to him was a mildly confused looking beta that you had never met before.

 “Yoongi…sunbae,” you greeted hesitantly.

 Yoongi wasn’t really paying attention to that though. There had been a secret part of him hoping that the person who wanted his scent was you. However, he doubted it was considering the tall and handsome alpha standing right next to you. The alpha himself seemed like a slightly awkward person, but you were perfectly at ease being next to him. Normally, any omega who smelled like they were so close to heat would be careful of who to keep around them. The way the other alpha was staring him down as if he was sizing him up was also an indication that said alpha must be close to you.

 “Hi, I’m Hoseok,” the beta said, catching everyone’s attention. “I am one of Yoongi’s roommates.”

 “Nice to meet you,” you replied. “I’m (y/n), Jimin’s new roommate. This is my friend Mark.”

 “Ah you’re the one Taehyung keeps saying is trying to steal Jimin away from him.”

 “Oh I didn’t have to steal him away, he came to me on his own,” you joked. “Well, I’ll leave the two of you to shop. Have a nice day.”

 You and Mark walked away. Yoongi was thankful you were out of ear shot when Hoseok spoke again.

 “You know you like her right? You were totally sizing up the other alpha.”

 “Shut up.”

 OO00OO

 You glanced around the room to make sure that you had thoroughly prepared everything. You had asked all your roommates for advice and they had been more than happy to give you some.

 Mina had said that it was always smart to keep a tub of clean water and some soap in the room. If you ever wanted to shower, but weren’t sure you could make it to the bathroom to shower, it would come in handy.

 Dahyun had suggested that you buy a small minifridge. It put quite a dent in your wallet, but the idea of being able to have some fresh food and cold drinking water in your room was to enticing to refuse.

 Jimin had been the one to suggest making sure there were plenty of blankets in case you felt the need to nest. He said that he normally can’t settle down without the comfort of the soft fabric on his skin, making him feel secure and protected.

 You had taken all their advice and invested in them.

 “(y/n)!” Jimin called, from the doorway of your room.

 When you turned to face him, he was wearing his mischievous grin on his face. In his hand was a plastic bag with the same sweatshirt that Yoongi had been wearing when you ran into him and Hoseok at the store yesterday.

 “Do you love me of do you love me?” he asked.

 “I greatly appreciate you Mighty Park Jimin,” you said.

 Jimin walked over to you and glanced around the room. He nodded his head approvingly at how you had prepared your room for your heat.

 “Make sure that you keep it in the bag until you hit your heat,” he told you. “Also, as tempting as it is to try and rub your scent gland against the sweatshirt don’t do it. It will just make Yoongi’s scent on it disappear. Also, Mark texted me and asked if you still needed something with his scent on it.”

 “When did the two of you become such good friends?” you asked.

 “We’re not really. We both just seem to have relatively good motherly instincts.”

 “Ha… I’d love to see Mark’s reaction to your words. Well, I’m going to turn in for the night.”

 “Goodnight! Sleep well!” Jimin set the bag down on your desk before leaving the room.

 You stared at it before getting ready for bed. You figured it was best to try and get all the sleep you could before your heat hit.

 It felt like just an hour after you fell asleep when you woke up with a squeezing heat in the pit of your stomach. You felt more than heard yourself whine at the discomfort. Your night shirt now sticking uncomfortably to your skin and your hair starting to dampen with sweat.

 You found yourself peeling off your clothes, determined to get over this wave of your heat. It was only a quarter heat, so if you tried you could probably be done with it by late afternoon.

 Despite the blossoming discomfort in your core you forced yourself from your bed to get the bag on your desk. When you got there opened the bag the comforting scent of pine trees filled your senses.

 You found yourself sinking to the ground despite the fact that your bed was only a meter away. At least this time you knew what you were doing.

 You brought the sweatshirt up to your face while your other hand slid down your body. You felt your whole body react to the feather light touch of your finger across your clit.

 You tried to ease your way into it slowly pressing two fingers to your clit and drawing circles on it. However, with the next inhale of Yoongi’s scent you found yourself rubbing circles harder and faster. Soon you weren’t even thinking about your hands. You were thinking of the way his hands had firmly guided you to grind against. The way his deep voice had felt as he instructed you patiently. You were surprised at how much you wanted him to be the one touching you instead of yourself.

 You knew that when you came to the memory of his breath ghosting against your neck you were seriously in trouble. Especially because the thing you longed for the most was how gently he had held you at the party.

 OO00OO

 “There she is!” Jimin greeted.

 He was currently in the kitchen cooking what smelled like ramen. Which wasn’t surprising considering Jimin almost never cooks real food.

 “Here I am,” you said, with a smile. “Where’s Mina and Dahyun?”

 “Mina’s rehearsing in the practice rooms and Dahyun went out to dinner with friends. So… you’re stuck with me. So I want to know, how was the heat?”

 “It was about what I expected…”

 “Did you use the vibrator?”

 “No, I didn’t have to,” you replied. You felt your face heat up. “Yoongi’s scent was enough to get me through it.”

 Jimin’s eyes widened before he smiled at you.

 “So are you going to admit you like him now?”

 “No, but I’ll admit I’m attracted to him.”

 “Tell you what, I’ll get you a meeting with him. See if I can get him to be your heat partner.”

 “Jimin, you don’t have to—”

 “Call it an odd instinct, but I want to. It’s not really… common for Yoongi to go out of his way for total strangers. Yoongi would have saved anyone in the same situation as you, but he definitely wouldn’t always show the same amount of interest that he has been. Personally, I think he spends too much time by himself, so the fact that he seems so comfortable wants to make me at least try. Let me try?”

 You studied Jimin for a moment, seeing how serious he was. Although you had only known Jimin for a short amount of time you felt like you could trust him. He had gone out of his way multiple times to help you. He had made sure that you felt prepared for your heat and had even gotten Yoongi agree to giving you a sweatshirt with his scent on it.

 “I guess if you want to you can…”

 OO00OO

 Yoongi was annoyed to say the least. Jimin had been constantly asking him to meet with the person he had given the sweatshirt to for about two weeks. It had finally taken the threat of not giving him the sweatshirt back to motivate him to sit down for coffee with the person.

 He had arrived early and chosen a spot to sit down and scope out the coffee shop. Yoongi wasn’t a big fan of cafes because he wasn’t one for fancy coffee. He needed his coffee strong and black in order to function. His bad mood certainly wasn’t helped by the fact that he had only slept about two hours because he had been working on producing a new song for the company that he was working at.

 The last thing Yoongi wanted to do was to meet with some whinny person that probably wasn’t that interested in him. It was probably just the fact that he was an available alpha. Yoongi was also aware that because he didn’t radiate alpha other subgenders thought he was pretty easy to get with. Which wasn’t true at all, considering he wasn’t much of a people person to deal with.

 “Umm… Sunbae…”

 Yoongi had to stop himself from looking utterly shocked as the scent of peppermint flooded his senses. He wasn’t expecting this. He wasn’t expecting you. Some part of him had hoped that Jimin’s mysterious friend was you, but he hadn’t wanted to get his hopes up. However, here you were standing awkwardly in front of him with a bag that had his sweatshirt in it.

 “(Y/n)…”

 “Can I sit down?” you asked.

 Yoongi nodded his head not really sure what to say.

 “So you were the friend Jimin was talking about?”

 “Yeah… sorry for keeping it a secret. It was just kind of embarrassing to ask you directly.”

 “It’s truly nothing to be embarrassed about,” Yoongi stated.

 “Here’s your sweatshirt back. I’m sorry for keeping it for so long. Jimin thought it would be good leverage to get you to meet with me. I removed the scent and everything.”

 Yoongi felt slightly disappointed about that.

 “I figured that would be Jimin’s idea.” Yoongi paused for a moment. “Jimin said you were looking for a heat partner.”

 “I am… and I thought maybe you would be willing to be my heat partner?”

 Your words were unsteady and nervous, like you were expecting to be rejected. How could he reject you though?

 “I want to be your heat partner.” Yoongi watched as you were shocked by his words. Your eyes were comically wide and your mouth slightly open. He found it absolutely adorable. The fact that you expected him to say no was slightly concerning to him, but he would focus on that later. “When is your next heat?”

 “About two weeks…”

 “Mine is in about three weeks. What type of heat is it?”

 “A half one.”

 “Okay, my next one is a quarter. We need to go over some things. If you want the dorms will give me temporary access to your building, but it’s going to require some paperwork on your end. It would just allow me to come in if it happened in the middle of the night.”

 “Yeah we can do that.”

 “Also, I want to set up some boundaries with you. People tend to consent to things they normally wouldn’t during their heats and end up regretting it. I don’t want put you through that. So if you could tell me what you like that would be helpful.”

 Yoongi watched as you looked down at the table before you took a deep breath.

 “I don’t know. I’ve never had sex.”

 Yoongi was stunned to say the least. You were so attractive. Your personality was warm and you had the ability to be so playful. To him you were physically beautiful. The sparkle that appeared in your eyes when something made you happy. He had no idea how you were single and now he had no idea how someone hadn’t tried to get you in their bed all of these years.

 “Okay. Well let’s start off simple. What do you want to be called and what do you want me to call you?”

 “Umm… it would be easier to call you by your name if you don’t mind without the titles… I know it’s a little weird because of Korean standards but…”

 “No, it’s fine. Are you okay with being called omega?”

 “I don’t really know? I think it’s fine as long as I can call you alpha. Since its going to be my first time I want to experience everything I can. If you don’t mind I would like to try marking too…”

 Oh, he had no problem with that. In fact, Yoongi’s blood was stirring in excitement at the image his mind created of you lying naked beneath him with your neck bared to him.

 “Of course we can try it. If you want I can send you a list of things and maybe you can go through it and check off things you would like to try. It might make it easier. You also look like you’re about to die from embarrassment.”

 “Is it that obvious?” you asked. You finally offered him a smile and he returned it with a small one of his own. “If you don’t mind, I would also know what you like as well.”

 “That’s very thoughtful of you, but considering that this is your first time, I don’t want you to worry about it. If you want to help me with my next rut then we’ll worry about it. With the short amount of time you’ve been on your suppressants we should still use condoms. After your first heat we can talk about if you want to change that.”

 Yoongi had to keep the smile off his face as he realized you were definitely picturing what sex would be like without condoms. He felt a bit of pride at how attractive he was to you.

 “Yeah I would like that. I’ll get the paperwork to you soon okay?”

 “Okay. I have to get going to work. I’ll talk to you soon?”

 “Definitely.”

 Yoongi couldn’t stop the smile on his face or the new inspiration thrumming through him as he walked out of the coffee shop.

Heats and Ruts

 Heats happen monthly for omegas and betas. There are quarter heats, half heats, and full heats. Quarter heats happen every other month and are generally last for only 12-24 hours. Half heats happen four times a year and last for about 2-3 days. Full heats also happen four times a year and can last anywhere from 4-7days. The intensity of all heats varies from person to person. The general cycle of heats is full heat-quarter heat-half heat-quarter heat, then this cycle repeats. Most choose to spend these heats with a partner because having someone else there helps with the intensity.

 Ruts work the same way except alpha males (and some high dominance Beta males) experience knotting. I think everyone knows what that is a bulge forming toward the base of the penis that locks inside a female to ensure fertilization. Alpha females experience clotting which is a burst of fertile liquid during this time and the only time that a female can get another female pregnant.

 If you have any questions please ask!

OO00OO 

You stared curiously at your first assignment for your music composition class. Honestly it had been about two weeks into the semester and you were seriously doubting your capability to comprehend the course. Music was hard enough to read, but the fact that you had been matching Korean characters to the music had made it even more difficult. However, to your surprise you had managed to receive full marks and a nice work message at the top of your assignment from your professor.

 The girl next to you who had sneered openly at you as she glanced at your higher grade. After sitting next to her and her friend for the past week you had discovered the girl was actually a music composition major. She didn’t seem to take to kindly to the outsiders present in the class. She especially seemed to hate you, but it was easy to ignore her if you tried.

 You gathered your stuff as you made your way out of the classroom. You were meeting Jimin for lunch. Normally, you ate lunch with Mark and Jackson, but Jimin had been bugging you to go get lunch with him. He had complained that his dance major friends were starting to believe he was making you up. That’s also why you had to meet him in the dance studio.

 Thankfully, because you had just gone to a music composition class you didn’t have to travel very far in order to meet him because all the fine arts buildings were in the same general area.

 It took you a few minutes to walk to the building and once you got there you were surprised at how large the building was. The music department was much smaller. You knew that the most popular fine arts major at your university was theater and the second was dance. You just thought that they weren’t really popular, but you guessed you had been wrong.

 The halls had a few students loitering around and the practice studios all seemed to have people in them. You checked your text from Jimin seeing that you needed to find studio 4B.

 “<em>Can I help you?</em>” The voice was slightly unsure, but the English was clear.

 You turned to see a tall and muscular alpha. He had dark chocolate hair and could have easily been mistaken for being older if the roundness of his big eyes didn’t give him a rather youthful appearance. You were relatively positive he was younger than you.

 “Hello, I’m looking for studio 4B. I came to get lunch with a friend,” you said.

 The boy’s face broke out into a satisfied smile at you speaking Korean.

 “Oh! I can help you find it,” he chirped. “I’m Jeon Jungkook by the way. Alpha…” He had hesitated to clarify his sub-gender and you weren’t going to question it. Honestly, you still weren’t too aware of Korean greeting customs. It seemed to change every time you met someone new.

 “(l/n) (y/n), Omega,” you said. “It’s nice to meet you Jungkook.”

 He beamed at your response.

 “Wait are you looking for Jimin?” he asked.

 “Yeah, I am,” you said.

 “Really? We all thought that he was making you up.” Jungkook let out a laugh before stopping and opening a door. “After you.”

 Music was playing and you watched as Jimin and his partner seemed to effortlessly glide across the floor. Jungkook quietly shut the door behind the two of you as you watched them dance until the end of the song.

 “I think that was good enough for now,” the other guy said to Jimin.

 “Yeah, I’ve got lunch plans,” Jimin said. “I’ll see you tomorrow, right?”

 “Yeah, sounds good.”

 “Jimin, (y/n) is here!” Jungkook called. Jimin turned and glared at Jungkook.

 “That’s Jimin-hyung and (y/n)-noona to you,” he grumbled. “Ignore this brat.”

 “It’s fine, he helped me find you. Do you need to shower and cool down before we go eat?” you asked.

 “Nah, I have a rehearsal later today again. I just need to make sure to drink water at lunch,” Jimin said. He pulled a sweatshirt on and grabbed his shoes before walking over to you.

 “You’re going out to eat? Can I come with you?” Jungkook asked.

 “No,” Jimin growled. He sat down and began to put on his shoes. “Why are you even here? You’re not even a dance major.”

 “I still have club activities that revolve around dance,” Jungkook said, rolling his eyes. “Why can’t I come?”

 “Because I said so,” Jimin said. “We’re having some omega talk time.”

 “The two of you live together can’t you do that later?” he asked.

 You watched as the two of them went back and forth like siblings until Jungkook just huffed at Jimin and agreed to let the two of you go.

 “You both seem close,” you said as the two of you began to walk to the cafeteria.

 “We grew up in the same area and he’s always been a brat,” Jimin grumbled.

 “He seems like a good kid though.” Jimin let out a huff of a laugh at that.

 “You know Jungkook was totally trying to get into your pants, right?” Jimin asked.

 “No, I didn’t realize,” you said. “He just seemed like he wanted to help me.”

 “He might have, but he also wanted to fuck you into the mattress. Don’t let the cute face fool you he is an absolute beast in bed. Don’t even get me started.”

 “Speaking from experience I take it?” You gave him a smile and Jimin rolled his eyes.

 “Before he knew he was hot shit I was his heat partner because he was too afraid to mess it up with anyone else. Kid is incredibly high on the dominance spectrum. The two of you might be a good match actually, seeing as you’re so low on it.”

 “Hey I don’t know for sure if I’m low on it or not,” you protested. Jimin shot you a look.

 “You know… Jin is hosting another party tomorrow,” Jimin said. He paused for a minute. “If you want to come I’m sure it’s ok. Last time you couldn’t go because you had plans with Mark and Jackson because Saturdays are your movie nights. Tomorrow is Friday, so you don’t have any obligations right.”

 “Yeah, no obligations but… Oh gosh how do I say this,” you trailed off. “You’re the first Korean guy I’ve ever actually been with in any sense.”

 “Wait haven’t you lived here for like two years?” Jimin asked surprised.

 “Yeah, but I’m sorry Koreans have a tendency to not take foreigners all that seriously and like I said before, I was never really looking.”

 “Ah the whole ride the foreign horse thing.” Jimin nodded his head at that. “I don’t think you have to worry about that with this group of people though if I’m being honest. Everyone is pretty chill and pretty open about relationships and what not. I mean they would have to be because the Jin and Namjoon searching for a third mate isn’t exactly normal by Korean standards. A couple people there have also dated foreigners seriously before. I’d beat them up if they played you.”

 “Thanks, Jimin,” you said. “Can you describe what I would have to do at this party?”

 “Well, the game varies from party to party.” Jimin paused for a moment. “We do all strip down to our underwear though, so you might want to wear something nice. You also have to be ok with being watched…”

 “Like how much are people watching?”

 “Well, nothing goes beyond the realms of foreplay,” Jimin said. “So, no oral or actual sex. However, people do sometimes get off on other actions. Sometimes people are fingered until they climax. Honestly, I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t masturbated while watching others. It kind of just goes where it goes. Sometimes people pair off for the night and other times they just go home. It just depends on the night.”

 You thought a bit about it.

 “Yoongi will be there.” Jimin smirked at you and you just scoff.

 “I was going to say yes before you said he was going to be there.”

 “Sure, you were cupcake. Sure, you were.”

 OO00OO

 “Namjoon, stop what you’re doing!”

 Jin burst into the room, causing Namjoon to fall off the stool he had been sitting on. Yoongi just let out a sigh. This had happened way more often than it should have.

 “I can’t,” Namjoon said, getting off the ground. “We need to finish this this assignment before the party tonight. You know when I signed up to be in grad school, I never imagined that the music program would have harsher deadlines than he Biology program.”

 “Jin I think you managed to bond with an idiot,” Yoongi said.

 “I think his issue is that he’s too smart actually,” Jin muttered. “Anyway, (y/n) is coming to the party. Jimin just texted me. You need to get ready to meet her!”

 “You realize the party is a good four hours away right?” Namjoon said. “I don’t think—”

 “I have to get cooking and you have to get ready!”

 Jin suddenly left the room, leaving Yoongi and Namjoon to stare at each other.

 “He’s pretty serious about this one,” Namjoon said.

 “I can tell,” Yoongi replied.

 “You like her, don’t you?” Namjoon said. Yoongi raised a brow at him. “You were able to identify her by a description and not a name, so I just kind of knew.”

 “I wouldn’t say I like her, but I’ll admit that I’m aware that she exists,” Yoongi responded. Namjoon hummed in response.

 “Knowing that she exists is kind of a big deal when it’s you. You’re a high dominance alpha who doesn’t take on heat partners. It means something when you are aware that someone exists.”

 “I guess so… Jin is so excited though that I would feel a little bad,” Yoongi said.

 “Jin and I will always have each other, so he would get over it. Trust me on this. We are looking, but if she’s not interested in us then we move on. Polyamory isn’t for everyone.”

 “I don’t think the girl is really very sure what she likes, so I wouldn’t count yourself out yet.”

 “So you wouldn’t feel angry if Jin and I approached her tonight?”

 Yoongi paused for a moment. He actually didn’t have an answer to that. He felt protective and somewhat possessive of you for almost no reason. Well, he did have a reason, but he wasn’t sure if it was good enough. He had seen you at one of your most vulnerable moments and you had trusted him to help you. He did so successfully and it was something he had been taking pride in.

 “You took a long time so you would at least be slightly annoyed,” Namjoon stated. He let out a sigh. “I think you should go for it hyung. She seems like a great girl.”

 “Jin would be so pissed at you right now,” Yoongi replied. “Maybe I will, if she’s interested. It’s been a while honestly.”

 “How long?”

 “Six months.”

“I swear I can barely go six hours.”

 “Not everyone is a perv like you and I really didn’t want to know that.”

 “I wasn’t like that before I met Jin though. When we met it was like we just clicked physically and mentally. When I see him I just can’t help, but want to wrap my arms around him and kiss him. Oh and scent and mark him. We were just meant for each other.”

 “You are disgustingly cheesy.”

 “NAMJOON! Get your ass ready!” Jin yelled from the other room.

 Namjoon let out a sigh and shot Yoongi an apologetic smile.

 It looked like Yoongi was going to be on his own for this project.

 OO00OO

 Jin and Namjoon’s apartment was really nice for being in the middle of Seoul. It wasn’t penthouse big, but it was definitely bigger than the normal apartments in Seoul. You guessed that it had something to do with the fact that Jin seemed to own a mildly successful restaurant and you thought Jimin had mentioned something about Namjoon living off research grants and commissioned songs.

 “You can just go ahead and make yourself at home for a bit (y/n),” Jin said. “We’re still waiting on a few people and there are some snacks in the living room.”

 Jimin motioned for you to follow him into the living room. In the living room were people just standing around in their underwear. You were slightly surprised. Jimin had warned you about it, but you didn’t think people would be almost naked right from the start.

 “Do you want to leave?” Jimin asked. “It’s okay if you want to.”

 “No, I just didn’t expect to have to take my clothes off so soon. I’m still up for it. Where should I do it?”

 “You can just peel them off right here.”

 As you took your clothes off it was hard for you not to compare yourself to the other females in the room. With such short notice and a small budget for the month, you didn’t really have the chance to go buy lingerie or anything. Most of the girls were wearing bold colors with lacy details. You had decided to wear a blain white bra and matching lace panties, but they were noticeably less extravagant. You almost wanted to slip your clothes back on to see if you could get away with it.

 “Noona! Jimin!” a voice called out. Approaching you with a bright smile on his face was Jungkook. A Jungkook that was dressed in black boxers. He was shirtless and for a kid the boy was well sculpted. It was also the first time you noticed the rich scent of chocolate that seemed radiate from him.

 “That’s hyung to you,” Jimin growled.

 “Whatever. I’m so happy you could make it tonight,” he said, looking at you.

 “Yeah, I’m happy to be here…”

 You looked around and realized that you didn’t really know a lot of people in the room. You looked at four girls who were all laughing and eating snacks that Jin had probably made. You wished Dahyun and Mina had come with you.

 Into the room walked Min Yoongi and another smiling male. You wish you could stop yourself from staring, but you couldn’t. There was just something about him in his plain blue boxers that attracted your eyes.

 “Okay, now that everyone is here we’re going to start,” Jin said, coming into the room. “Namjoon! Get in here!”

 A tall alpha male walked into the room. He was in black briefs and had well styled hair. There was an easy-going vibe about him.

 “Okay let’s all sit down and get this party started,” Jin said. “So tonight’s game is rather simple. We’re just playing draw a task and a name and going around in a circle. Everyone will write their names down and an activity. Once it’s your turn you just draw an activity and a name and complete it. As always you can back out at any time if you feel uncomfortable. Yes Hwasa.”

 “Can we do a quick introduction of people here?” you saw her glance at you.

 “Sure. I’m Jin omega and that’s Namjoon alpha.” He pointed to the alpha who had sat next to him. So that was Jin’s mate and oddly enough they seemed to suit each other.

 “Taehyung,” the smiley guy who had come in with Yoongi said. “Beta.”

 “Yoongi, Alpha.” His voice sounded, so relaxed that it made you more nervous.

 “Moonbyul, beta.” A girl with dark hair with a purple tint

 “Wheein, beta.”

 “Jimin Omega.”

 “(y/n) omega…” You could curse yourself for your voice no longer sounding very confident.

 “Solar omega,” said the girl next to you. She sent you a welcoming smile and you almost sighed in relief.

 “Hwasa alpha.”

“Yugyeom alpha,” a boy said. He looked vaguely familiar, but you couldn’t remember where you had seen him.

 “Jungkook, alpha.” Jungkook was eagerly grinning, like he couldn’t wait to get started.

 “BamBam omega.” The boy was young and you knew instantly from looking at him that he was another foreigner. You breathed a sigh of relief that you weren’t the only one.

 “Okay now I’m going to pass out the paper and you can all go ahead and write down everything. Keep in mind I only have whip cream left because Taehyung literally drank all the chocolate syrup the last time he was over.”

 “Hey I was thirsty!” Taehyung protested.

 Everyone laughed a bit, but drinking chocolate syrup didn’t sound very good to you.

 “So I’m going to let Jungkook start because he was whining about it earlier. We’ll just go around in a circle.”

 Jungkook eagerly dug into both bowls, pulling out a name and an action.

 “Lick whip cream from (y/n)’s underwear to her neck,” he said. His eyes were gleaming with excitement, but you barely noticed.

 The only thing you were thinking about was of course it would be you. Of course, you had to go first. Why on earth would the universe give you a break?

 “Here (y/n),” Jin said, drawing your attention. He put out his hand and you took it.

 Jin led you to the center of the circle and helped you lay down. You noticed the can of whip cream in his hand and stared nervously at it.

 “Just relax and let us know if you need to stop,” Jin instructed. He shook the can and shook it before placing right above the line of your underwear. He squirted a bit of it and you flinched from the cool feeling of the cream against your skin. “You okay baby?”

 You shivered a bit from the sudden nicknamed and glanced at Jin’s eyes. They were noticeably darker than you remembered and he looked as if he was ready to devour you whole if you would let him. There was something incredibly arousing about it. He trailed the stream of cream up your stomach and between your breasts to the right side of your neck, ending it there.

 “Hyung, I want to start,” Jungkook said.

 Jin smiled at you before pulling away.

 “She’s all yours Jungkookie.”

 The nickname was cute, but when you looked at Jungkook all traces of the cute boy were gone and replaced by an attractive man. His round eyes narrowed as he was drinking in the sight of your body laid out before him. He smirked at you.

 “Excuse me, noona,” Jungkook said, before his hands grasped your thighs and parted them. He positioned himself, so that he was laying on his stomach right in front of your parted legs, never once breaking eye contact.

 You felt anticipation curl in your stomach as one of his hands stroked your thighs. His hands were powerful and you could feel a buzzing sensation in your mind as the scent of chocolate got stronger. Oh, he was definitely high on the dominance spectrum, the way he was looking at you was enough to make you want to arch your back in desperation and push closer to him.

 The two of you kept eye contact as his tongue slowly came out and licked the first bit of cream off your body. A whimper escaped you as his lips placed a tiny kiss on the same place.

 You took a chance to glance around the room and saw that everyone’s eyes were intently watching the two of you. You sent Jimin a quick scowl at the shit eating grin on his face. His look telling you a silent told-you-so.

 You let out a surprised moan when Jungkook dug his fingers into the side of your thighs, a warning to pay attention to him. As he began to lick the cream up, kissing his way to the center of your stomach, you found yourself biting your lip to keep the little noises you were making in. God, did it feel good though.

 When he moved again he adjusted his position over you and you felt him press into your body. It made you happy that you clearly weren’t the only one enjoying this because there was no doubt in your mind what was pressing against you at the moment.

 Jungkook didn’t give you time to ponder though as he licked his way up to the center of your breasts, hands naturally coming up to knead them before making his way slowly to your neck. When he got there, he continued to kiss at it and the sensitivity had you digging your fingers into the ground as you tilted your head to the side to offer more of your neck to him.

 “I think he’s got all the cream of you now (y/n).” You opened your eyes to see Jimin with the same shit eating glare on his face and you glared at him for deciding now was the time for him to talk.

 Jungkook moved off you, glancing at you one more time before licking his lips at you. You moved to your seat next to Jimin, who just nudged you with his arm. You rolled your eyes.

 You were completely oblivious to the hungry stare some of the others in the room were giving you. Especially, one Min Yoongi. Oh, he had definitely enjoyed the sight of you mewling out your pleasure, he just didn’t like that it was Jungkook causing all of it. He had to dig his nails into the skin of his hands to stop himself from interfering. He was also fully aware of the knowing looks that Namjoon had been shooting him throughout the whole thing.

 You watched as the next few people took their turns. You were starting to notice that some people in the circle were touching themselves or someone else. You were tempted to, but you were just so entranced by the other’s actions in front of you that you would momentarily forget.

 “Choose two people to make out for thirty seconds,” Namjoon said. “Well, the name I drew was Jin. So Jin and…” He trailed off and you made the mistake of making eye contact with him. “(y/n). I’ll start the timer when the two of you start.”

 Jin was grinning as he made his way to the circle and you did as well.

 “Try not to faint,” he said, confidently.

 “Same to you,” you replied back, giving him a small smile.

 There was a playful gleam in his eyes and then Jin was kissing you. He started out with a feather light touch of his soft lips to yours before pressing more firmly, moving his lips slightly. His hand came to the back of your neck guiding you to tilt your head as he bit softly on your lower lip.

 With a gasp, you parted your lips and Jin’s tongue skillfully invaded your mouth. You felt yourself melt into the kiss as the other took complete control, mapping out your mouth as he saw fit. You tried to keep up, but were finding it hard with the sheer force the other was using. You brought your hands to his broad shoulders and gripped onto the bare skin as Jin began to completely over power you making your head tilt back as he continued.

 “Seokjin times up,” Namjoon’s deep voice said, stirring the both of you for a moment.

 Jin growled a little bit, but he pulled away from you. The two of you returned to your seats and this time there was a deep arousal curled in your gut.

 If you thought about it that was the first real kiss you had shared with anyone and you were oh so willing to repeat the action again with someone. You looked at Jimin.

 “Screw Jackson and Mark, you’re my new best friend,” you said. Jimin grinned at you.

 “Glad you’re enjoying yourself,” he said. “However, I am dying for some action.”

 “Get someone off with your hands or have someone get you off with their hands,” Taehyung read. He shot Jimin a grin. “I pulled your name Jiminnie. Why don’t we put your stubby little fingers to work?”

 Taehyung wiggled his eyebrows suggestively as the two of them moved to the center of the circle.

 “Shut the fuck up you idiot,” Jimin said.

 Without hesitation Jimin straddled Taehyung and his hand instantly going to draw circles on Taehyung’s already apparent bulge.

 Mid way through Jimin had taken Taehyung’s length out of his boxer briefs and was stroking it. You had never seen a real penis before and found yourself captivated at the sight of Jimin’s hands stroking up and down the slicked length.

 You could feel yourself getting wetter and you tried to resist the urge to touch yourself. Taehyung certainly wasn’t helping you with the pornstar moans he was letting out. The guy was incredibly vocal about everything, letting Jimin know when something felt good or telling him faster.

 “Jimin, I’m coming,” Taehyung gasped out.

 Your eyes were transfixed on Taehyung as his hips jutted into Jimin’s hands as he came in hot white spurts, moaning and groaning the entire time. One look at his blissed-out face and you were suddenly jealous that Taehyung had gotten off.

 When Jimin came back he glanced at you and smirked.

 “That turn you on?” he asked teasingly.

 “Obviously,” you scoffed. Jimin just smirked.

 “Do you need a helping hand?”

 “Depending on what happens next, yes.”

 Jimin just chuckled at you and moved his hand to your thigh as if getting ready to help you if you needed it. He had picked up on that you felt a little awkward getting yourself off and he was more than willing to help if you returned the favor.

 OO00OO

 Of course, he would. Of course, Yoongi would draw the one card everyone else and himself wanted. It was just topped off by the fact that he had drawn the card that allowed him to choose the person he got to do the task with.

 “Get someone off on your thigh, your choice of person,” Yoongi said.

 His eyes were scoping out the rest of the people. He could see that some were completely uninterested, but there were a few who were looking at him with hunger. He glanced at you to see Jimin’s hand on your thigh and eyes filled with something he would describe as a cross between hopefulness and desire.

 Oh, how he wanted to give you what you were hoping on. By the slight glimmer of sweat and the smell of peppermint he could pick out from the mixing scents he knew you were beyond aroused.

 “Jin get me a chair,” Yoongi stated.

 The older male did as asked and brought a chair from the kitchen giving Yoongi a knowing smirk. Jin knew that Yoongi had gotten serious.

 Yoongi sat down in the chair and glanced around the circle one more time. He decided that he really shouldn’t fight fate on this one.

 “(y/n), come here,” he said.

 He watched as you got up and gave Jimin a nervous glance. The other had an encouraging smile on his face, urging you to step forward.

 “Is this okay with you?” Yoongi asked quietly. “If it’s not I can ask someone else to do it.”

 “It’s okay, but I don’t really know what to do,” you said. Your eyes suddenly looking at the ground like it was the most interesting thing on earth.

 “That’s okay,” Yoongi said.

 He brought his hand and gently intertwined it with yours. He tugged it gently and you followed without resistance. He guided you so that you had one leg on either side of his right thigh. His hand left yours and he moved both of his hand to be on your hips. He felt your body tense at the action.

 “Let me know if you need to stop,” Yoongi instructed.

 You let out a huff of a laugh before placing more of your weight onto him, causing his grip to tighten on your hips. Anticipation was curling in your gut as his hands began to guide you to move on his leg.

 Admittedly riding a guy’s thigh had sounded like it wouldn’t have felt that good, but it was the way that Yoongi guided you that had you instantly letting out a whimper. He had made you angle your hips, so that your clit had rubbed right against his thigh muscle.

 His pace was slow and soft at first, but soon he was forcing you onto his thigh harder and speeding up your hips.

 “Move with me,” he purred. The scent of fresh pine filled your senses and you moaned in response.

 You felt the need to instantly do as he said. Your hips now hesitantly trying to follow the motions of his hands.

 “That’s a good girl,” he praised. You let out a moan at that. Those words egging you on to try harder. To grind against his thigh harder.

 You bit your lip to hold back the sounds you were making every time your center dragged back dragged back and forth against his thigh.

 “Is it good?” he asked. You nodded your head, moving it to rest on his shoulder. “Use your words. Is it good?”

 “Yes,” you gasped out. You felt him give a squeeze to your hips in reassurance.

 Yoongi moved his boxers up his leg, so now your center was only coming into contact with his bare skin. He clenched and unclenched his muscles letting you experience the extra rubbing sensation.

 You opened your eyes and saw that Jin now had a hand solidly wrapped around Namjoon’s cock as Namjoon watched the two of you. You let out a moan at the sight.

 You felt more than heard Yoongi chuckle at that.

 “Focus on us, not anyone else.” Yoongi placed a gentle kiss to your shoulder, so close to your scent gland, but not nearly close enough to provide you any relief. “Do you want to come?”

 “Yes,” you rasped out. At the moment, you couldn’t even recognize your own voice.

 “Don’t hold anything back from me. I want to hear every sound you make.”

 You didn’t have any time to reply. Yoongi began to bounce his thigh and roughly drag you against him.

 “You’re soaking my thigh.”

 You responded to him with a moan and closing your eyes as your hands moved to grip tightly on his back. He was absolutely right you had soaked through your underwear which only helped move you faster on his thigh. He was so good at this your clit managing to be caught in every motion that you couldn’t take it anymore.

 Yoongi said something else, but you were far too gone to understand Korean at this point in time. You buried your face into his neck inhaling his scent and then you let go.

 Your body shivered as an incredible shuddered wracked your whole body and your juices spilled onto Yoongi’s thigh more. You were breathing heavily as Yoongi kept moving your hips, so that you could ride out your high.

 As he slowed down he planted light kisses on your neck and shoulder. He placed a careful one on your jaw before pulling away.

 “Are you okay?”

 “Never better,” you responded. You were still breathing hard at his actions and not quite ready to let go of him. He seemed to sense that and waited for you to catch your breath.

 “Not to be the party pooper or anything,” Hwasa started. “But the girls and I are going to head out.”

 “Yeah it is about time we wrapped this party up,” Jin agreed.

 You forced yourself to stand at their words and went back over to Jimin who was now grinning at you.

 “Ready to admit I’m always right?” he asked.

 “Shut it.”

 Jimin was probably right about you having a thing for Min Yoongi, but you weren’t ready to admit that to him yet.

 You and Yoongi both went home without partners that night, but with a silent vow that wouldn’t be the case next time.

Sexuality

 Sexuality is a bit more progressive in this fiction than in our world, especially in terms of acceptance. So for the most part it doesn’t matter which gender someone has, the most important thing is if the two people who are together can have a child or not. When I was making this story I decided that one of the reasons people are against same sex relationships, especially in the past, was because two people of the same sex couldn’t produce a child. The main hot topic in this society is whether the right for someone to have multiple partners should be legalized or not.

 So everyone has a preference based off gender and sub-gender. It is way more likely to be based off sub-gender than someone’s gender. Sub-gender until recently was referred to as sub-sex, but with the emergence of the dominance spectrum was changed to gender for reasons that will eventually be explained by Kim Namjoon.

 The dominance spectrum is how dominant a person is (Duh…). A lot of people consider this very important because people often view it as something that will affect how they handle others in a relationship. So a person with high dominance should go with someone with low dominance (traditionally). Alphas are believed to be preconditioned to having a higher score on the dominance spectrum, betas somewhere in the middle, and omegas are thought to have a low score. However, that is not always true. For example, Jin as an omega has a really high score on the dominance spectrum. Betas have also been known to have a more flexible dominance spectrum score because their bodies and hormones will eventually adjust to whoever they are mated/bonded with.

 Warnings: Mentions of heat, sex toys, and sexual actions

  Min Yoongi could go on for hours about music composition to the right person. He lived for music and had since he was around six and playing the piano regularly. He would do anything he could to continue to have access to the equipment that allowed him to make and study music.

That even included being a graduate assistant in the undergrad music composition classes, despite the fact that he hated teaching. He also hated that most of the people took the class to get rid of requirements and weren’t actually interested in music.

 The music department only housed about twenty something undergraduates and three graduate students, one of who was also doing biology research in addition to his music studies.

 However, on the second day of classes the scent of peppermint hit him in the face as students began to filter in and take their seats. He didn’t even have to look up to know it was you. Honestly, he would probably be able to pick out your scent easily in any crowd.

 You had taken a seat near the center of the room, beginning to take out a notebook and pencil. You must have been one of the studious types Yoongi noticed. You seemed to be so focused on getting ready for the class that you hadn’t noticed him.

 Yoongi had also pegged you as one of those social types for some reason. However, you didn’t even seem to notice any of those around you.

 That was until the professor called attention to class and it was at that moment that his eyes met yours. He could tell that you were embarrassed from your expression, so he adverted his eyes. He didn’t want to make you uncomfortable.

 He wasn’t stupid though. He knew that you kept glancing at him throughout the class whenever the professor wasn’t lecturing. He could tell that you were nervous.

 When the professor dismissed class, he watched as you seemed to hesitantly pack your bag while looking at him.

 “Min can I talk to you for a second?” The professor asked.

 “Of course you can,” Yoongi answered.

 The professor seemed to wait for all the students to clear out and everyone did, except you went a little slower.

 “Well one, congratulations,” the professor said. “I heard you got contracted by a company for the next year to write songs. That’s pretty good. Does your contract ensure that you keep the rights to the songs though?”

 “Yeah, I made sure of that before accepting it,” Yoongi replied. “Unfortunately, though I’ve only been hired temporarily until they decide if they want me to stay longer.”

 “Do you have a key to their studio?”

 “Yep.” Yoongi watched as the professor smiled proudly at him.

 “That’s good. I just want to remind you to take a look at the list I sent you and make sure you give it to me by next class.”

 “Sounds good. Then I’ll see you next class professor. Have a nice day.”

 Yoongi grabbed his stuff and walked out of the classroom.

 “Excuse me!” a familiar voice called. It no longer held the same tiredness and arousal at it had when he first met the owner.

 Yoongi turned to see that you had been waiting for him by the door.

 “Yes?” he asked.

 “I just wanted to say thank you,” you stated. “If it wasn’t for you I could have… well I doubt I would be as happy as I am right now.”

 “You shouldn’t have to thank me for being a decent human being,” Yoongi replied. He really did hate that she had to thank him. It said a lot about their society that if he hadn’t helped her she would have most likely ended up harmed in some way. “You should be more careful from now on. I honestly want to lecture you for going to one of those things so close to you heat.”

 You tilted your head at him, looking confused. There was something undeniably cute about the action, but he would never admit it.

 “Jimin didn’t tell you?” You asked.

 “Tell me what?”

 “That was actually my first heat. Until then I thought I was a beta.”

 Yoongi had to try not to show how surprised he was on his face. Although this information did make sense. It would explain your living situation for one. It also explained how you seemed to have absolutely no idea what was going on when he found you.

 “You’re on omega suppressants though right?” Yoongi asked. He watched your cheeks color and you nodded your head. “Make sure to stay hydrated or you’ll get really sick from them.”

 “I know,” you replied. “Not going to lie, this whole thing feels like I have to go through puberty all over again.”

 “You kind of do though.” He watched as you offered him a kind smile.

 “Just thank you. If you ever need anything please let me know.”

 “I will,” Yoongi responded. He hadn’t thought that your smile could become any larger, but it did. Perhaps the most striking thing about it was the sincerity that radiated behind your eyes. “I’ve got to head to work, but I’ll see you around.”

 You said goodbye and it wasn’t until he turned the corner that he realized that he had forgotten one very important thing. He hadn’t asked your name. He was going to have to ask Jimin.

 OO00OO

 You had just finished your Saturday morning run with Jackson and Mark. It felt good that you had finally settled back into a somewhat normal routine. You had managed to catch up with all of your classes by the end of the week. Thankfully you weren’t experiencing any side effects from your new suppressants either. All in all, everything was going well for you.

 You had already noticed the way people were looking at you differently. You supposed it was natural, considering you now had a new sub-gender. You now appealed to different people as an omega than you did as a beta. You had never really felt that alphas paid attention to you that much as a beta female, but now you could tell some were going out of their way to grab your attention or say hello. It sort of irked you, but you supposed you can’t control what other people are into. You were going to try not to dwell on it too much.

 Mark and Jackson had suggested that the three of you get breakfast at a convenience store, saving all of you a bit of time. To be honest you had ran a bit farther than usual and you really didn’t want to cook, so you agreed to it almost immediately. Once you all had your breakfast you sat down at the counter that overlooked the street outside.

 “We should do something after we all shower. Want to catch a movie or something? Mark asked.

 “I can’t. Jimin is planning some type of roommate bonding thing,” you responded.

 “Why don’t you just ask Jimin if we can go along?” Jackson asked.

 “That sort of eliminates the whole roommate bonding thing. I also have no idea what his plans are.” Mark hummed in thought.

 “Jimin was the one who helped you when you had your first heat right?” Mark asked.

 “Help is a bit of an understatement,” Jackson muttered. You smacked him on the back of the head and he just pouted.

 “ Yeah he is. He’s super nice. I’m honestly a bit sad that we never ran into each other before. We’re the same year and everything, but because we were in different departments we never ran into each other. He’s taken really good care of me so far.”

 “Oh, I’m sure he has,” Jackson said, rolling his eyes. You just sent him a glare.

 “When are you going to get over the fact that Jimin had his fingers on my vagina.”

 Mark started to cough at your words chocking on whatever he had been drinking. You patted his back as you continued to glare at Jackson.

 “I am not going to get over it!” Jackson snapped back. “You weren’t in the right state of mind to decide something like that. He was taking advantage of your heat! Of course I’m never going to forgive him!”

 “Jackson, I know this is your way of showing that you care, but you’re being unnecessarily over protective. If this is just because I turned out to be an omega—”

 “It’s not! I would be just as pissed if you had turned out to be an alpha. You’re like my little sister. The last thing I want to hear is something about a man’s stubby little fingers up your vagina!”

 “Okay, I am stopping this conversation right now because I clearly missed something and having you two yelling about (y/n)’s genitals is going to get us kicked out and banned from this place,” Mark said.

 “I mean I’m just a little shocked still about this. I always thought if you presented as something you would be an alpha,” Jackson said.

 “Trust me she was going to be an omega,” Mark said with a laugh. The two of you looked at him curiously. “Despite the fact that she’s strong physically, she cares a lot for others. It’s like an omega’s defining characteristic that they’re good at that stuff.”

 “I always just thought that she would be an alpha because the two of you smell so similar.” Jackson crinkled his nose at the thought. “I guess what you say makes sense…”

 Mark gave the two of you a smile. Mark was odd in a sense that he was an alpha, but it took a while for people to realize he was an alpha. He was just quiet and for some reason only started giving off alpha vibes when he was close to a rut. Otherwise his refreshing scent of spearmint was rather calming. He was a good and reliable friend. He would come running if you needed help even if it was something as stupid as a beetle had flown into your apartment at three in the morning. Which for the record, had been something Jackson called him for and not you.

 “You should probably get going if you have plans,” Mark said.

 “You’re right. I’ll see you both later,” You told them. You picked up your stuff and threw it away before leaving.

 Jimin seemed nice, but you wouldn’t want to test his patience too much by making everyone wait for you.

 OO00OO

 Your roommates were nice to say the least. They had been very welcoming and understanding of your sudden arrival. Although Jimin was the one you mostly spoke to because the two of you were the same age and seemed to be on similar schedules.

 Dahyun was the same age as Momo and Sana were. She was bubbly and quirky. Also, probably the loudest of your roommates. You hadn’t been surprised at all that she was studying to be an elementary school teacher. She was very nice always making sure to say hello to everyone in the dorm whenever she got back.

 Mina, however, was the quietest of the bunch despite being in the same year as Dahyun. She was a foreign exchange student like you, but she was from Japan. She was a dance major like Jimin. She focused on classical ballet instead of contemporary though. She was nice offering a smile, but wasn’t quite as open about things as Dahyun and Jimin were.

 Jimin’s idea of roommate bonding turned out to be going out to a really fancy restaurant. It was western and Korean styled food. He said that you were all going to have a great time.

 “Jimin, how did you find out about this place?” you asked. Everyone turned to look at you.

 “Our old roommate actually runs it,” Jimin said. “He graduated last year from the business program and moved in with his mate.”

 “He’s already mated to Namjoon?” Mina asked. “I thought they just moved in together.”

 “Nah they decided to make it official over the summer. Namjoon’s parents had some reservations about him living with a non-mated omega, so Jin took it upon himself to fix the problem.” Jimin grinned at his own words like he was recalling something.

 “Oh, (y/n),” Dahyun said. “We eat here free for life. Don’t even bother looking at the prices. I certainly don’t anymore.”

 The four of you ordered and were brought your food. You had been in Korea for a little over a year and a half now, so you honestly had not been expecting much in the way of a Western Breakfast. However, the meal in front of you was perfect. From the eggs to the actual bacon sitting on your plate.

 Ten minutes later an absolutely stunning male had stopped at your table. He was everything that K-dramas tried to convince foreign girls all Korean men look like. Broad shoulders, caring eyes, and an incredible smile.

 “I see the three of you have come to try and eat me out of business again,” he said. You took it that this must be Jin. He glanced at you. “<em>Umm… hello?</em>”

 “Hello, I’m (l/n) (y/n),” you said bowing. “It’s nice to meet you.”

 “You speak Korean?”

 “Yes,” you replied. You felt a little awkward at how surprised he was. Although this wasn’t necessarily unusual for you.

 “Ah sorry,” Jin said. He rubbed his neck awkwardly. “I’m Kim Seokjin, but everyone calls me Jin.”

 “Or Umma,” Jimin added. Jin glared at him. “She’s our new roommate.”

 “Really? Well good luck with that,” Jin said. He let out a sigh. “None of them can cook, so I suggest if you can you never show them your skills or they’re going to be whining for you to cook for them.”

 “I’ll keep that in mind, but honestly most of the food I make is barely edible as well,” you replied.

 “Oh good god,” Jin groaned. “You’re all going to starve to death this year.”

 Everyone laughed at that. Jin asked if he could sit down next to you in the booth and you moved over. It was the first time you caught a wind of his lime scent that was rather refreshing. The older male didn’t exactly take up a small amount of space with his long limbs, but luckily for you Mina who had been sitting next to you barely took up any.

 “So, I don’t know if Jimin has told you this, but there’s a party going on at my house later tonight,” Jin started. The look in his eye had changed. If you hadn’t heard about him being mated you would have thought that he was flirting with you.

 “To be honest, after getting my heat in the middle of a party slightly drunk parties no longer appeal to me that much,” you replied.

 Jimin and Jin shared a look with each other.

 “Maybe you can talk more to Jimin about it and decide later,” Jin suggested. “Well I should leave all of you to your meal. Are any of you coming?”

 “I’m going to pass this time,” Min said, a rosy tint to them. “I’ve got homework.”

 “I think Jimin and I are for sure going,” Dahyun said.

 “All right then I’ll see the two of you then,” Jin said. “(y/n), I hope maybe you’ll reconsider your answer.”

 With that Jin left the four of you to finish eating.

 “Now, let’s get started with the next part of our day!” Jimin said, with a bright smile across his face. You weren’t sure if that was a good or a bad thing.

 OO00OO

 It turns out that it most definitely was not a good thing. Sure, you knew that shops like this one existed all around the world, but you did not think that part of Jimin’s roommate bonding was going to involve going to an Omega sex toy shop. Although they were really common in some parts of the world, they weren’t really popular in East Asia. They were starting to pop up more in Japan and South Korea, but you had seen maybe three in China after living there for four years.

 One thing was certain though. It was definitely not Jimin’s first time in the shop because he was literally giving you a tour of the different areas and offering to help you find the right toy.

 “Why are we doing this?” you asked.

 “Well…” Dahyun paused thinking for a moment. “We weren’t sure, but you didn’t seem like you were going to choose a heat partner, so we wanted to make sure you would for sure be prepared for your next heat.”

 “Unless you were thinking of getting a heat partner,” Jimin said, grinning at you. “Who was that handsome alpha friend of yours? Mark was it?”

 “I’d climb him like a tree,” Dahyun said, nodding her head. You looked between the two of them with a disgusted face. “Oh come on! You had to have noticed how sexy he is?”

 “Not really?” you replied. “I just never felt a need for sex, until I got my heat. I’ll admit that I’m looking at people differently now, but I never had an interest.”

 “Did you ever date anyone?” Mina asked.

 “Yeah I did, but it usually ended before it got to the point of physical intimacy,” you answered. You let out a sigh. “I sort of stopped dating when it got to the point that everyone was presenting because I wasn’t really interested in trying to help someone get through their heat when I hadn’t had my own yet.”

 “Are you going to take a heat partner though?” Jimin asked. “If not, you should seriously consider getting something.”

 Although you wanted to protest you felt the concern lacing his voice, meaning that Jimin was seriously worried about you.

 “I guess trying something wouldn’t hurt,” you replied. “My last heat was really rough. If I didn’t have that…”

 You stopped because you realized that maybe you shouldn’t say that Yoongi your TA had given you his jacket. Although you doubted that it was a big deal. You only knew his name because you read the syllabus for the course and his name along with his email had been listed at the top of the page along with the professor.

 Jimin grinned at you. He either realized what you were thinking about or he was that happy that you agreed to get something.

 “I know just what we can start with.” Jimin clapped his hands together before dragging you away from Dahyun and Mina who began to look around the shop as well.

 Jimin brought you to a wall with various vibrators displayed on it. He rubbed his chin.

 “I think that we should start you out with a bullet and some stuff to clean it,” Jimin said. “So you like Yoongi?”

 You coughed in surprise at the direct question.

 “He’s my TA,” you responded back.

 “So… That wasn’t exactly a no to that. You know he’s not seeing anyone right now,” Jimin said. “Not even a heat partner. I bet he would love to know you’re interested.”

 “I don’t think I’m his type,” you replied. Jimin just laughed at that.

 “Please. The Min Yoongi does not have a type. He dates whoever listens to him and puts up with him.”

 “That could literally be anyone.”

 “My point.” Jimin rubbed his chin in thought. “Most omegas don’t really give him a second look though. He doesn’t seem alpha like to a lot of people.”

 “Really? He seems like an alpha to me.”

 “I guess you might just be a bit more open minded than Korean omegas. They want someone tall and buff, otherwise they don’t consider them an alpha.”

 “Ah, I guess that could be the case.” You didn’t know what to say. Min Yoongi had struck you as an alpha the very moment you laid eyes on him during your heat and again when you had noticed him in the front of your classroom. There was just something about him that made you feel like he was an alpha, and a good one at that.

 “If you want I could maybe see if I can get you something with his scent on it for your heat.”

 The thought was very tempting. His scent had been intoxicating and calming all at the same time. Every now and then you would swear you could smell it randomly, but you knew that was ridiculous. It wasn’t likely that there would be the scent of pine in Seoul.

 “Isn’t that weird for you to ask?” you asked. Jimin laughed at that.

 “I borrow stuff from my alpha friends all the time when I get close to my heat and don’t have a partner. It won’t be a big deal at all.”

 “I’ll think about it,” you said. You didn’t want him to press anymore on the topic. “So Jin’s party? What was that all about?”

 Jimin’s cheeks dusted with pink and he looked away as if he was embarrassed.

 “He shouldn’t have brought that up around you,” Jimin replied. He let out a sigh. “Jin and his mate host finding parties.”

 “I don’t understand,” you told him. Sometimes Korean slang could be difficult and you had a feeling this was one of them.

 “Finding parties are parties where basically… oh god… promise not to judge me?”

 “Of course I won’t judge you.”

 “Basically, it’s for people who aren’t sure what they like or like everything. Usually we play a game where we do stuff to each other… like sexual stuff.”

 “Ah I see…”

 “You said you weren’t going to judge me!”

 “I’m not. I’m just a bit confused why a bonded couple is hosting a party like that.”

 “They like other people to join because they are both kinky fucks,” Jimin said. He was making a face that told you he had one point been a part of that or asked at the very least. “I figured I would tell you about them eventually, but I figured you were still adjusting and everything.”

 “Does this place have rules?” you asked.

 “Absolutely no alcohol for one thing,” Jimin said. “Anyone can back out at any time, and no shamming of any type. Other than that, then not really.”

 “Those are good rules,” you replied.

 “Yeah, let me know if you want to come to one. I can promise that Namjoon and Jin are pretty careful about who they invite.”

 “I had known Jin for like ten minutes and he asked me to come.”

 “Maybe he just likes you? Seriously I stopped trying to understand that hyung after he got into dad jokes. Come on let’s pick you out a vibrator!”

 You laughed at his abrupt transition, but then proceed to decide which bullet vibrator to buy upon Jimin’s recommendation.

 OO00OO

 Jimin and you had parted ways with Dahyun and Mina. The two of you had opted to get coffee on campus instead of heading straight back to the dorm with them. Maybe you should have asked one of them to take your bag with them because carrying around a vibrator wasn’t exactly the smartest thing to do on a college campus, especially when you are friends with a Jackson Wang.

 So despite the fact that the shop used wonderfully discrete bags, Jackson would still notice it by your side and take said bag from your hands. Look into it and drop it screaming like a little girl outside on the sidewalk.

 “You!” Jackson yelled, pointing at Jimin. “You did this to her!”

 Last time Jimin had been nice and relaxed when Jackson had practically threatened him. Since then every time Jackson threw him a dirty look he had managed not to take it too personally, but this little confrontation had clearly been the last straw for Jimin.

 “Oh shut the hell up!” Jimin snapped. “I did nothing to her. She made this decision on her own and it’s a fucking good one you as a beta male wouldn’t even understand. Why don’t you go read about how much an omega can suffer during heat and how it could potentially threaten their health? If you do then you’ll suddenly be thanking me.”

 Jackson was surprised at his sudden outburst and opened his mouth to talk, but Mark placed a hand on his shoulder. He offered the two of you a kind smile.

 “He’s right Jackson,” Mark said. “Thank you for looking after her so well.”

 Mark gave Jimin a bow and Jimin suddenly looked awkward and offered one back. Mark slapped Jackson’s back.

 “Sorry…” Jackson muttered. Jimin looked between the two of them.

 “Are you two together?” Jimin asked.

 Both males promptly gagged and you started laughing at the question.

 “No!” Jackson protested. “Gross he’s like my bro!”

 “Just saying he’s trained you well,” Jimin said, raising his hands in surrender. “So maybe we can just put the past in the past then?”

 “Sure…” Jackson rolled his eyes, but you could tell he was just pouting. “Only if you agree to a movie night tonight with (y/n), Mark, and I.”

 “Jimin you have plans you do not have to do that,” you cut in. “Jackson’s just pouting.”

 “Nah don’t worry about it,” Jimin said. “It could be fun.”

 Jimin smiled at you and you returned it. Park Jimin was an absolute angel for putting up with this.

 “I don’t mean to be the bearer of bad news,” Mark said, bringing up a hand to scratch at his head. “But Jackson, you just made it even harder to decide what language to put the movie we watch in.”

 “Oh shit,” Jackson muttered.

 You swear that this was a weird problem.

 OO00OO

 “Joonie, I’m telling you she was perfect,” Jin whined again.

 Yoongi was helping Namjoon and Jin clean up after one of their parties. Most people had already gone home with a partner for the night or left. Or they were Taehyung, who had passed out on the sofa in the living room.

 “I’m sure she was,” Namjoon said while rinsing out a plastic bowl. Jin still refused to let him touch the breakables in their new apartment. “Why don’t you describe her to me… again…”

 Yoongi had to almost laugh at Namjoon and Jin’s relationship. He wasn’t sure there were two people out there better for each other. The two melded together so well and somehow understood each other despite the fact both of them sometimes seemed like polar opposites.

 However, the two of them had been looking for someone they thought could complete them even more. Jin was an omega, but he was high on the dominance spectrum and so was Namjoon. They loved each other and their sex life was great. He wasn’t sure he had met two people as willing to cater to their partner’s needs as much as them, but it wasn’t quite enough. So they began their search and had started hosting these parties sometime last year to see if they could find anyone.

 “Super pretty big (e/c),” Jin started. “She was foreign, but her Korean wasn’t accented. Very polite and when she smiles her eyes light up. Also the fresh scent of peppermint made it all so tempting to want to see if she tasted like it.”

 “Wait… Are you talking about Jimin’s new roommate?” Yoongi asked.

 “You know her hyung?” Namjoon asked.

 “Yeah, she’s in the class I’m student teaching for,” Yoongi said. He wasn’t sure he wanted to tell Namjoon and Jin exactly how the two of you met. He wasn’t sure you wanted that information being told to others.

 “She likes music?” Namjoon asked. His interest was finally peeked and Yoongi wasn’t sure how he felt about it.

 “Don’t know,” he answered. Which was true in his defense. “I haven’t talked to her much.”

 “Jimin absolutely loves her though,” Taehyung said, yawning and coming into the kitchen. “He keeps ditching me to hang out with her. Says he finally has a super close omega friend that gets him or whatever. He’s only known her for like a week though.”

 “Sometimes all it takes is a week,” Jin said, smiling at Namjoon.

 “Jin it took us like three days,” Namjoon said, laughing at Jin. The two of them held eye contact and Namjoon placed a peck on Jin’s lips.

 “You guys are absolutely disgusting,” Taehyung said making a face.

 “Then leave,” they said in unison.

 “Come on Taehyung let’s leave the two of them alone,” Yoongi said. “I’ll drive you back to campus.”

 “I hope so,” Taehyung said. “We do live together.”

 Yoongi just grunted at that as the two of them moved to leave. He couldn’t stop his mind from wondering if he would be leaving with Taehyung though if you had decided to come tonight.

Beginning A/N

. There are a few things though that I want to say before we kick off this story. One is that this story is going to be incredibly kinky, I am just making that clear up front. There won’t be any blood play or anything too hardcore, but it will be kinkier than the average story more than likely.

Two, for this story I intend for the reader to be a few things. One is that she is intelligent, but being intelligent doesn’t exempt people from making questionable decisions. Two is that she is not Korean, but is fluent enough to get into a Korean university, more of that will be explained throughout the story. Three is that she is a mixed race female with dark skin. Yes she has DARK skin. If you have an issue with that you can leave. However, I will more than likely leave the description of her skin color out of the writing because nothing turns me as a dark skin female off more than “his hands trailed down your pale skin”. I mention this because if you’re someone who uses that description in a reader insert, please stop.

Third is this is going to touch on a variety of different issues that I’m sure many people may disagree on. These are all going to have to do with race and sexuality more often than not. I’m not going to go into specific political issues, but if you are politically informed than you may recognize some of the stuff.

Lastly, at the beginning of every chapter will be warnings for the chapter in case content might be something that you may not be into or may cause incredible discomfort for some people. As well as need to know definitions and explanations for the AU in each of these chapters.

Warnings: : Drinking and smut

Gender Much like our world people are assigner a sex based on what genitalia they possess. Gender is the same as it is in our world people choosing to identify whatever they decide be it female, male, or fluid. However, in addition to these are sub-genders. Sub-genders are in a way something a person cannot choose, but many believe that the way a person acts is what determines these sub-genders when people present. The sub-genders are alpha, beta, and omega.

Enjoy the first chapter!

Your Saturday had started out like any other day. With a nice breakfast and you calmly looking at the news on your laptop. Unlike most college students your age, you were known for being incredibly calm and put together. Your professors had mentioned this more than once and your classmates generally commented on it any chance they got. For the most part, it was a good thing. However, you not being so ready to go out and do things often got those around you to try and drag you out to things.

Your two best friends Mark and Jackson often dragged you out of your dorm to go for runs in the morning. The only reason that you hadn’t gone today was because according to Jackson, Mark had started his rut and was in no shape to go running. Jackson wanted to go lift weights and you had no interest in being that sore the next day. So, the beginning of your day had been relaxing, but now it was anything but.

You lived with three other roommates. There was Sana who was a beta like you. The girl was unbelievably cute, but pretty out there now and then. Momo was your other roommate who despite being an alpha was oozing with ageyo. It was actually quite disgusting at times, but hard to resist. The last roommate was Tzuyu. She was a sharp-tongued alpha that you personally never wanted to mess with. It wasn’t like she was constantly threatening anyone, but she could definitely intimidate people with a meaningful glare. She was your newest roommate having moved in for her first year just earlier this week. She was already famous though for being incredibly beautiful.

The reason why you’re thinking about them is because you’re pissed at them. The three of them combined had managed to get you out of the house and to some ridiculous house party. Normally house parties weren’t the worst thing that someone could force to go to, that would be night clubs. However, it was because Momo and Sana wanted to try and set you up with an alpha that you had been crushing on. The only problem was that he was known to only date omegas.

You personally had no issues with being a beta. Some people liked it some people hated it. The only thing that was surprising was that you hadn’t gone into a beta heat once. Which meant that you were a late bloomer. It just happened that was all going to change later that night.

OOOOOOOO

“You’re cute, so I don’t think it will really matter if you’re an omega or not,” Momo said, sipping on her beer.

“Everyone is aware that Jinyoung only dates omegas,” you said. You were on your second drink of the incredibly strong punch that the party’s hosts had provided. By the time you finished this one, it would probably be enough, so that you were pleasantly buzzed.

“It doesn’t hurt to try right,” Sana said. She had a positive smile on her face as she tried to encourage you.

“It hurts my pride,” you stated. You downed the rest of the drink quickly looking for an excuse to escape your friends. “I need another drink. I’ll be right back.”

You made your way back to the kitchen, moving past the sweaty and hormonal bodies. When you go there you found Jinyoung pouring more vodka into the punch bowl. You should have known that this was his party.

“Hey (y/n) what’s up?” he asked once he noticed you.

“Getting more punch,” you stated. You cringed on the inside at how squeaky your voice sounded. “What about you?”

“Making more punch.” He paused for a moment and his eyes met yours. “Are you feeling okay? Your face looks a little red.”

You knew that at that comment your cheeks had probably become redder. You placed a hand to your cheek and felt that you were burning up.

“Uhh… I don’t think there’s anything wrong,” you replied.

Jinyoung set the bottle of vodka down and moved to press a hand to your forehead. You felt a wave of heat go through your body and felt the urge to present your neck to him. You swatted his hand away and Jinyoung gave you a surprised look.

“I’m going to pee,” you stuttered out.

You made a run for the stairs feeling that wave of heat happen again as you smelled the scent of chocolate and again at the smell of coconut. You had no idea what was going on, but your body temperature was increasing at an alarming rate and you felt yourself getting wetter.

When you reached the top of the steps your senses were invaded by the scent of fresh pine as you stared up at a man. Your mind screamed alpha as you looked into his dark eyes. His black hair framed his confused looking pale face as he stared down at you.

“Help…” you moaned at him.

OOOOOOO

Yoongi hated parties, especially house parties where one could accidentally walk in on some couple going at it. His normal plan of attack was to find an empty room and stay in it by himself until it was socially acceptable for him to leave. Perhaps if he was still an undergrad than he would enjoy them, but he was now a graduate student and felt no need to interact with the immature undergraduates.

However, Hoeseok had insisted that they go. He had backup from Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook, so that had left Yoongi with no chance of getting out of this.

Yoongi had been about to leave when a stumbling and scared looking omega had come up the stairs. His nose had been assaulted with the scent of peppermint as she stared helplessly at him with doe eyes. A scared omega was unfortunately not to uncommon at these parties, but this one definitely stood out. She was a foreigner which was something not to common in their university or at least western foreigners weren’t too common.

“Help…” her voice was weak and confused. Despite the scent of arousal rolling off her she didn’t seem to be asking him for help of the sexually kind.

Yoongi moved instantly without thought to help her. She was going into heat. This had to be one of the most dangerous places for her, where any drunk idiotic college asshole could try and take advantage of her.

“Get on my back,” Yoongi instructed.

The second he turned around the girl instantly flung herself onto his back clinging onto his favorite leather jacket like her life depended on it.

He began to make his way outside to the yard. Quickly weaving between the bodies that were probably starting to become aware of the omega’s intoxicating scent.

“Which building do you live in?” he asked. They weren’t too far away from campus. He could probably get her back before the worst of it hit.

“Alpha/Beta building four,” she replied.

Yoongi stopped. That was impossible. The girl was clearly an omega her living in that building would pose a threat to her safety. If she was mated she would be living in one of the mating buildings.

“Do you have anyone I can call for you?” Yoongi asked.

“Tzuyu…” you said.

Yoongi paused. That was one of the Alpha’s in Jungkook’s orientation group. That probably wasn’t a good idea. He knew for a fact that Tzuyu was unmated and didn’t have an omega.

“Do you have any omega friends that I can call for you?” Yoongi asked.

“Why? I should be fine with Tzuyu,” you mumbled. You moved your head into the crook his neck and Yoongi felt himself freeze as you inhaled his scent.

“You’re having an omega heat. You’ll be safest with an omega,” he stated.

“Alpha help me.” Yoongi felt a shiver go through his body at the sincere words.

The girl’s grip tightened around him and it was clear that the effects of the heat were surely getting stronger. He felt the girl slowly move to the point where she was nuzzling close to his scent gland and he felt like the contact was all too intimate for someone he didn’t know well and someone who didn’t really know what she was doing. As much as he would love to let her do it, he couldn’t. He skillfully adjusted her on his back away from his scent gland.

Yoongi tugged his phone out of his pocket and clumsily sent his location to a friend. It was a bit difficult with the death grip you had on his body.

Yoongi had always been known as an odd alpha. Alpha’s were normally tall and strong, stereotypically all muscle and no brains. They were known for being aggressive and able to dominate others at any time, so they were high on the dominance spectrum. However, the one thing that Yoongi prided himself on was his self-control that many alphas seemed to lack. With the way you were so trustingly nuzzling into his neck, just barely missing his scent gland, he was surprised that he hadn’t lost control yet.

“Yah, Hyung what was so urgent that you had to…” a voice yelled. Jimin had stop running toward him and glanced at the girl hanging off his back.

Jimin was an interesting person to say the least. He had the whole cute thing going for him, but there was something incredibly strong in his presence. Yoongi knew that Jimin had faced a lot of issues when he had found out he was an omega. He just didn’t fit the normal omega stereotype, not that Jimin really cared.

“What the hell is going on hyung?” Jimin asked.

“You still have that vacant room in your omega apartment, right?” Yoongi asked.

“Yeah…”

“She keeps telling me she lives in an Alpha/Beta building. Can you take her to your place for her heat?”

“Yeah… there’s no way that she can stay in an Alpha/Beta building. The girl reeks of omega.”

“No kidding,” Yoongi muttered. He was perfectly aware of how you smelled. He was also beginning to feel a buzz of arousal through him. “Do you think you can get her back by yourself?”

“Sure, it should be no problem,” Jimin responded. “Hi there you’re going to come with me. We’re going to get you to a nice safe place.”

Jimin reached out and tried to pull you away from Yoongi, but you merely tightened your grip on him and pressed closer into his leather jacket. Jimin kept cooing at you, trying to get you off him and you only held tighter on him, and Yoongi wasn’t sure what to do.

“Feel safe, don’t want to go,” you whispered.

Yoongi felt your words tug at his heart strings. He knew that no matter how much he prided himself on his control, he couldn’t guarantee that you would feel safe with him when this wave died down. You couldn’t give him consent at this point in time and he would take advantage of you if left long enough with you in heat like this.

“Listen, I need you to go with Jimin okay,” Yoongi started. “He is going to help you like I can’t right now. Go with him okay?”

Yoongi felt you loosen your grip on him and try to stand on your own, but you let out a loud moan and your legs gave out. Thankfully, Jimin was there to catch you, but Yoongi needed to get away. Your scent was becoming increasingly potent and he could feel a heat stirring in his gut.

“Hyung, your jacket,” Jimin said.

“What?”

“Give me your jacket,” Jimin said. “Your scent should be able to help her through this heat. I can get it back to you after she’s done with it.”

Yoongi hesitated for a moment, but peeled it off before tossing it to Jimin who caught it.

“Do you want me to walk with you there?” he asked.

“Normally, I would say yes, but Hyung.” Yoongi cocked an eyebrow at him. “You’re clearly aroused and I suggest you do something about it.”

Yoongi clicked his tongue. Damn hormones were out to get him.

OO00OO

What was this guy’s name? Jimin that was it. Your mind was kind of all over the place at the moment, but it could register that Jimin had taken you back to his dorm like the alpha earlier had said. He had set you in a room and had brought back pillows and blankets, but it was hard to stay focused. The burning and itching sensation you had felt earlier was downright painful at this point.

Beta heats were supposed to be mild and pass easily, but you had never imagined that it would be this painful. Sana had never had any issues with hers like this.

“Hey…” Jimin’s voice drew your mind from the thoughts. “(y/n), right?”

You nodded your head and moved to look at him. At this point though your vision was getting blurry and it was hard to focus on him.

“Do you understand me?” Jimin asked. You nodded your head at him. “Good. I’ve contacted your roommates and they know what’s going on. You’re having an omega heat.”

“But I’m a beta?” you replied.

“Yeah, that’s something we’re going to have to talk about when you’re a bit more with it. You’re having an omega heat and that means you need to orgasm or I’m going to have to take you to the hospital eventually.”

Despite everything you let out a bitter laugh. Why was this happening to you?

“How?”

“Excuse me?” Jimin seemed confused.

“How do I orgasm?” you asked. Was that the right word? God, you could tell your Korean was starting to go.

“You mean you never…” Jimin trailed off. “Umm… well shit. You just you know, touch yourself.”

You felt another painful burst in your body and you whimpered loudly. Okay this wasn’t going anywhere. The only thing that seemed to be happening was your body hurting more and slick noticeably starting to soak through your clothes.

“Can you I don’t know help me?” you asked. “Just the first time.”

“I don’t know if I—”

“Please,” you begged.

“Just the first time,” Jimin said.

You saw his blurred form move closer to you and suddenly the fresh scent of oranges filled your senses. Now that Jimin had moved closer you could make out more of him.

Jimin was most definitely built solid, he had to be to have gotten you over here, but that was now all the more obvious to you now. For the first time, you were looking at his face. He had a captivating face. His eyes were serious as he moved closer checking you for any doubt and his lips looked absolutely kissable. He was probably incredibly attractive, but right now it didn’t really matter as long as he helped you. He maneuvered himself, so that he sat behind you with his arms comfortingly wrapping around you.

“Okay… shit what do you? How should I?” He couldn’t seem to make up his mind what to do. “Are my fingers okay?”

“Yes, just please do something!” you whined out.

“But like are you really sure?”

“Yes!”

You heard him mutter something, but finally he slid his hand under your skirt. His hands felt almost cooling against your burning skin and you let out a loud moan when his fingers gently brushed over your clothed core.

“Okay, so I think the easiest way to get off for girls is probably to just stimulating the clit, so I’m going to do that,” Jimin instructed. “Light circles, slapping, pinching stuff like that. Maybe experiment and find out what you like?”

You wanted to yell at him to hurry up again, but his had finally slipped inside your panties and you were in heaven. Your head instantly thrown back on his shoulder as Jimin rubbed tight little circles on your clit.

“Oh, wow you’re wet,” he whispered in your ear. “Even for an omega you’re wet. You must really be feeling it.”

You moaned out a little agreement and he started rubbing circles faster and you felt yourself tensing and relaxing all at the same time as you could tell you were approaching your climax.

“God you’re beautiful,” Jimin said. You let out a laugh.

“I was thinking you weren’t so bad yourself,” you replied.

“What?” he asked. Shit you spoke in English. “Don’t worry just relax. You’re almost there.”

Your hands found purchase and gripped onto Jimin’s solid thighs as his fingers pressed down harder and moved faster over you.

“Come on move your hips with me,” he instructed. You complied right away and were rewarded with absolute bliss from the feeling.

It only took a few more movements and you were coming and whimpering at the clenching of your core. You felt dazed and the heat was still burning, but Jimin kissed your hair softly before moving away from you. You moaned at the loss.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t keep helping you,” he said. He brought over a jacket and the fresh scent of pine hit your senses. You instantly placed the jacket to your nose to inhale more of the soothing scent. “Breathe into this and do what I just did. I’ll bring you food and water, but you have to do the rest of it yourself. Okay?”

“Okay,” you responded.

“That’s a good girl.” You moaned at the endearment causing him to curse. “Whoever ends up with you is going to have to be careful not to spoil you rotten. If you need anything I’ll be right outside don’t worry you’re safe.”

With that Jimin left you to your own devices.

OO00OO

It was about four days later when you emerged from the room into the common area of the dorm sore and probably looking like a mess. Jimin was sitting at the counter with a book open and a cup of iced coffee. He offered you a small smile.

“How are you feeling?” he asked.

“A bit like I got hit by a truck,” you replied.

“That’s good and normal,” he replied. He paused for a moment. “So how are you taking the whole omega thing?”

“What do you mean?” you asked.

“Most people are disappointed when they turn out to be an omega. You know, wage gap and all those other things,” Jimin said.

“Ehh… It was unexpected, but I’m fine with it,” you replied. “The coolest person I know is an omega.”

“Coolest person you know?”

“My dad. My mom’s a beta and they had me kind of late in the game. Their relationship wasn’t too accepted at the time,” you answered.

Jimin paused for a moment looking like he wanted to press you for more, but he didn’t.

“So what are you going to do now?” Jimin asked.

“I guess, I’m going to have to go to the housing office and see if they have any open omega housing,” you answered. “Pick up my books and contact some of my professors. I missed the first two days of class, so I guess I should try to catch up.”

“Well, I hope you don’t mind but… I told the housing office you could stay here,” Jimin said. “I talked to my other roommates and they thought it would be fine. They’re actually pretty good friends with your roommates.”

“No that makes my life ten times easier,” you said. You offered him a small smile. “How soon can I move in?”

“Umm immediately if you can,” Jim said. “It’s uncommon, but sometimes a second heat can happen if an omega presents late. It would be better for you to move in here in case that happens.”

“It’s like I’m going through puberty all over again…”

Jimin chuckled at that.

“If you want I can call some of my friends to come help grab stuff if you want to go now.”

“No don’t worry about it…” You trailed off. “Do you happen to have my cell phone?”

“It’s in the living room charging. Sorry I used it to try and call people for you. You should really put a lock on that thing.”

“I’ve got nothing to hide,” you called, moving to the living room. You picked up your phone when you found it and dialed Jackson.

“Wei?”

“Xianzai ni mang bu mang?” you asked. (Are you busy right now?)

“Bu mang. Tzuyu gaosu wo ni shi yi ge omega. Ta shou huang le ma?” (Now I’m not busy. Tzuyu told me you’re an omega. Is she lying?)

“Dangrang ta bu shou huang le. Wo zhende shi yi ge omega. Wo xuyao bangjia. Ni keyi bang wo ma?” (Of course she didn’t lie. I’m really an omega. I need to move. Could you help me?)

“Keyi, keyi. Ji dian?” (Yeah I can. When?)

“Wo yao xizao. Xizao yihou wo gei ni da dianhua, hao ma?” (I want to shower. After I shower how about I call you to help?)

“Hao de.” (Sounds good.)

“Xie xie ni.” (Thank you.)

“Meishi.” (Don’t worry about it.)

You hung up the phone and turned around to see Jimin with his jaw wide open.

“You speak Chinese too?” he asked.

“I speak Mandarin well yes. I never quite got the hang of Cantonese though. My Mandarin is way better than my Korean.”

“Your Korean is really good though,” Jimin said. “A lot of foreigners have more of an accent when speaking, but yours is pretty unnoticeable.”

“Thanks, but I still have a lot to know.”

“You mean learn.”

“See I just proved my own point. Do you mind if I grab a quick shower?”

“Not at all. The green towel is mine so feel free to use it.”

“Thanks.”

You went to go shower and took a deep breath. This was weird, but you were going to have to get used to it.

OO00OO

“Baobei!” Jackson said. Without further ado, he gave you a bone crushing hug and the his somewhat metallic scent filled your senses.

“My friend is here so speak Korean,” you said, returning the hug so that he would finally let go of you. He didn’t though he just kept you in your arms.

“Oh hello!” Jackson said, noticing Jimin for the first time. "Jackson Wang. Nice to meet you!”

“Uhh… Park Jimin,” Jimin said, looking at you. He looked equal parts confused and worried. “Is this guy your boyfriend?”

“No. He’s really more of a family friend than my friend,” you replied. “I just called him because I needed some more muscle.”

“Aww don’t be like that.” Jackson finally removed his arms from around you. “I asked Mark to meet us at your old dorm. Hope you don’t mind.”

“That’s fine.”

“Shall we head out then?” Jimin said with a smile.

“Yeah… Ugh I hate packing things this is going to be a nightmare,” you said.

“Getting your heat for the first time at a house party is most people’s worst nightmare,” Jimin said.

“You got it at a party?” Jackson asked. “You went to a party? You never go to parties. Maybe this is some mystical force’s way of telling you that you shouldn’t party.”

You let out a scoff at that, but part of you agreed with him. The one time you went out you get your heat. Only something that terrible would happen to you, but it turned out just fine.

“Oh, (y/n) not to be pushy, but my friend really wants his jacket back,” Jimin said, with an awkward chuckle. “It’s his favorite one.”

“Like an alpha’s jacket?” Jackson asked. Jackson grinned at you and he rolled his eyes. “So, you’re finally interested in someone. Oho this is juicy gossip. Who does the jacket belong to?”

“I don’t know and I don’t really remember much, but he was nice enough to get me away from the party,” you said. “Please drop it Jackson. It’s still in the room I was in during my heat, Jimin.”

“Wait if you’re an omega and Mark’s an alpha does this mean the two of you are going to leave me alone to rot by myself?”

“Probably not,” you replied.

“Man I was really hoping you would finally get some or be motivated to get some,” Jackson said.

“Wow you’re really straight forward,” Jimin commented.

“Oh, this is him on his best behavior unfortunately,” you said. “He knows you need to like him, so that he can try to come over and eat all the food in our dorm.”

“You do like alpha’s though, right?” Jackson asked.

“Well…” you trailed off in thought. Your mind floated back to how Jimin had helped you at the beginning of your heat. “The only thing I know for sure is that omegas are also okay.”

Jimin choked on air as he must have realized what you had been thinking of. Jackson looked between the two of you. Before you could react, Jackson was already lunging at Jimin, pushing him against the wall.

“What the hell did you do to her you—” You hit Jackson over the head cutting him off.

“Nothing I seriously didn’t ask for. Calm down or you’re going to look like even more of an idiot.”

There were already quite a few students staring at the three of you. You pushed Jackson aside and grabbed Jimin’s hand, tugging him along.

“Seriously Jackson, you’re an idiot.”

“Baobei!” he whined.

“Jimin, can you please tell Jackson I’m not going to talk to him until he apologizes to you,” you said, turning to Jimin.

“Sorry Jimin…” Jackson muttered.

Jimin grinned at that.

“It’s amazing how well you trained him.”

“Oh Jackson is nothing, you should see Mark,” you said with a smile.

You guessed that this whole omega thing wouldn’t be that hard. Well not as hard as calculus was anyway.

Hi!! I'm also interested in teaching English in Korea, and I was wondering if I could maybe dm you and ask you about it? It's totally okay if you don't want to! I'm kinda nervous about it and I don't know anyone who has done it before, but I saw your authors note on one of your fics where you said you were moving and stuff. Thanks, lovely!

Always feel free to DM me about. I’d be more than happy to talk about it. It’s a long and sometimes intimidating process because of all the paperwork, but I have found that it was worth it to apply.

[nextcassie]

Hello! I just read the new chapter you posted and figured I’d come check out your tumblr! Your Scent is one of my favorite stories and I can’t wait to see where it goes! Have a good day ☺️

Hello! I’m glad you’re enjoying it so far. I won’t lie my next update will be in quite a while, so please be patient with me!

Late Bloomer (m)

Word Count: 21,041

Warning: Graphic sexual content

Yoongi wolf!AU, aka an excuse for me to write gratuitous smut 

You were, what they called, a late bloomer. You didn’t get your period until you were nearly seventeen-years-old and when all of your classmates were talking about boys and smoking weed after school, you were playing neopets in the back of the classroom. You were always just a few years behind everyone else, but it was never a big deal. In fact, thank god you were spared the half a decade of cramps and soiled underwear that your friends suffered from. You wouldn’t mind if it took you another half decade to get your period, thank you very much.

You’re twenty-two now, a senior in college, and an adult by every sense of the word. You’re graduating in just a few short months, you’ve successfully passed all your classes, and you even have a job lined up for you. You’re a full-grown, mature, adult woman and you have every right to be proud of yourself…

By human standards, that is.

But the thing is… you aren’t exactly human, now are you? The fact that you transform into a wolf every month and run around in the woods naked, howling at the moon isn’t a very human characteristic. You were born and raised a wolf, and a wolf you’ll remain until your dying day…

And in the wolf community, you’re still technically a child who hasn’t hit puberty… Not that you’ll ever tell anybody.

Update for Writing

Hello everyone! Some of you are probably wondering why some of my BTS stuff hasn’t updated. I just want to let you know that I’m currently dedicating all my time to finishing my Harry Potter fanficition. It may seem unfair that I’m not even working on stuff and that you have to wait so long but.... I started that story in my second year of high school and now I’ve graduated college. I’ve been long over due to finish that story. Sorry for the inconvience and I hope I will be updating the other stories soon!

Life Update: Where the Hell Did You Go?

Hello everyone, NextCassie here! some of you may be following me from my various stories. Those of you who read my author’s notes know that after studying in University I applied to teach English abroad in a few different places. One of those places ended up being South Korea. I was fortunately accepted and am now teaching English in Busan South Korea!

 With the move, I’ve been busy trying to get settled into my new life and my new job. It hasn’t been easy, but things have been going smoothly. I just haven’t had a lot of free time that I’ve wanted to spend writing. I’ve been spending most of my free time exploring my new city and what Korea has to offer. I’m also expecting to get busier for a while because I will be starting Korean classes soon and rumor is there is a lot of homework involved.

 I will try to keep updating as often as I can, but I’m still adjusting to everything here. If you have any questions feel free to ask them and I will do my best to answer them, but if it’s anything related to when I will update my stories I probably can’t give you a firm answer.

 I hope you are all doing well and thank you so much for supporting me!

When is chapter 11 of “Your Scent” coming out?

Hello! I’m hoping that it will be out within the next week and a half. I’ve been really busy with my move and getting settled into my new job. I also had to wait for my apartment to get set up with internet which was a long and difficult process. I’m not about to be posting my stuff online using my job’s internet... I also can’t really write in public because I get too distracted by people. Hopefully a new chapter will be coming out soon!

[nextcassie]

I'm back and I have a preview of a special one shot just for Jungkook's birthday since I always seem to give him the short end of the stick in my stories. I will post when I have wifi!

Wendy Making Fun of How White/Black People Talk Ruined Red Velvet for Me

Buckle up because this is going to be a long post… Just stay with me and make sure you realize that this is my opinion and experience.

 Lately I’ve seen a lot of unpopular opinion posts pop up showing support for Wendy and how this wasn’t really a big deal and people were being too sensitive. In light of recent events, mainly German players making fun of Korean soccer players during the world cup, I think it is important to talk about how imitating a different race is problematic. Everyone on the internet instantly rushed to defend South Koreans from these negative stereotypes, but those people failed to run to the defense of both white and black Americans when this happened.

 Let’s get one thing straight though. I don’t hate Wendy and I don’t hate Red Velvet. I actually forgave her after SM issued an apology for her after the first incident. Then she just had to go and do it again and her fans came rushing to her defense, saying things like “It was just a joke?” “Everyone is being too sensitive about it.” “It’s not problematic if it’s true.”.

 Let’s start out with the fact that it’s not true. Not every person sounds exactly the same from a race and not everyone has the same hand gestures from one race. Hand gestures especially tend to be based geographically. So this makes what she did not true and a huge generalization on two different races.

 I can’t speak about how a white woman would feel about Wendy’s actions because I am not white. But I can tell you what I feel as a black woman. It’s a bit of annoyance, disgust, and I feel a bit hurt by all of it.

 The annoyance and disgust comes from the fact that Wendy is a 24 year old woman who has made this mistake before and should know better not to make it a second time. She knew her words hurt some of her fans before and then she repeated the same mistake. Wendy has also lived abroad and met enough foreigners to know that these stereotypes are probably not true. I’m also willing to bet she’s been a victim of being stereotyped as a Korean woman in the United States and Canada. So she really has no excuse as to not knowing better about doing this and not knowing it could hurt someone.

 I feel hurt because of my own personal experience with how I talk. I grew up in a mostly white suburb and have never fit the stereotype that Wendy chose to present of black women. Something that I was reminded of all the time while growing up. Getting told that I don’t speak black enough or that I’m trying to act white for literally just trying to talk. It led to my peers ridiculing me and making fun of me. Eventually, it also led to me having a lot of insecurities about myself and my identity. Basically, because some kids chose to stereotype me it forced me into an almost toxic circle of self-doubt and negativity. Bullying of any type hurts people in some way and having people bully me for how I talk was no exception. I eventually grew up to ignore it, but it’s still something that bothers me. My way to fix it is to actively avoid people who stereotype others. That does include stereotypes of other races and ethnicities not just my own. I just find people who chose to perpetuate stereotypes of other races toxic and problematic.  Even now I get told things like wow your voice is so white or I had no idea you were black because of your voice, and I have to actively take myself away from the situation, so it doesn’t affect me. So it hurts to see someone who should know better perpetuating a stereotype of black women that caused me a lot of pain as child to more people.

 If Wendy was a regular person I would have just avoided her for her behavior. She would seem like just another bully from my childhood that I would roll my eyes at and walk away from. Despite the fact that I like the other Red Velvet members seeing her just puts a knot in my stomach and reminds me of all the kids who used to make fun of me and see it as not a big deal. When people perpetuate stereotypes, you may not see the damage right away, but people absorb that stereotype and then begin to treat others like that stereotype. Although I doubt that was her intention the first time, she did it again. The second time someone makes a mistake like this even if she were to apologize I wouldn’t be able to believe her because I think this must just be how she views me. She thinks I talk and act a certain way because of how I look.

 Just seeing her makes me uncomfortable because of the things she has said and done. Her actions cause me to not want to watch anything she’s on or really support her in her career. By default this also means that I’ve stopped supporting Red Velvet in general. I do recognize that this is because of my personal circumstances. However, my experience is not one that is completely uncommon. There are those out there who probably feel the same way about this as I do.

 I wanted to put this out there because I got a little sick of hearing about how someone blatantly imitating another race isn’t at all problematic or hurtful. At the very least it was problematic enough for me to not be able to support Red Velvet because it feels like I’m supporting my childhood bully.
