IT WASN’T like it was Cho Euntak’s first ti in a bar.
But it was his first ti going in one alone, so he was nervous.
Thankfully, the vibe there was pretty chill.
It was just like a regular bar, except the guests were all Alphas.
Alphas looking for fellow Alphas to hook up with, to be precise.
"Is it your first ti here, sir?"
The friendly bartender asked the harmless question.
"Yes, it’s my first ti here," Cho Euntak said shyly. "Is it too obvious?"
The bartender chuckled, and then he nodded.
"Aside from the fact that you’re a new face, you also look very nervous."
Oh.
Cho Euntak’s face turned red, a bit embarrassed.
He didn’t know what else to say, so he just smiled.
"Kid, you look like a nice person, so let give you a friendly piece of advice," the bartender said in a low voice as if he didn’t want other people to hear what he was about to say. "You’re exactly the type of most Alphas here— innocent, looks obedient. This may sound harsh, but you’re an Alpha who can easily pass off as an Oga. And most Alphas here like that. Did I offend you?"
"No, not at all," Cho Euntak said while shaking his head. "I’ve always known that I don’t look like an Alpha."
He was a late bloor.
Hence, he lived his life as a Beta.
Even after he awakened as a Recessive Alpha, he still lived his life the way he knew.
I an, nothing much has changed in .
"Thank you for being understanding," the bartender said kindly. "Most Alphas don’t like it when people say they can pass off as an Oga."
"I don’t see it as an insult," Cho Euntak said. "Being an Oga isn’t easy, and I know an Oga who’s an amazing person."
It was none other than Park Sohee, of course.
Sohee Hyung is a kind and strong Oga.
"You don’t only look nice— you really seem like a good person, too."
It wasn’t the bartender who spoke this ti.
In fact, the bartender excused himself after the person sitting next to Cho Euntak spoke to him.
Now I’m nervous.
But since the bartender didn’t warn him about the guy, then maybe the stranger wasn’t a dangerous person?
I can do this.
"Thank you for saying that about Ogas."
"Huh?"
The stranger smiled. "I have a younger brother who’s an Oga. He’s often looked down by the Alphas around him. And most of the Alphas around are jerks who look down on Ogas. So, it’s refreshing to hear an Alpha genuinely being kind towards Ogas."
Cho Euntak realized that he began to relax while listening to the stranger talk.
He has a soothing voice.
And now that he was looking at the guy closer...
Oh, he’s handso.
Cho Euntak also thought the guy slled nice.
"I’m Jung Heesung," the stranger said, extending his hand to Cho Euntak. "I’m 22 years old. Please tell you’re not a minor."
"I wouldn’t be able to get in this bar if I were a minor," Cho Euntak assured the man while accepting his handshake. "I’m Cho Euntak, and I’m 20 years old."
"Are you in school? Working?"
"I’m a college freshman at Yonhee University."
Jung Heesung’s face bead, and it looked like he didn’t want to let go of Cho Euntak’s hand after he did. "I also go to Yonhee University. I’m in the Film Departnt."
"I’m in the Webtoon Departnt, Sunbae-nim."
"Hey, no need to be formal. You can just call ’hyung.’"
"Ah, sure, Hyung-nim."
Jung Heesung laughed softly. "Do you want to get out of here and talk sowhere else?"
Cho Euntak let out a soft gasp.
Yes, he wasn’t experienced in the dating departnt.
But that didn’t an he was that clueless.
I didn’t expect to et soone nice imdiately, so now I’m panicking.
"Hyung-nim, I know that most people co to this place for a hook-up. So, I understand if you think I’m also here for the sa reason," Cho Euntak said shyly, his cheeks burning from embarrassnt. "But I’ve never been with anyone else. I-I’m not yet ready for sex. I-If possible, I want to try to get to know the other person first..."
Jung Heesung blinked slowly as if he were trying to absorb what Cho Euntak was trying to say.
I guess I need to be more direct?
And, so, he did.
"Please ask out on a date first before you try getting into my pants."
Cho Euntak was too embarrassed to look at Jung Heesung, so he shut his eyes tight.
Then, after a few seconds...
"Pwuhaha!"
Huh?
Jung Heesung suddenly burst out laughing. "Euntak-ah, you’re so cute."
Really?
Cho Euntak opened his eyes, still feeling on guard. "Thank you, but I’m still not sleeping with you tonight, Hyung-nim."
Jung Heesung laughed again. "Is exchanging contact numbers be alright then?"
"Yes, I can totally do that."
"Then how about talking over a cup of coffee?" Jung Heesung asked, smiling charmingly at Cho Euntak. "I’m not going to ask you to sleep with , Euntak-ah." He paused for a mont. "Not yet, at least."
’Not yet.’
So, it ans this hyung is interested in in that way.
Cho Euntak blushed when the realization hit him.
Ah, other people find attractive, huh?
***
"CHO EUNTAK, are you close to Jung Heesung?"
What?
Cho Euntak knitted his eyebrows after hearing Jung Heesung’s na from Baek Jeho. "I wouldn’t say we’re close, but Heesung Hyung-nim is a good sunbae to ," he said, looking at Baek Jeho suspiciously. "How did you know him?"
"Because I keep seeing you hanging out with that sunbae," Baek Jeho said, frowning. "Cho Euntak, that person is dangerous."
"Excuse ?"
"I heard from the other sunbaes that Jung Heesung is a fuck boy who likes toying around with virgins."
Haaah.
"Baek Jeho, watch your mouth."
"No, you better listen to , Cho Euntak," Baek Jeho said sternly. "Stay away from that sunbae."
Cho Euntak clenched his hands tight. "I won’t stay away from Heesung Hyung-nim because I want to date him."
"WHAT?!"
