Chapter Text
Ari Jang looked like a force to be reckoned with. Her attitude was purely that of a girl who had business elsewhere. She loved fashion, and spent hours every morning making sure that she looked good. She kept her skirts short and her assets displayed; why hide something that you loved? Her dyed and wavy blonde hair went to her lower back, with a streak of peach that rested on the hair that she parted to the side of her forehead with hair pins shaped like animals or cute simple shapes. She wore long coats and heels, making sure that her nails always matched. She and Xiang were great friends, coordinating shopping sprees and outfit plans together and people-watching at cafes that cost way too much for the average college student to afford. Her lavender eyes scanned her surroundings as her hands went into her jacket pockets. Xiang was nowhere to be found. It was the university’s festival and open house week. The school was big enough for it to be a pretty big and hyped-up event, that wasn’t exclusive to students or staff. This was a time where new students could see the campus, as well as students considering attending. Upperclassmen were assigned different jobs dealing with tours and students, and those assigned were usually betas anyway, so she was lucky, for once, as an omega. Ari adjusted one of the hoop earrings she was wearing, clicking her tongue in annoyance as her hair got stuck. She stopped and pulled out her phone, seeing a few missed messages from her “partner in crime” (lame, she rolled her eyes at her own thoughts).
XIANG♡: i cant make it 2day
XIANG♡: ive got a d8
XIANG♡: LOL
XIANG♡: that sounds lame but whatever its the truth sorry nd i dont want u 2 3rd wheel
XIANG♡: luv u sm
The blonde rolled her eyes. It was terribly Xiang-like to make plans at the last second, so she couldn’t stay mad for long. She’d have to find something interesting to look at on her own. Xiang’s new girlfriend had got her thinking about relationships and just how much she wanted to find someone for herself. One night stands through apps were fun, but they’d gotten boring after a while; there was no connection between her and any of the alphas she’d met up with. She’d have to find someone close, who went to the school, which shouldn’t be hard, because she was a delectable three-course meal amongst appetizers. Her and Xiang made sure that they both looked their best and showed off at all times. Both she and Xiang shared an interest in obscure fashion, along with rich parents, so it was easy for them to stand out.
She ended up wandering around, lost in her thoughts, until someone ran into her and knocked her back onto the floor. Looking up, she saw an alpha looking down at her, a curious expression on her face as she put down a rather large… amplifier? She extended a thin and calloused hand, and as soon as Ari took it she was on her feet again. The wiry girl in front of her pulled earbuds out of her ears, which were partially covered by shaggy bright green hair. “Sorry, I didn’t see you. I was caught up in music.” Sharp orange eyes looked down at the omega, who was torn between being nice to a stranger and keeping her cool attitude. Xiang could do it easily, but that was where their differences lied.
“I-It’s alright. I wasn’t exactly looking where I was going, either.” Ari said. Her eyes tried to catch the name on the lanyard that the alpha was wearing.
“I’m Jin. Jin Toyama.” She extended a hand and gave Ari a crooked but very charming smile.
“Ari Jang.” They shook hands, and the blonde could smell peppermint coming off of the alpha.
The alpha was tall and lanky, but also, from the way she easily carried the equipment, wiry and maybe even strong, with bright green dyed hair that went just above her shoulders. It was straight, messy and shaggy, and her dark roots were showing where she’d pulled her bangs up and into a little, almost comedic, pineapple styled bun? ponytail? Ari had never been sure. She was wearing several wristbands and bracelets, each with concert names or festival titles on them, and her clothes fit her body loosely.
“Nice to meet you, Ari.” She liked how Jin’s accent sounded saying her name. “That’s a rockin’ outfit.” She had a strange way of speaking, with sound effects and audible punctuation, but it was intriguing. “I’d chat with you more but I’ve gotta get this moved to theatre hall A. My band’s relying on me for most of the heavy-lifting.” Jin braced herself and lifted the hulking amplifier onto her shoulder. Ah, so she was in a band. “I’ll see you around! Sorry for bumping into you again!” She looked back and flashed another fanged grin, before heading off towards the theatre buildings. She followed her outside, getting caught up with all of the food stands and rowdy groups of younger students. She bought herself some shaved ice and sat down at one of the tables that had been set out, pulling out her phone. Her username of course, was matching with her best friend’s.

Xiang sent her a picture of what was going to be performed during the open house week.
XIANG♡: her band is there somewhere
XIANG♡: the weather forecast
XIANG♡: thats the band
XIANG♡: gotta go gonna finish LOL
She put her phone away after thanking Xiang, finishing her shaved ice and continuing towards more of the attractions put on by students. The band wasn’t performing for another hour or so, so she wasn’t worried about being there right away. She wondered about the name of the band, but if she got closer to Jin, she knew it would come out one way or another. Alphas usually were very intent on displaying achievements, and being in a band with gigs would definitely be one of them. She watched as a group of alphas flipped pieces of meat on a grill, and as a group of practically drooling omegas watched the meat from afar. She was bored already. Festivals and open houses had never been her thing; it was supposed to be her and Xiang together, people watching and making fun of underclassmen. Without her, there was nothing to do. The blonde decided to head to the theatre halls.
There were a couple different bands and groups getting ready, as well as one performing. She didn’t particularly like live music, but maybe she could change her tastes if she was wowed. She found a seat in an empty row near some omegas who she recognized as her classmates, despite not knowing who they were. She never paid attention to her classmates. She saw Jin on the stage, only briefly, as the current performers wrapped up. She was straightening a cable.
Ari hated having to get to know a person she was remotely interested in. It was such a task.
Their show finally started after what felt like forever, and Ari was actually paying attention. Jin had let her hair down, and the way that her bangs covered parts of her face was actually really cool; she was a cool-looking person. It was Ari’s way of telling herself that she definitely didn’t think the girl was hot, but she was getting there. She realized that the theatre had gotten packed, and people were cheering and buzzing along with songs that she’d never heard before. Jin looked like she belonged on stage; her voice was powerful and she played her guitar well. That instrument had to have been expensive, too. The blonde had an eye for things that cost money, and that instrument was definitely on the high-end. She played it expertly. Ari was judging her as if she had any sort of experience playing instruments, which she didn’t, but there was little else for her mind to do besides judge someone, because she didn’t want to focus on how attractive Jin was underneath stage lighting. She started playing a solo with her thin fingers, and it was beautiful. This was also when Ari realized that Jin had a tongue piercing. Her mind wandered to rather indecent places, and as she quietly cleared her throat, the band prepared for their third song.
“Everyone! Thank you for coming to our little show!” Jin pushed her hair back and then shook it out. “We could only present a couple of songs, but this has been fun!” The audience was excited, and a couple groups of omegas were cheering and clapping. Jin gave one final countdown and kicked off into the song. Ari couldn’t pay attention to the lyrics; it was strange to her how she’d never really enjoyed music like this before.
After the show was finished, she opened her phone to messages from Xiang.
XIANG♡: shes fluent in 3 languages u kno

XIANG♡: u been complaining to me abt not having anybody u shld at least try and put urself out there
XIANG♡: invite her drinking ur so fun when ur drunk lol
ARI♡: ur crazy
Xiang was right. Drinking was something she enjoyed. She didn’t really know if she wanted to get drunk with someone who was basically a complete stranger. She put it in the back of her mind and let the idea sit. She had to get herself backstage before she even thought about saying anything. She wasn’t exactly familiar with the theatre buildings, and ended up having to ask one of the shy and sheepish techies where the backstage entrance was. The tiny omega stuttered and blushed at her as she led her backstage. She saw Jin cleaning off her guitar, and when their eyes met, the green-haired alpha’s face lit up.
“You’re that girl I bumped into earlier! Ari, right?” She stood up and set her guitar down in its case, running the cloth over it one last time before shutting and zipping the case.
“Yeah. I…” Ari cleared her throat nervously. “Good show. I usually don’t listen to music like that, but you had me hooked.”
“Ah, really? I’m glad, I’m glad. We had a lot of fun performing. Such a good crowd, even if it was mostly students.” Jin laughed, orange eyes shining as she smiled. “It’s always fun to get moving on stage. It gets the blood pumping.”
“Yeah. You looked good up there, too.” The blonde felt herself blush, and she shoved her hands in her jacket pockets as she watched the alpha reciprocate the flush.
“Aha, thanks… I try my hardest to be rockin’ at all times.” The taller girl smiled and pulled her hair back up into the charming little ponytail. “What made you wanna come back here?”
“I was wondering if you wanted to maybe… I dunno… come back to my apartment and drink with me?” She wanted to kick herself in the face. Inviting an alpha into her apartment, let alone an alpha she barely knew, to drink seemed like an incredibly risky move.
“Oh. Sure, I’d love to.” Jin smiled at her. They were adults and could drink maturely, most definitely. “I hope you don’t mind, but sometimes, I’m a horny drunk.” There was a glint of something mischievous and dominant in her eye.
Ari raised her eyebrows. “Don’t push your luck, alpha.” But there was a small smirk on her face. She wouldn’t exactly mind if something happened that night. “We should head to the convenience store and pick things up. The vending machine beer sucks.”
“Ahhh, but I like the vending machine stuff!” The taller girl waved goodbye to her band, who all smirked and cheered quietly at her as they packed up. As she turned, the blonde whipped her hair dramatically, her heels noisy against the wood of the stage steps. Jin followed after her like a happy puppy, her guitar case bouncing gently against her back.
They ended up on Ari’s couch, both slightly drunk as they tried to find a movie to watch. The blonde had let her body fall comfortably to lean on Jin’s, her warmth was calming to the omega, who was clinging to her. Jin’s face was already flushed from the alcohol, but the omega’s scent wasn’t helping. She’d taken her jacket off, and was only in her short skirt and t-shirt. It was a low-cut shirt, and despite trying not to look directly at her cleavage, the green-haired girl found it hard to not look… well… directly at her cleavage. “Mm…” She grumbled, her brow furrowing as she found herself indecisive on what to do. “Ari…” The blonde looked up at her, and then their lips smashed together. The omega’s tongue licked at her lips, before rolling over her fangs and gums. It could have been the buzz, but the kiss felt insanely good. Jin shoved her tongue into Ari’s throat, pushing her body down and pinning her against the couch. Ari’s arms had wrapped around her neck, hands clawing at her shoulders through her shirt. She ran her fingers up and through the… ooh, an undercut? She gasped into Jin’s mouth, and their eyes met only for a moment before they both shut them again. The alpha’s sharp scent was making Ari’s thoughts swim restlessly in her head. The singer’s body ground against her own, and she could feel the alpha’s arousal through her jeans.
“You’re-“
“Just keep kissing me…” Jin kissed every part of her face, making sure to cover every inch of skin with licking kisses and small nibbles. “Your smell’s insanely rock and roll…” The alpha bit her lip as she took a long inhale from the crook of Ari’s neck. “It’s… intoxicating…” Her voice drifted off, and the blonde looked up in confusion when Jin fell onto her, snoring softly, her head buried in the omega’s neck. Her weight was comforting, but Ari didn’t want to face the embarrassment of waking up like that the next morning, so she wrangled herself from underneath the alpha and left to get herself ready for bed after tossing a blanket over the passed out guitarist on her couch.
As she relaxed under her sheets, she pondered where to go from there.
ARI♡: im killing u
XIANG♡: girl what
ARI♡: i didnt get a chance to be a funny drunk!!!!!!
ARI♡: we made out for what had to be at least 30 minutes and then she passed out!!!!!!!!
XIANG♡: LOLOL
XIANG♡: thats rly sad im sorry that happened to u
XIANG♡: its rly funny tho
ARI♡: my embarrassment is funny to u? :(
XIANG♡: yes
She got a call from Xiang; they called often during the evenings.
“Can she hear us? Is she still there?” Xiang was obviously trying to hold back laughter.
“No. She’s here but she’s passed out. I don’t think she’ll be up until the morning.”
Xiang started laughing loudly, before another voice on the other end murmured something. “Sorry, sorry…” Her voice was different around Ji-Yoon, and Ari knew that Xiang was crazy about her because of it. “Ji-Yoon’s trying to sleep, I’m moving to the kitchen, hold on.” There was shuffling on the other end of the phone, and she heard Xiang set her phone on the counter. “You’re on speaker, but Ji-Yoon’s probably asleep already, so I wouldn’t worry. Did you find out anything about her?”
“Only that she likes the vending machine beer and that her tongue has a piercing in it that can make someone insane.” Ari ran her fingers through her hair, sighing.
“Wahh, a tongue piercing…” Xiang trailed off. “Athletes can’t have those.” She sounded almost jealous. It was Ari’s turn to laugh, and her friend made a whining noise on the other side of the phone. “I’m jealous. When you fuck her, tell me how it feels, hm?”
“Yeah, I’ll be sure to tell you all of the details…” The blonde chuckled. “What makes you so sure that we’re gonna get that far, though?”
“Mm, I just know.” Xiang’s answers were typical of her, and Ari knew that she’d never catch a break with her. “You two have good compatibility.”
“Hmm? I don’t know how you’d come up with that.”
“It doesn’t matter. I just know.” The pink-haired omega was audibly smiling on the other end of the phone. “I’m gonna go bother Ji-Yoon. I’ll talk to you later.”
“Yeah…” She set her phone down on her nightstand. It would have been hard for the blonde to sleep, due to all of her thoughts, but the alcohol certainly helped, and she was out like a light in a matter of minutes.
She woke up to silence, but moving towards her living room filled her ears with soft guitar. God, could Jin be any less dreamy? Ari wondered what the limit was to someone being attractive to her.
“Ah, good morning.” The green-haired girl smiled at her with a smile that she was beginning to treasure a little bit too much. “I wanted to ask you if I could use your shower… I smell like alcohol and I don’t exactly want to go back to my building like that.”
“Sure.” She would have offered the alpha clothes if they weren’t so differently sized.
“I promise that I’ll be out of your hair after.” Jin set her guitar back in its case and zipped it up, before disappearing into the blonde’s bathroom. Shutting the door behind her and leaving the apartment in silence again. Ari went to make herself breakfast, and soon enough, she heard Jin singing in the shower. She wanted to spend more time with her, but she had no idea how to ask. She wondered about the schedule of the band, too. As she finished her waffles and sat down to eat, Jin came out of the shower, clothed in only a towel as she ran across the apartment to grab something that she had apparently forgotten. When she came back out, she was clothed, her green hair pulled back into a ponytail that revealed her undercut and her ears, which had piercings from the shell of her ear to her lobe. “Thank you.”
“And thank you for your performance in the shower.” Ari laughed, holding her mug up to her lips and sipping from her coffee. Jin blushed at her, before scrambling to pull her phone out from her jeans. The pair exchanged contact information, and after a wave goodbye and her signature smile, Jin was gone.
XIANG♡: u think u like her?
XIANG♡: u better
ARI♡: i mean we havent talked much but shes dreamy yea
The blonde omega puttered around in the bathroom, the heavy scent of peppermint lingering after the alpha’s shower. She grabbed the towel that Jin had used and hesitated, the primal omega in her stirring restlessly.
ARI♡: she took a shower here
XIANG♡: ooohh did u get to c her naked????!!!!!!!!
ARI♡: ofc not
XIANG♡: not yet
XIANG♡: omg ik u so well ik ur not taking her towel rn
Ari sighed and bit her lip, embarrassment flooding her cheeks even though she was alone in her own home. She couldn’t. There would be too much guilt. Preparing for her midday classes became her new priority, but the arousal nestled in the pit of her stomach made itself quite comfortable.
It was during one of her fashion classes that a tall and lanky omega approached her. She had to be almost as tall as Jin, built like her too, and Ari recognized her from her band. She had choppy black hair that covered one of her bright red eyes. Her eyelashes were long enough for Ari to notice; they were a pretty accent to her face.
“Hey. You’re Ari, right?” She towered a few inches above her, her body behind her almost all of a sudden. She was wearing all black, and her jeans were ripped like she’d fallen and worn them out over years of wear.
“Yeah. You’re in her band, right?” The blonde looked at her, and she nodded.
“I’m Rinko. Jin and I were friends in high school in Japan.”
“Ah, mixed-dynamic schools… I forgot about those.” Ari’s family was way more than wealthy enough to send her to whatever private omega-only high school that she tested into.
“I came to you because I’d seen you in class and now that Jin’s talking to you, it gives me an excuse. I’m in heat, and you’re my type. Get what I’m putting down?” She smirked and pulled her hair behind her ears; seeing both of her eyes revealed an eyebrow piercing in her formerly hidden brow.
Ari blinked; she’d never slept with another omega before. It wasn’t something she was opposed to, either. Her arousal had been bothering her since when she’d woken up in the morning and caught the scent of the alpha that had passed out in her apartment the night before. “That’s it?”
“Yeah. I’d have asked you earlier in the semester but you don’t look like the type to sleep with someone and then never see them again, no offense.” Rinko laughed softly. Ari had actually had numerous one-night stands, but she wouldn’t mention those. “Besides, I need to make sure you and Jin are sexually compatible.” She winked and stretched. “I’m kidding.” She realized that Ari had gotten confused. “Our band is a pack, and we help each other out with our cycles. I could go as far as to say that we all share a ‘friends with benefits’ relationship.”
“I see.” Ari didn’t know how to reply, but she was intrigued nonetheless. “We could get out of here.” She murmured, and Rinko’s face lit up. The lesson was boring, and Ari didn’t need very many credits in the arts anyway.
Her judgement couldn’t have been better, apparently, because the pleasure rolling through her body in waves of zeal was just what she needed. Rinko had shown her to her apartment, and her face was buried in between her thighs, tongue lapping eagerly at her core. Ari’s fingers tangled in the other omega’s thick black hair, pushing her tongue deeper as she moaned hotly into the cool air of the apartment. “Hey,” Rinko pushed her head up, licking her lips as her scarlet eyes met lavender, “think of her, not me. You've obviously got the hots for her, so think of her.” The blonde let herself relax, shutting her eyes and letting her fantasies run wild. “Ohh, you just got really tight…” Rinko dove back in and hooked her arms around Ari’s thighs as she pressed her tongue against the blonde’s clit, wrapping her lips around it and tugging gently until Ari was gasping, her hips bucking with need and overstimulation as Rinko’s fingers eased into her and immediately found her g-spot. She was scratching an itch that Ari barely knew existed; the constant stimulation was driving her up the wall. “God, I could be down there forever…”
“Ahh~, hah…” Ari felt herself smiling as she panted, but she was too close to unraveling to let Rinko go.
“I’m gonna make you cum, though, and I’m gonna do it in a way so that I can watch every little twitch in your body.” The dark-haired girl smirked wildly, leaning over her and reaching into her bedside drawer; she pulled a bright red strap-on from her drawer and pulled her jeans off, slipping it on over her shorts and slipping a condom over it.
“Mmn…~” Ari could only watch, her mind reduced to mush.
“We can do it in whatever position you like. It’s gonna get me off no matter what.” The lust in Rinko’s voice was thick like molasses or honey, and as Ari turned onto her stomach and raised her hips, the red-eyed omega smiled, thin fingers roving over her flushed skin. “I’m not gonna take it easy on you…~”
“Don’t worry about it…” That was all that the omega was waiting on, and when she pushed in she sighed, before her hips were rocking roughly into Ari’s. “Mm..!”
“Ohh, fuck…” Rinko’s hands wrapped around her hips, and as Ari pushed herself up onto her knees, she turned her head to moan into the dark-haired girl’s neck. “A-Ah… you’re so sexy…” Ari felt her swallow, and her breasts shifted against the blonde’s back. It was new to have another omega pressed up against her like this, but it was more exciting than most other things that she could have been doing. Rinko’s hands traced shapes into her body, before cupping her breasts and shoving her mouth against Ari’s. Rinko’s kisses were deep and hot, and the two of them only broke to gasp and moan against each other’s mouths. “Are you pretending that I’m her?” She broke the kiss and pressed her lips against Ari’s ear. The blonde only mewled in response, her body trembling. The dark-haired omega’s thumb pressed against the blonde’s clit, relishing in the amount of slick that had started pooling in between Ari’s legs.
“Fuck..~ Ahhahh… I’m gonna…” Ari’s breaths grew excited, her hands clamping down on Rinko’s forearms as her toes curled, her mind failing to think of anything other than her orgasm, and she rolled over the edge with a string of gasps and shudders. Rinko’s moans came at a higher frequency, her voice shaking as it went up an octave. She came soon after, her body collapsing against the blonde omega’s as she groaned, the strap-on buried in her folds. As her breaths heaved, she adjusted herself, her body still draped over Ari’s. “I needed that… hoooly shit…” Ari breathed, letting herself calm down.
“I’m glad I could… help…” Rinko rolled off of her and onto her side, taking the harness off slowly and discarding it to the floor.
A familiar voice called out to Rinko enthusiastically, and the door to the bedroom slid open. Jin stood in the doorway, and as her eyes landed on Ari’s body, her expression froze, and she made a noise that Ari wouldn’t have been able to replicate ever. It was between a squeak and a growl. She took on a tone that was only slightly uncomfortable and started speaking to Rinko in Japanese. The blonde took the moment to cover herself up; she’d been embarrassed multiple times that day, and she wasn’t going to waste her time embarrassing herself over a language that she had never studied.
“Rinko! You’re such a glutton! You had sex with her!? What did I tell you?!”
“Ahh, you’re jealous, I can smell it.” Rinko was smirking as she slipped her shirt back over her shoulders. “You’ll get your turn, alpha. You just need to be patient.” Ari recognized only the word ‘alpha’; oh, how she wished that she could eavesdrop. She hadn’t taken any language classes, and maybe she should’ve. Jin was visibly flustered now. “Did I hit it right on the mark? You’re jealous? You and her have such compatibility, too. You know she likes it from behind?”
“Sh-Shut your mouth..!” Jin stuttered something out as she put a hand over her mouth out of embarrassment. The guitarist switched back to Korean. “I’m waiting outside!”
“How did she..?” Ari had gotten her clothes back on by now, and Rinko looked up at her from her keyboard.
“She has a key to my apartment. I know it’s against the rules, but I trust you won’t tell anyone.” She pulled the girl’s blonde hair behind her ears and kissed her on the forehead. “I hope you join the pack.”
It was painfully awkward in the apartment for Ari, so she beelined directly back to her own and called in sick to the rest of her classes. She’d been embarrassed enough for the next month, let alone the day. Thankfully, Xiang showed up a couple of hours later, full bags of convenience store food in her hands.
“She walked in on you with your whole pussy out? And you’d just been fucked?” Xiang was holding back laughter, her legs crossed in a typical diva-like and very ‘Xiang’ manner. “Also, how was it? With another omega… I’ve never thought about it too much… but they’re probably good subs. It only comes naturally, right?” She laughed.
“It was… nice to be with someone who knew where the good spots were on my body. I’m not saying that I’ve never had an alpha who knows what she’s doing, but it helps.” Ari paused. “She was definitely, absolutely, not a sub, either.”
“When she saw you, do you think she got horny too?” Xiang smirked.
“Her and Rinko were talking in Japanese. I didn’t catch any of it. She did end up flustered, though.”
The pinkette shoved at her knee playfully. “I think she’s into you…”
“Ahh, but it’s only been a day or so…” Ari was hesitant to wonder about any type of real feelings that she had. She’d never been one to get into deep relationships.
“It’s college. Take your chances. I don’t think I’ve seen you date someone at the school since we’ve started.” Xiang took a sip of the red wine that she’d brought over. “Have fun.” Ari smiled. “You’ve gotta humor me here, though… What do you think she’s into? Something hot and cool like bondage? Breathplay?” She could see excitement in Xiang’s deep blue eyes. “Maybe something tamer? Like dom and sub?” She looked like she was thinking of other kinks. “I know that Iseul’s alpha is into biting… What if she’s into something like breeding or knotting, hmm? What would you do?” Her tone made Ari think that if Ji-Yoon was into any of those things, she wouldn’t object. “Ji-Yoon’s into subbing, so it works out for us. I’ve made her sub so many times though, maybe she’ll get tired of it. I hope that she does and goes feral… Ahh, that’d be so hot if she bent me over and showed me just how rough that alpha body of hers could be…” Xiang blushed, but shook her head and returned to the topic at hand. “Do you think Jin’s into something like that?”
“I dunno. I kind of like her for her right now. I haven’t really thought of anything that she could be into. She was a good kisser. I thought about that a lot this morning. I want to get to know her a little bit. Also, you’re into that feral stuff? It’s scary to me. In every class about health they tell us how dangerous it is for omegas to be around a feral alpha.”
“You’re no fun. I think it’d be extremely hot to be ravished by an alpha.” Xiang was beaming playfully at her. The blonde and the pinkette talked for the next few hours, about everything from sex to the latest trends in their fashion classes, but Xiang stopped pointing eagerly at a photo of a pantsuit in a magazine when she realized that Ari was looking at her phone. “What’s so important that you had to turn away from my explanation about this pantsuit being too rigid?” She nosily leaned in and let prying eyes look at her best friend’s phone screen.
“Jin’s messaging me.” Ari let Xiang look. “She’s talking to me about the open house, and what her band played.”
“Ah! Look, look! She said ‘I wish you could have seen it, we were so rockin’!’, she misses you!” The pink-haired girl pointed to a message. “That must mean that she looked for you in the audience!”
“You think so?” The blonde looked at her with a quizzical purple gaze.
“Flirt with her, c’mon , you’re so boring right now with your ‘I need to get to know her’ and then you can’t tell when she’s flirting with you?” The pink-haired omega stamped her foot on the floor like a three year-old throwing a fit. She’d had a bit too much wine already.
“What should I say?” Scoring horny alphas on an app was way easier than forming a lasting relationship with someone she actually cared for, and the reality of that thought scared Ari a little bit more than she would have liked to admit.
“Say like…” Xiang scrunched her face up in thought and tapped her chin. “Say ‘I wish I was there too, but I wouldn’t want to distract you from your performance’ or something… I think that line sucks but whatever.” She laughed. “Wahh, I didn’t think you’d actually send the message right after I said it! And word for word, too!”
“Was that bad?!” Ari straightened and looked Xiang squarely in the face; her expression quickly mimicked the blonde’s panicked one, only with more confusion, before she laughed loudly.
“I don’t think so, no.” She held up her own phone, the fashion magazine discarded lazily to the living room floor. “See, all of my flirting with Ji-Yoon is like that too.” She scrolled through her messages, but she was scrolling too fast for Ari to actually read anything. She did, however, see several nudes from the both of them. “Umm…” Xiang blushed a little bit and bit her lip before putting her phone back into her purse. “You get the point.” Ari didn’t, really, but she nodded anyway. “You’ve gotta keep flirting with her to keep her interested. Me and Ji-Yoon don’t need to because we’re so in love, but you haven’t been on a date with her yet. You need to ask her out. Maybe she’ll ask you out, though. If it comes down to it, don’t wait around.”
