    Summary

    Jeon Wonwoo is the new, fresh-faced physics teacher at Pointe Pledis Academy, a private school for the rich and the elite. He also happens to be an omega—a rarity, as most males present alpha or beta. Not that anyone will ever find out. As far as anyone knows, he is a beta.

    He expects his first year of teaching to consist of hours of lesson planning, never-ending piles of assignments to mark, and attitude from entitled students and parents alike. What he does not expect is Kim Mingyu: alpha, irresistable, and seventeen. Wonwoo finds himself drawn into Mingyu's orbit and unable to break free of the alpha's charms. There's a joke about escape velocity somewhere here, but Wonwoo is too busy sneaking around with his student to formulate one.

    Summary

    The end of exams brings about the reveal of student voted superlatives on the uni's unofficial gossip Twitter account and Soobin discovers that he and Yeonjun won Cutest Couple. The only problem is they aren't *actually* a couple, just childhood besties who grew up together in their little beach town. So what if Yeonjun is extra snuggly with him and Soobin thinks his hyung smells really good? They're *just* friends and he's grown tired of people mistaking them for something more.

    Then Yeonjun makes a radical proposal: the two of them date, *really* date, if for no other reason than the ability to tell people they tried and it didn't work. Soobin goes along, deciding it can't be any more annoying than dealing with all the comments they get (not to mention he's admittedly been single for a while and it would be nice to have a partner again, even briefly).

    Cue the magic of summer and all it entails: fireworks in the sky and behind his eyes when he kisses Yeonjun, waves of the ocean and of pleasure as they cross lines friends shouldn't cross. There's bonfires and barbecues, short shorts and popsicles, and along the way Soobin realizes that mixing love and friendship is as dangerous as diving during high tide...

    Falling for Soobin had always been inevitable.

    (or, Yeonjun is a single omega parent, and Soobin is the new alpha neighbor)

    Summary

    “I believe in nothingness in the most peculiar way, I think. In the most terribly eerie way. It’s nihilism, I suppose, in the sense that I believe there’s nothing out there for me; hasn’t been. It wasn’t there when I was brought into the world by people who recoil at the mere sight of me, and there won’t be anything at the very end of my life. Miserable. I am miserable. Every little thing about me, hyung, is miserable.” Beomgyu takes in a deep breath. “Nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing,” he’s never cried this hard, sobs wrecking every part of his body, every cell in his being, every bone that makes up the shallow, empty casket of what he is. “Why am I nothing, hyung?”

    “Beomgyu,” Yeonjun’s voice is soft. It trembles — sweet little voice, how much Beomgyu dreams of it, loves it, drinks it in.

    “No,” he wails, “why am I nothing? Why — I don’t know why, please tell me, why am I not worthy of this world, of you, of Soobin? Why didn’t they love me? I did nothing and I am nothing. I— am I too ambitious, hyung?”

    Summary

    "Mingyu. You can call me Mingyu."

    "I didn't ask for your name."

    Mingyu kisses his cheek and stays there for a few seconds ㅡ three seconds to be exact, before he says, "It's just so you can have a name to moan when I kiss you later."

     

    -

    or an au where Mingyu paid Wonwoo fifteen bucks for a kiss.
