Magnolias

She was trying to focus on her notes, reading through each theory, trying to figure out each equation, going through each solution as guidance so she knew she was doing the right thing. But the questions still remained as she went on. How did they come up with this solution? Why was this formula applicable to the problem? How was she going to solve for x and y? Where the hell did this number come from and why the fuck was it different from what came out of her calculator?

Aeri’s mind was trying to concentrate and absorb everything. However, the sound of small whining made her brow twitch, head tightening with increasing annoyance. A sound that she had been ignoring for the past thirty minutes. 

But because she chose to ignore it, the whining only increased, forcing Aeri to close her eyes shut and let out a sigh and turned her head to the source. 

Aeri couldn’t help but snort. Not this again. “Just get over it.” 

Jimin had her head planted on the table, she was in this position ever since they got to the classroom. Then the alpha threw her head up, face contorted into something hideous for Aeri. “She’s just a baby! How could you!” 

She rolled her eyes. “Yizhuo is an adult, and she can choose whoever she wants to be with,” she said, a bit peeved. But she didn’t take it personally, she knew Jimin was just having a hard time accepting the fact that they lied to her for a very long time. “We already bought you ice cream.” 

“I know,” Jimin responded, voice muffled by her arms as she plopped her head on them. 

Aeri raised a brow. Her best friend seemed to be down for some reason. “Then why do you feel bad?”

Jimin shot up again. “Because—“ she tried to find the words but then she threw her hands up to her face. As if she was embarrassed. “Because seeing you and Yizhuo together made me realize that I wanna confess to Minjeong already. But I don’t know how and I don’t want to mess it up!”

“So, you’re blaming my relationship with Yizhuo as to why you’re incapable of confessing your feelings?”

The alpha shook her head violently. “N-No! That’s not why!” Jimin started flailing her hands around. “I-I don’t know! It’s hard! What if she rejects me? What should I do?!”

She let out an exasperated sigh. “God, you’re a child sometimes.” She then placed her pen down and faced Jimin properly. “We’ve been through this a thousand times, you and Minjeong have something going on, and it’s so painfully obvious that she likes you as well. You’re just too chicken shit to say anything!” 

Jimin then threw her hands to her face, like she had gone mad. “Look—Minjeong is precious and she’s perfect and she needs to be treated perfectly. I can’t mess this up—“

“Why do you keep thinking you’re going to mess up?” she questioned back. 

“Aeri! It’s me!“ Jimin then pointed to herself. “I always mess things  up!”

“Hm… you’re not wrong,” she said but that earned her another whine and Aeri laughed. “Okay, what do you wanna do? And maybe we can think of something. I can ask Yizhuo to help.” 

Jimin paused, then after a good five seconds she slammed her palms onto the table, the sound echoing in the empty room. “That’s right! She could definitely help! Thank god you two are dating.” 

Aeri shook her head. “You’re ridiculous.” 

The other alpha batted her eyes cutely at her. “But you love me.” 

“Sadly,” she grumbled. Then she squared her shoulders.  “Okay, you dumb slut, what’s the plan?”

The plan seemed pretty simple. It was so simple that even a monkey could do it. 

Yizhuo was able to ask Minjeong about her feelings towards Jimin and to no surprise, the omega also had a hard time confessing because she didn’t want to ruin what she had with the alpha. 

But even for a smart woman, Minjeong had no idea that Jimin liked her back. Which was dumb because Jimin did nothing to hide her feelings, even if she claimed that she was being subtle about it. Of course, Aeri knew it wasn’t subtle at all. It was evident that they were either oblivious to the signs or they weren’t capable of understanding each other’s intentions. 

Luckily, her and Yizhuo were their friends, so the two were able to finally do something for them. By forcing Minjeong and Jimin inside the omega’s apartment to talk about their feelings and now allowing them to leave unless the truth was finally out.

Aeri didn’t want to stick around inside Minjeong’s apartment to find out what was going to happen, it was an intimate thing and privacy was a must. But they promised their friends that they would be nearby if things didn’t work out. Which was impossible because they knew it would. 

So, the couple were at the back of Aeri’s new car, parked inside the building, waiting for the two to call either one of them about any updates. 

Yizhuo snuggled close to her, head leaning onto her shoulder as she let out a comfortable sigh. Aeri welcomed it immediately, making sure Yizhuo had enough room for her legs since she plopped it up on the leather seat. 

“How long are we waiting?” the omega asked softly, hand reaching over to hug her stomach. 

“Until one of them comes out crying,” Aeri responded with a light chuckle, sinking into Yizhuo’s embrace. “I know that if it goes good or bad, Jimin will definitely cry.”

The omega giggled, arms hugging Aeri’s waist securely. “Yeah, Jimin unnie is a big cry-baby.” 

She breathed out. “Tell me about it. When we were in high school, she cried for hours when I told her she was my best friend for the first time.”  

“That’s cute,” Yizhuo whispered, then she looked up at Aeri with an adorable smile. “She really loves you. You’re just mean to her most of the time.” 

“It’s my way of showing love,” Aeri said with a shrug. Then she turned to kiss Yizhuo on her forehead. “The way I show my love to you is definitely different.”

Yizhuo smiled widely, her cheeks looking a little more pink than usual. “Why are you so cheesy now?” she asked in a giggle. 

Aeri returned the smile, feeling her chest tickle at the sight of her mate comfortable and making adorable noises. She leaned in, placed a chaste yet full kiss on her lips. “Maybe because I know you love me back,” she whispered, and as a response, Yizhuo kissed her back and it tasted like heaven. “You’re very sweet to me now as well.” 

There were lazy lines being traced on her cheek, brown eyes staring at her so lovingly. “You don’t like it?” Yizhuo asked teasingly, a smirk forming onto her lips. 

“I do,” Aeri responded immediately. “Very much so.” Her body moved without much thought, her hands finding more ways to touch her mate. She wanted to be closer, to have Yizhuo’s weight on her, caressing her in any way her mate pleased. 

Aeri’s heart skipped a beat when Yizhuo grabbed her face and pulled her in for a kiss. The response was immediate; the heat was already present. There was a lingering scent in the air, one that made Aeri’s mouth water and crave for more. She could taste the flowers from Yizhuo’s lips, soft and addicting, a flavor she loved from the beginning. 

The way Yizhuo was kissing her made her restless, getting more heated with each touch of her lips. Their mouths opened and tongues met in a dirty dance. Aeri felt needy, pulling Yizhuo up and the omega quickly straddled her. Hands travel from her face to her neck, eventually to the opening of her shirt, buttons coming loose as they kiss deeper. 

Yizhuo placed her hands inside, roaming through her shoulders so impatiently. Aeri’s hands got busy as well, caressing her thighs, going under the omega’s skirt, quickly reaching for the curve of her ass and squeezing it. 

A moan ripped through Yizhuo’s lips and that got Aeri hard immediately. The omega felt it, hips slowly grinding on her bulge. She was wet already and Aeri wanted to ravish her. 

In a rush, Yizhuo reached down for Aeri’s pants, unbuckled it and fished out her hard cock. Aeri moaned into their kiss, tongues caressing each other, hips jerking up when Yizhuo started to stroke her. She tried to reach for Yizhuo’s hot center, but the omega stopped her by gripping onto her shaft a little tighter, immobilizing her with pleasure. 

Their scents mixed inside the car, suffocating them in intoxicating aromas. Her head was starting to spin, excited at the thought of being inside her mate again. She allowed Yizhuo to service her, hand expertly stroking her, gripping tighter as she reached the tip, making Aeri throw her head back and moaning out. Yizhuo dipped down and kissed her neck, tongue darting out as lips marked her perfectly. Her hand moved faster, like she was in a hurry to unravel Aeri then and there, but Aeri tried to hold on a little longer. She wanted to feel more of Yizhuo’s hand, soft palm stroking her so well. 

She could sense how eager Yizhuo was. The scent of violets only getting stronger, her movements starting to become a little more impatient, moving her hips to chase for contact as she stroked her cock. 

Aeri’s hands reached up, gripping onto Yizhuo’s breasts through her blouse. She reached inside, pulling her bra up and cupping her properly. Thumbs quickly roll onto stiffened nipples, making Yizhuo whimper at the teasing. 

God, she didn’t want to wait anymore. Yizhuo’s scent, her voice, her hand, the smell of her slick was making Aeri want to shove her cock inside of her mate’s cunt again. She couldn’t wait. She—

A loud sound coming from Aeri’s pocket startled them and Yizhuo regretfully pulled away. 

“Baby, that could be Jimin,” she said, panting a bit, hand still stroking her cock languidly

Aeri growled, chasing Yizhuo’s lips. “They can handle it.” Then she kissed her again. 

Yizhuo kissed her back, passionate and sloppy. But she pulled away once more, placing a finger over Aeri’s lips when she tried to lunge forward again. “Baby, it could be bad. I haven’t checked my phone if Minjeong called.”
