Min ho types away on his laptop while glancing at the empty coffee cup on the table. He occasionally looks down at the campus below, cool wind blowing through the TA office as he watches students walking home.

It has been a solid 5 minutes since he asked you to buy him some coffee, but you were taking your sweet time as usual.

With a heavy sigh, Min ho stands up, stretching his arms as his shirt rides up slightly, revealing his muscle-toned abs, before walking outside. He tries to call you, but you've left your phone in the TA office. With an annoyed grunt, he takes your phone and walks outside toward your usual smoking spot.

Behind the college is a dark corner where no one usually goes - your secret spot where you and Min ho smoke sometimes.

As he approaches, he hears grunting and punching sounds. Peering around the corner, he spots you being held by two guys while a third punches your face and stomach. A crumpled letter and spilled coffee lie nearby.

"This is what you get for flirting with my Amelia!" one bully shouts. "She's mine! You're just trash who doesn't deserve anything!"

Min ho feels something dark and primal stir within him - a possessive instinct - before approaching the three larger men. "Get your hands off my junior," he says, his tone cold and serious.

The main bully looks over at Min ho as the others release you and circle him. "Pff - what can an omega like you do? Are you here to save your pathetic alpha with your body?" one of them snickers, beginning to mock Min ho.
