⊙ dining hall

@[H] β☣park chanyeol /blinks a couple of times when I hear someone yelling out for "someone with the ramen"; looks around to see if anyone else had ramen before looking for where the voice, eventually spotting you and your waving arm/
/smiles a little bit, deciding to go ahead and do my best to be as friendly as I can and offer information to you/
/I give a thumbs up, smiling a little wider to show that it's fairly good before proving my point just that much more by taking my sticks and taking a bite of the noodles mixed with veggies and beef/
/I feel a little awkward soon afterwards, not quite used to being so friendly so quickly, so my eyes drop towards the table, ears burning lightly as I focus more or less on my ramen while coming up with lines of conversation if you drew out your kindness and we spoke more than just with hand signs/

@[H] Ω☪jung jaewon *with a creeper smile on my face I make my way inside the dining hall, half expecting not to meet anyone there*
I'm so hungry...
*groans with annoyance at being hungry, looking around to see if anyone made the food look worth a while*
Hmm...what should be good?
*locks eyes with you happily eating your ramen and immediately decides on that, never having been one to believe in menus I always have a habit on choosing food based on those around me*
Hey! Is that good?
*yells over at you from where I make line to get my food*
You with the ramen
*waves my arms around trying to get your attention before the lunch lady kicks me out the line*

@[H] β☣park chanyeol /a gentle sigh leaves my lips as I sift through my way too messy locker, trying to find a few things that I think I'll be needing for the next class before I end up giving up and shutting the door/
/wrinkling my nose, I rub at my temple with the heel of my hand, carefully making my way to the dining hall to grab myself something small to eat, since I didn't really eat this morning/
/my lips are a lightly pursed due to how boring and lonely of a day it's been - the few people I know have been busy or traveling, so it was now up to me to make new friends to keep myself company, though it proved a little harder than I had originally anticipated/
/luckily the bowl of ramen that I purchased for myself to slurp away at, would never consider leaving me alone too long/

@β☣song mino he hummed, nodding as he chose to agree with the latter about this matter. having a full plate of meat could never be considered bad. however, it was completely different when there wasn't only one kind of meat there. jackson remembered clearly this one dinner when there was chicken, lamb, cow and big there and oh m god, he was throwing up further than his sight could reach.
"hm, no, not really. i don't know who i want to be in the future yet. maybe teacher or a doctor, i'm not sure yet. but nothing with sport. sport isn't something omegas should do professionally. there are too many alphas in sport and sadly there is no way to divine all of us in different groups depending on our statuses", he said freely, finding it extremely easy to talk with the latter. jackson used to his obviously not typical omegas features, so he didn't really mind confessing his status aloud. because it wasn't like the other man couldn't smell omega's scent coming from him. the blonde didn't even bother himself with hiding it.
"haha, you indeed look like the type who enjoys partying", he made a remark, grinning widely at his companion. "any favourite clubs? maybe we visit the same club. not gonna lie, i don't like spending too much time in my dorm, being lazy", he said, slowly finishing his meal. taking the glass of water in his hand, he took a sip of it.
"i trained taekwondo for like... a year? i'm not sure. but i gave it up. not really my kind of sport. but this chopsticks", he lifted them up for a short moment, before he used them to pick a slice of carrot and eat it. "they must have some kind of technical flaw. i just wanted to separate them and it happened."

@jackson wang "Chicken only... It's not bad for once..."
The nurse was not talking like a professionnal but he wasn't in his office and he was as weak as any other when facing crual choices of diet. He looked at the other's plate and could fairly imagine Jackson wanted that chicken meal back anytime. He chuckled some and raised a brow as he learnt about the other's hobbies.
His eyes widened as getting to training everyday was not what he was good at: "You do look like you take care of your body... Do you want to work in some sportive field or you just like to run?"
Mino was still indecisive as to what type the other wolf was but he found it intersting how he behaved.
"My favorite time is at dusk... But I do enjoy the night parties" he said, and realized he never spoke of such things with anyone.
"Are you some kind of a fighter to break things so easily? Have you tried yoga or martial arts?"

@β☣song mino "maybe sometimes it's like you said. but there was this one time when i came here late and they didn't even notice there was no rice, potato, other vegetables or whatever you can add to meat. so i had a whole plate of chicken legs. yet, i'm not sure if it's something bad", he hummed, squinting his eyes for a moment. jackson looked like he was seriously thinking for this one or two seconds. because a whole plate of meat couldn't be bad. yet, he liked to have other kind of food in his close distance. he might love meat, but he also cherished vegetables, sometimes prefering more.
"i get up earlier too!", he admitted, maybe a little too enthusiastically. his eyes were slightly widen, but they quickly got back to their usual shape as his mouth was closed by a piece of chicken . "but not to get my breakfast before the others. i really enjoy morning runs."
obviously, jackson was the type of active werewolf. what didn't really suit a typical image of omega. he didn't look like omega at all, neither he was behaving like one. only his scent and an occasional surge of cuteness were giving him away.
"but wouldn't you want to sleep longer? and go to sleep later? night time is so much more interesting than day time", he hummed, picking up another piece of food. his mouth was empty so he didn't know why he should spend more time on talking when his stomach was craving more. "huh? no, thanks. i'm fine with those", he said, lifting his chopsticks up for a short moment. "wooden chopsticks are the most comfortable for me. even if they're broken."

@kim jongdae Taemin quickly walked through the dining hall weaving his way through other wolves and teachers. He bumped into a teacher that was supposed to be watching other students and when he turned to apologize he ended up walking into another person. He ended up dropping the books he was holding but along with the teacher, it was quickly forgotten as Taemin spun around and looked to the male with wide eyes. "Oh I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking." He gave a soft chuckle as he bowed slightly to the other. "It won't happen again, I was in a rush," As if on cue the omegas stomach growled which caused a small blush to be placed on his cheeks. He cleared his throat awkwardly before glancing to the lunch line. "I need to go, I'll see you around?" Taemin gave a small smile as he started to pick up his books.

@jackson wang Mino paused eating upon hearing chopsticks break but for all he could see, the younger was used to it and kept on eating. He instead got an idea and figured he'd mention it later.
The moment the other talked again, he couldn't help but smile, feeling like this student was very friendly. There was nothing like not being called Mister, Doctor or sir after a monthat being recognized for just his job.
"Leftovers huh.." he said quietly and he shrugged. "Depends. If there's no leftovers, they freestyle and sometimes it's even better than whatever wveryone had for lunch." He added, somewhat proud of his month of observation around. He did conclude on accepting to eat this late because there were upsides to it.
"You get the nearly the library for yourself then the cafeteria for yourself... not bad I guess." He finished his plate. And drank half his glass before he rested back in his chair, waiting for the other to get to the dessert.
"I get up very early though, to get my breakfast before everyone. As days go, they all wake up later and it's a delight to have a coffee while the sun is barely rising." He confessed. His work had him coming in early and though he could take a coffee in his quiet office he liked the view in the hall better.
"But of course it makes me slee-" he paused and hid his yawning mouth by turning to the side lazily "Sleep earlier too." He inhaled and grabbed a half of chopstick that had broken.
"They can lend you steel chopsticks I think. Unless you're more comfortable eating with knives and forks."

@β☣song mino he nodded, smiling a little wider after hearing the latter's name, probably one of the first names jackson had learnt in this school, if you skipped the part when teachers were taking attendence. like he was even able to remember so many names, so many faces. he lacked in this area so ing much.
once the chopsticks were broken, jackson chose it was a good time to finally eat. he wasn't extremely hungry, but his stomach indeed was craving something and it obviously must've been food. or water what he gladly accepted when the glass was given to him. smiling again at the latter - his mouth was simply too busy to say anything - he took the glass and then also a small sip of the slightly cool drink, before he placed the glass down at the table, a soft bump could be heard.
"yeah, it's less crowded here at this hour", he started, before another piece of chicken died in his mouth. "but it's a tough decision, bro. like, the best food is here when the lunch break starts. later cooks are too lazy to cook anything more so we're basicly eating leftovers", he continued, not taking his eyes off his own plate. only sometimes he found a moment to lift his head up and send a short glance at mino. "and answering your question, late lunch. i was in the library. when everyone is busy eating, no one is there except for this one librarian who must live there."

@jackson wang The Nurse jumped a little and smiled politely as he watched a student settle at his table. He looked at the blonde and couldn't remember seeing him at the clinic; this had to be their first meeting.
"Nice to meet you too Jackson, I'm Mino."
His smile spread a little and he suddenly found the appetite. He quitted spinning his plate and picked some of his food. He got rid of the honorifics and meant to be just any random guy for his break.
Although the student had chosen to sit with him, he wasn't sure he meant to talk very much, so he took some time and even went to grab a glass for the other. He poured water in both glasses and presented one for the student without asking.
"Are you having lunch this late too, or is it dinner a little ealier than the rest?" he asked. Mino couldn't help but to be caring for the students, even while off from his job and out of his blouse. Here he could as well be a student in his final year as he wore no distinctive sign of his position. He glanced at Jackson a little, a little more interested in the plate the other had composed for himself than in his own well balance diet.
"Cause I'm just late, but this seems like the only time to eat without having to queue."

@β☣song mino jackson was new at school so when he arrived to the dinning hall he had no company on his sides. he might be after a few classes already, however, he didn't bother himself to make any new friends so far. and honestly, he wasn't really desperate to have someone to talk to. but yes, if it changed, the blonde wouldn't have any problem with approaching a random stranger. he could be talkative when needed, he could ask questions, he could be authentic with his emotionally involvement in other person's situation, he was good at it. but often he was simply too lazy to use this ability, also not wanting to become the one everyone came to while experiancing any kind of difficult situations. jackson had never been good at giving advices either being empathetic.
but getting back to the main topic...
he got a plate and after collecting the food he was craving, he looked around the hall, trying to find the best spot to sit at. jackson couldn't be sure why, but he chose the table at the window with a man sitting alone at it. he didn't even ask for permission. he just sat down, saying a short 'ayo', before his plate was placed down.
"i'm jackson", he introduced himself, having a small smile plastered to his rosy lips. "nice to meet you", he added quickly, not bothering himself to reach his hand out for a handshake. his fingers were busy with wooden chopsticks he was going to break.

@jackson wang Mino was staring at his full plate, his chopsticks overing but clearly his mind was someplace else. His free hand made it spin, the sun setting in his back casting large shadows over the table he occupied alone. The rest of his staff had eaten lunch on time hand only when he saw the workload lessen, the head nurse took his lunch break, seven hours late. An ealy dinner as the catering staff commented. Indeed a few students were eating dinner but he didn't try to mingle at lunch time as he remembered weird it felt to bear the lame jokes of teachers back when he was a student if their age.
He sighed and rested his chopsticks aside, wondering if he should just go to sleep.

@α☄kwon hyuk (( I'm continuing here but with a 3 weeks timeskip! :3 ))

Siyeong looked everywhere for Hyuk and he figured it was fate to find him again in the dining hall. He went to sit just next to him despite all the free seats around and purposefully stole a sip of his glass.
"Hyuk," he then said and tapped his now flat tummy: "I'm free!" He said and smirked, his hand lifted and hovering his friend's plate, looking for something to pick and eat.
"How about you, are you mated? Tell me all..." He mumbled and lowered his hand to steal food.

@[H] α☄Toya Once he got permission to use the kitchen as he wished, MingMing cheered and started bustling around, chopping up the onions and setting them aside for later, browning the meat in a big saucepan with some salt and a touch of sugar before tossing the onions in and browning those too. Once that was thoroughly cooked, he poured in the tinned mushrooms to absorb the juices of the meat, then poured in the tomato sauce, adding pinches of dried herbs as he stirred.

Every once in a while, Toya would tug him away from the stove and kiss him silly, and MingMing would be quite swept up in the whole thing before being let go. All the kisses and cuddles didn't do much more than make him WANT more, though, and the little beta would give a little whine and pout before realizing that his precious sauce might be in danger of scorching, so he'd turn back to his cooking with pinkness in his cheeks. Eventually, though, his sauce was all cooked, and MingMing set it on the back burner to cool off a little and for the flavors to settle. It was a nice, thick sauce, a lot of the water having been cooked off and leaving the rest behind. "All done, Toya-alpha~" he chirped, wiggling a little. "Now I can set table?"

@β☪yao mingming Toya nodded and stepped back to let MingMing have his run of the kitchen. He leaned against the counter and watched him with affectionate amusement. "Don't push yourself too hard baby, you have a long day," he pointed out, not wanting MingMing to exhausted himself all over again cooking in a hot kitchen. He decided it was definitely his job to help cool his little beta off, and he snatched him away from the stove from time to time to kiss him breathless and shower him with affection before he would let him go with one last lingering peck and let him get back to cooking. He made sure to interrupt him at least once every five or so minutes, being diligent with his job of course, and if he happened to simply love the flushed look MingMing would get when he was kissed that was just a bonus.

@[H] α☄Toya MingMing was in a bit of a dreamlike state until Toya spoke again, and he blinked into focus with a startled look. "OH, oh, um..." Patting his cheeks a few times to get back into focus, he gave a bright smile and hopped off the counter. "Hamburger and onions if you have 'em. Also tomato sauce and tinned mushrooms? I'll cook it all, no worries~" He snuck a little peek at the alpha for permission before poking his inquisitive little nose into the refrigerator, looking for his proper ingredients. Once he'd collected them, he started looking around for the canned goods. Some nice beef broth would go well with the sauces, he'd realized.

@β☪yao mingming Toya smiled at the expression on MingMing's face, utterly endeared with it as he was with everything that the precious beta did. He started filling a pot with water so it could begin boiling, knowing that would take the longest time. "Alright love, what kinds of ingredients do you need for your sauce?" He asked, going over to the fridge to see what he had to offer. He knew he had hamburger and sausage but he wasn't sure what MingMing preferred so he glanced back at him. "Hamburger or sausage? Or do you prefer a veggie sauce?"

@[H] Ω☄hong siyeong✧ "I hope he is" He smiled softly to himself and then laughed nodding. "I'll take it slow...but by the end of it he will be a prank master like me." Hyuk grinned at the other and pointed at himself at the statement proudly.
"I hope they call down then" He grinned at the other teasing and nodded.
"I have missed you too....I really hope we can meet up more" He said and nodded at the other happy that he has one of his old friendsback

@α☄kwon hyuk✦ ((No worries dear!))

"If he doesn't have big expectations about you then I hope he's ready to be surprised by how great you are!"
He smiled at the other and looked very confident in his words. He was always on Hyuk's side back in the day, blindly trusting his friend.
Siyeong smirked: "easy with the pranks..."
Hyuk was the best prankster back in the day and the omega was certain it only got better with time.
He laughed some more as his assomption was taken seriously by Hyuk. "What I mean is: since I've been expecting, I haven't been tripping or falling. But maybe it's the cub helping me focus.. in a few days I guess we'll see if Sprites are still after me." He flashed an innocent smile.
Siyeong only wished his friend would fall in love and get all the happiness he deserved.
"I promise I will be more around you. I missed you lots."

@[H] Ω☄hong siyeong✧ Hyuk chuckled and nodded to the other. "I guess I should work on maths myself too...but the thing is that he doesn't have big expectations on me and it makes me happy." He said with a happy smile and a small dreamy smile.
He squeezed the others hand and nodded. "I'll be the best uncle that any pup can have. I'll teach him how to prank and protect him." Hyuk grinned at the other.
"Does the belly really help you stabilise yourself? Wah...I guess that being omega really is good for you...I'm not meaning anything and by it." He laughed. And smiled softly at another thought of the omega he had gotten liking of. "Yeah...I will inform you of our happening." He nodded his head.
(sorry for the late reply. My phone was acting up and eating up long replies ;;)

[post deleted by owner]

@[H] α☄Toya✧ "Hnnnn~" The little beta cooed and kissed back, arms going around Toya's shoulders as he thought about dinner. "Spaghetti sounds really yummy. I can help make salad and meat sauce~" He let himself be lifted with a squeak and a blush, wrapping his legs around Toya's waist for balance and scooting back when he was set on the counter. As Toya kissed him, MingMing kept his legs around his waist, leaning in to return the kiss. Honestly, he could have spent lots of time kissing Toya in the kitchen, but the alpha had more presence of mind between the two of them and pulled away to start on dinner. MingMing would have helped right away, but he was still a bit dreamy-eyed from the kisses, smiling to himself and covering his face up.

@β☪yao mingming✦ "Alright, alright, I can't argue with that face," Toya chuckled and wrapped his arms around MingMing, kissing him softly and nuzzling his nose against the younger's. "What sounds good to eat then? I can cook anything that sounds delicious." He had recently gone to the grocery, so his fridge and cupboards were fully stocked at the very least. He lifted MingMing up, coaxing his legs around his waist and carrying him to the kitchen. He set him down on the counter and kissed him again, stealing one more kiss for good measure and because he didn't think he could ever get enough of MingMing's lips. They were as sweet as he personality, and Toya was pretty sure he was addicted. He smiled softly and poked MingMing's nose before he stepped back before he could get too tempted and forget about dinner. He needed to feed his little love, that was important. He was already tiny, he didn't need to get any tinier.

@[H] α☄Toya✧ MingMing really did appreciate Toya, very very much. Even though it was a longer route, the alpha made sure they stayed as much in air conditioned buildings as possible... probably because he was worried about the sun sickness. He couldn't blame Toya, though, lots of people were coming down sick. Not that he'd tell, but MingMing was a little certain that he'd gotten a touch of sun sickness himself. Luckily he'd gotten a moonstone before it got too bad, but it could have been much worse. Now with his moonstone he had a stronger chance of fighting off recurring bouts of the sun sickness, and he knew that stress and fatigue would actually make people catch it more. Humming happily, MingMing nuzzled himself into Toya's side as they walked, and was quite surprised to see how close they were to Toya's dorm building. It didn't take long for them to get into the room itself, and the beta squirmed and giggled as the other's fingers skittered playfully up his sides. "Wanna help Toya!" he insisted, wiggling for good measure. "Don' wanna watch TV, wanna help Toya~"

@β☪yao mingming✦ Toya was glad when they were finally able to leave, not that he didn't enjoy helping MingMing out with his job, he very much wanted to get the little beta home where he could rest. He worried that MingMing was pushing himself too hard and would end up sick, what with the heat lately Toya worried about his darling a lot. He slipped an arm around the beta's waist and kissed his temple. "Yes, let's go have dinner," he agreed, walking with MingMing out of the booth, he kept them inside as long as he possibly could even though that route was technically longer. It was worth it keeping MingMing in the air conditioning for as long as they could. When they did finally have to step outside, they only had to walk as far as the next building to be in the dorm that Toya lived in. He had his key out and ready so they could slip into his room when they got there. "Home sweet home," he exclaimed, smiling sweetly and playfully tickling up MingMing's sides just to hear him laugh. "Are you sure you want to help me with dinner? You can relax and watch TV instead if you want?"

@[H] α☄Toya✧ Cooing softly, MingMing leaned into the petting, blinking big adoring eyes up at his alpha. "What kind of dinner? I can help cook too~" he cheered, wiggling a bit. "Like cooking." Toya's change of topic had him pouting a little in slight confusion, but he soon caught on as the other's lips met his in a sweet kiss. At the sound of approaching footsteps, an embarrassed MIngMing hid his face in Toya's shoulder, only daring to take a quick peek at the departing back of the lost student. He didn't think he could ever get used to people seeing their kisses - not that he was ashamed of their relationship, more that he was an easily flustered little soul. His mind had wandered a bit, but Toya's question brought him back. "Hm? Almost done?" A quick check of his watch revealed that yes indeed they were done for the day. "We're all done now~ Just gottal lock up for the next person and we can be on our way~" With a quick kiss to Toya's cheek, MingMing hopped off the other's lap and started bustling around and cleaning up. A campus like this, the booth would remained undisturbed until the next person appeared. Everything done, he scooted back over to Toya's side, bouncing on the balls of his feet. "Ready to go have dinner, Toya-ge~"

@β☪yao mingming✦ "I'm glad, I'll even make us dinner," Toya promised, smiling gently and running his fingers through MingMing's hair. "My beautiful darling, I couldn't imagine my life without you," he admitted, chuckling softly and moving his hand to gently cup MingMing's cheek instead. He pressed their lips together in a slow and gentle kiss, only pulling away when he heard foot steps approached the stand. He pulled away and rested his arms around MingMing's waist instead as he offered a friendly smile to the person who had approached the stand. Thankfully he was only looking for directions to his classroom, and Toya was able to direct him easily. He sighed softly in relief when he was gone and he nuzzled MingMing's neck, playfully blowing a raspberry against his skin. "Are we almost done here cutie?"

@[H] α☄Toya✧ MingMing had intended to just sit next to Toya, but the next thing he knew he was being lifted up and set back on Toya's lap, and he made a quiet little squeak as he was settled and arms went around his waist. Once more his cheeks turned a pretty pink, and he hid his blushes in Toya's shoulder. "I'm... I'm glad it wasn't a bother... and you could find things. I like organizing~" A quiet little hum at the question, then, "I do feel better, lots better. You were right, I DID need a nap." The alpha shifting around had him peering back, and MingMing smiled to see Toya sitting back to look at him. "Cuddles and a movie? I'd like that a lot~" He missed his time with Toya, missed being able to cuddle and doze off and then magically wake up in the morning in the same bed as the alpha. He quite liked the intimacy and closeness, even though he was the most inexperienced little thing when it came to . Still, he'd wondered what it would be like to have Toya as a mate - and very very secretly, what it would be like to bear Toya's pups one day. MingMing just never gave much thought as to anything in between. He'd heard a lot about it, but it was still a big question mark where ual relations were involved.

@α☄kwon hyuk✦ Siyeong chuckled at the joke and he shook his head. "Well Gandi is no more, but you are." And actually, Siyeong was glad his friend was there again, back in his life despite the terrible experience that had them grow apart for years.
"Of course you wouldn't get what he taught you, because you didn't more gazing than letting knowledge sink in your brain, you'll have to study alone and impress him with good, I mean great marks." Siyeong chuckled. It seemed he knew for himself how it worked.
The omega shrugged lightly and he had to admit that if he had had Hyuk by his side when he learnt he was the kind to bear children and care, maybe it would have turned into a basic joke between the two of them, maybe he would have found it normal since any pretense was a reason to take care of Hyuk.
"I hope you will soon meet your nephew then, he's going to rely on you and need you all the time you know. But I know you'll be an awesome uncle to him. Also, believe it or not, the belly gives me more stability. I didn't trip ever since I got it... I suppose it was really in me to be an omega."
Siyeong chuckled and let go of the other's hand.
"Alright, keep me updated on the mate thing okay?" he said before getting up from his chair and he waved on his way out.

@β☪yao mingming✦ Toya waited and watched with a combination of amusement and utter affection as MingMing woke up and started moving around. He watched the little beta go and get the bottles of water, the smile never once leaving his face. MingMing was precious and Toya couldn't have possibly loved him any more he was sure, but somehow every day MingMing did something that just made Toya fall in love with him a little bit more. He reached out and picked the little beta up, settling him back in his lap and wrapping his arms around his waist, pressing a kiss to his cheek and nuzzling it. "Hmm, not at all love. You have everything organized very well," he praised him, kissing his cheek again. "Do you feel a little better now?" He asked, concern over taking him for a moment as he sat back enough to actually get a good look at MingMing. "We'll go back to my dorm once your shift is over, you can rest on the couch and we can watch a movie together."
