Sweet Like Honey

A Haniri story

The repetitive pangs of Moonlight Sonata cascade from the grand piano as her fingers dance across smooth black and white keys, dadadadadada she hardly thinks about where to place her fingers because the song is so deeply ingrained in her memory. It was her mother's dream to be a pianist but then she'd come along kicking and screaming and that dream evaporated just like her father who was just a boy himself, both at the tender age of seventeen. He'd gone across town for work and just never returned, her mother never spoke about him but her sobs were more than audible at nights.

So she started playing the piano to drown out the sorrowful sound and eventually just to see that hopeful smile that would glide across her mother's tired face whenever she played. She was good, better than her mother had ever been. And when her mother would ask her if she wanted to be a pianist she would shake her little head in agreement, even though the book on coding she hid under her pillow pressed into her shoulder when she slept at night.

Vincenzo's sharp alpha scent knocks her from her reminiscing, the mafia member flooding her nostrils with his overbearing smoky scent it made her sniffle and wipe futilely at her nose. She could pick up Cha-young pungent vanilla scent cutting through the fire and smoke and creating an aroma that was perfectly them. She'd never met a double alpha pair before them, there were no regulations but most alphas couldn't stand the scent of another, and especially not enough to date. But the two seemed to gravitate towards each other on a level that defied logic. She'd caught them scenting each other several times so it was evident that contrary to science they enjoyed the other's smell enough to drench themselves in it. It was difficult sometimes for her to deal with but she had gotten used to their unusual mingling scent.

But then her nose twitches again. There's something else. Sniffing the air she stands up almost in a trance because there's another underlying scent that she's never smelled before.

Honey and oatmeal and something saccharine sweet that she can't explain, can't put into words but it's the most deliciously invigorating scent she has ever had the pleasure of inhaling in her life.

Walking quickly she tugs open the sliding door of her piano academy, urgently needing to know where that intoxicating scent is coming from and as the door slams open she comes face to face with him, the ex- fake Babel CEO turned Jipuragi understudy and the one that Cassano-nim has taken to calling "hyung". It isn't the first time she has noticed him, since the death of his brother he'd practically moved in. He was pretty, distractingly so with long curling lashes that covered huge siren eyes and those plush pink lips. She'd avoided him for that very reason. She didn't need any complications and that's all relationships were.

But something was different today, he had never smelled like that before. She would have noticed and probably jumped him or at least propositioned him. Begged him to left her do anything he wanted.

She looks over at Vincenzo, confused by her own thoughts and Han Seo's new scent but he gives her a sharp piercing look that does nothing to answer her question.

"Were you the one playing the piano? That was moonlight sonata right? That was one of my mom's favorite songs." The sweet smelling man speaks either truly oblivious or ignoring the tension between the two alphas as they stare each other down. For some reason Vincenzo standing so close to the wide eyed man makes her skin tighten, her alpha brain growling threateningly. She has to suppress a deep groan, barely containing the sound of warning. Reprimanding herself she takes a deep breath, she doesn't want to challenge Vincenzo despite what her body thinks.

"Are you okay?" Why are you both so quiet?" Han Seo tries again pouting now as both alphas ignore him.

"I'm fine." She chokes out faltering in the face of his displeasure, she desperately wants to replace that frown on his face so much it's making her head spin.

"You don't look okay. Do you have a fever? You're pretty red."

And the man must not know correct etiquette or how to interact with alphas because he reaches out a hand to palm her forehead, unconsciously offering his wrist and she can't help but scent him drawing in a nose full of that enticing aroma but at the first touch of his hand on her skin a current of lighting courses through her blood stream.

Mate. Mate. Mate.

It punches the air from her lung. The longing is so immediate and visceral, she lunges for him needing to be closer, to hold him and taste him; makes him submit to her. But then another scent snuffs her in the jaw.

Fear. Bubbling rotting fear.

When her vision she sees his face scrunched up in terror, his hand drawn back against his side as he backs away from her.

But how could that be? He should have felt it too. I'm his mate, why is he scared of me?

She stares at him trying to make sense of everything that is happening. How could she have been the only one to feel that electricity? It was so powerful she was still feeling it.

"Miri-ah. I think you should go back inside. I don't want to hurt you." Vincenzo steps in front of her mate and her hackles raise instantly, the urge to fight overwhelming her and she takes a step forward in clear challenge. Vincenzo is strong, a true alpha but she has no doubt that she can take him in this moment. Her mating rage giving her newfound energy and boundless strength, she would do anything to protect her mate. Anything.

She bares her teeth viciously but then a soft whimper assaults her ears and it drains all the fight out of her body.

He's scared. She's scaring her mate.

Taking a deep calming breath she shakes off the fog, finally regaining control. Without a word she backs into her piano studio, proverbial tail between her legs. Staring at Han Seo the entire way unable to look away from his beseeching gaze, his quivering glossy eyes are watching her too. It takes very ounce of her control not to attack Vincenzo as he casually places a hand on the man's shoulder to steer him away, too far from her.

She watches them disappear down the long hallway moving to follow her mate. It's obvious from his gesticulating arms that he's asking the other alpha animated questions but she can't hear them.

Just as they reach the law firm, Han Seo suddenly stops and looks back at her over his shoulder. His eyes are searching and perplexed. She would hack whoever was necessary to help him find the answer to any question he ever had. Despite their circumstances not even a minute ago he unexpectedly smiles at her, a small confused thing before he disappears behind the doors.

What the hell was going on?
