~MY RIVAL ALPHA~
Ch 1--
School Announcement:
“Final rankings for the monthly academic competition are posted!”
Students immediately crowd around the board.
Taehung pushes through them.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Move. I want to see who finally beat me.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
(stops.)
Rank #1 — Jungkook
Rank #2 — Taehung
Taehung (MC, Beta)
...Two points?
A familiar voice comes from behind him.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Looks like you weren't good enough this time.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
(slowly turns around.)
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Don't get too excited, Jungkook.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Why? Afraid I'll stay ahead?
Taehung (MC, Beta)
In your dreams.
The students exchange amused looks.
Student 1: Here we go again.
Student 2: Those two seriously can't stand each other.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
(grabs his bag.)
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Basketball after class.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
What about it?
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Loser buys lunch.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
(smirks.)
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Fine. Prepare your wallet.
Taehung wins by one point.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Looks like your wallet's getting lighter.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Don't celebrate yet.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
A loss is a loss.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Tomorrow, you're losing.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Try me.
They glare at each other.
Another battle had already begun.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Hello guys(◔‿◔)
Taehung (MC, Beta)
I'm Taehung. 18 yrs old. Top student, athlete, and—
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Second-ranked student.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
I was introducing myself!
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
I'm just correcting the facts.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
You're seriously annoying.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
And you're overly competitive.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Obviously. I hate losing.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
That explains why you're always challenging me.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Because you're the only person worth beating.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Hmph.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
And before anyone asks—I'm a Beta.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
You sound defensive.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Because people treat Omegas differently. I don't want that.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
So you don't like Alphas?
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Especially arrogant ones.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Then we're going to get along terribly.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
We already do.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
I'm Jungkook. 19 yrs old. Alpha. Top student. Captain of the basketball team.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
You forgot ‘insufferably arrogant.’
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
I don't need to introduce what everyone already knows.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
What?
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Exactly why I dislike powerful Alphas.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Good. Stay out of my way.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Make me.
They've been childhood rivals for years.
Their rivalry started long before they ever became classmates, and neither has been willing to let the other win even once.
CH 2---
Taehung drops his bag onto the cafeteria table.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
So? Where's my lunch?
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
(places a lunch tray in front of him.)
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Here.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
(looks at it.)
Taehung (MC, Beta)
You actually paid?
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
A bet is a bet.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
I expected you to make an excuse.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Unlike you, I keep my promises.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
(narrows his eyes.)
Taehung (MC, Beta)
You really enjoy provoking me.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
You make it easy.
A classmate suddenly approaches.
Classmate: You two are competing again?
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Obviously.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
He's obsessed with beating me.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Excuse me?!
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Did I lie?
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Fine. Tomorrow, we'll see who finishes the history assignment first.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
You're challenging me to homework now?
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Scared?
Taehung (MC, Beta)
(opens his textbook.)
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
(sits across from him.)
They both reach for the same reference book.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
I was reaching for that.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Then you were too slow.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Give it to me.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Come take it.
The entire class turns toward them.
They're starting again...
Ch 3--
The history assignments land on the teacher's desk.
Teacher: Jungkook and Taehung finished first.
The class looks between them.
Teacher: And both scored full marks.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
(looks at Jungkook.)
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Don't tell me you're upset about half a point that doesn't exist.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
I'm upset that you're still standing beside me.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Then work harder.
Teacher:
Since you're both so competitive, you'll represent our class at next week's academic competition.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Together?
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
I'd rather compete alone.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Finally, something we agree on.
Teacher:
Too bad. You're partners.
They glare at each other.
After School — Track Field
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
(crosses the finish line first.)
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Still behind me.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
By one second.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Still behind.
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Let's run again.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Trying to loose twice?
Taehung (MC, Beta)
I'm trying to shut you up.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
(smirks.)
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
Then catch me.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
(runs.)
Taehung (MC, Beta)
(immediately runs after him.)
But halfway around the track—
Taehung (MC, Beta)
(suddenly stops.)
Taehung (MC, Beta)
(expression changes.)
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
(turns around.)
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
What happened?
Taehung (MC, Beta)
(quickly looks away.)
Taehung (MC, Beta)
Nothing. Go away.
Jungkook (ML, Alpha)
You don't tell me what to do.
