Chapter 45 – GOY 45
#45
“Why? Can you feel it?”
“No. I’m a Beta, remember.”
There were days when I felt strangely aroused. My body would feel flushed and excited, as if I were in a Cycle, and I even wondered if I might have manifested.
However, seeing as I felt nothing even after being smeared with a Dominant Alpha’s pheromones for over a month, it seemed I was mistaken.
“Seung-hyuk-ah.”
“Yes.”
“I heard Alphas and Omegas communicate through pheromones. Is that true?”
“I don’t know. Lee Yeon-soo is my first.”
Joo Seung-hyuk spoke in a shy voice, burying his face in my back. As time goes by, he’s getting better at pretending to be innocent.
When he’s like this, he’s kind of cu— no, no! He was abominable and terrifying.
Anyway, he didn’t fall for it.
Well, it wasn’t a leading question but a genuine one, but seeing him pretend to be pure without a moment’s hesitation makes me a bit scared.
“I heard Alphas are instinctively drawn to Omegas. Have you never felt that? It’s a natural phenomenon for an Alpha to react to Omega pheromones.”
“No. Never. I hate anyone who isn’t my Guide. Everyone else is disgusting. If some bastard tries to spray their pheromones on me, I’ll kill them.”
“I-I see…”
He smeared his own pheromones all over me, but he apparently hates it when others do the same to him. He’s truly selfish. I guess that’s why he’s an obsessive madman.
Actually, I intended to use the pheromone conversation to naturally suggest he try meeting an Omega, but today doesn’t seem like the right timing.
I decided to shut my mouth and just [unauthorized copy]read my unauthorized copybook, but Joo Seung-hyuk kissed my neck. My body instinctively flinched.
“Why? Do you hate it?”
“No. I thought you might bite.”
“Do you hate it if I bite?”
“…It’s not that, but it hurts.”
“I’ll make sure it doesn’t hurt.”
You crazy bastard, how can biting not hurt?
But arguing with an obsessive madman in this manner was forbidden.
“But if it leaves a mark, it’ll be embarrassing… Other people will see…”
“Which bastard is looking at Lee Yeon-soo?”
Joo Seung-hyuk’s tone suddenly turned icy.
Wait, is that something to get this angry about?
I was flustered, but feeling the chillingly undulating mana, I hurried to fix the situation.
“I just mean it’ll be obvious even if they don’t want to see it.”
“That’s true. If you’re right in front of them, they’ll see.”
For once, he gave a rational response.
“Yeah. If you’re in front of them, they’ll see.”
“Because Hyung captures people’s attention.”
Huh? The flow of conversation is getting a bit weird.
“No, it’s not that I’m special, it’s just that anyone who is in front of someone…”
“As I thought, school is too dangerous.”
Joo Seung-hyuk spoke in a low voice, slowly rubbing the spot where he had kissed me with his long fingers.
“Hyung, shall we just live together on a deserted island?”
…What? I was just reading a book, so why did the ‘Deserted Island Confinement’ option suddenly pop up?
Seriously, in the world of obsessive confinement angst, you can never let your guard down.
“Wouldn’t living on a deserted island be too hard…? It would be hard to find food, and there’s no electricity. We’d have to build a house…”
“If those things are solved, would you live on a deserted island?”
He asked seriously. Others would think he was joking with a serious face, but I know. The moment I answer yes, I’ll be headed straight to a deserted island.
“W-well…”
“If you hate the deserted island, my house is also fine.”
Are there no other options besides ‘Deserted Island Confinement’ and ‘Obsessive Madman’s House Confinement’?
“T-that’s also good, but isn’t school life fun? I enjoy going to school with you…”
“You enjoy it?”
“Yeah. I want to keep going to school with you. Making memories… We can’t do that on a deserted island.”
We can’t do it if I’m confined in your house either…
“You want to make memories with me?”
“Yeah.”
“Lee Yeon-soo, you really are a fox.”
What part of what I said was fox-like? I was just desperately searching for another option because I didn’t want to be confined…
Though I completely disagree, Joo Seung-hyuk chuckled lowly and sat beside me.
“Hyung, it’s already May.”
“It is.”
The topic changed.
Does that mean I’ve escaped the crisis of confinement? Relieved, I quickly responded.
While being toyed with by the obsessive yandere, it had already become May. He was clinging to me even more than before.
The hope that I was merely a momentary amusement to the obsessive yandere and that his interest would fade over time was gradually disappearing.
“Do you know what month May is?”
“Isn’t it Family Month?”
Even though it was a very easy question, I felt nervous, as if I might get it wrong just because Joo Seung-hyuk was the one asking.
“And?”
“And? Is there something else?”
Joo Seung-hyuk stared intently at my face, and the corners of his lips curled up.
“The May Bride.”
“……”
“May is a great season for weddings.”
“I guess so…”
As soon as I escaped the threat of confinement, a marriage crisis arrived. Not a single day had been peaceful since I got entangled with Joo Seung-hyuk.
“Shall we go look at rings?”
“…I-isn’t getting married within a month too rushed?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll prepare everything.”
Damn it, I didn’t know Joo Seung-hyuk was a marriage-obsessed madman! Why wasn’t this mentioned in the original work!
“Still, it’s the middle of the semester, so rushing it is…”
“Hyung, you’ll take responsibility for my purity, right?”
Furthermore, he was also a purity-obsessed madman.
Every time Joo Seung-hyuk said those words, a sense of injustice washed over me, but since I couldn’t remember what happened that night, I couldn’t refute him.
I could only blame my instincts for being so honest about my preferences even while dead drunk…
“Yeah… But don’t you think getting married right now is a bit too early?”
“Then how about couple rings?”
“Couple rings?”
“Yes. Couple rings. We don’t even have couple rings.”
Sharing couple rings with an obsessive madman. That was practically the same as wearing shackles.
“That’s a bit… I don’t really wear rings…”
The moment I tried to use the excuse that I don’t wear rings often, Joo Seung-hyuk smiled brightly and cut me off.
“Do you hate couple rings? Then shall we make it an engagement ring?”
Engagement?
I was shocked the moment I heard his words. This felt even more realistic than marriage.
If it’s an engagement, it really might be possible to do it within a month.
“N-no…”
I carefully shook my head. An engagement ring was absolutely out of the question.
“Then shall we just go with wedding rings after all?”
No. Now that I think about it, while unauthorized copyI hate engagement, wedding rings seem to be the worst among all rings. [stolen content]Once I buy that, there’s no turning back.
I hurriedly grabbed Joo Seung-hyuk’s hand.
“Let’s go with couple rings!”
“Wouldn’t wedding rings be better?”
“Still, we should take things one step at a time. I think it’s better to start with couple rings.”
“Alright. Then let’s go buy them after today’s lecture.”
Joo Seung-hyuk smiled beautifully, his eyes crinkling. I felt like I’d been played somehow, but there was no way out.
“U-huh…”
I had no choice but to nod.
“Is there a design you want?”
“Ah, it’s time for training.”
No matter how scary the madman was, I couldn’t let myself be dragged around by Joo Seung-hyuk any longer, so I looked at the wall clock and changed the subject.
“We have to put on our uniforms too. Let’s get ready.”
As I stood up, Joo Seung-hyuk grabbed my hand. He stared at me without saying a word.
‘Was I too obvious?’
He might have read my true intention of not wanting to get rings, let alone marry. While I was racking my brain for how to handle the situation, Joo Seung-hyuk gave a thin smile.
“Hyung, dress me.”
“Huh?”
“I want Hyung to put them on for me.”
Joo Seung-hyuk’s ears turned bright red. Could he actually be shy?
His shy appearance was kind of cu— no, Yeon-soo, please stop falling for his face.
How long has it been since this guy wiped out all the A-Class Espers? He’s the one who tried to confine me to a deserted island just a minute ago.
If you treat a black panther like a cat just because it’s pretending to be one, you’ll end up getting bitten horribly. I must never forget his true nature.
“Alright. I’ll dress you.”
I quickly stood up and opened the wardrobe. On one side of the wardrobe, my uniform and Joo Seung-hyuk’s uniform were hanging side by side.
How did it end up like this…
I became Joo Seung-hyuk’s assigned Guide, and our schedules were adjusted so we could do joint training together. Since we had many overlapping hours, we often spent our free time together in the dormitory before changing into our uniforms and heading out.
And by the time I realized it, one side of my wardrobe had become the designated spot for Joo Seung-hyuk’s uniform.
I didn’t know when he had put it there, but I couldn’t tell him to take it back.
Who knows what would happen if I did…
And so, it stayed this way.
I took out the black Esper Uniform and approached Joo Seung-hyuk.
He was wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt and jeans.
“Now, arms up.”
“Arms up?”
“You said you wanted me to dress you. You have to lift your arms.”
“Ah, yes.”
Joo Seung-hyuk quietly raised both hands.
While being careful not to mess up his hair, I pulled the shirt off completely, and Joo Seung-hyuk suddenly burst into laughter.
“What?”
“I didn’t know Hyung would even take my clothes off.”
“……”
Did he mean he would take off his own clothes and just wanted me to help him with the jacket?
Now that I think about it, what on earth was I doing? I know my sense of distance has weakened because this bastard is always clinging to me, but taking off someone’s clothes so casually… He’s not Min-soo or Kyung-soo, he’s an obsessive madman!
My face flushed red with embarrassment.
“Why are you standing there like that? You have to take off my pants too.”
“N-no.”
“What’s ‘no’?”
Joo Seung-hyuk asked back, lifting one corner of his mouth. As I shook my head and stepped backward, he stepped forward just as much.
The dormitory was small. After only a few steps, my back hit the wall. When Joo Seung-hyuk leaned against the wall, I ended up trapped in his embrace.
“I-it’s late. Let’s just change separately today.”
“I suppose so.”
Joo Seung-hyuk looked at the wall clock and chuckled. But he didn’t let me go.
Our lips overlapped. The faint lingering scent of perfume brushed the tip of my nose.
If I were an Omega, I might have smelled his pheromones instead of perfume.
