[Executive Seo Jeong-woon: I’ll wait in the parking lot. Take your time.]

As quitting time approached, Seo Jeong-woon sent a one-sided notification along with a cute emoji.

‘Why is he saying he’ll wait?’

Do Yi-hyun frowned slightly as he looked at his phone. Since they both had their own cars anyway, they could have just met at Seo Jeong-woon’s place. Their quitting times were different too, so he didn’t understand why Seo Jeong-woon was going through this unnecessary trouble.

‘Is he worried I might run away or something?’

Do Yi-hyun twisted his lips in displeasure. Unlike Seo Jeong-woon, Do Yi-hyun rarely went back on his word once he said something.

[Executive Seo Jeong-woon: I’ll give you a ride home.]

Seo Jeong-woon belatedly sent another sentence. Do Yi-hyun furrowed his brow even more at this unwelcome suggestion. He had to come to work tomorrow too, and it was obvious that leaving his car at the company would be inconvenient in many ways.

Do Yi-hyun simply flipped his phone over. This time, he was determined to ignore Seo Jeong-woon no matter how unreasonable he acted.

***

After finishing his work, Do Yi-hyun headed straight for the parking lot.

He wanted to leave the company quickly before Seo Jeong-woon could catch him.

“Mr. Yi-hyun, are you here?”

But the moment Do Yi-hyun spotted his car in one corner of the parking lot, a smooth voice reached his ears. Turning his head reluctantly, he saw Seo Jeong-woon smiling brightly, his chin resting on the edge of the fully open car window. He had parked right next to Do Yi-hyun’s car and was waiting.

Do Yi-hyun tried to ignore Seo Jeong-woon and get into his car. However, Seo Jeong-woon, who had quickly gotten out, slipped between Do Yi-hyun and the car.

“Didn’t you see my message? No wonder there was no reply.”

Even though he knew Do Yi-hyun had intentionally ignored his message, Seo Jeong-woon shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

“Please move aside.”

“I’ll drive today. Let’s go.”

Despite Do Yi-hyun’s indifferent expression, Seo Jeong-woon curved his long eyes amiably. Then, he placed a hand on the small of Do Yi-hyun’s back and gave a light push.

“At the company…”

“Isn’t this an appropriate distance?”

Do Yi-hyun twisted his waist, clearly showing his discomfort. But Seo Jeong-woon tilted his head and acted shamelessly.

“Stop talking nonsense.”

Do Yi-hyun was disgusted. Between a superior and a subordinate, any kind of physical contact was unnecessary. Moreover, Seo Jeong-woon’s hands were so large that it felt almost no different from having an arm wrapped around his waist.

“Executive.”

Do Yi-hyun raised his head and called Seo Jeong-woon in a low, subdued voice. It was excessive for him to keep dangerously crossing the line even at the company. He intended to seriously address the issue.

“Yes, Mr. Yi-hyun.”

Seo Jeong-woon still met Do Yi-hyun’s eyes with a beaming face.

“Executive Seo?”

However, at the uncertain question coming from behind, Do Yi-hyun had no choice but to close his mouth. The gaze that had been directed straight at Do Yi-hyun shifted past his shoulder.

‘Ah.’

Inadvertently, Do Yi-hyun witnessed the moment Seo Jeong-woon’s expression changed. The playful glint in his grayish-brown eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by a composed smile. The face of Seo Jeong-woon, whom he saw almost every day, felt strangely unfamiliar.

“Long time no see.”

Seo Jeong-woon offered a greeting that was appropriately friendly yet polite. All the while, one hand remained holding Do Yi-hyun’s waist. Fortunately, the man seemed too distracted by Seo Jeong-woon’s face to notice the two were entangled.

Do Yi-hyun turned his body to hide Seo Jeong-woon’s arm from view.

“Team Leader Do is here too. Where are you two headed?”

“Yes. We’re going on a date.”

Seo Jeong-woon answered the man’s curiosity on his own accord. Do Yi-hyun, who had been reaching back to pull Seo Jeong-woon’s wrist down, narrowed his eyes. Specifying it as a date was clearly a remark made with the rumors about Choi Seon-woo in mind.

If this complicated, subtle relationship were exposed to others, Seo Jeong-woon would also be quite embarrassed. Yet he kept acting ambiguously, as if deliberately hinting at it or not. It seemed less like a lack of caution and more like he was simply doing it for fun.

“Wow, a date with Executive Seo. Team Leader Do must be happy. I’m jealous.”

Just like when the rumor about ‘dating a handsome Alpha’ had circulated, those who knew Do Yi-hyun was an Alpha didn’t genuinely take the word ‘date’ seriously. Perhaps it was due to his indifferent personality, which seemed far removed from romance.

The man glanced at Do Yi-hyun with a regretful expression. The words ‘If you’re so jealous, go in my place’ rose to the tip of his tongue, but he couldn’t bring himself to say them. If there was even the slightest chance Seo Jeong-woon might lose interest in the child, it would be troublesome.

“We’ll be going ahead now.”

Seo Jeong-woon took advantage of the man lingering around to finally get Do Yi-hyun into the passenger seat. Do Yi-hyun glared at Seo Jeong-woon through the dim car window. Getting into a battle of nerves with Seo Jeong-woon in front of another employee over sharing a car or not might just spawn another strange rumor.

He himself didn’t care about rumors, but the problem was he couldn’t predict how Seo Jeong-woon would react to a distorted story. From Do Yi-hyun’s perspective, Seo Jeong-woon was like a time bomb that could go off at any moment.

“Fasten your seatbelt. Or I’ll do it for you…”

“That won’t be necessary.”

Do Yi-hyun fastened his seatbelt before Seo Jeong-woon could spout more nonsense. A low chuckle tickled Do Yi-hyun’s ear.

“Let’s commute to work together like this tomorrow morning too.”

“I’ll pass.”

Do Yi-hyun, wearing his most displeased expression, looked out the window discontentedly. He really didn’t like Seo Jeong-woon making unilateral decisions regarding areas of his personal life. Do Yi-hyun kept his mouth firmly shut until they arrived at their destination.

Undaunted by the curt response, Seo Jeong-woon persistently kept talking.

“Mr. Yi-hyun, look here.”

Just as Do Yi-hyun was about to get out of the car, Seo Jeong-woon suddenly grabbed the seatbelt buckle, obstructing him.

“Please remove your hand.”

Do Yi-hyun said indifferently without looking at Seo Jeong-woon.

“Hurry up.”

But Seo Jeong-woon urged him in an ingratiating tone. A silent standoff ensued. It was clear Seo Jeong-woon would stubbornly hold out until Do Yi-hyun looked at him.

Swallowing a sigh, Do Yi-hyun reluctantly turned his head. Peck. In an instant, Seo Jeong-woon’s soft lips lightly touched Do Yi-hyun’s cheek before pulling away.

This wasn’t even absorbing pheromones through the mucous membrane. It was, quite literally, just a simple peck.

“……What on earth are you doing?”Do Yi-hyun, greatly flustered, rubbed his cheek with the back of his hand and leaned his upper body back. Even so, blocked by the car door, he couldn’t run far away.

‘What does this mean?’

Do Yi-hyun’s deep black pupils trembled finely. For a couple who had even had sex, making a fuss over a single kiss was ridiculous, but he and Seo Jeong-woon were by no means on terms for affectionate skinship. The spot where Seo Jeong-woon’s lips had touched burned, and perhaps because he was too startled, his chest felt queasy.

Above all, he himself, being this agitated, was the most confusing.

‘Am I feeling displeased right now?’

But he wasn’t particularly angry.

“Because you’re cute. You’re being sulky.”

Seo Jeong-woon, tilting his head, whispered softly. It seemed Seo Jeong-woon just wanted to tease him. He wasn’t even particularly fun to react to, so it was only puzzling why he kept playing strange pranks.

“…….”

Do Yi-hyun quietly furrowed his brows. Cute, pretty—every time Seo Jeong-woon talked nonsense, he had no idea how to respond.

“Let’s go up.”

Struggling to hold a conversation with someone who didn’t get it was inefficient. So Do Yi-hyun simply changed the subject.

“You’re not embarrassed, are you?”

The smile hanging on Seo Jeong-woon’s lips deepened further.

“No.”

“Haha, if you keep acting this cute, it’s troublesome.”

No matter how serious he tried to be, it had no effect on Seo Jeong-woon. Do Yi-hyun let out a light sigh and, instead of correcting him again, got out of the car. Then, without waiting for Seo Jeong-woon, he walked with wide strides.

“Let’s go together, Yi-hyun.”

He had intended to take the elevator up first, but Seo Jeong-woon skillfully caught up.

“Are you very hungry?”

“Not really.”

“Ah, good.”

As Do Yi-hyun slowly shook his head, Seo Jeong-woon’s face brightened. Clearly, he was plotting some strange scheme on his own again. Sure enough.

As soon as they entered the house, Seo Jeong-woon gently pushed Do Yi-hyun against the wall.

“Suddenly, ugh, why….”

Do Yi-hyun, momentarily off guard at Seo Jeong-woon’s usual beaming smile, ended up helplessly trapped in his embrace. The complaint that naturally burst out was blocked by Seo Jeong-woon’s moist lips. Do Yi-hyun reflexively clenched his teeth.

Seo Jeong-woon persistently sucked on Do Yi-hyun’s lips. Then, as if urging, he bit the lower lip.

“Ugh, ah.”

After struggling briefly, Do Yi-hyun soon obediently opened his mouth. Though Seo Jeong-woon acting willfully was unpleasant, he needed to absorb pheromones through the mucous membrane anyway. Whether he kissed now or later, there wasn’t much difference.

He felt Seo Jeong-woon’s lips curl slightly. At the same time, a hot tongue invaded Do Yi-hyun’s mouth. But Seo Jeong-woon didn’t release any pheromones.

‘This isn’t treatment!’

Just like the earlier peck, it had turned into kissing Seo Jeong-woon.

“Ugh, uh, ah!”

Losing his composure, Do Yi-hyun forcefully struck Seo Jeong-woon’s shoulder with his fist. But Seo Jeong-woon, holding Do Yi-hyun’s chin, continued the kiss. Tracing along the even teeth, he found Do Yi-hyun’s stiffened tongue and chewed it with his front teeth.

‘The sound is too….’

Do Yi-hyun repeatedly pushed against Seo Jeong-woon’s chest, distorting his straight eyes. Perhaps because he was sober, the sticky sound was too vividly audible. Even without smelling pheromones, as the deep kiss continued, pleasure gradually began to rise.

Each time Seo Jeong-woon thrust his tongue in, his waist naturally arched. The resistance to escape the embrace also gradually weakened. Do Yi-hyun tightly closed his eyes and clenched his fists.

Once his hearing became heightened, even the sound of clothing brushing against each other returned as sexual stimulation. He resented his body, which kept heating up contrary to his will. Seo Jeong-woon followed the retreating Do Yi-hyun, forcibly entangling their tongues and slowly stroked his nape.

Do Yi-hyun stiffened his shoulders with a start. Goosebumps rose wherever the long fingers touched. After persistently exploring Do Yi-hyun’s lips for a long while, Seo Jeong-woon finally raised his head.

Do Yi-hyun’s clear pupils had become clouded with pleasure. It seemed at least thirty minutes had passed.

“Haa, haa.”

Do Yi-hyun glared at the tall man while gasping for breath.

“Sorry. You were so cute, I couldn’t hold back.”

Seo Jeong-woon planted another kiss on the corner of Do Yi-hyun’s mouth and spouted nonsense again. He seemed to have taken a liking to making absurd jokes.

‘Calling that an excuse.’

He wanted to argue point by point, but he was out of breath and couldn’t manage it. Do Yi-hyun irritably grabbed Seo Jeong-woon’s clothes.

“Ah, ugh.”

As if that were a signal, Seo Jeong-woon bit Do Yi-hyun’s lips again. Simultaneously, the familiar pheromones dizzyingly overwhelmed Do Yi-hyun. Barely holding on, Do Yi-hyun’s legs went weak.

“You should be careful.”

Seo Jeong-woon, grinning, lifted Do Yi-hyun while keeping their lips locked. Each time Seo Jeong-woon stepped on the floor, their touching lips thumped. With the changed position, Do Yi-hyun could stop the kiss anytime he wanted now.

‘……I can’t stop.’

But Do Yi-hyun tightly clung to Seo Jeong-woon’s shoulders. Even instinctively tilting his head to chase the pleasure, accepting him more deeply. Even after releasing pheromones and giving him a choice, there was nothing Do Yi-hyun could change.

It was utterly despicable. Seo Jeong-woon laid Do Yi-hyun on the sofa and climbed on top of him. Without parting their lips for even a moment, he began to undo Do Yi-hyun’s neat attire.

In an instant, Do Yi-hyun’s jacket and vest were tossed on the floor. Pop. Pop.

Each time Seo Jeong-woon’s hand brushed by, shirt buttons came undone, revealing pale skin.

“Haa, this much, ngh!”

Do Yi-hyun tried to reasonably dissuade Seo Jeong-woon. If the skinship continued beyond this, it was as clear as day that he would be swept up by instinct again, leading to shameful acts. Then, as if scolding him, Seo Jeong-woon tightly bit Do Yi-hyun’s tongue.

It wasn’t enough to draw blood, but it stung enough to startle.

“You always just say you’re fine. I don’t believe it.”

Seo Jeong-woon glared at Do Yi-hyun. Actually, since avoiding the kiss, his physical condition had been worsening, so he had nothing to say.

“Behave.”Seo Jeong-woon, with a suggestive smile, planted a few kisses on Do Yi-hyun’s firm cheek before sitting up. He traced his fingertips along the crisp collar of Yi-hyun’s shirt. Even though it wasn’t touching his skin directly, a shiver ran down his spine.

“It’s amazing every time I see you. How are you always so perfect, Yi-hyun? It just makes me want to mess you up.”

Seo Jeong-woon stuck out his flushed tongue and licked his lower lip. Do Yi-hyun found his gaze naturally stolen away. In that brief moment of distraction, Seo Jeong-woon unbuttoned Yi-hyun’s shirt down to his solar plexus.

“Just kissing is enough.”

Do Yi-hyun, barely regaining his composure, grabbed Seo Jeong-woon’s wrist. The mere touch made his mouth go completely dry. Even taking deep breaths of the fragrant pheromones did little to quench the burning thirst.

Do Yi-hyun’s focus began to blur.

“I told you. You need to relieve some of that sexual tension too. Just leave it to me.”

Seo Jeong-woon showed no signs of backing down. He pulled Do Yi-hyun’s hand and pressed a kiss to his palm. Do Yi-hyun drew in a sharp breath.

“Why are you so pretty, Yi-hyun?”

Seo Jeong-woon mumbled against Do Yi-hyun’s palm, his pronunciation unclear. His gaze, sweeping over the exposed chest, was unbearably hot.

“There’s not a single part of you that isn’t pretty. Really…”

Seo Jeong-woon trailed off ambiguously, then, as if unable to hold back, bent down. He began planting kisses everywhere—on cheeks and lips, of course, but also on hair, earlobes, nape, and collarbone.

There wasn’t a spot Seo Jeong-woon’s lips didn’t touch.

“Ah, hh…”

Was it because his body was already so sensitive? Do Yi-hyun was as aroused as if they were sharing a deep kiss. Seo Jeong-woon, watching him with a rather satisfied expression, slowly lowered his head.

He licked the nape with a rough tongue, then sank his teeth into the straight line of the collarbone.

“No… marks, ngh.”

Even while panting from the uncontrollable pleasure, Do Yi-hyun hurriedly tried to lift Seo Jeong-woon’s head. His strength failed him, resulting in a couple of clumsy attempts. Seo Jeong-woon looked up with a pout.

“It doesn’t matter if I leave marks where they can’t be seen, right? Isn’t that so?”

Seo Jeong-woon began to whine stubbornly, nuzzling Do Yi-hyun’s neck.

“There’s no reason to leave such things.”

“Why is there no reason? I want to leave them.”

“That’s…”

Faced with such brazen confidence, Do Yi-hyun was left speechless. He could almost hear a creaking sound in his head.

“Really not allowed?”

Seo Jeong-woon lowered his eyes pitifully and tilted his head. He knew exactly how his appearance affected others. He was clearly putting on an act on purpose.

“……”

But perhaps because the heat had rushed excessively to his head, or because the dazzling backlight spilling over Seo Jeong-woon’s shoulders looked like a halo… Do Yi-hyun couldn’t bring himself to coldly refuse the pitiful request.

“Haha.”

Do Yi-hyun’s silence, coming from someone with clear likes and dislikes, was no different from a tacit agreement. Knowing this, Seo Jeong-woon happily rubbed his lips against Do Yi-hyun’s cheek. With a mischievous smile, Seo Jeong-woon grasped Do Yi-hyun’s chest, tracing the gentle curve with long fingers.

Then, without warning, he took a nipple into his mouth.

“Wait, there, ahh!”

A vivid stimulation arose from a spot he usually wasn’t even aware of.

“Ah, hh…”

Overwhelmed by an indescribable sensation, Do Yi-hyun parted his lips and exhaled a ragged breath. The shirt, already wide open from the rough movements, slipped down over his firm shoulders.

“Nghh.”

Even with his jaw clenched, moans kept leaking through the gaps. Do Yi-hyun couldn’t bear the sharp sensation climbing up his spine and kicked his legs. Just from offering his chest, his lower abdomen burned hot and his backside grew damp.

Despite his rough resistance, Seo Jeong-woon managed to pin down Do Yi-hyun’s shoulders and knees, then persistently sucked on his perky chest. It was only after a long while that Seo Jeong-woon lifted his head with a rather satisfied expression. The small nipple stood erect, and neat tooth marks remained around the flushed areola.

“Haha, you’ve become more sensitive than before.”

Seo Jeong-woon swept his slightly tousled hair back and playfully pressed down on Do Yi-hyun’s nipple with his thumbnail.

“Ah, ugh!”

Do Yi-hyun bit his lower lip hard and scraped his nails down the sofa leather. Intoxicated by the sweet and bitter pheromones, Do Yi-hyun was now so weak that all he could do was twitch. Even without being held down forcefully, he couldn’t muster the courage to escape from under Seo Jeong-woon.

“Ah, so cute.”

Seo Jeong-woon chuckled softly and lowered his head again. At that, Do Yi-hyun’s ears flushed red. He wished Seo Jeong-woon would stop calling him cute.

But knowing that if he asked, Seo Jeong-woon would only call him cute at the end of every sentence, he couldn’t even open his mouth. Seo Jeong-woon persistently tormented only one nipple. He licked it with his tongue, gently bit it with his front teeth, then pursed his lips and sucked hard.

The stimulation was relentless. Meanwhile, the other nipple received no attention at all. However, his senses had become so heightened that his waist involuntarily jerked every time the hem of his shirt brushed against it.

“Ugh, hahk.”

Do Yi-hyun threw his head back and clenched his fists tightly. Otherwise, he felt like he might start fidgeting with the neglected nipple himself. He couldn’t let Seo Jeong-woon see such a messy sight.

Despite his firm resolve, Do Yi-hyun repeatedly raised his clenched fist on impulse, only to barely lower it again. The fragrant pheromones gradually numbed his brain. Seo Jeong-woon kept his long eyelashes lowered, never taking his mouth off Do Yi-hyun’s chest for a moment.

He licked at Do Yi-hyun’s nipple as if it were a sweet candy, with sincere dedication. It was a truly bizarre sight.

“What’s wrong?”

Noticing the strange gaze, Seo Jeong-woon casually lifted his head. He licked his moist lower lip while gently stroking Do Yi-hyun’s areola with his thumb.

“…Nothing comes out.”

Do Yi-hyun swallowed his saliva, swept a hand over his face, and spat out the words. It was still too early for his mammary glands to be active. It was utterly shameful to have to say this with his own mouth.

“Hmm, I know.”

Seo Jeong-woon smiled slyly, as if something pleased him greatly. Though the meaning was to not pay attention to his chest, he stuck out his reddened tongue and licked up the other areola.

“Ah…!”

One side was a rough tongue, the other a firm fingertip. As stimulation hit both breasts simultaneously, Do Yi-hyun unknowingly squirmed his waist. He ended up rubbing his genitals against Seo Jeong-woon’s thigh, but he couldn’t stop himself.

Given that he had virtually no sexual desire until now, his exposure to pleasure was extremely rare. Whenever he experienced such intense sexual sensations as now, Do Yi-hyun didn’t know how to react.

“Are you doing hip movements for me now? How naughty.”

Though an Omega doing hip movements for an Alpha should be displeasing, Seo Jeong-woon laughed happily and subtly pressed down on Do Yi-hyun’s genitals with his thigh. Meanwhile, his hand gently stroked down Do Yi-hyun’s well-defined abs.

“Huh, ahuk.”

At that ticklish touch, Do Yi-hyun trembled helplessly. Was this what a trait was? His rationality was gradually dulling, and he felt like he was losing himself.

In that emptiness, Seo Jeong-woon’s presence slowly began to fill the void.

“Ha. Why are you so sweet, Lee Hyun-ssi?”

Seo Jeong-woon kept biting Do Yi-hyun like a beast gnashing its teeth. His once pale, white skin was now covered in red marks.

“Kheuh, ah, ugh.”

Do Yi-hyun swallowed his suppressed moans and tensed his lower abdomen. His genitals were swelling with blood as if he were about to ejaculate, even though they hadn’t been touched. He was overly excited, his mind growing hazy.

Do Yi-hyun shifted his wandering gaze to look at Seo Jeong-woon. Even in his blurred, unfocused vision, Seo Jeong-woon shone brightly. In contrast to his own disheveled state, Seo Jeong-woon looked neat and tidy.

“Are you finally looking at me?”

Seo Jeong-woon smiled, narrowing his eyes as if he had been waiting. Instead of responding, Do Yi-hyun curled his lips and bit them. The persistent, piercing gaze of Seo Jeong-woon felt burdensome.

Seo Jeong-woon stimulated him and observed every reaction, making Do Yi-hyun feel like an experimental subject being watched—an unpleasant sensation.

‘…How shameful.’

Do Yi-hyun gritted his teeth. His grayish-brown eyes remained clear, showing no sign of excitement. Even in this situation, being unilaterally manipulated hurt his pride and was disappointing.

But wanting Seo Jeong-woon to get excited was…

“Focus on me.”

“Ugh.”

At that moment, Seo Jeong-woon bit Do Yi-hyun’s earlobe. Then, naturally, he brought his hand to the waistband of Do Yi-hyun’s pants.

“There, you can’t.”

Do Yi-hyun urgently tried to stop Seo Jeong-woon. For some reason, his arousal was unusually high today. If his genitals were stimulated further, he felt he wouldn’t be able to hold back.

The last remnants of Do Yi-hyun’s rationality sent a warning.

“Don’t worry. I have no intention of putting it in.”

But Seo Jeong-woon cut him off with a cold, decisive tone, pushing Do Yi-hyun’s hand away.

‘What misconception did I have?’

Do Yi-hyun’s mind went blank. Even if he couldn’t control his sexual desire, there was no way things would progress with Seo Jeong-woon. Seo Jeong-woon wouldn’t be aroused at all.

For a moment, his rationality numbed, and he forgot. That this, too, was merely part of the treatment. Seo Jeong-woon was simply helping him relieve his sexual desire for the sake of the child.

Moreover, he was only amused by Do Yi-hyun’s degradation and couldn’t possibly harbor any other feelings. Do Yi-hyun covered his eyes with his arm, blocking his vision. He didn’t want to see Seo Jeong-woon.

Just as he had undone his shirt, Seo Jeong-woon skillfully stripped off Do Yi-hyun’s pants and underwear. Fully aroused, Do Yi-hyun’s genitals had swelled in size. However, unlike before, they couldn’t stand erect and hung limply, dripping clear fluid from the tip.

The genitals of a pregnant male Omega couldn’t achieve a firm erection. It was a fact he had learned, but experiencing it firsthand felt quite alien.

“Wow.”

Seo Jeong-woon let out a playful exclamation and carefully grasped Do Yi-hyun’s reddened, swollen genitals with his large hand.

“Now it’s really soft even when erect.”

He fondled Do Yi-hyun’s genitals as he pleased. Every time Seo Jeong-woon applied pressure with his fingers, the skin sank in.

“Kheuh, ah-uh…”

Do Yi-hyun closed his eyes and let out a sweet moan. He could sense interest and curiosity in Seo Jeong-woon’s touch. It was obvious he was looking down at him with the same indifferent gaze as before.

He didn’t want to see himself being treated like a toy.

“Why do you keep covering up? I want to see your face.”

But Seo Jeong-woon grabbed Do Yi-hyun’s elbow and forcibly pulled it down. Even then, he didn’t stop quickly stroking Do Yi-hyun’s genitals. If his chest alone had felt that way, receiving direct stimulation on his genitals made his entire body feel like it was melting.

Do Yi-hyun could barely hold back from ejaculating, let alone resist. Clenching his eyes shut, he turned his head to the side.

“Huh, rather, to the bed, ugh.”

Do Yi-hyun helplessly squirmed his waist in response to Seo Jeong-woon’s movements, muttering as if pleading. The sofa wasn’t a space for intertwining bodies. Moreover, Seo Jeong-woon’s living room was too open.

Beyond shame, he felt uneasy. Though unlikely, it felt as if someone might be secretly hiding and watching this vulgar spectacle.

“Are you testing how far my patience can hold out now?”

But Seo Jeong-woon refused in a low, subdued voice. At that cold tone, Do Yi-hyun gritted his teeth. While a hotel might be different, sharing such intimate skinship with an unwanted Omega on his own bed would naturally be unpleasant.

He understood logically, but his chest felt stifled as if blocked. He couldn’t tell if his heart was racing from excitement or from being rebuked. Despite flatly rejecting Do Yi-hyun’s request, Seo Jeong-woon grabbed his knees and spread them wide apart, pushing between them.

Seo Jeong-woon lightly stroked Do Yi-hyun’s intermittently trembling thighs, then suddenly bit down hard on the tender flesh.

“Huh-uh!”

Do Yi-hyun let out a high-pitched moan and twisted his waist violently. A different kind of pleasure, eerie and chilling, surged up. Seo Jeong-woon restrained Do Yi-hyun to keep him from moving and continued leaving red marks on the inner thighs.

Then, he sucked on Do Yi-hyun’s firm skin, chewing on it repeatedly. Seo Jeong-woon had invaded yet another place untouched by others. Because it was such a private area, Do Yi-hyun’s genitals brushed against Seo Jeong-woon’s nose bridge and cheek every time he tilted his head.

As if feeling no disgust, Seo Jeong-woon continued his caresses nonchalantly. Ironically, watching his own genitals rub against Seo Jeong-woon’s beautiful face made Do Yi-hyun’s head grow hot. The urge to ejaculate, which he had barely been holding back, reached its limit in the blink of an eye.

“Move aside, stop, ah-uh, huh-uk.”

Do Yi-hyun urgently tried to sit up, struggling to escape Seo Jeong-woon’s grasp. Even ejaculating in Seo Jeong-woon’s mouth before was something he couldn’t accept himself, and if he stayed like this, he would end up spraying semen all over his face.

“It’s fine.”

But Seo Jeong-woon, on the contrary, curved his lips, which were redder than usual, into a seductive smile. Then, he licked the tip of Do Yi-hyun’s glans. His narrowly pursed tongue probed into the urethral opening.

“Ah…!”

Unable to endure the continuous stimulation, Do Yi-hyun finally ejaculated. From the soft tip of his genitals, a pale fluid, more like liquid than semen, gushed out in bursts. The somewhat sticky fluid clung to Seo Jeong-woon’s lush eyelashes before dripping down his smooth cheeks to his chin.

‘What have I done…’

Do Yi-hyun was engulfed in immense self-loathing. Frozen stiff, unable to even move his lips, he stared at the semen staining Seo Jeong-woon’s face. If he apologized, it wasn’t as if he had any reason to be ashamed of ejaculating on someone else’s face if Seo Jeong-woon hadn’t done such strange things.

But acting shamelessly made his stomach churn.

“Haha.”

Yet Seo Jeong-woon laughed amiably and rubbed his cheek against Do Yi-hyun’s genitals.

“What on earth are you doing, ugh!”

Do Yi-hyun tried to flee in shock, but he couldn’t move an inch due to the hand gripping his pelvis. More precisely, it was because of Seo Jeong-woon’s pheromones enveloping him luxuriantly. Helplessly, Do Yi-hyun watched the sight of his own genitals touching Seo Jeong-woon’s distinct features.

He was swept up in an indescribable sense of euphoria.

“Lee Hyun-ssi, you like my face, don’t you?”

Seo Jeong-woon lifted his head and declared confidently, without a hint of doubt. It seemed like he was trying to push until it became an established fact.

“…”

Do Yi-hyun simply inhaled Seo Jeong-woon’s pheromones deeply, like someone finding an oasis in the desert. His firm shoulders trembled. Seo Jeong-woon looked down at the dazed Do Yi-hyun and lightly wiped away the semen clinging to the corner of his eye.

Then, he took Do Yi-hyun’s genitals into his mouth.

“Huh-uh, ah…”

At the successive waves of sexual sensation surging right after ejaculation, Do Yi-hyun let out a sweet breath.

“Now, that’s, enough.”

Do Yi-hyun stopped Seo Jeong-woon with a voice trembling pitifully. Perhaps due to the pheromones filling the space, he couldn’t muster strength in his limbs. He felt violated by Seo Jeong-woon both physically and mentally.

“Will once be enough?”

Seo Jeong-woon, slurping his lips, mumbled with unclear pronunciation while keeping Do Yi-hyun’s genitals in his mouth. He seemed to have no intention of stopping, no matter what Do Yi-hyun said. Seo Jeong-woon moved his head back and forth rapidly.

“Ah-ugh!”

Since his body was already heated up, Do Yi-hyun couldn’t hold out for long and ejaculated a second time into Seo Jeong-woon’s mouth. Seo Jeong-woon not only swallowed Do Yi-hyun’s semen but also meticulously licked his trembling genitals. Exhausted, Do Yi-hyun slumped onto the sofa.

But Seo Jeong-woon didn’t let go of Do Yi-hyun’s genitals. Two times became three, and soon three became four. As if his jaw didn’t hurt, Seo Jeong-woon gave no respite after each ejaculation, continuously pushing him.

And just as he had said he had no intention of putting it in, he didn’t touch the back at all.

“Huh-uh, Vice President, please, ah, stop, keut!”

Finally, Seo Jeong-woon drew the word “please” from Do Yi-hyun’s mouth.

It was a declaration no different from surrender. Physiological tears welled up in the corners of Do Yi-hyun’s eyes.

“Vice President?”

Seo Jeong-woon, who had only swallowed the glans, tilted his head and narrowed his eyes. The corners of his eyes were slightly reddened. Every time he spoke, his sharp front teeth barely grazed the softened glans.

It was clearly intentional. Each time, Do Yi-hyun let out a sharp moan.

“Jeong-woon, ssi, huh, Jeong-woon ssi…”

Having completely lost his rationality to the continuous pleasure, Do Yi-hyun had no mind to uphold his pride. He grabbed Seo Jeong-woon’s shoulders and shook his head wildly. Now, if his genitals were touched, he felt pain more than pleasure.

Yet, he kept ejaculating, which was strange. No, could this even be called ejaculation? Do Yi-hyun’s genitals had been dripping thin fluid for a while now.

His buttocks were already soaked. Do Yi-hyun couldn’t bear the emptiness in his back. An Omega’s instinct began to stir.

If Seo Jeong-woon hadn’t flatly stated he had no intention of putting it in, he might have begged to be penetrated from behind long ago, without even thinking of the child.

“Do you want me to stop?”

“Please, ahuk.”

At the continuous pleas, Seo Jeong-woon finally spat out Do Yi-hyun’s genitals. But instead, he wrapped his long fingers around the shaft. Do Yi-hyun’s genitals could no longer even maintain their volume, twitching happily every time Seo Jeong-woon’s touch reached them.

Clearly, the sexual sensation was turning into pain, yet fluid kept dripping from the glans. It felt like his body was no longer his own.

“Release your pheromones. Then I’ll stop.”

But Seo Jeong-woon made an unexpected demand.

“That’s…”

Even in a situation where he had succumbed to instinct, Do Yi-hyun hesitated. In front of Seo Jeong-woon, his incomplete trait became a flaw. He didn’t want to reveal it.

“If you don’t want to, we’ll continue.”

As he hesitated, Seo Jeong-woon parted his reddened lips as if he would swallow his genitals again immediately. If he kept his mouth shut like this, he would clearly have to endure endless, painful sexual sensations.

“…I can’t.”

Reflexively closing his legs, Do Yi-hyun shook his head urgently with a suppressed voice.

“That means you don’t want to.”

Seo Jeong-woon rubbed Do Yi-hyun’s glans with a thoroughly sulky expression.

“It’s not that I won’t, but that I can’t. I don’t know how to handle pheromones.”

Do Yi-hyun confessed the truth with a devastated heart.

“What did you say?”

Seo Jeong-woon’s eyes widened. It seemed he hadn’t expected this at all. And rightly so—those with traits naturally handled pheromones as easily as breathing.

Though Do Yi-hyun had a peculiar constitution, generally, one only temporarily lost the ability to use pheromones when there was some serious mental or physical issue. Yet, Seo Jeong-woon didn’t look at him suspiciously or strangely. He only tilted his head with a curious expression.

At his indifferent reaction, Do Yi-hyun felt relieved inwardly.

‘How much should I explain?’

As Do Yi-hyun slowly chose his words, Seo Jeong-woon leaned his head lightly against Do Yi-hyun’s knee, smiling softly with narrowed eyes. It was a refreshing smile that didn’t suit the situation.

“Then no one knows what your pheromones smell like?”

Seo Jeong-woon asked amiably while still gently stroking Do Yi-hyun’s genitals with one hand. As the stimulation lessened, the pain decreased, and the perception of it as sexual sensation became slightly clearer. His waist trembled involuntarily.

“There, is.”

Do Yi-hyun swallowed a groan and spoke truthfully. Though he had never voluntarily emitted pheromones, during his manifestation, uncontrolled pheromones had leaked out continuously. His mother and the doctor, who had stayed by his side while he suffered from manifestation fever, knew his pheromones.

On the other hand, Do Yi-hyun didn’t know what his own pheromones smelled like. His memories from the manifestation period were completely gone due to high fever, and during heat, if he just took suppressants, no pheromones emerged. He had heard they resembled the scent of figs.

“You even know the person you’re supposedly not close to, who’s said to be special?”

Seo Jeong-woon twisted his lips into a crooked shape and tightly gripped Do Yi-hyun’s genitals.

“I don’t know.”

Joo Na-hye was a Beta, and he hadn’t even met Choi Seon-woo more than a few times. It wasn’t pleasant at all to think of his close friend and step-sibling while exposing his genitals. Do Yi-hyun frowned and grabbed Seo Jeong-woon’s wrist.

“Hmm. I see.”

Seo Jeong-woon nodded indifferently and finally released Do Yi-hyun’s genitals. He slowly crawled up between Do Yi-hyun’s legs. Do Yi-hyun curled his fingers and tightly pressed his lips together.

He looked like a well-fed feline predator leisurely approaching. Seo Jeong-woon playfully rubbed the bridge of his nose against Do Yi-hyun’s distinct jawline.

“But what should I do? I won’t stop until you release your pheromones, Mr. Lee Hyun.”

“Vice President……”

“I told you not to call me that. It kills the mood.”

Seo Jeong-woon pressed down hard on Do Yi-hyun’s lower lip with his thumb. Then he deliberately put on a stern expression.

‘If the mood is ruined, maybe he’ll stop.’

Do Yi-hyun held onto a sliver of hope for a moment, but considering Seo Jeong-woon’s twisted disposition, it seemed impossible. If he called him “Vice President” one more time here, it was clear he’d torment him to the end.

Seo Jeong-woon stared intently at Do Yi-hyun without moving. Judging by how he occasionally tapped the corner of his mouth with his thumb, he clearly wanted Do Yi-hyun to try calling him again.

“……Jeong-woon.”

Do Yi-hyun moved his lips several times before barely managing to utter Seo Jeong-woon’s name. His expression, not to mention his tone, was still awkward and stiff. Still, it flowed out more easily than before.

“Haha.”

As if being called by his name was something special, Seo Jeong-woon burst into a bright smile. Seo Jeong-woon lightly kissed Do Yi-hyun’s cheek as if praising him.

“Let’s stop now.”

Do Yi-hyun muttered in an utterly exhausted voice and turned his head away.

“Didn’t you hear me? I said we’re not done yet.”

“That’s what I should be saying. I clearly told you I can’t do it.”

“I’ll help you.”

After a brief struggle, Seo Jeong-woon made a sudden suggestion.

“What do you mean, ugh.”

Before Do Yi-hyun could properly voice his question, Seo Jeong-woon lowered his head and licked up Do Yi-hyun’s neck. Reflexively, tension filled his entire body. Do Yi-hyun tightly gripped Seo Jeong-woon’s firm shoulders and suppressed a stifled moan.

“Relax.”

Seo Jeong-woon calmly stroked Do Yi-hyun’s forearm and side. Do Yi-hyun’s face twisted in displeasure. He didn’t understand how he was supposed to relax while someone else was touching and caressing his body so freely.

Seo Jeong-woon’s pheromones, which had been quiet for a while, surged violently. The thick floral scent, heavy enough to make breathing difficult, pressed down on Do Yi-hyun.

“Ahh……”

Do Yi-hyun twisted his waist. It felt like he might be crushed by the fragrant pheromones. Seo Jeong-woon continued to covet his healthy body.

Because his senses had become excessively heightened, Do Yi-hyun now found it difficult to distinguish what kind of sensation he was feeling. All he could clearly perceive was Seo Jeong-woon and his pheromones.

“Focus on my pheromones.”

Seo Jeong-woon pressed his forehead against Do Yi-hyun’s and whispered softly. His calm voice echoed loudly in Do Yi-hyun’s mind, which had gone blank. He gazed happily at Do Yi-hyun’s unfocused black eyes and placed his palm near his solar plexus.

“Imagine it spreading out in a circle from your heart, traveling along your collarbone, and escaping through your neck.”

The hot palm circled Do Yi-hyun’s chest and traced his collarbone. It was different from the active touching meant to arouse him. Heat flared up along the path Seo Jeong-woon’s hand had taken.

“Hngk!”

When Seo Jeong-woon finally grabbed Do Yi-hyun’s stiffened neck with one hand, Do Yi-hyun heard something pop inside himself. Simultaneously, a sweet fig scent seeped out profusely. Do Yi-hyun gasped for air and trembled.

A strange fragrance permeated the space that had been filled with Seo Jeong-woon’s scent.

“Ah……”

Seo Jeong-woon, who had abruptly stopped, looked down at Do Yi-hyun with hazy, relaxed eyes. Then, without warning, he bit down hard on the area connecting his neck to his shoulder.

“Kgh!”

Do Yi-hyun roughly jerked his head away. Seo Jeong-woon’s teeth marks and handprints were already densely imprinted on Do Yi-hyun’s pale skin. Since Seo Jeong-woon had controlled his strength enough to leave marks without causing pain, it wasn’t particularly painful.

But this time, because Seo Jeong-woon had bitten down with all his might, Do Yi-hyun’s clenched jaw trembled violently. Physiological tears welled up in his eyes.

“I’m sorry.”

Seo Jeong-woon apologized while chewing on an incomprehensible curse. However, contrary to his apology, he bit Do Yi-hyun’s shoulder again. The force was slightly reduced, but the pain remained.

Yet, Do Yi-hyun couldn’t push him away. No, he didn’t even want to push him away. The unfamiliar sensation of his pheromones leaking out was utterly bewildering.

If he had to describe it, it resembled pleasure but came with a creepy discomfort. It would have been better if it were neutralized by a stinging pain.

“Haa, Mr. Lee Hyun. Mr. Lee Hyun.”

Seo Jeong-woon called Do Yi-hyun affectionately, as if he were a lover he couldn’t live without, and slowly lowered his waist.

“Ugh……”

Do Yi-hyun was greatly flustered by the tight pressure. He felt a hot, heavy presence against his groin. Seo Jeong-woon, who had been impeccably composed just moments ago, showed clear signs of considerable excitement.

Even a half-omega is still an omega, so he was clearly affected by the pheromones. Pheromones don’t always induce excitement in others. They are only effective when there is clear intent.

Do Yi-hyun didn’t know how to control his pheromones, and his disordered pheromones perfectly reflected his highly aroused state. The pheromones, filled with primal desire, were no different from those released during heat.

“Haa, haa.”

Seo Jeong-woon, who had been gnawing on Do Yi-hyun’s straight neck, breathed heavily and slowly raised his head. Slightly furrowed eyebrows, darkly sunken grayish-brown eyes, and flushed lips exhaling hot breath. Seo Jeong-woon, revealing his sexual desire, was so attractive that just looking at him made Do Yi-hyun’s lower abdomen tingle.

The two stared intently at each other for a moment. Their different pheromones rippled before blending into one, scattering a sweet fragrance.

‘I want to.’

Without even realizing what he was thinking, Do Yi-hyun instinctively reached out. His trembling fingers soon touched Seo Jeong-woon’s chin, and Seo Jeong-woon willingly offered his face. Do Yi-hyun swallowed dryly and slowly pulled his arm back.

Seo Jeong-woon followed willingly again, without any resistance. Do Yi-hyun lowered his gaze with a stubborn expression and kissed him. The moment their lips met, the two frantically explored each other’s mouths, neither taking the lead.

They didn’t mind their teeth clashing as they sought stronger pleasure, tilting their heads. The deep, wet kiss was on a level that could be called intercourse. By now, Seo Jeong-woon’s familiar pheromones and body scent filled Do Yi-hyun’s lungs.

The sensations he had forgotten began to slowly revive. The arms that had crushed him in an embrace. The relentless heat that had driven him on.

The pleasure that had resonated strongly in his stomach.

‘It’s still not enough. More, more…….’

Do Yi-hyun frantically tugged at Seo Jeong-woon’s clothes. He wanted his Alpha to mess him up thoroughly. The more excited Do Yi-hyun became, the stronger the fig scent grew.

Everything about Seo Jeong-woon constantly stimulated Do Yi-hyun.

“At this rate, I might even go into rut.”

Seo Jeong-woon slowly pulled his lips away and chuckled. He grabbed the chin of Do Yi-hyun, who was looking up at him with a completely relaxed face. Even though he knew Do Yi-hyun desperately wanted a kiss, Seo Jeong-woon playfully licked his ear.

“Ahh.”

At the wet sound echoing in his ear, Do Yi-hyun threw his head back. Then, he rubbed the back of his head against the soft leather of the sofa. Seo Jeong-woon gently scraped Do Yi-hyun’s protruding Adam’s apple with his front teeth.

Click. In his dazed state, he heard the sound of a belt buckle being undone. Do Yi-hyun unconsciously glanced down.

After Seo Jeong-woon moved his hand a few times, a menacingly erect penis revealed itself through the open fly. Seo Jeong-woon’s penis stood stiffly, as if it would touch his lower abdomen at any moment. Thick veins stood out distinctly, mismatching his delicate face.

Moreover, its size was questionable whether it could fit in one hand. It resembled a weapon more than a penis.

“If you stare like that, I’ll get embarrassed.”

Seo Jeong-woon said this while slightly adjusting his posture to make it easier for Do Yi-hyun to look. Do Yi-hyun couldn’t take his eyes off the twitching penis.

“Ahh……”

Faced with a fully intact Alpha’s penis, Do Yi-hyun unconsciously spread his thighs slightly and lifted his waist shallowly. Do Yi-hyun’s hole had been leaking fluid since earlier, even without any touch. It seemed ready to willingly accept that massive penis even if Seo Jeong-woon just poked it with the glans.

Do Yi-hyun let out a low groan. He wanted to cling to Seo Jeong-woon and beg him to put it inside him right away. As if impatient, the entrance even twitched.

Just as Do Yi-hyun, unable to bear it, reached out to Seo Jeong-woon.

“Ah.”

Seo Jeong-woon grabbed the sofa armrest beside Do Yi-hyun’s head and sat up. Then, he quickly stroked his own penis with his large hand. He had started masturbating right in front of Do Yi-hyun.

Do Yi-hyun stared blankly at the sight as if entranced. It was too stimulating and erotic. Seo Jeong-woon, biting his lower lip tightly, roughly kneaded Do Yi-hyun’s exposed chest and occasionally poked his soft genitals with his rock-hard glans.

He gazed at Do Yi-hyun’s nearly naked body as if licking it. The corners of Do Yi-hyun’s eyes turned red. It was shameful and embarrassing, yet for some reason, he felt a sense of pride.

“Lend me your hand.”

Seo Jeong-woon slightly wrinkled the bridge of his nose. Perhaps because he was excited, the end of his voice cracked slightly. Do Yi-hyun unconsciously raised his hand.

Seo Jeong-woon snatched Do Yi-hyun’s wrist and brought it to his penis.

“Ugh.”

Do Yi-hyun squinted one eye at the scorching heat felt on his palm. Strangely, just holding another’s penis made blood rush to his own genitals.

“Squeeze it tighter. Yeah, like that.”

Seo Jeong-woon placed his hand over Do Yi-hyun’s and skillfully moved his waist. It looked as if he were penetrating something. Do Yi-hyun curled his fingers as requested.

As expected, it didn’t fit entirely in one hand. Swish, swish. Each time the massive penis passed between his fingers, his inner walls trembled.

As if nearing climax, Seo Jeong-woon’s movements gradually sped up. Even at the moment of reaching his peak, Seo Jeong-woon persistently stared down at Do Yi-hyun while tightly gripping his thigh.

“Hoo……”

A gush of white liquid spilled messily onto Do Yi-hyun’s stomach. Hot semen continued to flow out each time Seo Jeong-woon stroked his still-erect shaft. The sticky fluid soon trickled sideways along Do Yi-hyun’s clearly defined abdominal muscles.

Perhaps driven mad by the heat occupying his mind, for a moment, Do Yi-hyun felt it was a waste.

“Haha, what a mess.”

If he hadn’t heard Seo Jeong-woon’s laughter, he might have tried to block the semen from flowing down. Do Yi-hyun moved his disobedient head to look at Seo Jeong-woon. In fact, right after Seo Jeong-woon reached his climax, Do Yi-hyun’s penis also released a small amount of clear, watery fluid.

Excessive ejaculation brought a sense of exhaustion and helplessness. Seo Jeong-woon, with a strange smile, sighed deeply as he stroked Do Yi-hyun’s lower abdomen, smeared with his own fluid, with his thumb. Then, he rubbed his lips against Do Yi-hyun’s limp neck.

The short, intensely released fig-scented pheromones were already subsiding. In contrast, Seo Jeong-woon’s pheromones still enveloped Do Yi-hyun, writhing dynamically.

‘Why…….’

Why isn’t he putting it in? A wave of resentment surged. However, instead of begging Seo Jeong-woon, Do Yi-hyun gritted his teeth.

It was clear that his omega instincts had erupted in a strange direction due to the pheromones. But the vivid displeasure wasn’t easily erased. Something—whether self-loathing or pride—tore at Do Yi-hyun.

Do Yi-hyun covered his face with his palm to hide his stiffened mouth.

“Shall I wash you?”

In contrast, Seo Jeong-woon smiled brightly with his usual demeanor, stroking Do Yi-hyun’s side.

“No need.”

Do Yi-hyun pushed Seo Jeong-woon away and stood up. His legs trembled from the persistent caresses that had continued his ejaculation. Unidentifiable fluid, whose it was, trickled down the inside of his thighs.

Nevertheless, Do Yi-hyun straightened his back and resolutely walked toward the bathroom. Seo Jeong-woon sat motionless on the sofa until Do Yi-hyun’s back completely disappeared. Barely reaching the bathroom, Do Yi-hyun slumped down as soon as he closed the door.

“Hh, ugh.”

Gritting his teeth, Do Yi-hyun trembled finely. Just from walking briefly, the still-unsubsided sexual sensation surged up. Above all, Seo Jeong-woon’s pheromones, smeared all over his body, kept clouding his mind.

Do Yi-hyun irritably grabbed his still-erect penis tightly.

“Kgh……”

Though he deliberately caused sharp pain, his body, consumed by instinct, rejoiced. Do Yi-hyun unconsciously glanced at the firmly closed bathroom door. He wanted to crawl out of the bathroom and beg Seo Jeong-woon to penetrate him.

Why did he have to endure this distant heat alone when his Alpha was right there?

‘My Alpha?’

Instantly, as if doused with cold water, his mind cleared.

‘Vice President Seo is not my Alpha.’

Do Yi-hyun shook his head vigorously in strong denial. He knew Alphas and Omegas were weak to sexual desire, but he never imagined he could lose his rationality to this extent. He was horrified by his own weakness, crumbling over mere pleasure.

Lying face down on the cold floor, Do Yi-hyun closed his eyes and caught his breath for a moment. He forcibly erased from his mind the stinging genitals, the sticky sensation trickling down his lower abdomen, and the itching behind. Barely calmed, Do Yi-hyun stood under lukewarm water for a long time until Seo Jeong-woon’s pheromones, still lingering all over his body, were completely washed away.

Even under the streaming water, his sensitive skin quickly heated up. Though he consciously tried to carve it out, the pleasure deeply etched in his mind wouldn’t easily fade.

“Hoo.”

Do Yi-hyun let out a deep sigh and wiped his face. The persistently caressing hands. The fervently gazing grayish-brown eyes.

The low groaning voice. His mind was filled with Seo Jeong-woon. Waiting for his sharpened senses to dull, it took Do Yi-hyun a long time to finish his shower.

A new set of pajamas was placed in front of the bathroom. This time, the top wasn’t tight. Instead, it was too big and loose.

The neckline was so deep that if he bent his waist wrong, even his stomach would be visible. Do Yi-hyun looked at himself awkwardly in the mirror. His exposed collarbone and chest area were a mess with marks left by Seo Jeong-woon.

Fortunately, they were in positions that could barely be hidden if he wore a shirt properly. Examining the colorful marks, Do Yi-hyun lightly pressed the clearly imprinted teeth marks on his collarbone. A faint pain arose.

Simultaneously, the image of Seo Jeong-woon burying his face in his neck, licking and biting, crept into his mind.

“Ugh.”

Do Yi-hyun hastily removed his hand. Then, he adjusted the collar discontentedly.

‘Why does Vice President Seo do things like this?’

Judging by how he had prepared a suit that fit perfectly as if custom-made, Seo Jeong-woon couldn’t possibly not know his size. Was it amusing to see him in ill-fitting clothes? Do Yi-hyun left the bathroom with an awkward expression.

Seo Jeong-woon was bustling around near the dining table. While Do Yi-hyun had been struggling to calm down, Seo Jeong-woon must have washed up too, as he was dressed in comfortable clothes.

“That took a while. See, I told you I’d help.”

Sensing his presence, Seo Jeong-woon turned around quickly. Unlike Do Yi-hyun, who was highly guarded, Seo Jeong-woon smiled brightly with his usual demeanor.

“That suits you well too.”

Seo Jeong-woon, who had approached closely, nodded in satisfaction. Though he noticed the distinct gaze lingering around his collarbone and chest, Do Yi-hyun pretended not to notice and averted his eyes.

“Come here. We need to eat dinner.”

Seo Jeong-woon didn’t mind at all that Do Yi-hyun hadn’t uttered a word and affectionately wrapped his arm around his waist. Then, he led him to the lavishly set table. As they got closer, a delicious smell wafted out.

He was so out of his mind that he hadn’t realized it, but he was quite hungry. Do Yi-hyun glanced toward the sofa as he walked. Whether Seo Jeong-woon had cleaned up or not, there was no trace left.

However, remembering being tangled up with Seo Jeong-woon on it made him feel awkward.

‘What am I doing right now?’

Do Yi-hyun ground his teeth. The more his rationality returned, the more confused he became. His already stoic expression grew even stiffer.

“Eat quickly.”

In contrast, Seo Jeong-woon rested his chin on his hand and smiled brightly. It might have been due to a simple mood, but somehow he seemed in a better mood than usual. Do Yi-hyun reluctantly picked up his spoon.

He was hungry, but perhaps because his mind was a mess, he didn’t have much of an appetite. Still, for the baby’s sake, he forced himself to eat. Even then, Do Yi-hyun’s gaze kept drifting toward Seo Jeong-woon.

“Try this too. It’ll be delicious.”

Seo Jeong-woon cut a square piece of fish and placed it on Do Yi-hyun’s spoon.

“…I can do it myself.”

“I know. But I wanted to do it for you.”

Seo Jeong-woon grinned. Every time he saw that charming smile, Do Yi-hyun felt something squirming deep in his gut. A dark, persistent emotion.

It was clearly possessiveness. Generally, Alphas have strong possessiveness, and Omegas feel stability from that obsession. But he had heard that very rarely, there are Omegas with possessiveness as strong as an Alpha’s.

Do Yi-hyun secretly swallowed a bitter laugh. It seemed he was that unusual case. Somehow, none of his traits were ordinary.

‘There’s a limit to delusions. Get a grip.’

Do Yi-hyun brushed back his still-damp hair and denied it again. Seo Jeong-woon was absolutely not his Alpha. He was just receiving temporary help.

But perhaps because he had lost his composure, it wasn’t easy to control his heart.

‘It’s better not to look.’

Do Yi-hyun, with his lips tightly pressed together, forcibly turned his head away from Seo Jeong-woon.

“Is there something on my face?”

But not long after, Seo Jeong-woon tilted his head and asked. He had tried not to look at him, but it seemed futile. Seeing Seo Jeong-woon with his eyes wide open, Do Yi-hyun felt flustered.

“…It’s nothing.”

Do Yi-hyun forced himself to lower his head. Seo Jeong-woon’s pale face flickered over the white rice. At first, it was a shimmering, blunt mass, but gradually it took on a clearer form.

Yet it couldn’t compare to Seo Jeong-woon’s actual beauty.

‘I want to see him.’

Unable to overcome his instincts, Do Yi-hyun glanced at Seo Jeong-woon again. Seo Jeong-woon smiled with his eyes as if he knew Do Yi-hyun would look again.

“If you want to see me, feel free to look. I just asked because I was curious why you were paying attention elsewhere while eating.”

Whether he meant it or not, Seo Jeong-woon looked quite pleased. He still liked seeing Do Yi-hyun act differently than usual.

“That’s not it.”

Do Yi-hyun strongly denied it again and gripped his spoon tightly. Yet, until he finished the bowl, he kept stealing glances at Seo Jeong-woon. With his mind elsewhere, he couldn’t even taste what or how he was eating.

“It’s already this late.”

Seo Jeong-woon, who had gotten up, checked the time and made a regretful expression. Having unintentionally spent a long time on the sofa, it was already time to sleep after finishing the meal. Seo Jeong-woon neatly stacked the empty plates.

Since it was obvious Seo Jeong-woon would insist on helping if he offered, Do Yi-hyun headed straight for the bathroom. Just as Do Yi-hyun finished brushing his teeth and came out, Seo Jeong-woon, who had been waiting in front of the bathroom, suddenly poked his head in.

“Eek.”

Startled, Do Yi-hyun tried to avoid him, but because Seo Jeong-woon released his pheromones, the strength drained from his waist. Seo Jeong-woon caught the staggering Do Yi-hyun in his arms and kissed him.

“Ah, ugh, ah.”

Do Yi-hyun grabbed Seo Jeong-woon’s shoulders tightly and twitched his waist. Even though only their lips touched, an intense sexual sensation instantly revived. It had been barely an hour since he couldn’t even ejaculate, let alone get an erection.

Yet blood rushed to his groin again.

‘It’s not like I’m an animal…’

Do Yi-hyun struggled to stop Seo Jeong-woon. The back that had been excited and then left alone was already becoming damp.

“Don’t. Don’t push me away.”

Seo Jeong-woon rubbed his nose bridge against Do Yi-hyun’s cheek and whispered affectionately. It was a desperate plea that could soften anyone’s heart. Do Yi-hyun clenched his jaw.

Even though he clearly knew it was Seo Jeong-woon’s trick, he couldn’t resist anymore.

“Ah, really…”

Then Seo Jeong-woon muttered lowly and wrapped his arms around Do Yi-hyun’s neck. Finally, only after thoroughly tasting Do Yi-hyun’s lips did Seo Jeong-woon pull away.

“We already did enough earlier.”

Do Yi-hyun wiped his damp mouth with the back of his hand and glared sharply at Seo Jeong-woon. Not just kissing, but more than that. Today, he had absorbed enough pheromones that he didn’t need to absorb any more.

“Ah, that’s right.”

Seo Jeong-woon, still clinging tightly and stroking Do Yi-hyun’s waist, widened his eyes. His feigned forgetfulness was utterly annoying.

“It became a habit, so I made a mistake.”

Seo Jeong-woon tilted his head to the side and smiled slyly.

‘What on earth…’

Do Yi-hyun furrowed his brow. Every word from Seo Jeong-woon’s mouth was impossible to tell if it was sincere or a lie. He wanted to argue further, but for now, Do Yi-hyun was overwhelmed just trying to hide his trembling body.

Having lived thinking he had no sexual desire, it was shocking to discover his body was so weak to pleasure.

“You’re tired, right? Go ahead and sleep. There’s a bit of cleaning left. I’ll finish quickly and come.”

Seo Jeong-woon whispered tenderly and gestured toward the bedroom with his chin.

“…”

Do Yi-hyun stood still in place despite Seo Jeong-woon’s suggestion. It was because he remembered Seo Jeong-woon’s cold eyes when he had coldly refused earlier when Do Yi-hyun suggested going to the bedroom. Perhaps it was pride.

He really didn’t want to walk into Seo Jeong-woon’s bedroom on his own.

“What’s wrong? Should I take you there?”

At the ambiguous response, Seo Jeong-woon, as if seizing the opportunity, tried to wrap his arms around Do Yi-hyun’s shoulders. If left alone, he would clearly pick him up and carry him again.

“No need. I’ll go alone.”

Do Yi-hyun firmly refused and avoided Seo Jeong-woon’s arm. Calmly turning around, Do Yi-hyun walked slowly. He felt a piercing gaze from behind but never looked back.

‘Uneasy.’

Do Yi-hyun scanned the spacious bed with a wary expression. It was a bed he had already slept in several times, but he didn’t want to climb onto it carelessly. Yet he couldn’t sleep on the sofa where they had done such things earlier.

Hesitating for a moment, Do Yi-hyun perched lightly on the edge of the bed. His own self, anxious over trivial matters, felt very unfamiliar.

‘…Do I want to look good to Seo Jeong-woon?’

Of course, it was right to look good to Seo Jeong-woon. Because he needed Seo Jeong-woon to give birth to a healthy baby. But he didn’t need to listen to and care about every word Seo Jeong-woon said.

No, rather than caring…

‘It’s irritating.’

Do Yi-hyun clenched his teeth hard. Both Seo Jeong-woon’s words affecting him and his own caution not to offend Seo Jeong-woon were irritating. Among them, the most irritating was Seo Jeong-woon himself.

He was someone who acted as if he would give his all, yet could turn cold at any moment. His contradictory nature confused Do Yi-hyun.

‘Is it all because of pheromones?’

Do Yi-hyun repeatedly brushed the back of his neck. The sensation of pheromones bursting forth was still vivid. Suddenly feeling possessiveness toward Seo Jeong-woon.

It didn’t make sense unless he was being manipulated by pheromones.

‘Or is it because of hormones?’

They say hormones go haywire during pregnancy, making you do things you normally wouldn’t; maybe he was swept away by having someone to rely on in an unstable situation. Either way, it was an unwelcome change from Do Yi-hyun’s perspective.

“Why are you sitting in the corner instead of resting comfortably? Were you waiting for me?”

While Do Yi-hyun was lost in thought, Seo Jeong-woon returned. He naturally took Do Yi-hyun’s hand and laid him down on the bed. Even when he refused the request to go to the bed earlier, Seo Jeong-woon had seemed a bit angry, but now he was smiling brightly without any reservation.

“Displeased…”

Do Yi-hyun, who was about to ask if it was displeasing for him to use the bed, closed his mouth. Seo Jeong-woon was skilled at hiding his true feelings. There was no need to stir up trouble.

Suppressing his uncomfortable feelings, Do Yi-hyun lay straight on the spot.

“Sleep well.”

Seo Jeong-woon pulled Do Yi-hyun into his embrace as if it were natural. Do Yi-hyun inadvertently buried his face in Seo Jeong-woon’s chest. Each time he breathed in, he felt faint pheromones.

“Let go.”

Do Yi-hyun twisted his waist. Waking up in Seo Jeong-woon’s arms had become an awkward routine whenever he slept at his house, but he disliked clinging to him before sleeping. Being held in someone’s arms and feeling stability from that warmth were unfamiliar sensations to Do Yi-hyun.

“You need to absorb pheromones while sleeping too.”

“I’ve already had enough.”

Do Yi-hyun shook his head and placed his palm on Seo Jeong-woon’s upper abdomen. He meant to push him away, but somehow no strength went into his arms.

“But the more you absorb, the better.”

Seo Jeong-woon stubbornly insisted to the end and pulled Do Yi-hyun into a tight embrace. The more Do Yi-hyun struggled, the tighter Seo Jeong-woon held him. Unintentionally, he ended up rubbing against Seo Jeong-woon’s body.

If this continued, he felt he might get excited again. Feeling troubled, Do Yi-hyun gradually stopped resisting.

“Good, good boy.”

Seo Jeong-woon playfully patted Do Yi-hyun’s lower back.

‘…This feels strange.’

Do Yi-hyun swallowed a sigh and grimaced. He had only mixed bodies with Seo Jeong-woon once. Even that memory was unclear, so he wasn’t sure if it even counted as once.

No matter how little meaning he attached to relationships, Do Yi-hyun couldn’t bring himself to act shamelessly right after exposing their genitals and reaching climax. In contrast, Seo Jeong-woon was more relaxed than usual.

‘How familiar must he be with such things…’

Do Yi-hyun twisted his lips. He had known from the start that Seo Jeong-woon was frivolous. It was obvious just from seeing him hit on a subordinate he coincidentally met at a hotel bar.

‘Come to think of it.’

As he thought that inwardly, Do Yi-hyun suddenly recalled another scene. The day after their one-night stand, Do Yi-hyun had left the hotel calmly as if nothing had happened. Just like Seo Jeong-woon now.

If the incident of feeling possessiveness toward Seo Jeong-woon due to pheromones or hormones earlier hadn’t occurred, Do Yi-hyun might have also brushed off intimate skinship as no big deal. In other words, regardless of whether Seo Jeong-woon was familiar with such behavior, it meant he had no feelings for him. It wasn’t that he didn’t know that fact, but Do Yi-hyun suddenly felt a surge of irritation.

“Haha.”

While Do Yi-hyun was lost in thought, Seo Jeong-woon kissed his jet-black hair and firm cheek. Then he pressed his lips to his temples, the bridge of his nose, and the corners of his mouth.

“What are you doing?”

Do Yi-hyun, his nerves on edge, glared sharply at Seo Jeong-woon in the dark. If left alone, there was no end. Aside from absorbing pheromones, he had no obligation to indulge Seo Jeong-woon’s antics.

“When you see something cute, of course you want to give kisses.”

“Stop talking nonsense.”

“Then don’t be cute, Lee Hyun.”

Seo Jeong-woon shamelessly retorted as usual. Do Yi-hyun was left speechless.

‘I want to have him.’

More than Seo Jeong-woon’s confident attitude, his own self, pleased by those insignificant touches, was the most absurd. Do Yi-hyun secretly clenched his fist. If his instincts were mistaken for some reason, would he return to normal after giving birth and distancing himself from Seo Jeong-woon?

When he was alone in the bathroom, he could suppress it, but being with Seo Jeong-woon made his possessiveness run wild. The disconnect between instinct and reason tormented Do Yi-hyun. Meanwhile, Seo Jeong-woon rubbed his cheek against Do Yi-hyun’s hair and stroked his back.

‘We promised.’

Do Yi-hyun closed his eyes with a devastated heart. Their cooperation was only until the baby was born. He had declared to Seo Jeong-woon that he would leave afterward.

That’s why Seo Jeong-woon was also only lightly showing favor.

‘I wish he were my Alpha.’

This possessiveness was a twisted desire that must never be revealed. Do Yi-hyun didn’t want it either. Even after Seo Jeong-woon fell asleep, Do Yi-hyun tossed and turned for a long time.

Do Yi-hyun buried his face in his broad embrace and took a deep breath. Seo Jeong-woon’s low-lying pheromones filled Do Yi-hyun’s insides. The quiet night was utterly peaceful.
