The long corridor reflected the unique luster of the meticulously maintained wooden floor. Each step left a muddy footprint on it. He didn’t care. Only when Kwon Young-je arrived in front of the room thick with scent did he manage to calm his heaving breath.
A wooden tray was placed in front of the room. A glass of water and a pill. The pill was a pheromone suppressant Kwon Young-je knew well. Both remained untouched, preserving their original appearance.
Hearing the commotion, several employees of the Takano household appeared. Seeing the guest who looked furious at a glance, they could only bow their heads, unsure of what to do.
Kwon Young-je glared at them with fierce eyes before grabbing the doorknob. Rather than asking a third party about the situation, he thought it would be better to see it with his own eyes. The pheromones flowing from beyond the door had already verified Kim Hui-won’s presence.
He roughly turned the doorknob in his hand, but the firmly locked door didn’t budge. Thump, he punched the door with his fist.
“Secretary Kim. Open the door.”
Instead of an answer, only a faint moan was heard. Kwon Young-je repeatedly knocked on the door before kicking the unyielding doorknob with his shoe. The door was on the verge of collapsing from the merciless kicks, and soon the doorknob couldn’t withstand it and fell off.
A sliver of light leaked through the creaking wooden door. Without hesitation, Kwon Young-je burst inside, only to stop short at the unexpected sight.
“…You.”
Kim Hui-won was in heat cycle. That was something he had foreseen. But he never expected to see him in such a disheveled state.
“Ugh, ahh, haa,”
Hui-won was lying on the floor, rubbing his body. His shirt buttons were all undone, and he was scraping his erect nipples against the tatami mats. He moaned continuously as if the rough texture felt good. This was instinct. An act committed out of inability to suppress the surging lust.
As the sweet pheromones unique to an Omega in heat cycle washed over him, Kwon Young-je blocked his nose with the back of his hand. The pheromones of a Dominant Omega, deliberately released, were destructive enough to shatter reason in an instant. He must not be swept away. His eyes immediately turned fierce.
Sensing the presence, Hui-won twisted his head. When an Alpha came into view, he moved his limp limbs and crawled slowly. Before he knew it, he was at Kwon Young-je’s feet, tightly clutching his black trouser leg.
“Pheromones… Haa, quickly, give it to me….”
“Kim Hui-won.”
Even calling his name in a low voice didn’t work. Kim Hui-won clung to Kwon Young-je’s leg, rubbing his hot cheek against it. The gesture of begging to be soaked in Alpha pheromones was almost pitiful.
Kwon Young-je slowly bent his knees and sat down. He peeled the face clinging to his shin away and tightly grabbed Hui-won’s lower jaw.
The other man’s eyes were unfocused, and clear saliva dripped from his half-open lips. His face was flushed red, completely consumed by the heat. His soaked bangs hung limply, clinging to his sweaty forehead in clumps. He was revealing his heat cycle with his whole body.
“Can’t you get a grip?”
Despite the chilling warning, Hui-won only shook his head. He shook off the hand holding his chin and crawled between Kwon Young-je’s legs.
“Haa, quickly, give it to me. This, quickly….”
The hand groping his parted thighs was very urgent. Hui-won found the penis leaning to the right and gasped. Unsatisfied with stroking it through his pants, he reached for the tightly locked buckle.
Kwon Young-je’s expression hardened coldly. Suddenly, revulsion rose up his throat.
‘Put it in. Impregnate me. Spray your semen on me.’
‘Haa, if you don’t want to fuck me, at least watch me do it myself. Ugh, haa.’
What Kim Hui-won was doing was no different from the Omegas who had rushed at him in heat. It was a sight that Kwon Young-je loathed intensely.
“Kim Hui-won!”
He grabbed the open collar of his shirt and pulled him up with force. Hui-won’s face, forcibly pulled up, met Kwon Young-je’s. His face paled at the Alpha pheromones that seemed to carve into his flesh. It seemed that reason had returned for a moment.
“I, I’m…”
The reddened corners of his eyes became wet. It was the first time he had heard such a weak voice. The always upright Secretary Kim was nowhere to be found. He was just a pitiful and pathetic Omega who couldn’t even control his own body.
Hui-won placed a trembling hand on Kwon Young-je’s shoulder. Even if the Alpha in front of him rejected him, he couldn’t dare to abandon his instincts. Even if it was painful, sad, and agonizing, his head tilted. A sweet breath escaped like a sigh.
“Please… help me.”
His lips lightly touched his. The heat, like being branded with a hot iron, and the suppressed trembling flowed directly through the touching lips.
“…….”
Kwon Young-je roughly grabbed Hui-won’s hair. As he pulled back, the touching face was dragged helplessly. The tears that had been welling up helplessly dripped down.
…Shit, a curse word burst out with a rough breath. His brows furrowed involuntarily at the unbearable disgust, and his grip on the hair tightened with force.
Disgusting memories rewind. He had to endure the pain so much that his teeth were grinding as he recalled the days when he had been torn to shreds. If he left him as he was and stormed out, that would be the end, but the gaze that desperately sought only him stubbornly held Kwon Young-je back.
He couldn’t define it as compassion or responsibility. What was certain was that it was an action he would never have taken if it hadn’t been for Kim Hui-won. He swallowed the parted lips in one gulp.
Unable to withstand the onrushing weight, Hui-won lay down on the floor. As the thick bergamot scent washed over him like a huge wave, he lost even the thread of reason he had barely been holding onto. He hugged the broad shoulders and relentlessly sucked on the tongue that filled his mouth. Even that was not enough, and his lower body heaved. He was desperate to rub against him somehow.
Hui-won’s pheromones poured out like a collapsed dam. It felt like he was suffocating from the sweetness that had taken over the air. Kwon Young-je had to struggle not to be dragged into it. While their tongues were intertwined, the tendons on the back of his hand, which was supporting him on the floor, were strained to the fullest.
“Hngh, ugh!”
When Hui-won tried to take off his pants himself, unable to contain his excitement, Kwon Young-je hurriedly untied the tie around his neck. He grabbed the wildly moving wrists and tied them tightly. He couldn’t do it here. He straightened his upper body, picked up the phone that was far away, and called Secretary Song.
“Find a hotel nearby right away.”
“I found Secretary Kim. He’s in heat cycle, so we need to move him without being seen. The location here is…”
Kwon Young-je took a breath for a moment. The pheromones were making his head so dizzy that he couldn’t speak properly. He swept back his disheveled bangs and squeezed his eyes shut before opening them.
He briefly explained the current location to Secretary Song. She seemed to want to ask something more, but Kwon Young-je pressed the end button and pushed the phone back into his jacket. His lower body was heaving. Kim Hui-won couldn’t wait a moment and was grinding his hips against his.
Kwon Young-je slowly scanned the inside of his cheek with his eyes lowered. Was he not even thinking of holding back now? The sight of Hui-won, with his shirt all open and panting without dignity, was very displeasing to him.
He slowly lowered his waist. As if pleased with the weight pressing down on him, Hui-won raised his tied hands and placed them behind Kwon Young-je’s neck. The smooth tie cord rubbed from side to side, scratching Kwon Young-je’s neck.
“I clearly instructed you to stay away. What did you do with Chairman Takano to get into this state?”
“Haa, ugh.”
Any words were just nonsense to someone out of their mind. Hui-won put strength into his wrists and pulled Kwon Young-je’s face towards him. A red tongue was already out to greet him, eagerly awaiting his lips.
“…If you get your senses back, you’ll be properly punished, you know.”
As a warning, Kwon Young-je bit Hui-won’s lower lip hard. The soft flesh tasted so sweet that his tongue tingled. It seemed that the time to solve it with suppressants had long passed. He knew well from experience how painful the burning lust was.
In the end, this was the only way. Kwon Young-je pushed his tongue fully into the slightly opened mouth. He desperately hoped that at least he would maintain his reason.

The car was filled with silence. In the stillness, the navigation’s guidance voice could be heard occasionally, informing the route.
Secretary Song was driving, constantly looking at the front window. It was her first time on this road, and as it was an urgent situation, she couldn’t easily relax.
Still, she was carrying out Executive Director Kwon’s instructions without missing a beat. It wasn’t a 5-star hotel, but she had secured a decent one. She had also checked in in advance, explaining that the guest was in heat cycle.
Suddenly, a breathless gasp was heard from the back seat. She was worried about General manager Kim, but she couldn’t turn around while driving. Heat cycle was a new issue for her, so she didn’t know how to respond. Was Executive Director Kwon okay? She had heard that Alphas were also affected….
From what she had glimpsed earlier, he seemed quite calm, only his appearance was disheveled. Was it because he was a Dominant Alpha? As a Beta, Secretary Song could only vaguely guess, not knowing the scale of endurance that sentient beings possessed.
Before she knew it, she had arrived at her destination. Perhaps because it was far from the downtown area, the front of the hotel was deserted. When the navigation’s guidance ended, the car was filled with even more uncomfortable silence.
Secretary Song gripped the steering wheel and swallowed nervously. She moved her lips several times before finally opening her mouth with difficulty.
“Executive Director, should I find an Alpha?”
Kwon Young-je, who was sitting in the back seat, slowly twisted his head at those words.
“An Alpha?”
“Yes, I thought it might be necessary. You can’t spend heat cycle alone….”
Secretary Song glanced at the rearview mirror. Her eyes met Kwon Executive Director in the small mirror. He wasn’t blinking an eye. At the sharply honed gaze, Secretary Song wondered if she had said something wrong and pursed her lips tightly.
“Isn’t it too late now?”
From the beginning, Kwon Young-je had not considered the option of bringing in another Alpha. No matter how much heat cycle had come, he couldn’t put a stranger next to him. The subtle refusal contained a valid reason.
Secretary Song was not entirely satisfied, but she perked up her ears again at the instructions that followed.
“Since the contract has already been concluded, I don’t think there’s any need for me to stay. Tell the employees to finish up and return home.”
“…….”
“I’ll go back as soon as Secretary Kim’s condition improves. Bring the carrier to the front of the hotel.”
“So you’re saying you’ll be staying with him…. Ah, yes. I understand.”
Secretary Song turned her head back in surprise. As soon as she saw the serious Kwon Executive Director, the question she was about to ask disappeared. She shouldn’t pry any further.
Kwon Young-je let out a short sigh. His head throbbed, and he unconsciously pressed the crumpled brow.
“One more thing….”
At that moment, Hui-won, who had been sprawled in the corner, raised his head and recklessly showered kisses on Kwon Young-je’s lips, who was in the middle of a conversation. Kwon Young-je didn’t push it away, but rather accepted it willingly. No, rather, he sucked on the touching lips more actively.
Hick! Secretary Song couldn’t hide her shock and cried out softly.
As Kwon Executive Director’s fierce gaze flew over, she immediately covered her open mouth. Thinking that she had seen something she shouldn’t have, she hurriedly turned her head straight. After that, she had to look only at the front with her pupils greatly dilated.
She swallowed hard at the squelching sound coming from behind. It didn’t seem like it would end easily, so she quietly left the scene.
After waiting outside, the back door finally opened after a long time. Kwon Executive Director, carrying Secretary Kim on his shoulder, wiped his wet lips and got out of the car lightly.
“What number is it?”
The voice asking for the room number was as dry as if nothing had happened. Secretary Song fixed her confused eyes on the floor and answered.
“It’s room 1214, Executive Director.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Kwon Young-je, who had thrown out a heartless word and turned around, stopped as soon as he took a step. He added the words he couldn’t finish earlier to Secretary Song, who was still frozen.
“I hope today’s events will be treated as top secret.”
Secretary Song bowed her head even deeper. Her heart was pounding so hard that it felt like it would explode. She had a premonition that it was too big a secret for her to handle, and she wouldn’t be able to sleep properly for several days.
