Since he was a child, Ju-hwan had known he would become an Alpha. His father was a Dominant Alpha, and his mother was a Dominant Omega. There were three siblings born between them: the eldest was a son and an Alpha, and the second was a daughter and an Alpha. Therefore, there was no doubt that the youngest, Kim Ju-hwan, would also be an Alpha, and as expected, he awakened as an Extreme Alpha at a younger age than average.
His family had kept him under strict control from a young age. There were reasons why his seed should not be scattered in the wrong places, but there were also those who sought to use an Extreme Alpha as a stud, so he had to be thoroughly cautious. Thanks to this, Kim Ju-hwan knew how to control and restrain himself.
Kim Ju-hwan’s first experience was in his second year of high school. It was with an unknown male-type Omega who had been invited to a family event.
The moment that Omega saw Ju-hwan, he went into heat and seduced and pounced on Ju-hwan like a predator stalking prey. Ju-hwan was not flustered. Since he had always thought a day like this would come, he simply followed along with whatever the male-type Omega did. However, he did not ejaculate inside that body, and naturally, he did not knot.
Knotting was reserved for the person he chose. That had been Kim Ju-hwan’s own rule since childhood.
The man, of course, wanted him to knot. He wanted to carry Ju-hwan’s seed even if it meant giving up all his pheromones. He clung to Ju-hwan, promising to keep it a secret if he became pregnant, but Ju-hwan coldly refused.
Since then, sex with Omegas who threw themselves at him continued, but he never knotted once. He never initiated contact with an Omega first. He simply had sex indifferently, and as he looked up at the Omegas shaking their hips in longing for him, he felt boredom and wondered if he simply didn’t have much of a sex drive. Until just a moment ago.
“I said I don’t want to!! Kim Ju-hwan!! Get out of the way before I kill you!”
Forced onto the bed, Jeong-min struggled to push Ju-hwan away. Though he should have been unable to move easily, pinned down by Ju-hwan’s pheromones, he pushed Ju-hwan away desperately, which only further irritated the Alpha’s temperament.
Shin Jeong-min, this immature specimen before his eyes, was violently rejecting him. Ju-hwan let out a low growl and looked down at Jeong-min with sharp eyes. The gaze was so overwhelming that Jeong-min’s struggling stopped for a moment, and Ju-hwan took the fallen IV tubing and tied Jeong-min’s hands.
Suddenly tied to the bedpost, Jeong-min became terrified. He felt with chilling sincerity that Kim Ju-hwan intended to perform ‘that’ act.
This was no time to panic. He had to stop him and calm him down somehow. Otherwise, something truly terrible would happen. Jeong-min relaxed his body. He took a deep breath in and out.
“Kim Ju-hwan. Let me go. I’m asking you. This isn’t right.”
He tried to persuade Kim Ju-hwan with a calm voice.
“What exactly is not right?”
Ju-hwan asked back with a smirk as he took off his shirt. His revealed body was firm and imposing, unlike someone who had only just become an adult. His well-defined muscles looked better than those of the models in magazines. The scent of a male, combined with pheromones, more than filled the room.
“You said you wanted to become an Omega? That you needed an Alpha? I’m offering to hold you. Or are you going to go to Shin-woo sunbae and ask him to hold you instead?”
“Th-that’s….”
Perhaps he hadn’t entirely ruled out that possibility. The only Alpha Jeong-min knew was currently Shin-woo. But he wouldn’t hold him. He would more likely send him back to the hospital. Once he reached that conclusion, Jeong-min could no longer find the words to speak.
As Jeong-min fell silent, Kim Ju-hwan’s mood soured, knowing he had hit the mark. So he really was thinking of going to Yu Shin-woo.
“As if that man would ever hold you, Sunbae.”
At Kim Ju-hwan’s sneer, Jeong-min’s lips and eyes trembled.
“I wasn’t trying to go to Shin-woo hyung. There’s no way I would.”
“Then what? To an Alpha you’ve never even met in your life? You’d give your first time to some Alpha walking down the street? I don’t get it. You’ll spread your legs so easily for some stranger, so why not me? Sunbae, are you a male whore?”
“Kim Ju-hwan.”
“Aren’t I safer than some low-life bastards with no background?”
“Untie this. I don’t have time to argue with—”
Kim Ju-hwan blocked Jeong-min’s mouth with his hand.
“You act so smart, so why do you say such stupid things at times like this? I’m going to fuck you, so shut up. I’ll make you an Omega. Why? Want me to get you pregnant too?”
Ju-hwan smiled as he sat atop Jeong-min. He brushed a hand over Jeong-min’s wet eyes and slid it down to the nape of his neck.
Tuk, tuk. Ju-hwan’s hand unbuttoned the shirt Jeong-min had been wearing temporarily.
“I just said it, but I think it’s a great idea. Sunbae, once you become an Omega, the first child can be mine, and the second can be Shin-woo sunbae’s.”
“Mmph, mmm!”
“Ah, by the way. I’m not exactly the gentle type in bed, Jeong-min sunbae.”
The hand that had been unbuttoning the shirt roughly ripped the dress shirt open. With a series of pops, the buttons tore away, revealing Jeong-min’s bare skin.
His skin wasn’t porcelain white, but it wasn’t rough either. It was smooth, fitting perfectly in the hand, with nicely toned muscles. He wasn’t as supple as an Omega, but his body had sufficiently fine lines.
Was it because he hadn’t fully become an Alpha yet? Or because he had only recently manifested? It wasn’t bad. No, rather, it stirred something in him.
Quickly pulling down the pants and underwear, Ju-hwan spread Jeong-min’s legs and undid his own belt buckle.
Zzzip— With the sound of the zipper going down, his underwear dropped and Kim Ju-hwan’s member revealed itself. It was smooth, yet long and thick. It asserted its presence so blatantly that it was almost surprising how he had been storing it. As soon as Jeong-min saw it, he squeezed his eyes shut. Ju-hwan laughed, finding the sight cute.
Then, stroking himself, he licked Jeong-min’s lips and whispered in his ear.
“It hasn’t fully grown yet. You should get acquainted with it. It’s the thing that’s going to make you an Omega.”
Ju-hwan unwound the IV drip line wrapped around Jeong-min’s hand and forced him to grip his member. Jeong-min’s hand trembled violently.
“Why are you shaking? Does it look that scary? You have to get used to it. Here, touch it like this.”
Ju-hwan gently guided Jeong-min’s hand, whispering in a sweet voice as he made him stroke him. As soon as Jeong-min’s hand touched him, a shallow moan escaped. Jeong-min bit his lip hard.
“Stop it.”
Ju-hwan was starting to get irritated. Clicking his tongue, he lifted Jeong-min’s legs and draped them over his shoulders.
“Kim Ju-hwan!”
“You seem pretty relaxed. You don’t realize your Alpha pheromones are getting stronger, do you? It’s starting to get disgusting. If it gets any stronger in this state, even I won’t be able to hold you. No matter how much I play with my cock, I don’t want to be embraced by an Alpha. Fuck—who wants to hold an Alpha? Just imagining it makes me want to vomit. You feel the same, right? That’s why you’re trying to become an Omega now. I’m helping you out, so why do you keep pushing me away? You’re pissing me off.”
Hiding his fear, Jeong-min instead frowned deeply as if he were the one annoyed and glared at Kim Ju-hwan. The hard thing caught at his fingertips felt as if it would plunge into him at any moment.
Right, if I can become an Omega, what does it matter who holds me? Like Kim Ju-hwan said, if he were an Alpha, he could spread his legs for anyone and show his hole. He could just tell himself it wasn’t Kim Ju-hwan. He didn’t know why he felt such an aversion to this man. Was it a shred of remaining morality?
“Hmm?”
When Jeong-min stopped resisting, Kim Ju-hwan looked surprised.
“Have you given up?”
Then, sounding amused, his voice dropped lower as he leaned down. When they were so close that their chests nearly touched, Jeong-min pulled his head down and whispered in his ear.
“Fuck off, you piece of shit.”
Squeezing out the last of his strength, Jeong-min pulled his foot off Kim Ju-hwan’s shoulder and kicked him with all his might. But as expected, it wasn’t enough. Ju-hwan only stumbled back a bit; he didn’t go nearly as far as Jeong-min had hoped.
“Damn it.”
Considering it his last chance, Jeong-min quickly bolted toward the door. Just as he grabbed the handle with all his soul—
At the same time, his hair was grabbed, and his neck was jerked back. As he struggled and shouted for him to get out of the way, Ju-hwan pulled him back with all his strength and tripped him, slamming him down. Sprawled on the floor, Jeong-min felt suffocated by the heavy air pressing down on him.
A dark shadow slowly approached, grabbed the nape of Jeong-min’s neck, and slammed it against the floor. Then, he forced his hips up and spread him open.
Jeong-min grit his teeth and squeezed his eyes shut. As he clenched his fists and bit his lip, he soon tasted the metallic tang of blood.
“…Shin-woo… Shin-woo hyung.”
Facing an unknown future that was about to descend, Jeong-min desperately called the name of the person he hoped would save him.
* * *
Chapter 22
‘The experience of the string of reason snapping.’
A group of mature Alphas had told a young, immature Ju-hwan that he would one day have such an experience. At the time, he hadn’t understood the meaning and had simply let the words go in one ear and out the other.
Now, he felt he could understand those words. Or more accurately, he felt he understood the many emotions contained within them.
“Ha!”
To call another Alpha’s name in front of a possessive Alpha.
Kim Ju-hwan spat into Jeong-min’s dry hole. He inserted his menacingly erect member into the tight space.
“Ugh—!”
No, it wasn’t a full insertion; only the tip of the glans had barely entered, but Jeong-min grit his teeth harder in pain. He felt like he might vomit.
He could feel Jeong-min’s prone body stiffen and tremble, but Ju-hwan didn’t care. He was simply irritated by how dry the place was, more so than by Jeong-min’s struggling.
Perhaps because he had only dealt with Omegas who approached him drenched in slick, this was the first time he had encountered such a parched place. Ju-hwan clicked his tongue and pulled back the glans.
Jeong-min’s body flinched. Ju-hwan sneered. Then, he spat into his own hand and let it drip into Jeong-min’s hole. Jeong-min writhed at the strange sensation, but it was not permitted. Nor did Ju-hwan actually help loosen the hole. It had merely become glistening with his saliva. Ju-hwan repositioned himself and began to push in slowly.
“Mmph! Ugh! Uuuugh!!”
Jeong-min frowned, struggling in pain. Ju-hwan watched the sight with pleasure.
“Does it hurt? Of course it does. I’m doing this so it hurts. Sunbae. The first time is always painful. Once we shake things up a bit, a path will open inside, and then it’ll be fine.”
As Ju-hwan pulled his hips back slightly and pushed in again, Jeong-min’s face changed color from the intensity of the pain.
“Aaaagh!”
Finally, Jeong-min opened his clenched mouth and let out a scream of agony.
“Ugh… fuck… it’s dog-gone tight.”
As if to prove it was his first time, Jeong-min’s anus clamped down so hard it felt like it would snap him in half, making it impossible to advance. Ju-hwan slapped Jeong-min’s buttocks.
“Just bear with it. Who knows? I might discover the womb that’s currently forming inside.”
Sweat trickled down Ju-hwan’s forehead. It wasn’t that he had never been with an inexperienced Omega, but he realized anew that those were bodies meant to receive, making it easy. He hadn’t expected such a massive difference.
That didn’t mean he disliked the feeling of Jeong-min’s interior. The way Jeong-min’s hole tightened in rhythmic intervals, unintentionally, was the best. He wanted to go deeper and savor it, but because he couldn’t, Ju-hwan was becoming impatient.
He pulled his hips back and pushed in several times, but Jeong-min’s hole showed no sign of opening further. Muttering curses under his breath, Ju-hwan began to touch Jeong-min’s limp genitals.
Just like the hole that had surely never been touched by anyone, the front would be equally pure. Even before manifesting, Shin Jeong-min had been popular. That would be the same at university. But since he was a man with a strangely stubborn side, he probably didn’t even know he was popular.
Thinking about how he would soil this purity with his own hands today made Ju-hwan feel strangely excited. Enough to forgive him for calling Shin-woo earlier.
“!!…!”
Still a man, despite the pain, Jeong-min’s body reacted as Ju-hwan touched him, his thighs twitching. As Jeong-min’s member slowly became erect, Ju-hwan stopped pushing inside and helped him reach ejaculation.
“Stop. I don’t… I don’t want to.”
“What don’t you want? This part is reacting so well. Just cum.”
As Jeong-min trembled and twitched, white semen flowed out, wetting the floor and part of Ju-hwan’s hand.
Ju-hwan stared at the semen on his hand for a moment before dripping it back into Jeong-min’s hole.
Perhaps because of that? As he began to move again, the movements became considerably smoother, making lewd, squelching sounds.
“Hic— mmph….”
As Jeong-min tightened his buttocks against the renewed pain, Ju-hwan struck his backside hard.
“Relax. That’s the only way this will end quickly.”
Though he had absolutely no intention of ending it now.
“Anyway, Sunbae. This won’t end unless I cum. So listen to me while I’m being this kind and putting in all this effort.”
He spoke as if intentionally soothing him. Yet, when Jeong-min remained motionless, Ju-hwan reached out and grabbed Jeong-min’s chin, which was pressed against the floor, and turned it. His face was a mess. His lips were torn and bleeding. Even then, he refused to open his eyes. Was it a will to never look at the person in front of him? How foolish.
Ju-hwan flipped Jeong-min’s body over. As he was turned while still inserted, Jeong-min clenched his fists and trembled once more. He wanted to resist more strongly, but his body was already a wreck. It was more realistic to simply hope this situation would end quickly.
Ju-hwan looked down at Jeong-min, who was forced to accept him while still rejecting him. Once Jeong-min’s back arched and Ju-hwan’s member was fully inside, Ju-hwan pulled his hips back in one motion and slammed them forward.
With a loud thwack, Jeong-min’s eyes flew open, and he let out a silent scream.
Simultaneously, blood flowed between the member and the hole, soaking the sheets. Ju-hwan swept that blood with his finger and smeared it on the corner of Jeong-min’s mouth.
“It’s open. Fresh blood. Sunbae. Now, shall we see if you become an Omega or not?”
From that moment, Ju-hwan began to thrust his hips like an unbridled colt. His back was rubbing against the floor, but he felt as if he were being sucked into something, to the point where such things didn’t matter. He wished he could just faint, but he felt the reality of what was happening to him becoming clearer and clearer.
It was too painful and exhausting.
“Fuck—. Sunbae, you feel too good. What is this? Haha.”
Ju-hwan pressed himself completely against Jeong-min and plowed through his insides. He hammered away relentlessly, as if he intended to mold the interior into the shape of his own member. He felt like he was going crazy. Jeong-min’s interior felt better than any Omega he had ever dealt with.
“How is this an Alpha? Ha, I’m losing it.”
Muttering to himself, he bit Jeong-min’s ear and then his nape.
“Sunbae, fuck. Hey, Shin Jeong-min—you’re an Omega. You’re an Omega. Do you have any idea how tight your hole is?”
He couldn’t possibly know. Ju-hwan chuckled and thrust again. Jeong-min’s hand covered his own face. Ju-hwan found that displeasing.
“Sunbae, look at me.”
Then, something caught Ju-hwan’s eye. A ring on Jeong-min’s finger.
That ring had been bothering him for a while. Ju-hwan stopped moving for a moment and forcibly ripped the ring off.
“Wha- what are you—”
As the ring was removed, Jeong-min tried to move and resist again. Ju-hwan pulled himself out and slammed back in hard. At the sudden pain, Jeong-min arched his neck back and let out a moan. In the meantime, Ju-hwan examined the ring closely.
The initials inside.
‘S.U’
A hollow laugh escaped him upon seeing the initials. He knew immediately who the owner of that ring was. And how deep those feelings ran.
Ju-hwan threw the ring behind him. He heard the sound of the ring rolling across the floor. Coming back to his senses at that sound, Jeong-min writhed and struggled, but Ju-hwan gripped his waist.
“No, stop! Fuck, let me go—!! Ugh! Ah!!”
Regardless of Jeong-min’s resistance, Ju-hwan continued to hammer his hips. With his body shaking helplessly, Jeong-min tried to find the rolling ring with his eyes.
It was nowhere to be seen. As if the future he desired and had envisioned had vanished. How could such a thing happen to him? Was that such a great greed?
“Hic, ugh.”
When he heard Jeong-min sobbing, Ju-hwan’s movements stopped. The man trembling in agony looked more foolish than pitiful. It might have been better to just accept everything. Then he wouldn’t have ended up in this state.
“Shin….”
“Shin-woo hyung…. Shin-woo hyung….”
A shadow fell over Ju-hwan’s face, which had briefly felt a flicker of pity. Right. Everything is one’s own doing. No one forced this man. He chose all of this. If so, it wouldn’t be bad to let him know the worst outcome that results from that choice.
Ju-hwan fully released his pheromones. Jeong-min, who was in the middle of manifesting, must have felt those pheromones, as he stopped crying and began to breathe heavily.
The difference between a Dominant Alpha and common Alphas is the ability to control their rut. In Ju-hwan’s case, he had been adept at controlling his rut since childhood. Regardless of Jeong-min’s suffering, Ju-hwan moved his hips slowly. And he tossed out a word as if mocking him.
“Since it’s come to this. Experience knotting too, Sunbae.”
* * *
Chapter 23
Knotting….
Gasping for air under the increasingly oppressive atmosphere, Jeong-min snapped awake and shook his head violently, signaling that it absolutely must not happen. But Ju-hwan stroked Jeong-min’s head, kissed his forehead, and moved slowly… then gradually faster. Jeong-min struggled to keep up with the movements, which were incomparable to before, but he continued to express his refusal, barely managing to make a sound.
“Stop it! No!! I hate it!”
“Good boy. Take it all in. That’s how you get pregnant.”
“Kim Ju-hwan! Stop it!!”
“…I told you, it’s already too late.”
Ju-hwan laughed, breathless. Then, as if time had stopped for a moment, Ju-hwan’s movements ceased, and something hot spread inside. Jeong-min screamed, his body trembling at the shudder-inducing, horrific sensation.
“Stop it. Stop it.”
His powerless resistance was pitifully meaningless, and the member that had finished ejaculating began to swell inside. Rather than the pain of his body being split in half, Jeong-min was so shocked that Kim Ju-hwan had knotted him that he couldn’t say a word. Watching Jeong-min stand blankly as if time had stopped, Ju-hwan kissed his lips.
“Does it hurt? Just bear with it for a bit.”
Ju-hwan stroked Jeong-min’s stomach.
“That way my seed can settle. Is it around here? Your womb, Sunbae. I hope the baby grows well.”
A tear dropped from Jeong-min’s eye. His eyes, having resigned to everything, saw nothing, but Ju-hwan was satisfied with that look.
“Now how are you going to explain this to Shin-woo sunbae? Whether you become an Omega or an Alpha, I’m the one who fucked you first. Well, it can’t be helped. If Shin-woo sunbae throws you away, come to me. I’ll take responsibility.”
Everything was hell, and pain. As if he had given up on everything, Jeong-min let the strength leave his body and simply stared at the unfamiliar ceiling.
This pain, this agony… yes, if I become an Omega, it doesn’t matter. Even if Shin-woo hyung is disappointed in me… as long as I become an Omega, I can endure it.
“You’ve become quiet, Sunbae.”
Once the knotting ended, the penis inside returned to its original shape. Seeing that Jeong-min’s movements—which he expected to turn into resistance—had subsided, Ju-hwan pulled his member out with a satisfied look. Looking between the splayed legs, the semen, having lost its way with nowhere to be held, leaked out through the hole. A strange sense of achievement and satisfaction welled up, but Ju-hwan deliberately ignored it.
He simply thought it was a waste for that semen to go to waste. If only one of them had taken root inside.
Ah, yes. Perhaps correction really was possible. If that man became an Omega because of him, that might lead to something interesting in its own right.
“Ugh!!”
Ju-hwan thrust his erect penis back into Jeong-min with all his might. This, too, was an act for a single purpose.
✽✽✽
Once the back had been breached, the second time was easy.
By the time the pain turned into pleasure and Jeong-min’s voice changed, Ju-hwan smiled and thrust harder, urging Jeong-min to become an Omega.
Every time he knotted, Jeong-min screamed and tried to push Ju-hwan away, but Ju-hwan forced three knots upon him.
To Jeong-min, who poured out curses and words of hatred, saying he would kill him and curse him for the rest of his life, Ju-hwan told him to do it if he could. He sneered, biting Jeong-min’s ear, asking if he wouldn’t actually be grateful to him for becoming an Omega, and making Jeong-min feel miserable by claiming he was proud to be his first man.
Eventually, he pushed Jeong-min until he fainted. Looking down at the limp body, Ju-hwan clicked his tongue and pulled himself out of Jeong-min’s body. Since he was facing his final ejaculation, he had no choice but to shake his penis over Jeong-min’s face, scattering thin semen across him.
“Haa.”
Seeing his semen seep into the slightly parted mouth, Ju-hwan licked his lips and kissed Jeong-min.
He felt Jeong-min’s body cooling down. Or rather, more accurately, it had returned to the body temperature of an ordinary person. It was the signal that the awakening fever had ended.
Ju-hwan took a deep breath and smelled Jeong-min’s scent.
“Disgusting Alpha smell.”
Ju-hwan laughed. Nothing in this world ever went his way. In the end, Jeong-min’s wish to become an Omega was not granted, and he became the Alpha he had so vehemently rejected. That is why the world is interesting, and life is thrilling.
The moment he realized Jeong-min had awakened as an Alpha, his sexual desire cooled by instinct, and the rut ended.
All interest in Jeong-min vanished. Without a trace of lingering attachment, Ju-hwan stepped off the bed and checked the clock. It was 7 PM, exactly one full day since Jeong-min had arrived.
Without even covering the disheveled Jeong-min with a blanket, he went into the bathroom to wash himself. He had to wash off the scent of another Alpha. When he returned to the room, he found that Jeong-min had regained consciousness and was sitting on the bed, shedding heavy tears.
Ju-hwan opened the window to ventilate the room and made a phone call. Soon, with a knock, the butler brought new clothes and water.
Ju-hwan approached Jeong-min and tossed him the new clothes.
“Congratulations on becoming an Alpha, Sunbae.”
In the end, I became an Alpha. The very thing I didn’t want to be.
“These clothes are a gift from me to commemorate your manifestation.”
Jeong-min threw the pillow at Ju-hwan with all his strength, but Ju-hwan caught it effortlessly and set it on the floor.
“Liar. You fucking scammer.”
“Surely not. It was probably just too late. You were already becoming an Alpha… I’m not a god; no matter how much I fuck a body that’s already an Alpha, would it really become an Omega?”
“Get out… fuck. I don’t even want to see your face anymore.”
“I’d love to get out, but this is my house. You’ll have to be the one to leave, Sunbae. It’ll soon be time for my parents to arrive… it would be a bit troublesome if they found out you’d been rolling around with an Alpha. Ah, your pheromones… it’s not a scent I particularly like. I think our compatibility is the absolute worst.”
Kim Ju-hwan waved his hand and left the room. Staring at his retreating figure with hatred, Jeong-min stood up.
“Ugh.”
His waist was one thing, but the hole and the inside of his body felt as if they were tearing apart. It felt as though he had been beaten for a long time with a massive club. Far from standing properly, he couldn’t even walk, so he stayed still, waiting for the pain to subside even slightly.
Moving painfully step by step, he picked up and put on the crumpled underwear and patient gown scattered on the floor. As he grabbed the doorknob, he suddenly realized the ring was missing from his hand. He didn’t want to stay in this room a moment longer, but he couldn’t leave the ring behind. If he lost even that, he felt he would completely collapse.
Jeong-min approached the direction where the ring had rolled.
‘It definitely rolled under the bed…’
Pressing his agonizingly painful body close to the floor, he looked into the dark space and fortunately saw a single glittering object. He reached out without hesitation. Fortunately, the ring caught on his finger and returned to him.
After brushing off the dust that had gathered on it and staring at the ring for a long time, Jeong-min slid it back onto his ring finger.
“It’s okay.”
It wasn’t confirmed yet. Kim Ju-hwan could be wrong. Jeong-min bit his lip hard and stood up again. Just then, he was startled by a strange sensation of something sliding down inside his body. With a feeling of dread, he reached inside his underwear and found a white liquid dripping out.
It wasn’t slick. It was semen. Kim Ju-hwan’s semen. Goosebumps broke out all over his body. Recalling the acts he had subjected him to, he wanted to wash it all away and scrape it clean immediately.
He wanted to erase every trace, but not here. He no longer wanted to be anywhere Kim Ju-hwan was. Jeong-min hurried out of the room.
“The car has been prepared.”
As if waiting, Ju-hwan’s butler was standing in front of the door. He didn’t want help, but he had no choice now. Pride would only make him look more pathetic.
Jeong-min got into the waiting car and sank into the seat. It was the worst. There would likely never be another day in his life as terrible as this.
✽✽✽
“He has left in the car.”
“I see.”
Ju-hwan looked out the window while drinking coffee. The car was already gone.
“I will proceed to clean the room.”
“Mm. Please wait a moment. There is something I need to retrieve.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Leaving the butler behind and returning to the room, Ju-hwan frowned at the mixture of his own pheromones, Jeong-min’s newly awakened Alpha pheromones, and the scent of sex filling the air.
Even with the window open, everything seemed to have tangled and clumped together. The patient gown that had been strewn across the floor was gone, and the new clothes he had given were thrown on the bed. Right. That was exactly how Shin Jeong-min would act.
Kim Ju-hwan looked at the bed. Along with the traces of the frantic sex from a short while ago, there were bloodstains. They were likely Jeong-min’s. Either the hole had torn, or they had leaked from his burst lips.
Ju-hwan shrugged and leaned down. He was curious about the ring he had taken earlier. Thinking that with that body, he surely couldn’t have found the ring, he looked under the bed where it had rolled, but it was clean.
“Haha.”
A hollow laugh escaped him at the absurdity. He was sick of Shin Jeong-min, who refused to let go of a hope that could never be realized. Kim Ju-hwan stared intently at the spot where Jeong-min had lain, clenched and unclenched his fist once, and then left the room.
