Even thinking back to when he suddenly went into heat at Lotus Flower Palace, it was the same. At that time too, Joo Tae-hyun was clumsy at everything. But then there was the unexpected variable of pheromone abnormality. Anyone could see his condition wasn’t normal, so it was understandable.
But today’s sex was far beyond a level that could be overlooked.
‘You need to breathe.’
‘Ha, huk, heuup…’
It was to the extent that with each change in position, Joo Tae-hyun didn’t know when to exhale, so he had to be taught one by one.
Still, seeing how he immediately moved his body as instructed, he wasn’t inherently stiff. What could be the reason Joo Tae-hyun was so inexperienced?
─ Should I contact Attorney Ahn?
“I don’t think it’s at that stage yet… Let’s check Joo Tae-hyun’s records first.”
For some unknown reason, Joo Tae-hyun had been lying to him from the beginning.
Forget being a dirty switch, it’s clear he has little to no sexual experience at all.
If that’s the case, it would explain this mess.
For the inexperienced Joo Tae-hyun, the switch he gave must have been a big stimulus, and if that caused a temporary pheromone abnormality… Then that’s rather fortunate. They could find a more efficient treatment method than just exchanging pheromones until Joo Tae-hyun’s condition improved. There was no need to continue this meaningless sex.
However, Seo Baek-han was curious about a more fundamental reason than the circumstances of this incident.
Why?
Why did Joo Tae-hyun pretend to be skilled at sex with alphas, pretend he couldn’t do without a switch?
He knows that Tae-hyun has liked him for a long time. He’s well aware that those feelings from childhood are still ongoing.
If he heard the person he liked was getting married and made a rash decision in his young mind, well, let’s say that’s understandable up to that point.
The problem is what came after.
For 4 years, Joo Tae-hyun was the most ideal spouse Seo Baek-han could have hoped for. He even thought Tae-hyun must be finding comfort elsewhere, separate from his feelings for him. Though not as frequent as expected, he was impressed seeing Tae-hyun steadily buying switches. He often thought he made the right choice in marrying someone so young yet so good at separating public and private matters.
But if it’s all lies – that he had separate sex partners, that he occasionally indulged in dirty switches – then what reason could Joo Tae-hyun possibly have for enduring this marriage?
Joo Tae-hyun isn’t just the son of a wealthy family, but comes from a lineage so prestigious their name would be in history books. Someone aware of the weight of his own halo wouldn’t have proceeded with a life-changing event like marriage driven by emotion rather than reason.
In the end, Seo Baek-han’s questions go in circles again.
‘Yes. Watching you was the first time I realized how brightly someone with clear goals can shine. Seeing you made me reflect on how I want to live my life.’
…Could it be because he likes me too much?
Seo Baek-han snorted involuntarily as he tried to come up with all sorts of reasons. This was going too far.
Setting aside his own somewhat cynical tendencies, no one would believe that. He didn’t have any great memories with Joo Tae-hyun, nor had they been particularly close. How could he be so ardent towards him?
─ Then I’ll contact you when everything is ready
“Yes. Please do so as quickly as possible. Ah, and tomorrow… No, it’s past midnight so this morning. Could you bring some clothes for Tae-hyun to wear? Everything including underwear.”
─ Yes, understood. Then for your clothes as well, Director-
“Ah, I’m fine.”
Seo Baek-han placed the phone on the bedside table after ending the call and surveyed the messy bedroom. The hotel room was eerily quiet thanks to Joo Tae-hyun not making even a breath of sound. The scene of furniture dirtied and disheveled after rough sex substituted for noise.
Nothing inside was intact. Amidst the mix of his own pheromones, Joo Tae-hyun’s pheromones, and an unfamiliar scent that wasn’t originally Joo Tae-hyun’s, every space where a person could sit or stand was covered in the bodily fluids they had spilled.
Despite trying to overlay the pretty face from childhood when he couldn’t get an erection, he managed to get plenty hard and ejaculate with Joo Tae-hyun.
To be honest, it was the most intriguing sex he’d ever had.
It was probably the first time he had completely given himself over to a twisted desire for dominance rather than familiar sexual arousal mechanisms. Perhaps because he was a sturdy alpha male, no matter how deeply he thrust his cock or what strenuous positions he took, Joo Tae-hyun’s body didn’t crumble or break. Though he wasn’t inexperienced in mixing bodies, he had never indulged so greedily in driving his partner to the edge, so Seo Baek-han also became quite immersed in the act towards the end.
The sensation of his pheromones being sucked into the other was novel, and the faint wafting scent of grass, beyond Joo Tae-hyun’s abnormal state, was quite stimulating. Though the scent itself couldn’t be called sensual, the sight of the alpha before him erasing his original nature and leaking weak pheromones in an attempt to seduce him ignited Seo Baek-han’s base sadistic tendencies.
Droplets of water from his not-fully-dried hair fell onto his shirt, leaving unsightly traces.
Seo Baek-han finished buttoning up while staring at Joo Tae-hyun’s swollen anus from overuse, his buttocks marked with vivid bruises, and his testicles flushed red like overripe plums about to burst.
Despite repeated warnings, he kept biting his lips, leaving ugly scratches here and there. There was even a scab on his lower lip where a mole was.
Tsk, Seo Baek-han clicked his tongue lightly as he put on his belt. Perhaps sensing his pheromones from the slight movement, Joo Tae-hyun’s hole twitched. He didn’t seem to be awake, it looked like a reflexive response. Seeing the tightly closed hole quiver, he might be greedily swallowing his pheromones from that end.
“Do you really like me that much?”
Watching Joo Tae-hyun unconsciously yet acutely aware of his every move, an embarrassing question slipped out before he knew it.
“That can’t be it, right?”
To the point of staking not just your life but even DH Group, to tell such lies about enjoying sex with alphas and indulging in dirty switches… it can’t be because you like me that much, right?
There was no answer from the sleeping, or rather unconscious, Joo Tae-hyun.
Seo Baek-han put on his jacket and did a final check of his appearance. Since midnight had passed, both the date he had promised Joo Tae-hyun and his duty to service him with sex to take responsibility for his pheromone abnormality were over.
“Sleep well, Tae-hyun.”
As he opened the door, the rush of outside air made him belatedly realize how thick the concentration of pheromones inside had been.
Seo Baek-han paused for a moment at the tingling sensation in his fingertips, then quietly closed the door and set off again.
Was it because of the bombardment of pheromones released and received? Or the aftereffects of mixing bodies? He felt inexplicably softened. Judging by the inexplicable sense of satisfaction he felt each time he revisited the assumption that Joo Tae-hyun’s outrageous major incident was out of affection for him.
Well, for now everything is just speculation. Until suspicion becomes certainty, Seo Baek-han planned to leisurely enjoy this situation as well.
