By Zephyria It was a day when sorrowful rain poured down as usual.
Hae-jin was lying face down with his hips raised high. His two hands were tied behind his back, making it a difficult position to support his body with his shoulders. Ryle, holding Hae-jin’s bound hands like handles, shook his hips vigorously, not caring about Hae-jin, who was stifling groans in his throat.
“Ugh.”
As soon as the rough sex ended, Hae-jin was pushed off the bed. In fact, “pushed” was a rather gentle expression. Ryle always pushed him away with a gesture no different from throwing away a used tool.
He didn’t expect Ryle’s gentle touch. However, the problem was that with his hands tied, he had no choice but to roll helplessly on the floor. Hae-jin gritted his teeth at the cold marble touching his cheek again today.
He heard a few footsteps on the floor, followed by the sound of the shower’s strong water. He couldn’t know for sure because his eyes were covered, but given Ryle’s nature, he was likely gone without even caring about Hae-jin’s condition.
Struggling to get up somehow, Hae-jin swallowed a sigh inwardly. After all, there was nothing to be gained by outwardly expressing dissatisfaction in this mansion. So he was used to swallowing sighs that resembled sobs.
There was no particular reason why he was having relations in such a miserable state. Ryle was someone with severe Omega phobia. So he couldn’t tolerate an Omega daring to grab or scratch Ryle during sex. The blindfold was for a similar reason.
Being tossed around like a doll was all Hae-jin knew about sex. This was also a contract.
He tried to get up from the floor for a long time, but it wasn’t easy. As expected of a Dominant Alpha, Ryle was very rough on the bed. Perhaps he was angry at having to mix bodies with an Omega he hated because of the pheromone issue. That’s why he often couldn’t feel strength in his legs after the sex ended.
Today, he happened to fall wrong and even twisted his arm. Eventually, Hae-jin, who had been struggling in vain, lay sideways on the floor. He had no strength in his body.
This was a dedicated room where the two mixed bodies, and Ryle went out through another door attached to the shower room after finishing his business. So, in the early days of the contract, he was often left abandoned outside the bed all night.
“Ugh.”
Then he heard the sound of another door opening, not the shower room. He also heard the voice of a servant mixed with a sigh. He must have come in because Hae-jin didn’t come out quickly.
“Fucking hell, so dirty.”
“……”
As he said, the servant irritably untied Hae-jin’s hands as if dealing with something dirty. Then he quickly went out of the room.
Hae-jin, bitterly twisting his lips at the familiar neglect, deliberately slowly took off the blindfold. There was no need to look at that hateful expression.
When he regained his sight after a few hours, he was naturally left alone in the room.
As always.
Alpha is a trait that symbolizes excellent genes. Those with Dominant traits also had outstanding beauty as a weapon. Therefore, Alphas often monopolized the upper class in every country. The same was true of Heavy Rain City in Elta State.
However, even Alphas, who were excellent in every way, had one weakness. That was the need to periodically release pheromones. And the release of Alpha pheromones inevitably required sexual intercourse with an Omega.
Hae-jin was originally a Beta, but because he manifested as an Omega at too late an age, he did not receive proper education about the trait. So he doesn’t know exactly what the problem is if an Alpha doesn’t properly release pheromones. However, he experienced firsthand that Ryle became violent if they didn’t mix bodies for a long time, so he thought that this was a necessary thing.
Anyway, it was something that would normally be resolved by meeting an Omega appropriately if he was a normal Alpha. However, for some reason, Ryle, who extremely hated Omegas, hired an Omega to keep in the mansion and periodically release pheromones.
It was Hae-jin who desperately needed money who accepted this humiliating contract.
Ryle Vermouth. The sole heir to the Vermouth family, which controls the country’s economy. The city of Heavy Rain where they were located was also the location of the Vermouth family’s main mansion. And it was where Ryle Vermouth hired Hae-jin.
As expected of a Dominant Alpha, Ryle boasted a handsome appearance. His suit, which always boasted perfection, was plastered all over various media almost every day. An Alpha who was coveted not only by Omegas but also by Betas. Therefore, his Omega phobia stood out even more heterogeneously.
Hae-jin, who returned to his room and barely washed his body, climbed onto the bed and curled up. It was pheromone release after a few days because Ryle had gone on a long business trip. Thanks to that, today’s contract performance was also a chore. His legs were numb from how roughly he had been fucked.
It’s already been five years since he entered this mansion. Hae-jin was calling this space his room, but he couldn’t feel like it was a place to settle down at all. Thanks to that, his room was always desolate.
“……Hyung, I’m having a hard time.”
He tried to complain to his Hyung, who was no longer in this world. He should have been more spoiled when his Hyung was alive, but regret was always late no matter how quickly he grabbed it.
This contract was clearly humiliating. Just as Alphas were excellent, Omegas were also a class that demonstrated their genetic excellence no less. So this kind of contract, which said that they would be used as tools for pheromone release whenever needed, was unreasonable.
But Hae-jin had to accept it. He couldn’t save his family without the huge amount of money he received from this contract.
It was just a common tragedy. An accident that was hard to even get sympathy from anyone.
Hae-jin’s black hair and black eyes were not common in this country. Hae-jin, who was abandoned in an orphanage as soon as he was born, was unable to be adopted until he was over ten years old due to his distinctly exotic appearance. It was an age when he was forced to realize how difficult and ruthless the world was.
It was when Hae-jin was preparing to stand alone, hungry for affection. It was when his adoptive parents said they would adopt him.
The kind couple from the Bright family had been volunteering at the orphanage where Hae-jin was for a long time. They always had their eyes on Hae-jin, and eventually decided to take Hae-jin directly when an adoption was not decided.
After the adoption, it was truly like a dream. Parents who scolded and cherished him like a real family, a Hyung who sometimes fought and could be relied on.
Hae-jin’s name was given directly by his adoptive parents. He was presumed to be of Asian descent, but his exact roots were unknown. Nevertheless, the parents worked hard to find and give him a name in the language of the country presumed to be his home country.
‘Hae-jin means sunset.’
‘Our family name is Bright, so you are always a shining person even after the sun sets.’
The family was excited to leave their impressions of the name. Later, he found out that it was not proper grammar and was close to being pieced together, but Hae-jin just thought so. The fact that someone gave him a name was very happy in itself.
He should have not thought so at that time. He should have asked them not to give him such a bright name. He was now closer to a fading existence than shining.
To commemorate Hae-jin’s coming of age, the family was in a car going out to eat when they were caught in an accident. It was instantaneous when a truck driving drowsy crashed into the car they were in.
Hyung died hugging Hae-jin. His adoptive parents barely survived, but had been in a coma ever since. It was entirely Hae-jin’s efforts that desperately protected their lifelines, which the hospital had given up on long ago.
“Hyung, I’m really having a hard time……”
In a corner of the dark and suffocating mansion, Hae-jin fell into the abyss. Only after curling up endlessly in the blanket did his exhausted mind find rest.
As soon as Hae-jin opened his eyes the next day, he felt a sense of despair. His physical condition was not good.
Ryle wanted Hae-jin to always be on standby in perfect physical condition. He paid for Hae-jin’s time so that he could adjust his schedule flexibly as much as possible because he was busy.
He hadn’t been lying on the cold floor for that long yesterday, but he had been suffering from minor illnesses like this since the accident with his family. He had to quickly return his body to normal before he caught Ryle’s eye and offended him.
“Ugh.”
His wrists, which had been tied for a long time, were bruised again. Hae-jin, who felt a stinging pain as he got up holding the bed, swallowed a groan inwardly.
Ryle was unusually rough on the bed yesterday. It was also urgent to release pheromones because of the business trip, but more than that, he was closer to being more sensitive. Come to think of it, Ryle’s rut period was approaching soon. Perhaps because he had been enduring in this house for five years, he became faster at calculating these things even if he didn’t like it.
Not this week, right?
He was going to the hospital to see his parents this weekend. He couldn’t go often because he was watching Ryle’s mood, but he was able to go periodically thanks to what was specified in the contract. It was also thanks to the contract with Ryle that the hospital bills were not delayed and his parents received the hospital’s top-notch service.
So let’s try a little harder.
“Oh, the time……”
Hae-jin, who was blankly getting up and squeezing out the strength to live the day, suddenly looked at the time and became urgent. He had overslept. He was very hungry because he had been dragged to bed without eating dinner yesterday. When he saw that he had missed the meal time, he became anxious.
He hurriedly put on his slippers and approached the door when it happened. He heard a voice full of dissatisfaction from outside.
“Fucking hell. What time is it and he’s sleeping.”
“Living the good life.”
“Well, that’s what a fuck toy is.”
Hae-jin’s hand, which had reached for the doorknob, stopped as if frozen. The men’s voices flowed unreservedly into the room beyond the door. There was not even a hint of concern that Hae-jin might hear.
“Fucking hell, should I wake him up?”
“Leave him alone. Do we have to do that much?”
“Yeah. He’ll crawl out if he’s hungry.”
Where did it go wrong? In the beginning, the servants, who had been acting somewhat distant, gradually changed their attitude.
He didn’t know if it was because of Hae-jin’s attitude, who had always been intimidated since he came to this mansion as soon as he became an adult, or if his desperate feelings, which he didn’t explain in words, leaked out.
However, it seemed that the huge amount of money Hae-jin was receiving had flowed among the servants at some point. After that, he was really treated like someone who lived by his body alone. Hae-jin, for whom the work in this mansion was as important as his life, naturally couldn’t make a proper protest.
The biggest influence on all this treatment was Ryle’s attitude. He had no interest in what the Omega was doing on a regular basis.
“What should we do with this?”
“Why are you asking? Let’s take it. That bastard will eat on his own.”
He heard the sound of a tray containing food moving away. Even while listening to it, Hae-jin couldn’t move and stood like a statue in front of the door.
For the five years he had been here, Hae-jin had never gone to the kitchen to request food. Nor did he ask for a late meal to be brought to his room. It was also questionable whether they would actually listen if he asked.
Perhaps because he was worried about running into Ryle in the mansion, all his meals were settled by bringing them to his room like this. If he didn’t take the tray that was placed in front of the door on time, it would quickly disappear.
So they would know too. That if they didn’t leave the food, Hae-jin would go hungry again today.
“……”
Hae-jin, who couldn’t move until the sound faded away, barely swallowed a sigh. As a last resort, he followed the water provided in the room and drank it to soothe his stomach. It was rare for them to clear away the food so quickly, and the future was a big deal.
Unlike other Alphas and Omegas who manifested during puberty, Hae-jin manifested at the late age of nineteen. As expected of an unusual manifestation period, he was Recessive, but it was fortunate in a situation where he was paying for his parents’ hospital bills with that trait.
Soon, Hae-jin, who was drinking the water that was showing the bottom of the bottle in one go, repeatedly thought. It was lucky that he manifested as a Recessive Omega belatedly. If not, he wouldn’t have been able to hold on to his parents’ lives until now.
“……It’s fortunate.”
The words he spat out like a pledge were so small and shabby that they disappeared without even circling around his small room.
* * *
Their sex usually takes place in silence. But today, Ryle, who grabbed Hae-jin’s arm roughly, spat out as if chewing.
“Haa…… Aren’t you taking care of your body properly? You’re too skinny.”
“Ugh.”
Then he shook his hips roughly as if to show off. Hae-jin, who was shaking with half of his face buried in the bed in a dog-like position, gritted his teeth. As he said, it was very painful because the bones were colliding.
He knew very well that it was not a question asking for an excuse. Ryle would mercilessly point out anything he didn’t like. As expected of someone who had lived at the top all his life.
So Hae-jin shook as usual, biting his lip. He even suppressed the groans caused by the pain for fear of offending him.
If he made a mistake and made a sound here now, his mouth might even be blocked. He still clearly remembered the sound Ryle made to Hae-jin, who was wailing in pain when they first mixed bodies.
‘Shut up unless you want your mouth torn. I don’t want to hear it.’
After that, Ryle kept grabbing and fucking Hae-jin as he pleased for a long time. It was a rough sex that didn’t consider the position of the person receiving it at all. He wanted to get used to it and become indifferent, but he couldn’t, so Hae-jin always had a hard time.
“Haa……”
For Ryle, this was just like a document that had to be approved every day. If it wasn’t necessary for an Alpha, he wouldn’t have to do the troublesome task of mixing bodies with an Omega.
However, unlike his indifferent mind, Ryle’s penis fiercely dug into Hae-jin’s hole. He didn’t touch Hae-jin’s body more than necessary, but his eyes occasionally scanned Hae-jin’s shoulder blade, which popped out without him realizing it.
Ryle, who had been moving his body for a long time, irritably swept his hair up. It was because Hae-jin’s skinny body, which had been touching his thigh since earlier, was very annoying.
“Tch.”
As if he was not satisfied with something, Ryle shook his hips even more violently. It was a movement as if he was trying to finish quickly.
Ryle had monstrous stamina, but eventually this act came to an end. The movements that gradually slowed down and casually lifted his hips up and down inside Hae-jin signaled the end of this pain.
Hae-jin just closed his eyes, even though he was terribly aware that he was physically learning Ryle’s habits. The vision covered by the blindfold was only faint whether he closed or opened his eyes.
After finishing his business, Ryle threw away Hae-jin, whom he had been holding on to, as usual and got up. This time, he was prepared in advance, so he was able to prevent himself from making an unsightly groan.
His face was in an awkward position with half of it hanging on the cold marble, but it was over, so it was okay. Hae-jin even suppressed his groans and unknowingly let out a faint sigh.
“……?”
It was then that Ryle’s steps, which had been heading to the bathroom without hesitation as usual, stopped abruptly. Only then did Hae-jin, who had been tense, freeze without even thinking of getting up.
This week was the week to pay the hospital bills again. He shouldn’t make him upset now.
“What is it.”
However, unlike Hae-jin’s worries, Ryle, who turned around for the first time in five years of using this room, was just frowning.
Hae-jin was barely stuck in the corner of the bed in a truly messy state, so the sound of relief sighing was annoying to his ears.
It was such a pathetic sight that even Ryle, who was indifferent to everything, clicked his tongue without realizing it. He didn’t move even though he was staring at him for a long time, wondering why he was doing that. Only then did Ryle look at Hae-jin’s two wrists tied behind his back.
Ah, is it because of that?
With a very small whim, Ryle turned away from heading to the bathroom and approached Hae-jin. Without knowing that Hae-jin was tense at the unusual interest.
Before he could take two steps, Ryle regretted it. It was a troublesome task. Ryle had ordered it in the beginning, but it was the Butler who prepared to tie the Omega’s two hands and put on the blindfold. So he had never paid attention to Hae-jin’s condition like this. All he needed was the pheromone action that was released while having intercourse with the Omega.
Irritably taking two more steps, he approached Hae-jin’s nose. Hae-jin’s white face, looking up as if he was afraid even though he couldn’t see, coincidentally faced Ryle’s face head-on.
Sweat-dampened black hair was scattered messily near the eye patch. His small face was glistening with sweat, shaking in a pitiful manner. Seeing Hae-jin’s face properly for the first time in a while, Ryle thought absentmindedly.
Were those eyes black like his hair?
As he impulsively reached for the eye patch, Hae-jin suddenly flinched, shrinking back. Like someone anticipating a blow and cowering.
Seeing his hand frozen in mid-air because of that, Ryle clicked his tongue. What was he doing?
Slightly shifting his feet, he roughly untied Hae-jin’s tightly bound arms. Strangely, he felt that his temper, which hadn’t been good for the past few days, had become even more sensitive.
Even as he swept his hair back and headed back to the bathroom, Hae-jin remained motionless. Judging by his trembling body, he seemed to be cold, but he wasn’t moving; it was strange.
“Jin. I’ve done this much, so get lost quickly.”
“…….”
At Ryle’s cold voice, Hae-jin struggled. But his legs didn’t move well, probably because he had been treated harshly again today. He hadn’t eaten properly yesterday either. To make matters worse, his left leg, injured in an accident, throbbed as if another Heavy Rain was coming.
Ryle called Hae-jin’s name as he pleased. It wasn’t a sweet nickname or anything. When they first faced each other with the contract, Ryle was bothered by Hae-jin’s exotic name. Then, as if putting a name on an object, he spoke nonchalantly.
‘What a bothersome name. I’ll just call you Jin.’
It was an attitude that there was no reason to painstakingly pronounce an unfamiliar name. In his first meeting with Ryle, Hae-jin felt something inside him shatter. The name his adoptive parents had carefully given him was also smashed to pieces in this mansion.
Anyway, he had to move quickly now. For some reason, his employer didn’t want to see him relieved today either.
However, unlike Hae-jin’s wishes, his body acted on its own. His arms were free, but as he hurriedly moved his feet, his knees buckled.
Ryle was looking at Hae-jin with annoyance. He was an Omega he was using well because he was always obedient, but why was he acting so slow today? It would be annoying if he demanded something using this as an excuse.
Then, he suddenly noticed Hae-jin’s legs twitching incessantly. Only then did Ryle realize that his legs had given out from the sex and lost interest. And he went into the shower room, just as he had turned around earlier.
For him, it was a very rare and long whim.
“That’s all.”
“Get out.”
Ryle didn’t even look at the Secretary who had finished the report and gave the order. The Secretary, who assisted him most closely, quietly left the room as if accustomed to such an attitude.
For a long time, the rustling sound echoed in the office. His piercing blue eyes never left the documents for a moment. The Vermouth family originally ran a large corporation that dominated the economy, but since Ryle took over as Chairman, its size had grown significantly.
Lifting his head for a moment, Ryle rubbed his forehead irritably. Only after his perfectly styled blonde hair was slightly disheveled did he remove his hand that had been pressing down on his forehead. He lamented that his work efficiency would be higher if this damn pheromone didn’t bother him.
Tapping the glossy black and huge desk, he endured the pain and suddenly recalled Hae-jin’s black hair. It was just a coincidence. He hadn’t used this desk for very long, and it was an unusual flow of thought that he had only just thought of it now.
A white face contrasting with black hair, a white body suddenly popped out on its own, then changed to yesterday’s unsightly appearance.
“…….”
Although he was wielding him through a contract, he had no intention of giving him more humiliation than necessary. Of course, ordinary people would think this when binding someone’s arms because it’s annoying to catch them, but unfortunately, Ryle was not such an ordinary person.
From birth, he was the sole heir to the Vermouth family. After his parents were involved in some kind of incident and passed away early, he was a young master who defended his position against the fierce attacks of distant relatives. At first, even the relatives who tried to take his place unconditionally had to bow their heads to Ryle’s abilities.
Some joked that Ryle ordered the bathwater to be prepared from the moment he was born. Everyone said that he was a human being who fit the trait of a Dominant Alpha, but Ryle didn’t think so. Whether he was an Omega or a Beta, he would have taken this position.
As Ryle tapped the black desk again, he remembered that Hae-jin’s eyes were the same black as his hair. And also the fact that it had been a very long time since he had seen Hae-jin’s bare face.
Until now, he hadn’t even cared what Hae-jin did after their business was over. If he hadn’t seen such an unsightly crumpled appearance yesterday, if he hadn’t been so thin that he could feel the bones of his ass every time he shook his waist, this indifference would have continued.
Come to think of it, had the Butler been cleaning up such messes all this time?
Ryle paused for a moment when he remembered this fact. The fingers that had been tapping the desk stopped abruptly. An incomprehensible emotion spread like smoke in his heart.
His legs were so weak that he couldn’t even move, so he must have seen that explicit sight. No, the Butler must have taken care of it on his own. So that useless complaints like shame wouldn’t come out.
Again, the thoughts continued. The sound of his fingers, which had been cut off, continued. Ryle continued to think without even realizing that he had stopped momentarily. Before he knew it, deep lines were etched on his forehead.
But why was he so thin?
They had sex at least once every two days. No matter how much he hated Omegas, Ryle couldn’t help but know Hae-jin’s body well. Even if it was a bleak relationship where he never even faced his face, but only used him in an upside-down position.
A slender waist that was almost half covered by one hand suddenly tore through his thoughts. So was the ass that was so thin that he could feel the rough resilience when he shook his waist.
Come to think of it, Hae-jin was one of the most unique Omegas he had contracted with so far. First of all, he had lasted a whopping 5 years in his mansion. This was because Omegas with strong pride could not withstand Ryle’s treatment. No matter how desperate they were for money.
In contrast, Hae-jin was a useful contract partner. The fact that he had never even seen Hae-jin’s face except when he needed him was especially true. Among the Omegas who responded to such humiliating contracts, there were cases where they came with the purpose of seeking other kinds of attention from Ryle. Therefore, Hae-jin’s value, who was hard to see even once unless it was time for pheromone release, shone even more.
But to be so thin while living in his mansion. An inexplicable displeasure dyed his heart more deeply. Ryle didn’t want rumors that the Vermouth family was even oppressing guests who were half-detained. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it wouldn’t help his reputation.
Lifting his pen again, Ryle thought lightly that he should tell Hae-jin about the contract regarding body care once again. He didn’t know what he was thinking, being so negligent in fulfilling the contract, but Ryle didn’t care. The important thing was that he liked the relationship where he didn’t have to face him, just like now.
The interest in Hae-jin, which had briefly spread like smoke, disappeared as suddenly as it had risen. On Ryle’s face, holding the documents in his hand, there was no trace of the doubts or displeasure he had felt for a moment.
“Today is a day I absolutely have to go.”
“Ah, well. That’s none of my business. I told you to tell me in advance.”
“I clearly told you three days ago!”
“I didn’t hear it? But damn, where are you shouting so loudly? Huh?”
The burly Mr. Driver stepped up to Hae-jin as if threatening him. At times like this, he felt sorry for his small physique, typical of Asians. Still, Hae-jin didn’t give up and stood trembling in place.
Today was the day to pay the returning hospital bill, so he had to go. Of course, the money was being provided by the Vermouth family without fail, and the signature Hae-jin made was just a formality.
But even such a formality was desperate for Hae-jin. In the first place, the hospital was not very active in treating his adoptive parents, even if Hae-jin brought a lot of money. It had improved since he moved to a hospital under the Vermouth family, but the doctors’ eyes, saying that he was pouring precious money into the air, always made Hae-jin feel intimidated.
“I have to go. This is also in the contract…….”
“Ah, I have no idea about the contract you made with the higher-ups. Anyway, I didn’t receive instructions to take the car out today, did I?”
Sadness surged up, but Hae-jin shut his mouth tightly. The one condition he had set while pouring all his time into this humiliating contract was this: to be allowed to visit his adoptive parents regularly.
It was Ryle who said he would provide a vehicle for that. Perhaps it was to monitor him so that he wouldn’t wander around unnecessarily. Whatever the purpose, he was treating even the contract so carelessly.
Whether Hae-jin was sad or not, Mr. Driver took out a cigarette and sneered at him. At first, he wondered if the owner was cherishing him as a mistress because he was taking an Omega to the hospital. Unlike the rumors, the owner of Vermouth was also an Alpha bastard.
However, Mr. Driver, who had entered through the Butler’s connections, soon eavesdropped on rumors while loitering around the mansion. It turned out that this Omega bastard was just being treated like a tool for the Alpha to fuck.
The servants were already ignoring this small Asian Omega as they pleased. Even though 5 years had passed, their employer had never cared about the Omega even once. Naturally, Mr. Driver’s attitude was also determined. He began to find it annoying to have to go that far every two weeks and wait.
Yesterday, he had even poured alcohol until dawn, so he had a hangover. He didn’t know what hope the Omega had and went to the hospital so regularly, but it was obvious. He was probably going to see if he had a baby. Thinking about that, he didn’t like the way he was shouting about the contract in front of him even more.
He simply ignored the fact that the Butler had told him to take the Omega to the hospital every two weeks on his own when he got this job. After all, this Omega wasn’t even the subject of gossip anywhere.
“Damn it.”
Hae-jin, with a hardened face, calmly listened to Mr. Driver’s vulgar curses. This Mr. Driver, who had been replaced a year ago, was very annoyed by Hae-jin’s outing, which only took place every two weeks. That fact was not only obvious but also turned into coldness, but he silently endured it. All he needed was a means of transportation.
“Anyway, I don’t know anything about it.”
“……I understand.”
Suppressing his sadness, Hae-jin turned around. If that order was the problem, he had to go to the Butler right now and explain the situation. He hoped that the Butler had simply forgotten because he was busy.
“Damn it, you’re a body-selling brat, but you’re so stiff.”
“…….”
Hae-jin didn’t turn around even at the chilling curses he heard from behind. There was nothing left for him to gain by responding here. And perhaps that was an expression that very simply explained how the servants saw him.
Cough, a dry cough came up. It was because he had been out in the cold for too long. His shivering body seemed to be breaking down, so he became even more anxious. Ryle was sensitive to his physical condition, so he was going to get a checkup when he went to the hospital today.
He hurriedly went inside the mansion to find the Butler, but he was not there. Even if he asked about his whereabouts, the servants did not give him a satisfactory answer.
Hae-jin stamped his feet and wandered around the entire mansion. He asked the servants he met about the Butler’s whereabouts, enduring their coldness. But there was no gain. It would be nice if they could at least tell him where the Butler had gone.
After searching for the Butler for a long time, Hae-jin despaired when he saw the time. Even if he left right now, he wouldn’t be able to make it to visiting hours.
He ended up not being able to see his hospitalized parents that day.
Hae-jin, who had been curled up on the bed in the clothes he had been wearing to go out, raised his head sharply when he heard the commotion outside. As soon as he realized that it was the sound he had been waiting for, he hurriedly moved his body and headed outside.
He despaired the moment he realized that the servants didn’t know the Butler’s whereabouts, but simply didn’t want to deal with Hae-jin. He couldn’t even go to the hospital alone because he didn’t have any money on hand.
The money he received as compensation for the contract was entirely spent on his adoptive parents’ hospital bills. The small amount of money Hae-jin had brought with him was almost gone because he hadn’t been able to do any other work in the meantime. Even that was not in cash, so he couldn’t use it right now.
Above all, going to the hospital was the only right he had. Yet, the indifferent Ryle didn’t even protect that.
Hae-jin, who had endured everything else in the meantime, finally exploded.
“Mr. Vermouth!”
When the owner of the mansion arrived, the servants gathered in an orderly manner in front of the huge gate. They had neat appearances that were different from the expressions they had when Hae-jin spoke to them.
He knew that if he went forward now, countless taunts would pour out again tomorrow, but he couldn’t help it. Looking at the Butler’s face, who was out to greet Ryle, it became clear that he had ignored Hae-jin all day, even though he knew he was looking for him.
“……What is it?”
Ryle, who had just gotten out of the car in front of the mansion gate, raised his head at the voice that caught his ear. Hae-jin, with hair that resembled the night, was running towards him from afar.
Ryle’s gaze reached his bare face, which he was seeing for the first time in a long time. It was a very unfamiliar yet familiar face. Above all, Hae-jin had never called out to him like this in the past 5 years.
“Mr. Vermouth, I have something to talk about.”
He suddenly remembered the way the guy had been hesitant when they last had sex. At that time, he thought it was just because his legs hurt, but did he really have something to say?
“You.”
Ryle, who had been showing a brief look of bewilderment, stiffened his body. Hae-jin’s scent, approaching him, rushed in more strongly today. Ryle hated Omega’s pheromones. But the moment he saw Hae-jin facing him in this unfamiliar place, Ryle realized that he had become accustomed to these pheromones at some point. He was so embarrassed that he didn’t even feel any repulsion.
Barely pushing away his thoughts, Ryle frowned. Anyway, he had been quiet in the meantime, so was he such a clever person who could endure while watching for an opportunity like this?
“Mr. Vermouth, today…….”
“If you need anything, tell the Butler.”
“Yes? But…….”
“Are we on such a personal level that we can talk like this?”
“…….”
He gave him a clear reminder of his position because he couldn’t understand what he was saying. Ryle’s time was never cheap. This moment of having to argue without even entering the mansion was very unpleasant.
However, what Hae-jin showed when his words fell was not the shame or embarrassment that a rejected Omega would show.
A sad face resembling heavy rain.
It appeared briefly and disappeared. It was also at that moment that the moonlight, which had been hidden by the clouds, illuminated Hae-jin’s white face and then faded away.
The unexpected scene caught Ryle’s attention. However, even that was only for a very short time, and Ryle thought he had spent enough time. So he ignored Hae-jin, who was still frozen as if he had become a statue, and entered the mansion.
It seemed that his gaze was fixed on his back for quite a long time.
“…….”
Ryle, who was looking down at the clinking whiskey glass, frowned. His face reflected in the glass was slightly distorted, then suddenly changed to Hae-jin’s sad face.
It was all the fault of the Omega, who had been quiet for 5 years and was showing abnormal reactions. Hae-jin’s greatest strength was that he was obedient. He didn’t like the way he was acting arbitrarily like this.
Hae-jin’s face, which he had faced after a long time, was still the same. The youthful face, typical of Asians, created a strange atmosphere even after time had passed.
As in most cloudy cities throughout the year, the clouds often covered the moonlight even at night in this Heavy Rain. The face he saw relying on that faint light gave a different feeling from what he had seen after sex a while ago.
Ryle, who was drinking alcohol irritably, suddenly thought. Wasn’t that expression resembling sadness particularly earnest today?
He should have listened to what he was saying.
“……Ha.”
It was a useless thought. He felt like his rut was approaching, and his head couldn’t concentrate on work and was even getting distracted.
He swept his hair back with a touch of irritation, counting the days until his rut. Only a few days left.
He didn’t have time to waste his mental energy on such unnecessary things. Vermouth Corporation, as large as the vast funds it possessed, awaited his decisions every minute, every second. If there was a rut period, there would be a gap in his work, so he had to prepare in advance.
Even as he brought his thoughts this far, Hae-jin’s face floated in his mind. It was an irritating sensation, even causing a slight headache.
That face that shone so brilliantly even in the dark night, those black eyes.
“……”
Feeling inexplicably thirsty, Ryle poured himself another drink, even though he had intended to stop.
Amidst the clinking ice, Ryle found Hae-jin’s face again. That clean face, to the point of being unpleasant.
Omegas are a nuisance. They are more swayed by their instincts than Alphas. It’s best to stay away if you don’t want to inherit the foolishness of your ancestors.
Butler will take care of Hae-jin’s matter. The inferior gene Alpha Butler was a capable man who had managed this mansion for a long time. His only flaw was a bit of greed, but Ryle didn’t pay much attention since he was loyal to him. In any case, he believed that Butler would meticulously manage Hae-jin, as his role was important.
Unaware of how much of a rift this decision would create.
The next day, Hae-jin left the mansion alone.
Yesterday, he cried alone in his room for the first time in a long time. It was a dry weeping, the tears he wanted to shed but couldn’t since about three years into living in the mansion.
The few drops of tears that fell seemed to indicate that he had reached his limit, and they no longer flowed. Hae-jin was tormented by a faint fear that his insides had become empty, and he greeted the morning.
The rumor had spread throughout the mansion, and the food that was brought to him every morning didn’t arrive. The enormous contract fees that Hae-jin received were being used up for hospital bills. So, he had to rely on the food, clothing, and shelter provided by the mansion to live. In the first place, Ryle had said directly when drafting the contract that he didn’t have to worry about other incidental things.
However, it had been quite some time since those basic things had been kept. The clean clothes that were provided every day didn’t come as often, and sometimes he had to clean his room himself.
Surely, the great Vermouth family wasn’t short of money. This was just the damage caused by Ryle’s indifference. Hae-jin felt that clearly from Ryle’s attitude yesterday, who didn’t even seem to consider listening to his words.
He could have searched for Butler again as Ryle had said, but Hae-jin didn’t. No, he couldn’t. He was too miserable to have to grab onto the servants and beg after what had happened yesterday.
So, he left the mansion for now. There was still some emergency money in his bank account. He planned to walk to where the bank was, and then withdraw the money and call a taxi to return.
“It’s cold.”
The late autumn weather had one foot in winter. The autumn rain, falling like fog, made the surroundings even more desolate.
The city he was in, Heavy Rain, was originally famous for its heavy rain. He couldn’t remember when he had last seen the sky shining brightly, as it was always gray.
The Vermouth family’s main mansion was located on the outskirts of Heavy Rain. This included a bold design that turned the entire surrounding area into a meadow for security reasons. Building a large mansion in the city with the most expensive land in the country made one realize the Vermouth family’s wealth.
But now, it was just an obstacle for Hae-jin. He had to walk quite a distance to the city where cars were running. He had avoided walking for long periods of time since the accident, but there was no other way. His left ankle throbbed due to the rain and the sudden pace.
Braving the cold late autumn rain, Hae-jin finally reached the city. His toes were completely wet and very cold, but the citizens of Heavy Rain knew that they had to walk diligently in times like these.
In fact, he might not have to go so urgently. Although he was concerned about the documents, he could wait a day or two more and take the car provided by the mansion again. Perhaps Butler wouldn’t want the contract to be disrupted either.
But strangely, he felt rushed. He desperately wanted to see his parents’ faces and tell them that he was struggling but working hard. Perhaps the cold treatment at the mansion had left a mark on his heart.
His parents, who had fallen into a coma immediately after the accident, were becoming increasingly emaciated. His mother, who had always warmly hugged Hae-jin so tightly that he couldn’t breathe, was now just skin and bones, barely clinging to her tenacious life.
Hae-jin believed that they were breathing so faintly entirely for his sake. So that Hae-jin, who had already been left alone once, would not be left alone again.
Just around this corner was the bank. The thought of hurrying to the hospital to see his parents’ faces warmed his heart. He was a day late in paying the hospital bills, but he hoped he could handle it without any problems.
As he finally dragged his heavy legs into the city, a line of luxury cars pulled up near him. It was such a sudden event that passersby stared.
Hae-jin, thinking it wasn’t his business, diligently moved his legs. Until a bodyguard who got out of the car called him.
“Mr. Bright.”
“……”
Hae-jin simply turned to look at the person who had called him quietly. Strangely, he had a bad feeling. He resented that it had to be today, of all the days he had to go to the hospital.
“Mr. Vermouth is looking for you.”
“Can’t I go after stopping by the hospital?”
“No.”
Before his words could even finish, the bodyguards had already surrounded him. As if they had no intention of listening to anything Hae-jin had to say in the first place.
Among the bodyguards, each a head taller than him, Hae-jin felt extremely powerless and small. As he moved his lips several times, his arm was grabbed roughly and he was dragged to the car.
Through the car door that slammed shut, he could still see the cloudy sky. Hae-jin could only swallow a sigh.
“Not yet?”
“They’ve found him.”
The headache that had started abruptly after coming to work continued. Then, from around noon, it started to become unbearably irritating. It was a sign of rut.
Quickly wrapping up his work, Ryle coldly assessed his condition. Traits were inconvenient for this reason. He couldn’t understand why Alphas and Omegas were made as a pair in the first place, it was such an unreasonable body structure. It often seemed that this gene demanded more than just sticking a penis into an Omega’s hole, and Ryle was filled with annoyance to the point of bursting.
So, he hurriedly returned to the mansion, but Hae-jin wasn’t in his place. The guy who had contracted to always be in his place when he needed him.
As he naturally recalled Hae-jin’s black hair, a headache assailed him. In the past five years, Hae-jin had never not been in his place when Ryle needed him. He probably knew that his rut was near, but how absurd was it that he would carelessly leave his place without saying a word at a time like this?
At that moment, the car he had sent entered the garden. Hae-jin, with his arms grabbed by the bodyguards, was being dragged out of it. It looked as if he was being forcibly dragged to a place he didn’t want to go.
Ryle unknowingly approached him. There were many things about his appearance that he didn’t like.
“……”
As Ryle looked down at Hae-jin, who had come right in front of him, he unintentionally pushed away the bodyguard’s arm roughly. The bodyguard quickly bowed his head and stepped back, but Hae-jin’s head remained lowered and didn’t come up.
That made him strangely angry.
“Being in that place whenever I need you is our contract.”
“The contract is……!”
It was that face again. The face full of sorrow that he had shown that night.
His head throbbed madly again. For a moment, the surroundings slowed down, and Hae-jin’s face was etched into his retina like a sculpture. It seemed that the rut was finally about to begin. Pheromones were half a beat faster, so was the reason his body had been so sensitive for the past few days because of a rut that was coming faster than his cycle?
“There are many eyes watching. Let’s go inside for now, Master.”
Butler, who had quickly intervened at that moment, said to Ryle. Thanks to that, Hae-jin’s mouth, which was about to say something more, was also blocked. Instead, a look of resentment was directed at Butler this time.
Was he acting like this because his words were being ignored? Ryle was so dumbfounded that he grabbed Hae-jin by the scruff of his neck and dragged him into the mansion. He couldn’t suppress his impulses at all. An irrational obsession to return Hae-jin to his rightful place controlled him.
He struggled a little and was dragged along. The way he seemed to be intentionally dragging one leg more irritated Ryle.
Due to the sudden commotion, all the servants who were on their way disappeared. Butler also came along to prepare Hae-jin, but then he noticed the atmosphere and stepped back. Hae-jin thought it was rather fortunate, as he felt uncomfortable with Butler’s gaze that unpleasantly scanned him every time he tied him up naked.
However, seeing Ryle holding his scruff with a fierce look, his body trembled involuntarily. An oppressive pheromone poured down on his entire body.
“I, I have to go to the hospital. The payment……”
But even as he managed to speak, Ryle, who was walking ahead, stopped abruptly. Only then did he realize that he was leading Hae-jin roughly, and he let go of his hand. He came to his senses as he was left alone with Hae-jin in the hallway where everyone had disappeared.
His unusually rough behavior showed him in an extreme way that his body was not normal. This was why an Alpha’s body was inconvenient. Because his rational behavior was not possible just because his pheromones were congested.
“You know that kind of thing is just a formality. Go after it’s over.”
“But……!”
Ryle’s temper, which he was barely trying to calm, became even more fierce. Hae-jin’s appearance, who had always been obedient without adding a word, stimulated him as if he was popping up. The presence of the guy he hadn’t paid attention to for the past five years was as if he had been crouching down and suddenly revealed himself.
Ryle pressed hard on his forehead, which was complaining of a headache, and barely responded rationally.
“Is today the day specified in the contract?”
“It’s not, but……”
“Then what’s the problem?”
His short patience disappeared like smoke. Like that day when he had recalled Hae-jin’s face for no reason, it was fleeting.
That’s how the rut began in earnest.
Ryle was the type to manage his pheromones meticulously. He hated Omegas, but he also looked down on Alphas who flaunted their traits. Therefore, he prided himself on managing his pheromones so cleanly that it wasn’t obvious that he was a Dominant Alpha.
Around him, however, a fierce pheromone was rampaging. Due to his Dominant trait, Ryle had to spend a very rough rut period against his will. Hae-jin’s face, who watched it from the closest distance, quickly turned pale.
His rut had come a little earlier than his cycle.
“……Please let me go to the hospital when it’s over.”
Hae-jin knew exactly what his role was. So, he barely swallowed his sorrow. This was a familiar thing.
He had to finish it first and then let him go. It would be a few days late, but this time he had to tell Ryle directly to make sure he kept the hospital schedule in the contract.
Although it was said to be an equal contract, in reality, Hae-jin was just the weak one. He was used to suppressing his sorrow and dissatisfaction for now.
“Do whatever you want, that’s up to you.”
Without knowing what consideration Hae-jin had given him, Ryle swept his hair back irritably. From his point of view, he couldn’t understand why Hae-jin, who was faithfully visiting the hospital every two weeks according to the contract, was acting like this. So, this time he grabbed Hae-jin’s wrist and walked forward without hesitation.
The spacious mansion was just annoying today. His body, swayed by pheromones, was very uncomfortable, but he also recalled Hae-jin’s scent familiarly.
As they entered the room where they mixed their bodies every time, he could see the neatly arranged room. Only after reaching that place did Hae-jin feel his vision turn dark.
Now, Ryle’s pheromones were pouring out so heavily that they weighed down the room. Rut lasted for several days, unlike normal pheromone emissions. The thought of directly receiving that fierce gesture already exhausted him.
Hae-jin suppressed his trembling body and slowly took off his clothes. It was very shameful to take them off while being watched by Butler’s dirty eyes. But in front of Ryle’s blue eyes, he felt even more intimidated. For some reason, he felt more and more withdrawn as Ryle became rapidly silent and only looked at Hae-jin’s body.
Hae-jin, who had tightly closed his eyes, quickly put on the eye mask that was placed next to him. It would be a little better if he couldn’t see anything at all, as usual. Sitting on the soft bed, he felt his body sink.
Then, after hesitating, he picked up the rope next to him and handed it in the direction where Ryle was. He couldn’t tie his hands alone, so he couldn’t help it. Hae-jin was very embarrassed because this had never happened before.
A large hand took the rope, and their fingertips brushed against each other. As his vision turned black, these sensations became more sensitive, and Hae-jin’s intention to escape failed. He even felt clearly that Ryle’s gaze was fixed on his naked body. Of course, that couldn’t be. Ryle must have taken the rope as if he was annoyed.
Hae-jin, who had reflexively turned over and turned his arms back, was startled and turned forward again. He shouldn’t upset Ryle now, but he honestly didn’t have the confidence to endure being tied up behind his back for several days. His body was too chilly because he had walked in the rain for a long time. He had almost no sensation in his injured ankle.
“F, forward.”
Ryle had never hit Hae-jin, but he might get slapped this time. He was glad again that his eyes were covered.
Ryle, who had been quietly watching Hae-jin’s movements, turned his gaze to the rope in his hand. Hae-jin’s two hands, which he had held out forward, were trembling. And on his wrists, there were many bruises that had not been erased and had accumulated.
The many bruises, as if telling the passage of time, strangely kept attracting Ryle’s attention. Of course, it wasn’t that he had any guilt about treating Hae-jin like this now. Ryle thought he was providing enough compensation for it.
At that moment, a pain that felt like his head was splitting open began due to pheromone congestion. Just as Ryle, who had rubbed his forehead, was about to coldly say that tying him up this time was enough, someone knocked on the door of the room urgently.
“M, Master……!”
Butler, who had noticed the atmosphere and stepped back earlier, knocked and opened the door before hearing a reply. At that moment, Ryle moved his body in a direction he couldn’t understand himself.
Hae-jin couldn’t see it because his eyes were covered, but Ryle reflexively stood in front of him quickly to cover his naked body.
“I, I have urgent news……”
As he realized that, he was consumed by displeasure. He hated the fact that he had acted like an Alpha trying to protect his Omega. That displeasure sharpened his pheromones, which were thickly laid out. Butler, who was just an inferior gene Alpha, was suffocated and turned pale in front of the powerful Dominant pheromones.
“Don’t interrupt.”
After saying that briefly, Ryle closed the door. It seemed that his secretaries had contacted him even after he had hurriedly returned to the mansion. They probably hadn’t expected his rut to come right away.
However, now that the rut had come, he could postpone any work. Butler would judge and report on his own.
The displeasure that had risen once did not subside easily. Thanks to that, Ryle turned around roughly and tied Hae-jin’s two arms, which were still obediently holding out forward. It was much better now that the bruises were covered by the rope.
This humiliating preparation was caused by the Omega he had contracted with before. He didn’t know what he expected from Ryle, but he kept clinging to Ryle under the pretext of bonding. Thanks to that, Hae-jin, who was tied up from the beginning, didn’t even have a chance to reach out to Ryle. Not giving him that chance in the first place was Ryle’s method, which was also revealed in his business management.
“Ugh.”
He involuntarily put strength into his hands. He also hated his Dominant trait, which forced him to do this pathetic thing for the rest of his life. Ryle controlled his roughly boiling insides and averted his gaze from Hae-jin.
There was an important negotiation in a few days. The reason why the secretaries had belatedly chased him to the mansion must have been that. So, it was rather good. Now that the rut had come, he had to quickly return his brain, which was causing this reaction, to its original state. Then he would be able to successfully complete the negotiation with a very clear and proper mind.
“Lie down.”
In a coldly hardened voice, Ryle ordered Hae-jin. Hae-jin, who had been startled, moved obediently like someone who had given up on everything.
He repeated the thought in his head incessantly. He was most worried about the well-being of his adoptive parents, but he recalled Ryle’s words from earlier and tried to suppress his rebellious spirit.
As he said, Hae-jin’s signature was just a formality. Besides, he was nominally a patient of the Vermouth family, so there wouldn’t be a problem if the signature was delayed by a day or two.
However, sometimes unexpected misfortunes stifled people’s breath.
Like the truck that had stolen his happiness whole.
“Ugh.”
His relationship with Ryle had never been easy, but this time it was especially overwhelming. Even considering that this was a rut, the thrusting was unusually violent. His lower body was already so wet that it made a squelching sound. Hae-jin was shaken relentlessly by Ryle’s constant onslaught, leaving him no room to breathe.
Thanks to that, he had to bite his lip with all his might. He couldn’t even stop the moans that leaked through, to the point where he wished he had been given a gag today.
“Haa…”
Looking at Hae-jin’s waist, which was mostly covered by his hands, Ryle tried to suppress his fiercely boiling instincts. Hae-jin didn’t know, but Ryle was making a lot of effort to pull himself together during each rut.
However, today, that effort was in vain, and his body kept tensing up. As he had confirmed last time, Hae-jin’s body was gaunt and emaciated. Realizing that, it seemed like the bones in the guy’s wrists and ankles, which he had seen when he tied him up earlier, were more prominent.
Ryle frowned at that fact, feeling displeased. As expected, once this rut was over, he would have to threaten him to take care of his body properly, as per the contract.
“Hng, ugh, ugh.”
Because he was holding Hae-jin’s body directly, unlike usual, the contact increased. Since he couldn’t see his hands tied behind his back, it felt deceptively like a proper sexual act.
Amidst the flowing lust, Ryle tried hard to get through the rut in a dry manner. However, Hae-jin’s inner walls, which were stickily enveloping his genitals, quickly disrupted his mind. Gradually eroded by that sensation, he soon flipped Hae-jin’s body over as if possessed.
Hae-jin, who was lying straight on the bed for the first time in months, blinked his eyes from under the blindfold. Ryle, who usually valued efficiency, preferred to quickly thrust into him from behind about once every two days to achieve pheromone release.
However, during the rut, such control and efficiency didn’t work well, and he inevitably ended up in various positions. Thanks to that, Hae-jin had to roll around on the bed, tossed around by rough hands.
It was meaningless to ask which was more miserable. However, Hae-jin thought it was better to just endure while lying face down. That way, he could at least kill his emotions and endure by thinking of himself as a tool. After all, what they were doing wasn’t an act between lovers.
“…Ugh…”
Hae-jin, who had been biting on the blanket to endure, gritted his teeth when even that became impossible. He could feel his legs, spread wide apart, shaking in the air. Hae-jin didn’t know what kind of expression Ryle was looking down at him with.
And Ryle, who was looking down at him with a completely different expression than Hae-jin imagined, was gradually losing his mind.
The blindfold was slightly askew, covering most of Hae-jin’s face. Yet, as he watched the black hair flutter, Ryle could easily recall Hae-jin’s face this time.
Below the elegant bridge of his nose, he could see lips that were panting but tightly shut. His gaze was fixed on the lips that were bitten so tightly that they had turned white. Ryle unknowingly approached those lips little by little.
Even during the rut, he moved Hae-jin roughly, but he didn’t do anything like caressing. It was like a ban that he had barely managed to impose with his strong willpower. Yet, today, it was too much of a burden to keep his mind in check. Ryle, who had been approaching the roughly chapped lips as if possessed, barely turned his face away at the last moment.
But that was it; his self-control eventually collapsed. Opening his mouth wide, he bit Hae-jin’s neck as it was.
“Ugh…?”
Hae-jin, startled, made a strange noise. Hearing that, his lower abdomen strangely heated up. With his neck bitten, Ryle instinctively rubbed his face. One of the most representative parts where an Omega’s pheromone gland was located was the neck.
Hae-jin’s pheromones, which he thought he would never get used to, flowed out faintly. As an inferior gene, he could barely release pheromones unless he was directly stimulated like this. It was a good condition for Ryle, who usually hated the Omega’s pheromones lingering in the mansion.
Thinking this far, Ryle barely regained his senses and lifted his head. He felt annoyed again when he discovered the mark he had left.
Hae-jin, who was shaking violently under him, had a very flustered face. His slightly long black hair was fluttering like the wind. Even though his eyes were covered, it felt like he could see his expression clearly. And that expression soon changed to a sorrowful one under the moonlight.
“…”
Ryle’s expression, who had been moving his waist incessantly, hardened. He felt like his heart was beating so hard that it would burst. He even felt a strange sensation of every cell on his back standing upside down.
Ryle, who had been directly facing the face and gaze of Hae-jin in his imagination, momentarily lost his self-control. It was as if the reason that had been precariously walking a tightrope had fallen off a cliff.
And down below, an anomaly began.
“Ah, ah…!”
“Ugh…”
Hae-jin, who had been forcibly swallowing his moans, couldn’t control himself and made a loud noise at this moment. Ryle was just as flustered to feel his genitals swelling vividly inside the guy.
Why knotting now.
However, once knotting had started, it couldn’t be stopped. Forcibly stopping it would cause great harm to both sides.
With no other choice, Ryle slowly relaxed his body and focused on Hae-jin, into whom he was burying his genitals. The end of his genitals swelled to the size of a fist, filling Hae-jin’s insides. The Alpha’s knotting, containing the tenacity to never come out, was like a symbol of strong obsession.
Sometimes there were pathetic Alphas who frequently knotted for fun rather than for the purpose of pregnancy. He had heard them talking about the pleasure of filling the inside of an Omega with their lewd remarks. At the time, he had scoffed, but surprisingly, the description was lacking. The joy and questions he felt for the first time mixed together and turned Ryle’s insides into a quagmire.
“Ah, it hurts, ahh, ah…!”
Hae-jin’s eyes, widened through the askew blindfold, were slightly visible. The confusion felt even in that brief encounter seemed to represent Ryle’s feelings.
Knotting, which was met in an unprepared state, was painful for the Omega. So Hae-jin unknowingly kept writhing. Thanks to that, Ryle had no choice but to hold Hae-jin tightly in both arms.
The guy’s belly, which was in contact with him, gradually increased in volume. That unfamiliar sensation was directly proportional to the amount of pleasure Ryle felt. Amidst the pleasure that seemed to sweep him away, Ryle was barely able to withstand being swept away.
Thus, the long rut was a series of anomalies from the start.
“…”
Hae-jin was lying down for a long time because he literally couldn’t lift a finger. His arms were free. For some whim, Ryle had released him as soon as the rut was over. Familiar noises could be heard from the shower room.
Judging from the phone call Ryle was making, it seemed that two days had passed. Hae-jin frowned at the throbbing pain he felt on one side of his neck. His lower body was simply numb. They had never had this kind of contact before, but Ryle had bitten Hae-jin’s nape, although only once.
His lower body, which was usually numb from the heavy thrusts, had been thoroughly abused by the knotting. The thought of hurrying back to his room was simply scattered.
It felt like Ryle would come out and tell him to get lost any minute now. Of course, he wouldn’t be coming back to this room, but Hae-jin squirmed with unnecessary worry.
What on earth was he thinking, knotting? Hae-jin didn’t even have the energy to get angry at the absurd situation. It seemed to pass by as such a minor anomaly.
Until the sound of knocking was heard again.
Strangely, it felt like the person standing outside was knocking directly on Hae-jin’s heart. Since this had never happened before, Hae-jin looked at the door with a flustered face. It was also then that Ryle, who he thought would shower and leave right away, suddenly came back into the room.
“Uh…”
Since the blindfold had slipped down, Hae-jin saw Ryle’s firmly muscled body for the first time in a long time. And his genitals that had mercilessly rummaged through his insides. Before their eyes could even meet, Hae-jin quickly lowered his head.
Even if he heard a knock, why did Ryle come back this way?
Ryle, who had been staring at the back of Hae-jin’s head indifferently, put on a gown. He guessed that something urgent had happened at the company and intended to open the door as it was.
Before he could even take two steps, Ryle returned to the bed. Then, he roughly lifted the blanket and covered Hae-jin from head to toe.
“…?”
Ryle swallowed a curse inwardly at the bewildered expression he saw just before he was covered by the blanket. All the pheromones should have been released by the rut, so what was this useless act?
He had to quickly turn his mind elsewhere. He must still be affected because he was stuck in this pheromone-filled room. Thinking that, he roughly opened the door.
Unexpectedly, it was not his Secretary but Butler who was standing outside the door. With a somewhat dark expression.
“What is it.”
“Sir.”
“Speak.”
Even though his permission had been given, Butler looked restless. Hae-jin, who had slightly poked his head out from under the blanket out of curiosity, looked at him at that moment.
Butler, who had made eye contact with Hae-jin, avoided his gaze for a moment. Then, he said to Ryle in a heavy tone.
“Mr. Bright’s parents passed away last night.”
“…What?”
Hae-jin blankly raised his head because he couldn’t hear the words well for a moment. He unknowingly stared intently at Butler’s mouth. He must be hearing things because he was too tired.
Ryle, who had frowned at the unexpected news, suddenly noticed something strange.
“Last night?”
It was broad daylight now. Why was he only telling him about the news of the death that came in last night now?
Butler, who had seen his cold question, hurriedly spat out an excuse. Even Ryle couldn’t help but be dumbfounded by the answer he heard.
“W-Well, when I urgently came to find you before you started, I received a call that they were in critical condition…”
“And?”
He then remembered Butler, who had urgently come to find him before tying up Hae-jin’s hands. Now that he thought about it, no matter how busy he was with work, he wouldn’t dare to open the door he was in without even hearing an answer. At that time, he had already received a call that Hae-jin’s parents were in critical condition and had rushed over.
But why did he stupidly just go back?
“Y-You told me not to disturb you.”
Ryle stared at Butler in disbelief at the absurd excuse. No matter how arrogant he was, there was no reason to tie up an Omega whose parents were dying and spend the rut.
Moreover, the problem was after that. If he had heard the news of the death, he should have reported it in the middle. But he rushed in as if he had been waiting for him to finish his business. Ryle was seriously worried that Butler, whom he had trusted with his work, had gone crazy.
Things have become troublesome.
Ryle inadvertently turned to look at Hae-jin behind him to explain this difficult situation. Hae-jin, who had been collapsed on the bed as if something was missing, also slowly raised his head and looked at him.
The moment their eyes met, Ryle unknowingly inhaled.
Hae-jin was looking him straight in the eye for the first time since he met him. A strong, resentful gaze sharply penetrated him. Ryle suddenly realized that he had never properly made eye contact with Hae-jin in the past five years that they had been together.
Heavy, rain-like resentment flowed into him incessantly. A cold chill ran down his spine as the strong emotion pierced through his body. Huge raindrops filled up to his neck, soaking him thoroughly. The faint pheromones of Hae-jin brushed against the tip of his nose.
The thoughts he had had about Butler’s absurd actions were shattered in the face of the gloomy rain that Hae-jin was pouring out.
And somehow, he felt very suffocated.
“…Get the car ready.”
So Ryle could barely say one more word.
A splendid wreath sent by the Vermouth family arrived at the funeral.
Heavy rain was falling incessantly from the sky.
And Ryle did not come.
Hae-jin, who had finished his parents’ funeral, got into the car with a blank face. Sitting in the back seat of a car that didn’t suit his status, sent by the Vermouth family, he stared gloomily at the sky pouring rain.
Heavy rain fell throughout the funeral. It was a common sight during this time of Heavy Rain, but Hae-jin decided to think that the sky was crying for him instead.
Strangely, tears did not come out. Hae-jin was just crouching alone in the cold funeral hall with no mourners.
Many people had come to his Hyung’s funeral. Bright’s parents were like sunshine in this gloomy city. Naturally, people who pitied the two couples who had fallen into a coma and his Hyung who had left early had constantly visited. He was able to pay for his first hospital bill with the donations he received at that time.
However, the long period of fighting the disease had rendered even that sunshine powerless. Some people had contacted him this time as well, but they couldn’t come to the funeral hall. Hae-jin understood all those people. They were grateful people who had occasionally visited the hospital in the early days of his hospitalization. He thought that any more kindness than this was frankly a luxury.
Watching his parents turn into smoke in the heavy rain, Hae-jin was just getting rained on. Even then, tears did not come out.
He was suddenly struck by the thought that he was very tired.
“Ahem. Mr. Bright.”
“…”
Hae-jin gave a nonchalant look to the Mr. Driver who was calling him. He suddenly realized that Bright was the only one left in this city.
“Well, that, last time…”
“…”
Coincidentally, the Mr. Driver that the Vermouth family had sent him was the same person who had prevented Hae-jin from visiting his parents in the hospital a while ago.
Come to think of it, that was Hae-jin’s last chance to see his parents’ faces.
“Th-That is…”
The Mr. Driver, who had made eye contact with him through the rearview mirror, looked troubled. He silently recalled the violent words he had said, but strangely, he didn’t even get angry. It was as if all the blood had been drained from his body, leaving him feeling like a doll left all alone.
It was that Mr. Driver who had taken Hae-jin to the hospital and funeral hall where his parents had passed away. There was no way he wouldn’t have noticed the situation. Hae-jin, who had grown up to be a quick-witted adult as a child raised in an orphanage for a long time, knew very well what that troubled look wanted.
But there was really not a single reason why Hae-jin should care about that.
So he just nonchalantly turned his gaze back to the outside of the window. It wouldn’t mean anything to him even if that Mr. Driver were to spew out curses right now.
Unexpectedly, the Mr. Driver was very quiet, and the car soon entered the main mansion of the Vermouth family.
“…”
Yes. Hae-jin had to return here. Because he had nowhere else to go right now.
Hae-jin, who had been sitting blankly in the arrived car, finally got out after sitting there for a long time. It was because the Mr. Driver, who had been restless and looking around, quickly got out and opened his car door for him. If the car door hadn’t been opened, he probably would have been sitting there aimlessly, lost on where to go.
Still, once he set foot on the ground, he moved on his own. The Mr. Driver hurriedly held out an umbrella, but Hae-jin ignored that as well and walked. As he trudged along, the room he used was right in front of him.
The warm house where he had grown up had already been sold a long time ago to pay for hospital bills. But it was okay. Because his parents, who he could go see when he was feeling down, were at least in the hospital.
But now there’s nowhere to go back to.
Hae-jin couldn’t open the door and stopped abruptly. His body had been soaked in the short time he had been heading to the mansion. The sound of cold rainwater dripping down his ankles could be heard. In that endlessly damp sensation, Hae-jin realized.
That he was left alone.
“You’ve come.”
Hae-jin turned his head weakly and saw Ryle. Hae-jin, who unintentionally knew his schedule, felt a hint of doubt. Because it wasn’t a time for him to be leisurely at the mansion.
But they weren’t in a relationship where he could ask the reason. As Ryle had publicly declared to all the servants. So Hae-jin just looked at Ryle with a blank face.
“…”
Ryle returned to the mansion with a light step, having successfully concluded an important negotiation. He needed to change clothes and head back to the office right away. It was the first time in a long while that his head felt clear, now that his rut was over.
As he entered the mansion, he saw Hae-jin. Only then did he remember that today was the day he returned from the funeral. It suddenly struck him that the room assigned to Hae-jin was in a rather secluded part of the mansion, even from the outside.
The situation was a bit awkward to simply ignore him and go his own way. After all, his Butler had touched on a rather sensitive issue.
After Hae-jin hurriedly disappeared to the hospital that day, Ryle vehemently questioned the Butler’s actions. It was something he couldn’t understand, even with his skewed common sense.
The Butler had his own excuses. He said that he had received news of Hae-jin’s parents being in critical condition several times since he came to this mansion. Each time, they had managed to pull through, so he had judged on his own that they would get through it this time as well. However, Ryle saw through the underlying psychology in the Butler’s demeanor as he spoke, watching his reaction.
It was an attitude commonly seen in Alphas dealing with Ryle. They were unable to think properly, overwhelmed by his imposing pheromone. In particular, the inferior gene Butler had been severely affected by Ryle’s pheromone during his rut, acting as if the most important thing was the order not to interfere.
Of course, there was no denying that Vermouth’s people had done something terrible to Hae-jin as a result. Ryle thought that the uncomfortable expression on the Butler’s face was because of that. So he instructed him to deliver funeral expenses and condolences to Hae-jin. Even while he was busy going abroad, he didn’t forget to tell him to send flowers as a sign of sincerity.
However, unexpectedly, Hae-jin, who must be suffering from financial difficulties, refused all the money. Ryle was even more unaware that the unnecessarily extravagant flowers could insult the somber funeral hall.
“……”
“……”
He must have been calling him over to smooth things over about that incident. He was planning to tell him not to refuse the money out of foolish pride.
But when he met Hae-jin’s empty eyes, he felt strange. He wondered if loosening his tie earlier hadn’t been enough, as it felt a bit constricting.
Adjusting his neck, Ryle looked over Hae-jin’s appearance again. Seeing him wandering around soaking wet, he seemed quite out of it. Judging that now was not the right time, Ryle showed rare patience.
Before turning away again, he casually threw a word to Hae-jin.
“Ah, we’ll rewrite the contract later.”
After saying it, he realized that this was also a necessary matter. The most important condition of the contract was changing. If Hae-jin was to stay in this mansion, the terms of the contract would have to be revised first.
At that moment, Hae-jin’s lips, which had been staring intently at him for some time, slowly parted. They were bluish from the rain.
“I will quit the contract.”
The moment he heard Ryle’s words, something faintly remaining in his heart crumbled with a faint sound. Hae-jin couldn’t tell what that remaining thing was.
He was just too tired.
“What? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
Unexpectedly, he showed signs of objecting to Hae-jin’s words. He couldn’t even understand that slight emotion. Why was he thinking that Hae-jin would stay in this mansion?
In fact, he hadn’t returned thinking of quitting. The car had just moved in this direction. But hearing Ryle’s words, he realized that he had no reason to stay here either. The fact that he had nowhere to go didn’t necessarily mean he had to stay here.
Ryle frowned and strode towards him. Looking at his own feet, which were not wet from the rain unlike his, Hae-jin said calmly.
“The contract clearly states that I can quit at any time, though.”
“Ha.”
A sudden unpleasantness enveloped Ryle. It was quite a strong emotion, considering his rut was over.
The reason was simple. He was negotiating to catch just an Omega like him. In the first place, Hae-jin became the subject of the contract because he was an inferior gene, had a weak pheromone, and was in the most desperate need of money. Now that that was gone, Hae-jin was just a troublesome Omega that he couldn’t control.
Right, come to think of it, the important reason was gone.
Having thought this far, Ryle regained his cold reason. Then Hae-jin was no longer the top priority for negotiation. If he had expressed his intention to do so, there was no reason to hold him back, was there?
“Fine. Get out of my mansion now.”
Adjusting his tie again, Ryle turned around. It was a dry ending for a relationship that had lasted five years. Ryle’s reason thought that he liked that very much. The unpleasant feeling that still remained was a bit strange, but this too would disappear.
However, before he could take a few steps, he heard the sound of Hae-jin’s door opening, and the unpleasantness only intensified. Ryle pulled his tie down in a fit of pique and headed to his study. He couldn’t stand having the tie around his neck.
Of course, he didn’t look back.
* * *
The contract with Ryle was cleanly settled. So Hae-jin immediately packed his belongings in his room and came outside.
The sun was not visible in the dark rain clouds, but it was already getting dark. Even so, Hae-jin didn’t feel the need to wait until tomorrow to leave this mansion.
He felt like a small machine that moved only when necessary. Feeling a severe sense of emptiness as if something had been drained from him, he trudged out of the mansion. He didn’t have any expectations of getting a ride from the start.
Then he heard hurried footsteps behind him. It was the Butler.
“M, Mr. Bright. Are you leaving now?”
The Butler’s face, which was so hard to come across when he was looking for him, was so easy to see the moment he decided to leave this mansion.
“Yes.”
Since he was already wet, Hae-jin didn’t have an umbrella either. He was still wearing the black mourning clothes, and the old suitcase in his hand was what he had brought into this mansion. The few clothes inside were all he had brought.
Had he called him over because he was afraid he might steal something? As he looked at the Butler with such questions, he flinched his plump body.
“Well, that’s…”
The Butler was startled by Hae-jin’s sunken gaze without an umbrella, and handed him the umbrella he was using.
His face held a nervous expression similar to Mr. Driver. Guilt was the majority, but there were emotions hidden within it. Just like when he saw Mr. Driver, Hae-jin knew well what he wanted.
But wasn’t that none of Hae-jin’s business either?
“I’ll have the car prepared.”
Hae-jin stared blankly at the faint warmth and then looked back at the Butler’s face. Then, he turned around and went his own way, ignoring all the goodwill.
He was just annoyed by everything.
