A tense silence settled in the corner of the living room. The atmosphere was so quiet that even the slightest movement seemed noticeable. Not satisfied with that, Wooyeon added with precise pronunciation.
“Pheromones, even in the amount of an ant’s eye, when dripped forcibly, you think it’s sweet…”
“…What, what?”
The returning student belatedly asked. His wide-open eyes showed a face that didn’t expect such words. Wooyeon glanced around vaguely and then flicked his eyelashes with the back of his hand.
“Stop making a fuss about the truth. At least be careful with your reputation. Why do you keep saying ‘Wooyeon, Wooyeon’ every time you see me?”
“Hey… Did you just say everything you wanted to say?”
“If I didn’t say everything, what would you do?”
Wooyeon challenged with a defiant look. Despite being only half his size, his presence was three times as strong. The returning student’s face turned red, partly because he had been punched by a small guy, and partly because it hurt his pride.
“What the fuck are you saying now? Hey, say it again. What did you say?”
“Jinsang, stop pretending. Even giving alcohol is like begging, so why do you keep pouring pheromones in alcohol?”
It was a very unfair tone. He was quite annoyed, and his eyes were reddish, partly because they were moist, but it looked severe to others. Dohyun intervened with an indifferent voice.
“Did you also get affected by pheromones?”
“Well, I can’t believe it…”
The returning student was noticeably flustered. It was true that he had used pheromones, but in the end, it was a small amount. He gradually increased it because there was no response, but it seemed that Wooyeon knew from the beginning.
“Yeah, I teased him a bit. Huh? If he’s so damn sensitive as a dominant Omega, why the fuck…?”
“Sensitive? Did you say I’m sensitive, now?”
Wooyeon suddenly stood up with a burst of anger. Those around him also hurriedly stood up as if they had one thought in mind, which was to evacuate with Wooyeon if necessary.
“What are you going to do if you get up, huh?”
“Senior, that’s why people dislike you. If you know you did something wrong, you should know how to apologize.”
“Look at this bastard talking. Hey, look, you guys. He started it first.”
The returning student stood up with an angry face. He wasn’t tall, but his physique was incomparable to Wooyeon. Helplessly, Dohyun stood up and completely blocked Wooyeon.
“Stop it.”
Wooyeon stumbled as he was blocked by Dohyun’s back. ‘What are you doing, move aside.’ Even with that request, Dohyun didn’t blink an eye. Meanwhile, a senior approached quickly and supported Wooyeon.
“How can you be so serious about something your junior said while drunk? It’s not the first or second time seeing freshmen getting drunk.”
“Fuck, is he drunk now? He looks perfectly fine! And where did he hide behind…”
“Yeah, I’m not drunk.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Suddenly, as the returning student finished speaking, Wooyeon aggressively pushed aside the senior. He shook his head defiantly and, with widened eyes, even pushed Dohyun aside. Dohyun, still wearing a calm expression, held onto Wooyeon’s arm.
“Wooyeon.”
“… “
A disgruntled breath could be felt. The Omega pheromones were so intense with anger that they surged wildly. All Alphas, and even the Omegas, except for Dohyun, were overwhelmed by the presence that Wooyeon exuded.
“Wooyeon.”
Dohyun once again calmed Wooyeon. At the moment of contemplating whether to exert force to stop him, Wooyeon’s lips slightly curved.
[Fuck.]
A clear voice penetrated his ears. Dohyun blinked, unable to believe what he had heard. It was a straightforward English phrase, simple enough for everyone else to understand by their expressions.
“…Did that bastard just curse now?”
Wooyeon ruffled his hair in frustration. He seemed to have something to say, hesitated with his lips pursed, and then closed his mouth with a frustrated expression. Eventually, Wooyeon, who had smoothed out his pheromones, began speaking in fluent English.
“…”
“…”
It was a silence that could not be compared to anything before. Words that were flamboyantly pronounced popped out, even in comparison to most English listening exercises. Half were curses, and half were something else. Amidst this, the pronunciation was so perfect that it felt like listening to a lecture from a native speaker.
“W-what are you saying?”
The returning student stumbled with a bewildered expression. He wasn’t bad at English, but most of what Wooyeon said was incomprehensible. Partly due to the excellent pronunciation, and partly because Wooyeon threw out words he had never heard before.
Meanwhile, Wooyeon finished everything he wanted to say and smiled triumphantly. His face still didn’t look like that of someone drunk. He glared fiercely at the returning student one last time and confidently walked out of the venue.
“…”
It felt like a hurricane had just passed. Dohyun stared blankly at Wooyeon’s departing figure. The words Wooyeon said echoed in his ears. The profanity and curses he had never heard before swirled like waves.
“Huh.”
Unfortunately, he understood every word Wooyeon had said. The curses were spoken so fluently, along with the ominous insults. A literal translation would be something like this:
[Fuck, you damn bastard. Eat shit and go to hell. Your face is fucking ugly…]
***
Wooyeon crouched in front of a stone wall and looked up at the sky. The air was clear, and a multitude of stars shone as if they were about to pour down. Wow, the moon is bright too. With that thought, Wooyeon brushed his eyelashes lightly.
“Don’t rub your eyes.”
A familiar voice interrupted his action. Suddenly, both his arms were grabbed, and he was lifted up. Helplessly standing on two legs, Wooyeon staggered and bumped his forehead against the shoulders in front of him.
“Ouch…”
“As expected, you’re drunk.”
Dohyun let out a wry laugh as he straightened Wooyeon. He grabbed his arms to stabilize him and firmly held him, trying to steady the swaying Wooyeon. However, Wooyeon couldn’t stand on his own for even three seconds.
“I’m dizzy.”
He even leaned his head against Dohyun’s chest, grumbling. Dohyun, who had momentarily stopped moving, let out an incredulous laugh. Trying to push Wooyeon away, Dohyun found it difficult to stabilize the small body.
“Do you know where you’re leaning right now?”
“I know.”
“It seems like you don’t.”
“I do.”
The sound of loud breathing spread in the quiet surroundings. Dohyun gave up trying to push Wooyeon away and put his hands in his outer pocket. Despite not being supported, Wooyeon continued to lean his head stubbornly.
Time passed silently. Surprisingly, the one who couldn’t endure the silence was Dohyun.
“You don’t have to drink the alcohol if you don’t want to.”
It sounded like a sigh, and there was a hint of reproach in his voice. Wooyeon, setting aside all sorts of excuses, responded hesitantly.
“It’s my first time playing a drinking game.”
“There are many firsts for you.”
Turning his head in the opposite direction, Dohyun sighed lightly. From the chest where Wooyeon leaned, the steady sound of a heartbeat could be heard. Soon, Dohyun mumbled in a voice that was almost inaudible.
“Your pheromones are coming out.”
Wooyeon only reacted to Dohyun’s words after a moment. Staggering, he stood straight, only to wobble and fall against the wall. Dohyun, who had supported the back of his head before he could bump his head, furrowed his brow at a close range.
“How much did you drink?”
After hesitating for a moment, he once again had Wooyeon lean against the wall. Then, he took out a cigarette from his outer pocket and put it in his mouth. With the click, click sound of the lighter, an artificial pheromone scent wafted out.
“Kim Jinsang senior is angry.”
“…”
“As his name suggests, he’s acting like a real jerk.”
“…”
“Are you listening?”
With each word from Dohyun, vibrations were felt at the nape of Wooyeon’s neck. Wooyeon sighed in response and wrapped his arms around Dohyun’s waist inside his outerwear. Dohyun neither hugged him nor pushed him away.
“It’s cold.”
Wooyeon pouted with a small voice. Then he lifted his head to look at Dohyun and fixed his gaze on the cigarette that was clamped in his mouth. Dohyun, still turned away, continued exhaling cigarette smoke.
“So?”
‘Wow, he’s ridiculously sexy.’
The sharp jawline captivated his gaze. Every time he inhaled smoke, the area around his neck subtly moved. The smoke coming out of his well-shaped lips looked surprisingly provocative.
“Wearing the padding alone.”
Wooyeon muttered discontentedly. As he buried his face in the warm nape, Dohyun sucked on the cigarette again. Following his muttered words, an unexpected response came.
“You can’t get angry tomorrow.”
Thud, the long cigarette fell. Dohyun stepped on the spark and exhaled a short breath. Then, with his hand in the outer pocket, he pulled Wooyeon’s body close, enveloping him.
“…”
There was a faint mix of warmth and pheromones. The scent on the clothes and the nape was Dohyun’s characteristic dry pheromone. As Wooyeon snuggled against him, Dohyun, holding him tightly, asked with a murmur.
“Feeling better?”
Not really. His face flushed as if questioning when he got cold. His heart pounded, and the pheromones flowed abundantly.
With a firm head, Dohyun mumbled in a breath-mixed voice.
“You shouldn’t drink.”
“Why?”
“There are reasons.”
Without further probing, Wooyeon closed his eyes. Blinking slowly, each time his vision closed, drowsiness seeped in. Teacher, I’m sleepy. He wanted to say that, but his blurry mind didn’t listen.
“Senior.”
Instead, a different title flowed out. It was a bit awkward, yet a title that had become familiar. Wooyeon’s hesitation seemed ticklish, and Dohyun’s broad chest fluttered slightly.
“Senior, are you a playboy?”
“What?”
Dohyun, with a bewildered laugh, lowered his head. The round head still stuck tightly to the nape. A subtle smile of embarrassment appeared on Dohyun’s lips.
“Why did the conclusion turn out like that?”
“If you only have double eyelids on one side, they call you a playboy.”
Wooyeon lifted his head and looked at Dohyun’s left eye. The only side with a double eyelid in his gentle eyes. Dohyun stared at Wooyeon’s eyes piercingly and responded without hesitation.
“It’s unfair. I haven’t experienced being a playboy yet.”
The gaze felt like a gentle caress on his face. Eyes, nose, mouth. And then the eyes again. Examining Wooyeon inch by inch, Dohyun slightly lowered his head. Wooyeon still held onto Dohyun’s waist tightly.
“Are you sleepy?”
A gentle voice asked Wooyeon. Instead of answering, Wooyeon closed his eyes. Only after he fell asleep as if collapsing, did Dohyun embrace him directly.
Oh god please tell me this means he knows
Wow he nailed it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He stomped him like a bug 🐛🐛🐛 he deserves it
But things won’t be easy from now on especially after the one who called him pig return 😔😔😔😔 please be safe 😭😭😭😭
And on the other side dohyun is sooooooooooooooooo interested in him and he’s showing it 😍
Also, that bastard who used to irritate our MC better not wake up from his coma. Become friends with the hospital bed okay.
I am very positive Dohyun is in love with Wooyeon. Wooyeon is like an enigma to him. He wants to figure him out.. in a good way though. He’s like a puzzle he’s intrigued by, and trying and need to understand.
He got jealous the other time Seongyun (is that correct) had his hand around Mc’s shoulder. Same thing happened with Garam. And he’s been acting like a knight in shining armour. I also want to believe he knows who Wooyeon really is. 4years isn’t that long ago. I still remember clearly things from as far back as when i was 6.
Yeah I think maybe Wooyeon being underage might have been the reason Dohyun cut off contact after the confession.
ur welcomeeee😆💛😍
I didn’t really think he had been a playboy. The students all treat him like he’s unattainable, not like he’s an easy hookup.
That retort was so satisfying.. Every time I read about these drinking parties where some people are forced to drink, I wanted to beat the sh!t outta the seniors.. Good job Wooyeon..
