After finishing lunch, Do-hwa went to the neurology department with Min-jun. The last examination results showed no abnormalities. Therefore, it was concluded that Do-hwa’s amnesia was a heat cycle sequelae accompanied by psychological factors. If Min-jun didn’t know Do-hwa’s lie, the doctor’s judgment would have been helpful, but that wasn’t the case, so it was even more embarrassing.
However, he had to keep his mouth shut until the day he knew the guy’s true identity, as he didn’t know what kind of situation he would end up in if he spoke honestly. Even if the guy regarded him as thick-skinned, there was nothing he could do.
After leaving the neurology department, they moved to the Omega specialist department. Without much waiting, they immediately faced Jin Yuri. He checked Do-hwa’s condition with a stethoscope and thermometer before alternating between the monitor and documents. He had a noticeably serious expression. So Do-hwa became anxious, wondering if something was wrong with his body.
“The condition of Na Do-hwa-ssi is currently stable. The temperature is normal.”
“Oh… I see.”
Do-hwa breathed a sigh of relief and brushed his chest. It was troublesome to have more worries here because of Cha Min-jun’s headache.
“Are there any other discomforts?”
“No, I’m fine now.”
Although it was difficult to walk, he didn’t want to mention that embarrassing situation, which was a consequence of sex. Who knew what would happen if it got more serious.
“Yes, but in the future, your heat cycle might occur more frequently.”
“Why?”
“Each person has unique heat cycle sequelae symptoms. Some patients end up in a wheelchair due to paralysis, while others become bedridden. Na Do-hwa-ssi doesn’t have such symptoms, but it seems the heat cycle might manifest more frequently for him compared to others. Symptoms are already evident.”
“How could that be…”
Do-hwa was perplexed. Come to think of it, he had been feeling warmth in his lower abdomen and moisture between his buttocks since earlier.
“There are no symptoms yet, but it would be a good idea to prepare.”
“I guess I’ll have to help again.”
Min-jun smiled as if waiting. From Do-hwa’s perspective, it was truly unbearable. After suffering so much yesterday, he couldn’t believe he had to stick with that guy again. His back was hurting terribly right now, and he didn’t want to snuggle up to him and whine again.
“Is there any way to prevent the heat cycle, doctor?”
“You were prescribed suppressants last time. Taking those should help. Also, try to avoid excessive drinking. The ethanol in alcohol can exacerbate the heat cycle.”
Yesterday, Do-hwa kept drinking beer while playing drinking games. Considering he wasn’t particularly tolerant to alcohol and kept drinking due to the atmosphere, it was no wonder the heat cycle showed up. He decided to stay away from alcohol entirely from now on.
“If you are pregnant, you should definitely stay away from it.”
Why bring up pregnancy all of a sudden? Do-hwa stared at Jin Yuri as his jaw was trembling.
“Oh, um, am I pregnant?”
Last time Do-hwa was told he needed to become an Omega and undergo imprinting to get pregnant. However, things in the world didn’t always work out as theorized. He wondered if Do-hwa might be such an unfortunate case.

“No, you’re not.”

“P wjvf eccfmfrrjgs gfwjgxr. Gbc’a kbggs jybea la.”
“Alright.”
With Jin Yuri’s reassuring answer, Do-hwa completely let go of his worries. However, Min-jun’s long fingers suddenly reached out and gently grasped Do-hwa’s hand.
“Don’t worry. Even if seonbae gets pregnant, I’ll take responsibility.”
“What nonsense are you spouting in front of the doctor?”
Do-hwa exclaimed. He wanted to get away from the crazy guy as soon as possible, but he couldn’t understand why he was saying such absurd things.
“Seonbae, we’re dating with the assumption of marriage. How is that nonsense? It’s obvious.”
Min-jun furrowed his eyebrows as if hurt. Do-hwa was dumbfounded. However, he could only see them internally as he couldn’t refute the situation. He couldn’t understand why he was tangled up with such a crazy guy. Do-hwa gritted his teeth and tried to calm himself down.
Yuri also sighed. His face was filled with a complex energy. However, before Do-hwa could notice, he quickly returned to his composed doctor’s demeanor.
“There are changes occurring in Na Do-hwa-ssi’s pheromone glands.”
“Changes?”
In a situation already fraught with confusion, the word “changes” only brought about more fear.
“Yes. They’ve become more fluid than before.”
“Is that a good thing then?”
“Of course. It will help with pheromone regulation.”
“Oh? Really?”
At least if pheromone regulation became possible, he wouldn’t need Min-jun anymore, and in the future, he could safely exist without the risk of other Alphas, even if he left him.
“So, how do you regulate pheromones? Is there a technique?”
“There’s no specific technique or anything you need to learn. It’s an issue determined by the development of the pheromone glands. So, if you want to conceal your pheromones, they get suppressed, and if you feel they’re needed or you feel good, they get released. Simply put, it’s similar to blinking.”
Now that the body was ready, it was a matter of willpower. If interpreted that way, it was possible. Do-hwa thought it was a good time to concentrate and try to conceal his pheromones.
Buzz, buzz.
Min-jun’s phone vibrated, and he pulled it out of his coat pocket. With a somewhat tired expression, he stood up from his seat.
“Seonbae, I’ll just take this call real quick.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Who could the other person be to make Min-jun’s expression so unfavorable? Do-hwa also felt a sense of curiosity toward this person. Should he make an excuse to follow and see who it is? He subtly prepared to detach himself from the situation.
“I have something to say to Na Do-hwa-ssi.”
“Me?”
Do-hwa paused his movement.
“This is a message I’m delivering on behalf of someone over there… I hope you’ll listen well.”
What could he be trying to say? As the doctor wore such a serious expression, Do-hwa’s anxiety grew.
“Um, did I perhaps contract an incurable disease?”
In response to Do-hwa’s question, Jin Yuri seemed flustered and shook his head.
“That’s not it. Na Do-hwa-ssi, you’re healthy.”
“Then… why…”
“Keep your distance from Cha Min-jun.”
The fact that he needed to keep his distance from that bastard was something Do-hwa knew better than anyone. It wasn’t shocking to hear such obvious advice, but he was surprised that even this doctor seemed to know quite a bit about Min-jun. Come to think of it, Min-jun’s mother had mentioned receiving help from this doctor. It seemed their relationship was closer than he had thought.
“To be honest, Na Do-hwa-ssi, you and Min-jun are currently imprinted…”
Before Jin Yuri’s words could fall any further, the door to the examination room swung open wide. Being a sliding door, the sound of it opening was louder and more disruptive. At the same time, Min-jun stood crookedly in the doorway. There was a chill in his blue eyes.
Did he have a fight with the person on the phone? Do-hwa began to observe him carefully as he was catching a whiff of the scent of madness from Min-jun. However, Jin Yuri also glanced at Min-jun briefly before closing his mouth again. Min-jun entered the examination room with somewhat rough steps.
“Is the examination over? Can seonbae be discharged now?”
“He can be discharged.”
Yuri’s head turned back to the monitor. What did he want to say about Min-jun? Do-hwa was curious. However, judging by his current attitude, it seemed unlikely he would speak further. Should he come back later to ask… But it felt hopeless, as Min-jun seemed like he would stick around like a stubborn piece of gum.
Just as Do-hwa was about to rise from his seat with a disappointed heart, Jin Yuri glanced away from the monitor.
“Have you taken the suppressants by any chance?”
“No…”
“Then I suppose there’s no need for an additional prescription.”
“Okay.”
After receiving the diagnosis of the heat cycle, there hadn’t been any heat cycles for a while. Do-hwa naturally hadn’t been taking the suppressants. However, since the second heat cycle occurred yesterday and it was predicted to happen more frequently in the future, he felt he would naturally need to seek them out.
“Please contact us when you run out.”
“Yes, I understood.”
“Seonbae won’t need to take the suppressants.”
Min-jun responded in a calm voice, who had approached behind Do-hwa without him noticing. Then his graceful fingers gently brushed Do-hwa’s cheek.
“Because I’m here.”
Do-hwa felt a sharp shiver run down his spine at his assistive touch. Jin Yuri turned his gaze completely back to the monitor as he seemed to have decided not to add anything further. With the instruction to come back in ten days as the last words, as the next patient entered, Do-hwa left the examination room with Min-jun.

Do-hwa got into Min-jun’s car. As he did, he felt like he couldn’t breathe and his body was getting feverish. It seemed that the heat cycle was slowly approaching now. However, he tried his best to maintain a composed expression. He was anxious that if Min-jun knew his condition, he would immediately initiate sex.
He attempted to fasten the seatbelt on the passenger seat. But Min-jun casually intervened as he was beside him, causing their hands to brush against each other.
“Seonbae, are you feeling feverish right now?”
In a fleeting moment, Min-jun proceeded to fasten the seatbelt for him, having read Do-hwa’s body temperature. Then, he quickly placed his hand on Do-hwa’s forehead. At the same time, Do-hwa felt his labored breathing easing. However, when Min-jun removed his hand, the heat surged back like a flame.
“Let’s hurry home. I’ll help you.”
Do-hwa couldn’t believe he was going to experience another intense moment with him. It felt like madness.
“Um, you see… Min-jun, I just want to take the suppressants.”
“The doctor said it’s better to naturally resolve it than to take suppressants.”
“But that’s…”
“Do you not want to have sex with me?”
To be honest, it wasn’t that he didn’t want it, but quite the opposite. It was too intense, too overwhelming. He feared that he might end up giving up everything and settling down with this terrifying guy, simply because he enjoyed it too much. He was scared that without it, his body might become unbearable. It was frightening. Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to say he didn’t want it as he was fearing Min-jun’s reaction. So, he chose his words carefully.
“That’s not it. I’m just in pain.”
The knotting in reality was painful. As his massive member swelled up, it was enough to make him lose his mind.
“I’ll make sure it doesn’t hurt. So please, don’t refuse.”
“But it takes up a lot of time. You must be busy too…”
“When I’m with seonbae, what could be more important? It’s an honor, really.”
Min-jun was now determined to have sex one way or another. Do-hwa felt despair creeping in. Having to do that with him again…
I’m getting nervous for you Do-hwa 😭
do hwa and his priorities/focus 😂 he clearly knows the condition to get pregnant, and he just heard the doctor said he already imprinted.. CMJ clearly wont agree with suppressants why not bring up the next best thing? protection
