The smell of disinfectants didn’t feel pleasant all of the time. Kwon Taejung knocked on the director’s door and opened it immediately. Cho Hyunjoon, a doctor and Kwon Taejung’s friend mouthed at him to come in and welcomed Kwon Taejung, without being startled as if it was something he was used to.
“Rather than coming on your rut, can’t you get a checkup often?”
“The reports say that there is no problem every time so why would I bother coming? It will be enough if I come for a checkup at least once a year.”
“Then why did a person who thinks come to visit me today?”
“Increase my inhibitor dosage.”
Cho Hyunjoon who was previously joking with Kwon Taejung, had his expression turn serious at Kwon Taejung’s words. Kwon Taejung sat in a chair in front of Cho Hyunjoon and fumbled his huge figure.
“Why inhibitors? This amount is enough for now.”
“I can’t control it.”
“Since when? You can’t control yourself at all?”
“I have my inhibitors every morning but I happened to take one during the day yesterday. Maybe that’s why. I can suppress my pheromones but I can’t control my impulse at all.”
Cho Hyunjoon nodded with a serious expression because it was the first time he had heard such a thing from Kwon Taejung.
“Did your retaliatory driving happen because of that impulse as well? Because your inhibitors weren’t working?”
“Hey, do you only read the fiesta article and forget about the updates?”
“People usually remember the first incident.”
“That was because that fucking bastard threatened me first so I returned the favor. The thing I wasn’t talking about wasn’t about retaliation or anything…how can I say this…that…”
It certainly didn’t seem like a joke. Kwon Taejung, who didn’t come for a checkup often even after how much he pressed him to, came over with a text message saying that there was definitely something wrong with him. Cho Hyunjoon waited for Kwon Taejung’s words with a playful face.
“Sadism?”
“…Sadism?”
“Yesterday, I couldn’t take my inhibitor in the morning because I was sleeping at my parent’s house then. I didn’t think I would be in big trouble if I skipped a day but I did. I was with an omega but I couldn’t control my composure.”
“That’s right, it can happen. No matter how well you control everything, there’s only so much an inhibitor can do. Your inhibitors can especially control impulsive or sadistic urges. But since you didn’t have your inhibitors, you can clearly see what you can control or not control normally.”

Kwon Taejung who slowly twirled in the chair from side to side stopped moving and looked at Cho Hyunjoon. Everything in his head was such a mess, he didn’t know what he should ask first.
“Dea atja bwfuj lr ragjcuf.”
“Pc ktja kjs?”
“Rb bcf xcbkr tf lr jc bwfuj. Lf vfolclafis rwfiir bo qtfgbwbcfr ab wf, yea atf batfg jiqtjr vbc’a rffw ab xcbk. Dea tf kjrc’a gfjiis agslcu ab mbcagbi tlwrfio.”

Kwon Taejung recalled Yigyeom’s face so naturally. Before taking the medicine, he thought it was a sudden urge because he didn’t have his inhibitors but he couldn’t really say anything about the strong sadistic impulse he felt even after taking it.
Everything was Yeon Yigyeom’s fault, however, Kwon Taejung thought he should also do everything he could to avoid an accident from happening with an omega. At this rate, he could pull his hair and make him kneel down in front of him.
“What’s even funnier…”
“…”
“Only I am attracted to that smell he gives off only to me.”
“…Oh…”
Cho Hyunjoon was so surprised that he couldn’t close his mouth for a while and stared blankly at Kwon Taejung before habitually raising his glasses and taking out a pen from his pocket and tapping on the messy documents on the desk.
“So let’s summarize. You smell the scent of the omega that other alphas can’t detect at all and you react strangely to his smell…You even have sadistic urges?”
“Yes.”
“How do your impulses work?”
“He turned his back to me and I wanted to grab his hair and drag him towards me…Prescribe me some more inhibitors. Something that would have a stronger effect.”
Cho Hyunjoon, who seemed surprised all along, shook his head because it was the first time Kwon Taejung had asked so even though he had seen him since he was young.
“It’s not good to increase the inhibitors. No matter how good of an effect it has, it will forcibly suppress your pheromones and nerves so there is nothing good about increasing the dosage. What you’re saying is that if that person also reacts to your pheromones, then it is a symptom of a beta. There’s no need to overthink.”
“I wanted to grab someone’s hair, a person I don’t know well, and make them kneel in front of me. Isn’t that something serious to think about?”
“Did you do it? No, you didn’t.”
“…”
“You’re controlling your urges well. I’m also taking inhibitors. It’s hard to press your natural desires with medicine. What I’m saying is, if I tell you to take more inhibitors, your pheromones will become too dense that other omegas will start to avoid you, and when you can’t cope with your sexual desires, your daily life will be disturbed and all your natural emotions will be suppressed.”
Kwon Taejung was depressed as if he didn’t like Cho Hyunjoon’s answer and shook his head. He was filled with thoughts that he wasn’t looking at someone who was a quack doctor.
“What if there’s an accident?”
“There won’t be. You have enough control over yourself.”
“How are you so sure?”
“People who are really out of control never come for a checkup before they commit the accident. Your urges are in control so don’t worry and since you are here anyway on an examination day, give your blood as a sample. Oh, as you grow up I’m getting to see you dating as well.”
Kwon Taejung who was irked by the word, “Date” picked a piece of paper on the desk, threw it at Cho Hyunjoon, and got up from the chair.
“Dating. Fuck. It’s annoying. I came here because I wanted to, you idiot.”
“Ah, it really seems you can’t control yourself? Now, let’s start from the beginning. When did you start cursing like that?”
“Don’t text me because I’m going to block you.”
“Draw your blood and go.”
Kwon Taejung stared at Cho Hyunjoon’s face, smiled unpleasantly, and slammed the door of the director’s office before sighing. He felt very uncomfortable after letting out what he felt inside for no reason and only heard things he didn’t want to hear.
Kwon Taejung thought he shouldn’t think of such things at a hospital, and looked at the nurse approaching him.
“I’ll show you the blood collection room.”
“Okay…”
Fuck. Kwon Taejung stared at the tightly closed door of the director’s office and followed the nurse, thinking he should never come back for a checkup. Cho Hyunjoon’s words of dating, which was awkward and embarrassing to relate to a child who was 12 years younger than him but somehow, he tried to erase the words that tickled his heart.
***
Yigyeom was at home because Kwon Taejung said he had to go to the hospital during the day and received Kang Jihoon’s text at the time of lunch. The message said that he was in the neighborhood and if he could come out but Yigyeom who stared at the message for a while, replied, “Okay”.
Yigyeom couldn’t go to the work that Kang Jihoon bought for him and he was sorry that they weren’t able to work together for a while so he wanted to apologize to him as well. He also wanted to let him know clearly that he wouldn’t be able to work with him for the next 3 months. Only then, would his mind be at peace.
Kwon Taejung didn’t specifically tell him to stay at home but he called him just in case, thinking about what would be better to say even if he went out.
It continued to ring for a while and the call wasn’t received, so Yigyeom was worried that he was in pain somewhere that he had to visit the hospital so he texted him that he would be going out to meet Kang Jihoon briefly, and since he happened to leave Daramdong, he also left a name of a cafe they would visit.
Yigyeom didn’t need to call him to tell him that and cross the line by doing so, however, after piecing together what Kwon Taejung told him until now, he should at least inform him who he is meeting. Yigyeom looked at his phone blankly, which didn’t reflect the response, and then rushed out of the house.
When Yigyeom arrived at the cafe, which was a 10-minute walk away, he saw Kang Jihoon sitting by the window. Next to him was a stranger. Yigyeom approached Kang Jihoon awkwardly since he was quite shy and greeted him first.
“Hello, hyung. How have you been?”
“Well, I’m fine. How are you?”
“Yes…I’m fine as well.”
When Yigyeom greeted and looked to his side, Kang Jihoon slung his arm around the stranger’s shoulders and introduced him.
“Ah, this is my friend. I was on my way to hang with him but I thought to call you out too. I remembered you said you lived near here.”
“Ah…yes..hello.”
Yigyeom awkwardly greeted the man and sat across the two, as he fumbled with his hands. Kang Jihoon pushed the ade in front of him.
“Drink this. I didn’t put my mouth on it.”
“No, you can have it.”
“I had a lot of lunch so there’s no space for water to go in. Drink it.”
“…Thank you.”
Yigyeom thought it would be better to drink to escape from the awkwardness, so Yigyeom bit down on the straw and took a sip of the green grape ade. He wanted to talk about the part-time job but it was kind of rude to bring it up because Kang Jihoon’s friend was there.
“Hey but the guy who was with you last time. I am not sure but…”
“What?”
“Isn’t he a chaebol?”
“Chaebol?”
