“…Yes…”
“Ah…”
Baek, startled to see Yigyeom nod lightly in response, let out a heavy sigh. Knowing Yigyeom was an Omega, everything they’d discussed made sense now.
“Does Taejung know too?”
“…Yes…”
“Wow…”
“……”
“Ah, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were an Omega. Well, it’s true that spending time with an Omega can help manage the Rut better and quicker, but… thinking about it and actually seeing it are different. Right now, there won’t be anything visibly apparent. I don’t think it’ll be easy.”
Baek’s refusal made Yigyeom anxious. When the heat cycle came, the only visible thing had been Kwon Taejung’s face. Everything else had been engulfed in heat, seeping into every part of his body.
With his mind not entirely clear, Yigyeom had clung to Kwon Taejung, not realizing how time was passing.
For the past few days, all Yigyeom wanted was to be with Kwon Taejung, to feel the warmth Kwon Taejung had continuously offered. Yigyeom gathered courage and pleaded with Baek again.
“Still… I want to go. Please. It’s because I want to, so don’t worry. I feel like… I should be with the Chief, so… I’m asking to be with him… Please help. Right? Secretary…”
Baek, unable to ignore Yigyeom’s fervent plea any longer, finally nodded. There seemed to be something between them that Baek didn’t know about, making him think that’s why Yigyeom was saying this.
“Get in. I’ll take you.”
“…Thank you…”
Yigyeom got into the car after thanking Baek, letting out a small sigh. I had been too harsh that day, and perhaps that’s why I couldn’t bring up the topic of the Rut. Yigyeom sighed deeply again, looking visibly upset.
“I don’t know if this is right.”
“…Really, don’t worry.”
“Do you know what it means for me to go there now?”
“…Yes… I know. When I said that, the Chief… came before…”
“Ah…”

Baek, recalling Kwon Taejung’s sudden appearance at Yigyeom’s house after days of no contact, decided not to add more worry. They seemed to have crossed a stage where they should have stopped worrying and talking.

“I’m not sure if it’s okay to ask, but are you dating Taejung?”
“Ah… We’re not… dating…”
As Yigyeom blushed at the question, clearly unsure how to respond, Baek let out a small sigh. It seemed messing with a child’s preferences wasn’t their thing, yet somehow they had unsettled Yigyeom quite thoroughly.
Arriving at the floor and holding the door open, Baek gestured for Yigyeom to step out first, following behind and standing in front of the closed door.
“I’ll go if it seems like Taejung is coming out. I feel like it’s not my place to intrude.”
“…Yes. Thank you for your help.”
Baek looked down at Yigyeom, their face showing concern, marked with traces of awkwardness, as if they had become Yigyeom’s parents. They pressed the doorbell. No response. Pressed it again, thinking there might have been a misunderstanding.
“……”
As silence fell once more, the intercom lit up, and a low voice sounded irritated.
– What?
“Ah, it’s me, Taejung. Jinwoo. Open the door. I’ve got something to say.”
– I told you not to bother.
“Sorry. It’s urgent.”
The irritated voice abruptly cut off. Baek nodded to Yigyeom and hastily opened the elevator door, rushing in.
“I’ll go ahead.”
“Yes… Thank you very much.”
As the elevator door closed, there was the sound of the door opening behind Yigyeom. Turning quickly, Yigyeom faced a tense-looking Kwon Taejung, someone who seemed so cold that it made them tense involuntarily.
“…Chief.”
In a moment, amidst eyes that seemed tired and angry, Lee Chaeyoung’s thoughts shifted. Yigyeom struggled to gather his wits against the incredibly strong, nearly indescribable pheromone scent emanating from Kwon Taejung.
Just standing on both feet felt like a challenge due to the overwhelming strength of the pheromones. Yigyeom tried not to collapse, putting effort into maintaining his posture and reinforcing his legs that kept losing strength.
“Why are you here? Leave.”
With a voice that seemed to completely suppress any emotion, Kwon Taejung coldly spoke, pulling the door shut without hesitation, turning halfway. Quickly, Yigyeom slipped an arm through the closing door, reaching out for Kwon Taejung.
“Chief… let me… come in, please.”
Kwon Taejung’s body felt intensely hot. It seemed like heat radiated from the arm Yigyeom held onto. Gritting his teeth, Yigyeom re-opened the partially closed door while observing Kwon Taejung, who was cursing and in pain.
“Don’t suffer… damn it, leave when I tell you to.”
It was both a threat and a plea as Kwon Taejung, in agony, pulled away Yigyeom’s hand that had touched his arm.
“Fuck…”
He had pulled away, but releasing his grip was excruciatingly difficult with his fingers now spread open. He wanted to pull harder, to intrude as he pleased. Since those days when he didn’t know what to do, he hadn’t spent a single moment without thinking about Yigyeom.
The more Yigyeom’s scent lingered, the more vivid and intense the desire became, especially while burying his face in the sheets and pillows untouched by Yigyeom. It only made his longing stronger.
Exhausted by torment, whenever he briefly dozed off, Yigyeom invariably appeared in his dreams. Desperate not to lose him, he’d embrace the small figure, acting recklessly in his sleep, awakening with a familiar sensation of arousal.
Without realizing how much time had passed, Kwon Taejung found himself completely trapped by Yigyeom. He desperately wanted to fulfill his urges alone but found relief in Yigyeom’s absence, fearing he might hurt him. He lacked the confidence not to upset Yigyeom.
Yet… despite enduring it all, there stood Yigyeom before him. Moreover, it was Yigyeom who had come here on his own accord.
Seeing Yigyeom looking at him, Kwon Taejung grabbed Yigyeom’s hand, encountering the increasingly potent pheromones. For a moment, his head spun, and even his vision blurred.
He wanted to indulge until things went haywire underneath. He wanted to continue despite Yigyeom crying or saying no, until his desires were fulfilled, as much as he suffered from missing Yigyeom.
“But… I can’t, not when it’s you. I can’t ruin you, who is so pretty. So, I’ll muster all the patience I haven’t used in 32 years, and I’ll use it now.”
That patience was almost entirely spent on opening Yigyeom’s hand he held, yet for Kwon Taejung, it was an immense sacrifice, tantamount to giving up everything.
“Leave.”
“I’m not… going.”
“If I tell you to leave, then leave! What do you think this place is? You came here expecting to be treated like that and still won’t leave… Do you really want me to see me at my worst?”
“But Chief… you were with me… before. When I was scared of the heat cycle, you came to me because you didn’t want me to be alone.”
While locking eyes with Kwon Taejung, Yigyeom pushed the door a little more. The sensation of being enveloped in pheromones all over his body felt so good, almost dreamlike. Continuing to gaze at Kwon Taejung, Yigyeom half-stepped inside through the door.
“Chief, when you were… alone like me… you didn’t want to be alone, right?”
“Let me say this one more time. Leave.”
“……”
Observing Yigyeom, who was neither moving away nor closer, Kwon Taejung pressed his lips together. He couldn’t hold back any longer. Yigyeom’s warm pheromones, the face he longed to see so much, and the fact that Yigyeom had come here willingly to be with him.
“I clearly told you to leave.”
“……”
Just as if in response to his words, as Yigyeom stepped fully into the entrance, the door closed behind him. As the lock clicked shut, Kwon Taejung collapsed, and Yigyeom leaned back against the door.
The overwhelming warmth from their joined lips made everything hazy, even his senses. Pushing Yigyeom’s chin up to open his mouth, Kwon Taejung fervently explored it with his tongue, embracing Yigyeom as he moaned.
“Mmm… Hah…”
He thought it might be similar to when the heat cycle hit, but it was a bit different. The sensation between his legs was dampened by Kwon Taejung’s pheromones, his mind foggy, yet Kwon Taejung, running towards him with feverish eyes, was undoubtedly different from back then.
There was no room to catch a breath between their non-stop kissing, and Kwon Taejung showed no intention of considering his condition. His pants and underwear slid down to his ankles, and when Kwon Taejung’s fingers plunged inside, Yigyeom was surprised, but Kwon Taejung didn’t back off.
“Mm-hmm… Ah, ah!”
Echoes of wet sounds resounded from below. Several of Kwon Taejung’s thick and long fingers plunged deeply into the wet space, thrusting vigorously.
Still, with Kwon Taejung’s tongue relentlessly stirring inside his mouth, Yigyeom moaned. Kwon Taejung even swallowed Yigyeom’s moans that he gathered in his mouth to the back of his throat.
“Ah-hoo, ah…! Ah, ah-hoo…”
After a while, gasping breaths and moans mixed wildly through parted lips. With every thrust, it felt like water was splashing inside.
T/N:
hope y’all are binging on the mass-update! the next few chapters would be very hot~ also, the angst waters down after these chapters so no worries! the author is very famous for her heart-warming approach to stories rather than hurt-comfort 🙂
You are genuinely amazing. You’ve been uploading back to back… serving us hot hot. I was really surprised to see new chapters today. Thank you for all your effort and hardwork.
I’m really enjoying this book so much. I really love how it has progressed. I wish the story could explore more on other characters, like Cho Hyun Joon (is that correct?) the doctor friend, his beta secretary and more importantly Taejung’s family.
I hope Goo Daebom does not show his face anymore. And i’m still kind of wary of that Kang Ji Hoon dude. I don’t trust him.
you will get to see taejung’s family later on! they will appear a lot so stay tuned :))
Such a great build up. They both have to grow for love.
Thank you very much for the continuous update. It brightens my day every time I see new chapters.
Thank you for your time and dedication to this story ❣️
thank you for reading!
