Sunjeong’s gaze reached Yuhyeon standing next to Taeon, then quickly turned toward the man beside him. The man’s features were truly ugly beyond compare. It was embarrassing enough to dismiss even as individuality. That tacky appearance would probably be rejected even by Omegas in their heat cycle.
As he was thinking this, Sunjeong subtly linked arms with the Alpha who was muttering something to him. The fumbling, awkward touch proved that linking arms with another person was unfamiliar to him.
“If he’s doing it because he likes it, what can I do about it.”
“What?”
At Taeon’s muttering, Yuhyeon asked with a questioning expression.
“Wasn’t talking to you, just thinking out loud. Let’s hurry up and go do what we need to do.”
“Hey, Yoon Taeon.”
“What.”
“Do that thing for me this time.”
“Crazy, that’s fucking disgusting. Fuck, I told you if you want to receive that, go find someone else.”
Yuhyeon had a perverse taste. He wanted to be stimulated on his perineum with a tongue. But for Taeon, it was an utterly horrifying thing just to imagine. Using the tongue you eat and talk with on a place like that—every time he heard it, he wondered if he was crazy.
“Other Alphas do it just fine.”
“Those bastards just want to fuck. It’s not about pheromones. Ah, this is annoying. Should we just go?”
At Taeon’s words, Yuhyeon grabbed Taeon with a dissatisfied expression. Since it wasn’t merely a matter of pleasure, he wasn’t in a position to insist stubbornly when his needs weren’t being met.
Having already completely forgotten about Sunjeong nearby, Taeon entered the motel with Yuhyeon. The motel, which did regular business targeting poor neighborhood residents who had unluckily become manifestors, was always dirty and even smelled musty. Still, since there was no one who came here wanting to enjoy the atmosphere, it was always overflowing with customers and sometimes hard to make reservations.
Taeon, who got on the old elevator that seemed like it might break down and trap them sometime, immediately spat out a curse.
“Fuck, this is really.”
It was because Sunjeong was getting on the elevator linked arm-in-arm with the man whose face looked even more serious up close.
Sunjeong’s large eyes, which had seemed to have a calm expression, trembling wildly, came clearly into Taeon’s view.
***
When four adult men entered, the cramped elevator filled up.
The pheromones immediately mixing in the narrow space were one thing, but more serious was the terrible cigarette smell wafting from the man standing next to Sunjeong.
Sunjeong had weak bronchial tubes and hated the smell of cigarettes. That’s why when Sunjeong was too annoying, Taeon had deliberately smoked in front of him, but smoking wasn’t to his taste so he soon stopped. It also didn’t feel good to see him coughing and hacking but absolutely refusing to leave his side.
Taeon’s gaze reached the old keychain held in the man’s hand. On a small rectangular white acrylic plate, the number 502 was clearly written.
Even though Taeon was glaring at the back of Sunjeong’s head standing in front of him, Sunjeong didn’t budge and only looked forward.
It was obvious. There was no way the two people, who clearly didn’t suit each other at first glance, had naturally gotten to know each other somewhere.
‘Can’t you not meet people through apps? Won’t my pheromones really work?’
They must have met using the manifestor app that Taeon occasionally used, which Sunjeong had once told him not to use in a tearful voice. Deliberately setting it to this neighborhood so it would catch Taeon’s eye. As this thought became organized, a hollow laugh escaped Taeon’s mouth. Whatever Sunjeong did had nothing to do with Taeon.
Whatever he does. Taeon regained his composure, having reached the conclusion he always came to in his relationship with Sunjeong. The elevator soon arrived at the 5th floor.
When the elevator door opened with a loud notification sound, Sunjeong and the man moved their feet.
Go Sunjeong must be a bottom. How did he end up with a bastard like that.
Taeon, who was clicking his tongue inwardly as if pathetic, momentarily hesitated. It was because Sunjeong, who seemed like he would only face forward defiantly, stopped walking and turned around. Sunjeong’s face as he turned back was filled with confusion. Though tears weren’t welling up, his moist eyes seemed to be asking for help.
“Hurry up.”
But at the man’s voice, Sunjeong quickly turned his gaze forward again.
Soon the elevator door closed.
“Wow, crazy. Did you see that Omega’s face just now?”
“……”
Yuhyeon said admiringly, unable to close his gaping mouth.
“Isn’t that crazy? Why is a kid like that here? The Alpha bastard next to him was totally ugly though. I don’t get it.”
“If they came to a motel, they came to fuck, obviously. Like us.”
At Taeon’s indifferent words, Yuhyeon frowned.
“I do it with you because I need to, but……”
“……”
“Yoon Taeon, you’re really a fucking rude bastard. Make lots of money and hurry up and leave here.”
“Do as you please.”
At Taeon’s still blunt answer, Yuhyeon didn’t even let out a sigh. He only looked up at the large silhouette striding forward.
It wasn’t that his heart had gone first from the beginning, but he thought if they slept together a few times, some affection would develop. Relationships that led from body to heart were too common among manifestors in this neighborhood.
Then it would have been pretty nice. He’d often imagined a life of dating and eventually marrying Taeon, who had been famous since middle school as an idol trainee or whatever but ended up living not much differently from himself, with still outstanding looks, but not anymore.
With such a blunt and rude bastard, just resolving pheromones was enough.
Yuhyeon, who entered the room, headed straight to the bathroom without a word.
It’ll take about 10 minutes once he comes out after getting undressed.
As Taeon, who checked the time, lay on the bed and closed his eyes, a noisy sound was heard. It was the excessively intense moaning of someone in the next room.
Usually he wasn’t particularly embarrassed or didn’t dislike hearing it, but today it was especially annoying……
“Ah, fuck, Go Sunjeong, really.”
Taeon really didn’t care if Sunjeong liked someone other than him, dated, or slept with them. But seeing him up close earlier, leaving him to have his first sex with a truly pathetic guy somehow didn’t seem right.
If they’d already started, it couldn’t be helped, but still, with the single-minded determination to prevent a disaster, Taeon roughly shoved his feet into his sneakers and went outside.
Taeon, who ran down the stairs, roughly knocked on the door of room 502.
“Hey, Go Sunjeong!”
Even though he hadn’t run much, for some reason Taeon’s voice was extremely rough due to his rising breath.
“Go Sunjeong, come out! I have something to say.”
Thanks to the shabby facility with no soundproofing whatsoever, he could hear the sounds inside the room well. The sound of strange movement coming to a complete halt. An atmosphere of remaining completely still while gauging the situation outside.
“Fuck, I’ll break down the door.”
Unable to bear it, Taeon began kicking the front door hard.
Soon the door opened.
“How did you know which room number?”
In front of Sunjeong, who asked this right away, Taeon’s eyebrows twitched. Is he in his right mind, really.
“I’m busy right now…… I have things to do…… so please go……”
Sunjeong, who stammered out what he needed to say, couldn’t make eye contact with Taeon.
Toward Sunjeong, who couldn’t even meet his eyes, Taeon said sarcastically.
“Things to do? What, sex?”
Now a sneer leaked from Taeon’s mouth. It was because the combination of the two words—Sunjeong and sex—which didn’t suit each other at all, was funny. Looking down quietly at Sunjeong’s white face, who seemed like he would only stare blankly for his whole life no matter who he liked, Sunjeong hesitated before answering.
“Yeah, sex.”
I’m going crazy and losing my mind. Taeon let out a hollow laugh.
And he got angry.
Since Taeon was interfering with things like this, it would make sense for him to come out, but he really hated the sight of the man hesitantly gauging the situation from the bed area. Of all the people to choose, someone like that.
“Stop fucking around. Come here.”
“I, I don’t want to……”
Sunjeong tried to stop Taeon, who firmly grabbed his wrist, but Taeon’s strength was greater.
Sunjeong’s body, which didn’t seem to have much will to resist Taeon’s grip, quickly turned toward Taeon. Taeon, who was about to leave the room, stopped briefly and spoke to the man who was just staring this way with a blank expression.
“Get lost, you bastard. Acting like an Alpha.”
“Don’t do that…… He seemed like…… a nice person……”
There was no strength in Sunjeong’s voice as he took the side of a man he’d definitely seen for less than a few hours.
After closing the front door and walking out, Taeon finally stopped at the end of the corridor.
“Hey, Go Sunjeong.”
“Yeah.”
“Whatever you do with whoever, I really don’t care at all, you know?”
“……”
Familiar misery filled Sunjeong’s eyes. Since that feeling didn’t matter to him at all, Taeon said what he needed to say.
“Whether you fuck one Alpha or two Alphas, I really don’t care at all.”
“……”
“But why the fuck are you causing a scene by coming to this neighborhood, huh?”
At Taeon’s rough voice, tears finally began dripping from Sunjeong’s eyes.
