By this point I could be certain—behind Baek Sahyun’s refined outer shell, there must surely lurk an extremely vicious and gloomy nature. A nature that acts as if life loses its fun without toying with people, a nature that can’t be hidden no matter how much one tries to hide it.
The pitiless bastards I met while rolling around construction sites all gave off this kind of atmosphere. Very beast-like, and perhaps dangerous.
Baek Sahyun continued slowly.
“If you really want to live as Nam Heejae, you need to try harder. Don’t you think?”
Right on cue, I gulped down the saliva pooled in my mouth. Perhaps from tension, warm sweat was pooling all over my palms.
Thump, thump. My heart beats as if it will burst.
Baek Sahyun is the only person who knows that Nam Heejae isn’t that ‘Nam Heejae’. Of course he wouldn’t know that this damned world is nothing but a 19+ gay novel, and that he’s just a character acting according to it, but anyway.
I was starting to wonder if he was really giving me this advice because he truly considered me a ghost.
“There needs to be more contempt than now.”
Baek Sahyun gripped my jaw tightly with his large hand. The rough grip strength squeezed painfully to the bone.
“You need to act more arrogant and cheeky. Okay?”
“Ugh…!”
“If you act foolishly like today….”
“Fuck, Baek Sahyun!”
“You’ll be found out, Heejae-ya. Like you were caught by me.”
Then the sultry kiss started again. I tried shaking my head with difficulty at the feeling of filth touching my mouth, but it was useless. My lips, which I’d never even gotten to use, were steadily being devoured by Baek Sahyun.
“Hngh!”
Faced with pleasure I’d never wanted, I just felt a deplorable sentiment.
Fuck, you bastard—as I recited curses intermittently, Baek Sahyun quite deliberately wrapped my waist with his arm. I could feel his solid arm muscles supporting my spine.
Cornered, I had no choice but to bite down hard on his moist lips.
“Ah…”
Baek Sahyun, who gasped, finally stopped moving. Perhaps because of the dense kiss, the air in the room had become much more humid than before. I, who had been suffering from revulsion all along, shouted at him.
“Get your head on straight and live, you fucking bastard! You’re an alpha, aren’t you? Don’t you know what alpha means?”
Honestly, I didn’t really know what it meant either, but regardless, I pushed forward in a trance.
“If an omega came looking, you should be preparing to welcome them, so what the hell is this situation where you’re doing whatever with me?”
“……”
“You just need to go into heat over omega pheromones like you always do, okay? Is that so difficult? Do I have to explain everything specifically from 1 to 10?”
However, I, who had been scolding as my heart desired, ended up freezing with a start. Because when I confirmed his lips soaked with red blood under the entrance light, I became frightened.
Nevertheless, I thought I couldn’t tuck my tail like this. Since it’s come to this, let’s go all the way, Jang Woohyun. Born as a man, I can’t give up easily. Moreover, thanks to my sincere advice, couldn’t Baek Sahyun also regain his alpha-like mind?
“I’ll open the door, so come to an agreement with Chae Eunwoo instead of me. You’re an alpha and he’s an omega. There happens to be a fucking wide bed here too. Behind you, see it?”
Having lost my fear, I poured out all the curses that came to mind and was satisfied by myself. The reason is just one.
‘That’s what you get for doing gay shit to me.’
Because that damned gay bastard made physical contact with me.
Whatever, whether it’s water torture or water play, I could go along with that much anytime. In a situation where I’d rolled around my whole life like someone else’s errand boy, what’s the big deal about bending my pride to a young kid?
If he’d told me to act as a driver, I would have done it, and if he’d told me to act as an errand runner, I would have done it. Nam Heejae, who grew up noble like a flower in a greenhouse, might have thrown a fit, but Jang Woohyun, a son of Korea, was different. Crawling around to humor others until my hands and feet wore out wasn’t even a difficult task for me.
But becoming gay is a problem of a different dimension. Even with a knife to my throat, I couldn’t bite and suck each other equipped with the same thing as Baek Sahyun and Chae Eunwoo.
Damn it. Just imagining it makes me nauseous!
Baek Sahyun, who had been quietly looking down at me all this time, opened his mouth leisurely.
“…Right.”
“……”
“There happens to be… a fucking wide bed here.”
It was the complete opposite of my expectation that he would give unreasonable rebuttals and make things difficult for me.
For some reason, he didn’t look angry at all. Rather, he whispered in a more lenient tone than ever. The smile hanging on his lips was mischievous like a playful boy.
“In front of me is you.”
“Wh-what?”
When I asked back stupidly, my spirit gone, Baek Sahyun inserted his thigh between my legs.
When I grabbed his forearm in shock, he leisurely rubbed his lips against my nape. He probably intended to transfer the bloodstains.
“There’s no need to drag in the omega outside, Heejae-ya.”
“……”
“Let’s just go to that fucking wide bed, just the two of us. What do you say?”
I was so speechless that I couldn’t even easily let out a single breath. In my head, only the red flag of ‘danger’ was circling around. No matter how I looked at it, the situation was not good.
I felt Baek Sahyun’s legs armed with muscles against my skin. Thanks to that, with all the blood in my body cooling, I felt a premonition I didn’t want to acknowledge flash through my mind.
‘…Don’t tell me he’s into me, not Chae Eunwoo?’
Now that I think about it, the trigger for Baek Sahyun to become interested in Chae Eunwoo was also because he rebelled noisily at him and showed an unusual appearance unlike others.
Damn it! If that was the case, I should have prostrated myself flat from the first time we met.
Even in the midst of confusion, Baek Sahyun didn’t withdraw his persistent gaze toward me. Though I tried to check the middle of his legs just in case, I gave up thinking only curses would come out anyway.
“…I, I’m not gay.”
When I declared with a trembling voice, Baek Sahyun nodded. I, who had been turning my head to avoid his persistent gaze, shook my face at the touch that tickled my ear.
“I said I’m not gay?”
The moment I emphasized again, the entrance door shook with a bang. Bang, bang bang bang! As it rattled with a strength far exceeding the level of pounding with fists, I couldn’t help but be flustered.
It seemed Chae Eunwoo was kicking the door from outside. Sure enough, Chae Eunwoo’s voice filled with anger was heard.
“Are you crazy? Not opening the door? The pheromone smell is wafting all the way here, all the way here! Even though you already know I’m an omega, isn’t spreading the smell like this a really rude thing to do?”
This is maddening. Since Nam Heejae was a beta, the pheromones would naturally be Baek Sahyun’s. Moreover, Chae Eunwoo seemed to see through the fact that Baek Sahyun and I knew about his manifestation. I took advantage of the gap where Baek Sahyun’s attention turned to Chae Eunwoo to struggle out of his embrace.
“Huk…”
As I exhaled the breath I’d been holding, the door shook once more with a bang. As soon as I quickly reached out and turned the doorknob, the lock released and Chae Eunwoo barged into the room.
His face had his eyes sharply raised like an intruder. I, whose heart was beating so hard it seemed it might break down, hid behind Chae Eunwoo as if I’d found a savior.
“Eunwoo-ya…!”
Baek Sahyun stood watching indifferently the series of situations that occurred in less than a minute.
Though it was slightly awkward hiding behind Chae Eunwoo who was smaller than me, there was no other way. Because I was busy just avoiding Baek Sahyun’s straight gaze stabbing down sharply.
I gripped Chae Eunwoo’s clothes and curled my body as much as possible.
“…What are you doing, hyung?”
Even Chae Eunwoo asked me, as if that appearance looked quite pathetic.
Well, how disappointing it must be when Nam Heejae, who should properly save him like a prince on a white horse, is acting out in this state.
I understand the sentiment, but for me, this was the best way. If I continued to be entangled with Baek Sahyun like this, I would inevitably fall to the position of his bedmate.
I didn’t know what wind blew for the guy who was supposedly a friend to show sexual curiosity, but I definitely didn’t want to offer my precious body to a male bastard.
Strictly speaking, it’s not my body but Nam Heejae’s body, but still, what I hate is what I hate. Nam Heejae would probably hate it too, so at least regarding this problem, wouldn’t it be like minds think alike?
“Say hello to Baek Sahyun, Eunwoo-ya.”
“Huh?”
But… Chae Eunwoo, who’s really gay, might inwardly wish for a connection with Baek Sahyun.
It seems the two gays lacked time to get to know each other because of me, so let’s create an opportunity for just the two of them to be together even now. I patted Chae Eunwoo’s back with trembling hands.
“Don’t be scared. He has surprisingly good sides too. Handsome face, good body, tall, rich…”
Bad personality. I deliberately omitted the last words. Chae Eunwoo made a strange “Huh?” sound and looked back at me. From Baek Sahyun came a burst of laughter.
Having lost confidence, I continued in an even more crawling voice.
“You’re also pretty, cute, and friendly, so you’ll make a perfect couple. You understand what hyung means, right?”
“No? Not at all?”
“…Really? I thought you’d understand?”
“Hyung, are you drunk? Why are you chattering like old people who meddle with young folks?”
If my job had been a matchmaker, I probably would have been counted as the worst matchmaker ever. But you know, why has Chae Eunwoo’s tone become so rough? Is this also the aftermath of my possession?
Chae Eunwoo, who flatly made me shut my mouth, soon tilted his head with a “hmm.” Doubt momentarily appeared on his pretty face. He muttered to himself with a suspicious tone.
“Now that I think about it, it does seem like there’s an alcohol smell… Though I can’t smell it clearly because of the pheromones.”
“But until last time, you pretended to be a beta in front of me…”
“Ah, fuck. Don’t you remember that bastard and I were yapping about whether there was a smell or not at the cafe, leaving me sitting there? I’m not stupid enough to pretend to be a beta when it doesn’t work in front of people who’ve all noticed.”
Damn it. There couldn’t be a more uncomfortable situation than this.
The oppressive atmosphere brought by the three-way confrontation repeatedly made me anxious. I could feel a drop of cold sweat rolling down my spine.
Chae Eunwoo showed sharp suspicion.
“…But why do I only sense pheromones from Baek Sahyun sunbae alone?”
He, who covered his nose with his palm, scanned me from top to bottom. The added words were also a spectacle.
“Strange? Hyung can’t be a beta either.”
