When the struggling stopped, Gil Taeseo’s steps became even more unhindered. Even if he didn’t resist, even though he was skinny, he was an adult male. Though general omegas had slender frames and small builds, this was a special case who had even spent more than half his life as a beta. Yet Gil Taeseo didn’t seem burdened at all.
Thanks to that, at least it seemed unlikely his tailbone would get smashed from falling during transport… but conversely, escaping was also impossible. So Saehyeon was just confused whether to call this fortunate or unfortunate.
The man who strode across the living room naturally passed through the front door as well. With his expensive shoes’ heels crushed who knows how miserably, roughly shoved on, he opened the door.
‘He’s really going out like this?’
Where Gil Taeseo lived was a high-end residence with thorough security that you couldn’t even set foot in unless you were quite something. One household per floor, and Gil Taeseo’s home was even the penthouse at the very top, which also meant at least no one would see this appearance in the hallway.
But anyway, the sight of a full-grown adult male being carried like this from the outside… wasn’t it quite unsightly? Gil Taeseo was even a notably tall alpha wearing a suit, while this side was wearing a white t-shirt, so the sense of incongruity would surely be tremendous.
What on earth would others think if they saw this? Just imagining facing someone while in this state made Saehyeon’s head spin.
“You… crazy bastard.”
The quietly ground-out words echoed through the hallway. Saehyeon, who flinched in surprise alone, pressed his body close to Gil Taeseo. He buried his head as much as possible in his shoulder and curled up in his arms as if holding his breath. It seemed like it would at least be a success if he appeared to be unconscious and being moved unavoidably.
It was unfortunate that he had to rely on the cause of this situation, but still, he had to avoid the immediate humiliation, so there was no choice.
Wickedly, the man entered the underground parking lot via the elevator in that same position.
The dim and spacious underground parking lot was filled with flashy foreign cars. It would seem hard to find a car among them, but surprisingly Gil Taeseo easily stopped in front of a certain car.
The man who skillfully pulled out the car key pressed a button. Beep beep. The car headlights blinked and the sound of the lock clicking open was heard.
The man who opened the car door lowered his body and said in a low voice.
“Get inside.”
In that brief moment, Saehyeon started thinking while rapidly rolling his eyes. Whenever he got swept up following Gil Taeseo’s lead, he would strangely face dead ends. Having that experience, this kind of worry was like a learned instinct.
But indeed, the one better suited for driving prey between the two was definitely the man rather than Saehyeon.
“If you want me to perform the bizarre act of driving while holding you like this, well. I won’t stop you.”
Bare feet, Gil Taeseo in front, car behind. Even Saehyeon, who didn’t know the first thing about driving, could tell. It would clearly be a violation of traffic laws.
All sorts of imaginations flashed through his mind. When the scene of all sorts of content titled ’28-year-old alpha omega couple driving while embracing’ being mass-produced on internet communities and news came to mind, he couldn’t help but back down.
When he plopped down on the seat, Gil Taeseo quickly checked his feet then closed the door. At the thud sound, Saehyeon’s shoulders jumped once.
Saehyeon, while seated, could only blankly watch the large, dark body circle the car body and climb into the driver’s seat.
“…Wait. Why are you putting me in the passenger seat?”
This wasn’t the first time riding in the same car as Gil Taeseo. It had happened occasionally over the past few months. But other people like Shin Seokwon or Yoon Changwook always sat in the driver’s seat. Then Gil Taeseo and Saehyeon would just sit awkwardly with distance between them in the back seat.
His experience sitting in the passenger seat was… maybe the ride home that day when he first encountered Gil Taeseo.
Then Gil Taeseo in the driver’s seat seemed to operate something, then whipped his head toward this side.
“Then what. Should I drive and you sit in the back like a chairman?”
The picturesque face and body of the man who turned around had been devoured by deep shadows. The time being what it was, and the parking lot being several floors below ground, it was perhaps natural. It was such surroundings, without even the city lights piercing through windows from the top floor.
Saehyeon gulped. Gil Taeseo naturally leaned this way and got closer and closer. From the approaching man came a faint scent. The smoky feeling like something had been burned seemed to be perfume.
‘This location, temperature, humidity…’
Just looking at it, that was it. Earlier saying you do as you please, I’ll do as I please, so it was this kind of talk. It was fitting for the bastard who had gone on about the entrance or outdoors a few months ago. Recalling even the record of calling him to the office and fucking him, the assumption gradually gained power close to certainty.
Thinking he was really a terrible pervert bastard, Saehyeon squeezed his eyes shut and shouted.
“In a car crosses the line, you crazy perverted bastard…!”
The man’s hand that had been approaching without hesitation stopped abruptly.
“…Ha.”
The sound of exhaling quietly, then the sound of clicking his tongue, then starting to move again. He didn’t think he could repel him with just one shout. Still, to really not be affected even a single bit like this.
Even with closed eyes, the approaching shadow could be felt, and the moment the scent brushing his nose became thicker. Click.
“…Huh?”
Saehyeon’s eyes flew open. Looking down, a seatbelt was fastened across his chest.
“……”
Gil Taeseo, caught in his slightly rolled gaze, was looking this way. Leaning with his elbow against the driver’s side window, as if truly dumbfounded. Saehyeon, who confirmed even the twisted-up corner of his mouth, demurely lowered the hands that had been clasped in front of his chest onto his lap.
‘I feel a strange sense of déjà vu.’
It seemed there was some bad luck flowing through this passenger seat. Like it didn’t match his wavelength or something.
“So you thought I’d fuck you in the car when I have a perfectly good house.”
…Right. He had nothing to say even with two mouths, and his head kept bowing from embarrassment.
“I really don’t know what you think of me. Should I play along at this point?”
“…Don’t even dream about it while I’m being nice.”
But still, he couldn’t help but retort to those words. At the tiny sound leaking through gritted teeth, Gil Taeseo laughed quietly again. Clearly, it was a mocking sound. At least that’s how Saehyeon felt.
Whether this side was embarrassed or not, the car started smoothly. It didn’t take long to exit the large parking lot.
“So where are we going, all of a sudden.”
Saehyeon, who had been fidgeting with only his hands while unable to even look at the driver’s seat, suddenly asked. Embarrassment was embarrassment, and being suddenly dragged off, it seemed he thought this was a question he could ask.
“You’ll know when we get there.”
It was a considerably insincere answer for someone who had suddenly hugged a person, put them in a car, and was driving. But Gil Taeseo, after glancing this way, added more.
“Unless you want to bare your ass here according to your taste, stay quiet, yeah?”
“……”
Not a single curse was mixed in, but it was quite an effective statement.
In the end, Saehyeon, who couldn’t say anything, cast his gaze outside the car window. Through the night that had darkened while he’d been lying down depressed all day and having an argument, red and yellow lights emitted by a few cars and buildings were sliding by.
‘Maybe he changed his mind and is going back to the house in the outskirts, or maybe going to some hotel.’
But after driving a bit more, Saehyeon instinctively knew even that assumption had missed the mark. Though it was late at night, he could quickly tell it wasn’t a familiar route.
‘…Right. What meaning is there in deducing anyway.’
He was ultimately fated to be quietly dragged along. Wherever they went, at least he wouldn’t starve or be beaten to death. If that were the case, he would have already done so ages ago. Saehyeon, who had become self-abandoning, casually leaned his head against the leather backrest.
“…Hey. Lee Saehyeon. Wake up. If you don’t get out now, I’ll do as I please… okay?”
“Huk!”
Along with a distant falling sensation, Saehyeon’s body trembled violently. Reflexively wiping his mouth while looking around, he suddenly made eye contact with Gil Taeseo. Feeling embarrassed, Saehyeon looked down at his hand. There was no moisture at all, but he didn’t forget to slyly wipe it on his t-shirt.
“Really.”
When he pressed some button, the sound of the car door unlocking went thud. Before getting out, he looked outside the window, but all he could see was pitch-black darkness. Gil Taeseo, who had somehow crossed through that darkness, opened the door. The alpha who bent his body smirked and urged him to get out.
“Well then, it’s time to get out now. Sir.”
