I knew he’d already seen my whole face last week, but his gaze touching me was still uncomfortable.
Should I put my mask back on? But we have to kiss like that day anyway. Then isn’t it right to keep it off?
After wavering for a few seconds, I ultimately couldn’t endure the persistent gaze and decided to put my mask back on. As I hurriedly tried to hook the strings attached to both ends over my ears, Kwon Yujin grabbed my chin and stopped me.
“Mmph.”
Then he bent down and kissed me.
And so, without warning again, the kiss continued. Today, although the indoor lighting was low, it wasn’t as dark as last week, so we could see each other’s faces quite clearly.
What is Kwon Yujin thinking while looking at me? He must think I’m disgusting and dirty, right?
If not for the imprint, an outstanding alpha like Kwon Yujin would have had no reason to have skinship with a pathetic omega like me, so it wouldn’t be strange if he resented me.
So should I ask to turn off all the lights now?
“Focus.”
“Hngh.”
“Looks like you have room to think about other things.”
Kwon Yujin warned, biting my lower lip.
“Turn off the lights. Haah, I’ll go turn them off.”
“I already saw your whole face anyway. Don’t you remember what we did last time?”
“I still don’t like it.”
When I turned my head away in disgust, our lips, which had been touching as if about to meet, completely separated.
I could see the tendons on Kwon Yujin’s jaw bulging.
“If you do it properly, I’ll turn them off.”
“We can just turn them off now and do it again.”
I pushed Kwon Yujin, but he seemed to have no intention of backing down. Even though he knew I found his gaze burdensome, he didn’t care at all.
Rather, as if to show off, he scanned my face even more persistently. I lowered my gaze and steadied my breathing to somehow avoid meeting his eyes.
“Your face is really red right now.”
“Don’t look, it’s dirty….”
“Dirty?”
“Ah, please.”
The surging shame was difficult to bear. Heat rushed to my face, and I could feel my pounding pulse not only in my chest but even in my cheeks.
Facing Kwon Yujin without any protective equipment to hide me was beyond simple embarrassment—it was even humiliating.
But to Kwon Yujin, something like my suffering was nothing. He seemed to rather enjoy watching me suffer. He deliberately slowly lowered his head and nibbled on my lips, and as if that wasn’t enough, he even licked my cheek.
“Huk.”
As something damp and soft crawled like a snake and licked my cheek, I couldn’t help but be appalled. The shock made my stomach churn as if I were motion sick.
“Are you crazy? Why are you licking there?”
A scream-like sound burst out involuntarily. I hadn’t made such a loud sound recently, so my voice cracked at the end.
“Dirty… I, I clearly said it’s dirty.”
The dirty one was obviously my face. If it were up to me, I wanted to tell Kwon Yujin to go rinse his mouth right away.
While I was gasping for breath with my hands covering my cheeks, trying to digest the shock, a strange light appeared in Kwon Yujin’s eyes instead. He raised the corners of his mouth as if he found my flustered reaction amusing to death.
Then he opened his mouth and whispered quietly in a husky voice.
“Crazy bastard.”
Then the kiss continued again. He pulled down my hands covering my face and gripped both my wrists, pressing down so I couldn’t move at all. As I stumbled backward, pushed by him while receiving his kisses, my legs touched the bed before I knew it.
Kwon Yujin, who immediately pushed me down, climbed on top of me. I ended up in a position where I was helplessly pinned beneath him.
“Hngh, ngh.”
With one hand braced beside my ear and the other hand fixing my hands, there was no gap to resist. My head was dizzy from the pouring alpha pheromones. A hazy feeling of my consciousness being rapidly eroded.
I’m sure it was because of the alcohol last week, so why am I feeling like this again? Even as I wondered, at some point I was mindlessly kissing him. Contrary to my will, my body craved Kwon Yujin’s body temperature and breath.
Before I knew it, my hands, now free, naturally went up onto Kwon Yujin’s shoulders. And I pulled him closer. Then the rich alpha pheromones seeped even deeper inside me.
“Haah, haah.”
It was Kwon Yujin who first stopped the kiss that had been continuing for a long time. He briefly separated his lips and lowered his head, deeply inhaling the pheromones flowing from around my collarbone. I stared at him blankly as if intoxicated.
“The medication’s effect is good.”
“……”
“You weren’t lying when you said you were fine during heat cycles, were you?”
At those words, I remembered that I had swallowed the pheromone inducer just moments ago. As soon as I recognized the fact I’d forgotten, my condition felt strange. It was definitely different from usual.
Wanting Kwon Yujin’s pheromones too much, my body heating up. Above all, the desire to press closer to Kwon Yujin surged to an uncontrollable degree—that was strange.
For a moment, images too obscene to put into words flashed through my mind. It was a scene that shouldn’t happen in reality. I gasped deeply, startled as if burned.
Without realizing it, I pushed Kwon Yujin hard.
“This is weird.”
I muttered like that and got up from the bed. At that moment, Kwon Yujin’s brow furrowed.
“What is.”
“I think I need to go home.”
I hurriedly put on my mask and picked up the hat that had fallen on the floor. If I delay any longer like this, I feel like I’ll make a terrible request to Kwon Yujin.
Why am I like this? My lower abdomen tingled and my waist kept swaying even at small movements. Like my sensitivity had become excessively keen. I’ve never been like this before. I’ve never had such perverted thoughts about another person either….
“I’m leaving. I really can’t do this today.”
“Where are you going?”
As I hurriedly ran to the door as if fleeing, Kwon Yujin grabbed my shoulder. Along with physical force, my body turned around. The opponent was overwhelmingly superior in both speed and strength.
“You said you’d help.”
Kwon Yujin said as if chewing his words. He seemed angry, and he also seemed to be in a strange state like me.
“You said it with your own mouth, Hyun Taeyoung.”
I barely shook my head.
“Right now, if I keep staying here….”
There will be a problem. My instinct was warning me like that.
I felt a trembling close to chills and regretted it belatedly. I shouldn’t have taken that medication. Why did I swallow it so easily when I’d never even taken it before? I felt like an idiot.
“I think it’s a side effect. This is weird.”
“That level is a normal reaction. The problem is it’s working better than expected.”
“No, there’s no way it’s normal. Something’s wrong.”
I stretched out my arm to keep Kwon Yujin from approaching any further, maintaining distance.
“Let me go. Please.”
“Hyung.”
But when the word ‘hyung’ came out of Kwon Yujin’s mouth, I couldn’t move as if caught in a trap.
“You promised to help me compete in the tournament.”
“That’s….”
“Was it a lie?”
A whisper that seemed to suppress his true feelings and lure the other person out. Unlike his calm tone, Kwon Yujin’s chest repeatedly swelled large and deflated.
What happens if I leave now? Kwon Yujin might not be able to participate in the tournament. Or he might participate but get terrible records.
It was my responsibility in the first place that he imprinted on me. If only I hadn’t secretly gone to his match to see him, this wouldn’t have happened.
Kwon Yujin had been a victim from before until now. So I had no justification to refuse him.
I hurriedly shook my head.
“It’s not a lie. I really want to help too.”
How could I dare lie to you? I hoped Kwon Yujin wouldn’t doubt my sincerity.
“Then help me.”
“……”
There seemed to be only one way to prove my innocence. I felt the tip of my lips trembling.
“In the way I want.”
The trembling quickly transferred to my eyelids and fingertips. My pupils dilated, and the blood throughout my body rushed fiercely. My entire body was yearning for him. It cried out for his pheromones, his kisses, and even more that I hadn’t experienced yet.
I know I shouldn’t do this, but Kwon Yujin said this was the way he wanted it.
In the end, I stopped trying to escape from him.
“Good job.”
As the strength drained from my resisting body, Kwon Yujin whispered. Then, as if he’d been waiting for this moment, he snatched me up.
In less than a few seconds, led by Kwon Yujin, I was lying on the bed again. In an instant, our eye levels became misaligned. I had to look up at Kwon Yujin from far below.
He took off his top in one swift motion while kneeling. He threw the T-shirt outside the bed just like that. I flinched at even the very small sound of the clothes hitting the floor.
Kwon Yujin’s gaze looking down at me had cooled coldly, as if asking when he’d ever been affectionate.
“Take off your pants and get on your stomach on the bed.”
