‘If I think about it with a slight twist, the answer comes.’
Perhaps I’d been underestimating the original Nam Heejae’s role.
In other words, it’s not that there’s been a change in Baek Sahyun and Chae Eunwoo’s romantic front—could it be that I’m interfering with their time to build affection? They were originally the type to growl at each other and sharpen their claws before locking eyes, so if I just disappeared, wouldn’t they naturally fight and mess around with each other!
‘So I need to get out of the way. So these bastards can lock eyes with each other.’
If I conclude it this way, all doubts are resolved. In other words, the interferer was me all along. If I just disappeared, they’d definitely be the type to fight then kiss, strip off their clothes, go to bed, and all that.
Having gained enlightenment and feeling at ease, I looked up at Baek Sahyun with cunning eyes. Baek Sahyun, who received my gaze head-on, furrowed his brow sharply.
“Sahyun-ah.”
I called Baek Sahyun in a serious and calm voice.
Right. Let me, the older one, help out. If the two of them go smoothly well together, the fate of the original Nam Heejae, who would be tortured by Baek Sahyun and miserably run away, could also change.
“Baek Sahyun.”
When there was no response and I called his name again, Baek Sahyun exhaled with a “haah.”
“What.”
Though his tone felt somewhat blunt, I easily ignored it. I grinned and patted Baek Sahyun’s shoulder.
“Thanks for helping me earlier. I’ll buy you a meal later.”
“It’s fine.”
“Hey, come on. I’ll treat you properly.”
“I said it’s fine.”
“So go play with Eunwoo today.”
“What?”
The guy made a puzzled expression for a moment, so I quickly added an explanation.
“I mean I’m going to go to another room. You should play with Eunwoo. I’m tired and want to sleep quickly.”
Just as I concluded the conversation quite plausibly, Chae Eunwoo’s whining voice was heard from outside.
“Excuse me, hyung! Can’t you just open the door? At this rate I’m going to freeze to death!”
The timing was perfectly exquisite.
“Got it, just a moment!”
It was when I was rushing to quickly open the door. I suddenly felt a presence from behind, then my nape was grabbed and I was slammed into the entryway.
“Ugh!”
I let out a low scream as my forehead went bang. Baek Sahyun, who had grabbed my nape and pushed me, applied force to his hand once more.
“Hey, Baek Sahyun…!”
This psychopath! As I felt like my skull was going to crack, I urgently tried to stop him, but my posture was just flipped so I faced forward. Baek Sahyun, who had turned my body to face him, sent a cold glare.
His pretty face had already hardened coldly.
“I’m more tired, Heejae.”
At the sentence that popped out of Baek Sahyun’s mouth, I could only gape with my mouth open. Baek Sahyun slowly added.
“While you were drinking heavily, I was busy dealing with executives.”
“…Um, I was busy too, you know?”
“Dealing with your drunken behavior was also annoying.”
…I think I did drink a lot today, but the alcohol buzz had long since worn off. I was so scared that my mind had sobered up cleanly. So the time Baek Sahyun dealt with my drunken behavior could be said to be very short.
“Right, you worked hard.”
When I reluctantly answered, Baek Sahyun tilted his head toward me.
There wasn’t even space left to back away, so I was very flustered. As my back stuck to the entryway, he slowly raised his hand and cupped my cheek.
“If you keep being boring, I won’t let it slide.”
“……”
“If you’re possessed by a ghost, you should at least be entertaining. That way I’ll get something out of it too.”
Fingers with low warmth stroked my skin lengthily. My vision became all hazy and I hurriedly promised.
“I’ll be fucking entertaining from tomorrow. I’ll be entertaining, so can’t you move aside for now…?”
Because having my face close to another guy’s was very uncomfortable and gave me goosebumps.
Though Baek Sahyun’s mug was an undeniably handsome appearance to anyone, that only worked on women—it had absolutely no effect on me, being the same gender.
“How?”
But no matter how much I pleaded, Baek Sahyun didn’t move his mountain-like build. He rather asked brazenly.
“How are you going to be entertaining?”
I wanted to retort that if I knew that, would I be doing this, but fear won over pride this time too. I muttered in a trembling voice.
“With, with a trip.”
“Mmm.”
“You like water play. Do water play. After doing it a few times, I think it’s fun too. So please, don’t do other stuff. Really, actions like, you know, kissing like last time are really too unpleasant.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. We’ll go do water play and eat barbecue…”
“Eat?”
Tap, Baek Sahyun’s forehead bumped against mine as if urging. I gulped down my saliva and continued.
“We’ll even do an exorcism if you want. Do a ritual, stick on talismans…, want to do séance stuff too?”
“……”
“You’re excited already, right? Haha, I’m excited too….”
I racked my brain as much as I could and listed only elements that Baek Sahyun would likely find interesting, but for some reason the results weren’t good. Baek Sahyun had been glaring at me with an uncomfortable face since earlier.
“Sahyun-ah?”
When I carefully opened my mouth, he gestured behind me with his eyes and whispered.
“The Omega smell is strong, so I feel terrible.”
Just like at the cafe, Baek Sahyun pointed out Chae Eunwoo’s pheromone smell. When did he threaten me saying that kid wasn’t an Omega, and now he’s openly singing the Omega Omega song.
“Who was the bastard insisting Chae Eunwoo was a Beta…”
When I muttered filled with that sentiment, Baek Sahyun snickered.
“That’s because you went crazy saying I got him pregnant. It’s all in the past, so hurry and come here.”
“Why?”
“We have to chase him away.”
That was the end. Baek Sahyun’s lips attacked me in an instant.
Breath rushed in between our tightly pressed lips. I had thought his skin was on the cold side, but the inside of Baek Sahyun’s mouth was so hot it felt like it would burn my tongue.
It’s a bit embarrassing to say this now, but I’m quite pure. Actually, I wasn’t just pure—I was extremely pure. In other words, I’m a virgin who’s never undone my belt in front of anyone.
It may not be something to brag about that I couldn’t even properly lose my V-card even with my thirties right before my eyes, but it wasn’t shameful either. When I was busy enough to die living hand to mouth, where would I have had time to meet women?
I had no money for dating, no leisure, and no stamina. I just wanted to earn a ton of money so our smart Jang Haesu could live spreading her wings as much as she wanted.
That way, even if an unexpected situation happened to me, I could at least prepare Haesu’s tuition. For example, if a useless older brother got hit-and-run and died… something like that.
‘I suddenly miss Haesu.’
It was the moment when thinking of Haesu made regret surge up again with a choke. Baek Sahyun, who had bitten and released my lower lip gently, muttered in detail.
“Are you perhaps a bachelor ghost?”
“…What?”
“Your face turned red. Seems like you haven’t kissed much. Right?”
It wasn’t wrong, but perhaps because Baek Sahyun was smiling so brightly, I didn’t feel very good. The guy even tilted his head toward me as if trying to attempt another kiss.
I shouted while pushing his shoulders as if having a fit.
“Ugh, stop it!”
Right, that’s correct. I almost forgot and lived on, but this is inside a gay novel where two overzealous gay bastards have sickening sex and even get pregnant. It means it’s a world where two guys with thought processes I can’t even follow in the first place beat the drum and play the janggu themselves.
“You crazy bastard! Do you kiss people to chase them away?”
When I barely regulated my breathing and snapped, Baek Sahyun hardened his eyes coldly. But I also hadn’t thrown that question wanting to hear an answer. What could I expect from a bastard who’s just a novel character?
However, thinking that I missed Jang Haesu too much today, I pushed Baek Sahyun’s chest with a thud once more. Naturally, his solid body remained motionless.
Baek Sahyun asked.
“Done pushing?”
After a moment of silence, I pulled myself together and lowered my voice as much as possible.
“Move while I’m asking nicely, you son of a bitch.”
Though there wasn’t really any action I could take if talking didn’t work, I thought I had nothing to lose. Baek Sahyun, who had been looking down at me with lowered eyes, whispered while fluttering his long eyelashes. He was just like a fox.
“When you come at me like that, in a way… you resemble Nam Heejae.”
His straight finger smoothly brushed my cheek. It was the first positive evaluation I’d heard since possessing Nam Heejae’s body. When I blinked my eyes that had been slightly surprised and wide open, he added.
“But you’re still lacking. You know that, right?”
It’s not like the son of a bitch is playing with people! I, who had been holding my breath in tension, let out my breath in futility.
