ODKO | Chapter 30

Suddenly, Jack’s nose felt itchy. His ears were itchy too. He couldn’t decide whether to sneeze or scratch his unbearably itchy ears, so he took short breaths. The sneeze that had reached the bridge of his nose subsided, leaving an uncomfortable sensation. Ugh, feeling unresolved and annoyed, Jack let out a low groan and scratched his ears instead.f8d0538256e8616a

Was someone badmouthing him? No matter how much he scratched, his ears didn’t feel any better. Ugh, Jack swallowed the groans that kept coming.f0ff64d13f938e9f

“Someone must be cursing you out pretty thoroughly.”f8b29dc262fdb72d

Jack blinked blankly, not understanding what Cayenne meant. Cayenne gathered a bundle of documents, twisting his lips mischievously. It was clear he was thinking, “Serves you right.” Jack squinted his eyes.aa901bf07f424c0a

“Isn’t it obvious? Half of it is probably you cursing me, and the other half is the nobles’ envy and jealousy.”970c8b2de6d7e552

In response to Jack’s grumpy protest, Cayenne poked his head out like a meerkat. Meeting Jack’s eyes, he snorted as if it was ridiculous.ee2adbca60003b7b

“Sorry. I’ll correct it. I haven’t submitted it because I have nowhere to go even if I leave the dormitory.”5300849f5852c8b1

Realizing that a stupid question was worse than not asking at all, Jack quickly corrected his answer. But Cayenne’s furrowed brow didn’t relax.2dda91d65b8a3b8b

“You have parents and siblings, so why don’t you have anywhere to go?”934b18c0ae3f717a

“My hometown is a rural area in the south, and it takes five days just to travel back and forth. It’s a waste of time to go there just to stay for three or four days…, and the house is small and uncomfortable. The dormitory is much more convenient.”5ec3f890562059b8

“……”38d999fee71916b1

Jack smiled innocently. Holding the bundle of documents in his hand, Cayenne had an unreadable expression. Although it was a frown, there was no sign of displeasure, and Jack couldn’t understand what emotion it contained.44910cc29344fd88

It was a look he’d never seen before, as if something had caught him off guard or as if he were looking at a creature from another world. He didn’t think he’d made a mistake, so what was the problem? Overwhelmed by confusion, Jack forced a smile and tilted his head.9d0039ba0f570f35

Cayenne, clutching 5204058d88 the bundle 0fec4cd2d1 of documents 32c12990a8 with both 17c43da92a hands, suddenly 495cd50ed1 muttered a 949ebca2be curse. Jack still 2640c46944 had a 12aaec71a4 puzzled smile, 36b59036b8 blinking dumbly. For some reason 7aa0a0197a unknown to Jack, ad9e9f3194 Cayenne was filled 1037e17812 with some sort 01e6eb0e2a of dissatisfaction and 3542c8379d fell into silent bd37d35fcb contemplation.204463f3cebc313d

What the hell, seriously, what the hell. No matter how much he threatened, intimidated, pleaded, or even threw a fit in front of him, Jack Carlson’s arrogant attitude remained unshaken, and Cayenne realized something was going wrong. He couldn’t pinpoint where it all went wrong.697abd89e5943405

Should he have b7d1d6d78d just cut his 9b453cff74 neck last time? Or was it 22faae83ac a mistake to cc37c1f625 include him in 573f0f91c4 the vacation because fb57d8d300 he felt sorry f7c8998ece for his situation, d97809fe6f having nowhere to 1d49549a37 go despite being ac7017cd33 given a fifteen-day 973ff3639d vacation?

Despite the relentless threats, the angle of climbing up was a bit concerning, but even considering everything, Jack’s massage was excellent enough to be worth contemplating. Moreover, the fact that Jack already knew he was an Omega and about the side effects of the stabilizer meant there was nothing to hide in front of him, which was undeniably comfortable.ecc0fac84c22a7a6
