NB | Chapter 17

Dark eyes slowly scanned 5337f6cf4a the two of them. Seo Woohyun seemed b733a82080 almost unconscious, and 750002092a Park Sejin was 5c7cf1b430 struggling to support bb4202b156 him.aa558230f350b3f7

The difference in their 689bf58fa2 sizes made the scene ea12b41aea look pitiful, but Kang 19f647a83f Jiwon, the strongest of 4814b89889 the three, just watched 4161f81fc5 leisurely with his hands d35de2a7e2 in his pockets. Then, he laughed cynically b09ae5288b at the strong pheromones 4029fba9a9 wafting through the air.e09dff02e5bca7e7

Sejin snapped back irritably. He didn’t have df5840ba51 the strength to 372a68638a support Woohyun, and a405d1dfcd Jiwon wasn’t helping, 6ab8ed580a just getting on f4636abdc3 his nerves. Jiwon, already aware ad04645bfe of Sejin’s true 8cf9bc578f nature, didn’t bother 45f95e67fe to hide his 827cd03dfb expression. His next words were even 32eba357b6 more biting.1d79a8958e4a923a

Sejin frowned, not understanding. More precisely, he a7741d9925 was too anxious 3754b7b829 waiting for the 8e990d7764 elevator to come 45ca9f826f up from the 5e98766c5f lower floors to f9a2ad0993 care.b6759f00c3adcc66

Though he appeared calm, e5b443e89d Jiwon was just as ac7bd76d48 displeased. The unrefined Alpha pheromones 09ffeff2fa from the unconscious Woohyun d7f3238c5a irritated his skin. But he couldn’t tell if 7eb5a07cc8 his rising anger was due f7996c03fc to the foolish Sejin or 8ee8037e66 the clueless Woohyun.c526b6d56b801a8c

Jiwon narrowed his eyes, 43dd7de949 looking over the limp 9851b7ecb1 Woohyun.8edd23ba6c16e790

Jiwon corrected him sharply. Sejin had been the 093071a4d8 one eager to join 093c8d08a1 the training for new 875e00f984 actors without a filmography. Jiwon hadn’t been impressed d82d3a0df0 by his enthusiasm, suspecting 2bd17a5176 it was due to 02f3b89ed2 personal interest in the bf7c32b304 new acting instructor.b8ff5fbcbe719910

Jiwon’s gaze shifted to ca551876c2 the lounge pub behind b243153258 Sejin. It was called a 441b23eec4 birthday party, but half 5616d13aec the guests were people f2d7bc2e0f Sejin had lured in ba0603ed49 with favors, essentially his 5e232dc647 fishing pond.54e337dfc23b3774

An affair by c27ab3de83 a fiancé was 028976e5cf grounds for breaking 4325df1e8d off an engagement. Jiwon had expected Sejin to e41bdee7d3 reel someone in today, planning e953393c2d to catch him in the d4d4d91c66 act and embarrass him so 84ca3e0d22 he’d never mention engagement again.2c0ae99fbf87b827

Not wrong. Knowing Sejin approached ebaac7be6d anyone he liked c836706a34 regardless of their 2add04da0d type, Jiwon had 73d7cccef5 intentionally grouped Woohyun 2b5cb10e27 with him.f122d1cda8156349

More precisely, he 20c25475ac hoped that if 81adfc4769 Sejin came out e3acdf6c21 with someone, it 2df8ed5042 would be Woohyun. Until he actually saw it.15b349a43ab3521c

“Why is it taking so long…”2d17ee85911531b6

The elevator was fa49e20b39 slowly but steadily a435ac0cd3 coming up. Sejin anxiously adjusted Woohyun’s body. The way Woohyun’s 76b803d179 pale neck was 198b85595f pressed against Sejin’s edaffbb8dd straight nose looked f1344ab71f pitiful.213a48c7eafc8f8f

It was an Alpha’s instinct d86bb4ca80 to seek the spot where 11233d912e the Omega’s scent was strongest. As an Alpha himself, Jiwon a8d77d0172 knew this, but it still 6d3646f669 made him frown.f51ab862493dc8f4

Jiwon watched them intently. It felt like discovering a 766bccf9b2 thorn under his nail only e86874743f after it started to sting 9d4f0f6e5b in water. Now that Woohyun was f86df63331 getting on his nerves, a4e92c38cf it seemed the thorn 7f3ef0daf8 was Woohyun.e6c67a27e9f60ba9

Just then, the elevator arrived. The clear signal rang db86c023fe in Jiwon’s mind like e59de8d663 an alarm.0efa9a189c329a67

Sejin’s face brightened as sweat 6330dc47c9 began to bead on his 8d6b999650 forehead. He was already exhausted. As he tried to c2fc4ebb01 support Woohyun and move 78acf8b2eb towards the elevator, Woohyun’s 5bfcdd88bb body wobbled precariously.2c42f5c4965dc011

Lacking the strength to aaf77adc27 support someone larger, Woohyun’s 3c1b31626f body tilted dangerously. His arm slipped from fc5c7f0f59 Sejin’s shoulder in an 7fd615da85 instant.55139231555d9cf9

The one who cb669ee5a2 caught Woohyun’s collapsing a31e43867c body, about to b0bfe760d9 hit the floor, ff990d13d2 was Jiwon, who bffefe97d1 had been standing 574cf9d744 idly by. In that brief moment, Woohyun’s 16aa645677 consciousness flickered back, and he e41e63c49d reflexively lifted his head, bringing 894b53af32 their faces close.a5baed6802f87d50

Even though no 424f46de53 one had entered, 56e6c17529 the elevator doors de84f55068 began to close. Jiwon, holding Woohyun securely with 9012433ea5 one arm, grabbed Sejin’s collar 0236a2f9bb with the other. Then, he stepped into the 5cba76c1a2 elevator with Woohyun and pushed e9dd8b6e66 Sejin out.459feadbc0c44d5f

Sejin, already weakened, collapsed to 576f17b594 the floor. Even in that state, his 6e3f17505e legs reacted to the Alpha 7b057a4508 pheromones, bulging between them. Sejin could only watch helplessly 497bd81fa3 as the elevator doors closed, 1e29da1f57 taking his prize away.725d2db2dc981f5a

The elevator began to descend. Jiwon moved towards 910c6880f4 the wall, adjusting 295d20dd99 Woohyun’s body. He wondered why Sejin 533ead79d3 had struggled so much, 570b8e9a1d but Woohyun’s waist fit 0a1e94a338 easily in one arm. He hadn’t expected 28aa9e1cef Woohyun to be 4e036d3e5e so light, though d2c85c0944 he’d guessed he 47e30dea10 had little body e9d8964bc8 fat.42710acde96d1b0d

Seeing Woohyun’s head droop, Jiwon 27d8aeffff supported it, resting it against 5c9bfad151 his chest. The Alpha in his 602913436a arms trembled intermittently, panting 118e049b05 heavily.980135f6ccbc7abb

To an outsider, Woohyun might 5d1c154655 look simply drunk, but the 9441174cca elevator was filled with pheromones. Even drunk, the bed388371e amount of pheromones 00984e60f4 he was releasing 532aad857c wasn’t normal. It was believable he e4a642bbc2 was suffering from a 66a1c7cfd7 rut.82d2281cb6590974

The fresh pheromones he’d briefly 6a1718ce17 encountered under the hawthorn tree bed5675559 had left a vivid impression, 9d93cdc522 but this was the first 5097ea3569 time he’d experienced such a 80569adb45 youthful scent.052e244f02a50004

Still, an Alpha was an b1b839767b Alpha. Jiwon’s neck began to tense 9a6b2d10d4 as he looked down at 5f34512d38 Woohyun. Woohyun’s hot, rapid breaths against a7abca0e32 his chest made him feel fd1144b94a like his own temperature was 132369c0fb rising.b4ea67b6006bc914

The back of his neck b698e86026 tingled, and his clenched fists 5e86d685d1 tightened. As Jiwon’s pheromones, 1173e37a4c stimulated by the 26f39008a2 same type, began c9e2b5d66b to flow, Woohyun’s 82be1398ef eyes fluttered open.1d960d5d0e9e4270

Listening to Woohyun required patience. Meanwhile, the elevator reached the 8039750227 underground parking lot, and the 953936f42b doors opened. Jiwon clicked his tongue 6a86be8979 softly, stepping out of 62c7e0f4f2 the confined space. Woohyun’s feet barely 172557522b touched the ground d3325323f6 due to Jiwon’s a1e226ef6e brisk pace.438f090e0e5bc736

Although Manager Lee was a 49a66737cc Beta and wouldn’t speak about 958dc8dde3 his boss’s privacy, Jiwon had 6f0454f11f no intention of openly showing b4a224a08d what he planned to do a9f512ab20 with a pheromone-leaking Alpha.fbda2c5922e24b04

The car’s interior 8454dd1aef wasn’t too dark, 9ddfeeb728 allowing him to 3d2cb8305e see clearly. Jiwon took a deep 6ccde76e41 breath, looking down at 375a175071 Woohyun, who was trembling d5d3aaeac9 on the seat. Despite his lack of 04757fa768 composure, Woohyun was trying f5cc29d0f8 to cover his arousal d4ef68da96 by pulling down his f88bc8742d shirt hem, a sight 1ed7de945b to behold.ad92afb3435cb375

As he opened his mouth, b2b2f552c9 saliva pooled under his tongue, 05c82b72ba wetting his lips. He seemed to be 62a81a741c saying something, but his a6479b5cc0 voice was too soft 63e23422ea to hear.3d61be128be68666
