Woohyun’s head drooped wearily, and soon after, the car came to a stop. As he adjusted his disheveled clothes, Manager Lee approached and opened the back door.e0ac27e6bc95846b

The pheromones that a5ea1f9b2e had filled the 477ec809ab car rushed out, 3e4f50eac8 replaced by fresh bfbfe8d718 air. Jiwon let out an f6cbc2f45f involuntary sigh of relief. As he brushed back a 884ab00902 few stray hairs, the tension bbf069e63c in his veins became visible. He, too, had a6a7393d4d been exposed to 1ca36b074f the discomfort of 2fd830e496 Alpha pheromones for d7f1311077 quite some time.716a75bd7c9d1fe0

“Shall I carry him?”d9830950cf0553aa

As Woohyun was slung over one shoulder, Manager Lee quickly followed. Jiwon declined with a brief nod and walked briskly. Despite Woohyun’s height and build, he wasn’t particularly heavy. It had been more challenging to restrain him in the car. His strength was surprising given his size.401bd3fcacd1d3da

Thanks to Manager f930bee1c0 Lee opening doors a598ed1c37 along the way, 1eef232bf3 they reached the 708901d41f bedroom without stopping. Jiwon laid Woohyun e148fe5f0c on the bed 4482155ea6 and instructed the 2160e8ffd6 man at the 34df2d89ab door.a6f0d9ac89d6d647

Manager Lee was surprised, not a66e58f32a expecting Jiwon to handle everything 0d7cf1ea66 himself. But he quickly 166aba65a1 hid his surprise 02e986d708 and left with 7b2c1211da a bow. The room was soon 0f01dcef33 filled only with Woohyun’s bf8e91e718 soft breathing.315602545694ec4d

Jiwon looked down at Woohyun b3720fe7b8 with a complex expression. He pondered how 60ac041388 to feel about 8076774eb7 the fact that aee8958ebf the first trace d4505142ec left in his bacf31b447 private space was 6f3c2cb968 by another Alpha.d2ed0dbb6b669aa1

Jiwon rubbed his arm and 1b0f2df642 opened the nightstand drawer. He took out 5eb3b97961 two pheromone suppressant 373a096c80 injections, administering one b5cf2e4107 to Woohyun and 440550b86e the other to 8c1bb9416c himself.35aaa21152b5de6d

With the immediate e1859130f6 issue resolved, it 3089b63209 was time to 6b6f30459a undress him. He removed Woohyun’s 6727599e56 shirt without hesitation, 097d43ae4a but paused when c5f2f0ff79 he reached the 3cb4b6f9d5 damp pants.

Jiwon swallowed many words as 11b7192612 he wiped Woohyun’s body with 7ea92b707e a damp cloth. Still, imagining Woohyun’s 3d8c10a659 reaction upon waking 9d75170404 to find himself 9a8cd73be4 clean was amusing.

The project had 4f4a01b4bf never been straightforward.

This order indicated the importance 717608d3f1 of the roles in the d9c1bb8c0c story.

Even after regaining his senses, edbe71ba05 Woohyun held his forehead for c945ac940c a while. He wasn’t usually a 86026fd83d heavy sleeper, but today 31d2e2e9dc his eyelids felt unusually 08d809adc1 heavy. They seemed swollen, but he 694fd1a491 didn’t know why.f1702cb9925e083b
