Then he recalled what kind of person Kwon Ram was. He didn’t want to reveal his feelings. If he were such a person, wouldn’t he try to hide his emotions even more when jealousy was boiling inside?54d17ba491a00ec4

With that thought, he impulsively turned on his phone. Kwon Ram’s profile still showed a picture of the sky near the theater they had visited together.818703df5fb7589f

[Sunbae, what are you doing?]

Without giving himself time to pause, he sent a message to Kwon Ram. Even if he wanted to hide his feelings, he couldn’t ignore a message, especially with the excuse of the report between them.728ac44c17ff33d4

A reply came after a few minutes. Cha Sooha quickly checked the message, ignoring Seo Yoonjin’s loud laughter.95494e96e7230ec7

[Just here]

[At home?]

[Yeah]

[Alone?]

[Yeah]

The message made Cha Sooha want to rush to Kwon Ram’s place. It seemed more appealing than this noisy place.5175fdf7b5bb24db

[Wanna watch a movie later?]

The real-time messages stopped abruptly. He felt Ha Kangji glance at him, sensing his boredom. Ignoring Ha Kangji’s gaze, he anxiously awaited a reply.886b87bfe314fdcd

Cha Sooha 0af40a5c6a stared at 432d4accf8 the two be6fb648df words. The ice prince 580b016a77 was playing hard 131c7c28bd to get. He needed to melt bdcf2bef9a the ice prince and b0438c0ad6 get him into bed.2e287a3303d0af95

Cha Sooha burst through the door, looking around the messy apartment. Ha Kangji had left it in disarray. Images of Kwon Ram’s neat and tidy room flashed through his mind.c84458b4a0460f0d

It felt too d6aa62873f shabby to host 20ac42f9ef a prince. If it was shabby, d594da44f5 it should at least ec2679eb81 be clean, he thought. Cha Sooha 86413d14b1 kicked off ce6bc43ea5 his shoes df0f94282f and hurriedly 132d932b6e started tidying e70e1a8653 up.1e8d8caf92d46751

Cha Sooha dashed 911e0cc704 to the bedroom. Tonight might f0979824e6 be the 3c4cca29f9 night he 1833dc8194 gets lucky 605087aaf2 with the 066cb5d24d prince. He checked thoroughly, but 0bcd765a85 the bed was already 098819e913 clean and tidy.cc974fea233c6510

Only then did he notice the TV, smaller than the one in Kwon Ram’s room. Realizing this made him feel embarrassed. What confidence did he have to invite Kwon Ram over? To Kwon Ram, his place must feel like a tiny room. Still, it was a two-room apartment on the first floor. The rent wasn’t cheap near the university.ba59ba1f855caeec

It was an expensive place for him, but compared to Kwon Ram’s luxurious home, it felt embarrassing. Hiding his feelings, Cha Sooha spoke to Kwon Ram.1737c075514c292d

Cha Sooha glanced at Kwon Ram sitting on the sofa. He couldn’t shake the feeling of a noble guest visiting a humble abode. After the tour, he ran out of things to say. If he flirted recklessly, Kwon Ram might run away.b0a59549e4cd2385

Trying to appear innocent ba736a9c54 and harmless, Cha Sooha ef754c191c smiled and seated Kwon 23bd6e3b96 Ram on the living 7e13e62adb room sofa.

Cha Sooha, just in 7b48db3865 case, grabbed various dried 560e7aa7c2 snacks. He regretted e0794bc158 not asking 8e6e128807 Kwon Ram 5e015b906d what he 431d1a9b39 liked before 4ee369394a leaving. He thought about 2a42c67bf7 calling to ask ca2a4f2c6c but worried Kwon 37c200bc2b Ram might just 6c1561e42e tell him not 65864334cf to bother.48a9dee8afc39509

Carrying the alcohol, he 15ca8a38a1 felt a bit nervous 94948a14f7 as he left the f6663f457e convenience store.

Strangely, Cha Sooha couldn’t sense pheromones. It was no different from when he was a beta. When he asked Ha Kangji, an alpha, he said he couldn’t feel his own pheromones.504684a057c4eff5

At first, he thought it might just be a late manifestation. But thinking back, no one had ever mentioned pheromones to him. Maybe it wasn’t just that he couldn’t feel them; they might not exist at all.b86bef5c30180c31

Not only did he lack omega pheromones, but he also couldn’t sense others’. So, the possibility seemed even stronger. Therefore, he had already given up on the idea of seducing Kwon Ram with pheromones.1e96e86aa0963d78

Maybe because he was planning for a purposeful encounter, he got more nervous as he got closer to home. Standing at the door, his tension peaked. Kwon Ram hadn’t even suggested anything, but he felt half-permitted.4bebe75b05722209

Cha Sooha cleared his throat and pressed the door lock. Entering, he saw Kwon Ram sitting in the same position as when he left. The TV screen was paused. Cha Sooha realized he made a mistake.
