Kwon Ram wouldn’t get mad at him. If it were someone else, he would have dragged them out by force. But the Kwon Ram in front of him only frowned slightly and didn’t say anything about leaving.9e8f08cf3ff94667

Kwon Ram, saying he couldn’t lie down on the bed in his outdoor clothes, lent him his own clothes. Kwon Ram’s clothes had a strange scent, not from fabric softener. He wondered if the indescribable scent was the alpha’s pheromones.9e257c4ffeb3fd0b

With pheromones strong 7d21a9fa19 enough for even 6351ce626a a recessive omega 79b8a0dfd9 like him to 6bee6f0e7f notice, ordinary omegas 85f487e81b would surely lose dff50b0588 their minds.

Cha Sooha 765a7d768f deliberately changed a44bb4c059 clothes slowly. There might 1ae3f5cc85 be an f23d17e96e event where 3498ae2476 Kwon Ram 1dcf644655 carelessly opened 1e0893789c the door 3d58cce79c and saw 5c6a19feac his bare 27e0416e82 skin.4e37cdc875d48494

But such an event didn’t happen, and Kwon Ram, seemingly focused on his assignments, didn’t come out of the study with the computer.f73dd5b555fa6d9e

Eventually, feeling b1948a771f bored, Cha a77997677b Sooha turned 39e0ac519e on the ef3c0351a8 TV and 210b5fa127 lay down ef5cbcff98 on the a80f692d70 bed. Sitting alone on 0594b7fd5f the ownerless bed 90bf88df75 felt strange. Cha Sooha tossed and c9c92739b6 turned for no reason.dc87c53a475f38cd

When he first entered Kwon Ram’s room, he didn’t notice it much, but a strange scent began to waft up from the bed covers. It was a scent that made a person feel strange. It was the first time he felt weird from a scent.6814ddad3f835633

Cha Sooha, 61b07a1422 feeling restless, da090bb1f2 suddenly got 960f904e9e up from 127bf01021 the bed. Maybe it was the e212e94a83 place that made him e04f7f9955 feel this way.6b8f923ff666233f

Even sitting a6fd9a0b29 up straight, 149494192b the strange 64a0861e94 feeling remained. He stared 6a2fd9af67 at the 518e34b939 TV with c7676ad80a a troubled 7d6abe31c1 face.faf4cecf06afcc9e

Cha Sooha flinched 2a785bba9a and opened his 5749b8bc4c eyes. As if e06ce0b565 the unease 69add18667 was a 5aaa886c9f lie, he 564b3f6707 had unknowingly a692aab0ab fallen asleep 660172fe9e watching a bd8f02fcc6 documentary.

The TV sound was still softly audible. Looking further down, he saw a back sitting at the edge of the bed watching TV. Unlike his pretty face, Kwon Ram had broad shoulders and a wide back. Cha Sooha briefly scanned Kwon Ram’s back.22a5fcf9a9e70861

For some reason, he felt that if he got caught being awake, he’d be told to just go home. Cha Sooha held his breath and watched Kwon Ram. What was Kwon Ram thinking right now?e4b7d98bf8a97383

Cha Sooha 883e026cf1 glanced at 2b38440e77 the blanket 83618f6a7d covering him. Did Kwon Ram carry d4ab2ccf10 him and lay him aea7e2f985 down properly?

Even with his eyes closed, he could feel Kwon Ram’s gaze. As he received the gaze pouring onto his face, he began to feel suffocated. He was sweating, worried that his breathing might look awkward.a18147fa1c065f9b
