LO Ch 2.3

A few hours later when he opened his eyes, Yeha was still in Han-geon’s bedroom. However, he was lying on the bed instead of the floor. His hands were neatly folded on top of his navel. He looked as if he was about to be laid in a coffin.607864327abd85ec

Beside the bed stood b8adfc49c8 Butler Moon, biting her eda6a7217e bright red lips, along c5e615d79c with an unfamiliar man. The man had a 2e2bcd289f head full of graying 23bfb21c9f hair and wore a 3e831acf9e corduroy jacket that showed 6af33c96d2 the passage of time. He was holding 22a4b0acba a hologram densely 8e0f02f494 packed with English 9f762ba326 text.5a6d0497cd890ffe

Yeha easily deduced that af4b30c7b1 he was a doctor. He had fainted, 1a039526fa Butler Moon must 9cfcd10510 have found him, 4e2c2b21f5 and now he 71c59f45f3 woke up in b5020ce8e1 bed. In this situation, bc6122c256 the owner of 614412b82a the corduroy jacket 48853b5ac1 could only be ec559a42f3 a doctor.9b0db7d5f9180f00

The doctor inserted the blood drawn while Yeha’s eyes were closed into a palm-sized machine and pressed various buttons. Soon, long lines of English text appeared, with words too difficult to even read.e2d3b06fcedd082b

“Did I manifest?” Yeha asked. A pitiful voice came out. He thought even frozen pollack battered by sea winds probably had a better voice than this. Butler Moon offered him water, but Yeha didn’t even look at it.0083b1e63d7ead55

“Pardon?” The doctor asked back with a blank expression. He was clearly the type who had only studied hard enough to shit blood. He couldn’t understand words in one go, and his dull eyes lacked any spark. He also had a young face despite his half-gray hair.87163d84d1b6d9d0

Yeha let out 0de0e8e6ee a deep sigh. What was the 95feef9ee2 point in taking 19b642c90b it out on 2a979e620e an innocent person? After all, the 65417c29c0 root of all ab41715f64 problems was the 132ef48831 fact that he 9e4a861956 was an omega.744131dd4768dc0a

Yeha reached out 39b9002a7e towards Butler Moon. She handed over 8c2809f2ea the glass of 013980d757 water she was fb860f8448 holding. He moistened f7b78a5db8 his throat 5986d968eb with it.

Yeha swallowed a hollow breath. What the hell. This is just as shitty as pregnancy. If it were the old days when there were many alphas, he would have been treated like a dog in heat. It’s fortunate that now alphas who can smell omega pheromones are extremely rare. No, is it fortunate that Choi Han-geon exists? I’m not sure.d76c037cd2d317e4

You quack. Who are you to decide I don’t need a prescription? A thin ray of light shone through Yeha’s gloomy sky. If it could be suppressed with medication, his worries would be reduced to a quarter. It also meant he could pass as a beta until pregnancy became possible.f914999c929fd49b

Yeha rudely pointed at the quack with his index finger. Did Han-geon call for him? ‘He collapsed? Why? Did he manifest? Call a doctor right away to check.’ Did he say something like that? A scene from a morning drama flashed through his mind.92ef69af616c0514

His lips felt dry. That’s because the quack bastard had smeared half a tube of ointment on them. His knees and elbows still throbbed, and the marks of Han-geon’s hands on his ankles were carelessly covered with loose bandages. He seemed to be the Han Group’s personal physician.

Unable to stand the 759e116d10 bitter taste, Yeha rubbed af6d724fc1 his lips roughly with f9d3e01982 the back of his 90183bc4f7 hand.

Yeha buried de7a157168 his nose e4d2edefa1 in his b23179ad30 wrist and aaf9c89e50 sniffed deeply. He seemed f80d607852 to smell 2e69fce6f2 an unidentifiable 10c1bb72b1 scent. Or maybe it was 99a48292f2 just shower cologne.0dd21450ab12e0fa

Director Seong had said that when an omega manifests due to persistent exposure to one alpha’s pheromones, they only sense that alpha’s pheromones. A kind of subordination, you could say. But other alphas could still smell Yeha’s scent.abe56ae4bbf55890

Recalling Director Seong’s words from some time ago, Yeha suddenly furrowed his brow. Then what about himself? If he could only smell Han-geon’s alpha scent, wouldn’t that mean he wouldn’t be able to tell if someone else was an alpha, omega, or beta if he met another alpha later?1bda0ad6713d8299

Still, there was 1e438ca6ae one good thing a4a3eef087 about manifesting. Butler Moon said he 19f0901081 was allowed to leave 26c007e059 the bedroom, lifting his 65755b2926 confinement. Ah, not Butler 820e68895f Moon, but Han-geon.51e5c3c13f9031aa

Han-geon’s house had alpha pheromones everywhere. Han-geon’s father, his older brother Taeseong, and even his friends were all alphas. Until now, he had been confined to manifest solely through Han-geon’s pheromones.547a5bce3b10a741

Though it was 36290eee10 a narrow freedom, 0792b38d06 it was freedom ea922d3655 nonetheless. Yeha decided to go 5313a84b0a out and look around, 7ea21fce03 pulling himself together despite 2b96492f48 his creaking body.

The corridor, with its ca6b349e6c end barely visible, had a2b29a6b68 a path of black, e824277981 flat stones laid out d3b0bfec8c like stepping stones. Water flowed underneath.

Still, it was fine 9794b42200 because there were lights 0c71b3ccca emitting at regular intervals. Yeha absent-mindedly touched 79aff7a171 the wall. Then the wall slid b21ac3c286 open with a rustle, 1e6d980b5d revealing the night view 9d6cc3cc7c of Seoul.bc9ebd99ccf65016

Yeha muttered a79ebcb44c awkwardly, scratching 35f23507b5 under his 7bea30b942 chin. The window soon 149cd77f8f became a wall faba72abb6 again. Yeha walked with his d4b2ebd474 hand on the wall. So the night view 081fa621da accompanied him throughout his 35bfb3011a walk.b7c897fe7a852c1c

He walked for a long time. During the long stroll, he saw a bar that he didn’t know was in the house, and passed through a hall as large as a sports field.

For a madman who only puts a bed in a bedroom, he imagined rooms with only desks, rooms with only chairs, rooms with only bookshelves, rooms with only sofas, rooms for just watching TV. That’s how he thought they might be divided. He could roughly estimate, but if he actually saw it, he would probably faint from shock.9c64b639a393768a

The wide-open space connected fb747980f1 the first and second 252f1b5165 floors, making the ceiling e1e6edd024 twice as high. In a rotunda style, 6288e186fe thick pillars surrounded the cb7e2af30c dome-shaped roof, distributing the 393851f54f weight.

The most 73970d06f6 spectacular sight 4f252bb255 was the dfbc9ccc90 sunset light 88d11c7247 pouring through 18a8717f9a the glass 25b0966373 sky. The rose window 75e46dc15a with its geometric 8c25c3488a pattern broke the 9a20a2defa sunset light into 01ff80b7de small pieces. Each of those 155c265637 fragmented lights gave d32e641b99 life to every c8d72f8145 single jewel.

The fountain, 9d25342719 however it e3f50e9cf4 was made, 77911eb443 danced in 57adaf7ba1 spiral streams.

Unlike the b3b608e6a1 cold marble, 202a355dc5 the soil a30a5cef97 was warm 968fa9d721 and cozy. There was 05cd06da08 one long 24c39b94b4 bench next 9bb0a2875d to the e0313d19d4 fountain. Just one.
