CR | Chapter 3.5

Kim Donghwa, startled, stepped back. Wi Woori watched him with interest, his eyebrows twitching. Seeing Kim Donghwa’s face that seemed like it would react at the slightest touch, yet claiming he wouldn’t, made Woori want to break through that facade.

“Even like this?”

This time, he fiddled with his earlobe. Kim Donghwa slightly grimaced and hunched his shoulders. His gaze towards Woori seemed to sharpen a bit.

“Ah, stop it.”

“Endure it, you said you don’t get excited.”

“No, it’s just… too close.”

“Is being close a big deal?”

Kim Donghwa turned his head away, avoiding Woori’s gaze. Being this close, Donghwa’s subtle pheromones gently enveloped Woori’s senses, making it feel like all his nerves would jump to life any moment.

He never imagined an omega’s pheromones could stimulate an alpha this much. Or maybe it was because Woori was deliberately engaging in physical contact. Every breath Donghwa took seemed to sweep over his skin, making things quite uncomfortable.

Is this what being an alpha is like? It felt like the air, usually colorless and odorless, had suddenly gained color and scent. The thought of others smelling this fragrance made him dizzy, and the prospect of enduring this scent in the future seemed daunting.

And at the same time, he was confused. Not only was his body not listening, but he was also worried about what would happen during his rut if he was already this affected.

Meanwhile, Wi Woori stepped closer. Now, Woori’s dry swallow was audible. His heart started to beat faster, thump thump. Kim Donghwa held his breath, trying to look nonchalant as he looked down at Woori.

“Even like this?”

This time, Woori pressed his waist close. The gentle pressure at the groin was clearly intentional, trying to stimulate… But why?

Now, he was curious. Even if he had an erection because he liked Woori, why was Woori trying to make something of it?

Normally, Woori would have teased him about getting hard all over town, but now he was making a fuss just to stimulate him.

“Ah, why are you really doing this?”

“Because I’m getting defiant.”

“What kind of defiance?”

“Why don’t I stimulate you?”

“Why should I be stimulated?”

Kim Donghwa slightly backed away, tilting his head. Unfortunately, there was a wall right behind him, leaving no escape. He bit his lower lip and looked down. Woori’s gaze was so direct that it dried Woori’s lips.

Everything was stimulating: the thigh thrust between his, the chest so close they almost touched, even the breath warming his neck.

It was troublesome. Frustrating and suffocating.

“Ah, stop.”

If he got an erection now, it would really be over. Kim Donghwa grabbed Woori’s shoulders, pushing him away slightly. His lower abdomen felt like it was about to react.

“This is the last time.”

The last time? As he looked down at him, Woori suddenly lunged forward, as if to kiss him. Kim Donghwa instinctively pulled back his face, almost touching lips.

Woori, who had closed his eyes, slowly opened them, looking up at him. Those light eyes staring at him seemed somehow on fire, or was that just an illusion?

Kim Donghwa felt the sharp, stimulating air around him as he looked down at Woori, who he saw every day. His heart felt tight. Staring at his white face with pretty features, his red lips caught his eye.

I’m going crazy.

The ticking of the clock seemed louder. Kim Donghwa licked his lips. Thump thump, the rough heartbeat, he couldn’t tell if it was his or Woori’s. Just as Woori was about to step back with a sly smile, Kim Donghwa grabbed the back of Woori’s head.

Breathing heavily, he closed his eyes.

“You started this.”

With that heavy statement, their lips met.

Wi Woori opened his eyes wide in surprise. Kim Donghwa, who had declared that he had started this, seemed to have no intention of pulling away, gripping Woori’s head tightly.

Seeing Woori’s obedient form with his beautiful eyelids lowered, his heart raced like it was being pounded in a mortar. Am I kissing him right now? With Kim Donghwa? It was an unbelievable situation. Is this a dream? His lips twitched, and so did the lips touching his.

Given how vivid this felt, it seemed like reality.

What should I do, continue or stop?

Even though he had provocatively pressed his lips against him to tease, he hadn’t intended to actually kiss him. After all, Kim Donghwa didn’t have feelings for him. Kissing someone you like is supposed to be meaningful only after hearts connect, so he just meant to scare him a little…

Does Kim Donghwa usually kiss like this? With anyone? As far as Woori knew, Kim Donghwa had no dating experience. Yet, he kissed him without hesitation, and it even felt skilled.

Or does he like me too…?

Confused, his eyes darted around. Meanwhile, a soft piece of flesh gently pushed through the slightly parted lips. Crazy, he’s really kissing me. Feeling like his heart might burst, Woori tightly shut his eyes, thinking, whatever.

The tongue that had softly entered paused slightly. Was Kim Donghwa not affected at all while kissing? After a moment, as if catching its breath, the tongue gently stroked his lips again.

“Huup…”

Before he knew it, a heavy breath escaped. As Woori squirmed, the hand that had been stroking the back of his head slowly moved down to gently massage the nape of his neck, as if to say, “Don’t be tense,” soothing him.

Feeling the gentle strokes and caresses, Woori slowly closed his eyes, focusing on the act. The hot tongue swept across the roof of his mouth. Somehow, it felt like his mouth was tingling, making the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.

“Umm, hmm…”

There was no stopping the moans from escaping. Woori gripped Donghwa’s shoulders more actively, meeting his tongue.

Kim Donghwa slightly opened his eyes. Seeing Woori, held by him, moaning in distress, his lower abdomen bubbled as if he’d get an erection any moment. Their thighs were touching, and if he got an erection now, he’d be teased mercilessly, but he had no time to question it.

The concentration of pheromones was unusually thick. Had he not manifested as an alpha, he might not have reacted this strongly to external stimuli. The feeling of pheromones enveloping his whole body was like being pricked by sharp needles or tickled by soft feathers.

His head tingled. Even though he had never kissed before, his tongue seemed to know exactly what to do, instinctively seeking out the points of stimulation.

The entwined tongues were hot enough to melt, and Woori, trembling with his eyes tightly shut, looked incredibly beautiful. The long eyelashes fluttering, the furrowed brows trembling, everything was stimulating.

When the heavy breathing became too much, slightly pulling away his lips, Woori lazily opened his eyes, meeting his gaze. His light eyes, filled with a dreamy haze, were slightly unfocused.

Fuck, he’s so pretty.

Swallowing his appreciation for Woori, Kim Donghwa pulled him closer and pressed their lips together again. This time, with lips slightly more parted, Woori sucked on his tongue with vigor.

Suddenly, Woori trembled. It was because the scent of Kim Donghwa’s cologne intensely stimulated his nose. Not just that, the hot, humid air seemed to press down on him, creating a heavy sensation.

What is this?

Even if the boiling in his lower abdomen was due to the hot tongue exploring his mouth, the heightened sensitivity of his nerves to every stimulus was bewildering.

Then, he snapped back to reality. Like a buoy caught in a wave, Woori quickly regained his composure and pushed Kim Donghwa away. They had kissed so passionately that Donghwa’s handsome lips were already swollen.

Staring at the glistening lips, Woori suddenly grabbed his own. Feeling the unusually stimulating lips today, he gasped.

“…Cr-crazy. What did we just do!”

Woori shouted, frantically moving away from him.

Panting, blinking, but Kim Donghwa showed no particular reaction, just staring at him blankly.

Woori shivered, sensing the fresh scent of rain filling the room. It was an inexplicable sensation. He approached him cautiously. Kim Donghwa didn’t run away like before, as if he had seen everything there was to see.

“Did you… manifest?”

His suspicion of whether Kim Donghwa liked him took a different turn.

For the best reading experience, visit lilyonthevalley.com

Even without emotions, if he had manifested as an alpha, this heavy scent and his incomprehensible actions made sense. Although Woori didn’t understand much about alphas since he wasn’t attracted to them, it was said that when pheromones mixed, both alphas and omegas would be drawn to each other.

“…I bought it on the street, the cologne.”

He had suspected if Donghwa had manifested, but…

The quiet reply left no room for further questions. Anyway, knowing Kim Donghwa’s personality, he wouldn’t give a straight answer even if pressed.

Kim Donghwa internally sighed, seeing Woori accept it so effortlessly. Woori, who had always sung about disliking alphas, had not only kissed him but revealing he had manifested would only double the dislike.

His already red, swollen lips looked even more provocative. Kim Donghwa forced himself to look away, opening the fridge door with a bang to grab some cold water.

After gulping it down to quell the heat inside, his mind seemed to return. As Woori’s pheromones subsided a bit, he could see Woori, still flushed.

“Want some?”

Trying to ignore the awkwardness, he handed him water as if it were any other day. Woori silently took it, his eyes darting around, clearly uncomfortable.

“…I’m sorry for the kiss. I didn’t mean to, it just happened while I was trying to provoke you.”

“…”

“Are you mad?”

Awkwardness aside, resolving this situation was the priority. Lowering his head to meet Woori’s gaze, Kim Donghwa bit his lower lip seeing Woori looking elsewhere.

“Then I won.”

At this sudden statement, Woori’s eyes widened.

What did you win? What did you do?

“We had a bet. Whether you’d fall for it or not.”

“When?”

“I did it earlier, in my head.”

“How would I know about something you did in your head?”

“So, did you fall for it or not?”

The dazed Woori was gone. Now back to his usual self, Woori pointed his index finger right in front of Kim Donghwa’s nose, wagging it.

In front of such an assertive Woori, Kim Donghwa had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. As if admitting his fault, he mumbled, “I fell for it,” and Woori crossed his arms triumphantly.

“Then grant my wish.”

Though it felt slightly unfair, there was never a time he didn’t fulfill what Woori wanted. What’s the harm in granting one more wish? Kim Donghwa nodded slightly.

“What’s the wish?”

“Keep it.”

“What?”

“Don’t play with words.”

He had tried to lighten the mood, but it backfired.

Kim Donghwa smacked his lips and nodded again in agreement. Somehow, the sweet scent of Woori’s pheromones lingered in his mouth. So, other alphas would smell this refreshing scent too.

It somehow annoyed him. There was no way to control it…

While frowning in displeasure, Woori added one more thing.

“…Let’s pretend today never happened.”

He didn’t have time to see what expression Kim Donghwa would make at his words. If he seemed pleased, Woori would get angry, and if not, he’d act like a robot, clicking away.

Woori quickly entered the room, trying to calm his pounding heart. Crazy, we kissed. Even thinking back, it felt like the world had turned upside down. He touched his lips gently. The sensation of the swollen lips was so vivid.

I really kissed Kim Donghwa.

His eyes widened, and his heart plummeted at an incredible speed. It felt like someone had thrown a huge rock into a calm lake. The ripples refused to subside, leaving a massive impact, complicating his thoughts.

Hoping they wouldn’t become awkward, he tried to act cool about pretending it never happened. He even added some nonsense about a bet for Kim Donghwa’s sake, who might be panicking. But his heart kept racing without any sign of slowing, and the more he tried to calm his breath, the faster it got.

Ah… ruined. Woori tightly shut his eyes. He shouldn’t have provoked him. The belated regret was unavoidable.

Worse, the kiss with Kim Donghwa was incredibly good.
