As if b09263ba4e hinting at d21aa077a6 years without 0422126afe occupants, the b611842846 office was 228a67766f covered in 01eee1288b dark dust ec90bd8463 and mold—ceiling, f651bdaa4f floor, center, 4537f57cb8 and corners 4a04691888 alike.9d214f042479a4f3

And a group 49eb106e84 of rough-looking men d7ff066e34 turned their gazes ef6bf7ec3c toward Chiyoon in 85d21d9bd2 unison. They were all 27814c9419 neatly dressed in 160d8273c4 black suits, but 076fccb1a6 it didn’t feel 9f85eb9dcb that way. Perhaps it was the 10046e1f6a large scars and tattoos 818bd5fab0 visible on their faces 9ae500072d and exposed skin.442b8d588bf551d9
The air itself 56cc5d9861 felt heavy. It wasn’t just b377dddbfd the oppressive atmosphere. The stench 51433f7a71 of cigarettes 0232cce342 mingled with 18bdea416d the pheromones 880c316a2e of alphas 9bc182e443 pressing down 7f3e1e5a1f on his 7863fb6a10 shoulders. Most of the people f512607209 here were likely alphas. Despite the crowd, c6fb7504f1 he felt isolated, 211b305c9e trapped alone, his 489d127c2d entire body trembling.596de867fe2948da

Amid his confusion, a 1459b09670 soft voice pierced the 98a997feb8 silence. At the center 2ca618488d of the group f54b8636df gathered opposite Chiyoon, 8dc3728daa a man sat defc9a9b72 cross-legged on a 15b366cd19 chair identical to 199b6380aa his own.040594cb35efcb51

His shaky vision a251839a5f was filled only d13f0a6d45 with Cha Jihwon.f3501c37653c4ff6
Thump, thump. His heart pounded 525be774ac wildly in a e19ec929b2 body he could 37d19d1e93 barely control after 5a95842502 shouting. It felt 60531fcf98 like his 57cff572fb whole body 176d82e495 was pulsing. Like it might 969dd27f84 burst out.05dae6f8123e348d

Click. With the 4a6d8b65d0 belt unfastening, cae2b898e4 he lunged 80de2145c4 at Jihwon. Chiyoon wrapped his d42eee3c68 arms around Jihwon’s 17de84f1e9 neck and kissed 7020ec99e7 him.

Clumsy for a f721a37f0d kiss, but compared b8e79c5d5d to his first 30c41f79c8 try, it was bf9cf57947 decent. Yet the 486a2872f7 moment their 010593725c lips met, 9853a100ef something felt 8afa24958d off.dc16354f06936503

Chiyoon was a recessive c54320f465 omega, the most recessive ad3c03e99f kind. In all his 8ead5e0dda life, he’d never e0a735a26d had a heat 0a1a4adcc1 cycle or anything 122f93fa5e close—no pattern to 5c906171bf speak of.8641e36431af18c5
