NB | Chapter 17

Dark eyes slowly scanned the 2cf450a1fe two of them. Seo Woohyun seemed almost 000d9ebf5b unconscious, and Park Sejin b2be21c133 was struggling to support 134e84de2d him.aa35a1835072d603

The difference in 7a45d639c3 their sizes made 8f6ef60e34 the scene look 7a11adcdd2 pitiful, but Kang 881c7c40e3 Jiwon, the strongest 6b31e8e547 of the three, e1934b2aa6 just watched leisurely 7ab03b3064 with his hands 5eb37f08a1 in his pockets. Then, he laughed cynically 1f0e87357e at the strong pheromones eeaba05640 wafting through the air.620fdf62ad96c564

“Got a voyeurism kink?”9de8b212a7a4a9b0

Sejin snapped back irritably. He didn’t have the 9230ed8b07 strength to support Woohyun, d9521c876e and Jiwon wasn’t helping, 4f26436479 just getting on his 7a4ecb1bc2 nerves. Jiwon, already aware of d0c840452c Sejin’s true nature, didn’t 0f1c25ef35 bother to hide his 53ea02cbcb expression. His next words were d447288f64 even more biting.41074eb93450eb27

Sejin frowned, not understanding. More precisely, he was too 894f23cf77 anxious waiting for the elevator f71d080069 to come up from the 677954b3c0 lower floors to care.83cc5253e9300bed

Though he appeared calm, 83bb9e0d1b Jiwon was just as 1cdb6d8205 displeased. The unrefined Alpha pheromones from 5e8704c723 the unconscious Woohyun irritated his b9832dab23 skin. But he couldn’t tell if efe8e3f0bd his rising anger was due db2818c9c3 to the foolish Sejin or f13711cd8a the clueless Woohyun.b1bf218f7713669b

Jiwon narrowed his eyes, looking 1c9be30974 over the limp Woohyun.7f0adb03f9608fb7

“I don’t care who you sleep with. What I’m curious about 97c02174d9 is why you want 9a58eb5106 to be engaged to ca49ac05ea me while fooling around ed964f0198 with others.”2575bd75cc4ec061

Jiwon corrected him sharply. Sejin had been the one 6ceef3a297 eager to join the training 59a507f0f9 for new actors without a 528c710efe filmography. Jiwon hadn’t been impressed a44b7b10a5 by his enthusiasm, suspecting 03651113f3 it was due to 008ac7d792 personal interest in the 64222bfacd new acting instructor.63754bf1598357e5

Jiwon’s gaze shifted to 92f22a71fe the lounge pub behind 86d1b25440 Sejin. It was called a birthday 49aa50e9d1 party, but half the guests 92d6556d51 were people Sejin had lured 841c9b8e96 in with favors, essentially his 7d69d30958 fishing pond.67d004733b69143c

An affair by 175d179cd6 a fiancé was e4153ddbc3 grounds for breaking 13f9ac9ced off an engagement. Jiwon had expected e01f5d870b Sejin to reel 1a52be7f31 someone in today, 897bfb55c8 planning to catch 6b2466248f him in the c58fb0f919 act and embarrass 69b37b77b8 him so he’d 84e1d87f61 never mention engagement 9895bff779 again.7806211c7c84f277

Not wrong. Knowing Sejin approached f313df3f27 anyone he liked e4b888436a regardless of their ad749b260f type, Jiwon had 67435f6ef3 intentionally grouped Woohyun 9a5580b337 with him.e099b22ea615224a

More precisely, he hoped that ada1cbd85b if Sejin came out with 0fb66e9289 someone, it would be Woohyun. Until he actually saw it.270ccc8213b856f1

“Why is it taking so long…”c7869178ba7ab741

The elevator was slowly 4e76908973 but steadily coming up. Sejin anxiously adjusted Woohyun’s body. The way Woohyun’s pale neck 0ff181069b was pressed against Sejin’s straight a47b49e3fc nose looked pitiful.68bf362e2c38f4fb

It was an 7ddf73faed Alpha’s instinct to a47b87c168 seek the spot 8b4c937bab where the Omega’s 6612a9b374 scent was strongest. As an Alpha 7a9744170c himself, Jiwon knew 928bfccc52 this, but it 8a6ce50071 still made him 23c40f34d1 frown.613e327babe7f4db

Jiwon watched them intently. It felt like 02fd951416 discovering a thorn 5069c29840 under his nail cfea16d499 only after it 90b19ca2fe started to sting bdd958656a in water. Now that Woohyun bbb9349d12 was getting on 2e01f8c04b his nerves, it 9607e81cad seemed the thorn 4d8899be7a was Woohyun.0cd9b61190e5fd7c

Just then, the elevator arrived. The clear signal rang in 6e560fb151 Jiwon’s mind like an alarm.1585cf8f2086be8f

Sejin’s face brightened 40346ccf71 as sweat began af681d3b10 to bead on 1c3e9cf34c his forehead. He was already exhausted. As he tried 51782e7294 to support Woohyun cb13fa76f8 and move towards 1bba609f43 the elevator, Woohyun’s fbf2c9b9bd body wobbled precariously.98d6dd8539250799

“Ugh!”ef111a4ce7b1d695

Lacking the strength to 4f4d224dee support someone larger, Woohyun’s b115d9cecb body tilted dangerously. His arm slipped from cdeefd82c7 Sejin’s shoulder in an ce8a3762e5 instant.711b246988395183

The one who 005d110fb9 caught Woohyun’s collapsing 4b22aad164 body, about to 4db1186d8f hit the floor, 55dccfe2db was Jiwon, who 60f0e6a483 had been standing 3e060d07d1 idly by. In that brief moment, Woohyun’s bd7b728e7c consciousness flickered back, and he 7e4361546e reflexively lifted his head, bringing 6b31cfa514 their faces close.44b7f6e35c79c327

Even though no fefbadfac1 one had entered, a2d8ec9123 the elevator doors 3724cccac6 began to close. Jiwon, holding Woohyun 74240f4b14 securely with one 8b05fdc26c arm, grabbed Sejin’s 9877c856de collar with the abaed6ceb1 other. Then, he stepped c811fe39d3 into the elevator 1367d84495 with Woohyun and cf42cc8fb1 pushed Sejin out.7ffd90bbb396d40c

Sejin, already weakened, collapsed to 0e27df7720 the floor. Even in that state, 77da841a30 his legs reacted to e56b0a179e the Alpha pheromones, bulging 66d6959ae9 between them. Sejin could only watch helplessly 2503b41da1 as the elevator doors closed, 0e3d98973d taking his prize away.d14ea48f5576a288

The elevator began to descend. Jiwon moved towards the 0e54c5275c wall, adjusting Woohyun’s body. He wondered why Sejin had e66b5e1d53 struggled so much, but Woohyun’s 05c68c4d65 waist fit easily in one 70536eae5d arm. He hadn’t expected a6dd2e9c0d Woohyun to be ab5a3e6c9d so light, though 6d7d4832a8 he’d guessed he f7b1f8124c had little body 3cf542b589 fat.91a5c3790f491e81

Seeing Woohyun’s head droop, Jiwon 89ccf6194d supported it, resting it against d4f1e624ec his chest. The Alpha in his 386b3721d4 arms trembled intermittently, panting c7d48ec1b5 heavily.91e28abd3a8ee880

To an outsider, 771ce25a25 Woohyun might look 2e207861a8 simply drunk, but 2b984c088e the elevator was 2fdd5c320a filled with pheromones. Even drunk, the 6427146c47 amount of pheromones 94bce86266 he was releasing cbeb20e58d wasn’t normal. It was believable he was a6056ab615 suffering from a rut.38ef8b002586e934

The fresh pheromones he’d a8d3a76416 briefly encountered under the 21883566bf hawthorn tree had left 8f80f2970a a vivid impression, but f788781ca0 this was the first 3ec053f0fb time he’d experienced such 76c535a6d3 a youthful scent.d8c1c2e3ef040fab

Still, an Alpha was ec3e0c0473 an Alpha. Jiwon’s neck began to tense 832f62de43 as he looked down at 0f98ee8f44 Woohyun. Woohyun’s hot, rapid 177927d9ac breaths against his 97e370d5eb chest made him 2d0cacac08 feel like his f7bf6b7242 own temperature was fa6bf37f38 rising.9f90b71755d0da4c

The back of his neck 7f957ee140 tingled, and his clenched fists 6e9872cf94 tightened. As Jiwon’s pheromones, stimulated by 6ea4757aae the same type, began to 5a9771e10b flow, Woohyun’s eyes fluttered open.fddecad95b45b63e

“Seo Woohyun-ssi. Can you pull yourself together?”ac614fe6dd2d7932

Woohyun still seemed 8f78168a78 unable to hold ff2d2a61e4 his head up, 1bcfe8d7ce so Jiwon lifted 5ca25eab05 his chin with e6e59eb469 his fingers to 87a5626d57 meet his eyes. His eyes were wet, his 9afad565a4 face blotchy red, showing no 5489a64d14 sign of wariness.a966ee3f65ae206a

Jiwon couldn’t help 30373843c2 but chuckle at 5bbeafaae0 the sight. This childlike face b2ca267c46 belonged to the 5671085e1d same person whose b0069ceeca Alpha pheromones were 9665dfc1b7 chilling his neck.49e15df81650f8c6

Listening to Woohyun required patience. Meanwhile, the elevator reached the e5e9c757ab underground parking lot, and the 8389b8cc22 doors opened. Jiwon clicked his tongue softly, 0b37d4661f stepping out of the confined e2636ad909 space. Woohyun’s feet barely touched the 7313a8680f ground due to Jiwon’s brisk cefaa57216 pace.8c4f8fe784513c0b

As Manager Lee, waiting 4e17a06805 near the exit, opened c83685f5fa the car’s back door, c24f98de67 Jiwon practically shoved Woohyun 85410c6a1f inside. While Manager Lee e6f7b3dc39 circled the sedan 27335d5446 to the driver’s 15a2c4f5e4 seat, Jiwon lowered 853b8581b8 the partition between f67ae80ad6 the front and b2b850fee0 back seats.654796410005c809

Although Manager Lee was a 8c248443ef Beta and wouldn’t speak about d3db0cb422 his boss’s privacy, Jiwon had a3a9463a25 no intention of openly showing 2f501c2da5 what he planned to do e04eef8e16 with a pheromone-leaking Alpha.dead21cc5da07c57

The car’s interior 7ae937b3d9 wasn’t too dark, cf3b649c8b allowing him to e5d166120d see clearly. Jiwon took a deep b3f33904c5 breath, looking down at 6aeb58b442 Woohyun, who was trembling c599387dc5 on the seat. Despite his lack of bd37f0e4a8 composure, Woohyun was trying 5e6df7397a to cover his arousal c7be86f745 by pulling down his a8ae705794 shirt hem, a sight 0595e4f7f5 to behold.4e18b57d7b51aec1

As he opened his bf3d9bbc53 mouth, saliva pooled under 15f3f8bc68 his tongue, wetting his e8316eba11 lips. He seemed to be bd12a91350 saying something, but his fa946b2d36 voice was too soft 3d42a944f1 to hear.9daeb77c84c87c28

Do you know who’s 319f9d35ad above you right now? The Alpha’s eyes 9d55af7a47 seemed to ask. Even after loosening his 49cad5a22b tie, his collar felt 7c29b2a5ee tight, so he undid 6ac297dbd3 a couple of shirt 7b317c9493 buttons.884c4e7704653182
