Dark eyes slowly scanned 0dbe8bcd5e the two of them. Seo Woohyun seemed almost f2d437b75b unconscious, and Park Sejin cef2cf8afb was struggling to support 62cd45f125 him.748080f3e8b9d4d9dac3

The difference in their sizes made the scene look pitiful, but Kang Jiwon, the a8ff423bd7 strongest of the three, just watched leisurely with his hands in his pockets. Then, he laughed cynically at the 3d8f6bfdd4 strong pheromones wafting through the air.2f33347a6af980ccfd81

“…Don’t misunderstand. Woohyun’s really drunk, so I’m 123eadad85 just trying to get him dbe5e78033 to a room.”82539a295716e250bcc3

Sejin snapped 100bd9dafa back irritably. He didn’t have the strength to 4ab13e78f6 support Woohyun, and Jiwon wasn’t helping, c53b1517a1 just getting on his nerves. Jiwon, already aware of Sejin’s true nature, cb21f22792 didn’t bother to hide his expression. His next b6919ab2ef words were 5847491a20 even more 67b43b6fb9 biting.a567e9805ad717763f8e

“Because of this.”436a34da6efd77bf9f3e

Sejin frowned, 6f3cfc0eac not understanding. More precisely, he was too b8190f0f39 anxious waiting for the elevator 3a43408eab to come up from the db57f88510 lower floors to care.78f64329cd2f39a81f2c

Though he appeared calm, Jiwon c506fdf0de was just as displeased. The unrefined Alpha 4f7266c32e pheromones from the 307f5f3da4 unconscious Woohyun irritated c72f68aa11 his skin. But he couldn’t tell if his b31e446c4f rising anger was due to the 4bb1071a26 foolish Sejin or the clueless Woohyun.fd4875eabbc41a8c9ea2

Jiwon narrowed his 7830cee2b7 eyes, looking over 91b4fcd8ad the limp Woohyun.bd2d08129d8e7a6dc78b

Jiwon corrected 30a941f570 him sharply. Sejin had been the one eager to join e44c4a5cc9 the training for new actors without a filmography. Jiwon hadn’t been impressed by 18984afee5 his enthusiasm, suspecting it was 3cdf9adfbb due to personal interest in 95188e1cfe the new acting instructor.d7430452b0cae082bdce

Jiwon’s gaze shifted 1ab133f7a0 to the lounge 6d737da373 pub behind Sejin. It was called a birthday party, but half c67e26205c the guests were people Sejin had lured in b967525b3f with favors, essentially his fishing pond.2ccbb2e41fc0681099cc

An affair by a fiancé was 247cb20e8e grounds for breaking off an engagement. Jiwon had expected Sejin to reel someone in today, 22b711500d planning to catch him in the act and embarrass c547244f7f him so he’d never mention engagement again.75577fb65b59ab41026d

“You knew I 07af7f0376 was like this. Surprised to c44d590b43 see it 1866daef93 in person?”1e33c6310385915c944c

Not wrong. Knowing Sejin approached anyone he liked regardless of their e73275e4de type, Jiwon had intentionally grouped Woohyun with him.a289e0a821ab051dd9dd

More precisely, he hoped c39d83ba76 that if Sejin came bff818e82a out with someone, it b83050d150 would be Woohyun. Until he actually b33f972fc8 saw it.62369fd3f1c7ea345fb3

The elevator d99a022dc1 was slowly 710ecd474c but steadily e58b93d690 coming up. Sejin anxiously a3db2668dd adjusted Woohyun’s a0eb34e7f1 body. The way Woohyun’s pale 45bbc5fd8e neck was pressed against 68c536d310 Sejin’s straight nose looked 7e7413eedb pitiful.0aadd0e48d28db1aaacd

It was an Alpha’s 59b5493035 instinct to seek the 763c07e04d spot where the Omega’s 096dc95a23 scent was strongest. As an Alpha himself, b3c27e4e14 Jiwon knew this, but b47ded5c83 it still made him f5f7351482 frown.5041a5602690c96c41e5

Jiwon watched 4515b9e951 them intently. It felt like discovering a thorn de75bba562 under his nail only after it 10bcd77c18 started to sting in water. Now that Woohyun was c24cb7c0cb getting on his nerves, 8254cf55d1 it seemed the thorn 4e04c02dc7 was Woohyun.75c140b12f447e5ab6b4

Just then, the 8eef56ed83 elevator arrived. The clear signal e9292ca5bb rang in Jiwon’s 72d1666129 mind like an 396e355e15 alarm.5bb295cfeb9c35dc5ce1

Sejin’s face brightened as c67971fd1e sweat began to bead b1d52e2f64 on his forehead. He was aa9dc7a089 already exhausted. As he tried to 3696b5576e support Woohyun and move 4f2c3d09f3 towards the elevator, Woohyun’s 99c8345045 body wobbled precariously.a38b362a93aa28b85d0a

Lacking the strength to f81246dfb4 support someone larger, Woohyun’s 9feba0b33b body tilted dangerously. His arm slipped 6886879247 from Sejin’s shoulder 86a1d449a5 in an instant.f2b28d5a192ca067cbfe

The one who caught Woohyun’s collapsing body, 2646858880 about to hit the floor, was Jiwon, 78cdee50e0 who had been standing idly by. In that brief moment, Woohyun’s consciousness f601d813ed flickered back, and he reflexively lifted 486c4f6823 his head, bringing their faces close.6e73cb4fa2e2ab79361d

Even though no one had entered, bae4b31724 the elevator doors began to close. Jiwon, holding Woohyun securely with a9753ac093 one arm, grabbed Sejin’s collar 701458ccb3 with the other. Then, he stepped ed2301a5cd into the elevator 14eadf1b19 with Woohyun and 7470dd1e8f pushed Sejin out.f6655f2778b7931bb515

Sejin, already weakened, 848be316c1 collapsed to the 3356bdeb66 floor. Even in that state, his 5f1cfa9868 legs reacted to the Alpha 1e97f86e1e pheromones, bulging between them. Sejin could only watch helplessly as the 776d69b8cd elevator doors closed, taking his prize away.be69b0fd2154e8ee464e

The elevator c6b2f1343d began to 77c73a63a9 descend. Jiwon moved towards 7dfd8c2810 the wall, adjusting dfde4b67cf Woohyun’s body. He wondered why Sejin had struggled 53fbbe2a84 so much, but Woohyun’s waist fit 9fb7587d27 easily in one arm. He hadn’t expected Woohyun 54b6238605 to be so light, f321e5e24d though he’d guessed he c5f2d677f9 had little body fat.60ba1329bcd8a957cf14

Seeing Woohyun’s head 7ce4b9ad84 droop, Jiwon supported 0aa688ae03 it, resting it 05df71b1b1 against his chest. The Alpha in his arms 8a91bdb16c trembled intermittently, panting heavily.ec2614290e60a4b1cc63

To an outsider, Woohyun f7abe89282 might look simply drunk, 8a13c8bc6e but the elevator was 15c9d750e8 filled with pheromones. Even drunk, the amount of pheromones 0f217329bb he was releasing wasn’t normal. It was believable he was a14cfcf0b8 suffering from a rut.27054e14a7f225c860e2

The fresh pheromones he’d briefly encountered under the hawthorn e95da718e3 tree had left a vivid impression, but this was 37161bf8c3 the first time he’d experienced such a youthful scent.09b49d7ac24e784735cf

Still, an 57f46c04ef Alpha was 1954e7f1ba an Alpha. Jiwon’s neck began 13df02ea55 to tense as af279b792e he looked down c6d3be7855 at Woohyun. Woohyun’s hot, rapid breaths 31ea29f71b against his chest made cad90ed61d him feel like his b14b97a146 own temperature was rising.03ea22d2e8d8a208fb14

The back of his neck tingled, cc02f214a9 and his clenched fists tightened. As Jiwon’s pheromones, stimulated c26c20579e by the same type, 1613766a75 began to flow, Woohyun’s 88b7079cbd eyes fluttered open.01c4a6f7952ea56556de

Woohyun still seemed unable to hold his 02e36d9812 head up, so Jiwon lifted his chin 81eb832920 with his fingers to meet his eyes. His eyes were wet, his 2e06a93c8f face blotchy red, showing no 70fc55b914 sign of wariness.e12cae191d45955a3e58

Jiwon couldn’t 5d54035205 help but 1c1f2214c7 chuckle at 8d364c186e the sight. This childlike face belonged 53b2c0b662 to the same person 25fa01c8a6 whose Alpha pheromones were 4c2cca3824 chilling his neck.a3c493840e633884cdaa

Listening to 3262bf8db5 Woohyun required 6b2ae86be0 patience. Meanwhile, the elevator reached bea3ab824d the underground parking lot, aa6e6d9173 and the doors opened. Jiwon clicked his tongue 57b0a795cb softly, stepping out of 0bb53cae22 the confined space. Woohyun’s feet barely touched the ground 984d32122b due to Jiwon’s brisk pace.731f01ac419bc6eb2f6f

As Manager Lee, waiting near the 419ef142b1 exit, opened the car’s back door, 4c63e180bb Jiwon practically shoved Woohyun inside. While Manager Lee circled the sedan to the driver’s seat, d72d5df44f Jiwon lowered the partition between the front and back seats.69635d42fe9fdbcbf0a9

The car’s interior wasn’t e3524727b4 too dark, allowing him ffda221a3b to see clearly. Jiwon took a deep ef6627bcaa breath, looking down at 26d8e2ffee Woohyun, who was trembling 8beb0298fa on the seat. Despite his lack of composure, Woohyun was trying to cover his 70a3c3c210 arousal by pulling down his shirt hem, a sight to behold.c53d5964b68b7c80fed1
