ODKO | Chapter 30

Suddenly, Jack’s nose felt itchy. His ears were itchy too. He couldn’t decide whether to sneeze or scratch his unbearably itchy ears, so he took short breaths. The sneeze that had reached the bridge of his nose subsided, leaving an uncomfortable sensation. Ugh, feeling unresolved and annoyed, Jack let out a low groan and scratched his ears instead.9a3003dd1552dd44

Was someone badmouthing him? No matter how much he scratched, his ears didn’t feel any better. Ugh, Jack swallowed the groans that kept coming.5f67306ecffbc359

“Someone must be cursing you out pretty thoroughly.”8d2d135434fd4399

Jack blinked blankly, not understanding what Cayenne meant. Cayenne gathered a bundle of documents, twisting his lips mischievously. It was clear he was thinking, “Serves you right.” Jack squinted his eyes.4b319d1f405a2ad9

“Isn’t it obvious? Half of it is probably you cursing me, and the other half is the nobles’ envy and jealousy.”c8a868407f5a81a0

In response to Jack’s grumpy protest, Cayenne poked his head out like a meerkat. Meeting Jack’s eyes, he snorted as if it was ridiculous.50f9b2c529c7dfe1

Jack nodded, acknowledging the reasonable point. Even though it was a quick agreement that could be unpleasant, Cayenne shrugged confidently, saying, “Of course.”a867f99a4c69b158

“Sorry. I’ll correct it. I haven’t submitted it because I have nowhere to go even if I leave the dormitory.”3864cbee887e235b

Realizing that a stupid question was worse than not asking at all, Jack quickly corrected his answer. But Cayenne’s furrowed brow didn’t relax.1d11a032bd582e86

“My hometown is a rural area in the south, and it takes five days just to travel back and forth. It’s a waste of time to go there just to stay for three or four days…, and the house is small and uncomfortable. The dormitory is much more convenient.”c6146850b908d23e

“……”2a95faecef971ddb

Jack smiled innocently. Holding the bundle of documents in his hand, Cayenne had an unreadable expression. Although it was a frown, there was no sign of displeasure, and Jack couldn’t understand what emotion it contained.127c984fee8a4650

It was a look he’d never seen before, as if something had caught him off guard or as if he were looking at a creature from another world. He didn’t think he’d made a mistake, so what was the problem? Overwhelmed by confusion, Jack forced a smile and tilted his head.ef916d0aab6cbbf8

Cayenne, clutching the bundle 23e8ee6191 of documents with both 5136ccefa7 hands, suddenly muttered a 7c7f86f9fe curse. Jack still had 967719fcc8 a puzzled smile, bf7c278f41 blinking dumbly. For some 48ad68d3bc reason unknown 4c140ed12f to Jack, 30ec950b10 Cayenne was 8d650ddb7f filled with 793c4f5120 some sort a49f8009c6 of dissatisfaction 0e1213ebaf and fell 8ab79c9b93 into silent a12238886f contemplation.5fcdb332f338b826

“Is that okay?”9f0445625cbc4821

It was an unexpected proposal. Jack’s eyes widened. He wondered if he’d ever heard such an exciting offer in his life, but Cayenne still had a complicated expression as he watched Jack’s noticeably brightening face.11461b03b6819cbf

Jack, oblivious, laughed heartily. The flush that had been rising to his face quickly receded like a tide at those words. Damn it… Cayenne growled like a beast, but Jack, who had lost all fear, was smiling as if he found even that cute.fa8eb7564542990c

What the hell, seriously, what the hell. No matter how much he threatened, intimidated, pleaded, or even threw a fit in front of him, Jack Carlson’s arrogant attitude remained unshaken, and Cayenne realized something was going wrong. He couldn’t pinpoint where it all went wrong.702e8898ea2ed22f

Should he have b240c187cc just cut his cf9449b275 neck last time? Or was it a8c1a65334 a mistake to 7bf76c4a9e include him in ea98534b4a the vacation because 2e9b13175d he felt sorry fb3de04b44 for his situation, ee2febc36b having nowhere to 73ad2b71d0 go despite being a846145760 given a fifteen-day d4803c6629 vacation? Cayenne bit his lips 86c916c7f9 tightly and fell into cb9fcbcff3 serious contemplation.

Jack, who 66ef93fad8 had been 3cabaabeb6 smiling happily, 5270050755 looked shocked cc62fb26c2 as if 394a271030 he had f8e17c2662 heard a 74c8a89b2b bolt from 5e3293799f the blue. He should e847cf0088 have stopped c0d39a1ad8 climbing up.

As soon 7e26f101a2 as their 28af3bff43 eyes met, 1034a3ccb7 Jack clasped 59654e0067 his hands 68522d212c tightly with 33293cc016 a determined 740cef8429 expression, pleading, 247c5e1f83 and Cayenne 9b53c5ccf3 let out dee80aa24a another disgruntled 0bb9201015 sound.88f3d8bde494fc04

But contrary to his words, Cayenne’s gaze naturally drifted to Jack’s clasped hands. The hands, firmly held, were large. Cayenne already knew how relaxing it was when those hands massaged him.ad0b14e84ac662b5

Despite the relentless threats, the angle of climbing up was a bit concerning, but even considering everything, Jack’s massage was excellent enough to be worth contemplating. Moreover, the fact that Jack already knew he was an Omega and about the side effects of the stabilizer meant there was nothing to hide in front of him, which was undeniably comfortable.f194c140e7cd3562

Seeing Jack, whose shoulders drooped like a drenched puppy and eyes wide open, Cayenne couldn’t bring himself to say anything harsh. What on earth is this? Cayenne pondered the seriously wrong situation with various frustrating questions. He was quick-witted, so he couldn’t just blame him for climbing up.5c724576abd5fbc3

With a face that made him want to tear his hair out, Cayenne muttered in resignation, and Jack’s eyes sparkled.f1c41250c8223065
