Then he recalled what kind of person Kwon Ram was. He didn’t want to reveal his feelings. If he were such a person, wouldn’t he try to hide his emotions even more when jealousy was boiling inside?95ddaea5ffdd8bd6

With that thought, he impulsively turned on his phone. Kwon Ram’s profile still showed a picture of the sky near the theater they had visited together.b44464850c4fbe5f

[Sunbae, what are you doing?]

Without giving himself time to pause, he sent a message to Kwon Ram. Even if he wanted to hide his feelings, he couldn’t ignore a message, especially with the excuse of the report between them.f6e2f90d6d1a797e

A reply came after a few minutes. Cha Sooha quickly checked the message, ignoring Seo Yoonjin’s loud laughter.e55b64ae4b507702

[Just here]

[At home?]

[Yeah]

[Alone?]

[Yeah]

The message made Cha Sooha want to rush to Kwon Ram’s place. It seemed more appealing than this noisy place.2b509e80acf32bc0

[Wanna watch a movie later?]

The real-time messages stopped abruptly. He felt Ha Kangji glance at him, sensing his boredom. Ignoring Ha Kangji’s gaze, he anxiously awaited a reply.5afcf138901f779d

Cha Sooha 051ce88b13 stared at d8afd4f032 the two 7e7bfb90f6 words. The ice prince 22878ed90b was playing hard eadf9ea400 to get. He needed to melt d8d5c14ea2 the ice prince and 650543a204 get him into bed.43c8c56d0759eb3e

Cha Sooha burst through the door, looking around the messy apartment. Ha Kangji had left it in disarray. Images of Kwon Ram’s neat and tidy room flashed through his mind.c89571d1813b3874

It felt 2bb2c09e9d too shabby 920a98abd1 to host a7eef0d6a6 a prince. If it was shabby, 69d3c6ceb8 it should at least e54f891bb6 be clean, he thought. Cha Sooha 2dfdbcc220 kicked off 8ab7ff13bd his shoes 5a899e0a49 and hurriedly 5c85f695d6 started tidying d2ce7730a0 up.35ab597f5c556469

He had immediately sent his address to Kwon Ram’s message and added that he was out, suggesting they meet in an hour. Due to a delay in catching a taxi, he had less than 30 minutes before Kwon Ram arrived.9bcfe6b1c99568a0

To a rich kid, 2452376fd4 twenty thousand won might 5f30fff10a feel like two thousand. After thanking b7e166304c him again, 855bf806bd Cha Sooha ce95272376 quickly led 72d1fd4f95 Kwon Ram 6bd204f488 inside.fe9b87928eec9c76

Only then did he notice the TV, smaller than the one in Kwon Ram’s room. Realizing this made him feel embarrassed. What confidence did he have to invite Kwon Ram over? To Kwon Ram, his place must feel like a tiny room. Still, it was a two-room apartment on the first floor. The rent wasn’t cheap near the university.e73bb7733b57b849

It was an expensive place for him, but compared to Kwon Ram’s luxurious home, it felt embarrassing. Hiding his feelings, Cha Sooha spoke to Kwon Ram.9d9b95450a01e383

Strangely, Cha Sooha couldn’t sense pheromones. It was no different from when he was a beta. When he asked Ha Kangji, an alpha, he said he couldn’t feel his own pheromones.92f37bea187e68e6

At first, he thought it might just be a late manifestation. But thinking back, no one had ever mentioned pheromones to him. Maybe it wasn’t just that he couldn’t feel them; they might not exist at all.dc4363daa1f3fa28
