LO Ch 2.3

A few hours later when he opened his eyes, Yeha was still in Han-geon’s bedroom. However, he was lying on the bed instead of the floor. His hands were neatly folded on top of his navel. He looked as if he was about to be laid in a coffin.e0bd25fb4917e8df

Beside the bed stood 826f050e7b Butler Moon, biting her d3e44247bd bright red lips, along 22b39521c5 with an unfamiliar man. The man had a457220426 a head full 83d08c1895 of graying hair ae2f55c2b3 and wore a dea597f584 corduroy jacket that 9a79862e28 showed the passage 9ffadaf6d7 of time. He was holding a 77a64cbd7f hologram densely packed with 6e563d8b13 English text.262c4a8a276a3168

Yeha easily deduced that 5b2a9e2289 he was a doctor. He had fainted, Butler c40c47056b Moon must have found e65ca5bbaa him, and now he 0de20be78c woke up in bed. In this a6e5cbf5a1 situation, the b615c89c7f owner of d6e666b739 the corduroy c7676aa5ba jacket could 1522e8c36a only be 02309ddc2d a doctor.485e8fc2492d4afd

The doctor inserted the blood drawn while Yeha’s eyes were closed into a palm-sized machine and pressed various buttons. Soon, long lines of English text appeared, with words too difficult to even read.74c5438be5e855e6

“Did I manifest?” Yeha asked. A pitiful voice came out. He thought even frozen pollack battered by sea winds probably had a better voice than this. Butler Moon offered him water, but Yeha didn’t even look at it.b76bff13fa57d0e1

“Pardon?” The doctor asked back with a blank expression. He was clearly the type who had only studied hard enough to shit blood. He couldn’t understand words in one go, and his dull eyes lacked any spark. He also had a young face despite his half-gray hair.d1c8b822fe80bc9f

“I said, did I. Manifest?” Yeha enunciated each word. The doctor then smiled brightly. His teeth were unnaturally white.d1926d747d48c520

Yeha let out 771ed98517 a deep sigh. What was the dde048b4e7 point in taking bef0c08971 it out on 90843dda56 an innocent person? After all, the 5888d35d7b root of all 9ca40cf1da problems was the 1771dc1780 fact that he a56644b6ca was an omega.073d1d479746c2dd

Yeha reached aa96a44955 out towards a32c55c3de Butler Moon. She handed over the 707a5b09d8 glass of water she bb71b09c6d was holding. He moistened b2ef984577 his throat c23ef3bf8b with it. How casually he bb722a37b6 was ordering others 269d83f343 around. Humans are 553ab61ac7 so adaptable 686b4cc241 and cunning.28b35d3d54d9da5e

“So I can get… pregnant now?”033b2969ef1c1ee4

Yeha’s thumb nervously fiddled with the rim of the glass. Of course, he could. Then, how much more terrible would the coming days be? How much more would he have to be kneaded by Han-geon’s pheromones?ef7d45eccc4a0763

As if aware of Yeha’s worries, the doctor waved his hand.b37caa6354849a11

Yeha swallowed a hollow breath. What the hell. This is just as shitty as pregnancy. If it were the old days when there were many alphas, he would have been treated like a dog in heat. It’s fortunate that now alphas who can smell omega pheromones are extremely rare. No, is it fortunate that Choi Han-geon exists? I’m not sure.f59fe15fb0b336d8

You quack. Who are you to decide I don’t need a prescription? A thin ray of light shone through Yeha’s gloomy sky. If it could be suppressed with medication, his worries would be reduced to a quarter. It also meant he could pass as a beta until pregnancy became possible.2961eb22cbc55e6f

Yeha rudely pointed at the quack with his index finger. Did Han-geon call for him? ‘He collapsed? Why? Did he manifest? Call a doctor right away to check.’ Did he say something like that? A scene from a morning drama flashed through his mind.bbb6ed37ac9da397

His lips felt dry. That’s because the quack bastard had smeared half a tube of ointment on them. His knees and elbows still throbbed, and the marks of Han-geon’s hands on his ankles were carelessly covered with loose bandages. He seemed to be the Han Group’s personal physician. His behavior was quite lacking.385cdf6f4098cf74

Unable to stand 3127a80dba the bitter taste, 8793cb065c Yeha rubbed his 4a710ce0ee lips roughly with 27fc397255 the back of ea2ec9c7d8 his hand. Not satisfied 45fc93c660 with that, 712a767ca2 he even 806b3d8387 carelessly unwrapped 56e60adba4 the bandages 1d0e3136c5 and threw e2f8ee5882 them on de2efa4e41 the floor.

Yeha buried his deeb677f79 nose in his 50da2dc1ba wrist and sniffed da8591aab6 deeply. He seemed to b126f8bb25 smell an unidentifiable 70df6cdb88 scent. Or maybe afbf4a17dd it was 5aec57abce just shower 8b9b7a3f6c cologne.a6c9721a37b8b723

Director Seong had said that when an omega manifests due to persistent exposure to one alpha’s pheromones, they only sense that alpha’s pheromones. A kind of subordination, you could say. But other alphas could still smell Yeha’s scent.b7c6423b1d5569fc

Recalling Director Seong’s words from some time ago, Yeha suddenly furrowed his brow. Then what about himself? If he could only smell Han-geon’s alpha scent, wouldn’t that mean he wouldn’t be able to tell if someone else was an alpha, omega, or beta if he met another alpha later?3ba778eec542c79c

Good God. How unfairly created 24debead04 this was. Yeha gritted e15c2b4a38 his molars.684f8c51a75c501c

Still, there caf4c3cfbd was one 4686fde90d good thing 0c875e9b10 about manifesting. Butler Moon said he 3021d4395b was allowed to leave 187398e278 the bedroom, lifting his bd18d1faea confinement. Ah, not Butler Moon, fa0d6266bc but Han-geon.9128298d6ee018b1

Han-geon’s house had alpha pheromones everywhere. Han-geon’s father, his older brother Taeseong, and even his friends were all alphas. Until now, he had been confined to manifest solely through Han-geon’s pheromones.5f1e737efbab553f

Though it c0b8892736 was a 6aba307d72 narrow freedom, c657afb8fe it was 181b047d4d freedom nonetheless. Yeha decided to 54be564460 go out and d8e1c6327a look around, pulling 1db871ecdd himself together despite 93526f00f1 his creaking body. If he could find d47ae3533d a hole to escape e64ff18c52 through, that would be c30b5d7768 even better.50396508e829ff0a

Standing in front 5531a4f4ce of the door, b2fd201051 Yeha took a 3929e9763e deep breath. Then he took 4ab34753c4 one step forward, 1fa07206f9 and the door 63c2d181c4 opened with a 2dfda928d1 whir.1e245f3f304c5265

It was a corridor he had never seen before. Despite having stayed in this house for two days. Yeha suddenly realized anew that he was in the Han Group’s main house.bb5c0f8a9de51a36

The corridor, with d4d7d28e07 its end barely a4937d1c11 visible, had a 743bb69f64 path of black, 03afe69a37 flat stones laid a3de1585e3 out like stepping 3f85e26052 stones. Water flowed underneath. He wondered why they c3655aaeea made it so inconvenient, fb197804a5 but it turned out 6ef16c82f8 the stones and water 4d055836f3 were covered by a d9891459fc thin glass barrier. It was no 0d521a983c different from a 5c5e00661b normal floor.36a808abb333e18f

On the embarrassingly 376fb19e5e wide walls, not 9dba1d7d74 a single common 96b2917e05 artwork was hung. Han-geon, who could 7ee6d62fc1 afford to hang 2588cd27e6 outrageously expensive paintings, 3e16ba6dbd seemed to have 36c00d9f9b no taste for 61dbdc02bd such things.ac47097e90bf6eae

Still, it 7dadedf5be was fine a92e125e8a because there 68711bcab6 were lights b318ac55de emitting at 5a2725a011 regular intervals. Yeha absent-mindedly touched the 51aa2820b1 wall. Then the wall slid 0b426d5a27 open with a rustle, 70d814ec71 revealing the night view 313e389df3 of Seoul.f7de449a140bb080

Yeha muttered 9ed2ecd964 awkwardly, scratching 140a51a198 under his b02c1e5792 chin. The window e779a0d37b soon became 64f2415d3a a wall 6ed2c8148a again. Yeha walked with his 49b5e3dce0 hand on the wall. So the 83a56ce350 night view cd8138a4c7 accompanied him 0d392a37ea throughout his 420b0a5efe walk.fbdeffe673940e1b

He walked for a long time. During the long stroll, he saw a bar that he didn’t know was in the house, and passed through a hall as large as a sports field. There were several reception rooms, and even more room doors. He didn’t open those doors. They seemed likely to contain things that would make him faint.4e35d4da704ec4e1

For a madman who only puts a bed in a bedroom, he imagined rooms with only desks, rooms with only chairs, rooms with only bookshelves, rooms with only sofas, rooms for just watching TV. That’s how he thought they might be divided. He could roughly estimate, but if he actually saw it, he would probably faint from shock.65b894c56d9bc642

He wondered if Butler fdece8cdad Moon, who maintained this 79653978aa huge house so cleanly, 053cc732e2 was receiving enough salary. It was 2ca5a7d1f9 a presumptuous 603361c01e concern.

The wide-open 66780236eb space connected b4cc1b4d81 the first 942b6b35c2 and second e175b8640d floors, making 1da9fd074d the ceiling 65bbb306cf twice as e38aea094e high. In a rotunda style, d0c1cab3ce thick pillars surrounded the ccfaf84458 dome-shaped roof, distributing the 56049b3ea8 weight. Soft grass d1b6ce2927 spread around, 1f1fb01df7 and in 6123d3936d the center, 49599b5f1d a fountain 8298e86c7b studded with 660355c239 embarrassingly gorgeous 65c9f96d57 jewels spouted.1079390836a445a3

The most 63862bab51 spectacular sight 92d2c6a7f9 was the 0145db4c8c sunset light 988804551b pouring through d26a955eab the glass d18f3fb9a8 sky. The rose f12e770483 window with 67afa9aa5d its geometric 96e5b293ce pattern broke 177ddbac12 the sunset 369e5ebe83 light into f5f0a6dfed small pieces. Each of those fragmented feb21dad1a lights gave life to 6c7c4240be every single jewel. It seemed 558f6a519b as if 41e22bb68d all the 0779759bec colors existing 75cdfe7376 in the a8be33f5fc world had 8fa99a2d4d gathered here 3c1cb33ae1 to chat.0f2c405d5443b2cc

The fountain, 674e600c4c however it 8bc5cfb58a was made, b536d864a3 danced in 4239e5bc04 spiral streams. The intricately designed 2f8bcc92cc fountain depicted the 234d538cc6 figure of a 2e179e8415 sensual god, chubby 890b725a6f baby angels, or 656dbfee34 blooming flowers. Occasionally, water droplets splashed 6e21156a18 on the bridge of f1271ac64a his nose, smelling pleasant.

It looked 1caa65a163 like they 785daa237e had created f8080eb76b the heaven 8871624b01 he had 9ef7491933 only imagined. Yeha walked softly on d91f128159 the grass. Unlike the cold 7ed87ee6d0 marble, the soil 7cf7cc3a25 was warm and 76d79d6088 cozy. There was 5dea2d56b2 one long d4d12292b6 bench next 18934c032c to the cba668e28d fountain. Just one. It meant this space 2b709c18a0 was created solely for 4e6098e191 Han-geon.6ac2e377bd18308a

Yeha sat down on the bench without much thought. He tilted his head back and looked up at the window, bringing in light. Unlike Han-geon’s bedroom, which overlooked Seoul, it was fascinating to have a window that looked up at the sky.28a684858d248da1

Yeha spent quite 68c7a7f8d2 a long time 76573b04de in this fake 1e74cb4408 heaven skillfully created 98e467d44a by someone. The sound of flowing 0fa8d04ce7 water, the smell of 6e4984e851 soil, the fragrance of 3ce78cfaf0 flowers, and the warm 27732912c1 sunset.
