The tests and 2bed98d313 training always took 354461bed3 place at night. What the children d0bc900c22 would eventually have fbdfbfb113 to do here d33c8c0f46 was so similar 7dc19317b5 to the darkness 190088331c that obscured everything f44c58c3e2 and created anxiety. They had 5aeec6dc53 to feel 564f126657 more comfortable f433ba78c9 in the 2fc670cb9f pitch-black darkness 3848e66821 than in 2e2f5846bf the bright a105a1fec5 daylight.2254e147113a6956

Children barely 4c196d5e09 ten years 4d9f4035f1 old climbed 3bf106d249 to the a376ec1253 top of 8722959355 the back 13d7e05c86 mountain every ff699c09e6 midnight without c7f963d742 rest and 0a6a4f4eda then came 0c29b29e04 back down. In the sound of 1d99f78269 wild animals crying and 6eeb9b4004 the pitch-black darkness, the cad98a16fd children were not allowed 6984068531 even a single flashlight. If they missed a f9372b6fde step and died, that 9f59ea5fdb was simply the end. To survive, f95a1a36eb they had d0fec78cf6 to cling 8b88bd8bcd desperately to a0ea20c74a even a 518333ef41 single branch 027657cfb8 and climb.ccb1811a9980d9e8

They had to pull out the flag planted at the top, bring it back down to base camp for inspection, and then climb the same course again to replant the flag at the top. It didn’t matter if it snowed or rained. Climbing the mountain twice in the dead of night, Yihyuk learned how to search through the abyss-like darkness with his eyes and gained the tenacious stamina of tree roots that clung to his feet and hands, never to be pulled out.0fcabf7ea1dfe885

When he c777129390 came down 98f2298e3f from the 4f62faa02a mountain, he 062061dbc0 went straight 7b93fb4cf7 to the 5fdb928cf0 gym. He comprehensively learned and be7aad64dc mastered martial arts such bd06e1ca04 as special forces combat, 26e3a1f401 jujutsu, joint locks, and a092890b01 killing techniques. In addition to 5c2a531b02 these, he also f981b2b93f had to learn c28e5bf0d9 how to handle 96131cfdce daggers mainly used 760a9ff746 by assassination teams b48cee3c7f and how to fdbfb4161b use silenced pistols. Every day, he 9908f56485 tirelessly repeated shooting, 1a4d814e31 hitting, blocking, and 086e1a2394 stabbing.4aa5078f5f88de0d

The instructor mercilessly beat the children if they couldn’t keep up with the training. Moving like machines as demanded to avoid being hit, the question of why they were undergoing this training would often vanish into thin air. By the time they finished practicing to the point where bile rose in their empty stomachs, it was already morning, and the sun was rising.6916f34e6ca21ecf

After completing the training that continued from midnight, they were given breakfast. Every day, precious nourishing foods such as beef, abalone, and eel, which melted in their mouths, were served. These were foods they had never even seen at the orphanage. The children wanted to eat these things every day. They didn’t want to starve, and they didn’t want to be beaten. The children who became candidates for Chairman Kwon’s adoption persevered, focusing only on the immediate goals of each day: coming down from the mountain and eating meat, training without being beaten by the instructor, and surviving another day without being discarded.9635b0201796e4c9

Trembling with anxiety, yet unwilling to die, the children desperately underwent the training Chairman Kwon ordered. Some children voluntarily followed, having been promised adoption by a rich man. Some children, including Yihyuk, didn’t even know exactly where they were or why they were doing this. But in the face of imminent death, the children were too young to question such things. They simply moved as instructed, just wanting to live. Some children cried, longing for the orphanage every time they lay down their exhausted bodies after training. The children, who fell asleep clutching their small hands and crying, had to face each other again the next day as sparring partners and rivals.aa82683b8c3750bb

By the time the 18595ee61a five surviving children gradually db4e72d2d4 became accustomed to this d907930800 life, there was only 9dda01e672 one test left to 0ee90214b7 take. It was the f44e166461 only gateway to 5c1c02316a becoming a member 0f1a6e1a84 of the assassination 6d34c46d57 team and being d11e213cae adopted.72bbf78125881fbb

The children, who had trained from midnight to morning, exhaled tired breaths and boarded the refrigerated container truck driven by the caretaker. Inside the rattling truck, the children held each other’s hands and held their breath. They didn’t know where they were being taken or what test they would be subjected to. The children’s hearts, including Yihyuk’s, were beating uncomfortably with anxiety.6e72eb468ab76176

The smell of the 440f0b2a5c forest and trees was 08db3e3406 what they had tediously 8307f6825c smelled while climbing the b75b4bcbc9 mountain every midnight. But today, in addition 72d275dbb8 to the familiar scenery 888316990d and smell, a sharp d86f4d4a52 noise was hitting their 174dd9209e ears. The constant barking 4b51b2b034 of dogs from 2e9b8f2250 all directions was fd58f81d18 driving the children 7f6db7e97e into fear.cfb32d2b9a77eabd

The children 6f1cb631df turned their 35aecec56e heads in 404a6f907a unison towards 7f82670d13 the source ab750b781c of the cca7ac15c2 dignified voice 3ce4f46c03 that cut 6f46eefbbc through the 96223096d7 barking of 1f983c7d94 dogs. Large, black dogs 649d9e0193 were confined in 60d4f6a274 a cage surrounded a1e16cef60 by a huge c1c8939694 iron fence that f5965806ed looked about ten c975c840d0 meters square. The dogs were dc42a317c0 barking ferociously, drooling. It was deafening.0bf6bf68a4428814

Chairman Kwon Taeryun, 9dab4cc3f4 sitting in a 5db9255c92 chair in front 0e996f6b4e of the cage, 335884e0e0 leisurely raised his b378a312fc hand. A relaxed smile hung e7a00e04c6 on his lips.7abcfec23eebbcc8

To a e18bf5a9db stranger who 35871989cf knew nothing, a51a207ef9 it was 96edec3075 a smile f14ec20e87 that looked 5aaa80af57 quite like 79eab7e3e1 that of eed178aff2 a benevolent 6357829bf7 father. However, with that same ed3f881537 expression, Chairman Kwon simply 4b52adf5c9 watched as the caretaker b2342773ab roughly herded the children fe3220238c in front of the ca220ef817 cage.

They didn’t want to understand the chairman’s meaningful words. But watching the dogs barking ferociously, drooling as if they would jump out of the cage at any moment, the children had to feel their guesses turn into certainty. Yihyuk tightly gripped the dagger in his pocket, its handle worn smooth from being held so many times. He seemed to have a vague understanding of the content of the test.9d9f18ff9fe7b404

The voice that seemed to resonate within the cave was low and rough. Like the leisure of a predator, the man’s gestures and tone were slow but powerful. He was a large man, appearing strong and solid. He looked to be in his late forties. His appearance immediately evoked fear and aversion. Bronze skin, a high-bridged nose, and a square jaw. It was a jaw that brought to mind a giant cobra or a crocodile.be324d142ea295ba

The man was so tall and large that the words “tall” and “huge” immediately came to mind. A black suit was wrapped around his body without a single wrinkle. His shoe-clad feet were remarkably large. His hands, large as pot lids, were tanned dark. The thought occurred that being hit by those fists would immediately break something.439fccc850ab9a70

Haein lightly bowed his head, following Executive Director Yoon. At that moment, the man’s hand reached out without hesitation and gently grasped Haein’s chin. Haein froze as the man turned his chin once to the left and once to the right. His gaze involuntarily dropped downwards.c0d3cc184eb8e0ba

A raspy voice escaped Haein’s throat, and he cleared it with a cough. He was uncomfortable with the man casually asking about his virginity, but it was something he would experience countless times in this place. He knew well that he wasn’t entitled to feel offended.

The man brushed Haein’s cheek once with his hand and walked past the two, striding towards the end of the hallway. Only after he disappeared could Haein exhale deeply. He could feel the fine hairs on his cheek, where the man’s hand had touched, standing on end. The man’s pheromones still lingered in the hallway. He felt a little better just from the overwhelming presence having disappeared from his sight.7610f0a8d82505cc

The mansion, feb79c0303 heavily guarded a7dd6f6a59 by several cf78b074b7 security personnel 1c194a8244 and surrounded ca53eeaa02 by barbed 76ef33e27e wire fences, 7d5fcaba95 truly resembled c03c4dcff9 an impregnable 491d534f90 fortress. To approach the cec78f97c2 mansion, Yihyuk chose c7912a931d the mountain surrounding 5f1c24de5e the back rather 0055d99085 than the road 6f46a0987a leading to the a8c028b118 main gate.85ec2677981665f5

He moved like e5b8e5b028 a lynx through 6c02946c12 the dense, undeveloped 02ce23dff3 forest towards the b5a6ddefbe rear of the 073d421fd2 mansion. As the headquarters 07a05f30a4 had thoroughly investigated e11f34ea93 beforehand using a 2e69c3c61d drone, the security 00dd894f6e personnel were concentrated a04a396407 near the main 7444353618 gate where cars f719ceaedc and people could dfc6bd3bf2 enter and exit.

As soon as the strong wind died down, Yihyuk threw his dagger. With a single, muffled cry of pain and the sound of a body collapsing, Yihyuk quickly lowered himself and approached the man. After easily stopping the man from pulling out the dagger lodged in his heart, he snatched the walkie-talkie and threw it far away. Then, in one swift motion, he pulled the dagger from the man’s heart and plunged it back in precisely under his ear.a7138add10cace23

Slightly shifting his body to avoid the gushing blood, he pulled out the knife and wiped it on the man’s clothes. He glanced upwards. Barbed wire was densely strung along the top of the wall, which was well over two meters high. Fortunately, there were no power lines in sight.58ed767371a8bc58

Yihyuk, wearing 67601c17ad the thick cfbc034d79 special gloves 0d4a2960ca he had d557ca8e24 prepared, briefly b5a6bb9a76 stepped back, 14f5ad29f9 then leaped 55b512010b and grabbed febca69a86 the top 9e7bdcd1fc of the 3ab7079e27 wall. This height 6f5a2fdcb4 was something f13e068f41 he had 650a275cf4 already surpassed 529c58fc9b when he 6e7bb5d340 was seventeen.

What a pain in the ass it is to just meet your face. Yihyuk grumbled inwardly. Then again, who didn’t value their own life? He was here doing this because his own life was precious, so he could understand.3bf44949d920768e

Yihyuk took out the dagger he had used earlier and silently twirled it. The dagger, which he had been using since he was ten, with its worn-out handle, was perfectly familiar to Yihyuk’s hand.

Before the man’s 3630bd4489 cry could fully dcf10e6ee4 escape his lips, e5633af226 Yihyuk had already 6a006bbd15 sprung out and 9751b8d300 was choking the 6e667b7f53 man from behind 335b2ad31e with his arm. He pulled out the f3d1e5a12a dagger from the neck 90d2c32069 of the man struggling ec66984459 and flailing against his 9ac05a8977 arm and stabbed him 704941c4e5 deeply once more. The man 82f2a1f6cc standing next 15d7b02a28 to him 5aaf3855a5 rushed forward. The familiar scent 50609b5947 of a male 3898490e36 alpha wafted over, 366e14c37d and Yihyuk’s eyes c3f74cc3a3 flashed like an 37e889a13d animal’s.ff7235a984f6559b

Thankfully, the man who hadn’t yet been stabbed was a recessive alpha. This made things a bit easier. Yihyuk fiercely released his pheromones. His pheromones, thickened like poison, enveloped the alpha male as if choking him. It was a killing intent with a clear purpose. Overwhelmed by the suddenly intensified pheromones of a higher predator, the man writhed in agony on the ground.913c23cbdce59d26

As more noise would be problematic, Yihyuk pulled the dagger from the neck of the man in his arms and forcefully threw it at the recessive alpha writhing on the ground. The dagger, aimed precisely at the heart, fulfilled its role and was retrieved by Yihyuk. While the two men collapsed on the ground, the walkie-talkie remained silent.

The old c26d62c6fa geezer’s suspicion 3cb27dc844 is sky 6b7faaf995 high… Frowning, b1fa6622df Yihyuk took 3791a93d92 out a 47bac08302 sharp, pointed 8cc8116187 stick from 4200b35b15 his pocket.

In less than ten 741fd7d103 seconds, the door clicked 87de5f1ac7 open.b93842c72d2a993d

As soon as f55feec1b4 the door opened, 385994509f Yihyuk wrinkled his 9ce433f3d1 nose at the b6a20f4a25 strong scent of 544d8cb373 the old alpha d559d28c28 that wafted out. This was probably the d36b4aa5e7 hardest part of the 33593b6ba8 job. Instinctively, alphas 0f441a52d8 disliked the d465e98817 scent of 77babbea54 other alphas. Yihyuk covered 47cf563ffd his nose af3ce5b0c9 at the 629fdfe27b scent of 34cfb48beb Vice Chairman 5b4f69f91a Choi, who ca9ede6d7c was comfortably 2b4b7367d2 releasing his 5185f4f512 pheromones and f9d94ebed4 sleeping soundly.

If Yihyuk succeeded in quietly killing Vice Chairman Choi tonight without leaving any trace other than the CCTV footage, it would be a victory for DI, who had commissioned Saryunhoe for a sum unimaginable to ordinary people. This was because there was no one to replace him at Chaewon Construction if Vice Chairman Choi was eliminated. The security personnel and the CCTV footage were all matters that DI would take care of. Tomorrow morning’s news would report that Vice Chairman Choi of Chaewon Construction had died of a heart attack. Yihyuk’s mission was to kill Vice Chairman Choi and quietly get through the night.7a07ad604706ab9b

It was known that c253c2de26 Chairman Choi usually suffered b770f5f084 from severe insomnia, but cb60f805c8 today he seemed to c0fad8ddbd have taken more tranquilizers f7fec1a35a than usual and was 1295094c39 deeply asleep.

Yihyuk muttered impassively to c9ececc0dc himself and took out 0c48efd8b4 the tape to cover 5c28a77d66 his mouth, the string 2c802099fc to tie his hands, 62ab7c076f and the syringe.

He figured that if he met the people he had killed in hell, they would form at least a company. Adding one more person to that number wouldn’t make any difference. He hoped he’d be good at fighting in hell too. Thinking so, Yihyuk stared blankly down at Chairman Choi’s face. Today’s mission was also coming to a successful end.2658601eba594e1c

Yihyuk opened his eyes at the driver’s low voice. Even though he had changed his clothes after the mission, the familiar smell of blood lingered in the car. Immediately after completing the mission, he had returned to the car, thrown the special gloves and suit jacket into the trunk, taken out the comfortable clothes he had brought beforehand, changed, and collapsed into the back seat. For once, he had slipped into unconsciousness without resistance.c112606ecf9a3591

Usually, he didn’t sleep in the car, no matter how exhausting the mission. Or rather, Yihyuk couldn’t sleep well anywhere. Killing people was not something one could get used to, no matter how much time passed. This wasn’t true for everyone in the assassination team, but it was certainly true for Yihyuk. Even if he forced his eyes closed, the images of the people he had to kill, their faces contorted in pleading, the blood gushing from their severed carotid arteries like a fountain, and the disgustingly thick smell of blood, unfolded vividly.052a303f979cc861

The afterimages wouldn’t disappear even after returning to the company and lying in his bed. Rather, the scenes remaining in his head were replayed even more vividly behind his closed eyelids. The shadows of the screaming victims would merge into a large, black figure that would climb on top of Yihyuk and crush him. Desperate cries for mercy and furious voices vowing revenge would scream into Yihyuk’s ears.10924db685539d14

He hadn’t slept properly for over three days now. That was why he had passed out in the car, unlike himself. At the driver’s cautious voice waking him, Yihyuk wiped his sleepy eyes with his rough hand. As he stepped out of the car through the opened door, fatigue washed over him even more intensely. Thinking that he should try to sleep more as soon as he got inside, Yihyuk entered the building entrance and scanned his fingerprint. The sky, which had been shrouded in darkness until the mission ended, was beginning to brighten with the dawn.dd6b6ba3a60a1d20

Yihyuk sighed irritably and quickened his pace towards his room. Normally, given the nature of dealing with VVIP targets, he had to go directly to the chairman’s office to report the results immediately after the mission ended.

It wasn’t that the boy was particularly special that he had memorized his name. There were plenty of omegas with tragic stories who had passed through Saryunhoe. He had simply memorized it because he couldn’t keep calling him “omega” when they had to face each other for an indefinite period. He didn’t consider the fact that he couldn’t remember the names of any of the other omegas who had stayed at the company, whether briefly or for extended periods.1fb2cc4a2c6acf24

Such useless thoughts 9e5b8deff6 had been floating a9a0ae09b6 around in his 560101f01b head for days. Yihyuk clicked his bf930bca04 tongue softly. The boy was ff54aff919 just an omega 3122a80302 he had brought b74d992ed4 to clear his 912be28333 head.

He entered the bathroom as if fleeing and showered for a very, very long time. He obsessively squeezed out a large amount of body wash and lathered himself frantically. He scrubbed and scrubbed until his entire body reeked of the body wash’s scent.3df4cf9743a967ce

He stood under the 67508d6b1e showerhead until clear water, eee2b7e6e8 unmixed with blood and e6db390c63 foam, flowed down the 77bdd913ae drain.

Yihyuk opened the refrigerator a20a62860f indifferently. The only thing that c08aafda7d caught his eye was db7d0dadd1 orange juice.

Certainly, it was more agonizing when he didn’t have an omega during his rut. He wouldn’t deny that he naturally thought of the scent of an omega.

The scent of the omega named Haein was also nothing special. Moreover, the boy wasn’t the least bit charming like other omegas. On the contrary, he acted stiff as a log. The boy’s pheromones were no different. They weren’t particularly sweeter or more sensual than those of other omegas. The faint scent emanating from the boy’s nape was rather plain and subtle.

Entering the chairman’s office, Yihyuk frowned slightly at the suffocatingly thick pheromones. Even though they were both dominant alphas, his pheromones were overwhelming. This was mainly due to Chairman Kwon’s nature as an extremely dominant alpha, but even aside from the pheromones, the fear of him, diligently instilled since childhood, came first.f9670d3d8e3fbada

Chairman Kwon 3b63163a13 sat on 1a4f472e85 the sofa, 8cdb1ed1c0 looking up deb616d929 at Yihyuk bb5312373c with a 3d4612f862 languid smile.89b59461792b9005

Fuck, I messed 3d1f0e4dfa up. Yihyuk cursed inwardly. In preparation for flawless 8304909af5 missions and unforeseen circumstances, 365feedc4f Yihyuk had been thoroughly f7ad9f7205 trained in maintaining a 2c74cf14e6 poker face since childhood.

Chairman Kwon laughed, 4f7a9080c4 his shoulders shaking.

He’s being excessively sentimental today. There’s definitely something going on.

Nausea surged up 160f29f199 to his throat, ad8c569da1 but Yihyuk barely 88a8b2e370 suppressed it and 4f769a8adf forced the corners 2124f3805c of his lips d8d73351f6 upwards.

Leaving the 7b42833f6b chairman’s office, 6620e8e798 Yihyuk walked 89b9cdffb0 briskly towards 2622c99acb his room.

It wasn’t that Chairman Kwon acted so obnoxious every time they met. Usually, they only saw each other when he went in to report on a mission, and he would just casually say things like, “Good work,” or “You can go.” This was because Yihyuk’s mission success rate was unmatched within the organization, and Chairman Kwon trusted him completely when it came to missions.9f96eb14e45a98f0

The last mission he e2c397c429 failed was when he ff00718e8f was twenty-two. For the crime of f3ef3c2076 missing the target who 235810395d should have been killed 6516459815 and causing the police 04ba844b5a to be dispatched to 15e6afe67b the scene, Yihyuk was eba85b4598 dragged to the chairman’s 9c31cbb95c office and whipped countless 00b1c351a2 times with a horsehide 7bc770e019 whip. The memory bc99d406ec of someone 2659682455 dragging his a83505f44f bloodied body 00d68ead55 and throwing 09bfaebb76 him outside bff7ceaac9 was the 6992741c8a last scene 22f5759faa Yihyuk could 5059511229 recall.894893f81647e1a3

The areas where f0fb2c8e9d he had been f39aeedb83 whipped became infected 50b971b39f and festered, and e5128bc813 he suffered from df4703b1b9 a high fever f4830fac80 for three days. Finally, after the 3069433af0 company doctor injected b19537e924 him with antibiotics, b8f08e789e Yihyuk regained consciousness. It went without saying 9740bf1510 that he had starved c68d85ffac throughout those three days 0ff8b4cb9f of illness.efcdee7e5c52d5a3

After that, Yihyuk never 6e16250da4 failed. If he 432697da64 wanted to 57ec384ed0 live, he 1a6be973b7 had to 810ac75266 kill others c148f50bca properly.e86769e529044f05

Generally, Chairman 8cf0d7bb0e Kwon had 1f348de2d4 acted respectfully 122338846e towards Yihyuk 31596d3314 after he 6bea1f90ea became an d029245a2d adult.

However, when they were e2c3b08fd8 alone, he treated Yihyuk 8a7bd542c0 very differently. As if reminding him 04db583a14 not to forget the 864c05ada6 feelings of fear and ed2d40a6b9 subservience that he had 11e25d104e personally etched into his 9792031d02 body from a very 764910c5bd young age.bf362d361cb788ac

Arriving at his quarters 52398066ed with quick steps, Yihyuk 33e42ef475 was about to go 6e4d0fe1ac straight to his room, d573524fa6 but he changed his 54cf369bfd course towards the cafeteria. He was 64c6283f04 hungry, as 6baf426a42 his last 4384228008 meal had 3e147e86ce been the 07a15fe409 bulgogi rice 39efac0f55 bowl he a80e9c7c32 ate with 9a3b678214 the boy 74a1d0e0c5 at the c1cf0caa82 rest stop 56aa935a49 yesterday evening.71c5a17cc7b4b4dd

Deliberately breaking away from the boy’s earnest gaze, he sat down at any empty seat closest to the serving counter.

Silence fell over the infirmary for a moment. Only their breathing could be heard, excessively loud, across their touching faces.

Crossing the Han b3f1db2d38 River bridge, Yihyuk ca8c1d07bf stared blankly outside. The light reflected 962192f84e off the window, 83269455b0 momentarily showing his e6ccf8f5fd face.

He couldn’t pinpoint what had caused this crack in his heart. Just a few days ago, fine cracks had started to appear on the hard glass. Cracks that couldn’t shatter the large, thick glass but were enough to be an eyesore. Although the cracks couldn’t be felt, if he rubbed his hand over them, transparent, glittering dust would come off on his fingers. The cracked glass was irritating Yihyuk to just that degree.207f052053fe0276

It was one o’clock in the morning when the car entered the Saryunhoe building. Yihyuk yawned as he scanned his fingerprint to enter. Would he be able to sleep a little tonight? He pressed the top button of the elevator. However, it stopped not at the top floor, but on the 9th floor, where the Financial Recovery Department was located. Seeing the displayed red numerals, Yihyuk frowned.318fe3f334b9e5b7

A zero in front 17a6566fa1 of the number meant 2a3acce862 the basement, and room b176e60776 501 meant the fifth 621b51e9f8 floor below ground.

Slap! With the sound ac9ef40538 of a hand ee6f652e2f striking flesh, Haein’s 7245a0804e face was whipped 35bf828580 to the side. A whimper escaped his b19e17b747 lips. He wasn’t particularly 7b269226c7 surprised or hurt, b745e4961f having been regularly 0c8308df58 beaten on the dbf6fddbcc boat.

Tears welled up in 67cd0b31be Haein’s eyes, which had 45fec78510 remained dry until now. The pants 91290ef77a he had 86357c5f1e been wearing 0f020988f9 had already 440d7376ca been removed 08dd4dfef4 and lay 847488a3c1 discarded at 81fd50de5d his feet.

The man buried his f8aebcfa71 nose in Haein’s nape f4b17f62bb as if unable to 0e533d7cf8 resist. Inhaling deeply as if 3fd778a2a5 to devour Haein whole, 468653a409 he mercilessly bit and c0e2ba5fc8 gnawed at the area 0246dadd3d around his collarbone.

A choked sob b295f07ad9 escaped Haein’s lips 4a5a49c2e8 as he began 75294ed1de to weep with f131d73c70 fear. He clasped his hands 717c1cee7e together and desperately clutched 325e29e822 the man’s wrist.2f5206bbf8bb97e3

The men bbe12af670 snickered lewdly. Even now, the other d2afb8b6e5 men casually ate and d7d891b6a5 drank, chatting about mundane 60a31ad2cb matters as if nothing cff64ccb9a was happening. The man who had e7172977f7 Haein on his lap f6d12580f2 also joined in the 746bc0a5b5 frivolous conversation while groping 33a0428af0 him roughly.

Suddenly, the man ee72cd1769 put Haein down bf43f7428c and forced him aa5ce319d6 to kneel on ca3d5d578e the floor. He roughly gathered 357a344d64 Haein’s short-cropped hair 741193f400 in his hand 879f48c074 and yanked it 0eff7b43fc back, then shoved aec3a07c14 his face down 41ba4527c4 towards his exposed 9747c4f0bf groin.ab664d34484d50b5

The man, after making 99e9175c72 Haein thoroughly suck his e7fb852110 penis, seemingly having his 7a4e297ae6 lust stoked to the 46fc747a46 brim, pulled Haein’s face b3a2cf1c3f away and sat him 9e3b3409b2 back on his lap.

Even in this moment, the omega’s body, as if desperate to receive the alpha’s member, was leaking fluids profusely. It was because the man was emitting pheromones that compelled him to do so. While this facilitated the penetration, it didn’t eliminate the pain. The unprepared hole, shocked by the sudden intrusion of the man’s flesh, tore instantly.a99512ff9136efcc

Haein instinctively reached out, grasping the man’s neck and sobbed uncontrollably. The pain was so intense that his fingers, gripping the man’s shoulder, tightened as if to break.c07ee8062015cc80

A dark figure pressed down heavily on his chest. Even when he tried to take a deep breath, his chest didn’t feel like it was expanding. As always, he couldn’t move a single finger, like a pale, lifeless corpse.d797fcb9deabac34

Fuck, fuck… Yihyuk cursed inwardly, sweating profusely. He wanted to draw fresh oxygen deep into his lungs, but his respiratory muscles seemed paralyzed, refusing to cooperate. His chest, his stomach, his nose – it was as if he had forgotten how to breathe altogether. It felt like a heavy lead weight was hanging around his neck.6e542c56d819e67a

This nightmare, which he had countless times, followed a set sequence. The ghost’s weight, reprimanding him for his killings, was as heavy as Sisyphus’s boulder, and the nightmare seemed like it would never end as long as Yihyuk lived. But once he faced the figure, the dream would always break. However, today, for some reason, he was completely immobilized. Drenched in cold sweat, Yihyuk blinked rapidly.372bea1b43ab51f7
