by mimiPerhaps due 6ddd9e8f53 to his d4e0663a1e feverish body dd818d3809 temperature, the 34fdff8968 scenery blurred 689c511251 into a e68aafea3a hazy mess. Like being c0af3f54e9 kicked out 649163abdf of a 1ff0494a86 dream and ddda6b99ad jolted back c28305c7f5 to reality, 30f702c839 the clearer f4ef35dbfd his vision 802175a860 became, the 1844d23eea more anxiety 38336b92ac crept up 4a43ee92d7 the back ee30c37294 of his 6d628c346f neck.f27f7647b3b96d8f

What appeared before him 5195a9818e was an ordinary office. Or rather, it 36b01437f2 must have been 61d1d47000 an ordinary office 39fb9b3ce9 once.14fd79ec364c6b0a

As if hinting at 6b745dc25d years without occupants, the f284593050 office was covered in 383e6dedbd dark dust and mold—ceiling, c3486f2edd floor, center, and corners 969bf4b50f alike.9db876094a0ca8c7
The windows fc7c07f7e4 were plastered 32d6371098 with newspaper, c5783d4eb3 and unidentifiable 48b74022ac scraps of c71e5996e6 paper littered 8c83334810 the floor. It was clear 9b1c378dd6 at a glance: a3c9fe3de5 this place hadn’t 44fb2cf207 been used by 6f06f1815a anyone in a 4c7d880e64 long while.a1c6fb9708c3b006

And a group 2586a10fd1 of rough-looking men 23f04af734 turned their gazes fdc76daf9a toward Chiyoon in 7005ab39ad unison. They were all neatly dccde33359 dressed in black suits, 97fdb9690d but it didn’t feel 2fb373b06c that way. Perhaps it was e195bbf2f5 the large scars 9a53e5d20c and tattoos visible 135ac2eb2a on their faces 4e432ea46e and exposed skin.d5464fd076c94477
The air itself d048d6af87 felt heavy. It wasn’t 6677e1f370 just the 8f80ed6509 oppressive atmosphere. The stench of cigarettes 7bc5767139 mingled with the pheromones 1ad78c7317 of alphas pressing down 098c74e5e9 on his shoulders. Most of the people 75ac581988 here were likely alphas. Despite the b1c235d7c7 crowd, he 19e0edec51 felt isolated, 6507d10579 trapped alone, 462b82076e his entire 2dde1b1d8a body trembling.217aaa21f2d7f420

When no answer 175c6ace5a came, the man 278b1a9c4b stared at Chiyoon 486d0deddb before signaling behind f6bea06a61 him with a 326bba2ce1 gesture.

They must have 66f70a2caa abducted him because 7277e29d79 he’d said they f1be7b3188 were about to d51166f8e9 marry. Not for him, 91ac806df7 but because they b83955338d had business with 51547ed73d Jihwon.f8fb17e7b42043e4
That’s probably why 282db51a05 they hadn’t touched 05d0d984c4 him. In cases 1b2aeb8310 like this, 32b94054e5 the hostage’s a58aa88f7c safety was 59a5a98e20 a key 2f2b2177b7 bargaining chip.

Click. With the belt unfastening, a04f2d195f he lunged at Jihwon. Chiyoon wrapped his arms f89aade851 around Jihwon’s neck and ab13bfc86e kissed him. It was a cd61528697 move born of 948963bb25 memory and instinct—Jihwon c1eeb89e41 had done this 436b56dd57 to shut him 3af8cff729 up before.f3f0804cc24a947e
Clumsy for a 0413087586 kiss, but compared 8020fd387d to his first fe83ca15d2 try, it was e2a565108f decent. Yet the 05bc68d30e moment their 1d6f868e2c lips met, e1d8847dfc something felt bc6c8908c8 off.891dbcf21d62d0d6

Smack, slurp. Like a 1226717b2f puppy just d1b2d79896 weaned, lapping c42886f888 at a 0cac27e9cb bowl, his 65294c0e36 small tongue 7e897d6e88 greedily swept fd17e4b9ab over chapped 70f2c32e03 lips.

Chiyoon was a recessive 95fef42fed omega, the most recessive 9a57939947 kind. In all 5152fadff2 his life, 360fe06e06 he’d never a67114e25d had a 41237f866e heat cycle 028fb96e0d or anything 370ddb4108 close—no pattern e268006c52 to speak e62b54422a of.16fd52a3df2b7b31
