“Is it good?”9c9bbacb0eea762a

Woohyun nodded several times, genuinely. It seemed like the alcohol e1d4a2aa03 content was low since he 9b670f5134 could barely taste it.95aff0629c16bf42

Woohyun never refused drinks af14f761c4 bought by others, though 5575040171 he was too frugal dc9fba4f9d to buy them himself. He was more interested in 178da9fc2e snacks than drinks that just 9254c305f3 filled his stomach.7c8553e3d0bda46b

Hanging out with dd356a8500 the guys at e555d426fa the labor office 95a81fef5c had built up 0e0d5c11b6 his tolerance.

His eyes sparkled 6d0a0ff2d6 with transparency, revealing 58830e244e his thoughts, making 4a2cf18fa2 Park Sejin chuckle.967eb5827b110c58

He whispered to f4a79e6929 a nearby waiter 36a18561bb to order a 50f3a3fd28 few more cocktails. While waiting, he watched Woohyun 714e9ea084 eat cake. Just using a fork to a5cd693a5e take big bites was somehow 34696409b3 fascinating. Despite his playful fork movements, a75d79f9e5 he chewed with a calm 6c03d385b4 and neat demeanor.5804cf5d234f5abc

His prominent jawline, protruding 4abe5eff80 Adam’s apple, broad shoulders, 679369e5d3 and arms were those 1ca9f0dee5 of a male Alpha, a61c7604ef yet his delicate features 60489fc2f7 gave him a youthful e039395449 vibe, a unique trait dba2a962b0 of Seo Woohyun.e8e6296c69a28623

At first, he thought Woohyun was a Beta, and even if he were an Omega like him, it wouldn’t have mattered. But knowing he was an Alpha made him want him more. He seemed shy and wary, but surprisingly, he was kind and had a weakness for food…f7f209b05a45050c

Since he’d fed him before, 1fb2773ec6 it was his turn now. Sejin hoped Woohyun d9fb720389 would get drunk a8e9263a63 quickly, hiding his 6d61bd7b5a sly intentions behind 305cca6a45 a gentle smile 8b617fe8d7 as he handed 595c52a159 over a new 56688c95a5 drink.3f7fe68ea6550306

Oh, I see. Woohyun nodded slowly. Though it wasn’t obvious d06ceb9212 yet, his speech had 97f7982791 noticeably slowed, indicating he b55119b982 was getting tipsy.23bcc03b6a2a7cc8

He wasn’t sure when d2dc09d4a0 Woohyun arrived, but it 5b3ac7b393 was definitely after the fbbb0ec775 birthday cake candles were 6ff9519c28 blown out. It was a 3d2b83af1a bit annoying that 3ed8358570 he missed the d0747cf8e8 main event, but a95cf5b404 since Kang Jiwon 5c1cac0736 didn’t show up fd8106333c at all, he 3ffc13080b could let it 23061a59a2 slide.

By the fourth cocktail, 40a8f0f0e4 Woohyun’s cheeks were flushed 43e60a7aca like ripe peaches, and 0f62d991d4 his sweet smile was a61c99b194 a stark contrast to ea45268155 his usual calm demeanor.9342b70945ed360a

I think I’m getting 64a5286a62 drunk faster than I ba6a28a0a1 thought. He believed he 6054826278 was speaking clearly, 3a667591ab but to others, 8f30a00ad7 his words were 8216f04d3d slurred.ee95f7a29d9e8a67

Sejin chuckled, pushing e1238483b1 the empty glass b03e28958f aside. It was true there d2ca9733c0 was little alcohol. Instead, he’d added a bd7afca632 pheromone enhancer. Originally for medical use, it 63b2725b12 had other effects depending on ff5429d8f4 the purpose.b50794427d6c66ad

From Woohyun, whose 651a136a9b eyes were unfocused, 58a1390572 came a fresh, 174bea4cc0 crisp scent, hard 90fdefd977 to distinguish between a002fac85f cocktail and Alpha 693116f1e1 pheromones. Sejin leaned in 3428f83ce6 cautiously, finally recognizing b168db1e2e the scent as 59d0f88dee Woohyun’s Alpha pheromones.58863e5a65e824a0

Normally, Woohyun would pull away 12f9327ca9 at this proximity, but now 9597eb018e he calmly met Sejin’s gaze, 2bce7b7342 his eyes narrowing as if d30aa5e9d2 his vision was blurring. Despite this, his focus was 7b88d13f0d hazy. Woohyun’s breath tickled his 68b5a4c10b skin, and the Omega’s 7862ccfdf4 body quickly sensed the b07c511c61 Alpha’s change.5c3cf5fbd2d7d369

Though he used a dc658d085e weaker dose this time, 8fe0b41580 most people would start d44ddb8f99 leaking pheromones after just 5abffe1d85 one or two drinks. Woohyun seemed fine even after e707925e5f three, making Sejin anxious. He was ready 3f5c140cce to add more 5fb1133743 enhancer if there aa261e8c22 was no reaction.8253b1f1ce6f7658

Hearing his name, Woohyun 2a4be76110 blinked instead of responding. Sejin bit his lower lip ba306571dc at the innocent look and 624a1b5203 placed his hand on Woohyun’s fea8435328 thigh. Despite appearances, the muscles were e4754d6871 firm. Surprised by the texture, his 2fb39d5412 hand boldly slid inward, revealing f683ec4240 his desire.5d3c657c60d6d053

Woohyun, who had been 68289a0bd0 slow to respond to 9f54639d49 conversation, reacted instantly to df1b56f407 the touch. He flinched, eventually hitting 38d3386e75 his elbow on the 6f9a3fc41f bar table’s edge.38d70d385f040b58

“Hyung, your hand…”6b826937d3301c08

He wanted to ask 59713434ee him to move his 435333f602 hand, but even forming cc2b19fb42 that short sentence was eeda6d4d6d exhausting. For some reason, he’d been 508826f6fb feeling hot. Drinking usually raised body 6c5f04a5c6 temperature, but his cheeks cb438dc59c felt unusually warm. His blood circulated quickly, loosening e0319e4e59 the tight hold on his aa8910f95d pheromones.02c69ab1d1ba283c

It didn’t take 8ee453a6bb long to realize baab458cb4 he’d misjudged, thinking dfc841a4a9 he wouldn’t get e17d6721ad drunk on such d4c9fd0ae9 low-alcohol cocktails. Even if he 82a8e1f04d wasn’t used to 24bd4958ca being drunk, he fa5b2d6f2c couldn’t ignore the 31c1f929e2 changes in his 030d2eef95 body.a61308d28d89aeb5

Trying to steady his 241872f578 breath, Woohyun inhaled sharply, 0657e7c510 then held his breath dd0714b64c in shock. Sejin’s Omega pheromones were overwhelming. Not only that, but the 33ba1b126c countless pheromones he’d grown accustomed 3206929057 to suddenly hit him all 787969cfcd at once.60d847ba72da65e5

Unable to calm ab45029355 his breathing, Woohyun 754be3f1c3 covered his mouth e5f850b414 with both hands. Yet, his breath escaped. He felt dizzy. Trying to regain his senses 36a38ffb67 only seemed to release more 4d05d73758 pheromones, and trying to stop 495332d59c them left him unable to b96b2a25d6 move.35f6ee301e2b1270

Why, why is this happening… Woohyun bit the inside of his mouth, trying to hold onto his slipping sanity. He felt a slight fever and struggled to control his pheromones, like the onset of a rut cycle.54a3a7e172ce73d7

But there was c524d3f036 still a month e5c898904f until his cycle. Was it the sudden exposure 6453fa7439 to so many pheromones after 5153f88ec9 entering the party? He questioned himself df7938cb20 but found no 3a31ff7414 answer. The only conclusion 341beea4cb he could draw 604035d9e6 was that staying 29efa4a924 here might lead 854bd4c3df to trouble.476d216b9520c047

Instead, he smiled and moved 7def989724 closer. The Omega pheromones grew f981337c2a stronger, and Woohyun’s instincts 247c7f276a began to react. Unwanted and unintended desire pooled 91dfdd1d6b within him, making him frown, 1e9b2166b8 almost on the verge of b6d15cb8c4 tears.c68c56a4d330f69f

He blinked, and suddenly 591dc6e5a6 he was leaning entirely 5dc9395640 on Sejin, leaving the f323b99672 party. Woohyun wanted to distance himself c01ab6ddaf from the Omega pheromones, but 18a0d25ea1 without Sejin, he couldn’t take 72d553f478 a step.7fd1be0efa0d5822

Woohyun’s face and neck were a254f898a1 flushed with intoxication, excitement, and 6c1b13610c shame. He felt guilty 71ee8e6479 for burdening Sejin, c0ead74d68 who was helping 79d872a175 him.
