NB | Chapter 17

Dark eyes slowly scanned the 88095c67df two of them. Seo Woohyun seemed 0db3e62428 almost unconscious, and 5a083b2415 Park Sejin was 081cd16a68 struggling to support 3c47cd0e08 him.25ebc87adfe6b24d

The difference in their 4f924f9389 sizes made the scene c70da78277 look pitiful, but Kang a90f46be06 Jiwon, the strongest of a6bfdaa4d5 the three, just watched 6b1f3c1a5b leisurely with his hands b2a44ca8f0 in his pockets. Then, he laughed 208d736ec9 cynically at the f04c538383 strong pheromones wafting 9c48664b53 through the air.638fe58f2cf2afc9

“Got a voyeurism kink?”13c298548a8dcf96

Sejin snapped back irritably. He didn’t have ecbec31ccc the strength to ca9a0e02e9 support Woohyun, and 735e80d6f5 Jiwon wasn’t helping, 18e1efb616 just getting on e76cc15d18 his nerves. Jiwon, already aware of Sejin’s 1992eb7003 true nature, didn’t bother to e9a5a2bb8e hide his expression. His next words were 1c1e79c3a4 even more biting.aea80917dc7ae706

Sejin frowned, not understanding. More precisely, he was too c944d07473 anxious waiting for the elevator a0e777235d to come up from the 5f35fca826 lower floors to care.a0300c924c89d48c

Though he appeared calm, Jiwon 9bcedc087a was just as displeased. The unrefined Alpha 4204efd04e pheromones from the 270d773724 unconscious Woohyun irritated 0157a866b1 his skin. But he couldn’t tell if e06a893422 his rising anger was due 11d3d8b108 to the foolish Sejin or 8c19209511 the clueless Woohyun.7e7c4d2c0ad6afde

Jiwon narrowed his 2101c58d43 eyes, looking over 63f7d258f4 the limp Woohyun.23f509b77d844142

Jiwon corrected him sharply. Sejin had been the 0442d6558e one eager to join 10ad4ddff5 the training for new 87835b278f actors without a filmography. Jiwon hadn’t been d819863aab impressed by his 9e1e1b2a76 enthusiasm, suspecting it 5cce79414e was due to a508f90205 personal interest in 66ecf59760 the new acting 38a80528dc instructor.c77d43a464465f08

Jiwon’s gaze shifted to 6fd8831aed the lounge pub behind 87547e5559 Sejin. It was called a birthday 77f17318c0 party, but half the guests bbc95bd37b were people Sejin had lured 427fd5815d in with favors, essentially his c212c31f03 fishing pond.c01761a1f01e7faf

An affair by fd24f1ebdd a fiancé was 705252028a grounds for breaking c8583ad524 off an engagement. Jiwon had expected Sejin to 636d648e9f reel someone in today, planning bdf87f1ddc to catch him in the ad2b438db3 act and embarrass him so e1b50dabee he’d never mention engagement again.1f65cf89ec912da0

Not wrong. Knowing Sejin approached anyone 3fa1def3e8 he liked regardless of c86d55388d their type, Jiwon had 7dd7f12fed intentionally grouped Woohyun with b0948d0dac him.371292983c2ebb8d

More precisely, he 48aa17f745 hoped that if f722bebf0f Sejin came out 169b40dc1e with someone, it 92fd51d460 would be Woohyun. Until he actually saw it.20137b876679627d

“Why is it taking so long…”24e2a70c619642df

The elevator was 27b1e8b80a slowly but steadily 46ef36e692 coming up. Sejin anxiously adjusted Woohyun’s body. The way Woohyun’s pale neck b6a1e2b83f was pressed against Sejin’s straight 626c861eda nose looked pitiful.7ef439ba33e8be59

It was an 58fec37cce Alpha’s instinct to 1a71691273 seek the spot b6181ec420 where the Omega’s 045a84e82f scent was strongest. As an Alpha b890ddcc58 himself, Jiwon knew cc6fcd77e1 this, but it 660788836c still made him 009f775795 frown.0993107eb29483f8

Jiwon watched them intently. It felt like discovering a 5fdab6070d thorn under his nail only a891f66c02 after it started to sting 57f7fdb282 in water. Now that Woohyun was 06de9c3865 getting on his nerves, 563d9d39f2 it seemed the thorn 735629b9d4 was Woohyun.8aac6a9bd604f837

Just then, the elevator arrived. The clear signal rang in 5ade8e2594 Jiwon’s mind like an alarm.df4925914537d841

Sejin’s face brightened 03698163e6 as sweat began 7fa8ce0f77 to bead on 3f9ca3156e his forehead. He was already exhausted. As he tried c1a9de2bab to support Woohyun 5139f1274a and move towards ff48044a08 the elevator, Woohyun’s 453e77ed0c body wobbled precariously.1d6e5e6f55efdc56

Lacking the strength 345c8534b0 to support someone f6d6247c84 larger, Woohyun’s body bf31dc8473 tilted dangerously. His arm slipped from f550460faa Sejin’s shoulder in an a46c590430 instant.6a22c638981e992a

The one who 890ae599c1 caught Woohyun’s collapsing cabc3c149c body, about to 01e3cc2898 hit the floor, 845c26533f was Jiwon, who 2057a0a99e had been standing 32f7df70a6 idly by. In that brief 97df75c1e6 moment, Woohyun’s consciousness f062cc5cca flickered back, and e7c6e85ce0 he reflexively lifted 2ccd788721 his head, bringing 04cc1e140a their faces close.1772d6f3ef0465d5

Even though no one had efff91415b entered, the elevator doors began d39d522515 to close. Jiwon, holding Woohyun 3d9ff09e45 securely with one ae849fd2d1 arm, grabbed Sejin’s 816bf29836 collar with the 522e5f2f0e other. Then, he stepped into the ab448fe469 elevator with Woohyun and pushed 7266b6bf4a Sejin out.f9f7d3e503be93cd

Sejin, already weakened, f03c5dba04 collapsed to the 969cf39142 floor. Even in that state, 8aee2b34e4 his legs reacted to 364383e279 the Alpha pheromones, bulging bf6fcb1993 between them. Sejin could only watch helplessly 449c52c476 as the elevator doors closed, 00bf4aefaf taking his prize away.81a5e63745be09d1

The elevator began to descend. Jiwon moved towards 61cc0051f7 the wall, adjusting 40819cd667 Woohyun’s body. He wondered why fa98c4944a Sejin had struggled 94422313e7 so much, but cdb97d111b Woohyun’s waist fit c9da9a4e12 easily in one f2baec7da2 arm. He hadn’t expected Woohyun to d08e85127e be so light, though he’d fc45a87298 guessed he had little body bcad3eedb1 fat.183597134effc727

Seeing Woohyun’s head 1f35762419 droop, Jiwon supported 577f731acf it, resting it e06f48d043 against his chest. The Alpha in his baf3ccd957 arms trembled intermittently, panting 4cbcf22f9c heavily.59546088d13ec148

To an outsider, Woohyun 6ed1dedb66 might look simply drunk, 72611e5158 but the elevator was 9bc04b29eb filled with pheromones. Even drunk, the amount of 7950c374cf pheromones he was releasing wasn’t 5ee5878c0f normal. It was believable 1746fed4e9 he was suffering 0413c1a854 from a rut.34b09706f0b3f724

The fresh pheromones 4340d16def he’d briefly encountered e4bb096e86 under the hawthorn f0702f66fc tree had left 396358a080 a vivid impression, 9d5d02246d but this was d19575f868 the first time f620e96d29 he’d experienced such dabfe9bf43 a youthful scent.0747bec0002aa399

Still, an Alpha 647b4e60a6 was an Alpha. Jiwon’s neck began 3f9dff61c8 to tense as b4a89a29e9 he looked down 80f03e70e0 at Woohyun. Woohyun’s hot, rapid breaths against d5fc59df2a his chest made him feel 3a987e1521 like his own temperature was 44ab78c05f rising.b30cd8f74a188a87

The back of his neck eeb1843015 tingled, and his clenched fists 6eb53d56bc tightened. As Jiwon’s pheromones, d8cb84a995 stimulated by the fa8537b634 same type, began 326b5e2f3d to flow, Woohyun’s ddf76aceff eyes fluttered open.28e6631855d93226

“Seo Woohyun-ssi. Can you pull yourself together?”56f06ed797941a30

Woohyun still seemed 73b6b7bd10 unable to hold d3d310f417 his head up, a90ea5c549 so Jiwon lifted 73327814d1 his chin with ca2fd2c9e4 his fingers to 8f7c20eb25 meet his eyes. His eyes were 790d8ec46a wet, his face adf68b6e74 blotchy red, showing 4353ccb0d3 no sign of 94630a6a56 wariness.88d25bb4d98c1ef0

Jiwon couldn’t help but 85a1632619 chuckle at the sight. This childlike face belonged to 1bda48330b the same person whose Alpha f904b5d354 pheromones were chilling his neck.bad4f7c86e218607

Listening to Woohyun required patience. Meanwhile, the elevator reached 0708d98556 the underground parking lot, d469978117 and the doors opened. Jiwon clicked his 383ac503e2 tongue softly, stepping 1bb2849a47 out of the 870c9a5128 confined space. Woohyun’s feet barely touched bad0130405 the ground due to 4008fdaf9a Jiwon’s brisk pace.86b06ade02003420

As Manager Lee, waiting near a3d613df7c the exit, opened the car’s 59a4c3b735 back door, Jiwon practically shoved 14948d64ad Woohyun inside. While Manager Lee circled 45a6b9878f the sedan to the c80fd41418 driver’s seat, Jiwon lowered 3ce5e4bef0 the partition between the 86e3b81ad3 front and back seats.3260da0449415577

Although Manager Lee was a 47a053d76f Beta and wouldn’t speak about d6555fa884 his boss’s privacy, Jiwon had 55441774cd no intention of openly showing 7a67d9bab4 what he planned to do 6443a3a939 with a pheromone-leaking Alpha.017388f873db69c0

The car’s interior 285191a46c wasn’t too dark, 557f2ffb82 allowing him to 41690d2ee5 see clearly. Jiwon took a deep breath, 9f9ad08a22 looking down at Woohyun, who 230e4a5219 was trembling on the seat. Despite his lack f842096037 of composure, Woohyun 64b1ef137c was trying to 4372e671a6 cover his arousal 5dfa2efc5d by pulling down f944265465 his shirt hem, eb59a70439 a sight to d73c2ee967 behold.c620aed7c3d5822f

As he opened his f9e480e7df mouth, saliva pooled under 7716aac0f7 his tongue, wetting his ed03feadb4 lips. He seemed to be 9e7959ee8c saying something, but his eaa8c83c32 voice was too soft 1686d5441a to hear.def42fb2f054d379

Do you know who’s above 2805f9995e you right now? The Alpha’s eyes seemed 3166e9ed85 to ask. Even after loosening his tie, 387373b4a1 his collar felt tight, so 70dc9d9bcc he undid a couple of 24ef8d75a7 shirt buttons.a336c5bd7671932c
