OAO | Chapter 11

Could it be that they attached a tracking device somewhere on my body without me knowing? It occurred to him that it might not have been Kangyoon but the company. If that was the case, he would have to confront his manager tomorrow. No matter how much of a company celebrity he was, they should at least ensure basic human rights.

“Isn’t it a bit much to expect no one would notice you, after wandering around so loudly?”

Kangyoon pulled out his phone and showed him the SNS screen. It was filled with posts featuring photos and autographs from today, with many mentioning Jaeyoon by name. Some even wrote that they saw Jaeyoon at the cinema, seemingly watching a movie.

This meant Kangyoon had timed his wait to the end of the movie Jaeyoon watched.

“Did you wander around to your heart’s content?”

Kangyoon asked, looking at Jaeyoon with dark, piercing eyes.

“Wander around… what, am I a kid?”

Jaeyoon mumbled, but he felt a bit guilty.

“Let’s go.”

Kangyoon stepped forward and grabbed Jaeyoon’s wrist.

“Where to…?”

Being dragged along by the forceful grip, Jaeyoon asked, and Kangyoon answered without a moment’s hesitation, “To my place.” Jaeyoon stopped in his tracks. He tried to pull his hand back, but Kangyoon held on firmly.

“No, I don’t want to go to your place, Hyung.”

“…”

Jaeyoon expected him to ask why, but Kangyoon just stared at him in silence, which felt suffocating. Normally, they could be in the same space without speaking a word and feel comfortable, but not now.

“Then you decide.”

Instead of asking why Jaeyoon was stubbornly refusing to go home, Kangyoon asked where they should go. The unexpected response left Jaeyoon flustered.

“Where did you stay last night?”

Kangyoon spoke as if he was sure Jaeyoon hadn’t gone home. It seemed like he had gone looking for him.

“Does it matter where I was? I have a private life too.”

Jaeyoon repeated what he had said to his manager. He expected Kangyoon to scold him for wandering around unnecessarily, but Kangyoon remained silent.

“So you went to Hanjun?”

The sudden mention of Hanjun made his heart sink. Then he realized Kangyoon might have heard from the manager about him meeting Hanjun.

“I had some business.”

Not only Kangyoon, but other members had almost cut ties with Hanjun, but they didn’t openly resent or curse him. So meeting him shouldn’t be a big deal.

“You asked Hanjun for a hug?”

The casual tone delayed the meaning’s impact.

“You said you were stuck while filming. Did you ask Hanjun for help?”

Jaeyoon bit his lower lip to hold back a yell. Even if the sky fell, he would never ask Hanjun for such a favor. No, he wouldn’t ask anyone else, not even Kangyoon.

Feeling frustrated and upset about Kangyoon’s misunderstanding, he also understood why he was saying such things. He had been flippant with Kangyoon, mentioning the alpha club as an excuse for watching a movie. On top of that, he had told the manager about getting help from Hanjun, which infuriated Kangyoon.

Though he understood Kangyoon’s reaction, his heart felt like it was being crushed.

“I never did that.”

Jaeyoon responded in a voice he thought was calm, suppressing the emotions that were about to explode. But his voice trembled.

Kangyoon, staring at Jaeyoon, exhaled deeply. Without a word, he started walking again, still gripping Jaeyoon’s wrist tightly.

Jaeyoon didn’t ask where they were going this time. Kangyoon put him in the car he had parked, started the engine, and the car glided through the night streets. Jaeyoon stared silently at the streetlights outside, lips pressed together. Kangyoon didn’t force any conversation either.

They were enveloped in heavy silence, making Jaeyoon feel like his heart would be crushed. Fortunately, the car stopped within five minutes. When Jaeyoon looked outside, his eyes widened. They were in front of the hotel where he had stayed last night.

“How did you…?”

“I checked your card usage records.”

Kangyoon answered nonchalantly. He seemed to remember a joke Jaeyoon had made once about all his website IDs and passwords being the same. Still, Jaeyoon had never told him the password…

“It’s my birthday.”

At Kangyoon’s casual remark, Jaeyoon’s face turned bright red. Even as he watched Jaeyoon, Kangyoon didn’t say much. He got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, and opened the door.

“You have a room booked, right? Lead the way.”

Since Jaeyoon had refused to go to either Kangyoon’s or his own house, they had come to the hotel Jaeyoon had booked. Having come this far, he couldn’t refuse to go to the hotel room. It was late, and there were hardly any guests around, but the hotel lobby staff were looking at them curiously.

Jaeyoon led the way to the hotel room. He glanced around, worried someone might see them, and Kangyoon sighed softly beside him.

“No one cares. Anyone who sees us going into the same hotel room will just think we’re group members sharing a room.”

Jaeyoon flinched at how accurately Kangyoon pinpointed his concern. Could it be…? He clamped his mouth shut and held the key card to the door lock.

Beep. As the lock clicked open, Kangyoon turned the handle. He gestured for Jaeyoon to go in quickly.

Was it always this nerve-wracking to enter a room with Lee Kangyoon? Jaeyoon calmed himself, thinking he was overthinking things, and went inside.

Silence fell again. Jaeyoon sat on the bed, and Kangyoon pulled a chair to sit across from him. But that was all; he didn’t say anything first. In the end, it was Jaeyoon who couldn’t stand the prolonged silence. He took a deep breath and spoke up.

“Were you surprised to hear I’m an Omega?”

“Yeah.”

Kangyoon’s reply was short and indifferent. The reaction was so monotonous that Jaeyoon didn’t know how to continue.

“Sorry…”

“Don’t apologize. It’s not something you need to apologize for. The company made you do it. You must have had the hardest time hiding it while taking suppressants, so don’t apologize.”

Kangyoon’s tone grew even more rigid. Was he angry? Jaeyoon glanced up to check his face. His usually expressionless face looked even more stern. He couldn’t tell if Kangyoon was genuinely angry or if it was just his own guilt making it seem that way.

“I’m not mad at you.”

Kangyoon added, perhaps noticing Jaeyoon’s anxiousness. Then he sighed deeply.

“Are you going to finish that movie?”

It was an unexpected question. For Kangyoon, quitting something halfway was unthinkable. He despised such irresponsibility more than anyone.

“Actor Choi Sunghyun is an Alpha.”

With those words, Jaeyoon understood what Kangyoon was worried about. He was still concerned about him. Jaeyoon couldn’t help but smile. He was so consistent. That’s why he couldn’t help but like him.

“You must have heard from the manager, but even though I’m an Omega, I hardly emit any pheromones. I take my suppressants diligently before filming.”

Since he started taking emergency suppressants from the hospital, Choi Sunghyun hadn’t mentioned any sweet scent coming from him.

“You asked Sunghyun Hyung to take rut suppressants, right? That’s excessive worry. It will never happen.”

“Can you guarantee that?”

Kangyoon asked immediately after Jaeyoon finished speaking.

“Can you guarantee that your pheromones won’t leak out at all?”

“Uh…?”

Kangyoon’s gaze was so intense that Jaeyoon was at a loss for words. As he stared blankly at Kangyoon, his skin began to tingle. It wasn’t his imagination. The tingling sensation grew stronger, spreading all over his body. Jaeyoon’s eyes widened in surprise at the unfamiliar sensation.

Kangyoon was releasing Alpha pheromones. Strong enough for Jaeyoon to feel it clearly.

“Kangyoon Hyung…”

His eyes were trembling as he looked at Kangyoon. Kangyoon leaned forward slightly and reached out to Jaeyoon. Even though there was no reason to avoid it, Jaeyoon instinctively recoiled from the Alpha pheromones spreading through Kangyoon’s fingertips.

As Kangyoon’s hand approached Jaeyoon, it stopped just before making contact. Jaeyoon thought Kangyoon might withdraw, but he didn’t. Instead, Kangyoon’s hand swiftly reached out and cupped Jaeyoon’s cheek. The warmth covering half of his face made Jaeyoon’s mind tingle.

This was different from usual. Just from Kangyoon releasing his alpha pheromones, Jaeyoon couldn’t respond with his usual playful smile. His heart ached, and all he could think about was how much he wanted Kangyoon.

I wish he would hold me tightly… so tightly that I can’t think of anything else…

“You’re releasing pheromones right now,” Jaeyoon said in a low voice, suddenly snapping back to reality. Feeling like he had been doused with cold water, he quickly pushed Kangyoon’s hand away from his cheek. Even though he was an omega, Jaeyoon prided himself on being unaffected by pheromones, thinking he wouldn’t be swayed by them or use them to seduce anyone.

“I’m sorry…” Jaeyoon hurriedly searched his jacket pocket for a suppressant to take, but Kangyoon snatched it from his hand.

“You don’t need to take it.”

“But if I affect you too…”

Jaeyoon had never considered that he could be affected by pheromones, making the current situation even more confusing. His thoughts were a jumbled mess, and he couldn’t even understand what he was saying.

“I was the one who released pheromones first,” Kangyoon said calmly, placing Jaeyoon’s suppressant on the table. The alpha pheromones surrounding Kangyoon began to subside, and the tingling on Jaeyoon’s skin and the fluttering in his heart started to calm down.

“Your pheromones, you say you can control them, but you can’t. You need to be aware that they can escape your control at any moment.”

Kangyoon had deliberately released his alpha pheromones to make Jaeyoon aware of the danger. While Jaeyoon understood Kangyoon’s concern, he also felt resentful. Being around Kangyoon already made his heart race, and the added alpha pheromones were too much.

Jaeyoon didn’t want to experience the sensation of his body feeling out of control. He agreed that he lacked awareness of being an omega, but he thought he could go through life without knowing.

For a moment… he was scared. It was different from willingly seducing Kangyoon. His body wanted Kangyoon regardless of his will. A primal instinct deep within him made his whole body burn with the desire for Kangyoon to hold him tightly.

Being an omega made him want the alpha Lee Kangyoon.

That realization was terrifying. Being swayed by pheromones meant he might desire any alpha, not just Kangyoon.

“Do you understand now?” Kangyoon asked. Jaeyoon looked up at him, but Kangyoon’s face showed no particular emotion. Jaeyoon thought he knew Kangyoon well, but now he wasn’t so sure. He didn’t know the alpha Lee Kangyoon.

“The heat cycle and rut between omegas and alphas aren’t simple issues. At any moment, even the smallest trigger can cause pheromones to explode. After that, reason disappears, leaving only the primal desire to want each other.”

Kangyoon sighed deeply.

“Actor Choi Sunghyun was immersed in his role and released alpha pheromones during filming.”

Had Kangyoon been to the set? It wasn’t as serious as Kangyoon made it sound. Most of the betas on set wouldn’t have noticed such a small amount.

“You’re taking suppressants to avoid being affected, aren’t you?”

“No, it’s not like that…”

If it were the old Jaeyoon, he wouldn’t have reacted to such a small amount of alpha pheromones. His recent sensitivity was because…

It’s because of Kangyoon Hyung.

Jaeyoon barely held back the words on the tip of his tongue. His feelings for Kangyoon had reached their limit, overflowing with desire, making his omega nature more sensitive than before.

“You’ve been releasing pheromones when you’re with me too,” Kangyoon said with a sigh.

Jaeyoon bit the inside of his mouth hard.

That’s because I truly wanted Hyung.

Even suppressants couldn’t fully contain his desire.

“If I take suppressants, Sunghyun Hyung won’t know. He didn’t know before, and he won’t in the future.”

“I’m telling you not to rely too much on suppressants. Didn’t you take them when you were with me? You must have.”

Jaeyoon had a lot to say in response to the criticism that suppressants were useless, but he couldn’t. He just bit his lip in frustration, and Kangyoon let out a long sigh.

“Or were suppressants useless against me too?”

Kangyoon asked, as if he had read Jaeyoon’s mind.

“Why?”

Jaeyoon stammered, unable to find the right words.

Maybe I should just confess everything. Would that make me feel better? Would Kangyoon stop having these ridiculous misunderstandings? Jaeyoon’s mind was a tangled mess, his thoughts and emotions in chaos.

He wanted to confess and feel relieved, but he was also anxious about how it might change their relationship. So, he couldn’t bring himself to say the words.

As Jaeyoon’s gaze, which had been locked with Kangyoon’s, slowly fell to the floor, he realized how hard it was to reveal his true feelings. This was different from casually suggesting a kiss or sex. His feelings were heavy and serious, not something he could brush off as a joke.

At the edge of his vision, he saw Kangyoon’s feet. Kangyoon had stood up and was now right in front of him. Just as Jaeyoon was about to lift his head, he felt a weight on his shoulders. Kangyoon had wrapped his arm around Jaeyoon’s shoulders and pulled him close. Jaeyoon’s forehead rested against Kangyoon’s stomach.

“I wasn’t trying to pressure you. I just wanted you to be aware of the risks of being an omega,” Kangyoon said, gently patting Jaeyoon’s back. The gesture made Jaeyoon’s emotions surge, threatening to spill over.

Jaeyoon reached up and grabbed Kangyoon’s shirt.

“But I can’t quit the movie,” he murmured, more to himself than to Kangyoon.

Kangyoon sighed deeply, his chest rising and falling.

“So, please help me, Hyung.”

Kangyoon tensed at Jaeyoon’s request.

“Help me… go all the way. If it’s not you, I can’t ask anyone else to be my practice partner.”

Even if it was just once, even if there were no emotions involved, Jaeyoon didn’t care. Since his secret was out, he just wanted Kangyoon to desire him as an alpha. He didn’t want to attach any special meaning to his “first time,” but he couldn’t help feeling scared.

Admitting that he could be held by someone was harder than he thought. Having lived as a beta, the idea of wanting to be held was frightening.

But with Kangyoon, it felt like it would be okay. Because he liked him.

“No, I can’t,” Kangyoon said firmly. Jaeyoon was taken aback by the cold rejection. He couldn’t look up at Kangyoon, afraid of what he might see.

“I was joking. Even Hyung can’t go that far…” Jaeyoon tried to laugh it off, but Kangyoon grabbed his shoulders and pushed him back onto the bed. Kangyoon climbed on top of him, looking down intently.

“Would that be enough for you?” Kangyoon asked, his dark eyes even deeper and more intense.

“Can you really use acting as an excuse to be held by just anyone?”

Kangyoon’s gaze was so serious that Jaeyoon couldn’t joke or laugh it off as he usually did.

“Yoon Jaeyoon,” Kangyoon said softly, making Jaeyoon’s heart pound. They were so close that if Kangyoon leaned in just a bit, their lips would touch. Even in this situation, Jaeyoon found himself wanting that kiss, which made him feel pathetic.

“Confess properly.”

Jaeyoon’s eyes widened in shock. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“Confess…?” he stammered. Kangyoon’s expression remained cool and composed.

“What kind of confession…” Jaeyoon tried to turn his head away, but Kangyoon cupped his chin, forcing him to look back at him.

“Don’t run away. Look at me and say it.”

“Say what…?”

“Yoon Jaeyoon.”

Hearing his name said so seriously made Jaeyoon’s heart race. Under Kangyoon’s intense gaze, he knew he couldn’t hide anymore. He was caught. Every bit of his feelings had been exposed.

Jaeyoon had tried to brush it off as a joke, but he failed. Kangyoon now knew that Jaeyoon’s feelings were genuine, not just a playful act. However, Jaeyoon wasn’t sure how to interpret Kangyoon telling him to confess. Maybe it was a good thing. He had even considered the worst-case scenario where Kangyoon might not let him confess at all. After all, confessing would mean they could never go back to their comfortable relationship.

Or perhaps Kangyoon wouldn’t care at all about Jaeyoon’s confession and remain unchanged.

“……I do.”

Jaeyoon tried to speak, but the words wouldn’t come out easily. The emotions he had suppressed for ten years were heavier than he thought, making it difficult to express them aloud.

Kangyoon waited patiently, not rushing Jaeyoon. He seemed willing to wait as long as it took for Jaeyoon to speak properly.

“I like you… I’ve liked you for a long time. That’s why I did those things. Asking for a kiss, suggesting sex, all of it… I did it because I wanted to do it with you, Hyung. The movie was just an excuse. I didn’t want to do it because of the movie; I used the movie as an excuse because I wanted to do it with you.”

Once he started, the words flowed easily. After letting out everything he had kept inside, Jaeyoon felt a weight lift off his chest. He took a deep breath and raised a hand to cover his eyes, but Kangyoon caught his hand. Jaeyoon looked at him, ready to complain about not being able to avoid his gaze, but he stopped short.

Lee Kangyoon was smiling softly, a smile unlike any Jaeyoon had seen before—warm and gentle, like a spring breeze.

“You finally told me properly.”

Kangyoon ruffled Jaeyoon’s hair. Suddenly, something burst inside Jaeyoon. Tears welled up in his eyes and spilled over before he could stop them.

“Sex isn’t something you practice; it’s something you do with someone you like,” Kangyoon said, gently wiping Jaeyoon’s tears with his thumb. His voice was tender, not scolding.

“I know… I asked because I like you.”

Jaeyoon felt a mix of relief and frustration at having revealed so much of his feelings. Kangyoon’s lips curved into a soft smile.

“I see.”

Kangyoon kissed Jaeyoon’s cheek, then slowly moved to his lips. He kissed Jaeyoon gently, their lips barely touching at first, then deepening the kiss. Jaeyoon’s breath hitched as Kangyoon’s tongue explored his mouth. When they finally pulled apart, Jaeyoon was breathless.

“Hyung, why…?”

Jaeyoon’s eyes asked the question he couldn’t voice: Why are you kissing me? I didn’t even ask this time. Kangyoon smiled and kissed Jaeyoon’s forehead.

“That’s why I’m asking why you’re doing this,” Jaeyoon said, pushing Kangyoon’s chest half-heartedly. Kangyoon kissed Jaeyoon’s wrist, making him blush.

“Seriously, why are you doing this? If you’re teasing me, stop. I can’t laugh it off.”

Jaeyoon tried to pull his hand away, but Kangyoon kissed him again, this time more gently. When the kiss ended, Jaeyoon looked up at Kangyoon with tears streaming down his face, a look of resentment in his eyes.

“Damn it,” Jaeyoon muttered, wiping his tears with the back of his hand and turning his head away. Kangyoon cupped Jaeyoon’s cheek, forcing him to look back at him.

“I told you, this is something you do with someone you like.”

“But that doesn’t mean Hyung likes me…!”

Jaeyoon’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“You like me…?”

Kangyoon smiled and nodded. Jaeyoon still couldn’t believe it, his eyes wide with shock. He furrowed his brows, pushed Kangyoon away, and sat up.

“You’re mistaken.”

Kangyoon’s smile faded at the word “mistaken.”

“It’s because I released omega pheromones, and you were affected by them.”

Ah, now Jaeyoon’s reaction made sense to Kangyoon.

“Maybe that’s true.”

Jaeyoon flinched, his face hardening. He had hurt himself with his own words. Even his attempts to be strong were so clumsy.

“I pushed you away in the bathroom because I didn’t want to be swayed by pheromones.”

Recently, when Jaeyoon approached him naked in the bathroom, Kangyoon was overwhelmed by the sweet scent. Jaeyoon seemed unaware, but that day, he was releasing omega pheromones in response to Kangyoon’s touch. This realization was unsettling because Kangyoon had always believed Jaeyoon to be a beta. He was taken aback not by the act itself, but by the unexpected release of omega pheromones from someone he thought was a beta.

The truth had already become clear before that. When Kangyoon initiated a kiss in response to Jaeyoon’s clumsy advances, it was a sign that he didn’t dislike Jaeyoon or see him merely as a practice partner.

“It’s true that your actions made me aware of my feelings.”

Kangyoon’s realization became crystal clear when he saw Choi Sunghyun kissing Jaeyoon. Even though he knew it was just acting, he felt a surge of possessiveness. The thought of Jaeyoon belonging to someone else was unbearable. Until then, Kangyoon had taken Jaeyoon’s presence for granted, never realizing how much he cared for him.

“But I knew you were an omega even before that.”

Jaeyoon looked at Kangyoon, trying to comprehend his words.

“Yoon Jaeyoon becomes timid when he cares about someone.”

Kangyoon knew Jaeyoon’s family background well. He had watched Jaeyoon practice alone late into the night, and over time, Jaeyoon had opened up to him about his past. Perhaps Kangyoon initially felt sorry for him.

“You don’t need to act that way with me. I’ll be by your side no matter what.”

Kangyoon wrapped an arm around Jaeyoon’s shoulders and pulled him close, gently stroking his hair. A sweet scent began to fill the air—Yoon Jaeyoon, an omega, was confessing his love for Lee Kangyoon with his entire being. Kangyoon couldn’t help but smile.

“So, what do you want to do? Should we do it or not?” Kangyoon whispered into Jaeyoon’s ear, feeling the sweet scent intensify. He already knew the answer without needing to hear it. He could imagine Jaeyoon’s face—not the playful, flirtatious expression he usually wore, but a deep blush and avoidant gaze. Knowing this, Kangyoon simply held him close, stroking his hair.

“I want to. I want to do it with you, Hyung.” Jaeyoon gripped Kangyoon’s shirt tightly, his voice barely audible but clear to Kangyoon.

Kangyoon smiled and moved his hand from Jaeyoon’s hair to his neck, making Jaeyoon’s body tremble at the touch. Despite his bold advances, Jaeyoon had no experience. His body’s reactions confirmed this. Kangyoon wondered if it was right to go further, but a wry smile crossed his face at the thought.

As Kangyoon traced his fingers down Jaeyoon’s back, a low moan escaped Jaeyoon’s lips. His breath grew hotter, and his body responded to Kangyoon’s alpha pheromones. Kangyoon leaned down and kissed Jaeyoon’s neck.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a beta or an omega.”

Jaeyoon looked up at Kangyoon, his eyes no longer filled with anxiety but with calm determination.

“Once we start, I won’t be able to stop.”

Jaeyoon nodded slightly, still holding onto Kangyoon’s shirt.

“After this, I might never let you go.”

“…I hope you won’t.”

“I might be more possessive and obsessive than you think.”

Jaeyoon smiled innocently, unaware of the depth of an alpha’s possessiveness. Kangyoon kissed him deeply, feeling Jaeyoon’s desperate response. The heat between them intensified, and Kangyoon knew he had reached his limit.

With a gentle push, Kangyoon laid Jaeyoon down on the bed, removing his shirt. The dominant presence of Kangyoon as an alpha, not just a fellow band member, made Jaeyoon swallow hard. The scent of Kangyoon’s pheromones enveloped him, not with fear, but with anticipation.

As Kangyoon’s hand slipped under Jaeyoon’s shirt, touching his bare skin, Jaeyoon’s hips arched. The sensation was overwhelming, not just ticklish, but a burning desire that made him feel like he was going mad.

“It’s okay. You don’t need to be nervous.”

Kangyoon’s gentle voice resonated in Jaeyoon’s ear. Soon, Kangyoon’s hot tongue licked inside his ear, making Jaeyoon’s upper body arch up.

“Ugh, wait, that’s too much…!”

The unexpected sensitivity in that spot caught him off guard. The heat from Kangyoon’s tongue inside his ear made his lower abdomen throb.

Kangyoon’s hand slid down his abdomen and rubbed Jaeyoon’s center over his pants. Jaeyoon realized he was fully erect, not just erect but already wet with precum.

“Ah…”

His body was completely out of control. Just the touch of Kangyoon’s hand made his heart race and his vision blur. He could feel his pulse everywhere, as if his whole body had turned into a heart.

Click. Kangyoon unbuckled Jaeyoon’s pants and pulled them down. In an instant, his pants were off, leaving him feeling exposed.

“You’re wet.”

Kangyoon looked down at Jaeyoon and whispered softly. That simple statement made Jaeyoon’s face flush with heat.

“It’s because Hyung touched me…”

Jaeyoon trailed off, embarrassed. Kangyoon’s lips curved into a faint smile. He kissed Jaeyoon’s forehead lightly, then his hand moved confidently to Jaeyoon’s back. The sensation of his hand brushing against his skin made Jaeyoon shiver. Kangyoon’s fingers slipped under the waistband of his underwear.

“Here.”

Kangyoon’s finger pressed into the crevice of his buttocks.

“You’re getting wet. Can you feel it?”

He was right. The wetness made Kangyoon’s finger glide smoothly around the entrance. The teasing touch was maddening, making Jaeyoon desperate for more. Even though he had never used that part of his body before, his instincts seemed to know exactly what to do.

Haah… Kangyoon let out a long breath. His breath on Jaeyoon’s shoulder was just as hot. The bulge in Kangyoon’s pants pressing against Jaeyoon’s thigh showed that he was just as aroused.

Lee Kangyoon is aroused by Yoon Jaeyoon. That realization brought both relief and an even stronger desire.

“Please… hurry…”

Jaeyoon wrapped his arms around Kangyoon’s neck, pulling him closer, begging without thinking.

“Down there… it’s throbbing… I feel like I’m going crazy.”

Jaeyoon’s voice was laced with desperation. The sweet scent of his pheromones grew stronger with his growing need. Even though it wasn’t his heat cycle, the omega’s instinct to desire an alpha was overwhelming.

Fuu. Kangyoon took a deep breath to steady himself. He stripped Jaeyoon of his shirt and underwear, revealing his smooth, toned body. The thought that Choi Sunghyun might have seen this body during the movie shoot stirred a dark, possessive feeling within him.

The idea that someone else might have touched Jaeyoon first filled him with an unexpected anger. He wanted to mark Jaeyoon as his own, to keep him hidden away where no one else could touch him. This primal, alpha possessiveness surprised even himself.

As Kangyoon undressed, Jaeyoon’s eyes followed him. His gaze traveled down from Kangyoon’s face to his erection, hard and veined. Jaeyoon gulped, unaware that his every reaction was fueling Kangyoon’s desire.

“Give me… this…”

Jaeyoon’s red lips parted, breaking the last thread of Kangyoon’s self-control.

“Don’t beg. You can’t handle it.”

Kangyoon lifted one of Jaeyoon’s legs, kissing his ankle and then gently biting it. Jaeyoon let out a short moan. Kangyoon kissed his way up Jaeyoon’s calf to his thigh, making Jaeyoon’s hips tremble. His untouched erection was now dripping with precum.

Unable to bear it, Jaeyoon tried to touch himself, but Kangyoon wouldn’t allow it. He wanted to do everything himself.

“Wait.”

Kangyoon held Jaeyoon’s hand, preventing him from touching himself. Jaeyoon looked at him with a tearful expression, which only made him look more beautiful to Kangyoon. He had always known Jaeyoon was attractive, but seeing him like this, knowing he was his omega, made even his frowns sparkle.

So this is what it means to be blinded by love. Even as his remaining rationality mocked him, his instincts were already completely consumed by Yoon Jaeyoon.
