OAO | Chapter 8

“Isn’t once or twice the same?”

At the question suggesting that a second kiss wouldn’t be any different after the first, a faint wrinkle appeared between Kangyoon’s brows, but he didn’t deny it.

“Do you hate me?”

If he was asking whether Kangyoon hated Yoon Jaeyoon himself, not just the kiss, Kangyoon would never be able to say yes. Jaeyoon knew Kangyoon well. Sure enough, Kangyoon only tightened his lips, unable to provide any answer.

“If you hate it, push me away. Then I won’t do it again.”

Jaeyoon leaned his upper body entirely toward Kangyoon, and Kangyoon’s gaze shifted directly toward him.

“People outside can see—ugh.”

Kangyoon frowned as the driver’s seat reclined backward.

“Like this, it’s fine, right?”

Jaeyoon flashed a bright smile, but Kangyoon only hardened his lips further. If Kangyoon pushed him away, Jaeyoon was ready to stop. He had mentally prepared himself for it as he moved closer.

The distance closed completely, and their lips met. A light touch, then a retreat, but Kangyoon didn’t push him away. Taking a little more courage, Jaeyoon licked Kangyoon’s lips with his tongue. When he confirmed there was no rejection, he pushed his tongue between Kangyoon’s lips.

A sigh escaped between Kangyoon’s lips. Then he sat up, grabbed Jaeyoon’s shoulders, and pushed him toward the passenger seat. So it wasn’t going to work after all. Just as Jaeyoon was starting to feel disappointed, the passenger seat suddenly reclined backward. Before he could even process it, Kangyoon closed the distance and pressed his lips onto Jaeyoon’s. Kangyoon’s tongue invaded his mouth with force.

Unlike Jaeyoon’s tentative movements, Kangyoon gripped his tongue and intertwined with it, creating a mess. The scorching heat that swept through his mouth left no room for other thoughts.

“Too dangerous.”

Kangyoon muttered as he pulled back from Jaeyoon’s lips. Their faces were still so close that his breath fell directly on Jaeyoon’s face.

“I’m going to step out for some fresh air. Don’t come out. Stay here.”

Leaving Jaeyoon alone, Kangyoon opened the car door and got out. Jaeyoon, unable to think of sitting up, panted for breath. He touched his lips with his fingers, then belatedly felt heat rush to his face and covered it with his hands.

It felt so good. But it was unsettling.

The mix of emotions left him confused. For now, the warmth of Kangyoon’s lips and his racing heart consumed him too much to think any further—not even about what Kangyoon meant by “dangerous.”

Outside the car, Kangyoon took a deep breath. The cool river breeze helped soothe the heat that had risen to his head.

His gaze shifted toward his lower body. The thought of how close it had been made him sigh deeply. It had really been dangerous. To think he’d almost gotten aroused while kissing Yoon Jaeyoon… it was utterly bewildering because it was Jaeyoon.

Of course, Jaeyoon had been the one making advances lately, but it was supposed to be just acting practice. His mind firmly drew the line, yet he found himself swayed. And that sweet scent—whenever he caught it, desires beyond reason threatened to rise to the surface.

Ridiculous. I must be going crazy.

He shook his head, breathing deeply in and out repeatedly. Jaeyoon was playing the role of an omega, but he wasn’t actually one. So why did that sweet scent keep coming from him? Even now, it lingered. Kangyoon hadn’t noticed it at first, but during the kiss, it had grown overwhelmingly strong.

No way… it couldn’t be.

Even as he shook his head, he couldn’t dismiss the suspicion. Deep in thought, Kangyoon turned and tapped on the passenger-side window. At the sound, Jaeyoon rolled it down.

For a moment, Kangyoon saw Jaeyoon’s pupils waver.

“Does it smell sweet? Like omega pheromones?”

Before Kangyoon could ask, Jaeyoon answered first. He nodded silently, and a bright smile soon spread across his face.

“It really works, huh? Even Sunghyun Hyung mentioned it today.”

Choi Sunghyun smelled the same scent? And since when did this kid start calling actor Choi Sunghyun “Hyung”? Well, Jaeyoon’s sociability was undeniably excessive. He had a way of lowering people’s defenses with that ever-smiling face, even when meeting someone for the first time.

“It’s a perfume that mimics omega pheromones. I asked Manager Hyung to get it for me.”

At Jaeyoon’s explanation, Kangyoon’s face hardened.

“Why would you wear something like that?”

Maybe it’s because he’s a beta and doesn’t sense the danger. Using a perfume that mimics omega pheromones, does he want to provoke an alpha?

“Yoon Jaeyoon.”

Kangyoon’s voice lowered in exasperation. Hearing his name spoken so sternly, Jaeyoon smiled even more, his eyes curving.

“You don’t have to worry so much. It’s just a perfume. I understand your concerns, but nothing will happen. See, you just thought it smelled sweet. You didn’t feel an overwhelming urge to pounce on me, did you?”

Jaeyoon’s explanation seemed unusually long-winded.

“I won’t use it anymore. I only tried it out of curiosity.”

Before Kangyoon could say more, Jaeyoon raised his hands in mock surrender, promising not to use it again. There was nothing more to say. Kangyoon sighed and turned away, but something didn’t sit right.

If it was perfume, shouldn’t the scent have been consistent from the beginning? Why did it suddenly become strong during the kiss? And why was it completely undetectable now?

“Kangyoon… Is that you?”

A passing schoolgirl recognized Kangyoon and approached.

Kangyoon stepped back, sighing, as the girl’s intense reaction escalated. Fortunately or unfortunately, Jaeyoon got out of the car, thanked her, and shifted her focus to him.

“Please take a picture with me! And an autograph!”

Her friends rushed over, causing a commotion. Even passersby who had been oblivious started to stare and join in the spectacle. The worries about Jaeyoon’s sweet scent were forgotten. Getting Jaeyoon out of the crowd and back home became the immediate problem, causing Kangyoon a headache.

While moving to the filming location, the manager kept glancing back through the rearview mirror. Jaeyoon, engrossed in his script, finally looked up, feeling the gaze.

“What’s up? If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you acting all hesitant?”

As Jaeyoon spoke, the manager gave a sheepish smile.

It seemed there was more than one thing to discuss.

“Hanjun came by yesterday, right?”

“Yeah. He asked me to get a song from Kangyoon Hyung.”

The manager asked cautiously, but Jaeyoon answered nonchalantly.

“He didn’t upset you again, did he?”

The manager knew how Hanjun often treated Jaeyoon poorly, similar to Kangyoon’s concern. Jaeyoon shook his head.

“Nothing new.”

The manager sighed in relief but kept glancing back through the mirror. Wondering if there was more, Jaeyoon met his eyes through the mirror.

“You’re not hiding anything from me, right?”

Jaeyoon frowned, prompting the manager to continue quickly.

“No, it’s just that Kangyoon mentioned Hanjun came by and talked about perfume. He was so stern about not letting you use it, it scared me a bit. You know how he can be. Beyond being stern, he can be chilling. Maybe because he’s an alpha? It’s quite intimidating sometimes.”

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

Jaeyoon fell silent. The manager didn’t seem suspicious about the perfume, but his heart sank a bit. Hearing about Kangyoon’s sternness reminded him of their encounter with Hanjun last evening. Hanjun’s reaction was intense, but Jaeyoon also felt suppressed by Kangyoon’s alpha pheromones.

Knowing Lee Kangyoon was an alpha was one thing, but feeling it was another. Kangyoon had never displayed his alpha pheromones to the members, and none of them were omegas, so they never experienced his rut or heat cycle.

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

So, he’s an Alpha. An Alpha strong enough to intimidate someone like Hanjun. The thought that Hanjun, who lived thinking he was the best, might have held back only in front of Kangyoon because of being overpowered by Alpha pheromones made Kangyoon chuckle lightly.

“What do you think would happen if Kangyoon found out you were an Omega?”

While Jaeyoon was lost in thought, his manager casually threw out the question.

“I don’t know.”

He hadn’t thought about it. Even now, he was doing his best to hide the fact that he was an Omega. Though, at the same time, he was also desperately trying to seduce Kangyoon.

“Judging by how he called yesterday and what he said, I feel like he wouldn’t let you take part in this movie if he found out you were an Omega.”

“Why would Kangyoon Hyung care?”

“Why? Because Alphas have that particular possessive instinct. When they think something is ‘theirs,’ they never want to let anyone else have it.”

“Are you writing a novel? As if Kangyoon Hyung would act like that.”

“You never know. The more composed someone seems, like Kangyoon, the crazier they can get when they find someone to fixate on. You see it a lot in movies or novels. The moment they realize their childhood friend is an Omega, they become frantic, terrified of losing them to someone else. Friendship suddenly turns into love.”

The manager was laughing as he spoke, but Jaeyoon couldn’t laugh along.

“That’s not it. That’s not what’s good about being an Omega.”

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

If the good thing about being an Omega was simply that someone would notice you for it, then any Omega could catch his attention. And Jaeyoon hated that. He didn’t want Kangyoon to look at him just because he was an Omega.

“Lee Kangyoon? Nice to meet you.”

As they arrived at the filming set, a producer from the production company who had been waiting greeted Kangyoon.

“Wow, you’re even more handsome in person than on screen. You’re tall, have a great build. Why aren’t you an actor? You could act alongside Jaeyoon.”

When Kangyoon merely gave a polite nod, the producer poured out compliments, seemingly to lighten the mood.

“I don’t know how to do anything besides music.”

At his curt reply, the producer chuckled warmly.

“Saying you don’t know how to do anything besides music is too modest. In our industry, there’s a saying that any project with a Lee Kangyoon track is destined for success.”

“The reason I asked you to come here is that seeing the atmosphere on set might help you capture the vibe for your music. By the way, there’s a kiss scene being filmed today with Yoon Jaeyoon. Did you hear about it?”

Kangyoon shook his head. He only knew that the film included kisses and sex scenes but hadn’t asked when they’d be shot. Jaeyoon hadn’t bothered to tell him the details, either.

For the best reading experience, visit lilyonthevalley.com

“Well, there are so many kiss scenes in this movie they’re almost countless. It’s quite a steamy film, so we were a little worried if Yoon Jaeyoon could pull it off. But turns out we didn’t need to worry. Wow, the sensuality he’s exuding is no joke. Of course, Choi Sunghyun is guiding him well, but you can really see the progress day by day. Honestly, just watching them makes my heart flutter.”

The producer had meant it as a positive reflection of the film’s potential, but for some reason, Kangyoon felt unsettled hearing it. Why? When Jaeyoon had told him it was a steamy movie, it hadn’t bothered him at all.

“That’s the set over there. Here’s your staff badge. I won’t follow you around so you can move freely. If you need anything, just let me know.”

Kangyoon had been worried that the producer might stick to him, talking incessantly, but either because they understood his personality or because they were busy, they left after guiding him to the set.

Walking further along the path, Kangyoon saw a set where the staff were gathered. He stopped at the entrance and peered inside. The camera was focused on Jaeyoon and Choi Sunghyun, who were in a tense confrontation.

“Choose me.”

Choi Sunghyun’s low growl resonated with intensity.

“Make me your partner.”

It was a short line, but the palpable obsession in his tone sent shivers down Kangyoon’s spine. Actors were truly incredible. Kangyoon was impressed and simultaneously amazed at how Jaeyoon could act opposite someone like that.

“Why should I?”

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

Jaeyoon retorted, looking up at Choi Sunghyun with defiance. Choi Sunghyun’s lips curled into a crooked smile, entirely different from his usually kind and gentle image. His eyes burned with a fierce light as he gazed at Jaeyoon. Suddenly, an overwhelming Alpha pheromone radiated from him, filled with possessiveness. Most of the staff didn’t seem to notice, but anyone who was an Alpha or Omega would have felt it unmistakably.

Kangyoon narrowed his eyes, gazing intently at Jaeyoon.

If, by some impossible chance—though it could never happen—Jaeyoon really were an Omega, he would falter before those pheromones.

“Ugh…”

Jaeyoon let out a short groan and sharply turned his head, as if unable to endure it.

“Don’t look away.”

Choi Sunghyun grabbed Jaeyoon’s chin, forcing him to lift his head, and pressed their lips together. Jaeyoon’s eyes widened as he pushed against Choi Sunghyun’s shoulders, but as the kiss grew more intense, the hands that had been trying to push him away clutched at his collar instead.

“Haa…”

When their lips finally parted, Jaeyoon exhaled heavily, looking up at Choi Sunghyun. Jaeyoon’s eyes wavered, and as they met Choi Sunghyun’s gaze, they grew conflicted, his expression twisting. An Omega resisting but wavering under the influence of Alpha pheromones—it was a perfect embodiment of that image. Kangyoon felt a heavy weight, like a stone pressing down on his chest.

Jaeyoon’s flushed lips trembled slightly as he caught his breath. Kangyoon couldn’t tear his eyes away from them, glistening with saliva. The fact that another Alpha had caused that heat, and not him, made his chest tighten unbearably.

With a long sigh, Kangyoon took off the headset he had been wearing and set it down. The music hadn’t registered with him for a while now. Ever since the kiss scene at the set, all he could see in his mind was Jaeyoon looking up at Choi Sunghyun.

“Don’t you think Jaeyoon acts too well? At times like this, he really seems like an Omega.”

No matter how he thought about it, the expression Jaeyoon had shown looked like he was reacting to an Alpha’s pheromones. The teary eyes shimmering after the passionate kiss, the flushed lips, and the slightly reddened cheeks—it all screamed Omega. At least to Kangyoon. Moreover, Choi Sunghyun had unmistakably released Alpha pheromones. Whether it was deliberate or because he was caught up in the scene, Kangyoon couldn’t tell.

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

Yet, the staff and other actors all praised Jaeyoon for “perfectly portraying the role of an Omega.”

Was it acting? This wasn’t the Jaeyoon Kangyoon knew. But that made sense. The Jaeyoon Kangyoon knew was the idol from their group days. Kangyoon had never seen Jaeyoon act in person. Occasionally, he had caught glimpses on TV or the movie screen, but never anything as intense as this.

Maybe seeing it live made it hit differently. The fact that all of it was acting—it was hard to believe. Why did it feel like a massive thorn was stuck in his throat, nagging at him?

The memory of Choi Sunghyun kissing Jaeyoon flashed through his mind, making his chest ache again. Even though he knew it was just acting, the sense of discomfort—like something that belonged to him had been taken—wouldn’t go away.

His? That was a laughable thought. Yoon Jaeyoon wasn’t his.

“Do you want to sleep with me?”

The words Jaeyoon had casually thrown out a few days ago resurfaced, and Kangyoon let out a dry laugh. Sleep with him? He’d never even entertained the idea. But now, he wondered if it might actually be possible.

Clearly, he was being swayed. He couldn’t maintain his composure against Jaeyoon’s provocations anymore.

A bed scene with Choi Sunghyun and Jaeyoon… The thought of Jaeyoon, stripped bare and pinned beneath Choi Sunghyun, gasping, made Kangyoon’s breath hitch. The absurdity of his own reaction made him laugh bitterly again.

Shaking his head, he tried to rid himself of such unnecessary thoughts.

“Have you ever been so obsessed with someone that it feels suffocating? That’s the kind of emotion we want captured.”

Haa.

A heavy sigh escaped him again. It was still uncomfortable. The fact that he couldn’t pinpoint the source of his discomfort made it all the more aggravating.

As the film’s shooting progressed, Jaeyoon’s return home grew later and later. Nearing midnight, Jaeyoon finally arrived at Kangyoon’s house, shrugging off his jacket and tossing it onto the living room sofa as he called out. The lights were on, so Kangyoon had to be home, but there was no response.

After checking the living room, kitchen, and even Kangyoon’s workspace without success, Jaeyoon went into the bedroom, only to find it empty as well. Where could he have gone at this hour? His question was answered by the sound of running water from the en suite bathroom. Kangyoon must have been delayed by work and was taking a late shower.

After a moment of deliberation, Jaeyoon smirked and began unbuttoning his shirt. He slipped off his pants and hesitated, fingers hooked on the waistband of his underwear. Going any further seemed a bit too much, so he stopped there.

The bathroom door wasn’t locked. Whether it was broken or just never used since Kangyoon lived alone, the door opened easily.

“Kangyoon Hyung.”

As Jaeyoon stepped inside and called out, Kangyoon, standing under the shower, turned to look. Startled by the intrusion, he stared blankly without a word, neither asking why Jaeyoon had come in nor saying anything else.

“Let’s shower together.”

“Back then… Haa, do whatever you want.”

Kangyoon, seemingly about to say more, swallowed his words and shook his head in resignation. With Jaeyoon already inside the shower booth, it seemed too much trouble to push him out. Instead of further arguing, his gaze slid downward and stopped at Jaeyoon’s underwear.

“If you’re going to shower, do it properly.”

Kangyoon frowned, as if to ask what he was playing at. Fair enough—he couldn’t really shower like this. Jaeyoon nodded obediently and slid off his underwear. Hot water poured from the showerhead, filling the booth with thick steam. Since Kangyoon wasn’t likely to stare at his body, it felt less awkward to undress here.

As he bent over to remove his underwear, he bumped into Kangyoon. His arm accidentally brushed against Kangyoon’s thigh, and when his hand grazed bare skin, he flinched reflexively. Don’t think about it. Thinking about it will make him suspicious. Jaeyoon shoved aside his pounding heart, tossed his underwear outside the shower booth, and stood up.

“Should I scrub your back?”

Seeing Kangyoon squeeze body wash onto a loofah after rinsing his hair, Jaeyoon made the offer.

“No need.”

“You can’t reach the middle of your back properly. Give it here—I’ll do it for you.”

Before Kangyoon could refuse again, Jaeyoon quickly took the loofah from his hands. Turning Kangyoon around, he began scrubbing his back. Kangyoon, realizing it was pointless to argue further, stayed still as Jaeyoon worked.

The loofah wasn’t the only thing touching him—Jaeyoon’s fingers occasionally brushed against Kangyoon’s back. Though he likely exercised less now, his back muscles were still well-defined.

“Since I started, I might as well go all out.”

Before Kangyoon could finish, Jaeyoon grabbed his shoulders and spun him around. Though he wanted to escape the temptation of Kangyoon’s back muscles, it turned out to be a mistake. The front was even harder to look away from. How did someone who mostly sat in a recording studio end up with abs like these? The sight of the perfectly defined six-pack left Jaeyoon speechless. He froze, loofah in hand.

“Yoon Jaeyoon.”

The low, exasperated call snapped Jaeyoon out of his daze. Hastily, he pressed the loofah against Kangyoon’s chest and started scrubbing. Kangyoon, perhaps deciding to let him do as he pleased, stood quietly. Jaeyoon worked his way from the area where his neck and shoulders connected, over his broad chest, and down to his firm abdomen. Only the area below Kangyoon’s waist was left now.

Being told he couldn’t do it sparked a needless stubbornness in Jaeyoon. He looked up at Kangyoon with a bright smile and lowered his hand. Lathering soap across Kangyoon’s pelvis and lower abdomen, he slid his hand down toward his thighs. Kneeling to better reach Kangyoon’s legs, Jaeyoon suddenly froze, eyes widening.

Kangyoon’s groin was right in front of his face. The sight of it, already half-hard, made him swallow dryly. “Full service,” huh… Does that mean I can touch there too?

In mere seconds, his mind filled with all sorts of fantasies. He imagined wrapping a hand around it, opening his mouth, and taking it in—only to stop himself mid-thought. Wow, you’re really desperate, huh? Jaeyoon chuckled quietly, shaking his head. When he looked up, his eyes met Kangyoon’s.

Kangyoon was staring directly at him, and slowly, a smile crept onto Jaeyoon’s lips.

Though he had boldly asked, in reality, Jaeyoon was quite nervous. His fingertips trembled slightly as he prepared to grasp it. He moistened his dry lips with his tongue, inhaled softly through his nose, and carefully wrapped his palm around Kangyoon’s length. He took a short breath in surprise.

It was hotter than he’d expected. While it shouldn’t feel any different from his own, the heat radiating through his palm filled him with tension, making his heart race like it might burst.

If this goes inside me… if Kangyoon Hyung puts this into me…

Though Jaeyoon had never truly embraced his identity as an omega, in that moment, an overwhelming desire consumed him. He wanted Kangyoon. Not just his affection, but his body—his entire being.

The sound of water cascading from the showerhead echoed unnaturally loudly. The steamy air in the booth felt disconnected from the rest of the world.

Thank goodness—it reacts to my touch. I guess he doesn’t hate it.

Before Kangyoon could respond, Jaeyoon’s tongue flicked out to lick the tip. Kangyoon’s hips jerked reflexively, his back bumping against the shower wall.

The head of it was smoother than Jaeyoon had imagined. Though he thought he might feel repulsed by having another man in his mouth, the fact that it was Kangyoon changed everything. Instead, an unexpected desire to take it fully into his mouth burned stronger.

Opening wider, Jaeyoon took more of Kangyoon’s length into his mouth. His tongue swirled along the shaft, eliciting a deep breath from Kangyoon.

What kind of face was Kangyoon making right now? Curious, Jaeyoon glanced up, locking eyes with him again.

It didn’t feel like Lee Kangyoon. Usually unreadable, Kangyoon’s face was now twisted with raw emotion as he gazed down at Jaeyoon. His jet-black eyes gleamed, reflecting Jaeyoon’s face.

Kangyoon extended a hand, his fingers threading through Jaeyoon’s damp hair. Even the touch of his hand felt searingly hot.

Realizing Kangyoon was aroused because of him, Jaeyoon felt a flicker of hope. Maybe, just maybe, if he kept going, this could escalate into something more intimate.

But as Jaeyoon began to move his head, Kangyoon’s grip on his hair tightened.

“Stop.”

The voice that fell from above was cold enough to extinguish all the heat that had built up. Frozen, Jaeyoon barely had time to react before Kangyoon pulled him away, slipping out of Jaeyoon’s grasp. He grabbed Jaeyoon’s arm and pulled him to his feet.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to—”

Before Jaeyoon could finish apologizing, Kangyoon grabbed the back of his head and crushed their lips together.

Kangyoon’s tongue forced its way into Jaeyoon’s mouth, exploring without restraint. It slid across the roof of Jaeyoon’s mouth, under his tongue, and everywhere in between. Grabbing Jaeyoon’s tongue, Kangyoon sucked on it firmly, enough to cause a sharp ache that made Jaeyoon whimper. Easing the pressure only slightly, Kangyoon continued to lap at Jaeyoon’s lips and tongue.

I feel like I’m going to be devoured.

The fear that hadn’t overwhelmed him even during a heated kiss with Choi Sunghyun on set now engulfed his entire body. However, it wasn’t purely fear—it was fear laced with a euphoria as if his desires were being fulfilled.

The kiss lengthened to the point of leaving him breathless. He pressed against Kangyoon’s shoulders to pull away, but they didn’t budge. Not that there was any real determination in the push to begin with.

“Uhng!”

A moan escaped through the slight gap that formed when he managed to turn his head. Even from the kiss alone, his legs felt weak, as though he might collapse. The stifling steam within the shower booth only exacerbated the dizziness that began to creep in.

As his body started to falter, Kangyoon slid a thigh between Jaeyoon’s legs to support him. But the friction of Kangyoon’s thigh against his center only made Jaeyoon feel even more lightheaded.

“Kangyoon hyung…”

He murmured his name aimlessly, shaking his head, and Kangyoon’s lips trailed down his neck. At the same time, Kangyoon’s hand gripped Jaeyoon’s center. The unexpected stimulation caused him to shudder violently.

Kangyoon squeezed and released repeatedly, a teasing rhythm that made Jaeyoon’s core flood with heat in an instant. As Kangyoon’s thumb teased his tip and his hand moved along the length, an unbearable frustration began to simmer deep within Jaeyoon. Without realizing it, he clung to Kangyoon, draping his arms around him. The sensation of their bare skin brushing against one another ignited an even stronger longing for him.

Pressing his forehead against Kangyoon’s shoulder, Jaeyoon gasped for air.

Then Kangyoon took Jaeyoon’s hand and guided it, wrapping it around both his own fully erect length and Jaeyoon’s. Covering Jaeyoon’s hand with his own, Kangyoon began to move them swiftly up and down. The wet, slick sound of friction filled the steamy shower booth, blending with Jaeyoon’s ragged breaths.

“W-wait, I don’t like… Ahng!”

Jaeyoon attempted to push Kangyoon’s shoulders away, but instead, his body stiffened, and he let out a sharp moan. In that instant, hot release spilled from beneath their hands. Whether it was only his own or if Kangyoon’s was mixed in, he couldn’t tell. What was clear, though, was that Kangyoon’s length remained hard, veins standing out along its surface.

Panting heavily, Jaeyoon gradually regained his senses. Looking up, he noticed Kangyoon was also breathing hard, holding onto Jaeyoon’s shoulders.

“Kangyoon hyung…”

His body still trembled from the aftereffects of climax, yet the urge to reach out and cup Kangyoon’s face overtook him. But before he could make contact, Kangyoon caught his wrist and gently lowered it.

“Sorry.”

That was all Kangyoon said before leaving the bathroom. Jaeyoon was left behind, staring at the closed bathroom door. His legs finally gave out, and he slumped to the floor. The shower’s steady stream continued to fall over his head, but he couldn’t summon the energy to move away.

“What are you apologizing for?”

He muttered to himself, a bitter laugh escaping his lips.

Even if it was just impulsive, Jaeyoon had hoped Kangyoon would give in to him. He didn’t care if it was only lust. If Kangyoon had looked at him with desire, even briefly, Jaeyoon believed that a romantic relationship could start from there.

But apparently, it wasn’t meant to be. Despite being that aroused, despite clearly feeling desire, Kangyoon had still pushed him away.

Should I really resort to using my omega traits now?

It was a thought he would never entertain under normal circumstances. But the absurdity of his desperation made him chuckle bitterly. How pathetic must he be to consider relying on some ridiculous omega pheromones? If he was going to be an omega, why couldn’t he exude overwhelming pheromones that drove others insane? If he could, maybe Kangyoon would have lost his composure and taken him right then and there.

A half-hearted omega with half-hearted convictions…

He let out a long sigh. Even now, unable to give up on Kangyoon, he found himself laughing at his own foolishness.

After drying himself off haphazardly, Jaeyoon stepped out of the bathroom to find that Kangyoon was no longer in the bedroom. On a whim, he checked the living room, but Kangyoon wasn’t there either. Scanning the area, Jaeyoon noticed a sliver of white light seeping from the crack in Kangyoon’s studio door. He approached and knocked softly.

“Not sleeping? It’s past midnight.”

“Go to bed. I’ll finish this and come later.”

The response was as curt and distant as usual.

What are you even working on? Is it something that important? You were showering earlier—how could you have been working?

Despite the numerous retorts swirling in his head, Jaeyoon remained silent and walked away.

Of course, Kangyoon wouldn’t want to share a bed right now. That’s understandable. Still, he’s aware of me—whether it’s in a good way or a bad way.

Even if he acts like nothing happened, Kangyoon was clearly affected. That was better than erasing the incident entirely. At least he acknowledged that Jaeyoon could be an object of desire for him. For that alone, Jaeyoon didn’t regret what he had done.

An hour later, once the world outside fell silent, Kangyoon finally emerged from his studio. Both the living room and bedroom were dark and quiet. In the stillness of the night, even his footsteps seemed loud.
