chapter 54

(sorry for delay but here. I updated one extra chapter as compensation 😉)

Shin Tae-oh had always considered the desire to see someone as an unfulfilled wish. It had been the pattern of his life, filled with disappointment and resignation.

Everything seemed predetermined, but whenever it came to crucial moments, the world always betrayed him.

But why was Ahn Se-hyeon standing right in front of him? Why was his heart racing and his mind in disarray?

While Shin Tae-oh's expectations were fluttering, Se-hyeon turned around for a moment, contemplating, before letting out a sigh.

"Should I leave again?"

No, it's already strange to have come this far and then leave.

"I've come back."

Upon Se-hyeon's greeting, Shin Tae-oh let out a bitter laugh.

"You know why I sent you away."

"I know, but let's move on to the next step."

Se-hyeon stepped inside, pulling out his phone to check the time. It seemed like he had set a timer to ensure that Shin Tae-oh could see it.

"Just endure for another 35 minutes."

The time Shin Tae-oh had endured alone until now had been remarkable. And he felt sorry for being so visibly indecisive and agonizing. Perhaps leaning against the pillow was the best he could do.

Shin tae-oh's flushed face right now...and below as well.

The pheromones that lingered in the room were like a dense fog. Whether it was just Se-hyeon's illusion or his perception that wavered as he was exposed to the pheromones, it felt like his vision was blurry right in front of him.

"You've endured well until now..."

Se-hyeon took out a handkerchief from his pocket and covered his own nose and mouth as he spoke. Looking at Shin Tae-oh's appearance, it hadn't changed much. Other than being slightly disheveled from movement, it seemed like Tae-oh hadn't laid a finger on his body.

"Well, you're the one who endured until the end, even as an omega in heat."

At this moment, Shin Tae-oh's fingertips were tingling with the pheromones of the aroused alpha. He hadn't even taken off his shoes yet, but his toes were curling, and his center of gravity had become solid.

"It's dangerous."

"It's okay for you to leave. I can endure it alone."

"This statement just now..."

Se-hyeon took another step closer.

"Wouldn't it be sweeter if you say you'll double my salary?"

Shin Tae-oh really trembled.

In response to Se-hyeon's answer, Shin Tae-oh forced a smile with a face dampened by cold sweat.

Was it funny that he was trying so hard to remain calm and speak?

"I have just one question. Is it okay if we don't do anything and just wait?"Se-hyeon asked.

"Not do anything...?"

Shin Tae-oh replied with a somewhat dazed expression, which seemed out of place considering the current situation. It looked pure...

I must be crazy.

There was no doubt that Se-hyeon had been affected by the pheromones.

"I'm just asking if it's enough for you to hold my hand." Se-hyeon asked while try to stay clam.

"Ah..."

Shin Tae-oh pondered Se-hyeon's words, shaking his head.

Was this such a difficult question?

It was no different from his usual words...

"Boss."

"Yeah?"

Se-hyeon held Shin Tae-oh's face, preventing him from bowing his head.

"Why?"

Shin Tae-oh looked at Se-hyeon with a more relaxed expression than before and smiled. Se-hyeon forced himself to break away from the thought that Shin Tae-oh's smile was beautiful, seeing Shin Tae-oh's vision becoming hazy.

"It's not just about enduring well."

The pheromones that permeated the room didn't burden only Se-hyeon. They had pressed down on Shin Tae-oh so strongly that he felt suffocated. And it seemed like Shin Tae-oh had reached his limit.

"Boss."

Se-hyeon called out to Shin Tae-oh with an anxious look. Even though Shin Tae-oh wasn't looking at himself in that way, he was the only one Se-hyeon could call out to right now.

"I don't know how much of what I learned in theory will actually work."

Se-hyeon had lived as a beta despite having the traits of an omega. Sometimes he would be taken aback when he realized he was an omega.

"If only it weren't just me, Tae-oh."

If he hadn't thought of staying by shin tae-oh's side for a lifetime, he wouldn't have made this decision.

"If only... it weren't just me.....Focus!"

Se-hyeon quickly released his pheromones before his mind could change. It was the first time he voluntarily released his pheromones in front of someone, so he

stumbled for a moment, but soon adapted.

The pheromones that escaped from his body spread out like mist.

"Huh?"

Feeling Se-hyeon's pheromones with heightened sensitivity, Shin Tae-oh let out a soft whimper.

"This is driving me crazy."

"Don't miss a single thing and stick to me closely."

Se-hyeon told Shin Tae-oh, focusing as much as possible on releasing his pheromones.

When an alpha's pheromones encounter an omega's pheromones, they cling to each other.

They move away from Shin Tae-oh and come closer to me. The danger of the rut cycle for the alpha wasn't just the pheromones increasing several times. It was the pheromones that couldn't find an outlet, eventually attacking themselves and shaking their own brains. That's

why alphas go crazy when the rut hits...

"What am I doing right now?"

This wasn't what I studied for, yet I'm reciting theories about the rut cycle in my head.

Anyway, after pushing away the pheromones from Shin Tae-oh, Se-hyeon grabbed his neck. His pulse was racing. Shin Tae-oh seemed to take an eternity just to lift a hand, but his body was racing at an incredibly fast pace.

"You mustn't die."Se-hyeon asked worriedly.

"I... won't... die."

"I want to live a peaceful life with you in the future."

First, Se-hyeon undressed Shin Tae-oh, removing his outerwear and loosening his tie.

"I want to live a life where I can suck honey through a straw from the boss and end it."

That became the desire I had as I possessed the character called Ahn Se-hyeon, and I lived and worked hard for it. Watching from Shin Tae-oh's side was the most enjoyable thing in both my past life and present life. My life before becoming Ahn Se-hyeon was dull and meaningless. So I didn't want anything to disrupt my current lifestyle.

By unbuttoning his tight shirt, Se-hyeon helped him breathe.

"You... little... devil..."

Shin Tae-oh teased him to the point where he couldn't even flick a finger.

"Yes, my intentions are very wicked. So our Taenyangi must never go crazy or collapse."

If he goes crazy, he can't be the boss. If he collapses, he can't be the boss either.

After lowering the buckle and completely unzipping it, Se-hyeon let out a long, tense breath.

As he had rummaged through his clothes to some extent, Shin Tae-oh's complexion, which seemed like he would collapse at any moment, improved slightly.

Perhaps my pheromones had the greatest influence. Because the alpha's cure is the omega.

"Have you regained your senses?"

"To some extent."

"Then you probably don't remember what I just said."

Se-hyeon muttered straw, honey, and other words, shamelessly. Ignoring Shin Tae-oh, Se-hyeon placed his hands in front of him, palms facing left and right.

"I've regained my senses..."

Shin Tae-oh furrowed his brows and spoke, and Se-hyeon lowered his head.

"I'm showing you that I'm clean. I stopped by the restroom on the way here and washed up."

"...."

Seeing Shin Tae-oh's puzzled expression at the mention of cleanliness, Se-hyeon replied seriously.

"I'm about to touch what belongs to the boss. Is that okay with you?"

Knowing that pushing away pheromones was not enough, I had prepared in advance. Well, it was just washing my hands thoroughly with soap.

"If you can handle it on your own, I'll cheer you on, but it doesn't seem like you're in that state."

Se-hyeon, with his clean hands held up, looked at the swollen center of Shin Tae-oh in his pants.

I had mentally prepared myself, but now that I was actually looking at it, it made me dizzy. It felt like something just stirred inside his underwear...

"You seem tense when you look at it."Shin Tae-oh joked.

"I'm nervous. It's my first time."

I had a dream about drying chili peppers at some point. Was that a premonition?

Now I have to dry Shin Tae-oh's chili pepper.

Se-hyeon tightly closed his eyes and placed his hands on Shin Tae-oh's body. His hands first touched his ripped abs, and as they slid down, his wrist was grabbed.

"Boss."

"You don't have to force yourself."

It was Shin Tae-oh. He spoke casually with a face drenched in sweat.

"Don't you feel like you're going to die, boss?"

"Not to the point of dying, but I feel like I might explode."

"Then why are you trying to restrain me right now?"

"I don't want to make it hard for you, Se-hyeon."

Watching Shin Tae-oh's weak laughter, Se-hyeon burst into laughter, looking arrogant to anyone who saw him.

"I don't want Tae-oh to be in pain either. What if his chili pepper bursts?"

I had already spoken informally to Shin Tae-oh several times. Every time, Shin Tae-oh found it amusing, but this time he was surprised and didn't react at all.

Is it because of the rut this time? Are you trying to put me in my place again?

"Um, it's really embarrassing when you say it like that."

Shin Tae-oh used the hand that had held Se-hyeon's wrist to cover his face. It was then that Se-hyeon slipped his hand into his pants.

I hesitated for a moment in my prickly scheme and was surprised by the heat of his flesh. It was a relief that there was something more surprising than touching someone else's chili pepper.

"Isn't this going to melt?"

"Oh, please... It's a serious situation, don't make jokes."

As Shin Tae-oh squirmed and laughed, the chili pepper in my hand vibrated along with it.

Since it was moving on its own, Se-hyeon stayed still. Right now, it was more important to adapt to someone else's chili pepper than to move it.

The aversion to touching something that didn't belong to me disappeared because it was Shin Tae-oh's. And aside from the concern that it might melt, the grip wasn't bad due to the soft skin. Moreover...

'I thought it would be a size that matches his build.'

With a height of 190 centimeters, broad shoulders, and a solid upper body, I thought it would be larger than myself, but it was quite substantial. Even though I grasped it tightly, my thumb and middle finger didn't touch.

Anyway, as I held it, courage began to boil inside me. Think of it as a stick. Just swing that stick and extract the pheromones.

"I might feel awkward. If it hurts, raise your left hand."

While laughing, I slowly moved my hand, noticing that Shin Tae-oh's left hand was trembling, but obediently resting.

I needed to calm down this chili pepper right away...

'And calm down my own chili pepper too.'

To snap out of the influence of the alpha's pheromones, I bit my lip.
