chapter 6

Shin Tae-oh's answer was faster than my concerns.

"I don't do one-night stands."

It's true. When I was looking for a hotel, I thought he was a pervert, but I had no idea he would answer like this.

"If they say it's okay, they will want to hug me and sleep, but I don't really like the feeling. I can't imagine. If it's good for me, I  like to first consider the future I have with that person."

Was Shin Tae-oh like that?

"I think about looking into each other's eyes, talking about things, eating, and then falling asleep together, but there is no future for one-night stands."

You can think so.

"Considering the emptiness you'll feel the next morning, it's better to do nothing."

He thinks differently from others, but he said that has to be Shin tae-oh's standard, so it wasn't something I couldn't understand. Is that why you gave Jin-ha Yu a gift like that?

If the gift was sent in hopes of imagining Jin-ha wearing gloves or eating cake together, then the back and forth of what had happened so far continued.

I thought it was just a modification, but I was becoming more and more confused.

Shin Tae-oh has feelings for Yoo Jin-ha. So, he sent Yu Jin-ha a gift as if to express his

feelings, and when his relationship with Ha Min-hyuk was not good, he thought it was an opportunity for him and expressed his feelings even more actively. Then, towards the end, I thought he was the type of person who acknowledged the love between Yoo Jin-ha and Ha Min-hyuk and coolly left...

"What were you just thinking?"

In response to Shin Tae-oh's question, Se-hyeon quickly raised his head and took a moment to decide what to say before answering.

"I thought it was cool."

"Cool uh?"

To be more precise, the question was, 'Was he this kind of character?' I felt a little sorry for thinking so pitifully of Shin Tae-oh.

"You were a really good guy."

At this point, I felt like Shin Tae-oh was even more of a waste. The story says jin-ha usually keeps this guy as his sub, but isn't that too harsh? If I were the author of this novel, I would have pick  him up and give to anyone else. It's all good, but I thought the adaptation to Yoo Jin-ha was a bit bad, but I understand that and can't find any flaws anymore.

Since he was that kind of guy, it would have been nice to meet someone who loved him, but I couldn't help but feel sorry for Tae-oh.

Anyway, Se-hyeon asked all his questions and drank the wine without hesitation. Without knowing what kind of stone he was throwing.

"That I usually...

As Shin Tae-oh kept elaborating on what he wanted to say, a different atmosphere came out than usual.

"Are you saying I wasn't cool before?"

If you are asking whether what you are doing to Eugene Ha is not enough, you can

confidently say that it is. Sorry. "I don't know what that means."

Se-hyeon shook his head, pretending not to notice. As if he don't know anything. As he was roughly showing that meaning, he felt Shin Tae-oh's gaze looking at him with his mouth shut.

"I think this is the first time I've heard that I'm cool."

"Sorry. It was presumptuous."

"I'm not saying it was presumptuous. It's a compliment, but who doesn't want to hear it? It's just that I thought I wasn't cool before."

He is surprisingly quick-witted.

"I usually have more respect for you. And it was because I had personal admiration for a person named Shin Tae-oh, not the boss."

"CEO? Shin Tae-oh? Oh, I see."

Shin Tae-oh walked around holding a glass of wine as if he understood and then stretched out his index finger.

"I seem respectable and cool to Secretary Ahn."

No. I'm just saying that I was surprised that you weren't just a pervert. I don't respect you that much. Instead of his inner conflict se-hyeon still replied politely "That's right."

"That's how you saw me."

As Shin Tae-oh was muttering in amazement, Se-hyeon also gave up on answering.

If you want to get an answer, it will take the form of a question. 'But why is it so cold?'   The temperature was supposed to be controlled, but I felt chills from earlier.

Se-hyeon looked around and saw the wine and didn't look back as if he had found the cause.

Not long after I entered the room, I started feeling cold after drinking. It seems that drinking alcohol was too much for his weakened body, which was about to suffer a heat.

Even though I was passionate about it, this was the reason why I left out the dates before and after the day of the heat cycle. This is because omegas physical condition deteriorates rapidly and there would be

immunity weakens. At this time, if you don't manage it well, you may catch a cold or you may develop inflammation. So, there was a big reason to give his body a lot of rest through rest.

'The wine smells stronger than I thought.'

I thought the wine I drank at first was quite strong. I thought the scent had already disappeared, but there was a subtle feeling.

So Se-hyeon, who swallowed a few times, looked at the cell phone reflected in the wine glass and stood up.

"Why are you getting up?"

"It's time."

He was wondering what Shin Tae-oh was talking about, and then he noticed his cell phone,which was flashing light from earlier. He has now discovered that there is a phone call because it is in silent mode.

Se-hyun was the first to see the name on the screen, so Shin Tae-oh picked up his phone without a second thought.

"Are they here?"

Shin Tae-oh, holding his outer coat, stopped Se-hyeon from following him. Although he only stretched out his hand, Se-hyeon understood what he meant and stood still. He put his cell phone to his ear and just muttered.

Se-hyeon, who roughly read the meaning of "going home," nodded, and Shin Tae-oh left the room while continuing to talk on the phone.

With the sound of the door closing, Se-hyeon pulled down his tie with a relieved sigh.

"Let's soak the body in warm water first."

After that, you can rest for a bit and then leave anyways it's not like Shin Tae-oh comes up with Yoo Jin-ha.

It was a perfect plan considering my physical condition and Shin Tae-oh wouldn't return because in original yoo jin-ha never able be spent a night with Shin Tae-oh in the hotel.

***

Shin Tae-oh, who came down first and was waiting, was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even notice who was approaching.

"Uh? "It's Tae-oh."

Yoo Jin-hyeon, who was worse off, called Shin Tae-oh first, pretending to be a coincidence, and squeezed his shoulder as if to make him come to his senses.

"Yoo Jin-hyeon?"

"What's going on here?" Yoo jin-ha asked his brother.

"I came here for a meeting... he is here too."  Shin Tae-oh smiled and welcomed Jin-ha Yoo, who followed him.

"Hello, President."

"Are you calling me the boss even on the outside?"

"Because the boss is used to it…"

Yoo Jin-ha smiled shyly and stopped talking, and Shin Tae-oh got up and made room for the two of them to sit.

"Did you have a drink alone? Shouldn't you have called me instead?"

Yoo Jin-hyeon looked at the alcohol on the table and said.

In fact, it was a fully planned script. He made it seem like something was going on and started rhyming with the intention of taking care of Yu Jin-ha and each other's hurting hearts.

"Just...It just so happened."

However, Yoo Jin-hyeon felt something strange and looked at Shin Tae-oh's expression. He felt like he was being fooled by pretending that something was really going on.

"What happened?"

"There's someone I'm worried about."

"Who?"

"Hyung, what's going on?"yoo jin-ha asked while he was taking it in moderation, Yoo Jin-ha put down the glass he had received from the employee and filled it with alcohol. And he paid attention to Shin Tae-oh's cup by filling it with alcohol. The situation itself was going as Shin Tae-oh wanted but his thoughts were somewhere else..

"I saw him before he came out, and he looked somewhat tired but I thought he just didn't like coming instead of visiting his parents... "Suddenly, shin Tae-oh seemed to be muttering to himself.

"Say it so I can understand."

Yoo Jin-hyeon noticed him and tapped his leg. Jin-ha Yoo was listening, so it was a signal for him to work on his own.

Shin Tae-oh looked at Yoo Jin-ha and said,

"I'll go to my room for a moment.'

"In your room?"

"Huh. I left something behind."

Shin Tae-oh stood up before hearing Yoo Jin-ha’s answer. And as he was walking quickly, Yoo Jin-hyeon pressed his forehead. He must have prepared a gift for his younger brother. Bring it in advance to break the mood.

"Leave Shin Tae-oh alone, how are you these days?"

"It's same as usual with me. The office worker has something else to do."

"I'm asking because I can tell it's there just by looking at its expression."

First of all, he worked hard to bring out the loneliness in Yoo Jin-ha's heart. Yoo Jin-hyeon was on Shin Tae-oh's side.

***

Even after pressing the elevator's close button, Shin Tae-oh's eyes showed a hint of nervousness as he looked at the machine moving slowly.

"It was different from the usual Secretary Ahn."

He was a person who was not disturbed even when drinking. But shin I was definitely different when he came out. His room was hot and he was sweating, and his face was especially pale. He said he always takes a break periodically and goes to see his parents every time.

Maybe he's relieving his fatigue by meeting his parents...Shin Tae-oh's heart was heavy because he felt like he had done something terrible to such a person.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Shin Tae-oh hurriedly went to his room and searched his pockets. He wondered where he had left the card key, then remembered that it had just come out earlier.

'I missed it because I was used to the secretary taking care of everything. I wondered if I should call the hotelier and get a card right now.'

Those worries faded as he approached the door. Something was blocking the small open door from closing.

Shin Tae-oh pushed it away with his foot and opened the door, quickly going inside and looking for Secretary Ahn. He was going to tell him to go home and rest.

"Secretary Ahn. Where are you?"

It seemed like it was there somewhere, but it didn't show up easily.

'Did you think I was coming with Jin-ha and left first? If it were Secretary Ahn, I think he would leave after checking... '

"Did you really go first?"

Shin Tae-oh looked around lightly and listened to Secretary Ahn's popularity. He doesn't have anyone approaching him…

"Sound of water?"

The sound of water was coming.

"Not a secretary?"

Shin Tae-oh was filled with doubts and approached the bathroom. He really shouldn't have looked at it if someone was washing, but he couldn't back down from the feeling of discomfort that was gnawing at his head from earlier.

The bathroom door was also slightly open. 'Was Secretary Ahn the kind of person who leaves the door open like this? ' Thinking about what to do, Shin Tae-oh slightly pushed the door open and saw what had happened in the bathroom.

"What could this be?"

Shin Tae-oh tilted his head to one side and muttered. When he encountered an unexpected scene, he couldn't immediately recognize the situation. So he asked

"Secretary Ahn, can you tell me the reason without gasping?"

Se-hyeon, fully clothed, was crouching under a stream of water.
