VDN Ch 45

Placing both hands on Nam-woon’s waist, Deok-chil began to knead his flesh.

“Haah….”

“Feeling good?”

“Ugh… Ahh….”

“Wow, it’s really stiff here.”

“Ah… Oh… Really?”

“Yeah. Especially here.”

“Ugh! Right there…!”

Thunk!

Just as Nam-woon was receiving the massage, a loud noise came crashing down. Nam-woon slightly raised his body, and Deok-chil yelled toward the source of the noise.

“What the hell, What happened?!”

“…….”

Kwon Seo-oh stood in front of his desk, glaring at them. From the looks of the thick books scattered on the floor, it seemed like he had stood up and knocked them over. Nam-woon, feeling the intense gaze from Seo-oh, quickly lay back down on the sofa.

“Deok-chil, keep going.”

At that moment, Seo-oh approached them and firmly grabbed Deok-chil’s hand. Deok-chil’s eyebrows furrowed on his forehead.

“What is it?”

“Stop.”

“What did you say?”

“I’ll do it.”

Those sudden words left everyone speechless. Deok-chil rolled his eyes and looked Seo-oh up and down, then asked as if he had realized something.

“Do you have a massage certificate too?”

“…uh.”

Nam-woon was surprised inwardly. A massage certificate? Well, he himself had once considered getting a certification to earn money. It was for heavy equipment operation and although there was government support, he ultimately gave up due to the cost and time involved.

But Kwon Seo-oh is giving massages?

“That’s so not him.”

What he was thinking in his mind suddenly came out of his mouth. Next to him, Deok-chil chuckled in agreement and Seo-oh opened his eyes wide. Sensing Seo-oh’s mood darkening, Nam-woon hastily tried to recover.

“Okay, give it a try.”

Deok-chil reluctantly descended from Nam-woon’s back. However, after waiting for a while without feeling any movement, Nam-woon turned his head, only to find Seo-oh standing there, staring fixedly at Nam-woon’s waist.

“What are you doing?”

“Turn your head.”

After resting his forehead on the sofa for a moment, Nam-woon felt a heavy weight that couldn’t be compared to Deok-chil’s weight pressing down on him. Eventually, Seo-oh’s hand gently touched his waist. The warm, large hand began to knead Nam-woon’s waist with a comforting rhythm.

“Eugh, uh, aah….” Every time Seo-oh’s hand moved, involuntary moans escaped Nam-woon’s lips. Then, amidst the firm fingers massaging his waist, there was a momentary pause. Suddenly, a loud groan erupted as Seo-oh’s hand grazed his right hip.

“Ugh!”

As if Seo-oh had pressed the pause button, his hand stopped momentarily. Nam-woon urged him,

“Seo-oh… Um, there, keep going.”

Prompted by Nam-woon, the large hand began to move again, slowly and more gently than before. Despite trying to endure it, Nam-woon couldn’t help but open his lips to the pain and relief.

“Haah… eugh….”

“…….”

“Ah… haa….”

Kwon Seo-oh, you really did have a massage certificate.

With a strength incomparable to Deok-chil’s, Seo-oh’s hands skillfully released the knots in Nam-woon’s muscles. Adjusting his position, Seo-oh’s body rose slightly, and his thick, firm thigh pressed against Nam-woon’s lower body.

“You’re really good at this… ugh….”

“Hoo….”

Seo-oh, too, let out a deep sigh, indicating that the massage was quite demanding. Deok-chil, who had forgotten to chew his candy, was staring at them with his mouth open.

Then it happened.

[Warning! Kwon Seo-oh does not give massages to Seok Nam-woon!]

[Support activated.]

[Pheromone Sensitivity: 33%]

“……!”

No, Kwon Seo-oh said he would give the massage, so why? The tyranny of the system was ridiculous. Moreover, this happened right after just one single warning.

A sweet fragrance filled Nam-woon’s nostrils, it was similar to before. Along with the fresh grass scent, a rich floral aroma seemed to reach his brain.

“Ha.”

A shallow breath, different from when receiving a massage, escaped his lips. Seo-oh’s hand movements felt different from before. Gently stroking with his large hand and occasionally applying pressure, it felt incredibly stimulating and exciting.

As he received the massage, a shallow breath escaped his lips, quite different from the ones he had been letting out earlier. Somehow, Seo-oh’s hand movements also felt different from before.

Ticklish. Nam-woon couldn’t specify where, but a tingling sensation spread, causing him to move his body involuntarily.

Oh, why is this happening.

He stopped moving suddenly. Huh, something feels strange? At the same time, an indescribable sensation tightened around his buttocks. Suddenly, Nam-woon sat up, and Seo-oh, who had been atop him, also shifted his body with a puzzled expression.

Nam-woon looked down at himself. His p*nis hadn’t risen. The strange feeling was coming from his buttocks! Nam-woon stood up from the sofa, his head lowered. Seo-oh looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked.

“Why? Does it hurt?”

“…No.”

“Where are you going?”

“To the restroom.”

Ignoring Seo-oh’s sharp gaze, Nam-woon quickly walked out of the room.

Clack. Inside the restroom stall, Nam-woon locked the door and let out a quiet groan.

“Ugh….”

Since earlier, he had been feeling a tingling sensation in his buttocks. Could it be because of lower back pain? Nam-woon leaned against the restroom wall and bent his waist slightly. Sighing, he felt his buttocks twitch involuntarily. Strange. His p*nis hadn’t risen, yet there was a growing shallow feeling in his body.

Should he see a doctor?

Ugh. After enduring and suppressing his groans for a while, Nam-woon gradually stood up as the symptoms seemed to improve. Then, with a perplexed expression, he reached back to feel his buttocks. Fortunately, there was no pain or discomfort. What the hell was it? It was a sensation he never wanted to experience again.

Watching Nam-woon suddenly leave the office, Seo-oh stared at the closed door. Was it strange that he touched him? It was a disaster.

What’s below is not a man but a piece of wood.

He was trying to brainwash himself as much as possible but it wasn’t as easy as he thought. The sleek yet masculine waistline of Seok Nam-woon under him, along with sexy moans that came out once in a while made Seo-oh dizzy, to the point where he tightly closed his eyes in the middle.

Seo-oh suddenly realized. The office was filled with his pheromones. This was undoubtedly the first time such a thing had happened. He was adept at concealing his pheromones to the point where those around him recognized him as a recessive alpha.

Could it be that Hyung left hastily because of the pheromones? But then he soon shook his head. There is no way a beta would not notice anything about pheromones. Standing up from the sofa, Seo-oh opened all the windows in the office. Deok-chil, looking dissatisfied, spoke up.

“Why are you opening the windows when there’s construction going on outside?”

“I smell cigarette smoke.”

“What? This is an office, not a smoking area! Hey, is it strong?”

When he didn’t respond, Deok-chil turned away from Seo-oh and spoke to Jang-mi.

“But Hyung, doesn’t the boss seem to have frequent back pains these days?”

“Huh? Yeah, it seems like it.”

“What on earth is he doing every night?”

Instead of answering Deok-chil, Jang-mi laughed meaningfully.

“How intense must it be for it to be like that…”

Bang! Startled by the loud noise, the two turned their heads. The drawer of the desk right in front of Seo-oh was weakly shaking.

“Hey, are you going to break all the office supplies?”

“It’s because of pulling weeds.”

“What?”

“Seok Nam-woon. It’s because of pulling weeds that his back hurts.”

“Oh… okay.”

Kwon Seo-oh sat down and opened a book with a nonchalant expression. Deok-chil looked at Jang-mi, twirled his finger next to his head, and mouthed, He’s totally crazy!

***

Drip, drip.

The rain that started lightly in the afternoon soon poured down. Seo-oh’s expression grew darker as time passed. Nam-woon, listening to the rain and looking out the window, asked,

“Kwon Seo-oh, did Se-han take an umbrella this morning?”

At that, Deok-chil and Jang-mi looked at Nam-woon with wide eyes. Seo-oh shook his head and Nam-woon handed him a plastic umbrella that was randomly placed in the office and said,

“Go pick up Se-han and in the meantime just leave the office after that.”

Yong-deuk, who returned late after finishing his errands, chimed in,

“Why don’t you go home too, young master?”

“Me? Why?”

“You’ve been too distracted today. There’s not much left to do anyway.”

After settling some accounts and reducing the principal, the workload had decreased. As soon as Yong-deuk finished speaking, Seo-oh abruptly stood up and walked past Nam-woon out of the office. Then Yong-deuk began to gently push Nam-woon’s back.

“Kwon Seo-oh is leaving. You should leave quickly too, young master.”

“Huh?”

Caught off guard, Nam-woon found himself leaving the office midway. Seeing Seo-oh going down the stairs, Nam-woon moved his feet in a daze. Ignoring Nam-woon who was following, Seo-oh unexpectedly stopped in front of a parked car. Even so, Nam-woon grabbed the handle of his bicycle parked right in front of the building.

Then Kwon Seo-oh spoke with disapproval.

“It’s raining, why a bicycle?”

“I ride my bicycle even on rainy days.”

“Come on, hurry up.”

Nam-woon slowly approached the car and asked,

“Should we just take a taxi?”

Without responding, Seo-oh climbed into the passenger seat first. After hesitating for a moment, Nam-woon opened the car door. It was just for a moment, what could possibly happen?

It was off-peak hours and the road was quiet because of the rain that had been falling since morning. The inside of the car was filled with the sound of rain. Nam-woon, feeling his heart pounding, gripped the steering wheel tightly and drove slowly.

“Hyung.”

He was so nervous that he could hardly hear Kwon Seo-oh calling him. “Hyung” he called again.

“Should I make some stew today since it’s raining?”

“Ah.”

Even as he answered his hands were brewing with sweat. He couldn’t properly hear the rest of Seo-oh’s words. Seo-oh unusually kept asking questions, and Nam-woon looked at the traffic lights with trembling eyes. From red to green. It was the moment Nam-woon pressed the accelerator gently, increasing the speed at the changed signal.

Screech-!

Suddenly, a truck darted in front of the car, and he had to brake urgently. As the truck cut in, Seo-oh stretched out his arm in front of Nam-woon to protect him. Fortunately, there were no other cars on the road, so it didn’t lead to an accident, but there was another problem.

“Hyung?”

Nam-woon was trembling and barely managed to stop the car on the side of the road. Then he buried his head in the steering wheel. He was gasping for breath. His heart was pounding as if it would burst, and sweat broke out all over his body. The breaths he couldn’t swallow were exhaled heavily. Red afterimages flashed through Nam-woon’s closed eyes.

Cars stopped on the road—an overturned black car and a man covered in blood inside.

“Oh my, it looks like there was a big accident.”

The murmuring voices of the people and

“That car… It looks like my dad’s car.”

His own voice was muttering softly.

“Ugh.”

Nam-woon clutched his chest in agony.
