TSG 54

He had thought the desire to see him would remain an unfulfilled wish. That was his life, repeating disappointment and giving up. Everything seemed to be given to him, but the world always betrayed him at the crucial moment.

But why was Ahn Se-hyun right in front of him? Why was his heart pounding and his head got dizzy like this?

While Shin Tae-oh’s heart fluttered with anticipation, Se-hyun looked back for a moment, pondered, and then sighed.

‘Should I go back out?’

No, it would be weirder to go back out after coming this far.

“I’m back.”

Shin Tae-oh let out an empty laugh at Se-hyun’s greeting.

“You know why I sent you away.”

“I came back in knowing that, so let’s move on.”

Se-hyun came inside and checked the time on his phone. He had even set a timer and showed it to Tae-oh.

“You just have to endure for 35 more minutes.”

The time he endured alone until now was remarkable. And Se-hyun felt sorry for not deciding quickly enough, seeing how he must have suffered. Perhaps leaning against the pillow was the best he could do.

His flushed face and…

Lower down too.

The pheromones lingering in the room were like a dense fog. It felt like his vision was blurring just from being exposed to the pheromones, or perhaps it was just his illusion.

“You’ve endured well… until now.”

Se-hyun took out a handkerchief from his pocket and covered his nose and mouth. Sin Tae-oh’s attire hadn’t changed much, except for being slightly disheveled from moving.

‘Well, he’s the kind of person who endured until the end even after getting hit on by Omega pheromone in heat.’

Right now, Se-hyun’s fingertips were tingling because of the in-rut Alpha pheromones. Even without taking off his shoes yet, his toes curled and his lower body was hardening.

‘It’s dangerous.’

“It’s okay for you to leave. I can handle it on my own.”

“What you just said…”

Se-hyun took one step closer.

“Do you know that it’s sweeter than saying you’ll double my salary?”

Shin Tae-oh was really shaken.

Shin Tae-oh laughed hard at Se-hyun’s answer with a face drenched in cold sweat. Se-hyun was trying hard to stay calm. However, was it that funny?

“Let me ask one thing. Will it be okay if I just wait without doing anything?”

“Without doing…anything?”

Shin Tae-oh asked with a slightly dazed expression that looked innocently out of place given the situation…

‘I must be going crazy.’

Se-hyun must have been intoxicated by the pheromones.

“Can I just hold your hand?”

“Ah.”

Shin Tae-oh shook his head and pondered Se-hyun’s words. Was this such a difficult thing to say? It was a usual statement, but…

“Sir.”

“Yeah?”

Se-hyun held Shin Tae-oh’s face as he tried to lower his head.

“Why?”

Shin Tae-oh smiled at Se-hyun with a more relaxed face than before. Se-hyun was forced to stop thinking about how pretty that smile was when he saw Shin Tae-oh’s eyes darken.

“You didn’t endure it well.”

The pheromones that littered the room were not only burdensome to Se-hyun. The pressure was so strong that even Shin Tae-oh was suffocated. And Shin Tae-oh seems to have reached his limit.

“Sir.”

Se-hyun called out to Sin Tae-oh with anxious eyes. Though Shin Tae-oh wasn’t looking at him, he could only call him right now.

“I don’t know how effective what I learned in theory will be.”

Despite having the Omega trait all along, Se-hyun had lived his life like a Beta. Sometimes he would be startled when he realized he was an Omega.

“If only it wasn’t really Shin Tae-oh.”

If he hadn’t planned to be by Shin Tae-oh’s side for life, he wouldn’t have made this decision.

“If only… it wasn’t… me?”

“Concentrate.”

Se-hyun quickly released his pheromone before he changed his mind.

It was the first time he had voluntarily released his pheromones in front of someone, so he stuttered briefly before quickly adapting.

The pheromones escaping his body spread out like a fog.

“Ugh.”

Feeling the heightened sensitivity, Tae-oh let out a groan as he sensed Se-hyun’s pheromones.

“This is driving me crazy.”

“Don’t miss a single bit and stick to me closely.”

Se-hyun spoke to Shin Tae-oh while concentrating on releasing the pheromones as much as possible.

An Alpha’s pheromones cling to an Omega’s when they meet. They detach from Shin Tae-oh and come to Se-hyun instead. What made An alpha dangerous during their rut cycle wasn’t that their pheromones increased several times over. Pheromones that cannot find a place to release end up attacking the alpha themselves and shaking the brain. That’s why alphas go crazy when the rut comes…

“What am I doing now?”

He didn’t study for this, yet theories about the cycle that he had learned were lining up in his head.

In any case, after pushing the pheromones away from Tae-oh, he felt Shin Tae-oh’s pulse on his neck. It was racing. Shin Tae-oh looked totally limp like it would take him ages to even lift a finger, but his heart was pounding at an extremely rapid pace inside.

You can’t die.”

“I won’t…die.”

“I want to live a very peaceful life from now on.”

First, he took off Shin Tae-oh’s outerwear and pulled down his tie.

“I want to live a life sucking honey through a straw stuck into you, Sir.”

That desire became the wish he had when he became Ahn Se-hyun, and he had worked hard to achieve it. Watching Shin Tae-oh next to him was the most fun thing in this life and the past. His life before becoming Ahn Se-hyun was dry. So he didn’t want to disrupt his current life even more.

Se-hyun helped him breathe by undoing his tight shirt.

“You… naughty…kitty…”

Even in a state where he couldn’t move a single finger, Shin Tae-oh still teased him.

“Yes, I’m very naughty. So our Taenyang-i absolutely cannot go crazy or collapse.”

If he went crazy, he couldn’t be the boss. If he collapsed, he couldn’t be the boss either.

After completely unbuckling and opening everything, Se-hyun let out a long, tense breath.

Shin Tae-oh’s face, which looked like he was about to collapse at any moment, looked a little better as he was sorting through all his clothes. Se-hyun’s pheromones probably had the biggest impact.

The cure for an Alpha is an Omega, after all.

“Have you come to your senses?”

“To some extent.”

“Then I guess you don’t remember everything I said.”

Se-hyun’s shameless words made Shin Tae-oh mutter something like straw and honey. Se-hyun ignored Shin Tae-oh’s muttering and waved his hand left and right in front of him.

“I’ve come to my senses…”

Se-hyun shook his head as Shin Tae-oh said this while squinting his eyes.

“I’m showing you I’m clean. I stopped by the bathroom on the way and washed up.”

At Tae-oh’s questioning look as to why he was bringing up cleanliness now, Se-hyun seriously responded.

“I’m about to touch yours, sir. Is that alright?”

Se-hyun knew that pushing out the pheromones wasn’t enough, so he prepared in advance. Though all he did was thoroughly scrub his hands with soap.

“If you can do it on your own, I will support you, but I don’t think you are in the condition to do that.”

Se-hyun looked at Shin Tae-oh’s swollen center with his clean hands cupped. e had mentally prepared, but seeing it directly was dizzying.

It felt like something stirred inside his underwear just now…

“Seeing things like that makes me nervous.”

“I am too. It’s my first time.”

He felt like he once had a dream about drying red peppers. Was that a premonition?

Because now he had to dry Tae-oh’s pepper(p8nis).

Se-hyun closed his eyes tightly and placed his hands on Shin Tae-oh’s body. As his hand first reached his rippling abs, his wrist was caught just as he was about to slide down.

“Sir.”

“You don’t have to force yourself.”

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

“Don’t you feel like you’re going to die right now, Sir?”

“Not to the point of dying, but I do feel like I’m going to explode.”

“But are you really stopping me now?”

“I don’t want to give Se-hyun-ssi a hard time.”

Seeing Shin Tae-oh’s helpless smile, Se-hyun smirked, looking arrogantly amused.

“I don’t want Tae-oh to suffer either. What if he bursts his pepper at this rate?”

He had already spoken informally to Sin Tae-oh several times. Each time, Sin Tae-oh had found it amusing, but this time he was so surprised he couldn’t react at all.

Was he too out of it from the rut to accept it this time? Or trying to act coy again?

“Well, I feel really embarrassed when you say that.”

Sin Tae-oh covered his face with the hand that had grabbed Se-hyun’s wrist. It was then that Se-hyun slid his hand into his pants.

Se-hyun paused briefly at the coarse pubic hair and was startled by the hot flesh.

He was glad that there was something more surprising than touching someone else’s pepper(p3nis).

“Is this thing going to melt?”

“Ah, please…don’t joke around in this serious situation.”

As Shin Tae-oh squirmed and laughed, the pepper gripped in Se-hyun’s hand moved along with him. Since it was moving on its own, Se-hyun just stayed still for now. More than moving his hand, he needed time to get used to someone else’s pepper.

Any sense of rejection that this wasn’t his quickly faded because it was Shin Tae-oh’s. And the actual p3nis he was gripping didn’t feel bad, likely due to the soft skin—apart from the worry that it might melt. Plus…

‘I did think the size would match his build.’

Considering his 190-centimeter height, broad shoulders, and sturdy torso, Se-hyun had expected it to be bigger than his own. But the substantial size was still surprising. Even when he grasped it firmly, his thumb and middle finger didn’t touch.

Anyway, as he held it, courage began to well up inside him. He just had to think of it as a stick. Wave that stick around to release the pheromones.

“I may be awkward. If it hurts, raise your left hand.”

Se-hyun slowly moved my hand after seeing Shin Tae-oh’s left hand resting calmly even though he was shaking from laughter.

He had to calm this pepper first…

‘And then calm down my pepper too.’

He bit his lip to clear his mind from being swayed by the Alpha’s pheromones.
