ETP Ch 49

The boy was slumped in the corner of the restroom like crumpled trash, and that crazy Alpha bastard was on top of him.

Furthermore, the Alpha bastard’s lips were pressed against Bokseung’s, not even a centimeter apart.

Before he could fully process the situation, Hwang Yoohyun’s body moved.

Yoohyun, before the Alpha bastard could dare touch Bokseung’s lips with his own, reached out and grabbed the back of his neck. Then, he immediately spun him around with his other hand and grabbed him by the collar.

“Kuh?!”

The Alpha bastard’s eyes widened at the unexpected attack.

Even in this situation, he couldn’t hide his arousal, his flustered face still flushed red.

“You son of a bitch.”

Hwang Yoohyun, spitting out the words as if chewing them up, tightened his grip. He felt like he could strangle him to death if he held on a little longer. No, that’s what he should do. Even the air this bastard was breathing was a waste.

Contrary to his seething rage, Yoohyun’s face was remarkably calm. He looked as comfortable exerting force as he was breathing.

As if finally realizing the gravity of the situation, the Alpha bastard, whose collar was being held, barely managed to raise his hand to scratch Yoohyun’s forearm.

However, that level of resistance didn’t faze Yoohyun at all.

Even the bastard’s rut-like pheromones were being suppressed by Yoohyun’s released pheromones. In the world of Alphas, or rather, the world of those with traits, which operated strictly on the logic of power, Yoohyun was at the top. There weren’t many Alphas who could threaten him.

Yoohyun brushed off the Alpha bastard’s fingers as if annoyed. The force of the action caused the bastard’s hand to slam against the wall with a ‘thud!’ Despite that, the Alpha bastard’s bulging middle remained undeterred.

Unbelievable, this crazy bastard.

Yoohyun, who had briefly glanced down, tightened his grip on the bastard’s neck. Despite lifting a large body over 180cm with one hand, Yoohyun remained calm, showing no signs of strain.

The Alpha bastard’s face, red with arousal, turned a dark purplish color from lack of oxygen. Just as he was starting to feel a sense of satisfaction with the change,

Crash!

The sound of something collapsing was heard. Yoohyun glanced over. At the end of his gaze was Bokseung, collapsed and unconscious.

“Kim Bokseung!!”

Yoohyun’s face, which had been calm even while contemplating killing someone, crumpled with worry. He immediately threw the Alpha bastard to the floor and rushed over to Bokseung, putting his arms around his shoulders.

Fortunately, he had just collapsed from weakness in his legs, but his eyelids were tightly shut.

Yoohyun was suddenly terrified.

Regret washed over him, wondering if something had happened because he had arrived late. He should have come in directly instead of waiting outside because he hated the noise, he berated himself.

He could see the Alpha, finally freed from Yoohyun’s grip, coughing madly and crawling out of the restroom, but Yoohyun didn’t have time to care.

The only thing that mattered was the well-being of the small Omega in his arms, Kim Bokseung.

He was trembling, unsure of what to do, when Bokseung’s eyelids fluttered, and his brown eyes flickered open.

Yoohyun, at that small movement, unconsciously whispered, “Thank you.”

He wasn’t sure if Bokseung had heard him properly, but he just slightly curved his lips.

🍑‧₊ ⋆˙

Hyungseop, who had lived as a law-abiding citizen of South Korea for 33 years, was a model citizen who had never even been in a minor fender bender.

The reason why he was summoned to the police station in the middle of the night, while sick with a cold, was simple.

A pheromone commotion and brawl between those with traits at the PC room, no, it wasn’t even a brawl. It was clearly a one-sided assault.

And now, Hyungseop, who had come to the police station trembling as a 33-year model citizen, was gone. He had become a wild animal, tearing up the police station. It was because of the frustration of not being able to punch the half-witted Alpha bastard right in front of him.

“This, fuck!! This bastard! Of all the people to touch, he had to touch Bokseung?!! Cough, hack!!”

Hyungseop, as soon as he opened the door to the police station and saw Bokseung’s pale face, exploded in a gradient of rage. Whether his fever was high from the cold or from anger was indistinguishable, but either way, he was radiating an immense amount of heat.

Thanks to this, the quiet Sunday morning police station was in chaos, with even the police officers trying to restrain Hyungseop, who had come as a guardian, raising their voices.

While Hyungseop was causing a scene, Bokseung, Yoohyun, and the Alpha bastard, who had been injected with an emergency sedative, were giving their statements.

The events leading up to their arrival at the police station were as follows.

Yoohyun’s pheromones, released from the restroom, had suppressed the other Alphas in the PC room, and the trait-bearing customers, overwhelmed by his dominance, frantically searched for the part-timer.

However, there was only a sign saying the part-timer would be back after cleaning the restroom, with no sign of the part-timer who could resolve the situation.

So, the Beta customers, who were relatively unaffected by the pheromones, went to the restroom looking for the part-timer. They were curious about what was going on, since their Alpha friends they were playing games with were pale and trembling.

And what a sight they beheld. One man collapsed at the entrance of the restroom, dry heaving, a man in the corner with a sharp glint in his eyes, and the young part-timer he was supporting.

Unable to think of a solution, the customers immediately called the police.

The police, dispatched after receiving the customers’ call, immediately injected the dry-heaving Alpha with an emergency sedative, seeing the seriousness of the situation. That’s how bad his condition was. It was partly due to his rut, and partly due to the shock from another dominant Alpha’s pheromones.

Only after being injected with the sedative and several tens of minutes passing did the collapsed Alpha finally regain consciousness.

Afterward, the police took the three trait-bearers to the police station, and in the meantime, Hyungseop, the owner of the PC room, was contacted.

They hadn’t imagined the owner would be even more agitated after arriving.

“So, what happened? How am I supposed to do anything if all three of you are telling different stories?”

The police officer writing the report pressed his temples in exhaustion, muttering in frustration.

Two Alphas and one Omega. He could roughly guess what had happened, but somehow, not a single consistent story emerged.

The Alpha bastard, upon hearing the officer’s words, raised his voice as if wronged.

“That, that part-timer seduced me! So I naturally assumed it was consensual…!”

“Fuck, you’re talking nonsense?”

Yoohyun muttered ominously from the side. He should have just ended it earlier. As if sensing that thought, the Alpha who had harassed Bokseung quickly shut his mouth and shifted his buttocks as far away as possible.

“Mr. Kim Bokseung?”

“Yes?”

“Is what he’s saying true?”

The police officer shook his head and asked Bokseung.

Bokseung’s small face shook from side to side at the officer’s gaze.

“I absolutely did not do that. The reason I went to that bastard, no, that person, was because he ordered food multiple times.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, and the only thing I said was ‘Enjoy your meal.'”

The longer the Alpha’s excuses went on, the more dumbfounded Sungyeon became, letting out a sigh.

How did taking food orders and cleaning up become seduction?

Does this bastard only play games in his room and have no social skills?

He wanted to bash his head in, regardless of the police station, but since he didn’t want Bokseung to be arrested for assault, Sungyeon mustered his patience and endured.

Well, Hwang Yoohyun had done the same thing to that bastard on his behalf.

Sungyeon clenched his fist as he looked at the dark bruise on the Alpha’s neck. He felt a pang of regret that he hadn’t done it himself. He resolved to start working out next month to build up his strength.

“And Mr. Hwang Yoohyun?”

“…”

When the officer called his name, Yoohyun only rolled his eyes and looked at him.

It looked arrogant, but it was so natural that no one commented on his attitude.

“Even if Mr. Kim Yoo-seok files a complaint, Mr. Hwang Yoohyun’s actions won’t be considered self-defense…”

“Wait a minute!”

Sungyeon, who had been listening to the conversation, suddenly stood up.

Startled by his sudden action, the police officer blinked and turned his gaze from Yoohyun to Bokseung.

“That, that ba-, no, that person, I did that?!”

“Yes?”

“What?”

“What?!”

Everyone’s attention was focused on the sudden bombshell. Even Yoohyun, who had been indifferent to everything since arriving at the police station, widened his eyes.

What is he saying?

The most surprised was Hyungseop, who had calmed down somewhat and was listening to their conversation. He had to say something believable to be believed.

Seeing the distrustful looks on everyone’s faces, Sungyeon pouted.

“Look! I have a bruise on my neck too, right?! That ba-, no, that person strangled me, so I got angry and strangled him back. So this is self-defense! Moreover, since that person pressured and harassed me with pheromones, he’s even worse, so he should be sued under the Trait Persons Special Act!”

Sungyeon pulled down the neckline of his t-shirt and showed it to the police officer. Of course, within three seconds, Hwang Yoohyun pulled Bokseung away, preventing him from showing it in detail.

“Wh-, What nonsense! I almost died at the hands of this bastard!”

The Alpha who had knocked on death’s door thanks to Yoohyun shouted angrily. Seeing him shouting so confidently about it made Sungyeon feel nothing but contempt.

Sungyeon knew what to say in situations like this.

“Do you have proof?”
