OMS 67

Just before Kim Tae-han’s lips could touch, a large hand blocked his face. 

“That’s enough.” Then the other man pushed him back. Kim Tae-han glared fiercely at Kim Jun-han who had suddenly intervened.

“Don’t get in my way. I was first.”

“Are you really planning to have a threesome, like some kind of animal?”

“I don’t care. I threw away my pride and everything else long ago.”

Kim Jun-han grabbed Kim Tae-han by the nape of his neck. 

“Come here.” Kim Tae-han roughly shook him off. Kim Jun-han then grabbed his collar, and Kim Tae-han didn’t back down easily, lunging forward. They were about to start throwing punches when Park Dong-sik clicked his tongue. He had been watching them this entire time.

“Instead of fighting, let’s settle this physically. Should I undress? Want me to? I’m going to do that.”

Even as he started unbuttoning his shirt, the two were too busy growling at each other to notice. When Kim Jun-han finally threw a punch, Kim Tae-han crashed to the floor. After getting up, Kim Tae-han wiped the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand and laughed like a madman.

Park Dong-sik stopped unbuttoning his shirt and sighed.

“Mr. Kim, do you work out? Your form is perfect. Tae-han, dive low and tackle him. That’s your only chance.”

The two men faced off tensely, glaring daggers at each other, and Park Dong-sik got up and approached them.

“Come on. Both of you stop and listen to me.”

That was when it happened. Kim Tae-han grabbed Park Dong-sik like he was prey. It happened so fast that there was no time to defend. Their lips pressed together as a tongue forced its way in, and the scent of pheromones hit strongly. As Kim Jun-han’s face contorted while watching them, Park Dong-sik pushed away Kim Tae-han’s shoulders and covered his mouth with a gag. Then he ran straight to the bathroom and started retching continuously.

“…”

Caught off guard by the completely unexpected situation, Kim Tae-han froze in place. Hearing the continued retching, he roughly ran his hands through his hair and squeezed his eyes shut before opening them again. When he turned around, Kim Jun-han stood there with an icy expression on his face. Kim Tae-han shook his head in denial.

“It must be because of the pheromones. Because I got emotional, so…ha…”

Unable to finish his sentence, Kim Jun-han picked up the fallen necktie and returned it.

“Go. Stop being played by Lee Hee-soo.”

Kim Tae-han’s eyes reddened as he shouted.

“It’s my baby! No matter what anyone says, it’s my baby!”

“Don’t get attached. It doesn’t matter whose baby it is.”

“It matters to me. Even if it’s your child, I’ll raise it!”

“Wake up. Hee-soo won’t be having any baby.”

“Are you really going to be like this? You don’t even love them! You never cared! You said the two of you were getting a divorce! Then I should be able to have them. I’ve given up everything to you all this time, and now I just want Hee-soo! Is that so wrong, damn it?!”

Just then, a groan came from the bathroom, and Kim Tae-han turned to go there. However, Kim Jun-han stepped in front to block him. Kim Tae-han backed away, shuddering at the aggressive pheromones.

“This is as far as you go. Don’t test my patience.”

“…”

As the sounds of retching continued from inside, Kim Tae-han’s face became bewildered. He had been so sure it was his baby, but why…how…The symptoms seemed too severe to be simple morning sickness. Kim Tae-han anxiously stared at the bathroom door where Lee Hee-soo had disappeared.

“Go. Nothing good will come from you being here now.”

“I’m going in.”

“What if it gets worse? Can you handle that?”

Kim Tae-han glared at Kim Jun-han with resentful eyes. The retching had stopped, and now there were only sounds of suffering. Kim Tae-han clenched his fists and bit his lip until it bled. Damn it…He slumped his shoulders like a defeated soldier, turned around, and shortly after, the sound of the door opening and closing was heard as silence fell over everything.

Left alone in the living room, Kim Jun-han leisurely walked toward the bathroom.

Opening the door, he found Lee Hee-soo lying on the floor as still as a dead mouse.

“Get up. Tae-han’s gone.”

“…”

“Shall we stop? I think he’s going to be angry.”

Park Dong-sik got up casually, dusted off his clothes, and looked at Kim Jun-han with a grin.

“You caught on?”

“Why did you do it?”

“Do what?”

“Why did you go so far as to act to deceive Tae-han?”

At this rate, maybe Kim Jun-han should open a fortune-telling shop. How could anyone be this perceptive? Or was my acting that bad? Still, Tae-han fell for it completely.

“Tell me. What was the reason?”

After hesitating, Park Dong-sik looked directly at Kim Jun-han’s face.

“This was the only way to make Kim Tae-han give up.”

“…”

“Your brother was so desperately in love with Hee-soo. It was pitiful and sad.”

“Were you wavering?”

At Kim Jun-han’s question, Park Dong-sik thought about it carefully. Truthfully, he wasn’t sure. When he was with Kim Tae-han, he felt comfortable, good, and had fun. Even though he could be annoying and selfish, it wasn’t all bad. He had even thought about what it would be like if they ran away together, but he couldn’t imagine what life would be like after that.

Instead of answering, Park Dong-sik finished buttoning up and spoke casually.

“I’ll terminate the pregnancy. I didn’t want to have it anyway. I don’t need the money. Thinking about it, what’s already in my account is enough to live on. Honestly, for someone like me who used to struggle without even ten million won, 100 billion is an unimaginable number. I’m sorry. It took me a while to realize my place.”

“…”

“Let’s end this cleanly and live as strangers from now on. Okay?”

When there was no response, Park Dong-sik tried to leave, but Kim Jun-han suddenly grabbed his arm. When their eyes met, Kim Jun-han let go first, and Park Dong-sik smiled mischievously.

“I almost seriously misunderstood that.”

“Sleep well. See you tomorrow.” The door opened and closed, and Kim Jun-han, left alone, stared at his hand. Unnamed emotions were stirring in his heart. He clenched his fist tightly, but couldn’t identify what these feelings were.

***

Sitting in a field, he heard a thump, thump sound from somewhere. Turning around, he saw a large black rabbit hopping towards him. He waved happily, but it ignored him and passed by crying “Pwueng-.”

Park Dong-sik got up in surprise. What’s wrong with it? He got up and chased after the rabbit. 

“Wait! Stop!” Every time he nearly caught up, it got further away, and the tears the rabbit shed turned into jewels scattered all over the ground.

While he was momentarily distracted by this wonder, another thumping sound came from somewhere. Turning around, this time a white rabbit was approaching with incredible jumps. Park Dong-sik was shocked. 

Who are you? While he was wondering this, the white rabbit caught the black rabbit and suddenly slapped its face.

Park Dong-sik couldn’t close his mouth at this surprising scene.

What is this situation?

The white rabbit ignored Park Dong-sik and coldly snapped at the black rabbit.

“Don’t cry over someone like that. Your tears are wasted. They’re just someone who doesn’t even care about us anyway.”

What? No, that’s not it—just as he tried to explain, the white rabbit stomped on Park Dong-sik. 

“Ack!” Startled, Park Dong-sik jumped up from his bed and looked around. Wiping cold sweat from his forehead, he saw it was 3 a.m. Ah, what a dream…

But why were there two rabbits? Could it be…one of the twins? Ah, that’s nasty.

After sighing, he lay back down to sleep, but sleep wouldn’t come and his stomach growled. After tossing and turning for a while, Park Dong-sik finally couldn’t bear the hunger any longer and went downstairs. He went to the kitchen to look for food in the refrigerator and turned on the light, only to find someone sitting on the living room sofa.

“Ah, shit, you scared me!”

Calming his startled heart, he saw Kim Jun-han sleeping with his head tilted back while sitting upright. Empty bottles and glasses on the table suggested he’d been drinking alone. Strange. Drinking until this hour. While considering whether to wake him, Park Dong-sik opened the refrigerator first.

While looking for something to satisfy his hunger, he heard footsteps approaching. Turning around, Kim Jun-han was already right in front of him. Unlike usual, his eyes were unfocused and his pheromone scent was so strong it gave Park Dong-sik goosebumps. Sensing something was off, Park Dong-sik took out a piece of cake from the refrigerator and tried to avoid him, but Kim Jun-han grabbed his arm.

“What are you doing? If you’re drunk, go to bed.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Kim Jun-han pushed Park Dong-sik against the refrigerator and devoured his lips. The cake fell and was crushed on the floor, while the cool wooden scent mixed with alcohol stimulated his senses. His tongue entered, exploring even the inner cheeks, while his hands moved to unbutton Park Dong-sik’s shirt.

But being drunk, he couldn’t manage it properly, so he desperately grabbed both sides of the shirt and tore it. With a ripping sound, buttons scattered across the floor, and Park Dong-sik frowned watching them clatter to the floor.

“Get a hold of yourself. How many fingers am I holding up?”

When he waved his hand in front of Kim Jun-han’s face, he suddenly grabbed it and put it in his mouth, licking it with his tongue. Park Dong-sik bit down on his lower lip, swallowing a moan. Should I do it with him one last time…? While he was feeling conflicted about this, Kim Jun-han roughly squeezed his chest. When he let out an “Ah,” Kim Jun-han then pinched and twisted his nipple between his thumb and index finger.

“I asked before. When you get pregnant, will milk come out of here?”

Then he took the nipple in his mouth and sucked hard enough to hollow his cheeks. A tingling sensation rose from his toes. The pleasure was definitely more intense than before, and he was already wet down there. Park Dong-sik held the back of Kim Jun-han’s head against his chest and moaned.

“Why are you so inconsistent, haa, telling me to abort the baby, nngh! You’re such a, ah! Fuck!”

Unable to endure it anymore, he pulled Kim Jun-han’s face away, but Kim Jun-han tightly hugged his waist and rubbed his cheek against his neck. Park Dong-sik was speechless. For a moment there, he had foolishly hoped. Maybe he would say he was sorry, or that it was a mistake, or maybe even suggest keeping the baby. But Kim Jun-han never gave any such answer.

Instead, he expressed his desire by exploring Park Dong-sik’s lips and body. As his pants and underwear were removed and Kim Jun-han’s fingers were about to spread him open, suddenly nausea surged up his throat. Park Dong-sik pushed him away in surprise and covered his mouth. Kim Jun-han let out a hollow laugh.

“Having fun?”

This wasn’t a joke. His whole body stung and hurt like being stabbed with a heated needle. Shocked by the sudden change, Park Dong-sik curled up and trembled like a cornered mouse. Kim Jun-han sighed and reached out his hand. 

“Let’s stop. This isn’t fun anymore.”

In that moment, Park Dong-sik violently knocked his hand away and shouted with a trembling voice, “D-Don’t touch me!”

Kim Jun-han’s expression contorted, and Park Dong-sik painfully moved backward to create distance between them. As he moved away, he could breathe again and the pain gradually subsided. As he collapsed weakly, a cold silence divided them.

Coming to his senses belatedly, Park Dong-sik looked up. Only then did he properly see Kim Jun-han’s face. His stubbornly closed lips, rigid jaw, and wavering black eyes…

Looking at that, Park Dong-sik laughed in disbelief.

“Why are you making that face? You were hoping it wasn’t your baby anyway.”
