Inside the old, rundown building, the bed looked strangely large and luxurious, standing out like an item in a “spot the difference” game. Yeonwoo, who had been laid face down on the bed, raised only his head by propping himself up on his elbows, breathing heavily.
His body felt strange. The heat and throbbing sensation that had previously been confined to his face was now spreading throughout his entire body, making his eyes quiver. Surely not. It can’t be. It’s impossible, he thought to himself as his breathing became increasingly labored. A thick hand descended in front of him.
The loan shark looked down at Yeonwoo and snickered.
“Since it’s your first day, I’ve only called a few people. You can thank me later, okay?”
“…”
“I didn’t want to do this right away, but our Yeonwoo is just too good-looking. Our VIP clients somehow heard rumors and contacted me urgently. They’re people who’ve always done whatever they wanted, so they might be rough. But consider it all experience. Once you’ve gone through it once, the second and third times are nothing. Understand?”
The man’s voice grew increasingly distant. His consciousness seemed to be fading as well, but Yeonwoo tried desperately to keep his wits about him. Tears flowed against his will. Seeing him lying on the bed, not knowing what to do, the loan shark licked his lower lip. Being a beta, he couldn’t sense anything, but the room would now be filled with the sweet scent of an omega entering heat. They say it feels incredibly good when you do it while smelling that scent.
Maybe I should touch him a little. Just touching wouldn’t be noticeable.
Just then, a sharp voice calling “Boss” came from outside. The urgent cry, small but piercing, made the loan shark click his tongue in annoyance as he stood up.
“Staying still will be easier on you than trying to move.”
Seeing Yeonwoo with his head down despite this rare piece of advice, the loan shark smiled. No matter what, in an hour or two, he’d be crying and clinging to him. Thinking about how much he looked forward to that sight, he walked away with light steps. As soon as the loan shark left, Yeonwoo jumped up.
As he put one foot down from the bed, his body swayed greatly. Barely managing to keep his balance, he ran to the door and grabbed the handle, but couldn’t bring himself to open it. Would he be able to escape even if he went outside? It seemed unlikely that there wouldn’t be at least one person guarding him outside.
Looking back to check the barred window, Yeonwoo turned his head. Seeing a door inside the room, he ran to it and opened it to find a bathroom. His gaze fixed on the small window visible in front of him.
Could even his head fit through? Staring blankly at the truly small window, he walked toward it. With each step—one, two—his vision wavered greatly. His heart was beating insanely fast, his breathing became labored, and his skin tingled.
It was a heat cycle. Since he’d grown up somewhat, it seemed to come about once every two months.
Each time, Yeonwoo would take heat suppressants prescribed by the hospital and shut himself in his room. This was the case both when he lived with his father and when he lived alone.
The heat cycle was not easy to get through without sexual contact or relationship with an alpha. Each time, despite taking medication, his body’s unfamiliar responses made him feel strange, somewhat disliked, and uncomfortable.
When he experienced his first heat, he was scared. Feeling like he had become something strange, he wanted to confide his feelings to someone.
His father could have been that one person. But when Yeonwoo’s first heat came, all he did was give him a few bottles of water and medication, telling him not to leave his room. Saying that omegas must protect themselves.
Looking at those below-freezing eyes gazing down at him, Yeonwoo swallowed what he wanted to say. Perhaps because of that experience, Yeonwoo pretended nothing was happening even during subsequent heats. He endured days of fever that came and went, desperately ignoring the stimulation rising from intimate places.
But now…
“…Hnngh!”
Having barely made it to the window, Yeonwoo leaned his forehead against the cold tiles and gasped.
Perhaps because of the heat, the cool tiles felt good, and as he rubbed his forehead against them, Yeonwoo painfully reached for the window. Knowing it was barely large enough for a head to fit through, after several attempts, he managed to open the window about 3 centimeters.
It seemed to be fixed somehow, as no matter how hard he tried, the window wouldn’t open any further. Nevertheless, not giving up, Yeonwoo grabbed the window frame with both hands and pulled, then gasped as he felt something flowing from below.
“…”
Yeonwoo’s entire body, with both hands on the wall, trembled violently. With pain like his lower abdomen was being constricted, his legs gave out. As his vision became hazy, Yeonwoo finally smelled his own pheromones.
Unless in special situations, he had always hidden his pheromones almost obsessively, but now he couldn’t. Usually, he would sense through feeling when pheromones were released, but now he smelled them first. This meant an enormous amount of pheromones was explosively overflowing.
Yeonwoo’s pupils shook wildly at the scent of pheromones rushing into his nostrils.
At that moment, a loud crashing sound came from outside the door, followed by someone shouting, “Where is it?” The loan shark who had been unpleasantly smiling and talking about “guests” came to mind.
Were they here already? Knowing what would happen to him when they arrived, Yeonwoo painfully moved his legs that refused to support him.
Approaching the door, he grabbed the handle and knelt down.
“…”
Rough, panting breaths escaped between his parted lips. Just changing his posture made the strange condition below feel even more explicit.
The fabric touching his skin was all damp and clinging to him, the lubricant that continued to flow from his hole, his pheromones sticking to his skin, and…
At some point, only one person began to fill Yeonwoo’s mind. The one alpha that Yeonwoo, forced into heat, instinctively wanted was Ho Munbeom.
The moment he unconsciously moved his lips to murmur that name, his lower abdomen throbbed again. With the instinctive response of an omega desiring an alpha, not pain, his back became wet again.
With lubricant continuously flowing from his hole, his rapid breathing, and his fading consciousness, Yeonwoo gripped the handle more firmly. Just then, the footsteps of several people could be heard. They stopped right in front of the bathroom where Yeonwoo was hiding and knocked on the door.
Knock, knock.
“Person inside, are you Lee Yeonwoo?”
Rattle, rattle.
“If you are Yeonwoo, please answer. We are here to help you.”
After knocking, the handle turned several times. Terrified, Yeonwoo used all his strength to hold onto the handle, clinging to it and pressing his body against the door.
From the beginning, the door had no locking function. How could Yeonwoo alone prevent it from opening? If the people outside wanted to, they could force it open easily, but they didn’t. Perhaps “couldn’t” would be more accurate. The person who sent them here had said that the omega named Lee Yeonwoo must be protected in any situation.
They couldn’t know the situation behind the thin bathroom door, but judging by the pheromones they had felt since entering the corridor, a dominant omega was inside. Convinced that it was Yeonwoo, they erased the violent and ruthless demeanor they had shown while coming up here and tried to speak in the kindest voice possible.
“Yeonwoo, we are people who have come to rescue you. We know you’re not feeling well right now. You must also realize that we need to take emergency measures as quickly as possible. If you open the door, we will do our best to ensure you don’t feel uncomfortable.”
There were about five guards who had entered the room. The others were out in the corridor, and the rest were dealing with the people they had encountered here.
Wanting to handle this as quietly and quickly as possible, they examined the old bathroom door. They could easily break it down with a little force. But if someone got hurt in the process, it would be a big problem.
At that moment, one of the omega team members who had moved together with them hurriedly came up. The team leader, who had been continuously talking to Yeonwoo, turned to look at him and pointed to the door as if telling him to do something. The omega team member, whose expression had been grim since stepping into the corridor, shook his head with a stiff face.
“The person inside has just started their heat, so we shouldn’t touch them carelessly. And because they’re dominant, there’s nothing I can do to calm them down.”
“Then what should we do? Stay in this state?”
To prevent any possible accidents, the alpha team members had not come here together. That was fortunate, but the omega, experiencing such a thick and attractive pheromone for the first time, felt dizzy. Even though he wasn’t an alpha, he felt like he might be enchanted by the pheromones that the dominant omega was releasing for mating. The team member said with a hardened face.
