Chapter 14
Eunsol hesitated before carefully reaching out his hand. He approached until his fingertips were almost touching Hyun-oh’s.
He stopped with just enough space for a single sheet of paper between them. Through his sensitive fingertips, he felt as if he could sense Hyun-oh’s body temperature. Just that alone made Eunsol’s eyes sparkle.
“…You’re really handsome.”
He knew that a person’s worth wasn’t just about their appearance, but just looking at Hyun-oh made Eunsol smile unconsciously.
Then, as his thoughts continued, he withdrew his smile and looked at Hyun-oh’s face with a slight frown. He wasn’t the only one who found him handsome.
Hyun-oh was someone who could attract anyone with normal aesthetic senses, whether they were an omega, alpha, or beta.
Even though they shared the same bedroom, Hyun-oh hadn’t laid a finger on Eunsol. Today, too, it was probably Hyun-oh who had moved Eunsol to the bedroom, but he must have just picked him up plainly and placed him on the bed.
Looking at his unchanged appearance from before he fell asleep confirmed it.
Eunsol’s legs twitched. At first, he was happy just to have Hyun-oh lying beside him and focused only on his face.
But as time passed, he could now clearly feel Hyun-oh’s pheromones. A cool yet deep scent filled his entire body.
The sensation made his eyes hot. It was embarrassing that he was the only one getting heated by Hyun-oh’s pheromones, while Hyun-oh felt no sexual attraction towards him.
“Hngh…”
The heat didn’t subside. Instead, as time passed, Eunsol’s body began to react more and more.
Finally, Eunsol hesitantly got up from the bed. His body was heating up, making it hard to control his pheromones.
Compared to Hyun-oh’s pheromones, his were weak and faint. But he realized that he was acting like someone consumed by instinct next to a sleeping person.
“Quickly, to the bathroom…”
Eunsol was sexually innocent. Before meeting Hyun-oh, he had never felt his heart flutter while looking at someone, nor had he gazed at a handsome face in a daze or been intoxicated by deep pheromones.
That’s why he hadn’t even experienced wet dreams like others. Even during puberty, Eunsol hadn’t done anything with a specific person in mind. He had just moved by instinct, unable to handle the heat consuming his body.
He didn’t know he would fall for his marriage partner, who he had married almost like a doll, day by day.
Even when Hyun-oh’s father was chosen as his husband, Eunsol had thought to live obediently by his side.
But perhaps the heavens pitied Eunsol’s situation, and he ended up marrying someone anyone would envy. He was not only handsome but also never spoke harshly to Eunsol or used violence against him.
Even though he hadn’t held him for a long time, Eunsol instinctively felt that he would never lay a hand on him in the future.
Moreover, Hyun-oh had attractive pheromones.
Sharing a bed with someone who stirred both his body and mind was harder than he thought. Still, he had managed to hide it until now, but today, his body had heated up in an instant as if the reins had been loosened.
Eunsol moved with faltering steps towards the bathroom attached to the bedroom. By the time he finally opened the closed bathroom door, his fingertips were already trembling.
His gaze, looking down at the unfamiliar scene, was gloomy. Hyun-oh didn’t react to him at all, but Eunsol was the only one reacting as if influenced by him, making him feel as if he had committed an indecent act.
He wanted to hide his body, flushed with heat, right away. Even though he was alone in the tightly closed bathroom.
Eunsol entered under the showerhead and turned on the water, hugging his legs together.
His body shrank from the still cold bathroom floor, but instead of getting up, he buried his face in his knees. The water falling from above soaked his head and flowed down his body.
Afraid of waking Hyun-oh, he turned the water flow very weak. Eunsol spent time just leaving his body to the stream of water without caressing himself until the heat subsided.

“…Crazy.”
Hyun-oh looked down between his legs and let out a deep sigh. In fact, he had been vaguely waking up from his dream since Eunsol had been awake for a while.
He couldn’t remember what dream he had. He only clearly felt the movement of a small figure squirming beside him.
At first, it seemed like he was staring intently at his face, enough to feel his gaze, and then the bed mattress slightly trembled.
He could tell that the breath, softer than before, was getting closer. The breath that had been reaching towards the void was now touching his body.
At that moment, Hyun-oh realized that his whole body’s senses were becoming as sensitive as if he had been injected with a stimulant.
For Hyun-oh, an omega’s pheromones were sweet but annoying. Almost every omega he met would secretly release pheromones towards him.
There were those of his age, those much younger or older than him, and sometimes even those who already had partners.
Since he had been troubled by omegas even when he was a minor, Hyun-oh didn’t particularly favor omega pheromones. Sometimes, he even considered having a beta, who didn’t need to worry about pheromones, as a partner.
But strangely, Eunsol’s pheromones didn’t feel repulsive.
At first, he thought it was because Eunsol’s omega pheromone level was low. There were times when Eunsol’s pheromones were so faint that even he, who was sensitive to pheromones, could miss them if he didn’t pay attention.
The faint yet sweet scent didn’t make him feel uncomfortable as usual; instead, he unconsciously thought it could be stronger.
It wasn’t a marriage out of love, nor was it a strategic marriage where he chose someone from a beneficial family.
Hyun-oh just needed a quiet doll-like person by his side.
Eunsol was someone who wouldn’t stand out among the executives of the group and the elders of the family. Except for the fact that he was much younger than him.
In a world where enormous wealth was inherited from generation to generation, it was common for omegas to marry alphas with a large age difference, so that wasn’t a flaw either.
Even though he had woken up, he didn’t let Eunsol know because he didn’t want to shake off the drowsiness that wrapped around his body.
It felt like he was finally getting some proper rest after returning from a tiring business trip.
“…You’re really handsome.”
Just as he was about to fall back asleep. His eyebrows twitched at Eunsol’s sudden words. Fortunately, Eunsol didn’t notice. If he had, he would have made a flustered sound and turned over or pulled the blanket over his head.
Even though he couldn’t see it, he strangely felt Eunsol’s mood sink.
Eunsol’s faint pheromones were getting stronger. Eunsol, who was scattering seductive pheromones enough for even someone sexually ignorant to notice, made Hyun-oh’s eyebrows slightly furrow.
“Hngh…”
To make matters worse, Eunsol even let out a moan. It was nothing much. The sound wasn’t loud. But Hyun-oh experienced a sensation of his lower abdomen tightening as the husky voice touched his ears.
He felt sensitive sensations not only in his lower abdomen but also at the ends of his limbs. He was completely awake now.
As he was contemplating whether to let Eunsol know that he was awake, he heard Eunsol say,
“Quickly, to the bathroom…”
The warmth beside him moved away. After hearing the sound of the bathroom door closing, Hyun-oh opened his eyes.
There was no trace of sleepiness in his revealed eyes. Hyun-oh’s gaze turned towards the door where Eunsol had disappeared.
He vividly imagined what Eunsol, who had gone into the bathroom, was doing. The distance from the bed to the bathroom door was quite far, and the soundproofing was good, so the sound didn’t come through properly.
But he thought he heard a deeper moan than the one Eunsol had let out on the bed just before.
Or maybe it wasn’t an illusion.
