Coming out of the restaurant again and arriving at the hospital, Yeoul felt as if he had been covered in filth. He didn’t understand why he felt this sense of deprivation when he, as an extremely recessive omega, couldn’t even make such a pregnancy contract with Eun Sajun in the first place. He barely shook his head and headed to the hospital room where Yeojin was.
The moment he opened the door, stale air hit his lungs.
“You’re here? Our Geum Yeoul.”
A cave-like voice pierced through Yeoul’s ears. Soon a monster-like hand suddenly emerged and grabbed Yeoul’s wrist, pulling him in. The hospital room closed and the lights turned on simultaneously. Inside the room, rock-like men were surrounding someone, and in their midst was a man with a different appearance from them.
“It’s been a while.”
It was Shin Taeon with blonde hair, ashen eyes, and dark skin. He was also the representative of the private lending company that Yeoul and his uncle were currently suffering under. He was an extremely dominant alpha and very handsome and beautiful, but his personality was brutal. According to his uncle, he was a crazy bastard who enjoyed necrophilia.
Yeoul frantically searched the hospital room for Yeojin. He was able to find Yeojin immediately. He was kneeling on the floor with his mouth taped shut with blue tape.
“Yeojin!”
At that sight, Yeoul felt like his heart would tear apart.
“Haha!”
Shin Taeon chuckled as if he found this situation amusing. This made Yeoul’s heart feel like it would collapse even more.
“Wh-why did you come here? We already had all our debt forgiven.”
“You didn’t know. Your uncle borrowed money again.”
“What?”
“Besides, the ring wasn’t what I was looking for.”
“I only gave you the ring according to the photo you gave me… It wasn’t different from the photo!”
Yeoul shouted. Then Shin Taeon grabbed Yeoul’s chin and lifted it. Their eyes met – his ashen pupils. Violence swirled in them, but they also felt somehow sticky. Yeoul shook off Shin Taeon’s hand at the unpleasant sensation.
“It was wrong. There’s no code on it.”
“Code? What’s that?”
Yeoul’s pupils shook at this new fact. Shin Taeon also seemed hesitant to answer, but soon opened his mouth.
“Actually, Eun Sajun and I belonged to a special operations unit called BILLION that the government secretly created.”
“What?”
Yeoul’s eyes widened. At the same time, it was a moment that proved what Yeojin had said some time ago was true.
“It was composed only of extremely dominant alphas, and we mainly dealt with terrorists or participated in combat in countries at war. Eun Sajun and I were quite close there.”
“……”
“There was a mission to steal the explosive manufacturing method used by Russian terrorists. To enter the research facility where those explosives were, a code was needed. So while we were planning the operation, that bastard Eun Sajun independently found out that code and then secretly diverted the manufacturing method. He betrayed our unit. That fucking bastard.”
“Huk…”
“After that, the unit commander questioned Eun Sajun about the code. But he said no. After that, he retired and is now active as the CEO of a security company. But the unit members including myself found Eun Sajun suspicious, so we’ve been chasing him like this.
According to information obtained by planting a spy around Eun Sajun, that bastard carved that code on a ring he treasures. That bastard doesn’t usually wear accessories. The only thing he has is a ring that’s his mother’s keepsake. So I obtained a photo of that ring and told you to find it. But there was no code on that ring. It was wrong information.”
“……”
Then, did Eun Sajun readily hand over such a precious item to Yeoul? It was absurd.
“The code is said to be composed only of numbers. So I thought Eun Sajun would keep the code in his head. But according to information obtained by planting a new spy, Eun Sajun carved that code on his body.”
“Huh?”
Yeoul recalled his naked body that he had encountered when infiltrating his house a week ago. At the same time, the tattoo carved on his cock flickered in his mind. The snake carved on the bumpy surface. And the strange numbers that looked like decorations. Could it be… was that the code? He felt his blood run cold.
“It seems he carved it on his body with the purpose of directly showing that code to a third party. There’s a risk of being wiretapped, hacked, or robbed if you convey it by voice or pass it as a document.”
What? Then he would expose his cock to other people? Isn’t he really a crazy bastard? Yeoul was shocked once more.
“So you go back to Eun Sajun’s house as a housekeeper again and find out the code that’s somewhere on that bastard’s body.”
At Shin Taeon’s command, Yeoul felt like his head would explode. The ring was already too difficult, and now he had to see the most intimate part of his body…
“H-how am I supposed to find that? It’s too difficult…”
Though he had gotten the ring faster than expected, thinking about experiencing that pressure again made him feel suffocated.
“Ha.”
At Yeoul’s reaction, Shin Taeon frowned. Then he slapped Yeojin’s cheek hard. The sharp sound rang out loudly as Yeoul’s heart also sank with a thud.
“What are you doing right now! The kid hasn’t even fully recovered yet!”
Yeoul’s eyes became sharp. He immediately rushed toward Shin Taeon. But the other men in the hospital room grabbed Yeoul’s arms tightly and forcefully restrained him.
“Ha, how cute.”
Shin Taeon approached Yeoul. One corner of his raised mouth held mockery, but it was menacing.
“You saw, right? If you act up without knowing your place, you don’t know what will happen to your brother’s body.”
“Haa, haa…”
Anger flared in Yeoul’s eyes. In contrast, Shin Taeon was full of leisure.
“I’ll give you a month from now. Find out the code on Eun Sajun’s body within that time. Then I’ll never appear before you two again.”
“Haa… haa…”
“Geum Yeojin. Honestly, he’s no different from a goose that lays golden eggs, being an extremely dominant omega.”
Soon Yeojin’s complexion turned pale.
“If you disobey me, you don’t know what I’ll do to your brother.”
Shin Taeon grabbed Yeoul’s chin and lifted it. Their eyes met with this monster-like man. Goosebumps ran down his spine as he felt like he would be swallowed up.
“So listen to me.”
It was an absolute command.
When he infiltrated the mansion, he had happened to see Eun Sajun’s naked body. But to see the code carved on his cock, he would need to look more closely, which would be impossible for a mere housekeeper to create such a situation. So he would need to become close enough to naturally have contact with his body…
‘Yes. You made a pregnancy contract with me.’
Eun Sajun’s voice rang in his head like lightning.
If he made a pregnancy contract, there would come a situation where skin would touch skin for that pregnancy. Then naturally, a situation of exposure would occur. Yeoul felt like he had found a ray of light in hell.
The problem was that Eun Sajun had already found an omega to make a pregnancy contract with.
“From now until a month later. I’ll wait until January 24th.”
Shin Taeon stepped back, removing his hand from Yeoul.
“Don’t even think about running away. I’ll take Geum Yeojin with me.”
Soon after, Shin Taeon stood next to Yeojin and grabbed his shoulder. Yeoul felt his insides burning.
“Yeojin is recovering right now. He needs more treatment.”
“Don’t worry. I’m just moving him to another hospital to monitor him. I already processed his discharge from this hospital.”
“My goodness…”
Yeoul felt like he was falling into distant despair. Shin Taeon looked intently at Yeoul’s face, then placed his hand on his chest.
“Don’t look at me like trash. It hurts my heart.”
Gradually, he closed the distance with Yeoul and brought his lips close to his ear.
“Honestly, I like you more than Geum Yeojin and want to kidnap you, but the situation doesn’t allow it, so I can’t help it.”
He kissed Yeoul’s cheek. Yeoul felt intense goosebumps and backed away from Shin Taeon. He even felt disgusted.
“And Eun Sajun is a peculiar guy even among extremely dominant alphas, so he has the ability to overwhelm omegas. Be careful.”
“Wh-what does that mean?”
Even though he already felt like he was standing in a vast ocean, Shin Taeon’s statement led Yeoul further into a fence of fear.
“You’d probably look really pretty sucking dick.”
Instead of a clear answer, Shin Taeon evaded with dirty words. So Yeoul backed away even more, feeling like he was covered in filth.
“Yeoul. Let’s see each other in a happy state as soon as possible.”
Soon the men began dragging Yeojin out.
“No! Yeojin!”
Yeoul reached out his arms to grab Yeojin. But both his arms were held like chains by the men, so he was ultimately subdued again and couldn’t do anything. He wanted to cause trouble, but he couldn’t because he was more afraid of the aftermath. He just seemed to be confirming his own powerlessness.
* * *
“Ha…”
In the end, Yeoul came out of the hospital alone. Since Yeojin had been discharged, there was no reason to stay there anymore.
The pitch-black sky seemed to block Yeoul’s life. It felt like being sucked down into shadowy darkness. Unlike his own feelings, today was Christmas Eve, so the surroundings were filled with trees and decorations. People also moved in pairs or groups.
“Euhuk… huk…”
Yeoul cried and cried like someone with broken wings. His life, which he had lived with difficulty, only felt pitiful. Walking like that, he entered a bridge over a stream. Yeoul cast his gaze down below the bridge railing. Black river water was rippling. It seemed to reach out and pull him toward it.
Should I jump?
That would probably be better…
Just as Yeoul was about to climb over the railing like someone possessed.
‘Thanks to hyung, I lived. Thank you, really thank you.’
Yeojin’s voice from middle school days, looking at him, came to mind.
As his body rolled toward the cliff, it seemed like Yeojin was reaching out to him, saying he shouldn’t die like this. Right… even if he cried like this now, there was no answer.
Now he had no choice but to listen to Shin Taeon. If a month passed like this, Yeojin would be in danger.
Now, to protect his only remaining family, his twin brother who was like his other half, he had to somehow stay by Eun Sajun’s side. First, Yeoul stepped back from the railing and took a deep breath in and out.
Although the pregnancy contract was no longer possible, he had to somehow look for opportunities even as a housekeeper. Yeoul quickly turned around and headed toward Eun Sajun’s mansion.
* * *
Inside the moving sedan.
Shin Taeon was whistling while looking out the window. And next to him was Yeojin. The cheek he had been hit earlier was swollen, but his eyes weren’t filled with fear. Rather, he looked at Shin Taeon with a noble face.
“I like Geum Yeoul more, so I’m disappointed that I ended up taking you.”
“Right. I don’t really like ‘fakes’ like you.”
Instantly, Yeojin’s complexion turned pale. Shin Taeon raised the corner of his mouth in a fishy smile and put a cigarette in his mouth.
“The situation is fucked, so I can’t help it. If Geum Yeoul resolves things well this time, maybe I’ll take him as my bride. Haha.”
Grinning, he lit the cigarette with a lighter. White smoke instantly filled the car.
“He’s different from you – ‘pregnancy’ is possible with him.”
At Shin Taeon’s statement, Yeojin lowered his head as if he had become a loser.
