“Eek!”
The man with glass shards embedded in his nape groaned and writhed his body. The other men with him also seemed very flustered by Yeoul’s sudden aggression.
Yeoul’s heart was pounding. After stabbing the man’s neck, an abnormal impulse to attack the rest of them was arising. He controlled himself, knowing this wasn’t right. First, he needed to get out of here.
Yeoul tried to go out alone but the collapsed bodyguard came into his sight. He tried to carry him on his back, but since he was about twice Yeoul’s size, it was realistically impossible.
“There’s no choice.”
Yeoul had to abandon that bodyguard. Since the terrorists’ attention was focused on him, it didn’t seem like anything major would happen immediately. He escaped alone.
Since the terrorists had already swept through once, the living room was a complete mess. The windows were broken and the carpet was torn up.
Yeoul became even more troubled facing that scene.
Bang!
Another gunshot rang out from behind. The sound of something breaking loudly was heard simultaneously. When he looked back, one of the gun-wielding terrorists was running toward him with a beast-like face. Then he kicked Yeoul in the stomach. This caused Yeoul to fall. Soon after, another terrorist raised his gun and aimed it at Yeoul’s head.
“Put both hands up if you want to live.”
Yeoul took a rough breath. Since he couldn’t die right now, he carefully raised both hands. The terrorist approached with a very tense face. Perhaps because he had seen Yeoul’s aggression earlier, he seemed to be being cautious.
“You’re that extremely recessive omega, right?”
“……”
Yeoul nodded his head instead of answering for now. On the surface, he had been hired for a pregnancy contract after all.
“Since it’s come to this, obediently follow us.”
“Uh… where are we going…?”
He asked even though he knew the destination would never be a smooth place. The eyes behind the goggles narrowed as they scanned Yeoul’s face. More precisely, they were scanning his nape. His gaze was full of lewdness.
Yeoul also felt discomfort but pretended not to notice. Because he was holding a weapon right now, he couldn’t act rashly.
“Hmm… Before we go, take off your pants and underwear.”
“What?”
Yeoul’s pupils shook at his unexpected suggestion and his stomach churned. It was obvious what they wanted now. With Eun Sajun, there was a purpose of finding out the code so he had obediently spread his legs, but this wasn’t that. Feeling his blood dry up, Yeoul looked around again. Soon he picked up a vase placed on the table. He immediately threw it at the terrorist.
“Ugh…”
Bang!
The terrorist groaned in confusion as his body tilted backward. At the same time, he pulled the trigger, but since the gun barrel was pointing at the ceiling, only the lighting was destroyed. Soon his rock-like body collapsed to the floor.
Yeoul quickly snatched the gun that had been in his hand and aimed it at the terrorist’s forehead instead.
I have to kill him. If I don’t kill this bastard, I’ll die.
Survival instinct and anger surged in Yeoul’s heart.
This caused the aggression he had been suppressing to shine sharply. Yeoul’s heart beat rapidly.
But killing someone is murder…
Can you handle it?
It seemed like someone else was approaching and whispering to his inner self. Deep dizziness washed over him. Strength also drained from his body.
Then the front door opened roughly and someone entered.
“Stop!”
A familiar voice was heard. Yeoul barely endured his body that felt like it would faint and looked there. He could see Eun Sajun opening the front door and entering. The moment he saw him, darkness descended before Yeoul’s eyes and strength drained from his body.

Shin Taeon was sitting on the sofa. The walls and floor were all gray and full of the smell of dust. This was the office of the private lending capital that Shin Taeon operated. Soon the door opened and someone entered. At the same time, Shin Taeon frowned as if dumbfounded.
“What brings you here?”
The person who entered was none other than Geum Yeojin. And he had a cigarette in his mouth. Shin Taeon looked at Yeojin unpleasantly and furrowed his brow.
“This is a no-smoking area?”
“You’re talking crazy.”
Geum Yeojin twisted his lips. Because Shin Taeon also had a cigarette in his mouth. There were even cigarette butts packed tightly in the ashtray on the table.
“Why is a bastard who should be in a hospital room out here causing trouble?”
“I was cooped up every day so I felt stuffy and came out. Didn’t you prepare outdoor clothes for me to go around like this?”
“There were outdoor clothes in the hospital room?”
Shin Taeon furrowed his brow.
“There were? Stop pretending not to know… By the way, have you heard from Geum Yeoul?”
“I met him recently. But Eun Sajun is practically confining Geum Yeoul. He seems to be controlling even his phone to block external contact.”
“He’s having a hard time.”
“And I recently received contact that he found out the code.”
At the same time, Yeojin’s face turned pale.
“Really? He found it out?”
“Yeah.”
“This quickly?”
“I find that strange too. Eun Sajun has OCD and a nasty temper. I don’t know how Geum Yeoul, just a housekeeper, managed to do that.”
“……”
Geum Yeojin furrowed his brow and opened his mouth.
“You said that code is engraved on Eun Sajun’s body, right?”
“Yeah.”
“What part did he say it was?”
“He said it was on his chest?”
“His chest?”
Geum Yeojin’s brow furrowed as he muttered quietly.
“When I saw it, there was nothing like that…?”
“Huh? Did you have occasion to see Eun Sajun’s chest? You just had a housekeeper interview, right?”
Shin Taeon looked like he was wondering what he had just heard. Yeojin coughed awkwardly with a troubled face.
“Ah, well, there was roughly some occasion for that. In various ways, it’s strange that he found out the code this quickly. I think we need to check if that’s really the code?”
Shin Taeon became displeased and stubbed out the cigarette he was smoking on some documents next to the ashtray. It was a document with Eun Sajun’s personal information written on it.

The air was different. An unfamiliar scent that wasn’t the usual one he smelled was stabbing at Yeoul’s nose. Something sharp and irritating to the nose. Yet somehow familiar. Yeoul slowly lifted his eyelids. He saw yellow light for a moment, then it gradually took shape.
“Huh?”
He saw another unfamiliar ceiling. Yeoul quickly sat up. At the same time, he realized he was in a bed and also felt the sensation of someone holding his hand. Yeoul turned his head to look.
“Are you awake?”
He could see Eun Sajun’s face looking down at him. And the surrounding scenery came into his sight. Pure white walls and floor, and medical equipment surrounding the bed. A hospital? But the arranged furniture and atmosphere were too luxurious for that. Moreover, a chandelier was even elegantly hung from the ceiling.
“Uh…? Where is this…?”
“It’s a hospital.”
“A hospital?”
Yeoul had never seen such a hospital room in his life. It looked like a mansion had been moved here as is. His admiration was brief.
“Ah. What happened to that person?”
“Who?”
“The bodyguard who was in the bedroom with me. He was a rookie…”
“Ah… You mean Song Hobin?”
The young bodyguard who was timid seemed to be named Song Hobin. Yeoul nodded.
“Yes, that’s right.”
Eun Sajun’s expression quickly darkened.
“He’s hospitalized in another room.”
“Was he hurt?”
He nodded instead of answering.
He had thought the terrorists’ attention would be focused on him, but it seemed he was harmed afterward. Should he have brought him out somehow? Guilt washed over him.
“He’s not seriously injured. Don’t worry. How are you?”
“Me?”
“Your hand is hurt.”
Eun Sajun touched Yeoul’s bandaged hand.
“They said it wasn’t a deep cut, so that’s fortunate, but I was very shocked.”
“Ah… That… I had a bit of a situation.”
“I saw there was a terrorist with an injury to his neck. Did baby resist or something?”
“Ah, that somehow ended up happening like that.”
Following the situation where he had attacked Chris last time, the same thing had happened again. He became anxious that he might think strangely of him.
“I was so, so scared too.”
Yeoul acted like he was trembling to hide his true nature. Then Eun Sajun also looked worried.
“Oh my, you must have been very scared. But you did well. Our baby’s body is the most precious. Are you hurt anywhere else?”
“Hmm…”
Yeoul moved his head this way and that.
“Yes. I don’t feel any major pain or anything like that.”
“The doctor said it was temporary fainting and there are no major injuries, but he told me to let him know if anything feels strange.”
“I’m fine right now.”
“Tell me if you hurt even a little bit later.”
“Yes…”
Yeoul nodded then opened his mouth heavily.
“Then what happened to those men?”
“Who?”
“Those intruders called terrorists.”
“Ah… We took care of them on our end.”
The word “took care of” seemed to contain many meanings.
He was curious about what kind of people those terrorists were. But since his relationship with Eun Sajun would end soon, conflicting emotions of not wanting to know more coexisted simultaneously.
“Rest here until your hand heals.”
“Ah…”
“The mansion was also turned upside down, so we need to do repair work too.”
Yeoul nodded, remembering the messed-up living room. Eun Sajun soon looked at his wristwatch and got up from his seat.
“Then I have some business, so I’ll go out for a bit.”
“Yes? Yes…”
Eun Sajun got up from his seat and left. For a moment, Yeoul wanted to ask where he was going, but he refrained from this too, thinking it would be showing unnecessary interest.
