“No. It’s nothing.”
Yeoul forced an awkward smile. He was nervous that Eun Sajun might notice the knife.
“I see. Can you come here for a moment?”
He extended his hand. Yeoul took that hand as if bewitched. It was quite hot, as if he still had a fever. At the same time, Eun Sajun pulled his arm. In an instant, Yeoul’s small body was deeply embraced in his arms. His prominent nose settled on Yeoul’s nape and buried his head deeply.
“I’m curious about something.”
“Yes……?”
Yeoul became anxious. What kind of question was he going to ask? Since he was hiding many things from him right now, his heart pounded.
“Have you ever been in a relationship?”
“What?”
At his voice, Yeoul unconsciously raised his head. He met his blue eyes. They were clear and pure like they contained the sea.
“I’m just curious.”
“…….”
Why was he suddenly asking such a thing? It was confusing, but since not answering wouldn’t bring appropriate words to mind and it wasn’t such a sensitive topic that he absolutely had to avoid, he carefully opened his mouth.
“No……. I’ve never been in one.”
“Haha, I see.”
At the same time, Eun Sajun’s eye smile bloomed brightly. For some reason, he seemed to be in a very good mood.
“But why haven’t you with that face?”
“What? That’s…….”
Wasn’t that obvious? He didn’t think he had particularly outstanding looks and he was an extremely recessive omega. Also, he himself had no interest in romance and wasn’t in a situation to enjoy it. He was about to answer while hiding only the fact that he was an extremely recessive omega when Eun Sajun suddenly brought his face close. Yeoul almost lost his words at his beauty attack, but barely managed to calm down.
“Then have you ever had someone you liked?”
Why did he keep asking such questions? It was so confusing.
“No.”
This was also consistent with the reason he couldn’t date. Eun Sajun tilted his head.
“Were your standards too high?”
“Ah, that’s not it. I was just living so busily that I didn’t have the leisure to look around at anyone.”
“Hmm, then…….”
Eun Sajun slowly touched Yeoul’s lips. Feeling something suggestive in that touch, Yeoul tensed up and looked at him, wondering if he was going to kiss him again.
“If you had leisure time, would you be willing to date?”
“Date?”
These were things he had considered luxuries until now.
“Yeah. I’m curious.”
“Yes, I’d like to once complicated matters are settled.”
Even though he was like this, he had fantasies of wanting to try dating if someday there was someone who understood his heart. Although it seemed like a mirage he shouldn’t have.
“Are those complicated matters referring to childbirth?”
“What?”
Huh? He had just meant settling the debt relationship with Shin Taeon, but he could understand it as childbirth from his perspective. Yeoul nodded.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Hmm…….”
Gradually, Eun Sajun’s eyes became cold like ice.
“Then you’ll leave me after childbirth is over?”
“Yes……. That……. That’s right.”
On the surface, since it was a relationship bound by pregnancy, it was natural to say such a thing.
“I see. I understand. Were you surprised that I suddenly asked such burdensome questions?”
“Ah…. No.”
Since he couldn’t bring himself to say yes, he deflected by saying no.
“I was just curious so I asked. I want to sleep a little more, is that okay?”
Eun Sajun embraced Yeoul a little more strongly and lay down on the bed. Yeoul, who was suddenly made to lie down, was very flustered but couldn’t push him away, so he just leaned against him. His high body temperature and firm muscles felt very stable.
But his heart was heavy.
‘Kill Eun Sajun.’
Thinking about carrying out that order Shin Taeon had given made his breath catch. Why didn’t things go according to plan? He felt like crying from the complexity of it all. How much time passed as he worried and worried again? Whether it was because of the comfortable bed or Eun Sajun’s warmth, his eyes gradually closed.
It was bewildering that sleep would come when facing such a serious worry. And eventually he fell asleep.
* * *
When Yeoul opened his eyes again, the hospital room was bright. Yeoul reflexively checked the spot next to him, feeling empty. Eun Sajun, who had been holding him, was away from his spot. With a hazy mind, he got down from the bed and looked around.
“CEO-nim?”
He couldn’t sense his presence. Had he gone out with his unwell body? As he was looking around the hospital room like that, he realized with a start.
Right. The knife. His heart sank, wondering if Eun Sajun might have discovered it.
He hurriedly looked under the bed. Fortunately, the knife was still intact under the bed. It seemed no one had discovered it yet. Yeoul quickly retrieved the knife before anyone could see. His heart pounded with tension.
But he couldn’t keep carrying it on his body, so he had to move it somewhere else……. Yeoul’s round eyes moved quickly. This place had limited furniture and nurses or doctors visited frequently, so places to hide it were very limited.
He thought about hiding it in the relatively safe dressing room and was approaching there to grab the doorknob when suddenly the door opened. At the same time, a long shadow fell over Yeoul. Yeoul almost jumped out of his skin.
“Oh? You’re awake?”
Eun Sajun had come out from inside. At his unexpected appearance, Yeoul’s body almost flipped backward but he barely maintained his balance. He hurriedly moved the hand holding the knife behind his back.
“Were you going to change clothes?”
“Yes…. Yes….”
“Change after washing.”
Looking closely, he seemed to have just finished showering as his hair still had moisture. It seemed he had undressed in the dressing room after washing.
“Ah, right. I should change after showering.”
Yeoul answered awkwardly.
“If I had known you’d wake up right away, I shouldn’t have washed first. I should have washed our baby.”
He slightly frowned his eyebrows as if somewhat regretful.
“Or should I help you shower now?”
“What? No, no.”
Yeoul was flustered by his crazy straightforward comment.
“Then, I’ll go wash.”
He carefully stepped backward. He was nervous that if he made a wrong move now, the knife might be discovered.
“The bathroom is here.”
Eun Sajun pointed to a door located inside.
“Ah. Yes. I’ll, I’ll go.”
Yeoul headed toward the bathroom. But he had to walk backward to hide the knife. As his posture became strained, sweat naturally began to form on his palms. At Yeoul’s appearance, Eun Sajun tilted his head.
“Why are you walking like that? Is something uncomfortable?”
“No, no. Please dry your hair.”
Yeoul hoped his attention would turn elsewhere. But Eun Sajun’s gaze remained fixed on Yeoul and wouldn’t leave.
“Your legs seem uncomfortable?”
“No!”
Please stop looking! Yeoul shook his head, feeling his insides burn. That’s when it happened.
Knock knock.
A knocking sound was heard. Eun Sajun’s gaze moved to the door.
“What is it?”
“CEO-nim, I have something to tell you about work.”
Soon Secretary Kim entered the hospital room holding a tablet.
“It’s about actor Min Jiwoo wanting to adjust his security schedule.”
“Security schedule?”
Soon the two began talking. Thinking it was an opportunity, Yeoul hurriedly stuffed the knife into his back pants pocket. This freed both his hands. And he quickly escaped from his spot and entered the bathroom. The hospital room didn’t seem to have any suitable hiding spaces anyway, and since it came to this, he decided to just hide the knife in the bathroom.
He could see a wide bathtub and shower booth. And a storage cabinet came into view in one corner. First, he stepped on the edge of the bathtub and climbed up to place the knife on top of the storage cabinet. It wouldn’t be immediately visible here. But this was a temporary measure. He thought he should look around the hospital room more and hide it properly.
When Yeoul came down from the bathtub and was about to go out again, the door opened and Eun Sajun showed his face.
“Are you washing?”
Huk. Startled, Yeoul hurriedly turned on the water and took a posture of undressing.
“Yes…. Yes…. I was about to wash.”
“Aha.”
But he remained motionless, staring at Yeoul. This made Yeoul troubled. Why does he keep looking? Please leave. Yeoul was feeling his insides burn up when.
“Let’s wash together.”
“What?”
At Eun Sajun’s statement, Yeoul’s body froze. What kind of nonsense was this?
“Wash together? Didn’t CEO-nim just wash a moment ago?”
“Since baby is washing alone, I’m uncomfortable, so I’ll wash you.”
He eventually entered the bathroom. Yeoul’s pupils shook violently.
This isn’t right. This isn’t right!
“What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable?”
“No…. I…. CEO-nim, your shoulder is injured too. It’s okay.”
He knew thinking like this was bad, but he thought it was a decent excuse.
“Ah….”
“I…. I’ll wash alone. I’m not even a baby. Well.”
“You are a baby.”
He suddenly embraced Yeoul. And he buried his nose in Yeoul’s nape and breathed in deeply.
“Being like this feels really good.”
He chuckled ominously. Soon his gaze was fixed on Yeoul.
“Baby. I feel like you’re going to get pregnant soon.”
“What?”
It was confusing why he suddenly said such a thing. Was he saying this because they had sex at that abandoned hospital recently?
Moreover, perhaps because of those words, his lower abdomen seemed to ache for no reason. He was an extremely recessive omega, so there was no way he could get pregnant.
