#85
Rain was pouring heavily outside the window. Inside, under the glow of an orange mood light, passion was blooming on the bed.
Taemin’s clothes lay on the floor. The blanket that had covered Idam was completely removed, exposing his naked body. His legs were spread, and Taemin was positioned between them.
He too was completely undressed, his erect dick deeply inserted into Idam’s open entrance.
“Ah. Pussy. Fuck.”
Taemin let out provocative moans. It was because the entrance had opened so easily without any preparation. The love juices were also sticky like a flood, making it feel even better than during a heat cycle.
Even if the body wasn’t normal due to pheromone shock, how could it be like this? He thought he had understood omegas to some extent by now, but it was amazing that there were still aspects he didn’t know.
“Haah…”
Finally fully inserted to the base, Taemin began to thrust slowly. It was an act that started with the desire to inject his pheromones deep into every part of Idam’s body. Of course, he wanted to keep looking at the beautiful, ailing Idam, but it would be troublesome if his life was in danger. So, deciding to see this pretty face again in another way, he focused on recovery for now.
With each thrust, the sound of fluids sloshing inside Idam’s belly echoed explicitly. With heat rising to his head, Taemin also started kissing. This was for the same reason as the penetration, but in truth, he just wanted to do it.
Idam’s lips were as wide open as his lower entrance, welcoming Taemin’s tongue. Taemin licked deeply inside Idam’s mouth like a fish swimming in the sea. He stroked every corner of the arched palate and slippery gums. It felt like he would melt away in ecstasy.
No matter how many times he tasted him, this fairy never got boring. He was so angry that his aversion had improved much faster than expected.
Idam sucked on Taemin’s tongue with his eyes closed. Gradually, his mouth movements became more active, and his Adam’s apple moved vigorously as he swallowed saliva. The pheromones gradually wafted like waves.
“Mmm…”
Gradually, Idam opened his eyes with difficulty. The closely pressed body heat was hot, and the sensation connecting his lips to his lower abdomen was hot. Slowly, Taemin’s blue eyes looked like the sea. For a moment, Idam was puzzled. Why were his lips pressed against Taemin’s?
Moreover, he could feel Taemin’s dick deeply embedded in his stomach. It was throbbing like a living thing.
But he wasn’t perplexed. Rather, it felt good. If possible, he wanted to be closer and deeper together.
Idam raised his arms and wrapped them around Taemin’s neck. He intertwined and explored his tongue with Taemin’s more actively than before. It felt like drinking the elixir of life, and it seemed like his fever was going down. Sensing life in Idam, Taemin slowly began to increase the speed of his thrusts. Naturally, their lips that had been pressed together parted.
“How’s your fever? Is it a bit better?”
“Yes… Yes…”
Idam nodded, feeling Taemin’s dick stirring inside him.
“You’re experiencing pheromone shock right now.”
Taemin relayed the diagnosis he had heard from the doctor earlier. Idam’s eyes widened as he listened.
“Ah… I think I’ve heard about it from Hayun… It’s a symptom that comes when you overdo it…”
“That’s why you need my pheromones now. They said it’s better if you’re deeply exposed all over your body. So, I’m going to be a bit rough.”
He started thrusting his hips vigorously. The bed, which had been calm, began to shake as if hit by an earthquake. Idam felt heat from the solid sensation stirring inside him. Unconsciously, he grabbed Taemin’s shoulders.
“Ah… Haa… Haa…”
“Is it hard?”
“Haa… Haa…”
“Tell me if it’s too much.”
“Ah… No… I’m… okay…”
In truth, he felt a burdensome sensation as if his stomach was being pierced, but he could endure it. Because Taemin was doing this for him now, and Idam loved him too.
He realized that love had the mysterious power to turn even pain into ecstasy.
* * *
“Haah…”
Idam opened his eyes with a moan. The mood light was off, and he could see the window. Although covered by curtains, the sky visible through the gaps was very clear. It felt as if it had never rained. Thanks to this, his hazy mind began to clear.
“Mr… Mr. CEO…”
Idam looked to the side as if having a seizure. Taemin, who had shared warmth with him all night, was nowhere to be seen. He placed his hand on the sheet. It was cool, suggesting Taemin had been gone for quite some time. Idam, his heart sinking, hastily got out of bed.
“Mr. CEO, where are you?”
He wandered around like a patient suffering from separation anxiety, but soon had to sit down. It was due to the pain he felt inside his thighs. However, more than this, the fact that Taemin was gone felt emptier and more frightening.
“Where… where did he go?”
He gritted his teeth and stood up again to search for him. It seemed he wasn’t in the bedroom. As he grabbed the doorknob to leave, he realized he wasn’t wearing anything. Moreover, his body was covered in red marks and bruises from Taemin’s bites and kisses, which made him feel embarrassed. Idam quickly found a robe to wear and opened the door.
Simultaneously, he saw the hallway and smelled a savory aroma. It seemed someone was cooking. But Taemin’s absence was Idam’s priority, so he ignored the smell and hurried his steps. He walked around barefoot, forgetting even to put on slippers. After a short while, he turned a corner and saw stairs leading to the first floor. As Idam was about to go down, he heard voices from below.
“You know that kid the CEO is keeping.”
“Oh, you mean the mistress?”
Idam perked up his ears at the mention of himself. He grabbed the stair railing and peeked down to see two female employees facing each other. They were staff assisting Lady An. Idam tensed, wondering what they were saying about him.
“Yes. I wonder how long the CEO will keep him around?”
“I don’t know. But doesn’t he treat him differently from the others he’s been with? He’s even personally cooking porridge for him now because he’s sick.”
What? Idam’s heart skipped a beat. Taemin was making porridge for him? Only then did Idam realize that the savory smell filling the villa was from the porridge. Filled with joy, Idam felt as if he was floating on a paper airplane.
On the other hand, he felt sorry that Taemin was going to such lengths unnecessarily. But he didn’t want to interrupt.
Idam returned to the bedroom, carrying a dreamy feeling. As a result, he didn’t hear the rest of the employees’ conversation.
“So what? The CEO will just throw him away when he gets bored anyway.”
“Isn’t that the fate of all kept men? How long do you think this one will last?”
“I think it’ll end soon.”
“What? You think it’ll end soon even though he’s putting in so much effort?”
“This is his usual pattern. He treats them extremely well and then suddenly goes cold overnight.”
The employee spoke as if it was nothing new.

Back in the bedroom, Idam realized his feet had turned black from walking around barefoot. He quickly went into the bathroom. When he carelessly looked in the mirror, he saw his disheveled face. There were stains around his mouth, as if he had drooled.
Taemin might come soon with the porridge, and he couldn’t be in such a messy state. Idam quickly washed his face and tidied his hair. After thoroughly washing his feet too, he looked neat and tidy. Idam returned to bed and lay down.
What would the porridge Mr. CEO made taste like? He was so excited he could barely contain himself.
How long had he been lying in bed with anticipation?
The door opened and Taemin entered. Dressed in pure white homewear, he looked like an angel descending.
“Oh? You’re awake.”
He sat on the edge of the bed and placed his hand on Idam’s forehead.
“How’s your fever?”
Idam just looked at him without saying anything. He thought if he didn’t answer, Taemin might touch him a little longer to check his temperature. As Idam intended, Taemin’s hand lingered on his forehead for quite a while.
“Ah, it seems your fever has gone down now.”
He asked various other questions too, like if Idam’s stomach was okay and if he felt dizzy. Idam answered each question, but he was impatient to eat the porridge Taemin had made. Finally, he started speaking while touching his stomach.
“But I’m hungry.”
“Oh, you’re hungry?”
“Yes.”
Idam nodded. Taemin, as if he had been waiting for this, pulled out a bed table and placed it in front of Idam.
“According to the doctor, you should eat something soft rather than regular food until you’re fully recovered. I’ve prepared some porridge. I’ll bring it.”
“Yes!”
Idam answered energetically.

What Taemin brought was beef porridge. In the white earthenware bowl, finely ground beef was mixed with various vegetables like carrots, pumpkin, and potatoes, and it looked appetizing with a drizzle of sesame oil. Above all, knowing that Taemin had made it himself made it seem like a jewel to Idam.
Swallowing once, Idam reached for the spoon. But his hand trembled. It seemed he hadn’t fully recovered yet. He still tried to use it, but Taemin gently took it away.
“I’ll feed you.”
“What? Will you, Mr. CEO… I mean, darling?”
Idam’s eyes moistened as if deeply moved.
“Of course. We should eat before it gets cold.”
Taemin scooped up some porridge, blew on it gently, and held it out. Idam felt grateful for his continued care but also sorry. In the end, though, he liked Taemin’s attention and quickly ate it. It tasted savory, sweet, and heavenly.
“How is it?”
“It’s… delicious. It’s incredibly delicious!”
Idam praised it as the best. But for some reason, Taemin tilted his head and wiped Idam’s eyes with his hand.
“Why are you crying?”
“What? Ah…”
Gradually, transparent tears rolled down Idam’s white cheeks. He didn’t know why this was happening when he wasn’t sad.
“Didn’t it taste good?”
“No, that’s not it. Really… I don’t know why I’m like this…”
“Or are you moved because it’s so delicious?”
“Yes. That must be it. That’s why I’m like this.”
Idam wiped his tears with the back of his hand. It definitely wasn’t sadness. As Taemin said, it must have been tears of emotion from being cared for like this by someone for the first time. Idam sniffled throughout the meal, but he finished all the porridge in no time. Taemin smiled with relief as he cleared the bowl.
“You ate well. You must be feeling much better.”
“Yes.”
“I’m glad your recovery is faster than expected. I was even more worried because you fell into the stream.”
“I was fine until I got out of the stream. But then suddenly I got a fever. Ah…”
Suddenly, Idam remembered the crystal he had saved.
“What happened to that woman?”
“I heard she’s recovering.”
In truth, Taemin didn’t know what state that woman was in now. That day, he was only focused on Idam’s life-or-death situation and didn’t see anything else. But if he said he didn’t know, he thought Idam might show more interest in that woman, so he gave a vague answer.
Not long after finishing the meal, Idam’s fever rose again.
“Oh no… I’ll bring some fever reducer for now, so lie down.”
Idam took the fever reducer Taemin brought and lay down again. Taemin also lay down beside Idam to share pheromones. Although it was still daytime, the blackout curtains were drawn and the mood light was on, creating a cozy atmosphere perfect for sleeping.
Feeling his fever gradually subside, Idam gathered courage and held Taemin’s hand. Taemin, as if responding to Idam’s feelings, held it back. It felt soft, firm, and good. Pink blush blossomed on Idam’s cheeks.
How much time had passed? Taemin seemed to have fallen asleep, his breathing audible. But Idam couldn’t sleep. It was because his burning feelings for Taemin had flared up unbearably.
Taemin was the first person to nurse him like this in his life. It felt like a hot flame had found him in the harsh winter. The heated, impulsive emotions grew uncontrollably.
I like you. I love you. I like you. I love you. These sweet words settled in his mouth, swirling around. His lips tingled, and his mind was completely filled with Taemin.
“Mr. CEO… I like you.”
In that moment, Idam’s feelings unconsciously slipped out of his mouth. He covered his lips, thinking “oh no,” but soon felt movement beside him.
Taemin’s closed eyes slowly opened.
