Chapter 65
◆
Just as he was starting to feel some bodily fatigue, the clock was already pointing to 2 AM. Fortunately, nothing unusual had happened today, but perhaps due to being constantly on edge, his body felt heavier and more exhausted than after a full day of taekwondo practice. However, it wasn’t time to rest yet, nor should he. Since he couldn’t let his guard down, Igeon sharpened his senses and looked around. The living room was quiet.
Han Taekyung had fallen asleep a couple of hours ago, Kang Yuhan even earlier, and the rest of the family had already entered deep sleep, leaving Igeon alone in the quiet house. Yet, perhaps because of the warm atmosphere, he didn’t feel lonely.
[Seo Igeon, your replacement is coming in now]
“Mr. Seo Igeon.”
After Instructor Kim’s radio message, just as he sensed someone’s presence, the security guard who would temporarily replace Igeon arrived. To be honest, leaving Taekyung’s side even for a moment didn’t sit well with him, but with his current mental state, he didn’t think he could properly protect him. For the sake of later, it seemed better to get even a little sleep, so Igeon greeted the security guard.
“Yes, I’ll leave it to you.”
“Are you going to the boss?”
“No. I plan to stay in the room next door. I’ve received permission from the boss.”
“Understood. I’ll wake you up in three hours, so get some rest.”
“Thank you, Sunbae.”
Igeon opened the door to the adjacent room. As soon as he entered, the enveloping warmth allowed him to finally relax. If possible, he would have preferred to sleep in the designated quarters like the other security personnel, but after hearing the story behind this room earlier, he couldn’t do that. He felt he should at least lie down once in the quarters that Taekyung had prepared for him in the past. Naturally, he couldn’t sleep in the pajamas prepared for him, but at least he took off his jacket, hung it on the coat rack, and lay down on the comfortable bed. Just in case, he placed his gun under the pillow.
“Whew….”
Was it because the layout was similar to home? His mind felt at ease. Igeon focused on the ticking sound from his wristwatch as he slowly closed his eyes.

‘Ah….’
His body was dragged helplessly by the powerful grip on his legs. His two legs were forcibly spread apart, and something hot strongly pushed in and forcibly opened the place he thought no one would ever touch, the place he thought would never be penetrated.
‘Ah, it hurts—fuck!!’
It hurt like he was going to die. He screamed for it to stop. He said don’t do it, told him to come to his senses, but the dark figure with red eyes who had opened his body had no intention of stopping. The penis that had entered with strong thrusts began to wet the dry area with red blood and pre-cum. But while the movement became smoother, the pain didn’t lessen.
‘Ugh!! Aagh!!’
With pain like his lower half was being stabbed with a knife, all he could do was scream horribly. Then he felt the movement below becoming alarmingly faster. What was about to happen now was an act that would cause incomparable pain and shatter an alpha’s pride. Igeon struggled, trying to push away the dark figure.
‘Fuck!! No knotting!! Absolutely not! Don’t do it!!’
But the dark figure smiled until the corners of his mouth tore. It was an unpleasant smile, as if saying that was exactly what he wanted. And finally, when he moved his hips greatly and the large thing pulled out completely once, then thrust in all at once, the penis deeply embedded began to gradually increase in size and swell while Igeon, who was trembling with his mouth open from the shock, had no chance to stop it.
‘Ugh— Aagh!! Ah!!’
It was such tremendous pain that he couldn’t even say it hurt. Pulling at his insides, the penis settled somewhere and was endlessly pouring its seed into that place. It definitely wouldn’t result in pregnancy and he knew that, but as if wishing for pregnancy nonetheless.
‘Please— fuck, Han Taekyung— it hurts!! Please stop… Pull it out! Out!!’
You bastard, you son of a bitch. I’ll— you’ll pay for this later.
‘Fuck— say something, anything!’
Don’t keep your mouth shut like that, please say something other than nonsense about wanting to mark me— I need that to wake up from this nightmare. Han Taekyung. Please!
“Seo Igeon.”
Huh…?
The unfamiliar low resonance spreading in his ears snapped Igeon to full consciousness. Seeing the red eyes in front of him, he genuinely panicked, screamed, and pulled out the gun he had hidden under the pillow.
“What’s wrong? What happened?!”
The security guard who was guarding Han Taekyung in place of Igeon was startled and opened the door. The light from the living room brightened the dark room, allowing him to see the face of the man with red eyes. It was Han Taekyung. And Igeon was pointing a gun at him, while he looked down at Igeon with an expressionless face as if it was nothing.
“Mr. Seo Igeon, why are you pointing a gun at the Executive Director—”
“Ah…. I didn’t know who would wake me… I’m sorry.”
Igeon quickly lowered the gun.
“How can I sleep when you’re making so much noise in the next room.”
Han Taekyung sighed and ran his hand through his hair. Igeon was embarrassed by his words. He made noise? Surely… he didn’t say out loud exactly what he had just dreamed? If he had, his senior would have heard it. If he had heard, he would have entered the room earlier.
“Did you have a nightmare?”
The senior asked Igeon while hiding the gun again, and Igeon nodded.
“I’m sorry.”
“No, it’s good if it was just a nightmare… You’ve only slept for an hour now. Sleep for two more hours. I’ll wake you up. Then I’ll—”
The senior nodded, saluted Han Taekyung, turned on the room light, and closed the door.
“I apologize, Executive Director Han. I’ve become too sensitive.”
“It seems so. Your pheromones were jumping so much they kept people from sleeping.”
“Did I release my pheromones?”
Good Lord, how many mistakes have I made? Currently, his pheromones weren’t in a released state. It seemed like he had instinctively released his pheromones while having that dream.
“I’m sorry.”
“……”
What is it? I wish he would leave now… Han Taekyung’s gaze continued to be felt. Was it because of the dream just now? Somehow, he couldn’t raise his head to meet Han Taekyung’s eyes. It must be because his eyes were red right now.
“When I look at you… you really need a lot of taking care of.”
Surprised by the sudden informal speech, Igeon raised his head. The deep red color felt like it would swallow him up at any moment. Nevertheless, he looked at him without avoiding it, and Han Taekyung blinked, turned around, turned off the light, and left the room. Unlike the door through which the senior had left earlier, there was one more door on the side of the bed, and at a glance, it seemed to be connected to Han Taekyung’s room. Left alone, Igeon sighed deeply. He hadn’t had that dream for a long time… Was it because he was close to Han Taekyung? He didn’t know why he dreamed about that time again. Igeon gently rubbed the tingling inside of his abdomen, as if he had just been knotted, and lay down on the bed again.

“Mr. Seo Igeon, it’s been a while since you visited.”
A doctor wearing a white coat with the nameplate ‘Choi Myung-woon’ smiled at Igeon. It was understandable because this doctor had been treating Igeon almost exclusively, and was the only person who knew that Igeon had slept with an alpha and even been knotted. And also that the relationship had not been formed out of love. In short, he was someone who had helped Igeon a lot to overcome what happened then.
“Yes, it’s been a while, Dr. Choi.”
“Let’s see.”
The tests Igeon had taken before seeing the doctor had all been completed and sent to Choi Myung-woon, who was touching the monitor and examining Seo Igeon’s test results.
“Hmm, pheromone levels, immunity, and all tests are within normal range. That’s a relief.”
“Thank you.”
“Has something happened? I thought your regular checkup was scheduled for next month.”
“Ah, I don’t think I’ll be able to come next month due to work.”
“I see.”
After having that dream that night, he had come for a regular checkup just in case. Fortunately, his pheromone deficiency syndrome hadn’t returned like before, and everything was normal. Igeon thanked the doctor and left the hospital. Since it was a day off, Igeon leisurely sat on a hospital bench and looked up at the blue sky.
In truth, Igeon was somewhat relieved that Han Taekyung didn’t fully remember. He wished he wouldn’t remember what happened that day. It wasn’t Han Taekyung’s fault, nor his own. It was an unavoidable incident caused by those cockroaches. However, given Han Taekyung’s personality, if he remembered that day, he would surely blame himself and suffer. That’s why he hoped he wouldn’t remember. Igeon, too, had buried that incident.
“So please, don’t remember that incident.”
Igeon looked up at the sky and stood up. At that moment, the phone in his pocket rang, and he checked it. It was a message from Kang Yuhan.
– Make some time for me.
– I have something I must tell you.
Once a day, Kang Yuhan would send a message like this. Each time, Igeon would check the message but never send a reply. Whatever he had to say, Igeon had no intention of listening. That’s how it had to be.
“Maybe I’ll teach the kids for a change.”
Igeon put his phone back in his pocket and moved his body around. It was the time when Instructor Jin would be busy teaching the children at the gym. Since he had some free time today and wanted to move his body, it was the perfect day for taekwondo.
