Episode 46
He hesitated, wondering whether to ask. But once captivated, no other thoughts came to mind. Si-yul kicked at pebbles in his path before finally speaking. “CEO,” he called, and Woo Hyun-se turned. The shadows cast by the fire danced across his face. Finding it difficult to meet his gaze, Si-yul quickly looked at the fire.
“You were in rut last time, weren’t you? A while ago.”
“I was. Why?”
“……How long until your next rut?”
“That’s a rather blunt question.”
“Is it rude to ask this?”
“Not particularly,” Woo Hyun-se said, setting down the cup he was holding on the table. He leaned back, resting his elbows on the armrests, and looked up at the sky before turning to Si-yul. This time, he didn’t avoid his gaze. Si-yul, leaning towards the bonfire, looked at Woo Hyun-se.
“It shouldn’t be too long. It’ll probably be soon.”
The woman’s shout from the cafe flashed through his mind. *Didn’t you know you were in rut that day? What did you do?* His hands were cold, yet he was sweating. He clenched his fists, partly to hide it.
“So, what am I supposed to do during your rut?”
Woo Hyun-se stared intently at him. Whether it was his gaze or the fire, Si-yul’s cheeks flushed.
“No, I was wondering… should I just go out for a while…?”
His throat felt parched. If Woo Hyun-se was looking for an omega, he should naturally vacate the house, shouldn’t he? He didn’t want to, the thought alone made him furious, but rut wasn’t something he could solve.
Despite having steeled his resolve and made his intentions clear, Woo Hyun-se burst into loud laughter, finding something incredibly amusing. Si-yul jumped up. His chair fell backward, but his outburst came first: “Why are you laughing?!”
“Wow, I never thought you’d be thinking like this.”
“No, it’s just… when the CEO is in rut, don’t you have to… you know… with an omega?”
Woo Hyun-se continued to chuckle, unable to easily stop. Tears even welled up in the corners of his eyes. After a long bout of laughter, he finally composed himself when Si-yul huffed.
“If you were to find someone else…”
It sounded less like a hypothetical and more like a statement of fact. Si-yul’s eyes immediately welled up. He lowered his head to hide them. He knew it was inevitable, he’d even braced himself for the possibility, but hearing it directly from Woo Hyun-se felt like a heavy weight had landed on his chest.
Woo Hyun-se spending a night with someone else. He might hear that sound again, the one he’d heard over the phone before. Sharing the same kisses, holding hands, touching, and intertwining bodies. The thought alone ignited a fire within him, but he couldn’t utter a word, only his breath hitched.
Woo Hyun-se quietly observed Si-yul, scrutinizing him. His gaze was dissecting, as if trying to discern the emotions hidden in his eyes. Only when Si-yul’s eyes grew moist did he finally lean back against the chair.
“That won’t happen. I’ll use suppressants.”
“Really?”
Woo Hyun-se nodded. Si-yul’s expression brightened instantly. His tears disappeared. He was being toyed with, but a bright smile appeared only for a moment before the words he’d heard from Woo Taeju resurfaced, making him gloomy again.
“Apparently, suppressants don’t work well on alphas…”
“I’m a heat-type, remember?”
“I don’t believe you.”
*Where did you hear that lie?* Si-yul glared, replying coldly. Whether it was teasing or not, Woo Hyun-se chuckled and brushed it off.
“It’s fine if you get a prescription from the hospital. It’s just potent.”
“……How potent?”
“You’ll be sleepy all day. It’s called a suppressant, but it’s more like a sleeping pill. You’ll just be drowsy until the rut ends.”
He didn’t know about ruts, but he’d seen firsthand how much pain Kwon Yuwon was in during her heat, so he understood the severity of the suffering. Still, he couldn’t bring himself to tell him not to take the suppressants. Joy and sadness mingled within him. He was grateful, heartbroken, and sorry for Woo Hyun-se. But above all, what filled his heart was…
Si-yul hesitated before approaching Woo Hyun-se. Then, he suddenly hugged him. He’d never hugged Woo Hyun-se like this before, while fully conscious and initiating the embrace. But he couldn’t help it. His heart had told him to do it before he even thought about it.
That Woo Hyun-se’s decision was for him.
It might have been a delusion, but his heart was already melting. Perhaps it had melted completely in the bonfire, leaving only Woo Hyun-se’s name. Only Woo Hyun-se’s scent, voice, and body heat filled him.
He was too big to hold comfortably, but Si-yul hugged him tightly with all his might, burying his face in his soft hair. It was only possible because Woo Hyun-se was sitting down.
Woo Hyun-se was surprised for a moment, but soon returned the hug, holding Si-yul’s waist. Si-yul wanted to whisper. Countless words danced on his tongue. He opened and closed his mouth, but couldn’t speak. Words of gratitude and apology only welled up inside, unable to escape.
If he were to condense all the sentences filling his throat, it would be a single word: I like you.
Or perhaps something deeper. Woo Hyun-se was an ocean. Like slowly wading in, until the water reached his head, Si-yul was submerged in Woo Hyun-se.
They hurried into the camper van. Pulling down the blinds, they kissed immediately. As if the bonfire had spread to them, their hands moved urgently to undress each other. The ceiling was low, their arms would bump if they stretched, but neither of them cared.
After kissing endlessly, Woo Hyun-se bit Si-yul’s earlobe. He slid his tongue along the curve, into the hole, while diligently stripping Si-yul’s pants with his hands. He undressed him completely, leaving not a single thread, and laid him on the floor where a blanket had been spread. The bed was too small for one person, let alone two, so the floor was better for them to be intertwined.
Woo Hyun-se grasped Si-yul’s breast with a strong grip, taking his nipple into his mouth. He flicked it with his tongue and licked it sensually, causing the small nipple to harden. The pale pink areola deepened in color.
His lower body was also hard. The tip was already ripe, like an apple. Woo Hyun-se’s fingertips brushed against it, intentionally or unintentionally, causing it to tremble and form clear droplets. A few more strokes, and it would be dripping with semen.
Si-yul shyly covered his lower body with one hand. Even though they’d done everything, his blatant gaze was embarrassing. As he tried to cover his eyes and close his legs with one arm, a hand slapped his inner thigh. It was a hard slap, enough to leave a red mark.
“Don’t close your legs in front of me. Keep them open.”
He grabbed his knees and spread them. He moved the hand covering his lower body away, and Woo Hyun-se grasped his erect dick. He gently moved it, causing Si-yul’s legs to involuntarily close. After another slap in the same spot, they finally stayed open.
“Ha, ugh…”
Even when provoked, his dick was clean and pretty, without a single visible vein. Its delicate pink hue matched the flushed color of its owner’s face. His testicles, still covered in soft down, were small and soft.
Si-yul stifled a giggle. Even though they were alone, they were in a car, and outside was a completely open field. Worried someone might pass by, he bit his wrist to suppress his sounds, but long, firm fingers dug into his mouth. They intertwined with his tongue, slowly becoming wet.
Suck marks and the imprints of strong suction remained around his nipples. His lips moved lower, wandering over his stomach, to his navel, and then lower. Si-yul, who had been languidly sprawled out, suddenly sat up. Woo Hyun-se’s head was below his lower abdomen.
He quickly grabbed his head, but it was too late. Woo Hyun-se glanced at him, smirked mischievously, opened his mouth, and took his dick into his mouth. As soon as it entered the warm cavern of his mouth, Si-yul’s stomach tightened, and a shiver ran down his spine. He almost came. Si-yul struggled to pull his head away, but the sucking only intensified.
“Don’t, ah, why… ! Let go, I don’t… ah, ugh…!”
He spat out his fingers and protested. Instead of putting it back in his mouth, Woo Hyun-se ran his wet fingers down, probing between his balls. He rubbed the entrance and smoothly slid his middle finger inside. Si-yul gasped, covering his mouth with both hands.
As Woo Hyun-se’s cheeks hollowed, Si-yul’s flat stomach trembled. He struggled to get away, only to receive a resounding slap on his buttocks and thighs. He grabbed his hair, but couldn’t pull it. As his tongue wrapped around his shaft, his strength gave way, his toes curling.
This sensation was new. His lower body felt like it was melting like ice cream on his tongue. When his wet tongue wrapped around his shaft, his whole body felt limp, as if his bones had disappeared.
The number of fingers inside him had increased. When he pressed and stroked his dick, his erect dick pulsed with fluid. Si-yul gritted his teeth, determined not to cum in Woo Hyun-se’s mouth, but he was reaching his limit. He had no immunity to this kind of act; even just having his head sucked made his thighs tremble.
“Ah, I, I… stop, stop, that—!”
He sat up abruptly, grabbing Woo Hyun-se’s hair with both hands. He managed to pull his head away just in time, but he came at the same moment. A thick white stream spurted out, dripping down Woo Hyun-se’s cheek. Si-yul gasped, hunching his shoulders. He flinched, then quickly raised his head.
