“Huff… huff!”
Yeoul ran like crazy toward entrance 5.
He didn’t know why things got tangled up every time he tried to meet Shin Taeon. The biggest problem was that he still hadn’t figured out where entrance 5 was located.
He was at the point where he wanted to sit down and cry, but right now he had no choice but to keep running. He passed through several maze-like corridors. A new lobby with a different chair arrangement from where he had been before unfolded along with an entrance. He hurriedly checked the sign. It said entrance 5.
“Finally… I found it…”
He felt like he had been drifting at sea on a raft and discovered land. But this tremendous joy turned into urgency. Shin Taeon had said earlier that he would come here within 10 minutes. Since Yeoul didn’t know the hospital structure well and had wandered quite a bit to get here, he expected considerable time had already passed. He hurriedly looked for a wall clock. 12:09. The promised time had already passed.
“Uh… what do I do…”
Shin Taeon extremely hated the act of being late. So even if interest payments were just one second late from the agreed deposit date, he would throw all kinds of tantrums and fits. Right now, this moment was even more frightening. Moreover, in the midst of this grim situation, he had to worry about Eun Sajun too.
Wait…
What if the two of them encounter each other here? Yeoul’s face turned pale. At a glance, he looked like a living corpse. Anxiety surged as Yeoul looked around, wondering if Eun Sajun had followed him.
Only patients and guardians were visible, and he couldn’t even see anyone particularly tall or handsome enough to be presumed as Eun Sajun. It seemed he had lost track of him.
“Phew…”
That was fortunate for now. Relieved, Yeoul wanted to focus on Shin Taeon again and checked every corner of the lobby once more. He wasn’t visible anywhere. He was also tall and a foreigner, so he should be easily noticeable. It was really maddening. Why did things keep getting so tangled up?
Now that Eun Sajun wasn’t visible, it was the perfect situation to deal with Shin Taeon, but he needed to hurry and tell Shin Taeon the code…
Yeoul, caught in obsession, was going crazy. That’s when it happened.
“Ah…”
Suddenly his vision went dark and his stomach churned. Heat rose to his nape and his lower abdomen felt heavy too.
“Why… why is this happening…?”
It was a sensation he had never felt once in his life until now. He wondered if it was body aches, but it felt different from that. What on earth was this? Bewildered, Yeoul first leaned his back against the wall. In front, he could see a large floor-to-ceiling window.
“Huh?”
Through that glass, a familiar sedan came into his sight. It was presumed to be Shin Taeon’s car that he had seen ad nauseam for several years. Yeoul went out opening the lobby door as if enchanted. The owner of the sedan seen from a bit closer was even more clearly Shin Taeon. Yeoul quickly checked the car’s license plate.
“That’s right. That’s it…”
It wasn’t particularly something he had tried to memorize, but from seeing it often, the numbers remained in his head like a photograph. Yeoul urgently knocked on the rear seat window. Because that was mainly where Shin Taeon rode.
“President Shin! It’s me!”
But there was no movement. The tinting was so dark that he couldn’t see inside either. Had he left his seat? It was a moment when hope was instantly corrupted into despair. Yeoul was going even more crazy.
That’s when it happened. A familiar pheromone was felt at the tip of his nose. The terrible but sweet fragrance he had often felt recently. Yeoul hurriedly turned his head. Eun Sajun was coming out of entrance 5. And he was intensely staring at him.
“Eek!”
It was scary as if he had discovered a scene from a horror movie. Yeoul ended up running again. Since going out like this seemed like Shin Taeon would be somewhere in this building, he came back inside the hospital. And he ran endlessly and ran again.
Would he be able to meet Shin Taeon like this? Yeoul gradually felt his vision turning yellow. It was like a snake full of heat was coiling around his body and tightening. Tired, Yeoul first sat in a corner of the corridor and caught his breath.
“Haah… haah… haah…”
He wiped away the sweat drops flowing on his forehead with his hand. Even though it wasn’t midsummer, he felt like he was facing tremendous sweltering heat. After wiping off some sweat, he organized his thoughts. Looking at the current situation, it seemed difficult to meet Shin Taeon and tell him the code.
What should he do? What should he do? What should he do?
Yeoul looked around to see how he should break through this situation.
“Ah!”
That’s when Yeoul’s eyes saw a bathroom. Something came to mind as Yeoul went there as if enchanted.
Fortunately, there was no one inside and there were paper tissues at the sink. Yeoul pulled out about three sheets. He immediately came back outside. Just in case he might encounter Eun Sajun, he carefully examined the inside. In doing so, he entered a space bustling with people again.
It was right at the reception desk. There was a pen placed on the long table. Yeoul’s eyes sparkled. He quickly approached and picked up the pen. He wrote the code numbers on the paper tissue. Since Eun Sajun was following him, he planned to at least hand this over to Shin Taeon in preparation for urgent situations.
But he didn’t know where on earth Shin Taeon was. Could he really not be visible like this? He wondered if the world was secretly filming a hidden camera show targeting him. His insides burned with frustration.
That’s when it happened.
“Geum Yeoul!”
A thick voice rang out as if to swallow the inside of the hospital. At the same time, Yeoul felt a sensation as if his heart was falling out and turned his head there. It was Shin Taeon.
“Where the fuck were you? Don’t you know I extremely hate being late?”
“Eek!”
Yeoul was both glad and shocked at the same time. Currently, Eun Sajun might be prowling around this area like a shark, so what if he shouted his real name out loud? Yeoul approached Shin Taeon in a hurry as if walking on a road on fire.
“Let’s move locations first.”
“Hah… fuck, you’re really high maintenance.”
“Uh… CEO Eun Sajun is chasing me right now.”
“What? Why is that bastard?”
“I secretly came out of the hospital room.”
Shin Taeon stared at Yeoul and tilted his head.
“But why is your face so red?”
Soon after, he recoiled as if uncomfortable.
“Shit… what is this smell coming from your body…?”
“Me… me?”
“You… don’t tell me you’ve imprinted with Eun Sajun?”
“Imprinting…?”
He wondered what crazy thing Shin Taeon was saying now. Even as a joke, it was words that made his liver turn cold. Shin Taeon also seemed to think he had talked nonsense as he looked embarrassed and swept up his bangs.
“First, tell me the code…”
Bzz.
That’s when Shin Taeon’s phone vibrated.
“Ah, wait a minute. A big client said they want to borrow money, so I need to set up a time appointment now.”
“What?”
He didn’t know what this absurd talk was when every minute and second was urgent now. He didn’t have the luxury to wait for him right now.
“J… just a moment… I… this.”
Yeoul urgently held out the tightly crumpled paper tissue. But Shin Taeon gestured as if telling him not to come and went into a corner.
What kind of shitty timing is this…
He was momentarily shocked and frozen. But in the current situation, he couldn’t grab Shin Taeon by the collar. Thinking he should wait for now, he leaned his back against the wall. It was really difficult. As if someone was playing a prank, things kept getting tangled.
“Baby?”
“!”
When he looked toward where the startling sound came from, this time Eun Sajun was there. Right now, Shin Taeon was just beyond one wall. He was dumbfounded by this fate-like prank situation.
“Where did you go around like that? I was worried.”
He approached with a gentle face, opposite to Shin Taeon. But the shadow cast on his face also felt like a monster.
“Are you hurt somewhere?”
“No… I…”
What would happen if Shin Taeon and Eun Sajun encountered each other here? Shin Taeon would resent Yeoul for creating this situation and there was a high possibility he would threaten not to leave Yeojin alone. And Eun Sajun might also talk about compensation for damages, asking if he had been deceiving him all this time.
Between the two alphas, there couldn’t be a worst-case scenario worse than this. First, he had to avoid a situation where the two confronted each other. In the end, Yeoul started running toward the opposite side from the corner where Shin Taeon was currently located. He hoped Eun Sajun would follow him.
And fortunately, Eun Sajun followed. Thanks to that, he could avoid the worst situation of the two meeting.
Having run hard like that, Yeoul eventually arrived in front of a corner window on the second floor.
“Haah, haah…”
He took ragged breaths and felt relieved. Though he had lured Eun Sajun this way, Shin Taeon would cause a scene when he realized he had disappeared…
“Hah, this is really driving me crazy.”
When Yeoul, whose insides were burning, was about to sigh.
“Geum Yeoul! Where are you!”
Shin Taeon’s voice was heard again from beyond the window. Yeoul quickly looked outside the window. He could see him pacing around the vicinity with a highly excited face. It seemed that after Yeoul disappeared, he had moved outside the hospital. Yeoul looked behind him. Eun Sajun’s shadow wasn’t visible yet either.
Now… there’s no other way.
Yeoul opened the window as if making a big decision.
“President!”
At Yeoul’s shout, Shin Taeon looked up.
“What?”
“Please catch this. It’s here!”
Yeoul threw the bundle of paper tissue to Shin Taeon. But due to the blowing wind, the tissue was flying in the opposite direction from Shin Taeon. However, Shin Taeon agilely followed and stretched out his long arm to catch it skillfully. He quickly unfolded and looked at the paper tissue.
At the same time, Shin Taeon’s eyes lit up. His raised lips were full of confidence. He looked up at Yeoul.
“I confirmed it. Let’s contact each other later for now.”
He took the paper tissue with a face soaked in ecstasy. Yeoul also finally felt like he was alive. Now he would escape from Eun Sajun. With tension released, Yeoul sat down.
“Haah…”
Magma-like heat struck him once more. Gradually, a shadow formed behind Yeoul. Startled, Yeoul turned his head.
“I was wondering where our baby went again, and here you are doing what.”
Eek. When did he follow again? But now, with the liberation of having finished what he needed to do, he thought it didn’t matter anyway.
“Ah… earlier I had an urgent need for the… bathroom… so I did that.”
“Really like a baby. Can’t even hold that in.”
Eun Sajun smiled and examined Yeoul’s condition. His eyes, which had been smiling, soon became sharp.
“Baby, it seems like you’re having a heat cycle right now.”
“What?”
Yeoul looked back in dismay.
“What do you mean I’m having a heat cycle?”
Yeoul was an extremely recessive omega. There was absolutely no way such a thing could happen. As the pheromones gradually thickened, Eun Sajun put his lips to Yeoul’s nape and sucked deeply.
“You have a fever, right?”
“Yes…”
“Your stomach aches too, right…?”
“Yes…”
“It’s definitely a heat cycle.”
Yeoul thought Eun Sajun was lying right now.
