Chapter 60
Hyeon-woo cried as if he were dying, unable to make a sound.
The emotional fulfillment he felt through K, the overwhelming joy, the satisfaction of being loved as an Omega, and all the sensations he received in that embrace were so horrific that he couldn’t bear it. The only Alpha who had given him solace as an Omega turned out to be the cruel Tae-geon.
What made it even harder for Hyeon-woo to endure was the fact that he kept recalling that cozy and warm embrace during the lonely nights. The only Alpha who fervently desired him, despite being an incomplete half.
Even knowing that it was all an illusion created by Tae-geon, Hyeon-woo couldn’t sever his longing for K’s embrace.
A deep sense of emptiness washed over him.
He could never return to the way things were between you and me.
He had just broken out of the shell of a world where Tae-geon was everything and was only just beginning to flap his wings. However, at that moment when he tried to stand as an independent individual, he was once again caught in Tae-geon’s grasp.
He knew that Tae-geon would never let him go, even if it meant breaking his wings, but the thought of being trapped again in Tae-geon’s cruel nest made him feel that dying would be better. He was fed up with that twisted possessiveness.
Tae-geon’s obsession with him was not love. It was the childish possessiveness of a kid who didn’t want to lose what he had in his hands. If he had understood and respected him even a little, he wouldn’t have treated his feelings so carelessly.
“Tell me who the father of the baby is.”
“…….”
Tae-geon’s relentless questioning continued. Hyeon-woo wrapped his arms around his belly.
The baby in his womb was the only thing Hyeon-woo had salvaged in exchange for his crushed heart. He didn’t want it to become a means for Tae-geon to bind him. He didn’t want to reveal even a tiny bit of the precious fruit he had cherished to the man who had cruelly deceived him.
Even if it meant being completely stripped of his last shred of dignity in front of Tae-geon, he would rather die than reveal that the child belonged to Tae-geon.
Hyeon-woo bit his lip.
I will never let you know.
“…I don’t know.”
Hyeon-woo pushed Tae-geon away and said. His eyes glaring at Tae-geon were filled with malice.
“I said I don’t know who the father is.”
In response to Hyeon-woo, Tae-geon’s eyes flickered with wild madness. The pheromones of the dominant Alpha began to flow threateningly, escaping Tae-geon’s control. With a murderous glint in his eyes, Tae-geon twisted one corner of his mouth into a sneer.
“Is that so?”
*Snicker*.
Tae-geon, who let out a nasty laugh, suddenly grabbed Hyeon-woo by the collar roughly. With brute force, Hyeon-woo’s feet were lifted halfway off the ground.
“Ugh!”
He felt like he was choking.
Seeing Hyeon-woo’s red lips glistening with blood from biting them, Tae-geon gritted his teeth.
“With a filthy body like yours, how could you possibly know whose seed it is?”
“…Ugh…!”
“You seem to suck well? Why don’t you try sucking mine too?”
The sound of a belt being unbuckled and a zipper being pulled down echoed through the empty house like a scream. Tae-geon carelessly grabbed Hyeon-woo’s hair and forced him to kneel, shoving him against his groin. Tae-geon’s exposed dick rubbed against Hyeon-woo’s face without restraint.
“Ugh…!”
As he was being relentlessly pushed by Tae-geon, Hyeon-woo barely regained his senses and doubted his own eyes. Unbelievably, Tae-geon’s dick was fully erect.
Tae-geon placed his foot on Hyeon-woo’s groin. He was still wearing the loafers that Hyeon-woo had gifted him.
“If you stand up, I’ll crush you right here, so suck it properly.”
With his hand pressing Hyeon-woo’s head down onto his rigid dick, blue veins bulged on Tae-geon’s forearm.
Tae-geon gritted his teeth. Looking down at Hyeon-woo, who was kneeling, memories flooded back vividly. Hyeon-woo, burying his face between the legs of another Alpha and sucking eagerly.
The CCTV in the Apablir building was only installed on the outside and in the corridors. There was no record of the vulgar and lewd acts taking place in the more private areas inside. When Tae-geon discovered Hyeon-woo in the recorded footage, he replayed the same scene dozens of times. It was hard to believe what he was seeing with his own eyes.
When an Alpha entered the corridor and pulled down his pants, Hyeon-woo willingly knelt before him. The CCTV captured the explicit image of Hyeon-woo, without any sign of resistance, hanging onto the Alpha’s leg while performing oral sex.
The act lasted for thirty minutes. When Hyeon-woo stood up after finishing, his face and hair were covered in the Alpha’s ejaculate, a complete mess. Even as the Alpha rubbed his palm against Hyeon-woo’s face, which was slick with fluids, Hyeon-woo obediently presented his face.
Watching that scene, Tae-geon felt his insides twist and his head spin with rage. He had no idea Hyeon-woo was frequenting such places.
As he exited the recording room, a nauseating smell permeated the air. It was the very stench he had sensed from Hyeon-woo.
The mingled scent of dozens of aroused Omegas mixed with the chaotic Alpha pheromones grew stronger as Tae-geon moved further inside, tormenting his sense of smell. Every nerve in his body screamed in agony. His throat ached as he forced back the urge to vomit.
Tae-geon, trembling with rage and betrayal, stopped in his tracks, realizing that searching for any more traces of Hyeon-woo was meaningless. The foul odor and the recorded footage were more than enough to understand what kind of place Hyeon-woo had been visiting.
The Alpha pup that had violated Hyeon-woo was now crushed underfoot. He had tried to track down the scumbag who had lured Hyeon-woo into such a filthy place, but each attempt had failed. The name that the scumbag had sent to Hyeon-woo in a message was merely a pseudonym used in that place.
So consumed with capturing Hyeon-woo, he had neglected to pay proper attention to that side, but now that Hyeon-woo was in his grasp, it was time to hunt down that damn fox.
Even as he watched the food he had prepared for Hyeon-woo being thrown into the trash, he couldn’t even feel anger. He even reflected on his choice to enter Hyeon-woo’s room without permission, trying to understand Hyeon-woo’s position, who had been suffering from a heat cycle.
Yet, behind his back, Hyeon-woo had been rolling around in such a vulgar manner.
Tae-geon had caught a whiff of that foul smell from Hyeon-woo a couple of times before. It meant that he had frequented that place at least twice.
The morning Hyeon-woo had disappeared, he had felt a jolt in his chest upon seeing the bloodstains on the bed. Ever since Hyeon-woo had developed a heat, he had been struggling against the impulse to thrust inside him every time they were intimate, to the point of mental exhaustion.
Knowing how hard he had fought to hold back, he could easily imagine what would have happened if he had embraced Hyeon-woo in a state of lost reason. If he had even knotted with him, the possibility of pregnancy would have existed.
He had tried everything, but he simply couldn’t recall the memories of that night.
It couldn’t have been rape, could it?
If that was the reason Hyeon-woo had left him…
He held his head in anguish over the actions of the previous night that he couldn’t even remember. Until he learned that Hyeon-woo, who had been so eager to push him away, had been behaving so lewdly behind his back.
As Tae-geon had predicted, Hyeon-woo was pregnant. However, he could no longer be sure if it was because of him.
He just wanted to believe. If Hyeon-woo had made the firm decision to carry the child, it was because it was his child. Although his mind, knowing of Hyeon-woo’s promiscuous behavior, suggested the possibility of it being another Alpha’s seed, his heart held steadfastly to that unwavering belief.
It wasn’t because he wanted a child. He simply hoped that Hyeon-woo’s decision was due to him.
“I’m still thin, but I always rub my belly like this.”
The children paused their tteokbokki to imitate Hyeon-woo. They giggled among themselves in front of Tae-geon, rubbing their bellies.
“No, Hyeon-woo doesn’t make that kind of laugh!”
“There are times he laughs like this. I’ve seen it.”
“That’s a lie! I’ve seen him laugh like this!”
“What is that? No! You’re so silly!”
The children, blooming with laughter, imitated Hyeon-woo’s smiling face, their expressions innocent.
“When the teacher laughs like this while rubbing his belly, it feels like there’s a sparkle coming from his belly. Just like a star.”
Tae-geon knew best what it was like for an Omega to carry an unwanted child. There was no way he could smile with that kind of face while carrying the seed of an Alpha he didn’t even know.
“I don’t know who the father is.”
Nonsense. He had never believed it from the start.
There was another Alpha who had impregnated Hyeon-woo.
One of the Alpha pups who frequented the establishments. Perhaps it was an Alpha he had met in a community. As Tae-geon quickly assessed the possibilities, the sender of the message he had yet to identify suddenly came to mind.
…Damn it.
There were too many leads to follow, and it was driving him crazy.
