Side Story 15
“…Eunsol.”
Noticing that Eunsol was lost in thought, Hyun-oh called his name.
While his pheromones were as refreshing as a pine tree that had absorbed plenty of moisture, his voice was hot and rough like sand under the scorching sun.
That heat spread through their gazes meeting in the mirror. Eunsol froze, unable to look away from Hyun-oh’s intense stare.
It felt like docilely putting his head into the wide-open jaws of a predator.
Though he knew Hyun-oh would never hurt him, his body and mind were being driven to their limits in a different sense.
The moist breath traced Eunsol’s ear before moving downward. Only after licking the skin suffused with sweet pheromones did Hyun-oh lift Eunsol into his arms.
“Ahh…”
As the cock that had filled his insides withdrew, viscous fluid flowed from his thoroughly stretched hole.
Feeling as if his vital organs might follow the fluid out, Eunsol rubbed his cheek against Hyun-oh’s chest.
Though he felt a sense of loss as the cock that had been one with him withdrew, he also thought that if he climaxed one more time, he might truly lose consciousness.
“Let’s wash up now.”
For Hyun-oh too, this was the first proper sex after a long time, but his conscience pricked him at the thought of pushing Eunsol any further.
Though the wounds from surgery had healed, the faint scars still showed a reddish tint compared to other areas.
Hyun-oh’s eyes darkened as he looked at the scars. There should never be another moment when a knife touched Eunsol’s body.
“You don’t want to do more…?”
As Hyun-oh’s expression hardened, Eunsol looked up at him and whispered in a small voice.
Although Eunsol was so exhausted that he had felt climax without being able to release anything, Hyun-oh’s cock remained rigid, pressing against Eunsol’s lower back.
“I don’t want to be the only one satisfied.”
Hyun-oh pulled up one corner of his mouth in a smile and kissed Eunsol’s forehead.
If it had merely been an act to satisfy sexual desire, Eunsol certainly wouldn’t be able to keep his eyes open now.
Every time Hyun-oh joined bodies with Eunsol, he had to constantly strive not to lose his last thread of reason.
“I want to have sex with you.”
Eunsol’s cheeks flushed red. Hyun-oh’s willingness to restrain himself for Eunsol’s sake despite his desire felt sweet.
The lips descended without fail onto his cheeks, which had become softer with their redness.
Hyun-oh carried Eunsol into the bathtub. After turning on moderately warm water, he brought over bath additives from the side.
“You choose.”
They were all for Eunsol. Eunsol fidgeted as he raised himself to examine the bath additives.
“I like this one.”
What Eunsol chose was a bath additive modeled after Hyun-oh’s pheromone scent. In fact, the bathroom contained many products of that kind.
All were specially ordered by Eunsol, made with Hyun-oh’s consent.
Though they might seem like similar scents, alphas’ and omegas’ pheromones were like individual fingerprints.
Therefore, creating products based on someone’s pheromone scent necessarily required the other person’s consent.
‘…Won’t you allow it?’
Eunsol’s voice from some time ago echoed in his ears. With those large eyes filled with earnestness, Hyun-oh had immediately nodded.
Meanwhile, he himself had created a perfume modeled after Eunsol’s pheromone scent and always carried it with him.
“Don’t you ever get tired of it?”
There were various types of bath additives, but Eunsol always chose just one. Hyun-oh, perhaps because it was his own pheromone scent, couldn’t feel anything particularly special about it.
It was merely familiar to him, yet he found it curious that Eunsol enjoyed the same scented bath additive every time.
But then again, thinking from the opposite perspective, he himself never tired of the lily-of-the-valley scented pheromones and only wanted to smell them more, so he could understand Eunsol’s feelings.
“…I’ll never tire of it in my lifetime.”
Eunsol held up one bath additive with both hands and looked up at Hyun-oh. Though his voice was small, the determination in his eyes as he looked up at Hyun-oh was solid.
Delicate yet firm.
Hyun-oh seated Eunsol on his thighs, facing him, and slowly bent his head.
A shadow fell over Eunsol’s face. The long eyelashes descending like butterflies added another layer of shadow.
The kiss where their tongues leisurely explored each other’s mouths was as fragrant as the gradually rising scent of each other’s pheromones.

“A wedding?”
“Yes. …I’m sorry it’s so late.”
Hyun-oh interlaced his fingers with Eunsol’s and kissed his slender fingertips.
At the ticklish sensation, Eunsol reflexively curled his fingertips but still held tightly to the clasped hands.
The words Hyun-oh had just spoken lingered in his mind.
A wedding.
It would be a lie to say he had never thought about it, but he had never dared to desire it.
After reuniting with Hyun-oh, with his belly growing day by day, a wedding hadn’t even crossed his mind.
Even after Raon was born, each day had been so hectic that it remained buried in the far reaches of his memory.
“Now that your body is better, I was thinking about preparing for the wedding. What do you think?”
When Eunsol remained silent, lost in thought, Hyun-oh gently shook their interlaced hands.
Those dark, clear eyes met his gaze directly. Whenever this happened, Hyun-oh felt a tingling sensation in his fingertips.
His body moved naturally. He lifted Eunsol, whom he was holding in his arms, onto his waist.
As his curved eyelashes lowered halfway, a desolate air overlaid his delicate face.
In the world, the only people who could look down at him like this without making him feel unpleasant would be Eunsol and Raon, who was likely in deep sleep in the nursery.
Pleased by this sudden realization, Hyun-oh reached out and brushed the fine hair back from Eunsol’s round forehead.
“Should I give you time to think about it?”
Currently, the two were lying in bed, having a conversation.
After joining bodies for the first time in a long while, they had also made love in the bathtub filled with the fragrance of green pine.
In the end, Eunsol had fallen asleep in a half-conscious state while accepting Hyun-oh’s washing hands.
When Eunsol opened his eyes after a deep, sweet sleep, it was because of the cozy pheromones enveloping his entire body.
Objectively speaking, Hyun-oh’s pheromones weren’t the type to give a cozy sensation.
Even Eunsol, at first, though liking his pheromones, had felt intimidated whenever facing him due to the oppressive feeling of being crushed.
But at some point, Eunsol began to feel as if he were wrapped in a warm blanket when he sensed Hyun-oh’s pheromones.
This was entirely because Hyun-oh’s feelings toward Eunsol had changed. Other people of different characteristics still tended to freeze when encountering Hyun-oh’s pheromones.
“But I hope you’ll think positively about it.”
Hyun-oh’s gaze wandered over Eunsol’s tightly closed lips. Only his blinking eyelashes showed any movement.
Currently, Eunsol’s expression was so submerged that it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
This was unfamiliar to Hyun-oh. Usually, when Eunsol looked at Hyun-oh, his thoughts were transparently visible on his face.
“…I want everyone to know that you’re my person.”
Previously, though he had attended couples’ gatherings with Eunsol, he hadn’t particularly wanted to show this to the whole world.
He had thought it sufficient that they had registered their marriage and were living together.
For Hyun-oh, a wedding had been merely a waste of time filled with unnecessary formalities.
The fact that the situation hadn’t been conducive to holding a wedding when he had proposed the contract marriage to Eunsol had also played a role.
It would have been perfect fodder for gossip to hold a wedding when his father’s corpse had not yet decomposed.
But things were different now. Hyun-oh had firmly consolidated his position within the group, and the only person he needed to care about now was Eunsol.
Since they couldn’t turn back time, he wanted to give Eunsol everything he hadn’t been able to give him until now.
“So then…”
“Yes.”
Eunsol finally opened his mouth after a while. Hyun-oh was prepared to listen to whatever came from his lips.
He had steeled himself to the point that if Eunsol asked him to give up his position as Chairman, he would agree.
“…Our contract.”
In the brief time, Hyun-oh had thought of countless possibilities of what might come from those rosy lips. But what Eunsol brought up was something Hyun-oh had forgotten about all this time.
Come to think of it, the beginning of their relationship had been different from normal couples. For Hyun-oh, that contract had long since become a mere scrap of paper without any meaning.
None of the contents written in it had any effect anymore.
But it seemed Eunsol was still thinking about the contents of that contract. This fact made Hyun-oh feel sorry.
“I’ll call a lawyer as soon as it’s daylight.”
He should also rewrite the property contract while at it. There was a building he had given to Eunsol, but that wasn’t enough.
Though unlikely, in case something happened to him, it wouldn’t be bad to take measures in advance to ensure all his property would go to Eunsol.
