Side Story 26
With just a little loss of reason, Eunsol felt he might insert his own hand inside his opening to probe for the itchy spots. Streams of tears flowed down both of Eunsol’s cheeks due to his uncontrollable thoughts and body.
“It’s okay. I’m here for you,” Hyun-oh said.
Hyun-oh raised his hand and caressed Eunsol’s cheek. But Eunsol trembled even at this non-sexual gesture.
The heat that had started in his abdomen was gradually spreading to his extremities.
Hyun-oh’s pheromones, which had provided mental stability until just moments ago, now stimulated Eunsol’s peripheral nerves as if adding oil to the spreading heat.
“Hngh…”
Eunsol blinked slowly. Tears flowed down his cheeks, and in an instant, his vision became hazily blurred.
Hyun-oh desperately suppressed his pheromones. The omega’s pheromones, which had intensified like ripe fruit, continuously stimulated Hyun-oh’s pheromone gland.
Even now, Eunsol was in a half-conscious state due to the sudden onset of his heat cycle. He needed to be given time to adapt.
In this situation, if Hyun-oh were to be swept along and release intensified pheromones, it could shock Eunsol.
Moreover, they weren’t alone in the house at the moment.
“Just hold on a little longer,” Hyun-oh said.
Hyun-oh embraced Eunsol’s body while caressing his cheek. The slender body limply collapsed in Hyun-oh’s arms.
Hyun-oh’s fingertips trembled slightly as they reached for the phone on the table.
Eunsol’s body was worryingly hot. If the accumulated heat from his estrus wasn’t properly released, the high fever would clearly harm Eunsol’s health.
He quickly turned on the phone screen and found Kim Myungjun’s number to call.
“Yes, Director,” Kim Myungjun answered.
A hint of surprise tinged Kim Myungjun’s voice at the call from his boss, who rarely contacted him after returning home.
“Right now… come to the house and take Raon away,” Hyun-oh said.
“What?”
The voice on the other end of the phone rose at the request to take away the cherished Raon, which was even more surprising than the unexpected call.
“Eunsol’s heat cycle has come. Clear your schedule for at least three days. Take Raon to my mother,” Hyun-oh explained.
As he continued speaking, Hyun-oh repeatedly clenched and unclenched his empty fist. His reason was being shaken by Eunsol’s pheromones, which he felt with every breath.
It wasn’t simply that Eunsol’s pheromones were stronger than usual; his own body’s reaction was also unusual.
“I’ll come right away!” Kim Myungjun exclaimed.
Realizing that the situation was more serious than he thought based on Hyun-oh’s voice and content, Kim Myungjun spoke urgently.
Kim Myungjun was the only person who knew the password to Eunsol and Hyun-oh’s house, in case of an emergency.
He would be able to enter the house and safely take Raon out. Though concerned about Raon being separated from his parents for a while, Eunsol’s condition was more important now.
“Hyun-oh… my body…” Eunsol said.
Eunsol’s breathing became rough. His body, writhing inside the blanket, was desperate.
Eunsol struggled with his limbs, wanting to somehow free himself from the blanket constricting his body.
“We’re going to the bedroom,” Hyun-oh said.
Hyun-oh, who had effortlessly lifted Eunsol, quickly moved toward the bedroom. Heat had already gathered in his lower abdomen, causing a throbbing sensation.
Eunsol’s heated breathing sounds stimulated even Hyun-oh’s hearing, inflaming his senses. The pheromones flowing from Eunsol clung to Hyun-oh’s skin, urging him to release his own pheromones.
However, Hyun-oh maintained his reason until they entered the bedroom. If he fully released his pheromones, strong traces would remain in the air.
For Raon, still a young baby, highly concentrated pheromones could be as lethal as a cold virus.
“Hiik…”
Eunsol rubbed his face against Hyun-oh’s chest and let out a sorrowful cry, tormented by unquenched discomfort.
Memories of past heat cycles also sprouted in his mind. Back then, too, Eunsol had struggled with a suddenly occurring heat cycle.
After receiving an unwanted pheromone shower from Hyun-oh’s brother, all he could do was shed tears, consumed by the boiling heat in his body.
Fortunately, Hyun-oh had embraced him, but at that time, unlike now, his attitude was like cold ice.
Since it was Eunsol’s first time having sex, Hyun-oh had treated him quite tenderly at first, seeing him at a loss.
“Are you really okay?” Hyun-oh had asked then.
Even then, Eunsol had pleaded with Hyun-oh through his uncontrolled pheromones.
Begging him not to stop because he could handle it.
With a desperate feeling, he had even lowered his head to Hyun-oh’s lower body, trying to sexually arouse him somehow.
Hyun-oh had told such an Eunsol that he didn’t need to do that, and had fondled his hole for a long time until his body softened.
When Hyun-oh’s cock finally penetrated his body, Eunsol couldn’t breathe.
He had gently rested his cheek on Hyun-oh’s palm, liking the touch that caressed his face, which had forgotten even how to breathe from the pain he was experiencing for the first time.
Until then, Eunsol had thought that Hyun-oh had opened his heart to him to some extent. After all, Hyun-oh’s eyes, as they looked at him, had been full of quite heated passion.
But when Eunsol closed his eyes and opened them again, what he faced were eyes as cold as ice.
In an instant, Eunsol’s field of vision had changed. All he could see were crumpled sheet edges.
When he had been facing him, it was okay despite the tremendous pain below. He could endure it, thinking that the one embracing him was Hyun-oh.
But when his shaking vision only captured the messy sheet edges and bed frame, fear surged.
He wanted to turn his head to see him, but with the large hand pressing down on the back of his neck, Eunsol helplessly buried his face in the sheets and just shook.
“Hyun-oh…” Eunsol had called.
In the end, though Hyun-oh had apologized to the sorrowfully crying Eunsol, the despair and sadness he had felt at that time seemed to still be coiled deep in Eunsol’s heart.
“Hic, ugh…” Eunsol sobbed.
Eunsol’s crying sound changed. Finally entering the bedroom, Hyun-oh urgently pulled down the blanket.
Eunsol was trembling with his eyes closed, his face filled with fear.
“Eunsol,” Hyun-oh called.
The moment Hyun-oh uttered Eunsol’s name, the trembling intensified.
“Let me go…” Eunsol pleaded.
Eunsol pushed Hyun-oh away with both hands. At Eunsol’s sudden rejection, Hyun-oh’s eyes darkened.
The area where his heart was located tingled.
Hyun-oh sat on the bed, tightly embracing Eunsol, who was struggling dangerously. After firmly holding Eunsol so he couldn’t escape, he gently rested his forehead against Eunsol’s, which was soaked with cold sweat.
“Open your eyes and look at me,” Hyun-oh said.
“Hiik…” Eunsol whimpered.
Despite Hyun-oh’s words, Eunsol kept his eyes closed and just shook his head. The memory of the oppressive hands and the subsequent experience of being knotted had surfaced.
The sensation of experiencing knotting in reality, which he had only seen in videos, was indescribable.
Even in videos, the expressions of omegas being knotted looked painful. So Eunsol had also prepared himself, knowing that when he eventually received knotting from an alpha, it would be quite painful.
Hyun-oh had given Eunsol a choice. Though knotting would end the heat cycle faster, he wouldn’t do it if Eunsol didn’t want it.
It was Eunsol who didn’t back down then. He had asked Hyun-oh to knot him. He wanted to gain a piece of Hyun-oh’s heart, even through that.
After all, an alpha’s knotting typically signified possessiveness toward an omega.
But despite his preparation, when receiving the knotting, Eunsol had bitten his lips until they were bloody.
That was probably due to Hyun-oh’s cold gaze, deeply imprinted in his mind. While his body was in pain as if being shattered, his heart breaking was even more painful.
As the old pain from the past surfaced, his mind, already softened by the heat cycle, wailed in agony.
His body desperately desired Hyun-oh’s pheromones and union with him, but his heart wanted to flee from him.
Due to the contrasting reactions of his body and mind, he momentarily became confused about where he was.
As Eunsol’s struggle intensified, Hyun-oh pressed his lips to various parts of Eunsol’s forehead and cheeks, stroking his back with a calm touch.
“Eunsol…” Hyun-oh called.
The end of his low voice trembled finely. Though he couldn’t see into Eunsol’s mind, he could tell from Eunsol pushing him away that bad memories had surfaced.
After all, his past self had only behaved poorly toward Eunsol, to the extent that he wanted to go back in time and grab himself by the collar.
“I’m sorry,” Hyun-oh said.
There was nothing else he could say except apologize. At his weighty sincerity, the fluttering eyelashes slowly lifted.
Unfocused eyes captured the face before him. Unlike in Eunsol’s memory, the alpha currently in front of him was looking at Eunsol with the most tender gaze.
“Hyun-oh…” Eunsol said.
“Yes. I’m here,” Hyun-oh replied.
Hyun-oh carefully left a light kiss on Eunsol’s lips. At the ticklish contact, like a butterfly landing on a flower petal, Eunsol’s eyes blinked slowly.
