December

Kim Shin’s eyes, quickly accustomed to the darkness and could see the internal structure. Kim Shin did not pry any further but took a deep breath in the narrow living room. Yeonwoo’s scent was mixed with the smell of detergent filling the house. Even though it was a really faint scent, it made his heart beat faster.

Just the fact that he was standing in Yeonwoo’s space made his blood rush to his stomach. Even though he knew he had to get out quickly before the Yeonwoo came and before his scent could be left behind, he couldn’t overcome his desire and kept walking. He made a key in case something dangerous happened to Yeonwoo, but he never thought he would use it so quickly.

Kim Shin easily subdued the lawyer who caused a disturbance in the store today, but his anxiety did not go away. Actually, this was an excuse. The reason he forced himself in was because he just wanted to enter Yeonwoo’s space. Kim Shin realized that the second door he opened was Yeonwoo’s room he was looking for. The smell of Yeonwoo’s pheromones became stronger.

The smell of skin mixed with the warmth that came from Yeonwoo’s neck last night came to mind. Kim Shin’s penis quickly became hard. He was so excited that he had a cruel desire to just meet the Yeonwoo here and have sex with him. He took a deep breath and managed to calm down his wild, wild desires before moving again.

Kim Shin approached Yeonwoo’s bed, whose shape was barely visible in the darkness, and placed his hand on the blanket. He swept over it, rubbing slowly. He thought of him sleeping defenseless on top of this. How warm would it be if he put his finger between Yeonwoo’s slightly parted lips? He wanted to put his hands under his rolled-up shirt, showing his belly, and feel his bare skin. If Kim Shin inserted his hand inside his pajama pants and grabbed his crotch, he would open his eyes in surprise.

Kim Shin’s lower body became completely erect just by imagining it. Kim Shin put his hand on the soft blanket for a moment and then turned his body. When he returned to the car, only 10 minutes had passed, but Kim Shin’s body was filled with heat. The inside of Kim Shin’s heavily tinted car couldn’t be seen from the outside, but it didn’t really matter who could see it.

In particular, there was a twisted hope that Yeonwoo, who was coming back from his part-time job, would notice him, as seen in the side mirror. Although the bus was later than Kim Shin’s arrival by car, his arrival time was earlier than Kim Shin expected. If Kim Shin had come out a little later, he might have run into Yeonwoo.

This breathtaking stunt wasn’t all bad. As the cold wind filled his alley, Yeonwoo walked with his shoulders hunched and paid no attention to the car stopped on the side of the road. As Kim Shin noticed Yeonwoo approaching, he opened his pants and took out his hard penis. He slowly swept his hand and followed Yeonwoo with his eyes.

Kim Shin vividly remembered the image of his body shaking and ejaculating in his arms yesterday in the warehouse. Every time he touched Yeonwoo’s dick, he took in a breath, and even the moans he swallowed in his throat kept him from making a sound. The smell. That amazing smell. Kim Shin’s eyes were still on Yeonwoo, but his ears, nose, and every touch of my body were lost in the memories of the warehouse last night.

Thump, thump, thump…

Kim Shin’s hand quickly shook his penis. It would be a shame if Yeonwoo disappeared. As if knowing his feelings, Yeonwoo stopped in front of the common entrance of the villa. He took out his phone and continued to fiddle with it as if hesitating, then moved his finger over the screen. He did this for a long time, as if he was writing something and then erasing it, and then moving his hand away. Then he disappeared into the foyer. However, immediately the screen on Kim Shin’s phone turned on with a notification. It was a text message from Yeonwoo.

[Thank you for helping me today. I’ll pay you back. If you need anything, please let me know.]

Kim Shin looked at the text and increased the speed of his hands. Tap, tap, tap, the friction sound became faster, his breathing became heavier, and he reached a climax in an instant. A short moan escaped his frowning face, and his abdomen trembled a few times like a spasm.

“Tsk…Ha.”

Kim Shin took a deep breath and caught his breath, but his eyes still fell on the letters on the screen. He raised his eyes and looked at the third floor of the villa. The room with the lights on. Kim Shin imagined Yeonwoo putting down his bag there, taking off his clothes, and sitting on the bed. He might hold his cell phone in his hand and wait for his answer.

Kim Shin looked out the window and rubbed the still-hard pillar of his penis with his hand. He became a little curious. Did Yeonwoo find his scent inside his house? However, even if he sensed the pheromone scent, it was not strong, so he would think it was an illusion. So how would he react to that illusion? Kim Shin looked at the window on the third floor and muttered with slightly heavy breathing.

“Sunbae, I need you right now.”

It was when I arrived home that day that there had been a disturbance by the lawyer at the restaurant. I thought I went crazy. The moment I entered the room, I felt Shin’s pheromone scent. It was impossible to smell it without going crazy. The moment I smelled it, I dropped my bag in fear and sat down on the bed.

But as I sat on the bed, I felt his pheromone scent again. Hey, what should I do? I searched the internet with trembling hands and found that there were quite a few Omegas who had these hallucinations during heat cycles. But I had my inhibitors. No way, I was so aroused for Kim Shin that even my inhibitions couldn’t do anything about it…

I might be so. It was clearly a hallucination caused by the wish to have a pheromone partner. I was sure Shin couldn’t have sneaked into my house and released his pheromones. But to want him like this to the point where I was hallucinating.

It was difficult for me to accept it because I had never had this kind of greed since I was born. Of course, even if I had the desire, I didn’t dare to achieve it right away. The only thing I could think of was a petty plan to intentionally leave my suppressants and create a situation where I would need help from Shin again. Fortunately, my conscience did not allow me to do so, so I did not commit such an embarrassing act.

I went to work as usual and concentrated on washing the dishes. So, the few days after the Alpha Lawyer incident, everything was peaceful and uneventful. At least that was how it seemed on the outside. But inwardly, it was completely different. After accepting my desire to be by Kim Shin’s side, it was difficult to face him properly. What was strange was that the sous chef also stayed away from Shin. He no longer asked Shin to peel onions, held authoritative commands, and simply did not speak to him.

“When Kim Shin took the lawyer out, the sous chef followed him. He must have seen something then.”

Kijoon made his guess. What did he see? When I asked him, he seemed frustrated.

“It’s obvious. A side of Mr. Kim Shin that you don’t usually see. Something strong.”

If he was very strong, could he possibly be violent? He told me the answer while I was dumbfounded.

“Humiliation.”

I looked at the Kijoon carefully and then made a vague suggestion.

“… Isn’t it violence?”

“No. If that were the case, he wouldn’t be released from the police station right away. Think about it logically. The lawyer was in his rut. You know that everything on the rut is a free pass, right? No matter how dominant the Alpha was, there was no way Kim Shin would be released without any investigation if he used violence against the Alpha. All that’s left is humiliation. He just swore so harshly that the sous chef was shocked. Kim Shin curses a lot.”

It was only then that I realized why I felt comfortable from the first time I saw the Kijoon. He was similar to Deokjin. He seemed sharp, but in the end, he was quite weak. When I did not agree, Kijoon seemed frustrated and called the owner who was passing by.

“Boss, what happened when the lawyer was taken outside?”

The owner paused and looked at us with a business smile.

“Nothing happened.”

“But why has the sous chef been having a hard time with Kim Shin since that day?”

“I don’t know.”

“Boss, don’t do that. What happened?”

But at this time, the boss’ eyes turned to me. Why do you do that? I was puzzled, but he quickly shook his head at Kijoon.

“What you all saw already…Thanks to Shin, who is a dominant Alpha, he easily defeated the lawyer, and that is the end of it.”

“Why is the sous chef still in shock?”

Well, the boss muttered, looked at his kitchen, and then shrugged his shoulders.

“I guess it was only then that he realized that Kim Shin is a dominant Alpha.”

“But…”

“I was also surprised to find out how big the presence of dominant Alpha is this time. He was powerful both physically and socially. It was a great help.”

Kijoon had no choice but to turn around, wondering if that was the case, but he still looked unconvinced. I was about to go to the kitchen, but the boss called me.

“Yeonwoo, thanks.”

“No. I haven’t done anything. We should be thankful to Kim Shin instead.”

“No, I am most grateful to you. I can’t believe you work at our store. I am really lucky.”

I still thought he should say his thanks to Shin, but he was staring at me again, so I couldn’t come up with a retort. Instead, I looked at him as if asking why, and he grinned and tapped my arm.

“I will help you.”

“What?”

“Anything. If you need any help, please let me know.”

“Well, then please raise my hourly wage.”

“…Why is it so hot inside?”

The boss suddenly said something else and walked across the hall where the optimal indoor temperature was maintained. As expected, money was the best topic to end the conversation. The reason the boss kept thanking me was probably because I stood up in front of the lawyer first. But that was it. I couldn’t do more than that.

If Shin hadn’t shown up, I would have been trembling and caught by him without even being able to use the broken wine glass. Thinking about it gave me goosebumps. I quickly shook off the worst-case scenario that never happened. I’m fine now, so just be thankful. What was important to me now was thanking the people who deserved it. When I entered the kitchen, all the kitchen staff were there, but all I could see was the tall figure standing with his back to the entrance. I ignored my heart pounding and went into the kitchen.
