《Alpha, Alpha, Beta? I Transmigrated into an Omegaverse as a boy?!》


 Chapter 1: Why am I a beta?

    Chapter 1: Why am I a beta?Baek-Hyun kissed Hae-won hard and slid his hand in his shirt, reaching for his nipples and pinching on them lightly.


    The impact of his hands on Hae-won''s skin made him shudder. His nipples were extremely sensitive and so this action easily made him aroused.


    Just a few minutes ago, they were just at the table eating and laughing but now they were kissing and making out. And where was Woo-Bin?


    He went out to make a call and then this happened.


    They had already finished eating and were clearing the plates when Woo-Bin got a call from someone and walked out to take it.


    Just as Woo-Bin left, Baek-Hyun turned to Hae-won and spotted a few grains of rice stuck at the corners of his mouth.


    "Hyung, you... " Baek-Hyun wanted to point it out for him to take it off but then he focused on his lips.


    This was an opportunity to kiss him for a reason.


    "What''s wro... ?" Hae-won swallowed his words as Baek-Hyun licked the rice from the corner of his mouth and then crashed his lips on his.


    The kiss was a bit rough but at the same time, tender. Yet, he couldn''t catch his breath because of how fast Baek-Hyun moved his tongue.


    "Wait, slo... slow down." Hae-won called out and Baek-Hyun released the kiss, causing Hae-won to finally catch his breath.


    He didn''t expect Baek-Hyun to suddenly kiss him but this was also fine. He was also wondering if one of them would suddenly initiate a kiss or he''d have to be seductive.


    But for crying out loud, who was the desperate one amongst them? He couldn''t tell.


    "Am I rushing you, Hyung?" Baek-Hyun asked, breathing heavily as he too hadn''t caught his breath.


    "It''s just..." he bit down on his lip and shook his head. "No." He said. "I''m just overwhelmed."


    Baek-Hyun stared at his innocent expression and felt maybe he was indeed rushing him.


    "Do you want to stop?" He asked as he kissed the corner of his eyes and Hae-won shook his head.


    "No, don''t stop."


    This was the go ahead Baek-Hyun needed and again, he ravished Hae-won''s lips only for them to be discovered by Woo-Bin who was already done with his call.


    "I knew you were on to something." Woo-Bin said over a grin. "While I went out to make a call, you took it as an opportunity to jump Sun-bae, huh?"


    Baek-Hyun almost tsked.


    "What''s with that look? You''re blaming me for spoiling your fun, aren''t you?" He chuckled. "But I''m not so fickle that I''d ruin the mood." He added and got close.


    Hae-won flushed, feeling a bit embarrassed. How did things end up like that?


    ****************


    Hae-won''s POV


    I woke up in a hospital bed and discovered someone had cut my hair. My beautiful long brown hair! But when I looked in the mirror, I wasn''t exactly ''me''


    Before I could check out anything else, a doctor walked in with his notefile and was accompanied by a nurse.


    "You seem to be doing well for someone who got hit by a truck!" He said, checking the second page of his file. "I didn''t know betas recovered so fast till I met you!" He said and the nurse laughed. He laughed as well.


    Wait! Was that supposed to be a joke? What beta? Were we playing werewolf?


    "What''s so funny?" I unintentionally asked. ''Did he just say I was a beta? Is he really joking with me right now?''


    The doctor, having been humiliated by little ol'' me, cleared his throat and announced.


    "You''re free to leave the hospital by tomorrow." With that, he left.


    My head was spinning. What was going on?


    I got down from the bed and went to the bathroom only to discover one hell of a shock. I screamed!


    In between my legs were... And my boobs! Where were my beautiful round boobs? S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    So, my long hair wasn''t the only thing that was taken away from me! My femininity was gone! Who did this?


    I knew for a fact that I got hit by a truck on my way back from work. Did I perhaps switch souls with someone by accident? Even if I did, why did it have to be a boy?


    That must''ve been my punishment since I was literally a weirdo who was obsessed with BL. I even stalked gays entering restrooms just to catch a live action of what they do in the stalls.


    With that, I was able to get inspiration for my books since apparently, I was also a BL writer!


    ''Where''s my phone?'' I searched for my phone and luckily found it.


    I discovered something strange. Although I was in someone else''s body, I still looked like myself and most of the pictures I had taken while in my original body were in my phone but as me as a boy.


    I felt confused. Had I somehow entered a parallel world with the same personality and the same life but different gender?


    I did a little digging and found out that I had entered an Omegaverse. It would''ve been a dream come true if I were an Omega or an Alpha but I was a fucking beta. Beta''s had it tough since they had to work their butts off in order to make ends meet.


    "For the love of BL, I just wanted to stalk in peace!" I exclaimed, crashing my head into my pillow.


    Wait, wasn''t this my chance? Now I didn''t have to sneak into the boys restroom in order to spy on the stalls. I could go in naturally and secretly peep!


    A creepy smile played on my face but I quickly shook the thought off.


    The important thing wasn''t how to stalk gay guys jerking off in stalls, it was actually how to live as a boy and make ends meet.


    "For fuck''s sake, why''d I have to be a beta?"

 Chapter 2: Alpha pheromones!

    Chapter 2: Alpha pheromones!My name is Hee-won! At least, when I was still a girl it was. But currently, I go by the name Hae-Won! It also sounds like a feminine name but it''s actually unisex.


    After sorting out my current condition, I decided to take action. Just like me, Hae-Won had no parents and no siblings. He lived off working numerous part time jobs and tired himself out every day.


    It made me feel that we weren''t given justice no matter what world we lived in. But there was one thing Hae-Won didn''t do that I did, which was writing stories.


    Somehow, I discovered that all my past books which were in my original phone, ended up in Hye-Won''s phone. It was a miracle!


    At least I could live off of that for the time being!


    That''s what I thought until I got kicked out of my tiny room apartment.


    "Why is my life so hard?" I groaned as I rolled my luggage to a hotel. I had little to no savings and I couldn''t help but wonder what Hae-Won spent all his money on.


    If it were me, I knew what I''d spend them on so could it be he was spending money on BL manhwa and merchandise? No! I shook my head.


    I was lucky to get a cheap room and proceeded to have a hearty meal before facing my demise.


    I entered the restaurant and ordered a big bowl of the chef''s finest noodles.


    I had no idea that going into that noodle shop would change my life for good! It was that day that I meant my destined pairs! Yeah, you heard me! I said pairs!


    I was still waiting for my noodles when two boys walked in. My jaw dropped as soon as I saw them. One was wearing a nose mask and a hat while the other looked super sexy with a chiseled chin and jet black hair. They were the perfect match and I could tell they were very handsome even if I wasn''t able to get a proper view.


    I couldn''t help but drool as I fantasized how they would look together in bed.


    "Sir, your noodles!" The waiter dropped my bowl and I regained my senses. When I looked at the entrance, they were gone.


    I scanned the shop, they weren''t there. I turned to the waiter.


    "Um, do you know where those two went?" I asked, beaming a polite smile. He blushed and pointed at the direction of the restroom.


    "I think they went to the restroom!" He said and I flashed him a cute irresistible smile.


    "Thank you!"


    I always knew that as a boy, I''d be one heck of a charmer and I was right! My looks could be compared to a girl. Beat that omegas!


    I slurped on my noodles heartily while keeping my eyes on the restroom door. They weren''t coming out. This sparked my BL reader and I couldn''t help but imagine things.


    ''It''s totally legal for boys to date boys!'' I thought as I placed my chopsticks down. ''But is it legal to rub it all over our faces that you''ve got a steamy stuff going on?'' I thought about it and dropped the bill. ''I think I''ll just take a quick peak and leave. No big deal!''


    Those were my thoughts till I got to the restrooms. I was probably getting retribution for my weird stalking habits because as soon as I entered the restroom, the air in my lungs seized and I started gagging.


    I couldn''t breathe. There was a strange scent in the air and it was making me weak and unable to breath! Was that what people called pheromones? I knew a thing or two about it but I don''t think it would be that powerful. What were they doing to be releasing so many pheromones?


    There were three classes of people. Or you could say three genders. Alpha, omega and beta.


    Alpha''s were the big shots, no doubt. They were the ones who owned huge companies, had extraordinary looks and we''re on top of the world. Omegas, they were like mates for the Alphas. An omega''s sole purpose in life is to give birth to a child for an Alpha. No other specks, other than they were extremely delicate and feminine in structure, be it a guy or a lady.


    Anyone could mistake me as an Omega seeing how delicate and pretty I looked but that wasn''t something worth bragging.


    Then there were the betas. The ones who had to work under the cruel capitalism of the world. They were free to marry any gender but that was very rare as they were always looked down on.


    Alphas and omegas have something called pheromones! They''re usually used to identify the classes between recessive and dominants but that wasn''t all.


    When an Alpha releases his pheromones, he is capable of suffocating an Omega or drinking him into heat, depending on the amount released. When Omegas enter their heat period, they need an Alpha to help them through the heat period or they take inhibitors. This however, is not as effective as getting help from an Alpha so...

    Right at that moment when I thought I''d pass out because of the excessive amount of pheromones, I thought to myself.


    ''Betas don''t usually smell pheromones so why am I like this? Why am I being affected?'' I was still thinking of this when I heard someone talking.


    "That''s enough! Someone''s outside!"


    "How can anyone withstand this level of pheromones?"


    "Betas can! Ngh! Just stop it. Haa! Ah! Stop!"


    I couldn''t believe it. I was completely out of breath because of them yet they were having the time of their lives. Serves me right for being such a creepy stalker!


    I managed to compose myself and covered my mouth with a handkerchief but just as I was about to leave, the stall door swung open and they caught me.


    Well technically, I caught them but still... I looked like I was the peeping Tom.


    Our eyes met and for a moment, I felt like I knew him. It was at the back of my head but I couldn''t figure it out.


    This jet-black haired guy looked so handsome up close. His face looked to be that of a god and I was secretly adoring his looks when he looked down at me with a mean grin.


    Fine, he was taller than me, no need to feel proud! He was an Alpha, no doubt!


    "Can I help... ?"


    "I wasn''t peeping, I swear!" I blurted, out of nowhere, cutting him short of whatever he had to say.


    He looked at me, stunned. I looked at him also stunned. Now I really looked guilty of being a peeping Tom.


    His expression changed to somewhat disgusted and I wanted to cry. Was he judging me? His eyes suddenly became scary and I just ran out of there.


    Why do handsome guys have to be so cruel?

 Chapter 3: Our new roommate is here!

    Chapter 3: Our new roommate is here!I spent the night at the hotel. Thankfully, I was able to sleep peacefully even after what happened that night.


    It felt strange that I was easily affected by his pheromones. Did I need to get myself checked up properly?


    No! That was the least of my worries. I needed to find a place ASAP and not just any place, a place that would give me an advance till I had worked enough money to pay.


    I searched for the whole day and of course, there was no such place. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    I was just about to conclude the day''s search and head back to the hotel when I found a flier on a pole. It looked like it had just been posted because of the glue that was yet to dry.


    Anyway, it said, ''one room for rent. Payment can be made in cash or kind! Anyone is fine, except for omegas!''


    I blinked! This was my chance and luckily, I wasn''t an Omega.


    I quickly dialed the number. There was no way I was letting someone else snag such a golden opportunity.


    "Who is this?" The voice from the other line asked.


    "Um, I saw your flier! I''d like to rent the room!" I said, nervously.


    "That was quick!" I heard him say. "Well, I''ll send you the address. You can come over tomorrow and we''ll discuss it there!"


    "Alright! Thank you so much!" I said and waited till he hung up. As soon as he did, I danced in victory. Who knew finding a house was such a piece of cake. Or so I thought!


    The next day, I went excitedly to the address of the place. Only from the outside, it was a nice apartment and it didn''t look like whoever lived there was in need of money or anyone.


    ''Maybe that''s why they said payment could be paid in cash or kind''


    As I waited for the door, waiting for a response from inside, I heard footsteps.


    ''Okay, I have to be calm!'' I told myself and put up a cheerful smile. But as soon as the door opened, my smile fell and I panicked.


    How was that possible? Standing in front of me was the same guy that caught me in the restroom the other day. The world must be ending!


    "You ... "


    ''Oh no, did he recognize me? No, maybe he just wants to say something else!'' I thought positively but that wasn''t the case.


    "You''re the boy from yesterday at the stalls!" He said and my insides screamed.


    Yup, he recognized me. In an instant, I bowed my head.


    "Good morning!" I greeted, refusing to raise my head. He looked so scary with that frown on his face. "I''m here because of the room vacancy!"


    This Alpha, he was sizing me up carefully and I didn''t dare to look up. I couldn''t tell what he was thinking and wished my landlord would be someone else.


    "You... you''re not an Omega, right?" He asked to my surprise.


    "Ah, no! I''m a beta!" I said, with my head still down.


    "You can raise your head now. I''m not your father. You shouldn''t bow so shamefully!" He exclaimed and turned.


    What? Was it my fault that he was so freaking scary? Will I survive this?


    "Come in!" He said and I walked in with light feet.


    Gosh, the entire place smelt like pheromones. Once again, it felt weird. Why was I able to smell pheromones?


    "Sit down. We need to ask you some questions before giving you the room!" He said, pointing at the living room sofa.


    ''We?'' I thought.


    But I quietly sat down and waited. I watched as he walked over to a bedroom door and knocked.


    "Woo-Bin, it''s time to get up!" He called out.


    Woo-Bin, why did that name sound familiar?


    "I want to sleep more!" The person in the room responded.


    "Our new roommate is here!" He said and in an instant, the door swung open.


    "Really? Where?" He came out looking more excited than I was when I saw the poster and then our eyes met.


    This was Woo-Bin, right? As in, Woo-Bin, the celebrity? The supermodel and musician who won five awards during the national mega entertainment awards, after his solo debut? That Woo-Bin? No way!


    Our eyes met and he stared, shocked. Wait, did he also know I was the one at the restroom? I lowered my head. This was so embarrassing.


    But that wasn''t the case as I heard him call out...


    "Sun-bae?"


    What did he call me? I looked up and in an instant, I got hugged by a supermodel whom I was having trouble recognizing.


    "Sun-bae, it''s really you!" Woo-Bin said.


    "Huh? Do... Do I know you?" I stuttered and looked over at the other guy. He seemed to be angry all of a sudden. Did I, no, did ''Hae-Won'' have something to do with them? With Woo-Bin?

 Chapter 4: My name is Sun Baek-Hyun!

    Chapter 4: My name is Sun Baek-Hyun!I stared at Woo-Bin, still confused. What was going on?


    "Please, let go for a sec!" I said and he released me from his tight hug. "You''re Woo-Bin, right?" I asked and his face lit up.


    "Do you remember me now?" He asked but I shook my head.


    "No, but I know you''re a supermodel?" I said and his smile fell.


    "It''s not fair, Sun-bae! Why don''t you remember me? We''ve been through so much together!" He said with a sulking face and I couldn''t help but wonder what ''Hae-Won'' did with him. Was it something steamy?


    I was getting delusional again.


    "May I ask, from where do I know you?" I asked, trying not to be rude. "My memory seems to be failing me these days!"


    "We went to the same university together and studied in the same major, Sun-bae. You were my senior of over one year." He said and all of a sudden, I started recalling the memory.


    Woo-Bin and Hae-Won were really good friends. He was an Alpha yet he got along pretty well with a beta. After he started his model training, he hardly had time for class and hardly contacted as well.


    It got worse when he finally became famous. Hae-Won felt sad having lost his friend but it wasn''t like he was expecting anything more anyway. Afterall, Woo-Bin was an Alpha.


    I looked up with sad eyes as the emotions flooded my very heart. The feelings Hae-Won had after losing his friend were painful.


    "Sun-bae, don''t look at me like that!" He said with a sorry expression. "Did you forget me because I stopped contacting you? I''m at fault for that!" He said. "I''m sorry! The company I worked with wanted me to have little or no contact with anything that had to do with my past. But that doesn''t change the fact that I suddenly ghosted you when it wasn''t your fault. I''m sorry!"


    After hearing his apology, I couldn''t help but feel glad. My heart pounded with joy and understanding and I wiped the tears forming in my eyes.


    "It''s alright!" I said and smiled brightly. "It''s all in the past!" S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Sun-bae... "


    "Ahem!" The scary looking Alpha, who had been listening to our reconciliation suddenly reminded us that he was also in the room.


    "Oh!" I exclaimed.


    "Woo-Bin, come sit over here!" He said and he did just that. "Okay! I''ll ask you a few questions."


    "Alright!" I nodded.


    "Do you have any criminal records?" He asked which surprised me but I guessed it was for safety reasons so I answered.


    "No! I''m a law-abiding citizen!" I said.


    "Will you pay for the rent in cash or kind?" He asked and I darted my eyes, embarrassingly.


    "Kind!" I scratched my face lightly with my index finger. "I''m short of money at the moment!"


    "Then, do you know how to cook?"


    "Yes, do you want me to cook for you as payment?" He nodded with a simple smile and I felt my heart jog ten miles. He was so handsome!


    "How old are you?"


    "I am thirty-one!" I answered and he stared at me, shocked.


    "Can I see your ID?"


    ''What is this, a police station?'' I thought as I rummaged for my ID card.


    "He''s not lying, Sun-bae''s two years older than me!" Woo-Bin defended but this guy was still in doubt till he checked out my ID card.


    "He''s so small for a thirty-one year old male beta! Are you sure you''re not an Omega?" He asked, scornfully and my eye twitched.


    "I''m a beta, as you can see. My outward growth has nothing to do with this!" I said over clenched teeth.


    His eyes fell on my name and his eyebrows furrowed.


    "What''s wrong?" Woo-Bin asked him but he shook his head.


    "It''s nothing!" He gave me back my ID but was still sizing me up. "Your name is Hae-Won? Park Hae-Won?" He asked, as if he didn''t already see it on my ID.


    "Yes! My name is Hae-Won!" I smiled but was really pissed inside. Why was he doubting everything about me?


    He kept asking questions and then he concluded by asking,


    "And finally, what is the probability of you turning into an Omega from frequently inhaling pheromones?" He asked and I tilted my head. What was that supposed to mean?


    "Sun-bae, have you ever smelt pheromones?" Woo-Bin asked and as I watched their serious expressions, an inkling feeling hit me.


    Something told me not to speak truthfully or I''ll get kicked out right away.


    "No!" I lied. "I''m a beta! Why will I be able to smell pheromones?"


    This gave them the conclusion they wanted but something told me this guy sitting in front of me wasn''t yet convinced. Seriously, why was he doubting Thomas?


    "Alright!" He said and got up.


    "Wait!" Woo-Bin said. "Aren''t you going to introduce yourself? You can''t be mean to Sun-bae, okay? Go ahead and tell him your name?"


    He turned to me and gave a twisted expression, like a bad memory hit him in the head. Was I so unpleasant to look at?


    "My name is Sun Baek-Hyun!" He said and that hit me.


    ''Baek Hyun! Why does that name sound so familiar?'' I kept thinking to myself. I looked up and our eyes met. It was as if he was searching my very soul for answers I knew nothing about. ''Do I also know him from somewhere?'' I thought.


    "Forget it!" He said and that made me worry. Really, did I know him from somewhere?


    I wasn''t recalling anything of the past that had to do with him. Was it because I needed more details like Woo-Bin''s case?


    No! Maybe I was overthinking it. If he knew me, he would''ve said so, right?

 Chapter 5: I’m just dehydrated, that’s all!

    Chapter 5: I''m just dehydrated, that''s all!I moved into their apartment that very day. The room I was given was cozy and spacious. It made me wonder how spacious the other two rooms were.


    "There are rules, Sun-bae!" Woo-Bin flung himself at my side. He was always doing this and each time, I felt Baek-Hyun glaring at me from the side.


    I didn''t know why he was always so angry but I had a feeling. He was probably in a one-sided love with Woo-Bin. Thinking about this, my face heated up.


    No way! Was he treating me as a love rival? No way! I would die while rooting for you two.


    Seriously, looking at the both of them together, what BL fan wouldn''t root for them? They were the perfect pair.


    I glanced at the sheet of paper in Woo-Bin''s hand and read out the rules. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "No entering into another room without knocking and even at that, you must wait for a response before opening the door."


    That''s a given! I mean, who doesn''t like privacy? Especially since I''m in a house with two hot hunks, hehe!


    "No sneaking around at night and whatever noise you hear, ignore it!" My face flushed red. This was an obvious rule.


    Was it that Baek-Hyun wasn''t having an unrequited love but was already in a relationship with Woo-Bin?


    But Woo-Bin was still acting like this, all chummy with me. He''s not concerned whether Baek-Hyun would get jealous or not!


    So, is it all in my head? I read the next rule.


    "While picking up the laundry, you must not ask questions about whatever you pick up and must act like you know nothing, no matter what you see." This rule...


    I couldn''t hide my enthusiastic heart anymore and almost died from a heart attack.


    "Sun-bae, are you alright?" Woo-Bin asked, seeing me breathless.


    "I... I''m alright." I said and looked at the paper. These two were definitely a couple. It was either that or they had a habit of bringing in strangers for hook up night!


    I shook my head. There was no way it was the latter! I would kill to find out it was the former.


    "Sun-bae, you''re red all over. Are you sick?" Woo-Bin asked once more and I shook my head.


    "I''m just dehydrated, that''s all. I''ll go drink water right away!" I said and left there before he could notice anything abnormal about me.


    I gulped down the glass of water enthusiastically and smacked my lips once I was done. Water suddenly tastes sweet for some reason.


    I closed the fridge and turned around, only to see Baek-Hyun standing right behind me. It gave me such a fright but I stayed still.


    "You scared me!" I said, avoiding eye contact.


    "Why are you so close to Woo-Bin?" He interrogated.


    "What?" It took a while for my brain to process his question. "Oh, um, because we''re friends?"


    "You''re clinging to him. I don''t know if you have some funny ideas but you should stop clinging to him!" He warned and I felt irked.


    Did he have his eyes in his butt? It''s clear that he''s the one clinging to me and not the other way round. But this confirms my suspicions.


    "Why are you having such a creepy smile?" He asked and I realized I was grinning like a creep. "Do you really have something on your mind against Woo-Bin? I won''t let you go if you do!"


    "Relax!" I slipped out of his view and started walking away. "I assure you, I''ve got nothing on my mind to make you worry! He''s all yours!" I said.


    Jeez, talk about dramatic. He''s such a jealous Alpha!


    ''Hm, jealous Alpha!'' I stopped walking and turned to look at him. He was still staring at me and I immediately struck gold with a new idea for my book.


    ''Baek-Hyun, my friend, you''re gonna be the star of my new book.'' I cackled silently and turned to continue leaving.


    He was simply confused as to why my expression was like that but who cared? I was gonna make a masterpiece out of him. I grinned.

 Chapter 6: What will you do if your Sun-bae sees you like this?

    Chapter 6: What will you do if your Sun-bae sees you like this?Living with Baek-Hyun and Woo-Bin wasn''t as exciting as I thought it would be.


    They didn''t really do anything and we''re hardly home... except at night and apparently, the walls were soundproof so I couldn''t hear anything even if they got at it.


    Well, leaving that troublesome habit aside, I decided to get a job since I had no single penny to my name. I was a graduate yet I couldn''t even apply at a decent company. Reason was, I somehow lost my certificate and the means to retrieve them.


    Way to go, Hae-Won!


    So, I opted for convenient stores, restaurants and cafes. Since I had experience working almost five part-time jobs a day, I knew I could pull it off but sadly, I couldn''t land a single job.


    "Sigh!" I sighed as I sat on the sofa.


    "What''s making you sigh so wearily, Sun-bae?" Woo-Bin asked, coming out of his room in a simple white shirt and shorts.


    "It''s nothing serious!" I said. "Don''t worry about me."


    "Something''s definitely bothering you!" He insisted and sat next to me.


    "I''m serious! It''s nothing to bother at all!" I said and shifted my gaze to the TV.


    "Alright but if you need my help, I''m always ready to help you out!" He said and I nodded. I was getting that eerie feeling again. Baek-Hyun couldn''t spare me from his murderous glares even for just a day.


    ''Hm, come to think of it. Does that mean the guy at the bathroom stall with him was Woo-Bin?'' I thought and peeked at Woo-Bin.


    The thought of him getting drenched in sweat and making lewd expressions just seemed to trigger my fan girl spirit.


    "What are you grinning at?" Baek-Hyun sat in-between me and Woo-Bin and gave me a nasty frown.


    Without realizing it, I had been grinning from ear to ear like a pervert.


    "Ahem!" I cleared my throat, adjusted my expression and looked towards the TV but he kept his suspicious gaze on me.


    I had to admit it, I was acting suspicious


    "By the way, Baek-Hyun," I called and he turned to me. "What do you do?"


    "What?"


    "I mean, where do you work? I know Woo-Bin works in the entertainment industry but I don''t know anything about you." They both stared at me, surprised.


    Did I say something wrong?


    "I didn''t know we were already so close that we''re on a first name basis!" He said and I immediately changed my tone. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Where do you work, Sun Baekhyun ssi?" I stressed and for a moment, I swore I saw a dissatisfied look on his face.


    "And I don''t think we''re close enough to ask each other about work." He added and I felt a cord in my head snap. Was he really messing with me?


    "Pfft!" Woo-Bin laughed and we both shifted our gaze to him. "You two seem to be hitting it off nice." He said but one look at each other and we already felt like throwing up.


    "I''d have to die and reincarnate to consider this guy my type?" I said and this somehow annoyed him.


    "You should feel lucky if ever I set a nice gaze on you. After all, you''re just a tiny beta!" He said and for a moment, I seemed to recall something.


    "Wait, what did you just say?" I asked but he simply glanced at me and got up. "Wait," I clung on to his shirt. "... repeat what you just said."


    I looked desperate as I clung onto his shirt and the atmosphere fell.


    "What do you want to hear? That you should feel lucky if I ever set my gaze on you or... "


    "No, the other! What did you say about me being a... ?" I paused.


    What was I even doing?


    Woo-Bin and Baek-Hyun stared at me in confusion. Even I was confused. I quickly let go of his shirt and got up.


    "Sorry I... I''ll go to bed now!" I quickly rushed to my room and closed the door.


    Woo-Bin turned to Baek-Hyun.


    "I think he feels really uncomfortable with your attitude!" He said. "Don''t you think you should lighten up a bit? Sun-bae is a really nice person and he''s also gone through a lot in life. Your attitude may make him feel unwanted."


    "It''s not like I don''t want him here at all but you''re the one who wanted to have someone occupying that empty room. I''m not obliged to be nice to him, am I?" Baek-Hyun said and drew closer. "It was better when it was just you and me. I could do whatever I wanted."


    "Oh? And now you can''t?" Woo-Bin asked with a provoking smile.


    "Dammit! You know what I mean!"


    Woo-Bin tittered and leaned back on the couch.


    "Well, there''s nobody here right now. Why don''t you take the opportunity to do what you ''want''!" It was a very tempting provocation and Baek-Hyun had no plans of resisting it.


    He immediately leaned in and locked his lips with Woo-Bin, engaging in a deep and sensual kiss.


    Baek-Hyun let go and stared at Woo-Bin''s sensual expression and smirked. He nibbled on his ear and whispered,


    "What will you do if your Sun-bae sees you like this? You''re such a mess right now, you know that?"


    "Does it matter?" Woo-Bin asked and wrapped his arms around his neck. "Everyman needs to quench his desires somehow, don''t they?"


    "Heh, you really are hot!" With that, he locked his lips once more with his. His hands traveled all the way into his shirt and fondled his skin.


    I, who had come out after running away arbitrarily, couldn''t help but stand frozen at the sight I was witnessing before my eyes.


    I didn''t mean to run away earlier but my thoughts were jumbled and my head, aching. After shutting my door, I realized I shouldn''t have run out like that. Plus, I hadn''t eaten anything for dinner yet.


    Maybe I should''ve stayed in the room because watching this live action before me, I didn''t feel it was the right thing.


    There was a nagging feeling in me. Was it Hae-won''s feeling or mine? I didn''t know.


    Usually, I''d get excited by such scenes. I''d even go to great lengths to watch the full thing but right at that moment, I couldn''t do that. I lowered my head.


    ''I''ll just go back to my room, silently!'' I thought to myself but as soon as I looked up, my eyes met Baek-Hyun''s and I flinched.

 Chapter 7: Good morning!

    Chapter 7: Good morning!I thought Baek-Hyun would get mad or yell but rather, he smirked and continued his making out session with Woo-Bin like I wasn''t even there.


    Was he trying to provoke me? He was clearly stating that Woo-Bin was his and I had no place to interfere.


    Well, it wasn''t like I was planning to, but his attitude... It was right out shameless and childish.


    Like I planned, I opened my door quietly and walked back in. Even if Baek-Hyun wasn''t embarrassed at the fact of being found out, I couldn''t say the same for Woo-Bin. I didn''t want things to become uncomfortable between us.


    That night, I slept with an empty stomach while my roommates had mind-blowing sex. Real smooth!


    I, who was a fan of gay guys making out, couldn''t watch them and just backed out. Was something wrong with me?


    The next morning, Woo-Bin flung himself to my side, as usual and I smiled.


    "Good morning!" I greeted and spotted a hickey on his collarbone region. He wasn''t even trying to hide it.


    Was it because he was negligent or that he just didn''t care if I found out? Either way, it really didn''t bother me.


    But it did! What was wrong with me that I couldn''t enjoy the free ticket to watch them make out? They were so hot on the sofa and their expressions. Gosh, why was I just feeling the gravity of the scene I witnessed?


    "Good morning!" Baek-Hyun greeted and I pouted my lips. He just had to meet my eyes and smirk, didn''t he?


    He found us in our usual clingy position and frowned. What? Was he still weary of me after what I saw last night?


    "Sun Baek-Hyun ssi!" I called. "What would you like to eat for breakfast?" I asked and his eyes landed on Woo-Bin.


    At that moment, I knew what he had in his mind.


    ''I want to eat that delicious piece of meat right next to you!'' Is probably what he was thinking.


    "Hello!" I waved my hand, indicating I was still in the room.


    "I''ll have anything!" He said and sat down.


    "Alright!" I said. "Woo-Bin, could you let go of me? I can''t really do anything with you holding on like this." I said and he lifted his head. Was he sleeping?


    "Alright!"


    He yawned and went to sit right next to Baek-Hyun, dropping his head on his shoulder.


    Baek-Hyun looked up and smirked at me. Gosh, this guy was so childish!


    I quickly whipped up some bacon and eggs and sat to eat with them.


    "Aren''t you going to wake him up?" I asked and Baek-Hyun looked up at him.


    "Let him sleep. He had a really ''rough'' night!" He said and I felt he was teasing me again.


    After breakfast, I watched the two retire to Baek-Hyun''s room and I said nothing about it. He would be a beast if he couldn''t even let Woo-Bin sleep for five minutes.


    "Now!" I jammed my hands together. "Let''s do the dishes and then clean the house!"


    The days living with those two, it was surprisingly nice. Other than Baek-Hyun treating me like a love rival and glaring at me every chance he got, it was really comfortable.


    "Sometimes, I feel this is a dream!" I said to myself.


    I could only feel the difference in gender when going out. Those two Alphas, they weren''t really that discriminative against me even if I was a tiny beta.


    Hm, those words. I was sure I heard it somewhere before. Who said it? When was it?


    It was Hae-won''s memory but I wanted to know. Somehow, it was killing me.


    "I''m leaving, Sun-bae!" Woo-Bin announced as he hugged me tightly. He rested his face on my head and wouldn''t let go. The posture, it was as if he was reminding me that I was a shorty where he was.


    "Go already! You might miss your flight." I said, hoping that would get him to move but he didn''t.


    "Baek-Hyun, can I fold Sun-bae and put him inside my suitcase? He''s already so small so I''m sure he''ll fit right in." He said and my eyes widened. Say what?


    "He might fit in!" Baek-Hyun said and my eyes grew wider. "But I''m sure the officers at the checkpoint wouldn''t let that slide!" He added and Woo-Bin sulked.


    That''s right, Woo-Bin was going out of town because he needed to shoot the new ad commercial he recently signed in his company and he was really reluctant to go after me.


    Seriously, I couldn''t tell what he was thinking. He and Baek-Hyun already had something going on between them. When he does this, does he not consider how Baek-Hyun would feel seeing all this? Or was he that confident that Baek-Hyun would never misunderstand or get jealous? S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Honestly, if it was the latter then he really didn''t know his boyfriend well.


    Somehow, I felt sad for Baek-Hyun!


    "Bye now, Sun-bae!" Woo-Bin waved and I waved back. "Next time, we''ll go to Jeju island together, okay?"


    "Yeah!"


    The door shut and I slowly dropped my hand. I was left alone. Hm, what to do for the next one week?


    I hit my fist against my palm. First things first!


    It had been so long since I became a boy and I felt stuffy down there. It didn''t feel okay to walk around with undies, much more naked, since there were other people living with me but now that I was alone, I felt free.


    I took a fresh bath, wore a small top and simple underwear. Briefs, to be precise. It felt like I was wearing female undies so it was comfortable.


    I took a bag of chips from the fridge and was just on my way to the living room when the front door opened. I froze! Who was it? Was it a thief? What should I do?


    I was still contemplating on what to do when the so-called thief walked in and revealed himself to be none other than Baek-Hyun. Our eyes met and his eyes widened in shock.


    "What the... ?"


    Of all people, why did it have to be him?

 Chapter 8: Home alone with Baek-Hyun?

    Chapter 8: Home alone with Baek-Hyun?Baek-Hyun stared at me with wide eyes.


    "How are you here?" I asked, also staring at him with wide eyes. "I thought you were going to Jeju island with Woo-Bin?" I asked but he kept silent, staring at me like he had just been told he won the lottery.


    What was he looking at?


    At that moment, I realized I was wearing only briefs and a little top that barely covered my belly button.


    "Ahh!" I screamed, trying to cover up when he smirked.


    "What, are you ashamed of how little you are?" He asked and walked past me.


    "Little... little what? Aren''t I little?" I asked and he stopped, turned and smirked again.


    "Sure!" He said and walked away.


    He left me confused. What was he talking about? I knew my frame was smaller than his but what did he mean by calling me little?


    Then it hit me. I looked down at my brief undie, there was barely a bulge. Was that what he meant when he called me little?


    My face immediately heated up and I screamed all the way to my room.


    "That bastard! He was looking down there the whole time, wasn''t he?" I dove into my bed. "What does he care? It''s not like he has any interest in me or anything!"


    I felt mad for some reason and decided to pour out my frustration on my new book project.


    I had a ton of things to write, thanks to him, so I got busy and almost forgot I was under the same roof as Baek-Hyun until a knock on my door broke me out of my cocoon.


    "Hey, I hope you didn''t die because of what I said." Baek-Hyun said but I simply pouted. What did he care?


    Besides, I wasn''t so interested in the size of my manhood because I didn''t care so I just didn''t feel affected.


    Rather, I felt embarrassed that he was looking down there. It was as if I was on the beach and my bikini suddenly came off. How embarrassing?!


    "Hey, I''m serious! Are you dead?" He asked.


    ''I''ll just ignore him'' I thought and continued typing but his annoying knocking kept distracting me and I got annoyed and yelled, "Just leave me alone, okay? I don''t want to see you."


    Suddenly, it went quiet. He didn''t knock anymore and I heard his retreating footsteps.


    "Guess all it took was to tell him off." I shrugged, unaware of the misunderstanding I had planted in the mind of Baek-Hyun.


    Two more hours passed and I got up from my chair. I stretched my hands really high and felt my bones crack.


    "Wow! I did such a great job!" I complimented myself. "I would''ve done more but it seems this body isn''t adapted to sitting for hours like my old body. Well, all is well!" I smiled cheerfully and moved towards my door. "If I keep this up, I''ll be able to start a mass upload in no time."


    I opened my door and skimmed the entire place. There was no sign of Baek-Hyun. I gave out a sigh of relief and freely walked out of the room but at that same moment, Baek-Hyun walked out of his room.


    "Oh great!" I exclaimed to myself.


    It was as if he had been waiting for me to leave the room and now that I''m out, he wanted to keep rubbing it in my face how big his thing was and how smaller mine was.


    Wait, how do I know his is big?


    The image of Baek-Hyun walking around with absolutely nothing and having his long rod of wonder dangling from side to side as he walked, filled my mind and I flushed.


    "Hey!" He called but I was too embarrassed to face him, after imagining what I just did, so I looked away and headed for the kitchen.


    Baek-Hyun stared at me as I walked away but I knew nothing of what was in his mind and did my own thing.


    "It''s already time to make lunch." I said to myself, wondering what to make. Baek-Hyun was present so it was best to make what he likes but there was one problem. I couldn''t ask him.


    Coincidentally, Baek-Hyun walked into the kitchen and I looked away, instinctively.


    "Hey!" He called but I ignored him. "This shit, why are you avoiding me?" He asked and I turned, only to see him standing right behind me.


    "I''m not avoiding you!" I said, lowering my head.


    "Really? Then look me in the eye." He said and I took a deep breath before looking up.


    He was so close and I felt my heart pounding. His face was so handsome. Why did he have to be a jerk to me all the time?


    "I told you I''m not avoiding... "


    My words were cut short when he leaned in, making our faces meet too closely. I instinctively moved back but I was at the end of the cabinet.


    "Stop moving!" He said and leaned in again. I bent my body over and I discovered we were in a really bad position. "Heh!" He smirked. "You don''t have anywhere to move now, do you?" Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Don''t be such a bully and get off!" I said.


    "When did I bully you?" He asked and I gave him a ''you have got to be kidding me'' look. "Is this about me calling you little? Are you mad about that?" He asked and my face couldn''t help but flush.


    I was thinking of the wrong thing at such a critical moment.


    "It''s not that." I said and tried to walk away but he blocked both of my exit routes with his long hands. Now his body was really leaning on mine.


    "If it''s not that then why are you all red? Was it embarrassing getting told you''re little or... ?"


    "I already said it''s not that!" I yelled and he moved his face closer to mine.


    "If it''s not then look me in the eye and say it." He said but I couldn''t. I had too many lewd thoughts going on in my head and I was scared of what...


    Wait, something''s weird. I felt something weird down... I shifted my gaze down and as soon as I saw what it was, my eyes widened.


    I had to do something before Baek-Hyun found out.


    "Huh?" He was already finding out so I gave him a hard nod on the head and ran off. It was painful but I would rather bear the pain than have Baek-Hyun finding out I was getting hard underneath him.


    I locked my room door and slid down, out of breath.


    "This is so embarrassing!"

 Chapter 9: We weren’t even close!

    Chapter 9: We weren''t even close!Baek-Hyun rubbed his forehead and looked in the direction of my room.


    "This little shit. Is he really mad about it?" He asked no one in particular. "Hm, maybe I went too far?"


    That day was definitely not a great day.


    It was weird. When I took it out, I couldn''t stop my heart from racing. I didn''t expect to have an erection just from imagining Baek-Hyun''s.


    He was such a domineering Alpha. He was handsome and had another handsome Alpha as his own so what would he gain by picking on a little beta like me?


    I couldn''t do it. It was the first time I was having an erection in this body and although I knew a lot about how it works, I couldn''t do it. It was hard!


    "What do I do?" I asked myself as I leaned my head back on the door. "Ha, it''s funny!" I said. "I''m here doing this whole Baek-Hyun''s just outside my door. What if he finds me like this? Heh! That will be really embarrassing!"


    Just a door separating us. I couldn''t think of anything else but that fact and as I thought of that, I remembered the image of Baek-Hyun walking around wearing nothing. And then, I thought about his.


    Wow! As a girl, I knew I would''ve loved to do it with such a sexy being but now I was a boy and a beta, I couldn''t dream of doing it with an Alpha even if I wanted to. It wasn''t fair! Why couldn''t I have an Alpha for myself?


    "Baek-Hyun is such a handsome jerk!" I muttered and just like that, got flooded with a rush of ecstasy. It was like nothing I had ever felt. "Ah!" I exclaimed, confused. "Did I just cum from thinking of Baek-Hyun?"


    That confusing and ecstatic feeling suddenly faded as I fell asleep in that position, forgetting to clean the cum from the floor.


    I woke up a few hours later and discovered it was dark. I realized I hadn''t cleaned the cum and smacked my head. It wasn''t easy to clean dried cum from a rugged floor. What was I thinking?


    I wasn''t really thinking of anything, haha!


    My stomach rumbled since I didn''t really eat anything during lunch so I decided to take a quick bath first before preparing something for dinner.


    "I hope Baek-Hyun''s not mad that I didn''t make lunch." I was busy preparing myself to face him at any time but I found out he wasn''t home.


    I was shocked when I found that there was food on the kitchen table. It was covered and a label was attached to it.


    "Make sure to eat it. It''s a bad habit to skip meals." That was what the note said. "Did he make this for me?" I opened them and discovered a nice combination of balbi, kimchi stew and rice. I smiled warmly. "It''s my favorite."


    I didn''t know if he did that to apologize or simply because he was feeling guilty for making me lock myself in my room all day. Either way, I heated the food and ate it with a warm heart.


    "It''s sweet!" I said and smiled warmly. Eating food made by Baek-Hyun felt tingly. Maybe I should forget about what happened and...


    "Bang!" I heard the door shut.


    I turned to the direction of the door and found Baek-Hyun with a black nylon bag and in it were a few cans of beer.


    "You''re up?" He asked but I just stared. "Want to drink some beer?"


    What was wrong with Baek-Hyun? Why was he acting like we were the best of buddies? We weren''t even close. Was it really because he was feeling guilty?


    "Sure!" I said. "There''s nothing like drinking beer with kimchi and balbi." I smiled.

 Chapter 10: Do you know how to drink?

    Chapter 10: Do you know how to drink?Baek-Hyun dropped the cans of beer on the living room table and we sat there. It was weird why he was being so nice to me all of a sudden because I was already used to his constant warning glares.


    Was it because Woo-Bin was absent so he didn''t have to guard against me? Seriously, he was such a jealous Alpha.


    "Do you know how to drink?" He asked and I thought,


    ''Why ask that after inviting me?''


    "I do!" I said. "But I''m not really active with it." He took them out of the nylon bag and I saw they were all OB brand. A beer with an alcohol level of 4.4%. ''Wow, he did well by asking me first.''


    Just then, his phone rang and he took it out. As soon as he saw who it was, his face lit up. I wondered who it was until he answered.


    "Baek-Hyun Ah!" I heard Woo-Bin scream out. "I finally got a chance to take a breather. Work is exhausting!" He complained and I could imagine the type of lazy expression he had on.


    "You did well but please, don''t tire yourself out too much!"


    "Say that to the director!" He muttered.


    "Is anything wrong? Do you want me to fix it?"


    "Thanks, you''re such a sweetheart but I can handle it." Woo-Bin said, and I caught Baek-Hyun smiling warmly.


    My eyes widened. He knew how to smile like that?


    It was like I was staring at a completely different person.


    "By the way, how''s Sun-bae? I hope you aren''t bullying him!" Hearing this, Baek-Hyun''s smile fell and he looked over at me.


    "I''m not!" He said but I subconsciously muttered,


    "Liar!" I didn''t expect my voice to be loud but he heard it and started yelling.


    "You''re bullying him, aren''t you? Oh my Sun-bae..." he suddenly cut the call and Baek-Hyun turned to me. I, in turn, darted my eyes aside.


    "Why are you looking at me like that? I didn''t mean to say anything." I said, trying to ease my guilt when my own phone rang. It was Woo-Bin and he was on video call.


    "Sun-bae~~~" Woo-Bin called out. "What did that baddie do to you? Did he bully you hard?" He inquired and my guilt kept rising, seeing as I was eating the food he made as an apology.


    "It''s nothing like that!" I said. "I was just saying. If I didn''t say that, you probably wouldn''t have called my line, haha!"


    Baek-Hyun glared at me and I creamed for help inwardly.


    "Don''t worry, Sun-bae, we will only be apart for a week. I''ll be with you soon so hang in there." He encouraged me and I nodded. "And as for Baek-Hyun, if he tries to bully you, just do this. Do... " he paused. "He''s listening, isn''t he?" He asked and I nodded. "Go to a quiet place. I don''t want him to hear what I''m about to say. It''ll be our little secret."


    I honestly didn''t want to but I''d give, to find even one of Baek-Hyun''s weaknesses. Though he was giving me the glares that said I shouldn''t move, I couldn''t help it and I dashed out of there and to my room.


    "Hey!" He called but I ignored.


    "So, tell me!" I said.


    "Listen closely, Sun-bae. Baek-Hyun is a really egoistic person."


    ''Aren''t all Alphas that way?''


    "So if he bullies you, you can simply say to him that he''s just messing with you because he''s not confident enough to last more than two hours!" Hearing this,my face flushed.


    "What...what does this have to do with bullying? He''s going to kill me if I say that!"


    "Trust me, he won''t!" Woo-Bin winked. "Just do that and I assure you, you won''t regret it!" With that, he cut the call.


    I clutched on to the hem of my shirt, blushing hard. How could I say that? There would be no need, right? Gosh, what do those two do on a daily basis to have such a comeback line?


    No, I should forget it. At the least, Baek-Hyun wouldn''t have a reason to bully me since Woo-Bin was gone.


    I adjusted my expression and walked out.


    Baek-Hyun was waiting, wondering and drinking.


    "What did he tell you?" He asked and I sat down.


    "It wasn''t anything important, really." I said and looked down at the rest of the food. I felt full already. "Woo-Bin is such a joker, you should know."


    He still didn''t look convinced, so I picked up a can of beer and clicked it with his.


    "Cheers!" I said and started gulping down the beer at a fast speed.


    "Oi, if you drink like that you''ll... " his words sounded slurred and I couldn''t get exactly what he was saying.


    "Come on, bottoms up!" I said. It was just my first can yet the alcohol was already getting to my head. Maybe I shouldn''t have drank so fast.


    "I thought you said you know how to drink." He said and I nodded, feeling lightheaded.


    I stared at him with red cheeks and was deeply under the influence of the beer.


    "Yeah...this is just... the beginning so," I raised another can. "... Let''s drink till we forget who we... who we are, hah!" I drank the beer but he just stared at me. "What?"


    "You didn''t change a bit." He said, confusing me but I simply felt the alcohol was messing with my hearing and continued drinking.


    "That''s enough!" He said. "It was a bad idea to bring you beer when it''s clear you can''t keep a clear head."


    "What do you mean... I... I can''t have beards?" I asked, completely off topic. "Is it because I lo... look like this? I''ll show you... I''ve got... " I stood up but my feet felt wobbly and I lost balance.


    Baek-Hyun caught me, as if expecting it and said. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "You can''t even hear me properly. How is this a clear head?" He asked and I giggled.


    "You''re weally pwetty!" I said over pouted lips and touched his face. "I want my first kiss to be with someone as pwetty as you. Hehe!"


    Baek-Hyun fell silent.


    "Hyung!" He muttered. "You really don''t remember?"

 Chapter 11: Woo-Bin sent you a package?

    Chapter 11: Woo-Bin sent you a package?I woke up the next morning feeling my head ache terribly. It was drumming like there was no tomorrow.


    "Argh, I shouldn''t have drank the beer." I said, regretting my actions. "Did I do something stupid?"


    I honestly couldn''t recall what had happened after I finished the first can. I wasn''t worried that I said anything wrong seeing as I was okay without a bruise or whatever. Baek-Hyun would definitely not keep silent about my words.


    But, how did I get to my room? Did I walk?


    I was still trying to recall what had happened when my phone rang.


    "Where is it?" I followed the sound to the living room and found Baek-Hyun reaching out for him.


    "Your phone is disturbing the morning peace." He said and walked on. Guess he was just passing.


    I picked up the phone and found the caller to be Woo-Bin. Why so early?


    "Hello!"


    "Good morning, Sun-bae." He greeted me first and I nodded.


    "Morning! Isn''t it too early? Why are you calling so early?" I asked.


    "It''s because I won''t have any free time till late." He said. "Anyway, did my method work out?" He asked and I suddenly recalled something. It was Baek-Hyun leaning in to kiss me.


    No! I shook my head. That''s impossible. Very impossible.


    "Hm,you''re silent. Did something happen?" He asked and I could''ve sworn I felt him grinning.


    "No. Nothing happened. I''m just having a bad hangover." I said. Why did I suddenly think of Baek-Hyun kissing me? Was it a dream? S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Baek-Hyun watched from the side with narrowed eyes and then walked away.


    "Anyway, I have a surprise for you." He said and the doorbell rang.


    "A surprise? Why?" I asked as I headed for the door and he chuckled.


    "You''ll see." With that, he cut the call, leaving me to wonder.


    I opened the door and found a delivery man.


    "I have a delivery for Park Hae-won!" He announced.


    "Yes, that''s me!" I nodded and he gave me his signature pad.


    "Sign here!" I signed and he left, just like that and I closed the door.


    "What''s that?" Baek-Hyun asked, seeing me walk in with the delivery box.


    "I don''t know. I think Woo-Bin sent it!" I said and he frowned.


    "Woo-Bin sent you a package?" I could clearly see he was displeased but I chose to ignore it. "What''s inside?"


    "He said it''s a surprise!" I was just about to open it when the tagged note slipped. "Let me read the tag first."


    I picked up the tags and read, "For Sun-bae''s eyes only."


    I looked up at Baek-Hyun. He was already anticipating what was in it but Woo-Bin said it was for my eyes only.


    What would I do if I opened it and discovered it was something Baek-Hyun shouldn''t see?


    "He said not to let you see." I said, smiling faintly but he didn''t take it lightly.


    "What? I want to see what it is." He attempted to snatch the box but I held it to myself.


    "Stop, do you want to see what''s in it by force?"


    "I already said I want to see what''s in it. Give it here!"


    "But it''s mine." I was already retreating my steps but he caught on to me and grabbed my hand.


    "Hey, I said what''s in it?" He looked mad.


    "I don''t know but he said it was for my eyes only." I squealed but he didn''t want to believe me. "Let go, you''ll break my arm if you keep this up!" I said and he immediately let go.


    I didn''t expect that to work but it did so I took the opportunity and dashed out of there.


    "Hey!" He ran after me but I was already in my room and locked it with the bolt. "Open up! What''s in the box?"


    "I already said I don''t know. Wiat, I''ll check it out. If it''s nothing offensive, I''ll tell you but if it is, well... "


    "Dammit, I''ll break this door down!"


    "Ahh!" I screamed. "Rule number one, remember? You can''t get in without my consent!"


    "That only applies to you, you snit!" He kept banging.


    "What? Does that mean you''re allowed to enter my room without me knowing? That''s not fair! It''s a practical example of invasion of privacy." My heart was racing. Why did it feel like he would kill me any minute?


    I decided to check what was in the box.


    "Hold your horses, I''m already opening it." I said and opened the box.


    Lo and behold, I saw the thing my eyes have only ever beheld in movies, comics and novels.


    "What is this?" With a red face, I picked it out of the box. It was a dildo! A freaking dildo! What was Woo-Bin thinking?


    "What''s in it? You have to tell me!"


    No freaking way was I going to tell him.


    The size of the dildo... why was it so huge? What was the reason for sending this to me? Woo-Bin, why was he doing this?


    "Hey, answer me!"


    There was a note. I picked it up with trembling hands, scared of what monstrosity it held and read,


    "It''s the perfect size for practice!"


    Practice? What practice? Woo-Bin was messing with me! I never said I was going to get my ass penetrated by anyone. And besides, I was a beta. What made him so sure that I would be interested in other guys?


    I looked at the dildo. It was so huge that my hand couldn''t measure.


    It was no wonder he said I should be the only one to look in the box. If I had opened it in Baek-Hyun''s presence, he would''ve probably misunderstood.


    All of a sudden, my door swung open and I hid the dildo behind me. Baek-Hyun came in, looking mad and I panicked.


    "It''s not what it looks like." I said but he approached. I was already at my bed side so I couldn''t escape.


    "Where is it?" He asked.


    "Um, it was nothing!" I said, feeling my entire body tense up as he approached.


    Then, a thought struck me. What if the gift was actually meant for Baek-Hyun? I mean, Woo-Bin said it was a surprise for me but what if he was just kidding and it was actually Baek-Hyun''s?


    Could it be that all the while I thought Baek-Hyun was the top, he was actually the bottom? My face flushed at this realisation.


    In that case, it wouldn''t be bad if I showed it to him, right?


    "Hey!" I snapped out of my thoughts and saw him standing before me, his tall figure reminding me I was a shorty where he was.


    "I think there''s been some misunderstanding!" I said but he suddenly pushed me down on the bed.


    "Where is it?" He asked but what was with this position of interrogation? Why was he on top of me?


    "Okay, look. I think the gift was actually meant for you and not me." I said but his frown didn''t fall.


    I decided to bring it out but considering our position, it would be super awkward to bring it out.


    "Um, could you get off me?"


    "You''ll just end up running. You always run!" He said and truly, he was tight.


    "Fine!" I removed my hand from behind and showed it to him. "Here it is. This is what Woo-Bin sent."


    As soon as Baek-Hyun saw it, his eyes widened. He was so shocked that I could see his eyes screaming, what the hell is this?

 Chapter 12: You... why are you hard?

    Chapter 12: You... why are you hard?Baek-Hyun turned his eyes to me.


    "Don''t misunderstand. I and Woo-Bin have nothing together." I quickly explained to avoid any misunderstanding. "I think he sent it to you."


    "Why would he send this thing to me? What am I supposed to do with it?"


    "In case you feel lonely, I guess!" I answered, darting my eyes. How was I supposed to know how they went about their sex life?


    "If I feel lonely, I wouldn''t need a fucking dildo." He said and I turned to face him.


    "I know it''s embarrassing to let people know you masturbate with a dildo but it''s true so put away your pride for a while, okay?" I said, boldly and he smirked.


    "Why would a top need a dildo to masturbate?" He asked and I froze.


    "Eh?"


    "Woo-Bin''s the bottom while I''m the top so why would I need a fucking dildo?" Then that meant...


    I looked at the dildo. Then was it truly sent to me? Why?


    "You and Woo-Bin have something going on, I''m sure of it!" He said. "Why would he send a dildo that is the exact size of my crotch?" This confused me more.


    "Your what?" I subconsciously looked down at him and then at the dildo.


    No way! Was that how big he was? It was huge!


    Baek-Hyun smirked.


    "You seem to be in doubt. How weak do you think I am to be at the bottom?" He asked and took my hand.


    Woo-Bin was right when he said Baek-Hyun was an egoistic person who held pride in his abilities. It wasn''t that I felt he was weak but rather, why was I getting involved in... wait, my hand!


    Baek-Hyun took my hand down to his crotch and I felt it. My entire body sobered at the impact. It was the first time I was touching a man''s crotch and it was huge.


    "See?" He looked smug.


    This guy... my entire body reddened and my head started rolling. What was going on? Why was I touching Baek-Hyun''s crotch and... was it hard? It was hard! Baek-Hyun was hard!


    "You... Why are you hard?"


    "What reaction did you expect from me when your hand is wiggling down there?" He asked like it was my fault.


    "Who put it there? My hand can''t stay still." I said, wanting to die from the embarrassment.


    "But you don''t want to take it back either. Do you like the feeling?" He blew on my ear and things got worse. I got hard as well.


    "Baek-Hyun, get off me!" I tried to push him off but he was just too sturdy.


    "Hm?" He looked down and then smiled tauntingly. "It looks like I''m not the only one who got hard. Your little fella down there is as well."


    "Don''t call me little, okay?" I said. "But that doesn''t matter, get off." I tried once more to push him but he wouldn''t budge.


    "Are you upset? I can help you. It''s not a big deal!" He said and my eyes widened.


    "You... what?" Did he just say he can help me? Afterall, what is going on in his mind?


    "It''s not a hard task." He said, reaching down to my shorts. "I can''t leave you to do it by yourself when I''m the one who caused it, right?"


    "Wait, no... " before I could protest, he slid down my shorts, revealing my little hard crotch.


    It was so embarrassing I felt I was being defiled so I covered my face.


    "Stop it!" I said, shivering from embarrassment.


    "Why? You don''t like it?" He suddenly touched it and I felt a current of electric bolts flow through me.


    "S... stop!" I said, holding his hand but he took one good look at me and started stroking. "Wait... you!" S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Why wasn''t he listening to me? Why was he doing what he wanted? Why was he stroking my crotch? Didn''t he hate me?


    ''Yeah, it''s precisely because he hates me that''s why he wants to humiliate me like this.'' I thought, biting down on my lip.


    I opened my eyes to see his calm and unmoving expression. Was this fun for him? Was it fun violating me like this?


    It wasn''t what I wanted but the feeling of his cool hand against my hard crotch just made me feel all forms of pleasure I had never experienced in my life.


    "You seem to be enjoying this?" He said over a smirk and I glared down at him. He was a demon. "I bet you''ll finish up soon."


    "Let... go!" I said, biting down on my lip.


    "While you''re about to reach climax? Do you really want that?" He asked almost as if he was mocking me and I had to admit it, the feeling was so good that I didn''t want him to stop.


    But even with such pleasure, I wanted him to stop. I didn''t want him to see me when I reached my climax. It would be too embarrassing.


    But it was too late to think of that as I felt the rush of ecstasy fill me whole and sperm gushed out of my crotch.


    "Hm, you lasted longer than I thought you would!" He said, giving me some space.


    Angered, I immediately slapped him across the cheek, shocking him and myself as well.


    "Get out!" I glared with tears in my eyes. I had never felt so humiliated in my life.


    Baek-Hyun didn''t say a word as he stared at the tears in my eyes and lowered his head. He got up and left.


    Once he shut the door, I cried.


    I cried for reasons I didn''t know, wondering why he was so mean to me and why he could even think of doing this when he was dating Woo-Bin?


    I suddenly realised that these sort of scenes I loved reading in BL were not actually great on the characters. They must''ve felt this bad.


    But then again, they weren''t real but in my case, it''s real. I''m real.


    "I''m so pathetic!" I exclaimed.


    Baek-Hyun stood outside my door staring at his hand. He covered his face with the other feeling pathetic.


    "I did it again!" He said and walked away.

 Chapter 13: Baek-Hyun likes me?

    Chapter 13: Baek-Hyun likes me?After crying my eyes out for a while, I decided I shouldn''t be wasting time dwelling on humiliating events but rather go out and find a job. The sooner I got a job, the sooner I''d be able to get out of that shared apartment and get one for myself.


    I snuck out of the house and luckily, I didn''t bump into Baek-Hyun. God only knows how I would''ve reacted if I saw him after what he has done to me.


    ''Let''s not dwell on that.''


    I vigorously went around looking for a job but I had a serious problem. It was either I disliked the working environment, the boss or the people who worked there.


    Why couldn''t I just bear with it like others did? I went from place to place until I felt I couldn''t walk anymore. Then it hit me, I hadn''t eaten since the morning.


    "This is all Baek-Hyun''s fault! How could he do that to me? I knew he hated me but to go so far and humiliate me? It was too much!" I kept rambling and cursing out as I walked into the noodle shop.


    All I had on me was only able to afford a bowl of noodles and the bus fee. I was living such a hard life.


    I let out a sigh and watched a couple walk in. They were an Alpha and Omega couple and they looked happy.


    The thrill I once used to have when seeing two guys holding hands suddenly faded. I couldn''t feel it and was rather sad.


    "Let''s not think about that." I shook my head and started slurping my noodles gradually.


    Then, I received a phone call. It was Woo-Bin. My blood immediately started boiling and I answered that call.


    "You... what is the meaning of what you sent me?" I asked, yelling at the top of my voice and attracting unnecessary attention. "Hold on!"


    I went to the restroom and placed my phone over my ear.


    "Woo-Bin, why did you play such a prank on me?" I asked, my head a bit cooler than earlier.


    "It wasn''t a prank. I honestly sent it for your own good." He said but I clenched my fists. "Have you tried it yet? Or was it too hard?"


    "Woo-Bin, is that how you look at me?" I asked, feeling teary. "Do you think I would suddenly jump on Baek-Hyun while you''re away? Do you think of me as someone who would steal another person''s boyfriend?"


    I sounded hurt and tears gradually slid down my cheek.


    "Sun-bae, who said Baek-Hyun and I are dating?" His words suddenly struck me.


    "What?"


    "Sun-bae, did you by chance see us, you know... "


    "It wasn''t my intention, I swear. I only saw you by chance and, and... "


    "And you concluded we were dating?" He started laughing. "Wow, Sun-bae, you''re still as naive and gullible as I remember."


    "But but... "


    It was clear that Baek-Hyun had feelings for him so why was he acting like he was oblivious to that fact? Were they really friends with benefits?


    "But still, that doesn''t mean I want to jump him." I said. "You sent such a thing as if you were a hundred percent sure I would use it? I''m not a horny bastard!"


    "Of course you aren''t, Sun-bae! But it''s not the same for Baek-Hyun." He said, making me a bit confused.


    "What''s that supposed to mean?"


    "Oh, I don''t know. Did you consider the fact that Baek-Hyun might like you?"


    "What? That''s impossible!" Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "I know right?" A little silence followed as I heard him talking to someone on the other side. "I''ve got to go, Sun-bae."


    "Wait, explain clearly what you meant by that."


    "Sorry, I think you''ll have to find out the rest on your own." With that, he cut the call.


    I was absolutely speechless. What did he mean Baek-Hyun had feelings for me? If anything, it was clear that Baek-Hyun had feelings for Woo-Bin. I saw it everyday.


    He practically glared holes into my head just to warn me to stay away from... Wait, those were glares, weren''t they?


    I shook my head. I had to stop thinking over exaggerating thoughts. There was no way.


    Besides, there was no way I would easily forgive him for what he did to me.


    I lost my appetite to continue eating my noodles and so I left the restaurant after paying up the bills.


    Though I said I wouldn''t think about it, I ended up thinking the whole way back home.


    Baek-Hyun... why did he like me?


    No, that was impossible. Like I said, I wouldn''t over exaggerate anymore.


    The moment I opened the door, I found a worried Baek-Hyun, who was just about to head out.


    "Hyung!" He called and my eyes shut open. What did he just call me? "Where were you? I was worried!"


    "You... " I shook my head and just walked past him. "Get out of my way." I said but he grabbed my hand.


    "Hey, where were you?" He asked and I turned, spiteful.


    "Why should I tell you that?" I asked, glaring at him.


    "You... you''re staying under this roof so you have to at least let me know when you''ll be back if you ever want to come back." He said and my eyes twitched.


    "I got it!" I flung my hand from his grip.


    Like me, my foot! There was no way he liked me. If anything, he wanted to control me simply because I was a weak and poor beta living under his roof.


    "You don''t have to remind me that I''m practically freeloading off you. I''ll find a job soon and then, I''ll pay the rent. When I have enough money, I''ll leave your sight as well, so you won''t have to bother me evading your space."


    "Wait, that''s not... "


    "Forget about it." I ignored his desperate expression and went back to my room. I took off my coat and beanie and went out to make dinner.


    He was still standing there like he had seen a ghost but I ignored him and went to make dinner. Whatever he had in his mind could stay there for all I cared. I just had to do my part and do the chores.

 Chapter 14: Did Baek-Hyun do this?

    Chapter 14: Did Baek-Hyun do this?The next day was laundry day, so I went around picking up all the dirty clothes.


    Baek-Hyun had a few. I picked them up while ignoring him, who sat with his legs stretched out on his bed and reading a book.


    He seemed to be too concentrated in his book to care about but I felt his eyes on me a few times. It was awkward but I ignored it.


    I went over to Woo-Bin''s room, wondering if he left any dirty clothes as well but as soon as I opened the door, I was met with a strong and powerful pheromone.


    The basket of clothes in my hand fell as I tried to breathe. It smelled like Baek-Hyun''s but I couldn''t think straight as to why his scent would be so strong coming from Woo-Bin''s room.


    "What happened?" Baek-Hyun asked, coming out of his room. And as soon as he saw me, his eyes widened. "You... are you okay?"


    I looked up at him. He shouldn''t know I can smell pheromones if not he''d kick me out. I shook my head and tried to get up.


    "It''s nothing." I said but it certainly didn''t look like nothing.


    Baek-Hyun looked at the room and then at me.


    "You... are you... ?"


    "I had a little heart attack." I blurted out. "It doesn''t occur frequently but when it does, it gets so hard to breathe but forget about it." I bent down to pick up the clothes. "I''m feeling better already."


    I walked past him towards the laundry room. I didn''t get to pick up Woo-Bin''s dirty clothes, if ever there was any and the day went by like that. But I still couldn''t put my finger on why Baek-Hyun''s smell filled the room so much.


    Later, I discovered Baek-Hyun sneaking out of Woo-Bin''s room. I wouldn''t call it sneaking but he was being suspicious.


    As soon as he was gone, I went to the room to see what business he did. Just as I was about to open the room, he caught me.


    "What are you doing?" I flinched and turned around.


    "Nothing!"


    "Nothing?" He walked towards me.


    "I mean," my eyes couldn''t stay on him as I felt I was already caught but he simply open the door and said,


    "You ended up leaving without the laundry, didn''t you?" He opened the door and the same strong pheromone that hit me the other day hit me again.


    I covered my nose and Baek-Hyun raised an eyebrow.


    "Why are you covering your nose?" He asked but I couldn''t come up with a decent explanation so I said,


    "I smell something vulgar coming from the room." It felt a bit offensive but I couldn''t think of anything else.


    "Vulgar?"


    "Just, let me search for that dirty outfit that''s got the room stinking so much. You can go now." I said, hoping he would leave.


    I felt extremely uncomfortable with the strong smell of pheromones hitting me and his eyes that kept searching my entire being.


    "Don''t break anything valuable." He warned and started walking away.


    I was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he halted and turned to me.


    "By the way," he began.


    "Yes?"


    "I want to eat something sweet for dinner and something that''s made out of pork tenderloin." He said. "I''ll head out for a bit so you can keep it in the fridge once you''re done."


    I simply stared at him as he left. I was still staring at the empty position when he came out dressed heavily against the autumn weather.


    He glanced at me shortly before leaving.


    "I... I should probably start preparing dinner." I said to myself and looked back at Woo-Bin''s opened room.


    Honestly, I no longer wanted to think about it. What Baek-Hyun did was his business. But I was sure it was something dirty for him to give off so many pheromones.


    I shook my head. This was no time to think.


    I covered my nose, it was suffocating, and went in to get Woo-Bin''s dirty clothes and just as I suspected, there were a few lying around. I picked them up quickly, unable to bear the harsh smell of pheromones when I stumbled on the waste bin.


    "What''s this?" I thought I had emptied it two days ago yet here I was, seeing a filled up bin. "Did Baek-Hyun do this?"


    I picked up the bin and as soon as I saw what was in it, I gasped, accidentally letting go and its contents messed up the room.


    There were used tissues that have been used to clean up semen. I knew it just from a glance.


    Baek-Hyun was indeed doing something dirty in Woo-Bin''s room and he wasn''t even trying to hide it.


    ''He knew I would come in yet he didn''t even think of disposing this. Or did it slip his mind?'' I blushed thinking about how much he masturbated for the bin to be so filled. ''He was probably thinking of Woo-Bin while doing it. I''m sure of it.''


    I glanced around the room. Other than his smell, the room was filled with Woo-Bin''s.


    ''I knew it. He liked Woo-Bin. Woo-Bin didn''t know what he was saying when he said I was the one he liked.''


    I quickly took the dirty clothes to the washing machine and came back to dispose of the waste bin.


    "Why can''t he at least consider that I''m the one taking out the trash!" I muttered. It was as if he was openly showing off that he could let out so much semen from his... I flushed. What was I thinking about again?


    I quickly tidied up the room and went out to watch my hand. The fridge had some pork meat so I set out to work.


    Since he said he wanted to eat something sweet, I decided to make Tangsuyuk, also known as sweet and sour pork. I also grilled the tenderloin with a bit of alcohol, hoping it would bring out its flavour.


    I also made several other side dishes like coconut jasmine rice, black bean noodles, cinnamon apples, salted shrimps, spicy radish salad and mussammari (pickled radish wraps). S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    I wasn''t sure which combination he would like so I cooked them all. He could just leave the rest till a later day if he couldn''t finish them.

 Chapter 15: ...I don’t need your pity.

    Chapter 15: ...I don''t need your pity.I did what Baek-Hyun asked and kept the food in the fridge. If it got cold, he''d just have to heat it up.


    Plus, I didn''t really want to see him so I made sure to eat up and go straight to bed. I needed to update my novel anyway, so I was busy.


    Half an hour into my busy time, Baek-Hyun returned home but I wasn''t aware since I was so focused on what I was doing. I kept my gaze on my screen till it was almost midnight.


    "This should do." I said to myself and stood up. I stretched my arms wide and fell back on my bed. "What time is it?" Though I asked this, I wasn''t interested in checking and quickly fell asleep.


    Baek-Hyun opened my room door, unknowingly to me and walked up to me. He kept excreting pheromones that made me hot, subconsciously and in that moment, he kissed my lips. Though I couldn''t tell what was going on since I literally passed out from exhaustion but whatever reason he had for doing that, I didn''t know.


    "Hyung." He called out and touched my face before letting go and left the room.


    The next morning, I woke up with a back ache. This body really wasn''t used to sitting for long hours.


    I opened my door and scanned the living room before walking out. I didn''t want to bump into Baek-Hyun.


    I went straight to the kitchen and checked to see he ate just the sweet and sour port and the coconut rice. Well, it was good for me since I needed to leave early.


    I heated the food and ate it. It was so delicious.


    "I don''t remember being such a great cook in my last life." I said to myself while moaning to the sweetness of my handwork.


    Then, I noticed the note stuck on the kitchen table.


    "Don''t wait for me. I''ll eat outside." It was Baek-Hyun''s note.


    Thank goodness for that. I didn''t know what I would''ve done if we met face to face but... wasn''t he going to apologise for what he did? Was he seriously going to let it all lie low without saying sorry? He practically harassed me.


    I stabbed the pork with my chopsticks.


    "Stupid Baek-Hyun!" I exclaimed and kept eating.


    This time, I was determined to get a job. I just needed the right working environment and the right thing to do.


    And as if my prayers were heard, I found the most suitable place. It was a restaurant and I was able to get the afternoon shirt till evening when the shop closed. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Well, at least I won''t see Baek-Hyun at night." I said to myself. "Hm, but seriously, what happened to Hae-won''s graduation certificate? Wouldn''t it be better to work as an office worker?"


    I was clearly scolding myself but all that went to naught the moment I started working and to think the heavens had blessed me, I was actually being punished.


    My first day at the restaurant was a complete disaster. The customers were completely discourteous and had no respect for the waiters.


    And just when I thought the day was over, I had to face another set of annoying customers and guess who it was, Baek-Hyun and a group of workers.


    They were holding some kind of company dinner and I discovered Baek-Hyun was the head director of a company. Sure, he was an Alpha, no surprise there.


    But why did it have to be here? If I didn''t know any better, I''d say he was stalking me.


    "Enjoy!" I said after dropping the last of their order and stole a glance at Baek-Hyun. He wasn''t looking my way and acting like he didn''t know me.


    Well, that was good. It was... perfect.


    "Hey, director, you haven''t had a drink all night." A scrawny guy said. He was quite bold, probably because of the few glasses he had downed.


    "Hey, even if you''re drunk, show some manners." The guy next to him said but turned to Baek-Hyun and said, "Director, he''s right. You should down a few bottles. It''s a Friday so you don''t have to worry about being drunk and unable to go to work the next day."


    Come to think of it, omega''s weren''t allowed to work. It was because of their heat cycle, wasn''t it? No business owner wanted to risk having an Omega around and having to clear up whatever mess that''ll arise because of their heat and pheromones.


    Omegas were really pathetic. I guess all that was left for them in the end was marriage and nothing more.


    I looked up and suddenly locked eyes with Baek-Hyun. He didn''t look away but kept staring at me.


    "Hey, newcomer, come clean the tables." My superior called and I turned.


    "I''m coming." Not minding Baek-Hyun''s eyes, I left to clean the tables.


    Baek-Hyun and his people were the last in the restaurant and they were the reason we, the workers, were unable to lock up and go home.


    ''It''s already five minutes past closing time, can you leave already?'' I thought while trying hard not to gnash my teeth.


    They were completely wasted and talking gibberish. This day, could it get any worse than this.


    I went to start clearing the table since there were a lot of empty plates but a guy suddenly grabbed my butt.


    "Wow, it''s so soft." He said and squeezed. I tried everything in my power not to break his head with the plates in my hand until he said, "You have such a pretty face and body. Why not come with me? I promise to treat you nicely and even pay."


    My blood boiled and I raised the plate, ready to bash it on his head when Baek-Hyun spoke,


    "Team leader Han seems to be too drunk to use his senses." He said and I turned to him. "It''s best if you stay home for a few days."


    "What''s that? I only grabbed his ass, is that any offence?"


    "It isn''t? That''s funny, I wonder why a beta like you should care about another beta''s ass."


    "What?! He''s a beta?"


    "What? Did you think an Omega would work here for the likes of you to molest? People like you are the reason Omegas can''t work." He added, glaring straight into his soul.


    I bit my lip. He was helping me. Even when he did something similar a few days ago, he was reprimanding a beta. Was it okay for him to do it since he was an Alpha?


    "Now, apologise!" Baek-Hyun demanded but I didn''t need his help.


    "Thank you for your help but I don''t need your pity, nor do I need a forced apology." I said and did what was in my mind.


    Instead of bashing his head with the plate, I elbowed his head, hard.


    "I think this is satisfactory enough. Please, have a nice night." I smiled and carried the plates and left.

 Chapter 16: You think you’re all good because Baek-Hyun pays attention to you, huh?

    Chapter 16: You think you''re all good because Baek-Hyun pays attention to you, huh?Baek-Hyun''s memory of Hae-won went far back as to when they were still in middle school.


    At that time, the majority in his class were Alphas and Omegas. While the young Alpha''s tried to look their best and win the attention of those delicate and frail looking Omegas, Betas were few and were easily bullied.


    But the appearance of this Beta, it was different. He stood in front of the class with a face that outshined all the omegas out together and his face was beaming with a wide smile.


    He was beautiful and confident and he was a Beta.


    "Hello, I''m Park Hae-won. There are a lot of things for me to learn so I hope you can put me through it all. Thank you and please take care of me." Once again, he smiled.


    "Whoa, did you see that?"


    "Are you sure he''s a beta? He''s too pretty."


    "I think I''m into betas now, haha"


    While the Alphas joked about this, the Omegas sensed a new threat to their attention. Baek-Hyun stared at Hae-won in an intriguing way.


    "Oh, by the way, Hae-won is a year older than you all. He missed a class due to health issues so please take care of him and don''t bully him, okay?" The teacher announced.


    "This is exciting!"


    "That means we have to call him Hyung, is that it?"


    "I''ll call him Hyung. It''ll be fun."


    "Hae-won, take a seat next to Baek-Hyun." The teacher said and he looked at her.


    "Who?"


    "Baek-Hyun, raise your hand." Baek-Hyun raised his hand and Hae-won smiled.


    "Okay." He went to sit next to Baek-Hyun and said, "Hello, I hope we become friends."


    "Wow, the beta wants to become friends with an Alpha, big dreams." Someone mocked but Baek-Hyun stayed silent and just turned to the window.


    "I''ll take that as a yes."


    From that day, Baek-Hyun and Hae-won became seatmates and Hae-won followed him everywhere simply because he felt he was too lonely.


    "Can you stay away now?" Baek-Hyun asked seeing him approach.


    "But we''re friends." Hae-won said. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "You said it, not me."


    "But you didn''t disagree either." He took a step forward. "I hate that you''re always alone."


    "And what do you care? You don''t even know me. You''re just a tiny beta." He barked at him. "Just stay away, okay? You''ll only get hurt if you insist on following me."


    Hae-won couldn''t get what Baek-Hyun was talking about and stubbornly kept following him but one day, he stopped. He even changed seats and started seating at the other end of the class. He no longer ran up to Baek-Hyun each time he saw him and he didn''t have lunch with him either.


    ''I guess it''s finally quiet.'' Baek-Hyun thought in relief but deep down, he was concerned. ''Did he stop coming to me because he got bored? I am a boring person, afterall.''


    He couldn''t voice this out as he couldn''t just walk up to him and ask. Besides, he was the one who told him to stay away so going back to him now looked stupid.


    But it didn''t look like he had gotten over him or he got bored. Rather, he was avoiding him. He always ran the opposite direction each time they happened to walk on the same path and he avoided eye contact.


    It was suspicious and he wanted to get to the bottom of it.


    "Alright, everyone, choose a partner for today''s P.E exercise." The teacher announced and Baek-Hyun took this as an opportunity.


    He marched towards Hae-won and seized his hand.


    "Teacher, I''ve found my partner." He announced.


    "That''s good. Everyone, find a partner and..."


    "What are you doing? Let go." Hae-won struggled, quietly, to free himself but he wouldn''t let go.


    "Why are you avoiding me?"


    "I''m not." He said but it was clear he was lying. "You... you''re the one who said... who said I should stay away." He kept his gaze down, afraid that Baek-Hyun would see through him.


    "Then don''t stay away anymore." He said. "Play with me and disturb the way you used to, I won''t push you away."


    Hae-won raised his head. But then he remembered.


    "I... I can''t." he said.


    "Why not? You didn''t have a problem before, what now?"


    "I, I just don''t want to be anyone''s burden." He said and suddenly met eyes with the girl behind Baek-Hyun and he shrieked. "Anyway, I''m not feeling too good. I need to go to the infirmary." He said and successfully freed himself and ran off.


    "Hey!"


    The girl standing behind Baek-Hyun suddenly got in front of him, intentionally blocking his path.


    "Oh, I see you no longer have a partner. I don''t have one too so we can be partners, is that okay?" Min-Ji smiled but he couldn''t stop staring in the direction Hae-won ran in.


    She looked over at Hae-won''s retreating figure and frowned.


    At the end of the day, Baek-Hyun decided to shoot a few hoops in the gym since nothing was going his way, when he heard voices.


    "You think you''re all good because Baek-Hyun pays attention to you, huh?" It was Min-Ji''s voice and she was talking about him but who was she talking to?


    He decided to go closer to see what was going on.


    There were three students, including Min-Ji. While two of them were holding Hae-won down, Min-Ji stood in front, addressing him lightly.


    "Didn''t I warn you last time that you shouldn''t get close to him? You''re a beta, you shouldn''t get close to him. You''ll only ruin his reputation and he won''t be able to inherit his father''s company in the future, do you want that?"


    "I stayed away. I really did."


    "Oh? Then what was that stunt you pulled during P.E class?" She asked.


    "I didn''t mean to. I... "


    "You didn''t mean to but I guess your pretty face and nice skin is way too good for you. Maybe we should fix that." She snapped her fingers.


    Haewon''s eyes widened. What were they going to do?


    "Let''s fix this pretty beta''s face."


    "What the hell?" Baek-Hyun yelled, frightening them. "What the hell are you doing to him?"


    "Baek... Baek-Hyun, it''s not what it looks like." Min-Ji tried to lie her way out of it.


    "This shit... I heard everything. You''re threatening him not to come close to me and with lies like that?"

 Chapter 17: You’re pretty, that’s all that matters.

    Chapter 17: You''re pretty, that''s all that matters.Baek-Hyun looked furiously at Min-Ji then turned to Hae-won. "And you, how dumb are you to believe everything she''s saying?"


    Hae-won simply stared silently.


    "We were only doing this for your own good. He goes around saying you''re his friend. He''s ruining your image."


    "So what if he goes around telling everyone that? We''re friends. Is there a problem with that? Who gave you the right to fuss over my business?" Baek-Hyun halted at them and they ran away, leaving Min-Ji who thought she could sweet talk her way out of it since she was an Omega.


    "I didn''t mean it. I only want what''s best for you." She sobbed but it all looked disgusting to Baek-Hyun and he glared.


    "Get away while I''m still being nice." She flinched and ran away in tears.


    "You... You said we were friends? Did you mean it?"


    "This dummy. Weren''t you the one who asked me to be your friend? You wanna back out now?" His words were harsh but somehow, it was comforting to Hae-won and he cried. "Hey, what''s this?"


    "I''m just so happy." He claimed, smiling over the tears.


    Compared to how disgusted he was when he watched Min-Ji sob, this actually moved his heart.


    "Dummy, you''re supposed to laugh when you''re happy." He said, hiding his blush by looking away. "Let''s go. Can you stand?"


    He tried to stand but he couldn''t. The fear was too much for him.


    "Here!" Baek-Hyun crouched down, showing his back. "Get on, I''ll carry you home."


    "No way. This will really ruin your image. How can you carry me?" He waved his hands frantically.


    "Do I look like I care?"


    He didn''t care so there was no problem there, right?


    ''Am I being too selfish?'' He thought and fiddled his thumb. "But I might be heavy."


    "You? Tch, you''re just a tiny beta. What heavy? Get on while I''m still being nice." He said and it touched him.


    Baek-Hyun carried Hae-won like he weighed nothing and Hae-won made sure to wrap his hands tightly around his neck but not too tight.


    "Seriously, what were you worrying about? You don''t even weigh as much as my bag." Baek-Hyun teased and he buried his head in his back.


    "I get it but I''m still older than you."


    "Alright. I''ll call you Hyung from now on. Let''s not ruin the little self-esteem you have left, haha!"


    ''He laughed'' Hae-won squeezed his arm lightly. "Really? You''ll call me Hyung?"


    "Of course. Hyung, you don''t weigh a thing and you''re too gullible. Don''t let them bully you ever, alright?"


    "Hm!"


    Those were the happiest days Baek-Hyun could ever remember. The time spent with Hae-won was short but it was fulfilling.


    Now, staring at his retreating figure, he couldn''t help but ask himself,


    "What went wrong?"


    Hae-won dropped the plates with minor force but he was furious. That scumbag grabbed his ass and Baek-Hyun was trying to be the hero? He didn''t ask for his help, did he?


    "Newcomer, are you okay?" A senior colleague, Jin asked but Hae-won looked up at him with fiery eyes.


    ''It seems I won''t be working here for as long as I thought.'' He thought to himself and said to Jin. "Can''t we just chase them out?"


    "If we do that, our restaurant may get a bad review and business would become bad." Jin explained and he tsked.


    "I don''t have all the patience in the world." He said. "That guy, can I sue him?"


    "Why?" Jin asked.


    "That guy, he... " he paused. It didn''t feel great telling someone that he got grabbed at the ass. "Nevermind."


    The customers started getting up and Hae-won gave out a sigh of relief. But if this was what he would keep facing every day then he would definitely quit right away.


    "I''d like ten cans of beer to go." Baek-Hyun ordered and Hae-won twisted his lips. What did he need ten canned beers for?


    "I''m coming."


    "Hey, director Baek-Hyun, won''t you come with us to Karaoke?" A female worker asked but he shook his head.


    "I''m not in the mood for Karaoke. You guys go ahead and leave me. I''ll only ruin the mood for you." He said. "And also, don''t stay up too late.it may be a weekend but having a nice goodnight sleep without problems is also important." He sounded considerate and they blushed.


    "Thank you, director and good night. Have a safe trip home."


    "Alright, you too."


    He shifted his gaze from the female workers to Hae-won, who was working hard to clear the table.


    Jin handed him the nylon of canned beer and he played the bills.


    "Thank you. Come again." Jin said but secretly, Hae-won cursed.


    ''Never come back as long as I''m still here.'' This was all he wanted but the moment he walked out of the restaurant, ready to head home, he found Baek-Hyun standing right at the corner, smoking.


    It was as if he was waiting for someone.


    "I''ll just pretend like I can''t see him." He said to himself but the moment he walked past him, he called out.


    "Hey." He froze. "I was waiting for you." He said and Hae-won turned to him.


    "And why is that?" He asked, clearly displeased. ''Seriously, I expected you to be home by now and sleeping or whatever you do in your room.''


    "It''s late. Let me take you home." Baek-Hyun offered and Hae-won turned to him.


    "Thanks but I can just call a cab." He said and made to keep leaving but Baek-Hyun held onto his arm. "Hey." sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Don''t be stubborn. You don''t know how dangerous it gets at night." He said and Hae-won looked down at his hand, holding on to his own arm.


    "It clearly is. Let go." He said but Baek-Hyun wouldn''t. "What do you take me for? Do I look like I can''t take care of myself?" He yanked his arm out of his grip and turned away. "Seriously, you should mind your own business."


    "But what if you get robbed. You''re just a tiny beta, you can''t do anything if you get approached by some weird guys."


    ''Those words again.'' Hae-won thought, feeling irked. "If I get robbed, it''s my business. Stay away, you''re creeping me out."


    Seriously, what was wrong with Baek-Hyun? Acting like he was concerned about him when he was a jerk on another level.


    An angry Hae-won walked into a back alley and then realised he took a wrong turn.


    "Damn! I got so angry that I didn''t pay attention to where I was going." He said to himself and made a turn when he encountered two guys.


    They were betas and staring down at him with lustful eyes.


    "Hey, get out of my way." He said but they just stared down at him with lust.


    "Where do you want to go? Brother, those Alphas really have something good for them. Just look at this omega. He''s so cute."


    Once again, Hae-won was being mistaken for an Omega.


    "Are you knuckle heads blind? Can''t you see I''m a beta?" He flared at them.


    "What? Who do you plan to deceive?"


    This just got Hae-won more annoyed and immediately swiped out his ID card.


    "Take a look, you morons." One of them took the card and scanned it.


    "Hm, so what?"


    "What?"


    "You''re pretty, that''s all that matters. We can have fun with you and it''ll still feel like we''re doing it with an Omega." He licked his lips.


    Hae-won stepped back. Her day just kept moving from one worse event to another and it just had to end with this?


    ''Please, just give me a break.''

 Chapter 18: You’ll drink with me, won’t you?

    Chapter 18: You''ll drink with me, won''t you?Hae-won found himself in a pickle jar. These lustful Betas had their eyes on him even when they were the same gender.


    ''And I thought life was going to be easy as a boy,'' he thought. ''Maybe I should''ve left with Baek-Hyun!'' He shook his head. They were all the same.


    "Come on, don''t be shy. We don''t bite." They said that but it didn''t match with the hideous look they had in their eyes.


    ''Who in their right mind would believe that?'' He thought and stepped back once more before taking to his heels.


    "Hey!" They ran after him.


    He ran till he got to a dead end.


    ''Oh no! This is really not my day.'' he turned to the two betas. He could only talk his way out of this now. "Come on guys, you can''t tell me you''re capable of getting a boner when looking at me. It''s impossible."


    "Tell that to your pretty face and smooth skin." One of them said,


    "Well, after that chase, you must''ve felt a little relief down there, don''t you think?"


    "Stop trying to mess with our heads."


    "But I''m being honest. I thought you guys, like me, would be into pretty chicks. I like boobs and a nice wet hole but I don''t have that. Do you think you''ll be able to enjoy any of this?" ''God, what am I saying?''


    "Hm, you''re right. But we don''t have those so we can only settle for you."


    They stretched out their hands, ready to grab him but he gave them the slip but instead of running, threw his arms around their neck.


    "Why didn''t you say that earlier? I know a place where we can get that and walk away without paying."


    "Are you being serious?"


    "Trust me. I''m a regular over there." He boasted.


    Even if it was a lie, they were taking it seriously. All Hae-won wanted to do was buy time till he was sure he could get away.


    "It''ll be nice but we can''t just trust you simply because you tell us to."


    "Well, suit yourself." He said and finally found the opportunity he was looking for. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He kicked them both behind their knees, making them fall and he ran away, as fast as he could.


    "Hey, get back here." They yelled and started chasing him but he gave them a good distance.


    He felt them chasing buy he didn''t dare look back for fear that he would slow down and they would catch up with him.


    ''God, you didn''t give me this second life to get molested by two numskulls. I didn''t experience this as a girl so why should I experience it as a boy?'' He thought, desperately hoping to lose them.


    Just as he was about to make a bend at a junction, he ran into someone and they both crashed to the ground.


    "Ouch." He looked up only to find out it was Baek-Hyun and he reeked of both alcohol and smoke.


    "Why are you still here?" He asked and Baek-Hyun looked back to see that the betas were getting close.


    Baek-Hyun looked behind himand saw the betas.


    "Were you approached by those guys?" He asked and Hae-won turned his attention to him. "Get up first."


    "I hate to say it but you were right." He said as he got up. "The world is filled with dangerous people and I don''t want to get involved."


    "What happened?"


    "I... "


    "Hey!" The betas called out, breathing out hard. "He''s ours."


    Hearing this, Baek-Hyun grew angry. He glared at them.


    "What did you just say?" They flinched and realised he was an Alpha.


    "Well, we just want to have a nice chat with him and... "


    "A nice chat with who?" Baek-Hyun moved Hae-won behind him and walked towards the Betas. "I was already in a bad mood, and you come around claiming my person as yours?"


    ''When did I become his person?'' Hae-won thought, spitefully. But he was helping him so he decided to keep quiet about it.


    "Hm, we''re sorry.we didn''t know he was yours." They quickly apologised. No one wanted to anger an Alpha.


    "Good, now crawl away before I break a few bones."


    They quickly ran away, giving Hae-won nasty looks and Hae-won in turn, stuck out his tongue at them.


    Baek-Hyun turned to Hae-won.


    "I told you it''s dangerous to walk alone at night." He said and Hae-won rolled hiseyes.


    "Yeah, I see that now." He tucked his hands in his coat pocket. "Well, thank you and I''ll get going."


    "You still want to go around alone?" Baek-Hyun asked and he stopped.


    It really was a bad idea to walk around alone but did he have to rely on Baek-Hyun again? Well, he was an Alpha and there was no harm using him.


    "Alright." He said. "Would you like to escort me, Mr Knight in shining armour?" He asked and Baek-Hyun snickered.


    "Mr Knight in shining armour." He repeated. "That''s one way to call me." He said and nodded. "But first, I need to grab a few bottles of beer from the convenient store up ahead."


    Hae-won looked at him in disbelief and looked over at the convenient store up ahead and he asked,


    "Didn''t you buy ten bottles from the restaurant?"


    "I drank them all already." He answered and hiseyes widened. It was no wonder he reeked but all ten bottles in one go?


    "What are you, a drum?" He asked and Baek-Hyun, stunned, started laughing. "What?"


    "That''s the first time you''ve talked to me so casually." He said and laughed more. "You called me a drum."


    "It was a metaphor, okay?" He pouted and looked away. ''Why can he get to look so handsome while laughing? It''s not fair.''


    It was the first time he was seeing him laugh so heartily and it felt warm somehow.


    "Well, this drum wants to drink more." He said.


    "Good luck with that." Hae-won said and wanted to walk away but Baek-Hyun held him back.


    "You''ll drink with me, won''t you?"


    "Why?"


    "I''ll take it as a thank you for saving you."


    "I don''t want to." Hae-won disagreed. ''I can''t let what happened last time repeat itself. I''m not that good at drinking.''


    "Then you''ll be in debt till I can think of something else." He said with a cunning grin and Hae-won grumbled.


    "Alright. I''ll drink."

 Chapter 19: A drunk Hae-won!

    Chapter 19: A drunk Hae-won!Baek-Hyun bought five extra bottles but the alcohol concentration was higher than the last beer he bought.


    "Are you sure you''ll be okay drinking all this beer?" Hae-won asked.


    "I won''t be drinking them alone, though." He said and handed the nylon over to him. "You''re drinking with me, remember?"


    Hae-won gave a disgruntled expression at him and followed from behind.


    "Wait, where are we going?" He asked and Baek-Hyun stopped and turned to him.


    "Home of course. Why? Would you like to drink on the streets?" He smirked and Hae-won tsked.


    "Fine. Let''s get going." He walked ahead. ''Anyway, it''d be a good idea to drink at him rather than the streets. Who knows what I''ll do once I''m out.''


    They got to where Baek-Hyun parked his car and Hae-won''s eyes widened. This was the first time he was seeing Baek-Hyun''s car and this... it was way out of his league.


    "What''s wrong?" Baek-Hyun asked, seeing Hae-won''s shocked expression.


    "It''s... it''s nothing." He said. ''I was such a fool. I should''ve gone with him earlier and then I wouldn''t have had to face those horny bastards.'' he thought. "But wait, are you really going to drive? You drank alcohol!"


    "But do I look drunk to you?" He asked in response and Hae-won scanned him.


    He certainly didn''t look like someone who drank ten bottles of beer.


    "You gave them out, didn''t you?" He finally figured it out and Baek-Hyun smirked.


    "You finally became smart."


    "You... "


    He said he drank them all, was he supposed to doubt him? But why was his entire body reeking of alcohol if he didn''t drink them?


    As if reading his mind, Baek-Hyun responded,


    "The first bottle I opened spilled all over me. I got so annoyed and gave the rest away." He said with a smile. "The moment you bumped into me, I was just done cleaning it up."


    "Oh!" Hae-won exclaimed, lowering his head. "But you''re still in the mood to drink so you bought more?"


    "Well, it''s because I found myself a drinking partner." He grinned and got inside the car.


    The car, Mercedes Benz, was a total eye catcher. Its black surface sparkled and the inside was no joke. The leather seats were super comfortable and the cool air in it was relaxing.


    It was Hae-won''s first time entering such an expensive car and thus he realised Baek-Hyun really was a young generation Chaebol. He was an Alpha afterall.


    "What?" Baek-Hyun asked.


    "What?" Hae-won responded, likewise.


    "Why are you staring at me like that? It''ll make me think you have a crush on me or something." Baek-Hyun said and though not wrong, Hae-won did not deny it.


    "It''s just... you''re really rich." He subconsciously blurred out but quickly looked away, awkwardly. "Anyway, I''ve been meaning to ask, why did you guys decide to find a roommate? It didn''t look like you were in need of cash and you can definitely afford house cleaning so... "


    "Woo-Bin didn''t want me to live alone." He said. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "But he''s there, isn''t he?" He shook his head.


    "Just like how he''s away right now, he often leaves for work and I''m left alone in that apartment. It''s lonely."


    They got to a red light and stopped.


    Hae-won stared at him for a while. He didn''t think he''d hear him say that.


    "You guys are really close." Hae-won said. ''How can they not be dating?''


    "Well, he insisted that anyone would, as long as it wasn''t an Omega." Baek-Hyun added.


    "Because of their heat cycles?"


    "Yes and also... " he paused. "Forget it."


    "Baek-Hyun ssi, don''t you like Woo-Bin?" Hae-won suddenly asked and he flinched. He quickly realised he shouldn''t have asked that and said, "Sorry, I overstepped my boundaries. I''ll stop talking." He faced the window but Baek-Hyun didn''t take his eyes off him.


    The traffic lights were green and so he had to fix his eyes on the road.


    The rest of the trip was silent all through since both of them refused to utter a word.


    When they got to the garage, Hae-won quickly went up ahead of him with the nylon of beer, just so he could get changed before he reached the apartment.


    ''I don''t feel like taking a shower.'' he thought. ''Maybe Baek-Hyun will take a shower since he got beer all over him. When he''s taking a shower, I''ll just drink one beer and go to bed. He won''t wake me while I''m sleeping, right?''


    By the time Baek-Hyun got up to the apartment, Hae-won had already set the beer on the table and was waiting patiently.


    "You''re... "


    "You can go ahead and take a shower. I''ll start drinking first." Hae-won said hoping to be left alone but Baek-Hyun didn''t like the idea so he said,


    "That''s not fun." He dropped his coat on the chair and sat next to him. "I''ll just drink like that."


    "What?" That was definitely not what he had expected.


    "Why? I''m not that uncomfortable and I don''t want to keep you up for too long." He said.


    ''Of course I won''t stay till you get back.'' Hae-won thought, twisting his lips in an annoyed way.


    This atmosphere, he didn''t like it.


    ''Okay, I''ll just drink as fast as I can so I can end this drinking session.'' he thought and picked up a can of beer. ''If I finish two first, I''ll be able to leave, right?''


    He opened the can and started gulping down the beer furiously.


    "Slow down or you''ll repeat what happened last time." Baek-Hyun warned but it was already too late. Hae-won had already finished a can and was out of it.


    He looked up with a red face and shook his head.


    "That''s not going to happen. I''ll be fine." He said, waving his hands and then, he opened up a second can.


    ''I should stop him but I''m a bit curious as to how he''ll act this time around.'' Baek-Hyun thought while slowly drinking his beer. ''What gives him the boldness to drink so fast when he''s not good at it?''


    After the second can, Hae-won completely lost his senses but he was surprisingly quiet so Baek-Hyun concluded he had passed out.


    "Seriously, where does your confidence come from?" Baek-Hyun asked as he gently stroked his hair. "You''re completely out."


    Hae-won suddenly grabbed his hand which shocked him. He thought he was out.


    A drunk Hae-won raised his head and tried to look Baek-Hyun in the eye but his vision was blurry.


    "Why are there three of you?" He asked. "Well, that does... it... doesn''t matter." His speech kept rising and falling, just like his head that kept swaying. "Anyway, which one of you... " he tried to point with his other hand but it was no use. "...Which one of you touched me?"


    "What?"


    "Which one of you scumbags, touched me down... there?" He called out and Baek-Hyun paused. "Show him. Show him to me so that I... so that I can... whack him a bit. He should really learn to put.. others no... my feelings into... wah!" He suddenly burst out crying and Baek-Hyun''s mind went blank.


    "Oh no, what''s wrong?" He asked.


    "He touched me!" Hae-won screamed. "He touched me and made me feel weird. Wah!"


    Seeing Hae-won cry like this, Baek-Hyun finally came to realise that he had yet to apologise for what he did that day. But what could he do? A simple apology wouldn''t erase what he did. Plus, he wasn''t confident that he wouldn''t repeat that same mistake.

 Chapter 20: ... can we start over?

    Chapter 20: ... can we start over?Hae-won cried because of the feeling he had bottled up in his heart. He was mad at Baek-Hyun for what he did but he couldn''t voice it out.


    Why? He just couldn''t.


    The one who was behind the offence didn''t care to apologise so what difference would it make even if he voiced his thoughts?


    Now that he was drunk, he couldn''t keep it in and just let it out. It was painful getting humiliated like that.


    "Why did you humiliate me like that?" He asked as he cried. "Is it because you hate me? Is it because you see me as a pushover? I''m a beta, so what? I''m a person with feelings too, you know?"


    Baek-Hyun was short of words. What could he say? Hae-won was crying so much right in front of him and it was all because of him.


    "Hey." He called out. "Don''t be like this." He tried to calm him down but Hae-won retaliated with his entire body.


    "No, you, don''t be like this." He kicked him in the guts and Baek-Hyun groaned in pain. "I hate that you''re so rich and you look down on me. It''s not my fault I became a beta." He kept hitting and Baek-Hyun took it all till it got too much.


    "Hey, you''re beating me up already, isn''t that enough?" Baek-Hyun asked and Hae-won stared at him, teary eyed.


    "But you still haven''t said the word." He said.


    "What word?" S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "You still haven''t apologised properly. You humiliated me, wah!" He started crying again. "You don''t even like me so why bother with me?"


    "But I do like you." Baek-Hyun suddenly said and Hae-won paused.


    "What?"


    "When have I ever said that I don''t like you?" How was that possible?


    "But you... you... you kept glaring at me and kept doing all these awful things to me. You hate me." He insisted and it got Baek-Hyun thinking.


    ''Did I go too far?'' He thought and narrowed his eyes. ''Will he remember this tomorrow? He''s really drunk.''


    "Baek-Hyun hates the sight of me." Hae-won cried.


    "I don''t hate you." Baek-Hyun said, trying to calm him by lightly patting his back. "I was just upset that you forgot about me." He added.


    "I forgot you? But I don''t think we''ve met before." He sniffed and Baek-Hyun handed him a hanky.


    "Well, it''s likely that after what I did, you decided to forget about me but to the extent where you can''t remember me at all? I guess I really did hurt you." He smiled bitterly.


    "What did you do?" Hae-won asked, sincerely wanting to find out and Baek-Hyun looked up at him.


    "I crossed the line, Hyung." He suddenly took his hand and rested his face on it. "I did something really bad to Hyung and it truly hurt you."


    Seeing Baek-Hyun like this, Hae-won suddenly sobered up.


    ''Did he just call me Hyung?'' He thought and blushed.


    It was true that he was older than him by a year but to the extent that he''d call him Hyung? They weren''t even that close. But according to how he was acting, it was evident that they knew each other a long time ago.


    "Are you sober?" Baek-Hyun asked and Hae-won nodded.


    "You, who are you?" Hae-won asked but it sounded stupid so he changed the question. "I don''t remember much of my past up till last year because I had an accident and it made me forget a lot of things." He inched closer. "So tell me, were you and I acquainted in the past?"


    ''He got into an accident.'' Baek-Hyun repeated in his mind. So that was why he didn''t recognize him. He lowered his head and laughed.


    It was alright. If he couldn''t remember the past, it was okay. Thay could just remake their memories but only the good ones and leave the bad ones behind. He wouldn''t have to remember what happened that night.


    Baek-Hyun looked up and met Hae-won''s expectant eyes and he said,


    "You and I, we were middle school and high school classmates and we were also best friends." He said and Hae-won''s eyes shot wide in disbelief.


    "For real? So you and I were like, super close?" Baek-Hyun nodded.


    "But we weren''t just close, we weren''t just best friends either, we had a special connection." He interlocked their fingers together. "We were never away from each other."


    Hae-won looked at their hands in the interlocked formation. Something about it felt unclear. If they indeed were as close as he claimed, why did their connection break? Why did they lose contact for so long?


    Did something happen between them that had to result in that? If not, why did he leave his best friend, whom he claimed to have a special connection with, to struggle till his bones would fall. It didn''t make sense.


    Was it the fate of a Beta to never have a lasting relationship with an Alpha?


    "So Hyung," Baek-Hyun called, holding up his hand to his mouth. "... Can we start over? I want it to be how it used to."


    ''What exactly does he mean by that? It doesn''t sound as simple as he says!'' Hae-won thought, biting down on his bottom lip.


    "You''ll hurt yourself." Baek-Hyun said, referring to his lip he was biting hard on.


    Hae-won felt cringe. What was this? Just yesterday, Baek-Hyun treated him like he was a stone wall that kept blocking his way but now, he was being so caring and attentive. It was hard to believe a person could change so fast.


    "Baek-Hyun, are you messing with me?" He asked and Baek-Hyun stared for a while before letting out a sigh.


    "Sorry. My actions so far are the reason you''re doubting my words now, aren''t they?" Hae-won didn''t respond. "Well, we''ll stop here for today." He said and started getting up. "I''m sorry that you felt humiliated by what I did. I truly am."


    Hae-won watched as he left to his room and he looked down at his hand. Baek-Hyun just kissed his hand. What in the world was going on?


    Hae-won has one hell of a connection with Alphas. Is there any other Alpha out there he had to look out for? Someone might just walk up to him and say they know him yet he''d have no recollection of it.


    "But why can''t I remember a thing concerning Baek-Hyun?" Hae-won asked himself.


    He was able to remember Woo-Bin so why couldn''t he remember Baek-Hyun? This just made him doubt his words more but would a man suddenly start spouting lies like that? What would he gain?


    ''Maybe Hae-won is intentionally shutting away the memories of Baek-Hyun.''


    He opened up another can of beer and gulped it down. It was exhausting to think about things. He should just drink it all away.


    The next morning, Hae-won woke up with dark eye bags, a splitting headache and a troubled mind.


    "What did I do?"

 Chapter 21: Woo-Bin, you’re back?

    Chapter 21: Woo-Bin, you''re back?Hae-won''s memory about the previous night was a bit foggy but he could somehow recall an image of Baek-Hyun calling him ''Hyung''.


    "That must''ve been a dream." He concluded and proceeded to brush his teeth and then, took a bath. But his head kept vibrating due to the ache. "I should probably make myself an hangover soup."


    Getting out of his room, he immediately came face to face with Baek-Hyun and another memory hit him. It was the scene of Baek-Hyun kissing his hand. He blushed.


    "Good ... " before Baek-Hyun could greet him, he ran back to his room and slammed the door shut.


    ''What was that? How did that happen?''


    He let out a breath and calmed himself down. No matter what, he couldn''t believe the things he was remembering. Baek-Hyun would never be so gentle and caring. He had no reason to be.


    He slowly opened his door and walked out but Baek-Hyun wasn''t in sight. Seeing this, he let out a sigh of relief, only to be nudged on the cheek by a canned soda.


    "For your hangover." Baek-Hyun said and he screamed in fright.


    "Ah!" He stepped back and almost fell but Baek-Hyun caught him.


    "Hey, are you okay?" He asked but Hae-won kept looking away.


    "Um, ye... yeah. I''m okay." He said and tried to get out of Baek-Hyun''s hold but he held on tightly. "Can... Can you let go? I... I need to... "


    "Why are you still avoiding me?" Baek-Hyun suddenly asked.


    "What? I''m not avoiding you." Hae-won said while avoiding his gaze. It was very evident that he was avoiding him.


    "Hyung." Baek-Hyun called and Hae-won froze. He turned to him.


    "What did you say?"


    "I called you Hyung. We said we''d start over, didn''t we?"


    Hae-won blinked in disbelief. So it wasn''t his imagination?


    "Wait, hold on a sec. I think my head is spinning." He said but Baek-Hyun still didn''t let go.


    "All the more reason I should hold on to you. What if you fall?"


    Hae-won was confused. His so-called imagination really did happen and Baek-Hyun was acting nice. Too nice in fact.


    ''What is going on?'' he thought, staring into Baek-Hyun''s eyes. They were filled with affection for him? When did that happen?


    "Hyung, I... "


    Just then, the door opened and Woo-Bin walked in. Seeing this scene, he asked with a smirk,


    "How fast did you two develop while I was away?" They both turned to him.


    "Woo-Bin?" He was smirking in a knowing way and Hae-won rushed out of Baek-Hyun''s arms.


    Baek-Hyun saw this and looked down at his hand. He was always trying to get away from him. Maybe he should''ve said those things when he was in a clear state of mind. That way, he wouldn''t forget.


    "Woo-Bin, you''re back?" Hae-won asked, awkwardly rubbing his bare arm.


    "As you can see." Woo-Bin said and glanced over at Baek-Hyun. The two were acting distant. Did nothing happen?


    "How come you came back so early and why didn''t you call? I would''ve picked you up at the airport." Baek-Hyun asked, walking towards him.


    "Oh well, the shoot ended earlier and I wanted to surprise you." Woo-Bin responded and flew towards Hae-won, who was just trying to escape any unnecessary questions. "Got you!" He hugged Hae-won and rubbed their cheeks together.


    "Hey."


    "What? Were you planning to sneak away without giving me a proper greeting?"


    "That''s not it. I... " he couldn''t come up with any excuse and he couldn''t look him in the eye either. Not after receiving ''that'' as a gift from him.


    "Well, that doesn''t matter now. I missed Sun-bae''s cooking and I''m hungry." He said.


    "You haven''t had breakfast yet?" Hae-won asked, finally looking at his face.


    "Nope. I wanted to come back as fast as I could so that I wouldn''t miss having breakfast with you."


    "Oh but I haven''t cooked anything yet." S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Oh?" He glanced over to the kitchen. "That''s unusual. I could''ve sworn you would''ve cooked by now."


    "Well, I drank too much last night and woke up with a serious hangover so I haven''t been able to do anything this morning." Woo-Bin saw the canned soda in Baek-Hyun''s hand and quickly understood what that was for. "Sorry."


    "Uh?" He looked at Hae-won. "Why are you apologising? I didn''t say that to make you apologise." He said and shook his head. "Well, since Sun-bae isn''t feeling too well. I don''t want to pressure you. Let''s eat out instead."


    "I''m already feeling better though. I can just cook a simple breakfast. It''s not a problem." He said and Woo-Bin stared at him.


    Baek-Hyun, who had been silent the whole time, stared at these two that were glued by the hip and he couldn''t help but furrow his eyebrows. Honestly, he didn''t know what was wrong with him.


    He knew he didn''t like them getting too close but he also didn''t know the exact reason. Was it because of Hae-won or Woo-Bin? They both had one role in his life and an important meaning and if he was asked to choose then... Who would he choose?


    He leaned on the wall and watched as they interacted and talked. Hae-won wasn''t all that stiff while talking to Woo-Bin, compared to how he used to act with him and Woo-Bin, he was always making body contact with Hae-won, like he didn''t want them to be apart or something.


    In conclusion, their bond was strong and the skinship between them was excess.


    ''This much skinship, I shouldn''t be jealous because Woo-Bin and I share as much skinship. But for Hyung... '' he frowned.


    Hae-won went to the fridge, hoping to whip up some bacon and eggs but he discovered the fridge was empty. When last did he go grocery shopping?


    "What''s wrong, Sun-bae?" Woo-Bin asked and he turned to him.


    "Well, we''re out of food supplies." He said.


    "Ah, that''s great. We can go out to eat and after that, we''ll go shopping. How''s that?" He suggested with a hearty smile but Hae-won shook his head.


    "We can''t do that. You just got off the plane and your week was hectic. I wouldn''t want to bother a guy who''s supposed to be resting." He said.


    "Awn, my Sun-bae is as considerate as ever." He lightly bumped their heads together. "But don''t worry about me, I usually don''t get jet lagged and I rested plenty on the plane so, let''s go out to eat."


    "What if you get recognized?"


    "My fans probably think I''m still at Jeju island since the end of the shoot hasn''t been announced yet." He said and looked down at his honest worried expression. "Seriously, Sun-bae, you worry too much. But I also like that about you so keep worrying about me." He snickered and rubbed his head.


    Baek-Hyun cleared his throat and they both turned to him.


    He didn''t appreciate that they were having this conversation without him but he was not that petty to get angry over it.


    "Let''s just go out to eat." He said.

 Chapter 22: We shouldn’t make him feel inferior.

    Chapter 22: We shouldn''t make him feel inferior.Hae-won prepared to go out and came out of his room, only to find Woo-Bin pinned to a corner and Baek-Hyun in front of him. He couldn''t see what they were doing but the little moans he heard made it clear that they were kissing.


    ''Seriously, what is the relationship between these two?'' he thought.


    He felt it would be too embarrassing to just walk up to them and interrupt them, so he decided to wait till they were done.


    "Ah, Sun-bae, you''re done?" Woo-Bin asked and he nodded. He looked past Woo-Bin and met eyes with Baek-Hyun but as soon as their eyes met, he looked away.


    "Anyway, where do you want to eat?" He asked, trying not to recall what he just saw.


    "Let''s go to this new restaurant I found online. It... "


    Woo-Bin kept talking with his arms around Hae-won''s neck and showed him the restaurant''s reviews but Hae-won felt it was such an expensive restaurant.


    "Don''t worry about the bill. I''ll pay and if I don''t, I''m sure Baek-Hyun will be more than happy to pay." He laughed.


    This comment, it didn''t assure Hae-won at all. Rather, it just made feel inferior compared to them. Woo-Bin might not have meant that when he was saying it but this was how it made him feel.


    At the end of the day, he was just a tiny beta who couldn''t even afford his own house rent.


    Woo-Bin saw his sudden sad countenance and felt it was strange. Why did he suddenly become sad?


    "Sun-bae?" He called and Hae-won looked up. "What''s the matter?"


    "Uh, it''s nothing." He said and got out of his grasp. "You guys go down ahead, I think I forgot something." He turned but bumped into Baek-Hyun. "Sorry." He apologised without raising his head and ran back to the house.


    Baek-Hyun watched as he ran back and turned to Woo-Bin.


    "Did I say something to upset him?" Woo-Bin asked, looking concerned.


    "It''s not something you said intentionally." Baek-Hyun said. "You keep forgetting he''s a beta, don''t you?"


    "I do but..." he quickly caught on to it and exclaimed softly. "Oh!"


    "We shouldn''t make him feel inferior." Baek-Hyun said. "I think the restaurant you chose made him feel uncomfortable."


    "I''ll change it right now." He took out his phone and cancelled the reservation.


    Baek-Hyun watched him and gave out a sigh. This guy, he was acting so concerned about Hae-won but he sent that thing to him. Why?


    "Why did you send that?" Baek-Hyun suddenly asked and he looked up from his phone.


    "What?"


    "That ''thing''. Why did you send it?" Baek-Hyun asked, once more.


    "What ''thing''?" Woo-Bin asked, acting oblivious but he truly was oblivious.


    "That dildo. Why did you send Hyung a freaking dildo?" He burst out, which surprised Woo-Bin but what surprised him more was that he said ''Hyung'' and ''dildo'' in the same sentence so he laughed.


    "Oh my, what a strong reaction?" He laughed.


    "This isn''t funny." Baek-Hyun said and he nodded.


    "Yeah. And I get that you guys didn''t use it."


    "Why would we?" He barked at him. "Anyway, why did you send it? You just made him feel uncomfortable."


    "You two, aren''t you guys going to develop from this stage?" Woo-Bin asked. "You like him, I know that so I wanted you guys to make some progress while I was away but there''s nothing. If anything, you''re more distant."


    "That''s for me to worry about." Baek-Hyun said and tucked his hands in his coat pocket. "Your methods are too far-fetched. You''ll scare him."


    "I''m hurt. I only have you guys happiness in mind, especially my Sun-bae''s." Woo-Bin said with one eye closed and a sinister look.


    "You just want to use this opportunity to test out your wild fantasies." Baek-Hyun said.


    "My, I''d never do anything to hurt my Sun-bae but you know... " he placed a hand on Baek-Hyun''s shoulder and leaned in. "It''s not just my fantasies I''m trying to realise." He grinned and moved away.


    Baek-Hyun threw his face aside. Woo-Bin always had a way with his words.


    "Be honest, how many times did you go to my room to jerk off while thinking about your ''Hyung'' in a sexy position?" Baek-Hyun''s eyes widened.


    "You... how did you...?"


    "How did I know? Duh, it''s because I have a nose! Your pheromones are all over my room. Plus, my room''s the closest room to Sun-bae''s so I''m sure you were fantasising about ramming your dick into his hole while hoping he''d hear your lewd moans and..."


    "Enough!" Baek-Hyun shut him up with a completely red face.


    "Why? Are you embarrassed that I know all your thoughts?" Woo-Bin asked with a snicker.


    "Just stop it. If Hyung hears you, he''ll misunderstand."


    "Are you talking about me?" Hae-won asked, walking towards them.


    Baek-Hyun''s eyes widened and he started feeling anxious.


    ''Did he hear us just now?'' he thought and looked at Woo-Bin who held a sinister smile.


    "Sun-bae, did you get what you forgot?" Woo-Bin vigorously asked and he nodded.


    "Yeah. I forgot to pick my phone from the table." He said. "Were you guys talking about me just now? My ear felt itchy for some reason."


    "It must be the cold weather." Woo-Bin said, placing his hand on his shoulder. "So, I decided to change the restaurant. The last one seemed to be full so we''ll go here." He showed him another restaurant which was not too pricey and not too ordinary either. But it was a relief.


    "Yeah, this will work fine." Hae-won said.


    Woo-Bin went ahead to enter the car and Hae-won opened the back door but Baek-Hyun stopped him, grabbing onto his hand.


    "Hey, are you okay?" He asked but Hae-won felt confused.


    "Uh, I''m fine. Is there a reason not to be?" He responded and Baek-Hyun shook his head.


    "It''s nothing." He said. "Sorry of I make you uncomfortable." He added and walked to the other side of the car to enter the driver''s seat but Hae-won couldn''t understand what he was talking about and just stood there, lost.


    "What?"


    They got to the restaurant and though Hae-won felt a bit uncomfortable, he was able to adjust thanks to Woo-Bin, frequently joking about one thing or the other.


    Even Baek-Hyun was actively talking and they were bringing up things that he could join in on. Their conversation was enjoyable and completely normal.


    They finished eating breakfast and went grocery shopping. Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Woo-Bin wore a hat and nose mask to avoid people noticing him and ruining their time. Plus, he didn''t want anything that would make Hae-won uncomfortable.


    "Look at this, Sun-bae." Woo-Bin called out, holding up a packet.


    Hae-won and Baek-Hyun both looked up.


    "I remember you liked this cereal a lot while we were in school." He said.

 Chapter 23: Why am I a bunny?

    Chapter 23: Why am I a bunny?"Oh yeah, I did like it." Hae-won took the cereal from him and smiled. "It was the only thing I didn''t have a problem eating then."


    "The only thing? Did you have a problem eating?" Baek-Hyun asked.


    "Well... "


    "Sun-bae frequently had indigestion so he couldn''t eat and digest his food properly. He got lean cause he threw up a lot. It was like that till he finally found this cereal."


    "Yeah, that happened." Hae-won thought about it. This felt so natural to him. He didn''t have to think about it before remembering it. ''I think my memories are getting replaced with Hae-won''s.''


    "How did such a thing happen? Were you critically ill?" Baek-Hyun asked with concern in his eyes. "I remember you weren''t really strong in health but to that point?"


    "I''m fine now. Really!" Hae-won said and looked over his shoulders. "It''s all in the past. I got past that ailment and I don''t easily get sick these days either, so it''s nothing to worry about."


    Though he said this, the two Alphas couldn''t help but feel a burden in his voice. Was he hiding something?


    "Okay, let''s look past that." Woo-Bin said, trying to lighten the sour mood. "Our Sun-bae is very healthy and he''ll stay that way."


    "Yeah, I am healthy." He looked away. "Let''s go over there. There''s a discount price for eggs."


    "I don''t need to buy things on discount though." Woo-Bin said.


    "Just because you have money, it doesn''t mean you should throw it all away." Hae-won said. "Let''s get things at a discounted price."


    Baek-Hyun stood still and watched as they rolled the cart towards the other end of the store.


    Seeing them together, he didn''t like it. It seems they got along well without him and there was no space for him there but he wanted it to work. He wanted to be a part of his word.


    "Let''s get more over there." Baek-Hyun suggested and Hae-won nodded.


    "You see, that''s the spirit." Woo-Bin complimented but Baek-Hyun simply fixed his eyes on Hae-won. ''Hm, I''m kinda jealous.''


    The shopping even went smoothly without anyone recognizing Woo-Bin and no distraction from any corner.


    Just as the receptionist started scanning the price of the things bought, Baek-Hyun quickly remembered something and rushed back.


    "Where is he going?" Hae-won asked but Woo-Bin shrugged with no clue.


    Baek-Hyun returned shortly and dropped three boxes of extra large condoms.


    Hae-won and Woo-Bin''s eyes popped out seeing this and they looked at Baek-Hyun, who was trying not to meet their gaze.


    Even the receptionist had his eyes popped out.


    An embarrassed Baek-Hyun saw this and snapped.


    "What? It''s safe." He felt embarrassed that Hae-won was there and nothing else. Though he knew he would misunderstand his intentions since he and Woo-Bin did it often but he didn''t bother to explain.


    He was scared that if he tried to explain, it would only make Hae-won misunderstand more.


    Hae-won turned to Woo-Bin and smiled in a pitiful way.


    "It must be hard. Hang in there." He said and a confused Woo-Bin stared. But then, he figured what was in his mind and started laughing.


    "It''s not for me, Sun-bae." He said.


    "Then... ?"


    Woo-Bin beaconed him to move closer to him and he did. He leaned in and whispered to his hearing alone. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "It''s not for me because I actually enjoy doing it raw. We don''t use that." He said and Hae-won''s head exploded, his face turning into a red tomato.


    "That''s... what?" He missed his words and Woo-Bin laughed.


    Baek-Hyun, having no idea of what Woo-Bin said, felt they were teasing him.


    But the person who felt more clueless about all this was the receptionist.


    ''I want to go home,'' he thought.


    After loading the truck with the groceries, the trio felt it would be a waste to just go back home so they went to the amusement park and there,they had lots of fun.


    Hae-won didn''t feel uncomfortable in their presence and laughed all day long. It was a nice thing seeing him laugh and the two Alphas felt it was worth it taking him to the amusement park.


    "It''s so crowded and lively." Hae-won exclaimed. "It''s been years since I last visited the amusement park."


    "Me too." Baek-Hyun responded and Woo-Bin caught sight of a booth selling different kinds of hats and animal ear headbands.


    "Hey, let''s get one of those each." He suggested, dragging Hae-won by the hand and Baek-Hyun followed. "How''s this?"


    Hae-won was given a headband with bunny ears while Baek-Hyun was given wolf ears and Woo-Bin wore fox ears.


    "I feel this compliments our nature, haha!" He laughed but Hae-won only felt something odd about it.


    "Why am I a bunny?" He asked.


    "Because you''re so cute and innocent." Baek-Hyun suddenly said and they both turned to him.


    "You''re right on point." Woo-Bin said with a thumbs up.


    "Am I that innocent? I don''t think so? You must think it''s because I''m small while you''re both so tall. That''s not fair." Hae-won said and pouted.


    This stunned them. A pouting Hae-won also looked cute and thus, they smiled.


    "See? I said he was cute."


    Thanks to Hae-won originally being a girl in his last life, he didn''t feel offended when called cute. In this world, male Betas acted like real men and they didn''t appreciate the word cute since it was clearly looking down on them and their male capacity.


    However, Omega males didn''t have a problem with that either since they were made to be cute and beautiful in order to look appealing to Alphas.


    "Let''s play a game." Baek-Hyun suggested and Hae-won looked around. His eyes fell on a booth that had a lot of stuffed animals as prizes.


    "Let''s play that one!"


    It was a shooting game and Hae-won asnt really good at shooting so he couldn''t get a single prize.


    "I''m dead." He sulked.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll get one for you. I''m an Alpha afterall." Woo-Bin boasted but he too didn''t get any. He failed miserably.


    "Wow, way to go, Alpha." Hae-won clapped with a mocking smile.


    "Hey you, you''re rigging this, aren''t you?" Woo-Bin accused the Booth owner who just shrugged with a smug face while counting the money he just made.


    "Let''s just leave it. We shouldn''t waste time trying to get a toy we can get with our own money." Hae-won said but Woo-Bin hadn''t given up yet. He saw how Hae-won looked at the big blue dolphin.


    "Baek-Hyun Ah, get one for us." Woo-Bin pleaded, grabbing onto his arm.


    "I don''t want to play these childish and crooked games." He said.


    "Why are you so confident he can get one?" Hae-won asked.


    "Because he''s a pro." Woo-Bin responded with beaming eyes.


    "Really? Then, do you really not want to play? It would be great to rub off that smug look on the booth owner''s face." He said and smiled.


    Baek-Hyun''s mind went blank for a moment and then he nodded.


    "Which one do you want?"

 Chapter 24: I’m just curious.

    Chapter 24: I''m just curious.They ended up ripping off a dozen toys from the booth and left the owner weeping.


    "Wow, that was incredible. I didn''t think you were so awesome with games." Hae-won complimented.


    ''He called me awesome.'' Baek-Hyun thought and secretly gloated. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "So, what are we going to do with all these toys?" Woo-Bin asked.


    "He''s keeping them all." Baek-Hyun said almost to the point of growling.


    "Haha, that''s nice but I think it will be too much of a hassle to keep carrying these around." Hae-won said but Baek-Hyun suddenly took all of them.


    "It''s not a hassle at all. I''ll just find a place to keep them till we''re ready to leave." He rushed off to find a place.


    Hae-won watched him and couldn''t help but wonder.


    ''Was he always this attentive and active?'' He was acting with care and it made Hae-won feel that something was off.


    "So, do you want ice cream?" Woo-Bin asked, pointing at the Booth selling ice cream and he nodded.


    Once Baek-Hyun returned, Hae-won gave him a new scoop which made him blush but he did well to hide the excitement.


    Hae-won announced that he wanted to ride the Ferris wheel. It would be his first time both in his previous and present life.


    Though Baek-Hyun wanted to be the one to ride with him and share this first experience, Woo-Bin beat him to it.


    "Is this really okay?" Hae-won asked, seeing Baek-Hyun growl at them from the queue.


    "It''s fine." Woo-Bin said with a little chuckle. "This is your first time riding so, be sure to savour the moment."


    Hae-won looked out the window as the wheel started spinning. It was still day time so the view wouldn''t be as mind-blowing as it would be in the night. But he prefers it this way. He needed to go to the restaurant and tell them he was quitting later.


    There was no way he''d work there for another day. He''d burst because of the customers.


    ''I''ll just stick to writing till I can tell where Hae-won left his graduation certificates,'' he thought.


    There were a few fun games that suddenly caught his eyes.


    "After this, let''s play a few more games." He said. "I hope they''re not all rigged, haha." He chuckled and turned to see a silent Woo-Bin staring intently at him. He had already taken off his nose mask and his hat.


    He looked so charming and it was very evident he was a celebrity. There was no way they could walk around with him having such a face. Baek-Hyun was already drawing a lot of attention and if he was included then, they would drown in the eyes of the crowd.


    "What?" Hae-won asked.


    "I''m just curious." He said. "At times, you come off as an Omega but you''re clearly a Beta. It''s almost as if you''re both Beta and Omega."


    "Yeah, I get that a lot." Hae-won responded and sat properly. "Anyway, about that ''thing'' you sent me."


    "You mean the dildo?" Woo-Bin asked with no shame and Hae-won nodded with a little flush on his cheek.


    "Yeah, the dil... the dildo. Why did you send it to me?" He asked.


    "Well, I thought you''d need it but I didn''t think you''d show it to him. You were quite bold, haha."


    "I showed it to him thinking you originally sent it to him and were just messing with me. I got confused and thought he was the... bottom." He lowered his head as he muttered that last part but Woo-Bin heard it clearly and started laughing.


    "Oh my, that''s such an impossible feat." He laughed. "But I did try to top him once but that didn''t go so well. Haha."


    ''I feel like I shouldn''t hear this.'' Hae-won thought, feeling uncomfortable. "But that''s not it. You said I''d need it but I don''t see why. Even if you two aren''t dating and are just sex partners, I don''t see why you''d want me to do that as well. I... do I look desperate that I''d want to do that?" His eyes became teary, surprising Woo-Bin.


    "Oh no, it''s not like that." He said and thought for a while. "I''m sorry. It seems I hurt your feelings." He said and got up and attempted to move towards his side.


    The cabin rocked a bit but balanced once he sat down. He took his hand.


    "I didn''t mean it like that." He said. "Honestly, Sun-bae, I should''ve asked how you felt about it before teasing you like that. I''m sorry."


    "Woo-Bin, don''t you like Baek-Hyun?" Hae-won asked.


    "I do but not to the extent that you''re thinking of." He said.


    "Then?"


    "It''s his pheromones. God, his pheromones drive me crazy. I never knew an Alpha''s scent would make me like that. I''ve never met anyone who gives out such a suffocating yet seductive scent. It''s the reason why I''m hooking up with him. Originally, I''m not a bottom." He smiled, knowingly.


    Hae-won fell silent for a while. Baek-Hyun''s scent was indeed suffocating but seductive? He hadn''t felt that in his scent before.


    "Woo-Bin, did you consider that Baek-Hyun might have feelings for you?" He asked and Woo-Bin fell silent.


    "Well, even if he did, I doubt it''d be as strong as what he feels for you."


    "Me?"


    "Baek-Hyun told me what he did to you in the past. I think it was just a few days after you started living with us and honestly I felt sorry for you but I also felt sorry for him. He didn''t relay his feelings properly and that led to what happened. You... "


    "What are you talking about?" Hae-won asked, cutting him short. He had no single clue as to what Woo-Bin was talking about.


    "Eh... you don''t remember that?"


    "Remember what?"


    "You don''t remember that you and Baek-Hyun used to go to the same highschool and the incident that happened at your graduation party?" He asked but Hae-won still had no idea and looked at him confused. "Oh my, this must really hurt. Does Baek-Hyun know you don''t remember?"


    "I think so. I remember him saying something like we used to attend middle school and highschool together and that we were best friends but I don''t really remember it." He shook his head.


    "That explains why you didn''t expect anything to happen between you two while I was away. You two really had a deep connection before that incident. At least, that''s what Baek-Hyun said."


    All this information started spinning in Hae-won''s head. He couldn''t make sense to it and it was confusing.


    Baek-Hyun had feelings for him and it had been like that since highschool?


    There was something bad that happened between them? Was that why they lost connection with each other?


    "Let''s look past that." He said, shaking his head. "Then, you, are you sure you don''t like Baek-Hyun; that you don''t like anything else but his pheromones?"


    "I like sex with him."


    "You don''t like him as a person?" Woo-Bin fell silent. How was he going to spill it out to him in a way he''d be completely convinced?


    He got it.


    He drew closer to him till their faces were inches apart and said,


    "If I did, would I be able to do this with you?" With that, he leaned in and kissed him.


    Hae-won was beyond shocked and he couldn''t even react to it.
