Lee Young-jin hurriedly lowered his head.
Then a knock was heard outside. Seo Seung-hyun leisurely replied.
“Come in.”
The door opened without a sound, and a bodyguard in black suit pants and a white shirt reappeared holding a wide square tray. In the morning, it was this inflated balloon man who took Lee Young-jin to the computer room. Lee Young-jin looked up at the appearance of a familiar face. Apparently, this expressionless alpha was in charge of not only security and guarding prisoners, but also side tasks. When Lee Young-jin guessed so, Seo Seung-hyun frowned and asked.
“I heard Assistant Manager Park is coming, so why are you coming?”
“Assistant Manager Park asked me.”
“What is he doing?”
“…he said he’s busy with a lot of work.”
“Aha.”
Seo Seung-hyun smiled. But he didn’t say anything more, just shrugged his shoulders.
The bodyguard holding the square tray put the tray down on the low table with an expressionless face. Blackberry and currant studded scones, Chinese dumplings, sandwiches cut into bite-sized pieces, and about three bottles of different juices each.
“You weren’t expecting an eighteen course dinner, were you?”
Seo Seung-hyun suddenly spoke to Lee Young-jin, who was fidgeting with his fingers, as if he was uncomfortable at this awkward dining table. Lee Young-jin merely raised his eyes and looked at Seo Seung-hyun, then shook his head modestly. But he still didn’t reach for the food hastily.
“There’s no poison.”
At those words, Lee Young-jin suddenly raised his head.
“Of course, no truth serum either.”
Seo Seung-hyun laughed softly and continued.
“So just eat.”
“I didn’t think of that.”
Lee Young-jin replied in a small voice. It wasn’t a very appealing tone. Instead of answering, Seo Seung-hyun pushed the sandwich plate with the back of his hand. Lee Young-jin hesitantly looked down at the plate that had been pushed in front of him, then finally reached out his white fingers to pick up a small piece of sandwich. It was a sandwich with smoked salmon and cucumber sandwiched between two dense rye bread with herb infused cream cheese.
It was modest for a meal, but enough to satisfy the hunger.
Lee Young-jin ate like himself.
He bit into his sandwich with his tiny lips and crumbled the scone into his mouth. In the meantime, he didn’t forget to glance at Seo Seung-hyun.
He ate slowly and ate little.
It was an unusual amount of food.
There are notable differences in many aspects between Homo sapiens sapiens, the representative subspecies of modern humans, and its mutant species, Homo sapiens mutetorius. In the case of the dysmorphic species, the structure, weight, and proportion of the muscle fibers that made up the muscles, as well as the ratio of bone density and bone quality, were different from those of the general species. Therefore, they basically require a huge amount of calories to maintain their body.
Of course, that’s the case for a normal extraordinary species.
In cases where the body is damaged by an accident or drugs, or when a person was sick and received radiation treatment such as chemotherapy, there were often cases in which they don’t function properly as an extraordinary species.
Which side was Lee Young-jin?
Seo Seung-hyun looked at Lee Young-jin with a strange gaze.
Lee Young-jin trembled as if he couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable at the straight eyes that had no intention of hiding.
“Um…”
Then he finally spoke first.
After calling out first, the tongue finally made a sound after repeatedly opening and closing the mouth three or four times. He spat out each word in a slow, low-pitched tone, hesitantly.
“Thank you.”
“For what?”
When Seo Seung-hyun asked, Lee Young-jin slightly folded the corner of his left eye, which had a teardrop mole, and glanced at him.
“For freeing my colleagues…”
Seo Seung-hyun laughed as if he was stunned.
“That was the condition of the deal.”
“Indeed. But even so, thank you.”
Lee Young-jin hurriedly finished his words and put the last small piece of the sandwich he was holding into his mouth. He could see his cheeks twitching. Seo Seung-hyun stared at the corner of his mouth, remembering how he had sucked his penis with such force that his skinny cheeks became thin.
“What is it that you need help with?”
Lee Young-jin asked again.
Every time he spoke, his plump lips twitched.
Seo Seung-hyun leaned his elbows on the armrests and looked at Lee Young-jin with his chin resting on the back of his hand.
Actually, he was thinking of pampering Lee Young-jin instead of that stupid tomato head. But did he really need to do that? Should talented people who are valuable in many ways be tied only to one job? Even when he knew there’s one more thing those lips and hands are good at?
“There are a few things…”
Seo Seung-hyun crossed his legs in the opposite direction and smiled.
“Come over here for a moment.”
Lee Young-jin opened his mouth stupidly and looked at him. Seo Seung-hyun didn’t rush and waited patiently. A few seconds, close to a minute, passed. Lee Young-jin barely lifted his butt off the chair. The sound of footsteps coming closer and closer around the not-tall, flat table. Two feet stopped in front of Seo Seung-hyun. A pair of black eyes quietly looked down at Seo Seung-hyun.
Lee Young-jin smelled good.
Despite always thinking that expressing omega’s sex pheromone through smell was an endemic evil habit of alphas, Seo Seung-hyun couldn’t find a way to express the damp pheromone that was stimulating him at this moment other than smell.
Seo Seung-hyun met Lee Young-jin’s gaze and softly opened his mouth.
“I don’t know the price for this. So give me your price.”
Instead of answering, Lee Young-jin blinked his eyes.
Every time the heavy eyelids fluttered up and down with those dense eyelashes, shadows rose and fell on both cheeks.
Lee Young-jin, who had been mesmerized with dazed eyes for a long time, moved slowly at some point.
“Ah…”
It seemed that he finally realized the intention of Seo Seung-hyun’s proposal.
“That’s…”
Since he didn’t readily came up with a price, Seo Seung-hyun added a kind explanation to help him choose.
“I’ll unconditionally pay ten times what you’re thinking.”
It seemed that this omega, who seemed accustomed to wandering around, would never say the right amount, so this was Seo Seung-hyun’s pure kindness.
Despite the kind explanation, Lee Young-jin, who had been fiddling with his fingers for a long time, finally opened his mouth.
“You don’t have to give me any money.”
Seo Seung-hyun looked at him, wondering if he was going to say, “I don’t sell my body.” Lee Young-jin hesitated for a moment before continuing.
“Something other than money…”
“A favor?”
However, Lee Young-jin shook his head. And after hesitating for a long time, he barely opened his mouth.
“No. Instead, after that, that, let me sleep in the same bed until morning. Then you don’t have to pay.”
He hadn’t blinked when asking for a sex tape, so he shouldn’t be ashamed to ask for that.
“You want me to sleep in the same bed?”
When asked again to confirm, Lee Young-jin nodded his head. His cheeks and ears were burning red, even the nape of his neck. It seemed that the embarrassing part was not “that” part, but the part asking him to sleep in the bed.
Seo Seung-hyun looked at his flushed skin under his drooping eyelids.
To sleep in the same bed.
Rather than a transaction…this is more like between lovers…
At that moment, he jumped up from his seat. The dark crown of his head shot upward, and Lee Young-jin flinched back at the thick ribcage that suddenly filled his field of vision. However, as Seo Seung-hyun took a step forward and Lee Young-jin withdrew, the gap narrowed again.
Seo Seung-hyun looked down at Lee Young-jin.
The corners of his long eyes curled slightly, and a soft eye smile waved.
He reached out his hand and gently caressed Lee Young-jin’s cheek and chin. His hard fingers traced the cheek line with surprising tenderness, before groping the lower lip.
“That’s not like an arrangement, but more like a favor between lovers.”
Seo Seung-hyun whispered in a low, sweet voice.
“Then it would be right for me to treat you that way as well.”
After that, he tilted his head slightly and looked down into Lee Young-jin’s eyes before kissing him. It was so sweet that Lee Young-jin was surprised, his shoulders trembling. His lips, which were soft and moist, slipped away from him, and Seo Seung-hyun looked at Lee Young-jin with thin gray eyes.
“If you change your mind, tell me anytime. Don’t forget to talk about the unconditional tenfold option.”
At the end of the laughing whisper, their lips collided softly again.
“Ah…”
Lee Young-jin groaned and closed his eyes.
