Cherry Cake Chapter 12.1

Yellow, white, red, purple, pink—the colorful petals were truly beautiful. Seo Soohyun admired the flower petals soaking in cold water, then picked them up one by one and placed them on a paper towel. It was important to thoroughly dry them since they would soon be touching hot oil.

“I’m not sure if I can do this… but I have to try.”

He had just sifted glutinous rice flour into a clear bowl. He pushed his sleeves up to his elbows and carefully poured in some hot water before starting to knead the dough. He planned to make hwajeon (flower pancakes) today.

Just yesterday, he had found edible flowers at the grocery store. He knew edible flowers existed, but he had never actually tried them, so he was curious and immediately put them in his cart.

‘What are you going to use those for? To decorate your body?’

What did his body have to do with ingredients? For a moment, he was puzzled, but since the words came from Gi Taeyeon, he assumed it was another one of his strange comments and ignored the rest.

‘They’re pretty. And interesting. I’ve picked azaleas and sucked the nectar before, but I’ve never eaten flower petals. I’ll think about what to do with them when I get home.’

He tended to buy ingredients impulsively, but these days, being with Gi Taeyeon made him even more prone to buying whatever caught his eye. He supposed it was because he was more excited when he was with him.

While pondering what to make with the edible flowers, Soohyun decided on hwajeon. He suddenly remembered Gi Taeyeon mentioning something about tteok (rice cakes) before. Of course, he now knew that the tteok Gi Taeyeon meant wasn’t a literal rice cake, but he looked up recipes and it seemed simple enough to make, so he decided to give it a try.

‘Since this is glutinous rice flour, isn’t it technically not hwajeon? I think hwajeon is made with non-glutinous rice flour. But it’s still a tteok.’

Seo Soohyun kneaded the dough vigorously, adding water. He wasn’t sure if he could call what he was making hwajeon, but since it had flowers, the name wasn’t entirely wrong.

“I hope it tastes similar to the one we had before.”

He was trying to make gireum tteok (oil rice cakes). When he had gone flower viewing with Gi Taeyeon, they had stopped by a market and bought traditional Jeju rice cakes, and he had really enjoyed them. The chewy, sweet taste lingered on his tongue. Since it seemed difficult to buy them again, he thought he might as well try making them while he was at it.

After diligently kneading the dough, Soohyun decided it was ready and turned on the induction stove, adding oil to the frying pan. It was enough oil to fry kkaennip jeon (perilla leaf pancakes). He wasn’t sure, but he heard the key to gireum tteok was frying the glutinous rice dough in oil, so the amount of oil seemed important.

But will this stain the flower petals with oil?

As he pinched off small pieces of dough and rolled them into balls in his palm, he suddenly wondered if he was doing it right. Hwajeon didn’t use this much oil, so he worried that the petals might absorb the oil if he used this much.

Let’s just try.

If it worked, great. Even if it failed, it would still taste good, so it didn’t matter.

After shaping all the dough into balls, Soohyun held his palm over the frying pan to check the heat. Then, he flattened each ball and carefully placed them in the pan, making sure the oil didn’t splatter. He also lowered the heat.

“Since it’s glutinous rice…”

He carefully placed the dried flower petals on the flattened dough, making sure they didn’t stick to each other. They looked quite presentable.

“This would be delicious with cheongha.”

Soohyun murmured and checked the time. He had asked Gi Taeyeon to buy cheongha on his way home from work, so he should be arriving in about twenty minutes. The timing was perfect.

Warm tteok and cheongha…just the thought made his mouth water.

Seo Soohyun hummed a little tune as he looked at the pretty flower-topped rice cakes. He was looking forward to the cheongha, but he was also looking forward to the man coming home from work.

“You really did tteok chitne (have sex).”

The man chuckled, looking at the hwajeon.

“We ate tteok at the market when we went to Jeju Island last time, remember? The gireum tteok. I made these thinking of that.”

“You used the flowers you bought yesterday for this? I told you to decorate your body with them, but you never listen.”

“Why would I put edible flowers on my body? Anyway, I was going to make hwajeon, but I suddenly thought of gireum tteok, so I made gireum tteok and topped them with flowers. It’s a shame that the flowers aren’t very visible because they’re browned from the oil, but I think they turned out prettier than I expected.”

Thanks to the generous sprinkling of sugar, essential for gireum tteok, the white grains sparkled, making them look even prettier.

“Try it.”

Seo Soohyun poked a rice cake with a fork and offered it to Gi Taeyeon.

Replacing a meal with tteok was unthinkable for Soohyun. The hwajeon was just a snack, which was why he was sitting in the living room, not at the dining table. Gi Taeyeon sat next to him and opened his mouth to receive the tteok instead of taking the fork.

“How is it?”

“Not bad.”

Like a grandfather looking after his grandson, Soohyun took Gi Taeyeon’s hand and placed a fork in it, then picked up another fork and took a bite of the tteok. He had tasted a small piece to check if it was cooked through, but he hadn’t eaten a whole one, so he was a little worried. Fortunately, it tasted similar to the ones he had in Jeju Island.

“Delicious. The flowers don’t have much flavor, so I guess they’re just for decoration. You know, there’s a saying, ‘A good-looking tteok tastes good too.’ Or is it ‘easy to eat’?”

He was a little confused.

“Actually, I had a few petals left after making the tteok, so I tried them. But they didn’t taste like anything. If anything, they tasted like grass? I’m not saying they’re tasteless because of the sugar, but it seems they don’t have much flavor on their own. I’m telling you this in case you wonder why the hwajeon doesn’t taste like flowers.”

“Is that so? Drink a lot, too.”

Gi Taeyeon twisted off the cap of the cheongha bottle and poured it into the glasses he had prepared.

Soohyun quickly held out his hands to receive the drink, carefully placed the glass down, and filled Gi Taeyeon’s glass as well. The man didn’t like sweet drinks like cheongha or makgeolli (rice wine), but he usually joined Soohyun for a glass.

“Cheers.”

“You made me buy the alcohol, and now you want me to serve you?”

Gi Taeyeon chuckled and raised his glass. Seo Soohyun clinked his glass, which seemed much smaller than the man’s, against Gi Taeyeon’s and chattered.

“I made hwajeon for you, so you have to serve me drinks in return.”

“Ah, I should serve you well. I’ll serve you in bed, too, Boss.”

It was Gi Taeyeon who was supposed to be “serving” him, but somehow, he felt like he was the one being teased.

It wasn’t the first time Gi Taeyeon had teased him like this, so Seo Soohyun just let it slide and took a sip of his drink. The moderately sweet alcohol went well with the sugar-coated rice cakes.

“What did you do today?”

Gi Taeyeon asked, pulling him closer by the waist. Soohyun wriggled and readily sat on Gi Taeyeon’s lap. At first, he found it a little awkward to be held by the man, but now he had gotten used to it and could comfortably lean against him.

“I went to see Bokshil and stopped by a bakery on my way back to buy croissants. Almond and kaya croissants. And I called my grandmothers and Yiseon to check in…”

He hadn’t stopped by the Hannam-dong house today because he had watered the garden yesterday before grocery shopping with Gi Taeyeon.

“Oh, right. I looked through my photo album for the first time in a long time. I brought it with me the last time we went to my house. I thought I’d be upset if I lost it.”

Seo Soohyun gestured with his eyes as he popped a sugar-coated rice cake into his mouth. The man, who was refilling his empty glass, followed his gaze and reached for the album. Then, without asking for permission, he opened it. Soohyun kept his gaze on the album, ignoring the fact that half of it was resting on his thigh.

“Not just Fuzz—face, but baby Fuzz—face. Your dick has grown a bit since then.”

He flinched slightly at the photo of him as a naked baby on the first page.

“It’s grown a lot, not just a bit.”

It was a picture of him taking a bath in a bathtub.

It was the first time someone had made such a comment while looking at his baby pictures, so he narrowed his eyes, but Gi Taeyeon just smirked. He felt a surge of indignation, but considering the size of the man’s penis, arguing that his own was also big would be ridiculous, so he shifted the blame.

“Yours is abnormally big.”

“Alright, fine. Your hundred-year-old porcelain skin is abnormal, too.”

“…Most omegas have less body hair.”

“Oh, really?”

He clearly wasn’t listening.

“Nice house.”

Gi Taeyeon flipped through the album, making bland observations. He had lived with Seo Jeonggyun, a businessman, in Seoul, so it was natural that the houses in the pictures looked nice. Not only the glimpses of the interior, but the photos taken outside also showed him dressed like a rich kid.

“That’s because I was living with that guy at the time.”

Soohyun replied casually.

From the day he went to his grandmother’s house with his mother, his environment had changed drastically, but he had never missed his time in Seoul. Perhaps it was because he was too young to understand, but he preferred the days when he played in the dirt with Bokshil.

“These are pictures from when I lived with my grandmother. Bokshil is so cute, right? I thought he was cute when I was looking through the album earlier, but he’s still cute.”

The background in the pictures suddenly changed. In a picture of him grinning with a missing front tooth and eating watermelon, Bokshil was also there, his snout stained red. He must have gotten some watermelon. Or maybe he got it while digging in the dirt with his nose.

“These aren’t pictures I took, but I’m glad there are so many pictures of me from when I was young. And I’m glad there are many pictures of my grandmother and mother, too.”

His grandmother and mother looked much younger than he remembered, as young as he was in the pictures. It was nice to be able to glimpse moments he didn’t remember through photographs.

‘Come to think of it, what is the Director’s family like?’

Suddenly curious, Seo Soohyun glanced at Gi Taeyeon. They had only lived together for three months, so there was still much he didn’t know about him. However, asking about his family felt somewhat delicate. He didn’t seem like the type to be hurt by relationships, but he had mentioned being lonely before, and you never knew what someone was truly feeling.

“Fuzz—face.”

“Yes?”

He was thinking he would ask later, when they had been together longer, when Gi Taeyeon suddenly cupped his cheek and made him look at him.

“Don’t you miss Seo Jeonggyun?”

“Why would I miss that guy?”

It was a truly baffling question.

“I never cried for him even when I was young… I completely forgot his face until I met him again. My mom cut out all his pictures and threw them away. Look here.”

Soohyun calmly flipped to the front of the album.

His mother, who had inherited his grandmother’s fiery personality, had erased all traces of Seo Jeonggyun from the album. She had even cut out his face from some pictures, making them look comical.

Remembering how he had chuckled at those pictures, he turned to show them to the man sitting next to him, but Gi Taeyeon was staring at him, not the pictures. Why was he looking at him like that?

“You won’t look for him in the future either?”

“Why would I look for him when it would only frustrate me? And they say you avoid shit because it’s dirty, not because you’re scared of it. At least shit can be used as fertilizer… That guy is more useless than shit, so why would I look for him again? And like I said, I never cried for my dad even when I was young. I never even thought about meeting him when I grew up.”

“Really?”

“Yes. But why are you suddenly asking about that?”

“Just because.”

Gi Taeyeon gave him a sly smile.

“Just in case.”

Despite the ambiguous answer, Seo Soohyun didn’t pry further and focused on eating the hwajeon. The sweet sugar crystals crunched between his teeth.

🍑

“How much did it go for?”

Gi Taeyeon asked, lightly nudging a dark green, almost black, plastic bag with his foot. Seo Jihwan, standing beside him, immediately presented a tablet.

“Since there’s been high demand from Chinese clients recently, we sold it at a higher price than market value. The supply of alphas is definitely lower compared to betas.”

The man casually checked the numbers and returned the tablet to Seo Jihwan, his brow furrowing slightly. He took the cigarette from between his lips with his long fingers, and the ash precariously clinging to the tip fell onto the plastic bag.

“Fucking hell, I lost money on this deal.”

Even while consistently collecting the maximum legal interest rate, Gi Taeyeon complained about losing money.

“Still, if we include the ones from the workshop, we roughly broke even.”

“The Hash kids?”

“Yes.”

Gi Taeyeon exhaled a plume of smoke and crushed the cigarette butt under his heel.

“Did you send one to Yoo Gukheon?”

“Yes. I heard he flipped out as soon as he received the gift.”

“He should’ve aged gracefully. What glory was he hoping for in his twilight years, entrusting things to those club-running scraps?”

Lee Chanseo’s family was backing Yoo San Construction, and Lee Chanseo had obtained drugs from Hash through them, so it was only fair to send the guy who injected Seo Soohyun to Yoo Gukheon, the owner of Hash.

He could have laughed off the incident at the golf course, where they had tampered with his water bottle, and the pathetic attempt to attack him with some low-level thugs as the last desperate acts of a dying old man. However, the fact that the drugs circulating in the club reached Seo Soohyun was a different story.

“What did you send?”

“A penis.”

Seo Jihwan spoke in a calm voice, as if it were nothing.

“Considering the drug used at the golf course and his apparent preference for alpha penises…”

“This is why I like our Manager Seo.”

Gi Taeyeon chuckled lowly, as if he had heard a funny joke.

“What about the young master?”

“It seems like his finger has been reattached, but I’m not sure if the nerves are still functioning.”

Gi Taeyeon believed that a single non-functional finger wouldn’t hinder one’s ability to function. It was a rather lenient punishment, considering he specifically chose to cut off his middle finger, which would affect his daily life.

“It’s a bit late to ask now, but why did you specifically order a finger?”

“It’s fucking annoying when your fingers don’t obey you while you’re wielding a pen.”

Gi Taeyeon sneered. If Lee Chanseo was truly determined, he would switch to using his left hand, but every time he saw his non-functional finger, he would be reminded of that day. The vague memory would be all the more terrifying.

“Did Lee Chanseok say anything? He didn’t mention anything when I met him.”

“No. He’s not in a position to say anything to you. I was just curious.”

“His love for his grandson is impressive. Well, naming his company after him says it all.”

He knew about the video Gi Taeyeon possessed, so he wouldn’t dare make a move.

The fact that he immediately cut ties with Yoo San Construction and Yoo Gukheon and surrendered proved it. He wouldn’t want the fact that his only grandson, a prized alpha, suffered such humiliation to be revealed, especially since he held a conservative ministerial position.

“Actually, I thought you would order them both to be taken care of.”

“I should repay a favor.”

Gi Taeyeon replied nonchalantly with a smirk.

While he claimed it was repaying a favor, he had another reason for keeping Lee Chanseo alive.

Being alive would be more of a torment for the pampered young master.

Gi Taeyeon had arranged for the alpha who had panted like a dog on top of Seo Soohyun to be pinned down and panted over by another alpha. There was no special reason. He simply wasn’t satisfied with just crushing his hands and knees and decided to give him a taste of his own medicine, including the drug that acted as an aphrodisiac.

‘Strictly speaking, I added a little extra…’

It wasn’t just about the finger. Cameras were rolling.

Gi Taeyeon watched the video with a bored expression, as if he was forcing himself to watch a dull movie. He didn’t have any voyeuristic tendencies, but he needed to check it himself to select usable scenes. The man, who had been wearing a bored expression, learned something unexpected from the voices in the video.

The reason why Seo Soohyun reacted so mildly to alpha pheromones.

—Haa, shi…it… He, he doesn’t even know any alphas because… ugh, because of me…

Why was he acting like it was his doing?

Even if the drugged bastard couldn’t explain properly, there were plenty of ways to find out.

After watching the tedious video to the end, the man stood up and called a doctor who occasionally checked on the “products.”

‘There are studies suggesting that prolonged exposure to alpha pheromones can cause recessive omegas to become less sensitive to other alphas’ pheromones.’

‘He senses my pheromones just fine.’

‘That’s because you’re a dominant alpha. The fact that he mistook a specific alpha’s pheromones for perfume is likely due to prolonged exposure. Because he was exposed to a specific pheromone continuously, albeit in very small amounts, he became so accustomed to it that he normally wouldn’t even notice the scent. However, because he was separated from the alpha emitting the pheromones for an extended period, and was subsequently exposed to your pheromones, he began to properly detect alpha pheromones from that point on. He likely mistook the perpetrator’s pheromones for perfume because it was a scent he hadn’t smelled in a while, and it was fainter than yours.’

Gi Taeyeon finally understood what Lee Chanseo had been rambling about after the long explanation.

He had thought recessive omegas were all insensitive since he didn’t know any, but it seemed that wasn’t the case.

“Thanks to him, he can’t really sense other alphas’ pheromones.”

Lee Chanseo had known Seo Soohyun since middle school, so he had been exposed to those damn pheromones for years.

However, Gi Taeyeon was quite pleased that Seo Soohyun couldn’t sense other alphas’ pheromones well. The fact that another bastard had been continuously releasing pheromones at Seo Soohyun was infuriating, but at least Seo Soohyun hadn’t shown much interest in alphas even during puberty, partly due to his insensitivity to pheromones. Though there weren’t many alphas in their small town anyway.

“I thought it would be better to let him live since there was no need to stir up trouble with his family… but perhaps I’m getting old. The fact that I’m only now thinking it would have been better to take care of it cleanly, even if it’s a bit troublesome…”

Seo Jihwan added, narrowing his eyes. His gaze was fixed on the opaque green plastic bag.

“This is cleaner. I have his weakness in my grip. We should use what we can, right?”

Gi Taeyeon was adept at distinguishing between those he should eliminate and those he could exploit.

Lee Chanseo and his family fell into the latter category. He had heard reports that Lee Chanseo hadn’t left his house, so he must be half out of his mind. With his mental state, it was unlikely he would approach Seo Soohyun again, so it was best to use whatever leverage he had.

First, he planned to use Lee Chanseok, who had been backing Yoo San Construction, to bring them down. Then, he would use that to tighten the noose around Lee Chanseok’s neck.

The hotel and casino construction projects were progressing smoothly, so he had nothing to worry about.

“Indeed, it’s better for business to have leverage than to stir up trouble and create more work for ourselves.”

“Open this up.”

Gi Taeyeon gestured towards the plastic bag at his feet.

One of his men, who had been standing silently nearby, quickly approached and unzipped the bag. He made eye contact with the pathetic-looking man inside. He looked half out of his wits. He must still be under the influence of the anesthetic, which they kindly administered to prevent him from struggling.

“Boss.”

Gi Taeyeon knelt in front of him. He slowly lowered his head, looked down at Seo Jeonggyun, and smiled kindly.

“With this, your debt is fully paid.”

“Ugh…”

“You don’t want to borrow more money, do you? You have nothing left to offer as collateral. No land, no organs.”

Seo Jeonggyun’s chapped lips moved, but only ragged breaths mixed with groans escaped. He showed no sign of producing a coherent voice. Gi Taeyeon patiently waited for his answer, then tilted his head and sneered, his previous gentle expression gone.

“Come to think of it, Boss has a son.”

“Uh, huh…”

“This is why family ties are so bothersome. Even if you’re only legally family, you have to bear joint responsibility if one person borrows money from an illegal loan shark.”

The man who had made Seo Soohyun a co-signer spoke shamelessly as if he had never done such a thing.

“He can’t borrow money from me anymore, so the only option left is illegal loan sharks… He’ll have to sell his son or something. Don’t you think?”

“N, n, no…”

“I doubt anyone would take him, considering me, but you never know.”

Even if someone did, cleaning up afterwards wouldn’t be difficult, but it was best to avoid creating such a nuisance in the first place.

“So, what should I do, Boss?”

“P, p, please…”

“Please? No, the only way to prevent him from using his son as collateral is for the father to disappear.”

More than anything, he didn’t need Seo Soohyun’s bloodline.

Gi Taeyeon smirked and slowly stood up. Seo Jeonggyun, still partially anesthetized, thrashed around, but Gi Taeyeon ignored him.

“Take care of him cleanly, so the flies don’t smell him.”

“Yes, Director.”

A large alpha zipped the bag closed.

“Goodbye, Mr. Seo Jeonggyun.”

Gi Taeyeon put a cigarette between his teeth as he looked down at the man, now only visible through the closing zipper.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be the father figure.”

His lighthearted smile seemed oddly refreshing.

“Mmm…”

Seo Soohyun was roused from sleep by a ticklish sensation on his neck. Sometimes, Bokshil, who slept at the head of his bed, would shift position and rest his chin on his shoulder, and it felt just like that.

Then, the familiar scent of body wash tickled his nose. Seo Soohyun finally forced his heavy eyelids open. It wasn’t the first time the man had touched him while he was sleeping, so he wasn’t surprised.

“Director… where did you go?”

His voice was thick with sleep.

He hadn’t realized the light was on, so he frowned and squinted. If Gi Taeyeon had gone out in the middle of the night and come back after showering, or if he had showered before coming to bed instead of coming straight to the bedroom, it was highly likely he had been up to no good.

“Why, curious? Want me to tell you my every move?”

“Not that curious… But if you were with another omega, I won’t let you get away with it.”

“Where would I find another omega when I have the incredibly hot Seo Soohyun right here?”

Gi Taeyeon chuckled and slipped his hand under Soohyun’s pajamas, caressing him, as if he hadn’t heard Soohyun’s serious tone. Soohyun let him, his body still heavy with sleep. He wasn’t bothered by the man’s touch; in fact, the more his large hands roamed over his body, the sleepier he felt.

“Anyway, if you meet someone else, I really won’t let you get away with it. My grandmothers told me to cut off your…”

The rest of his sentence trailed off into a mumble. He had been woken from a deep sleep, and the familiar hands exploring his body made him drowsy.

Gi Taeyeon chuckled at Soohyun’s parroting of his grandmothers’ words.

“Do you think I’m afraid of my tiny boyfriend?”

His tone was playful, but it dripped with amusement.

I really won’t let you get away with it…

Seo Soohyun made a firm resolution, even as he was drifting back to sleep. The second most common thing his grandmothers had told him after he confessed about dating Gi Taeyeon was to cut off the man’s penis if he ever cheated.

‘T, th…this! This good-for-nothing bastard, worse than a dog, is taking advantage of our puppy…!’

‘Oh dear, sister. Calm down, you’ll collapse. But Soohyun, can’t you reconsider? Hmm?’

‘Tsk tsk. I knew it, I knew it. Why are there so many poor things around me who fall for scoundrels…’

‘Soohyun, my dear. Listen to your grandmothers. Hmm? Break up with him right now. How old is that man! Our puppy still has a bright future ahead of him, and that dark man is holding him back!’

Naturally, the most common thing they told him was to break up with Gi Taeyeon.

‘If that guy cheats on you, cut off his penis. Make sure he can never be a man again—no, an alpha again. Understand?’

‘Yes, don’t worry.’

Seo Soohyun had bravely responded to his grandmothers, who were badmouthing his boyfriend. He was determined not to let the man get away with it if he ever met another omega.

But I don’t think the Director would actually meet another omega… Just as he was drifting back to sleep, certain of this thought…

“Ah!”

A sharp pain jolted Soohyun awake. The pleasant drowsiness he had been feeling vanished, replaced by a sudden surge of arousal that tightened his muscles and sharpened his mind.

His eyes instinctively darted to the source of the pain. Gi Taeyeon, straddling him, was biting his nipple. He had known the man was on top of him, touching him, but he had no idea when his pajamas had been removed.

“Hng, ah…”

A moan escaped him before he could tell the man to get off. Gi Taeyeon began to slowly lick his hardened nipple. Calloused fingers kneaded the other, inverted nipple.

“Ha… D, Director, ah, are you going to…?”

“Why, don’t you want to?”

Seo Soohyun hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. He was a little disappointed to have been woken up from his deep sleep, but having sex after waking up was also nice.

“I want to…”

He reached out and touched Gi Taeyeon’s hair, and the man lifted his head, his eyes narrowed.

“Baby.”

His expression was twice as mischievous as usual, and Seo Soohyun just blinked.

“Call me Daddy during sex today.”

It wasn’t a question, but a thinly veiled command.

Is he drunk?

Seo Soohyun sniffed the air, wrinkling his nose. He couldn’t smell anything other than the familiar scent of body wash because the man wasn’t releasing his pheromones. Not all alcohol had a strong scent, but considering the lack of smell, and his usual tone and expression, he didn’t seem drunk. He had never seen him drunk before, anyway.

Then did I mishear him because I was half-asleep?

“What did you just say? I think I misheard…”

“I said, call me Daddy, not Director.”

“…Why?”

“It’s different.”

Calling someone who wasn’t his father “Daddy” would certainly be different. But it was a request Soohyun couldn’t understand.

“But you’re not my dad. Of course, it would be a big problem if you were, but you don’t have any children… Do you have a secret child I don’t know about?”

He asked, wondering if Gi Taeyeon was about to make some sort of confession, but the man just frowned, looking bewildered.

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Then why are you suddenly talking about daddies?”

“If I had a kid when I first had sex, they’d be about your age now.”

Seo Soohyun gaped at his outrageous statement.

“Who knows, maybe I’m your father. Well, not that I gave birth, but an omega would have, and I just provided the seed.”

Gi Taeyeon continued to smirk, looking at Seo Soohyun’s horrified expression. It was highly inappropriate behavior towards his much younger lover, but as usual, he didn’t seem to care.

“Don’t be ridiculous. And I don’t want to.”

“Are you sulking?”

He chuckled mockingly at Soohyun’s refusal.

“I’m not petty enough to sulk over something like this. I just don’t understand why I have to call you Daddy during sex. I understand what you mean by ‘different,’ but it’s a weird preference… And I told you, I don’t have a dad. You know I don’t even consider that guy my father.”

“Then it’s even less of a problem. So why don’t you want to?”

Do you want to have a baby?

But Seo Soohyun had never discussed babies with Gi Taeyeon. Firstly, because he was a recessive omega, pregnancy itself would be difficult. But even if it weren’t, he hadn’t really imagined a future where he and Gi Taeyeon had a child.

‘And isn’t family planning something married couples do?’

More than anything, he was deeply worried about the kind of home environment a child would have if they did have one.

“I haven’t called anyone ‘Dad’ since I was a baby. So I don’t want to call you that. It’s awkward…”

However, no matter how he thought about it, it didn’t seem like Gi Taeyeon had asked him to call him “Daddy” because he wanted a baby. When he firmly refused, Gi Taeyeon cleared his throat and tilted his head.

“Alright, then.”

The dismissive tone sounded suspicious, but Soohyun obediently offered his tongue as Gi Taeyeon bit his lip.

“Mmm, ah…”

Seo Soohyun tried to open his mouth as wide as possible. His mouth wasn’t small, and he could usually fit a spoonful of food without his cheeks bulging, so he thought it would be fine. However, taking the man’s penis in his mouth proved to be a challenge.

“Haa, mm… cough, cough!”

Perhaps it was because of the fingers thrusting into him from behind.

Soohyun braced himself, his toes curled, but he couldn’t hold back any longer and spat out the flesh that had filled his mouth. He coughed, and a string of fluid, either saliva or pre-ejaculate, stretched between the hard tip and his soft lips.

“Can’t even suck properly?”

“Haa, Director, s, stop, hng, ah, ah!”

“Yes, stop what.”

He wanted to hold on, but it wasn’t easy.

He was leaning against Gi Taeyeon’s thigh, his hips tilted towards the man’s face. Even though he was holding the erect penis with both hands, his elbows propped up on Gi Taeyeon’s thighs, his body trembled and his head bobbed with each thrust of the fingers in his hole.

“It, it tickles… ah!”

Seo Soohyun didn’t want to spit out the penis.

Opening his jaw wide enough and taking the large length into his mouth to suck was harder than he thought. But the penis was one of the places where pheromones were most concentrated. As an omega, it was natural to be drawn to an alpha’s pheromones, and his partner was not just any alpha, but a dominant alpha, his lover. He wouldn’t intentionally spit out the place where he could smell the man’s scent, pheromones, and body odor the strongest.

However, the constant stimulation of his hole was hard to bear. Not only were moans escaping his tightly closed lips, but the overwhelming pleasure made him instinctively try to pull his hips away, and as Gi Taeyeon pulled him closer, the penis, which he had barely managed to keep in his mouth, popped out, his cheek bulging.

“Now you’re blaming others.”

“Ha, uh, huh!”

Seo Soohyun collapsed against Gi Taeyeon’s thigh. His mind felt like it was melting, about to lose consciousness. He could feel the slick precum, leaking profusely with each thrust of the thick, rough fingers, flowing down his wrinkles and onto Gi Taeyeon’s thigh. He couldn’t deny the man’s claim that he was leaking like a faucet.

“Get a grip.”

Smack!

“Hng!”

The light slap on his buttocks made his hole clench. The already tight walls around the fingers pulsed like a suction cup, and a soft moan escaped him.

“Hnng…”

Soohyun blinked dazedly, his vision flickering like a faulty lightbulb, and managed to move his head. He stuck out his tongue and licked the stiff penis, his taste buds mapping the prominent veins. The papillae on his tongue, the tiny bumps that allowed him to taste, lapped up the alpha’s pheromones along with his saliva.

“Ahh, mm…”

Gi Taeyeon’s pheromones still smelled like alcohol to him, but now the scent was sweet, not pungent.

“Ha…”

As he diligently licked the shaft, knowing it would be difficult to take it all in his mouth, a languid sigh escaped from behind him. At the same time, the fingers that had been busy stretching his hole slowed down and began to gently rub against the slick walls. A sudden ticklish sensation in his gut made Seo Soohyun wiggle his toes.

He didn’t even think about taking care of his twitching hole himself. He was desperate to have the familiar penis inside him.

“Hng, hnng…”

Knowing that begging wouldn’t work and would only annoy Gi Taeyeon, Soohyun obediently opened his mouth. As he had learned from the man, he wrapped his tongue around the shaft and lightly sucked, rubbing the skin against the wet inner lining of his lips. He could feel the engorged veins against his tongue and lips.

He slowly moved his head. He wanted to take the entire length in his mouth, but he knew he wouldn’t be able to with the fingers in his hole. He decided to do what he could instead of being greedy and slowly moved his face, his nose brushing against the penis. Even if he couldn’t take it all in his mouth, he could at least inhale the potent pheromones.

Just as he was about to bury his nose deeper, enjoying the intoxicating scent…

“Ah!”

Before he could react to the sensation of the fingers leaving his hole, he felt a large hand grip his buttock. It was the left buttock, the one that had just been slapped, and the grip was firm enough to make it sting. His shoulders flinched, and the hand paused briefly, then spread his cheeks as if to get a better look at his hole.

“Haa…”

Gi Taeyeon did this often, so instead of panicking, Seo Soohyun tried to go back to licking the man’s penis. The first time he had done this, Soohyun had been surprised and thrashed his legs, but after numerous such experiences, he had learned to spread his legs on his own when Gi Taeyeon wanted to see his hole. It wasn’t that he wasn’t embarrassed, but he felt a sense of fascination whenever he looked at the man’s penis, so he assumed Gi Taeyeon felt similarly about his hole.

He figured it was the same this time and was about to move his head despite the awkward position with his hips lifted, when…

“Hng, what…!”

With his buttocks spread, he could feel his hole exposed. Then, he felt something wet touch his wrinkles. A wave of revulsion made him tense his legs, his toes pushing against the sheets.

“D, don’t do that!”

“You didn’t do what I wanted, so why should I?”

The man chuckled and then ran his tongue over his wrinkles, one by one.

Oh no. It really is his tongue. Seo Soohyun finally realized that the wetness on his hole and wrinkles was indeed Gi Taeyeon’s tongue.

Gi Taeyeon had sucked his penis many times, but he had never put his mouth on his hole, and Soohyun was flustered. He knew this wasn’t right. He tried to crawl away, but Gi Taeyeon was faster.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

“Ahh!”

Gi Taeyeon reached out and grabbed his thigh. His hips lifted as his waist was pulled back, and he felt the man’s hard nose against his buttocks. Escaping completely seemed impossible, so he wriggled, trying to pull his hips away as much as possible, but the pointed tongue flattened and began to lick his hole.

“D, Director, hnng, stop it…”

It felt incredibly strange. Perhaps it was because his skin, already slick with precum, became even wetter with the added saliva, creating a sloshy sound with each lick. A shiver ran down his spine and his hips twitched as the soft, pliable flesh pressed against his thin skin.

“Hnng, ah… you’re not supposed to, haa, lick a hole…”

“How does a baby like you know what you’re supposed to do? Mister knows better, having lived for so many more years.”

“Ah, don’t, don’t talk with your, your tongue there, ah…”

Annoyed, he gripped Gi Taeyeon’s thigh, but the man just chuckled, as if it was nothing. The tongue retreated momentarily, but his warm breath still lingered on his lower body. Just as he was determined to kick the man with his legs, even if he had to stretch his calves…

“Haa!”

He felt lips against his skin, and then a pointed tongue invaded his hole.

“Wha, what… Ah!”

Soohyun, who had been about to turn around, couldn’t move and just hung his head. Unlike a finger or a penis, this intrusion was soft and warm, and a sudden tension gripped him, his stomach clenching.

“Hnng…”

Each time the tongue licked his sensitive flesh, saliva, with a different viscosity than his precum, coated his softened insides.

The unfamiliar sensation left Seo Soohyun speechless, only able to moan. Every time Gi Taeyeon’s nose brushed against his thin skin, the lips on his wrinkles pulled away and then returned, making a sucking sound like someone eating candy.

“Mmm, weird…”

Seo Soohyun finally squeezed his eyes shut. His stomach twitched with each lick of the slippery tongue. His mind told him this wasn’t typical foreplay, but his body betrayed him. His resolve to escape was gradually overwhelmed by the rising arousal.

“Haa, uh, ah!”

The tongue, which had been slowly licking his insides, suddenly retreated, replaced by a rough knuckle. Then, a thick finger, reaching places the tongue couldn’t, and the hard nail at its tip roughly rubbed against his tightly clenched hole, stretching it open.

“Soohyun, do you like it when I lick your hole?”

“Ah, uh!”

“Haa, I’ll stick my tongue back in…”

The man’s arm, which had been holding his thigh to prevent him from escaping, had long since retreated. However, Seo Soohyun didn’t notice, too caught up in his panting.

“Clench it like you clench my dick.”

“Ahh, I, I can’t…”

“Why can’t you?”

The man chuckled and lightly slapped his buttock, then thrust another finger into his tight hole. At the same time, he released his pheromones. The hole, which had barely been able to accommodate a single finger, twitched and readily accepted another as the familiar pheromones washed over him.

“Our Soohyun is good at this, taking it in this hole.”

“N, no, ah! Don’t, don’t pull… hnng, ah!”

Seo Soohyun instinctively knew Gi Taeyeon had inserted both index fingers. Before he could wave his arms in protest, the intertwined fingers stretched his hole open. A thick tongue entered after a hot breath, and the fingers that had been stretching his hole slowly retreated.

“Hnng, ahh, mm!”

A large hand gripped his buttocks and pulled him closer.

Soohyun moaned, on the verge of tears. The tears that had welled up in his eyes since he took Gi Taeyeon’s penis in his mouth finally spilled over, his lips parting.

“Haa, uh, ha…”

The only sounds in the room were the wet slapping sounds and Soohyun’s soft moans.

“Hng…”

He instinctively reached for Gi Taeyeon’s thigh. The man’s body was the only thing he could hold onto. Veins bulged on the back of his hand, and his waist trembled.

I’m going to…

“Ah!”

Just as he was about to lose himself in the anticipation of the approaching pleasure, his penis was suddenly blocked.

“Ugh, hnng…”

His orgasm abruptly cut off, Soohyun fumbled for Gi Taeyeon’s wrist. His hand trembled, but the man’s hand remained firm.

“Why… hnng, let go, I want to cum… I’m going to… hnng.”

Just a few seconds later, his penis would have erupted, sending a wave of pleasure through his body.

“You cum just from having your ass licked?”

“Ah! D, don’t… ahh, hnng!”

Gi Taeyeon chuckled and rubbed his urethra. He was already tormented by being denied his orgasm, and the added stimulation of his glans was driving him crazy. Seo Soohyun wriggled and moaned, a mix of pleasure and complaint.

“Let, let go… hnng, I want to cum, Director…”

“Who’s the Director?”

His vision, blurred by unshed tears from the pent-up pleasure, cleared as he blinked. And with that, Seo Soohyun realized what Gi Taeyeon wanted.

“Hnng, I, I don’t want to… Let go, ah, let go. I want to… ah!”

The escalating pleasure made him feel like his head was going to explode. He clawed at the man’s wrist, but his neat fingernails couldn’t leave a scratch.

“Don’t cum yet.”

“Ahh, uh, I, I can’t. I want to cum…”

He thought if he sucked the man’s penis and made him aroused, he might let go, but it seemed impossible to take it in his mouth in this position.

Soohyun, breathing raggedly with whimpers, finally parted his tightly closed lips.

“Hnng, hng, I, I want to cum… let, let go, D, Daddy…”

He barely managed to add the desired title, and a low chuckle followed.

“Baby.”

The finger rubbing his urethra continued its relentless motion, despite the affectionate address.

“Do you want to cum because Daddy is licking your hole?”

“Hnng, y, yes…”

Seo Soohyun whimpered in response. He was too overwhelmed to feel embarrassed by the word “Daddy” that had come out of his own mouth. The intense need to cum made his stomach clench, and he felt like he was about to burst into tears.

“If I let go, will you be a good boy and pee?”

“Y, yes…”

Before he could nod in agreement, the hand blocking his penis was removed.

“Ahh! Haa, hnng, hng…”

A belated orgasm erupted, releasing the pent-up pleasure.

Completely drained by the consecutive orgasms, Seo Soohyun couldn’t even moan properly. He just trembled like someone huddled against the cold, lost in the afterglow of his orgasm. He felt like a butterfly, lured by the promise of honey, only to be drugged and left fluttering helplessly.

“Ah!”

As he lay there dazed, tears streaming down his face, he was suddenly flipped over. As soon as his back touched the soft bed, a hard, erect penis pierced his still-twitching hole.

“A, ah…”

The penis, having just entered, spurted more semen.

Even through his tear-blurred vision, he could clearly see the man’s smiling face. Seo Soohyun whimpered and cried. The man’s smug expression infuriated him, but he didn’t have the energy to even glare, let alone clench his fists.

“Haa, don’t, don’t cum shallowly…”

All he could do was whisper, catching his breath.

“Why, should I cum deep inside?”

“Hnng, if, if you cum, shallowly… it, it keeps leaking…”

His hand instinctively reached for his groin.

“Hnng…”

His hand fumbled weakly, unable to reach where he wanted. Gi Taeyeon chuckled and grabbed his hand. With the man’s unwelcome help, Soohyun touched the area around his hole. As expected, he felt a fluid thicker than his precum.

It had been a while since he started sucking the man’s penis. While Seo Soohyun cummed a little more frequently than Gi Taeyeon, it was about time for the man to cum as well. Although he sometimes came on his face or in his mouth, he usually came inside him, so it wasn’t unusual for Gi Taeyeon to switch positions, penetrate him, and cum. However, it felt strange for him to cum so shallowly this time. Perhaps it was the sensation of the semen leaking out that made him feel uneasy.

“It’ll all leak out anyway,”

The man, who hadn’t made him suck his penis after he came, thrust slowly and replied.

“Haa, ha…”

His walls were soft after his orgasms. The continuous stimulation made his hips twitch, and Seo Soohyun could only let out soft moans between ragged breaths. At least Gi Taeyeon wasn’t thrusting fast, allowing him to catch his breath.

“It’s not like I’m cumming in your womb. Has semen ever not leaked out of your hole, Seo Soohyun?”

“Hnng, ah, mm…”

It wasn’t entirely wrong, since sex with the man always ended with semen leaking from his hole.

However, the sensation of semen leaking out after being cummed in so shallowly felt completely different from the usual feeling of it dripping out as the man thrust, pushing it out past his glans.

In the former case, he was too lost in pleasure to clearly feel the thick fluid leaking out. In the latter, he was aware enough to feel it vividly. Even though it was natural for semen to leak out after being cummed inside, he felt strangely embarrassed.

“And, baby.”

“Ah!”

A firm hand slid down his thigh, as if he had been given enough time to enjoy the afterglow of his orgasm. His hips lifted as Gi Taeyeon pulled him up.

“During sex with Daddy…”

“W, wait, hnng!”

“What if, haa, I cum inside… and our baby gets, pregnant? Hmm?”

“N, no, hnng, ah, no! I, I’m not in heat… mm!”

The tip, which had been shallowly thrusting, pushed against his tightly clenched walls, then retreated.

Gi Taeyeon deliberately released a flood of pheromones. An omega drenched in alpha pheromones became twice as sensitive, so even at his usual pace, Seo Soohyun would be able to take it without injury.

Seo Soohyun cried out each time Gi Taeyeon’s firm thighs slapped against his soft buttocks. The man didn’t slow down, even as he watched his young lover tremble, his head thrown back.

“Hnng, what do you mean, no… Don’t you want Daddy’s baby?”

He deliberately used words that would make Seo Soohyun cringe.

“Ahh, uh, aaa! No, hnng, D, Director, ah, a baby is fine… aah!”

“Fuck.”

Gi Taeyeon hadn’t really thought about having a baby with Seo Soohyun. Seo Soohyun probably hadn’t either. But seeing him mumbling “it’s okay” through his slack, drool-covered lips made him curse. Veins bulged on the back of his hand as he gripped Seo Soohyun’s thigh, still marked with his fingerprints.

Thwack!

“Ahhh!”

“Seo Soohyun.”

He buried himself deep inside, Seo Soohyun’s white buttocks flushed red against his rough pubic hair, and then slowly bent down. He grabbed Seo Soohyun’s cheeks without hesitation.

“Who’s the Director?”

“Hnng, uh…?”

“You don’t want Daddy’s baby, haa, but another bastard’s baby is okay?”

“Hnng, D, Director knows, knows that’s not, not true, waah…”

Even though he knew Gi Taeyeon was teasing him, Seo Soohyun burst into tears of frustration.

“What are you talking about?”

However, Gi Taeyeon showed no remorse. He acted as if he didn’t understand what Seo Soohyun meant. He knew Seo Soohyun meant it was okay to carry his baby, but when Seo Soohyun rarely shed tears of frustration like this, it fueled his sadistic urge to tease him even more. Or perhaps he was aroused by Seo Soohyun’s words about his baby.

“Our Soohyun’s hole can only take Daddy’s dick, so I wonder whose dick this pretty hole has taken…”

His voice was cold, but he wiped away Seo Soohyun’s tears with a gentle touch, as if he really were his father. His thrusts, however, were far from gentle. He kept his penis buried deep inside, thrusting shallowly and hitting the swollen flesh inside. It was the spot that made Seo Soohyun incredibly sensitive.

“Ahh! Ah! Aaa! D, Director, hnng, too deep… hnng!”

“There’s no Director, hnng, here.”

“D, Daddy…”

Overwhelmed by the intense pleasure, Seo Soohyun unconsciously uttered the word Gi Taeyeon wanted.

“Yes, baby. Daddy’s here.”

Apparently satisfied with the address, Gi Taeyeon’s relentless thrusting softened into gentle strokes. The sensitive flesh inside, which had been roughly pushed aside by the movement of his glans, now moved slowly back and forth, teasing his heated body.

“Haa, D, Daddy, it’s you, it’s you. Hnng… T, there’s no one else…”

“Be specific.”

“O, only Daddy’s, baby is o, okay, mm!”

“Ahh, only Daddy’s baby is okay?”

“Y, yes…”

Seo Soohyun nodded instinctively, not seeing the smirk spreading across Gi Taeyeon’s lips. The pleasure scraping against his insides felt like his head was going to explode. It felt like sweet, sparkling candies were dancing inside his brain, like when he first tasted Pop Rocks.

“Ahh!”

His scattered moans suddenly intensified.

The penis that had been roughly thrusting inside him had switched to gentle movements, and he was just starting to get used to the languid pace when the thrusts suddenly became violent again.

“D, Direc, no, hnng, D, Daddy, slowly…”

Seo Soohyun, who was about to call him “Director” as usual, barely managed to correct himself. Considering the man’s contrary nature, it was easier to just give him what he wanted.

If he had a strong father figure in his life, he might have felt guilty or strange about calling his lover “Daddy.” However, he had never really felt the absence of a father, and he had completely lost any affection for Seo Jeonggyun, so calling Gi Taeyeon “Daddy” didn’t evoke any strong resistance. It just felt a little strange.

“Haa, thrust slowly?”

“Yes, yes… kiss, kiss me…”

Seo Soohyun deliberately clenched his hole and begged for a kiss.

“You’re being coy again.”

Gi Taeyeon smirked, as if he saw right through him, but he lowered his head.

“Hng…”

They were still connected, but he wasn’t held down by the thighs anymore, so it was easier to move his legs. Seo Soohyun, as he had learned, spread his legs wider so Gi Taeyeon could go deeper, and wrapped his arms around the man’s neck. A hot tongue slipped inside like a snake, licking his saliva-soaked flesh.

“Hng.”

A rough finger pinched his nipple, and a moan escaped him, but it came out as a whimper because his mouth was occupied. Seo Soohyun carefully lowered his left arm, which had been around Gi Taeyeon’s neck, and began to caress his own neglected nipple.

He felt a chuckle vibrate through the tongue in his mouth. He knew why Gi Taeyeon was laughing, but he wasn’t embarrassed. He was always honest with his expressions during sex. And it was Gi Taeyeon who had taught him to touch his nipples. The man had a slight obsession with his inverted nipples, so he had to take care of the left one himself.

“Mm…”

The tongue that had been licking the inside of his cheek slowly slid out and began to suck on his tongue.

Kissing was always good. Soohyun wriggled, trying to rub his tongue against Gi Taeyeon’s. It wasn’t easy to move his tongue while breathing through his nose and having both nipples stimulated in different ways, but he was eager to touch the man.

“Ah!”

He was relieved that the penis wasn’t moving much, when Gi Taeyeon pulled away, a string of saliva stretching between their mouths as the man’s penis slipped out slightly. He instinctively tried to wrap his legs around Gi Taeyeon’s thick waist, but the hard flesh pistoning inside him was faster.

“Ah…!”

He could clearly feel his insides being stretched.

“Ah, hnng, ahh…”

“Baby.”

Gi Taeyeon lightly touched his cheek as he lay there dazed, panting with his mouth open from the sudden impact.

“Did you cum again?”

“Haa, ah…”

“Daddy wants to cum inside Soohyun’s hole too. Who should help me with that?”

He hadn’t even realized he had cum, so overwhelmed was he by the feeling of his insides being pulled out.

“M, me…”

Seo Soohyun barely managed to answer, his voice trembling. He had long since lost the ability to think clearly.

“I told you to speak clearly during sex.”

“Hnng, I, I, ah, Daddy’s baby, hnng, has to help…”

“What?”

He wasn’t usually scared of Gi Taeyeon’s curt tone, but perhaps because he was calling him “Daddy,” the instructive tone sounded especially intimidating today.

“Daddy, mm, cumming inside, this hole…”

It made him even more obedient.

“How are you going to help?”

Soohyun struggled to think. He had become accustomed to Gi Taeyeon’s vulgar talk during sex, accepting it as normal, and the sex he taught him was no different. Even now, with the added “Daddy” kink, the rough sex was something Seo Soohyun was very familiar with.

However, Gi Taeyeon’s desired responses and actions changed every time, so he had to figure things out.

“Ahh, uh…”

Remembering how Gi Taeyeon had been touching his nipples earlier, Seo Soohyun managed to lift his heavy arms and began to play with them. He lightly pinched his nipples, then rolled the hardened buds between his thumb and forefinger. As a warm arousal bloomed in his chest, he pinched and tugged at his nipples, twisting them slightly.

“Ah, good…”

The penis filling him felt heavy and uncomfortable, but his heated body readily accepted the pleasure emanating from his chest. He twisted his nipples hard enough to hurt, and his buttocks clenched and released, his hole milking the penis inside.

“Haa…”

Hearing a languid sigh, Soohyun instinctively opened his eyes. As soon as their eyes met, the man’s jaw tightened.

“Take it properly.”

“Aah! Ah!”

Before the penis, buried deep inside him, could fully withdraw, his body was held in place. The rough thrusting continued, following the rhythm of the man’s hips.

“Hnng, ah, aaa!”

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

His body was definitely being shaken, it wasn’t just his imagination.

His limp legs couldn’t wrap around the man’s waist. They would slightly curl inwards as Gi Taeyeon pulled back, then spread wide as his hard thighs slapped against his buttocks. His upper body was just as weak and limp.

Thud! With each savage thrust, a sticky squelching sound came from his hole, and finally, a thick, white foam appeared. His body bucked wildly with each thrust of Gi Taeyeon’s hips.

“Hnng, Seo Soohyun.”

“Ahh, hng, hnng! Ah, aaa!”

“If you show this side of you, haa, to another bastard…”

“Ahh!”

“It won’t end like this.”

The tip of the penis repeatedly hit his swollen insides, and his head, thrown back, lolled forward, his gaze falling on Gi Taeyeon’s face.

The moment he saw that face, Seo Soohyun realized the man was serious. Gone was the playful expression from when he had shamelessly demanded to be called “Daddy.” His face was harsh, devoid of any amusement.

His furrowed brows, his clenched jaw, his intense gaze – it was both familiar and unsettling.

“N, hnng, no, I won’t…”

Despite his weak trembling, Seo Soohyun rasped, his voice thick with arousal.

“Hnng, ah… I’ll, I’ll only take, your dick… ah!”

“Yes, good boy.”
