Cherry Cake Chapter 9.1

“What’s this now?”

Gi Taeyeon frowned openly and grabbed Seo Soohyun’s forearm. A dark bruise bloomed on the pale wrist.

“Did Seo Jeonggyun do this?”

Taeyeon had just received a report that Jeonggyun had been lurking nearby. He’d confirmed it through Seo Jihwan and CCTV footage. Even without that, Jeonggyun was the only person capable of doing this to Soohyun.

Soohyun’s skin bruised easily, even with the slightest pressure during sex, making it easy to guess what had happened.

Maybe he should have just broken the wrist. Taeyeon examined the bruise again, his displeasure evident.

“How did you know?”

“How did I know what?”

“You went to work with Uncle Jihwan. I was alone at the time.”

Instead of pulling his arm away, Soohyun let Taeyeon examine it, his eyes wide. He allowed his arm to be manipulated like a paper doll, completely submitting to Taeyeon’s touch.

“And… you weren’t going to tell me?”

“No, I was going to tell you. So you could catch him quickly.”

Soohyun answered immediately, as if it were obvious. He had no intention of hiding the encounter with Jeonggyun. Hiding it would only hurt him. Jeonggyun had to be caught if Soohyun was to get his grandmother’s property back; there was no reason to hide anything.

The odd comment about Taeyeon owning the land bothered him, but it didn’t give him a reason to lie.

“I was actually planning to follow him, thinking he might know someone who lives here. Then I could at least find out who he’s meeting, and maybe track him down through them. But he suddenly turned around and we made eye contact. I thought he’d run, but he ran towards me, calling my name. Then he grabbed my wrist and this happened.”

Soohyun now regretted not chasing after Jeonggyun when he ran away from the security guards. He heard that one of the guards gave chase, but Jeonggyun was too quick and got away.

“Why did you go to the convenience store anyway?”

How did he know I went to the convenience store? Soohyun wondered, then quickly accepted it, thinking Taeyeon must have smelled the spicy ramen. It wasn’t even broth ramen, and he had eaten it a while ago, so the smell shouldn’t have lingered, but Taeyeon had sharp senses.

However, Soohyun’s acceptance was of the fact that Taeyeon knew he had gone to the store, not of the question itself.

“It wasn’t my fault, it was his… You shouldn’t blame me for going to the convenience store.”

“Oh really?”

Taeyeon raised an eyebrow as if humoring him, but Soohyun didn’t back down.

“It’s true! I’m the victim. It’s wrong to interrogate the victim about why they went somewhere. Apologize, quickly.”

“So much chatter after I take care of you. I’m sorry. Happy now?”

“Yes.”

It was far from a sincere apology, but Soohyun was satisfied. He knew how difficult it was to get Taeyeon to say he was sorry.

“Did you… eat dinner?”

“Yes. What about you? Do you want me to make you something?”

“It’s fine.”

Soohyun trailed after Taeyeon as he walked into the living room. He noticed a scent of body wash coming from Taeyeon. If Taeyeon had said he would be late because of work, it meant he was busy. Why would he shower outside when he could have done so at home?

“Does your wrist… hurt?”

Taeyeon asked as he sat on the sofa. Soohyun naturally sat beside him.

“It’s okay. I bruise easily, so it just looks bad. It doesn’t hurt that much. I tried to shake him off, but it just made the bruise worse.”

“What did that bastard do to you?”

“He wasn’t making much sense, so I don’t remember exactly. I think he was looking for someone…”

Soohyun slowly replayed the encounter in his mind. He’d been startled when the person he was considering following suddenly approached, so he didn’t remember much of what was said. More than anything, Jeonggyun’s behavior had been too erratic to focus on his words.

Come to think of it, he smelled me. Soohyun unconsciously touched his neck.

“What?”

Taeyeon narrowed his eyes.

“He suddenly started talking about pheromones and smelled me. Oh, before that he asked me if I lived with him. Now that I think about it, maybe he came to see you…”

At the time, Soohyun had been shocked, and after Jeonggyun ran off, he was so angry that he’d focused on eating spicy ramen to relieve his stress. But thinking about it now, he realized Jeonggyun might have been looking for Taeyeon.

The fact that Jeonggyun asked if Soohyun lived there meant their encounter was purely coincidental. He asked about living with ‘him’ after that. If Soohyun followed the flow of the conversation, the only connection was Taeyeon.

“Or not? If he was planning to sell the land to you, he would have gone to your office… Why would he come here?”

But if Jeonggyun had come to see Taeyeon, it didn’t explain why he was lurking around the area. If he planned to make a deal with Taeyeon, it would have been more efficient to visit his office.

“He wouldn’t have come to see me.”

“How do you know?”

“I have people watching him, but he’s slipping through the cracks like a little eel. And if he wanted to see me, he would have come to my office, not here. He needs to sell fuzz—face’s land to make money, right?”

Now that Taeyeon mentioned it, it made sense. Then who was Jeonggyun trying to meet?

Soohyun looked down at his bruised wrist as if to avoid eye contact.

‘Your land is with that bastard.’

He felt hesitant to bring it up.

“This is nice…”

Seo Soohyun exhaled slowly and leaned his head back against the bathtub. One distinct advantage of Taeyeon’s house compared to his old place was this large bathtub. Sometimes, standing under the hot shower, he felt the urge to soak in a tub. Now he could whenever he wanted. Especially today, after spending the afternoon tending the fields, it felt good to have his sore muscles relax.

He kicked his feet gently, watching the water droplets and his toes. Soohyun lowered his legs again and rested his head. He should forget the unpleasant memory quickly, but the encounter with Jeonggyun kept replaying in his mind.

‘What did he mean by my land being with that bastard?’

His train of thought led him to Gi Taeyeon.

But Seo Soohyun couldn’t understand what Jeonggyun meant. Did he say that because he would eventually sell the land to Taeyeon?

If Jeonggyun had been sober, like when they met at Soohyun’s place, he might have spoken more clearly. But he had been acting drunk, making it difficult to grasp his meaning. Moreover, it was such a fleeting comment that the more Soohyun thought about it, the more he questioned whether Jeonggyun had even said those words.

“Anyway, I have to trust Director.”

Seo Soohyun made up his mind. For now, trusting Taeyeon was the best option. Worrying wouldn’t solve anything, and it was better for his peace of mind to stop thinking about it.

Having come to a conclusion, he felt much more at ease. Soohyun slid further down, submerging his shoulders completely, and gently kicked his feet. Perhaps because he hadn’t used the bathtub much, he always felt like playing with his feet whenever he got in.

“Want me to buy you a floatie?”

Soohyun had been so focused on his feet that he didn’t notice anyone entering.

“Oh!”

Startled, he almost slipped underwater, but Taeyeon grabbed his arm and pulled him up. Thanks to him, Soohyun narrowly avoided dunking his face.

“You’re practically begging for one with that display.”

“That’s not it, I slipped because I was surprised! Thank you for catching me. I would have been in trouble if it weren’t for you.”

Soohyun placed a hand over his racing heart and tilted his head back. Something large and snake-like caught his eye, but he managed to crane his neck enough to see Taeyeon’s face.

“By the way, why did you come in?”

“Did you rent out the bathroom?”

Soohyun had come to the larger bathroom because he thought Taeyeon wouldn’t be using it after having showered earlier. Apparently, he was wrong. He felt a pang of disappointment at not being able to soak longer, but since someone else had entered, he should leave.

“Then I’ll go.”

“Just move over.”

As Soohyun awkwardly shifted, Taeyeon entered the tub. The water sloshed over the edge.

“What are you doing?”

“Oh!”

Soohyun tried to get up, but Taeyeon grabbed his arm and pulled him closer. Confused, Soohyun found himself leaning against Taeyeon’s chest. Peeking up, he met Taeyeon’s gaze.

“What…?”

“…Nothing.”

He didn’t understand why Taeyeon had entered naked — well, it was a bathroom, so being naked was normal — and was now holding him in the tub. But it was more comfortable than leaning against the hard porcelain, so Soohyun slowly relaxed against him. His arms floated up, and Taeyeon chuckled before grabbing his bruised wrist.

“Fuck, this kid’s skin…”

The chuckle disappeared, replaced by a tsk of annoyance.

But Seo Soohyun truly didn’t mind. He’d always bruised easily, so this was nothing new. Besides, if they were keeping track, Gi Taeyeon was the one who had left more marks on his body than Seo Jeonggyun. He seemed pleased with the marks on Soohyun’s backside, but now he was unhappy about a bruised wrist.

What’s the difference? Buttocks and wrist?

His trivial musing was short-lived. The feeling of Taeyeon’s fingers gently rubbing his skin was pleasant, and Soohyun leaned further against him.

Suddenly, he realized that this was the first time he’d shared a bath with someone. A strange excitement fluttered in his chest. It felt like he was finally experiencing something he’d always wanted to do as a child but never could.

“Director, I suddenly feel like I’m at a public bathhouse.”

A chuckle sounded above his head, but Seo Soohyun continued undeterred.

“There weren’t any bathhouses in our town, so I’d have to go to the next town over to find one. But since it was just Mom, Grandma, and me, we never went. So I’d get envious when my friends talked about going to the bathhouse with their dads. Oh, I mean, going to the bathhouse with their dads.”

He’d never envied the presence of a father, since the love of his mother and grandmother was more than enough. He might have thought that way when he was very young, but by the time he was in lower elementary school, he was more curious about the bathhouse itself.

“Sometimes Mom and Grandma would go together, and they’d always come back saying how refreshing it was. So I was curious, but since I had no one to go with, I didn’t get my hopes up.”

He felt a bit awkward about going with friends.

Now that he was older, he could go alone, but since he’d always seen grandmothers going together, going to a bathhouse alone seemed pointless. That’s why he’d never been.

“But sitting here with you like this, I suddenly feel like I’m at a bathhouse. Even though I’ve never been, so I don’t really know.”

“Who goes to a bathhouse with a hairless dick?”

He had been excitedly sharing his feelings, only to be met with another sexual comment.

“That’s sexual harassment… Ah!”

He’d been about to point out that Taeyeon shouldn’t make such remarks, in case he said similar things to others.

“What are you going to do if an alpha does this to you?”

Seo Soohyun instinctively grabbed Taeyeon’s arm as he tilted his head back. Taeyeon was casually fondling his genitals, his expression as nonchalant as ever.

“Hngh…”

Seo Soohyun leaned his cheek against Taeyeon’s shoulder, letting out soft moans. Taeyeon’s hand was holding the back of his head, but Soohyun had no strength left, making leaning against him the best option. He had just been carried out of the bath, limp in Taeyeon’s arms. If he didn’t have something to hold on to, he might just slide to the floor.

“Fuzz—face is waterlogged.”

Taeyeon chuckled as Soohyun panted from exhaustion. Soohyun narrowed his eyes at him. He was moaning and weak because Taeyeon had been relentlessly teasing him in the tub. Yet, the culprit was making jokes, which understandably irritated him.

“It’s because, hngh, you keep, teasing me.”

“Who calls getting their dick played with teasing? You were loving it.”

“You didn’t, hng, ask for permission to touch me!”

Taeyeon had grabbed his genitals without warning, making comments about his “hairless dick.” And to top it off, he had asked what Soohyun would do if an alpha did the same, which was blatant harassment.

“You were begging for more later.”

Taeyeon mimicked Soohyun’s tone, a playful smirk on his face. Because their eyes were locked, Soohyun could see his teasing expression clearly. The problem was that it wasn’t entirely untrue, making it hard to deny.

“Would you have begged if it was someone else?”

Taeyeon’s playful teasing suddenly shifted. He frowned, as if a certain thought had crossed his mind, and asked a sharp question. Soohyun, still frustrated at being unable to deny Taeyeon’s earlier comment, shook his head.

He had gone along with it because he and Taeyeon had an agreement, and they had been intimate before. If it had been anyone else, he would have crushed their balls and called the police. He still clearly remembered the lesson about how even alphas couldn’t move if their genitals were squeezed.

“Good boy.”

Taeyeon praised him in a low voice and squeezed his buttocks. It was a strange compliment.

Speaking of, is Director okay? Soohyun glanced down, but being held like a koala against Taeyeon made it difficult to check. They hadn’t actually had sex, so unlike him, Taeyeon wouldn’t have ejaculated.

He was gently placed on the vanity counter. He had been wrapped in a bathrobe after leaving the tub, so his body was mostly dry. However, the robe, only loosely tied, had already slipped open, rendering it useless. It only served as a soft cushion between Seo Soohyun’s backside and the cold marble.

“Just like him, you even look alike.”

“Stop touching… hngh…”

The vanity counter, designed for Taeyeon’s height, was a bit too high for Seo Soohyun. His feet dangled, unable to reach the floor even when he stretched his toes. His backside barely rested on the edge.

He was already feeling weak after having ejaculated twice from Taeyeon’s teasing. Now, in this precarious position, having his genitals grabbed again made his shoulders tremble.

“Why, don’t touch?”

“Ah!”

“This is why I brought you out here. I couldn’t see Soohyun’s pretty white dick in the bath.”

Seo Soohyun instinctively looked down. Just as Taeyeon had said, under the bright lights, his penis, held in Taeyeon’s hand, was clearly visible. In the bath, his body had been submerged, and the water had distorted the view, but now its shape and color were distinct.

Held between calloused fingers, his penis slowly hardened as Taeyeon stroked it. Blood rushed to the tip, turning it a rosy pink.

“Haa, hngh…”

His toes curled involuntarily.

“Ah…”

Unconsciously, he gripped the edge of the counter. His hand, hidden under the bathrobe, was clenched so tightly that the tendons stood out.

“D-Director, hngh, s-stop…”

“Don’t touch?”

Seo Soohyun bit his lip and nodded. The feeling of Taeyeon’s hand gently stroking his already sensitive penis was pleasant, but he had a premonition that things were about to escalate beyond his control.

“Why? Fuzz—face’s dick is cute, I want to look at it.”

“Hng!”

“If you don’t like me touching it, should I suck it instead?”

The unexpected question made Soohyun’s eyes widen.

“Why would you suck it?”

As a male omega, he knew how good it felt to have his genitals stimulated. He might not have much experience, but he knew how to masturbate. But why suck it? He could understand stroking it like Taeyeon was doing now, but the act of sucking was something he’d never even considered.

At his surprised question, Taeyeon propped his left hand beside Soohyun’s thigh and tilted his head.

“Well, I’ve only ever received, never given… ”

His fingers continued to caress Soohyun’s penis as he spoke, drawing a low moan.

“I’m kind of curious about how Seo Soohyun’s dick tastes.”

“I’m not, hngh, curious about Director’s dick… Ah!”

He tried to refuse, sensing that if he gave in now, there would come a day when he’d be sucking Taeyeon’s penis. But Taeyeon smirked and bent down, extending his tongue to lick the rosy tip of Soohyun’s penis.

“D-Director, hngh, d-don’t!”

Seo Soohyun frantically reached out to push Taeyeon’s head away. His penis was already extremely sensitive, and the feeling of a warm, wet tongue against the most sensitive part of his body sent shivers down his spine. The unfamiliar sensation filled him with a mixture of fear and excitement.

“Release some pheromones. It just tastes like water.”

“I was, hngh, in the water until just now… Hngh, uh!”

Taeyeon, who had been speaking with his lips pressed against Soohyun’s glans, opened his mouth and slowly engulfed the hardened penis.

“Ahngh, uh, w-weird… Ah!”

Seo Soohyun reflexively moved the hand he’d been using to push Taeyeon’s head away and placed it behind him for support. His waist and elbows went weak, and he felt like he would fall backwards. He brought his other hand up to stifle his moans, but he couldn’t quite cover his mouth. He just pressed the back of his hand against his lips, trembling.

“Haa, hngh…”

As his penis was enveloped by warm, wet flesh for the first time, an indescribable sensation flooded his brain. The feeling of friction against the moist, warm lining was overwhelming, and Taeyeon was even moving his tongue. The sensation of a thick, soft muscle sucking and sliding down his shaft sent waves of both revulsion and pleasure through him. The sucking pressure made his hips tremble.

“Ahng, hngh, uh!”

Overwhelmed, he lowered his head, tears welling in his eyes. His gaze met Taeyeon’s as he looked up at him. At that moment, Seo Soohyun gasped. An inexplicable sense of danger washed over him.

“D-Director, hngh, stop…”

He struggled, kicking his legs, but it was useless.

He was practically trapped in Taeyeon’s embrace. The slight gap created by Taeyeon bending down to suck his penis offered little room to maneuver. Taeyeon wouldn’t be pushed away by a few weak kicks from someone who had lost all their strength. Instead of retreating, Taeyeon moved his head even more deliberately.

“Haa, hngh, uhng…”

Seo Soohyun let out a shaky breath. The pleasure intensifying in his groin was one thing, but Taeyeon’s face was incredibly stimulating. His slightly furrowed brows and firm jaw reminded him of Taeyeon during sex. As that realization hit him, pheromones he hadn’t been able to control poured out. Even Seo Soohyun, who usually couldn’t sense his own pheromones, could faintly smell them.

“D-Director.”

His dangling legs straightened, toes curling repeatedly. Feeling close to ejaculation, Seo Soohyun hurriedly grabbed Taeyeon’s hair. No matter how overwhelmed with pleasure he was, ejaculating in Taeyeon’s mouth was out of the question.

“Haa, why.”

Taeyeon’s voice, lower than usual, as if his throat was scratchy, sent a chill down Soohyun’s spine. Or perhaps it was the lingering feeling of Taeyeon’s tongue after he’d licked his glans.

“Stop, hngh, stop sucking. I’m, I’m going to…”

“That’s why I’m sucking it, boss.”

As if unfazed by the awkward position, Taeyeon straightened up, holding his hard penis in one hand as he slowly lowered his lips. His thin lips trailed down the smooth shaft to his equally rosy testicles.

“Uh! No, hngh, stop, ah!”

Just as Soohyun was trying to pull Taeyeon’s face away from between his legs, Taeyeon let out a low chuckle and finally sat up. Soohyun blushed, feeling as if his secret had been exposed.

“Baby.”

“Ahngh!”

“That’s why I told you to stop.”

Taeyeon openly rubbed the bathrobe Soohyun was sitting on. The fabric, which should have been dry and fluffy, was soaked.

“That’s not… hngh, I really told you to stop because I was going to cum in your mouth… uh!”

Before he could finish, an arm wrapped around his waist, and his feet touched the floor. In a matter of seconds, he was turned to face the mirrored wall.

“Then what’s this?”

“Ahng…”

Before he could turn around in surprise, fingers pushed into his wet hole. His upper body, leaning against the vanity, lurched forward.

Seo Soohyun quickly grabbed the bathrobe. Since the moment he’d been placed on the vanity, the robe had been slipping off, and when Taeyeon lifted him away, it had stayed behind.

Far from the sink, with nothing to hold on to, the only thing he could grab was the bathrobe caught between him and the vanity.

“You’re so wet from wanting to eat my dick. It’s so soaked I’d have a puddle on the floor if it wasn’t for the robe. Does being fuzz—face mean all the water you drink comes out of your hole?”

“Hngh, Director, th…”

Despite the crude teasing, Seo Soohyun stubbornly continued. He was wet because of Taeyeon, not himself. Strictly speaking, it was his body, so his own feelings played a part, but it wouldn’t have happened if Taeyeon hadn’t been playing with his penis from the moment they were in the bath.

“Yes, Director, what?”

Gi Taeyeon pushed another finger inside, ignoring Soohyun’s protest. His own penis had been hard since the bath, but he knew how to make sex more enjoyable. That’s why he’d gone so far as to touch, and even suck, the omega’s dick, something he usually wouldn’t bother with.

Not bad, actually.

He hadn’t understood why omegas would get hard from sucking his dick, but now he had a vague idea. Soohyun’s flustered face as he struggled to contain his arousal was quite a sight.

“You made me, uh, aroused.”

Gi Taeyeon scissored his fingers, spreading them inside Soohyun, and looked at him in the mirror. He’d thought Soohyun was completely lost in pleasure because of the overflowing pheromones, but apparently he was indignant enough to struggle to look at Taeyeon, his face flushed with frustration.

“Oh, I made you aroused?”

“Uh-huh, uh… Ahngh!”

Soohyun was aroused. He’d been releasing pheromones ever since Taeyeon touched him in the bath.

Taeyeon slowly rubbed against the slick inner walls, loosened by the combination of arousal and pheromones, then spread his index and middle fingers wide to accommodate his ring finger. With a twist of his wrist, he thrust it inside. It wasn’t difficult.

“Hngh!”

“When will our Soohyun finally grow up? Pissing himself before we even get to the bedroom… Should I put you in diapers?”

“No, hngh, no. Director, th-ah!”

Seo Soohyun was about to argue that it was Taeyeon’s fault when he pushed his pinky finger inside and started pumping his hand.

“Ahngh, hngh, hng! Uhng!”

Soohyun whimpered, and fluids splattered.

He’d heard that recessive omegas were physically closer to betas, but Soohyun was surprisingly wet for a recessive. He claimed to be recessive himself, and his faint pheromones suggested he wasn’t even a normal omega, yet his body was incredibly responsive. Of course, Gi Taeyeon wasn’t complaining.

“What’s no…?”

Taeyeon drew out the last word and grabbed Soohyun’s plump buttock with his free hand.

“Hng!”

Soohyun’s slender waist, indented at the sides, trembled visibly.

“You’re incredibly turned on right now.”

Taeyeon chuckled and withdrew his hand, a string of thick fluid stretching between his fingers.

“Haa, ha, haa…”

“Soohyun.”

At the sound of his name, Seo Soohyun managed to lift his head. He didn’t have the strength to tilt it back, so he stared blankly ahead. Thanks to the mirror, he could see Taeyeon’s face without turning around.

“Do you like it when I grab your ass?”

“Hngh…”

Every time Taeyeon squeezed his buttock, Soohyun’s stomach tightened, and his hips twitched. Even in his dazed state, he tried to find an answer.

“I think so… Ah!”

“What about this?”

Smack!

“Ahngh! Hngh, hngh… I, I don’t know.”

It was stimulating when Taeyeon squeezed his buttocks hard. But he still wasn’t sure if he liked being spanked. It didn’t feel bad, but he questioned whether he could enjoy pain.

Apparently unsatisfied with his honest answer, Taeyeon twisted his lips into a displeased expression.

“Your hole is twitching, and you don’t know?”

“Ahngh, uh…”

“Touch it yourself and check.”

Taeyeon guided Soohyun’s limp arm. Soohyun instinctively grabbed his own buttock. Taeyeon positioned his hand so that his index finger could reach his entrance, allowing Soohyun to easily touch the wet, twitching hole.

“Uh…”

Despite shrinking back, Soohyun didn’t pull his hand away. It was his first time touching himself like this, piquing his curiosity. More than that, rubbing the twitching folds sent a languid wave of pleasure through him.

“Put your finger inside.”

“Ah!”

Taeyeon placed his hand over Soohyun’s and applied pressure. Soohyun’s fingertip slipped inside. He felt a wet, soft sensation.

“Hngh, weird…”

Taeyeon watched as Soohyun wiggled his finger in the tight opening. He firmly held Soohyun’s wrist to prevent him from pulling away and spanked his other buttock.

Smack!

“Hng! Ahngh, hngh…”

Taeyeon took in the sight of the reddened flesh and the desperately twitching hole. The area around the entrance was flushed, likely from his rough fingering earlier.

He stared at the gushing hole, then bent down towards Soohyun.

“Do you understand now?”

Seo Soohyun nodded, tears streaming down his face. How could he not? The moment he was spanked, his entrance tightened, and fluids gushed out. Being hit unexpectedly might have caused his body to tense up, but that didn’t explain the sudden surge of wetness.

“Hngh, I want to…”

More than anything, being spanked by Taeyeon had aroused him.

“What do you want to do?”

Taeyeon asked in a leisurely tone. He was clearly teasing him, knowing the answer.

“Sex with you, hngh…”

Seo Soohyun confessed without shame. It might be wrong to be consumed by lust, but it wasn’t like he was constantly thinking about sex… When he felt like this, it was better to be honest.

As long as he wasn’t hurting anyone or forcing himself on them, being honest in a consensual relationship was better than being coy.

“Spread your legs so I can get a good look.”

Gi Taeyeon gave the blatant command. It was a vulgar order, but since Soohyun had no experience with anyone other than Taeyeon, he assumed this was normal and obediently moved his hand. He spread his buttocks as instructed. Unlike before, he felt a slight sense of shame, but sex itself was an intimate act.

“Ha.”

Taeyeon watched him, letting out a short chuckle, then rubbed his erect penis against Soohyun’s entrance. He was pleased with Soohyun’s obedience, but a strange, uncomfortable feeling crept into his heart.

The reason was obvious. The thought of Soohyun doing this with someone else disgusted him. He was certain Soohyun would have acted the same way with anyone else if Taeyeon hadn’t been the one to initiate.

No. There’s no way he’d be with anyone else.

Taeyeon teased Soohyun, rubbing his glans against the puckered entrance a few more times before thrusting inside.

“Ah! Ahngh!”

“Haa…”

He’d been holding back for a while, so he felt himself getting close, but he wasn’t about to cum this early. Soohyun seemed to be on the verge as well.

Taeyeon moved deliberately slowly. The soft inner walls clenched and unclenched around his penis. Soohyun, apparently struggling to support his weight, had shifted his position, his elbows now propped on the vanity. Taeyeon bent down and inhaled the faint scent of cherries from Soohyun’s slender neck.

Taeyeon knew he was the only one who could smell this faint scent. Any other omega or alpha would only smell Taeyeon’s pheromones on Soohyun, not the underlying cherry scent.

It wasn’t that Taeyeon had intentionally doused Soohyun with his pheromones. It was simply a consequence of the naive omega living in his, an alpha’s, territory. Even though omegas didn’t actively release pheromones in everyday life, living in the same space inevitably led to their scents mingling.

And, of course, having sex like this contributed as well.

“Hngh, hngh, uh…”

Thrusting his penis deep inside, Taeyeon straightened up and slipped his arm under Soohyun’s body, lifting his torso without warning.

“Ah! Ahngh…”

Soohyun struggled as the penetration deepened. Taeyeon cursed under his breath at the feeling of his penis being squeezed. A blue vein throbbed on his temple.

“Ha…”

Supporting Soohyun with one arm, Taeyeon began to move his hips. He knew Soohyun had been on his tiptoes since he’d bent him over the vanity, but his movements showed no hesitation.

“Director, hngh, hngh, s-slow… Ah!”

“When am I supposed to cum if I fuck slowly?”

He deftly pinched and rolled Soohyun’s nipple, already swollen from his earlier teasing in the bath, between his fingers as he replied. Soohyun was sensitive everywhere, but his inverted nipples were especially so. As Taeyeon roughly rubbed the swollen nub, the flesh around his penis quivered, milking him.

“Ahngh! Too, fast… Uhng!”

Taeyeon nibbled on Soohyun’s neck and looked at his reflection in the mirror. With every thrust, Soohyun’s pale face flushed, the mole on his cheek trembling slightly. He was breathing heavily.

“Fuzz—face.”

“Hngh, hngh…”

“I have to know, ha, what your face looks like when you cum.”

The hand that had been tormenting Soohyun’s nipple moved to his cheek. Only then did Soohyun notice the mirror in front of him. Even as pleasure melted his brain, he could see his and Taeyeon’s reflections in his blurred vision. The reality of their animalistic coupling hit him anew.

“Hngh, uh, aah!”

“Haha. Does seeing my face turn you on?”

It was closer to being aroused by Taeyeon’s face, but Soohyun was too overwhelmed to answer. Taeyeon’s penis withdrew slightly before thrusting back in, roughly grinding against his insides. The force of the thrusts left Soohyun gasping for breath, unable to moan. His stomach repeatedly brushed against the cold marble as Taeyeon ravaged him.

“Ha, Soohyun.”

“Ahngh, uh!”

“Should we, uh, do it outside next time?”

Taeyeon leaned down and whispered in his ear. The brush of his lips against his cheek sent a shiver down Soohyun’s spine.

“Our fuzz—face is a pervert who gets off on getting spanked…”

“N-no, hngh!”

“I bet you’d be fucking hot even outside. Right?”

Seo Soohyun shook his head. He wanted to cover Taeyeon’s mouth and stop the vulgar words, but he was too weak, and tears welled up in his eyes.

“Director, hngh, hngh, aah…”

“Yes, why? Want to do it outside?”

“N-no… I, I want to kiss.”

He managed to turn his head, and their eyes met. Taeyeon muttered “fuck” under his breath and thrust his tongue into Soohyun’s mouth.

“Uhng…”

The already full feeling in his gut intensified as Taeyeon’s penis hardened further. Even knowing Taeyeon was about to cum inside him, Soohyun leaned against him. He loved the feeling of their bodies pressed together, their tongues intertwined. He clumsily sucked on Taeyeon’s tongue, and Taeyeon thrust hard again.

“Ahngh! Hng…”

Seo Soohyun came as well, his mind completely blank. Whether from the restricted breathing or the orgasm, his eyes rolled back. His tiptoes, barely supporting him, would have given way long ago if it weren’t for Taeyeon’s arm around his chest.

He couldn’t feel his toes or fingers.

“Uhng, uh, haa…”

He could only moan as Taeyeon’s penis slowly withdrew, pulling at his insides.

“Ha…”

Taeyeon sighed contentedly and casually brushed his hair back. He pulled Soohyun’s swollen buttocks apart, revealing the semen leaking from the tight entrance. Ignoring the trembling of Soohyun’s thighs, still on tiptoe, he pressed his hardening penis against the opening again.

Thud!

“Ahngh!”

Having already stretched it once, penetration was easier this time.

“Huh.”

Moving his hips languidly, he chuckled and licked his lips.

“Haa, uh, faster…”

Apparently, Soohyun was so desperate that he started moving his hips on his own.

“You really have no fear, do you?”

Taeyeon watched him for a moment, then let out a sardonic chuckle and grabbed Soohyun’s slender waist. His hand, with its throbbing blue veins, looked menacing.

“Seo Soohyun.”

“Ahngh, hngh, hng!”

The slick walls clung to his penis, hindering his movements, but Taeyeon continued thrusting roughly, his voice sharp.

“If you beg like this, to someone else…”

“Hngh, hng, uh! Ahng! Aah!”

“Then, haa…”

“Ah! Uhng!”

“You’ll really be in trouble.”

He had to give proper sex education while he was at it.

🍑

Am I too promiscuous?

Seo Soohyun pondered seriously as he watered the plants. Even as droplets of water collected on the green leaves, forming perfect circles, he couldn’t appreciate the sight. He knew he should water his plants with care, but his mind was preoccupied.

“Haa…”

His eyes checked the dampness of the soil, but his mind was filled with unanswered questions. He continued watering, lost in thought.

He couldn’t tell if he was just naturally lustful or if this was normal for an omega.

It was especially confusing because he’d been intimate with Taeyeon so frequently lately. He hadn’t kept track of how often they had sex, so the exact number was unclear, but it couldn’t be just his imagination that they were doing it frequently. Just yesterday, they’d gone at it until he lost consciousness.

He had never refused, as it was pleasurable. But he suddenly wondered if this was the norm.

“I don’t think so…”

Taeyeon was a dominant alpha, so his high libido was understandable. But Soohyun was a recessive omega. Could he really be this aroused?

After confirming that the dry soil had absorbed enough water, Soohyun turned off the hose. He wasn’t lazy enough to leave the hose lying around, so he carefully coiled it as he continued his contemplation.

“Is it because of Director’s pheromones?”

Omegas were inherently vulnerable to alpha pheromones. And he was a recessive omega, even weaker than a normal one. It wasn’t strange that he was susceptible to a dominant alpha’s pheromones.

Come to think of it, Taeyeon’s pheromones, which he’d initially found repulsive, smelling like strong alcohol, had become somewhat familiar. He still thought they smelled like alcohol, but like the village elders said, even soju could taste sweet after a while. He might even be starting to find the strong scent sweet. Lately, when Taeyeon’s pheromones washed over him, he felt the urge to inhale them deeper.

Director’s pheromones don’t smell like soju, though…

But strong liquor and soju were both alcohol, so they were similar enough.

Seo Soohyun placed the coiled hose near the faucet and stretched his back. He had come to the garden to water the plants and plant cabbage seedlings.

After checking on the thriving deodeok and doraji plants, he took off his gloves and walked over to the area where he’d be planting the cabbage.

“I wonder if they’ll grow well.”

He patted the soil with his bare hands, the damp earth clinging to his palms. He didn’t mind getting his hands dirty. He was used to it. In fact, he didn’t understand people who made a fuss about a little dirt. It would all come off with a wash.

Besides, the smell of damp earth calmed him. It might not be a fresh scent, but the unique earthy aroma always brought him a sense of peace.

“I hope they grow well.”

He wasn’t sure if he’d be the one harvesting these plants, but he still hoped they would thrive.

He had a good feeling about it. He’d encountered several earthworms while planting the deodeok and doraji roots last time, and again today while planting the cabbage seedlings. The presence of earthworms meant the soil was healthy. As long as he watered them regularly and weeded diligently, they should grow well on their own.

I should stir-fry the cabbage with tuna when I harvest it. Adding some chopped chili peppers will make it spicy and delicious.

Seo Soohyun stood up, imagining the uncertain future.

At least working in the garden, surrounded by the smell of earth, had cleared his mind of some of his lewd thoughts.

I really am too promiscuous.

Soohyun sighed and washed his hands. He’d only planted cabbage seedlings and watered the plants, so instead of showering at home, he decided to visit Taeyeon’s office.

After thoroughly washing his hands in the private bathroom attached to Taeyeon’s office, rather than the public restroom, he glanced up at the mirror. Even with the wide-brimmed black hat he’d bought to protect himself from the sun, his flushed cheeks were noticeable. The lady who told him that young people these days wore these hats while gardening wasn’t wrong. Even with the wide brim and the string tied tightly under his chin, creating a deeper shade, his blush was still visible.

Seo Soohyun scrubbed his soapy hands vigorously as if trying to erase the images that had just flashed through his mind.

It all started in Taeyeon’s office.

“It’s been a while, Mr. Soohyun. The Director isn’t here right now. Should I call him? He’s out on business, so he might not answer right away…”

“It’s okay. I’ll contact him later.”

“Alright. Please make yourself comfortable.”

Since he visited often, the employees on this floor didn’t pay him much attention.

Soohyun bowed to the ordinary-looking employees, unlike his uncles, and opened the door to Taeyeon’s office.

I should have called him beforehand…

Since he’d come without warning, Taeyeon wasn’t there.

He considered calling Taeyeon, then put his phone down. Even though he didn’t know exactly what Taeyeon did, he could guess what he was doing if he wasn’t in his office. Taeyeon probably wouldn’t answer his call, and it would take a while for him to check his messages, so it was better to contact him later.

I’ll wait for about thirty minutes, then call him. If he doesn’t answer, I’ll just go home.

He had come excitedly, wanting to boast about how well the deodeok and doraji were growing, but he could have just as easily told Taeyeon at dinner.

The office was quiet. He’d heard that many newly constructed buildings had poor soundproofing, but this building seemed sturdy, blocking out all external noise. Boredom quickly set in, and Seo Soohyun looked around. The familiar office held nothing of interest, but it was better than just sitting there doing nothing.

Should I look outside?

He suddenly realized he’d never looked out the window in Taeyeon’s office before.

He stood up and walked towards Taeyeon’s desk.

Wow…

He’d guessed the large windows offered a view, and he was right. The ground was clearly visible below. He wasn’t afraid of heights, so it wasn’t scary. Seo Soohyun spent a while watching the cars and people moving busily below.

He was so engrossed in the mundane scene that he almost forgot about calling Taeyeon. Just as he turned around, the neatly organized desk and Taeyeon’s chair caught his eye. The memory of what they’d done here a few days ago flooded his mind.

“Don’t get it hard. Soohyun’s hole is for filling, what if it gets scratched?”

“Hng, uh…”

He’d opened his mouth as wide as he could, like when he had his wisdom teeth removed, but Taeyeon’s fingers still intruded, as if dissatisfied.

“Haa, move your tongue.”

Seo Soohyun had wiggled his tongue. It could only move from side to side, but the large, hard flesh filling his mouth pressed against it, making it slide and lick the tip.

Knock, knock.

He’d been kneeling under the desk when the unexpected knock startled him. He made eye contact with Taeyeon, who smirked and spoke softly.

“Come in.”

“Uh…”

He wanted to hide his head, but Taeyeon’s hand was firmly gripping the back of his head.

What do I do? Seo Soohyun wiggled his toes inside his sneakers, frozen in place.

As he struggled to decide what to do, saliva he hadn’t been able to swallow dribbled from his open mouth. He reflexively tightened his lips, and the hand on the back of his head moved to gently caress his neck.

“What is it?”

“It’s about the Sunjae deal. They just called…”

Even though he could clearly hear the other person’s voice, he couldn’t process the words. He barely registered that it was Taeyeon’s beta secretary. Fortunately, the secretary didn’t seem to notice the faint scent of pheromones in the air.

Emboldened, Seo Soohyun moved his head slowly, mimicking what Taeyeon had done to him. He felt as if the large object would lodge in his throat, making him choke. But since he hadn’t swallowed much, he managed to avoid that mishap. His soft moans were masked by Taeyeon’s voice.

“This is the first time I’ve received such a clumsy blowjob. When are you going to open your throat for me?”

“Cough, cough!”

Only after he heard Taeyeon’s low chuckle did Seo Soohyun realize they were alone. The sudden withdrawal of Taeyeon’s penis allowed air into his mouth, triggering a coughing fit. Even as Taeyeon blatantly rubbed his wet glans against his lips, Soohyun was too busy gasping for breath to stop him.

“Your face is pretty hot, though.”

“Haa, hngh…”

“Soohyun. Open up.”

Seo Soohyun obediently opened his mouth at Taeyeon’s drawn-out command. The glans pressed down on his tongue, and Taeyeon ejaculated. Before Soohyun could process what was happening, a hand under his chin tilted his head back, and the thick fluid flowed down his throat.

“Hngh, cough!”

Taeyeon didn’t stop there. As Soohyun coughed and reflexively turned his head, Taeyeon rubbed his semen-covered penis against his flushed cheek.

“When will you grow up? Getting messy like this.”

Then, as if nothing had happened, he adjusted his pants, picked up Soohyun, and carried him to the bathroom to wash his face. Soohyun started crying again. Taeyeon’s large hand roughly scrubbed his face with water, stinging his eyes.

And coincidentally, this was the same sink where Taeyeon had washed his face.

“Stop thinking about it.”

The memory made his cheeks flush even deeper.

Seo Soohyun closed his eyes, shook his head, and continued washing his hands. As he meticulously cleaned his fingers and under his nails, the thoughts he’d been trying to suppress returned.

Why did I do that? Not even at home, but in the office… He couldn’t understand himself. It was an act he could only attribute to his own promiscuity.

This is all Director’s fault.

He blamed Taeyeon and turned off the faucet. He decided to go home instead of waiting for Taeyeon, knowing he’d be teased about his flushed cheeks.

Just as he finished drying his hands with a paper towel and slightly opened the door, he heard the door open from the other side.

Is Director back?

He was wondering when he could leave without looking suspicious when he heard an unexpected voice.

“I was just wondering when I’d be able to see you. Haha.”

It was Seo Jeonggyun.

What’s he doing here? Did Director finally catch him? He said Jeonggyun slipped away last time…

Seo Soohyun held his breath and pressed himself against the wall beside the door. He heard footsteps approaching, then the sound of someone sitting on the sofa. Judging by the weight, it was definitely Taeyeon.

“Why did you come looking for me?”

Another set of footsteps followed.

“Well, I was wondering if you could… lend me a bit more money.”

The word “money” reminded Seo Soohyun that Taeyeon was also a loan shark.

“I see you have that kind of relationship with my son… I’m not asking for free, I’ll definitely pay you back.”

He had assumed Jeonggyun was here to sell the land, but the conversation was taking a strange turn.

What’s going on? He was about to gulp and focus on the conversation when a low chuckle reached his ears. It was a cold, mocking laugh, one he’d never heard from Taeyeon before.

“What kind of relationship do I have with him that makes you bring him up in this matter?”

“You care for him, don’t you?”

Since Jeonggyun had mentioned his son, the “him” Taeyeon referred to must be Soohyun.

Soohyun held his breath, hoping Taeyeon wouldn’t hear his racing heart. But before he could brace himself, Taeyeon delivered the final blow.

“I didn’t expect to get ghosted by our fuzz—face, but that’s a hefty price to ask for a fuck.”

Soohyun exhaled slowly, the air escaping his lips.

He wasn’t particularly hurt by Taeyeon’s words. Taeyeon was foul-mouthed and frequently made sexual remarks, so he took the crude term in stride. It was a new word for him, but based on Taeyeon’s usual behavior, he could easily understand the nuance.

“P-price?”

Jeonggyun’s flustered voice followed.

Hearing that, Seo Soohyun quietly backed away. The bathroom was located near the seating area. The office itself was spacious, so even though the bathroom was close, it was far enough that they wouldn’t hear him unless he made a loud noise. Still, he was anxious about being caught eavesdropping.

What if Director finds out I left the door slightly open?

But it was too late to close the door now. The office was so quiet that even the slightest sound would alert Taeyeon.

Seo Soohyun gave up on closing the door and simply moved further away.

“He’s the one fucking me, and his father is asking for money in return? That’s asking for a price, isn’t it? Right, boss?”

“That’s not what I meant…”

“Then keep talking.”

Silence followed Taeyeon’s sarcastic remark.

What should I do? He was already overwhelmed by Jeonggyun’s presence, but now he was also dreading facing Taeyeon. He had no time to process the conversation. He needed to deal with the immediate problem at hand.

He must not know I’m here. Or maybe his secretary stepped out?

If Taeyeon had known he was here, he wouldn’t have let Jeonggyun in. That meant Taeyeon was unaware of his presence.

Should I sneak out?

But sneaking out was impossible. The best option was to leave casually while Taeyeon was occupied. However, the chances of Taeyeon leaving again after just returning from work were slim, and even if he managed to sneak out, the secretary might mention him to Taeyeon.

“I just thought since you favor my son, you might be willing to help me out a little…”

“Ha…”

Taeyeon sighed at Jeonggyun’s rambling. The sound of him standing up from the sofa broke the silence.

“So.”

Footsteps moved forward, then another set of footsteps retreated slightly.

“Did I marry Seo Soohyun? Or what?”

At the direct mention of his name, Seo Soohyun instinctively flinched.

“Are you my father-in-law or something?”

He couldn’t see Taeyeon, only hear his voice. But he could clearly sense Taeyeon’s annoyance, and Soohyun bit the inside of his cheek.

“Or do I look that easy to you?”

“I didn’t mean it that way…”

“Did you lose your brain gambling so much that you can’t understand the situation?”

“H-how did you…”

Gambling? Seo Soohyun blinked in surprise. He remembered his grandmother’s warning to never associate with gamblers. It was common sense, even without her advice. Gambling was a sure path to ruin.

Then Grandma’s property…

Jeonggyun might have already sold the land and gambled away the money.

“How did I know, boss? You were such a diligent customer, borrowing my money and paying interest regularly, but lately you can’t even pay back a measly sum. Did you think I wouldn’t notice?”

Oh… Seo Soohyun’s lips parted. This was the first time he’d heard that Jeonggyun was Taeyeon’s customer.

“You should be grateful I lent you millions with that tiny piece of land as collateral. And you, a penniless bastard, want to borrow more? ”

“…”

“Did you think I’d just hand over the money because we’re fucking? Coming all the way here without even making an appointment.”

A low voice followed the scathing question.

“Well, I’ve never not given anything to the omegas I’ve fucked.”

Seo Soohyun fidgeted with his fingernails as Taeyeon’s voice trailed off. His hands, recently washed, were free of dirt, yet they felt strangely rough. It must be because he’d heard Taeyeon talk about other omegas.

He’d always known, subconsciously, that Taeyeon was more experienced than him, but it suddenly dampened his mood. Perhaps it wasn’t his hands that felt rough, but his heart.

“That doesn’t mean you can demand payment for Seo Soohyun from me.”

Even though he could sense Taeyeon’s familiar pheromones, his heart remained heavy.

“I-I’m sorry, Director. I, I must have lost my mind for a moment. And the interest! I’ll definitely pay it back this week.”

Jeonggyun seemed to have sensed the pheromones as well, clearing his throat before changing his tone submissively.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

“Huh?”

Seo Soohyun realized their conversation was coming to an end.

What do I do? There was no escape. He anxiously bit his lip and looked around, noticing the layout of the bathroom. The shower stall was located further inside, past the sink where he was standing.

I’ve never heard Director showering…

He could pretend he’d been showering while Taeyeon was talking to Jeonggyun. Sneaking out was impossible, so he had to at least hide the fact that he’d been eavesdropping.

Ignoring his guilt, Soohyun carefully walked towards the shower stall. He closed the door behind him, and the sounds from outside were muffled.

I can’t just pretend to shower, I have to actually do it.

Seo Soohyun took off his hat and clothes, neatly folding them, and stepped into the shower. He turned on the water.

“…”

He waited for a while, holding his breath, worried that the sound of the water would be heard outside, but he didn’t sense anyone approaching.

Thank goodness.

Relieved, he stepped under the spray. Warm water cascaded over his hair and body.

Now that he had a plausible excuse, the conversation he’d overheard replayed in his mind. He couldn’t remember the exact words, but the gist of it was clear.

Seo Soohyun took a deep breath and pieced together the conversation.

The first thing that came to mind was Taeyeon’s loan sharking business. Jeonggyun’s request for more money and Taeyeon’s comment about the “tiny piece of land” suggested that Jeonggyun had used the land deed as collateral.

But why didn’t he tell me?

He hadn’t heard anything about this. All Taeyeon had said was that he’d bring Jeonggyun to him.

And Seo Soohyun had believed him. He needed the land rights, so he’d naturally assumed Taeyeon would capture Jeonggyun, return the rights to him, and then legally purchase the land.

But the more he thought about their conversation, the more certain he became that Jeonggyun had transferred the land rights to Taeyeon. He didn’t know much about loans, but the connection between land and collateral bothered him.

If he used Grandma’s land as collateral…

It made sense. If Jeonggyun was really gambling, he’d be desperate enough to do something like that.

He couldn’t be any more disappointed in Jeonggyun. Disappointment stemmed from expectation, and since he’d never expected Jeonggyun to act like a father, there was no reason to be disappointed.

But it was different with Gi Taeyeon.
