Correction Chapter 23

Knotting….

Gasping for breath under the increasing pressure, Jungmin abruptly came to his senses and shook his head vehemently, expressing his absolute refusal. However, Joohwan stroked Jungmin’s hair, kissed his forehead, and moved slowly… then increasingly faster. The pace was incomparable to before, making it difficult for Jungmin to keep up. He continued to express his refusal, barely managing to voice,

“Stop it! Don’t!! No!”

“That’s right. Take it well. That’s how you get pregnant.”

“Kim Joohwan! Stop it!!”

“…It’s already too late.”

Panting, Joohwan laughed. Then, as if time had stopped, Joohwan’s movements ceased, and a hot sensation spread inside. Jungmin shuddered at the sickening feeling and screamed.

“Stop. Stop it.”

The feeble resistance was pitifully meaningless. As the climax ended, a swelling began inside. Jungmin was more shocked by the fact that Kim Joohwan had knotted him than the pain of his body being torn apart, rendering him speechless. Joohwan kissed Jungmin’s lips as he stared blankly, as if time had stopped.

“Does it hurt? Bear with it for a bit.”

Joohwan caressed Jungmin’s stomach.

“That way my seed can settle. Around here, right? Sunbae’s womb. I hope the baby grows well.”

Tears welled up in Jungmin’s eyes. His resigned gaze seemed to focus on nothing, but Joohwan was satisfied with the sight.

“How are you going to explain this to Shinwoo sunbae now? Whether you become an omega or an alpha, I’m the one who took you first. Well, it can’t be helped. If Shinwoo sunbae throws you away, come to me. I’ll take responsibility.”

Everything was hell, everything was agony. Jungmin seemed to give up on everything, letting his body go limp as he stared at the unfamiliar ceiling.

This pain, this agony… it’s alright if I become an omega. Even if Shinwoo hyung is disappointed in me… if I become an omega, I can endure it.

“You’ve become quiet, sunbae.”

As the knotting ended, the knot inside returned to its original form. Satisfied with Jungmin’s subsided struggles, Joohwan withdrew. Looking at the parted legs, he saw lost semen leaking out of the opening, having nowhere to go. A strange sense of accomplishment and satisfaction welled up, but Joohwan tried to ignore it.

He just thought it was a waste of semen. He wished even one had taken root inside.

Ah, yes. Maybe it really will work. If this person becomes an omega because of him, it might be interesting in its own way.

“Ugh!!”

Joohwan thrust his erect penis back into Jungmin with all his might. This, too, was an act for one single purpose.

✽✽✽

Once the backdoor had been breached, the second time was easy.

Around the time Jungmin’s cries of pain turned to pleasure, Joohwan smiled and thrust harder, urging Jungmin to become an omega.

Each time Joohwan knotted him, Jungmin screamed and tried to push him away, but Joohwan relentlessly knotted him three times.

To Jungmin’s outpouring of curses and hateful words, vowing to kill him and curse him forever, Joohwan simply told him to try if he could. He sarcastically taunted Jungmin, saying he should be grateful if he became an omega, boasting about being his first man, and further degrading him.

He relentlessly pushed Jungmin to the point of near-fainting. Looking down at the limp body, Joohwan clicked his tongue and pulled himself out. On the verge of his final release, he had no choice but to shake his penis over Jungmin’s face, splattering him with diluted semen.

“Haah.”

Seeing his semen seep into Jungmin’s slightly parted lips, Joohwan licked his own lips and kissed Jungmin.

He felt Jungmin’s body grow cold. Or rather, it returned to a normal body temperature. It was a sign that the fever of his first shift had ended.

Joohwan took a deep breath and smelled Jungmin’s scent.

“Disgusting alpha scent.”

Joohwan laughed. Nothing in the world ever goes his way. In the end, Jungmin’s desire to become an omega was not fulfilled; he had become the very alpha he desperately tried to avoid. That’s what made the world interesting, and life thrilling.

As soon as he realized Jungmin had presented as an alpha, his lust subsided instinctively, and his rut ended.

All interest in Jungmin vanished. Joohwan got out of bed without a second thought and looked at the clock. It was 7 PM, a full day after Jungmin had arrived.

Leaving Jungmin’s battered body uncovered, he went to the bathroom and washed himself. He needed to wash away the scent of another alpha. When he returned to the room, freshly cleaned, Jungmin had regained consciousness and was sitting on the bed, silently weeping.

Joohwan opened the window for ventilation and made a phone call. Soon, a knock came, and the butler brought in fresh clothes and water.

Joohwan approached Jungmin, tossed him the clothes, and said,

“Congratulations on becoming an alpha, sunbae.”

So, I became an alpha after all. The alpha I didn’t want to be.

“This outfit is a gift from me to commemorate your presentation.”

Jungmin threw a pillow at Joohwan with all his might, but Joohwan easily caught it and placed it on the floor.

“Liar. You piece of shit.”

“Not at all. It was probably too late. You were already becoming an alpha… I’m not God. No matter how much I fuck you, how could you become an omega if your body is already alpha?”

“Get out… Fuck. I don’t want to see your face anymore.”

“Leaving is fine, but this is my house. You’re the one who needs to leave, sunbae. My parents will be here soon… It’ll be troublesome if they find out I’ve been rolling around with an alpha. Ah, sunbae’s pheromones… It’s not a scent I particularly enjoy. I think we’re a terrible match.”

Kim Joohwan waved his hand and left the room. Glaring hatefully at his retreating figure, Jungmin got up.

“Ugh.”

His back, as well as his hole and insides, ached as if they were about to tear apart. It felt like he had been beaten repeatedly with a massive club. Unable to stand properly, let alone walk, he waited for the pain to subside.

Moving with difficulty, he picked up his crumpled underwear and hospital gown scattered on the floor and put them on. Reaching for the doorknob, he suddenly realized his ring was missing. He didn’t want to stay in this room any longer, but he couldn’t leave without the ring. He felt like he would crumble if he lost that too.

Jungmin went to where he thought the ring had rolled.

‘It definitely rolled under the bed….’

Pressing his aching body close to the floor, he peered into the darkness and spotted a single, glittering object. He reached for it without hesitation. Fortunately, the ring caught on his finger and returned to him.

He brushed off the dust and stared at the ring for a long time before putting it back on his ring finger.

“It’s okay.”

It wasn’t confirmed yet. Kim Joohwan could be wrong. Jungmin bit his lip and stood up again. Just then, he felt a strange sensation, something trickling inside him. Startled, he put his hand inside his underwear. A white liquid was dripping down.

It wasn’t pre-come. It was semen. Kim Joohwan’s semen. Goosebumps erupted all over his body. The memory of what Joohwan had done to him made him want to wash it all away, to scrub himself clean.

He wanted to erase all traces, but not here. He didn’t want to stay in Kim Joohwan’s place any longer. Jungmin quickly left the room.

“The car is ready.”

As if waiting, Joohwan’s butler was standing at the door. He didn’t want help, but he had no choice. He wouldn’t be any less pathetic by swallowing his pride.

Jungmin got into the waiting car and sank into the seat. This was the worst. It would probably be the worst day of his life.

✽✽✽

“He left in the car.”

“I see.”

Joohwan sipped his coffee and looked out the window. The car was already gone.

“I’ll have the room cleaned.”

“Hmm. Please wait a moment. I have something to retrieve.”

“Yes, sir.”

Returning to the room, Joohwan frowned at the lingering mix of his own pheromones, Jungmin’s newly awakened alpha pheromones, and the scent of their sex.

Even though he had left the window open, the scents seemed to have mingled and intensified. The hospital gown that had been scattered on the floor was gone, and the new clothes he had given Jungmin were tossed on the bed. That was just like Shin Jungmin.

Kim Joohwan glanced at the bed. There were traces of their frantic lovemaking, along with bloodstains. Probably Jungmin’s. Either from a tear or from his split lips.

Joohwan shrugged and bent down. He was curious about the ring he had taken. He figured Jungmin wouldn’t have been able to find it in his condition, so he looked under the bed where it had rolled. It was clean.

“Haha.”

He chuckled in disbelief. He was tired of Shin Jungmin clinging to a hopeless dream. Kim Joohwan stared at the spot where Jungmin had lain, clenched and unclenched his fist, and left the room.
