Heavy Rain Chapter 32

And then, he forced a fork into his hand. Haejin reflexively frowned at the excessive grip. Even so, the Butler picked up a piece of food and thrust it toward his lips.

“The Master told me to make sure you eat well. You must obey.”

“Ugh….”

Chewing the meat that had been forced into his mouth, Haejin drew back. Fortunately, the Butler stepped back as if he had no intention of doing anything more. Thanks to that, Haejin had to chew what was in his mouth with his head hung low. He swallowed the discomfort and sorrow along with the meat down his throat.

How long must I go on like this?

He felt as if he could still hear the knocking sound from that day in his ears. Even when he closed his eyes, the Butler’s black clothes often intruded abruptly into his thoughts.

“Now, eat slowly. Hurry.”

“…….”

Haejin forced strength into his hand holding the fork to endure its slight trembling. Thinking that if he just stuffed it into his mouth quickly, the Butler would leave sooner.

Without even turning his head, the Butler watched Haejin. With every bite he swallowed, Haejin had to endure the feeling of wanting to vomit. He couldn’t even taste the food set before him.

“You’ve finished it all.”

“…….”

Having swallowed the last bit of meat, Haejin couldn’t respond as he covered his mouth. Nevertheless, as if pleased by the fact that the food was finished, the Butler picked up the tray with a smile and left.

Watching his retreating figure disappear outside the room, Haejin tapped his stifling chest again. Seeing even the Butler step forward to act that way, it seemed Lyle had given quite firm orders this time. What did it matter if he had lost a little weight that he would go this far?

What is he trying to do by forcing me to eat like this?

That night, Haejin could not fall asleep for a long time. It was because his upset stomach kept churning inside. Along with his sorrow, he suppressed the impulse to run out of this mansion right this second. He would have harbored the hope that Lyle would let him go if he hadn’t bothered to look after his meals.

And so, late into the night, after suffering in agony for a long while, he finally fell asleep. Suddenly, a distressing heat began to rise from his body.

𓂃ﾟ ⋆ ﾟ ☂︎ 🍂༄˖°

“Heuu-ugh….”

His heart beat so violently it hurt. His whole body felt so hot that he wanted to scratch it raw. Even as he tore at his innocent clothes, this squeezing pain did not subside.

Since it hadn’t been long since he manifested as an Omega, he had only experienced this sensation a few times. Still, Haejin could instinctively tell that this was a precursor to a heat cycle.

However, even in his hazy mind, he realized something was strange. No matter how irregular the heat cycle intervals were, his physical condition usually changed enough for him to predict it a few days in advance. Surely, even until that evening, his body hadn’t been in a state where a heat cycle was likely to occur.

It might be because there had been many things to be mentally agitated about recently. Perhaps, occasionally, there were sudden heat cycles like this.

But Haejin couldn’t hide his anxiety as he recalled the Butler, who had repeatedly forced food into his mouth. The pheromones surging out of his body and scattering into the air felt like sharp thorns protruding from him.

Then, on a dark, moonless night, his room door suddenly opened.

“…Hmph. An Omega after all, I see.”

Watching the Butler, who had entered as he pleased while covering his nose and mouth with a handkerchief, Haejin floundered in despair. Why did his anxious premonitions never fail to come true?

“Get up.”

“N-No….”

“Be quiet. You’re being a nuisance. Tsk.”

Because he was holding the handkerchief with one hand, the Butler grabbed Haejin with only one hand and dragged him off the bed. Even so, Haejin couldn’t overcome that grip. It was because, in addition to his already frail physical condition, the Butler’s Alpha pheromones suppressed and consumed him.

Since the Butler was also a recessive type, Haejin would usually have resisted to some extent, but in the midst of a heat cycle, it was difficult just to keep his senses.

“Ah, ugh…!”

Whether Haejin fell over in the process or not, the Butler continued to drag him roughly. In the state of having just been dragged from his bed, Haejin was miserably hauled down the long hallway.

At first, he thought the Butler was going to rape him. But soon, seeing where those footsteps were headed, Haejin couldn’t hold onto his fading consciousness.

If he were to come into contact with Lyle’s pheromones in this state, it would truly be a disaster.

Contrary to his thoughts, however, Haejin’s body could only flounder. Should he consider it a stroke of luck that the hallways were dark and empty of servants, so this miserable sight wasn’t widely seen? It was infinitely painful for Haejin that even in this situation, he had to worry about the eyes of others.

Before long, a strange door appeared that he had never entered before. He could instinctively tell that Lyle was inside.

Ah, so this is why he forced me to eat like that.

No matter how many times he questioned it internally, it was obvious this situation was by Lyle’s will. Was it a trick to force him to take medicine that triggers a heat cycle so he could sleep with him comfortably? Because he couldn’t fulfill the contract properly, did he think to exploit even that loathsome heat cycle?

“N-No. Please….”

Haejin shed tears from an indescribable sense of misery. The fact that the tears were streaming down made him even more frustrated. It was more sorrowful than anything that he was finally dropping tears, driven by misery, when he hadn’t even been able to cry at his parents’ deaths.

“Go in quietly.”

“Ugh.”

The Butler, who had been glancing at Haejin with eyes full of lust every now and then, finally threw him into the drawing room of Lyle’s suite.

While feeling the texture of the carpet touching his limp body, the door clicked shut behind him. Haejin, snapping his head up, quickly turned back and grabbed the doorknob. But he was only fumbling in vain, as if it had been locked from the outside.

“No….”

From the moment he entered this room, his whole body was tingling. As he slowly raised his head, a massive drawing room connected to Lyle’s bedroom came into view. He saw many doors everywhere, and it was unclear where they led. It was clearly a layout he was seeing for the first time, but Haejin was able to find Lyle’s bedroom all too easily.

Because of the immense pheromones flowing out from there.

“Heu, uu…, hugh.”

His knees were trembling. A disgusting heat was gathering between his legs. Having only experienced a few heat cycles, Haejin had no immunity to such provocative sensations. At least, after accidentally spending a heat with Lyle once, he would take medicine in advance as soon as the warning signs appeared.

For a moment, his mind went blank. When he closed and opened his eyes, he realized he had already crawled to the front of Lyle’s bedroom door. Even the texture of the plush carpet wrapping around him was provocative. His breath was so hot that his face felt like it might get burned by his exhalations.

No. I have to go back.

His thoughts kept scattering fruitlessly. The pheromones he had been unable to control at all for a while now were pooling heavily on the floor. Even to himself, they felt like lewd and desperate pheromones.

It would have been better if Lyle were managing his pheromones well as usual, but for some reason, his pheromones felt particularly thick today. It was surely intentional. He must want Haejin to crawl before him like this.

The overwhelming scent of a dominant Alpha slowly consumed him.

No.

The sound of fingernails scratching against the floor woke his senses. Just as he briefly regained his composure from that pain, Lyle’s pheromones, which had been lingering in front of the door, suddenly wafted over Haejin. At that moment, Haejin lost his self-control.

“…Heu-eut….”

As if possessed, he put strength into his legs and stood up. His body moved forward of its own accord. He took a step, and when his legs gave out and collapsed, he approached the door even if he had to crawl again.

It was maddening to see his body moving as it pleased while in a daze. However, his hand finally grabbed the doorknob, unable to hear the cries of reason. To the place where Lyle would be lying.

The Alpha is there.

“…….”
