Pheromone Off Chapter 47

Kwon Sayoung frowned as he retraced his sparse memories. After swallowing the estrus drug, the pheromones he had been tightly suppressing erupted drastically. Thanks to manifesting at an early age, pheromone regulation was easier for him than for other Alphas. Because of that, his rut had never exploded in response to an Omega’s pheromones, nor had he ever shown an unsightly side outside because of his pheromones.

Even when a rut came and estrus hit, he had never once lost his reason to the point where his memories vanished sparsely. He couldn’t help but be skilled at regulation. Even if he was less influenced by other people’s pheromones, he tended to be mindful of the opponent who would be affected by his own pheromones.

When he experienced his first rut, the opponent foamed at the mouth and collapsed while continuing the relation. Not all dominant Alphas were the same. Kwon Sayoung’s pheromones, having inherited the dominant trait the most heavily among the three siblings, were more powerful than other Alphas. Normally, it was a matter of him gathering or regulating it himself, but during a rut when rational regulation was difficult, it became powerful enough to cause the opponent suffering, so there existed several Omegas who had been carried out while spending a rut with him.

Thus, the only Omega who could take the estrous pheromones of that toxic Kwon Sayoung was around the level of Seong Yeonwoo, who was a dominant Omega, and even Seong Yeonwoo found it very heavy when spending a rut with him. Because he once bled from his nose and fainted, he had to endure the time by taking regulators even during his rut periods. At the words that if he truly spent a rut with an Omega according to instinct, it was not only fatal to the opponent but could even bring about shock, he had never once felt a refreshed feeling even when spending a rut. Even during a rut when he lost his judgment ability, he had to exert his utmost strength to hold onto the thread of reason. It was a truly tiring thing.

Perhaps because of that reason, this matter was a bit distinct to Kwon Sayoung. No matter how much he took an estrus drug, it was the first time he had lost his reason in this manner. To the point where his memories occasionally vanished, he had gone out of his mind enough to confuse the opponent. It was a funny thing. Despite the fact that there wasn’t even an Omega pheromone, which acts as an estrus promoter.

Furthermore, it was the first time he had let go of his reason and pheromones in this manner. The reason his complexion was uniquely good and he looked refreshed was precisely because of that. Truly to his heart’s content…

Kwon Sayoung let out an absurd laugh. Of course, he thought the deed Seong Hajin committed was sassy and crossed the line, but ironically, thanks to that matter, his head was light for the first time in his life, and the stiffness that always sat heavily down disappeared. His sensitive nerves also loosened up, making him feel as though his mind had cleared.

However, a doubt did arise. No matter how much he was in estrus, that he, whose mental strength alone was frighteningly certain, was continuously in estrus for that long time without even an Omega pheromone. There was no Omega pheromone. There was no Omega pheromone that instinctively stimulated him, but something that continuously brushed the tip of his nose definitely existed.

It wasn’t a pheromone, but a wordless scent that came out every time he brushed past Seong Hajin. Every time they ran into each other, it was minute enough to give an illusion that he was an Omega, yet it stimulated the vicinity of his brain. So every time they ran into each other, he asked. Whether he was an Omega. But the returning answer was merely the word that he was a Beta.

Only after inadvertently spending a rut with the fellow did he realize. That it wasn’t a pheromone perfume, nor an artificial product scent, but a body odor. That it was Seong Hajin’s unique skin smell. And that he had been stimulated by that smell.

By a mere skin smell, which wasn’t even a pheromone.

Furthermore, to think that he felt insanely refreshed by this piece of business that was close to mating, devoid of any reason or common sense. Kwon Sayoung felt like he would go crazy because it grated on his nerves. He felt as if he had fallen for that trick of acting nonchalantly as if it weren’t the case. That he was satisfied despite being fallen victim to an estrus drug? Kwon Sayoung, who had lived controlling himself his entire life, did not feel that refreshed in his mood, unlike his light body.

“But… are you okay?”

Kwon Sayoung, who had been lost in thought for a moment, halted for a moment and stared back at the secretary. As his eyebrows twitched as if asking what kind of meaning was contained in that question, Secretary Jang added.

“I mean your fiance.”

“What is it you want to say?”

“No, didn’t you say he’s a Beta.”

“So.”

At Secretary Jang’s puzzled face as if asking if he genuinely didn’t know, Kwon Sayoung’s brow furrowed a layer further.

“With a Beta’s body… didn’t he deal with you, Team Leader?”

“…”

“Furthermore, if he dealt with a dominant Alpha in a rut, it seems the blow would be tremendously huge.”

“…”

“Since you spent about 3 days, by now he would have been hospitalized—.”

Secretary Jang’s voice gradually drifted away. Kwon Sayoung pressed tightly down on his temples with a face as if realizing ah. Because he had been feeling quite a shock over this situation, his thoughts had failed to reach that far. Even while recognizing that he was a Beta, at the thought that he had endured him for 3 days, Kwon Sayoung, who had thought whether his stamina was better than a general Beta, jumped up from his seat.

Perhaps because he didn’t foam at the mouth mid-way or lose consciousness like other Omegas, Kwon Sayoung, who naturally thought he would be okay, let out a small sigh.

It was definitely comfortable. That child, who didn’t receive any influence even when he opened his pheromones. It was comfortable and refreshing because he could discharge only instinctive desires without minding the reason he had held onto to the point of exploding his nerves even during rut periods. However, his body was different from Omegas. It was not a body specialized for taking in Alphas.

“Send the business materials by email.”

“Yes…?”

“Postpone the meeting to tomorrow.”

“It’s in a state of being postponed as much as it can be postponed… Team Leader!”

Leaving behind Secretary Jang who urgently held onto him, Kwon Sayoung escaped the office. And right away, he placed a call somewhere.

“Are… are you okay?”

While heading toward the filming set, the manager asked the same question several times. Hajin forced a smile saying he was okay and nodded his head.

Madam Shim told him to rest, but Hajin could not rest with a comfortable mind. It wasn’t that he had a lot of work, but even so, during the past 3 days, there were schedules for him too. Furthermore, getting the advertisement work was precisely at that time. There was a second meeting, and there was a minor role job where he had gained more screentime. Whether they had heard word somehow, it seemed the manager and the company had resolved it, but his face wouldn’t show up at the nuisance he caused as soon as he moved to the company. Therefore, could his body right now even be a problem?

“I’m sorry, because of me.”

Whatever the circumstances, Hajin politely apologized toward the manager who must have gone through trouble in the middle. How long had it been since he entered, and furthermore, right now he wasn’t in a position of having leverage enough to break a schedule as he pleased.

“Ay, well, what can we do. A person can be sick and some circumstances can arise, right.”

“…I’m sorry. How long has it been since the work came in….”

“For me, it’s a matter of saying I’m sorry, but you know. This field, reputation is important. At a standpoint where you should move companies and start, if word goes around that you broke a schedule, honestly it’s not that good for your image, Hajin.”

“…Yes.”

“It’s a place where word goes around over one such mistake, so I’m worried lest a disadvantage should go to you, Hajin.”

“I will do better.”

“Ay, you don’t have to be that way to me. But you’re really okay, right?”

“Ah…. Yes.”

“Because you didn’t look in good body condition, I thought about canceling, but today happens to be the advertisement rehearsal day. That… you know. The actor Kwon Sabin.”

The manager let out an awkward laugh, giving a subtle hint.

“Since she… has a strong leverage and… a temper to boot, if we say a sub-model breaks a schedule, I think she will throw a fit.”

“Ah, yes. I know. I’m okay. Really.”

Of course he knew. Seong Hajin also knew well just how much of a fit she would throw.

“Since it’s a spot where they lightly hold a meeting, trace camera movements, and simply rehearse the story flow briefly, you don’t have to put too much strength in.”

The manager explained kindly and parked skillfully. Hajin replied strictly saying he understood, but his words were only so; his inside was not that way at all. How could he not be nervous? Even though he was merely a sub, it was the first time standing before a camera alone with the opponent, so his heart was beating like mad.

Furthermore, in truth, he was not okay at all. A fever was running as it was, and his entire body was hot to the point where even his vision was blurry. In addition, the place that was abused for about 3 days, whether it was torn, bled sparsely, and walking was not easy either.

But let’s endure.

Moving his body that felt like a lump of lead, Hajin clenched his molars tightly. He had confidence in enduring. Let’s endure. There was not a single matter he couldn’t endure. As long as he was alive. As long as he was breathing.

Kwon Sabin, who arrived at the filming set first, lay down on a beanbag that was in the waiting room as a prop and placed her arm over her face as if tired.

It was the 3rd day. That she hadn’t gone home.

It was also because of the filming schedules she had pushed back thanks to returning home on time lately, but there was also a part Kwon Sabin instinctively avoided. Strangely, after beginning to be conscious of him, for some reason she didn’t want to see Seong Hajin at home. In her perturbed mind, she felt like her heart would get more chaotic if she saw his face, and thinking about watching him play that pathetic role of Kwon Sayoung’s fiance for some reason made her anger flare up.

Come to think of it, it was from that time. At the restaurant where the entire family gathered, the moment Chairman Kwon delivered a thunderous command, from the moment she heard the words that he would marry Seong Hajin and Kwon Sayoung off, an unidentifiable anger flared up all of a sudden. At that time, of course she thought it was because she was dumbfounded by the primary reason that it made no sense to become family with a fellow like that, but…

“Ah, fuck.”

That should be the end, so why keep.

“Manager, they say the sub-model has arrived.”

The news the filming staff delivered to Kwon Sabin’s manager pierced Kwon Sabin’s ears.
