CHO EUNTAK fell silent after Baek Jeho’s "scandalous" confession about jerking off in the cinema bathroom.

Thankfully, Baek Jeho didn’t force him to talk either.

Hence, they sat in the car in silence until they got home.

By that, I mean our apartment.

They lived in the same apartment complex, after all.

Cho Euntak led the way to his unit, though.

He knew he needed to talk to Baek Jeho anyway, so he brought him home.

When he got to his apartment, the two of them sat across from each other in the dining hall.

Cho Euntak brewed tea for the two of them instead of coffee.

We need the calming effect of tea, not potential palpitations from caffeine.

Anyways, it was Baek Jeho who broke the awkward silence first.

"First of all, I’m sorry, Euntak-ah."

"What are you sorry for?"

"I stupidly ran away and left you without an explanation," Baek Jeho said, his voice full of remorse. "To be honest, I panicked because it was the first time that I got hard just because of a kiss..."

"Ah, so now you’re bragging about how experienced you are that a mere kiss shouldn’t have made you feel that way?"

"No, of course not. I didn’t mean it that way," Cho Euntak said while shaking his head. "Cho Euntak, it just goes to show how much I suppressed my feelings for you. All it took was once kiss for me to be 100% sure that I’m not making a mistake. That there’s no way we could return to being friends after this. I like you, and I want you."

Oh,

Okay, that made Cho Euntak blush.

Admittedly, Baek Jeho’s explanation and apology had already melted his anger away.

But, of course, he didn’t want to show it.

Not yet, at least.

"I’m really sorry for running away. I went back after I was done with my business, but you weren’t there anymore," Baek Jeho continued with his explanation. "I looked for you everywhere. Here, at your parents’ house, even at Heedo Hyung’s house. Then I heard that Sera Noona wasn’t home, so I thought you met up with her."

"And that’s why you kept pestering Noona?"

"I got suspicious when Sera Noona kept scolding me as if she already knew what happened between us. That’s how I figured out that you must be with her. And since she wasn’t at home, I figured she was at her new boyfriend’s place."

"Sera Noona and Semin Hyung aren’t dating yet... I think."

Baek Jeho just shrugged as if he didn’t care. "The important thing is I found you."

Right.

Speaking of which...

"How did you get inside, and how did you know Semin Hyung’s exact unit number?" Cho Euntak asked curiously. "I’m sure it’s not something you’ll find just because you looked Semin Hyung up on the Internet."

"Uhm, Heedo Hyung’s family owns the apartment complex where Baek Semin lives, so..."

Aigoo!

No wonder Sera Noona wasn’t surprised when Baek Jeho appeared there.

Cho Euntak clicked his tongue. "That’s invasion of privacy. Don’t ever do that again, Baek Jeho. And stop asking Heedo Sunbae-nim for favors like that. You hear me?"

Baek Jeho pouted, and then he avoided his gaze. "I’ll try not to ask for Heedo Hyung’s help again. But I can’t promise that I won’t do something like that. If you suddenly disappear from my sight, isn’t it only natural that I look for you? Of course, I’ll use any means necessary to find you, Euntak-ah. That’s how scared I am to lose you."

Aww.

Wait, I mean, aigoo.

It wasn’t like Cho Euntak didn’t know how Alphas would go crazy from their obsession over their partner.

He had seen how Kim Heedo reacted when he almost lost Park Sohee.

In a way, he was already used to how crazy an Alpha could get when it came to love.

I’m an Alpha myself, but I lived most of my life as a Beta. Plus, I’m only a Recessive Alpha. That’s probably why I’m not as intense as Baek Jeho.

Cho Euntak would even sometimes forget that he was an Alpha.

Except for moments like that one.

I can smell that fragrant scent again.

Now that he was at home, he could 100% say that the scent didn’t come from his house. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Hence, it could only mean one thing.

"Yah, Baek Jeho. Can I smell you?"

Baek Jeho immediately turned to him, obviously shocked and confused. "Huh?"

Instead of answering verbally, Cho Euntak just grabbed Baek Jeho by the collar.

Then he leaned forward as he pulled Baek Jeho closer to him.

And, finally, he put his nose close to the other Alpha’s neck.

Oh, confirmed.

The fragrant smell was really coming from Baek Jeho.

"You smell so nice, Jeho-ya."

It was rare for Cho Euntak to call Baek Jeho affectionately instead of his full name, but he couldn’t help it at the moment.

He didn’t expect Baek Jeho to stay silent, though.

What’s happening to this dude now?

Cho Euntak let go of Baek Jeho’s collar, and then he sat properly again.

When he looked at Baek Jeho, he saw that he was also sitting straight now.

But he also noticed that Baek Jeho’s face, ears, and neck were all red.

"Is it hot?" Cho Euntak asked worriedly. "Should I turn on the AC?"

"No, I probably need a cold shower."

"What?"

Baek Jeho looked Cho Euntak straight in the eye and said bluntly: "I’m hard, Euntak-ah."

Okay, now it was Cho Euntak’s turn to blush.

How could Baek Jeho be that honest?!

"B-But why did you get hard? We didn’t kiss this time."

"Well, you suddenly sniffed me like a pervert."

"Yah."

"And you smell nice," Baek Jeho confessed, his gaze getting more intense. In fact, it almost looked like he was already undressing Cho Euntak in his head. "Your scent makes me feel things, Cho Euntak."

Aigoo.

That confession made Cho Euntak happy, though.

After all, he was relieved that he was capable of making Baek Jeho arouse.

Easily, at that.

Now, to address the elephant in the room...

"Am I going to be the bottom?"

"Huh?"

"If we date, then naturally, we’re going to do it," Cho Euntak said nervously, clenching his hands tight. And then he gathered the courage to ask Baek Jeho again: "Am I going to be the bottom in this relationship?"

Baek Jeho gulped before asking: "What do you want, Cho Euntak?"

"I want to be the top, Baek Jeho."
