Trapped In A Novel As The Breeding Mate For Four Powerful Alphas-Chapter 17: It’s a big deal if you don’t know how to control your Pheromones

Since Min-Cheol was one of the Alphas who paid to buy me out of that action house, I was sure he knew of my circumstances. Even if it was a little.

He probably knew I had been caught by the loan sharks and thrown into the auction house in order to get back their money.

But there was one thing I didn't understand, though.

They were all rich enough to afford me alone so why did they all share the responsibility of buying me? It was as if they had each other's best interest in mind and didn't care how many people they had to share me with, as long as they could get a strong, healthy offspring out of me.

Ugh, that concept made me want to throw up all of a sudden. It was as if they never saw me as a human at all. I was just a doll. A pet. A toy. Something very insignificant. Even to Ki-hoon whose actions were driven by his love-hate feelings for Jo-Pil... He did not give Jo-Pil the breathing space of a human.

Well, it was only like that during the first few Chapters till all their roles and characters were established.

Like I said before, they gave Jo-Pil enough chances to be treated as a human, but he so stubbornly refused their gentle advances, throwing out the gentle and soft part of the stick and getting the hard and painful end of the stick instead.

But that concept of not being treated as a human was somehow engraved in this body of mine. That disgust seemed to be there as well.

They hadn't done anything, so it wasn't supposed to be like that, and yet, I was feeling it so vividly as if this body had passed through it countless times. Forced sex, childbearing, and countless attempts of suicide.

It suddenly started roaming through my head as if the scenes were playing right in front of my eyes and I staggered.

What was going on, all of a sudden?

My head was aching as I was forced to replay tearful and painful scenes of 'Bruised'. They played over and over and it wouldn't stop.

I trembled and even tried to scream but there was no sound forthcoming. It was as if I was stuck in an infinite loop that had no ending.

"Hyung," Min-Cheol called out to me and I snapped out of my trance, panting softly.

Ah, was that my imagination just now?

I looked back. The maids were patiently waiting at the corner. And then I looked at Min-Cheol in front of me, looking quite puzzled.

So, it was just my imagination. There was no such thing as infinite loops. No such thing. I was just feeling so much pressure that my mind started to wander to the unknown and think abstractly.

That was my thought of the situation at that time but I did wonder about it later. If this world I was dreaming of was as simple as the original novel I had read or if this was a world that was stuck in an infinite loop.

The loop started each time a new reader picked up the book and read it.

'I need to think straight; if not, Min-Cheol will start getting suspicious of me.' I thought.

"It's a big deal if you don't know how to control your Pheromones, Hyung." He said. "Though, one would naturally emit Pheromones when they were aroused or in heat. But if you suddenly walk down the street and start spreading your Pheromones, you'll only be asking for trouble."

What was he talking about? Walking down the street? I wouldn't even be allowed to walk around on my own, to begin with, so if that happened, I'd probably be in the company of one or two Alphas.

Still, it was a big deal.

"Can I ask the doctor about it?" I asked him.

"Oh, you mean old man number two?" He asked and my face crinkled. This brat.

If he called those two 'old men', what would he call the real old men? I wouldn't be surprised if he called them 'ancestors'.

"Yes. Since he's a doctor, he'll probably know what to do." I said and Min-Cheol nodded.

"That's a good idea. I'll call him right away." He said and I sighed.

Guess I'll be seeing the doctor sooner than expected. Hope he doesn't grit his teeth at me cause I disrupted his schedule.

"But before that," Min-Cheol said and suddenly pressed his hand on my chest. "It's time for you to answer my question, Hyung." He smiled. "So, tell me. Do I scare you?"

Ah, I thought I had brushed past that topic but he was still hung up on it, huh? This unhinged bastard. When he was fixated on something, he'd see it to the end.

He probably placed his hand on my chest to know if I was lying or telling the truth. What kind of method was this? It wasn't stated in the novel.

It was probably because he was never that close to Jo-Pil to the point where he would care if he was lying or telling the truth. In the first place, Jo-Pil had shut his mouth tight whenever he was with Min-Cheol.

He did not say a word. The only times he spoke, he probably said something like, 'You disgust me' or 'I hate your very being'

Gosh, now that I think about it. It was no different from a punishment for Min-Cheol who only wanted to hold a conversation with Jo-Pil and listen to his voice.

Jo-Pil was equally unhinged for inviting all that torment. Brr, I'll never be like that.

However, there were times in the later part of the novel when Min-Cheol would suddenly press his head on Jo-Pil's chest for a while and then leave.

Jo-Pil might've not known what he was doing, so it wasn't written there what Min-Cheol had done, but I think I get it now.

Since Jo-Pil did not speak to Min-Cheol, his only way of communicating with him must've been through his heartbeat.

Thinking of it now saddened me and I poured that emotion into my response.

"You want to know if I'm scared of you, right?" I asked and he nodded. "Well, I'm not scared of you in particular because you've not done anything to me but I am scared. I'm scared of what my future holds. I'm scared of angering you or any of my four masters. I'm scared that I'll make a mistake that will ruin me forever. I..." Tears started to slide down my cheeks. "I'm scared that I'd end up getting hit for every little thing. I'm scared of everything, so I still wonder..." I covered my face. "Why you're being so nice to me when tomorrow you can turn into a mean and scary master. And when that happens... I... I don't know what I'll do."
