Trapped In A Novel As The Breeding Mate For Four Powerful Alphas-Chapter 197: ... compelling him to want to ’change’ his actions towards me

Chapter 197: ... compelling him to want to ’change’ his actions towards me

While I slept, it seemed like a few things happened. Jin-Yeok returned to let me know that the food would be ready soon but he found me sleeping like a cub on my back that was yet to be fully healed.

Yet, he did not try to turn me around since I looked comfortable.

So, instead of waking me up, he lay on the bed and watched me. He watched me with such interest that he did not know how the time went by so fast.

I was an intriguing person, as well as the kind of person he would love to be around for the rest of his life.

Don’t ask me how I know this. I’ve gotta let you guys in on some of the things that happened while I was asleep, right?

Ahem, so where was I?

Okay, so he stared at me with a loving gaze, as if I were the treasure he never knew he would find. I know, I’m praising myself too much but it’s true. That was exactly the kind of gaze he had when watching me as I slept.

And because I was the treasure he never knew he would find, he felt reluctant to take it. He was scared. Scared that he could break that treasure as well as chase it away to go into hiding once more, leaving him in a vast ocean with no clear goal in life.

He stroked my hair gently and then leaned in to kiss my forehead before getting out of bed, and he left.

Just like that, he left, probably planning to maintain more caution when handling me.

And then after he left, about an hour later, Seo-Jun walked into the room. Like a thief, he peeked into the room first and when he saw that I was sleeping, he slowly and silently walked in, shutting the door behind him.

Standing at the door, he watched me as I snoozed away completely defenseless and in nothing but my bathrobe that I had carelessly, in my sleep, pushed away, exposing my thighs and a lot of my chest.

And in this position, I slept so comfortably that it looked like I was planning to tempt the first Alpha that walked in.

"Is he not scared because this is his room?" Seo-Jun asked out loud but in a calm tone.

And then, he looked towards the surveillance cameras. They were such a nuisance.

But it wasn’t like he was planning to do anything ’illegal’ to me.

He was the first to arrive home among the three that went out and it looked like Jin-Yeok was swamped with work and had locked himself in his room to take care of all that work.

So, now it was just him, having full access to me.

He walked towards the bed and then watched me from a closer range. He watched for a while and a lot of questions swirled through his mind. He was also confused.

How was it that this Omega was able to have so much Influence on not just the other Alphas but him as well?

It was something he had never heard of. And that was why he wanted to watch me more intently and pinpoint that exact thing that was suddenly compelling him to want to ’change’ his actions towards me.

He wanted to be a bit gentle so he wouldn’t hurt him like he did before. He did not want to see me having that broken and hateful expression directed at him.

For someone who never listened to anyone’s opinion about him, he was so concerned about my opinion of him that it was driving him crazy.

He didn’t want to be the big bad wolf in the story anymore and be on the three piggies’ side, it would seem.

Seo-Jun could not find the answers he was searching for just by watching me sleep but he did get something. He got the peaceful and blissful feeling that came from watching me be at peace.

It was probably what he was chasing after. Instead of that troubled expression, his actions and presence always made me give, he wanted me to give a peaceful expression when looking at him, and smile.

"It’s quite a far-fetched dream," he whispered, lying on the bed next to me. "But if I do well, will I get a reward?"

As a sadist, he strongly believed in the notion of, ’if you do well, you’ll get a reward’ and if you do even better and please the master, you could make a request from the master.

Though it was ironic if he wanted to put that notion in their relationship since he was the master and not the other way round but... Why did it feel like in this mansion where the Alphas made the rules and owned the power, the Omega, whom they were supposed to control, was the one who actually called the shots?

He watched, observed, and noticed every single detail, so he knew. They were all a slave to the slave.

He scoffed.

’It’s so ironic.’ He thought but it brought a smile to his face. Not a smile driven by sadistic desire, tendency, or pleasure, but that of a certain amusement, driven by the supposedly ’innocent’ Omega in front of him.

At that rate, it wouldn’t surprise him if he heard that I was the one deciding the order in which the Alphas would have to go to work.

’He’s sleeping so well despite having someone he referred to as a snake lying next to him.’ He thought.

Wait, did I ever say it to this guy’s face that he was a snake?

He stared at my face, scanning through my facial features.

’He’s so docile.’ He thought. ’So tamed. It’s at times like this that I can’t expect him to resist like a feisty bunny. It won’t be fun anyway. Maybe...’ he leaned closer, his eyes falling on my lips, and then raised them to look at my eyes, to make sure I was still sleeping soundly.

He was planning to do something risky but he thought it would be fine if he wasn’t crossing the line.

(And what do you think the line is, mister?)

He leaned in and kissed my lips, but it was more like a peck as our lips briefly brushed together.

His heart raced.

It wasn’t like he was a high school teen trying to kiss his long-time crush, but his heart just wouldn’t calm down. It was a simple kiss that he was stealing, but it felt like he was robbing a bank, and because of that, he couldn’t last long and quickly moved away.

’Dammit! It’s just a fucking peck on the lips.’ he blushed, covering his face but then when he dropped his hands, his eyes met mine.

It was at this point that I opened my eyes and saw him, looking a little weird, flushed and shocked at the same time, and my eyes widened in shock.

I quickly sat up and moved back, as if someone had just invaded my territory.

"You..." I was in defensive mode, I tell ya. "What are you doing here, master?"

He looked at me, shocked. How long have I been awake? Was I just pretending the whole time? Then, did I know about the kiss just now?

All these questions swirled around his head as he watched me staring in defensive mode. I looked like I was staring at a ghost with a tail.

But I didn’t mention anything about the kiss so it made him conclude that I had been asleep the whole time.

I, who had no idea what had been going on till the moment I opened my eyes, was really panicked, wondering what this man was doing in my bed and with such a weirdly flushed expression as well.

Was he thinking of lewd stuff? Was that why he had that expression on his face?

Ah, what did he plan to do to me while I was asleep?

Just how vile could he be? How low could he step just to get into my pants?

Wait, I wasn’t wearing any pants. I was in my robe and... One look at how my robe was completely disheveled would make it clear that someone tried to take it off and do ’dirty’ things.

And so, I quickly misunderstood the situation because of the kind of man Seo-Jun was in my memory but he quickly explained so that my image of him wouldn’t get any worse.

He sat up, my eyes following his every movement and he scratched the back of his neck.

"How was your sleep?" He asked and I squinted my eyes. What was he going on about? What was he planning?

My eyes swiftly darted to the door and then to the surveillance camera. If he tried anything with me, could I escape? What were my chances of winning?

These were the things I thought about till he said,

"I know I still have a long way to go to prove my worth," he said and I frowned. Again with that nonsense. It’s not his worth he needs to prove, that dumbass. "And I know I don’t exactly have any decent traits,"

Ah, he knows too well. But let’s not rule out that his face is the only decent trait he has. Well, as long as it’s decent.

"So, I will definitely work hard to make up for it. I won’t try to jump you while you’re defenseless like just now and I wanted to prove it to you by doing nothing while being by your side." He said and finally rolled his eyes towards me, looking like a shy pup. "Will you... Go on a date with me?"

I blinked twice, in disbelief and then the robe that was barely hanging on my shoulder slipped down, adding to my look of confusion.

"Huh?"

Did he just say... He wanted to go on a date with me?

(No, you misheard. He said he wanted to go on a picnic with you, lol)
