Despite the dim glow of the lamplight, a man with ash-blond hair menacingly turned his head and shot a piercing stare at Suga.
Within seconds, the room was engulfed in a suffocating and intimidating bitter pheromone scent, causing his feet to unconsciously take two steps back.
He recognized those eyes.
Those were the eyes of a predator.
Red eyes.
They stared sharply at him as if he were a bothersome pest that needed to be eliminated.
His head throbbed, the pheromone scent from this man was overpowering.
God, he could hardly breathe.
Suga covered his nose to avoid inhaling the scent, but his efforts were futile, the scent only grew stronger with time as if the man wanted him to quickly leave this place— marking a territory.
Suga’s stomach churned, and he felt like he could vomit at any moment.
Let’s get out of here.
Yeah.
This is terrifying.
Suga tried to move his trembling legs, lowering his head to avoid the intense piercing gaze of those red eyes.
However, in doing so, his gaze fell upon a woman whose wrist was being gripped and pinned to the wall by the man.
The position made Suga immediately think of negative scenarios.
He couldn’t quite see the woman’s face, but he could see her long hair flowing down.
Please don’t let this be an attempted sexual assault…
Yes, let’s get out of here and report to the security here or whoever is responsible for the safety in this building.
However, before Suga could turn around and run for help, his eyes widened as the woman cornered in the room, punched the man with red eyes with her unrestrained hand.
The punch was so strong that it caused a loud sound that made Suga wince, but the man being hit didn’t react in the slightest.
What the fuck …
Is that man a monster?
The woman’s punch could make any normal person vomit instantly.
After being punched by the woman, the man frowned thinly, shifting his gaze from Suga to the woman.
This time, Suga shivered even more.
The man’s gaze towards the woman was explicit, unfiltered.
Suga could feel the thirsty, lustful look he directed at the woman who was trying to free her wrist still held in place by the man.
“Your hair… You’ve been growing your hair for five years.” The ash-blond-haired man pulled a few strands of the woman’s hair and brought them close to his lips, softly, adoringly kissing the strands.
“Don’t touch me!”
Clap— as if instinctively, the woman delivered a strong slap to the man’s cheek, momentarily leaving him wide-eyed, but he soon burst into laughter.
He took the woman’s hand that he was holding and pressed it against the area of his cheek that was just slapped, then tenderly kissed her palm, tracing his lips to kiss on her fingertips.
The woman gritted her teeth, seemingly disliking what he was doing, and struggled desperately to pull her hand back, but it didn’t budge for even a centimeter from the man’s grip.
God, how strong is this man that he’s able to take that slap without even flinching?
This doesn’t look good.
Yes, this is obviously sexual harassment.
I have to help that woman escape from that creepy man.
As if Suga was insignificant, as if his presence was invisible, the man focused his attention on the woman.
He didn’t even notice Suga slowly moving forward into the storage room, covering his nose and trying to observe the surroundings to find something he could use to defend himself.
Then, bingo!
Suga’s pupils widened as his gaze fell on the familiar red button.
“Let me go! Let go of my hand!”
“I never promised anything, I said maybe! Maybe! I said the word maybe! And now you’re making me—”
Press—
Without hesitation, Suga pressed the emergency red button.
The button was meant to call instructors to the location.
After pressing it, Suga ran out as fast as he could, but he stood closely in front of the door, making sure the woman was safe.
However, something odd happened.
A loud alarm sound suddenly echoed from inside the room.
Suga raised his eyebrows, this is weird, he curiously peeked inside the room, and the creepy alpha man finally released the woman’s wrist.
The woman checked her pocket and took out something that looked like a phone.
Hold on, isn’t that …..
He saw Farrukh and Yuki also have those items.
“???????”
Is that woman an instructor?
So, this is an assault against an instructor?
Damn it, Suga’s head hurt thinking about this.
Isn’t this place only hiring men as instructors?
“Logan, you better not disturb me while I’m working.”
That voice.
Why could he be so dumb?
Clearly, it’s a male voice.
The person with long hair was not a woman but a man.
“Isn’t that the alarm to call the nearest instructor to the emergency location?” Asked the man with red eyes, his voice rough and low, glancing sharply at the object in the hand of the long-haired man, as if hoping he would destroy it.
Bip.
The man with long hair turned off the alarm, slowly turning his head until his eyes met Suga’s.
“…”
Could that man truly be male?
Suga almost didn’t blink, or rather, he refused to blink, fearing that this might be an illusion and the man would disappear.
The man’s face was otherworldly beautiful, it wasn’t an exaggeration for Suga to describe him as angelic.
Almond-shaped eyes, soft green pupils, adorned with gracefully arched eyelashes, a small button nose, full lips in a very sensual form— slight split in the middle of his lower lip.
Not to mention the man’s long, blond…
or ginger hair, he didn’t even know the precise color to describe it, slightly wavy and silky, as if a gentle breeze could easily sway his hair.
He might be the most beautiful man Suga had ever laid eyes on in his entire life.
He looked like a fairy.
No.
He looked like an angel.
No.
He looked like…
It was as if an artist was envisioning the most beautiful depiction of a creature, and the artist wholeheartedly poured his imagination onto the canvas.
A fantasy beauty that only exists in human imagination.
Yes.
That was the right way to describe him.
He looked so beautiful that people might think he wasn’t human.
“Are you the one who pressed the emergency button?”
The man with long hair slowly approached him, but his movement halted when the man with red eyes held his hand.
This time the grip was weak, as if uncertain, so the man with long hair brushed it off and took something out of his pocket.
A hand sanitizer, he roughly squeezed out its contents and rubbed it all over his hands, grimacing as if he had just touched something dirty.
After he felt his hands were clean, he took out black gloves and put them on both hands.
The man standing beside him stared at those hands for a while, with an unreadable expression.
For a moment, Suga thought the gaze seemed as if he was disappointed by that action.
Or maybe it was just his imagination.
“Why did you press that button?” The long haired man asked.
Obviously, to help you!
Suga wanted to shout that, but for some reason, his throat felt dry.
He could sense the pheromone scent seeping from the room.
Bitter pheromones mixed with alluring pheromones from the alpha trying to spread aphrodisiac scent to the omega.
Crazy.
That creepy red eyed man was emitting such of pheromones.
From the condition of the man with long hair, unaffected by the scents, Suga could confidently confirm that he was a beta.
Thank goodness he was a beta, because if an omega were in that room …
Suga didn’t want to imagine what would happen.
“Can’t you speak?”
The long haired man approached him, and as he stood closer, Suga’s eyes widened, seeing this man’s beauty more clearly.
Even in the dimly lit room, he could already see his beauty, but its level multiplied several times in a well-lit room.
“….”
I can speak, of course I can, but it seems I’m lost for words witnessing your beauty, oh I can’t even say this compliment out loud because I’m nervous …..
The sound of footsteps echoed loudly in the silent atmosphere as the man with red eyes emerged from the storage room and stood right beside the man with long hair.
Up close, Suga’s heart pounded in nervousness, this man was very tall, not only tall but also incredibly handsome—were they both models or celebrities?
Wait, could they be shooting a movie, and Suga just interrupted their work?
He looked around left and right, there was no sign of any cameras!
“Sorry for the disturbance. You’re one of the members here, right?”
As if the creepy alpha man he saw earlier never existed, the man with red eyes smiled warmly and amicably towards him, revealing his charismatic gentleman aura.
What is this?
What kind of joke is this?
Suga weakly nodded.
He secretly glanced at the expressionless man with long hair again, obviously puzzled by what was going on right now.
Then Suga looked at the two of them in turn, no one said anything, it was quite an awkward atmosphere.
Until,
The red eyed man cleared his throat and glanced at his watch, muttering a low, “Ah.” He lifted his hand and gently squeezed Niel’s shoulder, saying, “It’s time for me to go to the airport… Oh, wait a moment.” He went back into the storage room and came out with a light green tote bag, offering it to the man with long hair, but the man with long hair looked at it with a bored expression, showing no interest.
“I brought you some souvenirs and your favorite food … I’ll leave now, take care of yourself, and stay well. I’ll come to see you again.”
“No need.”
“….”
“You don’t need to see me again.”
The man with red eyes fell silent, still extending his hand, hoping the long haired man would take his gift, but he remained unmoving, acting like he didn’t see the man’s hand.
