“It’s been five years.”
“And?”
“You promised to forgive me if I didn’t see you for five years.”
The red-eyed man said lowly, there was a glimmer of hope dancing in his intonation.
Suga mentally beat himself up, maybe he saw it wrong, but he felt that the man momentarily looked like a puppy that didn’t want to be abandoned by its owner.
The long-haired man just blinked, his face devoid of emotion.
He stared at the man as if he didn’t want this situation to last any longer.
“There’s a ‘maybe’ in what I said.”
“Niel ….”
“Go away, just leave me alone. I’m working here.”
So this beautiful long haired man’s name was Niel— even the name suits his beautiful appearance.
Suga tilted his head, suddenly trying to think deeply, he seemed to have heard this name somewhere but he couldn’t quite remember when he heard it.
As if he knew the long-haired man would say that, the alpha man exhaled heavily, disappointment etched across his features.
He clenched the totebag tightly in frustration, the veins on his fist visibly pulsating.
After a prolonged, wordless gaze exchanged between them, he let out a cold, bitter chuckle.
“Aha, do you still hate me?”
“You’re the one who hates me,” Niel shot back.
His eyes briefly glanced at the totebag in the man’s hand, and his forehead throbbed.
“You’ve always held a grudge against me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have done what you did.”
“But that was in the past, and I wholeheartedly apologized. I won’t do it again.”
“I heard from someone… People who care about you, won’t hurt you, but you… You’ve always hurt me. Even today, you hurt me.”
“I never… I did not—”
Suga stood frozen, starting to question why he was here.
The two people seemed to be arguing and he was silently watching thes cenes.
Why couldn’t his legs move?
Well, to be honest, Suga also wanted to make sure that the previous assault didn’t happen again, but if it did, would he be able to fight this tall creepy alpha?
The man obviously, extremely strong, with broad, solid shoulders and muscles evident under his suit.
He looked like a giant.
“…Go Logan, you’ll miss your flight and you’re busy with your works, so go.”
“…At least accept this.”
The alpha man persisted, extending the totebag to Niel.
Niel closed his eyes briefly, massaged his forehead clearly showing that this interaction got his head ache.
He let out an unwilling sigh.
Eventually, he accepted it, just because he wanted this to end quickly.
As Suga watched closely, he noticed a sense of misery in the alpha man’s expression—his expression darkened and his eyes appeared hollow.
If Suga had not witnessed the previous interaction, he might have mistaken Niel for the one mistreating this man.
The creepy man turned his back, walking away silently from Niel.
Once the man was out of sight, His eyes shifted downward, and he lowered his pupils to inspect the contents of the totebag in his hand.
“…. It’s chicken nuggets, that guy is crazy.”
Suga’s eyes widened momentarily at the sight of Niel’s lips, which the corned of his lips lifted ever so slightly, just a fraction.
Suga roughly rubbed his eyes, he had lost count of how many times he had seen something wrong today.
Because then, a second later, he no longer saw a smile on Niel’s —it was as if the brief expression had been nothing more than an illusion.
Something was definitely off with his eyes today.
“Why are you staring at me? Want me to punch you?”
“Sorry… I didn’t mean to ….”
In contrast to his beautiful features, the man’s voice was unmistakably masculine, yet it held a surprising grace and softness.
However, upon hearing the long-haired man’s words, Suga was instantly reminded of the incident when the man hardly punched the creepy alpha earlier.
A shiver ran down Suga’s spine.
I’d probably end up dead if he punched me.
“Why are you keep on staring? Is this your first time seeing me? Are you a new member?”
Suga nodded.
Letting out an exasperated sigh, the man with the long hair wrinkled his forehead, clearly written on his face that all this situation was bothersome and he wanted to get out of here quickly.
He brushed his silky, wavy hair behind his ears and fastened it with a band.
Even this simple gesture held a captivating allure, causing Suga’s eyes to be momentarily captivated, as if there was an illusion of blossoming roses and twinkling lights encircled him.
It was like when you flipped through a manga and stumbling upon a panel deliberately highlighting the character’s exceptional beauty—
Feeling uncomfortable being stared at for so long by him, the long haired man let out a dismissive snort, narrowing his eyes.
“Why are you still standing here? Is there a problem?”
Once again, Suga shook his head.
It felt like he had repeated this several times now, but there was no denying it, really— the man before him was undeniably beautiful.
Even with his sullen expression, the beauty was overpowering.
Looking at Suga like he was a weird brat, the man named Niel turned his body around and was about to walk away.
Suga found himself instinctively following, his voice slipping out before he could stop himself.
“Are you okay?”
This guy almost…
Ugh I don’t know what they were doing in the storage room earlier, but this guy almost got hurt because of that alpha man.
The man’s steps abruptly halted, slowly turned his face then looked at Suga who blinked in confusion.
“That’s none of your business.”
“Did you guys fight earlier?”
“That’s none of your business.”
“But that guy… It seems…”
“How many times do I have to say it’s none of your business?!”
The man snarled, slamming his fist against the wall next to him, his face turning red with rage.
Startled, Suga involuntarily jerked back and apologized, “Sorry!” He quickly stepped away.
Naturally, he wasn’t looking for ‘Aha, thanks for worrying about me!’ words, Suga simply wanted to make sure the man was okay.
Considering the pheromone emitted by the red-eyed man earlier was an aphrodisiac ….
A pheromone symbol of possessive alpha wanting to claim, and it didn’t seem consensual either because this man, Niel, apparently had no idea, he was unable to smell it as he was a beta.
Suga should have left and not made this man even angrier, but since it was rare for him to come across a beta here, he wanted to feel acquainted with this guy. This chapter is updated first at novelping dot com.
It’s really rather lonely just being surrounded by alphas and omegas.
“…Are you a beta.. I’m a beta too, so can we be friends? May I know your name?”
The man blinked in astonishment, looking at Suga as if he were performing the most foolish act in human history.
Well maybe he was indeed a bit stupid, this man clearly didn’t want to engage in conversation, yet Suga stubbornly continued speaking.
“Friends?… Didn’t you see my uniform?” Niel eventually replied.
Suga raised his eyebrows.
A second, two seconds later, he gasped and covered his mouth in disbelief—how could he forget this?
That man had a device that looked like an item that Farrukh and Yuki also had, and he was currently wearing an instructor’s uniform.
This was because Suga had been so focused on this man’s face that he couldn’t think straight.
No pun intended.
But seriously, his face was incredibly beautiful.
That’s probably the hundredth time I’ve complimented this guy’s looks today.
“Oh, sorry, Instructor Niel, I apologize!” Suga half-shouted and bowed upon realizing his mistake.
The instructor named Niel snorted, rolled his eyes, and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
“Why are you bowing? Are you crazy?”
Gah!
That’s my habit as a Japanese!
Suga quickly straightened his body again, Niel looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes scanned at Suga’s body from top to toe.
Instantly, he became nervous under such a prolonged gaze from someone with such beautiful features.
Damn.
Did I just discover my sexual orientation?
Do I also like men?
I’ve never considered dating a man, but this guy…
That face is sinful!
What kind of human has a face like that?!
Suga noticed Instructor Niel release a drawn-out sigh and begin to turn away, but before he could enter the hallway, he halted and cast a glance back at Suga.
“He’s my brother. So you don’t have to worry.”
“….. Huh?”
What?
That man, that creepy alpha man with red eyes is his brother?
There’s no way.
Pausing in his tracks, Suga scratched his head, not because it was itchy, but because he felt puzzled.
It was hard to believe that those two were actually brothers.
They look so different—completely unlike each other!
Suga’s head hurt as he tried to understand the logic behind what had happened.
Would a brother emitt aphrodisiac and possessive pheromones while talking to his own brother?
Suga knew it wasn’t his business, but he couldn’t help but wonder about this strange situation.
