Pretty Seunghyuk.
Hyung.
Why aren’t you reading my messages?
Hyung, hyung.
Don’t ignore me.
I said don’t ignore me.
Hyunwoo.
“…….”
After sending Sung-yoon away, Hyunwoo took out his phone and checked the messages Seunghyuk had sent.
The sheer number of messages was enough to drive anyone neurotic, filling the screen completely.
Seunghyuk, this crazy bastard.
Hyunwoo gritted his teeth.
After claiming he had an omega boyfriend, Seunghyuk sent messages constantly and kept calling.
Moreover, he even waited in the company lobby around the time Hyunwoo left work.
Hyunwoo had no idea why Seunghyuk was behaving like this.
‘I think it was the exact opposite before I regressed.’
He didn’t remember clearly since it was five years ago… but he was the one who always contacted first, sent dozens of messages that weren’t even checked, and picked Seunghyuk up after work.
Now, after regression, he didn’t contact Seunghyuk first and didn’t go to see him.
So why was Seunghyuk doing the exact same things he had done back then?
Hyunwoo clenched his teeth while scrolling through Seunghyuk’s messages.
Buzz, buzz.
Pretty Seunghyuk.
Hyung.
Hyung.
I’m in the lobby now.
“Ah, seriously…!”
Hyunwoo finally couldn’t hold it and jumped up from his seat.
Checking the time, it was about the end of the workday.
He grabbed his things and rushed down to the lobby.
“Hey, Seunghyuk!”
“Hyung.”
“…….”
Hyung? Huh?
Hyunwoo stared intently at Seunghyuk’s unbothered face.
He should have been angry, but seeing that pretty face, his rising emotions dissipated instantly.
No, he couldn’t let this happen.
Hyunwoo forced himself to regain composure.
“Are you crazy?”
“Why?”
“What do you mean sending messages like that while I’m working?”
“Ah.”
Seunghyuk smiled, lifting the corners of his lips.
His dark brown eyes stared straight at Hyunwoo.
“Then why didn’t you reply?”
“I told you I was working.”
“You used to send more messages yourself.”
“…….”
That was true, and he couldn’t refute it.
Hyunwoo cleared his throat and turned his head.
“I’ve been busy with projects lately. Don’t send too many messages, and don’t call either.”
“Then what if I have something to say?”
“What could you possibly have to say to me?”
“Lots of things.”
“……!”
Seunghyuk stepped closer and looked down at Hyunwoo.
His pheromone scent wafted strongly.
Hyunwoo shivered.
Seunghyuk’s alpha pheromones weren’t too strong for a dominant alpha.
Or maybe, because he was dominant, he could control the scent skillfully.
It smelled like fresh phytoncides from a forest.
Normally calming, refreshing scents, but now it felt heavy and suffocating.
Hyunwoo frowned, feeling the scent press against him.
“Of course I have something to say. We’re going to be married soon.”
“You…”
Hyunwoo gritted his teeth and glanced around.
He had intentionally said “married” loudly.
As the heir of Munsung, Hyunwoo’s face was well-known at the company.
Before regression, he didn’t care about others’ eyes when planning to marry Seunghyuk, but not now.
Rumors spreading could create unnecessary trouble.
Hyunwoo reached out and grabbed Seunghyuk’s arm.
“Follow me.”
“…….”
He pulled Seunghyuk toward the underground parking lot.
Surprisingly, Seunghyuk followed obediently.
Fortunately, the VIP parking area where Hyunwoo parked was relatively quiet.
Hyunwoo frowned and glanced back.
“What on earth are you thinking?”
“What do you mean?”
“Ha….”
Though he asked reproachfully, Hyunwoo vaguely understood why Seunghyuk was doing this.
It was probably revenge, equal to how obsessed he had been.
Not everything was remembered clearly, but Hyunwoo’s previous obsession had crossed the line.
A few apologies wouldn’t erase it all easily.
Seunghyuk was sweet and gentle with Hyunjin but not with others.
Especially with someone like Hyunwoo, whom he disliked, he often showed a rough side.
Hyunwoo could understand Seunghyuk’s behavior to some extent.
He knew how Seunghyuk acted toward people he disliked and that he only felt satisfied when returning the same treatment.
Hyunwoo exhaled heavily.
“Okay, I understand why you’re doing this. But can’t you hold back a little? Honestly, it’s distracting at work.”
“…You say you know why I’m doing this?”
“Yes, but I… I even apologized recently, right? I was sincere. So…”
“…….”
“…Seunghyuk?”
Noticing something off, Hyunwoo cautiously called his name.
Seunghyuk didn’t respond.
Why is he like this again?
Hyunwoo instinctively stepped back.
Seunghyuk reached out and grabbed Hyunwoo’s arm.
He was stronger than expected, and Hyunwoo couldn’t pull away.
Hyunwoo looked at Seunghyuk with a flustered expression.
“Why, why?”
“Ha… you don’t understand anything. I… how much….”
“What?”
“…….”
Seunghyuk bit his lip and turned his head.
Hyunwoo frowned at his irritated expression.
What’s wrong with him this time?
Could he even dislike the previous apology?
Hyunwoo muttered inwardly about this difficult-to-please protagonist.
“Okay, just let go of my hand. It hurts.”
“…It hurts?”
“Yes.”
“…….”
Startled, Seunghyuk released his grip.
He probably didn’t intend to hold on so tightly.
But he was a dominant alpha.
Hyunwoo had little experience touching him, so he hadn’t realized his strength.
Now, even a brief touch made his wrist ache.
“S-Sorry, hyung. I didn’t mean to hold it so hard.”
“Ha… okay, I get it.”
Hyunwoo brushed his bangs back.
Today, he shouldn’t provoke this overly sensitive protagonist any further.
He exhaled again.
“Send messages, call, do whatever you want until you feel better. But I can’t answer everything while working.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Seunghyuk’s eyes sparkled.
Hyunwoo simply nodded without noticing.
Soon after, he would regret that decision immensely.
Hyunwoo lay down after a long, exhausting day.
Due to sudden regression, he had to prepare as if restarting all projects from five years ago.
Fortunately, these were projects he had already succeeded at, so with accumulated knowledge, it wasn’t difficult, though it would take time.
Lying on the soft sheets with his weary body, he felt relief.
Having just showered, his warmed body became drowsy.
If he closed his eyes, he could sleep immediately.
He felt his vision blur and thought so.
Just as he was about to fall asleep…
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
“…….”
Pretty Seunghyuk, this crazy bastard.
Muttering curses internally, Hyunwoo reached out.
He imagined blocking Seunghyuk’s number dozens of times a day.
He was at his limit.
Grinding his teeth, Hyunwoo muttered.
“Hey, do you know what time it is?”
“I told you to do whatever you want until you calm down, but still, have some conscience! Huh? Aren’t you sleeping?”
“Why did you call and then say nothing?”
He had checked the name before answering.
But when he scolded him, the other said nothing.
Hyunwoo suspiciously checked the caller again.
Pretty Seunghyuk, indeed….
‘Ah, I really need to change that name.’
If he tried, Seunghyuk would send messages, call, rush into meetings, send more messages….
It was an endless vicious cycle.
Hyunwoo frowned at the accumulating stress.
“Uh…”
But Seunghyuk’s voice sounded strange.
Was he drunk?
Feeling uneasy, Hyunwoo asked in a flat tone.
“Are you drunk?”
“…….”
Then why is he like this?
Hyunwoo dropped the phone slightly to check the time.
Due to working late, he had left later than usual.
By the time he arrived home, showered, and came out, it was past midnight.
Tilting his head, Hyunwoo asked,
“Why are you calling?”
“Me?”
Hyunwoo searched the call log.
Seunghyuk’s name appeared as a missed call.
He probably couldn’t answer while showering.
Hyunwoo answered casually.
“Ah, sorry. I couldn’t pick up while showering earlier.”
“Can’t you take it easy? People have privacy. I wouldn’t do that….”
“…Hmm?”
“…….”
What nonsense is this?
Hyunwoo scowled again.
