Join the ServerJu Hyun-jin:
Did you block me?
Why aren’t you answering?
Ha… because of you, Hyung collapsed.
If you don’t come, I’m leaking all his dark history.
xx City zz District yy Road…
Seung-hyuk honestly didn’t believe the message.
Hyun-jin worded it too much like a joke.
And sending a hospital address while claiming Hyeon-woo collapsed?
He came here intending to yell at Hyun-jin for talking nonsense, not because he believed it.
But the moment he saw Hyeon-woo actually lying there in a hospital gown, his mind went completely blank.
“Hyung… what… what is this…?”
“Uh… that’s…”
It was clear Seung-hyuk only heard that he had collapsed, nothing more.
He didn’t know the details.
Hyeon-woo looked up at him awkwardly as he approached.
Then Hyun-jin dropped a bomb.
“Hyung is pregnant.”
“What?”
“He’s pregnant because of you, you trash.”
“……!”
The hostility in Hyun-jin’s voice was unmistakable.
And he had never cursed at another person before.
Both Seung-hyuk and Hyeon-woo stiffened in shock.
“Hyun-jin, ahem… can you step outside for a moment so I can talk to Seung-hyuk?”
“But hyung…”
“It’s fine. Just wait outside for a bit, okay?”
“…Fine.”
Reluctantly, Hyun-jin stepped out—still glaring daggers at Seung-hyuk until the door closed.
Left behind, Seung-hyuk looked completely lost.
“Hyung… what does that mean?”
“Well… so…”
As soon as the room emptied, he asked.
But the moment Hyeon-woo saw Seung-hyuk’s pale, worn-out face, he couldn’t continue.
“…Have you even been eating lately? School starts soon. Why do you look like this?”
“…That’s not the important part right now.”
“It is. So answer first.”
“……”
Seung-hyuk shut his lips stubbornly.
Clicking his tongue, Hyeon-woo glared at him.
Even if his fashion sense was hopeless, he never neglected his self-care.
Why did he look like he’d been dragged through a ditch?
Still—when he came closer, the faint scent of his pheromones eased Hyeon-woo’s discomfort immediately.
No, more accurately, the baby seemed to react positively, calming the pain.
But either way, it helped.
“When I left hyung’s place… I got scared.”
“Scared?”
“…Yes.”
He nodded heavily.
Hyeon-woo tilted his head, confused.
There wasn’t anything significant left in that room—why was he so anxious?
But when Seung-hyuk continued, Hyeon-woo understood.
“Ever since I regressed… I kept dreaming about it. You getting hit by a car.”
“……”
“I thought it faded over the last year, but when I saw you again… the dream came back.”
“……”
“When I couldn’t see you, I dreamed it again. I felt on edge all the time. I thought hearing your voice would help… but I didn’t want to bother you, so I didn’t call.”
“……”
Suddenly he remembered how strangely panicked and clingy Seung-hyuk had been right after the regression.
Calling endlessly if he didn’t reply.
Sending message after message.
It had all been anxiety.
Back then, he didn’t know.
He only got annoyed and called it a nuisance.
Not that he felt guilty—but looking at the wreck in front of him now, he finally understood why.
“…I’m not going to die again. Stop worrying.”
“I know. But still… ha…”
Covering his face with both hands, Seung-hyuk exhaled shakily.
Then, with hollow eyes, he asked—
“Hyung… why are you hospitalized? Is what Hyun-jin said… true?”
“Yeah. I’m pregnant.”
“But how…?”
He looked completely undone.
So Hyeon-woo repeated everything the doctor told him.
With every sentence, Seung-hyuk’s eyes widened further.
“That’s… that actually happened…”
“What do you want to do?”
“……”
He asked casually, pretending to be unaffected—
But inside, he was terrified.
If Seung-hyuk showed even a hint of resentment toward the baby… it would hurt more than he wanted to admit.
He thought he had moved past his feelings.
Maybe he hadn’t.
“Hyung… first of all, I’m sorry. Because of me…”
“It wasn’t ‘because of you.’ It was an accident.”
He cut him off immediately.
Too many circumstances overlapped for it to be anyone’s fault.
Fixing the situation mattered more.
“What do you want to do?”
“…But they said it’s dangerous for you if you keep the baby.”
“Well, they said it could be. They don’t have many cases like this.”
“Honestly… your life matters more to me.”
“……”
He didn’t expect such a blunt answer.
Trying not to show it, Hyeon-woo nodded.
“I see.”
“But hyung’s decision matters most. What do you want?”
“I…”
His lips moved, but no words came out.
He truly didn’t know.
He couldn’t think clearly yet.
“You have time. Think slowly. Your body has to recover first anyway.”
“…Yeah.”
Sensing his turmoil, Seung-hyuk spoke gently.
And Hyeon-woo nodded.
“They said I need your pheromones to stabilize.”
“I understand.”
“……”
Immediately, Seung-hyuk released his pheromones.
A forest-like scent filled the room.
As expected of a dominant alpha, he controlled it effortlessly.
The warm, gentle pheromones wrapped around him like a soft blanket.
Relief spread through Hyeon-woo’s body.
“How is it? Does it help?”
“…Yeah. It feels good.”
“Should I give more?”
“Can you maintain it like this?”
“Of course.”
“Ha…”
It was intoxicating.
He could fall asleep like this.
Breathing in deeply, he felt his entire body relax.
He no longer knew whether the baby liked the scent or he did.
Maybe it didn’t matter anymore.
“Hyung, are you sleepy?”
“Mm-hm…”
“You can sleep.”
“…Mm…”
A warm hand brushed his forehead as his eyes drifted shut.
Wrapped in pheromones, he sank into sleep.
“You’ve improved significantly.”
“Haha…”
The next day, after a full night of rest, he felt lighter than he had in days.
The doctor nodded approvingly.
“But you still need to remain hospitalized. Your pheromone stability is still fragile.”
“For how long?”
“We’ll need to monitor you.”
“I see…”
Sitting up slightly, he nodded.
Beside him, Seung-hyuk spoke.
“How much pheromone exposure does he need? I’ve been giving him a mild pheromone shower since last night…”
“You’re doing well. Continue at a level that won’t strain your body. At least until discharge.”
“Understood.”
“……”
The doctor watched Seung-hyuk for a moment, then smiled faintly.
“It seems you two have talked things through. Have you decided how to proceed?”
“…Not yet.”
“I understand. It’s a very difficult decision. But if you choose surgery, earlier is physically easier, so please consider it within the safe window.”
“……”
The doctor spoke gently but firmly—he was giving medical guidance, nothing more.
Hyeon-woo looked at him seriously and asked—
“If I… if we decide to keep the baby, what are the chances both the baby and I survive?”
“Hyung!”
“Let me ask. We have to consider the worst too.”
“……”
Seung-hyuk’s expression crumpled immediately.
Hyeon-woo stayed calm—he was the one in danger, yet Seung-hyuk looked ready to faint.
He turned back to the doctor.
“Well… yesterday, your condition was extremely poor. But it improved dramatically overnight. It’s hard to predict. You are still in a dangerous state.”
“…I understand.”
“But… the two of you seem to be bonded. Isn’t that right?”
“…What?”
Bonded?
His eyes widened.
The doctor looked between the two of them curiously.
“You both only sense each other’s pheromones. That’s typical of a completed bond.”
“That’s…”
“And for the record—I’m not a beta.”
“……!”
Hyeon-woo froze.
He had assumed the doctor was a beta simply because he emitted no scent.
But now—
He turned sharply toward Seung-hyuk, who stood quietly at his side.
