Chapter 127: Unraveling Pressure

“…?”

Kwon-oh tilted his head slightly as he sensed the pheromone drifting faintly from Hyun-woo.

It was the familiar mint scent, yet something about it felt different — though he couldn’t pinpoint what.

But the scent stirred his nerves, heightening his agitation.

Almost as if he were sensing an Omega’s pheromone, not an Alpha’s.

With his face pressed briefly against Hyun-woo’s neck, he exhaled sharply.

“Ha… Joo Hyun-woo, release more pheromones.”

“No… ngh…”

“Damn, this is insane.”

The pheromone was dangerous.

An Alpha’s pheromone should have made him cautious — not drawn in.

Perhaps the drug worsening Hyun-woo’s condition was altering the atmosphere entirely.

He had never used these types of substances on another Alpha with the intent to overpower them.

Even the recordings made for blackmail were usually of intoxicated individuals paired off in rooms, not situations like this.

Treating Hyun-woo as if he were an Omega had been Do-kyung’s suggestion — born from his unhealthy fascination with him.

And Kwon-oh, driven by resentment, agreed since it would be humiliating for Hyun-woo.

The outcome was, in their eyes, effective.

Seeing Hyun-woo weakened, disoriented, and barely conscious fed into their intended cruelty.

Kwon-oh’s expression twisted with dark satisfaction.

“At this rate, even forcing him to struggle might look dramatic.”

“Hh…”

Kwon-oh’s hand pressed near Hyun-woo’s jaw, tilting his face upward.

In his mind, he pictured exerting control, pushing a weakened opponent into a position where they could not resist.

His grip tightened slightly as intrusive thoughts flickered through him.

He imagined how easy it would be to push Hyun-woo completely past the point of coherent awareness.

His voice dipped.

“Come on… react a little more, Joo Hyun-woo. Hm? Then I might consider easing up.”

“N-no… hff…”

“That’s barely even an effort. Seems like you’ll need more ‘training.’”

“……”

Kwon-oh clicked his tongue, dissatisfied.

Do-kyung, watching quietly, let out a silent laugh.

Kwon-oh was speaking as though this would not be the last time he acted this way — unaware of how revealing his own words were.

Do-kyung recalled when his interest in Hyun-woo first began.

At first, he had been drawn to Hyun-jin, admired widely at school.

But after meeting Hyun-woo, he found himself gradually intrigued.

As a Beta, he couldn’t sense pheromones, so whether someone was Omega or Alpha never mattered much.

But Hyun-woo had always been a peculiar presence — someone who seemed strangely more fitting in roles opposite of what his rank implied.

And now, seeing Hyun-woo’s dazed, vulnerable state, Do-kyung felt he had been correct.

It was unsettling how naturally Hyun-woo seemed to slip into a powerless position under such coercion.

His breathing hitched, his expression unguarded.

It stirred an excitement in Do-kyung’s eyes, though he kept his distance.

“Respond properly, Joo Hyun-woo. Show some clarity.”

“Haa…!”

Kwon-oh barked an order, his temper rising.

But Hyun-woo, overwhelmed and drugged, could barely control his movements.

The more he failed to respond, the more agitated Kwon-oh became.

“Kh—!”

“What, is it too much for you already?”

“Ugh…”

Hyun-woo was running out of breath, his body trembling with exhaustion, close to collapsing entirely.

No one in the room intended to help.

Eventually, his shaking form went limp again.

“…?”

Do-kyung, more perceptive than the others, noticed a disturbance outside.

Yes, the club was always loud, but this felt different — sharp, chaotic.

Do-kyung’s eyes flicked toward the door.

Without warning, the door burst open.

“Boss!”

“What is it? I said no one enters.”

“It’s—there’s a problem.”

“A problem?”

Do-kyung frowned deeply.

No one would come all the way to this restricted room unless it was truly urgent.

A chill crept up his neck.

“The police have stormed the building! We’re trying to hold them back but— they’re heading straight—agh—!”

“……!”

They had paid the police a fortune.

For them to suddenly raid the place was unthinkable.

And even more shocking — the employee reporting the situation suddenly collapsed sideways.

Someone else appeared behind him.

“Hyung!”

“You—how did you get here…?”

Do-kyung muttered in disbelief.

The sight before him felt unreal.

A man, drenched in sweat, breathing hard, staring into the room with desperation—

“……!”

His gaze locked onto Hyun-woo.

Hyun-woo lay collapsed, unconscious, barely clothed in a disheveled white shirt, red marks scattered across his chest that clearly showed he had been mishandled.

Seung-hyuk’s face sank into a chilling stillness.

His eyes slowly turned toward Kwon-oh.

Their gazes met.

Seung-hyuk’s expression remained calm—

—right before an overwhelming explosion of pheromones erupted from him.

“Kh—!”

Even Kwon-oh, a dominant Alpha, staggered.

Do-kyung and the guards — all Betas — instinctively shrank back in terror.

A primal warning ran down their spines:

Do not provoke this beast.

Seung-hyuk stepped into the room.

The oppressive pheromone filled the air, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Kwon-oh, being an Alpha himself, was the only one able to lift his head enough to face him.

His eyes widened as Seung-hyuk approached him and Hyun-woo.

“Cha Kwon-oh. You finally crossed the line…”

“Kh…”

Even an Alpha of Kwon-oh’s caliber could barely withstand this pressure.

He gritted his teeth, trying to resist, but Seung-hyuk’s fury was overwhelming.

Seung-hyuk reached out and grabbed Kwon-oh by the throat.

A slight increase in pressure could have snapped his neck.

He considered it—
just killing this parasite before the police arrived.

His expression darkened with that thought—

But then—

“…kh—cough…!”

“……!”

Even unconscious, Hyun-woo reacted painfully to Seung-hyuk’s raging pheromone.

Startled, Seung-hyuk immediately released Kwon-oh.

Kwon-oh collapsed to the floor, barely conscious.

“Hyung, are you okay? Please… hey.”

“Haa…”

“……”

Seung-hyuk, swallowed by anger moments ago, snapped back to reality.

He had come knowing where Hyun-woo was, intending to get him out before police involvement complicated everything.

If the authorities found Hyun-woo in this state, willingly or unwillingly, it would cause severe trouble.

Seung-hyuk lifted Hyun-woo’s limp body into his arms.

Then he glanced at Do-kyung — and the phone recording everything.

He snatched it from his hand with ease.

Do-kyung, frozen, said nothing.

Seung-hyuk shot him a look full of disgust.

Cleanup would be Seong-yoon’s job now.

Without hesitation, Seung-hyuk carried Hyun-woo out of the room.


“Gasp…!”

Hyun-woo jolted awake.

He felt as if he had just woken from a terrible nightmare.

His body was unbearably heavy.

He couldn’t move even a finger.

Though his eyes were open, the surroundings were dark.

He grimaced from the splitting headache and tried to focus.

Someone was in front of him.

“Who… ngh…”

“…Hyung, are you conscious?”

“…?”

The voice was familiar, but his foggy mind couldn’t place it.

He blinked sluggishly, unable to think clearly.

“Ugh…!”

Suddenly, his entire body flushed with heat.

The surge made him grit his teeth as uncontrolled pheromones leaked into the air.

“…Even after removing most of it, you’re still reacting like this,” the voice murmured.

“Wh… removed… what…?”

“Hyung, I don’t think we have a choice.”

“…?”

Hyun-woo frowned in confusion.

Someone approached him.

The blurred outline sharpened—

“…Lee Seung-hyuk?”

“Hyung… I’m sorry. Just bear with it a little longer.”

“What do you— ngh…!”

A sharp pain radiated from below, stopping his breath.

A place that had never hurt before — a place that shouldn’t have.

Hyun-woo’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked down.

And then his expression froze completely.
