Clap - 22

It was a futile trick. He couldn’t close his mouth. Ihyun was pressing down on his chin, keeping it wide open. Jaemin realized for the first time how wide he could open his mouth. He also learned for the first time how much a human genitalia could swell.

The glans poking his throat was uncomfortable, not because of taste or smell, but simply due to its size.

Ihyun’s genitalia pushed in until it reached the back of his throat, halting further entry as it was blocked. Ihyun’s forehead creased in dissatisfaction. He wished it had gone further.

Jaemin’s fingers and toes twitched. His body trembled as if he had a fever, and his face turned red as if it would burst at any moment. His swollen eyes blinked rapidly, as if he would collapse at any moment.

Ihyun, examining Jaemin closely, finally let go of Jaemin’s head as if there was no other choice. Jaemin jerked his head back.

Jaemin opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath. His lungs hurt from not being able to digest the rushing air.

Jaemin clenched his teeth tightly. He refused to open his mouth. It was a clear act of defiance. But then, a warm sensation pressed against his lips.

Ihyun warned not to bite, but Jaemin had no intention of complying. As soon as it entered, he bit down hard, thinking that crying out loud would be better.

It was a futile trick. He couldn’t close his mouth. Ihyun was pressing down on his chin, keeping it wide open. Jaemin realized for the first time how wide he could open his mouth. He also learned for the first time how much a human genitalia could swell.

I couldn’t die so easily. However, my weak limbs did not obey Jaemin’s will. Jaemin writhed under the bed. His knees did not move as if corroded.

The cold floor provided an eerie calm. Jaemin’s eyelids gradually lost their movement. He was about to close his eyes. The door opened, and Ichan and Ihyun rushed in.

As soon as they checked the boiling heat, they jumped out and then returned. Their hands were full of something, but it was unclear what.

No, I wasn’t curious. I’m dying now, anyway. Still, thinking of escaping from those brothers made it less grim.

A smirk crossed Jaemin’s lips.

When Jaemin regained consciousness, he was in the bathtub. It was not a narrow bathtub as usual, but a bathtub as big as a bed. It was large enough for three or four adults to fit in.

His body felt heavy in the water. Occasionally, small pellets touched his skin, they were irregular ice pieces.

Sitting in ice water in the middle of summer was unusual. Even in summer, not many people would immerse themselves in water with ice floating.

Moreover, what was even more strange was that despite being in the ice, he did not feel cold. The flames ignited in his body met the ice, creating a strange harmony.

“Are you awake?”

It was Ihyun’s voice. Jaemin’s pupils rolled in the direction of the sound. Ihyun was sitting on the edge of the tub, water dripping on Jaemin’s shoulders. His hands were strangely red from the cold.

“There’s not much time left for the manifestation.”

“⋯⋯.”

“If your body temperature fluctuates, it means Jaemin is gradually transforming into Omega smoothly, so don’t worry too much.”

I’m not worried about that. I had a lot to say, but it was difficult to move my lips. Like escaping from reality, Jaemin closed his eyes and stretched out his limbs. He wanted to sink into the water. He felt like he needed to immerse his head, boiling with heat, in the cold water to breathe.

But just before his chin submerged, a large hand grabbed Jaemin’s armpit. His body was pulled up sharply. Jaemin blinked and turned his head. Ichan was holding him in his arms. Apparently, he was holding him tightly to prevent any danger from leaving him lying in the bathtub in an unconscious state.

Ichan’s face looked pale. His lips were blue. He was like a human suffering in icy water. Jaemin’s eyebrows twisted into a figure-eight shape.

“⋯⋯How long have I been here?”

He asked Ihyun in a hoarse voice.

“An hour and seven minutes.”

Ihyun replied, looking at his wristwatch.
