Reasonable Loss - 14

“It feels like using someone else’s leftovers. It might be better to throw it away and buy a new one.”

“This is as good as new. It was fixed after the accident.”

“Is that so?”

Dokwon twisted his lips wryly. It seemed like he had no choice since it had already fallen into the water.

Eunsoo sighed deeply. It seemed like he had become a bit tougher. It was understandable since four years of time had disappeared. He had always been a mature person.

Eunsoo sighed lightly and retrieved the phone that had fallen into the glass.

“These days, phones don’t break from this. They are basically waterproof.”

“…”

“Luckily. No need to buy a new one, huh!”

Suddenly, Dokwon firmly grabbed Eunsoo’s elbow. In his rough gesture, Eunsoo, surprised, dropped the glass he was holding, along with the phone. The glass shattered with a sharp sound. The phone’s screen also shattered into pieces as the edges collided with the floor.

Hundreds of cracks appeared over Eunsoo’s smiling photo.

Eunsoo looked at it disappointedly. No, how long had it been since it was fixed! Eunsoo bent down to pick up the phone. However, Dokwon grabbed Eunsoo’s arm even more forcefully.

“It hurts!”

Eunsoo’s face contorted in pain as if his bones were breaking. But Dokwon pulled Eunsoo’s arm even harder towards him. Then, unexpectedly, he buried his nose in Eunsoo’s neck.

Surprised, Eunsoo held his breath. Meanwhile, Dokwon took a deep breath, his pupils shrinking like dots.

“This smell. Is it omega pheromone?”

“Let go, Mr. Dokwon.”

“I’m asking if it’s true.”

“It is! If it’s the smell you’re smelling.”

Dokwon released Eunsoo’s arm abruptly. Eunsoo staggered but managed to regain his balance. Then, he wrapped his trembling arms around himself. Tears welled up in his eyes at the sudden touch. He felt irritated.

Eunsoo frowned. Dokwon’s face also wrinkled significantly.

“Your smell is too strong. It’s unpleasantly strong.”

“What did you say?”

“When you entered the room, it was filled with omega smell. It gave me a headache and made me nauseous.”

“…”

“This level is without suppressants. What’s the reason?”

Eunsoo’s cheeks turned red. It seemed that there was nothing as vulgar as an omega emitting pheromones.

Alphas and omegas were created to be true to their instincts unlike ordinary people. Many alphas and omegas lived obsessed with sex like drug addicts or alcoholics. Most of them emitted pheromones and roamed around.

Eunsoo felt a lump in his chest as Dokwon treated him like that omega.

“I… I can’t take regular suppressants because… I’m pregnant.”

Eunsoo stammered, covering his lips.

“…”

Dokwon’s eyes widened at that. It was the biggest reaction he had shown since regaining consciousness. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a good reaction.

Flustered by Dokwon’s reaction, Eunsoo tried to explain, not making excuses, but stating the truth.

“Since the accident, I’ve been so preoccupied that I haven’t been able to get the pregnancy suppressants yet…”
