Reasonable Loss - 15

At that moment, Dokwon grabbed Eunsoo’s wrist again. Eunsoo’s mouth shut tight. Their eyes met closely.

“Could it be… that’s my baby?”

Dokwon said in a trembling voice. It was a strange mix of surprise and anger in his voice.

Eunsoo swallowed dryly. For a moment, he wanted to run away. Even though the child wasn’t made by him alone or secretly, the thought that Dokwon might hate the child made him want to escape from him immediately.

But that wouldn’t be right. Eunsoo had a duty to stand tall in front of the child. It was a natural obligation as the child’s father.

“Yes. Your child.”

Eunsoo said calmly, without hesitation. One of Dokwon’s eyebrows raised in surprise.

“…Are you sure? That I… slept with you?”

“Yes.”

“Do you know what sleeping means? It means sex.”

“I know.”

“So, I had sex with you?”

“…”

“And got you pregnant?”

The conversation was taking an odd turn. The explicit words made Eunsoo uncomfortable. He sighed lightly and twisted his wrist.

“It hurts. Let go of this first…”

But Dokwon’s grip grew stronger. His wrist felt like it would snap like a stick. Eunsoo tried to pull it out, but Dokwon lowered his head and whispered in a voice only Eunsoo could hear.

“Well, you can have sex as much as you want. Whether you have sex with a pig or an omega like a slut, what’s the difference.”

In the rut, with an omega, with a pig. Eunsoo closed his eyes tightly at the sharp words and then opened them.

‘Rut’ is a biological phenomenon that occurs twice a year for alphas. It can be described as a kind of heat cycle solely focused on reproduction. Omegas also have a heat cycle called ‘heat cycle’ once every few months.

Nowadays, with advanced medical technology, it could be controlled with suppressants and medications, but without them, it was terrible. It led to becoming like a wild pig seeking only pleasure.

So, Dokwon was claiming that due to that rut, he pursued pleasure like a wild pig, slept with me, and as a result, I got pregnant.

“…”

It was an endlessly vulgar conversation. Dokwon’s thoughts going uncontrollably were disgusting.

That day, the day the child was conceived. The love and romance we created were so beautiful that they couldn’t be degraded like this. It was so full, warm, and passionate.

As alphas and omegas, they were indeed thirsty for each other and desired pleasure, but they weren’t chaotic enough to be reduced to beasts.

Dokwon’s denial of all those emotions, senses, and time felt strange to Eunsoo. No, it was more than strange; it was frightening.

Eunsoo felt his chest tighten as if he had swallowed a rock. His head hurt. His eyes felt heavy and filled with deep exhaustion. Breathing in and out felt like a laborious task.

In a moment, Eunsoo’s pale face made Dokwon’s grip loosen. His eyes twitched. Eunsoo couldn’t take his gaze off Dokwon’s face filled with sadness.

Eunsoo pulled his wrist away. Dokwon’s handprint was faintly visible. Eunsoo extended his sleeve to cover it. Then, he smiled faintly.

“It’s late. I’ll leave now. Don’t skip meals.”

“…”

“I’ll come back tomorrow.”
