Married For Now-Chapter 59: NESTING

[Two weeks before the long-awaited Yonhee University Festival...]

"WE’RE FINALLY done with Episode 2!"

Sohee and Cho Euntak clapped their hands after Hong Sera checked the final version of Gacha Girl’s Episode 2.

The three of them worked hard for the past weeks.

They managed to finish Episode 1 (with sixty panels) in one week.

Then Episode 2 (with forty-five panels) in five days.

"Just one more episode to go," Sohee said, smiling even though he was a bit nervous since they were finally down to the last episode. "We have two weeks left to finish this masterpiece."

"Seventy panels," Cho Euntak said, taking a deep breath. "We can do this."

Yes, the last episode had seventy panels.

It’s the longest episode since it’s the last one.

That was why their team decided to allot two weeks to make the final episode.

The storyboard was already completed, so there was less work for them now.

I’m glad that we’re almost done, but why does my body feel heavy?

Sohee touched his forehead.

My temperature seems to be normal, so I can’t be feverish.

"We should go home and rest for tonight, and then take a day off tomorrow to recharge," Hong Sera said, clapping her hands once. "Let’s see each other again the day after tomorrow, Sohee Oppa and Euntak-ah."

"Got it, Noona," Cho Euntak said, and then he checked his phone— his face lighting up instantly. "Baek Jeho will pick me up."

Aigoo.

The officetel was really arranged like an office.

In fact, the living room had a huge workstation for three people instead of the furniture you’d usually see in one.

But since it was an officetel, there were two bedrooms there.

Sohee and Cho Euntak would share the guest room whenever they needed to sleep.

Meanwhile, Hong Sera and the nannies would share the master bedroom.

"Euntak-ah, can I be nosy?" Hong Sera asked, smiling playfully. "I want to be nosy about your love life."

Cho Euntak blushed as if he already knew what Hong Sera was going to ask. "Noona, I don’t have a love life, though."

Hong Sera looked surprised.

Understandable.

"I’ll go straight to the point and ask," Sohee said when he noticed that Hong Sera hesitated. "Are you not dating Baek Jeho? That dude is so overprotective of you, Euntak-ah."

"Baek Jeho is just like that because he thinks I’m a dumb kid who can’t do anything right without him," Cho Euntak said, laughing softly as if it wasn’t the first time someone asked about his relationship with Baek Jeho. "Moreover, Baek Jeho and I are both Alphas. Don’t you think it’s weird for two Alphas to date?"

Sohee and Hong Sera answered, saying the same thing at the same time: "No, not at all."

"Euntak-ah, Han Raehyun is an Alpha while I’m a Beta," Hong Sera said. "People would often say Han Raehyun should find himself an Omega, but he still chose me. And he’s choosing me every day. If an Alpha could love a Beta, why would it be impossible for an Alpha to fall for another Alpha?"

Right?

"I’m an Omega and I’m married to an Alpha. People say Kim Heedo and I are the "classic" Alpha-Omega pair, but I really don’t get it," Sohee said, shrugging. Hong Sera knew that his marriage with Kim Heedo was only a contract marriage, but Cho Euntak didn’t know that. Hence, he was being vague. "Euntak-ah, your Secondary Gender doesn’t dictate who you should fall in love with."

"Thank you for saying that, Sohee Hyung and Sera Noona. But, actually, there’s another reason why it’s impossible for Baek Jeho to like me more than as a friend," Cho Euntak said, smiling sadly before he dropped the bomb. "Baek Jeho is into women— not men."

Aigoo.

Hong Sera looked at Cho Euntak as if she was about to cry. "But you like Baek Jeho romantically, don’t you?"

Cho Euntak laughed softly. "I’m already used to this unrequited love of mine, Noona. So, please don’t worry about me."

Hong Sera looked like she wanted to say something. But, in the end, she just kept her mouth shut.

And that was a good decision.

Sometimes, your silence is more comforting to the other person than any encouraging words.

"We should go on a trip or do something fun after we submit our entry," Sohee said in an attempt to cheer up the kids. "Like watching a concert. Actually, now that I’m financially stable, I’d like to go back to fanboying. Would you like me to introduce you to my favorite idol group once the contest is over?"

Hong Sera and Cho Euntak both smiled and nodded— Sohee’s plan to distract the kids seemed to have worked well.

"Yes, Hyung."

"I’m excited to meet your favorite idol group, Oppa."

Right.

It was just unfortunate that Sohee’s favorite idol group from the second generation of idols had been inactive for seven years now.

But they haven’t disbanded, okay???

"HYUNG, are you just going to take a cab?"

Sohee took a deep breath before he nodded.

He suddenly felt sluggish, but his temperature was still normal.

Hence, that was when he realized that he wasn’t about to run a fever.

It’s my heat cycle...

"Your scent..." Cho Euntak said, gulping. "I think you’re about to go in heat, Hyung."

"Aw, your sense of smell as an Alpha is improving, Euntak-ah," Sohee said, smiling at the young Alpha. "Thank you for worrying about me."

"Oppa, shouldn’t you call Heedo?" Hong Sera asked worriedly. "I’m a Beta, so I can’t smell anything. But if an Alpha like Euntak could smell your pheromones, then you might attract a bad Alpha."

"Heedo is busy, so I don’t want to disturb him," Sohee said, assuring the two that he’d be fine. "Don’t worry— I’ll be fine."

"No, you’re not fine, Oppa," Hong Sera said. "If you don’t want to call Heedo because you think he’s too busy to pick you up, then let me drive you home."

***

HONG SERA and Cho Euntak were right.

I’m really not fine at all.

Sohee was grateful that his condition only worsened after he got home.

Yep, I’m really in heat.

He leaned against the door and looked down at the bulge in his pants.

Dammit.

In the past, Sohee could just rub one out and be done with it since he was a Dominant Omega.

But not anymore.

His heat couldn’t be satisfied by a mere masturbation.

Sohee looked at the door of Kim Heedo’s room.

My husband isn’t home, but his clothes are here...

***

"DON’T EVEN think about going home tonight, my dear hoobaes."

Haaah.

Kim Heedo already regretted agreeing to help the Student Council in organizing the upcoming Yonhee University Festival.

The festival was only two weeks away, so they were busy as hell.

And, now, Dohwa Hyung is warning us not to leave until this week’s work is done.

Heedo cursed under his breath, but he got distracted when he got a call from Park Sohee.

Oho?

It’s rare for Hyung to call.

Hence, Heedo excused himself from the meeting and stepped outside the room.

"Yes, Hyung?"

<"Heedo-ya, can I borrow your clothes?">

Huh?

It was so random.

Why would Park Sohee need his clothes?

Moreover, his hyung’s voice sounded strange. It was low, husky, and it sounded like he was a little out of breath...

Wait.

Is Hyung in heat?

And if Park Sohee needed his clothes...

Nesting?

It was a common practice usually done by Omegas in which they would gather up a bunch of pillows, blankets, clothes, and other soft things and turn it into their safe space. In short, a nest was usually a place where an Omega felt comfortable— just as people would use a couch.

More often than not, Omegas gather things that smell like their mates.

That was probably why Park Sohee wanted to borrow Heedo’s clothes.

That’s so freaking cute.

"You can borrow my clothes and all that you’ll need in my room, Hyung," Heedo said, his heart thumping hard and fast against his chest. The thought of Park Sohee using his things to make a nest made him feel excited. "And you can use my things any way you want."

<"Alright. Thank you...">

Park Sohee then ended the call.

I shouldn’t be wasting my time here when my hyung needs me.

Hence, Heedo immediately returned to the Student Council Room. "Dohwa Hyung!" freewebnσvel.cøm

"You may go home to your husband," Kang Dohwa said, covering his nose with his hand. "Your pheromones as a Dominant Alpha are too much for us, Heedo-ya."

Hmm?

Did Heedo’s pheromones smell like he wanted to sleep with Park Sohee?

***

NESTING.

This was the first time Sohee felt the need to make a nest in his entire life.

As a Dominant Omega, just rubbing one out and drinking his medicine was enough for him to deal with his heat.

But after the first time he had sex with Kim Heedo, his heat had become stronger.

So, here he was now.

Sohee wanted to bring Kim Heedo’s clothes, pillows, and blanket to his bedroom.

But his knees buckled.

Hence, he ended up making his nest in the living room.

He laid the blanket on the floor, and then he surrounded himself with his husband’s clothes and pillows.

Ah, I really love Heedo’s scent.

Sohee buried his face in Kim Heedo’s T-shirt, savoring the lingering scent of Kim Heedo there, all the while his hand sliding into his pants.

Heedo won’t come home tonight, will he?
