Don't You Need an Omega Lucky Charm - Chapter 10.2
Inside the narrow space, that scent mixed with Cha Jeongwon’s heavy pheromones and spread. As the sweet yet soft texture diffused along the air, the roughly interrupted breathing right in front of him changed to become just a little steadier.
The sound of someone inhaling overlapped in the dark.
It was impossible to distinguish whether it was Haon’s or Cha Jeongwon’s.
Only after inhaling did Haon’s heart begin to beat wildly. The heat rose to his face as if it would burst.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
The sound ringing inside his ears felt like vibrations thumping against the elevator wall.
“Um…….”
He barely squeezed out his voice, but the tone would not come out well.
The inside of his throat was dry, and only his ears were burning hot.
“Just now, that was really, I…….”
Not knowing what to say, he just grabbed whatever came out.
“The elevator pushed me first again.”
The exact same excuse he had made earlier flowed out of his mouth once more.
The situation was a bigger mess, but the excuse had not changed.
In the dark, he could not see at all what kind of face Cha Jeongwon was making.
However, his breathing had changed. Earlier, his breath kept catching, but now it had turned steady.
Even though it was practically an accident, they had kissed; so why did he become calmer than before?
On the contrary, it was Haon who was gasping for air.
‘Why is this kind of thing happening to me?’
Right then, after a squeaking noise sounded above his head…… the lights soon turned on.
His eyes stung. In the brief moment Haon reflexively closed and opened his eyes, the world reclaimed its shape.
The first thing that entered his sight was the face of the person standing right in front of him.
A distance where they could touch if he just reached out his hand.
Cha Jeongwon’s face, which had been invisible until a moment ago, was clearly visible beneath the lighting.
Haon did not even have room to escape from that gaze. His eyes soon fixed onto a certain part of Cha Jeongwon’s face.
Around the lips.
Was it just his imagination? Unlike usual, a reddish hue was spreading there.
Without realizing it, the tip of his tongue swept across his own lips once. It felt as though the sensation still remained.
It was tingling, and subtly hot.
[We are currently restoring the system, so please wait a moment.]
The voice of the building management staff echoed over the speaker, breaking the awkward silence.
After a moment, the elevator began to move slowly.
The floor shook ever so slightly, and the 1st-floor indicator light turned on. As the doors opened, the building management staff hurried over.
“Are you two alright? You must have been very startled. Should I call 119?”
It was a routine check, but none of it entered Haon’s ears.
His ears were still filled with the sound of his own heart.
“No need.”
Cha Jeongwon answered briefly. His expression was calm as usual.
As if the kiss just now and being stuck in the elevator were merely one of many exhausting incidents.
‘No, wait, this is his usual tension?’
Haon let out a deep breath for no reason. His legs were still trembling slightly.
“Are you really going to be okay?”
The building management staff asked once more. This time, Haon nodded his head first.
“Yes, I’m okay. Really.”
Though he spoke like that, his head was filled only with other thoughts.
He got stuck in an elevator. Even the lights went out.
His head was dizzy because of the Alpha pheromones. In the midst of that, he kissed Cha Jeongwon.
‘At this rate, this isn’t just getting caught up in something.’
Even if it was an accident, jumping into his arms with his own feet and rubbing lips.
So it was not something Cha Jeongwon caused, but Yoon Haon, himself directly……
‘Ah. I’m really going crazy.’
A parade of accidents continued ever since the day he rolled down the stairs.
It felt as though he had been properly stamped by the god of misfortune.
He needed to avoid him. In the beginning, he definitely thought so.
There was more to lose than to gain from him. He did not have a single grain of desire to become the Omega charm Cha Jeongwon spoke of.
That was the remaining protagonist’s share, not a fate meant for him.
Staying far away from the typhoon of misfortune, finishing the semester, graduating, and living their own separate lives would be the end of it.
However, once even the elevator accident occurred, his thoughts changed.
‘This…… isn’t something that will end just by avoiding him.’
It was rather the opposite.
Right at that moment, as if cutting through Haon’s thoughts, the sound of a phone vibrating was heard.
Haon rummaged through his own pockets before realizing the sound was coming from beside him.
“Senior, your phone is ringing.”
Cha Jeongwon pulled his phone out from his pocket.
[Congratulations, customer! You have won a 1-night stay in the S Hotel Lucky Draw Suite Room.]
