Don't You Need an Omega Lucky Charm - Chapter 2.2
Regardless of who he was, he was a person who had gotten hurt while protecting him.
“Are you in pain anywhere? Do you perhaps have a fever?”
Haon placed his hand on his forehead with a worried expression. His body temperature was normal.
Through the hand resting on his forehead, something like warm energy seemed to flow in. It was not pheromones. It was something more fundamental and primal.
‘This is…’
The warmth that began at his fingertips traveled up his arm and spread all the way to his chest. He felt a sharp, tingling sensation like dipping hands into freezing water on a winter day and then plunging them into warm water.
“…Take your hand off.”
Cha Jeongwon spoke in a low, deep voice.
His smooth bass voice carried an undeniable weight. And at the same time,
Beep, beep. A machine sound was heard from somewhere.
“Patient. Please stay back in your bed.”
The nurse, who had been checking the IV fluid at the adjacent bed, heard the sound and quickly approached. Because of that, Haon’s hand resting on Cha Jeongwon’s forehead fell away.
As his hand fell, the earlier warmth vanished together with it. It was strangely regrettable.
The nurse looked at the monitor, pressed a few buttons, tilted her head in confusion, and turned around. In the meantime, the fluorescent light flickered once.
Haon looked up at the ceiling.
‘What is this?’
However, there was no time to pay attention to these unfamiliar omens.
Cha Jeongwon slowly raised his upper body. Even though he was merely sitting, his size and aura were overwhelming.
“Who are you?”
Cha Jeongwon’s eyes narrowed. The gaze scanning Haon up and down was extremely cold and sharp. It was as if appraising an object.
‘Huh? Amnesia, by any chance?’
He was already looking for a way not to get involved with him anyway, but if so, that changes things.
He also knew that Cha Jeongwon did not have a good personality. How could an unfortunate artist have a good personality!
Besides, his own presence in the original work seemed to have been so faint that it was hard to say he was even mentioned. He hated to admit it, but he had to assume he was not mentioned at all.
Just some nameless passing junior 1. Exactly that level.
Above all, even if he recalled memories of his past life, he did not want to be swept up in the original work.
‘I am Yoon Haon.’
Haon wanted to live his own life just like this.
Of course, being by Cha Jeongwon’s side might have its own advantages. Since he roughly knew what would happen to Cha Jeongwon after he returned to school following the major accident, there might be some crumbs falling his way.
‘No. Let’s not entertain useless thoughts.’
Getting involved in the protagonist’s life will only get me caught in the crossfire for nothing.
First and second, a stable graduation was Haon’s goal for this entire year.
“I was just someone passing by. I am sorry.”
Great, that was natural.
It was just as Haon was about to turn his body around.
“Hey.”
Cha Jeongwon grabbed Haon’s arm. Once again, a strange feeling arose.
It was not mere warmth. This time, it was more intense. Should he call it a sense of stability, as if finding his proper place.
‘Is it a pheromone issue?’
Anyway, he was a famous Alpha, and he himself was an Omega.
While pointlessly trying to recall when his heat cycle was, a beeping sound was heard from beside them again.
“Why does this keep having an error?”
The nurse who had passed by earlier came back again, looked into the monitor, and pressed a few more buttons. Cha Jeongwon and Haon paused their movements for a moment.
Soon, the nurse who adjusted the equipment walked toward another patient.
It was already the second time. Every time Haon touched Cha Jeongwon, a strange phenomenon was occurring nearby.
If it were anyone else, they might call it a coincidence, but Haon alone could not just brush it off.
‘It’s a signal from the universe to run away!’
A warning that he must absolutely not be by that person’s side!
“I asked who you are. You’re a face I’ve never seen before.”
“I am…”
“Are you in the same department? Seeing how you call me senior, you seem to know me. Besides, you don’t look like a freshman.”
“Yoon…, Haon.”
His voice trembled faintly.
“The same Interior Architecture and Design department as you, senior. I am in my graduation year this time.”
He subtly let him know that even though their student ID numbers differed due to Cha Jeongwon returning after a long leave of absence, they were in a position to prepare for graduation together. It was an introduction subtly pointing out that they would be seeing each other often in the future.
Of course, it did not mean he intended to stick close to him, but rather that if they bumped into each other, knowing just that much would be enough.
He wondered if this was sufficient, but Cha Jeongwon’s gaze did not fall away from Haon.
“The reason we are in the hospital together is…”
“We rolled down together.”
Well. So it wasn’t amnesia.
As Cha Jeongwon exerted force in his hand, Haon felt a sharp pain in his elbow. It was near the spot where the gauze was attached.
“Ah, I am fine. It’s not like I need a medical certificate for a wound of this degree…”
“I’m asking if you’re pretending to be my guardian when you’re the one who got hurt because of me.”
He wasn’t asking if he was okay, but trying to scold him?
Haon was dumbfounded. Even so, because of whom did it end up like this? What made him act so confident?
“Um, it stings a bit and hurts. Could you let go of my hand…”
Haon could not finish his sentence. It was because Cha Jeongwon suddenly stood up without warning. Reflexively, Haon’s body flinched.
