Don't You Need an Omega Lucky Charm - Chapter 26.2
It was not a conclusion he had thought deeply about, but then again, it was not an aimlessly thrown joke either.
“…What?”
Cha Jeongwon’s eyebrows rose very minutely and then settled back down.
“Whether I roll along with you or not, we will know if you watch over me for a week, right?”
Ha-on smiled. He barely managed to press down hard on his lips, which were trying to tremble.
“Just accept me for that duration only. Once it ends, don’t accept me anymore.”
It was not purely a feeling of wanting to give Cha Jeongwon warmth.
Ha-on also had something he wanted.
Whether luck was working, whether pheromones were working, or whether something including both of those truly got entangled only with this person, Ha-on wanted to confirm it under the name of lovers.
There was one more thing.
How many times would a surprise act work on Cha Jeongwon if he wasn’t his lover!
Ha-on took a step closer toward Cha Jeongwon. He also let out his own pheromones without hesitation.
Since there were no people around, it was quiet enough that even a single breath seemed to be heard clearly.
Ha-on put strength into his feet, intending to follow if Cha Jeongwon ran away.
“You suspected me all this time as well, Senior. Back then I felt really wronged, but I can understand why you acted like that too.”
Ha-on intentionally nodded his head. He acted as if he had already forgotten that Cha Jeongwon had erased his suspicions and came looking for him.
“So you watch over me too, Senior. Judge for yourself what it’s like when I hit on you with genuine intent.”
Even while proposing to Cha Jeongwon, Ha-on did not avoid his eyes.
Rather, he raised his head a little higher.
“Right now, I am giving a chance to myself and to you, Senior.”
Ha-on spoke clearly and articulately.
The breath passing between his lips felt strangely vivid.
“Take this opportunity to judge.”
The end of Ha-on’s words trembled slightly.
Unlike the cold night air, the space between the two of them was strangely hot.
The light on the hotel sign flickered from afar.
Cha Jeongwon opened his mouth and then closed it.
As the distance between the two narrowed, the scent became clearer. The thick-lined scent unique to an Alpha grew darker, as if shaken by Ha-on’s proposal.
Over the back of Ha-on’s hand, a broad hand overlapped. It was not pulling him in with force, nor was it laid over him loosely.
That ambiguous touch actually made Ha-on’s heart surge even more. It felt like he could shake it off if he made up his mind, but somehow it also felt like he would never be able to pull it out.
“Don’t say you feel wronged later on.”
“If the version of me you watched over is a sly Omega with ulterior motives, then I’ll have to admit it.”
“Keep your promise.”
Cha Jeongwon accepted Ha-on’s proposal.
One week. It was a time that was long if long, and far too short if short.
However, the fluttering excitement Ha-on felt was so great that it wouldn’t envy any couple.
“Then what shall we do first?”
When Ha-on spoke with a shy smile, Cha Jeongwon answered right away as if he had something in mind.
“Hotel.”
“…Pardon?”
For a moment, Ha-on wondered if he had heard wrong.
“Dinner.”
Cha Jeongwon’s words ended in one word. And then he pulled Ha-on’s hand.
“Ah…”
Ha-on realized the meaning of his words late.
The premium dinner voucher.
Until just a moment ago, it was a single piece of paper, but now it had become their first date schedule.
“Right now? How long has it been since we ate tteokbokki?”
“I got hungry.”
His tone of voice was still indifferent. However, the strength entered into his hand felt far from indifferent. It felt as if there was no gap to run away from the very beginning.
Leaving the alleyway, they went out to the street. The street sparkled with all kinds of lights, such as signboards, streetlamps, and car headlights.
Even while walking, squeezing between people, the two of them did not let go of each other’s hands until the end. It was a close distance where their shoulders almost grazed. He kept being conscious of their overlapped hands.
Throughout the walk, the gazes of people were felt.
Once or twice he thought it was just his imagination, but somehow, as they kept meeting eyes, his chest thudded.
Do we… look like a couple?
The pheromones of Ha-on, who had been single his whole life, surged.
Ah, pheromones.
Ha-on paid attention to his pheromones late.
While asking Cha Jeongwon to date, he had intentionally unleashed his pheromones. He had intended to gather them back up afterward, but he didn’t know they would still be leaking out continuously.
Was that all?
Today was unusually sweeter than usual. At the sweet taste that seemed mixed with excitement and anticipation, Ha-on read Cha Jeongwon’s expression. What if he dislikes it because his pheromones are too sweet?
However, Cha Jeongwon said nothing.
