Kiss Me if You Can-Chapter 30Vol. 2

“You collapsed in the warehouse alone, what happened? What were you doing there?”

Emma blurted out from the side. She didn’t like the fact that she made her family worry. But Josh was distracted.

“Alone?”

Now that I think about it, who brought me here?

When he had a question, Emma said next.

“Yeah, if it weren’t for Jack, who would have happened? Jack! Come in, you’re my benefactor.”

She said grumpily, then left and came back, dragging the guy who was standing outside the door. He was the guy Emma had a crush on, avoiding Josh’s gaze and shyly unable to speak. Josh was momentarily flustered as he recalled the time he went to beat up his family with his gang and ended up getting nothing.

“You brought me here?”

He stuttered in surprise at Josh’s question.

“Uh, well, I just called 911… … .”

Josh stared at Jack for a moment in silence. Thinking back on the situation before he lost consciousness, there were more than a few suspicious things. Moreover, judging by his hesitation, it was clear that he was hiding something. Josh fixed his gaze on him and opened his mouth.

“Mom, Emma. Can you step out for a moment? I want to talk to you two alone. … … I have to say hello.”

Emma tried to object, but her mother grabbed her arm and she failed. As she was dragged out, she added a warning.

“I’ll be standing in the hallway, so if anything happens, call me, Jack. Josh, if you bother Jack, I won’t let you go.”

“Would Josh really do something like that to his benefactor?”

Her mother scolded her and dragged Emma out. Emma said something as if she was being wronged, but the door closed so she couldn’t hear the details.

The hospital room suddenly became quiet. In the tension, Jack kept looking away to avoid Josh’s gaze. However, since he didn’t run away, it seemed like he was ready to talk to Josh. Josh, who had been watching him like that for a while, opened his mouth.

“What happened? Tell me the truth, it’s just the two of us here.”

She spoke in a quiet voice, but even so, he still couldn’t answer right away. After a long time, Jack finally opened his mouth.

“I happened to hear the guys talking about conspiring, but I didn’t know if they would actually do it. I was hoping, but when I saw them actually go into the warehouse… … .”

“You saw it from the beginning?”

Josh’s voice became sharp on its own. Jack flinched, then apologized in a dead voice, “I’m sorry.” Josh let out a “Huh,” exclaiming in disbelief. Jack seemed to have nothing to say, closing his mouth again and looking at a loss. Josh nervously tried to brush his hair back, but stopped when he belatedly noticed the ringer injection in his arm.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

A ringer injection? I never thought I’d ever get one.

He looked down at his muscular arm in disbelief, let out a short sigh, and opened his mouth as calmly as possible.

“But why did you stay silent? Were you waiting for something to happen to me?”

“Oh, no. That wasn’t it. That’s ridiculous.”

Jack shook his head hastily and denied it. He spoke with difficulty to Josh, who was waiting for an answer.

“It’s just that there were too many guys, so I couldn’t do it alone… … .”

The next thing was that he didn't want to see it. "No, I wanted to call the sheriff." If you were in danger, you were hiding and hiding. He tried to express his excitement and respect for Josh by mixing in some awkward curses. Josh was momentarily speechless at the unexpected reaction. When he came to his senses, Jack was pacing around the hospital room, mixing in his praise for Josh and his condemnation of cowards. Josh was momentarily stunned when he saw him swinging his fists in the air as if he couldn’t contain his excitement.

“Wait a minute, okay. Okay, calm down.”

He belatedly consoled him and made him sit down on the chair, but he couldn’t think of anything to say. Josh paused and opened his mouth after seeing Jack’s freckled, ordinary face, blushing with excitement, looking at him.

“You thought I could handle it on my own?”

“Yes.”

Josh asked him half-heartedly, half-confidently, as he nodded vigorously.

“Haven’t you seen how I can’t handle pheromones?”

“I did.”

Jack answered without any hesitation.

“Whether it’s Omega or whatever, you’re Josh Bailey.”

“… … .”

“I’d never lose to those idiots.”

Jack’s sparkling eyes showed his absolute trust in Josh. Josh was speechless when he saw him.

“… … Yes.”

After a long time, Josh spoke.

“Yes, thank you.”

Only then did he slowly smile, and Jack smiled brightly. When Josh reached out his hand, he shook it, almost jumping for joy.

“It’s a shame you quit being a quarterback, but whatever you do, you’ll be great.”

Josh smiled at the weakling he had ignored for the first time, even showing respect.

“Of course.”

With that greeting, Jack left the hospital room. Emma, ​​who came in a while later to find out what had happened in the hallway, didn’t say anything. The faint blush on his cheeks made him wonder if it had anything to do with Jack, but Josh pretended not to notice.

“Then let’s go. If you need anything, just tell Emma.”

His mother kissed Josh’s cheek and smiled. Emma also said goodbye to him and left the room. Josh, who was left alone, lay there for a moment, lost in thought. I have to get used to this body from now on. I’m an omega, and I’m going to experience a lot of unexpected things.

Just then, the door opened and a nurse came in. After checking that the injection was finished, she connected the next injection and opened her mouth.

“How are you feeling? Are you feeling okay?”

Josh smiled back at her, who smiled.

“Yes, of course. Thank you.”

The smile on the nurse’s face deepened. Josh thought as they had a casual conversation.

It doesn’t matter.

When she told Emma that she was turning eighteen soon and that she was currently single, she gave her a strange smile.

“You’re the same as me in one way, I’m single too.”

With that, she lightly stroked her muscular arm where the injection was. Josh ignored her and smiled instead.

*@Punhap*

The news of Josh’s hospitalization reached all the way to middle school. Not only teachers, but even classmates she had never spoken to asked Emma about Josh.

But Josh likes older girls.

Emma pouted her lips inwardly. Up until now, Josh had been dating girls who were at least the same age or a year or two older than her. There might have been some who were older than that, but as far as Emma knew, there was not a single girl younger than her.

In fact, there was no way Josh would date a middle schooler who was so childish to her. She resisted the urge to yell at everyone to wake up and followed her mother’s instructions to the hospital where Josh was admitted after class. She had been told to go and look around in case they needed anything.

If they needed anything, she would call.

Emma walked down the hospital hallway, looking at her cell phone that had been quiet all day. She usually meowed, but it was still not pleasant to see Josh lying in the hospital. Besides, Jack and Josh seemed to be hiding something. It’s just that they weren’t being honest, so there was no way to find out.

I’ll be good for the time being.

Emma made up her mind. After all, thanks to Josh, she had become much closer to Jack. When she opened the door to the hospital room with a relaxed expression, she realized why he had never called her.

“Oh, Emma.”

“Emma, ​​come in.”

“Hi, Emma.”

The blonde on Josh's right greeted him, Josh waved, and the brunette leaning on his left pretended to know. Emma stood tall with the door open, watching the scene inside the room.

What the heck is this…?

Josh opened his mouth to Emma, ​​who was silently staring.

"I came to visit you. This is Sam, this is Kitty."

"You should be able to bear it when you hear that Josh is hospitalized."

"You don't know how worried I was, but now there's no one to take care of him."

Kitty whispered quietly, talking behind his back.

"

How about leaving it to me?”

Josh was single, right after breaking up with his previous girlfriend. The math was clear. But it wasn’t just one person who had figured it out.

“Josh, I’m the school health officer. I can wear a nurse’s uniform.”

As Sam tried to kiss Josh affectionately, Kitty shoved her shoulder roughly. Sam, who had been pushed back by his guard, quickly regained his balance and glared at Kitty.

“What the hell are you doing?”

“Get out of here. I got here first. I’m more into Josh than you are. Right, Josh?”

“Don’t you dare laugh at me, you idiot. You don’t have any classes with Josh, do you?”

“That’s right, you have A grades, so you have A breasts too?”

“This!”

Emma shouted, unable to stand the prospect of them grabbing each other’s heads and fighting at any moment.

“What are you doing at the hospital? If this is going to happen, both of you get out!”

The two who were about to get angry stopped for a moment. They were angry, but they couldn’t show themselves in front of Josh. Sam, who had regained his composure, spoke first.

“Well, what’s the point of us doing this? Josh is the one who makes the choice.”

“What do you want to do? Who would you like, Josh?”

The two of them started to appeal to Josh in their own ways.

“I learned belly dancing last semester. How about a performance just for you as a discharge gift?”

“Josh, you didn’t attend Mr. Thompson’s class, did you? I’ll organize it. I can do it today. Should we start right now, just the two of us? Let’s get that guy out first.”

“You have nothing to show for anything but studying, you poor slob.”

“I’m smart. I can take care of Josh’s health as well as his studies.”

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

With those words, Sam gave a secret nod and put his hand on Josh’s lower abdomen. At the moment when Kitty’s face turned grim, someone suddenly spoke sternly behind Emma.

“Pseudo-medical practice is against the law.”

The two got out of bed in shock at the appearance of a real nurse. She looked between the two with a cold face and walked straight towards Josh. After checking the injection and writing something down, she looked down at Josh.

“How are you feeling, Josh?”

The women, including Emma, ​​were surprised by the affectionate voice that was incomparable to before. However, Josh smiled and answered casually.

“Okay. Thank you, Christine.”

The nurse smiled at those words, patted his shoulder meaningfully, and turned around. Finally, she looked back and gave a wry smile to the young girls looking at her.

Soon the door to the sickroom closed, and Sam and Kitty looked at each other. Once again, they had a common ground. This was not the time for them to fight.

“Josh, let’s do this.”

Sam opened his mouth. Kitty nodded as well and continued.

“What do you think, the three of you are dating?”

“Huh.”

The one who let out an exclamation of astonishment was Emma. What on earth is so great about that punk? Josh opened his mouth to the two who were looking at him expectantly.

“That can’t be.”

Yeah, you should have that much common sense.

That was when Emma nodded, thinking to herself. Josh shook his head seriously.

“I’ve already tried it, and it didn’t work out.”

… … What did I expect?

Emma, ​​completely fed up, turned around and left the sickroom. Sam and Kitty’s shouts began to echo behind her, and soon the place turned into a battlefield.

When Josh was discharged from the hospital a week later, the girlfriend next to him was not Sam, Kitty, or a nurse. And everyone who saw Josh and his new girlfriend had the same thought.

This too shall pass.

Nothing had changed. Except that he had to take his medication on a regular basis. Once his pheromones stabilized, he stopped being swayed by scents like before.

Emma still chased losers, and Josh's girlfriends kept changing. He had manifested as an omega, but it had no effect on him. Josh still loved his life. So he didn't hide the fact that he was an omega. Until he became a bodyguard.

*@Punhap*

"There's a good job."

When Mark said that one day, everyone's eyes lit up with joy. Mark continued to explain with an excited face.

"The contract is short, but the pay is double, no, triple. There will never be another windfall like this. This is all the result of my hard work.”

“Wow. That’s great, Mark.”

“How much is three times? Damn. I’m coming, Las Vegas!”

“Who the hell are you to pay three times? Isn’t it hard work?”

Mark nodded as Isaac, Henry, and Seth spoke one after another.

“Well, it won’t be easy. She’s a famous actress.”

An actress? Josh thought to himself, as Mark declared.

“Chase Miller.”
