To Byul (Omegaverse)-Chapter 176: Do I really have to let that bastard go?

After Chin-hwa left the main hall, he started losing breath a lot faster. His breath became rougher and his vision began to blur. He was feeling hot too.

’Is my heart already here?’ he wondered, unable to explain why he was suddenly feeling like he had a fever. He could also feel his Pheromones escaping his body on their own.

It wasn’t his doing.

’I need to get to Kang-woo’s room. Maybe if he performs a little Pheromone shower, I’ll be fine.’ he thought but he couldn’t even stand up straight without leaning on the wall. ’It’s so hot.’ tears whelmed up in his eyes as he held his chest tight, fighting for breath.

It was too hot. He felt he was going crazy. What was this? It was such a frightening feeling he never had before and it was overwhelming him.

’I’m scared.’ he thought and closed his eyes.

He knew he couldn’t stay in the corridor, but he couldn’t bear to take a step. It was too hot and his body wouldn’t move on its own.

At times like this, the name of the one he desperately needed slipped through his lips.

"Kang-woo," he called but the one who appeared before him wasn’t Kang-woo. It was, but after, who wouldn’t let him down no matter what.

By the time Woo-bin had walked out of the hall and into the corridor, the entire corridor had been filled with Chin-hwa’s Pheromones.

He gritted his teeth and hurried till he found Chin-hwa slumped on the floor, having a hard time breathing and tears flowing down his closed eyes.

The image broke him. He had never even seen Hae-won so helpless in his heat, and even if he did, he doubted it would affect him the same way. After all, he had a way to help Hae-won, but for Chin-hwa, he couldn’t help him at all, and that broke him even more.

Chin-hwa managed to open his eyes and saw Woo-bin approaching.

More tears slid down his eyes as he called out in a muffled voice,

"Daddy,"

Woo-bin clenched his teeth harder and then picked Chin-hwa up from the floor, holding him in his arms.

Chin-hwa held him tight and cried.

"I’m scared." He confessed. "I’m scared, daddy. It’s so hot and I... I don’t know what’s going on. It’s not time yet, is it?"

"No, baby, it’s not." He held him tight and his eye glowed red.

He should’ve just killed that bastard.

Chin-hwa’s heat was already near, but they could’ve avoided it from coming on that very night if he had stayed away from Alpha pheromones; that guy just had to prove he was the worst piece of trash on the planet and set off his heat.

"Don’t worry, baby. Don’t worry."

Chin-hwa didn’t know if his father released his pheromones out of protection or if it was just a protective mechanism that he, Woo-bin wasn’t aware of, but he managed to release a calm and soothing pheromone that helped Chin-hwa calm down a bit.

He might’ve been his father but he was still an Alpha. Only, his experience at quelling a heat cycle was through sex so he knew he couldn’t be of help to him.

The most he could do was release the calmest Pheromones he could to soothe his worries. Luckily, he fell asleep. His fever had started going down, but it was still there.

It was clear that he was on his heat already, but if he could only keep it at bay for the night, then the next day, when they landed, Kang-woo could have him and use all the prepared protection to avoid making Chin-hwa a mother at such an early age.

(Ahem, I’d say 21 is a fine age to give birth, don’t you think so? Lol)

Woo-bin brushed Chin-hwa’s hair and watched him as he slept. His temperature didn’t go down past a certain degree no matter what he did.

Well, at least Chin-hwa was no longer in pain.

’Do I really have to let that bastard go?’ he continuously contemplated. ’I want him dead.’

He was extremely vengeful but at the same time, rational. He exhaled slowly and then stood up.

He planned to go out and let the others know about the situation and then come back with Baek-Hyun, hoping his Pheromone could also help a bit.

He could not, in any circumstances, bring Kang-woo there. Even if it was to give a Pheromone shower because then it would blow up into a bigger issue.

With just a whiff of Chin-hwa’s Pheromones, he could very much go into a full rut and then what would be the need to try and delay Chin-hwa’s heat?

’Come to think of it? I didn’t see him earlier.’ he thought. Well, it wasn’t like he was looking out for him or anything. ’He must’ve retired for the night.’

He took just one more glance at Chin-Hwa, sleeping peacefully at a time, and then closed the door, hoping to come back in a few minutes.

Little did he know that the next time he would see Chin-Hwa would be in two to three days.

After Woo-bin left, taking his Pheromones along with him, Chin-hwa started burning up again.

He was hardly wearing anything with only his briefs and his unbuttoned white shirt.

"So hot," he cried out and got down from the bed, but his legs were weak.

He could see now, but how long would it take?

He could faintly smell his father’s pheromones but it was dying out. He opened the door and a distant scent lingered in his nose.

It was Kang-woo’s Pheromones. The one he was craving for right at that moment.

He never thought the day his sensitive nose would be of such great advantage.

Slowly, he made his way to the end of the corridor where Kang-woo’s cabin/room was.

Slowly, he was losing his sight and his breath was becoming even heavier. He could feel the heat coursing through his body and with each step he took, he flinched and looked down at his briefs that were gradually getting soaked from front and behind.

He just needed to take a few more steps, and he would be there in Kang-woo’s room.

But then...

(Bah, just kidding. No ’But then’)

He finally got to Kang-woo’s room door, where the pheromones were slightly and barely slipping through, and banged on it with the little strength he had, but seeing there was no response, he decided to open it on his own.

Carless Kang-woo did not lock the door and so Chin-hwa opened it, only to be bathed by the thick condensed Pheromone that was just waiting to be mixed with his.

As soon as he felt it, his eyes brimmed with ease and he exclaimed,

"There it is. This is exactly," his eye began to close, and he fell, his mind completing his statement. ’...what I was seeking.’

He fell right into Kang-woo’s arms, which were burning as hot as an inferno, and then he cuddled him.

He cuddled Chin-hwa, his eyes dropping tears of regret and relief.

"Oh, Hwa," he mumbled softly. "Why did you come? I... I’m not ready yet."

Still, that did not stop him from digging his nose into Hwa’s hair and taking in his Pheromones.
