h4Chapter 82: COMMUNICATION IS KEY/h4

    "YOUR FEET are so soft and smooth, Garam-ah."

    Aigoo.

    Garam rolled his eyes.

    He was lying on the big sofa with his head resting against the armrest.

    Song Sihyuk, on the other hand, was sitting on the other end of the sofa while Garam’s legs were on hisp...

    ... while giving him a foot massage.

    "Hyung, please tell me you didn’t develop a foot fetish."

    Song Sihyuk just chuckled, and then he continued massaging Garam’s feet.

    iOkay, the silence is kind of worrying./i

    But he couldn’tin because the Alpha was so good at giving foot massage.

    iAnyway.../i

    After their, uh, intimate moment earlier, Garam and Song Sihyuk took a shower.

    iSeparate, since I’m still shy to take a bath with Hyung even though I have nothing else to hide from him at this point./i

    Instead of heading straight to the bed, they went back to the living room.

    Hyung probably called the cleaning department because the mess that we made on the floor was already gone by then.

    Garam wanted to clean it himself, but Song Sihyuk sent him to the bathroom.

    iI doubt Sihyuk Hyung cleaned it up himself, so my best bet is that he called for cleaners while I was in the shower./i

    "Garam-ah, I told Cho Dongpyo to fuck off."

    Pfft.

    "Hyung, you really talk like a gangster sometimes."

    Song Sihyuk just chuckled. "Anyway, I didn’t agree to give my pheromones to Cho Dongpyo."

    "Good. But why does he need it?"

    "He wanted to make a special batch of miracle pills for a VIP. My pheromones produce the best miracle pills, so he wants them."

    "How do you even take out pheromones from your body? Aren’t they just... scent?"

    "By extracting blood," Song Sihyuk exined. "There’s a machine that vaporizes blood. Only the waterponent of blood evaporates, though. The solidponents, such as red blood cells, remain. And one of those solidponents is the pheromones."

    Oh?

    iSoundsplicated./i

    "That’s the simplified version. It’s actually a lot of exnation. There are special machines and special tools to extract pheromones. Should I go on?"

    "No, thank you," Garam said, shaking his head. Science had never been his strong suit, so he was afraid he’d get overwhelmed. "I’m just d that Hyung didn’t give in. Plus, didn’t your little experiment already end when I turned into an Omega?"

    "That’s true."

    "Don’t do any experiments anymore, Hyung. Especially with your ex."

    Song Sihyuk’s face beamed. "Is that jealousy I detect in your voice, babe?"

    "Maybe, maybe not," Garam answered vaguely, and then he showed his phone to his chaebol husband. "This is the photo that Cho Dongpyo posted, Hyung."

    Song Sihyuk just nced at the photo and scoffed. "I didn’t even know he snapped a photo of me while I was busy texting you."

    "Oh. You were holding your phone because it was when you texted mest night?"

    Garam remembered that Song Sihyuk texted him then, telling him that he wouldn’t be able toe home early.

    iI forgot to reply to Hyung since I got distracted by Lee Eunsang’s text then./i

    "That’s the only time I took out my phone, so I’m sure it was then," the Alpha exined, pausing for a moment. "Don’t mind it, Garam-ah. Cho Dongpyo just likes acting as if we were still close. After we broke up, I was never excessively friendly with him."

    "I know, Hyung. Call me paranoid or whatever, but I have a feeling that he posted that photo on purpose. I think he really wanted me to see that."

    "But how would Cho Dongpyo know that you’d be checking his ount?"

    "He followed our group’s ount. I was curious if he really did, so I checked his page. That’s when I saw him upload that picture."

    To be honest, now that Garam had exined it out loud, he realized he sounded crazy.

    That his conclusion was far-fetched.

    He was ready to be called ’crazy’ by his chaebol husband.

    Thankfully, it didn’t happen.

    "I wouldn’t put it past Cho Dongpyo to do something like that, to be honest," Song Sihyuk said, sighing while shaking his head. "He had been bothering me with text messages, so I was forced to meet him."

    Garam raised an eyebrow.

    Song Sihyuk avoided his gaze as if he were guilty. "I’m sorry. I should have told you that Cho Dongpyo reached out to me as soon as he did."

    Hmm.

    iAm I being too controlling?/i

    "Hyung, this is my first rtionship."

    "I know," Song Sihyuk said, looking at Garam again. "I ’pre-ordered’ you when you were only eighteen years old. I’m a bad adult, remember?"

    Pfft.

    It was funny in a dark humor kind of way.

    "Right," Garam agreed. There was no way to sugarcoat the beginning of their rtionship anyway. And it was true that Song Sihyuk was a bad adult. He had just learned to ept everything because his life had improved anyway. "As I was saying, this is my first rtionship. So, I don’t know if I’m suffocating you. All I know is that I don’t want you near Cho Dongpyo again. I’m aware that you have no feelings for him anymore. But I’d like it if you continue keeping him at arm’s length. Call me jealous, insecure, or whatever. I still won’t feelfortable if you meet him again, especially behind my back."

    iIt’s better safe than sorry./i

    Even so, Garam was still nervous because he didn’t want to act like a crazy boyfriend.

    "Pfft."

    Hmm?

    Garam raised an eyebrow when Song Sihyuk covered half of his face with his hand. "Hyung, it’s toote. I already saw you grinning like a madman. Are youughing at me?"

    "No, of course not," Song Sihyuk answered immediately while shaking his head. "I’m just happy that you’re being jealous."

    "Am I not being too controlling?"

    "You’re far from being controlling, Garam-ah. And I don’t mind even if you be too possessive. I think I’d actually like that."

    Garam wanted to say that they were on the road to being a toxic couple.

    However...

    iOur rtionship has always been toxic from the start./i

    "By the way, Garam-ah."

    "Yes, Hyung?"

    "How did you recognize me in that photo?" Song Sihyuk asked, raising an eyebrow. "My face wasn’t even shown there."

    Ahem.

    "Garam-ah, tell me."

    "If you were in my ce, wouldn’t you have recognized me as well, Hyung?"

    "Yeah, but it’s because I’m so obsessed with you to the point that I would even recognize your silhouette," Song Sihyuk said, raising an eyebrow at Garam teasingly. "Babe, are you getting obsessed with me the way I am with you?"

    AHEM.

    Garam tried to get up and run away because he was too embarrassed.

    But he forgot that Song Sihyuk was holding his feet.

    The Alphaughed, and then he pulled him by the ankle.

    Just like that, Garam’s back hit the sofa again.

    "Ah, Hyung..."

    Garamined half-heartedly when Song Sihyuk got on top of him while spreading his legs.

    And, before he couldin again, the Alpha already captured his lips for a searing kiss.

    Aigoo.

    Garam wrapped his arms around Song Sihyuk’s neck while his legs were wrapped around the Alpha’s waist, kissing him back with as much fervor.

    Ah, crap.

    iI think I’m starting to get obsessed with Hyung, indeed.../i
