“…”
“The idea of three people dating, well, it might not be normal for others. But what can we do? You like all three of us, and we like you.”
An inexplicable feeling of pressure mixed into the air.
Under the crushing weight that pressed down on his body, he felt heat rising throughout his entire being.
“So, don’t doubt our feelings. You are our flower.”
A moment later, the first scene of the prologue flashed through his mind.
The story had started with Yoo Joohwan saying, ‘You are our flower,’ to Kim Seunghyun, just like now.
‘…What? Why is he using the lines from the first scene?’
The temperature around him dropped the moment he thought about it.
He felt dizzy with a ringing in his ears, and his heart ached sharply.
He couldn’t even breathe properly due to the piercing pain, as if he were being stabbed with an ice pick.
The blood inside his body felt like it was rushing backward, and his stomach churned as if he were seasick.
“Ugh…”
The pain miraculously lessened as he gasped for breath, clutching his heart, which was beating wildly like an arrhythmia.
“Are you okay?”
Yoo Joohwan rushed over and approached Siho, as if to support him.
When Siho turned his gaze, Yoo Joohwan looked unbelievably cute.
‘What? Me? Yoo Joohwan?!’
Just as he thought he was going crazy, Yoo Joohwan’s lips kept coming into close-up focus.
The slight dimple that formed whenever he spoke, and his slightly downturned eyes, were enough to make his heart tremble.
Siho was horrified to feel his heart reacting differently than before.
‘What the hell is going on? Why is my heart beating when I look at Yoo Joohwan?!’
He couldn’t understand it at all.
“This won’t do. Hop on.”
Moon Dowon turned his back, suggesting they should go to a nearby hospital.
His broad back was so sexy Siho instinctively swallowed.
He wished his hands, which were so large, would grab his butt just once.
‘Am I going crazy? Why did I suddenly become a pervert?!’
It was clear he wasn’t in his right mind.
No, something had gone wrong the moment he heard the novel’s first lines.
The unidentifiable pain and the miraculously vanished ache.
Siho’s face crumpled into a miserable expression.
“Sorry, I think I need to rest.”
The paper bag he was holding dropped to the floor in his alarm.
The words ‘Kang Taeyun Big Corn’ and ‘Moon Dowon Big Corn’ that spilled out were magnified as if through a magnifying glass.
With his heart racing as if a sex demon had possessed him, he quickly picked up the paper bag and put the contents back in.
“Are you sure? Shouldn’t you go to the hospital?”
“No, I’ll be fine if I rest. No, I will be fine.”
He looked at them, pleading for them to go, and was immediately stunned.
It seemed as if a small halo was shining behind the two men.
“Alright, take some rest today. We’ll finish the conversation tomorrow.”
Moon Dowon, sounding slightly softened, replied in a tone of surprise.
Siho couldn’t take his eyes off him, following the movement as he rubbed his neck.
The bursting muscles and bronze skin.
The glimpse of his skin through the partially unbuttoned shirt.
A non-existent desire kept creeping up.
‘Why is this happening… what the hell!’
Confused, Siho took a step back.
Then, he suddenly sped up, rushed into the house, and locked the front door.
“Oh my God…”
Siho covered his mouth, shocked by his rapidly changed emotions, as if he were not one person but two.
Only one thought came to mind: Seo Siho’s emotions might be synchronizing with his own.
“Not memories, but emotions are synchronizing…?”
The moment he heard the line marking the beginning, Siho was hit with an inexplicable, terrible pain.
It felt as if the flow of the atmosphere was slowing down just for him, as if he had truly become the protagonist.
“…This can’t be happening! What kind of novel is this?!”
It wasn’t a normal novel, but one that surpassed R-rated content.
He screamed in belated realization, but every time he thought of the three men, his heart reacted like a madman.
If he had known this would happen, he would have continued stalking them, he wouldn’t have accepted the dating proposal.
He should have pushed Kim Seunghyun to the three men. He was filled with deep regret.
He took a shower to clear his complicated mind.
He had realized when he first transmigrated that nothing would change even if he denied it and suffered.
He realized it was wiser to accept and cope as much as possible, so Siho finished his shower while organizing his feelings.
“So what if my feelings synchronize?”
He could just avoid the three men as he had been doing.
If that didn’t work, his only option was to pack up and run away.
He roughly shook the water from his hair and put on a shower gown.
He found a paper and pen, sat down at the table, and recalled the original plot.
“I wish I had written it down right after transmigrating.”
The content of the novel had become somewhat faint over time.
One thing he clearly remembered was their style of sleeping together.
He only thought about the intimate details of the bed, but he felt a heavy weight inside his gown, proudly asserting its health.
“You crazy idiot, what am I supposed to do if I get aroused?”
Siho quickly started singing the national anthem.
Perhaps because he was wearing a gown instead of clothes, the friction on his skin felt more sensitive.
Siho took a deep breath, holding onto his reason as much as possible.
“Snap out of it, Seo Siho. They say you can survive if you keep your wits about you, even in a tiger’s den.”
He managed to calm his mind and wrote down the details he remembered.
- Starting with Yoo Joohwan, the three men began dating Kim Seunghyun.
- Exposed to the Alpha pheromones, Kim Seunghyun went into heat every day. His condition was so severe he had to take a leave of absence from school due to the blatant pheromones.
- He begged the three men to have sex, and they agreed to sleep together. The passionate sex scenes filled half of the novel. It was a scene that made one realize an immense amount of stamina was needed to handle the three men.
- Seo Siho, who was stalking them, witnessed the scene. He took photos and threatened the three men. He demanded to be loved too, but the threat was meaningless because Moon Dowon, who enjoyed the attention of others, had knowingly allowed the pictures to be taken.
- Seo Siho, consumed by jealousy, attacked Kim Seunghyun and strangled him. He showed his jealousy, saying that if Kim Seunghyun hadn’t been there, that place would have been his. Yoo Joohwan and Moon Dowon, sensing the abnormality, dealt with him.
- Kang Taeyun, who learned about it later, was angry that his Omega had been damaged and took Seo Siho to a dark place and quietly buried him.
- Kim Seunghyun, who found peace, had a happy ending in bed with the three men.
While writing this down, a question suddenly arose.
“Did the three men even love Kim Seunghyun…?”
Things he hadn’t noticed while reading started to become clear after organizing them.
Most shocking was that Kang Taeyun had no significant appearances in the novel’s main story outside of the final cleanup.
Even when he dealt with Seo Siho at the end, it seemed he wasn’t doing it out of love, but out of anger that his possession had been damaged.
A shiver ran down his spine at the thought.
To them, Kim Seunghyun was nothing more, and nothing less, than a means of sexual gratification.
“In the end, it was a novel for the Alpha Tops…”
That’s why he felt he knew why he had synchronized with Seo Siho’s emotions.
Just as transmigration gives a protagonist buff, he had been given the buff of emotional synchronization.
“Since I’ve become the protagonist, am I supposed to enjoy it?”
He wore a serious expression, but conversely, if he used the situation well, just like he succeeded in the stock market, he might be able to survive.
Since he couldn’t sense pheromones, he wouldn’t be the one begging them for sex first.
“I need to pair Kim Seunghyun with the three men.”
Since Kim Seunghyun was the one who reacted to pheromones, he might be able to revert things to the beginning if he played his cards right.
But he also had to consider failure.
It was necessary to thoroughly scout a location they couldn’t find and move his luggage in advance.
“First, I need to take a leave of absence from school.”
Siho got up, determined not to be consumed by them and to be ready to leave at any moment.
After organizing his thoughts, everything felt like it would work out.
Feeling refreshed, he changed into his pajamas and ate dinner.
Even as he brushed his teeth and lay in bed, there was no contact from the three men.
Not even from Kim Seunghyun.
He decided not to think about anything and sleep peacefully since he was tired, and turned off the light.
Just as he was about to close his eyes, he heard a knock from outside.
“…Now I’m hearing things.”
Siho laughed awkwardly and covered his ears.
But the knocking continued, and he realized an unwelcome visitor had arrived.
“Haa…”
With a deep sigh, he wanted to pretend he wasn’t home.
But since the knock came after he had turned off the light, the person outside knew he was home.
Siho turned the light back on, knowing they wouldn’t leave until he opened the door.
“Who is it?”
The most likely person was Yoo Joohwan, who had bothered him the most.
He sighed in partial resignation and opened the door, only to find Kang Taeyun, whom he hadn’t expected.
“…Kang Taeyun?”
