This meant that to Kang Taeyun, Siho was still not a special existence.
Yoo Joohwan liked stimulating things, and Moon Dowon only got excited when someone was watching him.
Now, Siho finally understood why the three Alphas could engage in ‘fair play.’
“Did you get hurt?”
Yoo Joohwan approached and checked Siho’s arm.
The distinct red handprint on his arm seemed to satisfy him, as a dimple appeared beside his mouth.
“I guess I couldn’t control my strength.”
Unlike a typical Beta, an Alpha’s strength was greater than that of a normal person.
Since they were all True Alphas, it was natural for the area to swell up red from the forceful grip.
“Still, ointment is too much. I could have just licked it with my tongue.”
“He’s a Beta.”
“Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black? I only grabbed him, but you completely bit his neck, didn’t you?”
When Kang Taeyun replied, Yoo Joohwan removed the jacket with a slightly displeased look.
The exposed area had turned a deep blue, as if bruised.
“So?”
“That’s just how it is.”
Yoo Joohwan casually tossed the words at Kang Taeyun, who asked in a much lower tone, and then properly adjusted Siho’s clothes.
He also gave Siho a look that implied he intended to have clean fun today, assuring him.
Just then, Moon Dowon opened the front door and entered.
He was holding a box, like someone who had just done a big grocery run.
“The mart must be far from here. Did you go all the way there?”
“I ordered it.”
“Delivery?”
“Something similar.”
Moon Dowon approached the table and set down the groceries he was holding.
Siho could smell cigarette smoke on him.
He looked like someone who had been waiting outside for a long time.
Yoo Joohwan took out fruit and alcohol from the box and asked indifferently.
“Were you watching again?”
“Yes.”
“And? Did you get excited?”
“Not really.”
“It’s a shame, but what can we do? Today isn’t the only day.”
Yoo Joohwan replied lightly, and Moon Dowon chuckled with a ‘Tsk,’ took the fruit, found a colander, and began washing it.
As Siho watched his natural movements, he noticed a small window above the sink.
‘No way…’
Siho instinctively stepped back.
Moon Dowon had been watching him through that small window all this time.
If he had known, he would have unzipped his pants and let his erection dangle toward the window.
Siho unconsciously tapped his lip, clicking his tongue in regret.
“What am I thinking right now!”
“What?”
“Huh? What is it?”
Kang Taeyun asked with an innocent face at the words that unintentionally popped out.
Siho feigned ignorance and helped them set up the drinks and snacks.
When the setup was complete and Siho sat down, Kang Taeyun sat beside him, and Moon Dowon sat opposite him.
“What? So what about me?”
Yoo Joohwan slightly furrowed his brows, pulled up a chair, and sat in the middle of the table.
Although he was now positioned like a king, he was delighted that he was sitting next to Seo Siho fairly.
“But when did you all arrive here?”
Siho asked the three men, looking at Moon Dowon pouring the beer.
It was the question he had wanted to ask earlier.
Clearly, when Kang Taeyun came, the other two weren’t there, and Siho thought he had also left.
He understood Kang Taeyun being there, but he didn’t understand why Moon Dowon and Yoo Joohwan were there.
“Did you leave and come back?”
“No. We’ve been here the whole time.”
“…You never left?”
“No. We stayed because we were worried about you. We only left for a moment to eat when Kang Taeyun arrived.”
Siho’s face looked horrified at Yoo Joohwan’s words that they had been here since the afternoon, as if they were on shifts.
It was his fault for not checking his surroundings, assuming they had gone back.
No, thinking that they had watched his actions through that small window made a cold sweat break out on his back.
“…Did you see everything?”
“Not me, but Moon Dowon did.”
Yoo Joohwan pointed to Moon Dowon with his thumb and lightly shrugged his shoulders.
Siho wondered why he was so obsessed with the bag; he had already guessed Siho was trying to pack and leave.
“When Kang Taeyun was biting your neck, I wanted to barge in. But I held back because I thought you’d be surprised.”
“Liar. You were planning to break in when Seo Siho fell asleep.”
“Why would you say that? It ruins the fun. As for you, weren’t you planning to masturbate if I just pounced on you?”
Moon Dowon and Yoo Joohwan bickered with each other. It seemed to be their nature.
Watching them, Siho sighed softly.
There was no room for him to escape from the beginning, and they were more frightening than he had imagined.
“Are you okay?”
Kang Taeyun, who had been quietly peeling fruit, put down the knife and asked gently.
He had a smiling face, but it seemed like there was a hidden agenda behind it.
“Yes. I’m fine. Why?”
“You sighed. I was wondering if I could help if you were uncomfortable.”
“How?”
“There are many ways. The choice is yours.”
The moment he finished speaking, Kang Taeyun picked up the knife on the table.
The two who were bickering stopped and looked at Kang Taeyun, along with the chilling atmosphere.
Moon Dowon was always expressionless, so Siho couldn’t tell what he was thinking, but Yoo Joohwan was different.
“Who gave Kang Taeyun a knife? I should be the one peeling the fruit. Give it to me. Don’t hold it so dangerously.”
Yoo Joohwan got up in a flustered state and grabbed the knife in Kang Taeyun’s hand.
Kang Taeyun didn’t loosen his grip on the knife, seemingly unwilling to give it up.
“Siho. You need to answer. How should I help you?”
His eyes, asking sweetly, were serious.
Was there some gangster in the house?
The form of help he was considering was different from that of a normal person.
No, Siho should assume that there were no normal Tops in this novel itself.
“I want to have a good time. So put down the knife and let’s eat some fruit.”
Siho smiled, trying to lighten the heavy atmosphere, and stabbed a piece of fruit with a fork.
He didn’t want to resort to this, but he didn’t want to see blood.
He gave an uncharacteristic eye-smile and offered the fork with the fruit on it.
“Here, take it.”
“Yes, take it and let’s have a good time. No, a hot time! Right?”
Yoo Joohwan chimed in and snatched the knife from his hand.
Siho watched him throw the knife into the trash can, as if he never wanted to see it again.
It was an item that hadn’t been used much.
Siho quickly chugged the beer in front of him, feeling a sense of regret.
“To have a hot time, how should we play?”
“Well… Huh? What’s going on?”
His vision spun around, like someone heavily drunk.
His sight began to blur, and their voices gradually moved further away.
Siho’s head hit the table with a thud, and he fell asleep.
“…What? Is he drunk already?”
“I didn’t know he couldn’t drink.”
Moon Dowon looked dumbfounded at the startled Yoo Joohwan’s words.
He looked perplexed, seeing Siho pass out after just one glass of beer.
Yoo Joohwan, who was troubled, rubbed his neck, then lightly poked Siho’s cheek.
“Did he really fall asleep? After one glass of beer?”
“…”
“What the… He should have told us. Did he not even know his own limit?”
Yoo Joohwan stared at Siho as if fascinated.
He brightened his eyes, saying he had never seen anyone like this before.
Watching Yoo Joohwan poke him continuously, Kang Taeyun got up from his seat.
“What are you going to do?”
“Lay him down.”
Kang Taeyun gently picked Siho up and laid him on the bed.
He pulled the blanket up to Siho’s chest and crooked his mouth into a smile.
“…He’s more fun than I thought.”
His head hurt.
With a splitting hangover, like the day he drank too much alcohol, Siho groaned and tossed his body around.
Every time he moved, someone gently brushed his hair back.
Siho slowly lifted his heavy eyes at the warm touch.
“Ugh… my head… hurts.”
“You should have told us you can’t drink.”
Siho turned his head at the unexpected voice.
Kang Taeyun was looking down at him with a warm gaze.
“…Kang Taeyun?”
He blinked, wondering why he was still there, then remembered yesterday’s events.
Siho winced and opened his eyes, feeling humiliated at the memory of passing out after one beer.
“You didn’t go home?”
“No.”
“…”
Siho quickly turned his gaze to find the other two.
Yoo Joohwan wasn’t visible, but Moon Dowon was seen cutting something in the kitchen.
Wearing an apron he must have found somewhere, he turned to Siho while chopping green onions.
“You’re awake?”
“…What are you doing?”
“Making soup for your hangover.”
He answered as usual and turned back to his chopping.
He looked as comfortable as someone who lived there.
As Siho stared blankly, Kang Taeyun, who was sitting on the bed, got up.
He naturally walked to the closet and pulled out a shirt and pants. Just then, the bathroom door opened.
“Oh? Our lover is awake.”
Yoo Joohwan came out of the bathroom, lightly shaking his hair, and smiled brightly.
The sunlight streaming through the window filled the area around him like a spotlight.
Siho admitted he was handsome, but he was dumbfounded seeing the guy come out after showering as if it were his own house.
“You need to shower, right? Should I wash you?”
“Huh? No, I’m fine.”
“You’re going to eat with that much dirt on you?”
