OMF 21

Ding—

Seowoo, whose eyes had reddened for no good reason from idle thoughts, turned his head at the notification sound. The phone ringing hardly ever happened except when Taeseong called him. Taegwon or Taegang did not contact him by phone, and when they summoned him, they had their secretaries do it. There was no other place that would contact him, so it was definitely Taeseong.

Was he planning to do it until morning and then do it again. The area between his buttocks stung a little, but there was no way he could refuse Taeseong. More than that, he himself disliked it. His greed to receive the alphas’ semen more often, more abundantly, and get pregnant as soon as possible was greater. Seowoo raised his listless body and picked up the phone.

Seowoo, who turned on the screen, tilted his head. There was a missed call that he didn’t know when it came in and a notification in the messaging app that was not the one Taeseong used.

“Why did he send it through this.”

Seowoo’s eyes widened immediately after clicking on the messaging app without much thought. Tears welled up in his large eyes, and the teardrops hanging precariously soon fell in drops. Seowoo reread the message several times with blurred vision. But the content remained exactly the same.

[Lee Jaegyeon: Call me when you see this.]

It might have been thanks to this person’s existence that Seowoo, born with a frail body, was able to endure the harsh abuse. This person who had been the only comfort to Seowoo in his young days. The person who stopped his birth mother when she inflicted violence. The person who threw food to the starving Seowoo. And the person who secretly touched his body under that pretext.

He was Seowoo’s stepbrother.

Seowoo’s hand holding the phone began to tremble greatly. In the room where he was alone, he hurriedly looked around in case someone might see. He looked down at the black screen and then hid the phone under the pillow. Even then, not feeling reassured, he bunched up the blanket and covered it over it.

To Seowoo, his stepbrother was a complicated existence. In his childhood, Seowoo had definitely relied on him. It was never as close or intimate as ordinary siblings, but Seowoo liked his brother. Because unlike his birth mother, he did not hit Seowoo.

He always had indifferent eyes and never showed Seowoo even a single glance of interest or a speck of affection, but even so, Seowoo liked him much more than his birth mother. On days when his birth mother’s abuse intensified, he would stop her with a single word. Even if it was not for Seowoo’s sake but simply because it was noisy and annoying, to the young Seowoo, it was like salvation.

However, as Seowoo grew up, his gaze began to change. Seowoo could feel at some point a gaze lingering on him. It was an instinctive realization. Because the one who had been indifferent to him like looking at an object even in the same space started to make eye contact more and more.

But the young Seowoo did not know the meaning of that gaze. He was just happy that his brother, who had always been difficult and awkward, was showing interest in him. When the brother, with whom he had never even had a proper conversation, finally called him after a long probing gaze, Seowoo smiled brightly.

At first, it was light contact. The stepbrother called Seowoo while holding sweet things in his hand. Then he sat close beside him and stroked Seowoo’s head. Seowoo felt the warmth of a person, which he was experiencing for the first time in his life, awkward but good. Seeing Seowoo, who glanced cautiously and moved his buttocks to sit even closer, he raised the corner of his mouth. People who were thirsty for love naturally showed it.

The worn and frayed clothes fully exposed his white chest through the stretched neckline, and the thinned fabric revealed the silhouette of his lean body. Clear saliva flowed from between his small lips as he sucked on the candy.

He was half an omega, they said. He had never seen a complete omega, but he was convinced that he would not fall short of that. More than the small doll-like face, things like the slender nape, the straightly extended arms, the occasionally revealed lean waist, and the straight legs were a very lascivious body that stimulated a man’s lust.

Once he recognized it, he couldn’t take his eyes off to the point where he wondered why he hadn’t noticed it until now. The white skin, pale enough as if it hadn’t seen sunlight, made him imagine it covered in an even whiter liquid. In that way, Jaegyeon’s touches became more and more secretive day by day.

Seowoo’s body trembled at the sudden rush of past memories. Nausea surged up in an instant. His trembling legs collapsed before he could even run to the bathroom. Seowoo, unable to hold back and vomiting out his insides, flailed his hand. What wet the floor was only clear gastric juice. The hand pulling the hem of the shirt he was wearing to wipe the floor trembled mercilessly. His eyes, which continued to wipe the already clean marble floor, had no focus.

⛤⛤⛤

Taegwon, who had entered the mansion, handed his jacket to the servant who was waiting. From the fluid and natural movement, one could tell how accustomed he was to using people. Taegwon loosened his tie as he moved his steps. The space between his handsome eyebrows was furrowed. It was Taegwon, who hardly ever showed his emotions, whether good or bad. The servants tried to be even more cautious than usual toward Taegwon, who rarely expressed displeasure. Among the three alphas, Taegwon treated the servants the most politely, but no one didn’t know that when such a him got angry, he was the scariest person.

Taegwon, who entered the second floor where Seowoo’s room was, looked around the quiet interior and furrowed his brow. It seemed his younger brothers had not returned home yet. He had thought naturally that he would be with someone since he hadn’t come out to the entrance. Because whenever he was alone, he had always come out to greet him without exception.

He had never ordered it, and he had even less desired it, but for some reason, the fact that Seowoo hadn’t come out bothered him. Even though he had no desire to see him standing awkwardly side by side with the servants.

Taegwon’s face gradually hardened as he opened the door to Seowoo’s room. The room without its owner felt empty. On the bed where Seowoo spent most of his time, the blanket was bunched up tightly at the headboard.

Did Seowoo have anywhere to go alone at this hour. Knowing that Taeseong sometimes called him out, he picked up his phone.

—Hey, hyung.

“Where are you.”

—At school. Why?

“Nothing.”

After finishing the short call and hanging up, Taegwon moved his feet back downstairs. The servants, who had been busily coming and going due to their respective tasks, bowed their heads toward Taegwon again.

“Where is Joo Seowoo.”

“…Isn’t he in his room?”

Except for Mr. Kim, who assisted Taegwon with his work and overall life, and the mansion management director, most servants didn’t even have occasions to exchange words with Taegwon. The alphas of this mansion, including Taegwon, treated the servants who helped them like air. They were people accustomed to commanding others from birth. To them, the servants who helped were more like machines than people. The servant, who hesitated in confusion for a moment, soon pretended to be composed, but Taegwon’s gaze grew colder at the empty response.

Taegwon, who stood still for a moment as if thinking, soon moved his steps. There weren’t many places in this mansion where Seowoo could go. At best, not his own room, then the garden, the dining room, and….

Taegwon, who went down to the basement where the lights were off, grabbed the doorknob of the training room. No sound leaked out from the well-soundproofed training room.

Taegwon, who opened the closed door and entered, turned on the light in the dark interior. In the training room, which even Taegwon was entering for the first time, there was only a bed and a shelf. The shelf was densely packed with various tools. From general masturbation devices to strangely shaped ones that even Taegwon was seeing for the first time. There was even a dildo as thick as Taegwon’s forearm.

Taegwon scanned the tools with impassive eyes. It wasn’t hard to guess that Seowoo had received training with these, but there was no particular emotion. Because that was Seowoo’s role. It was something that Seowoo, who had become this family’s omega due to his lowly birth, rightfully had to endure.

Taegwon’s gaze turned to one corner. Seowoo, crouched on the cold floor, had his head buried in his knees. His small body was trembling faintly.

“Seowoo.”

“……”

“Joo Seowoo.”

He approached Seowoo, who had his head buried without responding to the call. As he crouched down on his knees and grabbed Seowoo’s arm, Seowoo, who had been trembling, startled and lifted his head.

The two eyes that met were swollen red. His moistened eyelashes shook precariously. His eyes were bruised from how much he had cried. Seowoo looked around anxiously as if he couldn’t even recognize Taegwon upon seeing him.

“Ah, sorry, I, I did wrong, Mr. Kim….”

“……”

“I’m scared…. I, training, I don’t like it…, but still….”

Taegwon hardened his expression at the uncharacteristic state. Was he mistaking him for Mr. Kim? His large eyes were filled with fear. Taegwon let out a low sigh. He absolutely hated troublesome things.

“Seowoo.”

He gripped the slender arm and called forcefully. The eyes forced to meet were blurred. As he put strength into the hand gripping the arm, he twisted his body to pull his arm away as if in pain. Only then could he see reason gradually returning to the hazy eyes. Seowoo, seeing Taegwon, panicked and looked at him cautiously while fumbling.

“Uh… h-hyung, you’re back, welcome home….”

Taegwon quietly looked down at Seowoo’s face, which was forcing a smile. Seowoo, who had been smiling while gauging his reaction, also gradually stiffened the corners of his mouth upon seeing Taegwon’s hardened face. His eyes still had tear stains that hadn’t dried.

“Seowoo.”

“…Yes?”

“Why are you here.”

“Ah…. Uh, that is…. I, I thought I needed to… receive more training. Because I’m still lacking…. No baby yet….”

The mumbling words, in a small voice, couldn’t be heard properly. Nevertheless, the words that were unclear whether they were a confession or an excuse continued endlessly.

“What?”

“I’m scared of receiving training…. Even if I don’t like it, I have to, right…. If I don’t, I’ll be discarded….”

“……”

“I have to get pregnant quickly…. Uh, I have to give birth to a baby quickly, right…. But because I’m half-baked…. Because of me the baby isn’t coming, so more training, uh…, then I think a baby will come….”

“……”

“I’m sorry for not getting pregnant…. I’ll receive more training to make the baby come quickly…. Uh, have more sex…, even if it’s hard, I won’t say it’s hard….”

Taegwon felt bewildered. The long-winded words ultimately meant he would receive more training for pregnancy.

Had he ever pressured him about pregnancy. If he had even once shown such a sign, he wouldn’t feel this way. There was a big age difference between Taegwon and Seowoo. For Taegwon, pregnancy might seem urgent, but he didn’t think impatiently about it. Because his younger brothers and Seowoo were all young, it was something he could think about leisurely.

Brothers who shared an omega considered the child born to their omega as all of their children. The biological father was not important. Pedigree families were obsessed only with continuing their family through reproduction. The child Seowoo gave birth to would be the child of all his brothers.

“Joo Seowoo.”

“Yes?”

“So you were here for that. Alone too.”

“…Ah… uh, yes….”

Omegas were naive by nature. They were beings who lived under the alphas’ overprotection. Moreover, their value was solely sex and pregnancy through it. Omegas were immature individuals who could do nothing alone except chase colors. Besides, Seowoo hadn’t even received proper education during his growth process. Considering that background, actions that would normally be incomprehensible weren’t all that hard to understand.

Taegwon looked down at Seowoo with impassive eyes. Suddenly, he wondered why he had to care about even this aspect. To Taegwon, Seowoo was just a half-baked omega brought in for reproduction. It wouldn’t lead to pregnancy by receiving more training, but if he wanted it himself, he had no intention of stopping him.

He was finding some amusement in taking care of Seowoo in his own way, but that was exactly it. He wasn’t leisurely enough to care about this deficient omega’s lacking thoughts.

“Ah…!”

Taegwon inserted his hand between Seowoo’s armpits and lifted him up just like that. Seowoo assumed the position quite familiarly and wrapped his arms around. It seemed he had quickly adapted because he had carried him in the same position several times recently.

They say kids learn anything quickly. Taegwon chuckled lowly.

Seowoo, held like a baby and resting his head on Taegwon’s shoulder, let out a silent sigh. His head hurt from crying too much. Seowoo just closed his eyes as if he were a person he wanted to forget entirely. In his mind, only the conversations he had with his stepbrother echoed loudly.

Seowoo, who came out after washing with Taegwon, had a refreshed face. Color returned to his previously pale skin. Seowoo, with his puffy eyes, gauged Taegwon’s reaction and stuck close.

Seowoo kept hovering around Taegwon’s side like a puppy that felt secure only if their bodies touched in at least one place. Recently, Seowoo had been approaching Taegwon much more. Until just a while ago, Seowoo had been so tense in front of him that he couldn’t even breathe properly. Now, that Seowoo seemed to feel quite comfortable with Taegwon. Of course, he still found him difficult, but compared to back then.

When Taegwon, wearing only training pants over his underwear, sat on the sofa, Seowoo quickly took the seat next to him. It was a distance close enough for their thighs to touch. Seowoo glanced at Taegwon’s side profile as he looked at work on the tablet and then cautiously leaned his head. The firm muscles supported his head.

Seowoo, who had already ejaculated twice while washing, blinked sleepily as if tired. He liked the bare skin of Taegwon touching his cheek. Seowoo cautiously rubbed his cheek against the shoulder.

Seowoo probably thought he was hiding it tightly, but Taegwon had long known that the gaze this omega directed at him was different. Such feelings weren’t a problem. It was natural for omegas to like their alphas.

However, if he showed special feelings only to one alpha and rejected relationships with the other alphas, it would become a headache. After all, omegas were foolish beings who forgot their place when they fell in love. It wasn’t at a level that was problematic yet, but Taegwon thought that if Seowoo went further and revealed his emotions, that would be the time when training was needed.
