MM 146

Do-won, who had been eagerly kissing Yu-young, pulled away and turned his head. Then he buried his face in Yuyoung’s shoulder. His massive body, clinging to Yu-young stubbornly like a child, was still pushing with a force that was almost overwhelming. Yu-young, who had been gasping for breath under him, kissed his nape in a daze. And then he bared his teeth.

The moment he bit into the pheromone gland, a metallic taste of blood brushed against his tongue. At the same time, Yu-young’s pheromones, which had surged explosively from his heat, flowed entirely into Do-won’s body. Do-won’s brow furrowed, and a beast-like groan escaped his lips. With an unbelievable force, he embraced Yu-young and thrust deep inside.

At that moment, Yu-young’s eyes widened.

“Ho-h, honey…!”

There was no response other than the sound of panting breaths constantly heard next to his ear. Instead, a feeling he had never experienced before was spreading within him. He felt as if his stomach was swelling up and about to burst. Trembling with fear, Yu-young repeatedly patted Do-won’s shoulder.

“Team leader, team leader! W-wait a moment… Ah, something’s wrong, something’s wrong…!”

“Yu-young… Haah… Yu-young.”

Do-won, murmuring dreamily, stubbornly embraced Yu-young. Breathing heavily, with warmth radiating from his breath, he pressed against Yu-young’s ear and held him tightly, as if trying to break his own body. This was not the calm and composed Do-won Yu-young had always known. The low, rough groans and actions of Do-won, who was growling like a beast, were those of an Alpha who had marked and was now holding the Omega he had imprinted on.

Something kept growing inside his belly. While he cried endlessly in fear, there was also a simultaneous sensation that emerged. He instinctively sensed that the alpha was trying to plant his seed inside him, but he couldn’t pull away. It was the overwhelming desire of the omega and the longing to bond more deeply with Do-won.

“Ah… T-Team, leader, dear…”

With a voice that dripped with emotion, Yu-young cried and hugged Do-won tighter. The sensation of swelling, as if about to burst through his inner walls, felt surreal. The terrifyingly large mass that had entered him wasn’t enough; it greedily grew even larger, filling him with a mix of fear and excitement that made him feel like he was melting.

His whole body trembled as if it had been electrocuted. The tighter Do-won’s strong arms held him, the more Yu-young, clinging desperately to him, wished that the body holding him would never let go. Soon, a hot liquid vigorously flooded inside him.

“Wait, hold on. Honey, ah…! My stomach, my stomach…!”

“Yu-young…”

Feeling like he was going to be crushed, Yu-young shivered several times, but the massive body that heavily covered him pressed down with such force that he couldn’t escape. His body, which had heated up to the point where it couldn’t get any hotter, eagerly accepted Do-won’s semen.

Just when he thought his stomach might burst, it stopped. However, the tightly knotted mass inside him didn’t dissolve and continued to fill his insides, blocking his hole. Every time he gasped for breath, he felt the liquid filling his stomach sloshing around. Overwhelmed by the intense nausea, Yu-young momentarily retched and cast a dazed glance at Do-won.

“Yu-young.”

In a hoarse voice, Do-won called out to him, gently lifted his face to check, and then hugged him again. Shaking his head, he stopped Yu-young from moving.

“Don’t move… You might get hurt.”

Yu-young held his breath and cautiously nodded his head. Do-won’s well-built torso rose and fell with each breath. Do-won who had been panting silently on top of him, ​stolen content​leaned against Yu-young’s body as if collapsing.

“…Yu-young. I’m sorry, I…”

He couldn’t continue speaking. Because he seemed to know all too well what he was trying to apologize for, Yu-young slowly shook his head in a daze.

“You don’t have to apologize…”

“Yu-young.”

Even when he experienced a rut cycle because of Sun-hyung, he had struggled hard not to knot recklessly.

Just as Yu-young’s heat cycle was accelerated after marking, knotting was probably also a powerful alpha instinct triggered by the mark.

Also, the a heat cycle would have been difficult to quell without an alpha’s semen. Now, having received his fluids to the fullest, an indescribable sense of satisfaction washed over him. Do-won’s still massively swollen member filled him completely without any sign of shrinking, but he was no longer afraid.

“I’m really okay….”

An overwhelming wave of drowsiness washed over him, one he couldn’t resist. Just a moment ago, his body had been so sensitive it felt overwhelming, but now it was sinking into a comfortable relaxation. His eyelids fluttered open and closed, and Yu-young barely managed to squeeze out a sound. With the last of his strength, he pulled Do-won’s neck toward him.

“…Now, take a break…”

With a soft voice, his eyes gently closed. Yu-young, embracing Do-won within his small body, drifted into a peaceful sleep, as if lying on a fluffy, floating cloud.

***

Yu-young breathed slowly. The feel of the bedding, the unfamiliar lighting of the room. Something felt different from usual, and his eyes flew open. Blinking slowly in the darkness, Yu-young soon let out a drowsy sigh and smiled.

‘…We’re… on our honeymoon.’

As soon as he realized that, happiness surged through him. A whole day of relaxing, eating, and having fun with Do-won, with no work to worry about. Maybe this was what people meant by heaven.

Come to think of it, the spot beside him was empty. Had he gone somewhere? Yu-young fumbled around for the remote on the nightstand and opened the curtains first. As the view gradually brightened, he let out a delighted shout.

“Wow….”

The scenery from the travel pamphlets unfolded right before his eyes. A massive floor-to-ceiling window stood directly in front of the bed, beyond which lay a private pool. Beyond that, soft white sand stretched out, leading to the waves crashing against the shore.

The sky was a brilliant blue. The glittering sunlight danced atop the water filling the pool. Just looking at it made his chest swell with excitement, and Yu-young sat up abruptly. The moment he did, a sharp pain struck his waist, forcing him to clamp his mouth shut.

“…Ugh… Choi Do-won, seriously….”

“You’re awake?”

A voice tinged with laughter came from the other side. Clutching his waist, Yu-young turned his head with difficulty and saw Do-won standing in the doorway, dressed in workout clothes. In an instant, Do-won strode over to the bed and pressed a kiss to his forehead with a soft ‘smack.’

“Did you sleep well, my Yu-young?”

“Yes….”

“Did you just come back from a workout, Team Leader?”

“I went for a run on the beach out front. You seemed to be sleeping soundly.”

“You made the right call… Ugh.”

Yu-young glared resentfully at Do-won as he pounded his sore waist and hips with his fists. He had been left aching all over while Do-won was out running, full of energy. Sensing the accusatory gaze, Do-won chuckled softly and planted a light kiss on his cheek.

“By the way… did you clean me up?”

“Yeah. I thought about washing you, but I didn’t want to wake you.”

His body, wrapped in a robe, felt fresh and clean. As he absentmindedly rubbed his flat stomach, Yu-young’s hand suddenly stilled. The memories of last night—losing control and giving in to each other—rushed back all at once.

‘Now that I think about it….’

His hand instinctively reached for his nape. Were Do-won’s bite marks still there? For the first time in his life, he had made a lifelong promise to someone and left his own mark on them as well. He vaguely recalled his past resolve never to be bound to an Alpha, and he smiled faintly.

The bond was no longer a form of subjugation to him. It was a promise of eternal love, a sweet binding to each other. Just like their hands that were always clasped together, the bond they shared gave him warmth and comfort.

“And Yu-young.”

“Yes?”

“…There’s something I need to apologize for.”

Do-won reached out, gently stroking his hair. There was a slight hesitation in his touch and voice, making Yu-young look up. With his gaze lowered, Do-won wore a deeply conflicted expression.

“I’m sorry. …It was entirely my mistake.”

“For what?”

“…I knotted you without asking.”

With a long sigh, Do-won covered his face with one hand.

“…But if you don’t mind, could I explain myself?”

“Uh… Say whatever you need to.”

Seeing how restless Do-won seemed, Yu-young nodded without thinking. Do-won hesitated, opening and closing his lips several times before finally managing to speak.

“After we bonded… I lost control in a way I never have before. The desire to claim you—my Omega—was overwhelming….”

“……”

“…So… I really didn’t mean to. I’m sorry, Yu-young.”

There was no trace of deception in his subdued voice. Finishing his difficult confession, Do-won carefully pulled Yu-young into his arms.

“We came all this way for our honeymoon, but I ended up making you worry. I know [unauthorized copy]it won’t be easy to forgive me, but still….”

“Team Leader. No, honey.”

Yu-young cut off Do-won’s fumbling apology. Looking straight into his eyes, Yu-young smiled slowly.

“I’m fine. We’re married. We’re on our honeymoon. It’s not like you did anything wrong.”

“…Yu-young.”

“And while we haven’t decided on the timing yet… it’s not like we planned to never have a child. Besides, you weren’t in rut yesterday, so it’s not even guaranteed….”

Finishing his sentence, he grinned playfully. To be honest, last night’s knotting had been so intense that even his own memories had blurred, but he had no regrets. If Do-won’s bond had been strong enough to trigger his heat cycle, then his own bond must have affected Do-won just as strongly. He understood that.

“…Thank you, Yu-young. I’ll do better. …In everything.”

Do-won answered in a hushed voice and pulled him into another embrace. The faint scent of his Alpha spreading around him felt simply, overwhelmingly comforting. Being with Do-won made him feel safe, excited, and deeply loved. As long as he had Do-won by his side, he was certain everything would be okay.

“Anyway, you must be hungry.”

At Do-won’s gentle question, Yu-young nodded eagerly.

“Yes, very.”

“Do you want to eat downstairs or here? Whatever’s more comfortable for you.”

“Hmm… Then today, I want to eat here with you. I’m going to eat everything.”

“As much as you want.”

Beaming, Yu-young picked up the room service menu and started chattering away. After placing the order in fluent English, he hung up and spread his arms toward Do-won. Snuggling into the embrace that wrapped around him without hesitation, he rubbed his nose and cheek against Do-won’s body.

“What should we do after breakfast?”

“Whatever you want. If you want to go out, we can. If you just want to laze around all day, I’m all for that too.”

“…I want to go out. I seriously can’t do any more right now.”

His pouty glare made Do-won chuckle lazily.

“Let’s take lots of pictures [Read on]later. Can you make a honeymoon photo book for me? Someday, when you have time?”

Yu-young said it as a joke, not expecting much. Lately, Do-won had been so busy with work that he hadn’t been able to pursue his photography. But to his surprise, Do-won nodded readily and smiled gently.

“Of course. If that’s what you want, as many as you like.”

His long, beautiful fingers slowly ruffled through Yu-young’s hair. Holding his large hand, Yu-young rubbed his cheek against his palm and closed his eyes. Just imagining Do-won holding a camera, capturing breathtaking scenery and his own image, made his heart swell with joy.

“I really want it, my dear photographer. So much.”

Murmuring sweetly, Yu-young wrapped his arms around Do-won’s waist once more.

Through the slightly open door, the sound of birds chirping reached them. In the distance, the gentle crashing of waves could also be heard.

The happiest honeymoon in the world had just begun.
