Chapter 124
Ohm
The car still had this stench of sex and sweat when I pulled into the parking spot outside the 24-hour convenience store. My legs felt like jelly but I killed the engine anyway and looked over at Sunoo. He was trying to sit up straight but kept wincing every time he moved his hips. Served him right for talking so much shit earlier.
"Get out," I said, but my voice came out softer than I meant it to. "We’re getting food before you pass out on me."
Sunoo groaned loud and dramatic, sliding one leg out the door like it weighed a hundred kilos. "Oh my god Ohm my ass is destroyed. I feel your cum still leaking every time I move. This is all your fault you big rude alpha."
I snorted and got out fast so he wouldn’t see me smiling. "Stop complaining. You were the one begging for my knot like you would die without it."
He stood up on shaky legs and immediately grabbed the side of the car for balance. His walk was funny as hell, kind of waddling but trying to act normal. I walked around to his side without thinking and put my hand on his lower back to steady him. His skin was still warm through the thin shirt.
"Don’t need your help," he muttered, but he leaned into my touch anyway.
"Yeah sure you don’t," I shot back. "Keep walking like that and people will think I beat you up instead of fucked you stupid."
Sunoo laughed, short and sharp, then hissed when another step made him feel it. "You did both actually. My tits still hurt from all that biting. Look at them." He pulled his collar down a little just to show the red marks. "Tomorrow I’m wearing a scarf in this heat and it’s your fault."
I rolled my eyes but my hand stayed on his back the whole way inside the store. The bright lights hit us hard after the dark car. Sunoo blinked like a baby owl and grabbed a basket. I followed close behind, fixing his messy hair with one hand when it fell in his face. He smelled like me, like sex and my scent all over him, and it made something in my chest feel weirdly satisfied.
"Get whatever you want," I told him, reaching for some ramyeon and drinks. "I’m paying."
"Oh wow, the alpha is buying me food after wrecking my hole. How romantic," he said, voice dripping with fake sweetness. He threw in extra snacks, chocolate, and those spicy chips he liked. Then he picked up a bottle of water and shook it at me. "This is for washing your cum out of me later. Or maybe not. Maybe I like feeling full of you."
"Shut up," I muttered, but my ears got hot. I grabbed his wrist lightly and pulled him toward the counter before he could say more embarrassing shit in public.
The cashier gave us a weird look, probably because Sunoo was still walking funny and my hand never left his body. I didn’t care. I paid quickly and we walked back out. Instead of going straight to the car I spotted a small street food stall still open nearby with plastic tables. "Sit," I said, pointing at one. "I’ll get the hot food."
Sunoo dropped into the chair with a dramatic sigh and spread his legs a little like it helped. "Hurry up. I’m starving and my ass is throbbing. Your knot is no joke Ohm."
I came back with two bowls of spicy noodles and some grilled meat. When I sat down he was already poking at the food with chopsticks. Sauce got on his lip and without thinking I reached over and wiped it with my thumb. He froze for a second then smirked.
"Look at you being all gentle now. Five minutes ago you were calling me a cute pain in the ass and choking me with your dick."
I shrugged and kept eating. "Eat your food before it gets cold."
We ate in silence for a bit but it wasn’t awkward. Sunoo kept shifting in his seat and making little noises every time he moved. Every time he did that my hand found his thigh under the table and squeezed. Possessive. Like I needed to remind myself he was still here, still smelling like me.
Halfway through his bowl Sunoo looked up at me with those big eyes. His voice was casual but I could tell he was watching my face. "So... how did you fall for Ye Jun anyway? You never talk about him."
My chopsticks stopped mid-air. The name hit like a punch but I tried to play it cool. I stuffed more noodles in my mouth and chewed slow. "Not now Sunoo."
He tilted his head. "Come on. We just fucked like animals in your tiny car. You can at least tell me why you’re using my body to forget him."
I sighed and rubbed my face with one hand. "It’s not like that."
"Feels like that," he said around a mouthful of food, shrugging. "It’s okay though. I don’t mind being the distraction tonight. Your dick is good enough compensation."
I wanted to snap at him but the words wouldn’t come out mean. Instead I reached over and fixed his hair again, letting my fingers linger on the back of his neck. He smelled so strongly of sex and satisfaction it made my stomach flip. "Just eat."
Sunoo smiled small, like he knew he won that round, and went back to his noodles. But the mood changed after that. The playful teasing got quieter. We finished eating and walked back to the car slower than before. This time I didn’t even pretend I wasn’t helping him. My arm went around his waist and he let me.
Inside the car the air felt heavier. I started driving toward his place because he gave me the address earlier. Sunoo leaned his head against my shoulder after a few minutes. His breathing got slow and even. He was half-asleep already, still radiating that warm post-sex scent that made my head fuzzy.
I kept one hand on the wheel and the other on his thigh, squeezing every so often. My mind started drifting even though I tried to stop it. This was supposed to be simple. Just sex to forget Ye Jun. Just one night to feel something else. But now Sunoo was curled against me, trusting and soft, and it felt way too good. Scarier than I wanted to admit. My chest got tight thinking about dropping him off and driving away alone.
He stirred a little when I stopped at a red light. His voice came out sleepy and quiet. "You don’t have to be mean all the time you know. I like the soft version too. It’s nice."
My throat felt thick. I didn’t answer right away. Just rubbed my thumb on his leg and kept driving. "Go back to sleep idiot."
Sunoo hummed and nuzzled closer. "Okay rude alpha."
The rest of the drive was quiet except for the low hum of the engine. When I finally pulled up in front of his apartment building I planned to just say goodnight and leave. My legs were still shaky from earlier and I was tired. But when Sunoo tried to get out he almost fell because his knees buckled.
"Shit," he laughed weakly, holding onto the door.
I got out fast and walked around. Before he could argue I bent down and picked him up, one arm under his knees and the other around his back. He was lighter than I expected.
"What the hell Ohm put me down," he yelped, but his arms went around my neck anyway.
"Your legs are shaking idiot," I said, kicking the car door shut. "I’m not letting you fall on your face after I wrecked you."
Sunoo buried his face in my neck and laughed against my skin. "So strong. My hero. But your cum is still leaking down my thigh so this is kind of embarrassing."
"Shut up," I muttered, but I was smiling as I carried him toward the entrance.
He pointed at the right floor when we got inside the building. I took the elevator with him still in my arms. A couple of late-night neighbors stared but I didn’t care. Sunoo kept poking my chest and complaining in that cute way of his the whole time up.
When we reached his door he wiggled a little so I could set him down. He unlocked it quick and stepped inside, then turned back to look at me with a small tired smile.
"You can come in you know," he said softly, biting his lip. "We can shower together. Wash all this mess off. Or... not wash it off. Your choice rude alpha."
I stood there in the doorway, heart beating too fast, knowing I should say no and go home. But my feet wouldn’t move. The way he looked at me, all messy hair and hickeys and that soft invitation in his eyes, made the decision feel impossible.
"So?" Sunoo asked, tilting his head and waiting. "You coming in or what?"
