“Huh, huh.”

A heavy breath escaped between his lips as he took a deep breath. Étienne continued to run without stopping. He didn't know where this place was, he didn't know where he was going. But once he ran.

To run as far as possible, as far away as possible without Richard noticing. That was all Etienne could do.

But he ran and ran, but he couldn't see the exit. Étienne looked around his head in confusion. He couldn't get his bearings. Strangely, he felt like he was always on the same road.

“Ouch!”

Étienne, who was frantically wandering through the maze garden, suddenly collapsed. He got caught on the roots that have risen out of the ground.

"It hurts….....”

Etienne groaned in pain. His palms and knees ached as he rubbed against the floor. However, there was no time to check his wounds.

Etienne, grinning at this, forced himself to stand up. His legs were shaking and he couldn't give any strength.

He barely straightened his body and looked behind him with anxious eyes. Fortunately, he haven't noticed anyone chasing him yet.

…....Did he notice?

Étienne nudged his lower lip nervously. The last time he saw Richard's expression was clear. Étienne, who closed his eyes tightly as if to ignore it, raised his wrist and smelled the scent.

"No."

I shouldn't be like this. Etienne's face turned pale when he confirmed that his body was much darker than before.If it was this scent, Richard would immediately recognize it.

“Let’s stay calm. Calm down."

Étienne took a deep breath as he repeated himself. He took deep breaths and tried to calm down. He had to control his pheromones even a little bit. But the trembling did not stop.

“Why, why not….....”

Étienne's eyes twisted as he forced himself to take a deep breath. Pheromones were not controlled at all.
Even with the heat cycle, this was the first time. Also, the heat cycle came in a situation where it was exposed defenselessly without anyone's help.

"What do I do?"

Étienne stomped his feet, not knowing what to do. Surprised by the unexpected situation he experienced for the first time, his head did not turn properly. He felt like crying. Everything was messy.

Crisp.

Etienne, restless, was startled by the sound of the leaves shaking and froze with a gasp. Cold sweat ran down his back.

It was probably a bird or an insect that made the sound. But he didn't have the courage to look behind him. Then, the wind blew from behind.

“Huh.”

Étienne swallowed in vain at the refreshing smell he felt the moment the wind blew through his hair. His senses, which were much more sensitive than usual, picked up the faint scent mixed in the air. It was Richard.

“….....!”

As soon as he realized that Richard was nearby, his body heated up rapidly. Étienne moved hurriedly. Finding nowhere to escape, he climbed into the trees.

If he couldn't get out, he had to hide from Richard to find him.

“Hoo, heo-eok.”

Étienne entered the dense tree line and hurriedly looked for a place to hide his body.
