To The Dazzling You

Chapter 17

Sunghoon put his jacket around Sunoo's shoulders as soon as they stepped through the door that led from the direct backstage to the corridor. The long passage connected all the dressing and prop rooms with the stage and the lobby, as well as with the parking lot. Luckily, Sunghoon had parked his car there.

The corridor was empty at the moment, as everyone was applauding the actors and dancers, but it would soon be filled with people again.

They only had a small time slot to get out of there and leave as little trace behind as possible.

Sunghoon had one arm around the younger's shoulder, keeping him close.

Sunoo was focusing on his breathing, trying to keep it as calm as possible and not get aroused too quickly.

"Where are you taking me?"

The omega's words were quiet, he was just as aware of the precarious situation as Sunghoon. They couldn't stay at university.

Sunghoon had to think quickly as there weren't many options.

"The penthouse. If you're fine with it."

Sunoo nodded and clung closer.

They reached the exit door to the parking lot and Sunghoon pushed the handle down.

"Where are you going?"

They both froze, startled by the voice that sounded so close behind them.

Sunghoon pulled Sunoo closer before he turned around and moved in front of him.

Changbin was walking towards them.

How had he followed them without Sunghoon noticing? Why had none of the others stopped him? The alpha cursed at himself internally.

He furrowed his eyebrows.

"What do you want?"

The dancer stopped, Sunghoon's voice must have sounded quite harsh to make the other alpha halt.

Good, Sunghoon thought as he pushed Sunoo behind him even more and let out threatening pheromones towards Changbin.

The other alpha pulled a face, the pheromones obviously displeasing to his nose.

"I asked," Sunghoon spoke again, this time in a harsher tone, "what do you want?"

He felt Sunoo clutch to his shirt behind him, his scent intensifying each second. They needed to get out.

The other alpha finally took a step back.

"I just wanted to know where you're going. The whole crew is required on stage in two minutes, for the final bow and so on."

Sunghoon shook his head, his eyes never leaving Changbin's.

"Sunoo isn't feeling well. I'm taking him back to the dorm. Heeseung already knows about it."

The dancer opened his mouth to argue, but the door behind him opened and he turned around to check who it was.

Sunghoon used this moment to wheel around, grab Sunoo and make a quick exit.

Before the door fell shut behind them, he heard Heeseung's voice demanding Changbin's attention.

Good, they were safe now. Heeseung wouldn't leave Changbin alone now for sure.

They sprinted to Sunghoon's car and the alpha pushed the omega in the passenger seat, immediately buckling him up.

He ran around the vehicle and sat behind the wheel.
