[BL] The Omega is Pregnant

Chapter 12 - Jealous

Tae-seo glanced over  the menu, imagining what dish to order. The course he had enjoyed last time didn't seem appealing today, so he passed on several options. Tae-seo, who tended to focus on individual items, lingered over each dish name with his eyes.

"Seafood seems fishy."

Although it wouldn't actually taste fishy, it just didn't appeal to Tae-seo.

"The meat seems tough."

Again, it would probably be tender when eaten, but Tae-seo thought otherwise.

"Ah, what should I eat?"

Unable to easily decide, Tae-seo let out a groan of frustration. Eventually, after agonizing over his decision, Tae-seo chose one dish. Before covering  the menu, he called the server over and placed his order.

"A cheeseburger, please."

He casually omitted any mention of premium or high-quality ingredients. Even the thought that the meat might be tough was suddenly forgotten.

Though he ordered it thinking it would be somewhat satisfying, compared to his hunger, the burger didn't seem very appealing.

"Will there be anything else you need?"

"No, just bring that."

"Understood."

As the server left with  the menu, Tae-seo immediately reached for his glass, his hand trembling. He had considered ordering a cola with his burger, but strangely, he didn't feel like having soda. So, he sipped on cold water while waiting for his meal, when suddenly, a long shadow fell across the table. Had the server returned to say something? Tae-seo looked up, his eyes widening in surprise.

"What are you doing here, looking so lost?"

"Me? Lost?"

"If you were duped, you should've just gone home quietly instead of coming all the way up here."

"I was hungry."

What's so suspicious about coming here to eat?

Tae-seo hesitated, unsure whether to greet Kang Se-heon, whom he hadn't seen in a while, or tell him to go away. He lifted his head, catching a familiar scent from Se-heon. Then, still standing, Tae-seo spoke decisively to Se-heon.

"Did you follow me here by any chance?"

"Why would I follow you?"

"Then, please go  if you're not."

Se-heon wasn't someone who treated the hotel like his own home, and from head to toe, he seemed perfectly composed, indicating he had come for a reason. Feeling reassured by the appropriate question, Tae-seo thought he could just leave him alone.
