The burger, which had been going down smoothly until just now, felt like it had lodged itself firmly in his throat. Tae-seo wiped his hands, stained with sauce, hastily and grabbed the water glass. It went down refreshing enough, but there was no fizzy sensation characteristic of carbonation.  If he had known it would be like this, he would have just ordered a carbonated drink.

No, he should have just sent Kang Se-heon away instead of just sitting there watching him. When Tae-seo clenched his fist and tapped his chest a few times, Kang Se-heon clicked his tongue.

"It wasn't out of concern, I knew from the moment you started slurping it down that it tasted good."

"It's not because of the burger, it's because of the weird stuff you were saying. Why are you saying that?"

"You always smile so nicely at Mi-rae."

"Why are you saying that now? Are you asking me  if I'm going to confess to her because of that?"

When Tae-seo looked at him with an incredulous expression, Kang Se-heon spoke as  if reprimanding him.

"Omegas don't smile like that just for anyone. It leads to misunderstandings."

"Forget the fixed idea that all omegas have to be pretty. What era are you from? Can't you adapt to social life?"


Tae-seo chuckled as if amazed and looked at Kang Se-heon as if he were strange. Why is omega coming up here? Could it be... Is it an extension of that thing last time when he said he couldn't sense my pheromones? He doesn't think I'm pretending to be beta, does he?

'No, but whether I pretend to be beta or not.'

Tae-seo's eyes narrowed with suspicion. He prodded, wondering  if he was pretending and then feeling weird emotions after sleeping together.

"Or are you jealous? Worried that I might confess to Mi-rae?"

"But why does it matter... You're really talking weird."

Misunderstandings? What misunderstandings? The real misunderstanding is that people think there's something strange going on between Kang Se-heon and me. Tae-seo, whose appetite had disappeared, stood up from his seat without hesitation.

There was nothing much to gain from staying here any longer; going home was the best option. Although it wasn't particularly pleasant, Kang Se-heon had seated himself out of consideration for him, so Tae-seo politely nodded his head to him.

"Goodbye."

Kang Se-heon waved his hand towards Tae-seo as  if getting up slowly. Tae-seo, feeling uncomfortable with Kang Se-heon's characteristic nonchalance, turned away with a displeased look. But then a belated thought struck him, and he turned back to face Kang Se-heon.

"It feels weird that we only seem to meet at hotels."
