[BL] Tired Of Living As An Omega

Chapter 121

"Baek Do-jun, why do you look so tired? Did you stay up all night?"

"It's nothing, really."

Usually, when someone says it's nothing, it's usually something. I looked at Baek Do-jun with a suspicious glance.

Baek Do-jun tried to avoid my gaze, but he couldn't erase the shadow that had crept into his eyes.

As we entered the house, Baek Do-jun remained silent while I poured myself a glass of water in the kitchen.

'..........Is it because of what happened with grandfather?'

He wasn't the type to be easily shaken by such things. If anything, he was more likely to pour gasoline on a dying campfire than let it dwindle like this.

Baek Do-jun said with a wry smile.

"I didn't expect you to come today. If I had known, I would have prepared a surprise party to celebrate your discharge."

"It's my house, why would we need a party? Isn't that a bit much?"

It was a joke, an attempt to lighten the mood, but Baek Do-jun looked even more downcast. His neat face seemed to crumple like a withering leaf.

"Is that so... Sorry."

'Why are you sorry?!'

His usual confident and shameless alpha demeanor was absent. When my eyes met Seo Eun-soo's, he also mumbled, "Why is he like that?" at Baek Do-jun's unusual behaviour.

Baek Do-jun couldn't shake off his gloominess and kept digging himself deeper into a hole. Even though the drink I poured was water, it felt like I was pouring soju into a glass instead.

"Well, the fact that we've been clinging to your side was probably a nuisance from the start. It's ironic to say this now, but..."

"What...?"

What in the world happened, exactly?!

'I feel even worse about rejecting your confession now...'

It felt ridiculous to say this to an alpha, but seeing Baek Do-jun weaken as if he might collapse at any moment, it was difficult to bring up the reason for my visit.

"I told the others you were here, so they'll come soon. Um, facing each other directly is still okay, right?"

I didn't like the way Baek Do-jun was acting. There was something seriously off about him.

"Why have you been acting like this since earlier? Avoiding my gaze and everything."

"I told you, it's nothing."

"Then why can't you even meet Seo Eun-soo's eyes? Is there something you feel guilty about?"

Silence hung awkwardly in the air. Baek Do-jun remained silent in response to my words.

"Did... Did you have a fight with these people while I was unconscious, Seo Eun-soo?"

"No, not at all," Seo Eun-soo shook his head vigorously, denying it with both arms crossed.

'There's no reason for them to have conflict while I was unconscious.'

Then what on earth was going on here?

When I was at my wit's end, Yoo Yi-seo, Joo Tae-kang, and Chae Yoon-chan appeared dressed in work clothes, covered in dirt.

"Oh, Seong Chan-young is really here?"
