Chapter 95
The doctor was as surprised as Hyeseong to hear that he had gone into heat. The doctor, who always greeted him with a calm face, widened his eyes and asked several times to confirm.
“So the heat started yesterday... and how is your condition now?”
“I’m okay now. Not much of a fever... Yes, it’s the same as usual.”
Symptoms like feeling hot down there or getting crazily aroused had all disappeared when he woke up in the morning. He roughly glossed over that part, feeling a bit embarrassed to say it out loud.
“Looking at today’s test results, your pheromone levels have definitely spiked. You must have gone into heat. I’m a bit startled too since it’s so different from last time, but have there been any changes in your lifestyle patterns?”
The doctor was asking in a serious and roundabout way, but the intent behind the question must be something else.
“Not that, but I was heavily exposed to alpha pheromones a few days before the heat came.”
The doctor nodded as if he expected that.
“That seems to be the cause. Your unstable pheromone glands were probably affected by that, causing the heat to come a bit early. In any case, you need to be careful since you’re still in an unstable state. We don’t know what problems could arise if you experience a drastic change before your pheromone glands settle.”
Hyeseong nodded and openly explained the symptoms he experienced. Including the fact that the suppressants he took home after the first consultation weren’t very effective.
“You’re a bit of a unique case, so there’s a high possibility general suppressants didn’t work for you. But one thing I’m curious about is the duration of your heat.”
“The duration?”
“Usually, the heat of average omegas lasts anywhere from 3 days at the shortest to about a week at the longest. But you said all your symptoms disappeared in a day, and although your pheromone levels are higher than usual, it’s not at heat levels, so this part is a bit puzzling.”
His case wasn’t very common to begin with, and research on hybrid transformations was still actively ongoing, so the doctor also seemed unable to give a definitive medical answer.
The consultation continued and the conclusion was just to monitor future progress. Fortunately, based on Hyeseong’s pheromone levels and test results, the doctor could directly prescribe suppressants tailored for him.
Of course, this might not be very effective either, but it would work much better than the preliminary medicine he received before.
“Let’s continue to track when your heat comes.”
“Yes.”
After hearing there were no major abnormalities with his body, Hyeseong picked up his medicine at the hospital pharmacy and headed to the administration office. Just as he finished paying and was about to leave the hospital, he got a call from Ihyeok. Hyeseong was so startled he almost dropped his phone.
Ahem, he cleared his throat once before answering.
“Hello.”
“Hyeseong-ah.”
“Yes.”
“How are you feeling?”
Hyeseong widened his eyes at the unexpected question.
“You said you were very tired yesterday.”
Ah, he was talking about that. To somehow dissuade Ihyeok who said he was coming over, Hyeseong had made the excuse that he was tired and would go to bed early.
“I’m, I’m okay. Now. But why did you call?”
Hyeseong naturally and quickly changed the subject.
“Do you have any plans or appointments tonight?”
“No.”
“Okay. Then let’s have dinner together.”
Hyeseong, who had his eyes there, approached Ihyeok who had just finished paying and came out.
“Thanks for the meal.”
Ihyeok gently stroked Hyeseong’s hair.
“Hyeseong-ah, shall we take a walk?”
“Yes, I’d like that.”
Going out the side of the restaurant, a quiet walking path caught their eye. The small, cozy path made along a lake had quite a few people who had also finished eating.
The night air felt a bit chilly, unlike usual. Thinking the season for that was coming, Hyeseong, lost in sentiment, suddenly glanced at Ihyeok walking beside him.
Strangely, his heart pounded. Even though it wasn’t like that, it felt as if they were on a date as lovers. It would be really nice to hold that big hand and walk side by side together. Ihyeok’s hand was warm and also...
〈Ugh, it hurts, it’s, it’s deep...〉
As he was looking at Ihyeok’s hand like that, a memory flashed through his head like lightning. Hyeseong paused for a moment.
What is this scene? Is it his own? Or a dream? Hyeseong grabbed his head and rapidly moved his eyes.
“Hyeseong-ah.”
Ihyeok quickly bent down to meet Hyeseong’s eye level.
“What’s wrong. Are you hurting somewhere? Hm?”
“No, that’s not it...”
Hyeseong frowned. Why is that person there? What is this scene of him grabbing his body with those big hands and moaning inside that supposed to mean?
Hyeseong’s heart pounded loudly. Suddenly, all his nerves began to tense up.
“Ahjussi, look. I think I’m getting a fever again.”
Ihyeok began touching Hyeseong’s forehead, cheeks, and everywhere.
“Again...?”
There was a part of what Ihyeok said that particularly caught his ear. Ihyeok’s hand also abruptly stopped.
“Ahjussi, what do you mean by getting a fever again...”
Hyeseong bit his lip anxiously. But Ihyeok was the opposite. His eyes were heavily downcast and his expression also looked a bit dark.
“Hyeseong-ah. Let me ask you one thing.”
“...”
For some reason, he had a strong feeling he shouldn’t hear those words.
“Do you really not remember yesterday? Or are you lying to me again pretending not to remember?”
“Ye-yesterday, what are you suddenly talking about?”
Hyeseong’s eyes trembled finely. He really felt like his body was heating up and his sense of reality for this whole situation was evaporating. Each of Ihyeok’s words were becoming like arrows, relentlessly pricking his heart.
It was a kind of alarm.
“That you spent your first heat together with me.”
A siren sound loudly disrupted Hyeseong’s mind, warning that everything he had tightly wrapped up and piled well was all collapsing.
