Eun-yul was embarrassed and had nothing to do as Haneul gave him a glass of water and held Kang Ha-jun’s hand.
〈You’re not an uncle, you’re a father. So, I’ll go with dad.〉
Then, looking at Eunyul, he spoke clearly and settled the situation. Thanks to Kang Ha-jun not missing the opportunity that Haneul created, the two of them got together like this, so they got along quite well. I’m also happy that people call me dad in front of others.
“Let’s do well today.”
Haneul, who was looking into Kang Ha-jun’s eyes, smiled and hugged his neck.
“great.”
Haneul’s sincerity melted as he touched Kang Ha-jun’s ear.

“That’s strange. “Even though I took medicine, why doesn’t it subside?”
Eunyul, who came out of the room because she was thirsty, felt something strange and muttered. Originally, my cycle consisted of cold-like body aches that lasted for a day or two, and then the pheromones erupted.
So, until the second day, I took cold medicine and then took a suppressant before going to bed, but now it was different. Since I couldn’t suppress my pheromones, I took a suppressant earlier than usual, but it didn’t subside.
The fever rises to the tropics and the pheromones become uncontrollable.
Eunyul walked to the kitchen, wiping the sweat from her forehead, but stopped midway. Originally, he came out because he was thirsty, but the place Eunyul’s eyes were directed to was Kang Ha-jun’s room.
“Pheromones.”
Even though his pheromones, which she had already smelled several times, were only very faint, they got on Eunyul’s nerves. Maybe it was his senses heightened by cycling that caught it.
Eunyul, who was staring at Kang Ha-jun’s room, suddenly got a headache and pressed her temples.
It seems that being with Alpha had an effect on my cycle speeding up.
“I’m thirsty.”
I was thinking of just drinking water and going back to my room to lie down. Only then will you be able to come to your senses and welcome your child.
Eunyul had already taken the suppressant, but feeling that it wasn’t enough, she took another one.

Kang Ha-jun and Haneul’s expressions were bright as they walked to the restaurant before going home.
“Today was really fun.”
Even though Haneul had been running around the park all day, he seemed to be not tired and walked, stamping his feet as if he were flying.
Kang Ha-jun naturally smiled at the child’s excited voice. Wandering around the ecological park and participating in various events… … In particular, the two of them stood out so much that there was no time to rest as they exchanged a word or two with everyone who approached them.
After having such a rewarding time, I had a lot to say to Eunyul. As I searched for the note with the product written on it, I forgot about Kang Yi-heum’s harsh gaze, and put aside the complicated revenge for a moment while trying to guess the words that Haneul said through her gestures.
After spending time like that, I felt refreshed. Kang Ha-jun quickly looked around the restaurant, thinking he would stop by Suni’s Haejangguk and say hello before returning to focus on Eun-yul’s care. As he was trying to check where Lim Bong-soon was, he narrowed his eyes when he saw a restaurant that was different from usual.
The car parked in front of the restaurant is mine. Im Bong-soon was pacing around in the silence, as if her guests had not come and gone, with her back to her.
“grandma!”
As Haneul discovered Lim Bong-soon and ran to him, Kang Ha-jun, who was left alone, looked around every corner to find out what was going on.
“There’s not much to see.”
Lim Bong-soon, who was holding Haneul’s head, said to Kang Ha-jun.
“The restaurant wasn’t open today.”
“Is it because of what happened yesterday?”
Or, if it’s difficult to work alone because you don’t have Eunyul… … . She was wondering what alternative she could come up with, but Lim Bong-soon shook her head as if it wasn’t the case.
“How can you run a business every day? “It’s a closed day once in a while, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
In response to Lim Bong-soon’s explanation, Kang Ha-jun did not ask any further questions and was about to extend his hand toward Haneul.
“Leave Haneul here and come and take her away on Monday.”
Lim Bong-soon hugged Haneul’s shoulder with one hand and waved the other hand. Seeing her shaking hands, Lim Bong-soon narrowed her eyes as Kang Ha-jun was not moving easily.
“Oh, hurry up!”
“I did not consult with Eunyul.”
I am grateful that she is looking after Haneul, but I did not hear Eunyul’s opinion. However, Lim Bong-soon stretched out her wrinkled lips and raised her voice louder than before.
“If you ask that guy, do you think you would give an answer in your right mind?”
Kang Ha-jun’s eyes hardened at her words that seemed to know something. While he took her cell phone out of her pocket and dialed her Eun-yul’s number, Im Bong-soon had a look in his eyes that suggested he give it a try.
The beeping sound continued for a while, and then changed to a mechanical sound, and Kang Ha-jun lowered his phone and looked at the screen. Is Eunyul even sleeping right now? And did Lim Bong-sun know that?
“He’s very picky about what everyone says.”
Lim Bong-soon clicked her tongue and pushed Haneul into the restaurant. Now that Kang Ha-jun had stopped her from taking Haneul, she turned halfway and said to Kang Ha-jun.
“It’s going to hurt a lot. So take good care of it.”
Then Lim Bong-soon entered the restaurant without any hesitation and stuck a white piece of paper inside. Just as she was tracing the handwriting that said “Closed” with her eyes, Kang Ha-jun turned around.
If Eunyul asked why he didn’t bring Haneul, he could come back then. The first thing to do was check the status of Eunyul, who did not answer the phone right now.
* * *
The sound of the door lock being unlocked rang coldly. Kang Ha-jun, who was standing in the empty entrance with him, looked down the hallway.
The hallway of this house was made specially long so that the living room could not be seen directly during interior design.
This was to prevent those who entered the entrance from easily seeing Eunyul and Haneul. So I thought it would be great if I could feel as stable as a bird’s nest.
I couldn’t see anything, so I didn’t even know that I was getting the uncomfortable feeling of being tied to a leash.
Kang Ha-jun suppressed the urge to rush and took off his sneakers. He usually only wears shoes, but when he went out with Haneul, the heels of the new sneakers he wore were wrinkled and coming off.
It was okay if the reason I didn’t answer the phone earlier was because I was asleep. Since my fever had risen this morning and I wasn’t feeling well, it wouldn’t have mattered if I was too sleepy, but an ominous signal kept popping up in my mind.
Kang Ha-jun, who was thinking why he was feeling that way, stopped walking. He immediately realized why.
Kang Ha-jun’s eyes scanned the empty space. I wasn’t actually trying to see anything. I just felt like I was moving around leisurely in the air.
“Pheromones.”
Eunyul’s pheromones were floating around the house. It’s never been like this before. Eunyul did not reveal her pheromones very well. Kang Ha-jun also hid his pheromones as he normally naturally traps them.
The only things we can feel from each other are fabric softener, perfume, and the smell of Haneul.
Kang Ha-jun, following the pheromones that spread like fog around him, sighed and wiped his forehead as he felt his skin rising in contact with the air.
Omega’s pheromones were stimulating his body. The stimulation was especially strong when I heard that this pheromone was emitted by Eunyul.
Hajun Kang followed the path created by pheromones. That wasn’t coming from the room. As I gradually got closer to the place where I could feel the strong pheromones, I could faintly hear the sound of breathing.
Kang Ha-jun walked forward with heavy steps, as if he were tied to pheromones, and the place he stopped was in the kitchen.
I saw Eunyul. He was sitting hunched over next to the refrigerator… … .
“Eunyul… … .”
I was about to call him, but suddenly something around me caught my eye. Empty water bottles were lying around.
I understand why it is in the kitchen and not the room. But I don’t know why I’m sitting crumpled.
“Ha, Eunyul.”
Instead of staying like this, you should have contacted me. If I had done that, I would have run faster.
The moment Kang Ha-jun approached Eun-yul to pick him up, he raised his head.
To be exact, it was more like leaning against it than lifting it, but thanks to that, Eunyul’s face was revealed.
The heat cooling sheet that I had applied to my forehead in the morning had fallen off halfway and my hair was soaked with sweat and sticking to my skin.
“ha.”
Kang Ha-jun unconsciously held his breath at that small gesture of sighing and turning his head. A thick pheromone exploded from Eunyul. Just because I don’t breathe doesn’t mean I can completely avoid those pheromones, but I did it unconsciously.
I needed to know what was going on before I fell for Eunyul’s pheromones defenselessly.
“I’m thirsty… … .”
Eunyul, who was sweating profusely, placed her fumbling hands on the floor and picked up a half-filled water bottle. And just as he was about to drink it, Kang Ha-jun quickly approached him and snatched the bottle of water from him.
“uh… … .”
Only then did Eunyul seem to have noticed that Kang Ha-jun had arrived, and she opened her eyes with excitement. He looked at the water bottle as if he was very anxious, but Kang Ha-jun shook his head. There were already several empty water bottles lined up around Eunyul.
“It’s not good to keep drinking water like this.”
“I’m thirsty… … .”
As Eun-yul spoke while licking her lips, Kang Ha-jun stared at her face and suddenly bent his finger and touched her lips. Despite moistening it with his tongue, the epidermis quickly dried out and became rough. Kang Ha-jun, who saw that she was clearly thirsty, lowered his hand and caressed the lines of Eun-yul’s face.
Sweat glistened on the cold skin. The fever was much lower than in the morning. The sweat flowing now was probably cold sweat, so I could see how tired Eunyul was sighing.
“Has it always been like this?”
When Eunyul shook her head at his question, the heat cooling sheet that was barely attached fell off. Kang Ha-jun touched his forehead with the back of his hand and made eye contact.
“It’s not just body aches.”
I guessed it based on the pheromones I felt from the moment I entered the house, and I was confident when I saw Eunyul’s current state.
“When the cycle comes… … .”
Eunyul opened his clenched hand and showed the medicine bag containing the suppressant.
“It comes with a cold.”
Eunyul exhaled hot breath and moistened her lips again. That didn’t make my thirst go away, but I didn’t have the strength to take the bottle of water in Kang Ha-jun’s hand.
Kang Ha-jun looked at his trembling fingertips and gently squeezed them. The fact that this was the cycle that Eun-yul had to endure dragged Ha-jun Kang’s heart heavily into the abyss.
“But it’s strange.”
Eunyul muttered without knowing who she was talking to.
“There’s no way it’s coming this fast.”
Kang Ha-jun, who was watching him speak while squinting, raised his hand. I spread my hands out as much as I could, as if trying to warm his cool face with my own warmth. When I reached my hand over his cheek to his ear, it seemed like half of Eunyul’s face was covered.
“I think it’s because of me.”
Seeing Eunyul’s eyes turn towards him filled him with a subtle sense of satisfaction. When he stroked the area around Eunyul’s eyes, it felt like his fingertips were trembling even though there was no pulse. Or is it my pulse that touches him?
“Under the influence of Alpha.”
Seeing Eunyul’s eyes filled with me, Kang Ha-jun raised his other hand and caressed the area around her neck as if tickling her.
“Pheromones are much more sensitive than we think… … “Sharp.”
Hearing Kang Ha-jun’s slow words, Eun-yul closed her mouth as if she was thinking about what he was saying. Kang Ha-jun smiled leisurely, as if he had forgotten that he was about to pick him up and put him on the bed. He hadn’t really forgotten. It’s just that I figured out a way to calm down Eun-yul’s current state.
“Because the heart perceives what it feels before the head.”
“first… … Do you notice?”
Kang Ha-jun, who saw Eun-yul’s face repeating his words like a baby bird, soon found his composure.
“okay. Notice what you’re attracted to and make the first move. To seduce the other person… … .”
