Pink Flavor Omega

#1

“Huh… Ugh…”

“…Ah, look at me.”

“Hick, what, what should I do.”

“…Try to get a hold of yourself.”

I felt dizzy. As if I had downed several bottles of soju in one go, my vision was spinning and I kept taking shallow breaths due to an endless feeling of falling.

The sensation of something heavy pounding my lower abdomen, something inside my stomach seemed to be alive, writhing, breaking down my insides and rebuilding them. I kept shrinking away from the hot touch of hands sliding down my finely trembling skin.

The back of my throat gets wet from the scent I’ve deeply inhaled. As I shudder at that unfamiliar feeling, long arms gently embrace me as if to trap me.

‘Who?’

My face is completely wet, blurring my vision. I grabbed and hugged whatever I could get my hands on. My fingertips caught sweaty skin. Through eyelids that seemed glued shut, I could see a bright pink color filling my view.

“…Do it.”

“……!”

I couldn’t hear clearly what the response was to my barely uttered request. No, I heard it, but I couldn’t understand the meaning. Was it a curse? It sounded like low muttering of curses.

What is this…

It feels like my head is melting away. The vibration that started in my chest spread through my blood vessels to my limbs, making my fingertips and toes throb. My ears are ringing as if they’re about to burst.

A throbbing pleasure runs down my spine.

I couldn’t hold back and came from the forceful thrusting.

“Huh… hick… ughh…”

I curled up my body that was convulsing from the unfamiliar sensation. While my mind was completely blank, a clear voice pierced my ears.

“We’re still far from done.”

The owner of the voice seemed somewhat angry for some reason.

“Ban Eunhong?”

“……”

“Try to come to your senses!”

Eunhong thought to himself. The dream felt so real. From the noisy ambulance sound to the terrible ride… Even the rough-looking rescue workers looking down at him seemed unusually real.

“Are you high or what? Is this date rape?”

“Should we contact the police first?”

“There are always accidents like this on Christmas. Oh my.”

“……”

Eunhong, who had been straddling the boundary between reality and sleep for a long time, struggled to open his mouth, but no sound came out. After gaping like a carp for a few times, the rescue worker sitting next to him finally noticed and put his ear close to Eunhong.

“…Cold…”

“Ban Eunhong? Are you conscious?”

“…I’m cold.”

Indeed, Eunhong was shivering uncontrollably. This was despite being covered with a thick thermal blanket. His whole body was shaking violently, beyond his control, as if a motor had been attached somewhere inside him.

“We’re almost at the hospital. Just hang on a little longer.”

After a long and difficult time, the ambulance’s back door finally opened. As the rescue workers carefully pulled out the mobile bed where Eunhong was lying, a doctor who had come out to meet them approached.

Or rather, he tried to approach.

“This person seems to be in heat!”

The doctor covered his nose and mouth with both hands and stepped back.

‘Heat? What does that mean…?’

Eunhong was curious about this even in his hazy state of mind.

***

“Oh, Mr. Ban Eunhong? You probably don’t know what’s happening to your body right now, right?”

A doctor in a white gown quickly flipped Eunhong’s eyelids up and down. He seemed to think Eunhong wasn’t in his right mind.

“You’ve manifested as an extremely rare omega. Congratulations.”

Extreme… what omega?

“…So from now on, you’ll need to manage your heat cycles through a specialized hospital.”

“He… heat…”

“Mr. Ban Eunhong?”

“Yes?”

Despite the somewhat pressing tone, Eunhong just felt dazed. His brain was working slowly due to too much incomprehensible information coming in at once.

Eunhong, who had expected to open his eyes in the ambulance, be in the emergency room, and then be discharged, was guided here instead. They said he couldn’t stay in the emergency room because pheromones were leaking out. He thought there might have been some mistake, but since it was the largest university hospital in Seoul, he silently complied.

The ceiling was too luxurious for a hospital. Eunhong stared at the wooden ceiling fan slowly turning and zoned out again for a moment. The interior, with thick rugs spread over shiny marble, was like a hotel suite. From the super king-sized bed to the spacious reception room and huge TV, even the single-person recliner sofa Eunhong was sitting on was dizzyingly luxurious.

“…So you can’t go to a general hospital from now on.”

The doctor, who had mistakenly thought Eunhong was listening, frowned slightly when he didn’t get a proper response even after spilling out a long story. As he was about to urge again, Eunhong turned his head.

“Wasn’t it an urban legend?”

“Pardon?”

“That, the extremely rare omega trait or whatever. Wasn’t that an urban legend?”

Ha…. The doctor pressed his eyes hard with his hand under his glasses. The square metal-framed glasses rose to his deeply wrinkled forehead and then fell with a thud. The doctor’s face turned bright red.

“I’ll explain one last time.”

“No need. I heard it all.”

Eunhong nimbly rose from the long recliner chair made of buffalo leather. It was a very light movement for someone who had been brought in just a few hours ago. As he dangled his legs neatly to the side of the chair, he noticed his pants with protruding knees. It was the most noticeable thing in this luxurious hospital room.

As he was about to slip his feet into his crumpled sneakers and quickly leave this hotel-like hospital room, the doctor frantically grabbed Eunhong.

“Patient, I don’t think you properly understand the situation you’re in!”

The doctor’s attitude had clearly changed in a short time. He seemed flustered by Eunhong’s appearance of leaving without hesitation. Worried that Eunhong might just leave like this, he timidly grabbed even the hem of his clothes.

He had been so arrogant earlier, bringing Eunhong to the most luxurious room, talking about the highest-grade trait, mentioning billion-won families in politics and business, saying he’d hit the lottery and how fortunate it was that he came to their hospital… Eunhong quietly looked down at the doctor’s hand carefully holding his sleeve.

He was about to shake off those oily, plump fingers, but he held back, drawing the character for patience in his mind.

“So, you’re saying that at this age, I suddenly manifested as an extremely rare omega or whatever and became a top-tier breeder. And that the chaebols are crazy about it.”

“B-b-b-breeder…”

“Please don’t swear.”

“I wasn’t swearing!”

Squeak- The sound of rubber soles sliding on the marble floor was heard. Eunhong unhesitatingly removed the doctor’s hand and turned around. Just then, a woman in a two-piece uniform entered the hospital room, hurriedly opening the door while holding a thick file to her chest. With not a single strand of hair out of place in her tightly tied bun, she wore a perfectly drawn smile.

“Hello, Mr. Ban Eunhong. I’m Kim Heeju, a trait matching manager. I wanted to introduce you to a good opportunity before you leave.”

Eunhong’s eyebrow quirked up. Ah, so this is the person the doctor had been waiting for, fidgeting like a puppy that needs to pee. He got the sense. The woman who introduced herself as a trait matching manager was indeed a professional. Even when Eunhong blatantly ignored her outstretched hand for a handshake, she maintained her bright smile without losing it.

“What kind of introduction?”

Eunhong asked, deciding to hear her out for now. He was curious too. In response, Manager Kim Heeju pulled up her lips, creating a bright smile.

“You seem to already know why I’m here…. Shall we sit down first?”

The two quickly exchanged glances and offered Eunhong a chair again.

Eunhong, who chose a small, round stool instead of the recliner, was handed the file.

“This is the waiting list of those waiting for a donor.”

“Donor? Donation?”

Manager Kim Heeju answered affirmatively, narrowing her eyes.

“As this bloodline project for VIPs only is such a sensitive matter, all the personal information of those waiting has been blinded. But if you look here…”

The manager’s finger pointed to a certain part of the file.

“The gender and age of the partner you need to have a relationship with, along with the offered financial conditions, are all disclosed. As you might have guessed, it will be carried out in utmost secrecy, and if you wish, you’ll be cared for in a top-class hotel room throughout your pregnancy and childbirth. Your personal information will also be completely incinerated once the birthing process is over.”

“Isn’t it too much that you haven’t even shown the face of the person I’m supposed to sleep with?”

Eunhong became curious if Lee Jaeha might be on this list. He narrowed his eyes to see if anything might be visible through the gaps in the black marking tape covering various parts, but nothing was visible except for the extravagantly presented amounts.

The conditions presented in the file were overwhelming. Eunhong started counting the number of ‘0’s but gave up. A weak laugh escaped between his teeth. All this for a trait… Money seems so easy for these people. He was also taken aback by the expression “waiting for a donor.” The red blood flowing in Eunhong’s veins stirred.

“Wow…, and you call this a donation.”

“Among ourselves, we also say it’s contributing to society.”

Though she must have understood the sarcastic tone, the manager’s drawn-on smile didn’t crumble even a bit. She recited the guidance to Eunhong as if a robot reading a manual.
