MTLNOVEL Chapter 260: I'm glad you were able to calm him down but...
After hearing Ki-hoon's conclusion, my head began to spin gradually.
Ki-hoon proceeded to explain why he thought my heat was to blame but I was a bit lost in another galaxy, not even trying to swim or float my way back.
Oblivion had gotten the better of me.
Ki-hoon explained that he read a bit about Omegas a while back, so he'd understand me better. Such a hardworking handsome fellow.
He didn't want to be taken by surprise if something that only Omegas were aware about suddenly happened, and for me who had missing memories, I might've forgotten about a few things concerning my body so he wanted to be in the know how when it came to my body system and help me in case of an unknown emergency.
(So, he knows your body more than you. Wow)
He never thought he'd get to use that knowledge since they could just call Cha Hyun-woo if anything went wrong but since the doctor was absent, he had to bring forth his knowledge and help.
Omegas in this world had a rather complex heat cycle.
While it felt like a normal heat where one would require an Alpha partner who would share the heat with them until it was finally over, it wasn't that simple.
Some Omegas get very defensive during the period that their body is preparing for their heat cycle. Some become rather violent. And others become submissive, wishing to be pampered and if they don't get pampered to the extent that their body wants, they cry as if they were neglected.
And their traits aren't permanent.
During one heat cycle, the Omega might be submissive but during their next heat cycle, they could become a savage. So their mood swings vary a lot.
But aside from this, there was the emotional turmoil they went through.
An emotional instability that broke even further without any sort of assurance from their partner.
To those omegas who couldn't calculate their heat cycle, they usually use these changes to predict when their cycle is going to hit.
Well, I was just an odd case. I knew nothing about any of that, and while I did guess that my heat was coming, I had no idea it carried other factors like messed-up emotions and unnecessary drama.
Right now... I feel like an idiot, and at the same time, relieved.
So, I wasn't going insane with guilt and the future might be safe, despite my worries, after all.
Yes, while it was my emotions breaking down uncontrollably that prompted such thoughts, it was still a thought to consider.
A little slip-up could cause my masters to fight each other, but since I don't have a favorite that would warrant the hatred of the others, I think it should be fine.
"Do you feel better after hearing that?" Ki-hoon asked, and I looked at him. His friendly smile spread across his lips, and the relief that didn't fall from his eyes.
Ah, I felt so much better.
"Yes, thank you, Hyung."
"If you feel that guilt and uncertainty, you don't have to worry about it. Soon, once your heat is over, you'll no longer feel that way. So, for now..." He leaned closer and then kissed my forehead. "Please bear with it and if it weighs on your mind too much that you can no longer take it, my door is wide open for you."
Standing at the door and listening in on the matter were the other three who were wondering what was taking me so long and where Ki-hoon had disappeared to.
First, it was Jin-Yeok who wondered if I was taking too long because I couldn't change my clothes on my own.
He saw this as an opportunity to walk in and lend a helping hand, but as soon as he got to the door, he heard my whimpers and my woes.
It was from the point where I said these words, "If I don't and one of my masters gets too jealous at the attention I give to another master, to the point that they decide to go to an extreme length then I..."
He couldn't walk in even if he wanted to because it looked like I was having a moment. A moment he could not afford to interrupt.
After which, Seo-Jun and Min-Cheol walked up to him, thinking he was spying on me while I changed clothes, like a pervert, but he placed his finger across his lips to silence them, and they heard it as well.
They heard from the part where Ki-hoon said he could not pretend to understand every single thing I said.
They somewhat understood the situation since the sounds of me sniffing could make them understand that I was crying.
They stayed still till the end and after Ki-hoon's reassurance, Jin-Yeok stepped in and said,
"I'm glad you were able to calm him down but... Don't you think you're brushing off the most important detail here?"
I looked at him, wondering how long he had been there and then I saw the other two walk in, looking a bit awkward.
Did they fight? I wondered.
"What is it?" Ki-hoon asked and it seemed like he had indeed forgotten about the important thing.
Ah, even I knew what Jin-Yeok was talking about.
"He's talking about Jo-Pil's heat." Seo-Jun answered. "Even if it's all done and settled, what are you, no, what are we going to do about his heat that's coming?"
Ki-hoon took a minute to process those words and then he began to panic.
"Fuck!"
For the first time, I heard Ki-hoon cuss. It was an eye-opener.
He was always so calm and more mature in thinking than the rest, that I did not expect it, but I guess this situation was far more dangerous and harder than they could handle.
"I'm going to be really blunt here." Seo-Jun said. "It's already too late to think of suppressing the heat since it's already come this far. So, the only way to get through it is to..." He poked his index finger through the hole he made with his other hand. "Have intercourse. And nothing more."
(Come to think of it. Do you think Jo-Pil was able to kill that Alpha because he was in a violent state? What if he had been submissive? Jeez, can't even imagine what would've gone down but let's be thankful that didn't happen)
