Chapter 159: You are welcome
Seoha’s POV
Quit?
"You can...you can just quit?" I ask in a scared voice and he smiles at me softly, eyes mapping out my face.
He looks like he has found something there, and he’s getting distracted with it.
"Taesan?" I whisper and he blinks.
"Hmm, I have been planning it from the start, a take over...and the part of it that no one knows about is the quitting" he says and I frown.
"But if it’s that way...why didn’t you quit all along?" I ask and he slides his hand up my back, resting it there.
"I couldn’t do it because I’m a fucking coward" the alpha says with a demeaning laugh.
His tone, the dry laugh, and the look in his eyes makes me sit up.
I sit up on his body so that I’m straddling him with my hands on his broad chest.
The word Coward and Kang Taesan don’t go together.
Coward, where?
I look down at the man I’m straddling, our clothed cocks brush against each other, but none of us are thinking about that right now.
His hair, slightly longer now, makes him look like those rogue kings that people fantasize about.
No...it makes him look like the captain that he is.
He looks rugged and rough, I can see that he hasn’t slept well, and it hurts my heart.
"Coward?" I repeat the word after seconds of staring at him like the lovestruck fool I am.
"Coward" he repeats.
"That’s impossible, a coward doesn’t do what you do...you go away into the night and do things no one in their right minds will ever do" I say in a small voice.
Am I scared he might punish me for daring to talk about him like that? Yes.
"Baby, you have no idea" he says, placing his hands on my hips.
We are the still fully clothed, but the rubs his thumbs in circles, and the way he uses that title does something to me.
"You’re not a coward" I say.
"I am, I was scared of loving you, scared of turning you to my mother" he counters my words and I shake my head.
"If you’re a coward, then what am I?" I ask, tears welling up in my eyes.
I lived my life under Daeshin’s manipulation, I didn’t realize that he was taking advantage of me, I didn’t know how weak I was...until I met Taesan.
Taesan broke me in way no one has ever done.
He ruined me, stole my virginity from me, made me nothing...and then built me up. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
I’m sick and stupid for not hating him for what he has done to me...but I was not made to hate anyway.
Soft is strong too...right?
My softness made the alpha see that he can love, my softness has unraveled him in the same way he has done to me, and I wouldn’t want to leave this.
"You? You’re art, Seoha, you’re perfect, you’re...my treasure" he replies my question.
"You’re not a coward" I repeat, leaning down to kiss him, and just before our lips touch, the door is opened.
My best friend, the ultimate cockblocker, stands there with his hands over his stomach.
"Time up, I tried to act polite and all, but I have to pee!" Minjae yells, storming into the room and running to the bathroom.
"What is that wild cat doing here?" Taesan asks with a growl, reverting to the cold CEO that has a beef with my best friend.
"Oh...I was going to tell you" I start, getting off him and sitting on the bed next to him.
I don’t want Minjae to see us in this position again.
The alpha raises a brow in a questioning manner.
"Well...Minjae and I don’t have a place to stay anymore, we moved out of the apartment he shared with his ex"
"And?"
"And we will be staying here, I promise we won’t bother you, Minnie and I will share this room, we will pay for-" freewebnovel.cσ๓
"Pay?" Taesan’s question stops my rushed explanation and I nod slowly.
"Yes, we’ll pay for the accommodation" I say the words like I’m ready to run and hide.
"Good, you’ll pay with your presence, you’ll be sleeping in my room" Taesan gets out of the bed, adjusting his clothes before looking at me.
Eh?
"But...but we’re courting" I stutter.
"We sleep next to each other, it’s not hard for you, is it...omega?" he asks and I might be imagining things, but I see a playful glint in his eyes.
How many sides of Taesan have I not seen yet?
"It’s not hard" I mutter.
’It will be’ my omega purrs and I slap my palms over my eyes.
"I’m only trying to lighten the mood, little deer, don’t think too much about it" he says and ruffles my hair.
"You and your friend are welcome to stay, told you you’re welcome in my world, didn’t I, Bambi?" he asks and I nod shyly.
Bambi, baby, little deer...all in one day.
This moment almost makes me forget that the world outside of this room exists; that there are people like grandfather, Daeshin, Jaemin and even Choyeon.
"Thank you, captain Taesan" I whisper and his eyes darken briefly.
"Don’t call me that, ever again" he says in the same tone he told me not to kneel between his legs in and I start to blush.
"Are you two done or should I force myself to pee some more?" Minjae asks with a fake swooning tone.
"That pest" Taesan hisses under his breath.
"You’re the pest, you overgrown mahogany tree!" Minjae yells back.
"Tall, dark, psycho" he continues to say and I run to shut Minjae’s mouth, smiling apologetically at Taesan.
If this bonehead wasn’t pregnant, I would have attempted to give him a smack down. I really need to get into bodybuilding.
"Forgive my friend, he’s not always this...insane" I say and Minjae licks my palm.
"See you later, treasure" Taesan says before leaving the room and I punch Minjae’s arm.
"Are you crazy?" I hiss at him and he rolls his eyes.
"You, are you crazy?" he asks me back.
"Act civilized"
"You know what, I’m no longer stopping you, give my baby a best friend" Minjae gives a sly smirk and I sigh.
"Oh, shut up" I mutter.
