The Omega Is Pregnant-Chapter 60

Kang In-hyuk, having arrived at Tae-seo’s house, pounded on the door as if he was going to break it down.

"Open the door. Open it now!"

"Who’s banging on the door... Oh? In-hyuk?"

"Open it now!"

Kang In-hyuk, fist clenched, shouted again, as if he were about to strike the door. Because of this, the housekeeper, realizing that it was better to come out and open the door herself than press the button from inside, stepped outside.

"Don’t yell at an adult like that..."

The housekeeper, belatedly realizing that she had rushed out without her shoes on, turned to say something to In-hyuk. But before she had the chance, Kang In-hyuk had already rushed inside, cutting her off.

Just a moment ago, Tae-seo had staggered inside, and now, after years of not coming, In-hyuk had rushed in.

"Anyone would think something serious had happened... Oh, you startled me. You came quickly."

The housekeeper muttered to herself, but then she froze, startled by someone standing behind her. Her chest tightened as she grabbed it.

Meanwhile, Kang In-hyuk, inside the house, immediately headed for Tae-seo’s room. Despite not having come here in years, his body remembered exactly where it was. He climbed the familiar stairs, opened the door, and froze when he saw Tae-seo lying on the floor.

Seeing Tae-seo on the floor, Kang In-hyuk pressed his hand to his pounding heart and slowly entered the room. He didn’t want to admit that this was Seo Da-rae’s doing. He wished this was all just some kind of sick joke.

"Tae-seo."

Kang In-hyuk stood before Tae-seo but couldn’t kneel down immediately. In a faint voice, he called out to him, hoping for a response, but when he confirmed that Tae-seo’s mouth wouldn’t open, he collapsed beside him.

"Tae-seo, wake up. Yoon Tae-seo."

Shaking his shoulders, In-hyuk kept calling his name. The despair on his face grew as he did so. Seeing the cold sweat on Tae-seo’s face, In-hyuk gently slid his arms under Tae-seo’s neck and legs. Now was not the time to think about who had done this. Getting Tae-seo to open his eyes was the most important thing.

"I’ll take you to the hospital. You need to hold on until then."

Murmuring to himself, hoping Tae-seo could hear, In-hyuk pulled him closer. Just as he was about to leave and head for the door, someone blocked his way, stopping him in his tracks.

It was Kang Se-heon.

"Move."

"If you put Tae-seo down, I’ll let you go."

Kang Se-heon watched his cousin holding his lover in his arms. Tae-seo, who usually chattered away, was now lying with his eyes closed, as still as if he were sleeping.

"Did you not hear me? Do you not see that Tae-seo is in critical condition?"

In-hyuk glared at Se-heon, unable to move forward. He could already picture Tae-seo lying in a hospital bed with a doctor, but this situation was dragging on and it was unbearable.

"Why should you do it? Who are you to him?"

“...What?”

Kang Se-heon took a step into the room. Just one step, but his long legs seemed to take him deep into the room. Standing directly in front of In-hyuk, Se-heon looked down at Tae-seo.

"My lover, I’ll take him."

Se-heon, as though claiming him, gently pulled Tae-seo from In-hyuk’s arms. He picked him up easily, without hesitation, and turned to leave. It was clear now—Tae-seo was Se-heon’s responsibility, and In-hyuk was no longer a concern.

After Se-heon left, In-hyuk stood there alone. He curled his hands tightly at his sides, unable to shake the feeling of having lost something. The warmth of Tae-seo’s body, which he had just held, now felt like it was slipping through his fingers.

"We’re heading straight to the hospital now."

[I'll follow as soon as I can. Thank you.]

Thanks to Yoon Seok-hoon, who had prepared for any unusual signs, the situation progressed quickly. As soon as the housekeeper reported that Tae-seo was sweating cold sweat, Se-heon arrived almost immediately.

After a short call with Yoon Seok-hoon, Se-heon slipped his phone into his pocket and turned his gaze to Tae-seo, still in his arms. Tae-seo, who had been smiling until yesterday, now lay unconscious, eyes closed as if lifeless. Even as the car shook during the drive to the hospital, Tae-seo’s body jolted, but he never opened his eyes.

"I can’t take this anymore."

Se-heon held Tae-seo tightly and released his own pheromones. Pushing away the pheromones of another Alpha that clung to Tae-seo, he muttered,

"I need him by my side."

So that something like this never happens again.

As calm as ever, Se-heon’s pheromones were now flaring up uncontrollably.

"We’ve arrived."

At the driver’s words, Se-heon shifted his body, still holding Tae-seo, and turned around. The driver quickly opened the door, allowing Se-heon to move smoothly into ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ the hospital.

"What’s going on?"

Dr. Jin Gyu-min, who had been waiting, approached and observed Tae-seo in Se-heon’s arms. After checking Tae-seo’s pale face and the cold sweat, Dr. Jin blocked Se-heon’s path.

"Not this way, follow me."

At Jin Gyu-min’s call, Se-heon silently changed direction and followed him. Right now, the most important thing was making sure Tae-seo regained consciousness.

"Wait here for a moment. Don’t come in until I come out..."

"What about Tae-seo?"

"I’ll try to bring him back to his senses. I’ll also figure out what caused this. In the meantime, wait here. If you’re anxious, you can count numbers or something."

Dr. Jin Gyu-min laid Tae-seo on a mobile hospital bed before heading into the examination room. Before entering, he warned Se-heon. With outside access restricted, he wasn’t sure how Se-heon would react, so he made sure to reassure him one last time before disappearing behind the automatic doors.

Even before the doors closed, the sound of Dr. Jin’s instructions rattled in Se-heon’s mind, and he clenched his fists.

As soon as the door closed and Tae-seo disappeared from sight, Kang Se-heon leaned against the wall with his hand. For the first time, the calm and composed Se-heon seemed drained, and he lowered his head.

“One, two, three...”

Waiting for Tae-seo to come out was becoming unbearable. So, Kang Se-heon, following Jin Gyu-min’s instructions, slowly counted the numbers.

Tae-seo, who had begged to be picked up during his heat cycle. Tae-seo, who had turned his gaze away from him in the elevator. Tae-seo, who became an Omega but whose scent he couldn’t detect. Tae-seo, who had asked for his phone number...

As he counted, moments with Tae-seo passed through his mind one by one. He had been looking forward to the days they would spend together, but in the blink of an eye, all his hopes had fallen to the ground.

With his eyes closed, Se-heon silently wished for Tae-seo to be safe, but suddenly, the hurried sound of footsteps reached his ears. Se-heon opened his eyes and saw Yoon Seok-hoon, Kim Mi-kyung, and Kang In-hyuk rushing toward him.

"Tae-seo..."

"He’s in the examination room."

It was odd that they mentioned the examination room instead of the emergency room or operating room, but no one, except for Kang In-hyuk, acted strangely.

"Tae-seo."

Kim Mi-kyung staggered, and Kang In-hyuk quickly grabbed her to keep her from falling. Yoon Seok-hoon held her other arm to steady her. However, even Yoon Seok-hoon was clearly troubled, his focus on Tae-seo.

Kang In-hyuk looked around and gently led Kim Mi-kyung to a nearby chair.

"Please sit here for now."

Kang In-hyuk gestured to Yoon Seok-hoon with his eyes to indicate that he would handle it, while he held Kim Mi-kyung’s shoulders and spoke calmly to her.

"Why is this happening to Tae-seo...?"

"The Alpha’s pheromones... I think he might have been exposed to something illegal. His life isn’t in danger, though."

Most pheromone-related crimes involved triggering an Omega's heat cycle. The real danger wasn’t life-threatening but the destruction of the pheromone glands. That’s why Kang In-hyuk could endure this situation.

However, he couldn’t say where it came from. Though he knew what had happened, he couldn’t explain it to Kim Mi-kyung. He couldn’t protect Seo Da-rae, but he was at a loss for words.

Kang Se-heon, noticing Kang In-hyuk’s hesitation, narrowed his eyes. He silently observed In-hyuk.

Unlike himself, who had received word that Tae-seo’s condition was critical, Kang In-hyuk had appeared as if he already knew Tae-seo had collapsed. Moreover, no one had come out of the examination room yet, but In-hyuk seemed to know the cause.

Unaware of Se-heon’s gaze, Kang In-hyuk continued to support Kim Mi-kyung’s trembling body. As he helped her sit down on the nearby chair, he didn’t let go of her arm, afraid she might collapse again.

"What are we going to do about Tae-seo...?"

"Calm down."

Kang In-hyuk comforted her, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. Both Yoon Seok-hoon and Kim Mi-kyung were clearly shaken, and Kang In-hyuk did his best to soothe her.

"Who did this to Tae-seo?"

"If you fall down now, you can’t help him. So please don’t collapse."

"In-hyuk, we can’t let Tae-seo be in danger."

"I know."

Kang In-hyuk responded to her, trying to keep her calm, but no matter how much he tried to comfort her, Kim Mi-kyung’s sobs only grew stronger.

"It’ll be okay. Even though he’s showing signs of Omega now, it’s not life-threatening..."

"Tae-seo is pregnant."

"..."

Kang In-hyuk, momentarily stunned, looked down at Kim Mi-kyung, unsure if he had heard correctly. Kim Mi-kyung, still crying, looked up at him with tear-filled eyes.

"Our Tae-seo is pregnant, In-hyuk."

Kang In-hyuk’s shock was fully reflected in Kang Se-heon’s eyes.
