[Bl] Tired Of Living As An Omega Chapter 122 – END

It finally came. The time to tell him why I came back home.

“Yes. I’m dating Seo Eun-soo.”

“Are you here to brag about it?”

“You should know better than anyone that I’m not here for that, Yoo Yi-seo.”

When I joked with him playfully, the corners of his mouth were subtly lifted on Yoo Yi-seo’s tired face. He seemed resigned, as if he had expected things to turn out this way.

‘Did Yoo Yi-seo become more composed after seeing his past life as a dream?’

It was strange to see him, someone I could never quite understand, looking at me with such a calm gaze. It felt as if he already knew what I was going to say.

Yoo Yi-seo fired off a series of questions at me like an interrogator.

“Are you going to have a long-distance relationship?”

“Why would I?”

“Seo Eun-soo hasn’t graduated from school yet, so don’t you wish for his graduation, Chan-young ssi? If it’s something you want to do for your beloved partner, I’ll make sure it happens.”

“Then I’ll just go along with him.”

“Why are you being so protective? Acting like this when you can’t survive without seeing the land you work on every day.”

“…That’s something I can handle, right? Isn’t that right, Seo Eun-soo ssi?”

“Of course.”

Seo Eun-soo, who had been quietly observing my actions all this time, seemed amused by Yoo Yi-seo’s questions, but his eyes bore into Yoo Yi-seo ominously, as if he might devour him.

“I hope you aren’t too interested in other people’s partners, Yoo Yi-seo. If Chan-young wants to stay here and continue farming, I can come down here from Seoul every day.”

“Seo Eun-soo ssi.”

“Yes, Chan-young ssi.”

“I appreciate you saying that for my sake. But… If you become a college student and try to come here every day, Seo Eun-soo might just collapse from exhaustion…”

Even though I’ve had surreal experiences like transmigrating into a book and even fulfilling a long-standing wish, I was still a very realistic person.

‘Every time I heard my siblings who are in college talking, they always seemed incredibly busy. They have assignments, team projects, they need to build up their resumes, and they even have drinking plans in between. They wished to have some sort of clone technique to help them.’

Even my siblings, who were born and raised in the orchard and were physically trained through labor, complained about being tired. Even though he’s an extreme dominant alpha, I didn’t think Seo Eun-soo would be immune to fatigue.

“Even if Seo Eunsu is an extreme dominant alpha, I hope you won’t overexert yourself.”

Because if he dies…

“How about you only come down here during the weekends when the semester starts? During the weekdays, I’ll come up to Seoul. On weekends, we can work on the farm together, and in Seoul, we can… uh, have dates!”

‘Ugh, the word ‘date’ sounds so unfamiliar.’

But still, isn’t this a great plan? You have to balance work and life to be happy in a relationship, right? You have to apply work-life balance to dating too!

“How does that sound?”

“…. I think it’s best for me to do as you wish, Chan-young.”

Huh. Why does he look so lifeless, like he’s been burnt to a crisp?

“… You don’t like it? I’m sorry if I only thought about myself.”

“Why would I? I’m just a little sad, that’s all…”

What’s there to be sad about?

“Pfft-“

‘Huh?’

It was a sincere advice I gave out because I was truly worried about Seo Eun-soo, but I could see the alpha around me struggling to hold back their giggling laughter.

“Pfft, haha-“

“Seriously, Chan-young, you’re such a funny guy…Hahaha.”

Chase Yoon-chan couldn’t hold back his laughter any longer and burst into laughter. Joo Tae-kang next to him also exploded into laughter as if infected, laughing wildly.

“Why are you laughing? Is what I said funny?”

When I looked at them with a determined look that said I wouldn’t let this issue slide, Joo Tae-kang chuckled and even snorted before answering.

“Oh, no. We’re not laughing at you. Snickers.”

“…Then what is it?”

“Laughing without even feeling the pain of someone’s heartbreak… It’s just too funny… Yah, Seo Eun-soo, you’re going to have a hard time.”

“Shut up.”

‘Ah, that’s what I was going to say.’

Despite Joo Tae-kang’s words, Seo Eun-soo still responded with a smile. It felt like Seo Eun-soo was angry even though he was clearly masking his pheromones perfectly.

Whether it was the discomfort on Seo Eun-soo’s face or the joy in the air, Chase Yoon-chan joined in with a smirk.

“Ah, cheer up, Seo Eun-soo. Take care of yourself so you don’t lose muscle. If you become too weak to handle both your studies and farming, how disappointed do you think Seong Chan-young will be?”

‘He’s really cursing him.’

Why use words like muscle loss when we’re supposed to farm together?

“Unless you want dirt in your eyes and mouth, shut it.”

“Nope. When else can I tease you? Hah! Oh, it feels so refreshing to even let go of the slightest grudge now that Seong Chan-young has taken it all away.”

“Why are you laughing so much?”

“You don’t need to know.”

Chase Yoon-chan burst into laughter like crazy, his expression looked refreshed. He approached me and offered something.

“Here, take it.”

“Oh! It’s a four-leaf clover!”

“I found it while hoeing the field while you were gone.”

The still fresh and vibrant four-leaf clover seemed like it would make a great bookmark if coated. It must have been picked up at a stationery store in town, but the fact that he found it and gave it to me made me burst into laughter.

“Thank you. I’ll treasure it.”

It was unusual for Chae Yoon-chan to do something so thoughtful. Has he grown up? He was such a good guy…

“When you break up with Seo Eun-soo, come find me with that.”

…Guess not.

“Hey! Do you keep wanting to sprinkle salt on other people’s relationships?!”

Even though I was boiling with anger, Chae Yoon-chan didn’t close his mouth.

“Remember, it’s sincere! Don’t block my number or delete it!”

And with that, Chase Yoon-chan drove away to escape my pursuit.

“…He really left.”

I never expected to part ways like this, but it was so absurd and ridiculous that I couldn’t help but laugh. It was a typical Chae Yoon-chan exit.

“I’m kind of like Chae Yoon-chan too.”

Baek Do-jun approached me and handed me a small bouquet of flowers. It wasn’t a fancy bouquet wrapped in colorful paper like those sold in flower shops.

“These are shepherd’s purse flowers, aren’t they?”

It was a rough bouquet of shepherd’s purse flowers, hastily tied together at the stems. Shepherd’s purse flowers were common in the fields, but I didn’t expect to see them gathered into a bouquet like this.

Seeing my puzzled expression, Baek Do-jun scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

“I wanted to give you a bouquet earlier… I didn’t expect it to be when we parted ways.”

“…I’m sorry.”

“You don’t have to apologize. Your feelings are yours. It’s my fault for not understanding your heart, even when I was once your fiancé. I’m sorry for only giving you this shabby bouquet.”

“No, I like it.”

After receiving it, it wasn’t until some time later when I searched for the meaning of shepherd purse online that I understood Baek Do-jun’s sincerity behind the bouquet.

Did Baek Do-jun know the meaning of shepherd’s purse flowers? If so, then this small bouquet might have been more fitting for a confession than a farewell.

But since I had chosen Seo Eun-soo, I couldn’t accept Baek Do-jun’s feelings.

“I’ll go. If you ever break up with Seo Eun-soo, give me a chance too.”

“……Are you all cursing me in turns to break me?”

“Leave his(Chan-young’s) aegyo when you get dumped.”

“Aegyos are reserved for lovers!”

As I was about to swing the broom, Baek Do-jun quickly fled in his car. Everyone gave gifts and disappeared like a group of people who had set up a prank and waited for my reaction.

“Do you have something for me too, Joo Tae-kang?”

As I turned my head quickly, I caught Joo Tae-kang who was about to pull something out of his pocket.

“Huh? Uhm…”

“Just give it to me.”

“Ugh, this is not the one. Shit.”

“Shit~?”

“S-Sorry.”

What Joo Tae-kang gave me was fruit syrup. I blinked at the fruit syrup made from strawberries and lemons.

I looked at the note attached, which read “Made by Joo Tae-kang.”

“…Did you make this yourself, Joo Tae-kang?”

“…Yeah. I made it after looking it up on the internet.”

Homemade fruit syrup. Given how our first encounter was the worst, I was pleasantly surprised by this heartfelt and cute gift from him.

“I wanted to give you something even tastier than what I cooked for you before.”

“…Thank you so much.”

Is this okay? I can’t believe I was receiving such a gift when I turned down the offer because I couldn’t accept his feelings.

When he saw my trembling hands, Joo Tae-kang laughed and smiled reassuringly.

“It’s a gift given with the hope of your happiness, so please accept it. And it’s also a bribe for you to come to me if Seo Eun-soo gets tired of you.”

“As expected, I better bring a shovel inside…”

When Seo Eun-soo, who was unable to endure any longer, opened his eyes wide, Joo Tae-kang became frightened and ran away.

“Yoo Yi-seo! Stop being so stubborn! Just give the present and go home!”

Joo Tae-kang shouted it to Yoo Yi-seo as he drove away.

“That idiot.”

Yoo Yi-seo grumbled at him. But then, he took something out of his pocket, handed it to me, and immediately headed out the door.

“…It seemed like a toy, and I found it amusing, so I apologize for showing interest.”

“Huh?”

“If you break up with Seo Eun-soo, contact me too.”

I couldn’t catch Yoo Yi-seo, who quickly got into the car with his long legs, without even giving the chance to get angry.

“…How cute. Hey, could this possibly be a confession?”

What Yoo Yi-seo gave me was a small wooden figurine carved from wood. It depicted a farmer happily holding a shovel and a hoe, but it was clearly a miniature representation of me, meticulously carved down to the dot under my right eye.

‘Honestly, I thought maybe they’d come and challenge Seo Eun-soo to a fight or something.’

Whether it was due to dreams or consideration for me, the alphas each left me a gift before departing. Although they jokingly told me to come find them if things didn’t work out, it felt like a considerate farewell gesture to ease my discomfort, and I felt sorry for that.

I wasn’t sure if we would ever meet again as friends. Thinking about it made me a little sad, imagining how awkward it might be for them to see me after rejecting their confessions.

As I was lost in thought, my lover who emanated the fragrance of flowers pulled me into their arms.

“Chan-young, I’m your lover, but was I someone you couldn’t be satisfied with…?”

“No! Absolutely not!”

When I looked at my beautiful and handsome lover, who was probably the most beautiful person in the world, the fleeting alphas who had left earlier didn’t even cross my mind.

“Really?”

“Yes!”

“In that case… Could you kiss me? To reassure me, and to make sure Chan-young feels loved enough.”

My miraculous lover, whom I met beyond the bounds of the world, shyly blushed and earnestly pleaded with me.

“I’m yours, Chan-young.”

‘Oh my goodness!’

Every inch of my body felt like it would burst into flames like a well-roasted sweet potato in response to that immune phrase.

“I’m sorry for making you anxious! I-I’ll kiss you!”

Although I had no knowledge of kissing, having never experienced it in this life or past lives, I bravely leaned in slowly toward Seo Eun-soo’s lips. Our pheromones mingled, emitting a sweet fragrance.

How, How do you kiss?

Is this how you do it…?

Chuu.

As I timidly pressed my lips against his, Seo Eun-soo let out a soft chuckle.

“That’s not a kiss.”

“Ah…!”

His soft lips eagerly sucked mine in. Opening my mouth, his tongue delved inside, greedily tasting my saliva and stirring up unfamiliar sensations that sent shivers down my spine.

“Ha… Haa…”

“As long as I teach you this, and you teach me about farming, it’s a fair trade, right?”

Once again, our lips met with a gentle touch. It tingled.

“Your face is as red as a ripe tomato.”

“Wait and see… I’ll turn you into a tomato later.”

“I’ll look forward to it.”

On the warm sunlight-drenched sofa, we continued to kiss each other without hesitation.

Looking forward to the next page of our shared tomorrow.
