Chapter Text
It was a Saturday evening, Kang Yeosang was standing in the middle of the room, talking to another one of his countless sponsors for what felt like the millionth time. He was at the after party of his movie's premiere and he was sure that filming it had been less tiring. He wanted to go home. The lights above him were blinding and making his head ache, just like the murmur of the loud voices that had been surrounding him for hours, same as the hundreds of different mixed scents that almost made him feel dizzy and he hadn’t even drank anything yet. His suit was clinging to his skin with sweat, he couldn't do this anymore.
When the man finally left, he turned to his manager, Jeong Yunho, an alpha who he had known for so long that he was now his friend, with a huff. He looked up at him, with the hope that the other would've finally let him drink, that he was finally done with thanking random CEOs he had never met nor didn't know, but he was wrong. “Come on, I need you to meet another one, he just arrived but he's the most important. Thanks to him we made a lot of profit.” his manager grinned at him. Yeosang rolled his eyes as he crossed his arms. “Fine. But after this, I'm getting a drink.”
Yunho nodded and then led him to the CEO. Yeosang hadn't found any of the scents that had been forced into his nose and lungs for the whole night intriguing, but as they walked he couldn't help but catch one that he happened to enjoy. Sweet tobacco. And he wondered which alpha it belonged to.
They came to a stop a few steps later and Yunho brought him back to the world. Yeosang looked up, and when he did, his breath caught, his question was immediately answered. The handsome man in front of him was the one expelling the captivating scent.
He couldn't help but eye him from head to toe. He noticed his perfectly styled dark brown hair, his round eyes which he immediately found cute, no matter if they belonged to a grown man. He was the same height as him, maybe two or three centimeters taller. And he definitely noticed how well built he was, he could even see the firm muscle bulge beneath his clothes. His mind was already going too far. He even noticed his company's logo on his suit jacket, he figured he worked under Radiant Network, the company that funded the making of his movie, and he wondered how important he was there.
Yunho smiled politely as he introduced them. “Good evening sir. I'm Jeong Yunho, Kang Yeosang’s manager. We were thinking we should show our gratitude in person. We appreciate your hard work significantly. This movie exists only because of you.” that made Yeosang snap out of his thoughts.
The man smiled in return, definitely pleased by those words. “My pleasure. I'm glad I've invested into this movie, it definitely didn't disappoint. And don't thank me, the true star here is right in front of me. You did an amazing job, Kang Yeosang. You were mesmerizing.”
Yeosang swore his heart skipped a beat at the compliment. He had received such comments, and had the exact same conversation over and over since the premiere ended, but hearing it from this man was different, and he couldn't tell why. Even if caught off guard, he still let out a grateful smile. “Thank you, but I wouldn’t have been able to show my full potential if it wasn't for you.”
The alpha's smile grew wider and was ready to share a response, but Yunho beat him to it. “It was very nice meeting you but excuse us, we have many other guests to thank.” he said respectfully, already leading Yeosang away. The other man and his manager only nodded in understanding and let them go.
When they were enough steps away, Yeosang stopped Yunho midtrack. “Just so you know, you took me away from the only man I found interesting tonight.” he groaned. Yunho raised an eyebrow.
“Well, I'm sorry but I can't read into your mind. If you want to talk to him you can simply look for him later, I'm sure he won't leave early.” he tried to reason with a shrug.
Yeosang sighed and let it go, Yunho wasn't wrong after all. His manager then encouraged him with the idea of getting drinks and Yeosang’s mood was finally on top. Yunho was about to lead him to the bar when someone cleared their throat from behind.
Both Yeosang and his manager turned around. In front of them stood a man, who he could instantly tell was an alpha, and he was sure they hadn’t happened to see him during the whole evening, not even at the premiere. Yeosang was confused as to why he would stop them but Yunho didn't look like it, by his expression, Yeosang could tell that he actually recognized him.
Yunho smiled as he always did to important people. “Mr. Cho, I didn't expect to see you here.” he said. Yeosang though, was still confused but he knew that Yunho would explain later.
Mr. Cho smiled in return, but it didn't look warm nor kind, more like a confident one. Yeosang didn’t like this man already. He was thankful of not being able to catch his scent too, he was sure it would've bothered him.
Yunho and Mr. Cho shared a few words, he did catch his name being mentioned but he didn't hear anything clear, the only thing he could focus on was the bracelet wrapped around the man's wrist and it had the exact same logo as the man he had met a few minutes earlier. Could they be coworkers? but Yunho didn't warn him about this man.
When Mr. Cho left, Yeosang came back to earth. “Who was that?” he asked his manager with a raised eyebrow.
Yunho shrugged. “No one too important. I'm not sure why he's here to be honest, he wasn't on the guests’ list but he is one of Radiant Network's most trusted business partners, so I suppose he was let in thanks to them. We met the CEO earlier, the one you scolded me about.” he chuckled.
Yeosang's mouth fell open. That man was the CEO of Radiant Network. “And you didn't bother to tell me that he was a CEO?!” he whisper-yelled at his manager. “Come on, I probably looked like a lost puppy. You should've warned me.” he huffed.
Yunho only laughed at him. “You're being dramatic. Choi Jongho isn't like those types of CEOs. Trust me, you're fine.” he reassured the other.
Yeosang sighed as he turned around. “You better be right.” he murmured as he finally made his way to the bar, he truly needed a drink now.
~~
After he got his drink, Yeosang headed outside on the balcony to get some fresh air. Yunho had left him alone for a moment too, saying he needed to greet another guest and that Yeosang didn't need to come, and who was he to insist?
He leaned against the railing as he took a deep breath. He was about to take his first and much awaited sip of the night, when someone spoke from beside him. He recognized the scent immediately.
“Guess both our managers decided to leave work early today.” Choi Jongho said with a small grin, a drink in his hand too. Yeosang’s eyes slightly widened as he turned to look at the man. He couldn't believe he approached him first.
He had to pull himself together. He chuckled automatically and only after did he realize what he had said. What did he mean by our managers? How was Yunho involved? “Oh, mine will be back soon.” he simply said.
Jongho almost laughed. He looked behind his shoulders and pointed with his thumb at the crowd inside. It took a second to Yeosang to spot whatever he was pointing at, but when he did, he sighed and shook his head in disbelief, but he still let out a small smile.
The person Yunho had to greet was Choi Jongho's manager. Yeosang should've noticed that his friend had been caught by the man, but he was too busy searching for the same man in front of him.
“I suppose they did.” he said with a shrug, and he thought that was it. He had never been great at keeping conversations going, but he truly wished he could've shared a few more words with the man.
Jongho seemed to catch his worry. He took a sip of his own drink and glanced back at their managers before speaking again. “Did he drive you here?” he asked. Yeosang was taken aback by the question but let it slide. He nodded.
“Yeah, I fear I'll have to ruin his fun soon.” he sighed, feeling bad for having to disturb his friend.
Jongho grinned, as if he had just gotten what he wanted. “There’s no need to. Let them enjoy themselves. I'll keep you company, and I wouldn't mind giving you a ride.”
And with that Yeosang knew he was doomed. He could already feel his cheeks warming up and his heart picking up speed. He was even ashamed by having such a reaction by such a simple request. He wanted to agree immediately, go home and daydream about this man for the rest of the night, but this party was hosted exactly for him, he couldn't leave just like that, with an alpha who wasn't his manager out of everyone. What would the media say?
“I can't ask that of you. I'll definitely have to stay until late, and I can't keep you that long, I'll just call a taxi or something. Thanks for the offer though.” he declined politely, even if his heart was begging him not to.
But Jongho wasn't known for backing up easily. “Don't worry about it. About anything actually. Spending time with you would only be a pleasure, even if I'd rather we spend it somewhere more…private. No one will speak a word about us leaving, I won't make that happen.” he admitted.
Yeosang was sure he was a blushing mess by now. He couldn't bring himself to turn him down again, not after he was being so specific about what he wanted and Yeosang couldn’t pretend he didn't want the same.
He was grateful for being outside, as he knew that his scent would've stunk up the whole room, he just hoped it wasn't too much for the alpha, he was aware that his lilies could get overwhelming.
“If you put it like that then…how could I refuse?” he said leaning closer, caressing with his fingers the other's arm. Jongho smirked. “Perfect, shall we get going?” he asked as he offered his arm to Yeosang, who gave a slow nod and let the alpha lead him outside.
~~
The ride to Jongho's apartment had been filled with tension and pheromones, as if they were teenagers sneaking away from a party they didn't want to be at. The alpha's hand had been stroking Yeosang's thigh the whole time, as if he was getting impatient. Yeosang almost thought he was about to curse the driver out.
The second they arrived, Jongho pushed the door open and Yeosang didn't even have the time to take off his shoes as Jongho was already pinning him up against the wall, his hands firmly holding the omega’s hips.
Yeosang's breath hitched at the harsh movement but he couldn't complain. He could feel Jongho's warmth by how close they were, and he knew his own body was burning up at this point, he had waited the whole night for this.
Jongho's mouth clashed hard against his not even a second after. The kiss wasn't sweet nor slow, it was rough, hungry and bold. Yeosang's hands instinctively shot up to grab at Jongho's neck, while the other kept him perfectly still.
The room that was initially filled with alpha's pheromones, sweet tobacco to be exact, was now mixed with the sweetness of Yeosang's lilies and it was driving them both insane.
They parted to catch their breaths but Jongho was fast to move downward, trailing wet kisses from his jaw to his neck, but never biting or sucking, as if he didn't want to leave traces. That bothered Yeosang.
"Leave those damn marks." he breathed out as he was still trying to even his breathing. Jongho smirked against his skin and replied by biting down at his collarbone, gaining a high-pitched moan from the other. He didn’t bite hard enough to hurt but enough to leave a bruise.
Yeosang then, pulled Jongho back up and looked at him with pure lust in his eyes. "Bedroom." he demanded between heavy breaths, and Jongho accomplished immediately with a groan coming straight from his chest.
Their lips met once again. Jongho guided him to his bedroom without breaking contact for the shortest moment, as if parting would've killed him. Clothes had been scattered on the way, too.
Soon Yeosang's back hit the soft mattress. This room smelled like the alpha even more, he felt like being drugged. His skin was prickling from anticipation too, he needed everything that this man had to offer. Jongho was on top of him in a second, his mouth and tongue were already wandering down his chest as if they had a mind of their own, leaving Yeosang breathless.
The alpha kept going further down until he came to a stop. He looked up at Yeosang and locked his eyes with his. "May I?" he requested, even if his eyes betrayed him, he looked like a starving man, barely holding himself back.
Yeosang could only manage to nod but that wasn't enough to Jongho. "Use your words." he demanded as he propped himself up on his arms and focused his gaze completely on the omega, admiring him as he still struggled to talk, too taken in the moment.
Yeosang took a shaky breath. "Yes, please..." that was more than enough.
Jongho was back down in the shortest second. His mouth found his inner thigh this time, leaving trails as he went further, teasing, as Yeosang became more vocal, he could already feel his slick forming.
When the alpha decided it was enough, he finally took the throbbing and neglected length into his mouth. He started by swirling his tongue around the tip and Yeosang was already seeing stars, but he refused to come just by a little teasing.
Slowly, Jongho began to take him whole as he started to bob his head up and down in an agonizingly slow pace, making Yeosang almost whine, he was getting impatient.
He almost felt at the edge, ready to tip over, slick pouring down to the soft sheets, but suddenly, he was rudely stripped off that feeling when Jongho pulled away with one last slow lick from the base to the tip. Yeosang groaned out of frustration. "I was so close." he complained and Jongho had the audacity to chuckle.
The alpha just leaned closer and kissed his cheeks then lips as he reached for the drawer in his nightstand, pulling out some condoms and Yeosang forgave him immediately.
Yeosang watched in anticipation as Jongho's finger trailed down his body to his entrance, making his skin tingle. He tensed as he felt the tip of his finger brush and tease the rim, but before going in, Jongho looked up at Yeosang for approval, to which the omega nodded instantly.
Jongho slowly entered the hole, but his finger had gotten in easily, and that wasn't because of the slick. He looked up at Yeosang with a raised eyebrow and the other rolled his eyes. "Don't look at me like that. I was at home and was feeling lonely." he said as his cheeks warmed up even more in embarrassment. He didn’t know why, but he felt like he had to make sure the alpha didn't think he had been with others.
"Jongho." he called out and the man placed his focus on him. "Just put it in, please." and oh he sounded so desperate, he wanted that bed to swallow him whole, but he couldn't stand the teasing anymore.
Jongho grinned as he propped himself up and caged himself between Yeosang's legs. "Are you sure?" he asked, and even if he looked smug, Yeosang knew he was concerned about him too.
Yeosang's gaze dropped between the two of them and his eyes widened when he finally took in Jongho's size, he definitely needed to get more prepped, but he was too stubborn to admit that, so he smirked. "Hurry." and Jongho didn’t need to be told twice.
The alpha quickly wrapped a condom around his length, and then aligned himself with Yeosang's entrance. He still seemed hesitant as he looked at Yeosang with worry, but the omega just hinted him to go on.
Jongho slowly bottomed out and Yeosang hissed as he did, making the other stop immediately. "Hey, everything okay?" he asked as he leaned slightly forward, one hand was against Yeosang's head to support himself, while the other went to cup the omega’s cheek. Yeosang nodded. "Yes, don't worry, you can go on." Jongho wasn’t convinced about that though, but the look in Yeosang's eyes, the want made him listen.
When he was fully in, he waited for Yeosang's sign to start moving, and when it happened, he began to slowly set a pace. Yeosang was soon a mess under him. Every thrust was followed by a loud gasp or moan. And the harsher the thrusts became, the louder Yeosang got.
It felt incredibly good. Yeosang was sure that this had been the best sex he's had in ages. He hadn't leaked so much slick in so long. The feeling was so overwhelming that tears had even started to streak down his cheeks. His scent and Jongho's were mixed so beautifully he could've drowned in them.
The same feeling as before soon came back. He could feel those sparks ignite more and more, and before he knew, his back arched wonderfully as he came with one last moan. Jongho followed right after with a throaty groan as he rode his high.
The alpha pulled out breathless, then dropped down next to Yeosang, one arm still around his waist. Both of them were panting and sweaty but Yeosang couldn’t help but smile. "Damn..."
Jongho chuckled. "Yeah, damn."
The two laughed and stayed like that for a short moment, then, Jongho moved to stand but Yeosang grabbed his arm gently. "Where are you going?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. For some reason he was afraid the alpha was going to leave or even demand the other to go, but he was wrong. "To get cleaned up?" Jongho replied.
Yeosang found himself exhaling and that was enough for him to sink back into the pillows as exhaustion started to take over him.
Jongho had then left to clean himself up and grab a damp towel for the other. When he came back, Yeosang was already half asleep. The alpha gently cleaned the other as much as he could, then, he laid down next to him and wrapped his arm around the other, holding him close.
Yeosang snuggled up into him as if he wanted to absorb all the other's warmth. He took a deep breath through his nose and the sweet tobacco that filled his lungs was more than enough to lull him to sleep.
~~
The next morning Yeosang was awoken by a very annoying alarm that definitely wasn't coming from his phone. Jongho moved with a groan, who was still wrapped around him, and shut the alarm off.
Yeosang just ignored the whole thing and immediately tried to go back to sleep, but Jongho had other plans. He felt the other move and slowly detached himself from him and silently stood up. Yeosang instantly missed his warmth. “Where are you going?” he asked, still sleepy.
Jongho smiled softly at him. “Good morning to you too. I'm sorry, but I have an important meeting that I can't skip. I'll have someone come pick you up later if you want to leave.” he quickly explained as he looked for his clothes scattered around.
Yeosang pouted. “Can't you call in sick or something…” he huffed.
Jongho shook his head. “I'm the CEO, I can't do that.” he said as he headed to the master bathroom to get washed up.
Yeosang could've just gotten back to sleep but he refused to let Jongho leave without a goodbye, so he waited. His mind immediately went back to the night before and to how perfect it all had felt. He hasn’t had such a great experience in so long and he truly hoped that it wasn't going to be the last.
It didn't take long for Jongho to be back, and the sight almost made Yeosang fully hard again. He was wearing one of his usual dark suits, but for some reason he looked ten times hotter than the night before. But he tried to set the thought aside and get horny later.
Jongho approached him as he fixed his watch, then stopped in front of him, next to the bed. “I'm truly sorry I have to leave you like this, but I'll make up for it. I'll have someone pick you up later and we could have lunch together, what do you think?” he asked with genuine hope in his eyes.
Yeosang smiled. “Of course, I'd love to.”
~~
After that date, many more came along and a few weeks later they officialized their relationship, privately for now. Only a few close people were aware, and it was to keep them both safe. But that didn't last long. Paparazzi somehow could always catch something.
One afternoon Jongho got a sudden call from his manager, Song Mingi, a beta and a very close friend of his. Mingi reported to him that a few pictures got leaked, and most of them portrayed him and Yeosang together, looking pretty much in love.
Jongho had been furious, but decided to speak with Yeosang before acting. Eventually, Yeosang suggested they'd just announce it to the public and so they did. Needless to say that Yeosang was soon accused of sleeping with Jongho purely because the man had funded his movie, while Jongho was accused of taking advantage of the beautiful actor.
They never cared about such comments though, not when they had each other. And that was how their relationship kept growing, always more solid. Their feelings kept only intensifying, one year later they decided to officially mark each other and they couldn’t be happier about it.
Three years later Jongho had proposed to Yeosang during their trip to Italy and Yeosang had felt over the moon. And they even decided to have another trip to the same for their honeymoon after the marriage.
Their life definitely wasn't perfect, but they were truly happy and Yeosang wouldn't have changed it for the world.
He was sure that his life was settled, that everything could've only gone better from that moment on, but oh, how wrong he was.
