CHAPTER 375: DON’T COMPLAIN TO ME IF YOU SUDDENLY START GETTING PIG FAT ON YOUR FACE

"Remember? You called me your baby last night. So won’t you let me act like one?"

Ahem, so I didn’t expect Min-Cheol to use that against me so slyly. And to think he was crying his eyes out just now.

"That’s alright, that’s alright," I said, patting his back. "My baby or not, if you keep crying, you’ll lose your appetite for breakfast," I said to him and he nodded.

"I’ll stop soon, Hyung. Don’t worry about me." He said that, but how could I not worry when his eyes were rushing like a tap?

"Just let him be," Seo-Jun said and I turned to him. "His tears will dry soon enough. He probably wants you to pet him some more. Such a baby in a grown-up’s shell, tsk."

"Don’t be so proud that you’re an old man." Min-Cheol retorted, but I don’t think he should be trying anything with a tear-filled face.

Well, if they were arguing like this then it meant they were doing fine.

I picked up the phone and stopped the recording. I’ll send this to Jin-Yeok once he’s done with his work so I don’t distract him. And as for Ki-hoon... I suddenly miss him.

The breakfast, which was delayed by our serious conversation, finally rolled in, filling the table, and I picked up my chopsticks, reaching to dig in.

"I asked them to prepare a lot of protein since you’ll need it to build your muscles," Min-Cheol said. It seemed like he did a little research before he went to sleep.

"Thank you, Little Min," I said, looking at the peas and beans and then the meat that looked so delicious and juicy. "I’ll make sure to eat to my fill."

"But don’t eat till you feel like you’re going to burst," Seo-Jun said. "It’s a bad habit, especially since you’ll be exercising afterward."

I puckered my lips in displeasure. It seems I’ll have to tone down my eating habits because it’s getting too much.

But what can I do when there’s so much food and my body seems to burn fat very fast?

"You don’t have to worry," I said, giving a thumbs up with glinting eyes as I stuffed my mouth. "This won’t get in the way of our workout."

Seo-Jun heard this and while he was convinced, given how I never gained weight despite how much I ate daily, he felt it was the right subject for a tease.

"Well, whatever you say," he suddenly pulled my cheek. "But don’t complain to me if you suddenly start getting pig fat on your face."

"Aish, lesh gho!" (Let go) I glared at him. Didn’t he know it was a bad habit to interrupt a person’s meal?

He saw this and laughed.

"Cute,"

I didn’t mind what he said and continued eating. I will tone down on my eating... Eventually. Maybe once I notice that I’ve begun to gain weight with the meals I devour, but till then, let’s just eat to our fill.

After the meal, I went to put on my gym outfit, and by the time the maids were done helping me, Min-Cheol barged in excitedly.

"Hyung, I’m ready." He said.

Wow, he looked so excited. Wait till he does the sit-ups and squats several times and stretches his body in ways he never thought he could.

Oh, wait, he was athletic and had a fit body, so his muscles wouldn’t feel entirely sore.

I was the stiff one and that’s why I felt sore all over.

Thinking of this unfairness, I felt like I could just squat in a corner and draw spirals. It really wasn’t fair that they were born with the perfect body and I was born to be... Weak.

Sigh.

"What’s wrong, Hyung?" Min-Cheol asked, his hands on my shoulders and moving his head from one side to the other to get a good look at me.

"It’s nothing," I said and then he noticed my hair was growing out.

He touched the pointed edges and smiled softly.

"Hyung, your hair’s growing out."

I glanced over my shoulder at him. It looked like he liked the idea of me having long hair.

"What do you think about growing it out? You’ll look really pretty, Hyung."

"That’s the same idea I had," I said to him. "I think long hair will fit me a lot."

And long hair just happens to be suitable to grab during... Ahem... Where is my mind going to right now?

I think I’ve been corrupted.

"How’s your heat coming?" He asked.

"Oh, that? It seems to have stabilized more than before." I said to him. "It doesn’t go out of control and I don’t get unnecessarily horny from the smallest stimulation."

It was a good thing but it made me worry if I was healthy. Wasn’t the heat supposed to have come a while back?

"That’s good," Min-Cheol said. "I asked the doctor about it and he said that in most cases, Alpha Pheromones can delay an Omega’s heat by a long shot. So, maybe spending time with us and receiving our soothing Pheromones helped calm you down."

"Wow, is that it?" I was surprised. I didn’t think it was like that. "Then that means I might not need to go into heat soon,"

"Are you happy?" He asked, seeing my brightened expression and I nodded.

"Yes, I am." Gosh, I was wondering how I was going to deal with four Alphas to make things fair, but this works out great.

I have a lot more time to prepare.

Min-Cheol watched me for a while but then worry filled his face.

"Hyung," he called quietly and I lifted my head to see him looking sad. "You really don’t hate us anymore, right?"

It seemed like he still felt rather unsure.

A little sigh escaped my lips, and I inched closer, stretching my body up with a tiptoe, and kissed his lips.

He was surprised but did not try to prolong it. He simply stared at me and my smile.

"I don’t hate you, Little Min. Believe me,"

"Hyung," he called softly and then leaned in, planning to kiss my lips a bit more intimately this time but Seo-Jun showed up.

"Wow, I waste just a little bit of time and you two are already getting all handsy," he said and I threw my face away, guilty.

Well, it’s his fault for showing up late.

"We were just about to go down," I said, and shifted my eyes to Min-Cheol, who hated that he had been interrupted. "Right, Little Min?"
