Chapter 46 - Extra (5)
“How could you not think of appearing on the show? Just wait, the moment we air, the whole world will be in awe. Having such an adorable daughter—you won’t regret this decision.”At Jo PD’s confident assertion, Suhan shook his head in disbelief. Always the exaggerations. As the production team gradually updated them on the process, the filming date quickly approached.“Alright, Yeonseo-ssi, we’ll start with you waking Suyeon up naturally. Cameras ready!”Thankfully, the main PD, Sangbok, was an expert at working with children. Before joining STV, he had long experience producing parenting shows and children’s programs, allowing him to capture the best footage without stressing the baby. The real challenge, however, was Yeonseo. As Suhan had somewhat anticipated, Yeonseo struggled with the unfamiliarity of being on camera, constantly glancing at the lens and causing repeated takes.“Yeonseo-ssi~ Please don’t look at the camera; focus on Suyeon. You seem a bit too aware of the cameras, so try to relax a little.”For Yeonseo, cameras had always been tools for taking commemorative photos. Naturally, he thought one should look at the lens during a shoot. While he understood he needed to act naturally without acknowledging the camera, his gaze inevitably drifted back to it.“Ah, sorry about that.”Realizing his mistake, Yeonseo’s face flushed bright red. While any accidental camera glances could be edited out, his noticeably reddened face became a small but unavoidable flaw in the footage, leading to frequent pauses in filming until the redness subsided. Yeonseo quickly realized that this job was far more challenging than he had anticipated.* * *“So this is why Suhan-hyung was so adamant about Suyeon not becoming a celebrity,” Yeonseo thought. Sure, he might eventually adapt with experience, but for now, his limitations felt glaringly obvious.“Alright, let’s shoot again! Ready~!”By the time they wrapped up the first day’s shoot, it had taken nearly 10 hours. Yeonseo had remade Suyeon’s baby food four separate times. The first attempt failed because the food looked unappetizing on camera, the second because they forgot to feature the PPL product prominently, and the third because Yeonseo unconsciously glanced at the camera again. Most mistakes, in retrospect, were his own doing.“I’m so sorry… I keep messing things up,” Yeonseo apologized profusely, embarrassed to the point of wanting to crawl into a hole.The PD and crew, however, laughed it off to ease the tension.“No worries at all! Everyone struggles on their first shoot. You wouldn’t believe how many first-timers make similar mistakes, so don’t stress too much.”“And Suyeon was so calm that we actually saved time elsewhere. Really, don’t worry about it.”In truth, while it wasn’t common for the parent to cause more trouble than the baby, the crew had no complaints. They’d captured plenty of good material. Plus, among all the non-celebrity spouses they’d featured, Yeonseo was a visual standout. Unlike past participants who had minor local beauty contest wins or part-time modeling gigs in their background, Yeonseo’s stunning looks drew admiration from the entire crew.“Imagine how beautiful their daughter will grow up to be—everyone’s saying the same thing!”Even if Suyeon resembled Yeonseo more now, Suhan’s sharp features meant that, either way, Suyeon would grow into a striking adult.* * *Finally, after Suhan finished work and returned home, joining the shoot just in time for the wrap-up, the crew began to pack up. With the house to themselves again, Yeonseo dashed toward Suhan, nearly in tears. Suhan, as if expecting it, greeted him with a gentle, knowing smile.“I warned you, didn’t I? It’d be tougher than you think.”Yeonseo buried his face against Suhan’s neck, leaning into him for comfort.“I didn’t know it’d be this hard. Hyung, is this what you go through all the time?”Suhan chuckled, feeling Yeonseo’s cheek, nose, and eyes pressing against his collar.“Worse. Imagine dozens of competitors glaring at you, four or five cameras rolling non-stop, and an audience of hundreds watching. Some days, I even had to choke down awful food I’d made all day.”Appearing on broadcasts had undeniably played a significant role in boosting Suhan’s value. Moreover, evaluating others suited his aptitude well, and he enjoyed it to some degree. However, it was also a deeply stressful task. Receiving public backlash as a sharp-tongued critic was bearable—it wasn’t that it didn’t affect him, but the physical stress of filming days far surpassed it. Suhan had endured this nerve-wracking process countless times. It was no wonder that other judges often left the show citing ailments like alopecia or gastric issues.Yeonseo, who thought he had braced himself for the challenges of filming, realized how naive he had been the moment he saw Suhan. Everyone in the house—except for Suyeon, who couldn’t even speak yet—was a stranger, which had initially made Yeonseo feel self-conscious. On top of that, he’d made mistake after mistake, making the day an exhausting ordeal. Thinking about how much harder Suhan’s previous experiences must have been made Yeonseo feel ashamed for complaining so childishly. Suhan, who could tell exactly what was going through Yeonseo’s mind, smiled and patted his shoulder.“Don’t worry too much. They’re used to working with first-time participants like you. They were prepared for this.”Hearing Suhan echo what the staff had said earlier, word for word, Yeonseo finally gave in and hugged him, sniffling like a child. From Suhan, there came that familiar, comforting pheromone scent. Yeonseo buried his face in Suhan’s neck and inhaled deeply. The calming scent of his Alpha instantly washed away his gloom. Just as he was lost in the soothing pheromones, Suhan called out to him.“How did Suyeon do with her baby food today? She was so excited to start solids and reduce formula.”Despite the exhausting day, Suhan couldn’t resist inquiring about their daughter’s progress after hearing the staff talk about it. Yeonseo snapped out of his daze and eagerly replied.“Oh! Yes, she loved it! She ate the whole bowl and even wanted more. I had to stop her because she kept asking for more!”In an instant, Yeonseo switched to doting parent mode, excitedly recounting how adorable and courageous Suyeon had been. He even mentioned how the staff, some of whom had children, remarked they had never seen a baby take to solid food so eagerly. Yeonseo gleefully started on his theory of “Suyeon the genius” once again.“Well, she is our daughter. As long as it isn’t burnt rice, she’d probably eat just about anything,” Suhan quipped nonchalantly.* * *“Babababa!”Before long, Suyeon, who had woken up from her nap, began looking for her dads, bringing their emotional reunion to an end. There was still another day of filming left, but Suhan felt confident things would go smoothly since he’d be joining tomorrow.However, the real challenge came the next day.“Wow….”The destination was a department store near their residence. To promote a newly revamped food section featuring a pop-up infant food corner, Suhan and Yeonseo’s experience was being filmed for broadcast in collaboration with Seosang Group. The problem arose when the department store underestimated the crowd size. The building became overcrowded, and word spread that a celebrity was filming, attracting even more curious onlookers who blocked pathways to take pictures.“Is he a rookie actor? He’s so handsome….”People unfamiliar with cooking shows failed to recognize Suhan but assumed Yeonseo was an actor due to his striking appearance. Some even stopped to take pictures, further delaying the shoot. Eventually, store management had to intervene to control the crowd. While the filming was expedited to minimize disruption, Yeonseo was utterly drained by the end.“Are you okay?”In the car ride home, Suhan glanced at Yeonseo with concern. Yeonseo quickly shook his head.“I’m fine! Just a bit tired—it’s nothing to worry about.”That was reassuring, but Suhan wasn’t feeling great himself. For the past week, he’d been feeling chills, and by the time the shoot ended, he felt like he was running a fever. A staff member had even asked mid-shoot if he was feeling unwell. Both Suhan and Yeonseo, visibly flushed from exhaustion, seemed equally worn out.“Let’s go home and get some rest. We’ll feed Suyeon her formula and go straight to bed.”Despite turning on the heated seat, Suhan couldn’t shake the cold. All he wanted was to shower and sleep. However, as they arrived home, Suhan realized something was off. The sweet scent filling the house wasn’t just from formula. Remembering the staff’s earlier odd glances, Suhan suddenly understood.His face turned bright red. At that moment, he felt it—a warm sensation trickling down, brushing against his sensitive skin.Suhan realized that the persistent chill he had felt over the past few weeks wasn’t a health issue—it was something entirely different. Overwhelmed by embarrassment, he stumbled slightly.“Ah, are you okay, hyung?”Yeonseo, who had just finished changing Suyeon into her pajamas and putting her on the bed, quickly ran over to him. Suhan’s realization that he’d likely been emitting pheromones for a while now made his vision go blank with shame. It had been long enough since the birth that it wasn’t surprising for his heat to return, but the thought that Yeonseo had noticed and said nothing made his frustration boil over.“Did you know I’ve been giving off pheromones?” Suhan demanded accusingly.Yeonseo’s eyes went wide. “I… I didn’t know. I thought it was just the baby products… I just thought it smelled nice….”Now aware, Yeonseo could feel the intense alpha pheromones radiating from Suhan. Realizing how obvious it was, Yeonseo felt embarrassed about missing it earlier. But seeing how flustered Yeonseo was, Suhan let out a dry laugh.“How did we not notice? We basically walked around announcing, ‘Hey, everyone! We’re in heat!’”Suhan brushed his hand over his face, letting out a long sigh. For a moment, he marveled at how tired he had been just earlier, only for that exhaustion to vanish now. He grabbed Yeonseo by the wrist and dragged him to his room, which had gone unused for months. He figured they couldn’t stay in the same room as Suyeon while both of them were practically radiating pheromones.Suhan pushed Yeonseo onto the bed, leaving Yeonseo looking up at him, startled.“Wait…,” Yeonseo stammered.But stopping now was out of the question. The desire Suhan had suppressed for so long was pouring out all at once.“Take it off,” Suhan ordered, his voice low. “You’re practically dripping in pheromones.”He peeled off his jacket and tossed it aside, his fitted inner shirt following quickly. His toned, lean body was a testament to the effort he had put into regaining his strength after the pregnancy. Suhan moved as if he would climb on top of Yeonseo, who suddenly sat up, his face red with worry.“I-I’m not saying no! But… condoms! We need condoms! If we don’t use them, you could get pregnant again!”Suhan froze. He had almost snapped back with a dismissive “Who cares?” but caught himself just in time. As much as he wanted nothing between them, the consequences would be too much to handle. With a deep breath, he fought back the wave of instinct and asked, “Do we have any here?”Yeonseo, his face now bright red, hesitated before answering. “Th-there are some… in the bedroom drawer….”Suhan blinked in surprise before bursting into laughter. Of all the things Yeonseo could have prepared, this was not what he expected.“When did you sneak those in? You little rascal…” Suhan teased, though his lips curled into a satisfied smirk.Yeonseo covered his face with one hand and mumbled, “I just thought… you didn’t seem interested, but I… I wanted to be ready, just in case….”Suhan let out a disbelieving laugh. “You thought I wasn’t interested? I thought you were too busy taking care of the baby to think about anything else!”“What?”Yeonseo was also surprised and shocked, asking back.“Before, you wanted to do it as soon as you got home, almost every day….”“Still, there’s a limit. After taking care of the kid all day, you want me to relieve your fatigue first?”Yeonseo blushed at the explicit sentence, but he liked it. If this was a dream, he didn’t want to wake up. But he had to wake up to see Suyeon. Yeonseo quickly regained his composure before getting more involved. He then used all his self-control to lay Suhan back on the bed and got up.“……I, I’ll go get it quickly!”Worried about making a noise and waking Suyeon, Yeonseo cautiously entered the main bedroom. Fortunately, the cute daughter was deeply asleep, making soft breathing sounds. Yeonseo hurriedly grabbed a condom and rushed to Suhan’s room. This was his first time using one properly.“If it’s too uncomfortable, let me know. If you feel like you’re going to come, I’ll help you.”When Suhan suggested this, Yeonseo immediately shook his head.“It’s okay…! Next time, I’ll take the pill beforehand….”However, Yeonseo couldn’t finish his sentence. While waiting for Yeonseo, Suhan had been touching himself and fingering his hole, and his patience had run out. As he slowly started to take Yeonseo’s cock, which was awkwardly covered by the condom, a clear fluid gushed out from inside.“Ah….”The tightly closed folds opened one by one, and a thick sensation pushed in. Satisfied with the overwhelming fullness, Suhan wrapped his arms around Yeonseo’s neck.“Ugh….The hole was tighter than before, perhaps because it wasn’t as prepared, or maybe because he hadn’t even masturbated lately. Yeonseo moaned as the tight grip made his lips part.“Please, pull out a little….”Yeonseo felt a slight sense of crisis, thinking he might come after just a few thrusts. He kissed Suhan, who willingly opened his lips, allowing a soft, warm tongue to enter. A sweet, intoxicating pheromone filled his mouth, making him want to feel more of this pleasure.“I’m trying… ugh….”Suhan slowly lowered his hips to take Yeonseo’s cock deeper, moving his hips up and down. The thick, soft inner walls squeezed Yeonseo’s cock, taking it in deeper. Even though only half of it was inside, the pressure on the prostate made Suhan’s cock twitch and stand upright. Yeonseo looked down at Suhan’s lower abdomen and said,“Look at this? Your cock is already twitching like crazy….”Just as he said, Suhan’s cock was throbbing, ready to come at any moment, reacting to the pleasure from his hole. The sight of his body, so aroused just from being penetrated, was incredibly endearing.“If you know, then hurry up and fuck me properly. I can’t stand the teasing.”Instead of turning his head in embarrassment, Suhan kissed Yeonseo’s lips again. How could someone so sexy be the partner who gave birth to his child and the one he had loved all his life? Yeonseo felt so happy that his eyes welled up, but he held back the tears. He wrapped his hands around Suhan’s waist and slowly started to thrust.“Ah…!”Finally, the thick head pressed deep inside, and Suhan came, tightening his hole and ejaculating into the air. The semen splattered, staining his abs. Yeonseo watched in awe and laughed, gently bumping his forehead against Suhan’s.“Ha, you’re so sexy… coming just from being fucked….”Instead of arguing, Suhan lightly bit Yeonseo’s lip, closed his eyes, and slowly moved his hips. The sensitive inner walls, still trembling from the recent orgasm, squeezed Yeonseo’s cock. The intense stimulation made Yeonseo grimace, trying to hold back his own orgasm. Suhan looked up at him and smiled.“You also want to come just from being squeezed.”That was true. Yeonseo’s heart raced at the blatant provocation. His omega, the one he loved the most, was so sexy. He wanted to impregnate him again, but he knew he shouldn’t. He didn’t want him to suffer. Yeonseo suppressed his alpha instincts and decided to please Suhan instead.“You don’t know, really….”You don’t know how much I love you. And how much I’ve wanted you. I could barely dare to touch you, so I just watched you from afar. And now, you’re moving your hips beneath me. Even with our child, whom you impregnated, sleeping in the main bedroom. It’s a happiness I couldn’t have imagined years ago. Just as Suhan was about to get emotional, he kissed Yeonseo to stop his nonsense. Below, the wet flesh rubbed vigorously, and the lewd sound of flesh slapping against flesh echoed loudly. With a thud, his angry cock slapped against his smooth belly, and in that moment, Suhan closed his eyes tightly, overwhelmed by pleasure again. The act of pressing their bodies together, exposing each other’s weaknesses, was not just obscene but downright vulgar. And to think that just having a cock inside him made him squirm and struggle to take it deeper was truly shameful.But Yeonseo didn’t mind any of these dirty acts. Far from being disgusted, he was excited. This man, who seemed incapable of doing anything wrong, was letting out all his dark desires and fulfilling his most primal needs, and it was incredibly satisfying. The veins bulging on his cock scraping against the inner walls, the thick head pounding against the deep entrance, all of it felt incredibly good. The primal act of doing this with Yeonseo brought ultimate satisfaction.“Ha, ugh….”Suhan unconsciously moaned as he continued to receive the pleasure Yeonseo was giving him. He wanted to feel Yeonseo’s cock even deeper, so he took a deep breath. The place that had safely held a baby just a few months ago was now throbbing with pleasure. Even though it felt good enough to curl his toes, Suhan had experienced an even more intense sensation. The moment the swollen head pressed firmly inside, blocking the entrance, and a torrent of semen gushed into him like a waterfall. The pleasure he felt then was unmatched, and his body kept yearning for more. Suhan asked Yeonseo, who seemed to be on the verge of coming, grinding his hips gently.“Ha… Jo Yeonseo, can you come inside me?”He had heard that some condoms designed for alphas could safely accommodate the cock even if it swelled due to knotting. Suhan asked hopefully, and Yeonseo blushed as he replied.“……Of course.”“Fuck. Ha. You’re such a shameless bastard.”Yeonseo was incredibly aroused by Suhan’s rare use of profanity.“Does that mean you like it? I, I know….”Then he thrust his hips hard, swelling even more inside Suhan. Soon, the head was completely buried with no room to escape. Yeonseo continued to thrust, pinning Suhan down. Although he couldn’t directly feel or absorb the pheromones seeping through the mucous membranes, just the heat and fullness filling his insides made Suhan’s body tremble with joy. Even after the thrusting stopped, Suhan felt the lingering climax, tightly clenching his stomach. The taste of his alpha’s cock, which he hadn’t felt in a long time, was fantastically indescribable.A month later, the daily life of Lee Suhan and his husband, featured as guest stars, caused a stir across all communities and internet articles. Of course, at first, everyone was curious to see how Lee Suhan would handle taking care of his child, but they were surprised to find that the main focus of the program was not Lee Suhan, but his non-celebrity husband. Why would we watch a non-celebrity, non-broadcaster husband? After a brief moment of disappointment, everyone who saw the husband’s face had the same reaction.[- Lee Suhan should pay more taxes][└ At least 10 times more][└ He’s five years younger and a chaebol heir, but his face is the real deal lolol??????][- Is Lee Suhan good at fighting?][└ He’s really good at arguing][└ If the fight is verbal, he’s a national-level fighter][└ hahaha What can we do if he can’t fight…He’s so charming][└ I think we lost the moment we saw he’s not Lee Suhan… Be happy…][└ He’s been his childhood crush and first love since elementary school…….. This is unfair fck][- Why would anyone be curious about a cooking researcher’s husband as the main feature? STV made a bold choice.][- People who wanted their marriage to be miserable are now in the ER with stomach aches][- How can an alpha have that face <- Shocked onceChildhood first love <- Shocked twiceChaebol heir taking 3 years of parental leave <- Shocked thrice][└ He can afford it since he doesn’t need the money, right?][└ The Seosang Group encourages parental leave, starting with the owner’s family as a model. Even some regular employees have taken more leave.][- Someone I know who works at Seosang said that employees who don’t know the owner’s family just thought he was a quiet, introverted manager who always got teased by his team members. He’s extremely quiet and has a personality that doesn’t clash with others, so everyone was shocked when he announced his marriage to Lee Suhan… They’ve known each other for a long time, but he never showed any signs at work.][└ Lee Suhan, pay more taxes Lee Suhan, pay more taxes Lee Suhan, pay more taxes Lee Suhan, pay more taxes Lee Suhan, pay more taxes][└ I can’t believe someone’s office romance and unrequited love story could be this thrilling……….][- I always wondered who would be able to handle that personality, but sometimes people who seem really gentle have a strong presence that some people find attractive.][└ He’s so kind that he often gets scammed or almost betrayed, but his strong spouse protects him from all that.][└ Ah, that’s it lol][└ ← The type that’s easy to scam and → The reason they haven’t been scammed yet haha]I’m already paying a lot of taxes. Hmph. Suhan snorted and closed the search results. Yeonseo, who had originally intended to show off his daughter but ended up being the center of attention, grumbled that this wasn’t what he wanted. Whatever. People say that marrying you is like saving a few countries from war. Yeonseo got upset at the casually thrown comment.‘You’re the one who’s too good for me! I’m not good at anything….’What are you talking about? It’s amazing that you loved someone who was prickly and insincere for over a decade. Suhan started to tease him but stopped. Besides, saying you’re not good at anything is ridiculous. You’re the best at being handsome, and you’re incredibly skilled in bed. But if I say that, Yeonseo will really explode with embarrassment and run away, so Suhan stopped at just smirking.Work was also stabilizing, and Suyeon was growing up, looking more and more like a little person. If things continue like this, in a year or two, I might be able to take a short break from work again. Of course, if that happens, Yeonseo will… probably have to take a break from work that’s more like retirement. But that’s a worry for another time.‘Suyeon seems to want a sibling.’Suhan, having grown up as an only child, didn’t know what it felt like to have siblings. But if Yeonseo’s happiness from his bond with his brother could be passed on to Suyeon, that wouldn’t be bad. He was also curious about what the second child would look like and how lovable they would be.This was still a plan for the distant future, so Suhan didn’t mention it to Yeonseo and just smiled lightly. Every moment was better because he was with Yeonseo.
