14 Did Baek-Hyun do this?

The next day was laundry day, so I went around picking up all the dirty clothes.

Baek-Hyun had a few. I picked them up while ignoring him, who sat with his legs stretched out on his bed and reading a book.

He seemed to be too concentrated in his book to care about but I felt his eyes on me a few times. It was awkward but I ignored it.

I went over to Woo-Bin's room, wondering if he left any dirty clothes as well but as soon as I opened the door, I was met with a strong and powerful pheromone.

The basket of clothes in my hand fell as I tried to breathe. It smelled like Baek-Hyun's but I couldn't think straight as to why his scent would be so strong coming from Woo-Bin's room.

"What happened?" Baek-Hyun asked, coming out of his room. And as soon as he saw me, his eyes widened. "You… are you okay?"

I looked up at him. He shouldn't know I can smell pheromones if not he'd kick me out. I shook my head and tried to get up.

"It's nothing." I said but it certainly didn't look like nothing.

Baek-Hyun looked at the room and then at me.

"You… are you… ?"

"I had a little heart attack." I blurted out. "It doesn't occur frequently but when it does, it gets so hard to breathe but forget about it." I bent down to pick up the clothes. "I'm feeling better already."

I walked past him towards the laundry room. I didn't get to pick up Woo-Bin's dirty clothes, if ever there was any and the day went by like that. But I still couldn't put my finger on why Baek-Hyun's smell filled the room so much.

Later, I discovered Baek-Hyun sneaking out of Woo-Bin's room. I wouldn't call it sneaking but he was being suspicious.

As soon as he was gone, I went to the room to see what business he did. Just as I was about to open the room, he caught me.

"What are you doing?" I flinched and turned around.

"Nothing!"

"Nothing?" He walked towards me.

"I mean," my eyes couldn't stay on him as I felt I was already caught but he simply open the door and said,

"You ended up leaving without the laundry, didn't you?" He opened the door and the same strong pheromone that hit me the other day hit me again.

I covered my nose and Baek-Hyun raised an eyebrow.

"Why are you covering your nose?" He asked but I couldn't come up with a decent explanation so I said,

"I smell something vulgar coming from the room." It felt a bit offensive but I couldn't think of anything else.

"Vulgar?"

"Just, let me search for that dirty outfit that's got the room stinking so much. You can go now." I said, hoping he would leave.

I felt extremely uncomfortable with the strong smell of pheromones hitting me and his eyes that kept searching my entire being.

"Don't break anything valuable." He warned and started walking away.

I was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he halted and turned to me.

"By the way," he began.

"Yes?"

"I want to eat something sweet for dinner and something that's made out of pork tenderloin." He said. "I'll head out for a bit so you can keep it in the fridge once you're done."

I simply stared at him as he left. I was still staring at the empty position when he came out dressed heavily against the autumn weather.

He glanced at me shortly before leaving.

"I… I should probably start preparing dinner." I said to myself and looked back at Woo-Bin's opened room.

Honestly, I no longer wanted to think about it. What Baek-Hyun did was his business. But I was sure it was something dirty for him to give off so many pheromones.

I shook my head. This was no time to think.

I covered my nose, it was suffocating, and went in to get Woo-Bin's dirty clothes and just as I suspected, there were a few lying around. I picked them up quickly, unable to bear the harsh smell of pheromones when I stumbled on the waste bin.

"What's this?" I thought I had emptied it two days ago yet here I was, seeing a filled up bin. "Did Baek-Hyun do this?"

I picked up the bin and as soon as I saw what was in it, I gasped, accidentally letting go and its contents messed up the room.

There were used tissues that have been used to clean up semen. I knew it just from a glance.

Baek-Hyun was indeed doing something dirty in Woo-Bin's room and he wasn't even trying to hide it.

'He knew I would come in yet he didn't even think of disposing this. Or did it slip his mind?' I blushed thinking about how much he masturbated for the bin to be so filled. 'He was probably thinking of Woo-Bin while doing it. I'm sure of it.'

I glanced around the room. Other than his smell, the room was filled with Woo-Bin's.

'I knew it. He liked Woo-Bin. Woo-Bin didn't know what he was saying when he said I was the one he liked.'

I quickly took the dirty clothes to the washing machine and came back to dispose of the waste bin.

"Why can't he at least consider that I'm the one taking out the trash!" I muttered. It was as if he was openly showing off that he could let out so much semen from his… I flushed. What was I thinking about again?

I quickly tidied up the room and went out to watch my hand. The fridge had some pork meat so I set out to work.

Since he said he wanted to eat something sweet, I decided to make Tangsuyuk, also known as sweet and sour pork. I also grilled the tenderloin with a bit of alcohol, hoping it would bring out its flavour.

I also made several other side dishes like coconut jasmine rice, black bean noodles, cinnamon apples, salted shrimps, spicy radish salad and mussammari (pickled radish wraps).

I wasn't sure which combination he would like so I cooked them all. He could just leave the rest till a later day if he couldn't finish them.
