Trapped In A Novel As The Breeding Mate For Four Powerful Alphas Chapter 299: Then, why let me in?

"Want to find out what’s behind that door?" Seo-Jun asked, bringing in more suspense and my heart raced.

What was behind that door?

But first...

"What did you say you wanted to try?" I asked and he said,

"Sothing lighter." That was all he said before stretching his hand forward towards the door and then it scanned his biotrics.

To think he needed a biotric scanner for the door to open. Just what was in there?

I was getting so anxious with curiosity even when I was already at the point of going in.

I was probably scared that soone would suddenly interrupt us and I would miss my chance of seeing what was in it.

That’s how it always goes, you know.

They always ruin the fun with their sudden ergency call or a ’oh, I didn’t know you were busy. I’ll co back later.’ Why didn’t you just co back later altogether and not ruin the important mont?

Okay, let’s calm down. There has been no interruption and the door was opening.

"Do you want to know what I do inside this room?" He asked and I looked back at him.

That’s precisely what I was curious about.

"It’s nothing grand, actually, since I never really let anyone in here." He said and before I knew it, he shoved inside as if I would run if I ca to a sudden realization.

Luckily, I didn’t fall. I stumbled a bit, but was able to stay on my feet, and then I raised my head.

The room was red, with no windows, and the lights were red as well. And do you know what filled this big red room? Bookshelves.

Ah, it was a wonder that soone who owned such a huge library in his mansion didn’t have such books in his workplace.

There were shelves in each corner and they were all filled with books.

Seeing this, I felt relieved.

But aside from the books, there was a big bed in the middle, also with red sheets.

What was with him and red?

Anyway, I could assu he lay on the bed with a book in hand to read, but how could he read in such a red ambiance?

"White light." Seo-Jun suddenly said and the lights changed to white.

It pierced my eyes a bit, causing to squint, but once I opened my eyes well, I saw that it was all good.

"The red light turns on when I leave and stays like that till I change it back to white." He explained, walking towards . "I can’t possibly read with red lights. That would just be ruining my eyes."

Jeez, I thought sohow your red eyes could see properly in red light but I guess I was wrong.

That was the kind of thing my expression was saying to him while wondering why he needed to shove inside if there was nothing dangerous.

"You read in here," I said, shoving my fingers through my hair. "I guess that’s why you said you never let anyone in here."

"That’s right." He said, going to one of the bookshelves. "Can’t afford soone being careless with my babies."

Aw, how adorably book crazy of you.

"Then, why let in?" I asked, folding my arms.

"Why not?" He asked, turning his head to smile at .

"You don’t want to let anyone in, I assu I’m part of that equation," I said to him but he simply smiled and looked away.

"Who are you to then?" He suddenly asked a bizarre question.

"Excuse ?"

"Who are you to , Jo-Pil?" He asked and then faced completely. "I wanted to ask that after seeing the commotion you made on the lower floor. You were on fire, I’d say. And you made it perfectly clear that unlike the sea of people who flock around and want sothing from , you’re different. So, I’d like to hear it straight from your mouth." He stepped closer and got to , wrapping his arm around my waist and shoving his finger through my hair as if it prevented him from seeing my face or hearing my response.

My heart raced.

Now, this position was kind of hot. And it was in such a lovely atmosphere.

He was asking who I was to him? Who do I consider myself to be in his life?

"I..." I have to answer this question as carefully as possible. But then, instead of caution, I was suddenly filled with a little bit of arrogance. I smiled. "I’m Hwang Jo-Pil. I’m soone you can trust and... Soone who trusts you. I’m your special soone."

That answer sounded a bit flippant but let’s go with that.

If I were asked this question another day, I don’t know what I would say. If it were the sa thing or sothing completely different. But... I know what it is that this man wants... Beside my body.

I reached my hand towards his face, stroked his cheek a bit, and then smiled.

"I’m soone who can lend a shoulder to you and give you a listening ear without judging." Not to your face at least. "And... If you let ..." I pursed my lips, wondering if this was the best choice of words at the mont. "I can be your safe haven, Sun Seo-Jun."

But I ant it.

I wanted to be his haven. An arm he can hold, a shoulder he can lean on, and an ear he can speak all his worries to. I wanted to be that person to my masters. Soone who would never let them down.

Seo-Jun looked at with widened eyes and then I heard him gulp saliva down his throat. It was loud enough for to hear since our surroundings were so silent.

"Ah, Hwang Jo-Pil," he called and I could feel how startled he was. Not just in his widened eyes but in his breaking voice. With his free hand, he reached for and caressed my cheek. "Just... Why are you only coming now?" He asked and then bowed his head, dropping it on my shoulder as regret welled up in his heart. "Why..." I could feel his hands trembling as he tightened his grip around my waist. "Why did you only co into my life this late?"

I had no idea what he was regretting about or what his lant was most centered around, but I could feel it.

A sense of wasted urgency ca from this man holding on to and trembling like a baby calf trying to stand on its feet.

This... Was not what I had in mind.
