This led him to contemplate.
What could he offer her?
‘Should I introduce her to a girlfriend?’
‘How?’
‘I’ll find one.’
‘By searching? Can you just find one that way?’
‘If I decide to, I can do anything.’
‘…….’
‘I’m just getting a friend for you. It’s not even a task.’
And San had intended to keep the promise he made that day.
In truth, he hadn’t had much interaction with others throughout his life, so introducing someone was a new experience for him.
Especially, the person he was introducing today was the only one he had ever interacted with.
Though she was quite different from Kang, he thought she wouldn’t dislike Jane since she seemed fond of her.
He hoped they would become good friends.
All he could do was hope.
There was one more thing.
Today, he planned to share the truth with Kang that he hadn’t been able to tell her.
His change of heart about what he once deemed pointless was because of her words,
‘I’ve enjoyed so much from meeting you. Thank you.’
He checked his wristwatch.
The night promised to be long.
When San returned to Kang’s place, she hadn’t yet dried her wet hair.
She seemed to have been in a hurry.
With a towel draped over her head, she came and sat next to San on the sofa.
Then she leaned closer, eyes sparkling.
Her damp hair gave off a sweet scent.
It must be the fragrance of her shampoo or body wash.
It was a floral scent Kang always used, and he was familiar with it.
But today, it felt overpowering. San almost plugged his nose.
Just as she was about to speak,
“You know……”
He quickly reached out.
Then, gently pinching her soft cheek, he said,
“Dry your hair first, or you’ll catch a cold.”
“It’s almost dry. Can’t we talk first?”
“Once your hair is completely dry. Then, I’ll answer all your questions.”
Watching the adeptly persuasive San, she pouted.
With a defeated stance, she got up. Observing her retreating figure, San let out a sigh of relief.
His brow furrowed, and he heaved a shallow sigh.
‘……Why am I like this?’
Looking at her after her shower, his senses seemed distorted.
It felt as though he was facing something that excited him, like the scent of terror Kang emits when experiencing a terrible nightmare.
Right now, she wasn’t sleeping or dreaming.
And she wasn’t in an extreme state of fear either. Why then, did he feel this way?
Over a mere soap scent?
A little later,
Kang returned, having completely dried her hair and meticulously applied lotion.
“All done? My hair’s dry, and I even applied lotion.”
She gestured, brushing her hair with her fingers to show him. The fragrance he had noticed earlier wafted even stronger towards him.
San felt another strange shift in his mood and tensed his jaw.
It was bewildering.
For a Mongoose, the most stimulating scent was that of a human’s fear at its peak. He could never have dreamed that the scent of a mere shampoo, which previously evoked no emotion, would now agitate him so much.
‘Is something wrong with my body?’
It wasn’t unreasonable for him to think that.
Otherwise, there was no explanation for his heightened reaction to the mere artificial scent of a chemical product.
He too had used perfumes since blending into the human world.
But he had never found any scent particularly appealing.
Even amidst the full bloom of spring, with its myriad of floral scents, he remained unimpressed.
Yet the scent of shampoo or soap from her was stimulating enough to make his senses go on high alert.
So, without even realizing, he kept,
“……”
Closing the distance between them.
“Why… are you acting like this?”
Kang blinked, staring at San, who continued to look at her without a word. His gaze seemed dazed, almost drunk.
Suddenly, San leaned in and nuzzled his nose against her neck.
She didn’t have a chance to move away; everything happened so quickly.
With her eyes wide open, half-lying on the sofa, she rested her hand on San’s shoulder as he draped himself over her.
San, feeling her trying to push him away, calmly gripped her wrist and took a deep breath.
Despite his unhurried demeanor, there was a burning desire within him, as if he wanted to taste her skin right away.
It was a completely different kind of urge than when a lower Mongoose wanted to take her life.
Having discovered the source of the intoxicating scent that drove him to the brink, San slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
“Ah. So it was this.”
It was a murmured realization.
“What was?”
Upon Kang’s question, San’s laughter, light as the wind, fell upon her neck.
“It wasn’t the scent of the shampoo.”
“……”
“I just really liked your natural scent.”
With a grin that suggested he was delightfully tipsy, the corners of his mouth turned dangerously upwards.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
