chapter 1

Cale woke up groggy, he didn’t understand why he was feeling anxious. He felt sick and annoyed.

‘It's hot.’

‘I feel sick. Crybaby, you there?’

- I can’t help you but I can alleviate the discomfort.

Pushing himself up, he went to the dinner where he took a seat at the head of the table. Ron walks in holding his breakfast and his morning lemon tea at hand. Whereas Rasheel joins them for this late breakfast, his pillow by his side.

“Rasheel-nim, can I have your pillow?” Cale tilts his head to the side.

“No…” He attempted to decline but Cale’s dejected pout appeared. “No need, I have a better one for you.”

“But I want that.”

“Young Master Cale, it’s not possible,” Ron spoke with a benign smile.

“Please.”

“It's yours to have.” Rasheel gave up trying.

He left the body pillow next to Cale. who seemed content with it. Rasheel applauded himself with a smug after catching a glimpse of Cale's cute, content face. Cale retired to his room with the body pillow and took a nap.

Calling Cale for tea and snacks, Raon flies out to their shared room.

“Human.”

No answer.

He checks their shared bed. There was nobody present.

Raon starts to cry. “Human!”

After hearing Raon's cries, Choi Han leaps through the window to Cale's room. Choi Han picked up Raon and asked.

“Human! Choi Han, Human is missing.” Raon cried.

“Before we act out we should check the farm, Harris Villa and your Black Castle.” Choi Han tried to think rationally for both himself and Raon.

While Choi Han scans Black Castle and the farm, Raon inspects Harris Villa. They head back to Super Rock kitchen where Ron and Beacrox are, knowing that if something happened the two of them would ask for assistance.

“Lemonade Gramps, Human is missing.” Raon panicked while Choi Han clarified, "We look at Harris Village, the Black Castle, and the farm. Not a trace of Cale-nim.”

A problem occurred in Super Rock. What will they do next?

Call everybody and make it their problem.

In the drawing room, Eruhaben, Rosalyn and Mary discussing their next project, Raon enters the room with a troubled face. He was carrying numerous communication devices and started contacting their family and friends.

‘Oh, it was this bad.’

“Human is missing.”

Toonka, still in a state of turmoil and disbelief after Cale's sudden visit, answered first.

- My friend left about 20 minutes ago.

“What did Human do there?”

- He begged for mine and Harol soft clothes.

“Soft clothes?”

Litina, the Queen of the Jungle happened to notice Ten grinning broadly as he approached her. Ten led her to her room, which appeared to have been broken into.

- I apologize to Raon-nim, but someone broke into my room.

"Do you suppose Cale was the one who ransacked you?" Disoriented, Eruhaben enquired.

- A blissful look appears on Ten's face with the recent events, like a pampering father.

Bud and Glenn, who witnessed Cale use a teleport scroll to leave after passing by their rooms, tried talking to him but were disregarded.

- Cale was here.

“What did he do?” Ron demanded, Bud did not notice the hostility answered.

- I'm not sure. He went to our rooms and set off with a teleport scroll in hand.

Glenn checks their rooms while changing topics, talking about the message sent by Queen Jopis.

- Queen Jopis sent a message to us, five minutes ago.

“Why is that relevant to us?” Ron asked, Glenn opened a recording device, Queen Jopis sat there in a stance of noble grace and elegance.

“Someone dares loot my room. What a bold way to fucking lose a head. Fluffy sent them to my room to raid it, quite thrilled with the perpetrator's actions.”

While Queen Jopis glances at him, Fluffy wags their tails and lets out a heartfelt laughter.

Woof, woof~

“Mercenary King, you better solve this fucking mystery. Fluffy is not explained to me, this is the first time he has ignored me. There's something he's keeping from me.” Queen Jopis exhaled with a low sigh.

- That was the message we received prior to returning home.

Fredo, King of Enadable Kingdom, calls Raon after visiting his room where Cale is rummaging through his wardrobe.

- Cale was here rummaging through my wardrobe and stealing my ribbons and ties.

"For what reason did Cale-nim take your ties and ribbons?"

- He is exhibiting distress pheromones. I tried talking to him but he ignored me and after taking what he wanted, he departed.

On the other hand, Cale arrived at the whale territory. He saw Archie who was fleeing from his errand. Archie noticed him, a bit flustered seeing Cale running from his errands, he became a little embarrassed and inquired if he needed assistance.

“Your room, please.”

He proceeded to show Cale his room, who started opening his wardrobe and packing a few of his clothes while humming. Cale orders him to lead him to Witira and Paseton's rooms. Archie leads Cale to their rooms, who proceeds to do the exact thing, and leaves with a teleport scroll. Cale left a stupid-looking Archie, still looking handsome.

Witira and Paseton–who was holding a communication device– asked Archie if he had seen Cale. He answered he left and said that Cale smelled like he was in distress omega.

- Cale left after taking our clothes. According to Archie, Cale smelled like a distressed omega.

“Thank you, Your Highness,” Ron responded on their behalf.

Eruhaben asked Ron and Deruth, who was on the other side of the communication device.

"Is Cale an Omega?"

Ron looks perplexed, and so does Deruth, Violan who sat beside him replied to them.

- We assumed that he was a beta with his muted scent.

“Cale-nim as an omega-“ Choi Han pondered. "That's possible, but aside from the scent of nature, he didn't have any scent or exhibit any pheromones."

“He does have a scent of nature on him because he possessed all five elements.”

“Do you think Archie was lying about Young Master Cale being an omega?” Rosalyn asked her instructor, ‘Archie doesn’t seem to lie about it though.’

“As an alpha and a member of the whale tribe, he isn't lying, they are attuned to pheromones,” Eruhaben answered. “He could be an omega late bloomer."

"He starts drinking because he lost his mother young." Ron sighed slightly in response. "And a war against the Arm and White Star."

“That would make sense, he is a late bloomer. Now he felt at ease and safe enough to be vulnerable and defenceless.”

“Cale-nim most likely was not aware of his distress, he probably believed that gathering people's clothes would help him.”

“Whose room has not been looted?” Eruhaben asked the people on the communication device.

The Henituse family checks their rooms and they all return in front of the communication device. Lily had a charming smile that suited her age.

- Orabani has visited our rooms and made an effort to hide his misdeeds.

“Oh, concealing his wrongdoing.”

‘That sounds so cute.’ They mused.

"How about this place?" Eruhaben questioned residents of Super Rock. They all hurried to their rooms to see what had gone missing.

Choi Han and Rosalyn smiled broadly as they left their room. Choi Han puts on a naive innocent smile. Rosalyn struggles to contain her laughing.

“Cale-nim is adorable.”

“Young Master is so endearing and cute.”

"By closing the clothes cupboards and placing the neatly folded clothes on top, Cale-nim attempted to hide his misdeeds."

“Cale-nim tried to cover up his crimes by closing the clothes cupboards and putting the neatly folded clothes on top.”

“He acts like a small kid who is covering his wrongdoings. So endearing.”

They snicker.

Beacrox and Ron inspect their room. Beacrox noticed the lack of gloves on his nightstand. A small smile sat on his face. He observed his father who left his room smiling with amusement. They shared a thought.

‘Young Master Cale is incredibly cute.’

Eruhaben and Mary join Raon in the drawing room, Mary whose robes look like they're elated. Hong and On joined them last. Eruhaben lets out a heartfelt huff.

“Unlucky bastard took my robes and tried to cover it up.” Mary nods, agreeing with that statement.

“Hannah and Saint Jack's room was also looted, nya~.”

“Lock hyung and his siblings' rooms too, nya~.”

There’s a pleasant feeling that they all let out their happy pheromones, Eruhaben mutes their scents for the kids' sake. Having their clothes on Cale nest is a gift given to them, it lets them know that they are a Cale family.

“Who do you think is next?”

“Probably his hyung.”

“Oh dear, he is at a meeting.”

“He won’t be pleased with my student clothes. He will crash the meeting.” Choi Han answered, knowing that Cale loved to tease Alberu. Cale visits Alberu’s room the most, he smells Alberu’s pheromones regularly in his room. “Cale-nim won’t be satisfied with his clothes.”

‘That's Alberu Crossman's problem.’

“We still need to warn him. Let’s call Tasha.”

Cale stopped by Clopeh's room and took off with the first item he saw. When he goes to see Taylor and Cage, Cage welcomes him and requests to show him to their rooms. She escorted him there without raising any doubts. After stealing their clothing, he exited the building.

Upon arriving in Alberu's room via teleportation, Cale starts packing his hyung-nim pillows. Tasha (who was carrying a communication device that is connected to Super Rock) opens Alberu's room where Cale is there hoarding Alberu's pillows.

Cale is contemplating how to carry Alberu’s blanket so he opts for the next big thing, his hyung’s cape, seeing Tasha standing at Alberu's door.

“Your robe, please.” Tasha presented her robe, and Cale hummed.

“Where’s my hyung-min?”

“At a meeting.”

She gestured for him to follow her, and Cale obliged. Alberu Crossman who was leading the meeting saw his dongsaeng.

“Hyung-nim”

“Yes, my dongsaeng.”

“Your cape, please.”

Alberu cast a sidelong glance at Tasha who gestured to him to comply with Cale’s pleas and double take.

‘What happened?’ Is what his face asked.

‘Do it, nephew.’ Tasha's expression indicates that. “But Cale-”

Cale released his pheromones in displeasure at being dismissed. A sour smell spreads out of the meeting room. It was heavy.

Smelling the distressed air, Alberu let out a sigh and offered up his cape.

“Thank you, my dearest hyung-nim.” Cale preens and takes it, smiling so gently with his eyes curled up. The meeting room was enveloped with the scent of forest mixed with the aroma of freshly baked apple pie.

Taking a teleport scroll, Cale leaves. Alberu, Tasya and the council remain shocked.

The scent of the forest almost made the dark elves nearly pass out, they felt homesick. Cale’s scent was good to resist; the lush scent of a forest with an apple pie on top of it, it was like coming back home where a freshly baked apple pie was waiting for them.

After robbing his friends and family, Cale brings his loot back to the Black Castle. Unaware of the disaster he had created with the two continents, he slept soundly.

Sheritt informs Raon that Cale is sleeping at the Black Castle, and the kids teleport there. They open Cale's room, only to smell the lingering freshly baked apple pie with whipped cream spread, and overpowering the scent of the forest.

Sherrit warned Raon, On and Hong to not bother Cale. He is resting after being in distress for too long. Leaving the kids to find Cale on a large bed under a lovely sunlit, stuffed with various outfits and belongings from family and friends.

After a well-rested nap, he left his nest to go to the kitchen where Beacrox was feeding the kids. The children run to embrace Cale, who welcomes it.

Ron enters the kitchen and gently asks if he is feeling well, Cale nods. Eruhaben asked Cale about his nest.

Cale tilted his head. “Nest?”

“Unlucky bastard, you’re an omega. You unintentionally built a nest out of other people's belongings.”

‘What.’

- Cale, you are finally feeling safe to be vulnerable, that’s what triggers your omega pheromones.

Super Rocks respond.

‘Oh.’

Alberu, who arrived at Super Rock, gently pinches Cale’s cheeks.

“My cute dongsaeng with that stunt you pulled, the entire Roan and neighbourhood now know that their beloved commander is an omega.”

Unbothered, Cale just shrugs.

‘What are they gonna do?’
