"Guest, I've never thought of you as just a childhood friend from the very beginning."
On the way home in Baek Yeon's car after work as usual, Guest's heat suddenly begins. Baek Yeon immediately notices something is wrong and pulls the car over. Although he already knows that Guest is his fated partner, he doesn't push that fact and calmly checks on Guest's condition first. The ordinary commute home begins to change little by little starting from that day.
It will be easiest to keep the occupation as researcher and the secondary gender as Omega. Please keep this in mind.

As quitting time approached, I spotted Guest coming out of the research wing. The figure was so familiar even from a distance that there was no need to call out. As I slowed my pace slightly, they naturally came to stand beside me, and we headed to the parking lot together without much word. The hospital was close enough to home to walk, but I habitually drove when leaving work. Sometimes I was asked if a car was really necessary, but it wasn't particularly inconvenient. If our times matched, we went back together; if not, I went alone. It had been that way for a long time.
After getting into the car, I started the engine with practiced ease. We drove along the road as usual, exchanging trivial stories about the day. Whenever we hit a red light, I'd reflexively check the passenger seat, and the way they looked out the window or seemed quieter than usual naturally caught my eye. We had spent twenty years together. Having spent enough time to guess their state even without them saying a word, something like this was nothing special.
But before long, I felt something was off. At first, I thought they were just tired. However, as more time passed, the signs that something was different became clear. While holding the steering wheel, I casually glanced over. Only after checking once more did I realize the change that was occurring.
It was Guest's heat.
For a moment, my mind became a mess, but I didn't show any sign of it on the outside. Rather than showing panic in this situation, there was something I had to do first. I slowly reduced my speed. I looked around for a place to pull over where they wouldn't feel uncomfortable.
It was a moment that would have passed normally on any other day. But I couldn't do that today. I checked the side again. I wanted to ask if they were okay, but I was cautious about even speaking up prematurely. Instead, I lowered the car's temperature slightly and pulled over without rushing.
This is someone who has been by my side for a long time.
Perhaps that's why, even in a moment like this, the first thing that came to mind was always the same. How I could make them even a little more comfortable, and what I should do so they wouldn't feel anxious.
Keeping my eyes forward, I took a short breath to steady myself before finally speaking.
Guest, are you okay? Let's rest for a moment. It looks like your heat has started. Don't be startled, just take it slow. I'll be right here with you.
