Chapter 2

Despite the chilly weather, the person who appeared was noticeable even without make. He draws attention because of his shoulders and height taller than others, and when he glances with his eyes carelessly, he has a heavy and dangerous atmosphere that even he, who has seen him for 10 years, can naturally express admiration.

On days when he dressed up, he looked like a handsome gangster and on days when dressed up properly, he looked like a young executive who landed a job at a large company. Kang Tae-Seo, who had both a bold and serious personality stands out wherever he goes.

The lover, who easily found Yi-Gyeol from afar, smiled brightly, holding up the muffler in his hand. His sharpness and seriousness flew away in an instant, he was familiar with the affectionate face. Despite being together for a long time, Tae-Seo was still not stingy in showing his affection.

“That person…… Kang Tae-Seo? “

Yoo Eun-Jae, who came into the cafe was standing next to Yi-Gyeol and couldn’t sit down. He froze when he saw Kang Tae-Seo. Even to Yoo Eun-Jae, whose memory of last night is blurred, Kang Tae-Seo entering the cafe must have looked like an ideal alpha.

It was surprising that he mistook Yi-Gyeol for an Alpha since he was a little smaller than Yoo Eun-Jae, but far short of Alpha’s basic physical. He felt bitter, thinking that this meant pheromones were absolute after all.

Yoo Eun-Jae is an omega and the only successor to a well-known company abroad. In the original work, he spent the first night with Kang Tae-Seo and they fought each other but eventually got married.

Looking at Tae-Seo’s friendly smile as he entered the cafe, his heart shook.

He just wanted to disappear without the Kang family, even a rat or bird noticing.

And if he could, Yi-Gyeol wanted to hurt Kang Tae-Seo a little, who whispered words of love to him. To the Alpha lover who spent the night with an Omega as expected.

“Yi-Gyeol, you…… What?”

Tae-Seo, who came in with a bright smile, noticed Yoo Eun-Jae behind him and his expression immediately hardened. Then, he strode quickly, but as the distance narrowed, a shallow groan came from Yoo Eun-Jae.

“Ugh..….”

“Oh, that idiot.”

It seemed like he was approaching, emitting a menacing alpha pheromone that he couldn’t sense. He couldn’t sense it, but Yi-Gyeol could guess by looking at Yoo Eun-Jae, whose face was red and shaking

In Kang Tae-Seo’s blind eyes, the beautiful Yoo Eun-Jae seems to be an alpha who is trying to seduce Yi-Gyeol. Even though he knew it could never be, an Alpha’s possessive desire sometimes came up with the worst imagination than reason.

“Ha, your manners are like a really shit… Ugh.”

“Yoo Eun-Jae, are you okay?”

The release of pheromones even in a public place may have been intended as a warning, but for Yoo Eun-Jae, an omega, it was like a temptation and made him dizzy. At the same time as Yi-Gyeol held the arms of the stumbling Yoo Eun-Jae, Tae-Seo grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.

Tae-Seo completely hid Yi-Gyeol behind him and used a sharp voice towards Yoo Eun-Jae.

“I’ve never seen you before.”

“Whoa……remove your pheromones.”

Tae-Seo, who was looking closely at Yoo Eun-Jae, who did not hold back his irritation with a red face, realized that it was only a mistake due to the omega pheromone that flowed out instinctively.

“Excuse me, but Yi-Gyeol doesn’t have any omega friends that I don’t know. Who are you?”

“It’s absolutely ridiculous. no matter how drunk you are, but you really don’t remember a thing?”

Yi-Gyeol agrees with Yoo Eun-Jae’s absurdity. His sweet and heartless lover didn’t even recognize the Omega he spent the night with.

Yoo Eun-Jae was very annoyed, brushed his disheveled bangs and grinded his teeth.

“Ha, it’s terrible that you’re such a rude person. It would have been better if Seon Yi-Gyeol was the person I was looking for.”

“I don’t like changing the subject. If you’re going to go round and round, we will leave.”

When Yi-Gyeol’s name was called by the other person, Tae-Seo immediately sorted out the situation. The fact that they were bickering even when they didn’t know each other is a sign the original work was starting properly.

He expected this day to come, but strangely, Yi-Gyeol kept laughing when it really came. He knew that the situation would be weird if he laughed, so he erased the smile that had been sticking out and pulled out the hand held by Tae-Seo. Even though he only took out his hand, Tae-Seo was restless as if something was wrong and wanted to hold his hand again.

“Did your wrist hurt? I think I controlled my strength well. I’m sorry. Let’s get home and heat it up. If you feel better, shall we go out and have lunch?”

“Kang Tae-Seo.”

Tae-Seo’s sweet smile began to fade as he was called by his last name.

“It must have hurt a lot. I’m terribly sorry. I thought another alpha was approaching you, so I got a little excited…….”

“I’m beta and you’re an Alpha. You know this would happen.”

“So what if I’m Alpha? What’s the point of that?”

Every time this happened, Tae-Seo’s eyes showed such sweet affection that it seemed like honey was literally dripping. So despite the odds, he chose to continue living together. Eventually, it ended up like this.

“He came to see you.”

“Me? Then why are you meeting him?”

“He thought I was you. I smell heavily like your pheromone.”

Tae-Seo, who was smiling proudly, quickly became suspicious. He was satisfied with the pheromones all over Yi-Gyeol, but the person who smelled it and misunderstood his identity was unfamiliar. If he knew Tae-Seo’s pheromone, he would have encountered him at least a few times, so he should be familiar with him.

Only then did Tae-Seo look closely at Yoo Eun-Jae. When Yoo Eun-Jae made eye contact with Yi-Gyeol, he showed an apologetic look, but when Tae-Seo showed caution, he responded with the same haughty appearance as when they first met him.

“Let’s send Seon Yi-Gyeol first before we start the conversation.”

It was Yoo Eun-Jae’s consideration, but Tae-Seo, who had no idea of the situation, grabbed Yi-Gyeol’s wrist. This time he held it more carefully than before.

Yoo Eun-Jae didn’t say anything out of consideration, but Kang Tae-Seo drank so much that he completely forgot what happened last night. It was amazing that he came back to the house based on instinct.

It was up to Yi-Gyeol to detonate the bomb because he didn’t want to pass things over or reach an agreement.

“He’s the one who spent the night with you last night. You may guess, but he is an omega.”

“He is a fraud. Don’t listen to him, Yi-Gyeol.”

There wasn’t a trace of impatient on Tae-Seo’s face. The hand holding his wrist did not exert any strength. When he tried to pull his hand away, he applied a little more force. When Yi-Gyeol tried to pull his hand away, he applied a little force.

“I’m sorry that someone like that approached you. I should have paid more attention. Let’s go home and slowly figure out what happened.”

Tae-Seo, who poured out words to calm Yi-Gyeol’s anxiety with a smile on his face in case he was hurt, gradually hardened and shook with anxiety when Yi-Gyeol looked back at him calmly.

Even though it wasn’t an excuse, Tae-Seo’s words stopped and he only made the situation clear.

“This happened because you had a bad memory because of the heat and alcohol. Originally, it was a problem that you two people should have coordinated and resolved, but by chance, he got involved for a while.”

“It can’t be right. And, even if that’s the case, why did you get involved by chance? Rather, it should be you who get angry and hold me accountable.”

“Why me?”

Tae-Seo’s big body collapsed to the floor at the calm word. Tae-Seo bends his knees without hesitation to humble himself and apologize.

“Sorry for making you say that.”

Tae-Seo did not believe in Yoo Eun-Jae’s existence. He had no idea what happened last night.

“Wake up. What are you doing at someone else’s place of business?”
“I’m so sorry, Yi-Gyeol. I’ll take care of everything.”

Instead of making excuses like he couldn’t remember, Tae-Seo clung to Yi-Gyeol with apologies and pleas.

“So, can you wait a little bit? You can take a nap at home and when you wake up, I’ll handle everything.”

If this were acting, then he is really a great actor. Yi-Gyeol knew, having read the original novel. Tae-Seo doesn’t remember last night.

“Please, Yi-Gyeol. Let’s go back home together, huh?”

Tae-Seo needs to be here with Yoo Eun-Jae. That way, even if he runs away, he won’t be as persistent as before because of his guilt.

“Okay. Instead, you should talk to him calmly.”

“Then you stay with me.”

As if there was nothing he couldn’t say in front of Yi-Gyeol. Yi-Gyeol gave a troubled look to the outspoken Taeseo.

“I am… Even you don’t want to hear anything about your lover cheating on you, do you?”

“It’s not like that. No, even if it is, I will let you know and ask for forgiveness.”

Yi-Gyeol sighed as if he was a little tired. Tae-Seo, who became anxious, grabbed both of his hands.

“Please, Yi-Gyeol.”

“I’ll go on a walk to cool down my head. Let’s talk at home in the evening.”

“You’re coming, aren’t you?”

“Did you ever see me lie to you?”

“……No.”

Whenever he was confessed by Tae-Seo, Yi-Gyeol replied without hesitation that he didn’t love him. As if only telling the truth, he easily uttered painful words and bitter words.

‘It’s okay not to love me.’

‘Just stay by my side, Yi-Gyeol.’

‘Yi-Gyeol-ah, do you still not love me?’

‘It’s okay because I love you.’

‘Yi-Gyeol-Ah, should we get married?’

He has always rejected Kang Tae-Seo’s shower of affection.

Yi-Gyeol’s feelings are different from Tae-Seo. He did not lie, so he won’t expect anything else. He will not. He cannot.

So Tae-Seo thought he couldn’t lie. Even though he’s more of a liar than anyone else.

“They suit each other.”

The two people seen through the large window outside the cafe were as beautiful as a picture and looked good together. After taking one last look, he turned around without hesitation.

It wasn’t until the cafe was out of sight that he finally stopped showing a bitter smile. As soon as he checked that there was no one around him, Yi-Gyel burst into laughter.

“Wow, I’m really scared. Why did he kneel down there? It’s hard to push.”

Despite countless opportunities, he was almost falling for a lover who would cheat on him. However, when the future he knew was completed, Yi-Gyeol came to his senses.

If doesn’t step back from here, he would be killed.

“Is this something that should take 10 years to happen? I really thought I was going to die waiting.”

The one betrayal that he had been waiting for so long went ahead as scheduled.

If it was going to be like this anyway, they shouldn’t have gotten involved from the beginning.

“Let’s run. Let’s do it properly this time.”

It was the end and the day of the new beginning.
