Tired Of Living As An Omega Chapter 53
#53
“Why are you making such a proposal just because you overheard other people’s conversations?”
The suggestion of Joo Tae-kang getting rid of pheromones was poison to me. Seong Chan-young was a recessive omega, and as the trait was recessive, it could easily collapse to alpha’s marking pheromones.
‘Even so, I feel reluctant whenever I take inhibitors…….’
When I moved in, I prepared as many inhibitors for Omega as I could, put them in my room drawer, and started taking them when the cycle approached. It was convenient for me because the cycle was automatically calculated and notified in the cell phone set by Seong Chan-young.
‘I really can’t get used to this.’
When I tried to take the inhibitor even a little late, I had a fever all over my body. And it was terrible that the itch spread from the unspeakable part.
Whenever I had a physiological need for alpha, I faithfully swallowed the medicine with water. I was confused about whether to cry or laugh because I could protect my dignity while swallowing.
“It’s not a good situation right now either.”
All of the gongs were alpha groups, so I was very reluctant to be in the same house.
However, as long as the conditions were accepted, they could not be kicked out, and Seo Eun-soo was already using the outside building, so I could not drive him out and send all the alpha in the main house there.
‘That’s rude to Seo Eun-soo.’
And Seo Eun-soo is now an alpha, so there was no great meaning in changing the place of residence. I watered my cute sprouts, which would bring me peace of mind and body under stress.
“Let’s see. Lettuce is growing fast, and perilla leaves will probably take some time to pick.”
The situation was similar for the other vegetables. I thought about planting peppers, cherry tomatoes, and eggplants in the remaining spaces.
“I don’t raise a lot, but I raise as much as I can eat……. I want to grow various kinds.”
I was going to bring the vegetables to Ajumma when they were harvested. There is no plan to sell it, so if you are a lady, you can cook and eat it with all your heart. Then I’ll be happy, too.
‘But if I give it to her, I feel like she’ll cook them and give them back to me…….’
Ajumma didn’t have a grandchild, so she treated me with utmost sincerity, whether I was a substitute for her grandchild. It was no use telling her not to do that.
‘Let’s think about the rest later, and do everything we want to do now.’
Eggplants [1] could be grilled or fried. It is often made into seasoned eggplants, but I didn’t like the mushy texture. If Ajumma cooks for me, I will ask her to avoid seasoned eggplants.
Cherry tomatoes and peppers were not bad vegetables for beginners to try. It is a crop that is sometimes planted in flower beds for children’s education in places such as elementary schools, so it would be great to eat cherry tomatoes as a snack when you grow them, as well as peppers with meat or soy sauce marinated crab.
“All right. Let’s plant more.”
My heart leaped because I would only plant a few. Is this the true taste of farming? As a beginner farmer, I liked everything.
‘What would my parents in the real world say if they saw me?’
Would they say that they’re proud of the farming I’ve been wanting to do? Or could they not forget about their sick son and tell me to go home and rest?
Puck. Puck. I thought blankly as I dug up the ground in the garden with a shovel and sowed the pepper seeds on it first.
‘What’s the point of thinking if I can’t even hear it? Let’s get to work. Work.’
I stepped into the greenhouse, thinking of buying cherry tomato seedlings when I go out later or asking Secretary Choi to bring them.
Maybe because it’s still spring, there was not much difference in temperature inside and outside the greenhouse. The temperature conditions required to grow strawberries are 17 to 18 degrees during the day and around 8 degrees at night, so it will be cooler here in the summer.
“I like automated machines.”
On the screen above the cell phone, information on the growth environment of strawberries was listed. It was good to grow strawberries using smart farm technology.
The original plan was to grow strawberries in an orthodox way at home, but I was already enjoying the automation technology of industrial society under the pretext of doing whatever I wanted because I had the wealth of a villain.
‘Strawberries are a very difficult fruit for beginners to try.’
Strawberries are easy to see in the market and are a familiar fruit, but cultivation was difficult enough that it would be much easier to buy them with money.
I only planted the seedlings, but there was an individual which was already sick, so I swallowed my tears and planted a new seedling there again.
When I made a mound of soil, covered it with vinyl, and saw the strawberry seedlings with pouts in between, I thought I could vaguely understand what my parents’ hearts were like.
“Grow well, boys. I really want to try the strawberries I made and harvested.”
I am going to make jam when I harvest strawberries. Handmade strawberry jam with a 1:1 ratio of sugar and strawberry. With that, I wanted to spread it on bread, mix it with milk, eat strawberry lattes and try various things.
I could feel my anxious face due to Seo Eun-soo and Joo Tae-kang gradually calming down. I checked the facilities of the crops that were running normally, and when I looked back, general was waiting calmly for me.
“General barked to protect me yesterday, didn’t you? Good job. Pretty.”
“Woof!”
I threw dog gum for General, and he rushed in with joy. Watching it, I crouched down not caring where it was. Then, I felt a shadow looming over me.
“You can’t sit anywhere. Sit on this.”
“……I’m fine.”
It was Baek Do-jun. He was holding out a handkerchief to me to spread where I was sitting down. A handkerchief with pretty butterfly embroidery was a waste to lay down to sit on the ground.
“That’s enough. You do it.”
“……Chan-young ah. Why are you doing this even though you’re not feeling well?”
“I don’t know what you’re misunderstanding, but I’m healthy. Why don’t you believe me?”
Baek Do-jun is the same age as Seong Chan-young, so he spoke informally without hesitation. It was even more so because he went to the end and directly contributed to the destruction of Seong Chan-young.
“You don’t have to work today. I’m in a bad mood. The rice seed hasn’t sprouted yet. From tomorrow, I will try to come up with the labor you can do.”
“You’re scary.”
“I told you so.”
The wind blew gently. The straw hat, worn to block out the sun, wiggled. Unlike me, who wore a comfortable top, overall pants, boots, cotton gloves, and arm warmers, Baek Do-jun was dressed as clean as a pictorial.
“You’d better stop wearing those clothes. Unless you want it to be covered with dirt and sweat, throw it away.”
Wearing black slacks and a white shirt was a simple and neat style. Baek Do-jun was wearing shoes on top of that. As expected, this guy, like a young master, didn’t fit the farm even in his outfit.
“Okay. I’ll do that.”
“What I mean is that you, Baek Do-jun, Chae Yoon-chan, Yoo Yi-seo, and Joo Tae-kang will not be able to last long.”
As I was thinking about what to make these guys do, I was leaning toward rice farming and planting fruit trees these days. I was going to make rice farming share the fun of growing my own rice, and I was dreaming of a plan to plant and harvest only three types of fruit trees because my original house had an orchard.
‘It’s really hard to raise fruit trees…….’
Fruit trees that had to be raised against all kinds of pests and diseases were no joke. I wondered if it was the case when I saw my parents and siblings wrestling with fruit trees to finally get desirable fruits, and when I saw the price of fruits soaring as much as the fruits during Chuseok.
Growing fruits meant leading a path of hardship.
Therefore, I had high expectations that it would be a very good means to drop the gongs that keep trying to cling to me.
‘If they can really last long, it’s fine. That means I can harvest fruits with less pain.’
Lastly, I was thinking of growing sweet potatoes, so I thought I would admit it if they endured that far. I don’t know if there is a poisonous species that can withstand them.
“Do you want us to go like that?”
“You don’t? I’m sure you will relate. If you have memories of suffering from me.”
“……that, I know.”
Baek Do-joon put the straw hat back on, which was blown away by the wind. Seeing the brat doing this, I got goosebumps and grimaced.
“I don’t know what made you change like this. If I did this, the old you would have liked it and blushed.”
“People all change. I think it’s just how it is now.”
Why did Seong Chan-young beg for love from these poor alphas? He could choose and meet the good guys, but I don’t understand why.
“Take care of your own lives instead of saying stuff like ‘I’m weird, I must be sick.’ Because I’m the happiest these days.”
After speaking coldly, I left my seat. And added further.
“Don’t do anything to prepare my meal from now on! I’ll never going to let Ajumma make meals for you guys. Do it yourself if you want to eat.”
If you don’t like it, get out.
They’ll leave faster if I put these conditions on it. I looked at Baek Do-jun with a gaze as if I were staring at a leech, and took general home.
Oh, I’m so tired. I’m fine with farming, but what is up with these troublesome people?!
- 1. Same, I don’t like eggplants because of the texture too. Do you guys like eggplants?

I like them sometimes like this one time I had an itallian eggplant dish I really liked but usually I’m not a fan either.
I guess the texture is an acquired taste. haha
i was so scared I wouldn’t be able to read this all summer, I think about this story whenever I go in the garden so I’m so happy I can still see what he’s up to hehe… Eggplants sorta make my tongue numb?? so I don’t eat a lot, but if you bake them till they’re totally soft (sliced, salt and oil, on a sheet pan) then they are pretty hard for me to resist…
Dang, your recipe sounds so tasty. I should try it sometime in the future!
Oh and have fun with your garden endeavors.💝 It’s been a long time since I’ve been to one so I’m really jealous. >.<
I would like to remind Seong Chan-young’s farming plans that he is ALLERGIC TO SHELLFISH! STOP THINKING ABOUT CRAB DISHES YOU’RE GONNA DIE!
On another note the calm conversation he had with Baek Do-joon was nice. I do wish the alphas would leave him alone instead of hanging around his house with lame excuses and just approach him more normally.
I think so too. The conversation he had with Do-jun was really nice and open compared with other alphas. It felt like looking from a fresh perspective after a long time.
Thank you for the translation!!!
