“Then I’ll see you later.”

 

The face of Moon Kyung-sik, smiling with his mouth drawn with eyes full of poison and malice, was bizarre. I felt uneasy because he was like a person wearing a smiling mask.

 

‘Why does he hate me that much?’

 

I couldn’t figure out why. Was he really someone who was burned by Seong Chan-young? Since he’s an alpha and he’s handsome, I don’t think that’s possible……

 

‘But something’s weird.’

 

Seong Chan-young did not chase any alphas. He only met Alpha within the range of his status, background, and appearance. Even when collecting decent alpha like a collector, the relationship was often broken by him getting tired of it quickly.

 

There was no alpha postponing the breakup. On the surface, Seong Chan-young had his fiance, Baek Do-jun. So they didn’t want to clash with him.

 

In fact, other internal circumstances were greater than this reason. Rather than saying that the alphas easily agreed to the breakup, it was fair to say that they weren’t too shaken up since it was a light relationship, and they didn’t even dare to hold on to him because they didn’t want to be hated by the group.

 

With Seong Eun Group behind his back, Seong Chan-young was like a poisoned chalice, so no matter how much wealth you coveted, your life was more important.

 

In addition, the external trait of Seong Chan-young was beta. I wouldn’t know what it’d be like if he were omega, but since he’s beta, they couldn’t even think of using Seong Chan-young to get into the succession structure of the Seong Eun Group. The fact that they did not want to ruin their lives by being stamped by the conservative Chairman Seong also played a part. 

 

Like the above materials, I gave a lot of money when I broke up, so I should say that there is no relationship other than the original ball guys.’

 

The look that he hated sincerely was not a lie. Being likeable and marking seemed like a smokescreen to cover it up.

 

‘In fact, it seems to be quite deliberate.’

 

I felt even more uncomfortable because he seemed to know that Seong Chan-young was born with the body of a recessive omega.

 

‘I better ask Secretary Choi to dig up Moon Kyung-sik’s background.’

 

He was not mentioned in the original at all. I was suspicious of the butterfly effect caused by changing the plot flow.

 

“Chan-young ssi. Are you okay?”

 

While I was frantically listing information about Moon Kyung-sik in my head, Seo Eun-soo’s delicate and tidy features came into view. There were thread veins in the pupils that were as clear as glass beads. His expression was also ferocious.

 

It was as if various dyes had been scattered over the pure white paper. I felt sorry for making him follow me.

 

“I’m okay. More than that, I think Seo Eun-soo might feel very unpleasant…….”

 

“What do you mean by that? Chan-young was in a more dangerous situation than I was.”

 

“I’m really fine. I’m a beta, so I don’t feel pheromones.”

 

This remark was an utter bluff. What do you mean I can’t feel the pheromones? The invisible attack was full of teeth.

 

“Just looking at Chan-young’s body shaking right now, I know that it’s a lie.”

 

I felt something in my body shake as soon as I thought ‘did I?’ The cell phone was not the one vibrating. My body was the one shaking.

 

‘It’s because of that aggressive pheromone.’

 

It seemed difficult to avoid it just by being far away. My mind was fine, but my body was shaking like a scared baby deer, so I felt really disgusted.

 

Even in the midst of this, I was afraid that I would be caught. I hope Seo Eun-soo doesn’t think I am suspicious.

 

‘If caught, Seo Eun-soo might be thrown into the sea by Chairman Seong’s own hand.’

 

I don’t know if it was the gongs, but Seo Eun-soo, a powerless small citizen, could have been thrown as fish food as soon as he noticed the secret.

 

“I can’t let the main shou die because I changed the flow.”

 

I tried to get up on my own. Even if it was Alpha’s pheromone of hostility, the back was damp because it was for marking. It was stupid.

 

I touched my top with the feeling that I shouldn’t get caught. What a relief to wear loose and comfortable material!

 

“It seems marking behavior can be threatening to Beta, too. I was scared like I was in front of a beast……. This must be why traits are important.”

 

“Chan-young ssi.”

 

“If he does that again next time, I’ll have to put him in jail for sexual harassment.”

 

“Chan-young ssi.”

 

I wanted Seo Eun-soo not to notice my condition by talking as much as I could. In this case, I’m so grateful for the state of Seong Chan-young who can’t breathe out pheromones.

 

“……Why not?”

 

“Come here. I’ll help you.”

 

Contrary to my worries, Seo Eun-soo’s warm kindness came out of his mouth.

 

“I can walk on my own.”

 

“Chan-young’s legs are weak and you look like you’re about to collapse. Stop being stubborn and lean on me. Shouldn’t part-timers come forward at times like this?”

 

But I didn’t bring you here to work……. I bit my lips because I felt like I was only in debt to Seo Eun-soo.

 

“I’m really fine,”

 

“I understand if you’re embarrassed because you’re a beta and you feel like you’ve been surrendered to alpha pheromones. If it’s a really high concentration of pheromones, it can also affect beta.”

 

“…….”

 

This is okay?

 

I was grateful to him for creating a hole for me to escape without making any excuses.

 

“So hold my hand.”

 

“Woof woof!”

 

As if he agrees with Seo Eun-soo, General also barked like he was helping. It was a dead end. I reached out to Seo Eun-soo as if I had surrendered.

 

“Then please.”

 

“Yes.”

 

Seo Eun-soo put out his back. I thought he would only help me with his shoulder, but that wasn’t the case.

 

“What?”

 

“Stay still.”

 

Seo Eun-soo bent his knees in front of me, pointing at the back. I hesitated for some reason at the gesture of piggybacking.

 

“Are you going to carry me on your back? I must be heavy.”

 

Prior to the fact that I was carried on his back, I was worried about my sneakers with dirt on them. While riding on his back, Eun-soo’s clean clothes will be stained with soil.

 

And even if he became an alpha, Seo Eun-soo still had a strong impression on me, so I felt awkward to be carried on his back all the way home.

 

Seong Chan-young was never short, a little over the average enough to be deceived by beta. It’s not that I have a lot of flesh, but for Seo Eun-soo, it would be too much to hold an adult man who weighs similar to her.

 

“It’s not heavy. What do you mean by this much?”

 

When I carefully put my hand on Seo Eun-soo’s back, my arm wrapped around Seo Eun-soo’s neck. Both legs fell off the ground and fell into Eun-soo’s hands.

 

Seo Eun-soo fixed his posture as soon as I tried to struggle. I squeezed his shoulders so that I wouldn’t fall off. That was when I saw a wide back.

 

‘Was Seo Eun-soo’s back this wide?”’

 

In the meantime, he seemed to have grown tall after some time. The same goes for the size. The stable ride was amazing.

 

Seo Eun-soo burst into laughter when I inadvertently rubbed his back slightly with my finger.

 

“It tickles.”

 

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

 

“There’s nothing to be sorry about. Then, I’ll go.”

 

“Woof!”

 

The journey on Seo Eun-soo’s back was comfortable. The trembling body gradually relaxed. The unpleasant pheromone disappeared, and the smell of grass, which was always present on the trail, touched the tip of my nose.

 

There was a very faint scent of flowers mixed in there. It was Seo Eun-soo’s pheromone scent.

 

It was different from Moon Kyung-sik’s pheromone, which made me feel sick. The fragrant smell of flowers closed my eyelids.

 

‘I think you’re getting too much favor.’

 

With that thought in mind, I leaned my head on Seo Eun-soo’s back. Sleep poured out. I didn’t want to resist the drowsiness.

 

“Good night, Chan-young ssi.”

 

I thought I heard such a kind word before sleep took over.

 

⚝ ⚝ ⚝

 

When I woke up, it was my room, and next to it was General lying down and falling asleep. When I looked out the window, it was already dark out there.

 

‘I’ve been asleep for hours.’

 

Seeing him lying down neatly, it seemed that Seo Eun-soo had put me on the bed when I was asleep. Instead of the dirty clothes I wore for the walk, clean pajamas were worn.

 

‘He must have called in the hired ladies.’

 

I was surprised for a moment, but I let it slide.

 

Looking at the clock, I haven’t missed dinner yet. Perhaps because of the pheromone attack, I was hungry more today.

 

‘That bastard must be stopped for sure.’

 

“Let’s get up, General. I’m going to eat.”

 

“Woof woof!”

 

I tapped general to get up and went down to the kitchen on the first floor to have dinner with him.

 

“Woah, the smell of kimchi fried rice.”

 

The smell of beef for japchae with a little stir-fried kimchi, potatoes, and soy sauce was strong everywhere. Usually, I often leave the ajummas home and cook dinner myself, but when I muttered that I wanted to eat it today, ajumma said she would prepare dinner with it first, so I said okay.

 

– I can do it though…….

 

– I know you’ve been eating more roughly since the Alpha bachelors came. Secretary Choi told us to pay special attention to your diet, so we have a duty to keep the contract.

 

– But I’m the employer.

 

-I’m just making excuses about Secretary Choi, because I feel like I have to feed you something delicious. So, do you prefer soft-boiled eggs or hard-boiled eggs?

 

-……I like soft-boiled eggs.

 

– Then we’ll prepare it like that. Do you like pancakes, too? I’m going to make chives pancakes with chives, pumpkins, and potatoes.

 

– I can’t eat without it.

 

The menu for dinner was decided as if a serpent had fallen over the wall ^[1] This is a term referring to a person who tries to evade something while doing something without immediately quitting and ending it. . I couldn’t refuse the aunt’s sincere meal preparation, so I eventually decided to enjoy it.

 

‘It smells so good.’

 

My heart was filled when I thought of the kimchi fried rice that would be piled up on the bowl. There was nothing else to envy once you put a little bit of sesame oil and sprinkle sesame seeds on a half-cooked egg fry containing a round yolk that would pop when touched.

 

‘And a pancake too!’

 

It was a fantastic combination with beer. I licked my watering mouth, satisfied that I would be able to eat it until tomorrow morning.

 

“Madam, I’m here to eat…… What?”

 

There was a visitor at the table. There were five alpha males. All of them looking very dissatisfied with their fingers crossed and their jaws raised above them.

 

‘Did I peel too much green onions?’

 

When they were finally about to have hope of going home, Yoo Yi-seo, who sat in the center, asked me fiercely with a smile.

 

“I heard there’s an alpha bastard who doesn’t even know the subject yet drools over Seong Chan-young?”

 

Can you please elaborate?
