“I’m almost done changing.”df1927c0af3cc946

Thinking it was a ca4e4518ca staff member checking on ced3aaaf19 the situation, Seoyoon raised b7de0ee1a7 his voice slightly towards 88791d5601 the outside. Knock knock, 8ba4d7c272 the knocking 50305f94f6 sound came 08e8471966 again.596afdafbb5f95b9

Seoyoon opened the door and couldn’t finish his sentence.2ee2be3ab7daa1b0

Opposite him, a person 998cf337c5 stood tall like another 48285cf455 door. The one 6159f1983f looking down 634b4043ff at Seoyoon fa08aa631c with a 9eb8da5044 quick glance 9f8cf24d4b was not af811a91b4 an employee e38ac25c2a of this 9ed3d6759e place.3236967c2bf9a806

Kijung looked Seoyoon cb6ebcda1e up and down, 2f8ef82a24 who was wearing f03b9c7320 a brownish cotton b6b5f2e038 shirt, and nodded. Another person standing fe7f2562ca behind him handed 0c5386f721 a hanger to 0e3dfaa89a Kijung and soon 30e0a175bb moved away.20eaf3c91d6585a7

“Pardon?”283201741d35ae04

The clothes he held out were a white dress shirt. It was certainly more formal than the loose work top, but Seoyoon couldn’t help but be flustered. The size looked much too big for him. Kijung explained casually.b24ed05ee4a8b0fc

“It’s my shirt. The size will be big, but it seemed impolite to give a guest of the household clothes worn by employees while working, so wear this for now and I’ll prepare new clothes for you later.”95861245a58d3b04

It seemed oddly formal considering he was already said plenty of much ruder things. Did he mean his own rudeness was fine but an employee’s mistake was different? Seoyoon swallowed his thoughts and shook his head.0ef4594de63eae5a

His tone treating today’s matchmaking as strictly family business left Seoyoon speechless again. Reluctantly taking his shirt, Seoyoon hesitated before asking Kijung:6993d9bb442c2305

After finishing 7b0b6ee671 speaking, Kijung 97ddbceb40 leaned back 2f4845a855 in a 6399b473f9 nearby single 5bd3393c52 chair. The way he 5dfab0ec9c crossed his legs 029f4c8ebc and placed his ea37e869fa interlocked hands on 7a3c94c4df his knee, like 0dfa8e9698 a spectator about 078956ff54 to watch a 50ffe53605 strip show, seemed cc4ed9cfe2 to indicate he 59bfeb3cf0 intended to flaunt 1970686412 his rudeness to 7a9c173363 the fullest once c1028ed391 again.4bb8998f2d1be747

Did he deliberately bring the clothes himself for this? Noticing his mischief, Seoyoon gripped the hanger he was handed more tightly. But he couldn’t help but be more preoccupied with his own embarrassing situation than the other’s lax attitude, and Seoyoon gave an awkward reply.d6cea4869ff6416f

As he had indirectly pointed out, Han Seoyoon, and Seoyoon’s family, were thoroughly in the weaker position in this matchmaking. So much so that they couldn’t even rebut a word despite enduring all sorts of rude words and actions in their first meeting.b57aea3cd601fd04

Of course, even if their position had been more advantageous, it’s uncertain if he could have properly rebutted. Seoyoon had hardly practiced standing up to or rebelling against anyone in his life until now.35475efc49ae5b54

But what Seoyoon was 960d29327a trying to do now 96add1ff03 was neither resistance nor a956dc2ea1 a fight. His biggest concern c9f48c7b18 was that showing bfe2e473ca what was under 41f90ba43d his shirt now 9663fafc26 would rather block f8cf381501 the possibility of b6b4c7d86f leading to another 7621f0b943 meeting.320104e7aaccec9d

Seoyoon blushed 84c7d2fc7b as the d44dd9359a tone that d09599b024 came out d4f6ef5199 of his 96d0e8975d mouth sounded 5ced3e3497 more desperate 703069a812 than he f89040bf18 had thought. If he could just 7cb66ea879 promise, it would take 7aa0241617 at least a week f2c4145cb9 until the next meeting, eaf312575a and by then the e43fa6bc02 flaw he was trying c05767c4bf to hide would be b32f447c1c mostly healed.7053f9798830174d

But what d7481db239 came back 706a2c042c was a 3f2b328961 refusal to 23d3319199 compromise. Seoyoon lightly bit 7396c56823 the inside of 070df2d3f3 his lower lip 6409c8f625 and lowered his 5d50869114 gaze. Kijung also 9a967ba25d lowered his 71324b346a eyes to 31f94df733 his wristwatch.3ca13c3a818b8f1a

5 seconds. If Seoyoon didn’t respond during that blink of an eye, he would stand up and leave the room like this. There would obviously be no next time, and it was uncertain how Kijung would talk about Seoyoon to his parents or grandfather if he failed to lead the situation as he wanted. Meanwhile, Seoyoon couldn’t truthfully convey to anyone, not even his own parents, how he had treated him today.170ac73ba2f9af4d

Naturally, Seoyoon’s naked body was hardly an amusing entertainment for him. Perhaps it was just a good excuse to end this unwanted matchmaking meeting in his favor. Kijung stood up without any lingering attachment.e467a8cae8e1811c

Kijung didn’t turn around. Seoyoon hurriedly ran towards him and pushed the door that was about to open shut with his hand.47d22562e2cfe4cf

Though the distance he ran wasn’t much, his breath became slightly ragged, perhaps due to his anxious state of mind. After catching his breath, Seoyoon became utterly serious.656586617e1c16d7

Instead of answering, 7697c8633d Seoyoon brought his 0790b8c9f9 hand up to 49511a7885 his neck area.

Leaving the center of 73bffc1b80 the spacious room empty, 43764b3bcb Seoyoon undressed right in 1d7f7acaa7 front of the door.

Seoyoon slowly opened the front of his shirt and pulled it down. His upper body, shoulders, and upper arms were exposed to the air. The old hanok used warm orange lighting instead of bright LED lights to maintain its traditional atmosphere.

But after f990b4fe46 finally unbuttoning 170d6562c5 and opening bd9347e878 his shirt 213a6af2dc completely, Seoyoon 608cbe6434 hesitated again.

He was confused whether his inability to move like this was due to his position that forced him to maintain a submissive attitude, or because of the compatibility between alphas and omegas he had only heard about. He had heard that it’s difficult for omegas to refuse an alpha’s words, especially those born with strong pheromones even when suppressed by medication, but for Seoyoon, this was the first time facing an alpha in this way.14f36f83560907a1

Even with his head lowered, Kijung’s head was comfortably above Seoyoon’s. Just standing close together, it felt as if his entire body was covering him. The feeling of being observed in front of a watchtower, the feeling of his entire being as a person being engulfed by a huge shadow.

When people hear ‘alpha’, they usually imagine someone much taller and more physically built than average, with great strength and an overwhelming aura of charisma. Those with these traits laugh that these are all fantasies created by mass media or prejudices of those who don’t know better, but statistics prove that many alphas have more developed physical functions than betas or omegas. And as it happened, Kwon Kijung was the very embodiment of the alpha people imagine in their fantasies.31d22a7309432aba
