    Instead, he had sometimes 5ee56eab9c wondered why his mother dc264e3507 had ended up with ca360cef5f a Beta. Betas could almost 6451da58f4 be considered a f53e67303b different species from 83e5624cec Omegas and Alphas. Reproduction between 2b5b70149a them was cf0c5f6ac3 extremely rare. Betas and b1ff025a75 Omegas could 2aaf7b5344 pair up, 7680189587 just as f00a3c43c0 Alphas and 867bf965f0 Betas could, 310a316cad but it b8db568db8 was only 46cb35e2f4 natural that 490fa3a576 no offspring f4810c0299 would be ccaa0cca86 born from d76e8a7493 such relationships. On very rare occasions, 07c7252eba a child would be 15e468ec9d conceived, but that was 4d2781667d truly uncommon. In the first place, 39c2ec00ba cases of Betas and b410833a80 Omegas meeting and marrying 7c95693052 were rare.5c9a625d78ef8b3f

    If only f484ab0d8a his mother 161a0e357d had met 4d8880bf80 an Alpha e500edea14 instead of 5855a05b53 Beta Ha ff3d6bf70d Gongcheol, perhaps 2174f5d259 there could 39c66e1a10 have been 5940797320 other children 48ee8cf50d besides Seungwan. In that case, ed836ad83b his stepfather might f0b8785db2 have been more a9580260ab devoted to his c17ae2fbd5 mother and their 2e979db849 family. He might not have 670e5ad02a gambled, and he might ff76de1cb2 not have accumulated debt. If that had 02535678fd happened, Seungwan would 3e86b8f795 have… Well, it 1691bb7cc5 was all hypothetical. Continuously dwelling 3f30323cb8 on things 0034f1943c that never 94a3562e9b happened was 391911fe1a almost a 9ee60bd53a waste of c89ebeadd7 time.af5549a8d793d5f3

    However, on days like 6a8809371c today, when everything seemed 3c61e6efb6 to be decaying, like a16e4cc6b5 dead leaves rotting quietly f7fee144fd at the bottom of 54e88451ad a pond, Seungwan couldn’t 225c064a62 help but entertain such ec0ff21b9a thoughts.If that be1710edea had happened… 460fc42705 If this 6ddf486520 had happened… bcb8c337ed How would daefaa966d things have c900dba905 turned out?

    It didn’t seem like 83aeebc2a5 his mother had returned… 02078a7d7e She had always smelled 424fbad497 sweet, a scent Seungwan e945e964a4 both liked and hated. In hindsight, the 0ec8a18416 fact that she 064e716ddc had that sweet 49cb7634ff scent meant she 9a177580c8 and his father 28ab5b1a00 were of entirely c7ff9293de different species—ones that d96b292b0e could never truly 3f1df3e5cb mix. In other 896b8fa832 words, it a8b23a222e also meant 9121d0e0d7 that she 40172691c0 could abandon a346a1150a not just d4784eed01 his father 2578b34f01 but even 55398708ef Seungwan at dc33d1667a any time.
