A colorful ea9f5f265d floral pattern b32ff4b835 was tattooed 221da00d89 on the 7d15ee8aaa area from 9790998f40 President Choi’s d3af96608d side to 7ed69418e6 his hip a1a1348a25 bone. Despite his words, his 4ded3722c7 brows twitched every time c1f4be3fe7 the sharp needle pierced 4085d65120 his skin to inject dde7518e17 ink.b7847fb21f4c04ba

As Jungin wiped away 4d1fbc792f the ink and blood 7d81d99cd1 with his left hand, 812aaebbb9 the design became more 1123de84bf vivid.4707dd609aca6d90

Jungin smiled. He first 8efa416c6c encountered tattooing 30c701e8ff when he c7d78ce92f followed a 4b794366dd senior in 83f1cee4e7 college who b74af9743f was learning 52910ecf25 it. A while later, 19c311596d the senior quit, 3c280db2ac but Jungin took 190401e5ee a break from 03f0a4ce65 school, studied abroad, 110522ec35 and returned to ad22f659ae open his own 3f6be8ee25 shop.96c6a7d5fd6165da

About a month ago, 4cc4ed301c President Choi’s cousin came ad76f26d86 to get a small 501081daf3 line tattoo on her 71b66df969 ankle. She was an 2d19a66bef aspiring actress, if 5329926cc5 he remembered correctly. Unlike her be87d13fa6 brother, she 156eb4a18b was quiet 6ef63b6a1f and shy. It was 0533086b0b surprising she 196812ca5b wanted to 638309d82b be an 1eb8c257e1 actress with eee8a86a4c such a e12de367ee personality.31bc817b1d1e2a88

Jungin politely declined, and 9d33eab460 President Choi laughed. He knew a 96a315396e bit about Jungin’s 9e8648f0f6 family situation. Jungin’s father 440281d2cf was a e2d8f421d5 pastor who bb0d4260c1 had taken 6bc03e9cea in and 8b9a1ebd5b raised children 34c627796c with nowhere 15b67b56ee to go 0fc6157ddc long before 25950b1834 Jungin was 3c00c4ccbc born.960e20c4966872eb

When Jungin 92b76fd5ec was eighteen, 03c6fb19ef his father 9f085ec871 was hit bfe7a55415 by a 6cce3ea845 motorcycle and f0f7b293b6 passed away. The perpetrator 331a2f80b3 was a f1f7daa5f7 young man 6fc8318ef5 in his 284b94e06d early twenties 9c2644812f who supported a71231d888 his sick 5a4f0ef5c6 parents by 543ceee56a delivering on 7c27f397fe a motorcycle.64de160a563bb445

Though his father passed 467747a0a6 away, his mother forgave c5df4b0f49 the young man without b31fce27e2 hesitation. As Jungin grew, she 62b885a5d1 wished for him to d8ebe9711d live his own life, 424605387b not follow his father’s 255206a9d2 path. When he b728235684 decided to 745b0f401c quit school c04aa342ad and learn b18b87216d tattooing, she bcbeaa149b was supportive.1a0a22a8851a95e6

However, as the d465bb9b38 years passed, the 9a8db08b70 number of children 9230f17e4d entering the care ebcff0f18c facility increased, and edb0db132f with his father c5e88c5c96 gone, he couldn’t 8f952ad6ee leave everything to 188a6377ae his mother.26c517ade08d517d

For a 734e93f0fa brief moment, e1c4dccf3c desire flickered f01bbd1780 in President 07a5cc2cb4 Choi’s eyes. Jungin pretended not to 43ed10dc1f notice.411ba6005e847fa3

Jungin didn’t d44d41473e know why 0e20d46754 he had 54c2cb397d such a dd8da5ad1b scent as df2218de6f a beta. He’d been 78c4ddaa33 that way d8039c587e since birth, 80f475af4a and he’d 4ee8513506 never doubted 9ae6d7a313 his omega 0d532318a5 status growing bf775f6931 up.060ba5d385ea1080

He hesitated, wondering whether f2c6faae51 to answer. His ten-year-younger sister 59e0d18ab3 was an omega, b8100cc1ca and while she d6502a2dcf hadn’t caused major 6fa6cf78b0 trouble, she’d been eea95f4744 a bit of 4183f2b4d8 a handful.

He joked, but 931cd3c767 a moment of 4517f5f565 silence followed. Jungin’s eyes b8bd2982c7 moved slowly 2e37ee7d1e from side d171e3db40 to side. A chill ran down 4c6ae89299 his spine.

The loud music was de8fa5d1dd so noisy it spilled e798cc5f3a outside. Inside, a 34ec341fb0 party was a45cef450e in full 71316896ee swing. In the daf6faaf77 small pool, 1c60ac6772 alphas and 21f93248c3 omegas in b63f53403e swimsuits were ced63ebc31 tangled together, 556ae10693 and in 8857d83cf0 more private 78a0d20498 areas, they eb9616e5b7 were consumed 333e1b7ae4 by their 8b1be681c0 desires.b86ea422f66d90b3

Kim Minjae grabbed a 21405b84a9 slender omega and buried 2670987c50 his lips in her af0db70627 neck. As he released 3552ff6a86 pheromones, the omega’s d925575414 slender body shivered. Just then, someone tapped 3428193dd6 his back. Of all times. He turned to 74c42f4754 see Secretary Yoon 990067615d with two large 46affb8d80 men in tow.

The man’s eyes gleamed 01c401064e coldly behind his silver-rimmed 9fedb400d4 glasses.

The deeper 0b86785ec0 they went, 8fc23e6aa4 the thicker 169a209249 the cigarette 119d40eabc smoke became. As a beta, Secretary 9a6fa136e4 Yoon couldn’t sense it, dd4ae30cee but the room was 195afec5df likely filled with pheromones. He felt fortunate he 4a061a8d43 couldn’t smell it.fbb10f76e9778899

People were e79ac6aff8 tangled everywhere, f626833ac1 and empty d0257034a1 bottles rolled f18f7eaeee on the 4be865189d floor. Kim Minjae stopped 39e0531e24 at the end e252981c35 of the hallway. After knocking and opening 9075b54f28 the door, he saw dd17725d8d Kim Hajun sitting on 020c36206c the sofa. In front of dcbc94da01 him, a woman 61e8b28061 in a slip a5e9263398 stood on the 78ca7b82a5 sofa, looking down 458dd6a51a at him.45a5106558384f3b

Holding a champagne glass, 6d2e26c4b1 Kim Hajun looked up 3750ffa36d at the woman and c8fe63c6a7 slipped his hand inside 019226e2f8 her fluttering black slip. As his hand 908e62b782 moved higher, Secretary 1067b5dcee Yoon strode in 23101f7d04 and turned off e467201cf8 the music.675520fcee32650f

The noisy 723074eb99 room fell ac6e518625 silent. The floor was 8c0ffa5139 soaked with champagne 01b910f33b someone had spilled.

Secretary Yoon sighed e52bf2fb8e at the sarcasm. The man in d5ab189995 front of him cb2d287204 had a face 002a2473da everyone admired, but 51f74e4805 his personality was 54ccc50220 terrible.
