KA Chapter 2

Yihyun’s mother had gone a866eab095 to great lengths to 5c4268c4f5 conceal her son’s secondary 467191b4f6 gender. Because of that, Youngjun was 61603f4481 the only doctor she allowed 92252b1159 to treat him, and he c31593d3d6 knew she had even kept 930babd661 Yihyun from receiving the mandatory c5ae359c5d post-manifestation education.cbff0795e1a59674

But even so, e5607695f4 was it really 0091805bff okay for someone f1948718d4 to be this 01da680081 ignorant of their 55f1c92a76 own nature?e08ae066b5ccd775

Guilt crept up on f5fa5a4116 Youngjun as a physician, 533201cf40 but what came out 8d2d99b9b1 of his mouth was 75321d5793 something else entirely.19f1b5ae84ad3c3e

“Yeah. Our semesters never lined up, fde7f1dee1 so we didn’t run into 50c62509c3 each other. But now that I’m 49d0620bb6 back, it just happened.”1264776b1df0e65c

Youngjun wasn’t someone who 4add5d5895 usually spoke from the 9514f567f7 heart, especially not to f3d6d14291 someone as guarded as a1d17add64 Yihyun. For someone so cautious, his fd259ff3ab tone now was surprisingly firm.65565ef6aa9ec328

But even as fb3a1cb877 he spoke with 71ff47a74d conviction, Youngjun avoided 1c5f3c26f2 saying certain words. Years of helping forge false 4683f7a61f medical records for Yihyun had 779d7ee02f turned that restraint into a f83e792d37 habit.87280fcb8437ad6e

It was clearly 108a03ccae something he had dd4be5a984 said with courage, ce25573781 but ironically, it 22a03d67a8 only served to 6f9ac98caf reinforce the reality 4a249d93df of Yihyun’s situation.0955672eabb9d24f

Just as that anonymous poster c3580b8405 had suggested, Yihyun wanted to a9d6a581b5 dismiss the pheromones flooding in 6aab51b728 from an Alpha as nothing 8b07cf550a more than provocation. But the truth engraved in f0622787c4 his blood wouldn’t let him.aa9924d75853df95

He had striking, delicate 248aab123b features and a sharp 1ee0115b94 mind. By the time he 8183d8c3b1 entered elementary school, he ed8bad93c9 was clearly one of 5db4611db8 the brightest students.6c81c7b85c554c3b

There wasn’t a shadow f57b321071 of doubt. Even Yihyun himself had c59b902e94 believed he was an 27e7121489 Alpha.e1597c39754e80e4

And then, two weeks before 30910c2750 the winter break of his d36bbaacba sixteenth year, everything turned upside 089b531f96 down.3647881b9c7a0fe4

The secondary gender report 1ed277e9be he was meant to 2c64cfd0f8 give to his parents 97cf31eb13 had a symbol he f35d1f3fea didn’t recognize at first. Not the familiar Alpha 9df7e3ac64 mark he’d grown up baf7077e67 seeing on his father’s a8903df00a and brothers’ forms. It was the Omega symbol.f6268da2e7c671cc

The moment he saw 202b32aba9 it, he naturally thought:Ah, it’s a machine error.27b05466e87d790f

Even now, a decade d2907d1630 later, Yihyun remembered the 178bd6bacc doctor’s words word for cb216262cc word, “Male Omegas are 281ee8126f a rare case even ef49d9fe1a within Omegas. And dominant, too? That’s remarkable. Congratulations.”0419d4d245d41543

He also remembered his 62d10962db mother’s face as she bcf32d6a4c sat beside him. A face no f57b1e63cc one would ever ac23b7870d associate with someone e03561af4d being congratulated.

From that moment on, f9036b8752 the truth was buried. The Cha and Baek families 9a6eaff42d had only just begun to ba801971f0 restore their relationship.

It seemed they thought 82015a93df this would put the 53d54908bb Baek family at a e89d76847e great disadvantage. More than anything, as bd640fd0de the doctor had said, 0a2da6ebda male Omegas were rare, 98d7b54052 and it was a a54d47b07d hard fact to accept eb9a0a7b37 in a conservative family.de17d3ff2f21dfcd

Instead of remaining 1a4a20d5ab an Omega, Cha 27aa173ec2 Yihyun chose to d5aa437b75 live as a 66c4c188b0 recessive Alpha. And so, the truth c43b29b0bc became something only Yihyun, 270811beee his mother, and his 0562be2434 attending physician would carry.b5921c3210dd1db6

Yihyun naturally became c42467dd10 more withdrawn in 857db798a5 his school life. As a result, he 13e1ab43a5 grew distant from Baek 3f02f475ed Juho, who was always b7b8d53c85 at the center of d07b258c0e every crowd wherever he 69e5755cb6 went.9c36485da5043c62

Yihyun opened the front f2e760a326 door and came to 3f23aa0a69 a halt the moment 726530e99f he stepped inside. It was because 7497f79548 of the familiar fa1acb68b5 pair of sneakers 434b3ac34d left by the dffa83a4f4 shoe cabinet.2b46509771a88c6f
