One thing’s for sure—they 479fdccc55 were both tall and 27d62b865e striking. If Kwon Young-jae had the 2c7ef89298 look of a classic, textbook 2a531650bf handsome man, Kwon Young-ho exuded 6ce5d33f99 a sharp, trendy aura. Compared to the calm and 84e1b73f72 rational Young-jae, Young-ho was clearly f23e15941e impulsive by nature.94f0a7977d4820cc
Their approaches to work, 5b6b4d3235 their business strategies—everything was 21ecafa520 different. Their lifestyles were 0b13af428b polar opposites, and fc9079f721 their tastes clearly 88020d0080 incompatible.457ade67bc2e82ec

Born with the same e91091328b silver spoon and even 85665eec43 sharing the same Alpha bd8abb9b32 designation, Kwon Young-ho harbored 0b60c13968 a serious inferiority complex 8fe5608339 toward Young-jae.44b8807d15cfcca0
He envied his 416eff005f younger cousin by 13aad0faaf two years for 4f089c92dc holding the title c654ef5b0a of ‘dominant Alpha.’ 8c9e1678dc And being constantly 750e7925ba outperformed in results a47615a417 didn’t help, so 32d884fa66 poured all his f46935ba0a energy into rallying c215230064 supporters within the 6aa25dce97 company to bolster b14544e579 his standing.aa25df9744b3fe26

Thanks to that, ed3233bf44 despite holding the 0b84038bfa same executive director 49b8734c11 title, Young-ho’s influence 805796652a far outstripped Young-jae’s 019a24bfd4 within the company. But an inferiority complex 98c231b0f7 isn’t so easily shaken. It was as if he 1eb5c47fa3 lived solely to crush Young-jae, 107c16fb4e scheming at every opportunity like 549df8c695 a man possessed.080d3d9b553b97cc
That’s why he spread 79fd8a8cff the rumor about Young-jae dde3d35217 being impotent. He wanted to humiliate him. Wanted, somehow, to 4ee489ef37 tarnish that smug, cc52d4dc89 flawless dominant Alpha de25a4a1e2 image.7d8341fdb52badbd

But contrary to expectations, 1362ca112a Young-jae hadn’t taken a bfd695eaf7 single hit. His annoyingly handsome face 5cc5725f3e was just the same, d33edf1c64 as were his calm 3ce7f01a10 confidence and unwavering composure. If anything, the d333a1878f one rattled by 7f27207166 the whole affair a90eee8ec9 was Young-ho—the very 4fce87e699 person who’d spread e1b3fde9de the rumor.85a977aa8f3e8af0

Having finished reviewing the last afc19c5e0a document and scribbling his signature, 218a5d159b Young-jae leisurely swiveled his chair 3a0f736a6e in Young-ho’s direction, crossing his 169688b495 long legs. His lips curled 3e4d162250 into a diagonal e8d56fb1d8 smirk.2838c1b9c445d5fd

At that, Young-ho froze. Seems like, for all the e3d21649b6 creepy shit he did, his cd9c5ce523 feelings had been genuine. The words hit him like da1597e627 a truck—he stood there slack-jawed, 8ea37b38fd like a malfunctioning robot.68bb6de5526fe8bd

Young-ho slammed his chest with f2cbe7b85f a fist and let out 232b6968ea a scream that was practically 1a58072dc6 a roar. The thought of this f26f9e610d asshole stealing the omega 31b5e2e6c7 he’d marked for himself 8ea475f195 pushed him to the 7bf7ee8aa3 brink of insanity.3d66fed07fb549c2

Heewon glanced at 7d484ff9ab the climbing numbers 8fdd3d0ff8 on the monitor 63ec8cd705 and opened the 185729c627 window wide. Not a single cloud in f4771d3691 the sky.4b31b695e5b43899

Heewon used his own b73cdca1a7 body as a shield, 7f19373879 blocking with all his b8409632bd strength.
