“I’m almost done changing.”1468c99007c7db3b

Thinking it a21287058f was a 79ca2e2f78 staff member 80b887efcd checking on 004bc21e9f the situation, 22042b5234 Seoyoon raised 62532e64e5 his voice 5bcf9414bd slightly towards deb66a528c the outside. Knock knock, 8828a33dcf the knocking 4ac88c4f72 sound came 3aa9a9c467 again.612446ae0c70a721

Seoyoon opened the door and couldn’t finish his sentence.489165149a11c18a

Opposite him, a cd5739c3af person stood tall f71f23a15d like another door. The one 3d1152648f looking down 28bc90722b at Seoyoon adbf6a1915 with a 759cddc21f quick glance 89d4b156a0 was not 33cce2c333 an employee 62c7964d64 of this accaea43fa place.fafb4a6fc67db1a9

“Director Kwon.”0216dc24b85a2af8

Kijung looked 5377143c54 Seoyoon up 85a6612126 and down, 155f766da2 who was 70de90aebc wearing a 4495cf130b brownish cotton a582a72ce1 shirt, and a004e0f7d3 nodded. Another person 86e222dcc7 standing behind ffc25b914f him handed 189aa63224 a hanger a55c33d410 to Kijung ebcb5b9147 and soon dae3a84807 moved away.6394fbe87d291cc9

“Pardon?”77fcd6ff50a52063

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.46454a446b53bdc2

“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.”7f2643081c3be984

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.f0bb7c430aa9efe8

After finishing speaking, Kijung 89f9970530 leaned back in a ca642dd708 nearby single chair. The way he crossed ee5679ff0f his legs and placed b8167426e4 his interlocked hands on 25c8adb9ff his knee, like a 701ea1c99a spectator about to watch 5df2566f21 a strip show, seemed f08eea8bc5 to indicate he intended 3b06899b07 to flaunt his rudeness 2cc70dd8a7 to the fullest once 4880840ef4 again.a7ab8bff1b7f2af0

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.5835f1ad0f90bd6f

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.f26670d051757ce1

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.98d8fc86524fdbe2

But what Seoyoon d8a49eb0c4 was trying to 253b7ea70c do now was d23c45c35b neither resistance nor ca5242d96e a fight. His biggest concern was d801d78650 that showing what was 9df5f8ca52 under his shirt now 04dd201ec2 would rather block the d084a6b566 possibility of leading to 0edfd69ee6 another meeting.9bdd2023ebfa7b73

Seoyoon blushed as the 098f36b5e4 tone that came out 68dcb03bd6 of his mouth sounded 32e8511bb4 more desperate than he adb7347d3c had thought. If he could 48ca1bd9d9 just promise, it 7c980f109b would take at 95cd0dfc3c least a week dc630756a3 until the next fde51a372b meeting, and by 223b85a994 then the flaw 8f713333c6 he was trying 177a2bcb57 to hide would e4caa715fa be mostly healed.8baaf48bfec62c2e

But what came 0021e7da9b back was a 200d252db7 refusal to compromise. Seoyoon lightly bit the 546192a35e inside of his lower 067e7997b9 lip and lowered his 3b345b4ba6 gaze. Kijung also c76a1abfd3 lowered his 53df1b8ffb eyes to d3f2cbabfd his wristwatch.c7c2c23280bb4429

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.d082e10ab1d4ea38

Five, four, three, two, 6c404cd991 as he counted down 96f96a649b in his mind, still 142ff9ffbc unable to decide what cfedb5362c to do, the sentence 03c09dad5f finally fell on Seoyoon.66af38c00f2118ae

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.f2002cead31474f7

He immediately turned his back and walked towards the door. The room was quite spacious, but it didn’t take long to reach the exit. Just as the sliding door was about to glide open, Seoyoon unconsciously raised his voice.c2ab525a48932483

Kijung didn’t turn around. Seoyoon hurriedly ran towards him and pushed the door that was about to open shut with his hand.381ee50b96c40633

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.8bd0f814c1c7cd7c

Instead of answering, Seoyoon 162356d9aa brought his hand up 8996a92146 to his neck area. After exhaling a small 586d511205 breath, he began to 486825d478 undo the buttons he 99418fdff3 had almost finished fastening, 0d11c01b8f one by one. Though he 4b27b50a73 had made c48c813583 up his 46c53a14a1 mind, the 22321d52c3 speed at 87373d0a7f which he e7fd547911 unfastened the b0d59e8aec buttons with 67bccd56d1 trembling hands 8cccbf9d92 was very 4f2fc7dcde slow.40a49cb231046bfa

He wanted to believe that it was better to somehow create another opportunity by making excuses rather than ending things here. Maybe it wouldn’t look as strange as Seoyoon himself felt it was.9b18ada54e3d92d6

Leaving the center 4aeb04464a of the spacious fad580e420 room empty, Seoyoon e8af1d8948 undressed right in c1110e3be4 front of the 584f0480f6 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. Seoyoon’s white skin also appeared more blurred than usual under that lighting.675624996efe837f

But after c9faa3032b finally unbuttoning d660e17c5c and opening d9883cfd7d his shirt 3a7191da19 completely, Seoyoon 7b70359bd2 hesitated again.

A slightly cracked sound 460d457551 of surprise escaped. It was 46f0547d8e because a e9dd0470c0 large hand b6c17f19e5 suddenly grabbed 5e2f1fa394 and pulled 81cef5ab74 both his a24e7459d4 arms. The shirt 94b0508ac2 that had dbd899e3f7 been hanging 607c0dc3a4 from his a48c13327c fingertips fell 4894d8a4e1 silently to 36330e86d5 the floor.0c2f612fb6601d39

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.e969c46c0121bdec

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. Seoyoon’s body trembled finely from fingertips to shoulders to waist, as if cold.d261eee42eeaa274

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.ef4e09cdb648dbe2

His face, which 94b38ad65e Seoyoon looked at 7cc295bba7 while lowering his 0161d0bfc7 head to examine f1f3957f4f his arms, was d415e04db0 so handsome that df3032dd10 he found himself 769c9f28e0 staring, losing his 2d8e942eef embarrassment.

With nowhere else to look, he gazed at the thick eyebrows and sharp nose bridge, then anxiously followed the color of that gaze.
