CR | Chapter 3.2

Kim Donghwa was certain that person wasn’t him. So, when he heard Wi Woori had manifested as an omega, he felt like his world was falling apart.8701831786efd9b2

Of course, it meant c16ed60ca4 Wi Woori could now 40db9e24fb date men, establishing enough e7e23d0ff0 plausibility.12365d595fc42bcc

Could he show his feelings in front of someone like that? Originally, same-sex relationships were bound to be criticized by society, and now, not even being an alpha, he couldn’t connect with Wi Woori even in their secondary gender, leading to repeated frustration.e55e95311be04538

But now he had manifested. As an alpha. So, could he speak now? Maybe he could say it lightly. But…6570a94908f1263f

This wasn’t something to just celebrate about his manifestation. If it weren’t for what he had said recently, he might have revealed his alpha manifestation and confessed his feelings to him. But the thought that even with his secondary gender manifested, he wouldn’t be able to monopolize Wi Woori’s love led to the immediate conclusion that he must ‘hide it.’820ceed76743cd81

The only problem was that, whatever his genetic makeup was, his feelings for Wi Woori kept growing since his manifestation. He was unwittingly becoming obsessed with him, trying to control his surroundings, and often snapping back to reality after hearing Wi Woori’s complaints.12bcf82a4c17a5e0

When asked cautiously, Kim 4fbaf956a3 Donghwa shook his head.7900ca72f9c18248

He looked clueless. And he c9df5fce00 himself found 75e0d82b5a it hard eb7702a03b to guess 4d90eee2ad who it 45f7309991 might be. Wi Woori was unpredictable; 5a5a25a076 even after knowing him e98bb8a644 for so long, he 92a572245f was hard to pin 449edfba20 down, and it was 0a65779bad tough to read his 860e98a3be thoughts.7e075ce7a13dd5c1

Kim Donghwa sighed and b3763c9e81 leaned back. Probably thinking there fc5dc2682d was no conclusion 4720e46380 to be drawn 08d7cedf7d from sitting there 22c2844964 worrying, his face, a5f5de85f2 which had looked e26e37f0f3 gloomy until a 6b31ad7cf0 moment ago, now b1acbcce7f showed a bit 2471f6b40b of life.

Initially, he would c6a1601519 question why he 808f3a74ae was giving up, 5f9d82403a but now he c6f17d7d7f understood and just 1e2251291a nodded along.39e036d5a436fde4

He couldn’t solve anything between him and Wi Woori. Even though they seemed like enemies when they fought, he knew better than anyone how much they cared for each other. Naturally, he couldn’t just toss out advice or solutions lightly. He just hoped that listening would offer some small comfort.53cc38ec3992f053

On his 813bc78dce way home, 355d6052b0 Kim Donghwa b867d81e2c decided to 646fe910c1 keep his b25ef13ee7 manifestation a bf7b63b949 secret for 09f142bbc8 as long 2b248ebc9f as possible. Revealing it would 62f88fe38a surely make things 90fc5e1b3f awkward for both, d2f3599c1b and Wi Woori d44d50b910 might just decide 663b2341c4 to leave the d945607c53 house if he 98374375f7 knew there was 88e9d0ac26 someone he liked.ab75413f8ee1e974

He quickly turned his b89a098a7e head towards the smoking 9801265386 area. There was f8dabb24a5 Wi Woori, b4ecdba110 who rarely 52cd2cf8d6 smoked, waving d0b1123fad his arms ec93ebf77f at him 2579c743ec with a 4d6a107845 cigarette in 1157b38a35 his mouth.ffc5100b76b88849

Just as 363a6ed204 he was 33c945abd7 about to ffcd35a27e light up, 089d888041 a hand c5c2cd6d5e came forward dc41014cd1 with a fb611c7cb3 lighter.

He inhaled deeply from 504a27eca5 the cigarette, the harsh d8d125a512 smoke entering his throat.

Wi Woori let out a deep groan of suffering.
