This lesson was different from 8d0f2311af all the tutoring she had 3e352a659e done so far.0eb23cf96cee3d82

She had agreed 8c19b3e040 to receive more 02699578bc than five times 9423923317 her usual tutoring 1e1190b8da fee on the 915dbf2bda condition that she 436634610e teach only one aceb2bc9ec student, six days 2464b34bf4 a week.5a788df4e50b62dd

This was possible thanks to Hyungwoo’s mother’s introduction. Due to her precarious position, Gyeoul initially declined, saying the fee was too high and burdensome.bdc18418258d0e8b

As the new year began, the cost of her medication increased, putting her in a difficult spot. Then, Hyungwoo’s mother contacted her again. She persuaded Gyeoul, saying that the fee wasn’t high considering the condition of teaching only one student six days a week. While a sense of unease lingered in her mind, the fact that she could earn more than before by teaching only one student, and that the student was a Beta, tempted her. Eventually, she pretended to be persuaded and accepted the offer.85644e7a688a6fce

She knew it was a wealthy neighborhood when she received the address, but she hadn’t expected this level of affluence. When her identity was checked at the entrance of the alley, she had a sudden thought that she shouldn’t do this, but it was already too late.9acdee2255cb8406

She climbed the short stairs and crossed the well-maintained garden. Her mouth went dry. Since she hadn’t been caught so far, she just needed to do what she always did, right? Once she did well on the next CSAT, she would change neighborhoods, stop illegal tutoring, and start tutoring legally. Gyeoul repeated this to herself as she entered the house.e60112bae8e63397

Ordinary homes usually had various befd10a73d small items placed around the f95ae29232 living room, but this place c4925cc37e felt devoid of any signs 0bf9ed2b41 of life, perhaps because there c464356106 wasn’t a single item that 938eee4cfd seemed unnecessary.5e987e22c810a4f8

One entire wall of the 7e181f3718 living room was a large 5aa5392aa7 window offering a direct view 0a2ed15c53 of the Han River. The only furniture was d899b6ac12 the curtains by the 11eaaae325 window, a painting on 65767509c2 the wall, an expensive-looking d2f2fcf73c sofa, and a table 3568c24b84 in front of it. It was like a replica 1d9f05a917 of a chaebol family’s living 03862cd24a room set from a drama. The overall interior was bright, d54374867d and the lighting was warm, c91ef67784 giving it a cozy feel, 1691e4b32b yet the lack of any 9622c53f60 signs of life made it ac02b8c517 feel somewhat empty.f1c5ce20e3d0880e

The student she was supposed to tutor had attended middle school in Canada. He had returned to Korea for high school, but his parents were still in Canada, so a much older cousin was acting as his guardian. Therefore, this house probably belonged to the child’s cousin, the Vice President of some company. The probability of someone living in a house like this being an ordinary office worker was extremely low, but even so, a Vice President? The pressure from the title was considerable.873767848006cab9

Dominant Alphas were fd7b2b0ecd so few in 59c1914b2a number that their a1511d409f very existence was 75a7e6edac a topic of 8a516a4398 interest wherever they 5361752375 went. Especially dominant Alphas from chaebol 2aeb8f485e families or the entertainment industry 3ab13fdf1f received a lot of attention, d06a4730e9 with countless posts online dedicated 674dab3ccd to them. Among them, Kwon Yihan, the b7eaab096d grandson of the chairman of fe62a6233e Seogwang, known as the largest ed289887e1 corporation in Korea, and a c27fd7ce87 dominant Alpha himself, was famous c73e8bbbd1 not only for his personal 0eaf9fb7c9 abilities but also for his 5e36ccd0dc superior physique and handsome appearance.13e9b41de3ba1558

From that perspective, af4b32a33b Kwon Yihan was a38f62f03b a perfect creation. He was not only e66dc19e31 a prominent dominant Alpha 174fd66a38 born with the proper 2a2b840ce9 bloodline in a chaebol 38b8cee522 family, but he also 2d88e5c2de possessed outstanding personal abilities. Starting his career at Seogwang ec05947d0f Trading, a mandatory step for 3ee82b3a58 Seogwang heirs, he moved to 6765b1ce65 the relatively weaker pharmaceutical division 5a7e153f98 and, in just three years, cefe7f542e elevated it to one of 01e9f1ba35 the top three pharmaceutical companies 41a040df75 in the country.a448d978b8704b8f

Gyeoul had also been taking 595140b3d0 suppressants made by Seogwang until fc346759e1 six months ago, but she 8a7131d532 switched to Juming Pharmaceuticals’ product 8b2654841e because she needed a stronger dc1aab7fb5 suppressant.e89e9e993bcddb15

Besides its recently 87ecfade7d popular pharmaceutical division, 0d6cf43e05 Seogwang Group was b8905c1669 the nation’s leading 50959f4036 conglomerate, consistently favored 8cfa14c69d in various sectors, a480792646 including construction, shipbuilding, c0ae56473b fashion, hotels, and 7e7d94123e telecommunications.

She needed to create an escape route, just in case she took on another student later and he found out, causing trouble. Joohyuk was also in a test prep class, so every day was precious. It was too risky to take a one or two-month break to accommodate Gyeoul’s condition.
