It was money given by the man. When he hesitated to take it, suspicious of the man’s intentions, the man playfully pressed the 50,000 won bill into his hand, calling it a service.c91a7847f545c751

It was the first time he’d ever touched such a large denomination. There wasn’t a store nearby, and he wasn’t sure where he’d spend it, but it felt good. In the past, that amount would have lasted him a month.8fb2a3806b43a429

Eventually, Yuwon took a flyer distribution job at the request of a sympathetic hair salon owner. The salon was small, so the pay wasn’t much, but it was enough for him to live on his own.ab35dcacb9264e8a

All Alphas? Different species were rare. It was hard to see them around, and he’d never heard of a group consisting only of different species. As Yuwon’s eyes widened, Kim Unhak explained as if he expected it.e886051b62c701f4

The man undressed without caring who was in the room. So, Yuwon, who always turned his head to avoid him, saw the man’s bare back for the first time.02b791b41bdf4731

There was a distinct ba3fa079eb scar on his broad d86e8bfccd back. It was a cross, c0484fb5a1 rough and jagged as d69d234b30 if carved with a 0ab21b6cbf knife. It resembled the shape 62a4f0ba58 of the necklace the 3c9b8e4280 man always wore.ef858bd29f38525a
