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.d38e547bd9b401f5

Of course, 0623cade67 it meant 3cdf76e322 Wi Woori 9bf0238988 could now 1e3edf2e97 date men, f28e2d71fe establishing enough 05a4880805 plausibility.b70c88ae2e208df2

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.f3a7b9ce1d071734

But now he had manifested. As an alpha. So, could he speak now? Maybe he could say it lightly. But…e7514e79fdd4a388

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.’455bcd3ff1170be5

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.bba38d7defe30951

When asked cautiously, 2dd551ec4b Kim Donghwa shook b4b72c2fe9 his head.0a7f0ff2f8a7ffcd

Kim Donghwa sighed and 2c1c45ae7f leaned back. Probably thinking there was 8f057b2613 no conclusion to be a6bac51d27 drawn from sitting there af6fc61c1d worrying, his face, which d0af49d838 had looked gloomy until d08adc849b a moment ago, now 34712639c8 showed a bit of ab9c9fcbd6 life. He seemed to 1502a0725f have resigned himself 25d68699db to the situation. Initially, he 6456831c00 would question 234c5f6070 why he 7b54dfbf23 was giving d0a6d23953 up, but 265ff5d6f8 now he b0561ac16e understood and 9f80e9aa56 just nodded 55ce37b9b1 along.db2042b8e598097a

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.c977687a0a7da6fc

On his 52689be495 way home, bce89d58e3 Kim Donghwa 9ee4b8387d decided to 360461d58e keep his 66a71e9b76 manifestation a 2c2cc1bae7 secret for d3a84dae0a as long 6200692232 as possible. Revealing it would 3ccc71922a surely make things 50f153898c awkward for both, 1c85a4eb2e and Wi Woori b2c9ae887d might just decide 61cc42937d to leave the 4d74d6a8a6 house if he 3098530901 knew there was 78bf174028 someone he liked.357ffefb2a0268b8

Just as he was 57fcfe0929 about to light up, 7e9b85f2c2 a hand came forward 888584e625 with a lighter.

Wi Woori, who looked like he was on his deathbed, was already pale, but now his face was completely drained of color.
