Dongdahoe

Dongdahoe¹.

A marketplace where Omegas were bought and sold. This was no place for the rabble lurking in back alleys.

It wasn’t a direct exchange of money for Omegas from Alphas—instead they displayed omegas like goods to be offered to alphas based on mutual interests, or they collected omegas who had outlived their usefulness

This was their carefully crafted playground, a murky, depraved swamp.

Cheongho, sold off cheaply by his gambling-addicted father, ended up here. Desperate to escape the fate of an Omega, he severed his pheromone glands, but…

“Cheongho. I fucking told you—stop leaking pheromones.”

That couldn’t be.

“I’m… not… an Omega.”

Geumwu’s eyes traced over his hollowed cheeks before he sniffed the air, catching the intoxicating scent rising like heat haze from Cheongho’s nape.

“Then why the fuck is your pheromone dripping like piss?”
