Thanks to his strong identity as a beta male, he didn’t even think of dating after the manifestation. After he entered college, he accidentally flirted a couple of times, but even then his partner was not an alpha male, but a beta female.

He’s never had an alpha male that he can call friends in his entire life, and he thought there would never be one in the future.

“Sorry.” Executive Director Min, noticing his embarrassment, went back to sit. When Junkyung was choking in embarrassment, Executive Director Min continued to speak. “Can I ask you a very personal question?”

There is only one question that must be personal in such a situation. Love experiences. When he tried to say that he has no experience, his mouth didn’t open for some reason. I really hate being an Omega, so I tried to live as a single person, but it’s so absurd that something like this is happening…..isn’t that too harsh to say?

“Have you ever been with a male Alpha before…”

“Yes, I have.” Junkyung spat out a lie, but it was too late. Executive Director Min’s complexion has become more expressionless than before. Or stiff?

If he asks about male alphas, the only people Junkyung has personally met face to face are Hyun-Seung Min and Hyun-Woo Min. Even though alpha is not that common, Junkyung avoids the alpha he sometimes encounters. I am afraid I might be strangely twisted.

The frequent encounters with Executive Director Min and his younger brother were unavoidable because of his job as a bodyguard serving madam.

“Were you close with him?”

“Not particularly.” Even if he told a big lie, it was unreasonable to fake every little detail. Also, the longer and more detailed a lie, the easier it will be exposed. Better to just not mention it. Above all, speaking informally is difficult not because the other person is an alpha male, but mostly because the other person is an Executive Director Min.

“I am sorry. It’s because you are the Executive Director Min. Suddenly talking about a weak uterus and hearing something like that is so awkward….it’s difficult for me. Please understand.”

For example, let’s think of the other person Executive Director Min as a giant tiger wandering through Siberia and Junkyung as a healthy medium-sized dog. No matter how friendly the tiger is with its big head and worrying about the internal organ of the other person, ordinary dogs are prone to heart attacks.

“All right.” Fortunately, Director Min agreed instead of getting angry. “I was too hasty without considering Junkyung’s position. Let’s put it off speaking informally until we get used to each other later.”

Will the day come where I will get used to it?

“If there’s anything you feel uncomfortable or wish for anything other than the way we speak, please let me know immediately. Even though Jun-Kyung has experience, I don’t know it well because it’s my first time dating.”

This time, Jun-Kyung stiffened. The heir to the alpha of the conglomerate doesn’t have a dating experience? Even if he stood still, there would be many omegas that followed him. Of course no one would be able to hit him up due to his aura.

“I don’t know how to act like a male omega. Don’t hold back and tell me in advance if there’s anything I am doing wrong.”

“You are fine.” Director Min, who sat back in his seat, raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He didn’t look too bad. However, the problem was that few people comfortably accepted the laughter of Executive Director Min. Junkyung was no exception.

“Can I take this opportunity to ask you a favor?”

“Yes, please.”Jun-kyung slowly sat down and answered immediately.

“I don’t want you to say sorry anymore.”

“………”

“If you are more comfortable with apologizing, once is enough. But better yet, don’t say anything at all.

What do you mean don’t say anything? He was instructed to properly say an apology as a bodyguard.

“All right.”

“Thanks.”

“You’re welcome.” Junkyung shook his head with a professional smile. Executive Director Min sighed lowly, “We have a long way to go.”

Afterwards, the meal continued silently.

After eating the finest food, they moved to the living room. Except for being uncomfortable around Director Min, the seat overlooking the swimming pool was perfect for conversation.

Again, the butler quietly disappeared after preparing a non-alcoholic beverage and a few side dishes. Soon after, uncomfortable conversations began in earnest.

“Let’s live in my house first.”Junkyung agreed to Min’s proposal because he can’t make Executive Director Min live in Junkyung’s small studio.

“I will ask my mother to find a good size and location.”

“Sure.”Jun-kyung mechanically agreed to what Executive Director Min was saying. This was a notification, not a conversation. Thankfully, it was convenient because of this. Because one side makes the troublesome decision and the other just follows it. I hope he doesn’t ask questions and just decide for himself.

“Let’s go say hello to Junkyung’s parents first.”

“When would be a good time?”

“What’s the most convenient time for you, Jun-Kyung? And  your parents and brother? We can decide a date after discussing it with your family and set it up there.”

Director Min does not waver easily. As soon as Junkyung felt comfortable about him deciding on his own, Director Min tossed the date decision here.

“My parents and my brother are always at the cafe, so they have a lot of free time. It is better to set it according to the Director’s schedule…..”

Executive Director Min shook his head, “I am asking for their son and hands in marriage, so that is not polite. The date and time will be completely determined by Junkyung’s parents.”

Please give me your son… Jun-Kyung becomes thirsty without any reason. The managing director poured the water into crystal glass. In embarrassment, without realizing it, he reached out two of his hands.

“One hand is fine.”

He quickly released one hand. The empty hand was anxious and awkward. As for why Executive Director Min said this, he fully understood in his head. Who holds a glass of water with both hands while holding, let alone drinking?

When it came down to it, there were a lot of small things that need to be set up. Was it because of this that the hotel staff was sent out? Since Director is thorough, there is a high possibility that he did. No, obviously he did.

“I think that’s a good time, right?”

“You mean the wedding date?” It is better to spit out what’s scary first. The other person slowed it down by one beat to match his pace, so it makes sense for Jun-kyung to speed up a little more this time.

“No, the day we had the child.”

The water he drank went back to the wrong pipe. He forgot the concept of speed was different for the two of them in the first place. Cough. Cough. 

“Are you okay?” Executive Director Min got up from his seat and brought a tissue. Junkyung shook his head in shock as Director Min was about to pat his back as well.

“I choked up… I am sorry no… I am fine.” He quickly wiped the clear water flowing through his nose with a tissue.  After a couple of breaths, he finally came to his senses.

After seeing that Jun-kyung’s complexion was returning back to normal, Executive Director Min was relieved but had a complicated expression as if he was dissatisfied with something.

After returning to his breath, Jun-kyung thought of the question he had asked earlier.

“Are you talking about what was said when I was hospitalized before?”

“Yes.”

At that time, he suddenly remembered what the doctor had when Junkyung was urgently sent to the hospital. The attending physician, who misunderstood the situation, severely cursed Director Min for putting Jun-Kyung in that predicament. Junkyung wondered if Director Min clarify the misunderstanding.

“Let’s say that I first liked Jun-kyung.”

“Yes, thank you.”

It was a shameful thing to say that Jun-Kyung chased Director Min first. There was no such thing as that, but the topic of the relationship between the successor of a large corporation and the bodyguard was so hot that just thinking about the rumors that he was aiming to turn his life around gives him a headache.

Despite Junkyung’s long legs, the overall body of Director Min was larger than Junkyung, so the sitting height was quite different. Saying that such a guy fell in love first and chased after him would be a great romance story, but there’s no such thing as cuteness or fondness when the lead actor looks like that. At face value, minimum is stalking and the maximum is hunting for humans.

“Then all that’s left is marriage and a ring?”

“I think we should say hello to your parents first and prepare.” Before Executive Director Min stepped on the speed pedal, Junkyung quickly applied the brake.

“Then when will you move?”

” Moving?”

“Because you decided to live in my house. There are plenty of rooms, so today is all right. Jun-kyung’s things will be moved by someone later today.”

“Now? Aren’t you in a hurry?”

“I don’t think so.” Brake doesn’t work against Executive Director Min. Executive Director Min firmly drew a line.

“I don’t know about anything else, but I want to check the well-being of Junkyung and the child myself. Especially since it is an unstable time, you need someone to be by your side.”

If the person next to him was Executive Director Min, wouldn’t the stress cause the child to drop? Come to think of it, that wouldn’t be too bad either.

“If moving is difficult, should I move next door to Junkyung? Or Junkyung’s hospitalization is not bad.”

Moving next door. The complex where Joon-kyung lives is very popular, so vacancies are rare. Of course, there are people in the house next door to Jun-kyung as well. Junkyung wonders how he would get rid of the existing occupants but now hospitalization was also offered. It was a skill to be able to calmly talk about whether to choose between surveillance or confinement.

Living next door with Executive Director Min is something that will spread even in complexes where there is no communication between neighbors. And hospital is not a good place to die. I’ve never been that close to an outsider in my life. Ever since I got to know Executive Director Min, I always felt like I am walking into a dead end. Is Executive Director Min itself a wall?

“I think it would be better if I told my parents about moving in first.”

Junkyung tried to delay it as much as possible. It’ll be a week later for the earliest to say hello to his parents.

“I think we should set the date properly.” Executive Director Min took out his cell phone from the jacket pocket. “Would you rather I contact them first?”

“Now? Oh no! Never do that! I, I will go first!”

Jun-kyung freaked out when Director Min tried to contact his parents right away. Director Min’s brake must have broken.
