Chapter 40
The cell phone rang loudly. When I picked up a ringing cell phone in my pocket and checked the recipient, it was Chairman Seong.
“Wait a minute. I’ll take the phone. Hello?”
[It’s grandfather, Chan-young ah. How have you been?]
Chairman Seong’s voice was mixed with a bit of an angry spirit. I trembled inwardly wondering what I did wrong.
“I’ve been well. What about you, grandfather?”
[I haven’t been well.]
“Oh… Is it because of me?”
[No, because of the alpas chasing you]. I don’t think they have any intention of giving up.]
‘Was there a friction between Chairman Seong and the gongs while I didn’t know?’
What I found out from the last phone call was that Chairman Seong was surprisingly more favorable to me than I thought. I don’t know if it’s because of guilt or if it’s really pure affection for his grandson, but it was a benefit to me.
‘It’s surprising that he tried to protect me even though I said I wouldn’t go up to the parent’s house.’
Secretary Choi may not have told the chairman, but Chairman Seong seemed to have noticed that I was uncomfortable with them, given that I had settled my relationship with the gongs at all.
He didn’t interfere, instead he tried to inform and give me a choice in this way, which was a big boost to me. With this worldview at its best, I felt comfortable thinking that I could be more relieved.
“Do you know why the alphas are looking for me?”
[I didn’t fully understand that either. I think each of them wants to ask something about you……. I couldn’t understand why they were so obsessed.]
Obsession. Wow, it was the worst thing for the gongs to feel for Seong Chan-young. I have goosebumps on my arm.
“I must have done a lot of wrong…….”
The real Seong Chan-young was trash that exceeded my expectations. Why is it that the child is responsible for the evildoing while someone else has to clean up the wreckage?
[From listening to the Alpha group’s conversation with a person, I can guess.]
“What is it?”
[They wanted to know why you left all of a sudden. And you……]
“Me?”
[…No, I can’t remember well because I’m old. Forget it, it’s probably nothing.]
I thought it was an important word, but seeing that you were equivocal, wasn’t it.
[Right, I almost forgot something important. Soon they’ll come to where you live.]
You’ve been “leaving me” free, old man. I was grateful that he didn’t drag my house even though he already found out where I live. It was good that he only went out hard on the phone.
“May I ask when?”
[Right away. They’ll probably come in a few minutes later.]
“What?”
Big news bursts following the news that the main character of the original story has become Alpha. I knew they’d come, but I didn’t know they’d come all of a sudden.
As soon as Chairman Seong’s words fell, there was a bang on the gate.
“Hey! Seong Chan-young! You’re here, aren’t you?”
‘This is a voice I’ve never heard of.’
If it was a gong that I haven’t meet, it was either Chae Yoon-chan or Yoo Yi-seo. If this was faithful to the description of the original, the boy-like voice was sure to be Chae Yoon-chan.
Eventually, I stood up from my seat without even having a bite of ajumma’s delicious soy sauce marinated crab.
“Seo Eun-soo, I should go out to the gate with you.”
The odd part-time job period is over. The time has come to send Cinderella to the princes.
⚝ ⚝ ⚝
With a reverent and solemn mind, Chan-young held a hoe in both hands that could break the head of the gongs and a broom that would slap him in the face.
With a serious look like a general going to war, Seo Eun-soo thought Chan-young was very interesting.
‘Even though I’m an Alpine, he doesn’t try to make me work separately.’
Seo Eun-soo had somewhat abnormal powers even when he was omega. It became more powerful as he presented as an alpha.
It was strong enough that he could throw the alphas away if any of them approached Chan-young directly. So Seo Eun-soo knew that Chan-young would ask him to find the home address and drive away the alpha that was coming.
– We need to talk about it. I hope Seo Eun-soo can help me with that.
However, Seong Chan-young did not want physical help from Seo Eun-soo. He just let him know that the gongs liked him and asked for his cooperation so that they could return calmly.
‘Why such a bothersome job?’
It was a countermeasure that was not well understood by Seo Eun-soo.
Seong Chan-young had a lot of money. He doesn’t have to worry about money for the rest of his life. It stood at the peak of abundance that could not be compared to Seo Eun-soo.
Money could attract a lot of things. Money could have a person’s affinity, relationships, and even an empty shell of love, even if it was false.
However, the former praise was bittersweet. Even though he had a lot of money, his family neglected him, his favorite alphas hated him, and Seo Eun-soo, who had little, was jealous of him for his superior character.
The sacrament at that time was really ugly. He tried to ruin Seo Eun-soo’s life in order to have unearned love. Swimming under the huge illusion that he could be loved by alphas who liked Seo Eun-soo.
How can you have something that I can’t have so easily!
Chae Yoon-chan? Yoo Yi-seo? Joo Tae-kang? It was the day when I didn’t know how many times I confessed to him. Seong Chan-young dragged Baek Do-jun to come to Seo Eun-soo’s house and poured out tears he didn’t want to see.
– I hate you. I hate you so much for not appreciating it even though you easily win love. How does it feel to have such good men hanging on to you? Do you feel as if you’re stepping on a cloud of happiness?
I didn’t want to see Seong Chan-young crying and complaining in front of Seo Eun-soo. It was funny to cry like the most pitiful victim in the world.
‘Who actually has it all?’
Just as Seong Chan-young envied Seo Eun-soo and burned his inferiority complex, Seo Eun-soo hated him in turn.
His parents are alive, he has a great background, with a strong grandfather and a chaebol family.
I hate to admit it, but the fact that he was born with a handsome face proves that he has nothing to regret.
Yes, Seo Eun-soo did not like Seong Chan-young.
He hates him.
He had affirmed that he would never see him doing well in his life. He almost did, actually.
It was until Seong Chan-young, who was suddenly living, brought a large flower basket, a huge amount of compensation, and a memorandum promising to ban access.
“……Why are you acting like a person is dead and awake?”
I couldn’t understand. The check given by Seong Chan-young was taken care of and hid deep inside the house. The desire to put it in the bank raised his head, but he endured it because he wanted to protect his pride.
‘If I save this money, he might ask me to pay interest later.’
Seong Chan-young was vicious. He seemed to be a person who was tired of bullying Seo Eun-soo, from childish to dirty and cheap acts.
It wasn’t a human cub. He was a rich, easy-to-use beast.
‘This must be insulting and mocking me, too. I won’t fall for it.’
After Seong Chan-young’s sudden suspicious visit, Seo Eun-soo raised his guard. He even prepared a baseball bat to knock out the person who was ordered to kidnap him.
……but nothing happened.
Even if the date of the calendar changed suddenly, Seong Chan-young did not appear in front of Seo Eun-soo. It seemed that Seong Chan-young did not approach the four unrequited alphas, who strangely “accidentally” encountered Seo Eun-soo.
What was even more interesting was the fact that the alphas began to be agitated when Seong Chan-young, who was apparently sick, disappeared.
Seo Eun-soo carefully watched Alpha Net approaching under the guise of friends, sponsors, and regular customers. Unlike usual, they are out of touch.
They were often absent-minded, or showed eyes that were out of focus while talking to Seo Eun-soo.
‘Have they moved their interest?’
Seo Eun-soo sensitively caught such a change. It was for one reason that he, a dominant omega, was keen to capture the atmosphere but pretended not to know the affection of the alpha.
‘I don’t like Alpha’s attention.’
Age of equality. Modern society where Omega’s human rights are guaranteed as much as Alpha’s and Beta’s. On the surface, it was very peaceful.
However, if you look into it in detail, discrimination against traits remained just as humans discriminated against each other and treated them as monkeys in zoos due to race in the past.
For example, enthusiasm is inferior to dominant traits, and compared to alpha, the image of omega was like a weak, soft animal that had to be protected.
Humans born with omega were inevitably sensitive to the feelings others sent to them. They had to constantly suffer from affection they didn’t want.
The same was true of Seo Eun-soo. Omega, who is poor, has grandparents, and has a pretty face, has been coveted since childhood.
Seo Eun-soo became hardened under the threat of pervert cubs who couldn’t even remember his face. His heart is hardened. The young man, who thinks positively, tries to live well, and tries to survive the needy reality, was heartbroken.
“Seong Chan-young’s eyes were clear as usual when we met for the last time when he apologized.”
A transparent, straight look. It was very different from before when it was twisted, ugly, and cloudy.
What’s different? I didn’t know, but I was curious. It was a shame that we would never see each other again.
When I wanted to live without encountering him forever, a person called Seong Chan-young’s secretary contacted me.
[Young master wants to hire you.]
