On the other hand, Jio, with the full support and encouragement of his parents, was studying at the Department of Theater and Film at a Korean University. However, he recently got into an accident. He hit Alpha’s kid, who was his classmate. Because of this, he had to take a sudden leave of absence from school, and now he’s preparing for marriage.
The problem arose when Jio found out about the pregnancy. Around the same time, his stepfather’s company went bankrupt, plunging them into a mountain of debt. It turned out his stepfather had gotten involved in illegal loans, worsening their situation. As a result, his stepfather’s health deteriorated rapidly due to stress, landing him in the hospital.
Jio’s mother was currently taking care of his stepfather, and Jio was taking a break because of the pregnancy. So, Do-hwa had to take a leave of absence and step in to help pay off Jio’s wedding expenses and debts. Through an introduction from a businessman Jio knew, he decided to leave the factory where he worked, which had dormitories. The promise they made earlier in the evening was to interview the owner of that factory.
Now, on top of taking a leave of absence due to the debts, he might even have to drop out of school. He felt like cutting off all ties completely, but… Still, Do-hwa couldn’t abandon his family.
To become a recessive Omega in the midst of such despair…
He was feeling like he needed to do something; even if it meant taking suppressants and pretending to be a Beta, he knew he had to get into the factory somehow. The situation felt suffocating. He had heard that the factory was uncomfortable for Omegas to work in.
After finishing his bath, Do-hwa entered the washroom. However, his phone, which he had put in the cabinet, along with the clothes he had placed in the basket, were missing. While he could understand if the clothes were taken for laundry, he couldn’t figure out why the phone was gone. Although it had a lock pattern, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy, especially considering that guy, Cha Min-jun, wasn’t exactly normal.
Amidst the confusion, Do-hwa heard Min-jun’s voice from outside the door.
“Seonbae, are you done showering?”
“Why?”
His sudden appearance made Do-hwa’s chest feel cold, and he tensed up at the same time.
“It’s just that your phone has been ringing non-stop since earlier.”
“What?”
“You’ve been getting calls from someone named Na Jio.”
“Whoa.”
Do-hwa hastily opened the washroom door and, at the same time, locked eyes with Min-jun holding the phone. Min-jun appeared quite surprised, but Do-hwa’s gaze was fixed on the screen. Calls were coming in urgently. Do-hwa swiftly snatched the phone from Min-jun’s hand, then closed the washroom door again before answering the call.
“Hello? Hyung?”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Do-hwa spoke into the phone, but there was no response, as if the call had been disconnected. Instead, a text message came through.
<What are you doing by ignoring my calls?
I’ve scheduled the meeting with Kim-ssi for next Wednesday.
I can’t make calls anymore, so keep that in mind.>

“Did you finish the call, seonbae?”
“Yeah…”
“Did someone say they kidnapped someone and asked for money to be deposited?”
“What? That’s not voice phishing. It’s a call from my brother.”
Do-hwa’s meaningless response drew Min-jun’s gaze to his head. His hair was wet, indicating he had showered in a different bathroom, and his clothes were also lighter. With a peculiar expression, Min-jun scanned Do-hwa from head to toe.
“Seonbae, you’ll catch a cold like this.”
“What are you talking about… Oh!”
Do-hwa felt the blood rush to his face in an instant. With his mind focused on the phone, he only just realized that he was practically naked. He quickly grabbed the gown hanging on the rack and put it on. Although he had already exposed himself to Min-jun before, it was due to the heat cycle, and now, in a clear state of mind, he felt embarrassed. Being a Beta might have made him less sensitive, but as an Omega, he was more conscious of such things.
“You can pick up your clothes in the dressing room.”
Min-jun signaled Do-hwa to follow him. Do-hwa hurried to follow, eager to cover up his body as quickly as possible.

While Do-hwa was getting dressed, Min-jun returned to the washroom. He picked up Do-hwa’s phone from the sink. Despite the lock pattern, he skillfully unlocked it as if he already knew it, then meticulously checked the messages and chats. His eyes gradually sharpened. He eventually returned the phone to its original position and came out. He stared into space, sitting on the sofa.

“Ah, I can’t avoid this. Really.”
Do-hwa muttered as he stood in front of the bedroom door, fanning himself with his hand. The heat was relentless, and he kept sweating. Honestly, he wanted to avoid Min-jun, but attempting to escape seemed futile and would likely only make things awkward. He had to face Min-jun eventually. Do-hwa entered the bedroom, stealing himself.
Then, as they sat on the couch, Min-jun and Do-hwa’s eyes met directly. Do-hwa’s cheeks, already flushed with anger, became even redder.
“Your clothes look good on you.”
Min-jun smiled as if nothing was wrong. It seemed like he was being considerate, knowing that Do-hwa felt embarrassed. Come to think of it, it was always like this. Whenever he made a small mistake, Min-jun would act like nothing happened or change the subject. In this way, Do-hwa often felt his maturity.
“But… you looked even prettier when you took it all off.”
What? Even prettier? Do-hwa had a frightening thought. Did it mean that if they lived together from now on, he’d have to be naked all the time?
While Do-hwa was still in shock, Min-jun got up from the couch and approached. Do-hwa felt the shadow of Min-jun’s figure looming over him, making him tense up. He became nervous, wondering if this guy was trying to undress him right now. He quickly crossed his arms in an ‘X’ shape and tightly shut his eyes.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t…”
Before Do-hwa could finish his sentence, he felt a soft and fluffy sensation descend on his head. He was startled as he opened his eyes to check. It was a dry towel. Min-jun had draped it over him.
“Just stay still.”
He began to gently shake the towel around as if wrapping it. His movements seemed to indicate that he was drying his hair. Do-hwa lowered his arms and questioned, with a hint of asking if he should dry his own hair.
“Where’s the hairdryer?”
“It’s on the vanity. Since I’m going to dry your hair, sit here, seonbae.”
He pointed to the single sofa.
“I’ll get the hairdryer.”
With a light command, he headed towards the vanity. It seemed like he was determined to dry Do-hwa’s hair himself, no matter what. Do-hwa felt awkward but couldn’t think of a suitable way to refuse, so he sat on the couch for now.
Shortly after, Min-jun began to dry Do-hwa’s hair with the hairdryer. He was so skilled that he seemed like a hairdresser.

[Yuri, is Min-jun doing well?]
“Yes. He’s doing well.”
Yuri, wearing Bluetooth earphones, answered while looking at his phone placed on the desk in the clinic room. The screen displayed ‘Hyena Noona,’ indicating the ongoing call.
[Well, that’s a relief. Hasn’t it been almost a year since Min-jun went to Korea?]
“That’s right.”
[How’s Min-jun’s health? Any signs of mania?]
“It seems like there are hardly any.”
[When he was in the United States, even with all the treatment, it didn’t work at all… I thought something was seriously wrong with my only son.]
“His condition improved rapidly after he entered the hospital in Korea.”
[As expected, an Omega is important to an Alpha.]
Her voice was noticeably subdued. Yuri also let out a small sigh.
“I feel like things might get complicated in the future…”
[Yuri, I’m sorry, but I have an important schedule today, so I think I need to go to the shop now. Please take care of Min-jun then.]
She ended the call abruptly. Yuri frowned as he stared at the screen, indicating the call had ended.
“Maybe she’ll meet her future daughter-in-law.”
He muttered under his breath as he looked at the phone that had just ended the call.

“Haa…”
Do-hwa sighed as he lay down on the bed. The pajamas he was wearing felt so comfortable and soft that it made his feelings even more complicated.
Min-jun, who had dried Do-hwa’s hair earlier, didn’t stop there. He applied skin care products and lotion to Do-hwa’s face. Then he prepared a meal, which was abalone samgyetang. He shyly mentioned that it wasn’t delivery but something he made himself.
After having spent the whole day together at the hospital and taking considerable time pretending to be a couple while rearranging the interior, Do-hwa found it confusing as to when Min-jun had managed to prepare the samgyetang. He marveled at Min-jun’s incredible stamina and started with the drumsticks of the samgyetang. Although he had eaten samgyetang a few times in his life, it was the first time he had tasted something so delicious. He even wondered if Min-jun had mixed in some drugs. As he ate, he quickly finished two bowls.
Apart from Min-jun’s annoying behavior, the meal itself was delicious, so Do-hwa felt grateful. Therefore, he offered to do the dishes but was declined. Min-jun insisted that Do-hwa could make himself at home, whether it was exploring the house or taking a nap, as he pleased.
In the end, Do-hwa sat on the living room couch and watched TV. However, his attention was focused on Min-jun in the kitchen.
But perhaps the couch was too comfortable. Or maybe it was post-meal drowsiness creeping in. His eyelids grew heavier, and eventually, as he was sitting down, his eyes closed. He drifted off to sleep for a while. When he woke up, Min-jun was sitting next to him, offering his shoulder for support.
‘Ah… s-sorry.’
‘No need to apologize. Oh, there’s some drool.’
‘What?’
Min-jun’s hand quickly reached his mouth in the moment of Do-hwa’s embarrassment as he tried to wipe it away. Do-hwa’s face turned red with embarrassment, and his body froze.
good for him though..I wish I could get a psychopath boyfriend too 😗
GURL.. 💀💀💀

This story is great, the tension ramps up…
The guy is definitely completely mental.
Also thanks for loading lots of chapters as the plot unfolds slowly and easy to loose rhythm of the story.
I don’t mind having a psycho boyfriend or husband as long as he never harms me 😮💨
