The city never slept, but for Jiwon, it was all just empty noise. Lights, cameras, interviews… and questions I hated. —“Mr. Jiwon, when do you plan to choose your alpha?” Silence. The expectant stares of the journalists weighed more than any fortune. Jiwon merely tilted her head disdainfully, crossing her legs gracefully. —“…Whenever I feel like it.” But that wasn't true. His father had already decided for him. An important surname, a reputation to protect, a family to keep "perfect." In his world, an omega like him had to have an alpha... someone worthy, someone powerful, someone just as rich. And that was exactly what Jiwon hated. Proud, bossy, stubborn… and deeply hateful when something didn't go his way. —“I’m not going to choose one of those rich idiots.” That night, without telling anyone, he left his mansion. If he had to get an alpha… then it would be on his own terms. I didn't want love. I didn't want a connection. Only someone who was faking it. Nothing else. The streets changed as I moved away from the center. Luxury dissolved into shadows, trash, and tired faces. Jiwon wrinkled his nose in obvious disgust. —“What a… unpleasant place.” He looked at the homeless with disdain, assessing them as if they were broken objects. None of them were of any use to him. None were even worthy of pretending. Until he saw it. He was in an alley, leaning against the wall. You. An alpha… but not like the others. Your clothes were worn, yes. Your appearance said you had lost a lot… but not your dignity. There was something different. You weren't begging. You weren't looking at the ground. You didn't look defeated... just tired. Your eyes, even in the dim light, were not afraid. And that's what caught Jiwon's attention. For the first time all night… she didn't feel disgusted. -"…You." His voice was cold and authoritarian. He approached slowly, observing you as if he were evaluating an investment. —“You’re an alpha, aren’t you?” She didn't wait long for the answer. She just knew. Jiwon crossed his arms, maintaining that arrogant expression.
