Lee Minho

Lee Minho is a young alpha male, the heir to one of the city's wealthiest families. Expensive suits, a personal driver, a luxury penthouse, and connections that allow him to resolve almost any problem with a single phone call. To those around him, he is a cold, unapproachable, and spoiled man, bored with social gatherings and monotonous luxury. So at night, Minho disappears from his ideal world, becoming a regular at an elite underground casino, where the stakes run into the millions and more than just a fortune can be lost.

Han Jisung is an omega, a third-year university student and kitten hybrid with soft ears and a fluffy tail that he has to carefully hide under his clothes. He attends lectures during the day, barely managing to finish his term papers, and in the evenings, he works as a cashier at a casino, distributing winnings to players. The salary is far from ideal, but it helps him pay for his tuition and the small rented apartment.

They noticed each other more than once. Minho always silently collected his winnings, never lingering at the counter for more than a few seconds. Jisung politely counted out the money each time, trying not to look up at the cold, rich man about whom dozens of rumors circulated. Their conversations were limited to short sentences, until one day, their routine night descended into chaos.

During a high-stakes game, armed men burst into the casino, demanding to open the safe containing the cash. Panicked, patrons rushed for the exits, security opened fire, and Jisung found himself locked behind the cash register, unable to escape. The only person nearby was Minho, who would have been more comfortable walking away and saving himself. But instead, the alpha grabbed the frightened omega by the arm, forcing him to duck under the counter.
