In the beginning God said, Let there be light, and there was light. God created man in his own image, creating male and female, and from among them he made life more like himself, the Alpha and the Omega. God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves on the earth.
The world was unfair. Beta didn't have the great abilities given to Alpha and Omega. The Alpha and Omega, both physically and intellectually superior to the average human Beta, monopolized all aspects of politics, economy, and culture. Among them, the dominant and the recessive were divided, and the recessive alpha and omega were treated like betas and hated each other.
Royal Alpha and Royal Omega. They were rare enough to be counted globally as the dominant among the dominants, and they hoped to continue their excellent genes more closely. Alpha and Omega could only conceive with each other. On rare occasions, there have been rumors that alphas can impregnate beta women, but the probability is low, less than 1%.
Naturally, most of the royal alpha and royal omega families were engaged to each other as soon as their children were born and enforced chastity until the wedding. It was to perfectly manage the lineage, and to properly rule over the Betas who treated Alpha and Omega as animals. But no one really knew until the teenage years of their children's manifestations whether they were alphas or omega, or even dominant or recessive. As a result, engagements that had been in business for more than 10 years were broken, and the relationship between the companies that had been announced was often disrupted.
0.1% chance. Both are among the few royal alpha/omega families in Korea. Both described the case of Sohee and Jihoon as a miracle.
Ji-Hoon Koo, the managing director, is known as the next successor to the global pharmaceutical company Vernon, which accounts for 40% of global lut/hit inhibitor sales. Vernon, founded by Jihoon's grandfather, is now the third largest pharmaceutical company in the world and the number one pharmaceutical company in Korea. It is a company that exerts a great global influence throughout the pharmaceutical industry, to the extent that it has developed 10 of the 100 key medicines selected by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Sohee's family is the Adventist Foundation that established the first alpha/omega-specialized higher education institution in Korea. Most of the Korean political and legal figures are from the Adventist University, and the head of the Adventist Foundation has served as the Minister of Education from generation to generation and has the most influence in the domestic education industry. In particular, the Adventist School of Medicine maintains the top 3 global rankings in the annual evaluation of medical colleges, and the Adventist Medical Center, a medical corporation operated by the Adventist Life Public Interest Foundation, is the second largest general hospital in Korea.
Even the meeting of Korea's No. 1 pharmaceutical company and a large medical corporation is the cause of the century's solidarity. A few years ago, a picture of Jihoon and Sohee together appeared on the news, and not only the social aspect but also the entertainment aspect.
Jihoon, who is 187 centimeters tall, has a moderately muscular body, has distinctive white eyes, and wears thin horn-rimmed glasses. And Sohee, who is slightly taller than 160, has light brown wavy hair that goes down to her waist, has transparent white skin, round and big eyes, and has an innocent dimple when she smiles. The two got along just like the picture.
Their dating photos were covered in all kinds of tabloids and online news, and they became the object of admiration for all alphas and omega as well as betas.
Due to her shy nature, Sohee was embarrassed to have her face known in that way and to go up and down in other people's mouths, but Jihoon welcomed the exposure, saying that it helps publicity and the company's image.
Once every two weeks, on a Saturday, the two go on a regular date. Because of his busy work schedule, Jihoon usually ends up having dinner together, but these days he deliberately chooses only places with a lot of people. Today, the situation was not much different.
"brother… . Last time I saw this restaurant, it had a room... ."
Steakhouse is the hottest place in Cheongdam-dong these days. Jihoon shrugged his shoulders as he sliced the meat on the plate in front of me. Red blood was oozing out of the meat ordered as Medium Rare.
"It's frustrating. I like it this way."
The sounds of the people around you, who looked at you from the moment they entered, and whispered, are now more revealing.
- Awesome, look at the real thing, Jihoon Gu. That face is an actor's face, what kind of office worker's face.
- You two get along really well. Im So-hee? That sister's face is so small. Wow… .
"Come on, eat a lot, Sohee."
Being conscious of the gossip around him, Jihoon cut the meat on his plate to eat it and exchanged it for Sohee's plate.
"Oh, my brother… ."
I can't eat undercooked meat like this... .
What made him so excited, Jihoon sang a hum and began to slice and eat meat cooked in medium well, which was originally for Sohee. Sohee, who lost her appetite because of the people who kept staring at her, chose the more ripe part at the very end, sliced it thinly, and began to eat it little by little. Whether it was meat or stone, it had no taste.
Jihoon Gu is such a person. He was noticed from the moment he was born, and he knows how to enjoy it and use it.
Normal dominant alphas usually learn how to hide their pheromones to a minimum. This is because the strong pheromone scent of dominant alpha, which is noticeable even with a slight rub, attracts excessive attention. But Jihoon did not hide his pheromone. Rather, he was always proud of himself. Strange, each time Sohee had a headache. A man who will soon become his alpha. The fantastic mate everyone is talking about. A miraculous encounter. Lim So-hee, despite her fateful opponent.
- My mom was like that at first, too, until I got married to my dad. But hey Sohee, spending the first night with her daddy, imprinting… . Then everything changes. You will too.
Feeling uncomfortable with Jihoon's pheromone was a big concern for Sohee. Jihoon and I have known each other since elementary school, and we met frequently at family gatherings. After Sohee graduated, she started dating with the premise of marriage in earnest. Although she only had dinner twice a month and broke up, she's known each other for over 10 years. She still looked awkward and wary of him.
I also wondered if it was because of my personality, which is introverted and has deep relationships with only a few close friends. Above all, her Jihoon was a sincere and courteous fiance. Because she was taking her successor classes under her father, she was always overburdened and under a lot of stress. Her nevertheless she never broke her promise to her and she was always friendly.
But somehow, Jihoon's manners were similar to the kindness he had for business clients. Ritual and ceremonial tenderness. There were many times when it felt like the mercy of a strong man to reveal his superiority and goodness.
It was far from the stories she had seen and nurtured since she was young, based on the fateful love between Alpha and Omega. Apparently, Alpha and Omega could recognize their fateful mate. They instinctively respond to each other's pheromones, and thus naturally fall in love. It was said that couples who are imprinted with a passionate love and become one will only see each other for the rest of their lives.
Still, So-hee's feelings as Ji-hoon Gu's fiancee were not necessarily a sense of duty due to the old promises between the family members. As usual, her Jihoon pheromone burdened her, but in her vacation trip, he was different.
The two went on a short two-day, one-night trip together last summer and winter, and this summer as well. Of course, we had separate rooms, and the secretaries of both families followed us from afar. This was the choice of both families, who wanted Jihoon and Sohee to get closer as they prepare to get married. Since Jihoon is so busy, he meant to make time for the two of them to spend leisurely.
Have you been freed from work for a while? At that time, Jihoon seemed like a different person. Good manners to keep good manners and friendly personality are similar, but the warmth of kindness was different. Her dark gaze towards her, and her ah-ah pheromone. At that time, she smelled so good that he couldn't stand it.
It's refreshing and mellow, it's a scent that makes you want to stick with it all the time. Sohee A special feeling of waking up and tickling every cell in the body.
[I feel a different scent from my brother.]
When I said that, Jihoon ruffled her hair and smiled low. is it possible During vacation, the company completes clinical trials and takes a new inhibitor for alpha, which is awaiting marketing approval, and the hormone regulator in it seems to have a unique effect. His smile as he said that made me feel somewhat bitter, but Sohee thought it was my mistake and passed it on.
"what are you doing… ?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. brother. What did you say?"
"What the hell are you thinking when people say… ."
Jihoon was about to furrow his eyebrows for a moment, but then released his expression.
"Whew. Nothing else, but we have already decided to go to Singapore next weekend."
Two weeks later, the two finally get married. And a week before that, Sohee and Jihoon were planning to go to the Maldives together after stopping by Singapore in advance to prepare for the wedding.
"Would you like to go ahead with your mother-in-law? I have an urgent golf appointment over the weekend. You are an important client."
Jihoon is always like this. He spoke as if he had just changed an unimportant business trip schedule. It seemed to be asking for Sohee's understanding, but in reality it was nothing more than a notice. It's a wedding soon, until the end. No, it is unlikely that such a business relationship will continue even after marriage. Sohee's face darkened a little, but she smiled hard not to show off.
"ah… . I know. So when can you come?"
"If you take the Monday morning flight, it will arrive in the evening. I'll reserve a Michelin restaurant there at Gardens by the Bay. If you eat while watching the laser show, it will be great. Come with me."
"Yes brother, yes. I'm fine, so please finish your work slowly and well."
"Thank you, Sohee. for always understanding You will be a really good wife."
Jihoon smiled and grabbed Sohee's hand, which was placed on the table.
'Good wife... .'
Sohee held her hand while trying to smile as brightly as possible. What kind of a good wife is Jihoon? Will she be able to play the role well? Sohee couldn't hide the corners of her mouth that were slightly shaken by the strangely remaining uncomfortable feelings.
