The bustling movements and voices heard in the living room stopped with the sound of the front door closing.
smart.
"come in."
The door to the study was opened, and Jihoon entered. He had another cigarette in his mouth.
"You get the timing right. I could have taken it out two more times."
Unfortunately.
Ji-gyeom, who was sitting at his desk, checking the data and CT from the American research institute, turned around and looked at Ji-hoon. Jihoon, who was wearing a shower robe as soon as he washed it, was looking for his glasses again, unlike before.
The atmosphere changed a bit when a man who looked like Ji-gyeom wore glasses as if they were one person. Jihoon's eyes are slightly smaller and the corners of his eyes are raised, giving him a sharper impression than Jigyeom.
"Why are you always here, leaving your older brother at home? Besides, in my name... ."
"Are you asking because you don't know? Who I was years ago... . Idol, that... . Anyway, he almost broke his leg when he was caught by his father."
Why can't you remember that? What happened to my father because of Gu Ji-hoon, who doesn't care if it's an Omega or a Beta, but a woman. Because of that, I was delayed in getting a specialist because I had to temporarily stop my residency in the US and returned to Korea.
Is that all? His father, who was worried about Jihoon, who has a fiancée, got involved in gossip, even told the idol girl that the man you met was not Jihoon, but Jigyeom. Since then, Jigyeom has been engulfed in scandals as a sample of the promiscuous Royal Alpha. Until now.
"So, please… ."
Seeing Jihoon taking a deep breath again, Jigyeom frowned and got up and approached him.
"You said My house is non-smoking."
Ji-gyeom, who is slightly taller even though they are twins, lowered his eyes and took the cigarette from Ji-hoon's hand.
"Uh-huh, I'm afraid. Sorry. I want to smoke a little more before marriage. sex too. I have to go all-in with Sohee for at least a month. I am still newlywed."
𝑀𝑒𝑒 Ji-gyeom's eyes grew more bitter as he saw Ji-hoon smiling over and over for what was funny. Jihoon didn't notice, but Jigyeom's right hand was trembling.
"really… are you going to get married? Surely 5 years ago to me... ."
Even though Jigyeom knew everything, he just wanted to check it again. Jihoon's sincerity.
"That's it, I said it because I didn't want to be bound by one Omega. I still don't like it... Well, if my father is black, then I will."
Jigyeom's eyebrows twitched.
"And honestly. Sohee, you're a little clumsy. I haven't tried Royal Omega yet."
"What… ? bro, are you... ."
No matter how old he is, Ji-hoon added to Ji-gyeom, who is working hard to suppress the urge to hit the motherfucker in front of him.
"Don't you think it would be fun?"
"what."
"No, he's just blindfolded. With those big eyes dripping with tears, Jihoon oppa, please stop. It hurts, please... . If you're just begging like this, it's really awesome... . her. I stood."
"… pup."
"Pahaha! What, have you still not forgotten Sohee? Is this your first love? Forget about it now. This is the woman who will become your sister-in-law."
Jigyeom turned around and sat down at the desk again as if it wasn't worth listening to any more. His anger swelled up and his back shivered, but he endured it. He had to put up with it now.
"Shut up, get out now. I have to work."
"Yes, yes, our old doctor. Executive Vice President, I will leave you alone."
Jihoon spoke with a smirk, and instead of trying to pick up my jacket that I had taken off in the study, he changed his expression and opened his mouth again.
"If you're sad, you weren't born two minutes earlier."
kut. Also, with that eerie laugh, Jihoon disappeared out of the study.
bang. Jigyeom, who even heard the sound of the front door closing, hit the desk with his fist a few times. Still unable to relieve his anger, he muttered a low swear word and took a deep breath.
At that time, as if thinking of something, Jigyeom pulled out a yellow-green pill from his pocket and looked at it carefully. It was the inhibitor that he took out from his brother Jihoon's jacket pocket a while ago.
a little bit. Okay, let's wait a little longer. Now, we're almost there.
Ji-gyeom held Ji-hoon's pill as if it was about to crumble in his hand, and looked at the research results on the monitor.
So-hee and Ji-hoon's wedding is now D-14.
***
An officetel in Gwanghwamun where Yoo-jeong lives. Sohee brewed warm citron tea for her struggling friend.
"Yoojung, try drinking this first… . Did you eat dinner?"
With a swollen face, Yoojung shook her head as if she didn't even have the energy to answer. As Sohee repeatedly suggested, she put her mouth on the cup and took a sip of tea.
"when… okay… ?"
"This morning. You know, my menstrual cycle is correct. At most, it's only two or three days late, but this time it's over two weeks late... . I went to the gynecologist because two lines came up on the pregnancy test... ."
I don't know what to say. Neither hasty consolation nor worrying will help. Sohee just concentrated and listened to my friend.
"Usually, they said that it would be impossible to see a baby's house or a pregnant sac at this level. But you know... it's sohee baby… That little thing made my heart race."
6 weeks pregnant. It's already 0.43 cm.
Yoojung handed me the ultrasound picture she was holding in her hand. There was a very small circle inside the black nursery that looked like a heart.
cry. As soon as she looked at the picture, strangely, Sohee also burst into tears. My heart was beating hard. That pathetic little life that bloomed in my friend's stomach is precious and it hurts my heart. However, the cry that was about to come out gripped her teeth and swallowed it inside, and she wrapped her arms around Yoo-jeong's thin, trembling shoulders.
"Yoo Jung-ah… that… Did you tell your boyfriend? Even before marriage and even if that person is an alpha. The person I'm dating is pregnant, and there's no way I can say that I don't know."
In fact, the man Yoo-jeong is dating, Ji-gyeom Gu, is the twin brother of So-hee's fiancee, Ji-hoon Gu. Even though she was close to her family, she didn't know much about him, so Sohee didn't deliberately ask Yoojung any more. However, I heard from her fiance Jihoon that the man studied alone in the United States since elementary school and recently obtained a nuclear medicine specialist.
Even though Jihoon and Jihoon are fraternal twins, they have almost identical appearance and voice to the point that everyone mistakenly thinks they are identical twins. Come to think of it, I do remember seeing him a few times as a child, but most of it remains a blurry scene. Probably because all the adults consciously kept Sohee and Jihoon alone together.
Since there is no idiot to tell the bad story of the Benon family to Sohee, who has been Benon's fiancée almost all her life, she did not know the details of Jigyeom's rumors floating around. She only knew that her relationships with women were a little complicated. But if she's dating Yoojung, maybe she's sorted that out.
There are many people who are sexually promiscuous due to the nature of Alpha, which can easily seduce Omega with pheromone. Even so, he came from the Royal Alpha and Omega family, and there was no way he could continue to act like that without considering his reputation. Rumors may be false. And above all else, isn't he Jihoon's younger brother? If he resembles Jihoon, in reality, he is a neat, polite, and good person. So, Yoojung must have been dating that person for over a year.
eating. Yoojung let out a self-helpful laugh as if sneering at those words.
"man… friend?"
A little embarrassed, Sohee looked at her friend.
"Sohee… Do you know why I can't contact him?"
Well. In response to Sohee's worried answer, Yoojung said with a look like she was about to cry again.
"I only contact you on Thursdays."
"… what? what is that... ?"
Sohee couldn't understand Yoojung's words.
"That's the man… it's a rule If I call first on a day other than the set day, our relationship is over. Other days of the week, there's another woman... ."
Sohee's face contorted in shock. The words coming out of my friend's mouth sounded like alien language.
"Wait a minute, Yoojung. What I'm hearing now... . Does that mean that person has another woman besides you?"
"Not a woman… girls. Every day, it's different."
huh. Sohee unwittingly covered her mouth with her two hands, who had almost screamed at her.
"I know him well. Even if I was pregnant, I wouldn't blink an eye. I'm the one who's going to take you to the hospital right away. me… But I want to have this child. Sohee, how are you... ?"
Sohee hugged her friend who was crying again and stroked her back. I can't even say that it's going to be okay, and even telling me to be strong seems so light. Sohee couldn't say anything and held Yoojung, who was taller than herself, deeply in her arms and read through it.
"I will be by your side. Whatever decision you make, I'll be there. I'll help. I will definitely be by your side."
Sohee just repeated those words. It was just a word, but it was sincere. It was Sohee's best.
To be honest, I kept trying to get bitter. Why did she keep meeting such a person like an idiot. Did you just like being treated like that? A smart, pretty, and wonderful person like you, what the hell is wrong with you... .
"It's Sohee. If I were an Omega, if I was a Royal Omega like you... Did that person think of me as special?"
Not as much as the Beta girl we meet on Thursday.
Seeing Yoo-jeong's frank question and shaking wet eyes, Sohee kept her mouth shut. It felt like I had been hit in the head with her hammer.
As the only beta in the family where all members are alpha and omega, she knew that the stress she had received from her parents was enormous. She never felt sad or hated the fact that she was Yu-jeong, she never said that she herself was a beta though. She had high self-esteem and she was always bright, a friend with a lot to learn.
Gu Ji-gyeom... . Jihoon's twin brother. In an instant, Sohee's anger against the man rose up. How could he hurt a friend who was tougher and nicer than anyone else? It's a life we made together, but you insist on a relationship that's so messed up that you can't even tell the truth. selfish and the worst
Alpha and Omega are inevitably drawn to instinct, but many people like Sohee and Jihoon suppress them and live in moderation. To protect the dignity of oneself and the group to which one belongs. That's not all. Furthermore, it is to ensure that no one else is harmed by an animal-like behavior that is faithful only to instinct. Responsibility as a member of this society and culture as a citizen. A person who is completely devoid of that. Why is my friend having such a hard time because of someone like that?
He was the kind of person Sohee hated the most. Even if you are someone who will soon become a family member. She is her husband's brother, but she was terrible.
Tired of crying, Yoojung finally fell asleep.
'I should have slept in bed... .'
I wanted to move them to my room, but there was no way. So-hee chewed her soft flesh in her mouth as she brought her blanket and covered her as she lay on her sofa, gently stroking her Yoo-jeong's hair. angry It was the first feeling that Sohee experienced as a person who was always generous with everyone and basically trusted and loved people. How can a person be so hated? Besides, people I don't know well.
Sohee really hated this guy named Gu Ji-gyeom.
