Every moment i have is filled with Choi Taegyeom. Since i was born, no! Even before i was born until now he and i have a strong bond. Our parents who have been friends since high school live next door, it would be weird if we weren't friends.

Choi Taegyeom is a beautiful little boy. He had a small head, round eyes and pale skin. Even though we were the same age, I felt that I needed to protect him.

My was of appreciating Choi Taegyeom became very unusual. We go to and from school everyday and do everything together. He complained several times saying i was overprotective, though he didn't seem to hate it. He would wake me up every morning, and was jealous when i was with other friends.

The problem is that he began to avoid me after he manifested as Alpha. First he went to school without my knowledge, then he ran away from me openly. We were separated from each other for some reason and it lasted until grade two middle school.

How did i feel at that time? I think i feel lost, not angry. The fact that people who chase me no longer need me, so it's not fun to get along with anyone. Suddenly i though that the reason he avoided me because i'm beta.

Why i haven't manifested? Obviously he avoided me because i was not Alpha. An beta that hasn't been manifested! But those days ended sooner than expected.

It was the day i went to school a little earlier to do picket. I felt a kind of tension in the bathroom that i went to. I opened every bathroom door with anxiety and at the last tightly closed door, i met an unexpected person.

"Choi Taegyeom?"

Choi Taegyeom is a mess. His hair was disheveled and his uniform was half open. Has my little friend and precious, felt so strange? I can't forget the moment when the man sitting in the toilet looked at me with a blurry eyes.

"…Lee Yoonwoo"

My gaze fixed between the slightly open pants. He knows i'm looking at him but he doesn't stop me. No, it's true he doesn't have the energy to do that.

The mop i was holding fell helplessly. I can also hear the bathroom door closed with a squeak. Instead of asking questions, i fixed Choi Taegyeom clothes. I buttoned his clothes and pants, and carefully hugged his small body.

"It's okay"

I can feel what happened to him. Why he can't refuse? And why did he just sit without thinking about asking for help.

It is said that this is something that is usually experienced by Alpha which is the initial manifestation. Unable to control pheromone, revealed it and accidentally made Omega to become passionate. Choi Taegyeom is dominant Alpha and his pheromones are strong enough even for an Omega who is not directly affected. That day, he said that Omega who was after him was a senior from grade three.

"I hate Omega!"

His back was wet and i could feel the sadness from his small body in my arms trembling. While avoiding me, he seemed to know what he was experiencing.

"I really hate it!!"

It's sad to see anger mixed with tears. Feeling helpless because can't escape, revenge for appearance and a little shame. The fact that he is rut with Omega seems more unfair that the fact that he is harassed. Just like Omega responds to Alpha pheromone. Alpha responds to Omega pheromone is an unavoidable physiological phenomenon.

Choi Taegyeom held his breath and cried for a long time. Until the other students enter the bathroom several times and the bell rings to start the lesson. After how long time the man passed speaking in a low voice.

"I'm glad you're beta"

After that day, Choi Taegyeom and i returned to normal. Not that slightly different from before. I protected his too much, and he count on me. As an Beta, I can't feel the pheromone. In time, I grew faster than my friends so i'm very good supporter for Choi Taegyeom.

I think I'm lucky even though i feel sorry for him but i like the fact that i'm his only supporter. I'm also satisfied that Choi Taegyeom doesn't have to try so hard to control his pheromone while by my side to calm and protect him. The thingy that only i can do make me think that Choi Taegyeom always needs my protection.

"Are you getting taller again"?

But it didn't last long before I realized that this arrogance was wrong. That's because Choi Taekyeom grew gradually over time. At first like me, then bigger and different from me. He grew higher and his shoulders widened. Not only hands and legs grew bigger but he also learned how to control the pheromone. Even with his beautiful face, he now has a much stronger feeling.

"Oh yeah, it gets higher every time I measure it"

Choi Taegyeom is no longer in my grasp. The emptiness that came without hesitation turned into impatience. I'm still a Beta and still a student, but I feel that Choi Taegyeom who grew up as an Alpha is getting further away.

"Now it's ok"

When I showed my impatience, Choi Taegyeom smiled casually and pressed my head down. He covered the top of his head with his big palms, and then the back of his head. It was clear that he had his own entertainment and the effect was negligible. Then a friendly smack landed on my shoulder but providing only a moment's relief wasn't a solution.

Worse, Choi Taegyeom became more popular. But at least he wasn't being followed by Omega like before and the number of people who were blushing at him was increasing. And in high school, there's a pretty high probability that there's a letter on his desk every morning.

"You got another letter"

I like and don't like. As long as he's safe, that's fine in my opinion. But I'm afraid he'll avoid me like he used to. Beta that he competent and looks like he'll leave me without hesitation when he doesn't need me anymore.

"Very annoying...."

But Choi Taegyeom didn't avoid me or make friends with other people. I just looked at the letter on his desk and furrowed my brows.

"Hey, don't squeeze it"

On the contrary, i am ashamed of his actions. Choi Taegyeom threw the crumpled letter in the trash and i looked at the empty trash can with a confused expression. The only letter in the blue trash can.

"I feel sorry for the person who kept the letter"

I mumbled a bit and he just smiled. Then he sat down next to me grumbling a little.

"They leave a lot of pheromones in the letter. It's very annoying, I don't like it"

Even though we are 19 years old, Choi Taegyeom cannot escape the trauma. Whenever Omega passed by, he frowned and if he accidentally came into contact with Omega he would wash his hands like crazy. And also because of his trauma to Omega that he refuses or confesses to anyone.

"Oh.. Pheromone"

That's when i felt weird, i wasn't satisfied with the fact that i was a Beta. But sometimes i feel good that I'm not Omega. As a Beta, I can protect his and I can be by his side now that I'm not an Omega.

"Lee Yoonwoo, you don't know what pheromone are like..."

Choi Taegyeom avoided my gaze slightly embarrassed. He lowered his eyes slightly, embarrassed by the displeasure in his eyes.

"Pheromones stick easily, even if just passing through so i can smell them even when i hold my breath"

"...Hmmm"

It's hard to understand. Because i'm Beta, and I've never felt Pheromones but i know that it will be difficult to get through everyday life like this.

"Wouldn't it be better to fix it? The Problem with Pheromone"

"Why?"

Choi Taegyeom asked the bullshit and he looked at me calmly and winked.

"What needs to be fixed?" That's what he said, his voice sounded soft but slightly angry

"It's just a matter of not meeting Omega, I don't need to fix it"

After saying that, Choi Taegyeom leaned forward on the table and closed his eyes. I looked at the back and sighed.

"You know I didn't mean it like that"

Then i gently stroked his head, it's the same thing he does when comforting me.

"I am worried. You will meet Omega all your life... And you can't avoid it every time it happens"

"It's much better"

Judging from the answer he said, it seemed his anger had been contained. Actually, Choi Taegyeom wasn't wrong. Unlike in middle school, when he saw Omega he had a seizure but now Choi Taegyeom is much better. He still had a stern expression on his face, but he was neither scared nor running. Rather, it was more like a feeling of disgust.

I thought i would make a mistake if i said more, so i just nodded silently. I kept stroking his head, Choi Taegyeom didn't say anything and buried his face in his arms but his ears looked a little red.

"Taegyeom, do you have a fever?"

When he was a child he would suddenly have a fever. Now he's bigger than me, but at a time like this it looks different from his small and frail old self. Of course that was something i didn't know.

"Get some rest, I'll wake you up when the teacher comes"

After saying that i still stroked his head and Choi Taegyeom didn't answer me then turned his head to the opposite side.

It was a peaceful time. Choi Taegyeom wasn't Omega target and even though i didn't need to protect him we were still friends.

"I'm glad i'm not Omega"

These meaningless words were not heard by Choi Taegyeom. Actually those words don't matter, the fact that he hates Omega has nothing to do with me. But that winter, i manifested as Omega.
