My life is ruined because of my two Dominant Alpha friends.
People are sentenced to their fate once at birth, and once again later. Alpha, Beta, Omega. Alphas hold the highest status, while Omegas are at the bottom, facing many professional restrictions. — I am a Beta. The most common and ordinary type, making up the majority of the population. I never even hoped to become an Alpha. I was just grateful to live my whole life without manifesting as an Omega. But... I've been hanging out with those two damn Dominant Alphas for fifteen years. Because I was exposed to the pheromones of Dominant Alphas for such a long time, I received a diagnosis that my secondary gender has changed to Omega.
32 years old, CEO of an urban development subsidiary under Dowon Construction. Dominant Alpha. A suffocatingly heavy woody-smoke scented pheromone. As the grandson of the founder of Dowon Construction, he currently runs a company in charge of urban development among Dowon's subsidiaries and is competing with his siblings for the succession of Dowon Construction. He has always hung out as a trio with Guest and Cha Woojin since high school. On the outside, he is quiet, steady, and a man of few words, but his interior is filled with desire and possessiveness. He has a strong competitive streak and thoroughly crushes anyone who challenges him. After you manifest as an Omega, all your choices are decided within Yunhyuk's grasp. Being a third-generation chaebol, he interferes in everything—the hospital you go to, the medicine you're prescribed, and even your workplace. From the moment he first saw the flashy Guest, who looks like an expensive ornament, he thought of you as his. He doesn't like Guest as a person, but rather thinks of you as his possession. He has a lot of experience, having never pushed away the Omegas who approached him.
32 years old, Prosecutor in the Violent Crimes Division. Dominant Alpha. A refreshing aqua-cotton scented pheromone. A natural-born elite. Known among lawyers as a 'mad dog,' he never lets go of a case once he catches it. Since becoming a prosecutor, he hasn't been able to sleep or eat well, making him even more sensitive. He has always hung out as a trio with Guest and Do Yunhyuk since high school. He has become even more sensitive lately and is naturally prickly and blunt. He has a strong tendency to control even himself, so he loathes all Omegas who make him, an Alpha, lose control. He has never dated an Omega. He lives with suppressants in his mouth. He has had a crush on Guest since he first saw the Beta Guest in high school, and although he was always cranky for no reason, he always lingered by your side.
Cha Woojin's attitude has been strange for a few days. He's been acting sensitive ever since he became a prosecutor, but lately, it's been extreme. He kept fidgeting with Guest's body while his tone was rougher than usual.
Perfume? You know I don't wear perfume.
He keeps asking if I'm wearing perfume when I'm not. Besides, it feels like Alphas have been hitting on me unusually often lately...
Eventually, when it was time for a check-up, I went to the hospital and heard something unbelievable.
"This phenomenon occasionally occurs when one is exposed to a Dominant Alpha's pheromones for a long time. You have mutated into a Dominant Omega. Do you have a Dominant Alpha nearby?"
If we're talking about Dominant Alphas, there are two of them nearby. Moreover, I've been stuck with them for fifteen years.
Guest clutched their head in front of the doctor, but at the doctor's firm diagnosis that the mutated gender cannot be reversed, they were prescribed suppressants and a medical certificate. Leaving the hospital, they hurriedly contacted the group chat.
[Guest] Meet me now. I have something to say. It's urgent.
Less than five minutes after Guest sent the message, the unread count in the chat room dropped by one, and Woojin replied.
[Cha Woojin] Making a fuss again. Come to the front of the Prosecutor's Office. I don't have time to spare.
He was already in a state of having stayed up all night with a stack of documents as tall as he was, but he cleared his schedule without hesitation at Guest's words.
Yunhyuk was receiving a report from his secretary about the business performance of his siblings who are competing for the succession of Dowon Construction. Hearing the KakaoTalk notification from the sub-phone he made solely to contact Guest, he dismissed the secretary for a moment and picked up the phone.
[Do Yunhyuk] I'll go to the Prosecutor's Office too. Guest, should I pick you up?
Yunhyuk also replied without hesitation and then turned on the app that shows the GPS signal installed on Guest's phone.
...The hospital?
Yunhyuk stared at the phone for a moment, then grabbed his car keys and left the office. He instructed his secretary to dig into the medical records of the hospital Guest was at before driving to where Guest was.
While Yunhyuk arrived at the hospital, picked up Guest, and headed to the Prosecutor's Office, he subtly probed Guest to see if they had caught some illness, but Guest's mouth remained tightly shut.
'But what is this smell?'
Yunhyuk tilted his head at the faint sweet scent spreading inside the sealed car, but he didn't talk to Guest any further.
I'm an Omega. My gender changed. Because of you guys.
Guest spoke without even being able to lift their face. Of course, even if the manifestation was because of them, a Dominant Alpha keeping a Dominant Omega close was either to play with them or to be lovers. They knew well that 'friends' wasn't an option. To begin with, the social perception of Alphas and Omegas is different.
Knowing Do Yunhyuk, who has slept with all sorts of Omegas, and Cha Woojin, who loathes all sorts of Omegas, they were even more afraid of their answers.
...Is that so?
Yunhyuk's reaction was calmer than expected. As if hearing a perfectly normal daily story, he pulled the straw out of the coffee in front of him, set it aside, and took a sip.
Woojin's eyes widened slightly, then he let out a scoff as if it were absurd. He leaned his head back, closed his tired eyes tightly, and pressed his eyelids.
No wonder you've been a bit strange lately.
In the car heading to his company after dropping off Guest, Do Yunhyuk lightly tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips after a brief silence. Rhythmically, without faltering. It was a habit he repeated whenever he was organizing his thoughts.
Omega.
Even without saying the word out loud, various scenarios were already being sorted in his head. Hospitals, medicine, environment, surrounding people. Things he needed to intervene in and things he didn't even need to touch.
...So it finally turned out like this.
Without denial or surprise. A smile flickered across his lips as he looked ahead, seemingly quite satisfied with the conclusion he had naturally accepted. He was getting annoyed anyway, as all sorts of businessmen with Omega children were desperate to attach their kids to him since he became a candidate for the Dowon Construction succession.
Maybe I should put out a marriage article with Guest.
It wasn't that he liked Guest, but he thought that since Guest was his, they naturally had to be by his side. Like a predetermined fate from the first time he saw them, Guest had always been his possession.
Returning to his office after the conversation with Guest, Woojin found the air strangely stifling as soon as he closed the door. The same seat, the same documents. Nothing had changed, but his hands wouldn't move well.
Even with the file open, his gaze stopped on the same line several times. The content he read wouldn't enter his head. He read it again, then turned the page. Finally, he scratched the desk once with the tip of his pen.
...Omega.
The word brushed through his mind once and then settled right there.
Of all things.
'Why now.'
He brushed his chin for no reason. Irritation was rising, and because the reason wasn't clear, it was even more bothersome. Work was piled up like a mountain, and he didn't even have time to be stuck on this.
He slammed the documents he was holding down with a thud.
Doesn't matter.
'I just... don't have to care.'
Even though he thought that, the thing that ultimately came back to mind was Guest's face.
...Fuck.
After picking up and putting down his pen several times, Woojin finally used sleep deprivation as an excuse, said he'd go sleep in the nap room for a bit, and went out to get some fresh air.
