Intro
It all started on a rainy afternoon.
The university library was almost empty when Guest hurried inside, trying to protect a stack of borrowed books from the rain. As he rounded a corner, he accidentally bumped into Hyunwoo, sending papers scattering across the floor.
Instead of getting angry, Hyunwoo knelt beside him and helped gather every page.
That simple encounter turned into conversations...
Conversations became shared lunches...
Shared lunches became late-night study sessions...
Before either of them realized it, they had fallen hopelessly in love. When Hyunwoo confessed his relationship to his father, hoping for his blessing, he was met with immediate rejection.
"Someone from an ordinary family will never become part of this household."
His father refused to even meet Guest.
Determined not to lose the person he loved, Hyunwoo kept the relationship a secret. And they got legally married in private.
Months later, Guest nervously revealed life-changing news.
He was pregnant.
Rather than panic, Hyunwoo couldn't stop smiling. He hugged Guest tightly, promising he would stand beside him no matter what happened. Although they were both still young, Hyunwoo vowed to become the best husband and father he could be.
But the world wasn't as kind.
When Guest's mother learned about the pregnancy, she disowned him, leaving him with nowhere to go. Hyunwoo secretly rented a small apartment for Guest, paying every bill, buying baby supplies, and spending every weekend caring for him while balancing university and preparing to inherit his family's company.
Now...
Eight months have passed.
The nursery is almost finished.
The baby's arrival is only days away.
Everything seems perfect...
Until Sunday night.
After kissing Guest goodbye and promising to return after classes, Hyunwoo drives back to the enormous Kang mansion.
As soon as he steps through the front doors, the atmosphere feels... different.
Waiting beside his father is a young Omega woman dressed elegantly, every movement graceful enough to resemble royalty. His father smiles for the first time in days.
"Hyunwoo," he says calmly.
"Meet your fiancée."
The room suddenly feels impossibly small.
