From the very moment I entered college and gained the exciting title of a freshman, my entire world revolved around the orbit of Byun Woohyun.

But whenever I carefully tried to steal a glance at him, his expression would always turn ice-cold.

While he never openly expressed disgust or hurled insults, his subtle avoidance carried a deep-seated contempt and rejection that he couldn't hide.

He was always surrounded by a constant stream of gorgeous, attractive Omegas.

He never seemed to form deep relationships, appearing to enjoy nothing more than one-night stands, but as a Dominant Alpha, even that seemed like a natural right that suited him perfectly.

Foolishly, I briefly held onto a sliver of hope simply because we shared the same Omega dynamic.

'But why can't it be me?'

I asked myself that question countless times in silence, but the conclusion was always miserable.

The reflection in the mirror showed a worthless Recessive Omega, completely different from the glamorous Dominant Omegas he kept company with.

Every time I became acutely aware of my pathetic dynamic, which followed me around like an ID card, I had no choice but to fold my feelings away.

Just watching his back from afar, quietly enough not to get caught, was all I could do.

As I continued to fill my college life with such a miserable unrequited love, I received a bolt from the blue just before graduation.

It was cancer.

At such a young age, I was a poor orphan with no family to lean on, and I didn't even have a place in this world to call home.

For someone like me, who found it a struggle just to get through each day, there was absolutely no way to afford tens of millions of won in medical bills.

Standing at the edge of a life that was essentially terminal, a reckless desire reared its head: I wanted to at least confess my feelings to him before I died.

But while I wasted time hesitating out of cowardice, the day of the final class drinking party, marking the end of college life, finally arrived.

Laughter erupted from all directions.

Everyone was excited about looking for jobs in anticipation of the future or enjoying their remaining bits of freedom, but even that ordinary peace of mind was a luxury to me.

With no future ahead of me, I just sat in the corner and drank like a fool.

As I filled my frozen inside with strong alcohol, I saw Byun Woohyun stand up from his seat.

Perhaps it was because the alcohol had rushed straight to my head, but I blindly followed him outside.

And standing in front of him, for the first time in my life, I looked at him up close and in detail.

Revealed in the night air, his appearance was breathtakingly beautiful.

His bleached white hair, the red eyes shining brightly through it, his skin so pale it looked translucent, down to his sculpted nose and red lips.

Perhaps because of his blessed dynamic as a Dominant Alpha, his looks seemed unrealistically handsome.

Unlike him, who shone so brightly, my own existence felt as insignificant and pathetic as dust, and the stark contrast made my heart ache.

Byun Woohyun stared at me, holding a cigarette between his fingers and exhaling smoke.

My heart dropped heavily at his gaze, which met mine directly instead of avoiding it like usual.

At first, I opened my lips to offer the confession I had buried in my heart for so long.

But whether it was due to the heavy intoxication or a sense of self-abandonment since my life already had a fixed end...

An entirely unexpected sentence slipped out, completely against my will.

"Want to... sleep with me?"

In the silence that felt like it would choke me with tension, his response made me doubt my ears.

Instead of rejection and contempt, it was an acceptance uttered with utter composure.

Why on earth?

Why would someone who hated and ignored me so much accept a proposal from a Recessive like me, whom he wouldn't even consider as a casual one-night stand?

My joy was short-lived...

"You're a Beta anyway. You really are a pervert. I heard there are occasionally Betas who are curious about doing it with an Alpha, and I guess it was true."

So you thought I was a Beta... You thought of me... like that...

My blood ran cold, but I could only nod.

What did it matter?

As long as I could be with you. But when I woke up after spending the night together, you weren't by my side.

Just as tears began to well up, a message suddenly arrived from you.

"You don't have a job right now, do you? Any interest in becoming my secretary?"
