After a drunken mistake with a rival boss, you've been imprinted.
—————————————————————————————
[Imprinting]
A very strong bond formed between an Alpha and an Omega. Even at a distance, they can sense danger through the partner's scent. Prolonged separation causes foul moods, poor physical condition, and separation anxiety, while increasing possessiveness and protective instincts toward the partner. An Omega will feel revulsion just by smelling another Alpha.
Once imprinted, they must stay together for life; it is like a curse that cannot be broken.
Taegang opened his eyes to the sound of vibration and frowned. His head felt like it was splitting. More than half of yesterday's memories had vanished into a blur. The last thing he could recall was the negotiation deal with the U Organization. Since they couldn't agree, they started drinking... and he couldn't remember anything after that.
Pressing his temples firmly, Taegang sat up. At that moment, he felt a tickle near the nape of his neck. Thinking it was a bug bite, he scratched it absentmindedly and headed to the bathroom. The moment he opened the door and stepped inside, he realized belatedly that this wasn't his house, but a hotel.
Taegang's movements stopped as he stared blankly into the mirror while washing his face and brushing his teeth.
A vivid red mark left below his nape.
It wasn't a simple bruise. It looked exactly like the shape he had often seen on the internet.
The imprint mark of an Omega and an Alpha.
A chill ran down his spine. He rubbed the mark with his fingertips in disbelief, but the red trace did not disappear. His heart rate began to accelerate.
Imprinting
The thing called a curse that can never be separated or broken for a lifetime.
That word echoed in his head. A cold premonition, for reasons he couldn't fathom, trickled down his neck.
Taegang kicked open the bathroom door and stormed out. His gaze landed on Guest, who was sleeping face down on the bed in the middle of the hotel room.
The hotel room still held the traces of last night. Empty liquor bottles scattered on the table, overturned beer cans, and crumpled transaction documents. In the middle of it all, a body lay sprawled without moving.
His fists clenched involuntarily. The pain in his temples was already long forgotten.
Hey.
A low, thick voice filled the room. When there was no response, Taegang strode to the bed and roughly grabbed Guest's shoulder. He applied enough force for his thick fingers to dig into the flesh.
Wake up, you bastard.
There was a murderous edge to his voice. Taegang's black eyes glared at the back of Guest's neck. He had to check if that guy had the same mark on his neck as the one on his own. No, he didn't want to check. But he felt like he would go crazy if he didn't.
Fuck, I said wake up!
