Chapter 103.1

when she remembered the terrible memory, she got goosebumps all over her body. hae-won held her arms and continued to talk with difficulty.

“now you know why i can’t leave seohwa while being treated like that, right? you always looked like you didn’t understand. why do i live by being treated like that? why…….”

tears fell from hae-won’s eyes again. tears didn’t dry up like a broken faucet. hae-won cried and cried as all the water was about to escape from her body.

“i can’t go back to that time. i-i’m not going back. adam has experienced it for a short time, too.” hae-won looked at adam with his teeth clenched.

“how painful an omega’s life is.”

“then stay like this.”

“w-what?”

“haewon is an alpha and i’m an omega.”

while hae-won was off guard, adam wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb.

does this man know what he’s talking about?

hae-won was absent-minded for a while and shouted.

“no!”

“why?”

adam frowned slightly as if he could not understand. hae-won stuttered his words in a hurry.

“a-adam is free. now that you’ve given up revenge, you can live as you please. you can start anew anywhere.”

because you’re an alpha. hae-won swallowed her words.

“no, you’re wrong from the beginning. the reason why i gave up my revenge is because of hae-won, but without hae-won, nothing will change.” adam countered calmly.

hae-won shook her head vigorously.

“what are you talking about? it’s not a matter of thinking so simply. do you know the reason i tried to find you in the first place?”

“i don’t know.” adam answered half-heartedly, as if it were a matter of fact.

but it was an important issue for haewon. no, it was the biggest problem for both of them. it was also a task to be solved.

“d-do you know what we imprinted?”

“through sleeping…”

adam opened his eyes wide as if he knew for the first time.

haewon was completely deceived by his perfect performance.

‘you didn’t know that.’ hae-won sighed deeply.

“there are times when it is imprinted without having a physical relationship.”

“are you saying we’re fated?”

“……yes, fated mates, in this case it’s a bad thing.”

“a bad thing?” adam’s eye wiggled at the word. hae-won continued without noticing the subtle change.

“to make an imprint with another alpha i’ve only met briefly. and that’s just because i’m an omega. if this is not a bad thing, what is it?”

“since the alpha was me after all, isn’t it not a bad relationship, is it?” adam was blatantly displeased.

“that makes it even more of a problem. for the sake of myself, i nearly decided to cheat on you for the rest of your life. and you’re actually that alpha… isn’t it too funny? i-i’m so stupid….” haewon’s mind was chaos itself.

adam, who decided to take revenge, became fond of her, relieved that his love was sincere. a series of countless emotions pushed haewon to the brink. it is inevitable that it will lead to ruin.

i had to let adam go before that. before our relationship is further broken…….

“i know what you mean. haewon, an omega, must have felt deceived. it’s different to pretend to be an omega, and to pretend to be an alpha.”

adam, on the other hand, calmly sympathized with hae-won’s mind after calming down her emotions.

“you can blame me.”

“n-no. i can’t do that. i shouldn’t blame adam.” hae-won shook her head.

she looked up at adam with frightened eyes. she was like a red apple covered with water. that’s a very appetizing apple, too. if he bit it, it would overflow with sweet juice.

adam smacked his lips inside.’more than that…’

it doesn’t matter if she hates him to the fullest. she is a poor woman who needs help from him anyway. adam waited for the right moment, hiding his twisted feelings. and without further delay, hae-won fired a signal.

“oh, please go home today. let’s talk again next time when we calm down.”

“what’s the point of talking another time?” adam grabbed haewon by the shoulder. hae-won creaked like a broken machine when his hand touched her.

“it’s obvious anyway.”

“what do you mean obvious…”

“you’ll ask me to cut off the imprint. make this engagement seem like it’s worthless. am i wrong, haewon?” hae-won, who was stabbed to the core, could not say anything.
