Chapter 44.1
Absolute Advantage
âNo, Iâm just watching her.â
As Adam spoke evasively, Li Yu-yen murmured an oh to himself.
âItâs also a surveillance if she goes to work every day. I donât know what the difference is.â
Li Yu-yen smiled with a twitch in his mouth.
Just say youâre jealous, man.
âYeah, Iâm jealous.â
Adam replied as if he had read Li Yuyenâs mind.
âSeo Hae-won doesnât even care about the omegas who are from a suspicious background coming around her?â
âOmega⦠Is it a real Omega male?â
Li Yu-yen asked in amazement.
Adam was silent. The meaning of silence is yes. Something like a morning drama was happening in real time.
He thought it would be alpha or beta at best because it could be around Seo Hae-won. After all, he never thought it would be an omega.
âWhere did she meet him?â
âAccidentally at Ellieâs workplace. Occupation, a Rookie actor. He took a guarantee instead of the runaway manager, but Haewon knew that and said she would help.â
âCEO Seo, you are a model for Alpha.â
Li Yu-yen muttered a bit like an example. Adam ignored her and said what he wanted to say.
âItâs very unpleasant for me to have him draw attention by inducing sympathy like that.â
Itâs your specialty. Li Yu-yen was dumbfounded.
âDo you mind if I interrupt you?â
When Li Yu-yen gave indifferent advice, Adam looked surprised.
âSeo Haewon says she does a good deed, and you think I want to choke him? Do you think I am a psychopath without blood or tears?â
âWhat? Yes.â
Li Yu-yen replied without delay.
âYeah, thanks for the compliment. Then Iâm going to go to Seohwa Welfare tomorrow. Oh, take the shopping bag you put on the sofa when you go, and a snack I bought for Haewon to eat.â
Adam waved his hand out with a fresh smile, and he meant get out of here.
Li Yu-yen was irritated by the tip of his head, but he held back and nodded.
To be honest, it was true that there was nothing he could do. In addition, he also wanted to see the true identity of the ârelationshipâ that Adam did not acknowledge even if he died.
âBy the way.â
Li Yu-yen stopped at the door with a shopping bag. Then he turned around and added with a mischievous face.
âItâs the appearance of a rival.â
* * *
Adam snorted as he recalled his conversation with Li Yu-yen. However, as he parked his car in front of the foundation headquarters and waited for Haewon, he was suddenly annoyed.
âReally, an Omegaâ¦.â
Heâs thirsty but he doesnât know why. Suddenly, he even thought of cigarettes that he quit long ago. It was a moment of desperation for nicotine. However, he could not meet Haewon with a pungent smell.
The real Omega will give off a sweet smell that seduces the Alpha. More than the artificial scent he usually wearsâ¦â¦ Itâll be stimulating, right?
It would be ridiculous if Seo Hae-won is a rare alpha type like him. The problem was that she was a lovely alpha.
He saw her fall down during the heat performance. If Omega decides to release his pheromone, things will go completely overboard.
Adam burst out of the car door and came out when his thoughts went that far.
âHoo.â
Adam breathed in the cold air that made his heart ache. Like an animal trapped in such a narrow cage, spinning around in one place, Haewon walked toward the parking lot.
âAdamâ¦â
Hae-won, who found Adam, stopped tall. He thought she would ask him what happened without contacting her, but the words from Haewonâs mouth were unexpected.
âYouâve been standing outside in the cold?â
Hae-won sighed at Adamâs red fingertips.
At last Adam glanced at his hand and pushed it deep into his pocket. He wanted Haewon to look at his eyes, not the hands. He was the one who was jealous of his own body.
âI didnât wait much.â
When Adam spoke with a fresh face, Hae-won became more tearful. Soon, Hae-won carefully opened her mouth, straightening her expression.
âIt bothered me because I ended it like that yesterday.â
â?â
Did Haewon have anything to worry about yesterday?
In fact, Adam left in a hurry last night to find Omega buried in Haewon. Thanks to this, he got information about Louis earlier than Haewon.
âDonât you like jealous men?â
Ah. Is it because of this?
It was a question to tease her as usual, but Hae-wonâs response was prolonged. Haewon seemed to think that this hurt him.
To be honest, he hadnât really thought about it until today, but after thinking about it, he thinks heâs a little upset.
Adamâs forehead narrowed the more he remembered. Hae-won looked at it and was even more helpless.
âAdam.â
Hae-won grabbed Adamâs wrist stuck in his pocket. Adam looked at Haewon with puzzled eyes at the sudden physical touch.
As his hand slipped out, Hae-wonâs palms overlapped. The warmth that smudged on his skin was warm, and then he realized that his hands were frozen a lot.
Ge didnât even know it was cold until Haewon came.
