Absolute Advantage Chapter 3.2

Adam smiled and said,

“At least I don't think it's a racy idea.”

He let go of Haewon's hand.

“I'm sorry for being rude. You're not mad, are you?

Adam continued with a polite hand behind his back.

“I wanted to do well with you.”

“……You don't have to. It's a marriage of convenience anyway.”

Hae-won replied with a tired face.

At Hae-won's words, Adam frowned as if he were hurt.

“No, I don't want to marry you.”

Adam's eyes bent strangely.

“Is there no place for love?”

“……Yes, there isn't.”

Hae-won answered with a sigh.

Why ask such a meaningless question.

Adam didn't seem to be a serious question either. No, rather, it's more about the face that matters, not love.

It was self-evident that Adam did not take this marriage seriously just by looking at the attitude he showed at the meeting.

'You didn't want to either.'

But he doesn't have a choice, so maybe he's complaining like a child. Adam's behavior a moment ago was really similar to a petulant or party wrecker.

Individuals who feel helpless in the face of a reality that cannot be escaped from sometimes show childish regression.

The way to release stress is different for each person. In a way, it was better than violence. It's more than drinking, gambling, and indulging in womanism.

And it was her father, Jung Eun-chan, who did all of this and died.

Hae-won was heartbroken when he recalled her father's last appearance in the Philippines.

'You'd better warn him first.'

For the sake of a smooth future marriage was implied.

“It's okay to be mean.”

“You don't want to get married. That's how you see this, right? I see that you feel better by putting me in trouble, but I still want you to refrain from the same attitude you just did.”

Hae-won spoke calmly to Adam.

“Be especially careful in front of the president, my sisters, and your brothers. They're not the ones who just let it go.”

“I'm saying I can't protect you.”

“Haha.”

Adam, who was listening to Hae-won calmly, burst out laughing. Adam belatedly wrapped one hand around his mouth.

“My mistake.”

Adam added in a calm voice.

“A romantic alpha, like Haewon is rare. I guess I was moved without realizing it.”

“I think I said something useless.”

Hae-won said in a weak voice. Adam's shoulder kept moving, and he must have held back his laughter. Is that the attitude that people who are moved would show?

But she understands why Adam is smiling.

Don't tell me what to say in front of a man much bigger than me. But before that, she was an “alpha” and her opponent was an Omega. Whether it's true or not.

Alphas had a duty to protect Omegas.

If you can't protect this man…….

'I'm going to have an end.'

Hae-won's face was filled with depression.

Omega men who fail to marry become completely isolated from the world as a third person, not a man or a woman.

Haewon's father's death in a strange foreign country was also destined to be avoided if he was born as Beta.

'Can I handle this man?'

For Hae-won, Adam was far from a life partner she could rely on. It was absurd to say that there was a fate between alpha and omega.

At least that day,

Haewon thought so.

The meeting with her partner was the worst meeting ever.

So was Adam's first impression. It's the same for Adam.

“Haa.”

Hae-won sighed deeply in the car back to the office. After separating with Adam, the slight fever stopped like a lie.

That was the only comfort.

'Huh? That building is…….'

Then Haewon found a familiar building between high-rise buildings.

'Why? Does it bother you because it smells like an alpha too? Hang in there. Your body is in control.'

It was the place where she met the alpha.

Haewon raked through the broken memories. After going back in time, she could recall a day not too far away.

Haewon, who worked overtime until late, had a heat cycle while leaving work. The sky was unusually gloomy and the air that touched the skin was gloomy.

She drove as if she was led by something, and when she came to her senses, she had stopped at the back of a secluded building.

It was dark all around. The surrounding area, which she looked around depending on the irregularly flashing streetlight lights, was a dangerous place at a glance.

All kinds of leaflets were attached to the high wall, which was built to distinguish between buildings, and shallow graffiti decorated it.

Half-empty barbed wire, cat noises coming from somewhere, empty trash cans rolling around in dents. It was a place that would not be strange if a crime occurred right away.

Why did I stop at such a place?

When Hae-won, who belatedly figured out the situation, tried to put her in reverse gear, someone approached her. Is he trying to convict an uninvited guest who broke into his private land without permission?

“What are you doing here?”
