December

Director Hong glanced at Chairman Noh and took a step closer to Kim Shin.

“The Chairman doesn’t say anything, but he tries to understand you. Now he wants to help find the recessive Omega who helped you awaken.”

“No need.”

“Kim Shin, don’t do that…”

“I already found him.”

Huh? When Director Hong asked stupidly with his mouth open in a daze, Kim Shin looked down at Chairman Noh, who looked somewhat stiff and answered.

“So tell him not to worry about that.”

With those words, Kim Shin turned around and left his hospital room. Chairman Noh got out of bed only after Director Hong hurriedly followed Kim Shin out of the hospital room. Did you find him? That recessive Omega? A while later, Director Hong returned to the hospital room with a stern expression on his face, and Chairman Noh tried to call someone.

“You too, quickly find out who Shin is meeting.”

“Chairman, if it’s because of that, it would be better not to call.”

When Director Hong stopped him, Chairman Noh’s expression turned cold.

“Why?”

“It was Kim Shin’s request.”

Shin? Chairman Noh’s face instantly became blank. Yes, Director Hong nodded and conveyed what Kim Shin said.

“He told me not to do anything that would be noticeable, such as background checks or tailgating, and to just wait patiently. Until he introduces his partner himself.”

Instead of getting angry at his grandson’s arrogant request, Chairman Noh’s eyes widened in surprise.

“To me…He will introduce his partner to me?”

Yes, Director Hong nodded again.

“It’s not just that. He needs your support as well.”

“Support?”

“Yes. To crush all of the people who offended him.”

Chairman Noh’s clown wriggled with uncontrollable joy again. After all, he was my blood. Kim Shin grew up right. It couldn’t be that perfect. But the good news did not end there.

“So, he also said he would contact you often in the future whenever he needs your help and support…”

“Oops!”

“Chairman! Doctor! Nurse!”

That’s how Chairman Noh was truly hospitalized.

It was after a busy period when the sous chef heard that sound. Suddenly, Seunghee’s screams were heard in the hall.

“Boss, quick! The Alpha lawyer is in his rut and Yeonwoo oppa is stalling him for the time being…Please, quick!”

The name Yeonwoo struck the sous chef like lightning. Even though Seunghee pointed to the special room, no one could move right away. The Alpha was aroused. Plus being a lawyer? If they touched him incorrectly, they would only receive a receipt for the full amount of the damages. Even so, the boss took the first step, but someone passed him and went to the unique area.

“Huh? Shin?”

The boss, who recognized him, was surprised and asked the others. When did he come? “I don’t know,” everyone shook their heads and quickly followed him into the special room. Everyone clearly saw how he simply and easily overpowered the lawyer.

“Get out of the way.”

At his word, the people in the hallway all pressed themselves against the wall and made a path. Kim Shin passed along the road like a king, holding the lawyer’s neck as his trophy. Even when he disappeared outside, no one could take their eyes off the place. As people started to murmur later, the sous chef came to his senses and ran outside, following the boss.

“It’ll be okay, right?”

As he opened the back door, the boss inquired. The sous chef was unable to respond since he did not know who would be okay. Against the cold wind, he glanced around the back of the store. He didn’t have to go far to find it. A tall figure stood in the distance, in front of the area where recycling rubbish was segregated. They proceeded towards it, but eventually, neither of them could move.

The lawyer was lying on the floor and Kim Shin was stepping on his face. Just like that, he turned his eyes to the two people. Since he came out of a warm room, the cold air of the winter night felt especially colder. However, the goosebumps on my body right now had nothing to do with the cold.

“Sh, Shin. I called the police. They will be here soon…It’ll be best not to mess with an Alpha in their rut.”

The boss was taken aback and stopped Kim Shin. In actuality, Kim Shin was simply stomping on the lawyer’s face, leaving the latter helpless. Anger or other emotions were not visible in his attitude or eyes, but he was the same as usual. But this only made the two more terrified. He felt as though nothing had happened and that he would end up doing something.

“I need to relieve his rut, at least.”

Kim Shin blurted out something, but he couldn’t understand it. How do you relieve someone’s rut? Instead of explaining, Kim Shin put his foot down and took something from the recycling bin. As soon as the lawyer came out, he was unable to get up from the cold cement floor, groaning as if he had hit a vital spot.

As a result, he had no idea what Kim Shin was holding. Kim Shin had roughly pulled down the lawyer’s pants with one hand, causing him to be unable to move. The pants fit like elastic, but they were certainly suit pants with a belt, buttons, and zipper. The sound of crushing was clearly heard by the two people who were observing.

The lawyer’s buttocks were exposed to the air in an instant. Even though there were street lights, it was dark because the sun had already set, but the two could see what Kim Shin was doing plainly. He slid one of the glass bottles he’d brought between the lawyer’s buttocks nonchalantly.

“Ah! No!!”

The lawyer’s scream rang out loudly. The boss stepped behind him, his face turning white. The sous chef also wanted to step away but found it difficult to move his stiff body. Kim Shin informed the surprised boss.

“They wouldn’t be able to hear it inside.”

No one was worried about hearing the lawyer’s screams inside, but after giving such a kind explanation, Kim Shin put his foot back on the lawyer’s body that was trying to move. The sous chef noticed the location of the foot and stepped back in surprise, just like the boss. Kim Shin’s feet were between the lawyer’s buttocks, which had half a glass bottle stuck in them.

What on earth is he trying to do? What the…The sous chef was so frozen that he couldn’t breathe, so he looked at his feet and then lifted his eyes without realizing it. Kim Shin was looking at him. Emotionless, those eyes he always saw in the kitchen. Kim Shin fixed his gaze on the sous chef and put strength on his feet.

Only the lawyer’s shouts were audible to the sous chef. Surprisingly, he also got an audio hallucination of a glass bottle smashing. This time, it was evident what was causing the goosebumps that spread throughout my body. The sous chef’s fingertips were trembling, and he couldn’t move for a long time.

Kangho reached a conclusion based on the information he had gathered and the facts he had witnessed over several weeks. Cho Sungkyun was related to the recessive Omega who awakened Kim Shin. Maybe he got his hands on Kim Shin’s recessive Omega. Otherwise, there would be no way for Kim Shin to step on Cho Sunkyun, whom he had never met in person, like that.

However, it was all just speculation and there was no exact basis. He tried to dig up more information about Cho Sungkyun, but he disappeared after his tooth was pulled out, so no one heard about him. The only news he heard was that even if Kim Shin did something like that to Cho Sungkyun, he was released from the police station without any trouble. He must have had his hands full, spending a lot of his grandfather’s money.

That irritated him even more. He couldn’t believe that, on top of being attractive, he was also wealthy. This was why he sought to uncover the recessive Omega who was Kim Shin’s weak point. He had no choice but to return to the school’s club room every day. Kim Shin’s name finally came out of Kim Shin’s friends’ mouths after several days of being ignored, hoping to hear something more from them.

“Shin said he will be at the alumni meeting next month.”

When Kim Shin’s best friend announced the news, another friend asked curiously.

“Really? He doesn’t like those kinds of things.”

“It’s not like he didn’t like it. He couldn’t be bothered.”

“There are many people who are jealous of Shin and hate him, so it was annoying for him.”

The other friend stared at Kangho. Kangho deliberately pretended it was a misunderstanding.

“Why am I jealous and hate Kim Shin? It’s not like that.”

“Not really. When you were in high school, whenever you saw Shin, you glared at him as if you were trying to kill him. But when you became a senior in high school, you couldn’t even make eye contact with Shin. So, how jealous and hateful could you be? You ignored him and said he was below you, but now he has become an awakened Alpha…”

It was difficult for Kangho to hide his true feelings when the criticism was made so openly, but he was able to get over it this time too. He deliberately sighed as if he was embarrassed.

“Ha, I don’t mind being misunderstood, but don’t say that to Kim Shin. I don’t want to be misunderstood for something that isn’t true. Other people really hate Kim Shin, but it would be unfair to blame it on me.”

“Who really hates Shin?”

Kangho looked at the two innocently, as if he didn’t know that.

“Kim Shin’s family.”

As the two closed their mouths, Kangho burst into laughter, but he pursed his lips once to look serious.

“Kim Shin’s half-brother is our junior, a senior in high school. Dominant Alpha. It’s known that his family only took care of his brother. But since Kim Shin has become the awakened alpha, he is now being ignored and is gnashing his teeth at Kim Shin.”

“How do you know that?”

“He’s friends with my cousin. From what I heard, Kim Shin’s father was too proud to reach out to Kim Shin now, so he wanted Kim Shin to bow down first, but he got angry because there was no response.”

“Even if you hold out your hand, Shin will not hold it.”

“So that’s the problem. Kim Shin will ignore his family until the end, so what if they hate him even more and take advantage of Kim Shin’s weaknesses?”

“What weakness does Shin have?”

“He’s an awakened Alpha. No matter how good he is, if he goes into his rut with the Omega who awakened him, that Omega will inevitably become his weak point. So, isn’t that why Kim Shin is trying his best to hide him?”

Kangho believed he was in command of the conversation. He was planning to cajole them into giving him information about Omega. If they remained silent, he intended to speak out even more about his hazardous weakness. However, the two’s expressions when they heard Kangho’s comments were unusual. One leaned back in his chair and moved his head to the side, quietly watching him. Kangho only felt strange after that. Both were beaming. Kangho was so humiliated that he opened his mouth too quickly, failing to mask his expression.

“You don’t believe me? If someone catches that Omega and threatens him, Kim Shin won’t be able to do anything. A completely fatal weakness.”

But instead, their laughter only grew. Kim Shin’s best friend shook his shoulders and laughed before saying something.

“Ah, your Alpha way of thinking.”

Alpha way of thinking? Kangho didn’t understand what he was saying and looked at his other friend, but he didn’t seem to have any intention of explaining anything and just blurted out something he didn’t know.

“It’s all Shin’s fault. He lived so quietly.”

“What does that mean?”

When Kangho asked, the other friend tried to open his mouth, but his best friend blocked him with his hand.

“Kim Shin’s weakness is, as you said, the Omega that awakened him. But it means that no one would bother Shin enough to harm that Omega. Who would do that?”

His best friend explained with a smile. Kangho felt that the two people were hiding the real reason, but it didn’t seem like they would answer. What were you trying to say? I was curious, but I had to put it aside for today. What was important now was that they acknowledged Kim Shin’s weaknesses. Kim Shin’s weakness is, yes, that Omega. There was a need to meet Cho Sungkyun again.

Black SUV. The reason Kim Shin bought this car was for one reason only.

‘This is our best-selling model.’

Kim Shin bought it without hesitation after hearing what the salesperson said. Because it was the most prevalent car, no one would notice if it was parked in an alley. Kim Shin got out of the car and walked to the villa right in front. He entered the password for the common entrance on the first floor, climbed the narrow stairs, and stopped on the third floor.

He checked the time, pulled a small electronic key from his pocket, and opened the left front door. Kim Shin stood at the front door, looking around the small house, even though it was dark inside. He removed his shoes and entered only after being certain that no one was inside.
