V1C1 Part1

"This is a simple contract."

The man said in a cold voice.

"I need an omega, and you need money."

Eun-woo couldn't say anything in front of him. He couldn't move, as if being wrapped by invisible chains while his mouth gagged.

It had been like this since the first time they met. This guy...

The man looked indifferently at Eun-woo, who was shivering quite pitifully. Eun-woo closed his eyes tightly while receiving his cold stare. Then he thought. Why things had become like this...

* * *

Eun-woo's parents died in a car accident when he was fifteen. Eun-woo, who had his exams coming up, was left alone at home, while his parents went to his relative's house and were coming back when a drunk truck driver hit their car and killed the two on the spot.

It was shocking. Eun-woo didn't want to believe the fact. He wanted to think it was a dream on his way to the hospital. However, his parents who had turned into a cold corpse in the morgue were clearly a reality. Eun-woo couldn't even shed tears as he couldn't believe in it at the time.

The funeral began and Eun-woo gradually recognized his reality. The tears, which he couldn't shed because of the shock, continued to flow down. His relatives tried to console Eun-woo who now left alone, but there was no way that the young Eun-woo could bear the sadness of losing his parents.

And in that same year, another shocking thing happened to Eun-woo.

There was another gender besides women and men in this world.

Alpha and omega.

It was another gender that transcended males and females.

Eun-woo was diagnosed as an omega in a test that year.

Although both his parents were betas, there was an extremely low probability of a beta to have an alpha or omega's gene. There were also some cases where the children of these "betas of extremely low probability" were born as an alpha or an omega. Eun-woo was exactly that case.

After his parents' death, another unbearable reality came to Eun-woo.

Eun-woo, who was agonizing alone, contacted his relatives who had promised to take care of him, and explained the situation. But since then, he lost contact with his relatives.

So he couldn't help but to go through it alone. The public's perception of a male omega was the worst. There was a tendency for male omegas to be even more despised in a social structure where an omega had no choice but be regarded with contempt.

Still, Eun-woo didn't lose hope. Things would turn out to be better as he lived his life with diligence. Even though he was an omega, as long as he lived with diligence...

And then, Eun-woo entered high school, getting his first period after that.

The continuous flow of blood below made Eun-woo unable to come to himself. His stomach hurt like hell and he felt sick. His whole body ached as if he was suffering from fatigue.

Although he was able to cope with the knowledge he gained from the Internet, it became difficult for Eun-woo to go to school anymore.

He was already having a harder and harder time to earn his livings and was barely making it by working part-time at a convenience store right after school, but as such an obvious change came to his body, Eun-woo was unable to have a normal school life.

Eun-woo was crying alone on the bed when he suddenly thought.

Would it have been different if he still had his parents?

Probably, a lot of things would have been different. Eun-woo felt abandoned in the cold world alone as he sobbed in his small studio, with no one else beside him.

After that, Eun-woo spent his days preparing for the qualification examination and working part-time. He even got used to his period as he had it every month, and as long as he properly received his medicine prescriptions from the hospital, he didn't feel as much pain as he did when he had it the first time.

He got more and more encouraged. He thought how he might even be able to go to college if he worked hard to pass the qualification exam and do a part-time job to earn the money.

Eun-woo, who lived day by day with this dream, passed the qualification exam as he wished and was apt to take the CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test) right away that year.

And at the same time, that thing started.

His estrus. His heat cycle.

A curse that made an omega into a horny beast in a moment.

The curse that trampled all of the dreams Eun-woo had until now had started.

When his heat began, he couldn't get out of the house because of the pheromones he was emitting. Because of this, he was even fired from the part-time job where he had been working just fine. It felt as if everything had collapsed in a moment.

Eun-woo finally realized. That since the moment he was born as an omega, his reality was a prison in itself and he would never be able to get out of this "prison". That his life was over with this one word: omega.

Still, Eun-woo never gave up on his dream until the very end, and soon, the college entrance exam approached him.

However, his heat had to start right before such an important exam, and Eun-woo stood trembling on top of his bed.

His mind was filled with the thought that he had to take the CSAT no matter what, even with his body in such a state. Eun-woo struggled, falling from the bed, before placing his hand over the desk and fumbling for the medicine he had received at the hospital.

"Ah...."

But in the medicine bag he just barely managed to find, there were only empty bottles coming out. It was despairing. If his heat kept on going on like this, he wouldn't be able to take the CSAT.

Eun-woo bit his lips and staggered towards the door. He was going out to a pharmacy to buy an ordinary heat suppressant and take it. Eun-woo wouldn't think about such a thing in normal times, but he was really desperate now.

He barely managed to open the door and get out, when he realized it was already dark. He lifted his sweaty head with difficulty and looked around, searching for the direction he should be heading to.

"Huff, huff...."

Heavy pants kept coming out of his mouth. Several betas who passed by Eun-woo looked at him with strange eyes, but he couldn't pay any attention to their gazes.

Where, where should I go?

Eun-woo lost his way and wandered about in the street. He couldn't think properly with his feverish body and his dizzy head. He just hovered around the same place, tottering like a lost beast.

"Uh... ah....."

Eventually, Eun-woo's body couldn't stand it any longer and he collapsed. The cold wind of November brushed against Eun-woo's cheek. When his face was almost hitting the cold ground-

---Tug

"Haa... haa....."

There was a hand holding Eun-woo up. And at the same time, his cheeks came into contact with something soft. The refreshing scent of cologne grazed Eun-woo's nose. He opened his eyes in a squint and saw a white shirt and black clothes. Only the faint perception that someone had gotten hold of him was carved in him.

Eun-woo was wriggling while being held in someone's arms when a cold voice pierced his ears.

"Why is an omega in heat alone in a place like this?"

"Haa... haa... ugh....."

Hearing his voice, Eun-woo barely pulled himself together before forcing his dull eyes open and looking up. A man was looking down at him with an expressionless face.

"Get a hold of yourself, omega."

"Uh... I, I....."

A gasping sound flowed out of Eun-woo's mouth. His body was already near its limit.

I'm Lee Eun-woo, not omega. His lips, which wanted to say so, trembled and only let out shallow puffs. The man watched him for a while, but then he clicked his tongue and pulled him. Eun-woo's body moved in a hopeless way as it was led by the man.

He jerked the door of the car open and pushed Eun-woo into it. The man in the driver's seat asked with a surprised look.

"Vice President. That child is.....?"

"Could you go buy some medicine?"

"Medicine.....?"

The man looked at Eun-woo who was crouching in the back seat and said.

"Heat suppressants."

After taking turns looking at the man and Eun-woo for a while, he nodded and went out. Slowly, the man sat next to Eun-woo and closed the door of the car.

---Rattle

The sound of the door being shut and the feeling of the car shaking slightly surprised Eun-woo and he opened his eyes.

His body felt hot. Too hot. He wasn't even aware of the sound of the gaspings he was letting out and trembled. He couldn't think straight about where this place was or even who himself was. Eun-woo could only reach out for the sweet scent that was coming from his side.

"Haa....."

The man looked indifferently at Eun-woo, who was holding onto his arm. It was as if the pain which Eun-woo was going through had nothing to do with him at all.

Eun-woo just wanted to quickly stop feeling this pain. So he clung to the only source of warmth that he felt by his side.

"Haa... please... please....."

"......"

As Eun-woo pushed his body against the man while holding onto his arm, the man's eyes grew heated for a moment before cooling down fast. He stared at Eun-woo's sweat-soaked face and stretched out his hand.

"Huh... haagh......"

The man, who had grabbed Eun-woo's thing, began to slowly move his hand. Eun-woo trembled and moaned as he received the touch of another person for the first time in his life. An uncontrollable stream of pleasure flooded him. He could feel his hot core getting hard and standing up.

"Haagh... d-don't. Hah....."

When he unconsciously shaked his head and recoiled his body, the man used his other hand to hold Eun-woo's waist firmly. He was instantly pulled back and forced to receive the rough touches of the man. However, what kept flowing out of Eun-woo's mouth were lewd and hot moans.

"Haangh.... ngh... ugh, aahh.....!"

Eun-woo discharged something hot and shuddered. Feeling drowsy, he drew a deep breath. He stood like that for a while, when suddenly, the door of the car burst open.

"Here it is."

He held out a bag of medicine and a bottle of water to the man, who after receiving it, took a medicine out of the bag and brought it to Eun-woo's mouth, who was lying down. With no strength left in his body, Eun-woo just stared at the medicine with blank eyes. The fever had gone down a little, but he was still feeling sick. The man checked on Eun-woo and gave a quiet click with his tongue again.

"Tsk."

He forced Eun-woo's mouth open and pushed the medicine inside. Eun-woo just remained in a daze with the medicine in his mouth when he opened his eyes wide as the man's face drew closer shortly afterwards.

"Uh... ugh....."

Gulp. Eun-woo unconsciously swallowed the medicine down. The man had placed his lips over Eun-woo's, pouring the water into him, and after seeing that Eun-woo had swallowed the medicine, he pulled his lips back.

Eun-woo was looking at the man's cold black eyes when he drifted off into sleep.
