“So, can I’ve dinner with you tonight?”

– Certain.

When Hae-won requested if he want to have dinner together with her, Adam readily agreed. Haewon selected the place in consideration of Adam, who wouldn’t be acquainted with Korea but.

The restaurant was on prime of a high-rise constructing.

Hae-won stood within the elevator and pulled herself collectively as she watched the variety of flooring going up. She arrived ten minutes sooner than she promised, however Adam was sitting within the reserved seat first.

“You’re right here already?”

As Hae-won approached urgently, Adam, who felt the presence, raised his head. As their eyes touched, Hae-won turned extra pressing for some purpose. In a quiet restaurant, she was acutely aware of the noisy sound of her heels alone.

Adam obtained up shortly and stood as much as Haewon. He gently wrapped his arms round her waist as if to calm her down.

“Hae received, have been you hungry?”

“What?”

Hae-won requested again a sudden query.

“You look uncomfortable.”

“No, Adam,”

“Oh, I used to be hungry.”

She was about to inform him that she was strolling quicker as a result of he was ready, however Adam interrupted. As Hae-won checked out him with wrinkled eyes, Adam pretended to zip his lips.

“Sit down, Haewon.”

Adam pulled out the chair as if nothing had occurred.

Hae-won additionally sat down with out exhibiting any additional response. Listening to frivolous sounds repeatedly, evidently she has developed immunity to them.

Or due to what occurred on the lodge right now. Sure, that purpose was extra correct.

Above all, her belief elevated with out understanding that Adam restrained his needs for her in warmth.

‘He’s additionally an omega…….’

Hae-won glanced at Adam over the menu.

Adam sitting within the background of the skyscraper at night time was like a scene in a traditional black-and-white pictorial. Regardless that he was quietly searching the menu, he appeared to exist alone in a distinct area.

Then, a faint candy scent brushed the tip of Haewon’s nostril.

Ah. It’s Adam’s scent.

If she have been Alpha, would he reply to this reverberation?

In a typical case, any omega can be insensitive to the reverberation of one other omega. Hae-won was additionally interested in the seductive environment surrounding him relatively than the lingering scent of Adam.

Adam’s first impression was like that. His distinctive environment, his assured angle, his languid voice. It was spectacular that the environment the place these issues have been mixed.

After all, she was the primary to react to his reverberation within the first assembly. The issue was that Haewon didn’t know that the Alpha was Adam.

Her physique remembered Adam, nevertheless it was a scenario that was not acknowledged by her head. On the identical time, she felt a way of alienation, and he or she felt protected and dominated.

“Why, Haewon?”

Adam ghostly acknowledged Haewon’s delicate response and requested.

“No, Adam’s reverberation is……, I assumed it was like Omega.”

Immediately, she remembered Sera’s phrases about smelling like rotten fruit. After all, she couldn’t say this in any respect.

“Actually?”

She thought it may need been impolite, however surprisingly, Adam appeared positive. To be trustworthy, Adam mentioned greater than he did.

“Did you go to work properly right now?”

Adam modified the topic by turning over the menu.

– Resort J, proper? Then lets meet there?

‘No, it’s exhausting to fulfill. I’ve to scrub up, but when I’m going house, I’m late, so I’m going to the lodge.’

– Haewon is the pinnacle, so it doesn’t matter if you happen to’re late. There’s nobody to scold.

“I’ve to set an instance despite the fact that there isn’t any one to level it out.’

Come to consider it, she was already late even earlier than she left the lodge. Hae-won replied with an ungainly smile.

After trying by way of the menu, Hae-won raised her head and requested, “I selected my meals already. What about you, Adam?”

“Sure, me too.”

She put down the menu that Adam was holding onto, on the desk.

Whereas the meals was being ready, surprisingly, Adam continued the dialog on commonsense questions. Hae-won was fascinated by his totally different look from the morning, however she didn’t calm down, understanding that he would possibly change like a palm.

“I’ll put together you a meal.”

After some time, the waiter put down dishes containing meals on the desk. Adam selected meat and Haewon selected fish.

A plate of crimson meat and golden-grilled seasonal greens was positioned in entrance of Adam. Haewon’s plate contained white flounder dishes seasoned with butter and lemon.

The reds and the whites. The person and the lady. Robust and weak. Rest and anxiousness. They only checked the meals on one another’s plates, and contrasting phrases got here to thoughts.

‘However he’s additionally an Omega.’

Haewon someway tried to recall the commonalities between her and Adam.

Yeah.

Omega and Omega.

However a look at Adam appeared to point out one thing totally different.

“…….”

“…….”

Adam rammed a knife into the steak. The crimson gravy slowly unfold on the white plate.

Adam put the ravaged piece of meat in his mouth beneath the knife. As if the tongue caressed, it wrapped across the lump of meat and moved it to the molar. Every time the meat was chewy, the closed-lip define twitched collectively.
