Lee Shinjae had been pledged as collateral before he was even born, tying him to Jung Inhyuk.

It had been an abnormal relationship from the start, but because Inhyuk always acted sweetly, as if he were on his side, Shinjae developed a young, innocent crush on him.

But on the day Shinjae became an adult, Inhyuk revealed the feelings he had been hiding all along. After that, all that remained of Shinjae, trampled flat and forcibly taken from him, was the actor’s job Inhyuk had imposed on him and his shabby body.

After enduring eight years of constant pheromone showers as Inhyuk’s rut partner, Shinjae mutated from beta to recessive Omega, and the relationship between the two reached yet another turning point.

“Shinjae. I was always your first at everything. Your first kiss, your first sex, and even your first love.”

Character Info

Gong Jung Inhyuk(35)

The heir to Moosung Group, born with a controlling streak and natural arrogance. He thoroughly disciplines Shinjae, who had been marked as his from the very beginning, in order to tame him to his taste, but he also finds him cute when he acts against his intentions.

If someone else harms what belongs to him, he feels deeply offended, and the moment they cross the line, he coldly discards them. But if it is Shinjae who keeps skirting that line, he will even stand by and watch.

Soo Lee Shinjae(28)

He grew into the shape Inhyuk wanted from the very beginning, after Inhyuk had been his protector since birth. The feelings he had for Inhyuk were worn down in the process.

He was a beautiful man with a calm, neat appearance, but he had a sensitive side and a habit of impulsively self-harming. After mutating into an omega, he felt even less need to cherish himself.
