Please keep this in mind while reading. "We may not have honor, but do we lack money?" A sweet proposal flies into a prestigious family of the underground economy that has nothing but money. The other party is none other than the nation's number one corporation, Joomyeong! "Let's marry our Young to that family's son." They're asking to send off the precious youngest Omega—like a flower in a household full of Alphas—through an arranged marriage. While his older brothers and noona strongly oppose it, Young, the person in question, quietly curled up the corners of his mouth. There's no way he'd miss this golden opportunity to escape from his family's suffocating overprotectiveness that had continued relentlessly simply because he was the family's only Omega. "I'll do it, the marriage!" Moreover, the other party is a Beta. Through this arranged marriage, he can secure the halo of the conglomerate Joomyeong while watching succession battles and the like as if they're a fire on the other side of the river—the optimal conditions! So he planned to just fulfill the contract period and quietly leave for overseas to achieve true independence, but... What? You said he was a Beta. Why is he suddenly manifesting as an Alpha?! *** "By any chance, did you prefer how I was before?" The typical response at a time like this would be to say, at least outwardly, that it wasn't so. However, it seemed that the current Kyung-heon would see right through it no matter how naturally he tried to be polite. In the end, Young decided to respond honestly. "Rather than that, we didn't have time to get to know each other." "......" "Before the marriage, we greeted both families, looked at the newlywed house interior, did dress fittings, and talked frequently while doing all that. But after the wedding ceremony... you were constantly busy, so when we passed each other, all we did was exchange greetings. This is the first time we've sat facing each other like this since that day." "That day" here referred to the meal they had after leaving the main house right after Kyung-heon's manifestation. In short, it meant he hadn't had time to adjust to his changed appearance. Kyung-heon seemed to understand and slowly nodded his head. He was quick to provide an answer to the problem he'd raised himself. "It'll be resolved if I make time, then. One hour a day, whether we eat, have tea, or do whatever—it doesn't matter. Is that okay?" Young's eyelids rapidly closed and opened. Well, I have nothing but time, so taking out an hour a day isn't a big deal, but... "But why are you trying to go this far?" He wondered what the ulterior motive was for doing this.
