Crazy A Married Life

#28

It was said to be a rare disease affecting only 1% of the population, with no cure in current medicine. At this time, Taemin had not yet manifested. So the doctor continued with a hopeful expression.

“If he manifests as an omega during his second puberty, these symptoms will naturally disappear.”

It was well known that omega pheromones were crucial for alphas. So when the rut cycle came or when they were in poor condition, omega pheromones were said to be more effective than any special medicine. That’s why omega rejection syndrome was fatal for alphas. Even if he manifested as a beta instead of an omega, it would be considered fortunate in an unfortunate situation. At least he would have less involvement with omegas than an alpha.

Taemin graduated from kindergarten and gave up on school enrollment. He received homeschooling through a teacher his father hired. It was a choice made to avoid omegas as much as possible until he manifested.

However, as years passed, Taemin showed growth that couldn’t be seen as beta or omega, and shortly after his second puberty, he manifested as an extremely dominant alpha. It felt like being sucked into despair without dreams or hope.

That night, Taemin left his bedroom with a heavy heart. He couldn’t sleep and was filled with anxious thoughts. He was about to go out to the garden, thinking some fresh air might help.

He saw his father sitting on a bench. His grandfather was beside him. His grandfather, who had handed over the business to his father, had gone down to Jeju Island for recuperation but occasionally came up to Seoul. Every time, he used to visit Taemin first, but this time it wasn’t the case, which was perplexing. It was troubling that he seemed uncomfortable meeting Taemin.

“Taemin has manifested as an extremely dominant alpha. What should we do?”

His father was depressed as if he had lost the world. Taemin’s already crumbling heart became even more gloomy. His grandfather moved his wrinkled lips while touching a pressure point ball.

“I knew Taemin would turn out like this. He grew faster than his peers and was quite handsome. He could never have been an omega. Above all, the probability of a beta being born between a dominant alpha and a dominant omega is close to zero.”

“Thinking that Taemin will live the same life as me… it’s so distressing.”

“It’s a genetic disease unique to our family, what can we do?”

Genetic disease? Taemin’s eyes widened at this new information. To focus more on their conversation, he hid behind a tree and listened intently.

“Don’t be too disheartened.”

His grandfather patted his father’s back as if to comfort him.

“But you overcame it well and safely married an omega and had Taemin. Taemin will do well too.”

In other words, his father had also suffered from omega pheromone rejection syndrome. But his father hadn’t told him this important fact until now. And from their conversation, it seemed there was a way to resolve this rejection syndrome. Although he wanted to pretend he didn’t know since he was eavesdropping, Taemin, tired of a life avoiding omegas, wanted to overcome it as soon as possible.

“How can I cure this rejection syndrome?”

Finally, Taemin came out from behind the tree. His father looked surprised, but his grandfather was calm as if he had known Taemin was hiding there.

“Why is our grandson out instead of sleeping?”

“Grandfather, Father, please tell me. What should I do?”

“You need to find an omega that suits you.”

“Does such an omega exist?”

Taemin couldn’t believe it.

“They exist in very small numbers. Once you’re healed by that omega, you can become a normal alpha and live an ordinary life. That’s what happened to your father.”

“How do I receive this healing?”

“You’ll naturally know when you become an adult.”

Taemin’s doubt couldn’t be extinguished by his grandfather’s vague answer.

“Where can I find such an omega?”

“We’ll take care of that. Taemin, you just need to study hard and eat well as you’ve been doing.”

His grandfather got up from the bench and patted Taemin’s head. At this time, Taemin was fifteen, but he was already close to 180cm tall, much taller than his grandfather. But his grandfather seemed to see Taemin as just a baby, soothing and comforting him. His father also repeated the same words as his grandfather, telling him not to worry too much.

After that, Taemin returned to his normal daily life.

He was more careful about encountering omegas than before. But he couldn’t avoid the incoming rut cycles. At first, he endured with suppressants. But as he became an adult, his sexual desire amplified. Even suppressants became ineffective.

One day, his father brought a pretty man. He said he seemed suitable for Taemin to handle as an extremely hot omega. Taemin couldn’t understand what the criteria were, and his father didn’t explain. Then his father pushed Taemin and that omega into a room together.

Strangely, that omega wasn’t uncomfortable. Even though he could clearly sense the pheromones. Taemin, who had been suffering from his rut cycle, eventually embraced that omega. But this omega was somewhat strange. Although smaller than himself, he had considerable muscle, and his genitals were shaped like Taemin’s. He had heard that male omega genitals were fundamentally different from alphas in function, so their shape was simple and small. Finding it strange, he questioned, and the omega confessed that he was a recessive alpha.

“I… I needed money. My mom made a bad guarantee and we lost our house. But when the CEO here said he was looking for an extremely hot omega to deal with his son, I applied. I thought it would be the same anyway since I’m also an alpha, even if recessive. Could you… could you just pretend not to know?”

“Alright.”

At this time, Taemin wasn’t particularly sympathetic to the alpha’s situation. He just indulged because he needed to relieve his heat. He realized it was certainly more effective than suppressants. After that, when his rut cycle came, Taemin sought out his partners like a beast. He had tried to relieve his rut with betas before. But they frequently ran away or were taken to the hospital, unable to withstand Taemin, so he had to deal only with alphas.

But for some reason, his heart felt empty, as if there was a big hole in it.

His father continued to introduce extremely hot omegas. This time, unlike the last, they were real. Maybe that’s why. Taemin felt disgust and ultimately rejected those extremely hot omegas. It was the same afterwards. He thought maybe he should just live like this, as a broken alpha.

But quite ironically, omegas really liked Taemin’s pheromones. Of course, this would include his wealthy background and outstanding appearance. Omegas always swarmed around Taemin. As a result, Taemin’s rejection syndrome worsened, and he began to feel disgust towards the very existence of omegas.

Living like this, one day. When Taemin was working in his office.

“Long time no see, Ji Taemin.”

Im Hoyoung, a friend since kindergarten and now an omega specialist, came to visit. He wanted to have dinner together. He sat on the sofa, glanced at Taemin, and pushed up his glasses.

“Do you look more like you’d make omegas cry as time goes by?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Taemin raised his eyebrows and glared at Im Hoyoung. Im Hoyoung raised both hands as if surrendering.

“I’m saying you’re handsome. I have a blind date with a dominant omega tomorrow. My mom insists that they seem perfect for me.”

“Because you’re a dominant alpha?”

“Yeah. I also want to settle down with someone. Isn’t it about time you thought about marriage too?”

“What marriage?”

“Hey, we’re already thirty. Are you going to live alone like that forever?”

“Yeah. I believe in staying single.”

At this time, Taemin had just taken over as the CEO of Baekwol Corporation and was deeply immersed in work.

“Why? Even if omegas make you uncomfortable, you could marry a beta woman, right?”

“I like guys with dicks.”

“You crazy bastard.”

Im Hoyoung glared at Taemin as if dumbfounded, then seemed to think of something and got up from the sofa.

“Haven’t you found an omega that suits you until now?”

“No. Even the omegas my father brought were the same.”

“What kind of omegas has your father been bringing?”

“Extremely hot omegas.”

“What? That’s unusual.”

Taemin thought the same. It was strange that he only brought the extremely hot ones, which had the most disabilities among the traits and were the least desirable. It would make sense to bring other dominant or recessive omegas, but his father persistently stuck to extremely hot ones.

“You know, about that omega rejection syndrome. Didn’t you say your father experienced it too?”

“Yeah.”

“But in the end, your father married a dominant omega, right?”

“That’s right. He said he was healed after meeting an omega that matched him. I guess he met my mother after that.”

“Basically, pheromones are important for alphas when it comes to omegas. I guess your father and that matching omega…”

“Had sex.”

Taemin said calmly. Im Hoyoung seemed to want to say the same thing but hesitated to open his mouth easily. But Taemin continued speaking as if talking about someone else.

“But my father abandoned the omega who saved him and married a different omega. He did a trashy thing.”

“Then will you do the same if an omega that matches you appears?”

“First, I’m not sure if such an omega will even appear.”

Taemin avoided answering and stood up.

At this time, he thought that an omega matching him didn’t exist, like a fairy from a fairy tale. Because every single omega he had encountered was disgusting. So he thought he would just live his whole life hating and ignoring omegas like now.

But after meeting Yeo Idam, he realized that fantasies could become reality.

Taemin leapt over the railing following Idam’s path. He was completely drenched by the pouring rain but didn’t seem uncomfortable at all. He just took steps towards Idam.

Following the sweet pheromones lingering in the rain.
