Absolute Advantage - Chapter 88.2

Hae-won frowned and fumbled up the vague memory.

She met Louis, who was waiting for her in the underground parking lot, and she told him……. Hae-won, who was crazy about thinking so far, breathed heavily.

“Adam, I really am–”

“Yes, I know. Just calm down, Hae-won.”

Adam comforted Haewon as if he knew everything.

“The atmosphere in this neighborhood is not good these days, and that’s why our actor came to give you some self-defense supplies.”

“……Yes, tomorrow is the weekend again.”

Hae-won muttered after Louis. Every time she told a lie, she felt like there was a lump in her throat.

“It would have been nice if you asked me to protect you.”

“……I didn’t want to worry you, Adam.”

“Really? I’m glad.”

While Hae-won answered in tears, Adam smiled nonchalantly like a person who would not bleed even if stabbed.

“But why did you come to my house?”

“Well.”

Adam lowered his gaze.

Hae-won was also nervous because his expression was significant. However, she was relieved by the following words.

“It’s time that you run out of side dishes. While Haewon is working, I wanted to help.”

Adam smiled like a fox.

‘That’s a relief. You didn’t keep following me.’

Haewon was quite relieved.

Just as she was about to recall the memories she had forgotten,

“Hae-won, your rut exploded again. Do you remember?”

Adam started first.

“……Rut.”

Hae-won muttered blankly.

“Well, is there any other alpha around you?”

Hae-won, who had been talking so far, closed her mouth with a sigh. This is because she was afraid that Adam might notice the existence of the alpha she was looking for.

“Huh? Another alpha around you? Haewon was the only one.”

“Well, I guess so.”

“Haewon, you’re so weird today.”

“I’m sorry. This time, my rut seems to have come strong.”

Hae-won put her hand on her throbbing forehead.

Adam smiled at Hae-won. As expected, Haewon did not remember anything. The fact that Adam is the existence of the alpha that she longs for.

‘Cause I properly erased all the Alpha pheromones.’

Adam removed all pheromones present in the room and waited calmly for her to open her eyes while Hae-won slept after the deed was over.

When she finally opened her eyes, everything was going as he planned. Adam took steps one by one and tricked Hae-won smoothly.

“That’s right. I was jealous when I saw Hae-won with another Omega, so I bit your neck.”

“What?”

At Adam’s words, Hae-won’s eyes widened. At the same time, the pain came up sourly from the neck.

“But it doesn’t matter because we can’t be imprinted, right?”

Adam stroked the neck of Haewon, where his mark was left.

“I’m Omega, and Haewon is Alpha.”

Two eyes that seemed to be embedded with fragments of the moon headed toward Haewon. Hae-won stared at him quietly and lowered her head.

She didn’t want to answer.

To answer, it meant she had to lie to Adam again. Lies piled up with each conversation that she felt suffocated by the weight.

“……Yes, it’s all right. I can cover the marks.”

Hae-won tried to smile, retending like nothing happened.

She laid her hand on the back of Adam’s.

The two prepared a late breakfast together.

Even if we were together, Hae-won’s only role was to sit at the table and wait for Adam’s cooking to finish.

“I guess the culprit hasn’t been caught yet.”

“What?”

“The thief.”

“Ahh…!”

Hae-won nodded as if she understood.

She quickly searched for the name of the neighborhood on her cell phone. Coincidentally, there have been a series of stealing incidents around the neighborhood where Haewon really lives.

The criminal was still at large.

It was a difficult situation for Haewon in many ways.

“Shall I just live here?”

“……what?”

“I’m nervous about leaving Haewon alone. At least if I’m here, I can find you right away when something happens.”

“That’s…”

“Are you having a hard time?”

Adam put the finished food on the table.

It was grilled eel. It was cut into bite-sized pieces and well seasoned.

Did he deliberately come up with a menu that was good for energy in consideration of Hae-won, who suffered in bed all night?

“Hae-won, it seems that you often faint while having sex. I’ve prepared to replenish your stamina.”

Adam grinned.

Then he went back to the subject a little while ago.

“I want to be your chauffeur, but I think Hae-won will hate it.”

“It’s not that I don’t like it, but Adam also has a schedule, and…….”

In the end, Hae-won’s worries became a reality.

If she was accompanied by Adam after work, the opportunity to find the alpha would be missed forever.

Even now, Hae-won couldn’t afford to enjoy a golden weekend with Adam due to the compulsion to find the alpha.

“So let’s agree to live together. Can’t we?”
