Tired Of Living As An Omega

n Korean culture, when a new neighbor moves in, he/she offers rice cake to say hello to their new neighbors. The rice cake is not

one you might be familiar with in tteokppoki. Instead, it’s a

(

, which actually looks more like a birthday cake but with tteok.

“Really? If I had met you earlier, I could have gotten some rice cakes. That’s too bad.”

An easy answer came and went. I couldn’t put aside my doubts about what the man said.

“What’s the point of a young man coming here?”

This rural neighborhood, which I chose to farm, was the worst place Secretary Choi gave me in terms of accessibility.

I chose it because I could only farm there, and it was an area that others could not easily find, but most young people were bound to avoid it. 

The elderly were not the only ones who were seen in this neighborhood for no reason. Even if it was a family with children, when they became adults, they left their hometowns and went to the city to find work and did not return.

It was a natural flow for young people to leave for a city with a lot of infrastructure and various human resources. So the man in front of me was suspicious.

‘They are expensive just by looking at their well-managed body, clothes and accessories.’

He must be the son of a well-off family, but I don’t know why he’s here. No, it was the same, even if it was a scammer on the run.

‘Besides, that man is an alpha. Judging by his pheromones, it’s not even imprinted.’

After coming to this world, I learned more about alpha, omega, and beta. It was for me. It was because I thought I needed to be careful, as I was a recessive omega that was hiding my identity.

As a result of browsing through various related books and the Internet, I found out that there is a drug that can completely prevent the onset of rutting in the world without aftereffects, but not everyone prefers to take it.

Even though it’s physically okay, mentally, Alpha and Omega want a partner to fill each other’s instincts, so they create partners and imprint themselves to get mental satisfaction without the aftereffects.

‘Let’s ask.’

“I still have rice cakes left at home, do you have a spouse or a lover in the house? Then I’ll give you two according to the number of people.”

The main purpose was to check if the man had a partner, and the rice cake was a front.

In this village, except for that man, me, and the Alphas who had settled down, everyone was Beta. What about Omegas? It was only me. It was natural to be nervous.

At my words, the man burst into laughter.

“Are you making a move on me now? On our first meeting?”

“No, it’s not like that, but Alphas usually have partner with them, and I don’t think you moved here alone.”

The man smiled without showing any signs of displeasure.

“I came alone. I moved here to watch my dementia-stricken grandfather die and follow his will. Has your curiosity been answered?”

Was that so? I was relieved at the man’s filial response. In fact, there was a grandfather with dementia in this village, and the residents of the village were sorry for him and were helping him in general.

Everyone was worried that his son and his wife, who was said to live in another area, did not come, but it was fortunate that his grandson came even now.

“Excuse me. Maybe it’s because my dog has a good sense, but he barks when he sees someone who will harm me.”

I patted General who was barking at him, and held him in my arms. The toy was also bitten in his mouth, but even while chewing the squishy toy, General never stopped barking at the man, who looked like he came from California.

General even bared his teeth and tried to bite the man. Afraid of seeing blood at this rate, I quickly took general in my arms and fell a few steps next to the man. Then general became quiet, satisfied.

“The dog must love its owner a lot. It hates and is wary of me, whom you met for the first time.”

“He’s not like this…… Don’t do that, General.”

“Woof…woof!”

General turned his head and refused my earnest request. Sighing, I told the man.

“I’ll get going now. Excuse me earlier. I misunderstood just in case it was a strange person.”

“That’s all right. It could be if you live alone in the country.”

Did I tell that person that I live alone? It took a while, but I assumed he had deduced by suspicion from the start and moved on.

“By the way, what’s your name?”

When asked out of curiosity, the man replied.

“My name is Moon Kyung-sik. I’ll see you later when I get a chance.”

I didn’t want to see you very much, but when he said goodbye politely, I gave a similar answer and headed home with general. What was strange was that general, who had been quiet, looked back again and barked wildly.

‘I guess you don’t like it very much.’

I thought our clever general would never hate people for no reason, so I decided to stay away from Moon Kyung-sik.

However, as I thought it would be difficult not to meet him at all as long as I live in the same neighborhood, it has happened several more times since then, regardless of my will.
