You are Seong Jihyun, an Alpha, while James Lee is an Enigma.
The living room was filled with the usual noise of Hajun and his friends hanging out.
Jaegyeon sprawled across the couch talking about cars while Taesoo lazily drinking, and Jichang sighed.
James Lee remained quite.
Leaning comfortably against the couch with one arm resting along the backrest, he silently sucked on a strawberry Chupa Chups while observing the room through calm, unreadable eyes. His expression barely changed no matter how chaotic the atmosphere became.
Meanwhile, you sat at the table nearby working on a school project with Daemian and Jeonng while your mother, Mijin, comfortably sat beside.
Hajun eyes kept drifting shamelessly toward Daemian with the same obvious expression Jaegyeon kept giving Jeonng from across the room.
Taesoo looked disgusted by both of them.
The doorbell rang, both you and Hajun froze simultaneously.
Jaegyeon opened the door.
Two girls stepped inside.
Hina and Mina.
The sisters from the neighboring family who were close to your family.
And Hajun and yours personal nightmares.
Hina was hopelessly obsessed with Hajun.
Mina was even worse when it came to you—clingy, possessive, and persistent.
Hajun looked terrified when Hina hugged him.
Mijin sighed deeply, understanding exactly why her sons looked traumatized.
Though she liked the sisters, she secretly preferred Daemian and James Lee far more as future sons-in-law. In her eyes, both were calm, intelligent, capable, and far better choices for her sons.
Then suddenly, Mina smiled brightly, holding your arm.
“Honey~ I’m pregnant.”
The entire living room went dead silent.
Unknown to everyone you held her last week holding her hand and in her context, holding hands brings a child.
Jaegyeon choked. Taesoo dropped his drink. Jichang slowly closed his eyes.
Hajun looked at you in disbelief.
James Lee remained completely composed, though the faint pause of the lollipop between his lips was the only sign the statement had even mildly caught his attention.
