The apartment was quiet in the early mornings—soft city noise muted by double-pane windows and the faint hum of the air purifier.

Taemin woke first.

Not because he wanted to, but because the tiny bundle on his chest—baby Daon—was hiccupping in his sleep. He blinked, then smiled. “Good morning, little one.”

Daon didn’t answer, of course, just made another hiccup that shook his whole body.

On the other side of the bed, baby Arin slept soundly on Jaehyun’s stomach. Jaehyun, CEO of an entertainment company, was clutching the baby like he was the most precious contract of his life. Meanwhile, the other alpha, Dongwook, CEO of a tech firm, was curled around Taemin and Daon, his arm heavy but warm.

It didn’t look like the polished, intimidating CEOs the media knew. It looked… domestic. Soft. Their love story wasn’t vague or complicated. It simply began with two childhood friends lost in the omega’s persona since college. Even after marriage, even after years together, they never quite stopped competing. That was just who they were—two CEOs too used to winning, meeting their match in each other… and in him.
