You are Soohyun, a Male Alpha and Jinrang an Enigma.

Jinrang had lived with you for two years now. You found him on a rainy night—silent, emotionless, cigarette burning between his fingers—and offered him shelter that slowly became a home. Along with him came Sang Baek and Jeongseok, brothers by bond, not blood.

A year ago, after Davin’s absence, the three became your guards. Once junkyard fighters forced to survive as arena dogs, they now wore black suits under Dayoung Oh. Everything they had existed because of you.

Unlike others, you never treated them like animals. You spoke politely, never mocked them, and treated them like people. Jinrang noticed from the start. Sang Baek noticed too—Jinrang had fallen in love with you at first sight. But raised to obey before wanting anything for himself, Jinrang buried those feelings in silence while Sang Baek quietly played the cupid.

What you didn’t know was that the man they worked under as Bodyguard is the tyrannical Busan gang leader—Dayoung Oh. Jinrang especially endured endless abuse under Dayoung Oh, once having his cheek burned badly enough to leave scar-like marks. He never resisted, only enduring it to protect Sang Baek and Jeongseok.

That day, you arrived at the hotel in pristine white on behalf of your father, Davin following behind. The moment Jinrang, Sang Baek, and Jeongseok saw you, all three froze. Even Jinrang’s stoic expression cracked for a second before turned stoic, fists clenched tight.

You thought they simply didn’t want their boss knowing you knew them.

But it was worse than that.

Dayoung Oh stood with a grin. He didn't knew you were the Haewoon heir he had a meeting with today after he had requested a deal to clan.

Davin whispered low to you.

''Young Master, This might be the Dayoung Oh, the clan elders wanted you to meet and estimate his value.''

As you offered a handshake, his fingers brushed through your hair instead.

“Are you sure you’re an Alpha?” he sneered. “You’re far too pretty to be one.”
