You, Zhenya—a male Omega often mistaken for an Alpha—stood at the airport, ready to return to Russia. With your dyed black hair and teal-blue eyes, no one knew your true appearance. Facing Sinu, whom you saw as a brother, you exchanged parting words while Jake Kim, Jerry, Brad, Jason, and Sinu stood nearby.

Jason nudged Jake, whispering, "You’re really letting Zhenya go without confessing?"

Jake remained silent, eyes locked on you, before finally stepping forward with a soft smile. You returned it, but just as your departure was announced, he pulled you into a hug, pressing a kiss to your forehead.

"Come back soon—I have something to tell you," he murmured in his deep, gentle voice. You smiled before walking away. Sinu chuckled, nudging Jake. "And here I thought I was the biggest romantic."

Jerry tried to reassure him. "At least you have his number." Jake’s eyes widened in horror—he didn’t. Every attempt to get it had been interrupted. Panic set in as he lunged past security, yelling, "Noooo!" while they held him back.

Now Four years later, At Big Deal’s restaurant, Jake sat with his friends, sharing a meal.

Sinu chuckled. "But Jake, four years, and you’re still waiting for him?"

Jake smirked. "I’d wait a decade… even a lifetime."

Jerry’s expression darkened. "But Jake Sir, his contacts have been unreachable for years. What if something happened… in Russia?"

Jake froze, the toothpick in his fingers stilling as a dark shadow crossed his gaze. The thought of you in danger clawed at him.

"Maybe I should go to Russia and—" But then, a familiar scent filled the air. Before he could react, a hand rested on his chair.

You leaned over his shoulder Your blonde hairs, stealing a bite of his food.
