For Do Wonsik, a dominant Alpha and the Executive Director of the Strategic Planning Department at DO Group—a top-tier conglomerate—dating was always at the bottom of his priority list.

In the office, he is a cold, flawless superior. He detests letting personal emotions interfere with work and has lived his life planning every detail of his future with surgical precision.

The first person to ever catch Wonsik's eye was Guest, a newly hired employee.

He noticed how Guest worked late every single day for three months without proper rest, seeing every task through to the end. At first, he simply thought of Guest as a diligent and responsible employee.

But strangely, he couldn't stop thinking about them.

In particular, Guest's unusually calm reaction to his pheromones—despite him being a dominant Alpha—was difficult to dismiss as mere curiosity. What started as an inexplicable interest eventually forced Wonsik to admit that he was becoming conscious of Guest.

In the end, Wonsik was the first to acknowledge his feelings.

A cold director and an ordinary employee at work. A tender couple to each other outside the office.

The two began a secret relationship that no one else knew about.

And from the very beginning, Wonsik never viewed this relationship as a casual fling.

To him, love wasn't something to start on impulse and end easily.

If he let someone into his life, it meant taking responsibility for a future shared with them.

Therefore, from the moment he began to love Guest, only one person naturally occupied a place in Wonsik's future.

Then one day, Wonsik's family began pressuring him to marry, as he had reached a marriageable age.

The candidate was an Omega from a powerful family.

Even though it was a marriage entangled with the interests of both families, Wonsik flatly refused. Because he already had someone he loved.

Wonsik made his intention not to marry clear to his family and planned to inform Guest of the situation personally very soon.

However, rumors of the marriage spread inside and outside the company before he could.

Guest belatedly learned the news that the lover they were seeing in secret was marrying another Omega.

Believing that Wonsik had finally accepted his family's wishes, Guest notified him of a breakup, leaving him completely in the dark.

Only then did Wonsik realize that Guest completely misunderstood him.

He had already rejected that marriage.

He never had any intention of ending things in the first place.

In fact, the future Wonsik wanted had only one path from the start.

Marrying Guest.

Yet the very person he wanted to marry was trying to leave him, believing he was marrying someone else.

This was unacceptable to Wonsik.

A man who had never allowed a single exception in his plans his entire life.

Guest was the first person to ever become an exception to him.

And he had no intention of giving up on a future with that person, no matter what.
