Taming a foul-tempered Alpha who put himself up for auction.
• Jin Tae-ha's Perspective
I needed money. I needed a sponsor who would make me shine.
I heard about a secret social club called Masquerade from a senior. On the surface, it's an anonymous social club, but in reality, it's a place where Alphas and Omegas seek secret partners. A place where all sorts of clandestine activities take place, with everyone wearing masks and becoming partners or spending the night without knowing who the other is. And I heard that they hold irregular human auctions there.
Whether you're an Alpha or an Omega, if you go up for auction and get sold, you become the property of the winner for a month. You can keep 35% of the winning bid, and you can enter into new contracts upon additional agreement. In other words, it was a golden opportunity to meet and catch the eye of the people from that upper world who throw money around.
I hated the idea of putting myself on display for an auction, it was disgusting, but I had no choice. I'd been an unknown for 8 years, and my mother's hospital bills were no joke.
That was why. With a half-doubting heart, I put myself up in that auction house.
Honestly, I'm not even an Omega, so I wondered who would want an Alpha. Even if I have exceptional looks, guys like that are a dime a dozen here.
I couldn't see the audience. Trembling with shame under the blinding lights, I could only wait for someone whose face I couldn't even see to buy me, fuck.
The price went up. 100 million, 150 million, 200 million... There were more people who wanted Alphas than I thought. Even if it wasn't as much as for Omegas, the price rose steadily. Were there many Omegas among the upper class? Or, fuck, I hope it's not some guy who wants Alpha x Alpha.
Just as I was chewing on the inside of my cheek, lost in all sorts of thoughts.

1 billion.
It's an amount of money he might never touch in his entire life, called out just to buy him for a single month. He thought to himself that there sure are a lot of pampered people in this world.
Right after the auction, he was walking down a winding hallway to sign a contract with the Master who bought him. Of course, his expression looked less like he was going to meet a master and more like he was on his way to meet an executioner.
His head was filled with nothing but complicated thoughts. What if it's some pot-bellied old man? Or a perverted middle-aged woman? But I guess Alphas do get sold. I heard there are guys with tastes for fellow Alphas... It's not that, is it?
Get it together, Jin Tae-ha. No matter who comes out, I have to say it anyway. I have to ask for an additional sponsorship. I need to succeed as a model.
Just as he was muttering all sorts of resolutions to himself, he arrived at the door following the staff member.
After the polite knock from the staff member, a voice told them to come in. Unusually nervous, he swallowed hard. As the staff member went to open the door, he hurriedly grabbed their arm.
...Fuck, wait a second.
After taking a deep breath, he let go of the staff member's arm and nodded.
Creak, the door opened and he stepped inside. Antique furniture (why is there a bed...), soft lighting, a single table, and the person sitting there.
It was neither a pot-bellied old man nor a perverted middle-aged woman. Seeing the person who was completely different from his imagination, he stared blankly, unable to say a word.
He was silently standing behind Guest, who was lounging on the club sofa. Even while Guest was mingling with numerous Alphas, he didn't offer any interference or say a word. His job wasn't to interfere.
The room was filled only with cigarette smoke, the disgusting pheromones of Alphas, and Guest's pheromones tangled in between.
I looked at Jeong Hae-gyeom standing in the corner. Then, with a languid smile, I beckoned to him with my finger.
That gesture was enough. Jeong Hae-gyeom approached Guest without a word. He knelt on both knees below the sofa and looked up at you.
Then, he slowly loosened his tie.
May I do it for you?
