Kwon Young-je knows why he’s pissed off. It’s all because there are too many people who like Secretary Kim.
Kim Hui-won is one of the few people Kwon Young-je likes. He was also the only person he allowed to freely come and go in his daily life.
Although it was a relationship between a boss and his subordinate, Kim Hui-won knew him better than his own family, and was more reliable than a friend. He trusted him with everything, so it was taken for granted that he was always by his side.
The problem was that those who coveted his secretary were starting to get on his nerves.
Just because he was a little kind, just because he smiled well. There were plenty of people everywhere who were completely smitten with Kim Hui-won. Who knew that being too likable could be a problem.
Even Seon Woo-jin is like that now. What’s more, even his own mother was throwing bait to try to poach Secretary Kim whenever she had the chance. He was well aware that he was being scouted from various places behind his back.
He wasn’t particularly possessive, but Kwon Young-je was only human, so he was bound to be concerned about things he particularly cherished. Whether it was an object or a person.
“Executive Director Kwon… are you alright?”
When there was no response, Kim Hui-won asked again. Perhaps startled by the sudden accident, Secretary Kim’s face, already pale, was even more ashen, and his eyes were wider than usual.
“……”
Kwon Young-je silently observed Secretary Kim’s face as he looked at him. He wondered why a Beta with no pheromones, not even a human magnet, was so likable.
Kim Hui-won, yeah, he’s not bad.
He only looks relatively small because of his build, but he’s actually quite tall, and his kind-looking features can be said to be on the border between handsome and pretty.
Above all, he’s smart. His quick wit and excellent work ethic are Kim Hui-won’s greatest strengths. At this point, isn’t he just a likable person?
Well, it’s only natural that he’s perfect since he’s the talent he chose. Kim Hui-won is a secretary with innate talent, both externally and internally. Spotting him early and keeping him by his side was the best choice.
A short sigh escaped Kwon Young-je’s lips.
“I’m fine.”
“How should we handle the accident?”
“There’s no need to call the insurance company. Let’s just settle it simply.”
“Then, I’ll go out for a moment to take care of it. Seon Woo-jin is okay too, right? Are you hurt anywhere?”
Kim Hui-won belatedly took care of Seon Woo-jin. Seon Woo-jin, who had been looking dazed, finally came to his senses and nodded. His cheeks were still red. Somehow, he can’t even look properly at Kim Hui-won anymore.
Kwon Young-je watched the scene and scoffed inwardly. The Omega, excited by what might just be ingrained kindness, was simply pathetic.
“I’ll be right back.”
Hui-won hurriedly unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. His conversation with the other driver could be seen through the front window.
The other driver, who had scratched the expensive car, covered his face and repeatedly bowed. Hui-won gave an awkward smile and took out his business card.
The car he had left was quiet, and only the sound of the emergency lights blinking periodically rang out. The two people left in the car closed their mouths tightly as if they had made a promise.
Secretary Kim’s absence is so great.
Although an Alpha and an Omega are together in a confined space, they have no interest in each other. It’s just that one person has disappeared, but it felt as if a cold wind was blowing in from somewhere.

Seon Woo-jin resides in a luxury villa complex in Seorae Village. As befits a place where celebrities live, security was tight, and there were few people coming and going as it was late.
Kwon Young-je naturally escorted Seon Woo-jin to the front of the common entrance. Although there were no eyes watching, he continued to act until the end.
“You must be tired. Go in and rest.”
“Yes, I had a great time today. Executive Director Kwon, please go in carefully too.”
Seon Woo-jin replied with a fake smile. The Alpha standing in front of him is always burdensome. Apart from the fact that he’s too perfect, he has no humanity, so he didn’t feel any affection for him.
His large eyes turned to the side. He was subtly looking for Secretary Kim.
“Who are you looking for so intently?”
“Ah… Hui-won Hyung. I wanted to lend him a DVD.”
“You should be able to distinguish between public and private matters. Is he so lacking in judgment?”
He felt quite offended by the rebuking words. Before he could say anything, a shadow fell over Seon Woo-jin’s face. Seon Woo-jin froze, unable to move, as the distance between them became so close that their breaths touched.
Kwon Young-je’s face slid to the side. His elegant lips whispered in his ear.
“Don’t look at Secretary Kim.”
“…Pardon?”
“If I catch you flirting with him one more time, you’ll be in big trouble with me.”
It was a line that a man blinded by jealousy might utter. But the moment Seon Woo-jin saw Kwon Young-je’s face straighten, he read the true meaning behind his words.
Don’t dare covet what I have, it was a warning, not jealousy.
“……”
He was speechless and couldn’t say anything. Even in this situation, Kwon Young-je’s face, smiling at him, was so handsome that his spine tingled.
This bastard is no ordinary psycho.
Seon Woo-jin shuddered and quickly turned around, entered the password, and went inside. He ran into the house as if someone was chasing him, looking extremely flustered.
Only after watching him enter as if fleeing did Kwon Young-je turn around. His steps as he walked back to where he had parked the car were much lighter.
Then, Hui-won, who had been hiding somewhere like a ghost, suddenly appeared. He was holding a cell phone in his hand.
“I’ve taken a picture for now, but I’ll delete it if you don’t need it.”
The cell phone screen showed the scene from earlier, when he was whispering in Seon Woo-jin’s ear. Their close faces looked like lovers sharing a kiss.
Kwon Young-je’s lips curled up slightly at the plausible photo. As expected, Secretary Kim does his job well. He was very pleased with how he did things without being told.
“Good composition. Send that photo to Kwon Young-ho.”
“…Is that okay?”
“He’ll be so happy he’ll faint.”
After giving the instructions, he immediately got into the car. Hui-won also got into the driver’s seat. Soon, the engine started and the car carrying the two men smoothly rolled out of Seorae Village.
The ride was extremely comfortable. Kwon Young-je buried his head in the leather seat and stretched out his upper body comfortably.
The back of Secretary Kim’s head, visible at the end of his gaze, was particularly round. He smiled as if he had never been upset.

The next day, an unwelcome guest visited Executive Director Kwon’s office.
Kwon Young-ho appeared from the early morning with a flushed face and, despite the secretaries’ dissuasion, threw open the door to the office.
“Damn it! Kwon Young-je, come out! I’m really going to destroy you today!”
Even at the thunderous shout, Kwon Young-je didn’t bat an eye. Rather, he calmly replied, turning the documents he was looking at as if he had foreseen this situation.
“Lower your voice.”
“What’s with that photo, is it real? You, you, you’re really, meeting Seon Woo-jin, that, that person?”
“You’ve already confirmed that it’s not a composite, right? Do you need any more explanation? By the way, why don’t you speak properly? You’re in your mid-thirties, isn’t it time to fix your stuttering habit?”
Every word Kwon Young-je uttered was a blow. In response, Kwon Young-ho made a desperate effort to suppress his anger. His clenched fists trembled, and his face was so red that it looked like it would burst at any moment.
While Kwon Young-ho was swallowing his anger, Hui-won took the documents he had approved and handed them to the secretaries outside the door. Then, he silently locked the door and stood in the corner with his hands behind his back.
Behind the wall where he was standing was a button that could summon the security team at any time. This was to prepare for any unexpected situations. Of course, the possibility of Kwon Young-ho harming Kwon Young-je was extremely low. To be precise, he was no match for him.
Now, two Alphas facing off were in front of Hui-won’s eyes. Although they were cousins, the two men were completely different in personality and appearance.
