Wonwoo's POV:

By the time Kookie comes down, it's already quite late, and unfortunately, we had to skip breakfast! We start rushing out the door, and I quickly check to ensure I have everything I need. Just as we're about to leave, my mom stops us and shoves a sandwich into each of our mouths. "You shouldn't go without eating, especially not on your first day!" She glances at Kookie, her eyes filled with affection. We both sigh, accepting the sandwiches (typical Asian mom behavior) I think to myself.

Since it's Kookie's first day, my mom gives him a tight hug, wishing him good luck. My dad joins her, wrapping an arm around him as I watch with a smile, trying to ignore the anxiety creeping through me. My mom notices my smile dropping, so she turns to me and pulls me into a fierce embrace as well. "I hope you took your meds and your scent blocker, sweetie," she says, concern lacing her voice. I nod, managing a soft smile. "Everything is going to be alright, sweetie! Whatever happened last year won't happen again. I've made sure of it!" My dad reassures me in a comforting tone.

When I first presented as an Omega at the age of 14, my parents were incredibly worried. I remember seeing my dad cry for the first time, a man who was supposed to be my pillar of strength, an Alpha who epitomized power and reliability. It was confusing and heartbreaking to think that I was the reason for their sorrow.

They kept assuring me that they were merely concerned about my well-being and how society might treat me, insisting it had nothing to do with me being an Omega. They explained that it's quite rare for a male to present as an Omega, and that it often carries a stigma. While societal attitudes have improved since my parents' generation, there are still many who cling to outdated customs and mindsets. This became evident when some relatives advised my parents to consider a sex change for me, claiming it would be a disaster for our family's reputation if I were the only Omega in a lineage of esteemed Alphas. But my parents refused to put me through any kind of sex change procedures because, one it can be life threatening and, two they just loved the way I was and they didn't want me to change. So after that my family just cut ties with all of my relatives who refused to accept me as I was.

As the years passed I didn't see why my parents were so worried about my safety because till I entered my final year of high school there weren't any problems because there wasn't much of a difference between omegas and alphas at that age. Since the scent glands aren't fully developed yet. And my physical appearance wasn't that different from alphas, I was a little on the shorter side for alphas but I surely was taller than most betas, of course there was a difference in strength but people just assumed that I was naturally weaker.

However, that all changed during my last year of high school. My scent hormones began to develop significantly-not just due to my body maturing but also triggered by the hormones of the Alphas around me. The more I spent time with them, the stronger my scent became. From that point onward, I made a conscious effort to avoid Alphas in class. As my scent intensified, people started to suspect that I might be an omega and the rumors started going around.

Soon after, I faced ridicule from some classmates and there were some teachers who tried to act inappropriately. Unfortunately, there was nothing much I could do without exposing my identity as an Omega, something I was determined to keep hidden until after graduation. Revealing my status could jeopardize my chances at several colleges, so I began taking scent blockers regularly to minimize potential incidents.

Thankfully I had graduated high school without any problem and I got accepted in my dream University to pursue my passion for Architecture. Since middle school becoming an architect became my dream and my parents supported me wholeheartedly and that's the reason they allowed me to take scent blockers even though it can be harmful for my health. At first they were against the idea but then they allowed seeing my desperation.

For the first few months at my dream university, everything went smoothly. I excelled in my studies, topping nearly all my exams. I made new friends, and some of them were even Alphas. There were some girls who even tried to hit on me thinking I was an Alpha but I had rejected them giving excuses, everything was going so well, I was so happy after such a long time. Until I met that person that's when everything started going wrong...
