“C-cut ties?”

Cold sweat trickled down my forehead at the story flowing in an unexpected direction.

“Why did that bastard come back to Washington? He should just stay buried in Spain for life.”

“Um, Samuel.”

“Shamelessly bragging in front of Gabriel about becoming an alpha. There’s a limit to being stupid.”

“Now that you mention it, you.”

First, I asked the question I’d been wanting to ask for a while.

“Why do you hate Harper so much? You two used to play together well back in the day.”

    ……The story of Gabriel's birth mother.Honestly, I was a little tempted."It's fine. The ones who've raised me until now are my adoptive parents."I refused sharply, like a knife."I'm not. Curious at all."Somehow I had a premonition that I'd get caught up in a troublesome matter.It was an instinct honed by my second-life experience."Not at all?""Yes. Not at all.""Is that so?"When I spoke firmly, pressing down my resolve, Isaac didn't add anything further either.Was it just my imagination that his expression seemed a little sullen?Anyway, what would change even if I heard more about someone who had already passed away……'And that's something I should hear from my adoptive mother.'At least, I think it's the proper order to hear about my birth mother from the adoptive mother who first told me about her.Of course, I don't particularly want to hear it."Then, Chairman. About the investment withdrawal……""Good! I'll accept it. It was quite a reasonable argument."Finally, I felt

    "Order whatever you want. There's no one here who will say anything."The place Chairman Isaac took me to was a restaurant located on the upper floor of a hotel.Like the first-floor lobby, there were no other customers here either. Only a single server and a chef going back and forth to the kitchen.They too were waiting at a distance having received Isaac's instructions, so it truly seemed like no one else was in this vast restaurant besides Isaac and me."Why are you quiet? Are you surprised I'm kinder than you thought?""…Yes. Honestly, I am."Isaac took a sip of water from his glass and smiled benevolently."What's wrong with an aging old man treating an outsider's child well?"It sounded like kind words at first glance.But there was a hidden meaning within.Isaac drove home the point, calling me an 'outsider's child.'"I only act strict when necessary."He continued, resting his chin on his hand."When it's not necessary, I simply don't.""…Yes, I understand. 'Chairman.'""Good

    I finally arrived.At BK Hotel, one of the domestic 5-star hotels.The impression I got as soon as I stood in front of it was…The smell is insane.If I go in, I'll die.That's the only fact.Inside there… alphas will be crawling all over the place.I got goosebumps, but there was no way to escape.However, I'm a little different from my usual self.Because I came after chewing up 7 pills at once!My adoptive mother warned me to refrain from overuse as I could develop tolerance, but what choice did I have?Thanks to taking the maximum dosage the researcher barely permitted, my sense of smell was much duller than usual.Even so, I couldn't do anything about the oppressive pressure bearing down on my entire body.Believing at least I wouldn't have to worry about vomiting, I took a difficult step forward.Where is my adoptive mother? She's not even answering her phone.Whether they'd rented out the entire place, the hotel interior was empty without a single guest.As I stood still lookin

    After closing my laptop, I stood up from my seat.“Harper. Let’s go outside and talk. At this rate, more fanfic will be created.”“What fanfic all of a sudden? Are you talking about idols?”It’s about us, dude.I dragged the bewildered Harper outside as if escaping.* * *“Wow. The facilities here are better than I thought? It’s small but there’s even a park.”In the deserted park, spring flowers were in full bloom, filling the air with their fragrance.Of course, my sense of smell was already paralyzed by the alpha’s heavy scent, so I could only assume there was a flower fragrance.Harper winked playfully with a mischievous gesture.“Samuel will be super jealous if he finds out I came to Gabriel’s school, right? Ahaha!”“I thought you’d go to the international middle school in the next neighborhood.”“Does Gabriel not like that I’m at the same school as you? Is it because of pheromones after all?”“As for pheromones, it’s fine as long as I take medicine and keep my distance. I just t

  • Stepbrother, Please Don't   Chapter 18 - Open-Minded

    Ten years ago, from the moment I started my second life, I made a repeated vow.Unlike my previous life where I suffered miserably and died, I would never get my hands dirty again and live off unearned income!The reason I maintained top 10 in my entire school despite being from a wealthy family?It’s insurance in case I can’t rely on my adoptive mother’s support.The reason I bothered to run for student council president?This happened because Jayden jokingly nominated me. Still, it helps with my self-introduction letter, so I just do my duty as president without complaint.Anyway, I don’t even hope for inheriting the conglomerate family’s fortune.Just enough support to buy one small commercial building in a bustling commercial district would be sufficient. It doesn’t even have to be prime land like Washington…!“Please take only Samuel to such an important event. I’m fine.”“Gabriel…”With this, finally, at last.I’ve eliminated the root of all the novel’s problems.The tragic male

You two used to play together well back in the day.”“Harper just used me as his toy on his own. I don’t remember playing together.”“You played taekwondo games together pretty well.”“You mean when he used me as a punching bag to hit?”P-punching bag?Was that… how it was?“D-didn’t you two ride bikes together too?”“It was hard cleaning up the mess when he nearly got into a car accident speeding by himself.”“You two also often played ball together…”“When he made me stand there like a stone statue and only practiced his dribbling by himself?”“…”I ju
