Seong-Yul has spent years nursing a quiet, hopeless affection for Seung-Won, the older brother of his childhood friend. But between them lies an unbridgeable chasm: Seung-Won is a powerful Alpha, while Seong-Yul is merely a Beta, and their age gap, compounded by stark differences in social standing, has always kept his feelings firmly out of reach. When a sudden, inexplicable secondary gender change manifests Seong-Yul as an Omega, his life unravels. Fired from his job and drowning in a desperate need for money, the news of Seung-Won’s impending marriage delivers the final blow. Consumed by despair, he resigns himself to a grim fate and walks through the doors of a high-end establishment, intending to sell his body to survive. The reality of that world, however, is suffocating. Overwhelmed by the oppressive weight of strange Alpha pheromones and repulsed by the degrading way the patrons treat him like mere merchandise, Seong-Yul’s resolve shatters. Panic sets in, and he frantically tries to flee before his first transaction can even begin. But the door has already closed behind his first customer—Seung-Won himself. His childhood devotion now stands before him, not as a distant dream, but as a predator who has caught him red-handed. With a cold, possessive fury, Seung-Won blocks his escape, his words cutting deeper than any rejection ever could: did Seong-Yul truly think it was better to offer himself to a stranger than to ask for his help? Trapped between the man he loves and the horrifying path he chose, Seong-Yul realizes that his old wishes may have just become a dangerous, inescapable nightmare.
