In an era where the sea is drying up.

In a world where things have become more precious than people,

‘Bada’, who worked at ‘Oceans’, encounters an unexpected person.

It’s Joo Dohwa, the heir to the ‘Four Seas Group’ that monopolizes the sea.

“I’ll take that one. How much?”

A relaxed and slow gaze that turns to look at him.

Normally, they would never have met, given their different social classes.

But Joo Do-hwa, who came all the way here to buy a person, had only one request for Bada.

“I’ll call you ‘hyung’ (older brother). In return, you speak to me informally. How about it?”

A ‘hyung’ he briefly spent time with as a child, the one who disappeared after stealing something important from him—

He asked Bada to imitate that ‘hyung.’

“We’re playing a role. You’re the hyung, and I’m the younger brother.”

The time limit is until he loses interest.

As he said this, his golden eyes were filled with curiosity toward the stranger in front of him.

It wasn’t a difficult request. At least not for Bada.

‘He doesn’t seem to remember.’

Should I tell him? That I’m the one he’s looking for. <<less

Kim Mu-ryeong is the youngest member of a famous exorcist family.
He grew up receiving love from his entire family and was considered a genius.
The kind that appears once every hundred years.... more>>

“Mu-ryeong, let me make a request.”

After enrolling in high school, Mu-ryeong began to do simple exorcism work.

The apartment’s elevator is acting weird.
Someone is having constant nightmares.
Even things like getting rid of a stalker or acting as a boyfriend.

It was more of a problem-solver job than exorcism,
But Mu-ryeong, being someone who helped anybody,
There was nothing he couldn’t accept.

But even for Mu-ryeong, there was one person he avoided…

“Ki Hwan-young?”

Tall and handsome with a mysterious, intimidating aura,
And known for being impolite and having no friends.

One day, Ki Hwan-young came to see Mu-ryeong.

“My shoulders feel heavy lately.” <<less

Seon Wooyeon was someone who couldn't stand Alphas, both before and after presenting as an Omega.... more>>

The only exception was his private tutor, who happened to be not an Alpha. That's why Wooyeon couldn't correct him when he called him by the wrong name; it made his heart flutter too much.

"Yeon-ah."

"Teacher, are you going to the military?"

Four years after an unrequited first love, Wooyeon enters the same university as his teacher.

Even though he doesn't recognize him, Wooyeon recognizes him at first sight.

Kim Dohyun.

Those three letters made his heart flutter without reason.

However, he said, "...Are you an Alpha?"

Even though he had denied it before, his first love, the teacher, was actually an Alpha.

If he had known that fact, he might not have liked him.

Now was the time to straighten out the traces of the past.

"I'm Seon Wooyeon. Seon Wooyeon."

"Wooyeon. Your name is the same as a student I used to tutor." <<less
