Chapter 4: PROS AND CONS
A BETA turning into an Omega?
Ridiculous.
Moreover…
"I can see the appeal of Omegas, but I must say the cons outweigh the pros," Garam said, quickly standing up and turning around to face Song Sihyuk who was lusting after his butt earlier. Fortunately, the Alpha was looking at his face now and not his body. "Omegas are actually preferred by the industry that I want to enter."
Song Sihyuk raised an eyebrow. "You must be talking about the entertainment industry, then. Are you planning to be a celebrity? An actor, perhaps?"
"No— I'm actually an idol trainee."
In a crappy company, though.
But, to be honest, he wasn't expecting much from that path.
I just followed a hyung I trust there.
That was why Garam still studied well even though some of his peers had already dropped out of school to focus on training.
He couldn't do the same because it would be a waste of his brains.
This may sound arrogant of him, but he was smart.
In fact, he got an early admission because he passed Yonhee University's college entrance exam with flying colors.
Unlike his classmates who had to wait until next month— January— for the release of the result of their chosen university's regular admission, he could relax and enjoy his winter break that would start tomorrow.
Yes, it was already his break from school.
That was why he made time to make a presentation for Kang Byungho today.
Unfortunately, Ahjussi isn't here.
"An idol trainee, huh?" Song Sihyuk said, crossing his legs— probably to hide his erection, even though Garam had already seen it. "You have more of an actor's visual than an idol's, though. You're handsome, after all."
"I know that," Garam said, nodding. "Most entertainment companies prefer debuting Omegas since most Omegas are pretty and delicate-looking. That's the current trend."
"You know that, and yet you still chose to be an idol trainee?"
"Well, I have the talent to be one. Plus, there are different types of idol fans. I'm sure I'll find a few who prefer handsome boys over the pretty ones."
Garam didn't say much on purpose because he wanted to save it for later.
My PPT presentation is actually related to my idol career.
Song Sihyuk beamed while nodding. "You're right. I'd be your fan if you debut as an idol."
"Liar. You just said earlier that you prefer pretty Omegas, Hyung."
"Tastes change, kid."
"How fickle," Garam said, sighing while shaking his head. "Anyway, if I turned into an Omega, then maybe I'd look prettier. So, that's the advantage."
"And the cons?"
"Alphas."
"Hmm?"
"Most Alphas target Omegas for bad reasons," Garam said, letting out a frustrated sigh. He had seen how the Alphas in his school bullied Omegas, so he knew what he was talking about. "Even if turning into an Omega would help me become more physically suited as an idol, I wouldn't take the chance. I don't want Alphas to come after me."
Song Sihyuk fell silent for a moment, and then he burst out laughing.
Tsk.
Why does this hyung keep laughing when I'm not trying to be funny?
If anything, Garam was aware that he had a boring personality.
I've been told that I'm too straightlaced, and that I can't read the room.
So, it was weird that Song Sihyuk kept laughing because of him.
"You're pretty naïve, aren't you?"
Lim Garam's pride was hurt after being called naïve, so he became a little defensive. "I'm the top student not only in my class, but in the entire school. I also got an early admission from Yonhee University, and they offered me a full scholarship grant—"
"You don't have to be an Omega to attract an Alpha, Lim Garam."
Oh.
The way Song Sihyuk looked at Lim Garam made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Heated gaze, lazy and sexy smile.
This hyung is seducing me.
Lim Garam unconsciously took a step away from Song Sihyuk.
If he didn't, he felt like the Alpha would devour him.
Even though he was a Beta, he could tell that Song Sihyuk was releasing pheromones with just one look in his sultry eyes.
This bad hyung is horny!
Garam rummaged through his backpack again, looking for his pepper spray this time.
"You may leave, kid."
"Huh?"
"I'll call you after the holidays," Song Sihyuk explained. "I'll listen to your PPT presentation by then."
"Why not now…"
Oh.
Garam trailed off when he realized why it wasn't the right time for that.
"Well, if you help me take care of this…" Song Sihyuk trailed off on purpose, then he uncrossed his legs and pointed at the bulge in his pants. "Then whatever your proposal is, I'll accept it— no questions asked."
To be honest, that offer was tempting.
After all, this person was not Kang Byungho.
Song Sihyuk looked like a jerk, so he might reject Garam's business proposal just because.
Having said that, I feel like this hyung would swallow me whole if I give him an opening.
And, so...
"Thank you for the offer, but no," Garam said, bowing to Song Sihyuk politely. But he also did that because he didn't know where to look. It wasn't like he enjoyed seeing the Alpha's erection. "Advance Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Sihyuk Hyung. See you next year. Goodbye!"
Garam heard Song Sihyuk laugh heartily while he was running out of the room.
That hyung is so easily entertained.
