Before imprinting, if you were influenced by an unspecified number of opposite traits, now everything is decided by only one partner.

In other words, if you are severely rejected emotionally and physically by your partner, the first reaction comes from the body. The pain of tearing his body apart like now.

However, this phenomenon mainly appeared in Omega. Omegas are naturally dependent on Alpha’s pheromones.

But Adam was an alpha.

Alpha was rarely affected.

The problem was that he relied on Haewon as much as the omega, which relies on alpha. So this pain was inevitable in a way.

Because Haewon was everything to him.

It was the meaning of existence itself.

“Adam…”

Hae-won carefully looked at Adam and suddenly came to her senses and got up. This is because she thought that even this might be acting.

Hae-won stepped back and widened the distance from Adam.

Meanwhile, Adam didn’t respond much. He was just hardened like a wounded and crouched beast.

“Haewon…”

Adam looked very emaciated in a short time as to what had happened.

“Don’t go, please.”

He even added again whether he thought Hae-won would not have heard it because of his small voice.

“I’ll explain everything. Give me one more chance. Yes?”

A pleading voice caught Hae-won. When she looked at his injured arm while turning her head, she felt the urge to run and hug him.

“No, I can’t.”

Hae-won shook her head inward and moved further away from Adam. And she ran outside, turning a blind eye to Adam, who was trembling pitifully.

Why hasn’t he contacted me yet?’

When there was no news until the next evening, Li Yuyen eventually visited Adam himself.

“Excuse me.”

Li Yu-yen opened the front door and greeted loudly on purpose.

But there was no return answer. There was nothing but silence in the house. Somehow it was a chilling silence.

‘Did he leave the lights on? You don’t know how scary electricity bills are these days.’

Seeing the living room lights color the hallway, Li Yuyen thought little of it.

When he thought of Adam, who would be having fun with Hae-won by now, he suddenly got annoyed.

“I thought someone else had time to spare to come all the way here…….”

The moment he reached the living room.

Li Yuyen’s heart sank at the sight of Adam lying on the floor.

“A-Adam!”

He shouted out loud in surprise, but Adam didn’t even move. He was like a corpse pulled out of the water.

“Hey, wake up!”

Li Yuyen shook Adam to wake him up and looked around. Medical tools and bandages remained intact on the coffee table.

There was no sign of anyone breaking in.

“Where is Seo Haewon?”

“Haewon…”

Adam’s body flinched when he said Haewon’s name. He managed to lift his heavy eyelids.

“Didn’t she stay with you until yesterday?”

Thanks to Li Yu-yen, who again inquired about Hae-won’s whereabouts, Adam realized that she had completely left. He also found out that he had fainted for more than a day in this state.

“It’s too loud.”

The ensuing chatter rang a bell.

He barely opened his mouth, but somehow he couldn’t speak. Adam, who was just smacking his lips like a child who had just learned to speak, was irritated.

And a deep sense of helplessness came.

Haewon left.

He couldn’t change her mind at the end.

“…She.”

“What?”

Adam muttered something, but his voice was so small that it didn’t sound comprehensible.

Li Yuyen slightly bowed his head and put his ear to it. Only then did he finally understand what Adam was saying.

“…… left.”

“She’s gone…? Leaving you alone?”

Adam slowly raised his upper body. The figure was almost like an animal awakened from hibernation, or, attacked by predators, and his whole body was limp.

“Are you all right?”

Li Yuyen carefully examined Adam’s complexion.

In fact, Adam didn’t look okay at all at a glance. The new bandage was soaked with blood, and on the other hand, his face was pale without blood.

“Hey, let’s put the bandage back on first. You’re going to get a scar.”

Li Yuyen returned with disinfectant and gauze. Adam looked at them intently and turned his head.

“Don’t want to get treated?”

Li Yu-yen asked back with a triumphant look.

Adam struggled to get up, touching the floor, and staggered away somewhere to avoid the treatment.

“Where are you going? Come on!”

Li Yuyen took the disinfectant and followed Adam. Adam was walking so slowly that he couldn’t even get ahead of him and had no choice but to follow him.
