Lee Chaegong Smiled

Please note that this work contains violent elements (child abuse, violence, self-harm, rape, gaslighting, etc.).

Lee Chaegong, a recessive omega who lived a shabby, miserable life, met dominant alpha Kwon Hyeonjo on a winter day when he was twenty, and fell instantly in love with the warmth he received for the first time in his life.

“Since I’m doing everything for free, you should do this much too. Right?”

But Kwon Hyeonjo, who had never been loved and never learned how to give it, was too wonderful.

Pushed to the edge of a cliff, Chaegong eventually gives up everything and leaves him.

Lee Chaegong, struggling desperately to survive, reunites with Hyeonjo because of some incident….

“I sent you away so you could live like this?”

Kwon Hyeonjo could have gone on living well for the rest of his life even if he never met Lee Chaegong again.

“How do you think I’ve been living?”

“Getting beaten up by alphas I don’t know, selling my body, and smiling like an idiot while I do it?”

But Lee Chaegong came back. No, Kwon Hyeonjo came looking for him.

No, really, they just met. By chance.

“You’re not my alpha.”

The Lee Chaegong he met again was a tattered rag, and Kwon Hyeonjo still liked that rag. Damn it.

A third-generation chaebol, handsome to a fault, and a dominant alpha besides. A man who has everything, yet the one thing he wants most.

On a cold winter day, he picks up Chaegong, a recessive omega, sitting bruised in an alley. Because he has always wanted to be someone meaningful, the moment he realizes Chaegong loves him, fear of losing that love drives him to make a terrible mistake.

✿ • Soo ( Bottom)
✿ • Lee Chaegong

His mother’s face is a blur, and his father is an alcoholic. Chaegong has always lived with his head bowed, miserably and quietly, like a mouse in a hole.

With nowhere else to go, he meets Hyeonjo while sitting in an alley. The warmth he receives for the first time feels too good to be true, but, as always, it does not last.
