Tensegrity

Junhee was 4 years older than Junkyung. Anyone who saw Joon-hee and Jun-kyung thought that Jun-kyung was the older brother. It has been like that since Jun-kyung became a senior in elementary school.Jun-kyung was an aspiring judo student who boasted of outstanding skills. As such, he was taller than his peers.

Compared to him, Junhee had a rather thin physique for a man, and his skin was exceptionally light. He had well-groomed features and was nowhere near rough or ferocious. Unlike Jun-kyung, his hair was thin and his eyebrows were bright with bright lips and lone eyelashes.

Although his appearance look someone of a woman, his shoulders were quite angular and his skinny body was flat back and forth, so he didn’t feel like a woman at all.

‘Born to be Omega.’

It was the sound that had followed Junhee from the days he attended daycare. The irony was that it was not Junhee who appeared as an Omega.

“Coffee?”

“Do you have decaf? I am working early tomorrow.”

“Are you making me do more work as soon as I am off? I am telling you they are better off.”

Junhee prepared decaffeinated coffee with the skill of the manager on behalf of the part-time students who were busy serving customers receiving coffee orders every 2-3 minutes. Without needing to say, an iced latte with a little milk and a lot of water came out to suit Junkyung’s taste.

It was the middle of the evening, so the cafe was full of people coming in for a coffee after dinner. While Junhee and the other two part-timers were frantically processing orders, Junkyung sat down at a table in the corner and quenched his thirst with a cool coffee.

Originally, business was very good, but today there are unusually many customers. As a result, unwashed blenders and cake plates piled up in the sink. There was no one to wash the dishes right away.

Jun-kyung took off his jacket and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt. When he bent over his tall stature and washed the dishes that were pushed, he felt relieved as if Junhee and other part-timers had lived, and wash the dishes one after another.

As the number of guests decreased to some extent, one of the part-time workers began to push Jun-kyung out and wash the dishes.

“It was hard, I survived because of you.”

“What do you mean? I’m hungry, let’s go eat.”

“I have to feed the kids first.” While the part-time students had lunch and break, a familiar middle-aged couple entered the cafe. It was his parents.

“Oh, when did Jun-kyung come?”

“A little while ago.”

“Without contact? If I had known, I would have come sooner without eating.” His parents handed him a card apologetically telling him to go out and eat because he took care of the cafe. Jun-hee accepted the card and left the cafe with Jun-kyung.

Jun-hee enjoyed carbohydrates more than protein, but Jun-kyung was only a protein fan. Without saying anything, Junhee headed to a nearby meat restaurant.

“It’s new here and it’s delicious.”

A lot of red meat was put on the grill, regardless of whether it was beef or pork. Jun-hee held out the roasted meat for Jun-kyung. While Jun-kyung ate two or three pieces at a time while Jun-hee grilled.

“Now I’m going to grill it, so you eat some too.”

After Jun-kyung grabbed the tongs without asking, Jun-hee started eating meat, and Jun-kyung asked while filling soju, “You said you are closing the cafe later?”

“It’s okay. Our staff know how to do it.”

Jun-kyung, who handed the bottle of soju to Jun-hee, picked up the empty glass.

“You have a car. If you get caught drinking, you will be cut off immediately.”

“You can call the assistant manager.”

Junhee smiled and filled Junkyung’s cup. The cup was emptied and refilled in an instant. When meat and alcohol were added at the same time, he felt better, and at the same time, his mouth was busy.

“How’s work? Aren’t you ignoring people just because you are working in conglomerate now?”

“Not really, Madam I work for is even kinder than my mother.”

“Okay? That’s interesting.”

“Chaebols are people too. While running the wife’s errands, I meet a lot of people, and one of them even looks like Jae-Joon.”

When the name of his immature cousin who had just entered college came out, Junhee laughed.

“He call me Hyung so I think he’s just a person with a lot of aegyo.”

“Why is a tall bastard showing aegyo that he doesn’t even show to his own brother?” It was an insult but the tone was soft. “How about his brother?”

“He’s different from the other one, there are some cute things about him, but the other brother is just like what you see on TV….”

Jun-kyung, who had been talking up to that point, bit his mouth. Junhee who just ate a piece of meat
looked with strange eyes.

“Why? Who’s on TV?”

“Just someone. He looks like a third generation chaebol who jumped out of TV.”

“What kind of person is he?”

Junkyung frowned . That’s his habit when he’s contemplating. Jun-hee, who is well acquainted, placed the cooked meat on his brother’s plate in front of him and waited patiently for an answer.

“His skin is like a human, but the inside is like a machine? It looks like an alien with a human skin on it, but for a moment, he feels like a normal human again, so I’m confused.”

“Really?”

No matter how old you are, you shouldn’t bring out personal details from work. If you accidentally leak it to another person, you will be fired faster than being caught drunk driving. Additionally, defamation lawsuits may arise. Jun-hee, who knew this well too, stop inquiring.

“It’s  creepy to even make eye contact. I don’t think it’s a poker face made by training. I can tell due to my natural instinct.”

Heir to a conglomerate with psychopathic tendencies. It’s plausible. In fact, there were many crazy people among the descendants of the chaebol.

When he meets and drinks with people from the security department, he often hears cases that make him insane enough to wonder if he is a human being. Such characters often appear in the news for the abuse of power, and in recent dramas, a psychopath conglomerate has appeared as a villain character.

What if Min Hyun-seung is a psychopath, even though it’s a rumor that has no basis and is similar to bullshit? The evidence would be the visual and gloomy voice that makes people creepy for no reason?

“Is your boss really that bad? That’s not good.” As soon as Junkyung think seriously, Junhee smiled.

“I didn’t say he was a chaebol.”

“If it’s the people you meet on errands for your employer, anyway, he’s not an ordinary person. As the saying goes, don’t think too hard and just have a drink.”

The soju glass was full again. Junhee seems to let go and adds more meat and soju. It’s been a long time since Junkyung had a good time with his brother so even Jun-kyung didn’t stop him. He go to work tomorrow, so three or four bottles of soju are enough.

After eating meat with soju as an accompaniment, they parted ways and enjoyed using their mother’s card. Jun-hee immediately went back to the cafe, and Jun-kyung called the assistant manager and headed home. On the way, he got a call. It was his mom.

“Yes, Mom.”

– Are you going right away?

“Yeah, I’m going to work early tomorrow.”

– You should’ve call ahead and come. Then, Mom would make something delicious for you.

“Even so, I enjoyed the meat with mom’s card.”

– That’s good, always take care. And you know what? Since you are working for a conglomerate, find out if there are good people around you.  There are many alphas among the chaebols, so your partner…”

Junkyung felt a sudden intoxication at the sudden hook. He took a deep breath as he straightened his body.

“Mom, at what age am I that I need to already be looking for someone? And as I said before I…..”

-I know, I know.

His mother hastily cut him off. But Junkyung didn’t stop.

“I don’t care about that and you know that.” There was annoyance in his voice.

– No, you might change your mind in life.

“There is nothing else to change!” The assistant manager driving the car was startled when he screamed.

– Okay. Okay, Mom was wrong.

Only after screaming did his mother back off.

“Find brother a good person then. He’s all right, and he’s the cafe manager, and he’ll inherit the property in the future, but how come there’s no woman at all.”

– That’s what I’m saying. Ugh.

Junkyung turned the arrow pointing at him to Junhee, but he didn’t feel guilty at all. This is because Jun-hee, who lives with his parents, used Jun-kyung more often.

She quickly said farewell and hung up her phone. When Junkyung looked outside, he glanced at the assistant manager, wondering if he was curious. Still, he didn’t bother talking.

The damn gender problem will haunt Jun-kyung for the rest of his life.

Instead of coming into estrus on a regular basis, alphas and omegas have a long lifespan, is resistant to various diseases, and have good brains. Alphas mostly male and omega mostly female.

Jun-kyung had been living his whole life as a beta male, but suddenly appeared as an Omega in the spring of his sophomore year in high school. It was an extremely rare case where the latent omega organ developed as the omega hormone was released late.

Rather, like other Omegas, if it appeared when he was in elementary school, even if he was surprised, he would have adapted in its own way. Puberty happened long after he was in high school.
