Didn't he buy that apartment by selling his own stuff? Am I making that up? I swear he sold some of his watches and other expensive stuff.
Honestly, at this point I might just mixing up manhua.

I wonder if his mom just assumed he used his father's money, and maybe her tune will change a bit when she finds out he didn't? It also feels like it's setting the scene for him to tell his parents about his relationship, for better or worse.
Side note:
There's also the cameo of the toxic ex right at the end? Ugh, I get a horrible feeling the ex will be at the internship, and we're headed into another drama spiral already.
Oh, and I am so proud of MC for keeping his cool and not blaming ML for what that girl said. ( ◜‿◝ )♡

I have a hypothesis that the MC is an unpresented omega, which would make sense given his parents being alpha/omega. What I mean is that he is genetically omega, but never went through the second gender puberty (aka presenting). I think ML found out either during their childhood, through testing his DNA, or snooping into his medical records, and now he's gungho to force the presentation.
So, I think it will work. BUT!! I don't think it will go as well as he planned. First, the MC wasn't originally bottom-leaning, and it will be a huge shock to his mental state to become an omega. He will probably feel betrayed by ML for quite a while. Second, the second ML is prolly gonna pop back into the picture once pheromones are in play, and they'll either have a close or direct sexual encounter.
Since the MC is already weak for the ML and this story is a touch cliche, he'll end up choosing the ML in the end. I think some dark shizz will hit that fan first that outs a lot of the ML's backstory, which will gain the MC's sympathy. Then they'll have a baby together. (That last sentence is just my hopeful thinking ♪~(´ε` ) )
Ooooor..... the MC presents before the meds can be applied and he's already knocked up. Choices.
(There's always the chance it doesn't work and MC stays beta, but that doesn't have the same story appeal, I guess? It'll take a much more psychological route than has been hinted at so far in the story.)

Who hates how the emperor manipulated the eldest sister. Personally, I hope they have a "on paper only" marriage and she divorces him when the contract is up, leaving him without an heir with their homeland's blood or abilities. I won't wish anything worse on him, but I sincerely don't wish him success in this endeavor.
The middle sister (older twin) is an idiot, but Theo is the sweetest. So, I wish them all the best. The younger twin and the magic dude are fine, but I personally vote for a quasi-offscreen romance.
Also, is the blonde child the emperor's younger brother or is he Theo's younger brother? Still not clear there since the translations are different.

If Garam actually overheard their convo and he's mad at Jaehyuk, that's some serious bs. Jaehyuk just made it absolutely clear how down bad he is for Garam and how protective he is of his man.
If he didn't hear anything, he should at least be giving Jaehyuk the benefit of the doubt. Dude has always been pretty transparent, even when he was a douche canoe. He's also had one of the strongest redemption arcs, where he's been dang near the embodiment if a green flag. Garam needs to stop taking his trauma out on Jaehyuk and punishing him at every perceived possibility of a slight.
Aaargh, so frustrating!! I feel so bad for Jaehyuk (Garam, too, but dude, trust your partner at least a little bit, damn), especially since this is their FIRST real date.

That'll teach the ML to respect boundaries and knock before barging into another adult's room.
Also, the bit about his dad hating him, driving him away, etc. because he looked like him. Then the saltiness that the ML didn't see it, bc if that wasn't true, then why did his dad always treat him like that. (And it's obvs that his dad treated him like that well before he was old enough to cause problems, so let's not victim blame.) That hurt.
His rationalization was hilarious, though.
The professor totally graped him, didn't he?
Yes I think
