I like this. There are only 12 chapters as of now (15/3/23) but so far, everything has been enjoyable. The characters are a delight and no-one is annoying me. I read the comments first..as always and they talked about a love triangle. Now I immediately assumed that it was a love interest for the MC but that does not seem to be the case. Now the thing is, the MC is a architecture student so he looks upto a famous architecture..who happens to be someone that the seme is acquainted with (we don't know how yet). The guy seems to be interested in seme since he had that picture of him with the uke smiling..and it zoomed in on seme. Now this gives me 'guy from high position monitoring the guy he's obsessed with as if it's normal' vibe. The seme is very very pretty with platinum blonde hair, long eyelashes and pale skin( not my type, but he's a pretty guy). The uke is like Cale Henituse reincarnated, his semi-long hair that comes to the nape of his neck and his piercings as well as his style..I have never simped harder for a bottom (uke from (main couple) love so pure is a close second). The artstyle is also my style so everything is aligning in place. They have known eachother for 2O years, which we get a glimpse of from when the seme dreamed about their first encounter when they were in kindergarten. The seme had long hair then so he looked especially like a girl(a pretty one), the uke approached him first with him nudging closer to where he sat and commented that he looked like a princess. To which he gets mad at and is offended so he pulled up his shirt or pants and his jalapeno appeared (off-screen ofcourse, we don't wanna see a child's ding-a-ling). The uke cried at the sight to which the female teacher calmed him down with him on her lap, he fell asleep and we see the cutest most adorable child with tears in his eyes(they are closed btw). The seme is just as stunned as we are(first simp alert) and he leaned closer while clasping his hand muttering a 'sorry'(the teacher told him to apologise).
Now the deal with the cousin. She is the female replica of the seme. It is blatantly clear that she isn't interested in the uke in the slightest and her personality is what you would expect from her face tbh. She is very clear-cut and is straight-faced most of the time unless it's about the owner of the bar where the uke worked at(a female and a beta at that). The seme notices this and use it as bait for her to go along with his play. So that clears up the situation in ch1 when he asked for her number and said that it was for personal reasons. I thought he was bi and since this was an alpha×beta×omega manhwa, I didn't think a big deal of it. I assumed that the seme was a playboy and that uke was the one who liked him with them being sex buddies. Boy..was I wrong.
The cousin brought up an interesting point when the seme asked for every detail of her talk with the uke and him telling her not to let anything slip about him and his family to which she commented 'So u can know everything about him but he can't know anything about you?' to which he smiled and said 'Yep'. He hates when interviewers ask about his famous actress of a mom too(who we are informed is currently in UK, she immigrated there(?). He works as a model and is famous in the field as you would expect. He is a nepo baby with the looks and figure for it so..He is also very closed off with other people and has a 'no nonsense policy' example when a guy approached him talking about how he still doesn't have an omega's scent on him yet to which he offered a deal with his cousin having ties to procure some drugs that can let betas have pheromones or some shit. He replied to that with 'I already tried that and it don't work'...ummm S-sir?? He also warned him to know his place and not to act like he knows him or some shit.
The deal with the beta thing in this genre. Now I already know that alphas and omegas are like the...ideal pairing. Since they can both feel eachother's pheromones and omegas irregardless of their gender can get pregnant and have a womb. And it's been noted that betas can't feel most things an omega can (we see this when the uke commented that he isn't an omega so he can't 'feel' it when the seme was fingering him. Well..he proved him wrong when he touched his G-spot). We even see the seme searching in the net for how 'a beta can be turned to an omega'. I figure that's the only thing holding him back from making things official with him since society and all other stuffs. The thing that came up when he searched that you was comical...it was basically like 'You should love yourself. It is not a surprise that you would want to be an omega or alpha since they are the minority(oh..the irony) but you should be proud of your identity'. To which he had a "trauma" on..with the emoji used, he even asked the uke not to use that emoji anymore while they were texting eachother.
The sex thing. So the uke claims he likes the cousin, to which the seme says that she pegs guys to ward him off but he is resolute to change himself to fit her taste. He further added on that she likes guys blindfolded and hand-cuffed (which are his fears..he can't stand the darkness and being tied up), he expects him to give up at his point but he is adamant that he can do it. So they ended up doing it...slowly and over time ofcourse. He started fingering him with two fingers first but the uke has a 'no kissing' policy since there was nothing between them anyway to which the seme think 'he is OK with me sticking my dick in but he has a problem with my tongue ?'( I weirdly agree with the uke in this, kissing is much more personal and intimate than sex I feel). Also it was comical how the seme was so offended whenever the uke whips out the giant dildo that he purchased. But I agree with him, sticking that thing in his tiny asshole is incredibly risky. But I don't condone how he tricked him when he was scared to do it by wearing that silly eye-mask and when his guard was down, thrusted and filled him half-way then all the way in eventho he promised him to only do it half-way. He compared it to a pediatrician and called it 'something trick' which the uke responded with 'am I a child?' Now, like the alpha is certain that the uke likes him..I agree with that take and I think it is made abundantly clear that the beta likes him as well. There is no way he fell that fast and hard for the cousin. His first impression when he saw her was 'The resemblance is uncanny'. Then he likes her and is supposedly willing to do all these absurd things for her. Nuh-uh, you can't fool me. I think because he is aware that he can't be with him by normal means since he is a beta, he resorted to this. He himself might not be aware of this, I would be pleasantly surprised if he were. He feels safe with him, I still think he hasn't overcome his trauma (can't wait till that is explored) but he seems to think he overcame it since he could withstand being handcuffed and blindfolded (remember this was when the seme was with him). Also the scene when he was a stand-in for some online modelling gig so his neck was scratched(by him) when he was asked to change in the dressing room. He even asked if there were another dressing-room available. The thing that bugs me is the seme is aware of everything alluding to the uke, even that trauma since it happened 10 years ago and they are basically joined at the hip for 20 years... give or take. But he doesn't know anything about him, which the seme makes sure of. The cousin also confirmed (for us) the reason the uke wasn't aware of her existence and that she was his cousin was because he probably made a fuss to his friends not to tell him. The uke's behaviour and response to some of the seme's actions are interesting.. when he suspects the reason the seme asked his boss for her number, he acts like it doesn't bother him and doesn't let that show or when he assumes that the seme hooks up with a lot of random people when he said that he practiced( the uke asked how he was so good at sex since he didn't have any partners that he was aware of). He had on a monotone expression and just willed himself not to think about it. I thought that it would come up but he hasn't let it show. Very very impressive.. with his personality, you would assume that he won't be able to hide anything and blurt everything out or be very emotional but that is not the case. Umm..also the seme supposedly 'trains' the uke's body so he can feel 'it' even more than a omega so that he would be able to get aroused.
