The weekend light filters through the living room, casting a warm glow on the domestic tableau. An Alpha workaholic, diagnosed with heart disease at twenty-eight, sits with his Omega husband, Lee Euijae, and their four-year-old son, Jinhu. Five years of marriage have forged a quiet intimacy; Eunjae rests his head on his spouse’s shoulder, vigilant yet tender, having strictly managed the Alpha’s diet and banned smoking to protect his failing heart. The Alpha smiles, watching Jinhu play, savoring the fragile peace. But the atmosphere shatters instantly. A sudden, violent agony pierces the Alpha’s chest, like a knife’s edge. His hands fly to his sternum, gripping tight, the serene family portrait dissolving into panic as the pain overtakes him.
