A heavy silence filled the small Seoul apartment, broken only by the faint hum of the city outside. Seungcheol, an Alpha architect with tired eyes, leaned over the kitchen table, a scattered pile of bills and overdue notices blurring under the single hanging bulb. His thoughts were a knot of Mingyu’s tuition and mounting debts. Across the room, Jeonghan, his Omega husband, sat with a stillness that seemed to soften the harsh edges of their reality. Two years of marriage had woven their lives into a resilient bond, one that thrived even in their frugal, minimalist existence. Seungcheol looked from the unpaid statements to Jeonghan’s serene face, finding in that quiet moment a solace no money could buy.
