Adam took the clothes and held them awkwardly.
Adam:
"Can you… uh… turn around?" 😶
Noel:
"OH— yeah sorry."
Immediately spins around like a malfunctioning robot.
Adam: slight smile appears ☺️
(Why… why does it feel like she understands my pain?
Girl… if you're also an omega…
we're living together, ok?
Because you make me feel like
I'm not alone anymore… 😊)
He glances at the unconscious man on the floor.
(…but judging by this mess,
she's definitely NOT an omega. 😐)
Noel suddenly:
"You know something?" 😁
Still not turning back
Adam: "What?" 😐
Noel:
"If Mr King finds out his people are suffering like this,
I BET on my whole salary—
he will definitely help you. 😤"
Adam: "Why do you trust him that much?" 😐
Noel: 🤔
"There is something called believe.
I believe he can help, so he will.
Simple math.
And you— you also need to believe someone, okay?" 😤
Adam stares at Noel's back, surprised.
Adam:
"…Yeah. I will try." 😐
He finishes dressing.
Adam:
"I'm done."
Noel spins back.
"Great! Shall we go then?" 😁
Adam: "Where?" 😐
Noel:
"To the palace, obviously.
Your house is broken, unsafe, and smells like bad decisions.
Come with me. You'll be safe there." 😤
Adam:
"But what if a problem arises…
because I look somewhat similar to the king?" 😐
Noel:
"I'm telling you na—
Just BELIEVE it." 😤
Adam looks at her…
then looks down nervously.
Adam:
"…Okay." 😐
(This is the first time I'm believing someone…
please don't break my trust… 😞) Slowly bowed down
Noel suddenly grabs his chin and lifts his face.
Noel:
"Hey. An omega should NEVER bow their head to anyone.
Even if it's their own family." 😊
Adam: 😶 shock.exe loading…
A sudden FLASH in his mind—
A warm voice from his childhood:
Unknown voice:
"An omega should never bow their head to anyone…
even to family, my little one." 😊
Adam freezes.
(Who… was that voice? 😱
Why does it sound like… someone important?)
