Completed story.
Not a story I really enjoyed tbh. Jin SolYi found out that he is an omega days before starting a tabloid office job. When his boss finds out he is blackmailed into doing their work too, including getting a photo scoop on famous dominant alpha actor, Baek GiEun. But there are more people involved in bringing down Baek and when the actor catches Jin he decides to sexually blackmail him. So, there is plenty of levels of intrigue as you see why Baek is such a target and why Jin is caught up in this whole plot. That’s interesting but the rapey relationship turned love is such an outdated trope I can’t see why anyone would use it still. Worse, there was very little that Baek did while forcing Jin to make him appealing other than orgasms and as an omega, orgasms can be given by anyone with the pheromones that scratches that omega weakness. So, as I read this, I don’t get any intensity of desire from Baek or inner monologue that would have had me thinking that he was insanely driven by his own nature to bind Jin to him, or any hidden obsession or anything that could make me see that his raping and ignoring Jin’s pain was for anything other than his own petty nature and convenience. There was never any trust between the 2 as they were apparently falling for each other, it was just sex. Then suddenly, Jin was arguing with himself over falling for this creep and Baek was having moments of wondering if he pushed Jin too hard after hearing him sobbing. And next thing they seem to be helping each other and in love. Well for me, that just fizzled the whole thing. For a rape to love theme, there has to be some serious intensity or obsession or something to hook onto that let’s me see that this person would go crazy for the one they want. Not that they are just an asshole. And if they are just an asshole, some more angst over understanding what they did please.
