"Why are you crying so much?"
"..."
"Do you always cry easily?"

That's the only conversation Haon could recall after waking up in a strange Alpha's bed.
It was familiar territory for Haon. Every time his Heat arrived, it brought with it both a pathological hunger and subsequent memory loss.
He tried to dismiss spending the night with this Alpha as just another one of those incidents... but then things took an unexpected turn.

"That student earlier looked like an Alpha."
"...Excuse me?"
"Your next-door neighbor is an Alpha, too."

He was the one who offered to drive Haon home, so why was he saying things like this?
As Haon was left completely confused by the Alpha's words, the man offered him his phone.

"I won't ask for anything in return, I'll just give you help."
"..."
"You just give me your number, Haon."

Haon has the unsettling feeling that he's stepped too deep into a kindness that feels strangely unfamiliar.
