When I arrived at the hotel, my colleagues who were on duty early were no longer in a hurry. Because of their hurry, I felt pressured to hurry, so I went straight to the locker room to change my clothes. 

I'm just a bellboy, but I know that this is also an important position in the hotel. While I was changing, there was a knock, and when I looked, I saw our supervisor. 

"Haru, do you have a minute?"

"Ah, just wait, sir." I immediately answered and then quickly put on my uniform. 

He went out; that's why I also went out, and when we entered a room, we were immediately looked at. Even my teammates inside the hotel that I always see and socialize with in the locker room also look at me strangely. 

I bowed down. Is it wrong for an omega to work? I know that we're kind of troublesome, especially when our heat is near, but still... We're still humans. We still need to work for a living. 

Why do we have to be discriminated against by them? 

Is it because we don't have a backer? Or is it just because I'm poor? 

I just ignored their looks and just followed our supervisor, who also lined up at the very edge. 

"You probably already know why you're here, don't you?" said the supervisor. I don't know yet, but I don't have the courage to ask. "For those who don't know yet, there will be a big event, and it will be held at our hotel. Two big companies will be celebrating, and they have chosen us to serve them," our supervisor informed. "I want to let you know that I have chosen you to help provide food to the guests and important people. I tell you, this is an important event. Don't you ever try to destroy it," said our supervisor, who gave us a warning. 

"Sir!" exclaimed a beta male, raising his hand. "It's not about discriminating against the omegas, but what about Haru? We don't know when his heat is. It's also certain that there are many omegas in that event," he said. 

It looks like a concern, but it's not. I really feel that he doesn't want to be with me at this event. I just don't know why. 

Our supervisor frowned. "Are you really concerned or because you know that Alphas prefer Omegas over Betas? I'm telling you, don't try to make trouble there. If you're worried about Haru, don't worry, there's a heat suppressor," our supervisor said sharply. 

I bowed down. 

My heat is still next month. Before I entered the hotel, I had just finished my heat. 

I really want to tell them that, but I don't have the courage. I shouldn't be ashamed of being an omega, but...

I mentally shrugged my head. 

No, I'm not ashamed to be an omega. My only problem is that Alphas are around. 

After our meeting, I immediately went to our supervisor's office. 

I knocked. 

"Come in," I heard someone say from inside. 

"Sir?" I called as I opened the door and peeked in. 

"Oh, Haru, what is it?" he asked, returning his gaze to the documents in front of him. 

"Sir, can I no longer be among the people who will be serving at the event? I have these bad feelings about this event. Also, there are many people who want to be a part of it. I'll give them my slot, sir."

"Haru," my supervisor interrupted what I was about to say. "I know you have a bad experience with Alphas based on my observation. You always associate yourself with Betas or sometimes alone. Don't you think this is the right time to fix it? I mean, you don't have to be afraid of Alphas. As long as you did nothing wrong," he said. 

I just bit my lip. That's not what we want to happen. I've tried that a few times. I also want to feel comfortable with other Alphas. 

There were so many things I wanted to say to my supervisor, but none of them came out of my mouth. It seems like everything I say is only in my mind. 

"Look, Haru," he said gently. "Gather your courage, because I won't change my mind."

My emotions were complicated when I went out of my supervisor's office. I don't really want to, but there's nothing I can do because, by chance, I'll lose my job. 

In the end, I called Kenji. 

"Why don't you try it?" I heard Kenji say when I told him everything. "I know your suffering, and I am aware of your anxiety, but this really is a good chance for you to face your fear. If anyone ever did anything bad to you at that event, let me know, and I will drag him to hell," he added. 

I don't know, but those words kind of make me feel secure. 

"But-"

"Haru, there's also a chance that you'll meet your fated pair there. That's one of the reasons why your supervisor is sending you there. He wants you to be able to have genuine happiness."

After our short call, I returned to work. I just helped with what was needed for the event, and the main hall of the hotel is really decorated luxuriously. Getting rich is different. Even the plates, spoons, forks, glasses, and foods were expensive. I don't want to because I feel like I could break a glass. Maybe just one more glass is my full salary. 

Still, I want to find him. My fated pair. 

THE DAY HAS COME. The most feared day I ever encountered. Everything is ready in the main hall, and even the hotel rooms are all packed up, so there are no hotel rooms available now. 

I still fulfill my job as a bellboy, even though I am part of the food and beverage team at the event. But I only choose the people I deliver to. Mostly, Betas. I don't deliver Alphas to their room. 

I have been giving the Alphas to other bell boys and bell girls, and they are really quite happy with it. I don't care. 

"Hey!" a man called me. 

I turned around. Suddenly, my chest started pounding, and it felt like something was strange around me. 

Alpha! 

My whole system screamed danger! 

I immediately pulled Joan. "Jo, go grab that Alpha."

I immediately left when I told Joan that, and I still can feel the stare on my back from that Alpha. I really hope he doesn't hold a grudge against me. 

But what is it? 

Why do I feel drowned by his stare? Why do I feel like I want

to grab his collar and kiss him right then and there? 

I felt my face go red. 

Oh gosh, Haru. You're in trouble. Really in trouble.
