Jian was fucking rich, even richer than a high paying government employee. However, in elite societies money was not everything. Baek Jian could have credit and debit cards, but the staff of his house was taking pictures of his food and was sending it somewhere.

Minwoo took a purse from Jian’s closet and put the diary inside, then exited his room. As he was descending the stairs he saw two beta, one man another woman walking towards his room. Seeing him, they stopped and bowed.

“Please change the covers of the duvet and pillows into white as well.” He instructed, “I will renovate the room, for now the covers being white will be fine.” The nodded and Minwoo quickly descended the stairs.

He opened the door to the outer corridor and found Seojoon standing on guard.

“Ah you are here.” Minwoo said, “I want to go to buy some clothing. Can you drive me?”

Seojoon stared at him for a few seconds before saying “Of course, please.” They start to walk towards the main door.

“Where do you want to go?” The beta asked when they enter the lift.

Minwoo pursed his lips, “I don’t remember where I used to regularly go.” He confessed, “Do you know?”

“Well Sajang-nim has a personal tailor, same with everyone in the family.” Seojoon supplied, “You mostly went to the malls for shopping.” Then he stopped and asked with caution, “Are you going to buy clothes because you don’t like your existing ones?”

“Yes.” Minwoo nodded, “How did you know?”

Seojoon smiled slightly, “Actually I was the one that fetched these clothing in the hospital when you rejected the usual ones.” He looked younger when he smiled, “I was worried that it wouldn’t suit your taste.”

“No it’s fine, thank you.” Minwoo smiled, “I have asked the staff to empty my closet today so I can buy new clothes, also I will renovate the bedroom so please arrange that.”

The beta bowed his head slightly to acknowledge his instructions.

As they exited the lift Minwoo’s phone rang, he pulled it out of his pocket to see it was Taemin.

“Oh Hyung!” Minwoo answered while getting inside the car.

Taemin’s smooth voice spoke from the other side, “Jian-ah did you reach home? I sent Dohyun-ah today to pick you up. Did he send you home properly?”

Minwoo recalled how Dohyun only left him at the entrance of the building, “Yes. No problem at all.” He lied, “I ate lunch now I am going shopping.”

“Shopping?” Taemin was surprised, “Why? Did something happen to your wardrobe?”

“Not much.” Minwoo answered, “I just don’t like the clothes, it’s too gaudy.”

“Is that to?” Taemin didn’t really oppose it, “Then have fun. I could join but Seoa is coming home tonight, and I have to prepare dinner.”

After Minwoo cut the call he wondered who Seoa was, but he shrugged. It was not the issue right now.

As per instructions, the car drove him to a mall Minwoo used to visit back when he worked in the office but never had enough money to even touch their clothing. He liked their beta section; their omega section might not be bad as well. Though he can always create combination outfits from both of their sections.

As he entered the mall, he found out there were a lot of changes since five years ago. However, entering the public space first time since he had entered this body, he noticed something that he didn’t realise in the hospital, in the car or in his house.

The pheromones. When he was a beta he barely noticed pheromones, he vaguely registered the biology of alpha and omega but since it didn’t concern him he didn’t really pay attention. Betas were in the middle of the whole hierarchy; they didn’t react to anything and thus they have a lot of advantages in medical, security or manging field.

However, now that he was in the body of an omega his entire biology had changed and each time he entered lift or passed by people he couldn’t help but scrunch his nose from the blasts of pheromones from alphas and omegas both.

He made a mental note to talk to Taemin about it. He had some knowledge about alpha ruts because he used to handle Dohyun’s ruts and from the sterile smell from the alpha he was probably under high dosage of suppressants. Jian also had heat suppressants in his drawer as well. He also probably needed to visit the hospital about it.

Being an omega was hard, back in his teenage years when his mother blamed his father for giving birth to a beta. Yet, his father always said Minwoo was lucky to be a beta, because he couldn’t be used a pawn by his mother.

“We have arrived.” Seojoon informed him as they exited the lift.

Minwoo entered the shop and as if magic the shop assistant quickly approached him, “Good afternoon.” She greeted, “Please come in.”

He flashed her a smile and went to the section he wanted to buy clothing from. The beta and omega section both were nearby thankfully. He was glad the alpha section was far because the last thing he wanted was alphas stinking up the whole place and assault his already sensitive nose.

Minwoo stared at the clothing pieces, a vague outfit forming in his head mixed with the colour combination. As Han Minwoo, he also used to experiment using colours and clothing items, but he didn’t have enough disposable income to indulge in the hobby. He also didn’t want to attract unnecessary judgement for shopping in omega section, despite his own lack of it. In the hospital when he saw average omega clothing, he really thought something was genuinely wrong with it.

Now he had money sitting in the bank to exactly do what he used to, do back then. So he started taking out the clothing item from the racks and put it in the basket, the fabric quality was good, far better than the ones he used to buy.

“Let me hold it.” Seojoon offered to hold the basket from him, Minwoo only nodded his full concentration on the clothes.
