This has so much post-abandonment-arc vibes already that it absolutely doesn't need an abandonment arc.
What they truly need is communication
Yes, as a matter of fact they need "family" therapy. Haha. Sadly, the raws haven't shown them communicating at all. Its just ...(I won't spoil).
SPOIL IT
Spoiler!!
They just keep this messy dynamic until the end, bottom is always pissed and solves everything with sex and top stays a crybaby who just puts up with it. I read this spoiler some time ago so not sure if its true or not but seems like it will be that way because neither of them knows how to open their mouths and talk lol
Its true.
Alpha not only does he rely on sex, but he believes having other partners is completely normal. The Beta catches him one night and that makes the beta finally take action! He confronts the Alpha tells him a piece of his mind and the Alpha explodes! Finally communication!
*Sigh* They communicate to a certain extend, but not completely. Alpha stops being sex partners with the Omega we know, and the beta is caught up in a dilemma with a bully and his boss from the cafe. Beta is fighting to become independent, but guess who fucking betrays him! The Cafe boss! The boss forces the Beta to go back home with the Alpha, where the Alpha literally becomes do possessive and angry and forces himself on him. The Beta's bully is hinted to begin an Omega so Alpha explodes. My Korean its not that great so im probably wrong on the bully being Omega, but he did have pheromones and the alpha did smell them on the Beta.
Mmm nope. The cafe boss doesn’t force him to go back to the alpha. She promises not to spill the beans about his classmate but for the alpha it’s pretty obvious because the beta smells like another alpha. That drives him crazy. And it’s not that he is ok with having other partners, he doesn’t want things to change but even now he can’t have sex with other people because the beta is the only one actually compatible with him. The moment he decides to be together with the beta he breaks other relationships with other. Btw he needed that omega to try to stabilize his pheromones, it’s not like they were actual lovers and he was upfront about that.
On another note, beta doesn’t trust alpha words, that’s why he’s trying hard to be an independent adult who can be relied on.
That alpha needs therapy. He needs to learn to let go. Hear me out... the entire reason he is ok with being a sexual partner for the beta is because he needs the emotional attachment to whom he believes is a family member. Alpha believes that as long as he gives his away the beta will stay. He doesn't see the hurtful consequences of his actions. Perhaps alpha will need an abandoned arc, but when will we have it is what keeps me reading. Yes. The spicy scenes are gorgeous but they hurt and give out 2nd hand embarrassment.
