Sailing Against the Current

[Main story complete, bonus chapters updating]

[High-maintenance, fake-tough alpha young master x tough but soft-hearted omega bodyguard]

Chief bodyguard Chu Yang was raised as an Alpha, only to be told at nineteen that he was about to present as an Omega.

He decided to change employers for a while and put off his presentation.

Three years later, the rebellious second young master finally gets grounded.

Chu Yang rushes back to the country to put out the fire, taking on the arduous task of providing 24-hour close protection (supervision) for his former employer.

Three years apart, Ling Yibo is still spoiled and headstrong, like a Rottweiler with an overdeveloped sense of territory.

Then, one day, his canine employer starts acting up.

And Chu Yang slowly realizes...

The gland at the back of his neck, which he had already discreetly taken care of, is showing signs of activity it shouldn't have.

As his heat approaches, the source of his desire is right next door. For the first time, Chu Yang finds it so hard to endure.

After tossing and turning for more than twenty minutes, he finally gives up resisting and sits up, parched.

He plans to go to the dining room for a drink of water.

The door opens, and a draft sweeps over him. Chu Yang shivers.

Ling Yibo is standing in the doorway.

The S-rank Alpha is wearing... a bite guard.

He is clearly wearing a bite guard, yet he looks like a wolf pretending to be tame.

Second Young Master Ling forcefully pushes the door open and locks it himself, leaving no way out.

Chu Yang: "Is this your new fashion accessory, Ling Er?"

"Opportunity favors the prepared."

Ling Yibo presses the lower half of his face, still wearing the bite guard, against Chu Yang's cheek. "Does this look good?"

Ling Yibo: Can you call me Young Master?

Chu Yang: ...No. It's too cheesy.

Ling Yibo: Then can you call me hubby?

Chu Yang: Sure, but that'll cost extra.

Ling Yibo: ?

A Few Notes:

1. Modern 1v1 romance, two strong leads who are mutually in love and dote on each other (emphasis on this), no children.

2. The leads are employer and bodyguard. The top is an S-rank Alpha; the bottom is an Omega who passes as a Beta, then presents as an Omega later. They're each other's first love. They bicker (and flirt) at the drop of a hat. The top is a high-maintenance, unconventional boss who makes a scene over everything; the bottom is a remarkably tough workaholic.

3. The young master's everyday life under house arrest. They reunite after a breakup right at the beginning. A pure romance, a sweet little love story.

Theme: Short-lived relationships need fuel to keep their light burning.
