World One: The ex-husband who ended up as a nightclub male model
If there was anything worse than falling so low that he had to work as a male model in a nightclub, the gong thought, it would be discovering that his first love, whom he'd treated like dirt as a teenager, had become the boss of his boss's boss.
Oh, no.
Now he was also his esteemed guest.
The gong thought the shou must hate him. He never expected the guy only hated him for not loving him.

World Two: The ex-husband who was once forced into a relationship and now has a child
The gong and shou's story began with a madman's love at first sight. Their relationship was passionate and explosive, and everyone in town knew about it. In the end, they both came away badly hurt.
He'd finally managed to escape, and now they wanted him to jump right back into the fire?
When they met again, the gong was holding his sister's child. He turned around and saw the shou.
The shou's fingers trembled around his cigarette. He murmured, "...You got married?"

World Three: The ex-husband who changed from an Omega to an Alpha
On the day he came of age, the gong differentiated from an Omega into an Alpha.
Because of the incompatibility between Alpha pheromones, his and the shou's perfectly legitimate Alpha-Omega engagement was naturally called off.
Though they'd once been inseparable, after regaining his Alpha instincts, the gong found the shou's look, as if he wanted to devour him alive, utterly repulsive. So he chose to forget those days.
However, on the eve of his arranged marriage to a sweet, delicate little Omega, the gong was bound to a romance system.
"...Go to hell."
More worlds to come!
