Yeongha is a talented practitioner of traditional Korean medicine, but ever since word got out that he’s an omega, business has been at an all-time low. Meanwhile, his teenage neighbor, Pureum, is also struggling to stay afloat in the midst of college entrance exams… and a devastating crush on his hot, older neighbor. But after one of Yeongha’s energy-boosting tonics turns Pureum from a beta into an alpha, the doctor will have to take responsibility for this medical miracle… in ways he never imagined.
