I saw it on social media, and the video goes something like this: "Have you ever wondered looking at someone, like what's on their mind?" ...that thing... yup, I'm thinking about it in my daily life, from dawn to dusk... what the f*ck is he thinking? ... wait a minute! ... I'm sure you're wondering the same thing right now. Let me explain my issue. Let's fly back 23 years for that…

23 years ago... 1997 June 20, the day that was devoured by rain, a beautiful boy was born in a private hospital, to a couple named Louis Isaack and Anna Isaack. He was the couple's second child. They named him Alan Isaack, me... I was born into a great home, with loving parents and a caring sister... Her name is Lia Isaack, by the way. So, although we were a middle-class family, our love and happiness were abundant. I was depressed the day I discovered I was an Omega, but my family cheered me up. My sister is an Alpha, yet her love and concern for me have never wavered. I was overjoyed. My family encouraged me to pursue a career as a writer. Every day I thanked God for giving me such a wonderful family.

But, as someone once remarked, "happiness is not everlasting"... a tragedy snuffed out our bliss in an instant. Our father died as a result of a cardiac condition. Our father was a very ordinary Alpha man who adored his wife and children and lived for them without regard for his health. My mother took over the running of Father's stationery shop, and I assisted her. My sister obtained a position as an assistant manager at Abram Firm soon after graduation since she was clever and smart from a young age.

Even after a devastating loss that cannot be replaced, we all pulled together. That's when Lia began dating the CEO of the Abram Group, namely its heir. Mr. Joshua Alice Abram is the ideal Dominant Alpha. We were overjoyed since Joshua was a good person who cared for and loved my sister and lacked the complexes that other wealthy Alphas have. He came to see us frequently with Lia, and we got along great. They intended to marry. Everything was going swimmingly until Lia came home depressed one day. When we inquired, she informed us of what Joshua's Alpha mother and family had indicated.

"Joshua has an elder twin brother, but owing to a childhood accident, he suffers from Amnesiac Syndrome. He lives alone in the separate complex of their house. As a result of his illness, he has a short temper and a harsh demeanor. He said that things worsened after their mother died. She was the one who looked after him, and once she died, he began living alone. Now comes the problem: Joshua's mother wants to find a mate for him as well, and she wants to marry both of his sons on the same day." That's basically what she said.

They had no objections to Joshua marrying my sister; they simply didn't want him to marry before his brother. My mother and I attempted to cheer up Lia. Then after a few days, we received a letter from the Abram family, inviting us to their grandmother’s birthday party. We proceeded to the party, which was, as predicted, aristocratic and sumptuous. As Joshua's in-laws, we were introduced by his mother. That was very assuring. But then another big bang theory occurred, which altered the course of my life. I met Joshua's elder brother, Caleb Alice Abram...

Yes, you read it correctly: I met Joshua's twin brother, Caleb Alice Abram.

Oh my gosh... Are they identical twins? ... they appear exactly the same... yet Joshua is a cheerful person, and this man isn't even attempting to grin in such a large gathering... That was my initial impression of him...

'Hello, my name is Alan Isaack. My sister is Lia Isaack, your brother's fiancée, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Caleb Alice Abram'.... When I introduced myself, he gave me a grave look from head to toe.

'Oh, more family members... what a pain in the àss'... He spoke those snide comments to me and then vanished into the mob.

eh?... Did he just remark that my family and I are a pain in his àss, bàstard... It's no surprise that no one wants to marry you dumb... I selected these words carelessly and made that immature phrase in my head... And then I remembered his ailment, Amnesia....

Is he saying it because he needs to memorize more individuals right now... huh... I apologize for calling you a bàstard... Sorry about that. It must be difficult to remember everyone and everything daily... I feel bad for him.

The party was amazing... It was my first time attending such a lavish celebration. I liked grandma, she was sweet, very sweet.

'Don't tell my daughter I ate two pieces of cake; she won't let me since I have diabetes.' She quickly tasted a spoonful of cream cake.

'Yes, Grandma... but if you have diabetes, you should eat less since health is important, right?'....I answered awkwardly.

'Boy, what are you saying? ... Today is my big day... 'Can't I enjoy my own birthday cake?' grumbled Grandma as she bit into a piece of cake.

'No, Grandma, that's not what I meant.... This cake is high in sugar... so'.... I tried everything I could to warn her... It's true that when individuals become older, they act like toddlers. So, consider today to be her cheat day.

'Are you attempting to hospitalize my grandmother on her birthday?'.... That deep husky voice... Caleb? ...

'Wait, what?' ... no, I warned her... yet she's eager... And it's her birthday today, so two slices of the cake should be fine, right?'.... I gave him a kind grin, thinking he wouldn't tell anyone....

'Cal... Come here and eat this icing, it's very good.' Grandma pushed a spoonful of cake icing into Caleb's mouth, which was hilarious.

'Sick! 'This thing is delicious, Mumu... give me more.... we should try that green color icing,' he stated solemnly.

Why can't you say that while smiling... I despise his expressionless expression....

'No, you can't...' I'll tell your mother... Grandma already has two pieces... If I don't stop, she'll become ill…

Who do you think you are to command me?. .. huh? ... Don't attempt to meddle in my family's affairs? ... Who, by the way, invited you here?.... He inquired again, this time in a harsh tone.

'Huh!... As I mentioned before, my name is Alan Isaack, and I'm your brother's fiancée's brother.... technically his brother-in-law.' I had forgotten about his condition once more.

'Another family member?'  What a pain in the àss'...  He's saying the same thing over and over... and Grandma, please say anything other than chomping that cake with your mouth…

'Hmm... you do smell nice, don't you?' 'Did you use any perfumes?' He inquired, perplexed.

'Who?.. me? ... no, I don't wear perfume'.   I've never been a fan of perfume fragrances...

He looked puzzled at me then came close... When he approached me, I was scared and my heart was racing. I backed up and ended myself wedged between a wall and him. He sniffed my neck and head as if he were a wolf.

'What are you doing ?' I asked him, covering my flushed, hot face.

'You're lying... you did apply perfume... and it's seeping into my nose,' he said...

'Huh?... I'll tell you the truth... I didn't use any.' I swore to him.

'Hmm'... he just glanced at me with a puzzled expression.

Huh?... What was that?.. Do I smell?.. I sniffed myself.. but I didn't feel anything... I thought to myself

Then grandma who was enjoying this whole thing like a show, eating her cake came towards me.

'Alan... you are an Omega right?'... she asked me...

I felt something fishy with that question, but I can't lie here... 'Yes grandma'....

She smiled then touched my shoulder...

It's a trap... it's a trap... that smile and that touch felt like another big bang explosion... Something is coming... what is it?.. Doomsday.... The cells inside my head started spinning....

If you want more specific, that's when I found out, I f*cked up

That question she posed was, as I suspected, the question for my Doomsday. The next day, I discovered that I had really f*cked up.

After we closed our store, my mother and I returned home. Lia was preparing meals, which was odd because she never did it unless she needed something. That was the first hint of something fishy.

I went into my room to take a bath, and when I came out, the second odd event happened. All of the foods she prepared were among my favorites. She gave me a lovely smile and urged me to sit alongside her.

My mother was likewise strangely cheerful. I didn't say anything and just followed them.

The third weird thing was that Lia offered me food and even tried to feed me.

'That's it... what's going through your head?' I inquired...

'Al,... you know how badly I and Joshua want to be married, right?' she whispered softly...

Alan, there's another trap here, my brain cells informed me...

Hmm... I'm aware, sis; what happened now? ... I inquired casually.

'Did you meet Joshua's grandmother?' ... she kind of liked you'.... She began to speak....

I had a feeling. I knew it... this is the beginning of my Doomsday, and the one who set everything in motion is that "cake-ma"... It was confirmed by my brain cells.

'Did you also speak with his brother Caleb?' ... He's also casually conversed with you, something he never does with strangers. As a result, they want to ally with us. We're both marrying into the Abram family... Will you accept Caleb's offer for a date? Please...'....

'Nope'.... I smiled at her and returned to my door.

F*CK, I knew it was going to come to this.... I can't... I want to spend my life by myself... I don't require an Alpha. Why do Omegas have to get married? ... Why do people have to get married in the first place? ... I like to remain single and vibrant... and I can't marry someone who forgets people the next day... Never... That's what my immature brain cell concluded when I rejected his proposal.

Lia left early the next day, and I didn't glance at her face yesterday. Is she upset? ... Is Mom all right? ...

'About yesterday, Mom... I'm sorry for walking out like that...' I'm not interested in marrying anyone. 'Can't I just stay like this with you here?' I inquired of her.

She touched my hair softly and smiled the most beautiful grin I'd ever seen... 'Of course, you can; this is your life, and your sister is well aware of it.' She apologized for pressuring you in this manner. Whatever decision you make, we will respect it.'

'Thank you, Mom.' Huh! I'm relieved... my brain cells, you can rest now...

'But I feel awful for that kid, Joshua's elder brother, Lia said they set up like 5 dates for him but no one cared since becoming a member of the Abram family is the only thing that counts to them.' He allegedly scared them away, according to her. He's been suffering from this condition since he was 15 years old. His mother died when he was 19, and he lived alone after that; may God bless him with a caring family... My mother, like all the other mothers on the planet, began talking about this "emotional damage" stuff while cooking, which makes us feel extremely guilty.

I feel extremely bad for rejecting that proposal now... shit my brain cells are so naive... Should I just go on a date with him and let him reject me... obviously, he will reject me....

'Mom.... Tell Lia that I'm going on a date with Caleb... only one, but if he says he doesn't like me, no other discussions... okay'... I stated audaciously...

‘eh?   yes’...she responded with a shocked expression...

So, I selected Doomsday for myself... let's see... What happens next? ...
