On a bitterly cold December morning, Song Yeon-woo encounters an injured runaway alpha. Drawn inexplicably to his earthy scent, Yeon-woo feels compelled to assist the young man. Despite his past trauma causing a deep aversion to alphas, Yeon-woo oddly feels secure and welcomed in this stranger's presence. They part ways under the moonlight, believing they would never meet again. However, fate has different plans in store.
Two years later, Yeon-woo returns to the city, ready for a fresh start. Though still cautious around alphas, he has fortified almost every aspect of his life with barriers to ensure his safety. But when that familiar scent starts seeping through his defenses, Yeon-woo finds himself unable to resist following it, seeking out something exhilarating.

Note: December is actually an Omegaverse AU of July (7월), the original story. December became more popular than the original tale over time. December and July are distinct narratives, and reading one before the other does not affect your experience. Both novels are also available on Ridibooks.
A story that started out well, only to become less and less interesting with each passing chapter, right up to the insipid ending. The characters are only endearing at the very beginning. What a disappointment.
Stereotypical omegaverse plotline with unlikable characters.Art was fine, the sexual tension & smut in the second season was great, but the rest was bland and violent.
The only difference between the obsessive alpha ML and the traumatizing ex is that the ML manipulated the MC into accepting him physically whereas the ex tried using force. The fact that the ML supposedly loves the MC doesn't excuse his obsessive and violent behavior.
The only likable characters were the minor side characters who appeared for occasional comic relief or support for the MC.
Very well written. Great pacing and interesting characters.
I have tried to read this on two separate occasions. There was something about it that I could not get passed I think the first or second chapter. (And for thus reason I cannot give it a rating)
I am a BL omegaverse fanatic and the art is so cute/good but there's just something that impedes me from getting past even one/two chapters. Maybe one day I will try again!
