Romance Not Romantic by Sangdu

Jinha, an overworked developer, gets the worst news of his life—he’s a recessive Omega! He’s now extra sensitive to alphas, and the only thing that calms him is his boss Hyeonjun’s pheromones. This is a nightmare, especially since Jinha’s been stashing money in a “murder for hire” account to cope with how annoying Hyeonjun is. As if that’s not enough, a creepy stalker starts showering him with pheromones. Now, Jinha’s stuck under the protection of his infuriatingly handsome boss!
My Rate: 8 (tapas.io/series/romance-not-romantic-mature/info)
Overall I liked this one, it was mostly a comedy, that is what I like the best, and the relationship between Jinha and Hyeonjun was nicely developed. There is just something that I didn't understand: all the flashbacks of when Jinha first joined the company, what was that upset Hyeonjun; and if Jinha really wanted to use his saved money to hire a killer :-) I don't think so, but then where all the money went? Anyway these are details that are not detrimental to the overall story. A quite classic omegaverse universe, but without all the drama and sort of social ghettoization that is usual linked to the role of Alpha and Omega. Here it's more like the difference between women and men in the work field, that I'm not saying it's right to exist, but alas, that is the reality.
