Comment on ChapterDo You Still Like Me? - Chapter 1

This manhwa will be a little bit confusing, especially for first-time readers, because it is full of flashbacks, but it's truly worth reading once you understand the context of the story. Please keep in mind that "Do You Still Like Me?" is the sequel/spin-off to "Still, I Like It", so if you want a better context or understanding, I think it will be better to read that one first. Anyway, here are some contexts for those who need them:

This is an Alpha x Alpha story.

Characters:
Seo Jinwoo (Damon) - Main Character (MC), Recessive Alpha, Potter (Note: Damon is his pen name as an artist.)
Jinwoo is a potter and the supposed "antagonist" or "villain" of the prequel. He was a former FWB with Kwon Minjae (MC of "Still, I Like It"), an omega he had known since high school. However, Minjae broke off their relationship (and is now dating Jinwoo's younger brother, Hyeonwoo), and it hit him more than he thought it would because he did love Minjae. He fell into a creative slump and wasn't able to create any new pieces at all.

Colton Law - Main Lead (ML), Dominant Alpha, Director of a Gallery
Colton is a gallery director and the employer and boss of Minjae. He has an unrequited love for an omega named Dylan, who is in love with his father, with whom he has a bad relationship with. (Note: You will learn more about the situation between Colton, Dylan, and Kalmen (Colton's father) in the later chapters.)

Background and Context of Chapter 1:
Jinwoo flew to England because he got an offer to attend an exhibition there. He also used this as a means to escape from Minjae and the horrible situation he was left in after they broke up. Colton persistently calls and texts Jinwoo to apologize for being part of the reason why he wasn't able to show up at an exhibition back in Korea, but Jinwoo didn't answer or reply to any of them. Colton and Jinwoo met sometime back in Korea, but not in good circumstances because Jinwoo got drunk and accidentally marked Minjae, but he took a neutralizer to remove the marking effect, so it's all good. This incident forced Minjae to be absent from work, and Colton suspected that Jinwoo had something to do with this, so when they met in person, he asked him, "What exactly did you do to my employee?" That's when he tied him up, choked him, and smothered him with his pheromones as a punishment, resulting in Jinwoo not being able to attend the exhibition he's supposed to attend. On his way to England, Jinwoo thought of two possible reasons why Colton acted that way: either he had feelings for Minjae or he's in love with an omega. Fast forward, Colton and Jinwoo are in some kind of contract about them being play partners in exchange for Colton wanting to escape from his unrequited love and Jinwoo wanting to escape from his creative slump. (Note: Everything in Chapter 1 will be explained more in detail in the later chapters, bit by bit.)

@Mics thank you dear.
The prequel stopped at chapter 26. I'm not sure if that's the end. I'll go start from there then come here. But I wanted to ask, when you said " smothered him with his pheromones as a punishment, Jinwoo thought of two possible reasons why Colton acted that way: either he had feelings for Minjae or he's in love with an omega."
Why would Colton being in love with an Omega make him release his pheromones as a punishment?

@Todoroki You're welcome. The prequel, I believed, was 30 chapters. To answer your question, Colton hated alphas that treated omegas like some kind of object to control because it reminded him of how his father treated Dylan. Kalmen (Colton's father) is very abusive and treats Dylan like sh*t, yet for some reason, Dylan can't let go of him. You will know more of their story once you read further into this manhwa.
