All that Axel has left after his first love are hot, blurry summer memories… And a son, left on his doorsteps, while the young male omega who birthed the kid vanished into thin air. 
Barely an ‘adult’ himself, Axel would have struggled as a young single father, if it wasn’t for the help of his own parents, who supported him through the whole ordeal, making sure that neither he nor his son were ever lacking anything, be it love or money.
Five years later, he’s a fresh college graduate, starting a job at his parents’ company, while his son - growing healthily and happily - is attending kindergarten. Despite his parents’ insistence, Axel is reluctant to date again, afraid of another heartbreak, but mostly out of worry about how his potential partner would treat his son, if they were to have any more children together. Secretly, he’s hoping to find his lost omega - for his son who’d want to meet his ‘daddy’, if not for himself.
As he is going about his daily life, a cute barista, a male beta and the owner of a freshly opened coffee shop near his office, catches his attention. Will he move on from his lost love…
Or is there more to the mysterious beta than he thought?

After sleeping with a cute alpha one hot summer night during his first heat, Elias’ whole life quickly fell into pieces. First the alpha disappeared in the morning, leaving not even a note as he returned to the city, but only the servants to chase Elias away, and then soon after, Elias discovered he got pregnant?! 
With his father in jail and his family dirt poor, how was Elias, still a high schooler, supposed to raise the kid himself? Out of options, he turned to the alpha’s family for help… Only to be threatened with his mother and elder sister’s jobs, if he doesn’t quietly hand the child away and disappear.
What could have a young, powerless, poor omega such as himself do? Out of worry for his loved ones, Elias had no choice but to surrender to the demands.
Five years later, he returns. With his appearance changed beyond recognition, his family safe abroad, faked gender, and a changed name, he opens a coffee shop near the company owned by the alpha’s family. His goal? Get revenge and get his child back…
At least that was the plan. However, soon he discovers things won’t be so easy. How is he supposed to get his revenge without hurting his son in the process?
…Should he just give up, and be happy with watching his child grow up happily, even if just from a distance?
But what is he supposed to do when that wretched alpha, who had hurt him so much, makes his heart beat faster once again?

Elias: I’m no longer that cute omega you remember.
Axel, kissing Elias softly on top of his head: You seem pretty cute to me.

"Great," Axel exhaled with relief. He had been a bit worried about their date. Not necessarily because he thought that River might be unwilling to go - their relationship seemed to be going very well, and so far they didn't have any arguments or anything, the only hiccup being the 'cheating' incident at the grill house, but they had already talked it over - but simply because he didn't know whether the Beta would have time. He didn't know River's schedule, but both of their dates so far took place on Saturdays, so…
