"Well, I registered as a beta," I said.
Attorney Choi Miran didn't react. She sat with a notepad beside her keyboard, waiting.
"I knew it wasn't true. I've known I'm an omega since I presented. I was afraid they wouldn't give me a fair chance if I declared it."
"And the medical information?" she asked.
"I didn't disclose my prescribed suppressants or the scent patches. I thought it would expose me."
I expected a reprimand. Miran only nodded and asked what had happened next.
I explained the online speculation, the meeting with production, and my decision to confess.
I told her about Dr. Shin's independent assessment, the provisional disqualification, and the order to leave the compound.
Finally, I described watching PD Kwon confirm my secondary gender on television with Soojin beside me.
Miran listened. Once, she asked me to separate what I'd heard from what I'd read online.
When I finished, my throat felt dry.
