Description
A single night changed his life. On that fateful day, there were three people he spent time together with, but they were so drunk that none of them remembered what happened. Only Siyoung knew who the child’s father was. If that person found out, he would surely take responsibility. But Siyoung didn’t want that. ‘This child is mine alone.’ However, the plan to keep it a secret until the birth didn’t go as expected, and eventually, not only the pregnancy but also the fact that Siyoung had been with the three of them on the day the child was conceived was revealed. ‘It’s not your child.’ Could his desire to avoid being tied to the child’s father under the weight of obligation ever come true? * * * “Then say it properly with your own mouth. Think back what happened that day—among me, Kim Jaeyoon, and Joo Yeonseok, you must have done it with one of us. So, who did you do ‘it’ among us?” His tone was confident, as if he already knew. Siyoung bit his lip and lowered his head, realizing there was no way out if he lied further. “Was it really that day? Then, out of the three of us…” “Ah, no wonder. It kept bothering me why I couldn’t remember.” “Tell us. You didn’t black out, and you went home before we woke up, so you must remember. Who’s the father?” Hyun pressed him. Siyoung quietly stared at his hand resting on the blanket. Oddly enough, now that everything seemed exposed, the anxiety started to fade. Maybe this outcome was inevitable ever since they found out about the pregnancy. “…It’s not your child.” “…Then Joo Yeonseok? Kim Jaeyoon? One of the two…?” “No, it’s not. The father is not among you. This baby… it’s just mine. You don’t need to worry about it.” His words, clearly implying that he wasn’t denying but simply refusing to speak, left the three of them silently staring at Siyoung.

My Thoughts on Not Your Child
"Not Your Child" definitely took me on a ride! With its blend of adult themes, romance, and slice-of-life moments in a modern omegaverse setting, I was intrigued from the get-go. The promise of love triangles and a mature storyline definitely piqued my interest.
First Impressions
I jumped into this novel expecting a thrilling mystery surrounding the main character's child, but it quickly became clear that the focus was more on emotional exploration and character development. The initial chapters drew me in with the promise of uncovering secrets, but I soon realized the core of the story was about navigating complex relationships and past traumas.
What Works Well
What I appreciated most was the depth of the characters. The author really delves into their emotions, particularly the main character's, and explores how past experiences shape their present actions. While the central mystery wasn't as prominent as I initially anticipated, I found myself invested in the intricacies of the relationships and the characters' personal journeys. The author's attention to detail in portraying these emotional nuances really shone through.
Areas of Concern
I must admit, the pacing felt a bit drawn out at times. The story spends a significant amount of time exploring the past, which, while adding depth, occasionally felt repetitive. There were moments where I felt like the plot could have been condensed without losing its emotional impact. I found myself wanting the story to move forward more quickly, especially during the detailed flashbacks.
Final Verdict
Overall, "Not Your Child" is a worthwhile read if you're looking for a character-driven story with a strong emphasis on emotional exploration. While the pacing could be improved, the depth of the characters and the intricacies of their relationships kept me engaged. If you're prepared for a slower burn and a focus on emotional development rather than a fast-paced plot, you'll likely find this novel a satisfying read.
