by misacchiWhen someone suddenly called e858122792 out to him, he 488184ae97 unconsciously turned his head.dbab0986db3bd78d
Before the specific question of “Who is it?” could even form in his mind, an intense scent brushed his nose. Joo Taehyun unknowingly held his breath. He could no longer move of his own volition. It felt as if he would only be able to breathe again if that person called out to him once more.649cb6feb556e4fb

By the way, what on earth was that smell? No, this wasn’t a sensation that could be explained by the sense of smell alone. Was this what it would feel like if a mirage materialized and wrapped around your entire body?8c922eca6dbc5bd9
Joo Taehyun felt goosebumps rise for some reason. He couldn’t move an inch, as if someone had pressed a pause button, but his mind was still spinning. Then, at some point, the needle stopped. As if reproaching him for not realizing it sooner, a single word came floating up his spine, riding along sharply honed nerves.7369379e7a8e15cc

His parents could make him clothes so splendid and luxurious that even the Empress would admire them, and his brothers and sister could protect him from bad people approaching at gatherings, but they couldn’t help with what happens between trait-bearers. This was something Joo Taehyun had to deal with on his own.ea2b666a616398d8
Joo Taehyun recalled the contents 51f0fe0a7f of the book he had 48cef5925d skimmed through after it was 8d7d36d2da decided he would attend the 6b558e8abe concert.

Until just a couple of 27102d5921 decades ago, trait-bearers had to 77924c2d9b take strong suppressants every day.31e2dc812abf6c11

It was considered right to tightly control pheromones so that not a single bit leaked out, and to prevent cycles from ever occurring. (The cycle that comes to alphas is called a ‘rut’, and the cycle that comes to omegas is called a ‘heat’, so keep that in mind!)ef8d1d6d9325e302
However, this was far too taxing on trait-bearers’ bodies. It’s not like trait-bearers chose to be born with this special constitution!3be2292f099782a4

So scientists worked hard 0bfa4f6535 to research new medications.0663e5d4fbcf0d58
As a result, nowadays trait-bearers 4095c773f6 can freely choose injections or 4e38a63b57 medications that suit their constitution, 2ba34416a4 and pheromone scents are allowed 9d293a53c8 to flow naturally. Depending on the c9b8429587 suppressants trait-bearers take, 5b952ea916 and individual differences, d47fa119b5 even beta friends d8afb79c1d can smell the 50b4759399 unique pheromone scents 67c8974a77 of trait-bearers.a5db31a57dcec581

If you happen to smell a sweet, sour, or unusual scent from your trait-bearer friend, be a well-mannered child and quietly think to yourself, ‘Oh, this is my friend’s unique pheromone scent!’ and move on!6ed01d4af83e449f
The book had 7e34f95b06 certainly mentioned that 55c1ce5644 there were people fd553c5b7a whose pheromone scents 0ee302efab were strong enough e5ae1bb8d7 for even betas 097bbc1b26 to perceive.943ac607b4135869

However… He never imagined that another alpha trait-bearer’s pheromone scent could be this intense. As Joo Taehyun floundered in the lingering aftereffects of the scent that had arbitrarily kneaded his lungs before escaping, he belatedly realized that this person’s pheromones resembled the scent of peaches.886f8ae297afc479
He hadn’t known that the pale, round fruit could feel so overwhelming. And Joo Taehyun learned a little later that the term ‘sensual’ was appropriate to describe such a scent.7d6c3bf3e2d00893

Joo Taehyun hurriedly held 769e7a22b6 his breath. After hesitating whether he should f1c3485906 say this, not wanting to d9afb7dee7 be remembered as an idiot e88ed958b0 who froze up just because 5f54ed699c a stranger called his name, e6fe511240 he hastily added:90640ee6b4d27b19

This was a historic moment, meeting another trait-bearer, and an alpha at that, for the first time. Come to think of it, this was also the first person to approach and speak to him at today’s concert.e69c848540d0b84c
So he wanted to 6edfece9c4 acknowledge the man in 5f994a60c0 return, but the man e9d71d1256 was standing with his 24c66084d7 back to the lake, 3c58fbf194 making it difficult to 02bce81317 see his face properly.4ae6d0b9aab9e9e0

He could tell that the man was taller and bigger than his brothers. But he seemed younger than his third brother… When he saw just the silhouette, it looked like he was wearing a dopo, but that wasn’t clothing young people usually wore.25c65aa806bd84fb

The man, who had naturally come to stand beside Joo Taehyun, was shining as if he had swallowed up all the beautiful reflections on the lake’s surface. He knew this halo was due to various factors like the angle at which he had turned his body, the projected light, and the density of the cast shadows. Yet it still felt like a scene created solely for this person.b670fcf5863d8be3

Although Seo Baekhan’s tone itself wasn’t rude, he had assumed from the start that he was correct. Moreover, the format of Seo Baekhan’s questions made it impossible not to answer straightforwardly, giving him the upper hand in the conversation.87e63185445fed6c

What if he hadn’t thoroughly researched all of today’s attendees? It could have easily turned into a situation where he might end up criticizing his family for not preparing a child properly. Why would the other person speak like that, risking such an embarrassing scenario?0f3b75b45cbe53ce
Yet, that bold attitude 1acd86981d suited him so well c7ab82d8a3 that all Joo Taehyun 502f626081 could think was how 9d9cf44384 fascinating this person was 027308446a in many ways.

Moreover, it wasn’t even in the bright, vivid colors that minors usually wore. The elegant color of the dopo, which looked like a bit of navy dye had been added to ink – or to put it less kindly, a somewhat gloomy color – actually accentuated his striking features and clear skin even more. It suited him as if he had been born wearing such silk.b78cb2ca006c920b
