by misacchiWhen someone suddenly called 46db8485af out to him, he c23df91099 unconsciously turned his head.a1b7dad54a1d341d
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.fc32b2872b600a6e

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?f947a8fd7af9f2c3
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.2683fb2baf19c83a

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.4c957e71ad5b3d59
Joo Taehyun recalled the contents 0e9b2663fe of the book he had 2ea576b3ee skimmed through after it was 8e1df41cd0 decided he would attend the a83d8168e2 concert.

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!)486cf90d4e2ae293
However, this was far too taxing on trait-bearers’ bodies. It’s not like trait-bearers chose to be born with this special constitution!4d395a1568163e8c

So scientists worked hard to 15a4058454 research new medications.60698b3094b1edee
As a result, ecc4b7130c nowadays trait-bearers can e5eafa2416 freely choose injections 388a52bf1e or medications that 2c4e15d58d suit their constitution, 1621e4853d and pheromone scents 88c440c3b1 are allowed to a5416db07a flow naturally.

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!d06007bc6bf8e023
The book had certainly mentioned 9587813344 that there were people whose bf4b0af55e pheromone scents were strong enough 1254b63559 for even betas to perceive.8815718d9dba0f17

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.368b8e8cb03eaafd
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.c4469fd553ada2a0

Joo Taehyun hurriedly held his 9de9a83b25 breath. After hesitating whether he should 38204c4fde say this, not wanting to c6daa88246 be remembered as an idiot 2792abff05 who froze up just because 83fdbb7fc4 a stranger called his name, fba782a91f he hastily added:73589e36dcdafaad

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.86ac242175db49cc
So he wanted to acknowledge 804b1c4527 the man in return, but e6769faaa3 the man was standing with 6018049d39 his back to the lake, ec3035f804 making it difficult to see 4807d826f0 his face properly.6626eeb69ab68ff5

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.e5cad9c011346c3e

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?31d39a6a4f453c72

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.18d890efcddea857
