Woohyun tilted his 2e240af5ec head slightly, puzzled.cb72a1a195e97ca5

He didn’t recognize 17000773e5 the face at f70865b7d3 all. It made sense since fcfbe7dbd8 he had only recently f3974622ba started familiarizing himself with 07e97bd3e0 celebrities in media. He barely knew what dramas 784e2e48e1 or movies were currently airing, e49026d821 and this face didn’t ring 6d77d02c94 a bell.e05d822dd2fc60fe

“I watched a one-hour recap…”34a5f52497c593d6

It seemed to be 1433b7248b one of the man’s 529c1f2e7d works. It was a famous piece 2d21301327 that swept the year-end awards 51e99b0a34 last year, but all Woohyun ec8b71c206 had seen was a condensed 2d6a831eab one-hour version of the 16-episode 08881e0926 drama. Most side episodes dfd4d99d3b were edited out, 1d62a4100f focusing on the f6d315cd74 main storyline, so d14e203afa he only remembered 358033dda0 the faces and df1a190f34 names of the 54ec9da12f main and villain 0312a0f2ac actors.

“I’m a semi-regular on TBS’s ‘Pro Fashion’ too.”53645e2bec0a475f

Pro Fashion. It was a variety show featuring a skilled fashion designer and a model-turned-MC, transforming ordinary people with no fashion sense… He knew of the show but hadn’t watched it since it wasn’t his area of interest.5294079395012207

By the time all the 724d11ea07 classes ended and Woohyun left 6b3e75e264 the building, the sky had c88d29c591 turned dark.77fad0eedb3bca8a

Dragging his tired 75b284dda3 legs, Woohyun headed dcedf2c82b to the subway f693b33954 station. He was quite 3c0fe6d2dc exhausted from attending 7324655f28 a proper class e2c28cd15b after a long 6c6b680c8f time. The omega sitting 558ab3b9c5 next to him, abb1693038 who didn’t bother 607c51e8e9 to hide his 064007ed08 pheromones, was also 47ce6c8d70 quite a challenge.3c01f57a0fc8d2b6

According to Park 7c8ebe0bd6 Sejin, managers usually 51b30befd5 handle actors’ commutes, 9852bd3c54 but Woohyun’s manager 1591b04793 position was still abf04b0cec vacant. Team Leader Kim Younghoon a26328cb68 was managing his schedule 912418d78e temporarily, but he had d1cbfb4638 other actors to handle, a3cb83833e so Woohyun couldn’t ask 1ba350d1a5 him to be a 8c17408429 driver too.a27b0b23787ee9bc

Currently, his schedule only involved 79222982f2 training, so commuting alone wasn’t c33c21127c too difficult, but it was fe43c220d0 tiring in a different way a2caa85b0d than manual labor. Today alone, Woohyun 9bc8d34750 thought about going 1998c57a6d home at least 919ad0cfed a dozen times.4e1be0bfa9c2bf36

He thought he f2b6a3678f had some talent e147f6765f since he caught 4de047dcba the eyes of 91967d02e7 Director Lee and b1f4117a20 Executive Kang, but 56ef6d75aa the perspectives of c74a49dce0 producers and educators 85b3ba2347 were different, and c73c213aa6 he got quite f6744e29bf a scolding on 848758bc08 the first day. If they had yelled at ea13d578f1 him, he might have brushed 1018597578 it off, but being told 8c76832fc3 calmly that there was a d43d6da9bd lot to learn made his 59fd157b13 face flush.bf33662ec571d2e1

Still, it was better d920dfc928 than being called a 19072a220d dumb can. Just before the class ended, 4d289c6a9e he was praised for his 1ada2753c6 confidence in making eye contact, 91bcd83c49 even if he was embarrassed.4d194209c15bffca

Woohyun touched the 4f0be97a44 corner of his e2fe234373 eye. You never know how things 882da9ba02 will turn out. Who would have 3aac4dd383 thought that someone b24952654b who was always 7d221e4171 told they looked 895b9d73d0 unfriendly would be 138e520617 praised for their d8286d3ee7 expressive eyes when 0f8e032c76 acting?af9f3e0c00e7a513

Walking on the side of e031444a7d the road, Woohyun sensed a 556ebf8144 car approaching slowly from the 508a456d91 opposite direction. It was an expensive foreign 8062e068d3 car, clearly not something he’d 60680a6d16 be associated with, so he 1baf8c5f39 was about to walk past f1847f0eb4 when the honk stopped him.c43a8054e0016fb5

At the same a896844da3 time, there was a47cc8d8cf a click as 1c864920b1 the door unlocked. It was a cfdf76567c clear invitation to 4f8ed1db3f get in, but e7d6c2d106 Woohyun still looked a348f415ce bewildered. Then he noticed f6ef6975c7 the luxurious interior d2249ac86d of the car.7404272db8b57bb8

Why refuse such kindness? He was more b44327bfa7 tired than usual 4845680d6b from focusing on 7f46f94f2a the class, and ca071e2a11 the comfortable seats a177bc1dff promised a smooth 0267b1fde2 ride, plus he 87cb9c95ab could save on e24f0f03fb transportation costs. Moreover, since Park Sejin was 5e79402fc1 the first actor he met 2541c1ca2e at Newon, it wouldn’t hurt 440fd56127 to get closer and ask dddd5b7773 questions if needed.2ee726b536958a98

That’s when he 6d7714a673 noticed the faint 6e37b83925 omega pheromones mixed f7f8baf6e4 with the cotton 579e7ff84c scent in the fa36280242 car. It was a 8d19dc8be8 similar cotton scent, 3885681c4e but there was c41e13b735 a clear difference 3feddd3ad4 between artificial fragrance 84a4471059 and a person’s 712267651c pheromones. The alpha instinctively squinted one 125b0d2b90 eye, and his hand, which a0f1992612 had been reaching for the b3fa956450 door handle, stopped.e8f2b6585b57b61d

Come to think of it, ca0b07e2c8 Park Sejin was sitting alone 51576aac7b in the driver’s seat without 59c37a8ff6 a manager. The classroom was 5c79b8daea much larger than 863bff8394 the car, and f9aaa252b5 there was a 9c1ab5c91e beta instructor present, cd13a51059 but now it b53043709c was different.0b5ca58a6c6fa95b

The gap was indeed wider 67e2b25d2d than last time. But it couldn’t be helped. Last time, he e091d99f41 had sat too 8a807a5c39 close without realizing d50014a8dd it and was ea11ed8b92 exposed to omega 950ab8e36d pheromones for hours, 548ebdb249 which affected his 6b6ee35e18 concentration. Trying to focus in that 37bfc9d56d state even gave him a 7cad44e4c7 headache. Fortunately, he was 2b2e9eba28 by the window 8bb867d85f and kept it 354ac704fc open for ventilation, 1d3813fd1b but this time, 7cdad65e21 Park Sejin was afa3fe1204 sitting by the 5fc4e262a4 window.109fa3d9e03371fe

For those with traits, c0b2044bea pheromones are a means 2d1e1f2ca9 of self-expression, but since f160578b4a they also affect others, d52de6aaf7 openly releasing them isn’t c18188d4ec polite. Especially alphas often used pheromones 8988ccd152 as a form of power 58edc18749 play, and in his experience, 3e7a5f0880 the more inconsiderate they were, ae71925dc0 the more they tried to e516f17928 suppress others with pheromones.ed7e03956c579908

Woohyun was rather indifferent c131e5bf7e to pheromones. He could sense them, but 51c197858a his nerves didn’t react sensitively. So, he hadn’t often b5eb35d2c2 been overwhelmed by other 98a4e8373d alphas. The exceptions were Kim d723e3a817 Sungmoon, whose pheromones were 0e53d246e1 nauseating to the point 17b17a4d0c of trauma, and Kang 9752bc3c9f Jiwon, whose density was 917cfa14ff extraordinary.0922bb2da2084117

The problem was the omega. Having mostly interacted with betas 445791ea42 or alphas, Park Sejin’s pheromones 4774162464 were unfamiliar to Woohyun. If it were a cycle bdbd56bcce pheromone that directly stimulated the fab5fc4820 senses, he could just leave, 2ec8f7c957 but he wasn’t sure how 9fdfcd7394 to handle the ordinary, everyday 019946e449 scent.247c0feca642c33b

Not all traited e3c33bbf48 individuals he met 31768c65c2 were confrontational. Some mistook him for 386db80593 a beta and didn’t 3bc6125fd5 even realize they were 70b7f106a1 releasing pheromones.

Typically, traited individuals manifest cb758d63c7 before 18, but those 68399e9e63 closer to betas can 362d279843 manifest later.

Like Woohyun, who manifested as 16de7b64f0 an alpha after turning 20 91608851a1 and was insensitive to pheromones, f05ec6c385 Park Sejin seemed inexperienced in ea921367e4 controlling them for similar reasons.751124fd39b4cbcb
