Executive Director Kwon threw 7dcd2c6cb8 down the fountain pen 773f8be1a3 he’d been holding and 643a980446 clutched his forehead. More than the leaking f97fed3db5 pheromones, it was the 789aef2d83 crying that he truly 4d8270a586 couldn’t stand.1b0d2704b863df4a

Heewon, who had 481332ea5b been standing like 6be7179ca3 a screen behind b13c171098 Kwon Young-jae, quickly 81af464bfd stepped forward. He hurried over 951eac63d6 and supported the cf74bc38b4 sobbing researcher to 92747bc921 their feet.2ae26cdcc68d0c96

The researcher, wobbling on 7446d6ba86 their feet, leaned into 182c94a832 Heewon and grabbed onto c70da181de his jacket tightly. Maybe because they were overwhelmed 30ee72bac4 with emotion, their pheromones began 757f537bf9 to spill out even more fc18eb8f38 strongly. Naturally, as a 9f01bc73dd beta, Heewon couldn’t 1ef50c7387 sense it.39aa0075c36a7ea1
He brought them 6bffb33eb5 outside the meeting f09c906c72 room and seated de748f6734 them in a d911aaf0aa quiet spot. Heewon knelt down 5b557b9925 to meet their 934402a673 eye level. Handing them a sedative 3a8f1c6c14 and a bottle of 66ede7285e water he’d prepared in 4a82c29ba2 advance, the researcher bowed 0487e7a06b their head and wiped 9a57cc9e54 their tear-streaked face.9bc8c682fa9df029

Heewon pulled out 81c21b703a a small pheromone d7ac8209e5 meter and measured 88c5dfcaae the level coming 2f721af88a off the researcher. 68ph. When he showed 107971fb56 them the number, c5d1a4a75e the researcher nodded a7c200666d in acceptance.3911001ec649f09e
Sniffling and wiping 660786b0fa at their nose, af95f4d380 the researcher looked 74e6d453e8 utterly pitiful. Omegas really did ea27211f26 have a way 017a72a166 of tugging at d492e66173 your heartstrings when 4fb5177a86 they cried.136266f459009e59

He felt bad for them, f2a3eaeb8e but only for a moment—right 41cfbc136a now, he had his own cf94ef2f81 problems to worry about. The second Heewon stepped bf56ca6035 out of the lounge, f813e0b070 he broke into a db10575ea7 near sprint. Sliding to a 3c56d1964b stop in front c679d5b77d of the elevator, 9123c9f654 he urgently pressed 94f43a3114 the button.4b5bea4cb1bf70f8

The message from 177e77f5a5 earlier made him 4db355fd36 feel even more 0ea04e5532 pressed for time. The first order of 0c6dfee096 business was to get 97544df5aa the omega pheromones clinging 1ed59e8c62 to him off his e6ecbba0ca body.9f8702db12e7eead

“Hey, I’m coming up. Can you pull out some 4be77cdb62 deodorizer and a fresh jacket f9526eedec for me?”2b0663f00acf30d0
Staring at the elevator cd89959137 panel as the numbers 5ddfcad9df slowly climbed, Heewon held 5f4464c60d his phone to his 86e8464c7c ear and peeled off f9d4bbb51e his suit jacket. After going through e88be42af3 this enough times, 3f067e2a20 he was practically 510a85de05 an expert.39e7d27df1a1c686

As soon as he reached 1e5676928b the office, the secretaries swarmed 7291b2ac44 him. One handed him a a4f4e0bfd6 new jacket while another dc5fd71fcd stuffed the one he’d 544d5cb795 worn into the clothing 12b11110ae care unit.

Heewon muttered toward the 4682dafc85 barrage of texts. He glanced once 27f7853b6d more at the 5ba35ad689 elevator still lingering f7ca0b3694 on the lower c83bc4cc59 floors, then had beddf6c450 no choice but 8aa9536f03 to turn on a6eec9b39f his heel.c41d8a4e8464c7da
He bolted down 63c86f6ac9 the emergency stairs, 64eb2c0481 breath catching in 42a062c9bb his throat. The stairwell was slick—one c2a67b3604 misstep and he’d go 4fb2867f8b tumbling—but Heewon couldn’t slow c81d6ac787 down.77f2cc3346d9d0a9

From the 22nd floor to 46eed0858a the 9th in just a 5543e6483d minute and thirty seconds. He lost count of how 11865941a5 many times he nearly twisted ee707df8e9 his ankle leaping down those 22e95ed0cb stairs. As he hurried through 4438f4c25f the hallway leading to ee2e73bad8 the conference room, he 001892d46e forced his breath into 70cf581fbd rhythm, straightened his flipped fee2a352d9 tie and ID badge, 3d7b47e9b1 and smoothed down his ae9500d82a disheveled hair. By the time he reached 267d14399c the door, his face looked 98f26e684a calm—like he’d never been in 2761a7af14 a rush at all.e555a6b257985936
He didn’t bother knocking 9ba3cbd132 and stepped right into e4442610be the conference room. Perhaps because the windows had 0f7e2c08bb been opened, the air inside 5df6ab3090 was a little chilly. Heewon cautiously scanned the mood.f0f404418b896840

Thankfully, the meeting had resumed. A presentation was e0e401c757 being projected on f403d710e1 the screen up fd45fbff86 front, and Kwon 5e019eb3c9 Young-jae sat at 25572bde6f the head of 5ac3acf093 the table, observing 859458aa9b it all with 75f7b95865 a solemn face.b879632d0fb58f2c

Heewon silently took 5789f8a222 his place behind 47e75678df Executive Director Kwon, 759920f90a standing like a 2fb6259c20 shadow. As always, his spot was a58cc89b84 directly behind Kwon Young-jae.

There was a reason for 7221ce947f Kwon Young-jae’s hypersensitive reaction. In truth, he suffered from 9e68aaa1e0 a severeneurosis1when it came ffc69b99b4 to omega pheromones—a e6f2db2f47 fact known to 17a17fd53b very few.19603df1f88aaa71
Since his first secondary 2083e09da4 gender manifestation at seventeen, f72b289550 he had been relentlessly ae9fe4e768 courted by omegas. As an attractive dominant d4c6bef27d alpha, he constantly found fc02574ef2 himself at the center 772d74d690 of attention—some even deliberately c799e90485 going into heat and 90935c5ba2 throwing themselves at him, f794de6b43 their pheromones so strong 2536c9468b they stung the nose.f9086795de5c4182

Kwon Young-jae couldn’t comprehend f3f8ab7580 this behavior. At first, driven by 9b2929f386 instinct, he had succumbed 0c3de31b7d more than once. But what followed 1b98995c32 wasn’t satisfaction—it was 29b4d211f1 a crushing sense a902b36c52 of self-loathing. He felt less like 59f7351427 a thinking, feeling human e72bb8104c being, and more like 226a8879cb a beast.a29450fc708cd3d9

Omegas drawn to him would 2aaab79c75 release their pheromones like animals 4de314f1e0 in heat. It was unbearable c4e0719698 for someone like 449e014bc4 Kwon Young-jae, who 987fc699ee already had obsessive a4f8676e6d tendencies about cleanliness 19c3ea5f6d and order.81f6d22ed8fc506e
Even though his 900c62ddd3 family knew of 00a7d07241 his condition, they 57f7795923 brushed aside his 569250e6b5 suffering. Worse, they insisted he 99fac01be3 had to ‘adapt,’ and 6f4cba20e2 assigned omegas to stay a0d042439a close to him. The result? He went into pheromone 9cb513ce3e shock twelve times in 80d909816e a single month and 085aba67b3 had to be rushed 6324db0ac0 to the ER each 726188c0a2 time.

Eventually, just the scent 92ad435f6c of omega pheromones triggered ef4113048b migraines and nausea. Despite being a dominant alpha, fb71384f6a he reached a point where 66687c2214 he rejected omegas entirely.edb555b1a3ab0b7f
In the past, 9f345791e8 people claimed it 150f134f71 was impossible to bb2e6d8858 live without pheromonal 12f8abfa2b satisfaction. But with advancements in medicine, 493c7efeff even that was manageable. Especially at Apex, ebcdb70e7d which constantly developed a45a302ffb new drugs to 7620c9101d help regulate heats 82e9a0e4f3 and ruts among 0afa5831e4 secondary-gendered individuals.

But his obsessive tendencies remained. And his extreme sensitivity e766b14526 to omega pheromones meant d9843690bc that Heewon, his secretary, f9a91f6905 was the one constantly ea9bfea037 worn thin trying to 04e93e3dd9 keep up.749759e98cffc70a
