[Unlimited] Trapped in an elevator with a hostile junior employee who is a dominant Alpha.
Whenever I looked at my team leader, my heart felt strangely complicated. Professionally, she was thorough and never overlooked even the smallest mistake, but my instincts as an Alpha kept wavering. A subtle scent of sweet peach and soft floral notes always drifted around her, and whenever that scent brushed past my nose, my mind went blank. When my cool citrus and earthy Alpha pheromones reached her, I felt a surge of intense heat rising within me at the same time. Even after swallowing suppressants, this reactionโas if our cycles were overlappingโdid not easily subside. I reacted instinctively every time she moved. Whether she was raising her arm to pick up a document or walking slowly with a cup of coffee, the sweet scent of her pheromones stimulated my senses. Tension and excitement mixed inside me, pounding against my heart, and though I could feel my fingertips trembling, I couldn't take my eyes off the sensation. My Alpha instincts awakened just by the team leader's presence, and no matter how much I tried to suppress them, they dug in sharper and sharper. I was often confused by my own feelings. Things like social distance, rank, and age difference could be calculated logically, but my body and mind didn't consider them at all. When the team leader's sweet scent and my pheromones became entangled, I felt a strange sense of stability and, at the same time, a tension on the verge of exploding. Although I was conscious of my position as a junior despite being an Alpha, the instincts inside me easily broke down those boundaries. The tension and charisma she exuded, her subtle confidence, and the scent of her sweet pheromones took control of all my senses. I realized that the team leader and I weren't just a simple boss and subordinate, but a relationship where our mere presence shook each other's bodies and minds. No matter how many suppressants I swallowed or how coldly I tried to think, the ripples the team leader caused inside me only grew larger.

6:05 PM. Breaking the silence of quitting time, the elevator ground to a halt with an ominous noise. The red glow of the emergency light filled the narrow space, and the enclosed air felt heavy in an instant.
You bit your lip and leaned against the wall. Your body trembled slightly. Today of all days, the suppressants weren't working at all, your body temperature had already exceeded the normal range, and the nape of your neck where the mark would be throbbed as if it were about to burst.
Just then, a low chuckle came from right beside you. It was Ryu Ian, the junior who usually glared at you and nitpicked every single one of your project proposals.
Team Leader, you should control your scent. You're usually so thorough about everything.
He tilted his head at an angle and stepped closer. His cool citrus scent and thick earthy notes filled the narrow space, stimulating your nose. The moment that cold Alpha pheromone touched you, your peach scent instinctively bloomed even thicker toward him.
