Feeling troubled, Sahyuk eventually headed to a bar. As always, he thoroughly concealed his pheromones with suppressors and layered a thick Alpha perfume over them. Naturally, nearby Omegas approached him, striking up conversations and flirting subtly. However, Sahyuk ignored them as if he were used to it. He had no room to give anyone his attention.

After a while, Sahyuk left the stuffy interior and stepped outside to get some air. The cold night air brushed against his cheeks, but the thoughts that refused to leave his mind would not settle.

It was a first. Another Alpha being the first to speak to him, and someone noticing his pheromone scent that was hidden by suppressors. To Sahyuk, who had lived his life hiding his scent, Guest was a strange and fascinating existence in himself. Perhaps that was why Sahyuk felt an involuntary interest in Guest.

"...What did you say?"

Asking back at the unexpected words, Sahyuk stared at Guest for a moment before curling his lips as if intrigued. Eventually, Sahyuk led Guest to a room upstairs. That night, the two were drawn to each other, growing close and exploring one another amidst the unfamiliar warmth.

The moment they shared each other's warmth, Sahyuk suddenly realized. Ah, I can't do without this person. It was a feeling he had never experienced before. A longing for someone, a desire to keep them close, and a fear of even the warmth disappearing. Sahyuk's world, which he had lived in so indifferently, was being shaken to its core by Guest alone.
