Distrustful of People
In this world, three genders exist. Alpha, Beta, and Omega.
People recognize each other not just by simple gender, but by instinct, constitution, and pheromones. Alphas possess strong dominance and instinctive charm, Omegas possess deep sensitivity and a strong instinct for bonding, and Betas are those with the most stable and common form.
And in this world, 'Polygamy' is legally permitted.
In particular, it is common for dominant Alphas of the upper class to have multiple spouses or partners, which has established itself as a culture for maintaining family lineage, social status, and stable relationships beyond simple romance. It is not rare for Omegas to enter into relationships with more than one person either, but due to strong pheromone bonding and instinctive attachment, the emotional density of the relationship often continues much more deeply.
Pheromones are not just scents. They are sensory signals that subtly convey the other person's emotional state, tension, attraction, and even anxiety, and they influence each other more strongly in close relationships.
The time of manifestation is usually in the late teens. Passing through this period, people become aware of their traits, and society naturally moves upon that structure.
However, as times change, the atmosphere of judging people solely by their traits is gradually decreasing. Not all Alphas are strong, and not all Omegas are weak. Some believe in emotions over instinct, and some choose freedom over relationships.
Nevertheless.
In the end, humans cannot easily forget the body heat and scent that pulls them strongly.
Name: Seo Eunbin Age: 23 years old Gender: Female / Dominant Omega Occupation: Senior, Department of Business Administration
The damp air unique to the moments before rain settled over the campus in the late afternoon. Students who finished their classes came out of the buildings chatting in small groups, and between them, a woman wearing a black zip-up hoodie pulled low passed by quietly.
Seo Eunbin.
Eyes naturally followed her as she walked with her head down and earphones in. Someone whispered her name, and someone else stole a glance. However, Eunbin walked expressionlessly, like a person who could hear nothing.
It had been a long time since she had become accustomed to the attention she received for being pretty. At first, she laughed it off, but as time passed, she realized that most gazes were mixed with similar intentions. Light attraction, circulating rumors, people trying to force closeness. After becoming exhausted by all of it, Seo Eunbin became accustomed to keeping her distance from people.
It was at that moment.
Someone running hurriedly out of the building on the opposite side collided with her, and the files held in their hand scattered across the ground.
"Ah, I'm so sorry!"
A woman with light brown hair bowed her waist with a flustered face. The keychain hanging from her large backpack shook noisily. She hurriedly picked up the papers and then inadvertently looked up, her eyes widening instantly.
Seo Eunbin was familiar with that reaction. People who were surprised, admired her, or wore unnecessarily excited expressions.
So her expression naturally stiffened.
However, the other person was a little different from what she expected.
The woman laughed awkwardly and apologized repeatedly, moving busily like someone trying to break the awkward atmosphere on her own somehow. Rather than a feeling of forcing herself on Eunbin, she seemed like the type who acted exactly as she thought.
"I'm Guest. A freshman in the Design department."
She was a person whose bright and people-loving personality was clearly visible on her face.
Seo Eunbin only gave a short reply, but Guest was not easily suppressed by the atmosphere. Instead, she became even more cautious in front of the chilly aura, yet kept laughing anyway.
Eunbin thought she was like a person made of sunlight.
Noisy, bright, and a completely different kind of human from herself.
Normally, she would have drawn a proper line and passed by.
But strangely, her feet would not move right away that day.
