Everyone: I'm sold. (drooling.jpg) * The boy group Scepter is famous for having all-S-rank, top-tier alphas. Its members are handsome and talented, but the group has never had its big breakout moment. A livestream mishap sends the camera to the room of the group's new youngest member. Right in front of the camera, several top-tier alphas are in disarray. One is lowering his head to undo his belt, another has a towel hanging around his neck, and yet another is in the middle of taking off his shirt... The youngest member opens the door wearing nothing but an oversized white shirt. His face is flushed, his long legs are perfectly proportioned, and beneath his slightly tousled hair is a striking, aggressively beautiful face. Then comes the most dramatic part. One of his bandmates lazily wraps his arms around him from behind and rests his chin on his shoulder. “It's my turn now, right?” The internet goes wild shipping them. The story blows up on the trending list. Good news: After the livestream mishap, he becomes a sensation. There's an endless stream of fan art and fanfiction, and the ship's fan forum is incredibly active. The only catch is that he's the one being shared around by everyone. Bad news: He undergoes a second differentiation, changing from a top-tier alpha into an omega. The company orders him to keep it secret, and Yuan Shiyuan begins his diligent life of pretending to be an alpha. The perceptive 1234 notice... there's always a faint, sweet scent in the dance studio. At first it's only in the dance studio, then his room, then even the cups he's drunk from... One day, Yuan Shiyuan accidentally catches the icy team captain during his rut and, while the captain is out of it, somehow ends up giving him a temporary mark. After that day, he pretends nothing happened and ignores every hint and question from the icy team captain. He plays dumb: “What are you talking about? I don't understand.” With an innocent expression, he says, “I'm an alpha. How could you have marked me?” The icy team captain thinks it was nothing more than a steamy dream. One day, Yuan Shiyuan is discussing the details of a performance in the icy team captain's room. As he's leaving, he gets dizzy and almost falls, but a hand catches his arm. A familiar pheromone sweeps over him. The self-control of a top-tier alpha is put to the test. The icy team captain tries desperately to stay calm and asks hoarsely, “...Are you an omega?” * Yuan Shiyuan thinks he's hidden his secret well, but the world is full of surprises. At an event, a fanatical alpha fan releases his pheromones, triggering the heat of several omegas. Including Yuan Shiyuan, who is about to enter heat. His heat is forcibly brought on early. The familiar sweet scent envelops several top-tier alphas in the group. Almost instantly, their sharp senses lead them to lock their gazes on Yuan Shiyuan.
