ABO Setting:
● A peaceful world, with no interstellar wars, insectoid races, or anything like that.
● Betas, ordinary people like us, can't smell pheromones and won't suddenly turn into an alpha or omega.
● Alphas and omegas are generally very attractive. Omegas tend to have exceptional artistic talent, while alphas tend to be well-rounded.
● People present as alpha or omega at age 12. They receive safety education about pheromone suppressants at that time.
● Students have a second physical examination in their second year of high school to determine their traits and record them in their files.
AB romance, happy ending. A: Jiang Shi; B: Ji Jingping
Ji Jingping is a good student who pays no attention to anything outside his studies and devotes himself to his books. He's a beta.
Jiang Shi is a rich, handsome, fit playboy, as Ji Jingping sees him. He's a top-tier alpha.
They become deskmates in their second year of high school. Most of the students in their class, the gifted program, are alphas.
Ji Jingping has never understood why Jiang Shi is always releasing pheromones in front of him. He should know that betas can't smell them, right? (If the people around him hadn't reacted so strongly, he wouldn't even have known.)
Jiang Shi is always trying to get his attention. It seems that only when he does something stupid does Ji Jingping look at him with that puzzled expression...
"Classmate, could you please keep your pheromones in check?"
"Hm? Why? You can't smell them anyway, so they don't affect you."
"...The alphas in class seem a little bothered by your pheromones, and it wouldn't be good if they affected the omegas in the other classes."
"All right, then I'll only do it when I'm around you from now on."
"?"
One part:
"Jiang Shi, I'm not an omega. I don't have pheromones that can soothe you, and you can't mark me. I don't know if I'll be able to keep you by my side forever. If you ever get tired of me, just tell me... I won't cling to you."
"Do you know that once you make a promise about something, it can last a lifetime?"
"What kind of thing?"
"For example, when I say I love you."
