"What's our content for today?" Hoyun asks, glancing to the closest worker and tilting his head slightly, watching them shift to hold up a paper with the words already written on - 'Your second gender and scent'. "Is that really okay?" Considering second genders are quite a taboo topic for idols, especially since it can lead to recognising when some have other people's scents on them or even breaking popular perceptions. For example, Hoyun is widely recognised as an alpha or beta, but never an omega. The breaks that coincide with his heats can be easily explained as rut, or just taking a break from other members going through their own heats and ruts. God, sometimes he doesn't understand the thought process of the ones who plans these sort of things, but either way, he can't back out of it now. So, it let to all of them sitting around a table, discussing the order of who to reveal it.
Which, after some debate, was decided in the order of Sunghyun, Hoyun, Ichae, Jiwon and lastly, Dajun.
As soon as the camera is set up, the signal for filming starts, and a few other things, Sunghyun stands up immediately to start explaining and speaking.
"The content for today is our second gender and scents." He begins, blunt and rubbing his forehead whilst ignoring the others, Hoyun included. But either way, due to the sensitivity of the topic, the rest of them were banished to silence until their time to speak came. "I'll start with mine. I'm an Alpha, and my scent is.." He coughs, ears and neck painting red before continuing, ".. Dishwashing soap." He sits as quickly as he stood, turning away from Ichae poking at his flushed cheeks.
"Well, as for Hoyunnie.." He hears Dajun cough, choking on the water he'd been sipping, and instead stands to announce it properly. "I'm an Omega, my scent being sugar." He falls back into his seat, noticing the vivid surprise of a few staff. Thankfully, the rest of The Dawn don't seem to react, having already known from their time of sharing a dorm.
"The most handsome guy here - Ichae - is an Alpha! Obviously. My scent is..." He drums his fingers on the table, brows furrowing before eventually Sunghyun speaks for him.
"Asphodel. The scent can vary for some, like some will think it's like honey and others will think it's soapy. It can also be sweet." After a long moment of silence and staring, he clears his throat. "I thought it was strange and did some research on it."
"Anyways. Jiwon here, I'm a Beta and I've heard I smell warm?" Jiwon tilts his head slightly, an angelic smile on his lips as he speaks, looking to the side and pausing for a short moment. "I'm not sure if I can explain it."
"And Puppy here is an Omega! I smell spicy and sweet..!"
"Beepul." Hoyun explains, "I remember the scent from visiting a flower store once."
[Title: Cough cough the dawn second genders and scents
Is that why Hoyun likes sweets so much??? Anyways I just bought Asphodels.]
>[Funny thing is, I once came across Hoyun whilst he wasn't wearing a scent blocker and he smelt like a mix of sugar and something else.]
>>[Yeah, same thing here and I think it was Irises.]
>>>[Is there someone who smells like Irises?]
>>>>[I think Kim Iwol from Spark, but that's unconfirmed since he always wears scent blockers and only mentioned it. So it could be a lie since even the other members of Spark aren't sure.]
>[Right the moment I saw the content I literally found my dishwashing soap and took a long drag of it.]
>>[IMCRYIGN]
>>[OUR SUNGHYUN SMELLS LIKEDISHWASHING SOAP]
>>>[I'm no longer ashamed to wash dishes!]
>>[right and I don't even know how to smell warmth.]
>[God I wish they all never wore scent blockers.]
>>[Except for Sunghyun he can keep them on.]
[Title: Seo Hoyun is an OMEGA?
Title says it all I am FLABBERGASTED.]
>[One time I am happy to be an Alpha, my chances with Hoyun are higher by point one percent.]
>>[Keep dreaming.]
>>>[Okay]
>[I considered he could be a Beta, I thought he was an Alpha. Never did I consider Omega. FYCKNG OMEGA.]
>[So his breaks are for heat and not rut?]
>>[Obviously.]
>>>[I wish I could help him through his heat..]
>[He doesn't even fit the stereotype at ALL.]
>>[The mystery is cleared.]
Masked and thoroughly covered, Hoyun quietly, discreetly escapes the dorm to the airport to pick up Iwol from his schedule. He recognises the man immediately through a mix of their bond, and the fact he'd probably been too dazed from jet lag to wear a scent blocker. He's separate from his group, carrying that same scent that immediately leads Hoyun to forget what it means to remember they're in a public space, and thoroughly covered from head to toe. Though, his height still draws eyes every so often - not that Hoyun's also doesn't.
Either way, by the time their eyes meet, Hoyun's already wrapped his arms around Iwol, burying his face in his neck and fighting the urge to pull down his facemask and smell more deeply. He mumbles something about the rare occurrence of Iwol forgetting his own scent blockers, and winces slightly when he feels Iwol peeling the scent blocking patch from his neck, where his hands had already snaked under his hood.
When Hoyun looks up, he notices Spark watching in the distance, all of them looking dumbfounded even through their masks and coverings. Guess Iwol was just walking ahead of them.
[Title: FUCK IS IWOL MATED?
I was at the airport for something and saw Iwol, who was obviously Iwol, in the distance. He looked like he was trying not to show himself, since he was covered so I didn't bother him but FUCK. I could smell his scent and he does actually smell like Irises, but anyways, suddenly someone else who was just as covered (celebrity?? Idol??) went up and hugged him, and BURIED HTEIR FACE IN HIS NCECK. It's actually fucking crazy since I could see their celebrity aura and I didn't need to look at their face to know they were attractive, but they were like as tall as Iwol too. NA DO YOU KNOW WHAT IWOL DID?? He reaches up and takes a scent blocking patch off of them which I didn't know was there since they were covering like every inch of their skin and suddenly I smell sweets??? WHO IS IWOL MATED TO.]
>[Wait a fycking minute sweets? Sugar?]
>>[OH MY GOD IT IS SEO HOYUN.]
>[Image proof, OP.]
>>[OP: Wait,
[Image of two tall men hugging.]]
>>>[WHAT.]
>>>[HELLO?]
>>>[WHY ARE THEY MATED]
>>>[Do they even have content together.]
>>>>[No, they don't.]
>>>[Should be me........]
>[I can't sleep.]
>[Seo Hoyun: Oh!]
>>[WHATTRGEWBSQAWDUOQS]
>>[OP: Seo Hoyun?? THE SEO HOYUN??]
>>[Whta are you going here.../]
>>[Hoyunnie,.... don't lie..... are you mated....]
