    Summary

    Jimin keeps to the edges.
    Behind mascot masks, beneath scent suppressants, hidden inside routines built to keep the world at a distance. Loving Jeon Jungkook quietly is safe. Being noticed has never been.

    Then a scheduling change puts the campus golden boy in the seat beside him.

    Jungkook is untouchable.
    Football star. Heir to an empire. The kind of alpha people instinctively make space for. But beneath the perfect image is something sharper, older, and far more interested in Park Jimin than Jimin is prepared for.

    At first, it’s only traces.

    A scent Jungkook can’t place.
    A boy who watches exits before entering rooms.
    The instinctive need to move closer.
    Protect closer.
    Stay.

    Jimin has spent years hiding his scent.
    Jungkook has spent weeks trying to understand why the absence of it feels unbearable.

    Some obsessions begin with a look.
    Others begin with recognition.

    And once instinct decides someone is yours to protect?

    Letting go becomes impossible.

    or: Jimin hides behind a mascot head and pheromone blockers while Jungkook develops a biological need to keep him alive.
