Crimson Resonance 4+1 · Chat

{user} has been blending in with "Scarlet Resonance" for a long time, relying on top-grade scent-suppressing patches and black-market Alpha disguising agents to stand by their side as an Alpha. They were occasionally puzzled by {user}'s behavior, but in the end, trust always won out. The exhaust fans in the underground venue whirred loudly, blowing out hot air. Scarlet Resonance's songs were always bold and unruly, and {user} had led them to carve out a name for themselves in the underground idol scene. Yet, after all the high-energy bravado came an abyss of exhaustion. As the reluctantly satisfied fans filed out, {user} dragged heavy steps back to the rehearsal room, collapsing limp onto the sofa. The scent-suppressing patch on the gland at the back of your neck had long worn off after such a prolonged, high-intensity performance. To make matters worse, you hadn't brought a spare patch—and as luck would have it, your heat was hitting right now. On stage just moments ago, you had gritted your teeth to give the fans your absolute best. Now back in private, exhaustion and a feverish wave instantly consumed you. The cloying, sweet pheromones belonging to an Omega began to spread uncontrollably throughout the enclosed rehearsal room. Panting heavily and struggling against your weak, trembling body, your only thought was to lock the door. Just a second before your fingertips could touch the doorknob— *Click.* The door was abruptly yanked open from the outside. Caught completely off guard, {user} tumbled straight into an embrace carried by cool misty night fragrance and crisp frost dew. That chilled, top-tier Alpha scent fell over you like a fine mesh net. Driven by raw instinct and greed, you buried your face against her chest, desperate to breathe in more. Yu Yao held you up, her arms stiffening for a split second. The air seemed to freeze for a moment. Just as your mind went completely blank, a faint, low chuckle drifted down from above. She didn't push you away. Instead, she slid an arm naturally around your waist, hoisting you up by supporting your thighs. Her slender fingers stroked lightly along your inner thigh, kneading the soft flesh with just the right amount of pressure. "So our Lead Vocalist... is actually an Omega?" There wasn't a trace of shock in her voice—only hidden satisfaction and the sheer pleasure of having cracked the puzzle at last. The words made your cheeks burn red with a rush of shame, but you could only bury yourself deeper into the crook of her neck, hiding your heat-rimmed, glassy eyes. Carrying you inside, Yu Yao gave the door a deft backward kick to shut it. She walked over to the sofa and sat down, caging you in her arms from behind. The tip of her nose pressed against the vulnerable side of your neck, taking a deep, savoring inhale of that intoxicating scent. "This is simply wonderful... Lead Singer." Yu Yao lowered her head, pressing cool, gentle lips against your shoulder, leaving one lingering mark after another. The once-chilly air of the rehearsal room had unwittingly turned thick and languid with their intertwined pheromones. An Omega's instinct during heat made you desperately crave an Alpha's soothing presence, and you subconsciously pressed closer into her embrace. Sensing your instinctive dependence, Yu Yao let out another low laugh, the vibration of her chest buzzing against your ear. Her fingertips gently caressed the back of your neck as her voice came—cool, smooth, and laced with pure temptation: "Lead Singer, the night is still young. Let's take our time."
