Episode 8

NEW PHEROMONE, THIS SCENT COMES FROM YOU!! ＼ (°□°＼).

I arrive in the dining room and everyone is already gathered at the table, including my little one. She smiles when she sees me.

"Hi, Daddy! Papa!"

"Hi, my princess! How is my beautiful daughter? Come here to daddy!"

"Daddy, is mommy going to have lunch with us, Daddy?"

"Of course she is, daughter. Now come here, my love. How grown up you are, my beautiful girl."

I carry her in my arms and playfully toss her in the air. She smiles. When she sees Junno coming down the stairs, something catches my attention. He looks quite simple today, not as heavily made-up as usual. He's also not wearing any jewelry like he normally does.

Then he does what he does best - he ignores our daughter once again. I embrace her tightly and she clings to his leg, calling him "Mommy".

As we dine, I can't explain it. When I look at him, it's as if he's a different person. His gaze is softer and his way of speaking is different. But it's not possible - he's just the same arrogant person as always!

I shouldn't be swayed by his sweetness. He always causes trouble afterwards. What surprises me even more is when he takes our daughter's plate, cuts the meat into small pieces, and feeds her. It's something he has never done before. Not only am I surprised, but everyone around the table looks at him in disbelief.

My omega brother, Mei, starts criticizing him. But why doesn't he react? In the past, he would have caused a scene.

"Mei provokes him even more, talking about the alleged infidelity. I know Junno can be difficult, but I trust him. I know he would never cheat on me."

Mei gets up and pours wine over Junno's head. That's enough for me. I won't allow him to humiliate my partner any further!

I become furious with Mei. He looks at me apprehensively. I grab his arm and scold him.

Then I ask him to go to our room. When we get there, I tell him to take a shower.

Jhonatan

"If you want, I can join you? But maybe I can help you have a better shower, what do you think?"

Jaime

"No... you don't need to!! Thank you, but I'll just be fine on my own this time, OK? Can you wait for me outside? ƪ(‾.‾“)┐"

"Alright, don't take too long! But I'll be waiting for you out here. He enters the bathroom and I start analyzing. Why on earth is he acting so strangely?"

It's been a while since we made love, and if he doesn't desire me, I hope he comes to me.

Then I see him coming out with a towel, his hair still dripping. I ask him why he didn't dry his hair in the bathroom as usual.

Jaime

"I don't really like using a hairdryer because it gives me headaches. Oops, I mean... I just don't feel like using it today."

I tell him it's alright, it's his decision. He approaches the window and a breeze carries his scent to my nose. I move closer, pressing him against the wall. He looks at me, a little frightened, trying to push me away. I smell his neck and try to kiss him, but he doesn't let me and turns to face the wall, hiding his blush. I embrace him from behind, and he becomes even more tense.

Jhonatan

"Junno, what the hell is going on? I am your spouse! I have every right to be with you! You are my destined one. How many days has it been, a whole month since we had any kind of intimacy? What's happening? Don't you love me anymore? We've been married for eight years and you still haven't let me mark you!"

Junno cries, and I become overwhelmed. He's trembling. I hug him and try to calm him down, and that's when I smell this scent coming from him - a good scent, a different scent...

"Junno, your pheromone scent is different from usual, this scent..."

Junno runs off and sprays perfume. Then he breaks down, and I ask him.

"Why on earth did you put on perfume? Don't you want me to smell your scent?"

"I was trying to understand this new scent coming from you, but now I can't smell it anymore."

Junno, why is the scent of your pheromone different?

Jaime

"Um..."
