Wang Yibo has an obsession with Xiao Zhan, the lead singer of the band 'Twin Prides of Music'. His goal is to exact revenge on Jiang Zhuocheng, the brother of that omega, not love. Perhaps Zhan did nothing, but Yibo was punished by his brother on hi...
Zhan rushes into his room and throws himself on the bed, thinking about what he has just done. His whole body feels as if it is on fire as he tries to hold back the urges that are slowly winning the fight. It's nothing. It's just gratitude. He expressed his gratitude to Yibo for helping him out of danger. It isn't supposed to mean anything, yet he's making the biggest deal out of it and freaking out. Why is this getting to him so much?
His stomach feels slightly sick as some fear starts to creep into him. He doesn't know what it is, but he feels something wrong will happen. Despite his efforts, he can't shake the thought from his mind. He closes his eyes and rubs them for a minute when a strong hand grabs him by the arm and pulls him up. Flinching, he opens his eyes and puts his hand on the other person's, who used to be his brother.

"B-Brother!!" He stutters, not knowing the reason behind the deep hatred in Cheng's eyes.
"Stop calling me that," Cheng growls, his eyes burning with anger as he grips Zhan tightly. "I treat you like my own blood, but you don't deserve it. You're nothing but a worthless, pathetic omega who deceives me with that lunatic Wang Yibo. I should have known better than to trust you," he grits his teeth, emanating an unpleasant scent.
Upon hearing that, Zhan freezes and stuns in place because it's huge. Even in his dreams, he didn't think to fool Cheng, but something made him feel like that. What is that? There is no telling what Cheng is capable of when he's livid.
Cheng laughs maniacally as he watches Zhan's shocked expression and clutches his arm even tighter. "Are you thinking about how I figure it out, or what lie to cover up this time?" He pulls Zhan against him and shouts in his face, the rage boiling inside him evident.
"How dare you bring him here, huh?" Cheng growls. "Don't you have shame when clinging to him at the front of the bakery, huh?" He yells and shakes Zhan violently. "Wait! How could you when it's not the first time?"
Tears roll down Zhan's cheeks at Cheng's venom-filled words. It tears at each nerve in his heart. "Don't talk like that, brother. It hurts! I didn't do anything, I swear. I didn't lie to you about anything. I didn't bring him here. At the bakery," The words halt in his throat when Cheng slams him against the table. As a result, the vase falls on the floor and breaks into several pieces, just like Zhan's heart.
"Shut up!" Cheng shouts, never having been this enraged before. "I don't want to hear your lies anymore. Maybe you're the one who brought him to our band to be with him."
"No!" Zhan winces, squeezing his eyes closed tight and dropping more fresh tears. It feels a lot like being trapped underwater. Not having the strength to hold back anymore, he releases a bitter scent of spice and lotus to disgust the alpha and make him stay away. His silent tears turn into a high-pitched cry of pain and grief as he pleads, "I didn't do anything."
Cheng seems to sense the change in Zhan's scent and pulls back. Looking down, he sees the dark bruises forming already—a bracelet of blue around Zhan's upper arm. His heart clenches at the sight, knowing that he is the one responsible for causing him pain. He gently reaches out to touch the bruises, his fingers hovering just above the discolored skin before pulling away.
