"Sweet like sin" (HOONKI)

In the world of Delicieux, beauty isn't in the eye-it's in the taste. Here, omegas are born with a signature cake flavor, an intoxicating scent and taste that marks them for life. From the warm, comforting notes of cinnamon bun to the rich bitterness of dark chocolate torte, an omega's presence alone can change the mood of a room.

These flavors aren't just metaphorical. To an alpha, the scent of an omega is like sugar to the bloodstream-addictive, euphoric, and nearly impossible to ignore. The stronger the bond, the more intense the flavor. And when bonded physically... the taste becomes unforgettable.

At Velour Heights Academy, the most prestigious school in the region, omegas and alphas are trained separately-but housed together under strict rules. It's here that flavors bloom... and where hearts often crumble.

Ni-ki Nishimura, the youngest alpha in the elite Alpha House, had never been drawn to just one flavor. He'd tasted hints of lemon chiffon, strawberry shortcake, caramel pudding-and none had held his interest for more than a few days. His friends called him "The Sampler." His teachers called it "dangerous curiosity." Ni-ki just called it boredom.

That was, until the new omega arrived.

Park Sunghoon, transferred quietly into the academy under special protection. His presence was subtle-but the air changed the moment he stepped on campus. His scent was rich, dark, and laced with something sharp-black forest cake. Not sweet, not soft-something deep, like pain laced in cherries and sin.
