Between Laughter and Lies

Soobin was supposed to blend in.

As a beta, she always had.

No strong scent.
No instincts worth noticing.
No reason for alphas to look twice.

But at her new school, staying invisible becomes a lot harder than it used to be.

Especially around Kim Seungmin.

What starts as casual conversations and shared laughter slowly turns into late-night talks, lingering glances, and a connection neither of them planned for.

For the first time, Soobin starts to feel like she might actually belong.

But instincts don't lie.

And when the foundation of their relationship begins to crack, Soobin is left questioning what was real, what wasn't...

and whether she was ever meant to fit in at all.
