Fate Mate

Kwon Sehyeon has always carried a secret that defies classification: he is both alpha and omega, a rare and volatile duality that makes him a target in a world rigidly divided by secondary genders. When his omega traits finally manifest—late and dangerously unstable—he makes the only choice he can, slipping into the beta dormitory at his university to shield himself from the instinctual pull of alphas. It is a sanctuary of anonymity, a place where he can disappear among the ordinary and keep his chaotic biology in check. But the fragile safety of his new life begins to unravel when he discovers that his kind-hearted roommate and childhood friend, Seo Junhoo, is harboring a secret of his own. Junhoo is an alpha, and he has entered the beta dorm for reasons he has yet to reveal. The weight of this revelation crashes over Sehyeon, forcing him to confront the impossible: the one person he trusts most is exactly the kind of danger he has sworn to avoid. Logic dictates a swift escape—a room change, distance, a clean break before instincts can betray them both. Yet pulling away from Junhoo proves far more difficult than Sehyeon ever imagined, as their long friendship blurs the lines between comfort and desire. Then, without warning, Sehyeon's body succumbs to an unexpected heat cycle, shattering the careful walls he has built. In the suffocating intimacy of their shared room, the two friends cross a threshold from which there is no return, and the bond they forge in the heat of the moment threatens to consume everything they once knew.
