@Blvynx you know what, ur right. its definitely necessary to note that pheromone interference would fundamentally distort anyone person sense of agency. However, Juhyeok didn’t enter this situation as a blank slate. His entire family is an alpha. He's been exposed to alpha pheromones his entire life. That history matters. Framing Su Ah as the sole reason for his pheromone instability ignores a significant part of the narrative and feels like you're hyper-focused on one element rather than the story as a whole. BUT Su Ah's not in the green at all, his behavior is unacceptable and his obsession knows no bounds. With that being said, when I say he should go to another alpha for help. I genuinely mean that, like maybe confiding in his mom or an actual specialist that can render treatment and navigate him OUT of this dependency. Cause going to a person who desires you beyond reason obviously is not the move.

@Deviant going to other alphas is not an option though? its shown that other alpha's pheromones make him sick, lets not forget that su-ah non consensuallyscented him for so long that the mc can now only depend on him
@Deviant
Yeah, I get what you’re saying about his family’s influence—it does matter that Juhyeok grew up around Alpha pheromones. But what you overlooked is that in the early chapters (around ch 1–3), the doctor explicitly states that Juhyeok FIRST presented as an Alpha during his initial secondary gender screening (his mom even confirmed it). Then suddenly turned as a recessive Omega overnight, which is exactly why the doctor questioned whether he’d been exposed to strong external pheromones. His family alone doesn’t explain that shift, if anything, he would’ve built some level of resistance or immunity to his family’s pheromones over time—especially since he USED to be an alpha himself as a child and was raised by them. A drastic switch like that realistically points to exposure to a far more dominant pheromone—Su Ah’s.
Sure, they were kids back then, so the early exposure may not have been intentional. But the dependency didn’t just come from accidental contact. Su Ah literally ADMITTED he’s been intentionally scenting Juhyeok ever since he became an Omega. That’s not passive influence—that’s sustained interference that went beyond normal biology.
That’s why Juhyeok isn’t only resistant to suppressants now—you forgot that he's become resistant to other Alphas’ pheromones too. It's not as if he's clinging out of desire or malice, it’s because THAT'S the only way he can stay stable. He’s even said he wants to stop depending on Su Ah and reclaim his autonomy. But Su Ah consistently ignores boundaries, which is why everything is this tangled. Family history matters, yes—but you can't ignore the years of intentional interference.
