Cinnamon rolls (Seongjoong)
Nilucz
In the warm, fragrant kitchen of Utopia-a cozy café and bakery tucked away in a quiet part of the city-Seonghwa, a bunny hybrid and omega, begins his day before dawn, pouring his devotion into pastries and coffee. His bakery is not just his livelihood, but his sanctuary: a place of routine, peace, and carefully managed boundaries.
However, peace falters when a mysterious stranger enters. Hongjoong, a broad-shouldered alpha with a guarded presence, is new to the neighborhood. Their meeting is subtle but charged-Seonghwa's scent blockers are beginning to fade, his natural pheromones blending dangerously with the sugar and spice of the café. Their conversation begins casually, but with undertones of something deeper: curiosity, caution, and the quiet recognition of shared secrets.
Despite their brief interaction, a connection sparks, lingering even after Hongjoong leaves.
As the morning resumes its rhythm, Seonghwa is left with more than just the scent of pastries in the air-he's left with the feeling that something new has begun.
