It hinted to be SuHa fault. In omegaverse ,depending on the story, usually alphas and omegas are able to control their pheromones except during rut and heat. Here the thing, in ch0 SuHa was realising them without knowing and in ch1 its explained he been exposed to an alpha pheromones. That's my interpretation but I don't think it was a casual choice from author.
Imo I don't think that chapter was hinted that Suah's releasing them without knowing. Since it only happened when he was extremely mad and it stopped immediately when Juhyeok saved him. I read that chapter as a premonition that suah is an Alpha instead of an omega which what they both were expecting him to be.

but i could’ve sworn folks on here was arguing that the ML, specifically, changed him into an omega ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
