└ At this point, is he a genius or what?? LOL
└ Definitely a genius LOL
└ ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠTae-oh is so freaking cuteㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ Even SS-rank Espers lose their minds when prize money’s on the line…
└ You think it’s just about money?
└ A whole month of vacation is way more valuable than money.
└ I wish they’d film the vacation too…
└ 222222222222
└ 333333333
└ Just imagining it is hilarious.
└ Please make it happen!!!

Hyun Tae-oh won’t let go of Kang Chi-yu’s hand LOLOLOLOL are you insane??? XD
└ Excuse me, Esper Hyun Tae-oh, your partner is Guide Lee Jun-hyung, remember?? LOL
└ LOLOLOLOL
└ No, but Yoon Do-jae and Hyun Tae-oh are literally fighting over who gets to hold Kang Chi-yu’s hand LOL
└ Poor Chi-yu, what did he do to deserve this XD
└ They’re using abilities for this LMAO
└ This is getting intense XD
└ Yoon Do-jae tries to snatch Chi-yu’s hand away with his wind ability, but Hyun Tae-oh blocks it with Shadow Control.
└ What even is this tug-of-war?? LOL
└ DEFEND KANG CHI-YU’S HAND!!!
└ LMAOOOOO
└ Production staff: “This isn’t even the intended gameㅠㅠㅠㅠ”
└ LOLOLOL
└ The poor staff must be panicking LOL
└ Espers really are different. A variety show game turns into survival LOL
└ I wanna hold Chi-yu’s hand too.
└ 22222222222
└ At this point his hand must be plated in gold.
└ LOLOLOL

Beom Do-il doesn’t understand the game rules again…
└ LMAO he’s too funny and too cute, what do I doㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ Min Yu-hyun is pissed LOL
└ Idiot, you’re supposed to find Min Yu-hyun’s hand, not Guide Lee Jun-hyung’s!!!
└ LOLOLOL
└ Why are all the Espers so hilarious this time?
└ Beom Do-il’s charm is insane LOL
└ Am I watching a comedy show right now?ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ Hyun Tae-oh and Beom Do-il feel like brothers, they act the same way LOL

└ “You think I’m gonna lose this stupid game because of you!?!”
└ LOLOLOL
└ Do-il is too preciousㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ I’ll never forget Min Yu-hyun’s sharp, screechy voice yelling: “Esper Beom Do-il, get over here right now!?”
└ That line just echoes in my head LOL

Whoa, the prize is a stay at JPT Hotel?? That’s insane class
└ If it’s in Y-Zone, isn’t that basically a deserted island??
└ A deserted island is nothing to an Esper.
└ It’s fully equipped with everything, just no people.
└ If JPT built it, it’s definitely reliable. Look at the scale of PairBorn prizes.
└ The scale was already crazy just from having Hyun Tae-oh and Min Yu-hyun as cast.
└ So badass
└ But wait, wouldn’t it be weird if it ends up just Jun-hyung and Tae-oh going together??
└ No way it’ll be those two.
└ Either Tae-oh concedes so Jun-hyung goes with Do-il, or Jun-hyung concedes so Tae-oh goes with Chi-yu.
└ I’d bet a strand of my hair that Tae-oh never concedes.
└ Ha… I should’ve been born an Esper too…
└ Nah, being a low-tier Esper is worse than being a regular person.
└ Yeah, E-rank Espers can’t even teleport.
└ True2222222
└ And it’s hard to even get a jobㅠㅠㅠ (I’m an E-rank Esper)
└ (pat pat)
└ Should’ve been born a Guideㅠㅠ Even E-rank Guides get jobs easily..

Doto**
Happy Birthday, Do-il!!!
└ Happy birthday, Beom-do!!
└ Too bad… the Black Gate special ate up too much timeㅠㅠㅠ
└ Guess we’ll celebrate properly next year…
└ Oppa, belated happy birthday!!!
└ Bet they had a huge birthday party in the dorms.
└ 22222222 Seeing their swollen faces the next day was proof LOL
└ LOLOL
└ Wish they’d livestream those moments uncutㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ Hope they release the unaired footage later…
└ 2222222
└ 3333333
└ 44444444

Wait, why is there suddenly a cat???
└ Looks like a mutant beast.
└ Why are mutant beasts so cute these days???
└ Did mutations evolve to maximize cuteness??
└ Too adorableㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ That’s a beast?? No way.
└ Looks like they cut it deliberately—probably that beast from when Tae-oh and Chi-yu went to assist in M-Zone.
└ Yeah, someone living there uploaded that part online.
└ That’s the same berserk mutant from last week’s report.
└ How the hell can it change so drastically after Rampage Recovery, like a freaking transforming robot??
└ Amazing
└ It appeared for about 10 seconds before the meal scene, then the footage got cut—pretty sure that berserk beast = this cat.
└ Yup, Chi-yu reached out to use Rampage Recovery, but that whole part was cut.
└ He did the same thing he did during the Black Gate, but they edited it out.
└ Probably classified as a state-level ability, so they had to censor it.
└ Makes sense. No other country has a Guide who can do Rampage Recovery and Wave Stabilization at the same time.
└ But all that footage of Chi-yu Guiding the berserk beast already leaked online; no sanctions, so maybe not that classified.
└ Damn, I really wanna raise it
└ Cute, but why’s the cat sticking its tongue out??
└ Forget that, why is it oinking LOL
└ Oinking cat XD
└ Yoon Do-jae feeding it is killing me LOL he looks like a babysitter XD
└ He’s dead serious about it too XD
└ OMG their chemistry is goldㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ Like a dadㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ Chi-yu’s naming sense tho LMAO
└ Pure simplicity XD
└ Heard he once named his old cat “Dog” LOL
└ Yeah that’s famous LOL Tae-oh even named his dog “Cat” XD
└ Those two are made for each otherㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ Still, that’s really a mutant beast??
└ No such thing as winged cats, so yeah.

Tera*
No wonder Catdog feels like the seventh cast member LOL
└ Agreed. Since Catdog showed up, everyone’s just looking for Catdog.
└ Same LOL I keep scanning the screen for Catdog every time it pans XD
└ This season is insane—what kind of show has mutant beasts as cast members??
└ But it’s really cute.
└ Catdog merch will sell like crazy.
└ Already talking merch?? XD
└ The plushies they used in the first game were all sold out.
└ Even Jun-hyung’s and Do-il’s and Do-jae’s?
└ Yep.
└ Our Do-jae’s plush sold out faster than light.
└ If you buy Do-il’s, you kinda have to buy Jun-hyung’s too, or Do-il will cry.
└ LOL true, I bought them as a set too.
└ I’ve got them displayed side by side at home.
└ At this point, aren’t Do-il and Jun-hyung basically a couple? LOL

The third game is kinda dirty LOL
└ Beom Do-il and Lee Jun-hyung really seem like pure friends.
└ Nah, you don’t know about the doll incident??
└ Yeah, the one where Min Yu-hyun blew a gasket LOL
└ Do-il definitely likes Jun-hyung, for real.
└ Or maybe just as a friend? It felt natural.
└ Meanwhile Yu-hyun and Do-jae look like they think it’s just a “drop the item” game??
└ They look like they really don’t want to touch each other LOL
└ But they actually match well, come onㅠㅠㅠㅠ

The inner-thought interviews are great.
└ Min Yu-hyun shows up in Part 2.
└ Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
└ Tsk tsk tsk tsk
└ Of course Yu-hyun had to be included.
└ Who’s his Pair?
└ Yoon Do-jae or Beom Do-il.
└ Probably Do-il.
└ Really??
└ Do-jae said in interview he’s not pairing.
└ Jun-hyung too.
└ So it’s Yu-hyun and Do-il
└ Wish Tae-oh and Chi-yu would get interviewed tooㅠㅠㅠ
└ 222222222

└ They suit each other so wellㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ That last line from Tae-oh was terrifying.
└ Honestly, that was too much.
└ Why though???
└ Who does he think he is, warning antis to “be careful at night”?
└ Exactly. He should know no one would take that as a joke.
└ Is it okay for an SS-rank Esper to say “watch your back at night” on broadcast??
└ LOL classic bad personality.
└ Or maybe just what anyone would say if their lover was being harassed.
└ ???Anyone?????
└ Correction: only Tae-oh can pull that off.
└ From his perspective, it makes sense.
└ 222222222 Yup.
└ Who’d dare complain they’re scared? XD
└ Someone posted on ** that an anti even set fire to Chi-yu’s house. Knowing that, his words make sense.
└ WHAT, someone set fire to his house???
└ Yeah, apparently it was a fire-attribute Esper.
└ That’s insane.
└ So that’s why he said it.
└ Okay, fire’s crossing the line.
└ Either way, Tae-oh’s badass.

└ 55555555
└ Please, bring back Tae-oh and Do-ilㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ Why cut Yoon Do-jae though???
└ He’s just not variety-show material.
└ Guys, I keep telling you, this isn’t a variety comedy show.

Status: Completed Author: Released: Free chapters released every Friday
[World-renowned SS-rank Esper Hyun Tae-oh appears on A Pair is Born!] The hit reality show A Pair is Born throws Espers and Guides into temporary pairings selected by viewer votes, broadcasting every raw moment of their shared daily lives. To everyone's surprise, the temporary partner for Hyun Tae-oh—one of only three SS-rank Espers in existence—is none other than his childhood friend, Kang Chi-yu, a B-rank Guide. Kang Chi-yu, who had recently decided to give up his long-standing unrequited love for Tae-oh, had been actively avoiding him. But Hyun Tae-oh flatly refused to join the show with anyone else. “If you’re suddenly up for doing this, then do it with some other Guide. Why me?!” “Who else would I do it with, if not you?” *** “You. So why did you run away?” “Run away from what?” “Stop pretending you didn’t. Just tell me why.” What’s the point of putting distance between us before we even grow old—when we’re just friends? Hyun Tae-oh does everything, crosses every line, and still insists they’re just friends. Once again, Kang Chi-yu steels his heart. He swore to bury this pathetic, tender longing he’d kept hidden all these years— and go back to being just soft, harmless friends.
