Chapter 42
“Huh?”
Juha looked up in disbelief. Taeri’s face, somehow urgent, came into view. The screen had already changed to instructions about text voting.
As if such things didn’t matter, Taeri pushed him with his body, making Juha lie down.
“What, what is it?”
“Why don’t you cry like that in front of me?”
…It was an absurd question.
“I did cry there. What else would I have to cry about in front of you?”
Juha said, gesturing toward the screen with his chin.
“It’s annoying. That got broadcast so all the other bastards saw you like that and must have all fallen for you.”
“Fallen for what?”
Taeri grumbled and sucked on Juha’s neck. His lips pressed with as much force as the emotion he was feeling right now.
“Ugh… no. Filming starts the day after tomorrow.”
“I’m really angry.”
There was plenty to be angry about. Juha burst into laughter but then suddenly his expression hardened.
“Ta-Taeri…”
“I’m horny.”
In other words, he had become a horny bastard, so don’t stop him. Taeri’s eyes flashed as he rushed toward Juha’s lips again.
* * *
After spending time frantically, the two dozed off. When Juha opened his eyes after sleeping sweetly, Taeri was sound asleep while holding him.
‘It’s past 1 o’clock…’
Juha looked at his watch and fell into brief contemplation.
Since he had to go to the group lodging from dawn the day after tomorrow, he absolutely had to sleep at home today. But seeing Taeri sleeping peacefully like a kitten beside him, he couldn’t bring himself to leave.
‘Today can’t be helped.’
Juha gently rubbed Taeri’s wrist with his thumb.
“Taeri…”
When he quietly called his name in a low voice, Taeri opened his eyes pleasantly.
“Mmm…”
Seeing him answer obediently, it seemed he had returned from being horny back to being Taeri.
“I think I should go home today.”
“Hmm… don’t go…”
Taeri whined and hugged Juha tightly.
Since Juha didn’t want to go either, he couldn’t bring himself to be cold. Only after stroking Taeri’s face and giving him kisses for a while did Taeri release his embrace.
When Juha got up and put on his clothes, Taeri looked at him with pitiful eyes again. After finishing his preparations to leave, Juha stroked Taeri’s cheeks.
“You can sleep alone, right?”
“I’ll try.”
Though Taeri was 185cm tall and strong enough to take down a bull, when he acted like this, he looked like a child again, making Juha’s heart ache.
Even though he resolved it couldn’t be helped, his steps leaving him behind wouldn’t come easily.
* * *
As soon as he got in the taxi, Juha went to check the message boards.
Since it had been 2 hours since the live broadcast ended, the message boards were in complete chaos. The latest posts were covered with curses about rigging and whatever, cursing the PD and judges.
All kinds of reactions were mixed together, but what was most important to Juha was the stage reactions. He started reading from the very last page of posts uploaded today.
[Title: I thought Lee Juha was a man until now, but I was wrong]
‘He’s not a man, he’s a male.
Fuck, someone please control me…
Panting panting’
â””Male as fuckzzz
â””He usually got cursed for having no charisma, but was he preparing this?
└└Wow… was this all part of a bigger picture?
└└I like idols with extreme temperature differences, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone this extreme.
└└Like thinking it was a steamer but lava is boiling inside, or thinking it was an ice water dispenser but it’s an iceberg where Dooly’s mom is frozen floating around…
[Title: Lee Juha definitely drew a big picture]
‘He was fucking stuttering and mumbling, and even when learning dance from Choi Taeri during live shows, he didn’t make a peep and just squirmed around waiting, but he was preparing for this.
It’s like he didn’t just tear up the stage, he shredded it to pieces, stomped on it with his shoes, burned it with fire, turned it to powder, mixed it with water and slurped it down’
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋNo wayㅋㅋㅋㅋWhy did you turn the kid into Texas Chainsaw Massacre
â””It’s a development that would make the lambs fucking silent…
└└How bad must it have been for Lee Cheong to stay silent… Even singers with 20 years of debut experience avoid Lee Cheong
└└Is this confirmed?
└└This is famous. My cousin’s friend’s boyfriend’s brother works at a broadcasting station and says Lee Cheong’s stylists tremble
└└If it’s that bad, isn’t that too much…
[Title: Lee Juha is definitely a psychopath]
‘In interviews he said “Thank you for sparing me”
But on stage he’s like “I’ll spare you”‘
â””This is so realã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹
â””I made eye contact with the camera and almost came.
â””Where does something like that come from…
â””Seeing he can draw such a big picture, he’ll skyrocket
└└Always “big picture big picture” when it comes to Lee Juha. What is Lee Juha, MS Paint?
└└No, it could be Photoshop, why are you killing our kid’s spirit
[Title: Wow…Choi Taeri’s testosterone is exploding]
‘His torn outfit is already crazy but
At the end when he wrapped the tie around Lee Juha’s neck
And then glared at him all pissed off was so sexy and spine-chilling.
Does he drink testosterone instead of water for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?’
â””Or shower with testosterone
â””How long has he been twenty and what kind of masculinity is not just swirling but beating me up? Is this even allowed
└└Since it’s allowed, just a little more… hah… Choi Taeri please fucking take me.
└└Even throwing things away costs money these days. Be careful with gifts.
â””The song sounded like a beast’s roar
â””Ugh what chest muscles…ugh…(this shouldn’t be PDF-worthy right)
â””Didn’t one escape from the X brand…
â””Our kid doesn’t bite
└└But he looks like he would bite…hmm…
â””This is what a man is
â””Wait, weren’t these guys born around the Korea-Japan World Cup? What is this…
└Honestly if people wrote exactly what they felt watching that stage here, the cyber investigation unit would have to load trucks full ㅇㅇ
[Title: Choi Taeri seems like a bubble]
‘Everyone praised dance major idols for being skilled so he got complacent and ended up like this.’
â””Yeah. Our Tae is a bubble. Unbelievable^^
â””I thought he’d be eliminated with just one mistake because Lee Juha did too well
â””He was half-hearted from the preparation. While Lee Juha was putting his life on the line, watching Choi Tae being lazy was disgusting
â””Did you make your eyes out of candy? Besides the landing failure, what exactly did Choi Taeri do wrong?
â””Landing failure is also skill. Since Lee Juha made no mistakes, Lee Juha winning is right
└└ㅇㅇLook at the Olympics too. No matter how well you do, you can’t beat a perfect clean player
The moment he read the post, Juha’s spine went cold.
As expected, just as the production crew intended, the public started doubting and cursing Taeri. And naturally, the comparison target was Lee Juha.
[Title: Where are the Tae-birds?]
‘The humans who were going crazy about “Either way it’s Taeri” shut up and hid ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹
They were just walking around during practice ㅉㅉㅉ’
â””They quietly switched to other coins ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹
â””Honestly Choi Taeri was only good in the first episode, as time goes on he’ll inevitably be pushed out by other kids
â””Write this stuff after doing some research ã…‰
â””In the end Choi Taeri gets eliminated ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹
‘What’s research?’
This word that occasionally appeared while reading fan reactions was completely impossible to infer the meaning of.
Though he was curious about the new word, he didn’t want to see curses about Taeri. Juha skipped all the criticism posts about Taeri and searched for posts worth reading.
[Title: Even Lee Juha crying is godlike.]
‘(High-quality corrected crying photo.gif)
When Lee Juha cries hard, Choi Taeri smiles and comforts him.
Aren’t these really heart-wrenching tears?’
â””I thought he had insane decadent beauty but his crying photo is almost like a romance heroine?
â””Is it real that Choi Taeri smiled while hugging him and Lee Juha wiped his tears trying not to cry?
â””The pomade hair that seemed meticulously styled strand by strand falling down while crying with red eyes is such a charm point.
└└Like jewels falling from his eyes.
â””Choi Taeri is so sweet…pleased…
â””But what about Taeri’s ankle? If he’s using crutches, isn’t it serious?
└└The broadcasting bastards are really too much. How can they keep making such a fuss while a kid gets to that state
└└I’m worried about this too. It’s not broken right? He barely passed but what if he ruins the next competition because of ankle injury ã… ã…
‘Ah…’
Seeing the fans’ worries reminded him of Taeri’s ankle he had forgotten about. Though he’s running around now saying he’s all better, Juha still couldn’t feel at ease.
After skipping many unpleasant posts, Juha read another post.
[Title: From today I became a fan of Hehe-Juha]
‘Is going up with Choi Taeri such a good thing
Hehe-Juha.jpg
Good hehe…
Good hehe…
Good hehe…’
â””I’ve never seen Lee Juha smile like that
└ㅇㅇThis is probably the first time in Lee Juha’s life smiling like that too
â””Really even seeing it again it’s so charming…how is that the same insane control freak trainer…
‘Was it that much…’
Seeing fans getting excited over his actions made Juha feel strange. He had worried because he acted emotionally without thinking, but fans actually liked that even more.
The clip of Choi Taeri suddenly running to Juha during the dance pairing game surpassed 1 million views in just a week.
Lee Juha’s fans were completely immersed in the program.
He tried to read a few more posts, but the further back he went, the titles made him frown.
[Title: Fuck if you’re going to rig it, put some effort into it]
[Title: Not Gnet but G-shit Net bastards]
[Title: Choi Taeri pay for that ankle you fucking bastards!]
[Title: The rigging didn’t just fly up, it broke through space and went up]
[Title: Broadcasting station bastards with no parents, you slurping fucks]
“…”
Juha clicked on one relatively mild post.
[Title: We didn’t need to worry about Satan’s job.]
‘Satan never lost his job.
Satan just got hired at a broadcasting station.’
â””Holy shit…Forbes selected as this year’s most accurate statement #1
“We’re here.”
Just as he was getting nauseous from all the posts full of curses, the taxi arrived in front of his house.
Juha said goodbye and got out of the taxi.
As he was about to enter the apartment building, he suddenly noticed the convenience store at the entrance.
Only then did he remember Lee Yunha asking him to buy ice cream a week ago. Juha bought one each of the Bbureo-bwa Cone and World Cone that Yunha had mentioned and headed home.
While riding the elevator up, Juha decided to read just one more post.
[Title: Choi Taeri X Lee Juha inspiration came to me]
‘Choi Taeri: Psychopath alpha who committed heinous crimes everywhere, went crazy and got caught
Lee Juha: Royal straight flush beautiful omega profiler
Profiler Lee Juha goes in to interview the vicious criminal Choi Taeri.
He’s so vicious they always have interviews with bars between them, but whenever Choi Taeri sees Lee Juha he always grins and makes stupid jokes to play with him.
Lee Juha’s default is being fed up. He’s so arrogant that whatever Choi Taeri says, he just says what he wants and goes home.
One day, as usual with bars between them, Choi Taeri sexually harasses him saying “Our profiler has slim legs, if I escaped you couldn’t catch up,” and Lee Juha is giving him the cold stare while being fed up as always when suddenly Choi Taeri goes into rut.
Because alpha pheromones explode, even profiler Lee Juha is forced into heat cycle
Meanwhile Choi Taeri grabs the bars with both hands and watches Lee Juha suffer while feeling ecstasy.
Royal straight flush omega arrogant supreme Lee Juha finally can’t stand it and voluntarily enters the cell where Choi Taeri is.
Imagine the rest yourself.
End.’
â””Crime investigation omegaverse ã…
â””Wow, I imagined Choi Taeri watching Lee Juha suffer while grabbing the bars and laughing.
â””Psychopath seme X profiler uke restaurant
â””You’re a Lee Juha fan right? Lee Juha’s modifiers are fucking long ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹
â””Hey shit… you can’t bring up omegaverse here
â””Thanks but write this stuff with warnings
â””Crazy fuckã„·ã„·ã„·ã„·ã„·ã„·How can you write this here what should we do you’re insane?
â””Delete it right now or put warnings
â””Delete it before our kid sees it. Wow just thinking about looking this up gives me chills. You didn’t do this on purpose right?
â””Commenters above get your heads straight, you should curse at this kind of post without warnings, not sit there admiring it you crazy fucks
‘What is this saying.’
He could roughly understand the story but there were too many words he didn’t know. In this post, besides the names, there wasn’t a single word Juha knew. Especially the word ‘warnings’ and the word about putting them bothered him.
As he was tilting his head in confusion, the elevator dinged its arrival. Despite the late hour, Lee Yunha was lying upside down on the living room sofa looking at her phone.
“Hey, eat ice cream.”
Juha casually held out the ice cream.
“Did you pick this up on the way?”
“Yeah. Brush off the dirt and eat it.”
Yunha excitedly got up and ate the ice cream. Juha, eating ice cream beside her, suddenly remembered the post he had seen earlier.
“Lee Yunha, do you happen to know what heat cycle or cycle heat something is?”
“What, are you watching baseball?”
Yunha answered with a completely uninterested tone.
“No, ah what was it. Something about omega…”
“Clock?”
“Pheromones exploding? Something like that?”
The moment Juha muttered, Yunha stopped mid-bite of her ice cream.
