This isn’t dating?????

 └ They’re totally dating, but the two of them don’t realize it.
└ LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
└ Agreed 2222222222222
└ Childhood friends doing Stage 2 Guiding is already beyond friendship.
└ But why does Hyun Tae-oh keep insisting they’re “just friends”ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ??
└ Seriously, he blocks every word like a brick wall with that “just friends” excuse
└ 222222 Agreed. Is he stringing him along???
└ Poor Chi-yu, my heart breaksㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ Probably ‘cause he’s dating Min Yu-hyun.
└ Stringing him along.
└ Kang Chi-yu is ridiculously handsome tho.
└ KANG RED PANDA FAN!!!!
└ What’s a “Kang Red Panda Fan”???
└ [Kang Chi-yu red panda meme.jip]
└ ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ he’s dazzling
└ His eyes are like some cartoon frog’s giant eyes lol
└ In real life he’s like 20x more handsome
└ [Kang Chi-yu smile clip.jip]
└ HHHHHHHHHHHㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ♡♡♡♡♡♡
└ Please let my Oppa’s face never leave my eyesㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

What was that sit-up sceneㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ that was insaneㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

 └ So heart-flutteringㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ And somewhere in the background, you hear someone screaming in frustration lolol
└ Wait, was that a drama parody segment!?!?!
└ LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
└ Ha ㅅㅂ Tae-oh is too cuteㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ Chi-yu is even cuterrrrㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ They’re not filming A Pair is Born, this is literally a dating show right now???
└ Even more than Park Cha-yoon & Jae, honestlyㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ At least those two were an official couple, these guys are supposed to be childhood friends…
└ Childhood friends kissing smh
└ Regular folks might not get it, but Espers and Guides have compatibility to begin with. Guides can survive without Espers, but Espers can’t live without Guides. So Hyun Tae-oh clinging obsessively to Kang Chi-yu kinda makes sense. But Tae-oh is so socially isolated, Chi-yu’s the only one around—calling it “love” feels iffy. Of course, since Tae-oh had that scandal with Min Yu-hyun, most people think he can function normally, but within the Central Bureau, everyone knows he keeps people away in a pretty pathological way… [Read More]
└ Look at this PhD stepping in.
└ That thesis-length comment
└ So what’s your conclusion lolol
└ Tbh, that makes sense, but it’s not like compatibility is so overpowering it explains everything. These two simply like each other as people.
└ 2222222222 Exactly. They just don’t realize it yet.
└ Truth 111111111
└ Someone please tell them they’re datingㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ 222222222222222

└ [Hyun Tae-oh duck lips.jpg]
└ OHHHHHHHHH
└ TYTYTY
└ I’ll take this humbly. Bless you.
└ AHHHHHH so cuteㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ I can’t breathe lololol this killed meㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

When Kang Chi-yu got hurt vs when Hyun Tae-oh got hurt—both times they went crazy over each other.

 └ 2222222222222
└ Can’t deny that.

That Stage 2 Guiding was legendaryㅠㅠㅠㅠ Episode 2 didn’t disappointㅠㅠㅠ

 └ I legit couldn’t sleep after watching that sceneㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ

 └ Not yet
└ Still a vs topic on ** forums

└ Totally Kang Chi-yu
└ Wait, Kang Chi-yu’s the prime candidate?? What does that mean??
└ Maybe he lost him at some point or something.
└ LOL what

└ ㅇㅇㅇㅇ yup just that is enough
└ TYTYTY

Anyone can see Kang Chi-yu likes Hyun Tae-oh.

 └ 2222 Exactly. You can see the longing in his eyesㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ There’s no way this is “just friends.”
└ I’ve had a childhood friend for ten years, and nope, never like this LOLOL
└ Sure, Espers & Guides are special, but even so this is way overboard.
└ They’ve been together for 20 years.
└ Wait what 20 years???
└ Yeah, they met at six. They’re twenty-seven now.
└ Whoa
└ Their friendship already turned into love, only they don’t realize it.
└ ㅠㅠㅠㅠ It’s so bittersweet.
└ Damn, starting today I’m officially shipping HyunTae-ChiYu
└ [Kang Chi-yu teary eyes.JPG] This pic is insaneㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ so handsome seriously
└ 22222222222
└ Is it just me or does that not open???????????
└ Same, what’s the content??
└ In the middle of the interview, there’s a question: “What if each of you found another precious person?” That’s what it’s about.
└ Ahㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ painfulㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ What’s the full text then
└ Someone reupload it plz

[Summary of Kang Chi-yu teary-eyed.JPG clip]

  1. What if the two of you each found another precious person?
    A. Hmm. (pauses) Of course I’d support them. (smiles, eyes damp though he doesn’t notice) As you know, Tae-oh’s been under the spotlight since he was a kid, so he’s wary of people. For someone like him to have someone precious—it’s only natural to celebrate it and support him.
  2. Wouldn’t you feel a little sad?
    A. Hmm. (pauses again. insanely handsome while thinking) Maybe a little? (slight frown. devastatingly handsome) (awkward, low laugh, unbearably handsome) Still, if my most precious fri…end found someone else precious, I’d be happy for him. (smiles, but his lips tremble slightly, which he doesn’t notice.)
  3. Do you think Esper Hyun Tae-oh feels the same? Wouldn’t he get jealous?
    A. No. To Tae-oh, I’m just his only friend. Nothing more, nothing less. (he emphasizes friend strongly, probably to counter all the dating rumors.)

Summary might not be 100% accurate. For exact lines, check **.

 └ LMAO this is almost word for word LOLOL  you’re good at describing
└ LOLLLLLLL
└ “To Tae-oh, I’m just his only friend”ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Who knew just could be such a heartbreaking wordㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ 222222222222ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ Just admit you’re in loveㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ Hyun Tae-oh, guilty as chargedㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

They’re already dating. Just admit it and go public, guys.

 └ Pretty much. Hyun Tae-oh: “We’re just friends” <– while doing everything couples do, including acting cute. Kang Chi-yu: clearly loves him, but Tae-oh keeps insisting “friends,” so now he’s kinda zen about it.
└ 2222222222222222
└ Exactly. That’s emotional manipulationㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ When he puckered his lips asking for Guiding—seriously, what kind of “friend” does that!!!
└ He just hasn’t realized it.
└ What if with PairBorn ending, he never realizesㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ If the reboot brings them back, maybe with some nudging they’ll finally get it.
└ Let’s file a petition to the network.

[Channel BGNK Viewer Petition Board_Link] Let’s all file together, guys!!!

Why does Kang Chi-yu look so forlornㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

 └ So true.
└ Someone called him a red panda lol
└ LMAOOOOOO Red panda
└ It’s perfect LOLOL
└ I wanna take him homeㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ Feed him, tuck him in, give him everything he wants (I own 5 buildings in H-21 zone btw)

Status: Completed Author:
[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.
