The PD, who had to ask the prepared questions regardless of what Evan and Siwoo said, soothed them as they flirted in front and threw out the next question.
- No. Why are you reaching an agreement here? Anyway, you’ve maintained a good relationship with positive feelings from the early days of your activities. Then. Well, it’s a common question, but what did you like about each other?
Coco: Face!
Evan: ……Yeah. Thank… thanks, but couldn’t you think about it for even one second before answering?
At Siwoo’s answer that popped out simultaneously with the PD’s question ending, a heavy silence descended on the filming site, and it was the embarrassed Evan who broke that silence.
Coco: ……is also good, but personality! Personality!
Evan: Too late, Coco. I… it’s this aspect of Coco. It’s always beyond imagination. Anywhere. Being unpredictable is a bonus.
At this precarious and risky level yet honest appearance of theirs, the PD’s lips were already hanging on their ears. Ocean had tried to show as much of their comfortable, original selves as possible. But since broadcasting was broadcasting, they had no choice but to act according to prepared scripts or situations.
But this is too much of a twist.
Because of Siwoo’s pretty appearance, slightly upturned eyes, and his appearance of not being very warm to the members, negative words like cold and calculating always followed him. On top of that, who knew that Siwoo, who really only said exactly what was necessary on broadcasts and didn’t step forward much, would be such a klutz.
The moment the words “Right? Honey~” came out of Siwoo’s mouth as he urgently grabbed Evan’s forearm and pushed his face toward Evan who wouldn’t look at him, everyone’s mouths fell wide open.
Was that aegyo of Siwoo, which was said to be hard to see, everyday aegyo? Or was it limited to lovers?
“Ahem. Hmm……”
‘Are you sulking? No. Really honestly, it’s a fact that you’re handsome……’
‘Forget it. At least I’m lucky to have this face.’
‘You’re sulking.’
‘Coco, let’s film.’
‘Evanie.’
‘……’
‘Want to touch my chest later?’
Since it was outdoor filming, Siwoo’s small voice whispering to Evan didn’t reach the filming crew in front. However, the audio director who heard their voices clearly coughed and took off the headset they were wearing.
- Looking at what you said earlier, it seems you two have been lovers for a very long time. Is there a method unique to you two that allows you to be together for so long?
Coco: There are things we know without saying, and it was difficult before we dated, so I think it was more comfortable after we started dating. Evanie also takes good care of me.
Evan: Ah! Even if we fight, we sleep together?
Coco: That’s not what you’re talking about right now.
Evan: You said it was a method to be together for a long time? We definitely kept to that even if we didn’t keep to other things.
Coco: Rather than keeping to it, even if I slept in a different room, when I opened my eyes, you were next to me.
Evan: Yeah. So didn’t that resolve things?
Coco: ……It did;;;
The PD, who was continuing the interview where even if one person answered seriously, it soon turned into bickering full of just the two of them’s love, observed the atmosphere between the two.
- Now, the next question is…… This is a very sensitive part, and if you’re uncomfortable, you don’t have to answer. When news of your marriage spreads, this part will probably become quite an issue too, it’s related to traits. Kim Siwoo-ssi, I heard you recently received a military exemption from re-examination. Are you really an Omega?
Until now, the questions had been light, but it was on the questionnaire, and it was a question that Evan and Siwoo’s side didn’t request to be modified.
Evan: No Coco…….
Coco: That’s right.
Siwoo had hesitated when he saw the trait-related question on the questionnaire. They said this question could be removed according to Evan and Siwoo’s opinion, but for now, Siwoo had said to proceed according to the questionnaire they had prepared. Evan said they didn’t need to reveal it so they should remove the question itself, but Siwoo thought it would be okay to gloss over it appropriately and pass. Besides, since military exemption was involved, it was a part that couldn’t just be passed over.
The moment Evan tried to skip the question, Siwoo grabbed his forearm slightly and answered.
Coco: We can’t hide it forever. They’ll find out as time passes, and when would we do an interview like this again. I am an Omega, but it’s a somewhat unusual case. So there was a part that was difficult to talk about easily. The military exemption is also because of my trait.
Evan: ……Will you be okay?
Coco: What wouldn’t be okay. I’m just stating facts. The thing is, I’m an Omega, but I can’t sense Alpha pheromones. On top of that, I manifested late, and other people can’t smell my pheromones either. Uh…… it’s a bit like that, right?
He had decided to speak, and he had opened his mouth, but at the words pouring out incoherently, Siwoo hesitated and eventually lowered his head. It wasn’t his fault, but it felt like it was. If he did this, it was certain that words would follow saying he hid his trait and lured Evan while being active as an Ocean member with Alphas.
When they first started the interview, they had even said they’d been dating since the break after the first album, so sensational article titles passed through Siwoo’s head noisily.
Evan: Coco. If you explain it like that, it’s even stranger. I’ll explain simply. I’m a Golden Alpha, and Coco is a Hidden Omega. Golden Alphas aren’t well known either, but there will be almost no information about Hidden Omegas. Because of that, we also received medical help on this part and had a hard time. He’s an Omega, but he didn’t hide it and be active as Ocean. I’ll make that part clear. And at this point, it seems like Chan hyung and Yechan’s story will come up too, but those two didn’t know at all either. As Siwoo explained, those two can’t smell Siwoo’s pheromones. I don’t want rumors related to traits to get mixed into our marriage news, so I’ll only explain this much.
Since it wasn’t something to make excuses about in detail, Evan spoke briefly. People who are curious can find out for themselves. Though there will be too little information for that. And if they didn’t reveal the traits accurately, it was obvious that after this marriage became known, all kinds of speculations and rumors related to traits would circulate again. If they had children after marriage, there would be another uproar, so it was also a part that needed to be addressed accurately once.
- ……If you say Siwoo-ssi is an Omega, then second generation too??
At Evan and Siwoo’s answer, the PD who had been asking questions comfortably until now hesitated for a long time before bringing out words that weren’t even a proper sentence, and Evan and Siwoo laughed at the same time. It seemed like they were seeing in advance the reaction of people after this content was broadcast.
It was because not only the PD but also the filming team’s bewilderment was clearly visible. Siwoo, who burst into giggles like a child, couldn’t easily stop laughing. It was because he couldn’t hold back his laughter watching the faces of the filming team with expressions mixed with surprise and bewilderment.
And the fact that even the PD’s always firm way of speaking got muddled—when he thought of other people who would encounter this through the media, considering it made even those who were close to him like this, he couldn’t control the strange emotion.
He tried to smooth over the awkwardness and anxiety hidden in the strange emotion with loud laughter.
Whether Evan felt these emotions of his, at his action of putting his arm around his shoulder and pulling him more into his embrace and kissing his forehead, Siwoo raised his hand and covered his face.
Evan: Probably?
At Evan’s words, silence descended once again.
- ……Then…… then…… son?? Daughter??
The interview that had been continuing very comfortably and leisurely seemed to have gotten tangled up messily. It was ironic that it wasn’t those answering who were flustered but the questioner, but now the PD asked something that wasn’t even on the questionnaire. Rather than asking, it was safe to say they brought out words that came to mind from their confused head.
Evan: I don’t care. As long as I have Coco.
Coco: Let’s move on to the next question.
Siwoo, who had buried his face in Evan’s embrace, coughed unnecessarily and straightened his body, then spoke with a forced smile. Since it was an interview that had completely deviated from the questionnaire, it seemed better to cut it off appropriately. Since they would edit out any problematic parts on their own, if he said this, this question would probably be edited out.
Evan: Ah…… Regardless of gender or trait, I hope they resemble Coco.
Coco: What are you saying! Why would they resemble me? They should resemble you.
Siwoo, who had been trying to gloss over it vaguely, slightly moved his body to the opposite side away from Evan at his touch that finally answered while tapping his cheek.
After the proposal that was smoothed over strangely somehow, as if to keep the words he had said, Evan committed the outrageous act of completely throwing away the condoms that had been at home. At Siwoo’s words asking if he was serious, Evan shrugged, and Siwoo didn’t bring up anything more either.
Because just like he had thought about marriage, after accepting that he was an Omega, he had also thought about a child that resembled Evan exactly.
Evan: Huh? Why resemble me. A cute child with lots of aegyo who resembles you is good.
Coco: They should resemble you. Pretty.
The camera director filming the two who, after making a tremendous announcement, were bickering again as if it was no big deal, turned their head at the whispering sound from the side. The sound director, who wasn’t even wearing the headset properly but just roughly hanging it on one side, stood crookedly with arms crossed.
Behind that, the writer team gathered on one side was whispering.
“Hidden Omega…… There’s no information?”
After Evan and Siwoo said those words, the writer team was frantically searching for information about Hidden Omegas.
“Does it really exist?”
“It’s academically possible.”
In front, Siwoo and Evan were whispering lovey-dovey in their own world, and on the opposite side, the writer team was all looking at their phones with serious expressions.
- ……But what is a Hidden Omega?
The writer team that had been whispering for a while eventually conveyed the fact that there was no information to the PD, and the PD had to ask a question that wasn’t on the questionnaire to the two who were playing around cheerfully.
Evan: Our Coco.
Coco: Hey~ That’s not what they’re asking.
The interview that continued for over three hours had many twists and turns but also ended in a harmonious atmosphere as expected.
“Is there any content from today’s interview that you definitely want us to cut out?”
The PD, who glanced at Siwoo guiding them inside saying dinner was prepared for the filming team, first asked Evan who approached their side.
“No. Just edit it honestly to look good and air it. Including that Siwoo is a Hidden Omega. It’s better to be noisy once. I don’t want to keep hearing useless noise. And the broadcast date is definitely after our marriage, right?”
“I’m not a god, do you think editing is done in just a day or two?”
At the PD’s words, an indescribable smile settled deeply on Evan’s face.
