Outsiders wouldn’t know, but Wonyoung’s house building had a back door. It was possible because it was an old house. Wonyoung, who had entered the house, closed the front door and slipped out through the back door, waiting for the culprit in a corner.
And the culprit, who really appeared by a hair’s breadth, stopped in front of the closed door. Wonyoung sent a text report to 112 and picked up the heaviest trash bag among those scattered around.
‘Strike when they’re off guard… Now!’
That was when it happened. Just as Wonyoung was about to charge, suddenly the stalker grabbed the wall and lightly stepped on a brick. What followed was instantaneous. Perhaps thanks to his uselessly long legs, he easily climbed over the wall, and by the time Wonyoung came to his senses, he was already beyond the wall. Flustered, Wonyoung just stood there holding the trash bag in a daze.
‘No no no, wait! Why are you going into my house? Isn’t this really a crazy stalker?’
His heart racing, Wonyoung snapped to his senses and flung open the front gate. The stalker wearing a hat, who had been trying to open the front door, turned around in surprise at the sound of Wonyoung appearing. Wonyoung immediately hurled the trash bag at him.
“You stalker bastard… Huk!”
Wonyoung momentarily stopped in shock when he confirmed who it was, but the trash bag had already been thrown.
Thwack! The trash bag Wonyoung threw hit its target and scattered trash fluttered through the air. As if someone had put a pillow in it, white feathers were falling down in a shower.
And in the middle of it all, like an angel who had mistakenly descended to earth, a peerlessly handsome man with his hat knocked off was looking at Wonyoung in surprise.
…It was none other than Baek Heegang.
“…Baek Heegang?”
Even seeing Heegang, Wonyoung couldn’t quite believe it and asked back like that. Heegang looked at Wonyoung and smiled brightly.
“I wondered if I might have been caught, and it’s true.”
At those words, Wonyoung got goosebumps. All that talk about this man being a good person was cancelled. This man was a crazy psycho and even a stalker bastard.
“Ah, as expected, I knew you’d find out, Rae.”
Find out what, you crazy person? Wonyoung opened his mouth, half wanting to pick a fight and half thinking this stalker bastard was really scary.
“What’s going on? Why…”
“Hm? Why what?”
“Why were you secretly following me?”
What was with that innocent expression?
When Wonyoung frowned in disbelief, Heegang’s eyes widened in confusion.
“Rae, are you angry?”
“Well, of course I’m ang… not quite, but I’m a bit surprised.”
Wonyoung quickly changed his words, conscious of the warnings. He wanted to avoid Lucky Pervert in this kind of atmosphere.
“Sorry. We used to play pranks like this a lot when we were kids, remember?”
“…Pranks?”
A prank, was he calling that a prank? When they were kids it would have been hide-and-seek at most!
Momentarily flaring up, Wonyoung exclaimed without realizing it.
“I… I was so scared thinking you were a weird sasaeng fan or a member of some organization or a minion sent by a chaebol family…!”
“Really? You were? How cute.”
Heegang looked at Wonyoung as if he found him genuinely adorable to death. Wonyoung was flustered for a moment and fumbled.
“It’s not cu… te, I think.”
Then he shook off the Narae that had formed within him and spoke again.
“This isn’t called a prank. Why were you following someone around? Because of you, I even reported… Ah, right. The police!”
No sooner had he spoken than the siren of a police car could be heard in the distance. Wonyoung held his head in both hands. To become a false reporter like this…
“What should I say to the police? I can’t say it was a prank. F-first, I should apologize and…”
“Why would you apologize?”
At those words, Wonyoung thought at least Heegang knew this was his responsibility, but that was a misconception.
Heegang reached out, took Wonyoung’s hand, and said.
“You don’t need to apologize or bow your head. No matter who it is.”
“…”
“To me, you’re a divine existence. No, you are a god.”
At that moment, the wind blew and the settled feathers fluttered. It was a scene like watching a reverent priest. Wonyoung exploded.
“Ugh, stop it, you crazy person!”
That applied both to the game adding effects even in this situation and to Heegang who still hadn’t come to his senses.
And naturally, Wonyoung received another warning, making his accumulated warnings 3.
[Penalty Level 1 ‘Lucky Pervert’ will be activated.]
“Huk…!”
Wonyoung momentarily staggered and fell toward Heegang. And as luck would have it, as Heegang tried to catch Wonyoung, he stepped back and stepped on the scattered trash, falling backward.
When Wonyoung came to his senses, he was mounted on top of Heegang’s body, and Heegang’s top had ridden up, exposing his abs.
“Aaaaah!”
“Aah!”
As Wonyoung screamed, another scream was heard. When he turned his head, he saw surprised police officers.
‘Fuck, it might be better to just die.’
Wonyoung smiled bitterly and muttered to himself. Soon, one of the police officers approached with a bright red face and shouted. The other one turned around as if he’d seen something he shouldn’t have.
“Wh-what are you doing in a place like this! Stop immediately! If you continue, we’ll arrest you for public indecency!”
“We’re not doing anything! I fell!”
Wonyoung screamed desperately and tried to get up quickly, but Heegang grabbed Wonyoung’s waist.
“Rae, why are you so thin?”
“Is that what you want to ask right now?! Move your hands, let me get up!”
“Why? I’m fine with this as is. Except for you being thin.”
“No, is there such a crazy person… I don’t want to be sitting on top of you. Don’t you see the police officers!”
Warnings were piling up like crazy, but Wonyoung absolutely couldn’t contain his anger. He delivered a soft punch to Heegang’s well-formed abs and only then was released and got up from his position. In reality, Heegang had let him go, but it wasn’t his concern.
And as soon as he got up, the game’s hammer fell on Wonyoung who had gotten angry arbitrarily.
[A penalty is given for 6 warnings.]
[Penalty Level 2 ‘Random Status’ will be activated.]
[Due to penalty application, status has become ‘Extreme Fear’.]
[Status: So scaryε=ε=ε=┏(゜ロ゜;)┛]
“Heu…!”
Wonyoung, who had entered the Extreme Fear status, suddenly flinched and trembled, then quickly hid behind Heegang who had just gotten up. The police officers before his eyes were now scarier than anything else in the world.
“Excuse me, are you the one who reported? You said there was an illegal intruder.”
“…Uu.”
‘Damn it.’
Wonyoung wanted to make a proper sound, but couldn’t because of fear. Still, hiding behind Baek Heegang, what was that about? Such a weak guy.
Of course, Heegang was extremely satisfied. He said with an utterly pleased face.
“It was a mistaken report. There seems to have been a misunderstanding, so please go back.”
“…By any chance, are you actor Baek Heegang-ssi?”
“Baek Heegang?”
The police officers who recognized Heegang showed surprised expressions. Wonyoung wanted to do something, but because of his fear status, hiding behind Heegang was the best he could do. The fact that he didn’t run away immediately could be called tremendous mental strength.
“It really is him…”
The police officers, certain of Heegang’s identity, soon looked suspiciously at Wonyoung hiding behind him and said to Heegang.
“Are you perhaps being stalked…”
“Punishment is also possible if you wish.”
“No.”
Heegang shook his head immediately. Rather, his expression was displeased as if asking why they would treat this person that way. But the police officers who didn’t notice that continued to persuade Heegang.
“If you’re worried it might become an article, we’ll try to handle it as well as possible. Unconditionally hiding everything isn’t the answer.”
“That’s right. Just because you’re a public figure doesn’t mean you have to endure everything.”
They were good police officers of this era, but unfortunately, they were unlucky. Because they had encountered a psychopath of this era.
“Ah, we’re not communicating well.”
Heegang put his hand in his pocket with an indifferent face. Even in the midst of fear, Wonyoung, sensing something ominous, watched that direction, and sure enough, he could see a wrench coming out that had no reason to be there.
“Heu, hiik!”
Instead of words, Wonyoung screamed and shoved the wrench back into the pocket. Heegang looked back slightly and whispered.
“Since they saw your face, Rae, wouldn’t it be better to deal with them?”
“Hiiik!”
Wonyoung swallowed and shook his head. This seemed a bit like real fear.
“Mm… No. There are only two of them still, so if I quickly deal with them…”
How has this person lived until now in this nation of law? Wonyoung felt a fundamental question and desperately restrained Heegang. From the outside, it looked like he was hugging Heegang tightly.
Heegang looked down at Wonyoung lovingly, then told the police officers.
“As you can see, we’re in this kind of relationship.”
“Pardon?”
“This person here isn’t some stalker of mine, but my lover. And strictly speaking, the one doing the stalking is me.”
The police officers made an expression similar to the one Wonyoung makes when looking at Heegang. That expression of ‘what are you talking about right now?’
“Well, since you mentioned keeping things secret earlier, I trust you’ll keep this part secret too. Even if you don’t want to, that’s how it will be.”
“…”
“Then please go back.”
“No, excuse me…”
One police officer tried to say something, but the other police officer stopped him.
“Let’s just go. We’re busy.”
“…”
The police officers looked disapprovingly at Wonyoung and Heegang stuck together like a pair of cockroaches, then turned around. Of course, after leaving a warning that false reports receive legal punishment.
After the police officers left, only then did Wonyoung’s fear status lift. He quickly separated from Heegang as if nothing had happened.
“Baek Heegang!”
“?”
What lover, you’re crazy, who’s whose lover! Wonyoung was about to say that, but before that, choice options appeared first.
