It’s Rough Being an Adult Trapped in a High School Romance 11

It wasn't a particularly big problem — that on his very first day of work as a teacher, he got hit by a car in place of a student, and ended up possessing the body of an extra inside a high school romance manhwa.

The goal was simple: return the body to its young owner, and since he himself was already dead, not get greedy — just pass on peacefully.

Or so it should have been.

The problem was the nonsensical omegaverse setting, and the fact that the body he possessed — that of Seo Cha-heun, a beta — had been releasing omega pheromones, drawing men, and underage ones at that, swarming toward him.

Alpha, omega — what did any of that even matter, that men were going around confessing to other men? And on top of that, the confessions coming from minors were no different from a death sentence. Cha-heun had no choice but to escape by any means necessary.

"Hyuung, go out with me, okay? I'll really treat you well."

"Even if you handed me your entire fortune, that would be a problem for me."

"…Then what if I threw myself in on top of the entire fortune?"

He'd turned him down indirectly, only to be overwhelmed by the audacity of an active high school student who offered to throw himself in on top of his entire fortune.

"Hyung, but do you really have no intention of getting a partner? I'm genuinely confident I'd be good at it."

"…Good at what, exactly. What."

"Well, whatever you want me to do. I can act cute, I can do tricks. I can make things insanely, incredibly fun. Is a younger guy not your thing?"

Cha-heun, thoroughly wrecked by a minor's blazing flirting, felt like he might develop a stomach ulcer out of nowhere…

"…I think it'd hurt less if hyung blew on it. Hooo."

Seeing him spout that kind of nonsense, Cha-heun thought he was clearly in perfectly fine shape — but then the boy went and pulled something resembling aegyo with that face of his, and somehow it landed, just a little.

…Age really is something else….

Anyway. Cha-heun let out a sigh and leaned his face in slightly, blowing a gentle breath of air — and in that moment, Baek Yu-gyeong turned his head, not missing the gap his face had opened up as it drew close.

Yu-gyeong, who had been at a distance where their breath barely grazed each other's skin, grabbed Cha-heun's cheek just like that and pressed his lips to the opposite cheek.

…Well, he'd had his cheek stolen by a man again, but it was fine. To be precise, wasn't it not a man, but a man-boy?

Besides, that was just a little peck, barely even a touch — wasn't it nothing more than a minor's expression of affection?

The moment he met Baek Yu-gyeong's eyes, Cha-heun grasped reality, shoved him away, and bolted — frantically throwing open the door of the nurse's office and fleeing.

Ah, right. Baek Yu-gyeong hit his head hard and his mind is just a little out of it for a moment.

…Come to think of it, the one whose mind was out of it wasn't Baek Yu-gyeong — it was himself. Hadn't he nearly crossed a river he absolutely could not cross with a minor?

No, it's fine. It's fine. That was a peck, not a kiss.

…A kiss?

That seriously could've gone to absolute hell, couldn't it?

To be honest, it had been a moment where his life nearly shattered into pieces. Looking back, it made his head spin. Just a slight tilt a moment ago, and his lips would have been stolen.

The bigger problem than the fact that he was a man was that this was a minor. It was horrifying, but if it came down to it, he'd rather do it with a fully grown man than—

…No, actually, he'd sooner just die than kiss a fully grown man.

He'd arrived at that conclusion for the time being, but either way, even if a minor came throwing themselves at him, the adult absolutely had to fight tooth and nail to escape. That was simply the right thing to do.

At this rate, Baek Yu-gyeong was clearly running some kind of advanced assassination scheme.
