Idol of the Heavenly One - Chapter 123.2
That was why we had to be even more careful. Was it just about avoiding the kind of whispering Lee Soonbok faced? No, it wasn’t just that. If it were discovered that Baek Jae-heon and I were in a serious relationship, Lee Soonbok would end up facing even worse insults and louder whispers. It was obvious people would say, “He’s the one who dragged them into it.” Not only that, but the same went for the other members. They would surely be pointed at for knowing about it and continuing to promote together.
In this day and age, why would people point fingers for something like that? Wouldn’t fans actually like it more? I thought that, but the profession of an idol couldn’t last long by targeting only one specific audience. We had to keep possibilities open in many directions, and to do that, regardless of whether we were gay or not, or whether it was with a fellow member or not, we shouldn’t be “dating” at all. Usually, an idol’s lifespan is limited to seven years. It was an age where it wouldn’t be too late to take a different path afterward, but to do that, those seven years had to be spent well. Without rumors, without controversy.
But I couldn’t give up on Baek Jae-heon. My heart fluttered and I felt so good every time I looked at him. Even when we lay tangled together watching OTT content when we had no schedule, even when we walked along the Han River together while heavily disguised without being able to hold hands once, and even when we just stared at each other’s faces in silence on the way back to the dorm after a schedule. I liked him so much that sometimes I couldn’t believe he was my lover. But at the same time, I loved the work I was doing now just as much. Standing on stage, meeting fans, and being loved.
Others might say I live too calculating, but I didn’t want to live this second life aimlessly, just going with the flow like I did before. Furthermore, since I had become a celebrity, I wanted to live a full life even more, without regrets. I wanted to live it to the fullest without missing a single thing. That’s right. This is all my greed. The greed of not wanting to lose love while also wanting to live without rumors.
That was why I had to pay attention.

Red-haired Ji Myeong-hyeon is the real deal… and his Prince Charming, Baek Jae-heon.
I mean, he told the MINITs to come and save the prince; but it’s absurd that Ji Myeong-hyeon’s own prince is Baek Jae-heon; well, go ahead and do that;;; we like it ㅎㅎ

Seriously, watching this stage, I couldn’t get a sense of just how much money these CZ bastards want to make. Especially this choreography with the extended arms, overlapping hands, and the wave—I felt something rising that wasn’t even there;;;
We were doing so well until then!!! You guys loved each other!!!!!
But after this ended, the youngest…
“Everyone, you caught all that, right? Baek-Cheon?”
After this comment, Ji Myeong-hyeon just broke down ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Even when Baek Jae-heon made cat ears behind him secretly, he kept a straight face, and he kept it until they went backstage… When he changed outfits and sang EXIT, he opened his “good boy” eyes and did well on stage, but after that, there was absolutely no fan service.
Even if Baek Jae-heon just went near him, he kept a straight face and ran away. (Of course, it felt like he was just moving according to the formation, but in my eyes, he looked like a runaway-uke.)
Did he break down because of the >>Baek-Cheon<< comment? ㅠㅠㅠ Does he hate being caught? We love it ㅠ Please get caught by us, Myeong-hyeon, please ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ We’re really okay with it ㅠㅠ

-GoguryeoSillaBaekJaeheon: Someone please shut Jihak’s mouth. Our kid is surprisingly conservative, so every time he hears stuff like that, he noticeably breaks down. He noticeably avoids Baek Jae-heon!!!!!!
ㄴGogumaSinsaBaekJaeheon: But Baek Jae-heon is a true obsessive-top; even when he’s being avoided like that, he just smirks. As if Ji Myeong-hyeon acting like that is cute… Truly a strange and beautiful couple.
-MyLifeIsOver: The really cute thing about Ji Myeong-hyeon. He probably thinks, “If I stay away for a few days like this, they won’t suspect us anymore, right?” and then he starts hanging around him again. He’s such a dummy cat ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴYuanMujeMuanYuje: This is confidential info, what if you leak it!!!
-SoSickOfIt: Ji Myeong-hyeon is so f~~~ing conscious of Baek-Cheon, seriously ㅋㅋ Is he doing that on purpose?
