Idol of the Heavenly One - Chapter 78.1
People were really funny. Just a moment ago, he was told to hold back, but now that I saw him being careful, I felt a little disappointed. Still, when we got back to the dorm, we held hands, kissed, and did everything else, so… it was fine.
— Jae-heon, I-rip is the team leader, and we’ll pick members one by one with rock-paper-scissors. Rock, paper, scissors!
“Lee Soonbok.”
“ISUNE.”
“ISUNE.”
Once I started noticing this, it kept bothering me. During the 3-on-3 sports event for the Jacon shoot, if it were the usual Baek Jae-heon, he would have immediately called my name after winning rock-paper-scissors. But this time, he glanced at me once and chose Lee Soonbok instead.
Joo I-rip giggled and immediately picked me, so Baek Jae-heon and I ended up on different teams. This had never happened before. Whenever we played team games, I was always with Baek Jae-heon. I felt an inexplicable sting of disappointment.
— Team names will be Tall Guys versus Short Guys.
“We’re not exactly short guys.”
“Isn’t Hee-min hyung a short guy?”
“Hey.”
Haha. I heard Baek Jae-heon laughing. I looked over and saw him enjoying himself with Go Hee-min and Kwon Ji-hak. Was that funny?
Normally, I would have been the one laughing while Baek Jae-heon looked at me like that.
— The first game is tag. A king is chosen, and the two people in front protect the king from the tail.
The game started. We decided who would be king. I suggested that the most doll-like Go Hee-min should be king, but Joo I-rip said the game would end in three seconds if that happened. When I told him to do it himself, he said the defenders would be too weak and it would still end in one second. I felt annoyed, as if Go Hee-min and I were being grouped together as weak members. In the end, I became the king.
— Short Guys’ king is Chunmyung, Tall Guys’ king is Ji-hak.
As expected, Kwon Ji-hak became the tail on the opposing team. But isn’t the size difference too extreme? At the front was Baek Jae-heon, in the middle was Lee Soonbok, and the tail was the largest, Kwon Ji-hak. Their sizes were all big and sturdy.
“Jae-heon hyung! Don’t hold back!”
“Play properly!”
Just before the game started, Kwon Ji-hak and Lee Soonbok shouted at Baek Jae-heon. I almost burst out laughing. Only the person at the very front, leading the team, could attack. Since that person was Baek Jae-heon, they were worried he might go easy on me, the king. Baek Jae-heon didn’t reply and prepared his stance, and I wondered if he would go easy on me.
— Tall Guys win!
However, Baek Jae-heon didn’t go easy at all. He easily and ruthlessly tore my tail off.
“……”
Honestly, I expected him to go easy. Isn’t that too much given the size difference?
— The second game is volleyball.
And after that, Baek Jae-heon didn’t hold back either.
“Wow! Jae-heon hyung!”
“Baek, Baek Jae-heon, amazing!”
Using his height advantage, he spiked, blocked, and stretched his long legs to intercept. He even targeted our weak defense on my side and Go Hee-min’s side. In the end, the score was 25:12.
“Ah PD-nim, being tall is definitely an advantage!”
— The team was picked by I-rip, right?
“Well, then you can’t complain.”
Joo I-rip, looking utterly aggrieved, went up to the camera and jokingly argued with the PD. The staff burst out laughing, and the members sat down, laughing hysterically.
“Ha ha.”
I heard Baek Jae-heon’s quiet laughter too. When I looked at him, he was sitting on the floor, brushing his hair back and smiling happily. Was that fun for him?
— The final game is dodgeball.
Finally, the last match. I felt unusually drained today and just wanted to finish filming and go back to the dorm. Back to the dorm…
Anyway, I hoped it would end soon. I tried my best, dodging and passing, but it wasn’t enough to beat Baek Jae-heon’s team. They had two dancers, while we had two doll-like members. It was 8:5. The game was tied at 10 points, and if they scored two more, our team would lose completely.
