Idol of the Heavenly One - Chapter 80.1
I immediately understood what Baek Jae-heon’s whispered words meant. He probably wanted to take things further than just kissing. Honestly, both he and I, being men, often got worked up while kissing. Still, we never crossed that line, probably because we were in the middle of our activities.
And even now, we are actively promoting.
“No, after the promotions end.”
“…Yeah.”
“Okay.”
“…Mm.”
Also, Baek Jae-heon’s face was the type that would faint after just a few touches, so even if we tried, it wouldn’t happen. He smiled faintly at my words, then slowly closed his eyes again.
“….”
I stopped walking back to my bed and sat again beside him. Watching Baek Jae-heon’s sleeping face, I found myself thinking how beautiful he was. How could someone be so delicate and handsome?
Moments like this made me realize new things about myself.
I am weak in the face. I crave affection a lot. Maybe it’s because I’m experiencing love for the first time from someone else. Anyway, these days I keep discovering new things about myself.
And I don’t dislike it. I am curious, worried, and excited about what other sides of myself will appear.
As much as I am curious about myself, I am curious about Baek Jae-heon too. What kind of future will we draw together, and how much cooler will he become?
“Have a good dream.”
Maybe it was some kind of magic, because the next day Baek Jae-heon woke up completely refreshed, even more energetic than usual. Normally, even if the studio cameras were on, he would sit indifferent or just tap the table with his fingers playfully. But today was different.
“Did you see the chain on today’s outfit?”
When Baek Jae-heon spoke to the camera, all of us, including me, widened our eyes in surprise. He was talking about the outfit first, which was unusual. Even among ourselves, we hadn’t seen this side of him before.
“The chains on my and Myeong-hyeon’s outfits are supposed to come with a lock and key as a pair. But we separated them and wore them like this.”
However, his next words clearly revealed his intention, and the members immediately lost interest with looks that said, ‘Here we go again.’
I also turned my attention away.
Later, the company suggested that only Baek Jae-heon and I shoot a new song challenge together. So we set up in a corner of the hallway for the rehearsal and some playful shots. Then an idea popped into my head.
“The fans call me Eros, right?”
“Yeah.”
“After the last choreography, if I pretend to shoot an arrow at you, you could press your hands to your chest like it hit perfectly and make a face like you’re in love. How about that?”
Even explaining it made me laugh. I wasn’t sure if Baek Jae-heon would go along with such a joke, but if he did, it would be hilarious.
“Do whatever you want.”
I thought he would hesitate, but he agreed immediately in that typically indifferent, low voice. The act itself felt strangely ticklish.
So we filmed the challenge as I suggested. After the final choreography, I made the arrow gesture, and Baek Jae-heon really pressed his hands to his chest and looked at me with a lovestruck expression.
Watching the footage, I froze for a moment. It reminded me of something Baek Jae-heon had joked about recently.
‘Then am I Psyche?’
Hearing that in my head made the screen feel overly suggestive. Eros and Psyche.
I looked away awkwardly and scratched the back of my neck. I wondered if the fans would like it.
They loved it. After posting, hashtags like ‘Eros Psyche,’ ‘Ji Myeong-hyeon Baek Jae-heon Challenge,’ and ‘Two guys are too…’ exploded on social media that day.
***
[Well-wishes] Eros’ blessing is endless. Now Baek and Cheon are no longer hiding. We decided to call this love.

After watching today’s video call and challenge video, I couldn’t contain my amazement.
