Chapter 90
A youthful man radiating a black aura.
Though he’d pulled his hat down low, it fell short of concealing his face entirely.
‘Roha from Kerje?!’
Connect Zero—a male idol group riding high on the wave of popularity.
Despite every member being strikingly handsome, they’d endured relentless criticism for their shabby styling and concepts until the perfect convergence of song, coordination, and image sent them skyrocketing like a rocket.
Among them, Roha commanded even greater affection through his low self-esteem and humble demeanor, which contrasted sharply with his beautiful face and commanding stage presence.
It made one want to protect him.
‘Wow. The real thing is absolutely insane. Now I understand why they call him a gloomy pretty boy.’
He was approaching.
The moment Lee Yu-na spotted Roha, she stumbled backward behind me in panic.
“Ahhh! No, no, don’t come closer! How did you follow me here?! Older Sister, don’t be fooled by that face! He’s a complete psycho!”
Hmm.
I found myself intensely curious about what kind of psychotic tendencies lurked beneath that face.
Roha was slightly shorter than me.
Probably around 176 centimeters.
“Is this your new bodyguard? Would you mind stepping aside for a moment? I came to talk to Yu-na.”
His voice was soft and melancholic, yet remarkably courteous.
Lee Yu-na threw a fit.
“N-no, no, no! Don’t come near! Aren’t you scared of Baek Hee-an? He said he wouldn’t let you off easy!”
“That’s a lie. He finds you annoying anyway. That’s why you moved, right?”
“Ahhh! Older Sister!”
Snap.
I caught the hand extending toward Lee Yu-na.
As I yanked him forward, Roha’s eyes widened to the size of lanterns as he looked up at me.
“…!”
Damn, he’s beautiful.
He struggled desperately to break free from my grip, but it was futile.
After all, even Hwang Beom-young had buckled under this strength.
“W-what kind of strength is this….”
“You’re Roha from Connect Zero, right? You’re much more handsome in person.”
A flustered expression crossed his face.
Roha in the flesh was far more beautiful and possessed a much darker aura than what I’d seen on YouTube.
He was beautiful in a way that seemed drawn with ink—dark and pallid.
“Y-you shouldn’t be deceived….”
Lee Yu-na muttered something from behind my back, but I couldn’t quite make it out.
Pale cheeks, eyes glistening as though perpetually moist, an expression fragile enough to shatter at any moment, and doll-like, surreal features that were simultaneously melancholic and unreal.
The moment this face graced the stage, it emanated an obsessive, decadent beauty.
‘A stalker with a face like this.’
Though seeing such a startled, withdrawn expression would naturally cloud anyone’s judgment at least once.
That was when Lee Yu-na’s voice pressed into my ears.
“He found out my rooming house password and snuck in, changed his phone number so he calls dozens of times a day from unknown numbers, contacted all my friends, screenshots photos of me with men and sends them asking who I’m meeting, suddenly shows up casually with coffee, and when I told the police, he kept saying he’d kill himself if I kept doing this….”
It was content that made me doubt my own ears.
‘He’s completely insane?’
Kerje’s latest album had an obsessive decadent concept, but in reality, he was the one playing out obsessive deterioration in real life.
I clicked my tongue and spoke.
“Tsk. You heard that, right? Yu-na says she’s been suffering a lot because of Roha.”
“….”
Eyes of pure innocence, as if asking what the problem was.
‘Wow.’
He had absolutely no self-awareness.
Seeing him in person, I immediately understood why Lee Yu-na had to bring in Baek Hee-an specifically.
The other person was far too famous.
‘Plus, he’s so quiet that he doesn’t even look that dangerous.’
As a successful celebrity and fellow idol, their schedules overlapped frequently, making it difficult to shake him off by ordinary means.
‘They’re under the same agency. Does the agency not know?’
I was pondering how to handle this.
Roha looked at me prettily with dark, starlit eyes.
“Let go of me.”
Cute.
But you can’t be fooled.
The other person was a stalker completely unaware of how dangerous and unpleasant his actions were.
“Why do you keep following her? She clearly hates it.”
“We’re not an ordinary relationship.”
“That’s probably just what you think, but this is stalking and a crime no matter how you look at it.”
“A crime… you say….”
I felt anger in Roha’s eyes as he looked up at me.
‘What’s this?’
Unable to grasp the situation, he was getting angry instead.
I gripped his arm and pulled.
“Ugh.”
As the distance closed until our breaths nearly touched, Roha’s shoulders suddenly hunched.
“Th, this….”
His face went pale with fear.
He tried struggling to break free, but that was hardly possible.
“Let go, huh?!”
Thud.
Roha’s back hit the cold concrete pillar of the parking lot.
“!”
Frozen and helpless against my strength, he looked as dangerously decadent as the album concept itself.
‘These celebrities are absolutely insane.’
They show no mercy when it comes to attacking someone’s face.
Roha’s image kept making my resolve waver, but with Lee Yu-na trembling in fear behind me, I figured I had to do what needed to be done.
“Hey, let’s date.”
“?!”
At my sudden confession attack, the color drained from Roha’s face as he looked up at me.
“Th, that’s….”
“You and me, starting today we’re a couple.”
“?!!”
He looked like he couldn’t breathe just hearing it—apparently he found it that repulsive.
All the better.
“Why? Don’t you like it? Isn’t this exactly what you’ve been doing to Lee Yu-na?”
“…!”
His face went slack with shock.
Whether he likes it or dislikes it doesn’t matter to me—I chase after what I want to chase, and I act like I’m dating whoever I want to date.
That’s stalking.
Roha’s eyes wavered as some understanding seemed to dawn on him.
“You say you don’t like it, yet you keep following her around. You’re even taller than her—imagine how terrified Lee Yu-na must have been. If you keep stalking her….”
I lowered my head deeper and whispered intimately into Roha’s ear.
“I’ll stalk you?”
“!!!”
Flinch.
Whatever thought crossed his mind, Roha’s face turned crimson.
‘He’s going to cry, he’s definitely going to cry.’
When a guy’s face is that handsome, everything becomes entertaining.
Frozen like a mouse coiled in a serpent’s grip, his helpless expression matched this concept perfectly, stirring up all sorts of amusing feelings.
‘Truly Kerje’s most popular member.’
I hope that based on this terrible experience, he’ll better embody that decadent concept of obsessing over an imaginary woman.
I’ll end this self-serving bodyguard act for Lee Yu-na here.
“Warned you.”
I was pleased that my criminal-looking face and strength had imparted some profound wisdom, though I wasn’t sure if it would actually make Roha stop what he was doing.
“….”
As I slowly released him and stepped back, the crimson-faced Roha glanced at Lee Yu-na.
Lee Yu-na startled and quickly hid behind me.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes, yes! Yes, Older Sister!”
Lee Yu-na swiftly opened the car door as if she’d been waiting for this moment.
I sat in the passenger seat and pulled out my phone.
‘The recording came through perfectly.’
Just in case, I’d recorded our entire conversation so I could understand the context, and saved it to the cloud.
Lee Yu-na, sitting in the driver’s seat, immediately started the car.
I glanced behind us through the side mirror.
“Um, Older Sister, do you like him? He’s famous and all, but he’s such a lunatic that I feel like you’re wasting yourself on him…”
How beautifully she put that.
“Of course not.”
His face was genuinely a work of art.
But one handsome lunatic—Baek Hee-an—is more than enough for my life right now.
‘Now that I think about it, what Baek Hee-an has done to me is practically stalking too. But I’ve never really felt like it was a crime. Why is that?’
I pondered the difference and arrived at a simple conclusion.
‘He pays well.’
Whether it was offering to buy me hotel meals or luring me to Heaven Station by suggesting we go to his place.
There was never anything forced about it.
Even though I disliked him so much, Baek Hee-an always managed to draw out my consent and voluntary participation.
“What if that lunatic tries to retaliate against you?”
“Then I’ll just date him by force.”
“Eek! Why would you date such a lunatic! You’re too good for that! Oh wait, you wouldn’t want to date a stalker anyway, so you’re doing this for me, right?”
“Of course. I don’t want to date him, but I’m dating him for your sake.”
Honestly, his face is my type anyway.
Lee Yu-na laughed.
“Ahahaha! Ah. I suddenly feel so relieved. Ha. Thank you so much for helping me today.”
Seeing Lee Yu-na’s face as she genuinely took my side and thanked me, my shoulders lifted slightly with satisfaction.
“Don’t mention it.”
I felt good that we seemed to have grown closer through this.
Whether it was because of Baek Hee-an or whatever, I really liked how Lee Yu-na clung to me with all sorts of aegyo, insisting that she wanted to get closer to me.
“But if you pretended to date him to shake off the stalker, what was Baek Hee-an doing? He couldn’t even get rid of that one guy.”
“Your Older Brother told you that?! You two are really close!”
The secret had leaked.
Given the circumstances, Lee Yu-na didn’t seem bothered at all.
“A stalker is a stalker for a reason. Your Older Brother goes on overseas missions all the time, right? But that guy figured out it was fake almost from the beginning. And then he cleverly pretended to be fooled. Damn.”
He really is cunning.
“I didn’t know any of that and kept pretending to date your Older Brother, and suffered terribly while he was gone.”
“So what exactly did Baek Hee-an do?”
“Well… actually, your Older Brother was busy dealing with some female Hunter…”
That’s definitely Jeong Hee-ji.
“It seems I wasn’t much help with that. But that lunatic Roha somehow manages to avoid your Older Brother like a ghost. With things being that way, I just needed your Older Brother so badly…”
So she had been clinging to Baek Hee-an, even moving in, just to be close to him unilaterally.
‘Ah, this is fun.’
Backstories from the Entertainment Industry and Hunter Community that I could never hear anywhere else were seeping into my daily life.
I couldn’t believe it.
‘How did such a successful male idol become a stalker anyway? Why doesn’t he just hook up with his own sasaeng fan instead of stalking some innocent female idol?’
Crazy people should stick with crazy people—that’s how the world becomes beautiful.
“If you need anything, call me instead of Baek Hee-an.”
“Yes!”
“I’m better than Baek Hee-an, aren’t I?”
“A hundred times better! A hundred times? A thousand times is more like it!”
Heh heh.
My mood soared.
My strength was bursting, my leg was fixed, and my coins were fully charged.
I had nothing to fear.
