Yunyu was walking back to his dorm late at night. He checked his watch and was relieved when he realized it was not too late. Thankfully, he still had thirty minutes before his shift ends.
He checked his phone to check the missed calls. There were seven calls from his boss because he missed work again, and then a text telling him that he got laid off. Yunyu pocketed his phone and sighed, "Aish, that devil make me unemployed now. He should have paid me for accompanying him in that smoking room. Seriously, how could he smoke so many cigars every day? It's bad for your lung!"
"Don't you think so, Pupa?" Yunyu asked. He waited for Pupa to materialize and started giving his snarky comment. But strangely, there was no snarky comment at all coming from Pupa because that floating orange thing hadn't appeared since Yunyu opened his eyes.
"Pupa?" Yunyu called again. At first, he didn't think much about it. Because Pupa usually returned back to headquarter to watch some Sailor Moon or other magical girls, it is Pupa's new hobby.
Yunyu had something in mind, this was the magic words that would definitely bring Pupa back, "Ahh! Pupa, help me, I'm going to get mauled by some wild dogs! Do you want to see me getting killed here?!"
      '¦
"Huh, strange," Yunyu frowned. Usually, Pupa would appear immediately whenever he was about to get killed. Not to help, of course. Pupa usually watched with cold blood while preparing for the restart as always. At this point, Yunyu could determine that Pupa had a strange fetish of seeing Yunyu died in many horrible ways.
"Where is he anyway? Don't tell me there is something wrong with the world again," Yunyu started to get worried. He remembered that time when he was in world 7 with Xuanlake. Pupa disappeared because the nano bugs almost entered its body like a virus, and only appeared after everything was a mess.Â
"D'Did something happened?"
[Ding! This is an automated message.]
[Pupa!]
[Ding! Win Daebak Award to Escape.]
['¦]
"Oh no, this is Xuanlake crisis all over again!" Yunyu was panicked. He was unconscious for a while in that room with Lee Yongsun. Something must've happened back then.
But if Pupa couldn't return, even when Lee Yongsun was not around, then the situation must be very difficult.
Since the automated message told Yunyu that he needed to win Daebak Award to escape this world, that meant there was nothing he could do except by filling up the Breakmeter.
And the Breakmeter in this world was really simple. Just win the Daebak award, and it would fill to 100% immediately.
"Yeah, it's easy to say, but everything is in Lee Yongsun's hand! I don't even know what he will do to Jay and me!" Yunyu complained. But he knew there was nothing he could do except dancing in Lee Yongsun's hand. Whatever plan he had, Han could only abide to his command.Â
He returned back to his dorm and saw Kyong, Taesa, and Taeyang was fast asleep. But he didn't see Jay. He rushed to Kyong immediately and shook his body, "Kyong, Kyong! Why are you guys here? How about Jay, where is he?"
"H'Huh?" Kyong blinked his eyes few times. He saw his anxious Han Hyung, and he replied, "Jay Hyung is in the dance room. He suddenly becomes healthy and vigorous again after we arrived in the hospital, even his twisted knee magically retracted back."
"Really?" Han Hyung asked.
"Yes, you can check him yourself, Hyung. He is in the dance room," Kyong informed before he went back to sleep.Â
Han walked towards the dance room, and he heard a song was playing from inside. He rushed inside to check on Jay," Jay! Are you alright?"
Jay stopped dancing, he glanced at Han Hyung, and he smiled, "I'm great, Hyung. My knee magically twisted back to its place, and I feel energized, better than ever! I don't know what sort of boost I got, but I am ready to take over the stage right now!"
Jay continued dancing with the beat of his new song, the simple song that he failed to follow before. Now Jay danced even better than before. He was like a dance machine that blew away all the veteran dancers out there. A skill that a rookie idol shouldn't have, but Jay obtained it easily.
Jay ended his dance with a bang, and he looked at his Han Hyung, waiting to be praised. Han smiled bitterly and praised him, "Jay, you are amazing."
ραпdα Йᴏνê|(сòm) Jay was too much euphoria that he didn't realize how bitter and haggard Han looked right now. He hugged Han Hyung immediately, "Han Hyung! I've never felt this amazing! Even my previous self, I didn't know I could dance this good! Is this a blessing from God for my perseverance?"
"Yeah, it is'¦" Han replied weakly. Only he knew the fact behind Jay's sudden boost that made him super talented. It was not a blessing from God'¦
'Jay, you have been controlled by the devil'¦' Han said in his heart. Lee Yongsun must've done something to Jay, maybe as a gift, because Han had signed a contract with him. Now their lives were in that devil's hand, and their group was also in his hand. It might not be long until Kyong, Taeyang, and Taesa also sold their soul to the devil for a contract.
And as the oldest, Han must be responsible for protecting them from Lee Yongsun, no matter what.
Jay hugged Han Hyung tightly and smelled his hair. But he frowned when he smelled the same thing again.
Jay didn't smell the scent of coffee. Instead, he smelled tobacco or cigar on Han Hyung's scalp. The smell was a lot stronger than before, and he knew Han Hyung didn't smoke.
"Hyung, why is your hair smelling like tobacco for two days already?"
Han froze on the spot. He swallowed his saliva and mustered his courage, "There are so many smokers in the coffee shop today'¦"
"Really? I thought you said that you don't like the smell of tobacco. You should ask your friend to serve instead."
"No, it's okay, I will get used to it anyway'¦"
Jay had suspicion in his heart, and he couldn't just dismiss it like last time. Especially when he raised Han Hyung's chin, wanting to kiss him. But when he saw Han Hyung's lips, he frowned and had even more questions in his head.
"Hyung, why are your lips bruised?"
"Ah, because it's too crowded in the shop, I have to gobble my dinner. I accidentally bit my lips, haha'" Han pushed Jay's chest to separate their bodies. He took few steps back and said, "Well, I need to take a bath soon. Don't push yourself too hard, okay?"
Han left the dance room without looking back. The suspicion in Jay's heart roused, but he didn't want to judge too quickly. In fact, he also felt guilty to have this suspicious thought in his head. Since Han Hyung had been working hard for them every day.
But he couldn't help it, everything only led to one question,
'Did he cheat on me?'
