Chapter 311: 11.3

[I'm his whaaaaaaaaaat?]

[Pupa: You are his boyfriend. Why are you so surprised with this anyway? Idol dating is not uncommon. Besides, you are dating your own groupmate. It should be a lot easier to hide your dating secret than dating a random person out there.]

[But he is not the master of the world! This will be messy!]

[Pupa: Well, a breakup is not uncommon in idol dating life, right? You can break up with him once you meet the master of the world.]

[If only it's that easy. Why are you keep putting us in a difficult love triangle situation anyway? In previous worlds, I just need to handle the main lead's love interest. But after that ninth world with Urduk and Elduin, you keep pitting me in difficult scenarios!]

[Pupa: That is intentional, of course.]

Pupa circled around Yunyu and continued with a nonchalant tone.

[Pupa: I intentionally stacked easier worlds in your earlier transmigrations, so you can learn. Imagine if you start with Long Zhen/Long Shen's world? Or Urduk and Elduin's world? You might never make it out alive. You should thank me.]

[You are also the one who said that I don't need to worry about Fatemeter, but what we see here, huh? So many worlds depend on the Fatemeter.]

[Pupa: I just didn't expect you actually able to fill it up. Don't blame me because you look and act incompetent most of the time.]

[Pupa: Anyway, just act natural as a couple. I'm going to watch some Sailormoon in my free time, Adieu.]

Haneul gulped when Jay said that they were dating. It wouldn't be so problematic if they were not idols. Because idol dating rumour could be the end of their career. Not helping the fact that they were both men.

If the public knew they were two men dating…

Haneul shook his head. He started weighing whether to break up with Jay right now to avoid further conflict or wait until later.

'If I break up with him now, Jay would definitely get devastated, and his mental state will affect the team performance. We cannot afford to mess up in performance no matter what!' Haneul thought. After further consideration, he cleared his throat and smiled at Jay.

"I was just surprised you would kiss me so suddenly. Also, you stink! Go take a bath and rest!" Han said to Jay. Jay smiled and stole a kiss from Han's cheek for the second time before running back to their dorm to take a bath.

Yunyu sighed because he didn't know what to do with his relationship with Jay. There was also nothing wrong with their relationship, so they couldn't just break up for no reason.

Yunyu called Pupa again, "Pupa, come here."

Pupa materialized unwillingly in front of Yunyu, "What? I'm watching Sailormoon right now!"

"Aish, you can watch that later!" Yunyu yelled annoyedly. "At least tell me the identity of the main lead!"

"Fine, his name is Lee Yongsun. He is a successful young businessman at the age of twenty-eight. He is currently thinking about investing in a boy group. That's why I said you should show your best in that Mbink performance because he will be a guest there. This is the one and only chance. Either you make it, or you restart it.

"Wow, Pupa, totally not giving me pressure at all," Yunyu said. He looked at the door and complained, "What about Jay, though? I don't know how to break up with him!"

"That is quite surprising," Pupa responded. "I thought you will be drooling over Jay's handsomeness and forget about the mission instantly. You grow up, at last."

"That's because I don't want to mess this world! I feel like the world after Urduk, and Elduin's world is very challenging, all of it. And I won't believe this is a recreational world," Pupa squinted suspiciously. "You are not pitting me against something, right?"

"This world is more challenging because of the current situation of debuting an idol group. Other than that, there is nothing much," Pupa informed. "I will leave now, don't call me again."

Pop!

Yunyu was left alone again. He sighed and continued practising alone in his dance room.

"Alright, guys. We only have two days before we do our first show in Mbink! This is our debut in Mbink, one of the most prestigious music show! We need to be perfect!" Haneul was briefing the members before practice.

They would do the final rehearsal tomorrow on the stage, and it would be a disaster if they couldn't get it right.

"One.. two… three…"

Their practice lasted for hours nonstop until it was time for dinner. Other than Haneul and Jay, none of them actually worked. So as the oldest, Haneul worked the most and Jay also helped to provide for their food.

"I bought five jajangmyeon for us," Han said. He bought three portions of Jajangmyeon and shared them together in one big bowl for all of them.

Taeyang and Taesa looked at each other and said, "Hyung, we are sorry for being your burden…"

Kyong also felt guilty for being provided too much, "PD-Nim should give us enough allowance to eat for a month. The money he gives us monthly barely covers our food for two weeks. It forces you and Jay Hyung to work. Ah, I don't want to eat instant ramyeon every single day!"

"Hush! just enjoy the food," Haneul said, afraid the manager might hear them and report it to the PD-Nim and CEO.

They were just the bottom of the barrel anyway. Although the company had invested a lot in them, they would disband and full of debt if they couldn't find success in one or two years. This was their only chance to succeed, and Han didn't want anyone to mess it up.

Jay glanced at his boyfriend, who worked so hard every day for all of them. Although Jay also worked, it was not as hard as Haneul. Jay silently slid his hand and gently caressed Haneul's hand.

Han responded by giving a side-glance at Jay and gave him a smile of tacit understanding. They were dating for a while right now, but they hadn't told anyone yet, not even their members. Because they didn't know if their members would accept a gay couple as their teammates.

Besides, they didn't know what their manager, PD, and CEO would say when they knew there was a gay couple in BXB69.

Well, mostly in Haneul's worry, though. Jay cared less about what people thought about them. They didn't care if people would call him gay or something, but Han was someone who cared a lot about reputation and image.

Han got a message after dinner, a message from Jay.

*Jaybird: When will you announce our relationship? At least to our group.'

*Haneul: When we are ready. Jay, don't be too hasty.*

*Jaybird: Whatever you say, Hyung. I just love you so much, so I can get a bit impatient.*

*Haneul: I love you too.*

Han stared at Jay, who was sitting across him. Jay had a smile on his face while nudging on Han's feet with his toes. It made Han even more hesitant to break up because Jay really was a good boyfriend so far.

'I really hope nothing goes wrong.'
