Chapter 156: B1.9

[Pupa: Ding! A hidden plot has been partially unlocked, Bai Yunyu's mission!] 

[Partial?]

[It seems that I can only access 50% of the actual hidden plot, 80% of the hidden plot is accessible when you have reduced the Ragemeter to 20%. It will be fully accessible once the Ragemeter reached 0%] 

Pupa downloaded the hidden plot provided after Yunyu had successfully reduced the Ragemeter until it was less than 50%, then poured it into Yunyu's head. Yunyu closed his eyes as he felt a sharp pain in his head.

*Hidden plot*

The first thing that Yunyu saw was a younger version of himself, wearing a junior high school uniform, standing in front of the class with his bag. He was a new student in the 8th grade of junior high, "My name is Bai Yunyu, I come from China. I transferred because my dad is working in Korea now!"

All girls in the class were swooned by the cuteness of Bai Yunyu. He was small compared to other boys, and he was also adorable with chubby cheeks. Although he was already in middle school, he still had a babyface, making him look even younger. 

[Awww… I was so cute! This Bai Yunyu is very similar to me in junior high!]

[Pupa: Yes, he is a cute pure boy… what a pity.]

[Hey! What does that mean!?]

Few boys were also charmed when he saw Yunyu smiling at them, but Kim Taewoo and Kibum, who were on their respective chairs, ignored him. Not that they ever pay attention to anything in class. Taewoo and Kibum were twins with a broken family.

Their father and mother had been divorced, and Kim Mother was assigned to a mental hospital and was accused of child neglect and abuse. She was also diagnosed with Schizophrenia as she often abused Kibum, whom she often saw like a demon that was going to kill her. 

After prolonged neglect and abuse, Taewoo reported his own mother for abuse, and she was taken to the mental hospital. Kim Father was never a good father either, and he often neglected his children alone in the big house as he had fun with younger women. 

Although they were quite wealthy, Kibum and Taewoo only relied on each other for everything. So they had a deep connection.

But Taewoo was a natural leader, excellent and charming, Kibum was like a speck of dirt compared to him. Taewoo didn't understand that pulling Kibum to his circle only cast a shadow in Kibum's heart. 

Thus, their relationship had been strained because of this. 

Yunyu sat on the seat between Kibum and Taewoo, "Hi, my name is Bai Yunyu," Yunyu introduced himself cheerfully. But none of the twins responded. 

The scene changed as Kibum was sitting under a tree, eating his lunch alone. Yunyu was peeking from behind the wall not far from there. 

"Larva, what is Kibum's current Ragemeter and Fatemeter?"

A robot shaped like Caterpie from the Pokemon game suddenly popped out. It was resting on a leaf-shaped pillow and replied with a cute voice, "Umm… Kibum's Ragemeter and Fatemeter are both 0%, host, good luck!"

[Wait...]

[Pupa:…]

[Is that system… you?]

[Pupa:…]

[System, are you… hiding something from me?]

[Pupa: I wished. But it's true, that larva was me centuries ago. I almost forgot my appearance as a larva after being a Pupa for so long.]

[Why are you with this… Bai Yunyu?]

[Pupa: I don't remember. I only had one host before you. But the HQ naturally deleted most of my memory about the host after he completed his mission. Because it might cause an attachment between host and system. Maybe my previous host was also you.]

[Pupa: But I remembered that my previous host was very professional and competent, unlike…]

[You still have the time to slander me at the worst time possible, Pupa.]

[Pupa: Let's just see what this Bai Yunyu will do to Kibum.]

Bai Yunyu approached Kibum, who sat alone and sat uncaringly beside him. He opened his lunchbox and started eating with Kibum. 

"W—Why are you here…" Kibum gulped.

"Why am I here? Um… I just want to eat with you!" Yunyu said excitedly as he chomped on his fried shrimp.

"There are other spaces…" Kibum mumbled.

"Ah, because you eat alone, so I want to accompany you," Yunyu smiled and picked his piece of fried shrimp and put it in Kibum's lunchbox, "Here is a fried shrimp for you. Since we are friends now, then we can share many things together!"

Kibum was stunned when this kid suddenly barged in and tried to be familiar with him. Usually, people wanted to approach him so they could be closer to Taewoo, "Are you doing this to know Taewoo better?"

Yunyu tilted his head, "Who is Taewoo?"

Larva, who was invisible behind Yunyu, got a notification, 'Ding! Kim Kibum's Fatemeter increases to 15%. My host is great!'

[… you sound more optimistic and encouraging as a larva. Pupa, can you turn back into a larva?]

[Pupa: I have no intention to do so, especially with you as my host.]

Kibum and Yunyu became friends since then. They often chatted together, and their bond naturally deepened until Kibum's fatemeter reached 30%. Taewoo finally noticed that his brother often hung out with the new kid. He got suspicious and also slightly jealous. He rarely hang out with Kibum nowadays unless they were at home because he had his own peers. 

But he still cared a lot for his brother. He didn't want him to be used by someone else. Thus, Taewoo confronted Yunyu when he was alone and pushed him to the wall, "What are you doing to my brother?" Taewoo gazed deeply at Yunyu.

Yunyu blinked few times and tilted his head, "What am I doing? I'm Kibum's friend."

"Don't lie. My brother is precious to me. If you want to use him for something, then I will not forgive you!" 

Yunyu's expression chilled instantly, "Just because you are more popular than your brother doesn't mean that I also want to befriend you. I like Kibum because he is genuine and nice to me. So, piss off before I punch your face!"

Yunyu pushed Taewoo and left. Taewoo was stunned by such a hostile response. Usually, people would be drawn towards him naturally. But this one was drawn towards Kibum more. 

Somehow, it made him jealous… of Kibum.

'Ding! Kim Taewoo's Fatemeter increases to 10%. Host is very clever!'

[Listening to this cute larva system makes me even saltier, especially since I have you now.]

[Pupa: I have the experience and more usability.]

[What usability?]

Yunyu lived through the middle school, getting closer and closer to Kibum, and was teased and chased by Taewoo daily. It was until they graduated from junior high that Kibum and Taewoo's Fatemeters both reached 50%. 

Kibum came to him first and asked him out shyly, "Yunyu, I… I think I've fallen in love with you…" 

"Really? That's great! I like you too!" Yunyu replied enthusiastically.

And then, the next day, Taewoo stopped Yunyu on his way home and confronted him about the confession, "Did you accepted my brother's confession? You two are dating now?"

Yunyu glared at Taewoo, "Yes, what are you going to do now?"

Taewoo smirked and pulled Yunyu closer. He kissed Yunyu's lips without warning, which left Yunyu stunned for a while.

"Then you must also date me in secret!"

[Pupa: Even this version of Bai Yunyu is also a lecherous hoe.]

[Ehe, old habit dies hard, I guess?]
