Chapter 158: B1.11

Pupa downloaded the hidden plot again and poured the rest of the hidden plot in Yunyu's head. Yunyu closed his eyes as he continued watching the hidden plot like a movie in his head.

*Hidden plot*

In the junior high graduation, Kibum and Yunyu got decent grades, while Taewoo topped the rank. Taewoo was surrounded by his peers, being praised to the moon and back. While Kibum was discouraged because of the disparity between his and Taewoo's ranking. 

"Don't be discouraged, look, my rank is lower than yours. You've done your best, and I'm proud," Yunyu said while patting Kibum's back to pacify him.

The invisible larva system chatted with Yunyu, 'Um.. great host, based on my data, your intelligence is far above Kibum and Taewoo. Is there a reason to lower your capability?'

'Yes, I want Kibum to not get intimidated by me. And I don't want to draw too much attention. It is best to lower my rank, so Kibum can relate to me more, and Taewoo will not see me as a competition.'

'Whaaa… Host is great! Host has a brilliant mind! Larva is at its imaginary knees!' Larva said, with its eyes sparkling full of awe.

[Awww… Larva system is so cute, unlike you.]

[Pupa: That Bai Yunyu also knows how to read the situation, unlike you. Tell me, how many times did you fuck up the world because of your own fault?]

[… Huh, pardon? I'm totally ignoring you just now.]

Taewoo saw this heartwarming scene between Kibum and Yunyu, and his heart got colder. He felt that the praises and compliments from his peers worth nothing. Kibum was luckier than him because he got an honest, genuine compliment from someone he loved. 

And the person that Kibum loved was also the person that Taewoo had in his heart.

Taewoo clenched his fist as this flame of jealousy slowly eat him. 

'Larva: Ding! Ragemeter increases to 20%.'

'Larva: Ding! Kim Taewoo's Fatemeter increases to 65%.'

'Larva: Ding! Kim Kibum's Fatemeter increases to 60%.'

Bai Yunyu stared at the hologram showing the Fatemeters of the twins. Although he should be happy that the Fatemeters were raising quickly, it was also a grievance. He sat in his room, keep on staring at the hologram.

"Host, are you alright? Larva is worried…" Larva said while circling around Yunyu.

"I'm not sure if this can be called as alright…" Yunyu said, "I know that I will have to hurt them to fill the Ragemeter eventually, but I'm just sad that I have to repeat this cycle over and over in every world until I can save him…"

"But host, this is what you signed up for! Trust me, he will be grateful for your sacrifice after you completed all worlds!" Larva tried to encourage Yunyu.

Yunyu smiled bitterly and closed his eyes. A tear dropped from his eyes as he remembered his loved one, "No, Larva. He will hate me for centuries, maybe forever. Because he will see this as a betrayal. It's all over between us, so I just want to save him and die peacefully."

[Pupa… my heart hurts…]

[Pupa: Because of that familiar feeling?]

[Yes, I don't know who the man he was talking about. But I can feel the same pain he has. I feel like I have to leave the love of my life. This feeling… I can sense a deep connection between me and that unknown man, my past lover.]

[And he is really angry with me…]

The scene changed when Yunyu and Kibum were already freshmen in high school. They had a date together in an arcade, still in their school uniform. It was the twins' birthday, but Yunyu only asked Kibum out because he was the 'official boyfriend.'

Kibum and Yunyu enjoyed the simple dates together until Yunyu said, "Close your eyes, I have a surprise for you."

"Surprise? Um… alright…" Kibum closed his eyes, and he felt Yunyu grabbed his wrist with his warm hands. Then, he assumed that Yunyu put on a bracelet on his wrist.

"You can open your eyes now." 

Kibum opened his eyes and raised his wrist. There was a bracelet with an angel with trumpet as decoration, "This is a secure bracelet. Remember, when you feel sad or insecure, the guardian angel with trumpet will keep reminding you how precious you are."

"Guardian angel…?" Kibum stared at Yunyu, and Yunyu's smile bloomed beautifully. He nodded;

"Yes, I am your guardian angel."

'Larva: Ding! Kim Kibum's Fatemeter increases to 80%.'

'Larva: Ding! Ragemeter increases to 30%.'

'Taewoo is here, right?'

'Larva: Yes, host! He has been stalking you and Kibum!'

After they were done with the birthday date, Kibum offered Yunyu to accompany Yunyu back home. But Yunyu refused, "I still need to do some stuff first. It must be tiring for you. I will meet you at school." 

"Are you sure?" Kibum had an ominous feeling that he couldn't discern, but Yunyu pacified him with a nod, and they were finally separated. 

Yunyu intentionally walked alone on a quieter road. He knew that Taewoo was following him not far from his position. He decided to step inside the local park that was often empty. Finally, after there was nobody other than Yunyu and Taewoo, Taewoo showed up in front of him and rudely pulled his hand. 

"T—Taewoo?! Why are you here?! Where are you taking me?!" Yunyu tried to resist, but Taewoo was like a starving wolf. He pulled Yunyu to climb the tall stairs leading to the peak of the hill.

"S—Stop! Argh!" Yunyu accidentally slipped midway on the stone staircase. Taewoo caught him and decided to just carry Yunyu on his back while he climbed the stairs. Once they reached the peak, Taewoo went to a pavilion and sat Yunyu beside him.

"What is the meaning of all this? What do you want?!" Yunyu struggled. Taewoo finally raised Yunyu's body up and sat him between his thighs as he snuggled, "You won't celebrate my birthday? You celebrated Kibum's birthday, but not mine. I am very jealous."

"Because I'm his boyfriend! I'm not even your friend to begin with!" Yunyu struggled, but Taewoo held him tight, basically trapping Yunyu in his embrace. 

Taewoo rested his chin on Yunyu's shoulder and asked, "Why do you like my brother anyway? He is obviously dull and inferior to me in any way. Why can't you love me instead?"

"Is that how you value yourself over your brother?" Yunyu's word suddenly became sharp, like a knife stabbed Taewoo's heart, "Do you really think that your brother is inferior to you in all things? Kim Taewoo, I expected more from you."

"You know why I can't accept you? Because love does not come for the narcissist." 

Taewoo was astonished by Yunyu's words. It was like a knife stabbed his conscience. He trembled and hugged Yunyu even tighter, "I—I didn't mean it that way! I was just… I… I fell in love with you! I cannot see you with anyone else, and I will not share with my brother!"

"Kim Taewoo, release me, I don't want to have anything to do with you," Yunyu said coldly.

"No! Please forgive me first! Please give me a chance! I will be a better person in the future! please, I'm begging you!" Taewoo desperately trapped Yunyu in his embrace. He was afraid that Yunyu would disappear anytime. 

"… only if you can share.'

'Larva: Ding! Kim Taewoo's Fatemeter increases to 80%. Host, may I know why you are doing this to Taewoo? He looks desperate and sad.'

'He is still one of the men that I created with my lover's soul. I have to educate him because I treasured him deeply, just like I treasured every master of the worlds we had created together.'
