Psycho TrapChapter 2

As Do-hwa recalls, Min-jun was just a hubae he wanted to buy a meal for.

This year, Do-hwa, who is currently a 3rd year student majoring in business at Korea University, has been involved in a club since his freshman year. The club, abbreviated as ‘Younghee’, is engaged in volunteer activities under the name ‘Eternal Hope.’ They visit various places, including facilities for people with disabilities, childcare centers, and community centers, to lend a helping hand.

Younghee was not a stimulating and exciting club, so not many people wanted to join. It wasn’t until a high-profile member joined that the club took off.

Cha Min-jun, a sophomore who transferred this year. At twenty-two years old, he was the center of attention on campus, despite his part-time job.

This world is divided into the 1st gender, Alpha, Omega, Beta, and the 2nd gender, Male, Female.

Alpha and Omega are prioritized as the 1st gender and are naturally living accordingly. Alphas can impregnate, and Omegas can get pregnant. They make up about 30% of the population, and Alphas and Omegas are divided into dominant and recessive, but they often hold high positions in society due to their superior appearance and outstanding abilities. On the other hand, Betas, who make up 70% of the population, live their lives centered around their 2nd gender and are more ordinary than Alphas and Omegas. NrKf4I

However, Min-jun had characteristics that were too far to be called a Beta. A height exceeding 190cm with broad shoulders. He has a muscular and well-proportioned body, yet a slender waist that balances everything, making any outfit look good on him. His Western features were sharp and sculpted, and his speech was gentle. He didn’t use any common swear words at all.

While Korean University has a considerable number of dominant Alphas compared to other universities, being with Cha Min-jun was like being a squid.

He was always at the top of his class because of his good grades, and he was often over-nominated because of his popularity. But Min-jun refused, saying he wanted to focus on his studies.

He barely touched alcohol at meetings, barely ran the first lap, and some days refused to do so. Some of the students were dissatisfied with his distance.

Above all, Min-jun rarely talked about himself. Everything about his family and where he lived was a secret. He was no different from the other students in terms of color, but there was a certain elegance to him. This mystery and his extraordinary appearance attracted attention, and he was the center of attention, whether they liked it or not.

As a result, Min-jun’s classes were filled with female Betas, including Omega, and the classroom was so crowded that there was a shortage of desks.

The impact of Min-jun joining the volunteer club Younghee was significant. The students who followed Min-jun applied to join Younghee. At first, they accepted all of them, but later they were overwhelmed and had to turn some away.

Originally consisting of around twenty members, Younghee, under the influence of Min-jun, expanded to the extent of having one hundred members. The bewildered club president appointed additional executives. Do-hwa, who had been a member since 1st grade, was also nominated for the position, but he declined because he didn’t have the necessary numbers and didn’t feel comfortable in front of others. 0JOpdW

With the club becoming a large group, it became extremely active, engaging in various volunteer activities with teams assigned every week. Whenever Min-jun went to the field, people always gathered around him, whether they were club members, staff at the volunteering site, or anyone else.

Even though Do-hwa was also a Beta, he seemed like a different person.

When the club members saw this, they were full of admiration and jealousy, saying that Min-jun would take good care of the children if he got married in the future and expressing wonder about what he couldn’t do.

After the workday was over, they all planned to hang out together, but the kids insisted on holding onto Min-jun and Do-hwa, so they decided to join them later.

However, it was later than expected, and the after-party ended quickly, leaving Do-hwa alone with Min-jun. Do-hwa felt awkward and overwhelmed being alone with a celebrity, but he tried not to let it show.

‘You really worked hard today. It must have been tough, right?’ mOdQle

‘No, I enjoyed it. The kids were cute. Aren’t you hungry?’

‘Yeah, I’m hungry too. Is there anywhere nearby we can go?’

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Do-hwa rolled his eyes and looked around. He saw a barbecue restaurant in front of him.

‘Min-jun, is this place okay? kp7H6t

It was a place he wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to his other classmates, but it was strangely difficult for Min-jun because he looked like he belonged in a fancy restaurant.

‘Sure.’

Min-jun replied with a smile. According to his classmates, Min-jun is usually cold and sharp, but when he smiles, it’s like the arrival of spring. They said this duality was charming, and it was true. Do-hwa felt a strange tingling sensation in his chest, and his cheeks seemed to flush for no reason, but he tried his best not to show it.

They entered the restaurant and started their meal. Min-jun ate much more than Do-hwa had anticipated. Before Do-hwa could finish half of his meal, Min-jun emptied one bowl, ordered another serving of stew, and even added a sundae. Do-hwa, who had been worried Min-jun might not like the stew, felt relieved and happy. He even encouraged him to eat more, saying that he would take care of the bill. go03VS

When their stomachs were nearly full, a staff member brought a bottle of soju and two glasses.

‘Today marks the 1st anniversary of our restaurant’s opening. This is a complimentary gift as part of the celebration event.’

It was peach-flavored soju, not regular soju. Min-jun placed the glasses in front of Do-hwa and filled them with soju. Do-hwa also lifted the bottle, intending to reciprocate, but then realized and hesitated.

‘You can’t handle alcohol?’ enyPfA

‘It’s not that I can’t; I just haven’t. Today, I feel like having a drink. Please, go ahead.’

Min-jun held up the soju glass with a delicate hand. Do-hwa, who expected him to refuse, poured the soju with an awkward hand gesture at the reversed situation. He felt awkward enough to just drink it, so he made a silent toast and swallowed the drink. For Do-hwa, who usually likes peaches, the peach-flavored soju was surprisingly sweet and delicious. As a result, one glass led to another. Min-jun also demonstrated that he wasn’t incapable of drinking but simply hadn’t done it before, as he smoothly consumed the alcohol.

When he was slightly drunk, Min-jun looked at Do-hwa and smiled.

‘Earlier, the kids called you rabbit hyung when they saw you, saying you look like a rabbit.’ KGdEkJ

‘Oh… I hear that kind of thing sometimes.’

Do-hwa had often heard that he looked like a rabbit since he was young. At one point, he didn’t like it and tried changing his hairstyle and exercising, but it didn’t work out as he hoped. Now, he didn’t mind hearing that he resembled a rabbit. After all, it could be considered cute.

‘If I were to raise an animal, I’d choose a rabbit. I would take good care of it because they are so cute.’

Huh? Why Min-jun suddenly said something like this, he couldn’t understand. His gaze was also somewhat mysterious. However, not wanting an awkward atmosphere, Do-hwa just took it positively. CJpAOw

In the end, they ordered additional soju, and when they emptied about three bottles, Do-hwa lost his composure. However, even though Min-jun had drunk more than Do-hwa, his face didn’t change, and he remained composed. It was a moment when he realized that he hadn’t been unable to drink; he simply hadn’t been drinking all this time.

Do-hwa felt the world spinning around him. As he rested his head on the table, his memory flew away.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw an unfamiliar ceiling. He was confused as he looked around. He was lying on a spacious bed, wearing oversized clothes. There was a pleasant fragrance on his hair and body. Most surprising of all was the fact that Min-jun was lying next to him.

‘Ugh.’ rIRBzD

He wasn’t wearing anything, so his muscles were clearly visible. He was expecting him to have an attitude that he could feel even if he was wearing normal clothes, but his scent was more mature and sexual than he could have imagined. As he was feeling embarrassed for continuously staring, Do-hwa turned his head away. Why is he sleeping completely naked…? Couldn’t he at least put on some underwear…?

The bed was quite large. So, even with two adult men lying down, there was still space. There was no need for them to be so close. When Do-hwa urgently tried to sit up and move his body, Min-jun opened his eyes.

‘Did seonbae wake up?’

He was in a state of having woken up, but his beauty was no joke. Clearly, even though the sun was rising outside the window, it felt like all that light was concentrated here. QJ3KrO

‘Yeah. Min-jun, where is this?’

‘This is the place where I live.’

The place where a college student lives was incredibly spacious and luxurious. The harmony of black and white furniture and electronic devices gave the room a modern and sophisticated vibe.

‘Yesterday, when I tried to take you home, seonbae, I couldn’t find your house, so I just came here. You were sweating a lot, so I also washed your clothes.’ jM3woW

That means Min-jun washed himself. Do-hwa felt embarrassed about revealing his bare body and hunched his shoulders.

‘Ah… Thank you… Huh?’

While speaking, Do-hwa touched his lips, feeling an odd sensation that had been present since earlier. They were strangely swollen. Despite not having any particular allergies, why was this happening? Do-hwa, as a check, lightly patted his lips. He felt awkward, as if he had turned into a goldfish. In the meantime, Min-jun’s gaze also caught his attention. It was awkward to ask if there was something strange about his lips. First, Do-hwa thought he should examine his condition with his own eyes.

‘Ah, I’m going to the bathroom.’ MDruZ3

‘Sure, you can go through that glass door over there.’

‘Uh-huh…’

Do-hwa got up from the bed. The floor was entirely covered with white carpet, and it felt good to walk on it. While walking, he noticed decorations that he hadn’t seen from the bed. It was undeniably a luxurious space, far too extravagant to be considered a place where a college student lives. It wasn’t just a sense of living comfortably; it was excessive. Among the rumors floating around about Min-jun, there was talk that he might be the son of a chaebol family, and it seemed to be true.

Upon entering the bathroom, Do-hwa, when he looked in the mirror, felt his breath catch. His lips were more swollen than he thought, and his neck was stained with red, as if flowers had bloomed in various places. He perplexedly touched his neck with his hand. What could have been in the soup he ate yesterday? Do-hwa washed his face, making simple guesses about the cause. t3nJy7
