The reason why he had such a dream was not because he felt lonely, but because after a long time, he heard Kwon Jaekyung's name, stumbling upon countless pictures of him. The Internet has been bubbling since yesterday evening. When photos of Kwon Jae-kyung with a famous male celebrity went viral on social media, they became number one on all search engines, leading to an increase in misleading articles.
The photographs were not of great importance and did not express affection between them. They were just enjoying lunch together, dressed in casual clothes. Despite the fact that Kwon Jaekyong's cap hid his face, thanks to the broad shoulders and characteristic physique of the swimmer, it was difficult not to recognize him (the photographer probably deliberately took such pictures that emphasized the upper part of his body). However, the cause of the noise was another person captured in the photos and previously involved in the scandal with Kwon Jae-kyung.
The actor's name was Cha Sung-hyun, he worked as a model for a long time and began acting in dramas and films a few years ago. He was tall and well-built, and above all, he was considered one of the most popular young actors these days, regardless of his abilities.
Kwon Jae-kyung, a miracle of the Korean sports community, and Cha Sung-hyun, a legend of the 21st century, had previously made headlines when the paparazzi caught them alone shopping last Christmas in Australia. Cha Sung-hyun's agency promptly released a statement denying the rumors, claiming that he had come to Australia for a photo shoot and had accidentally met Jae-kyung through a mutual acquaintance. However, their explanation did not convince anyone.
Shopping alone with someone you barely know was unusual, especially at Christmas. Moreover, the resemblance between Cha Sunghyun and the guy who had also been involved in the scandal in the past was striking.
"Kwon Jaekyung never betrays his tastes," said the man sitting next to Jihon. Jihong decided to clarify with some curiosity: "What are you talking about? And what does it taste like?"
"Don't you know?" There was one athlete before Cha Sung-hyun, remember? It seems that Kwon Jaekyung has always liked tall, well-built, and handsome betas.
As far as Jihong knew, it was the first time that Kwon Jaekyung had been involved in such a situation last year. He was spotted leaving a hotel with a Taiwanese water polo athlete shortly after the Asian Games in Taiwan last summer. A man named Lin Han became a hot topic not only in Taiwan but also in Korea because he was a handsome athlete. The internet was awash with photos and articles featuring Kwon Jaekyung, Lin Han and two other athletes, and some even dubbed them the "F4 Asian Games."
Jihong has also seen these articles. The athlete was undeniably attractive, tall and had a physique befitting a water polo athlete. One could argue that he looks like Cha Sunghyun, but...
- I think this can be said about any handsome man in good shape. Roughly speaking, people of this type attract many people. And only a date with beta is definitely a matter of probability, not taste. If you're dating 10 people, eight of them are likely to be bets. Unless you consciously choose an alpha or omega for a date.
Also, you won't even know if any of them were actually a beta. All the information about famous people, such as celebrities or sports stars, was found on the internet, but most of it was unconfirmed rumors written by guesses based only on appearances or a few revealed facts. It was as unreliable as judging a blood type by personality traits or temperament. But people never got tired of this and kept repeating the same mistake.
"Hmm, everyone has their own preferences and can date whoever they want, whether it's an alpha or an omega. Some alphas do have an instinctive attraction to omegas. However, I do not think that this is an accident. Dating a beta is quite rare for someone like him. Don't you think so?" the guy asked, tilting his head slightly.
And it made sense. Despite the fact that chips and drugs suppressed the release of pheromones, alphas, being quite sensitive to them, always recognized omegas. Simply put, a person with a very severe dust allergy will react to a small amount of dust and end up sneezing, no matter how well they sweep, thoroughly clean, and wipe indoor surfaces. First of all, it is an instinct, albeit expressed in a romantic form...
"Chip manufacturing is so good these days that you won't know who the omega is even if you sit next to it. Not to mention, Kwon Jaekyung is insensitive to this kind of thing.
"Why? Is there something wrong with him?" asked the man with his eyes wide open.
"No, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with him. It's just that most athletes usually take medications that reduce sensitivity to pheromones.
"Oh, yes. A few alphas in my dance troupe took medication on the day of the performance as a precaution. We have a higher alpha-to-omega ratio than in other professions, so we don't know when or how an accident might happen...
The man quickly understood everything, because he was a person from the field of performing arts.
"But doesn't the medicine only last 24 hours?" If you do not take it in time, the effect will be immediate.
"Yep, that's why athletes have to take them every day. I believe that the amount of training you do has a direct impact on your performance, especially in sports that set world records. An extra day of training can improve the record by even 0.001 seconds. However, if an athlete is exposed to pheromones, training may not be effective. It will take at least two days to fully recover. That is why the record holders continue to take medication regardless of the season or off-season," Jihong said with a smile.
Even in high-paying sports leagues such as baseball, basketball, and soccer, there are provisions in contracts that require alpha athletes to actively cooperate with the club's management to avoid possible negative effects associated with pheromone exposure. Regardless of the sport, there are many so-called high-class athletes, and if they were exposed to them on the day of the competition, then disaster would occur. If couples did not marry at an early age and did not seek to respond exclusively to their partner's pheromones, then they were given medication or injections that reduced sensitivity.
In the early stages of commercialization of this injectable drug, there were rumors that its use could lead to a decrease in hormone production for the rest of your life or cause side effects such as erectile dysfunction.
Until now, sports communities publish articles like this:
[Breaking News! Major League Baseball Players Against Torture (225 comments)]
And, of course, the comments were as follows:
[Anonymous 17:36 This is the same as becoming a eunuch...]
[Anonymous 17:37 They can't use their *** even if they have one, but at least they're rich]
"Alphas and omegas have a very difficult time," the man sighed and leaned against the sofa. The most striking scenes of the drama, in which Cha Sung-hyun starred earlier this year, were shown on television. He added, "Yes, but I'm not sure about that either," as if he suddenly remembered the man he was still looking at. - I mean, everyone likes tall and handsome men, but there are a bunch of guys who are looking for short and slender young men. Since there aren't many women around, why are they obsessed with dating them?"
"Is it...?" muttered Jihon.
More than a hundred years ago, a difference in the so-called secondary field was discovered in humans. In the early to mid-19th century, the gender imbalance of the population began to reach its peak. The rate of same-sex marriage has long exceeded that of heterosexuals, but there were still people who held a conservative worldview. Jihon found it hard to believe.
"They probably can't date either a woman or a man.
"yes," the young man said, knocking down the pillow. He seemed to face rejection several times as he was tall and had a well-developed physique.
"It's strange. I thought you were very beautiful as soon as I met you.
"What?" I?
"Yes
In response, the man hit him with a pillow and said, "What was that? Do not console me for nothing." But unlike his answer, a smile was reflected on the guy's face. According to Jihon, he had a slender and attractive body, despite the fact that he was not casual enough to conform to the conventional wisdom. Perhaps his appearance looked even better due to the fact that he was not too thin and had strong muscles. However, it seemed that there were many men who did not like such an image.
"How tall are you?"
— 178 cm. 178.3 to be exact.
Jihong smiled with a cigarette in his mouth.
— Perfect. Not too tall and not too low. Even if you say you don't like being tall, would a guy like me hate being around you?
"So I'm your type?"
After a moment's thought, Jihong exhaled the smoke from his cigarette and replied, "I don't have any specific taste."
"Really?"
"True
It didn't matter if it was a woman or a man, a tall or a short person. The important thing was that they were interested in him. This made Jihon happy. However, when it came to choosing a one-night stand, things were a little different. He had never been interested in the personalities of those with whom he had a passing relationship, although revealing the true nature of his partners might have given him some advantage. When he managed to take off the mask, he was temporarily disappointed. But despite the fact that he was unlikely to meet this person again, he tried to hide his irritation so as not to disturb the atmosphere and not make his partner feel uncomfortable. During sex, he sought to match the tastes of another person as much as possible. He gave what his partner wanted. Jihon could adapt to any game, as long as it wasn't a very hardcore SM. Fortunately, Jihong had never met such a person. With such an appearance, the bad guys wouldn't even dare to approach him. And after all, he had only been playing so recklessly for a short time, at the end of his year in college.
