Join the ServerCrispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [For stirring up trouble,]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [I’m sorry.
Well, only to you, Nokddoongie, lol]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Sorry? (lightning)]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Honestly, I almost]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [screamed out loud.
I was so excited.]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Has there ever been a Mung Bean fan]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [who spoke out so strongly like that… (moved)]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [No matter how much of a Mung Bean fan you are,]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Actually, maybe because you’re a Mung Bean fan,]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [it’s even harder to do,]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [(since you get double or triple the insults…)]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Honestly, it was the best.]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Almost as cool as Mung Bean in the anime…
TT TTTTT TTTTT]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Thank you so much.]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [You’re the hero of millions of Mung Bean fans stuck in their rooms.]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Whoa]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [To receive such praise in my life, and from Nokddoongie-nim no less]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Feels awesome lol lol lol lol lol lol lol]
Truth be told, Lee Do-kyung hardly ever looked at the Invincible Power Kitty Corps fan page boards.
He had no reason to.
That day, after handing Seon Woo-min over to Bae Jun-ho at the club, he’d tried to casually contact Nokddoongie Bokddoongie and accidentally touched something in the app, which led him to the ‘5 Cats’ page.
He’d been scrolling through his phone screen without much thought when that post caught his eye.
The more he read, the more pissed off he got, and he couldn’t just let it slide.
Using the initials ‘ND’ for Mung Bean to mean ‘no answer’ was malicious from the start.
The three hundred or so comments agreeing with it were also a sight to behold.
There were a few Mung Bean fans in the comment section, but they were all either too fragile or too gentle, only managing weak responses like ‘That’s not true TT’.
To Do-kyung, insulting Mung Bean felt like insulting Seon Woo-min.
It felt like a crowd was criticizing and mocking Woo-min, and his blood boiled.
First, he replied to every single comment one by one.
After that, to take down that ‘I Am The Boss Monster’ bastard, he grabbed a headband, pushed back his bangs, pulled up a chair, and unleashed a furious search-fu—since he hadn’t watched all the episodes.
You’re dead, you Boss Monster motherfucker.
It was the first time in a long while he’d felt such fighting spirit.
He hadn’t expected Woo-min to like it this much—he’d been too focused on the idea that he had to defend his favorite character, Mung Bean.
Regardless, it was worthwhile.
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Did you see the new version episode 7 that came out yesterday? (heart)]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [No, not yet.]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [I was going to wait until season 1 finished]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [and then binge it.]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Because waiting week to week is so frustrating.]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Ah~ that’s true lol]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Anything special happen?]
Exchanging belated greetings with Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake felt strangely natural.
Even though this was only their third conversation, Woo-min felt comfortable with him, as if they’d known each other for a long time.
The fact that it was enjoyable was a bonus.
This made him think that when he clicked with someone, his heart opened up quickly, regardless of how often they’d contacted each other.
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [So that bastard tried to act tough and got cocky, lol]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Ended up eating four plates of dried pollack, lol lol lol]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake was currently telling a story about a recent incident with friends at a bar.
It seemed he also felt comfortable with Woo-min.
But it wasn’t a total comfort where he’d cross lines recklessly.
His tone seemed light, but he himself didn’t seem that way.
At least, that was Woo-min’s impression.
Wanting to know more about MungBeanPancake, Woo-min impulsively blurted out a question.
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [MungBeanPancake-nim, you’re a man, right?]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Oh]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [How did you know I was a man? (amazed)(amazed)]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Uh, just…]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Your way of speaking seemed very male.]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Lol lol lol]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [You have great intuition]
As expected, Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake was a man.
It was a relief he answered without hesitation—what if he’d been prickly and asked why Woo-min wanted to know?
Woo-min let out a relieved breath.
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [What about Nokddoongie-nim?]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [I’m a man too.]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Oh]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [A tough guy?]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Yeah, a tough male]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Lol lol lol lol lol]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Lol lol]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [No wonder]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [I thought so]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Somehow it clicked lol]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Yeah, me too. (smile)]
After chatting aimlessly for a while, Seon Woo-min’s thoughts turned again to the pierced man.
Thinking MungBeanPancake probably wouldn’t be sensitive about this kind of question, he typed quickly.
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [MungBeanPancake-nim, if I may ask.]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Uh huh]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [What do you think about a man]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [who carries a condom around?]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Oh my]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Suddenly? (shy)]
Do-kyung laughed through his nose, sending a shy, squirming emoticon.
It was a trademark of Seon Woo-min to suddenly ask a question completely out of context.
Objectively speaking, it didn’t fit the situation, but within Woo-min’s own thought process, it probably followed a logical flow.
It was a trait Do-kyung found particularly endearing.
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Lol lol]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Hmm, I dunno?]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Probably a guy who likes to stick his d*ck everywhere]
Typing without thinking, Do-kyung suddenly had a chilling thought that the ‘man who carries a condom’ Nokddoongie was referring to might be him.
He jumped up from the sofa and hastily added more messages.
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Or]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Or]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Or maybe!]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Could be someone who plays cleanly too]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [You can’t tell just from that]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [You gotta look at the person’s character]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Person (lightning)]
Why are there so many typos today, of all times?
Do-kyung muttered, as if his typos were particularly bad only today.
“Focus, focus.”
The leopard-print headband Do-kyung wore to hold back his bothersome hair glinted flashily under the living room’s dim lighting.
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Hmm.
That’s true.]
Fortunately, Seon Woo-min didn’t raise any objections.
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Yeah, could be someone gentlemanly and]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Gentlemanly and responsible maybe?]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Hehe he]
Was that a bit of a stretch?
Do-kyung flicked his tongue against the inside of his lip where the ring piercing was.
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie’s reaction—just laughing without commenting—was a bit unsettling.
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [But MungBeanPancake-nim,]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [how many times have you dated?]
“Woo-min… of all the good questions you could ask, why dating?”
They were about to become lovers; there was no benefit in telling him about his dating history.
You’re curious about strange things.
Seon Woo-min was always curious about this stuff, even though he couldn’t handle it.
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Me, I’ve done a bit of this and that]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Moderately? lol]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [What about Nokddoongie-nim?]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Ah.
I’ve dated once.]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Ahh]
Despite his concern for Seon Woo-min, it was Do-kyung himself who was consumed by rage.
If it’s one relationship, oh, that must be Park Seung-won, that motherfucker, right?
I know without even asking.
Do-kyung grabbed a handful of popcorn from the coffee table and stuffed it in his mouth.
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Nokddoongie-nim, are you seeing anyone right now?]
He didn’t think Woo-min was dating, but even if he was, that spot was definitely his anyway.
Still, it didn’t hurt to be sure.
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Right now?]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [No.]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [And no one you like either?]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [No, no one.]
It wasn’t ‘not sure’ or ‘I don’t think so’ but a definitive ‘no.’
Do-kyung made a bitter face.
That also meant he had zero interest in the man who frequented his café.
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Then MungBeanPancake-nim, by any chance,]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [someone you still can’t forget,]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [like a fiery love,]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [have you ever experienced that?]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Like a one-sided crush,]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [or among the people you’ve dated?]
“Sorry, but this hyung doesn’t do things like one-sided crushes.”
Leaning back against the armrest of the sofa, Do-kyung wiggled his crossed ankles and typed his response.
He had never stuck with one person, just sampled here and there.
But after he started dating Seon Woo-min, he immediately cut ties with everyone else he’d been keeping on the back burner.
All in.
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [I do]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Someone I still can’t forget]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Someone I won’t forget until the day I die]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [The love of my life (heart)]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Whoa, amazing…! (sparkle)]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Who is it?]
“…Who else?”
Do-kyung’s eyes curved sadly.
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [No, I mean]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [What kind of person were they?]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [They were kind.]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Considerate]
Do-kyung’s fingers, tapping on the phone keyboard, were slowing down.
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Had great taste]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Was sexy]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [We communicated well, had great banter]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Our sense of humor matched perfectly]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Everything else important just clicked too]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [And…]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [They were f*cking beautiful.]
Startled, Seon Woo-min froze, gripping his phone with both hands.
He couldn’t think of what to say.
His mind was blank, as if a giant eraser had swept through it.
The sight of Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake, so overwhelmed with longing, was unfamiliar and disconcerting.
It was almost the first time his messages had no typos or sound effects.
Had MungBeanPancake ever been this serious?
Clearing his throat, Woo-min read through MungBeanPancake’s messages again.
His earnest answer to Woo-min’s question filled the screen.
Woo-min had asked first; he was just replying with his usual kindness.
Then why did it feel so… unpleasant?
Why did his stomach feel so twisted?
He could actually feel his stomach clenching and tightening in his solar plexus, and Woo-min bit his lip.
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [You must have really liked them.]
Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake (find_B12345): [Yes.]
Do-kyung could no longer look at his phone and draped his wrist over his eyelids.
Liked them?
He had loved him like a madman.
Enough that the name Seon Woo-min had become a bruise festering in his chest.
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Wow…]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [If you liked them that much, why did you break up?]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [Ah, I’m sorry.]
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107): [That was too rude of me.]
Raising his head after a long time, Do-kyung’s eyes listlessly watched the message window.
Today, Seon Woo-min really only chose cruel questions.
