Strategic Mating Partner Chapter 109

Of course, if you were going to cause trouble, it wouldn’t matter if it was day or night, but right now, too many people were actively awake. Even in the next room, the sound of singing, like that of drunk people, was echoing in a language he could not understand.

“So I can only look?”

Sejin said in a disgruntled tone, as if disappointed. Of course, my heart wants to do more than that as much as possible. But still, what can’t be done, can’t be done. Taehyun couldn’t have been more glad that in just a few days, his competition would be completely over, even before Sejin’s.

“Just wait a little. It’ll all be over within a week anyway.”

Of course, the Olympics would continue even after Taehyun and Sejin’s competitions were over. But it was natural to feel much more lighthearted after all the competitions one had to participate in were finished. It was the same even for athletes who were not planning to retire after the Olympics.

“It’s unreasonable that I can’t even touch you when you’re right in front of me. Why don’t we just lower our pheromones and….”

Ah, really. I’m trying to hold back as the elder(?), but are you going to keep fanning the flames? Taehyun was about to cover his mouth, but instead lightly kicked Sejin’s shin.

“I don’t want to get kicked out for public indecency just yet, you know? I’ll contact you after it’s over tomorrow.”

When Taehyun flatly refused, Sejin, droop, nodded with a dejected face like a scolded puppy. His disappointed look was also cute, but still, what can’t be done, can’t be done. It seemed like giving in to all his whining would also spoil him, so it wouldn’t do. For the sake of their future(?) romantic relationship, and for the sake of the married life Sejin was already getting his hopes up for, he needed to be a little stricter.

Finally, having made up his mind, Taehyun quickly exited Sejin’s room. If he stayed any longer, it felt like the patience that was barely holding back his impulses would be completely worn out. The hallway was still in a boisterous festive mood. As soon as Taehyun appeared in the hallway, gazes from here and there were drawn to him. Some were subtly paying attention to Taehyun while pretending not to, and then turned their heads the moment Taehyun looked in their direction.

‘Well… I’m used to a lot of people recognizing me, but….’

For some reason, it felt strangely different from before, but it was difficult to pinpoint a clear difference. Is it just me being worried because I feel guilty? By the time he returned to his assigned room, after taking pictures with other athletes he met in the hallway and exchanging social media accounts, it was already midnight. Even though it was late at night, the athletes’ village was still in a commotion. Well, since they had accommodated young people from all over the world with boiling blood, it might have been impossible to prevent this kind of chaos from happening every season. Taehyun fell asleep listening to the slogan, which was probably a kind of toast, that echoed thunderously in a foreign language.

And while Taehyun was unaware, a post from an unknown author was briefly posted on an anonymous site and then disappeared.

[Title: If you see what famous athletes do behind the scenes, it’s much dirtier than you think]

I applied to volunteer this time and am working as a staff member right now?
It’s much dirtier than you think and it’s a real animal kingdom lolololol
It’s a given that they date around amongst themselves, and the alphas and omegas just sleep with each other like crazy to lower their pheromones
If they’re even a little bit famous, they have a lot of acquaintances who set them up with celebrities, so they really date around within their circle
Don’t have any fantasies just because they appear on TV a lot and manage their image as well-mannered. They’re fuckers who play dirty as hell
That’s why they only crawl out for variety shows and can’t even win a single Olympic medal

└└ Anonymous: There’s no way you can’t tell who this is targeting lolololololol

└ Anonymous: It’s science that people get a complex when a handsome man with a good body is also well-mannered.

└└ Anonymous: Just curse him to have a small dick instead lolololololol

└ Anonymous: Why do anonymous haters, when a national athlete is doing well in an international competition, bring up unfounded rumors and cause trouble instead of cheering them on??

└└ Anonymous: No, even if he does meet a lot of people behind the scenes, different from his image, what’s the problem? He’s an adult lolololol why are you making a fuss about them meeting each other

└└ Anonymous: It’s common for omega-alphas to find partners to control their pheromones, it’s not really regulated but I guess it’s not recommended because of hygiene and ethical issues

└ Anonymous: Did the entire fandom of “that athlete” mobilize in the comments? Just like an athlete who lives off their popularity, look at them shielding him lolololol

└└ Anonymous: No, if you create a righteous image on the outside and then gossip behind the scenes, isn’t it natural to get cursed at?

└└ Anonymous: What are you going to curse him for without any evidence? Is it a crime of being offended that a rumor spread about him being promiscuous despite his righteous image?

└└ Anonymous: Why don’t you apply the crime of being offended because his dick wasn’t small when it was supposed to be, lolololololol

└ Author: No, you fuckers, who do you think is getting a complex about him being popular? Isn’t it a problem because he’s doing that shit even in the athletes’ village?

└└ Anonymous: Huh, in the athletes’ village????

└└ Anonymous: ??????

└└ Anonymous: So you mean he seduced an ordinary person and let them into the athletes’ village?

└└ Author: No, that’s not it, but is it right for them to do that amongst the athletes in the athletes’ village and then manage their image on the outside and appear on TV, that’s what I’m saying

└└ Anonymous: If they’re doing it amongst the athletes… doesn’t the Olympic Committee just provide condoms and stuff anyway? Isn’t it just something they’re doing within a predictable range…

The author, perhaps disappointed by the rather different reaction than expected, soon deleted the post and disappeared. However, rumors spread faster than the truth, and the more unfounded a rumor is, the more sensationally it is twisted and developed, so a story different from the original content began to circulate. An athlete, who had appeared on variety shows several times and was famous for his good image, was actually a piece of trash who had many partners and was a two-timer. The person identified by the hint from the original post was in a position that received a lot of attention, so the baseless rumor began to spread like wildfire.

However, since no other exposé or credible evidence was uploaded other than the post that was briefly posted and then deleted, the rumor seemed to be dismissed as just a rumor. But it was inevitable that a ridiculous image was imprinted on some online community users due to the minor incident.

Don’t just keep it to yourselves, let me know too

└└ Author: So who is it?

└└ Anonymous: The hints have already been circulated, if you still don’t know after reviewing them, just go

└ Anonymous: Are you talking about the emperor of the night who has thirty celebrity sex partners and does it with five omegas at once?]

└└ Anonymous: What’s this now lolololololol

└└ Author: Really?????? Fuck?????

└└ Anonymous: As if, fuck

Everyone was, of course, aware that it was an unfounded rumor, but a meme had already been created. Some were openly replacing Taehyun’s name with nicknames like [NightEmperor] when talking about him. During such an important time, Taehyun, who was living a life far from the internet world for fear that his mentality might be shaken by seeing a mocking post, was completely unaware of this.

Acquaintances who were not participating in this Olympics burst out laughing when they saw the ridiculous rumors, but no one had yet come forward to tell him first. It was better to keep their mouths shut than to make him worry about a baseless rumor during the most sensitive and important time. However, one thought began to take root in everyone’s minds.
