"Argh, you little punk. How bored do you have to be to harass the apartment residents until they file a complaint?"
The manager of 12z was yelling at Leo once again for causing trouble.
Even the agency CEO couldn't boss around 12z anymore—they were that big now—but the manager, who had been with them since debut, was like a brother. No, more like a mom.
So he said whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted.
"Hyung, you'd understand if you saw her. It's that feeling where you'd regret it forever if you let her slip away."
'What the hell is that supposed to mean.'
...Not buying it at all. That was the mom vibe too.
Kids never listen anyway.
For the record, the manager had zero dating experience, so he couldn't comprehend that "regret it forever" feeling.
"And aren't I like prime husband material anyway?"
He said it like a joke, but it was true—in Korea, if you lined up all the guys, it was hard to find a bigger alpha in the dating market than him.
Young and rich, the trend from a while back.
And muscled and tall and handsome and famous.
A body honed by years as an idol, a face that got him into the industry, and top-tier fame among Koreans.
He had all the specs to snag a romance webtoon protagonist, no question.
'Top star dating rumors and all that.'
'Kinda curious who kicked Leo to the curb and made him obsessed like this.'
When he was secretly dating a top-star girl group member four years his senior, the manager thought his cover was full of holes.
It was a massive scandal that could've rocked the industry.
Luckily, they dated quietly for about six months and broke up without much fuss.
No official word on who dumped who, but judging by how fine the guy seemed, it was either mutual or Leo who ended it.
'A guy with zero regrets. And he was clingy enough to get a warning from the apartment?'
Damn, now he was curious about her face.
"Hey! There she is, that's her."
Leo pointed her out to the manager.
Right there.
"Holy crap!"
The two were in the apartment gym.
And in walked a woman so stunning she could be called a goddess without exaggeration.
Make that two of them.
One was pretty tall, with hair dyed violet.
Her skin-tight workout clothes barely contained an explosive midsection straining to burst free.
Mids bigger than her head? Was that even possible with Korean genetics?
Her fox-like face looked like it could devour a man's soul whole.
Being eaten by a face like that might be an honor to the family.
The other was quite short.
But she had that soul-stealing vibe too.
If the fox looked like she'd actively hunt you down, this one stirred up a fierce urge to protect—like you'd hand over your heart on a platter.
I'd die happy for this girl.
Pure, innocent eyes that made you want to drop to your knees and pledge eternal loyalty.
A fragile, slender frame that suited her perfectly.
She shouldn't do any heavy lifting!
What if those thin limbs snapped clean off!
What then! What then! I have to protect her!
Princess, just stay put!
I'll handle everything!
Don't lift a thing!
His heart was pounding like crazy.
Thump thump thump, like it was gonna shake the earth.
"I'm Yuk Ain, Team Leader of Miracle Entertainment Management Team 2. Could you spare a moment?"
He snapped out of it to find the manager already approaching them, bowing nearly 90 degrees, politely offering his business card with both hands!
No idea when he'd closed the distance.
He'd been utterly entranced. Completely spellbound.
"Sure, I'll call if I have time."
"Thank you!"
The taller one—tall in more ways than one—took the card, and the manager returned to Leo's side.
Still dazed.
"That was just a polite brush-off, you idiot."
"Huh?!"
"I'll call if I have time."
A classic rejection line!
But he'd been too caught up in the moment to notice.
A veteran manager who'd faced top stars countless times, and he still couldn't pull himself together.
"Not going into entertainment with faces like that is a crime against humanity."
"Right?"
Whatever. The two started their workout like it was nothing, clearly used to this.
More like the bigger one forcing the smaller one to exercise.
Watching them, the manager smiled warmly.
'Big sis looking after little sis? Gotta burn this scene into my eyes.'
Not that he planned to get arrested for illegal filming or anything.
All he could do was etch the moment into his retinas...
"You crazy bastard!"
He smacked Leo's head as the guy tried to sneak a photo.
"I was just gonna snap a pic."
"Your camera was on, dumbass."
Whispering so they wouldn't hear.
Of course he had to stop his artist—his kid and his nemesis—from getting tangled in crime.
Even caught red-handed, Leo quacked back.
"Accidental recording glitch."
"You're hopeless. We're leaving. Now."
"Leaving now would suck big time?"
Leaving meant he couldn't watch them anymore.
"Exactly why we have to go."
Before this pest caused more trouble, they had to bail.
Dragged by the manager's hand, Leo made his exit.
"See? Even the apartment gym isn't safe. The outside world's dangerous."
Seol-ah preaching to Seol-yoon about external threats, after being dragged to the gym to celebrate the weekend.
"You planning to fuse with the house and become a snail or something?"
"Snail might be a bit much."
"Then loosen up properly."
"Eek?!"
Seol-ah was stretching seated.
Seol-yoon pressed her back, and her chest hit the floor flat.
Gymnast-level flexibility that was downright eerie.
Impressive for a shut-in.
'Thinking the old Seol-young was cuter would make me a bad brother, right?'
The mind is ultimately influenced by the body.
The timid, tiny, sickly little sister Seol-young was gone.
Now there was just the huge, healthy Seol-yoon acting like a mom.
'That's fine. Huh? Why are there tears?'
"Unnie! Did it hurt!? Sorry!"
Seol-yoon apologized, hugging Seol-ah tight.
Two mountain peaks asserting their massive presence.
Buried in them, Seol-ah thought.
'This isn't half bad.'
Seol-ah, firm member of team big boobs.
They say breasts promote mental stability, healing, blood circulation, anti-aging—cure-all basically since ancient times.
"Just... got some dust in my eye."
"I'll blow it out! Phew! Phew phew!"
"I'm good now."
Conclusion: little sisters are always cute.
No one would guess Seol-ah was the older one seeing those two.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Currently, the biggest issue in the Teamfight Arena scene—no, in gaming culture at large.
Jeon Jeonseol was a woman.
Even without revealing she was a blinding beauty that could open a blind man's eyes.
Victory, the most popular pro gamer in the world with the most fans.
He'd personally named her his rival.
The one and only super player he'd acknowledged.
That alone drew more attention than most people get in a lifetime.
And she was a girl?
Pretending to be a guy all this time?
Some obvious truths exist.
Women's soccer can't beat men's, women's sprints can't beat men's, women's Go can't beat men's.
Women's Teamfight Arena can't beat men's.
Some insisted it was just a computer game—why couldn't girls compete?
But reality proved it.
No room for women at the top.
Then this anomaly shattered the rule. An irregular.
A monster with hands only 13cm long.
Some argued there was no proof she was a girl—maybe faked like her voice.
But the hand cam impact was too huge.
Girl streamers did the "Jeon Jeonseol Challenge" to verify, and it trended briefly.
Most exceeded 15cm, lowest was 13.7cm.
People could only imagine.
How tiny and delicate Jeon Jeonseol must be.
What monstrous physicality she pulled off with that small frame.

Great voice, tiny pretty hands, game skill goes without saying, rival acknowledged by Victory.
She hadn't streamed since the incident, but her stock kept skyrocketing.
So what was Victory's situation, the one who'd named Jeon Jeonseol his rival?
"You really had no idea that friend was a girl?"
"I swear."
He was getting grilled everywhere.
Did you know Jeon Jeonseol was a girl? Or not?
He was losing his mind over the injustice.
There wasn't a speck of reason to suspect.
Hell, he was the most shocked.
How could a legend be a chick?
'A girl as good at games as me?'
Never even crossed his mind.
Forget girls—no guys either.
Except that one legend.
And she's a girl.
What the hell?
