How to Protect the Damage Dealer

Despite winning the Low Cup, Taeyang was not only kicked out of his team for assaulting a teammate, but also faced heavy public criticism, driving him to contemplate retirement. As he was wondering how to live off the money he had saved, some crazy guy reached out to him.

Sunflower Slayer: Hyung-nim, you’re Apollo, right?

Sunflower Slayer: I know your secret.

Not only was this crazy guy he met in a solo queue game blackmailing him,

“You didn’t actually follow me into this team, did you?”

“Why do you think I didn’t?”

But he even followed him to a last-place team that nobody gave a second glance to,

“I’ll drink that for you.”

And at a gathering where no one was forcing anyone to drink, he suddenly stepped up with desperate resolve, insisting on being his black knight.

Taeyang assumed all of this was just a twisted form of fan obsession.

“I like you.”

“S-Suho-yah, we’re both guys!”

Until that crazy guy confessed to him.

“Hyung, are you a homophobe?”

“What?”

“Don’t tell me you think a man has to marry a woman, have children, and see his grandchildren? That’s such an outdated mindset these days.”

And he said it with total confidence, no less.

Thus, Taeyang’s world, which he thought had completely settled into stillness, began to shake so wildly it made him dizzy.
