Chapter 36 (1/2)

Myo Cheong crossed his arms and told Jino to hurry.

“Now.”

Jino looked like he wanted to cry. He had been thinking what Myo Cheong was thinking. He had his hopes and wondered maybe he had ceased to transform, but he didn’t want to check it now.

He complained and said he didn’t want to transform, but Myo Cheong was merciless. He pressed him a few more times, and then he came to Jino and started to undo his shirt buttons.

“Take off your clothes and lie, now.”

“Cheong, please don’t do this.”

“Oh, come on! Shit!”

But Myo Cheong couldn’t be stopped. Jino grabbed his wrist and shook his head. Jino was most certainly a lot bigger, but he was so small in front of his anger. Myohan went to them, grabbed Myo Cheong’s shoulder, and pulled him to himself.

“What you’re doing is a crime.”

“Oh, stop it! Shit!”

Myo Cheong found himself in Myohan’s arms. He blushed hard and quickly got away. Sajun looked at them with envy. Of course, at the same time, Jagyeom let out a sigh, clearly disgusted. Myohan ruffled his hair and frowned.

“Now, what happened on that day doesn’t matter anymore.”

If even Jino refused to talk about it, there was something. Myo Cheong didn’t want to find out either if everyone was trying so hard to hide it. He had accused Jino earlier because he didn’t like being so agitated, but he didn’t have enough courage to open Pandora’s box.

“Shit, I’ve known you for years now! I know you were lying!”

“Cheong…”

“I must see if you don’t change even when you lie for real.”

Yes, that was what mattered. Jino had lied, but he hadn’t transformed.

“If you don’t change, we might not change too.”

They all got a bit of hope. Maybe, maybe it was happening. Maybe they were about to be freed from the cursed fate and live normal lives. Myohan let go of Myo Cheong and nodded. He was right.

“…You’re right. Jino, go on.”

Now Jino couldn’t refuse anymore. Jagyeom looked at Myohan nervously. But when asked why, he just closed his mouth and shook his head. Jino had no choice, so he started to take his clothes off. Sinsul had never seen him do it before, so he was very shocked. Why is he taking off his clothes? Why aren’t you stopping him? You are all crazy…. He wanted to yell so, but Myohan quickly covered his mouth.

“If he doesn’t, his clothes will be ripped apart.”

“Uum! Umm!”

Sinsul nodded, but Myohan let go of him only when he was almost out of breath.

“Then…”

Now naked, Jino gulped hard. He still wasn’t embarrassed of being naked. Myo Cheong stood in front of him with crossed arms. And because of it, Myohan didn’t know why Sajun was awwing and whistling. He closed his eyes and muttered, “My name is not Choi Jino…”

They all looked at Jino with hope, except for O Shin and Jagyeom. O Shin had his arms wrapped around Myohan’s wrist. He laughed.

“Shit.”

Myo Cheong stomped his feet. He angrily kicked Jino’s pile of clothes.

“….But it worked this time,” Sajun muttered to himself. What was in front of them was a huge horse with a yellow-brown mane.

They really didn’t know why. Jino had remained as a human after lying only a few hours ago, but this time, he transformed the second he lied. So, what was the difference?

“How on earth could Choi Jino lie?” Myohan muttered as he stroked his cat. He kept thinking about it, even after other boys left. “Nothing happened on that day.” It was a lie. “Myo Cheong didn’t transform into his rabbit form.” That was another lie. Jino had lied. As he shut his eyes and blurted it out, he must have thought he was going to transform too. But he hadn’t.

“But the second time, he did change. Why?”
