A Lazy Beta Trapped in a Boy Band's Love Triangle

After eight long years as a trainee, a Beta finally gave up and went with the flow. Then the company arranged for him to debut, dropping him into A.O., a wildly popular boy band that had already been promoting for over two years.

A.O. was a mixed-gender group whose members had inspired their solo stans and ship fans to fight on trending topics nonstop ever since the trainee selection period. Its three announced members were:

An Enigma who had been born at the peak of success and would inherit a conglomerate if he didn't bother working;

A stunningly beautiful, genius-faced S-rank Alpha raised in an artistic family;

A genius vocalist, an Omega with a siren's voice, a cold face, and total command of the stage.

The group fans called them the Three Towers: three well-rounded giants with an average height of 189 centimeters.

The older, ordinary trainee with no connections, no gender advantage, and nothing but a lazy fish attitude of a Beta: Me? Join them? No way

Company: You can share the members' commercial deals, and split the income evenly.

Beta: I'm in!

Company: But you'll have to keep an eye on the members. Put young, attractive kids together and things can go wrong easily. A.O. absolutely forbids dating within the group.

Beta: Break up the ships! Got it!

The Beta became the group's leader, and as soon as he debuted, the anti-fans exploded. Solo stans and ship fans were out for his blood.

Sweaty dance practice vlog: E reached out from the floor, exhausted. A, standing nearby, ignored him. B rushed over from farther away and grabbed E's hand, but the difference in their builds was too great. Instead of pulling E up, B fell into his arms. E laughed. A pressed his lips together and reached for B's arm. O came in with a bottle of water and stayed grim-faced from that moment on. In the end, B got the only bottle of water.

B replied that everyone had shared it.

Concert backstage documentary: E, A, and O were all wearing outfits with low-cut backs, while B was covered up from head to toe. The stylist said B had originally been dressed in a deep V-neck with cutouts at the sides, but E wouldn't allow the side cutouts because of the draft, and O thought the neckline down to his navel looked ugly. A had taken needle and thread on the spot and sewn B into a more modest outfit.

B thanked his younger bandmates for their concern and love /heart

Newly released group variety show: A luxurious four-person dorm. On the first night, O said there was a cockroach in his room and knocked on B's door.

On the second night, A said the thunderstorm was so loud his heart was pounding, and knocked on B's door.

On the third night, E said he'd watched a horror movie before bed and was afraid there was a ghost under his bed, and knocked on B's door.

Ship fans: Why is B involved in everything!?

Solo stans: What kind of lame excuses are these!? Since when are the queen / big brother / hubby afraid of bugs / thunder / ghosts!?

The Beta had expected to be ostracized after being dropped into the group, but that never happened. His younger bandmates were all obedient and sensible.

And he diligently carried out the task assigned by the higher-ups: under no circumstances could the younger members date each other.

Until one night, O, who had entered his rut, came knocking on his door, eyes smoldering. “Big brother, I'm so hot. Let me in.”

But inside B's room, A, already in his heat, had gotten there first and made a nest out of B's clothes.

E had just returned from overseas in the middle of the night after a magazine shoot. In the middle of the mess, he was still smiling, but his pheromones quickly took over the entire room, making the Alphas and Omega thoroughly uncomfortable.

Exhausted in body and mind, B was overwhelmed by the possessive scent of white musk until stars swam before his eyes.

Wait, pheromones? Wasn't he a Beta?!

Help! He was going to file a workplace injury claim!
