The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era [BL]

Chapter 445 - 445 WULF WATCHING (II)



445 WULF WATCHING (II)

WULFRIC’S brows furrowed deeper and deeper as he continued to watch that part. His annoyance level was also rising faster and faster. It became even worse when the emcee insinuated that there was something going on between Aster and that Wells guy. It didn’t help that the latter seemed to really think that Aster was trying to exchange their dishes because he was worried about him.

Because of how Wulfric had only been watching Aster, he saw how the other’s expression changed when he saw the fruit filled with grapes. It happened in just a fraction of a second, but he clearly saw the horror in those black eyes. The thought of eating those grapes horrified Aster.

Wulfric didn’t know why the other would feel that way. But he was sure that that was the case. And it’s definitely not because Aster was worried about the Wells guy.

That’s why, aside from the irritation he felt watching that part of the quiz show, he was also curious and, at the same time, very worried. Because it was the first time he saw that kind of expression on Aster’s face. It was the look of true horror.

He had seen him act afraid first hand. Like when they first met and Aster had to act scared just so he would lose interest in him. Not a proud moment for Wulfric, he must admit. There was not a time since he and Aster made up that he wished he wasn’t so much of an asshole on their first meeting. But things had already happened. Crying over it would just make him look more of a loser than he already was at that particular moment.

Anyway, the point was, he had seen Aster acting scared up close, so he knew that when the other saw those grapes, he was genuinely terrified. The question now was, why?

Of all the fruits in the universe, grapes were one that didn’t look or smell weird. There’s really nothing about it that screamed ‘fear’. He could only think of two reasons for this. One, Aster had a health condition that prevented him from eating grapes. Or two, he experienced something traumatizing that involved the said fruit.

Either one of those was a cause for worry.

Wulfric shook his head.

…..

If he continued to worry like this, he would definitely end up overthinking. Maybe by the end, his brain would make himself believe that Aster had some kind of incurable disease. Which in turn would cause him to panic, and the first thing he would do was definitely abandon his current mission and just go to where Aster was.

That would be a total disaster. So, it’s better to just ask Aster the real reason why he was afraid of eating grapes.

After making that decision, he continued watching the quiz show.

Aside from that one moment between Aster and the Wells guy, the rest of the show continued to be entertaining.

At the end, the one who won was the Wells guy, with Aster coming in close second. The difference in their points was just a single digit. The one who got the main penalty was that girl who was first penalized.

Since it was the main penalty, it was much worse than the other penalties the four did during the whole broadcast. She had to dive into a human size box filled with bugs. The girl burst into tears the moment he saw the translucent box filled with creepy crawlers.

Wulfric didn’t understand why the other would cry over that when she would be wearing protective gear. It’s not like she would dive there naked or something. Since he’s not interested watching her, and Aster’s screen time was already over, he stopped watching and just head over [Cyberspace].

The setting of his [Cyberspace]’s feed was that it would automatically show him anything related to Aster. The first post he saw made him frown again.

It was a screenshot of Aster and that Wells guy looking at each other during the quiz show. It would be fine if it was just that, but the caption was what really pissed him off.

[Just look at how they gaze at each other. They look so perfect for each other, right?]

What kind of bullshit? The two of them just freaking glance at each other. What perfect? The following comments below it annoyed Wulfric even further.

[Yes! They really match!]

[I’m a fan of Yujin. I didn’t really like Astrid at first because I felt like he’s a hindrance for Yujin. But watching this episode of <Penalty Quiz>, I change my mind. Instead of thinking of Astrid as Yujin’s rival, I think I will now think of him as his partner.]

[I really like their chemistry in this episode of <Penalty Quiz>. Would we see more in <The Great War>?]

[They’re playing as siblings in the <The Great War> though.]

[They’re only half-brothers, that’s fine.]

[But isn’t it an open secret in <The Great War> fandom that Luan and Caesar have a thing? Then, Astrid and Yujin wouldn’t have that much sweet scenes.]

[Hey, don’t ruin our fantasy! This thread is about Astrid and Yujin, don’t insert someone else.]

[You know, what if Astrid and Yujin actually fell in love during the filming of <The Great War>?]

[Oohhh… I think that’s possible. Can’t you see the way they interact in this episode? It’s very different from the way Astrid interacts with Lauren.]

[Right? Yujin must be special.]

Okay, that’s it!

Wulfric couldn’t take it anymore and commented under the thread.

[@astridsnumber1fan: Can you people not always ship Aster to every person interacts with? Can you imagine how uncomfortable he would be after reading the things you post about him and the people you ship him with? Was there really a need to give a different meaning to every action he makes? What if he started to become conscious of his every action because of all these ridiculous shipping ideas you people have? Then, it’s all on you!]

And once again, Wulfric started another bout of ‘protect Aster at all cost’.
