Chapter 193
Allen furrowed his brow and stared intently at Su Bin, who was peacefully sleeping on the bed. Just moments ago, he had accidentally ingested the “shrinking serum” that Allen had developed.
Half a year ago, Allen had created a strange orange liquid and tested it on some lab mice. After taking the serum, the mice, which were originally the size of a palm, shrank to the size of peanuts overnight! The mice showed no adverse reactions, and the effect of the shrinking serum lasted about 24 hours before the mice returned to their original size. After several rounds of experiments, Allen, unable to suppress his excitement, took the serum home to try it on Su Bin.
However, this serum had never been tested on humans. Although it contained no deadly ingredients, Allen was still worried about any potential side effects on Su Bin’s body. While he was hesitating, Su Bin accidentally drank the serum, thinking it was some kind of drink. Since then, he had lost consciousness and had been out for nearly an hour…
What should he do? Should he take him to the hospital? But what if Su Bin shrinks on the way or in the hospital? It would scare everyone!
If this shrinking serum were to be released, it would be a monumental breakthrough in human history. Shrinking living creatures would significantly reduce the consumption of food resources and space… But Allen had only casually created this formula for fun, and the shrinking effect was purely accidental. He didn’t want to cause any unnecessary commotion.
Just then, Su Bin’s body started shrinking at a visible speed… Allen watched the pile of clothes on the bed and the tiny bulge in the center, his heart nearly jumping out of his chest!
Su Bin felt hot, as though all the bones in his body were melting. Just as he felt like he couldn’t bear the heat anymore, he woke up, but he was disoriented. Where was he? Why did it feel like a huge blanket was covering him? No matter how hard he tried to pull it off, it just got tighter!
“Help… help me…” he weakly cried out, struggling to breathe!
As he tried to move, Su Bin suddenly felt himself spinning in the air. When his vision cleared, he froze in shock—Oh my god, this must be the most terrifying nightmare he’s ever had! What was this enormous face? Was he really awake? Why did this face… look so much like Allen’s? qaq
Allen, who had been anxiously waiting, finally let out a breath of relief. Looking at the tiny Su Bin, freed from the pile of clothes, he couldn’t help but let out a low chuckle. “Scared silly?”
Su Bin: “…” What the hell is going on?!
Allen smirked and said, “You’ve shrunk.”
—A thunderclap out of nowhere!!!
Su Bin blinked a few times before finally realizing that the giant Allen was still standing in front of him. He screamed, “Why did I shrink?!”
Allen: “Do you remember what you drank before you passed out?”
Su Bin: “VC drink?”
Allen: “…No, that was the shrinking serum.”
Su Bin was going crazy. Why on earth was there that kind of thing in their fridge? And it tasted exactly like VC effervescent tablets!
Allen didn’t explain further; he just gazed at him affectionately and asked, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Su Bin: sniffle I feel like everything is wrong with me!! (t皿t)
Allen, amused, said, “Don’t worry, it’s just shrinking. You’ll return to normal in a day. I tested it on some mice before, and they’re all fine now.”
Su Bin: “…” What do you mean “just shrinking”? I’m a person, not a lab mouse! Allen must have planned this from the start! He definitely did!
Just then, Su Bin suddenly felt his body being lifted by two fingers, and he screamed in terror.
“Don’t be scared~” Allen gently placed Su Bin on his palm and brought him closer to his face.
Su Bin barely caught his breath but then realized something even more terrifying—he was in mid-air! (Well, only about half a meter above the bed, but still…)
Su Bin wanted to cry. At that moment, he felt like the monkey in the palm of the Buddha, but unlike the monkey who could somersault for miles, he could do nothing but sit weakly in Allen’s hand.
Allen curled his fingers slightly to form a cup, then gently poked Su Bin’s head with his other index finger.
But just that light poke almost made Su Bin feel like he was going to be knocked over by a giant. He almost cried!
Allen, finding Su Bin’s cute reaction irresistible, couldn’t help but lean in to kiss him. But as soon as he got close, Su Bin, with his tiny claws, pushed against his nose.
Su Bin: “No… no…”
Though the force was negligible, Allen didn’t dare to force it. After all, this was his first time shrinking a person, and especially someone so important to him. The difference in size and strength was so immense. He was worried that if he wasn’t careful, he might accidentally hurt Su Bin.
Allen stopped his hand, amused, and looked at the tiny “cake” so close to his face. “What are you scared of? I’m not going to eat you.”
Su Bin stammered, “Y-you’re too big… I’m not used to it, I feel kind of panicked…”
Allen smiled: “Then close your eyes and let me kiss you.”
“Wuwu…” Feeling Allen’s soft lips brush across his half-sized head, Su Bin froze in fear—the psychological trauma from this moment is real! qaq
Allen, holding him, couldn’t stop gazing at him, his affection growing more intense. He almost wanted to swallow him whole, but he couldn’t bear to. Now he understood the true meaning of “holding in your hand afraid it’ll fall, in your mouth afraid it’ll melt.”
Unable to resist, he gently tousled Su Bin’s hair and poked his soft waist. “Hehe, little thing…”
Su Bin let out a squeal and then realized he was completely naked—Allen had only shrunk him, not his clothes! “Y-you, find me some clothes!” Su Bin shouted, his face turning red.
Allen raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Where am I going to find clothes in your size?”
Su Bin: “…”
Allen chuckled, “So cute, I’ve seen it before. No one else is here, so you might as well not wear anything.”
Su Bin, nearly in tears, curled up and hugged his body. “No… I want clothes…”
Allen laughed mischievously, teasing him for a while before pulling out a tissue. Su Bin quickly grabbed it and wrapped himself up, but the once-soft tissue now felt like “toilet paper” to his tiny body. He curled up, whining and crying out to Allen, “It’s uncomfortable, so rough…”
Remembering that he had silk handkerchiefs, Allen placed Su Bin back on the bed and went to get one for him.
Su Bin, having curled up on the bed for a while, finally dared to look around. It felt like he was in a giant’s world—pillows and cushions the size of small mountains, bedding that stretched out like a desert, and the bed edge towering like a cliff… Su Bin was so terrified that he nearly wet himself, running toward the center of the bed while mentally screaming—Please wake me up, wake me up, wake me up, tell me it’s just a dream! Ahhh! qaq
Allen returned with the handkerchief and also brought a wooden candy box for Su Bin to sleep in. He couldn’t let Su Bin sleep directly on the bed; if he accidentally rolled over, he might crush him.
But when Allen returned, he found the bed empty!
“Su Bin? Where are you?” Allen called out to the empty bed, straining his ears to listen for Su Bin’s voice. Now that he was small, his voice was incredibly weak, but he couldn’t hear anything. “Are you hiding? Come out… if I shake the blanket, you’ll be sent flying!”
Still no answer. Allen couldn’t help but say again, “Or are you planning to wait until I lie down and squish you flat?” He wondered if Su Bin had fallen off the bed. Though his body size had shrunk drastically, it wouldn’t kill him to fall, but it would hurt.
Allen furrowed his brows and began a careful, “carpet-like” search—on the bed, under the bed, he searched for half an hour before finally finding Su Bin in the gap between two pillows—this little guy had fallen asleep while hugging a piece of pillowcase!
Allen was both amused and helpless. He gently poked at Su Bin’s soft body with his finger—seemed like he’d really scared him…
He carefully placed cotton in the candy box and then, taking care not to wake him, put Su Bin inside, covering him with the silk handkerchief and placing the box by his pillow. “Sleep, my baby~”
The next morning, Allen woke up early. He propped his head up and observed Su Bin, still sound asleep in the box. Su Bin had curled up with the handkerchief, his eyes slightly red around the edges.
Allen didn’t have the heart to wake him, waiting until their usual wake-up time before noticing Su Bin finally moving his eyelids and opening his tiny green bean-sized eyes, still groggy—he was too cute!
Allen’s heart skipped a beat. He had never felt this excited about anything before in his life.
“Good morning…”
A gentle voice reached Su Bin’s ears, and he suddenly snapped his eyes wide open. Realization hit—everything that happened last night wasn’t a dream. Su Bin was completely stunned!
Oh my god—I’m really a mini toy now! q口q
Allen, watching the wide range of expressions on Su Bin’s face, couldn’t help but burst into laughter. He extended his finger and poked him, asking, “Did you sleep well?”
Su Bin, curled up with the handkerchief, whined… Ugh, your finger is so big!
Allen, in a good mood, put on his robe and carefully picked up Su Bin, along with the handkerchief, placing him in the palm of his hand. He walked toward the bathroom.
Allen set Su Bin down on the marble countertop of the bathroom sink. After the shock of last night, Su Bin’s courage had grown a little. He curiously observed all the items that were now his size—cups, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and various bottles and jars. He was in awe when suddenly, he felt a chill as Allen took the handkerchief off him!
“What are you doing… ah!” Su Bin screamed as Allen picked him up and dropped him into a glass jar—no, actually, it was a glass cup!
“Time for a bath,” Allen said. Without Su Bin noticing, he had already filled the glass with warm water. He let Su Bin soak in the water while he brushed his teeth, enjoying the sight of Su Bin playfully splashing around in the cup.
Su Bin, feeling comfortable, rested his hands on the rim of the cup. It seemed like being small wasn’t too bad—he could even enjoy a convenient warm bath in the morning!
Only if Allen would stop staring at him the whole time! oo
