Chapter 194

Unlike when he released his previous alb.u.ms, Kim JaeHoon didnt partic.i.p.ate in many events this time .

However, this didnt mean that Kim JaeHoon played around all day .

On my dull heart

Inside the empty concert hall of Lunas, he was busy practicing for his concert .

From the moment he heard about the concert from KangYoon, he immediately started practicing . Although the venue was a little too large to be used by himself, his thick voice filled the concert hall .

KangYoon, who was seated in the audience seat, watched as he practiced .

Looks like hes excited .

KangYoon picked up his pen and wrote down many things regarding Kim JaeHoon .

From his physical condition to the things he thought he needed, as well as ideas . His notes were filled with ink .

This was the first personal-scale concert by World Entertainment . It was also the first concert for Kim JaeHoon after many years . It was natural for him to take every little detail into consideration .

I hope you stay happy

The voice faded out .

After the song ended, the blinding white light in KangYoons vision also died down .

Phew .

Thanks for that .

When KangYoon applauded lightly, Kim JaeHoon heaved a deep breath before sitting down on the spot .

Was that okay?

Yeah . It was alright . How are you feeling right now?

Im great . My voice is good and

Dont push yourself too far . We have a lot of time so dont be in a hurry, alright?

KangYoon warned Kim JaeHoon several times, worried that something may happen .

Hearing that, Kim JaeHoon smiled and nodded .

You dont have to worry about me . Do you think Id miss such a good chance because I pushed myself too far?

You strain your voice too much when youre excited . Anyway, dont practice for more than 5 hours a day .

Isnt that too little?

The president was telling him off for doing too much before Kim JaeHoon could say anything, KangYoon shook his head .

I get that youre excited for this, but were doing an endurance race here . Id be in a difficult position if you think that the 2 concerts were doing now are the end of it . If the reactions are good, were going on a country-wide concert tour . You cant push yourself too hard from the get-go, right?

A country-wide tour .

Hearing the ultimate objective, Kim JaeHoons eyes shone and nodded his head .

Okay, boss .

You only call me boss at times like these, huh .

KangYoon stood up with a smile and patted Kim JaeHoon on the shoulders .

Since were doing this . Lets go all the way to Jejudo, yeah? Lets do a world tour next time, too . How about it?

Hahaha . Okay . Ill believe you .

A world tour .

Hearing a dream-like objective, Kim JaeHoon started practicing again with motivation .

After clearing up things, KangYoon quietly left the hall .

Its dark already .

When he looked outside, the sky was already darkening .

He was about to leave thinking that he should go home early today when he came across the manager for the place .

He briefly spoke with the manager .

Is someone in the practice room right now?

Hearing KangYoons question, the manager thought for a moment before replying .

MinAh came during the day and she should be practicing now as well . Shes an amazing girl . She never stops practicing even though its her rest period right now .

Hm .

She practiced more than any other member of her team . The manager wasnt praising her for nothing .

KangYoon looked up towards the practice room .

You want to visit her? She should be practicing right now .

Hearing that, KangYoon walked upstairs .

As the manager had said, he saw Jung MinAh still practicing .

Ahjussi?

Oops, looks like Ive interfered .

Seeing Jung MinAh shocked, KangYoon made a difficult expression .

Ah, d dont look!

She seemed embarra.s.sed by the fact that her make-up was erased due to all the sweat as she covered her face with a towel and left the practice room .

She wasnt like that before

KangYoon laughed before sitting down . Jung MinAh came back soon .

She had changed her clothes and even put on some new make-up .

Youve transformed .

Transformed? This is the usual me .

Sure . I heard that women and make-up are of one mind and body .

What?

Jung MinAh glared at KangYoon .

Oops, looks like Ive interfered with your practice . I should have just gone home

She wasnt like this when she was with the other members .

He was about to speak to her about getting dinner together when his phone suddenly started ringing .

Excuse me for a sec . h.e.l.lo? Who Oh? HyeMi?

KangYoons tone of voice became high as he was in a pleasant mood .

Whos that?

Jung MinAhs eyes narrowed hearing a womans name .

Wow, your number hasnt changed . Oppa, its been a long time, hasnt it?

Indeed, it has been . How long has it been? I think its been more than 6 years, no?

Its probably more than that . I guess we met about twice after I moved companies . And we only met briefly at that . Oh, oppa, do you have some time right now?

Right now?

Now?

KangYoon blinked his eyes several times .

Youre as direct as ever .

Hahaha . Only you can say that about me . Anyway, Im at a charity restaurant right now, so I wanted to see you .

A charity restaurant?

Well, do good things here, eat together and all . I think its a good opportunity .

It was rather sudden, but it didnt seem that bad .

When he asked about the location, it turned out it was a 10-minute drive by car .

KangYoon told her that hed call back after asking the person with him before hanging up .

MinAh . Have you eaten dinner?

Not yet . What is it?

Actually

KangYoon told her about the charity restaurant . Hearing that, Jung MinAh thought for a moment before nodding .

Its a good thing were doing . But my clothes arent really that good today . Will that be alright?

I think you just need to fix your make-up a little .

Sheesh, you really dont understand a ladys mind . Even though youre a G.o.d at music

What?

Is it so hard to say youre pretty . ?

When KangYoon tilted his head, Jung MinAh pouted .

However, she grabbed KangYoons hand .

Lets go then . Im hungry .

MinAh .

Quickly .

O, okay .

KangYoon felt that he had triggered her in a wrong way and left Lunas feeling rather weird .

***

There were over 10 empty soju bottles rolling around in Lee ChaHees small apartment .

Lee HyunAh was in the middle of those bottles and was smiling towards Lee ChaHee with a rather vacant expression .

Nyahahahahaha .

HyunAh, stop drinking .

Its fine . Its fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine~ .

Lee HyunAh was the one who drank most of those ten bottles and was holding another bottle in her hand, and Lee ChaHee tried to take the bottle away from her .

However, they say a drunk person is quite strong .

Lee HyunAh drank straight from the bottle .

Oh yeah .

HyunAh . Stop already .

Its fine, I saaaaaaaay .

Like that, there was another empty bottle .

Lee ChaHee heaved a deep sigh . Seeing that, Lee HyunAh spoke with a sad expression .

ChaHee . You knoooow? Im reeeeeaally sad right now . Just why did a pwetty girl like me get rwejected? Heheh .

Because youre like this .

Youre rwight youre heheheheh .

Lee HyunAh laughed . She had no control over herself .

Although she acted cool on the outside, it wasnt easy to shake off her feelings . Lee ChaHee shook her head .

Yknow~? I eben made a song abwout it! I did!

Yes, yes . Good girl .

Hey! Jus look! Loook,, ergh

Lee HyunAh took out a score from her bag and waved it around in the air before collapsing .

Sheesh . She acted like she was alright, but it doesnt seem like shes alright at all . Anyway, Ill make you pay tomorrow

Glaring at her friend, Lee ChaHee moved her to a safe place that was her bed .

She also picked up the score scattered across the floor .

What score is this?

She looked at the score out of curiosity, but the more she looked, the more shocked she became .

She took out a guitar even though her friend was sleeping right now .

Whoa!?

The melody and the lyrics were very poetic .

Lee ChaHee could not hide her shock as this music was completely different to the songs they did until now .

***

A popular tonkatsu restaurant in Yeonnam dong . This place wasnt far from Lunas .

KangYoon and Jung MinAh found a place where many people had lined up .

It looks like that place .

Jung MinAh pointed forward .

She saw numerous cameras and other video equipment, as well as female celebrities giving out waiting number tickets while wearing maid uniforms .

Wait, this is on camera?

KangYoon stopped his footsteps . Although he came here since he heard that it was for charity, it would be a different story if this was going to be on camera .

Moreover, he was here with Jung MinAh alone . It was the perfect situation for people to misunderstand .

However, Jung MinAh urged KangYoon on as though it was nothing much .

Who cares? Youre a famous composer and we were invited here too .

I really dont want misunderstandings like this .

Ah, sheesh .

Jung MinAh grabbed KangYoons hand before dragging him into the middle of those people .

KangYoon was surprised, but when he came to, he was in the middle of the crowd .

Soon, a lady wearing a maid uniform approached them .

Arent you MinAh-s...o...b..e-nim from Eddios?

Are you JooHye?

When Jung MinAh acted as she knew her, the girl took a 90-degree bow . Her name was JooHye and she was from the group Coinell, who recently had their debut .

h.e.l.lo! s...o...b..e-nim . Were you invited here?

Yeah . JooHye, youre on this program?

Ah, yes . Oh, you must be Muse h.e.l.lo .

h.e.l.lo .

KangYoon greeted her as well .

The people lining up started murmuring amongst themselves while looking at Jung MinAh and Lee KangYoon . They especially seemed to be surprised at how Jung MinAh looked in real life .

They were guided inside the restaurant as special guests .

When they entered, the girl that called KangYoon, Lee HyeMi, came out to greet them . She was wearing an ap.r.o.n and hugged KangYoon as soon as she saw him .

Oppa! Its been such a long time! Oh, my dear oppa!

HyeMi, long time no see! Its been a while .

KangYoon patted Lee HyeMi on the back before pus.h.i.+ng her off lightly .

Wh, wh, wh wha wha! What is that girl!

Jung MinAhs eyes turned vicious in an instant .

Regardless, Lee HyeMi grabbed KangYoons hands and spoke excitedly .

I didnt know you didnt change your number for 8 years! Its so nice to see you . I thought you forgot about me since we havent seen each other for so long . Youre really careless, you know?

No way . How could I forget about you after all that?

Hahaha . Sit down then . Ill cook you up something nice .

Lee HyeMi had KangYoon sit in the best seat . Jung MinAhs face stiffened as she felt she was ignored .

At that moment, one man approached KangYoon . It was Yoo DaeJoon, the main host for the charity program Friday Night .

After politely greeting him, he asked KangYoon about Lee HyeMis connection with the famous composer Muse .

KangYoon thought for a moment before replying .

I used to take care of her as her manager . She was still new back then .

Oh, new, huh? How was she back then? Was she as unruly as she is now?

When Lee HyeMi glared at Yoo DaeJoon with her fist raised, many people burst out laughing .

As KangYoon and Lee HyeMi seemed to be on close terms, Jung MinAhs innards boiled .

This man really

Since there was a camera recording them, it felt like torture for her . Moreover, that woman didnt leave at all .

Like that, the girl named HyeMi went back to the kitchen after 10 minutes of hanging around .

Its nice to see her after all this time .

MinAh, what is it?

What? What about me?

Jung MinAh replied with a nonchalant face, but KangYoon asked again in confusion .

Do you not feel well? Your expression isnt that good .

Its because of you!

However, she did not speak those words .

Its nothing . Ah, Im hungry . President, what are we eating today?

Lets have a look at the menu then, shall we?

Not seeming to notice how Jung MinAh felt, KangYoon nonchalantly read down the menu .

***

A hotel in Shanghai, China .

Thank you for all your work .

Min JinSeo waved her hand at manager Kim JooHwan in the hotel lobby .

Thank you for your work, JinSeo . You worked really hard today .

Its my usual job .

Min JinSeo sighed .

She had a continuous string of shoots to attend to for 3 days straight and most of them required her to shoot through the night as well . She could only return to the hotel late afternoon so manager Kim JooHwan felt bitter about her expression of words .

Tell me if you need anything .

Okay . You should rest too, oppa .

Min JinSeo rarely asked for anything . Manager Kim JooHwan looked at her with pity .

Inside the suite, Min JinSeo, who had just come out of the shower, looked down at the night city of Shanghai .

Its dark .

Now, she no longer felt anything about the night view .

She took out a can of coffee from the refrigerator and sat in front of the computer . Although she didnt usually surf the web, she started searching one term starting some time ago .

World Entertainment

When she entered the term on the web portal, many articles started

Hm? Whats this?

Usually, most of the articles were about how an artist from World Entertainment took first place in charts, but today, those articles werent seen anywhere and a strange article entered her eyes .

MinAh of Eddios (World Entertainment) and Composer Muse . A pink-colored date between the president and employee?

World Entertainment; MinAh and Muses public date?

Date?

Usually articles with question marks in the t.i.tle werent to be trusted .

However, she found it strange that the two people were mentioned on the same line .

MinAh of Eddios and Composer Muse of World Entertainment appeared in a charity restaurant for Friday Night . The two showed a close relations.h.i.+p between employer and employee through a meal, and

Haa?

The article wasnt anything special .

Unlike the t.i.tle, it wasnt anything like a scandal . The article mostly emphasized the friends.h.i.+p between the president and the artist .

However, something DID get on her mind

Wh, why is that unni grabbing his hand!?

Jung MinAh was grabbing KangYoons hand and was making a V with the other hand in a photo .
