Chapter 235

Raise her to extreme heights?

KangYoon sat down before speaking as he judged that this would take some time to explain .

People become jealous of others that they deem are similar or at a lower level than them . This manifests in an especially dark form in the case of women . However, that changes if the target of jealousy becomes out of reach overnight .

I get it . So then, how are you planning to put her on a pedestal?

With this .

KangYoon opened his social media app and got into Ji YoonSeons page before showing it to Lee HyunJi .

What you need to pay attention to is right below that .

A wedding invitation?

Yes .

Lee HyunJi was confused .

Youre not saying that it would be solved as long as JinSeo attends that wedding, right? This is not right . The journalists might look at it differently .

However, KangYoon shook his head before replying with confidence .

Maybe thats the case if JinSeo is the only one attending . So you and I, as well as the celebrities in the company, will attend as well .

Whaaat!?

Was it really necessary to go this far?

Lee HyunJi felt that this was going overboard for just a friend .

Do we really need to go that far? Its not like our celebrities are free .

It is absolutely necessary .

KangYoon stood up as he continued his explanation .

If JinSeo is the only one attending, then it would be her private matter, but if all of us go, then it would be an official event . That will make the journalists calm down a little .

In fact, they would become curious instead . Just who is that person to receive the blessings of the celebrities of World Entertainment? It turns out hes the older brother of Min JinSeos friend . World attends weddings of an acquaintances family? Looks like they have a harmonious relations.h.i.+p within the company we can promote ourselves that way .

Lee HyunJi was hesitant .

What KangYoon said definitely made sense . However, she couldnt help but hesitate since this would expose their own artists to the public for private matters .

After thinking about it a little, she agreed with KangYoon and spoke .

Fine . Im a little worried, but you do sound right so since were doing it . Why dont we promote ourselves properly?

What do you mean?

a.s.sistant manager Han and Kang that Producer Oh brought are well-versed in promotion and dealing with the media . Why dont you leave it to them?

I did hear that some of them were from the planning team, so they were skilled in that area as well, huh . Alright, Ill leave that to you .

Now that they finished their plan, KangYoon stretched his arms out .

The two returned to the room with refreshed faces .

***

KangYoon and Lee HyunJi did not talk about their plan to the other two immediately .

After that, Ji YoonSeon said that she was satisfied to have become Min JinSeos friend and that she would be fine no matter what happened .

Shes a good girl .

KangYoon could feel that she meant those words .

Lee HyunJi was the same .

After the meal, KangYoon drove Ji YoonSeon home .

KangYoon was in the driving seat while Lee HyunJi was in the pa.s.senger seat, and the two talked about work as they drove .

Seeing the two get along so well with each other, Ji YoonSeon whispered into Min JinSeos ears .

Those two are the president and the director, right?

Yeah, why do you ask?

They look really close . Theyre really on the same rhythm . So cool .

Ji YoonSeon was nicely surprised that a man and a woman could talk so well regarding work .

Uhm, is the director dating the composer by any chance?

(T/N: You stepped on a landmine!)

It was a careful question, but Min JinSeos eyes turned co in an instant .

No, absolutely not .

Haha, absolutely you say

They . Are . Not .

This was the first time she saw Min JinSeos eyes so cold, so Ji YoonSeon panicked a little, but she soon changed the topic .

That director, shes strict when it comes to work, isnt she?

Min JinSeo coughed awkwardly and replied .

Yeah . Those two are the people that raised World to its current status . If the president worked more with music and public activities, director-unni was in charge of office work or getting contracts signed . The president had full trust in what the director did, and the director also had complete faith in what he did .

So cool .

Ji YoonSeons eyes became sparkly .

Lee HyunJi asked, noticing her actions .

Is there anything you want to say to me, miss?

Eh? Oh, no, not at all .

When Ji YoonSeon became fl.u.s.tered, KangYoon laughed .

Sheesh, director . You should go easy on her .

Oh, did I look too strict again? Im sorry about that .

When Lee HyunJi apologized, Ji YoonSeon waved her hand in a fl.u.s.ter .

Not at all! I, Im fine .

Really? Anyway, thank you for getting along with JinSeo .

N, not at all . Leaving her status aside, I became her friend for the person she is .

Then, KangYoon closed the windows and spoke .

I know . Come visit the company some time . Well welcome you .

Thank you .

Lee HyunJi added as well .

Though, the president isnt usually present when people do make a visit .

Hahaha, I guess thats true . Theres the director, though, so its fine .

Ah, Im flattered .

KangYoon and Lee HyunJi joked around .

Min JinSeo also laughed, seeing the two .

Those two suit each other so well

KangYoon and Lee HyunJi .

The two figures were deeply engraved onto Ji YoonSeons heart .

As the traffic was rather bad, they could only arrive at Pangyo, where Ji YoonSeon lived, after driving for quite a while .

Thank you .

Leaving behind Ji YoonSeon, who waved her hand in front of her house, KangYoon and the rest headed to Lee HyunJis house .

After the car gained some speed, Lee HyunJi asked .

JinSeo, did you perhaps get anything from that girl?

Get what?

When Min JinSeo looked confused, KangYoon asked .

Like a wedding invitation .

A wedding invitation? Oh, you mean to YoonSeons brothers wedding? I did hear about it, but I havent heard about the date and place . She did want to invite me, but she said that she felt sorry inviting a celebrity to such a place .

So you did hear about it, huh?

So now they had an excuse to go .

Min JinSeo nodded at KangYoons question .

What about it? Are you planning to go?

When Min JinSeo asked worriedly, KangYoon nodded .

I do .

Do you know the time and place?

Of course . So JinSeo, you should be prepared to go as well . The time is

KangYoon told Min JinSeo the time and place he read on social media .

Okay . So GiJoon-Oppa and I should go together, right?

Ill tell you that later .

Min JinSeo was puzzled but still nodded .

(Yuri-chan)

Summer of 2013 .

This name could be heard everywhere in the islands of j.a.pan .

Even in Osaka, considered to be the second capital of j.a.pan, was no exception, and her songs could be heard in many places throughout .

[Its my song . Hehe . ]

The sky was starting to turn dark and In MoonHee giggled to herself while hearing her own song being played faintly .

Beside her was Producer Tsukasa, who was likewise overjoyed to hear that music .

[To think that the song is still being played in Dotonbori]

In MoonHees songs were still being played in a famous street in Osaka .

This signified that her song was still popular even though it had been two months since the alb.u.m was released .

Naturally, Producer Tsukasa was thrilled .

Listening to the sound of flowing water, she took out her phone .

When she opened up FinesTok, the top chat room had over 200 unread messages .

Jimin-sensei: Have a good day, everyone~!!

Hyuna: Jiminnie, did something good happen to you today?

Jimin-sensei: No~ nothing T^T

Mina-chan: I smell something suspicious .

Im Jennie: Heres miss mina with her conspiracies again~

Mina-chan: Now thats a conspiracy? -_- you wanna fite?

The group chat was named noraebang (Korean equivalent of karaoke) . It was joined by all the artists of World entertainment .

In MoonHee giggled and partic.i.p.ated in the chat .

Me: Did something happen to you today, Jimin-s...o...b..e?

Jimin-sensei: Eh? Nothing happened .

Hyuna: I dont think thats true though

Kim JaeHoon: Its quite noisy today as well

Kim JaeHoon has left the chat

Hyuna has invited Kim JaeHoon to the chat

Jimin-sensei: Nice to meet you~ my name is Lee SamSoon .

Im Jennie: you what?

Kim JaeHoon: .

Perhaps due to the high proportion of females here, there was no end to the chat .

The chat history could be scrolled up almost infinitely . There were many pictures uploaded as well, from photos taken from concerts to just funny memes .

Jung MinAh then chatted .

Mina-chan: who here heard about the wedding?

Jimin-sensei: I just heard from manager-Oppa . I heard it was a brother of JinSeo-unnis friend, am I right?

Im Jennie: Is that someone important?

Hyuna: Who knows Im not sure

Me: A wedding? But wait, everyones going?

Kim JaeHoon: For now, yes . Except for you, Miss MoonHee .

As the topic was about weddings, the ladies chatted nonstop .

Since all the available artists were attending, this was a hot topic of discussion . The chat scrolled down endlessly .

Hyuna: I want to get married too . T_T

Im Jennie: Me too T_T

Mina-chan: So quickly? You should play around some more .

Jimin-sensei: Looks like you want to marry late, Mina-unni?

Mina-chan: Well, if theres someone good, Im gonna get married immediately .

Im Jennie: Right . Mina will probably get married the fastest out of all of us .

Mina-chan: (You cant clap with one hand)

Kim JaeHoon: Im not sure

Kim JaeHoon has left the chat .

Jimin-sensei has invited Kim JaeHoon .

Jimin-sensei: You still cant leave .

Kim JaeHoon: Tch

Me: Marriage, huh uu, I wanna get the bouquet

She was messaging, when Producer Tsukasa tapped on her shoulders .

[Yes?]

[Lets go now . Its time . ]

[Yes . ]

There was an event nearby today .

In MoonHee put away her phone and slipped through the crowds while covering her face with her hat .

***

Sir Ji, I thought just your son was handsome, but your daughters quite the beauty too, hahaha!

Thank you . Your daughter is quite the beauty too, Sir Jung .

Two men clad in suits were exchanging flatteries .

This was a wedding hall with white-colored walls and beautiful lights .

Ji YoonSeon was meeting the guests beside her father, who had white gloves on .

YoonSeon, youve grown!

Hey! Its been such a long time!

She greeted the brother of a friend of hers and gave out drinks to the guests who just arrived . She was very busy .

This was not different from any other wedding .

Until 10 minutes before the ceremony started .

Eunha? Theres Kim JaeHoon as well?

Where? Where?

People suddenly started flocking towards the entrance .

The guests in their 40s and above kept their places since they didnt really care much about celebrities . Still, the younger people caused a ruckus due to the sudden appearance of celebrities .

Kim JiMins so pretty! Her head is as small as a fist!

Kyaa!

(T/N: Its apparently a compliment for your head to be small)

Meanwhile, Kim JaeHoon and Kim JiMin were in a predicament due to the sudden wave of people .

Uhm, Oppa . When is the president coming?

Hell be here soon . I guess thats the one?

Kim JaeHoon led the panicking Kim JiMin to the third floor .

He found a place that said Ji ChangHoon & s.h.i.+n HyeRin . in the lobby and walked towards it .

Whose wedding are they attending? Eek?

Ji YoonSeons younger cousin, who was in charge of receiving the grooms wedding gifts, was flabbergasted when Kim JaeHoon stopped in front of her .

H, h.e.l.lo?

h.e.l.lo there .

Kim JaeHoon smoothly handed his congratulatory money envelope and wrote his name on the visitors list .

Kim JiMin followed suit and gave her an envelope as well .

The younger cousin gave them two meal tickets while receiving the two envelopes with somewhat confused eyes .

Thanks .

When Kim JaeHoon turned around, he saw the grooms family, who were likewise shocked .

They were wondering why such famous celebrities appeared in this place all of a sudden .

Ji YoonSeon was amongst the crowd .

So here you were .

Yes? What?

When Kim JaeHoon and Kim JiMin stood in front of her all of a sudden, Ji YoonSeons eyes colored in shock .

Were here with Miss JinSeo . The others should be here soon .

J, JinSeo is coming? No, wait, the others?

As soon as she said those words, an even bigger ruckus occurred in the lobby .

At the same time, KangYoon, Lee HyunJi, Min JinSeo, as well as all the members of Eddios and White Moonlight showed up .

Th, this

Hyung .

When Kim JaeHoon waved his hand towards KangYoon, everyone came to where Kim JaeHoon and Kim JiMin were .

Ji YoonSeon and her parents forgot to greet them due to shock .

The lobby was filled with people, not because of the groom and the bride, but the superstars sudden visit .

Amidst the ruckus, KangYoon lightly pushed Min JinSeos back so she could step forward .

YoonSeon, Im here .

J, JinSeo . What is all

Hahaha .

JinSeo shrugged and greeted Ji YoonSeons parents .

h.e.l.lo, everyone . Im Min JinSeo, and Im a friend of YoonSeon .

R, really? I, Im YoonSeons father .

Ji YoonSeons father was somewhat flabbergasted to see a superstar he only saw on TV programs standing right in front of him .

Although he had many connections as he was recently successful with his business, he didnt have the slightest connection to the entertainment industry .

When Min JinSeo finished her greetings, KangYoon stepped forward .

h.e.l.lo . Im Lee KangYoon . I guess you can call me in charge of everyone here .

My name is Ji YoungHo . To think that Id see people from TVs like this

We came here since JinSeo told us that shes made a good friend . Where is the groom?

H, Hes in the waiting room . Ive only seen you through a screen, but youre all very handsome and beautiful .

KangYoon shook hands with Ji YoonSeons father before giving the wedding gift money to the reception .

Eddios, Min JinSeo, and White Moonlight all blessed the groom, Ji ChangHoon, and his parents for the wedding .

The people whispered amongst each other, seeing that .

Min JinSeo was a friend of the grooms brother?

Wow, they raised their daughter well, receiving visits from celebrities .

Im gonna post this on the internet .

Regardless of other peoples reactions, KangYoon and the celebrities headed towards the brides waiting room .

The bride was also shocked when she saw KangYoon and the celebrities .

KangYoon introduced himself to the bride, saying that they were visiting as guests of the grooms sister, and made everyone stand around the bride .

Say cheese!

Along with the photographers words, the camera shutter made noises .

A one-of-a-kind wedding photo was taken, with all the celebrities standing around the bride .

Im so envious .

Would I be able to receive guests like them too?

The friends of the bride were very envious .

Just as they became dejected with envy, Jung MinAh spoke to them .

Uhm, why dont you join us for a shot?

Yes!

With the brides friends in the picture, the wedding photo became more plentiful .

The brides waiting room was soon filled with fans as the celebrities started taking selfies with the visitors .

Thank you!

Leaving behind the delighted bride and her friends, KangYoon and the celebrities soon entered the wedding hall and took their seats .

They sat at the front of the grooms side, where people did not usually sit .

KangYoon approached the presenter, who was the grooms friend .

We want to sing a congratulatory song in surprise

He naturally received an OK .

KangYoon gave over a USB containing the soundtrack saying that Eddios will sing one song . Kim JaeHoon and Kim JiMin will then sing another one together .

When he moved around busily, it soon became time .

The groom made an entrance, and after that, the bride made an entrance with her father .

The visitors yawned when the officiant took such a long time blessing the marriage, but they soon focused back when a video started playing .

And finally .

The next segment is a festive song . The groom is a friend of mine, but man, I gotta say, he has a good sister . You wont get to hear this anywhere else . The first one is from Eddios, and the second one will be a duet of Kim JaeHoon and Eunha .

Along with loud cheers, Eddios stood, facing the newlywed couple .

Hey! Drive faster!

Journalist Kang SangTae of Star s.p.a.ce, a celebrity-focused news media, nagged at his junior .

The female junior, wearing gla.s.ses, looked very depressed even while pressing down on the accelerator .

s...o...b..e-nim, well get a speeding ticket at this rate . We got three just last month .

I said Ill pay the fine! Do you think a speeding ticket is a problem right now? Guys from World just appeared! Quickly!

Noo .

The female junior stepped on the accel .

However, a problem occurred .

There was a traffic jam in front of the wedding venue .

G.o.ddammit! Were gonna miss out at this rate! We need to be there before anyone else .

s...o...b..e-nim

I guess theres no choice . Ill go there first, so follow me on your own .

s...o...b..e!

Kang SangTae got off the car in the middle of the road since traffic was backed up and started running .

His head was filled with the word scoop .

If that Kang Ha-In guy is the source, then it must be accurate . You dont want me to write an article about it? Thats like telling me to do everything to make an article .

This was a leak from a.s.sistant Manager Kang Ha-In, who recently moved over to World Entertainment .

He could still see his figure, wondering why the celebrities at his company were attending an ordinary persons wedding . Moreover, he said to not make an article about it with a smile .

Other than that, he was told of this news 1 hour before the wedding; there was nothing else off about it .

He was a journalist who cared about scoops more than anything else .

Wait for me, exclusives! Im coming for you!

His heart was jumping up to his throat, but his running did not stop .

***

Meanwhile, over at World Entertainment .

a.s.sistant Manager Kang sent a message to KangYoon .

He should be there soon .

Thanks for your work, well get ready here as well .

Tell me if you need anything else .

a.s.sistant Manager Kang Ha-In put down his phone on his desk .

The species known as journalists will always write better articles when theyre enthusiastic about a topic . I look forward to what hes going to write .

The salaryman, who finished his work, stretched his arms out, feeling refreshed .
