The Journey of Love by an Idol

Chapter 118 The culmination of the Daehyun Scandal

“Halo? Bokman Ahjussi.”, greet Daeun on her phone.

“How is Daehyun?”, the man asked.

“He is still the same. He spends his time playing games. This morning I saw him finish his meal. I saw some drama scripts open in his room. I asked if he read it last night? He only answered that he was cleaning.”, explained Daeun.

“Hah. Alright. Is there anything strange about him today?”, asked Bokman again.

“No. She asked me to meet Jang Hyun Joo. Daehyun wants to talk to him.”, Daeun replied.

“Is he crazy? His agency alone did not give us a chance to meet. Whahuh? Daehyun wants to meet him?”, said emotional Bokman.

“She knows. He thought that if he spoke directly to Hyun Joo, the girl might be able to tell him the truth.”, Daeun said.

“You know, even some of the staff in the office started doubting Daehyun. Moreover, the people out there who obviously - clearly do not know him. You didn't follow the words, he said, did you?”, asked Bokman.

“Of course not. Maybe he's just tired of all this. Therefore he says so.”, said Daeun.

“Good. You keep a close eye on him. Don't let him out. We can't get out of this anymore. Hyun Joo's agency seems to have roundly attacked and wants to destroy Daehyun completely. We have to prepare for the worst. Two more days, Daepyo-nim and I will meet Daehyun before Daehyun meets the police call.”, Bokman explained.

“Hn.. I understand.”, said Daeun nodding.

The girl then hung up her phone and turned around. It turned out that Daehyun was already there.

“Oh? You awake yet? I'm preparing dinner. It's over soon. You just sit down.”, said Daeun put her phone in her pants pocket and continued her activities.

“I will help prepare his dinnerware.”, Daehyun said offering.

The man moved towards the cupboard and picked up dishes, bowls, chopsticks, glasses, and other supplies. Then, he set it on the table.

“Bokman hyung?”, asked Daehyun.

“Oh..”, Daeun replied.

“What does it say?”, said Daehyun.

“You don't have to worry. All good - fine.”, reply Daeun.

“Heh. I'm not an SD kid. Are they going to dump me?”, asked Daehyun.

This was the first time that Daehyun had shown his baldness. It's been almost 10 days since Daehyun left the apartment since the scandal broke. All the reporters and media gathered in front of his apartment. There were even some who almost made it in by disguising themselves as food deliverymen or repairmen.

They could not use the shipping service at all and asked no one to go upstairs other than the apartment clerk.

However, no matter how calm he was, this scandal had obviously already affected Daehyun. He was threatened not to be able to return to the entertainment world again. Not just a scandal. Daehyun was exposed to a layered scandal that became a potential blacklist.

All Daehyun projects were cancelled. In fact, before everything is officially proven. Now, no one wants to work with him. The band's schedule has also been cancelled except for the internal schedule of the agency.

Daehyun had not even been able to meet the other band members because they also could not leave the house freely. Luckily, not much of their personal information was spread out, so they were more flexible moving compared to Daehyun.

“Ya.. certainly not. Although the agency will lose, they will never throw you away. Even though I'm just working here, I've been a fan of yours for a long time. They won't throw you out. You forgot that the Daepyonim are a conglomerate. After all, Yoon Ji Woo, he is rich.”, Daeun had time to make jokes.

“Heh. indeed he will pay compensation. Hah.. I miss them.”, Daehyun said.

“This is.. Let's eat. Yes.. Daehyuns. You play games all night and sleep during the day? You can get fat. How can you come back and be loved again if you are fat.”, Daeun nagged Daehyun.

************

At the middle table of Daehyun's apartment, Pilsung Daepyo-nim, Bokman Ahjussi and several other staff were already seated. Daeun serves drinks and food. They must come one by one in silence - silent. Carrying food from the outside in large quantities will only attract attention. And so, everything is homemade.

“How about the project..”, Daehyun has not had time to finish his sentence.

Pilsung. He couldn't say it.

“All officially canceled. The agency must compensate for some losses for projects that have been running.”, said Bokman.

Daehyun was frustrated. He just wanted to disappear from this world. Lucky he didn't read all the news. Daeun. If he were to read it, Daehyun might have already tried to do something that many people did not want right now.

“Two more days, Daeun and some staff will accompany you to attend the police call. You'll probably spend some time there. Answer it honestly. Don't try to avoid. Explain all. Don't be influenced by anyone. We have prepared a lawyer for you.”, Pilsung said.

************

Black cars drove through the city streets. Daehyun looked at the street carefully. For a long time he did not enjoy the streets outside.

‘I feel sorry for not enjoying every trip I had outside. Enjoy the fresh air, see the sights, try the food, enjoy the crowd.’, Daehyun thought inwardly.

The police day has arrived. The official summons came sooner but the agency tried to buy time so they could make sure Daehyun's situation and circumstances were stable.

Daehyun wore all-black clothes with a white t-shirt. He was wearing a hat and a mask. As soon as he arrived, Daehyun's car was immediately surrounded by many media and journalists.

The staff that accompanied Daehyun had trouble holding him back. Not only that, there were a lot of fans - fans who stood in front of the police station. I don't know who leaked this schedule. Starting from fans Jang Hyun Joo, fans who turned into anti-fans from Daehyun, and Triple Kill fans who asked Daehyun immediately out of the group. Conditions began not conducive, until, the police had to intervene to mobilize personnel.

Daeun even had to be pushed and hit by a few scratches on his seat out of nowhere because he tried to resist the invasion of people in the direction of Daehyun. Arriving inside, Daehyun lowered his head more.

Right now, regardless of the mistake he did not commit, he still felt guilty towards everyone who had already lost because of it. Daehyun accidentally saw the news appear on one of the billboards on the street. All these accusations are painful. Although he tried not to read it, but still, his face was clearly plastered there.

Daehyun checked for almost 8 hours. He was only allowed to rest when he had to go to the toilet and eat. The rest is a relentless examination. Starting from interviews, lab examinations, captions, and various other types.

It was the longest day ever in his life.

************

A month has passed since the police check-up. Fortunately, until now there has been no information on the arrest warrant received by Daehyun or the agency. Even so, Daehyun still could not get out of his apartment freely.

News slowly - land began to shift on other, warmer issues. Jang Hyun Joo has apparently also stepped down from some of his projects. His recent activities have started a little. Maybe that also affects the dimming of their news.

Although some media are still heavily preaching, but the intensity is not as it used to be. On the internet, there are still many who discuss Daehyun, especially related to some projects and brand ambassadors that he had held before.

A month later it passed again.

Daehyun could already get out of the apartment occasionally. Of course, he couldn't get out in the crowd. At least there is no media in the apartment building area. So, Daehyun can drive his car and go to places - quiet healing people such as mountains, beaches, and remote islands.

He'll be there for a while. Once Daehyun lost contact due to loss of signal. Everyone was worried that he had killed himself. But, Daehyun returned a week later. Everyone closest to him immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Three months later, the decision regarding the Daehyun examination came out. In some samples taken, no drugs were found at all. The investigation has also proven Daehyun's movements are not suspicious and have nothing to do with allegations of drug abuse - illicit drugs filed against him.

Authorities have also confirmed that Daehyun first visited the nightclub and has never been seen in contact with the people who were there.

Unfortunately, the allegations of abuse made against him are difficult to remove from Daehyun's image even though Daehyun's DNA has been proven not to be present in Jang Hyun Joo at all.

The interview results also provide information that the story given from Jang Hyun Joo's side is not consistent. While the information given Daehyun runut. However, even though the press con has been done, some rogue media and opinion polls still cannot make Daehyun completely independent of the accusations.

Some of Jang Hyun Joo's fans gave statements that Daehyun and his agency may have faked the examination. Various other theories emerged and were difficult to contain.

On the other hand, despite numerous petitions filed against Daehyun. The agency still chooses members with Daehyun. Daehyun remains on Xscape Entertainment's list of artists and is still the vocalist of Triple Kill.
