The Journey of Love by an Idol

Episode 23

“Daehyun-shi, why did you interfere. If anyone recognizes you, how? You will get into trouble.”, instead of thanking as expected by Daehyun, Daeun is angry - angry at him.

“O-oh? Why are you angry - angry? Though I helped you.”, Daehyun yelled.

They are now stopping in front of a mini market. (Fun Fact: This is the same minimarket, where they met at the time.

“I can face it myself. After all, since when are we so familiar that we are willing to come down and help me?”, Daeun is still trying to clean her jeans from dust.

She was pushed by one of the female students and made her fall into the street.

“Yaa.. one more. Why do you keep calling me Daehyun-shi, didn't I tell you to call me ‘Oppa’, wait.. I mean ‘Hyung’. ‘Oppa’ too laughable.”. Daehyun.

“Good ‘hyung’. You don't want me to call you ‘Daehyun-shi’ because Jang Hyun Joo, that beautiful actress called you the same call, right?”, she said, daeun said he was still busy cleaning up the dust - the dust stuck in his jeans.

“Hn.. that you know.”, reply Daehyun.

“I'm not used to. “, said Daeun. His voice was starting to slow down now.

“Makanya get used to. From now on.”, Daehyun said.

“Baiklah .. alright.. Now what do you want? Why stop here?”, asked Daeun confused.

“Where's your house? You said your house wasn't there, but you were waiting for the bus to go to your house.”, Daehyun asked.

“Ah.. oiya, they didn't see your face just now right? I was worried that they might recognize you.”, instead of answering Daehyun's question just now, Daeun asked a question back.

“No. He won't recognize me. How can they recognize, I use a hat and a mask. I also wear a jacket. Never mind, now tell me where your house is. I will take you.”, Daeyun said.

“Hm..Thank God they don't recognize you. For a while, you should not use a hat and mask around the place. At least for a month. If Seongmin oppa finds out, he will definitely scold me.”, Daeun said.

Again, he did not answer the question.

“Hei..Did you hear me not? I have asked you many times where your house is but you did not answer it.”, Daehyun said.

“You only asked twice. I can go home by myself. Thank ye. You don't need to drive me.”, Daeun took off her seatbelt and was about to open the door. But Daehyun has not yet unlocked the key.

Daeun turned her head back to give her a look as if she had instructed the man to open the car door for her.

“Where is your house, I said I'd take you. Be prompt. Don't waste my time. Tomorrow I still have to practice for our latest album.”, Daehyun put on his seatbelt again.

He was also about to help Daeun to put on her seatbelt as the space between their faces began to thin.

Deg.

Daeun immediately rewinded herself after pushing Daehyun away.

“Hah... What are you thinking? What do I want to do?. I just want to put your seatbelt on so you can go home soon and not talk much anymore. You pushed me instead.”, Daehyun protested.

Daeun's face was instantly red. He was ashamed to have thought that was not - no. As far as possible, Daehyun is an artist. Idols.

“My house on the Road ………………….. You just have to walk straight and turn right in front and then go back straight until you meet the fork. I'll go down there. My apartment is not far from there.”, Daeun is already too nervous. He wants this to be over soon.

Better for this time, he let Daehyun to drive him. After all, who would have thought a celebrity like Daehyun would drive him home.

“Hm.. straight, turn right, then straight until meeting the crossroads. Don't tell me you live in an apartment .................... “, Daehyun said suddenly excited.

“Oh? How do you know?”, Daeun wonder.

“Ahahaha. It was my apartment when I was in High School.”, Daehyun replied. It is like remembering the past.

“Oh.. You don't live with your family? Isn't the apartment there more like a studio? Just for a place to stay one person.”, asked Daeun astonished.

“Hm.. I've been living alone since I was in High School. My family chose to move abroad. But I don't want to. So, since High School I've been living alone.”, Daeun gives a look of admiration to Daehyun. He thought the man was living with his family.

They are the new band idols, so not much information has been released by the agency. Plus, the agency also heavily protects the privacy of its artists. Wasn't it because of that, a ‘Idol Secret Agent’ squad like Daeun was hired.

“Why? You were suddenly amazed by me after knowing that I live alone and have been independent since SMA.”, Daehyun said immediately concluding the expression given by Daeun.

“Hm. But not as admirable as that.”, Daeun said. He's not flirting, but he is.

“Oh? When you were cooked omelets by your parents, I cooked my own omelets. I'm sure, a woman like you must still be escorted to school, right?”, Daehyun said.

Daeun.

“No. I don't live with my parents. It's been a long time.”, Daeun replied.

“Oh? Oh? Sorry - sorry.. I don't know. Are they gone?”, asked Daehyun directly carefully.

He had not expected at all that Daeun's parents were no longer around. He immediately felt guilty for saying no - no.

“Hm. I don't know them. I don't know if I was born from a woman's womb or fell from the sky. I never knew who my parents were.”, Daeun smiled saying so.

Yep. Smiling outside but crying inside.

“Eh? What do you mean?”, Daehyun swallowed his saliva. It seemed like he had already brought up a sensitive topic that he should not have touched on at all.

Daeun shrugged her shoulders. He doesn't know either.

"I don't know either. Haha.I've lived in an orphanage since I was a baby. They don't keep my parents' data because they don't know it either. I was found by the police who were patrolling around the housing. Right on the side of the road. Without information. Without name. Since no one felt the loss of a child, I was entrusted to the nearest orphanage. Wishing someone would look for me" Daeun said.

"He-he turned out that until I graduated high school and had to get out of the parlour, no one was looking for me" Daeun said.

"Hem.sorry, why did I tell him, yes." said Daeun scratching - scratching his head that did not itch.

"I should be the one apologizing. I shouldn't judge a person by his outer skin alone. Once again I apologize", said Daehyun felt bad.

"Ah. it's okay - what. I'm glad I managed to tell someone else. At least they know it not from gossip. I told it myself. Thank you for hearing that. Hum. It's late, we better go home" said Daeun looking at her watch which showed it was very late.
