The Journey of Love by an Idol

Episode 39's

Hyun Joo really followed Daehyun's advice. He came back and met his manager. He also accepted the photo shoot and will be leaving this afternoon. Hyun Joo again made sure to Daehyun if his words were true and if he could indeed contact her if she felt that this trip had put her in danger.

Daehyun. Hyun Joo smiled and left with his manager.

“I've packed all your stuff. Tickets have been purchased and our flight tonight.”, Manager Hyun Joo told him in the car.

As usual, Hyun Joo sat in the middle and his Manager was to the left of the driver.

“Unni, why have you packed the goods without asking me first.”, Hyun Joo protested.

“Ya. we are too late. You should be there tonight. Tomorrow morning we start shooting. We should have left this afternoon so that the schedule was right. You made me beg the gallery to let you out of dinner together. Now you're protesting that I packed things without telling you?”, the manager asked.

“I told you I don't want to accept this project because I know who that man is. But you didn't listen to me and say I was overreacting.” Hyun Joo said wearing his sunglasses. He didn't want anyone to see his red eyes.

“Therefore you went to Daehyun's agency and went with her? You're really crazy. I thought you just liked it. I can't believe you almost made a scandal with him.” Manager Hyun Joo said.

“I'd rather create a scandal with him than have to create a scandal with the male model. You know, he's a brash guy. Anyway, you have to be with me anytime and anywhere, I don't want to be left alone with him.”, Hyun Joo said this at the beginning according to the advice of Daehyun.

“I won't leave you. You're always overreacting. Since the incident on the set of the drama, how many times have you run away like this. I thought you were in the apartment. I didn't think you were going with Daehyun. You don't know how much I have to beg - beg the manager. Fortunately, he saw you together. If a scandal arises, we will pay the loss.”, said the Manager.

“What if I met Daehyun. He and I are friends. Is it that female celebrities should not just be friends with male celebrities?”, Hyun Joo asked in protest.

“Depends on how your fans think of it. That's the world you're living in. I hope you and Daehyun aren't serious. You have a brilliant future. Don't destroy just because you two want to be together.”, said the Manager.

“Hah.

“Your parents have entrusted you to me. So you should've thought of me as your parents. Oiya.. why don't you say that your apartment is opposite Daehyun?”, said the Manager.

“Hah? How do you know?”, Hyun Joo who had taken a sleeping position immediately woke up again. To his surprise, he also removed his sunglasses.

“Hah.. You're so surprised. All this time how you've been trying to close the meeting the fact that you're in the same apartment. Or don't - don't you do find out in advance where Daehyun lives and takes the same apartment?”, said the Manager.

“No. Although I covered up the fact that our apartment was opposite, but it was purely accidental. When I took the apartment, I was not familiar with Daehyun at all. You also know that we know each other only through the camping outfit photo shoot.”, Hyun Joo explained.

“This time I will hold your word. But, with your relationship that has begun to close let alone have become friends. I suggest you move apartments. If your picture with Daehyun is getting more and more scattered, then sooner or later your fans will also find out if you live together.

“They won't know it. The security of the apartment was very tight. It's weird anyway. We didn't do anything. Just opposite the apartment, why I was told to move. After all, with Daehyun there, when I need help, it will be a lot easier.”, Hyun Joo said back to his position leaning comfortably.

“You really suck.”, Hyun Joo commented, choosing to sleep instead of having to argue with his manager.

**********

“Yaa... Kang Daehyun... You didn't hear me?”, asked Seongmin.

“What?”, asked Daehyun to stop in front of the car park.

“What is your relationship with Hyun Joo, let's explain?”, asked Seongmin to block Daehyun's path.

“Friends only. No more.”, Daehyun replied short, solid, and clear.

“Then why did he run away with you? Still want to say you guys are just friends?”, asked Seongmin.

“I also want to ask you the same thing. Why could he come here asking for my help?”, Daehyun said.

He was faced with a question that he himself did not know how to answer.

“Hah? You asked me when you took Hyun Joo away.” yourself, Seongmin still doesn't want to leave if his question is not answered.

“I really don't know. He came here asking for my help. Maybe he feels among all the friends he has is only me he trusts.”, Daehyun said trying to give a possible reason.

“You think that's an answer? He came here. It means you have a special relationship. Then, why didn't you say that your apartment was opposite Hyun Joo?”, Seongmin asked.

“Hah? How do you know that?”, asked Daehyun in surprise.

“See? You even hid that important reality from me. Hah.. at a time like this where are the staff employed by Bokman-hyung? He should have prevented a scandal - a scandal like this.”, Seongmin said.

“Hyung, there will be no scandal whatsoever. Hyun Joo and I have nothing to do. Just a friend. He was worried about his latest project and asked for an opinion. I just knew him, I didn't know that he thought we were that close.”, Daehyun said.

“This is what I'm afraid of. Anyway I will talk to Hyun Joo's agency and also ask one of the staff assigned by Bokman-hyung to keep an eye on you. Your career as well as Triple Kill have just risen, you must not waste this opportunity by being careless.”, Seongmin advised Daehyun.

The man even patted Daehyun on the shoulder to emphasize for Daehyun to think about and follow the advice from him.

“Hn. Alright hyung.”, said Daehyun wanting to end this conversation immediately.
