The Journey of Love by an Idol

Episode 7's

Flashback to 10 years ago

Daehyun walked to the office of the agency that had been holding him for the past two years before he finally debuted about 8 months ago in a group called Triple Kill.  As always, before entering the agency office, there would definitely be a group of fans waiting for him.

They are not only made up of Daehyun fans themselves but also Triple Kill or other members. Not infrequently, Daehyun met the same fans almost every day. Sometimes he is confused whether his fans have no other job but to follow him or wait for him here.

“Pardon everyone, please keep your safe distance yes. For the prize as usual please leave it at the table. Thank you for the support.”, said one of the Triple Kill Manager protecting his Idol in order to enter the office safely.

Sometimes, if Daehyun was in the mood, he would receive a direct gift from the fans. However, more often he just bowed and thanked her. Especially if he's in a hurry.

Daehyun usually comes last but remains on time. All members of Triple Kill had significant exercise intensity ahead of their gigs. If there is no schedule, they will usually rest at home or some are to the office to take advantage of the facility to make songs.

But, since their debut, they almost never had any free time. Initially, Triple Kill was not so hits and known to many fans like other Idols. Three months after debut, it was like it was back to how it was as if Triple Kill had never existed.

After they brought the second single, their popularity suddenly rose. In fact they become the most sought after event fillers - campus and High School events. They rarely appear on television, but almost every station has their faces attached. Their off-air gig schedules are very congested.

“Hai Daehyun's. Tumben you to the office. You guys still have a gig this week?”, asked a woman who is also a celebrity of the same agency with Daehyun.

Daehyun nodded without making a sound. He immediately walked towards the elevator and went upstairs to the training ground.

“Heh.. was arrogant once he, even though I debuted first.”, said the woman.

“Manager-nim, is it true that Daehyun is close to the actress named Jang Hyun Joo (?”, the female celebrity asked Manager Daehyun.

Daehyun did indeed ascend upstairs alone without his Manager. Daehyun's manager had to stop by the cafeteria first to order some food packages for their lunch later.

It was then that the female celebrity tried to dig up information about Daehyun. Although not yet in the news, but the news is circulating among their inner circle, Daehyun is close to an actress named Jang Hyun Joo ( ⁇ ).

She is a talented young actress who is on the rise through a colossal drama. Although only a supporting cast, but his appearance began to be intense in the last few episodes as a Crown Princess.

Daehyun had never met Hyun Joo at all. However, out of nowhere the news began, now some celebrities such as female celebrities had asked.

“Do not spread fake news. You are a celebrity from the same agency as Daehyun. It is better to pay attention to your attitude and give support to the artist under the same label as you.”, replied the Manager, then immediately go to the cafeteria because he is very late.

He had to order now so that the food could be ready on time. Daehyun has an allergy to certain foods, so he cannot carelessly consume food. Although Jiwoo was very friendly, but she did not like it the most if there were sesame seeds in her rice.

The other three members can eat everything. Their problem is that they eat too much, so managers find it difficult to control their weight to stay proportionate.

“Oh. hyung. You were so long.”, asked Jisu to say hello to Daehyun who just entered the room.

“You came too soon. Look, what time it is. Still another 5 minutes before its time to exercise.”, Daehyun replied.

“He stayed here. So it can come quickly.”, said Jiwoo who just finished from the dressing room.

“Heh? Why are you staying here? You?”, Daehyun said in shock and seemed to have guesses about why Jisu could stay at the office.

“Really? So you cried all night here and stayed?”, asked Daehyun to show an expression of disbelief when in fact since he found out Jisu was dating, he already knew that the ending would definitely be like this.

They have just debuted for 7 months. What will fans do if they get caught dating. They are still onion cubs in the industry, so it is better not to make trouble. I guess - guess the message from their agency.

“Jisu was so drunk that the Manager couldn't take him home. Instead of a picture of him being drunk coming out on the news, it's better to lock him in the office.”, Hyunwoo laughed.

“So we will bring you how many songs on this show?”, asked Daehyun.

“Hm... Manager tells us that they provide about 30 minutes. More precisely they pay a contract for performance for 30 minutes. Of course, they are very happy that we can exceed the contract time.

“Hn.. Then 6 songs along with introductions and a little chat seems to be enough, how?”, asked Daehyun.

“Hm. I agree. We only have 3 songs and 1 single. The rest we can cover songs - songs that are hits at this time.”, continued Jiwon.

“Agree. Won-ah, you don't want to show your martial arts on stage?”, Jiso joked.

“Hyung...”, said Jiwon giving a sharp look.

“OK - okay ha-ha.. Don't upset. I-i understand. I will not make jokes about your karate again?”, said Jisu immediately retreat regularly.

Sometimes he is confused, actually who among them is a maknae. Why does Jisu, who is one year older than Jiwon, always shudder in horror when Jiwon threatens him.

“Hyunwoo, you will still approach the model after seeing the journey of love Jisu?”, asked Daehyun suddenly change the subject.

They are already preparing for training in their respective positions. Jiwon, Jiwoo, and Jisu were arranging their instruments while Hyunwoo had been ready since.

Therefore, Daehyun chose to ask him to speak.

“Oh? Hyunwoo hyung is approaching a model? That's right?”, Jiwon asked in shock.

“You are serious about tuning your instrument.”, Jiwoo interrupted Jiwon's question.

Instead of answering, Hyunwoo just shrugged his shoulders.

“Hyung, are you not approaching anyone? I accidentally heard a trainee chat, you were PDKT with an actress named Jang Hyun Joo ( ⁇ ). Really?”, Hyunwoo asked.

“EEh? Jang Hyun - Joo? The up-and-coming actress?”, asked Jiwon again - again feeling interested in the talks of her hyungs.

“Oh? I just found out I'm on CPA with him? What was his name?”, asked Daehyun like a person who had no idea at all that gossip about him had circulated among the trainees.

“I heard that management is creating a special team to protect the privacy of its artists. You guys didn't hear anything about this news?”, Jiwoo asked throwing another topic.
