“Aaah.. My body crumpled all the tastes.”, cried Daeun on her bed.
Cringe cring cring
“Aah... It's still early.. Why has anyone contacted me? Come onl.. I am also a human who needs time to rest. Why are you still on the phone?”, Daeun wrapped her body around the mattress and moved left and right.
He tried to avoid the sound of a cell phone that was somewhere now.
5 minutes. His phone still beeps continuously from no one. Daeun tries to wake up from her sleep. She slapped him on the cheek for a while before trying to come to his senses and trying to find where his phone was.
Her eyes were on a pair of jeans she had just put last night in front of the bathroom door.
As Daeun suspected, his phone was already there.
“Yeoboseyo, am I talking to Lee Daeun?”, said a woman across the phone.
Daeun rubbed his eyes and checked the phone.
‘Unknown number’, written like that on his phone screen.
“I'm Jang Hyun Joo.”, said the woman immediately when she realized that Daeun seemed confused.
“Ah.. Oh.. I'm sorry, I didn't have time to save the phone number.. Ah... not I mean.”, Daeun is confused as to what to answer.
‘Who am I to say I didn't have time to save his phone. I really don't want to keep it. No. gabe.. Everything I said sounds wrong.’, Daeun said inwardly.
“Can we meet for a while?”, Hyun Joo told Daeun on mobile.
“Eh?”, Daeun is confused, what business does Hyun Joo want to see her.
A week ago, even though Daeun had been assigned as Daehyun's manager, Daeun could not fulfill it because Bokman Ahjussi had contacted him. He was asked to immediately obtain proof of Ahjussi's involvement in illegal casinos so that the agency could immediately cancel the contract renewal.
Eventually, Daeun took a week off as Daehyun's manager and was replaced by a male manager who had previously accompanied Yoon Ji Wo, the guitarist of Triple Kill, on a reality show vacationing abroad.
Since the filming of Reality Show was completed, she was briefly assigned to replace Daeun.
“Ya.. can you? Today Daehyun has no filming schedule, right?”, Hyun Joo asked to confirm.
“Ah. ne..Where can we meet?”, Daeun asked quietly.

“Hyung, I'm not sure this song can beat our first debut single. Come on, how about we come up with a new concept. I guess time is still enough. It's still about 3 months away, right?”, said Jiwon who whines at her hyung-hyung.
This music genius somehow did not have the feeling to play songs on their album. In fact, the recording process is complete, the MV concept has been completed, only the process of filming the MV alone because it waits for Daehyun's schedule to empty.
“Yaa.. You consider Daehyun. He's filming a drama. He didn't have much time to shoot the MV. Now you want to change the play song. How can it be?”, said Hyun Woo, guitarist of Triple Kill who was holding his guitar.
Today, they should be talking about the arrangement of the songs on their latest album which will be released within three months. As soon as Daehyun finishes filming the drama, they will make a comeback soon.
“I don't matter. We just need another tape. Let the production team re-discuss the MV concept with a new song. I'm also still not sure about the song we're going to choose for the title track. Everything's peachy. It's just.. No special.”, Daehyun who was standing on the table shook his head while playing the pen on his finger.
“Justify hyung. Then it's done, right? The busiest schedule is Daehyun. If he agrees, we'll just have to write one more song. How?”, said Ji Won immediately excited.
“Yes.. Yes.Daehyun.. You think I'm your sister?”, Daehyun hit Ji Won's head gently with his pen.
“Ah. forgive me. I was just too excited to forget to add the word ‘hyung’.”, Ji Won said.
‘Padahan, sometimes I forget he is hyung or not.’, bathin Ji Won in heart.
“Good.. Yaah.. Yoon Ji Woo, can you tell Pilsung Daepyonim?”, Hyun Woo asked glanced at the most famous member among them.
As one of the members of the conglomerate, Ji Woo's wealth is definitely greater than Pilsung Daepyo as the CEO of their agency. So, whatever things they want to decide for themselves, they will definitely ask Ji Woo to tell their CEO.
If Ji Woo had spoken, no one would have been able to refute him.
“Serious talks completed.. Yes.. A daehyun? Are you really dating Hyun Joo?”, asked Yoon Ji Woo.
As a member born in the same year, Yoon Ji Woo can speak more bluntly to Daehyun compared to other members.
“Huh, where did you hear it. Bokman hyung hasn't called me. That means there has been no potential scandal with Hyun Joo that was discovered by the members of Idol Secret Agent.”, Daehyun replied back playing the pen on his finger.
“That means that actually you have a relationship, but have not yet smelled?”, asked Ji su innocently.
“Yaaa... What relationship? He and I both played in the same drama as the lead. No more than that.”, reply Daehyun.
“Yaaa.. before we contract with the agency, we are friends. You'll keep hiding it?”, Ji Woo asked again.
Daehyun was silent for a moment.

A cafe on the edge of the Mall which is also adjacent to the train entrance becomes a suitable place to meet. Moreover, the place is not too strategic. Away from television stations or media offices.
Unlike in general, Daeun who was invited to meet actually arrived first. While Hyun Joo still has not seen the trunk of his nose. Daeun chose to order a drink first rather than her having to wait outside.
“He knows I'm just a regular worker. Why did he choose to meet in a place like this? Look, it's very expensive. Though only drinks like this.”, Daeun comments of course with a small voice on his desk.
It was already 15 minutes ago that he received the menu book, but he still did not make a choice.
“By drinking one glass here, I can eat with full menu for one day. I can even make one snack that I can keep for a week.”, Daeun protests again.
He tried to glance towards the door, hoping that Hyun Joo would come soon. Nil. The girl is still not seen.
‘Do I order? After all, he'll come later. It must be him who will pay.’, Daeun thought.
