The Journey of Love by an Idol

Episode 9

Daehyun drove his own private car down the wet road after heavy rain. He was wearing a black hat complete with his nerdy-style glasses. The most powerful disguise trick according to him when he had to go down the street while looking out.

He was looking for a 24-hour supermarket that was still open. The clock has shown at 11 pm and arriving, he wants to enjoy instant food in the supermarket. In fact, Daehyun could have chosen among the many supermarkets along the streets near his agency, but there were certainly many fans who might have known him.

Daehyun's real personality is actually a little different to the imagery he shows in the public. In the public and among fans, Daehyun is known as a vocalist, idol, celebrity friendly with fans, cool, and extroverts.

But actually, not everything is true. Daehyun is dominated by introverted personalities. When he does not want to be around the crowd, he has to spend extra energy just to please them.

Tonight, he had been training for over three hours. His body, voice, and mentality were tired of pretending. At times like this, Daehyun tends to be prone to cold.

Therefore, now he was combing the residential area to look for a supermarket - an empty supermarket. He had been spinning around for an hour but almost all the places he found were crowded.

Tired of waiting, Daehyun decided to wait in a shop parking lot until around midnight for the supermarket to be quieter. At least there will be workers - overtime workers, or who enter the night shift there.

“Do you have no questions?”, asked an adult male of about 40 years old on the 3 people standing in front of him.

Two women and one man. They are three of the 20 applicants who managed to enter the final stage of the interview.

No one answered the man's question. Everyone shut up. They don't answer yes or no. They had already drowned from nervousness with the presence of the man in front of him.

“I asked once again. Doesn't anyone really want to ask you something? This is the last time I asked.”, he said.

“I. I want to ask.”, said a woman raising her hand slowly.

“Hm. What do you want to ask?”, said the man.

“Okay. Interview done. You two can go home. You guys didn't get away. You, come with me.”, said the man to the woman who asked.

Two other people who did not ask questions were asked to leave the room.

“What's your name?”, asked the man when the two men had already left the studio.

“ ⁇ ⁇ (Annyeong hasimnikka), ⁇ (Lee Da Eun - imnida).”, said the woman loudly.

“Good. Your voice is loud enough. You're very critical. You got accepted to work for this agency. Tomorrow morning, you should come to the office around 6 a.m. Go see the HR department, ask for all your needs there and immediately go to the University ----.”, said the man immediately gave the order.

“Eh? Do I know who to see there and what to do?”, he asked.

“Tomorrow, someone will explain it to you. Ohiya, not only you, but also 6 people who are on the same team as you. The Idol Secret Agent team. I can only tell you his name. The rest, you ask me directly tomorrow when you meet the person.”, he explained then sat in his chair, opened the jajangmyeon that he had ordered and ate it,

“What do you need?”, he asked who was still chewing noodles in his mouth.

“Eh?”, Daeun was very confused because the man only gave her half-and-half instructions.

“What else are you doing here. Go home, rest, and come back here tomorrow. Where's your house?”, ask again.

“I rented a studio in the ---- .” area, Daeun replied quickly.

“Hm.. great. You have to exercise a lot in order to get to the office quickly.”, he replied.

“ ⁇ (Kamsahamnida) , ⁇ (Kamsahamnida). I will work hard.”, Daeun said in a firm and enthusiastic voice while bowing her body.

He walked out of the man's room. Not to forget, outside he immediately shouted ‘Yessss.’. He did not even forget the movement of his hands clenched upwards.

As he did so some of the agency's celebrity people who were probably passing by saw him. They look at him strangely. Including two members of Triple Kill. Jiwoo and Hyunwoo were walking over while discussing something.

‘Oh.. this is impossible. I've earned. I didn't think I could get it. Means, is it possible that I could meet Daehyun again. Aaaakkk not only just now I've met her sight. Hm... how could he know me one day?’, Daeun's shadow has gone where - even though he has not yet started his work.

‘By the way - by the way, the name of the team is very childish - very nice. Did he say ‘Idol Secret Agent’? Did he seriously say it like that? I just misheard ya. Ah no.. He really mentioned it like that. What is his job yes.’

‘The way he receives employees is also quite unique. Imagine if I hadn't asked a question, maybe I wouldn't have been chosen like the person I was. What does. I thought he was gonna ask me about my school history, or something. But, no. He didn't ask that at all. Bizarrely. Ah maybe it's the recruitment system at Xcape Entertainment.’
