Chapter 408 – #61. Meal (1)
When an unexpected problem broke out, the members came together during the vacation.
“How are you, brother?”
“Huh. You played well.”
“I think he played really well. His face is shiny.”
“This older brother was shiny from the beginning.”
“That’s right.”
As if to say hello, I talked about what happened while I was on vacation after hearing a short review of my face.
It is a carefree attitude that no one would think that a big deal had happened.
However, this attitude would be manners for Juni.
Although it looked calm on the outside, it was not so on the inside.
“I gained a lot of weight because my mom fed me a lot. How do I subtract this?”
“You have to work hard. Those two have gained a lot of weight.”
“As I always say, your cheeks are breast meat.”
“I’m an adult now too?!”
“Anyway, Jun is you. Why don’t you talk You should tell me how you spent your vacation.”
The members’ eyes carefully focused on Juni.
Everyone carefully waited for Juni’s mouth to open.
“Traveling with my girlfriend… I’m gone.”
“Oooool~!!!”
“Hey~ I heard that a calm cat goes up to the stove first. That word didn’t come about for nothing.”
“How did you meet your girlfriend? Looking at the picture, I don’t know who we know.”
“Actually, he is my childhood friend. We’ve been friends since we were very young.”
“Omg!! Childhood friend!!”
“Ohhh~ that’s exciting.”
The members’ reaction.
Jun spoke in a slightly stronger voice, as if he was encouraged by the non-negative atmosphere.
“Yeah, but we’ve been friends for quite some time. She hadn’t been dating for a while. I guess I got a little nervous because I was busy and couldn’t see my face often.”
“Have you confessed?”
“Yes…”
I was ashamed, but my voice kept getting smaller.
I said that cute, innocent reaction was giggling.
“It’s been a while since we’ve been dating, so you got caught?”
“I never imagined it would take so easily. I went there very carefully. To think there was someone watching over me…”
“I thought the reporter who caused the scandal was of poor quality. She probably didn’t have to post that picture, but the fact that she wrote such a provocative picture makes sense.”
It’s also creepy that she took a picture while secretly watching them kiss, and she even wrote an article about it.
It was an act that could not have happened if he hadn’t had the malice of wanting to embarrass Juni.
“I must have felt really bad after reading the article. It’s creepy.”
“How is that a journalist? A stalker.”
“Can’t I report you as a stalker?”
Joon-yi watched us talking and said while crying.
“I thought everyone would be mad. Because I was careless and there was a scandal at an important time.”
“Who is angry with me? Are any of you angry about this?”
“No!”
“Doesn’t exist.”
“I told you. Love is actively in favor. Could it be because an artist doesn’t know love? And if you’re going to be angry about this, it means you’re dissatisfied with me.”
These were the words of Zeki, who confessed to a woman (Melissa) in front of us and got dumped, and who might one day have a good relationship with Rosalyn, the composer of Exmon, if not yet.
“No! There is no such thing, brother!”
Of course, Juni jumped up and shook her head.
I gave Jackie a thumbs up as if he was nice to her and patted Junie on the shoulder.
“So are we. No one feels sorry for you. So, cover your shoulders and sit down. If you do, I will run out of the hallway you were trying to enter.”
“Yes. Thanks bro Thank you everyone.”
“Anyway, is that why you dated your childhood friend?”
“Huh. I have communicated the situation to the company.”
That’s what we’re most worried about right now.
What response does the company show?
“Have you not been told what to do?”
“Yeah, you haven’t said anything yet.”
“I will be very worried.”
“What if I told you to break up like this?”
“Ah~ that’s not it!”
“There’s no way the agency would do that, and we’ll all be against it if it really comes out that way.”
“Thank you.”
A few hours of waiting for everyone to quietly get impatient while having a conversation.
Finally, the company called us in.
“Why are you all gathered? It’s a vacation.”
“Jun hyung is in trouble, but he can’t rest!”
Ki Woo-yeon was wary of the staff and prepared to take Joon’s side.
The staff seemed to have read our concerns and said with a cute smile.
“It’s good that there will be no rumors of discord in our group for the rest of our lives.”
“How have you been?”
“Did the official article go out?”
“Yeah, I just left. I decided to go towards acknowledging Juni as he wanted. And the pictures will go down fast. I thought he was prepared because he took such a picture without prior notice, but when he recognized it, he said it was a mistake made by a rookie.”
“A mistake the rookie made?”
“It was on that side. Our rookie took a picture and was so excited that he wrote an article using such a picture without knowing anything. I mean, I’ll get off right away.”
“Do you believe that?”
“Of course I don’t believe it! Bogs…”
The staff swears as they grind their teeth.
“They are lambs. If you want to take down the picture, you don’t want to get entangled in legal matters.”
“Is that why you said you would?”
“I think I ate sweet potatoes!”
“I don’t like it when you just look at me like this!”
“I followed you around like a stalker, but you can’t punish me?”
“Are you a journalist? Absolutely creepy.”
In response to the strong protests of the members, the staff said.
“Do you think our company is weak enough to be beaten by such a bully? Of course you wouldn’t have gotten a deal like that. It’s a pity for the new reporter, but I’m going to step on it very properly. In addition, the company was also put on the blacklist. In the future, reporters belonging to that company will not be able to properly report anywhere they go?”
Journalists and entertainers are close to each other yet distant.
It is necessary to stay close to the reporters to promote the singer’s comeback, but it was also the reporters who informed the singers’ deadly scandals like this one.
For this reason, companies as large as Honey Enter create a lot of friendly reporters and use them to protect their singers.
Why would many aspiring idols want big companies?
And why do small companies have no choice but to disband after debuting idols without succeeding.
That was the power of ‘publicity’.
And the power of that ‘publicity’ comes from the reporters who manage it.
“Is your company a big place?”
“It’s been around for quite a while, but it’s such a garbage company that it’s on the verge of going out of business. Maybe that’s why I made an irrational number this time.”
“Then wouldn’t it be useless to put the company on the blacklist?”
“Of course, I included all the reporters from that company on the list.”
In the past, it was difficult to create a press company because you had to publish your own newspaper.
‘Then, when media outlets in the past asked if it was normal, they had no choice but to answer no.’
In any case, it was not uncommon for Internet media outlets that were created in such a haphazard fashion to shut down and run away when complex legal issues became entangled.
But later, as time passes, he will change his name and do the same thing again.
It is said that the process of establishing an online media company is gradually becoming more difficult, but so far it does not seem very effective.
Honey Enter employees couldn’t have known that fact, so the company punished them as they did and meticulously kept a list of reporters.
“They are strong and weak again. Since we went out without a second thought, the picture was immediately taken down.”
It’s fortunate that the company took care of the handling of reporters who uploaded such photos…
“Then what am I supposed to do now?”
Juni asked the staff if he had the same thoughts as me.
“Nothing. For the time being, it is our job to avoid reporters and rest.”
“Are you taking a break again? Are you doing nothing? Shouldn’t we apologize to our fans?”
“Dating is not a sin. You don’t have to apologize for that part.”
“Right, and wouldn’t it be better not to go to the fancafe now?”
Juni seemed to want to apologize to the fans.
However, entering the fan cafe now was something I was against.
How many fans would not be agitated by the article about Joon-yi admitting that he was dating?
The fancafe is probably upside down right now.
Seeing that was too harsh for Juni.
“So are the other kids. I want you to stay calm in your dorm without going anywhere. For the time being, reporters will follow you guys.”
“Yes, got it.”
“So this is the end? Did I do nothing?”
With a puzzled look on his face, Juni repeatedly asked the staff member if there was anything he could do.
She somehow wanted to take responsibility for what she had done, but it seemed frustrating that she didn’t have to do anything.
“Then why don’t you try writing a letter?”
“Letter?”
“Ah, yes. The letter is fine But you need to get permission from us before uploading. The article you wrote will probably be published as an article, but people who are not fans will definitely try to catch the pod. So verification is needed.”
Unexpectedly, the staff was positive about Juni writing the letter.
Juni also quickly nodded his head as if he was relieved when he heard that there was something he could do.
“Yes! I will write a letter to my fans! You will be very surprised… Like my brother said, I know that dating is not a sin. But I’m sorry and I want to apologize. Everyone must have been very surprised because of me, right?”
Hearing Juni’s words, I couldn’t resist any longer.
And Eun-gyu sneakily asked Jun-i.
“Can I help you? I’m not good at writing, but protesting together is better than writing alone.”
“… You?”
“Why, don’t you like it?”
The two of them always quarreled, but when this happened, Eun-gyu was the one who paid the most attention.
Normally, if you think about the relationship between the two, Juni would have been able to refuse, but unexpectedly, he said he would accept help from Eun-gyu.
“No. Help me.”
Juni seemed to have died a lot.
“I will help you too.”
“Me too, brother!”
“Just discuss it together! After all, there is nothing else to do other than this.”
Somehow, all the members came to help with Juni’s letter.
And once Jun-eun wrote down on a piece of paper what he really wanted to say to his fans.
I thought that putting Juni’s honest feelings would look good to the fans, so everyone kept their mouths shut and waited for Juni to complete her letter first.
“Hey. Too long.”
Of course, as the letter started to go beyond the second chapter, I had no choice but to step out.
“Did you have so many things you wanted to say to your fans?”
“… Is it long?”
“It’s quite long. It should be reduced to one sheet. Now it’s too wordy. The words I wrote on the front here appear on the back as well, just like that.”
“I know what you mean, so let’s wrap it up now.”
All the members clung to the letter, finished it, showed it to the staff, and got accepted at once.
Juni’s letter posted by the staff received attention from fans as expected and at the same time, it was widely spread as an article by reporters.
“Anyway, I’m saying this because of the situation, but if you’re dating someone other than Jun, why don’t you tell me honestly?”
There were fans who were still angry after reading Juni’s letter, but quite a few fans managed to overcome their embarrassment and congratulated her for starting their relationship.
So, I was relieved that Juni’s scandal had been resolved so smoothly.
If it wasn’t for what Kyung-tae said.
I was the one who would be the biggest problem if her private life was revealed here.
However, I was confident that I would never get caught, and there were no problems because there were many reliable people who would protect me even if such an unexpected situation occurred.
‘But the members don’t know that.’
That’s the problem
If you lie here, how will you feel when it’s time to reveal it later?
‘I have no intention of hiding my family for the rest of my life.’
I had the idea to proudly announce my family to the world someday, so I couldn’t escape Kyung-tae’s statement as a lie.
