Chapter 433 – #64. Wedding (2)
[I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you]
“Ugh!”
“What, why?”
Usually, gifts from fans are passed on to us after being inspected once by the agency staff.
Celebrities have a thing called fame, and as their popularity grew, so did the number of people who bullied them.
The reason for the bullying was because we really hated it, or because we liked it so much that we couldn’t control our minds.
As a person who has personally experienced both cases, I think the former can be better.
‘It’s understandable if you say that you did that because you hated me so much.’
Even though I didn’t do anything wrong to that person, I can understand that he’s doing this because he doesn’t like it.
But if you move on to the latter, it feels really fucked up.
He said he did this because he likes me, why can’t he understand?
He shamelessly sticks his face in asking if he’s persecuting fans right now…
‘It’s terribly selfish.’
Even if you do such a thing to someone you like, you can’t understand or understand what’s going on in their confident heads.
If you listen roughly to what those people say, they say that they wanted to remain in our memories even in this way.
“Ah, how do you do a real inspection!”
As soon as he heard Wooyeon scream, he roughly noticed the situation, took the letter in his hand, and immediately threw it in the trash.
“It was written in blood.”
Something to know if that blood is your own blood or the blood of an animal.
“Okay, forget it.”
“Ugh! Vomit.”
“Really disgusting.”
“Stop! It’s okay, don’t worry about that.”
“I don’t feel good.”
“You go in and get some rest.”
Wooyeon, whose complexion turned pale, eventually went into the room without opening another present.
The other members were also excited to open the presents, but they didn’t seem to be interested in the presents, as if they were offended by a coincidence.
“I’ll tell the company and ask them to review it again.”
“Huh.”
“Okay.”
“This happened because I was busy with my comeback, so don’t hold back against the staff too much.”
The members pouting their lips at my words.
Even if I said this to the kids, it didn’t mean I wouldn’t be angry with the staff.
This may seem trivial at first glance, but it is by no means the case.
If you get hurt somewhere, the wound will heal over time, but the wound in your heart will not heal.
You just have to wait until time passes and it becomes dull.
‘It seems that the mentality of the children has become softer than I thought.’
The most important thing here is that I can’t manage their mentality.
In fact, it’s funny that they do mental management.
The incident that happened that day was communicated to the company staff to warn them, and after that, I thought that I would be able to accelerate my comeback preparations without any major problems.
But were my thoughts too optimistic?
I’ve been receiving a lot of strange letters, so I think the problem was that I skipped things that shouldn’t be taken lightly.
♧ ♧ ♧
“Oh! Airplane Wooyeon, right?”
“Ah… Yes. Hello.”
“I am such a fan! Could you please give me an autograph? It’s really my lifelong wish! Please.”
It happened when Ki Woo-yeon went out alone.
While she was practicing, the members played rock-paper-scissors and made a bet to buy something to eat at a convenience store.
The criminal had brought drugs to kidnap Woo-yeon, as if it had been planned in advance.
It was pretended to be a coincidence, but the fact that the drugs had been prepared showed that it was a premeditated crime.
But she said that if there was one mistake the woman made, it was that she trusted the movie too much.
When you knock someone out in a movie, don’t you use a handkerchief?
This culprit thought that it would be possible in real life, so he prepared a drug called chloroform on a handkerchief.
But a movie is just a movie.
‘It’s not a drug that makes you pass out right away like in the movies when you put it in your mouth.’
I don’t know the details, but I do know that the drug doesn’t put people to sleep instantly like in the real movie.
I found out after looking it up, but it is said that if you use the wrong amount, you need to be careful in handling it because it is a drug that can not anesthetize at all or endanger your life.
The fortunate thing here is that the criminal who had no intention of killing Woo-yeon used less drugs, and as a result, Woo-yeon, who screamed as soon as he tried to kidnap him, was rescued by others and was able to escape safely.
However, in the process of escaping, her body was injured by the kidnapper’s madness, and she had to be taken to the hospital feeling nausea and dizziness due to the effect of inhaling the drug.
Such a big thing happened, but there was no way the article wouldn’t go out.
In the middle of busy preparations for a comeback, the fans cried, the staff cried, and we all just sighed in despair.
“What is the punishment for the culprit?”
“I left it to the police, and the company legal team is on the move. Crimes related to kidnapping and stalking are always subject to arrest, so don’t worry too much.”
If there is anything better in this world than on Earth, it is the punishment of crimes against ‘men’.
As the number of men gradually decreased, there were many cases in which women planned crimes, and in order to suppress them, the punishment of criminal cases had to be strengthened.
Of course, that doesn’t mean crime doesn’t happen at all.
“The culprit is also the culprit, but a coincidence would be shocking.”
“Yes. If Woo-yeon wants it, I’m thinking of connecting him with a competent counselor. And I think you guys will have to keep guards for a while.”
“As usual?”
“Huh. For example, even if I go to the convenience store, I plan to have bodyguards attached.”
In fact, I only receive security when I have a schedule.
There were very few cases where a bodyguard was taken with him until he went about his daily life.
Imagine having an unfamiliar person following you around for over 12 hours.
Fans were cursing the agency for not properly protecting Wooyeon without knowing the context.
It’s not once or twice that the agency gets cursed at by fans, but it wasn’t a good attitude to ignore that opinion at all.
“It’s for the safety of the members, so I hope you’ll tolerate it even if it’s uncomfortable.”
“I’m sure we’ll just go to the practice room and the dorm anyway, right? And no matter how many bodyguards you attach, you can’t protect them all.”
There was no way the effect would come out unless security was assigned to each and every member.
“To be honest, you are right. It will be almost show-off.”
“Do people curse a lot?”
“Huh. I think it’s a good thing because you guys are so popular, but…”
It is said that the company phone is on fire, making it impossible to do daily work.
There are even fans who have made outrageous threats to the staff that they will set fire to the company if this happens again.
“Was there anyone like that?”
I’m already sensitive about coincidence, but I can’t believe he’s threatening me…
Even if it wasn’t an insult to us, it didn’t feel good.
“It’s just a verbal threat. Fans spoke so strongly because they wanted to appeal to the company that they were very angry over this incident.”
Even though I was the direct target of the threat, the staff comforted me by saying that they weren’t offended.
“That’s why I hope you understand even if I have a bodyguard for a while. Actually, it is true that you need bodyguards for your safety.”
It is said that if security personnel are attached, even if it is a show, it will have the effect of calming the heated public opinion to some extent even if not everyone is angry.
The company paid money and hired a bodyguard, but I couldn’t say I didn’t like it.
♧ ♧ ♧
It’s a sudden thought these days, but I think that this activity might be our group’s last comeback.
It may not be the end, but if we make a comeback this time, the next comeback will take some time.
However, considering the schedule after the comeback, I was skeptical about whether the next album would be released.
Of course, the contract period still remains.
But we were in the middle of the measles because of the popularity that was soaring to the extreme.
For celebrities, popularity is like food.
The problem is that there are times when the nutrients are good for the body, but there are times when they act as poison.
Poison mixed in knowingly and unknowingly where nutrients should be contained makes us sick.
‘Mental fatigue is no joke. It’s just a coincidence this time. It’s okay to endure without major problems until now.’
This wasn’t the first time the members complained of mental fatigue.
It was a feeling of fatigue that had been steadily accumulating, but everyone was just keeping quiet because they knew it was a job they had chosen for themselves.
In addition to what happened to Woo Yeon-i this time, we suffered from stalking in various ways, and there were several times when we received death threats from unknown targets.
No matter how well the management company managed it, it was impossible to completely protect the artist from crime.
Wooyeon’s body started to creak as if the stress that had accumulated over this incident had exploded.
It doesn’t matter when you’re far away, but as you say you’re a fan, when you get closer, you feel nauseated and dizzy.
‘Once Woo-yeon started to suffer, the other kids also got worse. Everyone pretends to be bright, but it’s not like that.’
The company seemed to know that as well, and quite seriously, a discussion about postponing the comeback came up at the meeting.
Woo-yeon really hated having her comeback delayed because of her, but what can she do when her fan trembles with fear just by getting close to her?
In the end, we delayed our comeback date by about a month or two.
‘Even if I cried and cried, this was something I couldn’t help.’
Thanks to being rescued before being kidnapped, there were no major damages.
However, the invisible psychological shock lasted for a long time, and it was too difficult an ordeal for Wooyeon, the youngest and the youngest, to endure.
We comforted Wooyeon who was depressed by saying that it is good because we have more time to practice.
Actually, it wasn’t a big deal that the comeback was delayed by a month or two.
The problem is after that.
‘The huge problem of renewing the contract is approaching.’
It seems like just yesterday that we debuted as a rookie and were active, but we are already in a situation where we have to think about renewing our contract.
After the comeback and activities are over, I plan to focus on my rest and individual activities, but when time flies by like that, the time to renew the contract comes.
‘It seems that the company also scheduled individual activities because of contract renewal issues.’
If even one of the members has a different opinion about renewing the contract, group activities will become difficult.
At least there is a way to leave that member and promote with the rest of the members in the best way, but neither the fans nor we wanted to promote as a whole.
“Shall we do it one more time, brothers?”
Perhaps because of the postponed comeback, Wooyeon-i was really keen on practicing.
“Also?”
“You asked about it this time, Ki Woo-yeon.”
“Hehe, hyung, are you having a hard time?”
“No, let’s do it. Since it happened like this, let’s do it for another hour!”
Wooyeon’s face was full of strange miasma.
A face like that was something I hadn’t seen even when I was in the debut group.
In order to make a comeback, he had to get well first, so he was working harder than ever before.
He did everything recommended by the counselor without omission, showing an active commitment to treatment.
‘I eat well, and I’m getting a lot of exercise through practice. Take your medicine and eat well. It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful.’
Of course, since the painful part is the mental side, taking the medicine does not immediately show its effect.
However, since I have a strong will to overcome it, I think I can recover quickly.
‘Here, if I help out with an item, he’ll recover faster.’
While purchasing and using various items, I realized that relying on items with good effects is not always a good thing.
If Woo-yeon had no desire to recover, he would not have saved the item.
‘That’s why coincidence is so commendable.’
Since you’ve been through a lot, no one can say anything if you become weak, but aren’t you creating an atmosphere where you’re more proud than the other members in order to get better instead of showing weakness?
It was the moment when I realized that Wooyeon, whom I had only seen as a child, was now a full-fledged adult.
