When evening comes as requested by Mira, Hyomi prepared a casual style. It's very simple. A plain peach shirt that looks baggy with long jeans. Long hairstyle. As a complement, a mini sling bag and white sneakers. They are going somewhere.
Asem Entertainment Atrium.
“Are you brings me to become a trainee?!”
“Don't tell me you don't know this place?”
“Of course i know! I guide Hyuk while doing reporting in this place. But I never come just for fun. All for work.”
Hyomi try to remain sane in the crowd of people who occasionally stabbed her on the shoulder. Atmosphere is very noisy. Between the hysterical sounds of people who are so happy to come to the atrium and the songs of Asem Entertainment’s Artist.
Yo, okayNa hokshi molla gyeonggohaneunde(Jal deureo) jigeum wiheomhae (So dangerous)Jakku nareul jageukaji ma(Keunil na) nado nal molla
“Omo?!” Mira being surprised and hold Hyomi’s hand.
“Why?!”
“This the one of popular song from XD!”
“This song?!” Hyomi asked louder.
“Yes! Let’s go inside!”
Hyomi had no choice but to give up Mira's instructions, which led her to go inside. The central of atrium. Hyomi knows this place. It is a paradise for K-pop from all over the world and one of the most favorite tourist spots for tourists. And Mira never gets tired of coming here many times.
Asem Entertainment Atrium has 6 floors. Which on the first floor is the welcome room. Above it the second floor of the atrium which has celebrity shop. All visitors will be spoiled with any K-pop merchandises from all of Asem Entertainment's celebrities.
On the third floor, received with various stars victory trophies. Fourth floor. No less interesting, there is a cafe that is greeted with a star standee. Finally, the fifth and sixth floors, which have concert or theater holograms.
A large poster is very visible in front of your eyes. As usual, Mira was excited to see her idol poster.
“See, this XD!”
She thought Hyomi would be amazed. In fact she just looked at XD poster with her meaningless gaze. Flat. Nothing special.
“Ya!” Mira screaming.
“It doesn't mean anything! I knew they are XD!” Hyomi pointed at the poster.
Mira took a deep breath, “Well, i tell their name from the right one!”
Actually Hyomi knows about XD because she’s work in entertainment life even if she doesn't know each member. But he didn't want to know either. He will appreciate it because his friend is so passionate.
“Wow.. do you know all about the members? How about the other group?” After hearing Mira's explanation, Hyomi asked.
“What for?! I’m the biggest fan of XD!”
For a moment, Hyomi suppressed laughter and followed Mira to another space. Hyomi and Mira surround the atrium. Join Mira for hunting k-pop stuf. From then on, Hyomi began to understand about fangirling.
“See! Who is he?!”
“Uhmm.. Their faces are not the same. Honestly i can imagine all six. But i still don't know their names.”
“See his unique ear! He is Jun!”
“Ah~ Jun!”
“Handsome, right?”
Hyomi can't deny that Jun in the poster is indeed handsome.
“He’s such a happy virus.”
“Happy virus?”
“He is a sociable, friendly and very talented!”
Hyomi claping her hand, “You talk seems you know him!”
“I have told you already! Ah, and this...,” Mira took a photocard which made Hyomi's smile fade a bit, “and this is my ultimate bias. Dancing King, Kai!”
Finally Hyomi just nodded, “Ok, i will memorize XD member at home. Let’s go home!”
“Wait!”
“Anything else you want?”
“What if you get the chance to interview them?”
Hyomi chuckled, “That's not my specialty. Usually something like that, i throw it at my juniors. Just focus on nature tourism."
“I really envy you. Although i participated in the selection of reporters several times, i was always destined to take a behind screen.”
Instead of going straight home, they stopped at the Atrium Cafe. A clear cold night. Make ice cream the best dish and add raspberry pancakes. Twinkling stars are visible from the window with music.
“I was so corious.. why you really love XD?”
“I didn't love it either at first.”
“So?”
“So i love them so so much!”
Hyomi took a deep breath as she scratched her temples, which did not itch.
Mira stopped her laugh, “Honestly.. They came when i was tired. You know? Our works are tired and they showered with happiness.”
“Turned out to be very influential.”

“26. XD Exclusive Talk Show... by Hyomi and Hyuk!”
And Mira's words became reality! On this day, there was a divisional meeting of Seoul Entertainment News reporters and Hyomi assigned as host for XD Talk Show. It was surprised. At the meeting were XD-L—XD’s fandom, Mira and Eunbi. They work behind the scenes, but hope to at least be the part of XD Talk Show.
“Heol?! Daebak!”
Mira was speechless and continued to stare blankly at her friend's face.
“Is this the way you can understand more about them?”
Hyomi smiles awkwardly as she packs her things after the meeting, “I’m so sorry, i know you really want it.”
“Yeah! I really really jealous with you. But this is our job! There are always many surprises we face. As a host, reporter, you possibility even deal with people you hate too. In the meantime, i'm behind the scenes. Your job is harder.”
“Thank you! But.. Would you like to help me for write the script? As you know, idols have a lot of sensitive topic, so I hope experts can help XD-L.”
“Ohoo~ You know about XD-L?”
“I study a lot about XD. And it wasn't in vain that i had to deal with them.”
Hyomi and Hyuk are at the same table to create an agenda for XD Exclusive Talk Show and Mira will add to the script later. There are laptop and books in front of them.
Hyuk said while holding the book, “Wow! You have some book about XD? I was amazed. It turns out that behind the persistence at work is XD.”
“Do not misunderstand! It belongs to Mira. I borrowed it. Ah.. No! She gave me that book to know about XD.”
“Ah~ i think you are XD-L like other any co-worker.”
Drrt.. drrt..
Hyomi's cell phone vibrate gets Hyuk's attention, who just received an email from Minra sending him the script he needed. Hyuk finds Hyomi's blanky gaze while looking at text messages on her cell phone.
“A-are you, ok?” he want to make sure.
Hyomi was speechless. The world seemed to stop spinning. There is something odd about the message and she guessing the error. Hyomi let hyuk to read.

Hey, bitch! Are you proud to interview super megastars? Your life will not be happy. You will get a dark life! Stop fucking arround!
Lee Sun Hwan. A manager is busy carrying piles of proposals while picking up the phone and walking down his luxury car, coming to XD dormitory.The commotion in the dormitory overcame the ringing of the bell again and again. In their rare free time, they usually spend time together. Watching a movie together or cracking jokes to unwind after a busy day.But apparently Sean caught a glimpse of the bell that kept ringing. And knowing the manager who came, I hurriedly opened the door. Without warning, everyone sat on the sofa together. Mr. Lee put all incoming offers and letters. All files related to schedule xD."In a week, there will be an exclusive interview from SNE. We have to prepare. And big projects planned in the summer.”“What kind of project?” Suhoo asked as a leader of group.^^^Hyo-mi told Mira right after receiving the terror message. Even after getting home from work, Mira immediately visited Hyomi's apartement. She called the number but it is no longer active. Idols have
The K-TV building was sterilized from the crowd of fans. Fans asked to step aside. Lefted a space in the center of the main entrance so that the xd members on the way can safely enter the building later. Hundreds of XD-Love with various attributes quite comply with the rules.“XD! We Love you!”“Dion Oppa!”“Sean!”Hysterical screams from the fans thundered as the 5 XD members got out of the car and walked to the main entrance. Many staff stood guard among them to maintain order, despite being hysterical at the sight of the idols approaching. And the 5 XD members had time to wave their hands in line with the steps leading up to entering the building.XD has 6 members? Why are there only 5 people?Yes, Jun came separately, because there was individual work. He entered the back door to avoid the crowd of fans who had returned to fill the courtyard of the building.The 185 cm tall man with glasses on walked quickly to meet the briefing time and..Bruk!Unknowingly he bumped into someone
"This is the first time someone has insulted me!" Hyomi said angrily and immediately sat down on the couch in the waiting room.“Don't take offense!” Hyuk Said trying to calm down.“Damn!”"I'll get you some mineral water first, okay?" Hyuk came out right away.Tok.. tok!A man appeared from the glass door. Hyomi stood up from her seat as if surprised by his presence. Kai. Hyomi opened the door for him."Hyomi... Ah, Ms Kang." Kai corrected his words and politely bowed his head, and Hyomi replied the same.The two stared at each other for a long time. Kai smiled. Staring at the sweet figure of a woman who is always missed. Hyomi on the other hand, just stares blankly and awkwardly.Kai entered the room. Footsteps are becoming real. Facing Hyo-mi, the man's heart suddenly skipped a beat. His gaze carries many meanings."I apologize for my friend's attitude earlier. I don't know what happened. What is clear is that I represent everything." Kai bowed politely.Hyomi sighed softly in fron
"Uhmmm... ok. What studio is the music show at?" Hyomi asked"Studio 1."Before the music show starts. The singers usually pass the red carpet or red carpet as a welcome sign for celebrities. Like now, it's the turn of Korean girl groups on the rise. Red flavour. One by one they started to walk.Hyomi stood across from the crowd of reporters from various events. She was busy approaching the script that Hyukhee gave her. Because Hyomi is just a substitute journalist. "What??!!" Hyomi shouted. "I have to cover again XD?"Hyuk nodded slowly. He didn't expect his sunbaes response to be suddenly heroic like this."Damn! Come on!" Hyomi growled remembering the incident when she interviewed XD before. At first he thought that he had nothing to do with them anymore. But in fact?Fate says otherwise."I'm sorry. Kwon Ha-rin suddenly gave permission." Hyuk was clearly full of guilt.Hyomi's breath snorted harshly."Okay. Hopefully nothing bad will happen again." She said calming down.Both are
The South Korean people were shocked by the hottest news about one of the XD personnel. As many people already know. Jun is the member with the most fans."Jun XD's dating?""Jun has a special relationship with a beauty journalist.""How could that be?""Who is she?""Isn't she a famous journalist?""I do not accept.""Kang Hyomi from Seoul Entertainment News?"XD fans are busy looking for facts about rumors about Jun. Most of them do not accept the existence of these rumors. It could be, no one accepts.Hyomi and Jun's faces are clearly visible on every Internet site, as well as being top trending in various media.Hyomi is not a hater XD. But she just doesn't care and doesn't want to know the life of an idol. he had a lot to think about, rather than following the current flow of XD fever.Since Hyomi has been dealing with XD, her world has become even more burdened. Who would have thought he would get more bitterness from his past.Then she thought, how can nowadays youth and even h
Hyomi started stretching her hands as soon as the alarm clock woke her up. He felt like going back to sleep, because he wasn't sure his day would go on as usual.Hyomi woke Mira who was still dreaming beside her, but the girl stretched her body instead. Feels like lazy. Then he got up from his bed and opened the curtains to welcome the sun."Omo!" Hyomi gasped at the sight of the early morning crowd that filled the apartment's parking lot."Hey! Turn off the light!" asked Mira who felt the light stab her eyes suddenly. Though it's not a lamp.Hyomi sniffed roughly while facing Mira who was still lying on a square object made of foam. Instantly he pulled her into the same position. Beside the big mirror. Her still teary eyes turned enormous in an instant, glaring at the crowd. Mira's expression suddenly panicked."How can i going to work today?" asked Hyomi getting worried. Lost hope.Mira's eyeballs kept moving to the right and to the left waiting for an answer from her mind. Ten seco
Hyomi and Jun never thought that they would meet together like this. They thought they would make clarification from a third party. Until they finally faced each other. The eyes of the two of them were as sharp as daggers.Jun's arrival this time was not for a talk show, but to clarify a problem that had befallen him and a journalist."Can you explain the chronology?" ask Mr. Lee to Hyomi first."Well."The smart journalist explains the red carpet events in detail and firmly. Understandably, Hyomi is very good at speaking. So organized and easy to understand. It was then, the figure of Wikipedia walked so clear in the eyes.Followed by an explanation from Jun himself.It is clear that their explanation is the same. That signifies that there's nothing to hide between the two, if there really is a connection behind this. But in fact, it's all just a media misunderstanding.After a few hours passed. The agency requested that Jun and Hyomi sign the available files. So that this news can b
South Korea is in the late spring. But the hustle and bustle of the city of Seoul seems endless forever. Crowded, crowded, but still in order.The city that is often dubbed as a romantic city full of love. Maybe blood born with the city of paris. But, is there anything on this continent that is more beautiful than Seoul? We dunno, we'll see. 10:00 a.m. KST. Another big meeting occurred regarding the change of seasons. Television shows are adjusted according to the season. All the KTV work teams gathered in a fairly large meeting room. Served with a view of Seoul city from the 10th floor."Eun Bi!" Hyomi greeted while waving her hand who had not seen her for a long time.Ra Eun-Bi just smiled gently. She positioned herself beside Hyomi."Where have you been? I rarely see you. You seemed to have disappeared after buying me a pie that time," Hyomi continued before the meeting started.Eun-Bi just snorted softly, ignoring Hyomi's question, as if there was something implied in her little
During the talk show session, Jun was very cheerful. He was like himself, cracking jokes and saying fun things. The handsome man's laughter filled the atmosphere.Even the other members were busy in their hearts. Occasionally, they even felt sad because they saw Jun, who seemed to be pushing himself. He had to remain professional even when he was sad.Manager Lee who was behind the scenes exhaled quite harshly at the sight. "Why do I feel pain?"His memory replayed a similar moment between Byun and There in the past. "They have to be their other selves in front of the camera," he muttered feeling bad. Even so, he couldn't do anything about it because of the demands.Manager Lee has no right but to encourage the xD's members."You guys have worked hard!" Manager Lee shouted after the talk show was over, Jun was the first person manager Lee approached. He patted his back. "You've worked hard, Jun. Thank you.Jun smiled widely. The dimple on his left cheek made his good looks even bett
"There has been a shooting and murder threat in a crowded shopping center by a mysterious woman, who is known to be a toxic fan of boy group xD. No casualties occurred in the incident, but a journalist, who is also known to be Jun Park's lover was severely traumatized after being threatened with murder."Jun closed his eyes unable to contain himself over the news he had just seen and heard. She looked down as her breathing became so labored that it hurt."Argh!" Jun raged. He pounded on the steering wheel as his tears flowed freely. His face turned bright red."Why does it have to be like this?!" Jun screamed. He cried. "Why does it have to be like this?"Jun broke into tears that he could not hold back. He felt like his life was so constrained. Just been caught dating once, but life had changed so quickly. What Jun regretted the most was why it had to be Hyomi who committed the crime. That's what made him sad and angry.His cell phone rang. There was Byun's contact who repeatedly con
"If you disturb me, this bitch will die!" She then stared at the entire crowd with a menacing gaze.Even Hyomi was getting helpless. She could only stare at Aunt Kim, who was shedding tears in panic. Even the security was also careful in taking action. They strategized how to resolve all of this without anyone getting hurt and one of them contacted the police.Unable to see Hyomi threatened, Aunt Kim left the crowd. She snuck up to the food stand. Her old eyes searched for something. She picked up a pan that was still warm from baking crepes. Recklessly, Aunt Kim threw the pan at the armed woman's head until she fell, as well as the gun in her hand.Security immediately secured the object, while others took the opportunity to arrest the unhinged woman who was losing her strength."Hyomi!" Aunt Kim called out to Hyomi, who was still quite shocked but the wide-eyed woman was trying her best to crawl.The other sensitive visitors immediately helped Hyomi to get up. Then Aunt Kim immedia
Jun is the member who wakes up early. He wore a hoodie jacket and short training pants while it was still quite dark. While wearing earphones and a bucket hat, the 185-centimeter-tall man left his apartment for a morning run.Not only running around the apartment area, Jun ran to the banks of the Han River. He enjoys the coolness and tranquility of the morning to exercise as a way of meditating to open a new chapter in his life.Running is one of the easiest sports to do because it doesn't require much equipment. It can also nourish the body, not only physically but also mentally.He has been running for a long time, now resting for a moment by the river while adjusting the tempo of his breathing, which has been messy. Jun opened her phone to see some notifications. But the one he was expecting never gave any news.Even though Jun was practicing recovering his mind, the thought of Hyomi sometimes still came rushing back."It's been a week since our scandal, but she never gave me any ne
"Maybe I've misinterpreted my feelings. Honestly, I may not love you as a woman, but I love you as a friend. So I was afraid of losing you. I didn't want you to get hurt. So, I approached you so that we could rekindle our lost friendship." Jong's hand was still warmly rubbing the back of her hand. Again, the look in the man's eyes made Hyomi's heart swoon."Thank you for sticking up for me even though I didn't love you back," Hyomi said in a trembling tone.Jong brushed aside the hairs around Hyomi's forehead. "I just realized that love cannot be forced. You can't force me to stop my feelings, and I can't force you to love me."Jong patted one shoulder, a gesture for Hyomi to lean against it. She laughed, then rested her head there. She was leaning in the right place. The night breeze blew gently, caressing a warm feeling.Even Jong felt very calm as she allowed Hyomi to harbor various feelings for her. It brought back many old memories. Even so, he couldn't help but feel another sti
"What happened?!" Mira frantically approached Hyuk and Hyomi at the hospital. The two had just come out of the emergency room to treat the wound on Hyomi's right palm."It's nothing," Hyomi said soothingly."What's wrong?! Huh?!" Mira looked down at Hyomi's bandaged hand. "I told you that you just need to keep quiet. I'll take care of that bitch.""Hyomi just keep quiet. But I..." Hyuk looked down feeling guilty."What?"Hyuk looked boldly at Mira. "I made a scene. I heard Hyomi packing, so I went there and that bitch was there too. How could I hold back?"Mira massaged her throbbing forehead. "I know. If I were in your shoes, I'd be even crazier than that.""It's okay. I also have to make sacrifices for those of you who are on my side," Hyomi added, stepping first into the hospital lobby."Sacrifice or are you just stupid?" Mira confirmed. They all stopped in their tracks. "I mean... You could have removed Eunbi's hand, not held the knife!""Why are you so angry?"Hyuk tried to medi
Hyomi has indeed decided to break up with Jun. However, the statement has not been confirmed to the public. The management agreed to keep the truth under wraps for at least a month."Then what did I break up with her for?!" Jun screeched in front of the management officials. "Why would I break up with Hyomi if you didn't make a public confirmation of our breakup?""You guys want fans to stop making a fuss, right?" Jun added. His face was crimson with anger."But everything also needs a strategy.""What strategy?!" Jun shouted."Calm down, Jun!" Manager Lee tried to calm him down.Jun threw Manager Lee's hand away. "Just say that I broke up with Hyomi and I love my fans more!""That's wrong. If we make you break up, the international fans will protest, too. Even the local fans who went crazy before will also feel awkward.""And blame the management?" Jun sarcastically chuckled. "You guys are scared? Isn't that your trick?""Everything needs a trick, Jun!" said the director. "To survive
xD's arrival sparked excitement throughout the airport. Fortunately, the management had prepared tight security. Journalists could take pictures of their singers but they couldn't get as close as usual. There was a clear path for xD to pass quietly without fear of being pushed by journalists or civilians.The five xD members walked quickly to the car between the screams of journalists."Jun Park, are you dating journalist Hyomi Kang?""Can you say a word, Jun Park?"Not only journalists, there were also fans grouped there. They were united in calling for Jun Park to quit xD. The local fans were horrible. While the commotion was going on, Suhoo as the leader held Jun's hand. Likewise, Jong embraced him while the other members were around them. Jun was protected by four of the members to avoid much exposure.Even Jun felt his world had been destroyed. But the members took good care of him so that he was not too depressed.The five xD members could breathe freely after getting into the
Even after the fan event, xD again gathered with the manager in the room of a hotel to discuss the scandal involving Jun Park."I know you're tired, but we have to discuss this again," explained Manager Lee. "Luckily, international fans understand the situation and don't take it personally. Yeah, although I'm sure some don't accept it either. But the gods seem to be on our side. Tonight's show went well. Security also managed to hold back all the media who wanted to get close to us."All the members nodded in understanding."Now we have to finalize our way back later." Manager Lee looked at each tired-looking member. "There will be tons of reporters there. They'll be waiting for you brutally.""The director has requested additional tight security for your return. But we don't know what will happen either. I hope all goes well tomorrow."Manager Lee looked at Jun, who was sad. "Jun...""Yes?" "Management has made an official statement with KTV that you and Hyomi are dating.""That's t
