Knock! Knock!The knock on the door made Hyomi open her eyes after being closed for so long. She was still squinting her eyes, blinking occasionally then looking wider, hearing the knocking getting louder. She walked towards the door with difficulty resisting the sleepiness that wrapped around her.The woman in pajamas opened the door with her eyes still reluctant to open. "Hyomi!" shouted Hyuk frantically as the door began to open. Something like this made Hyomi's eyes open perfectly."You're not ready yet?! There's only 30 minutes left before sunrise!" exclaimed Hyuk surprised that his boss wasn't ready. Usually, Hyomi was always on time for everything, especially when it came to work. It was not uncommon for her to be the earliest. Moreover, she was a journalist who attached great importance to such things.Hyomi was suddenly wide-eyed. She was enjoying her sleep too much. Squealing inwardly as she recalled how resigned she was to lying on the bed.Today xD and the team had to lea
The fans greeted xD's arrival with hysteria. They shouted for each of the members, as well as carrying tons of xD-related paraphernalia at the entrance of Mount Halla.The sight made Hyomi, who was still preparing for the bus, cluck in annoyance. She felt sorry for those fans who never knew the life of their idols who were far from expectations."I wish they knew who xD, how xD, and all the rot xD. Especially that guy who likes to spread the charm the most," Hyomi focused on Jun Park's figure.Let's just say that the other xD members are not much different from what the world knows. They're not too bad. But Jun Park, that man was so arrogant and annoying."Are you okay?" asked Hyuk had been watching his senior mumble incoherently."Ah?!" realized Hyomi. "Me?""Hm.""So what? I-I'm fine." Hyomi's answer was somewhat stammering, hearing her junior's surprising question.Instantly a transparent blue box was right in front of Hyomi. It was a surprise to her. "Eat! I know you haven't eaten
How upset was Hyomi when a backpack was dumped on her? Jun Park is annoying. Even the man's smirk made Hyomi sick. "Hey!" Hyomi was furious. She felt like throwing that thing at his head. "Oh, my God! Why is he so annoying?! When will this be over!" she complained. "What a coward! He only dares to enslave me when the camera is off and xD-L is busy by themselves!" The woman stamped her foot on the ground.But amid her rage, the bag hovered over someone's hand making Hyomi's jaw drop. It was as if she had just slid off a rollercoaster. Her eyes widened at that moment."Kai?"The charismatic man paid no heed to Hyomi at all. His face still looked flat. Same as last night. He simply took over Jun's backpack and draped it over his right shoulder. Hyomi was still paying close attention to the movements of this tan-skinned man. It was strange. Even from a distance, Jun, who had deliberately left his backpack in Hyomi's hands so that he could see the adorable polar bear's anger, suddenly f
In the end, Jun's team managed to get the highest score. He got to taste Dion's cooking. How happy they were. Especially Jun. When their score was narrowly beaten by Kai's team, he almost went crazy.Even though Hyomi didn't want Jun's team to win. As the reporter, she had to be proud."Victory goes to Group Three led by Jun!" There was no annoyance on Hyomi's face. She was good at her job. She was very professional."Now Jun can lead the group to take one bowl of the prepared sundubu jjigae!"They enjoyed the meal while giving compliments to the very reliable chef, not forgetting to share it with the other groups."Ok, cut!"After the director gave the signal, the staff's bowed politely to close the segment by praising each other."Thank you, Dion. You've worked hard, and I need to taste your cooking soon." Hyomi joked.Proud of Hyomi's efforts, Dion put his arms around the announcer in a hug for a few seconds, patting each other on the back. They flattered each other."Nice try, Re
Hyuk was trying to find Hyomi's figure with a lot of worry. He knew that Hyomi seemed to be carrying a lot of baggage. Occasionally he talked to him. The reporter's eyes and mind also rarely focused. But Hyomi always tried to make the atmosphere pleasant so the people around her didn't have to worry. If examined, Hyomi likes to harbor emotions.The young man hiked further to find Hyomi. Against the scorching sunlight, the wind blew softly, accompanying his steps.The corners of Hyuk's lips began to lift slowly, spotting a woman in the distance and slightly obscured by a tree. Even so, he recognized her, if only from behind. Hyuk took another step to reach her.When his steps were almost perfect, he just stood still. The smile that had been created when he found a bright spot faded away.Hyomi was not alone. Instantly, Hyuk stood still. Someone beside Hyomi was a figure who thrust his shoulder warmly Hyomi froze for a few seconds staring at him. They stared at each other in the breeze
A shadow flashed faintly in her vision. It brought Hyomi's steps to a halt. Her brain was busy guessing. A ghost? Seriously. She ventured to turn her body around again.Hyomi hissed. Rolling her eyeballs in disgust. She was already too sick of looking at her clawed ears. Hyomi just stared indifferently at the man's existence as she bent her body trying to enter the tent. Likewise, Jun was looking at Hyomi flatly and mysteriously. Outside the tent in the night accompanied only by a guitar. What was she doing? Very mysterious.This time Hyomi did not fall asleep immediately as usual. The warmth Kai gave her was still enveloping her. All of that succeeded in hoarding all her thoughts because there was only one thing she needed. Someone who could understand this walking statue. It was difficult for Hyomi to become an open human being.Hyomi still sat down while holding her heart which was still beating fast because the fireworks kept exploding and the flowers blooming in her heart.No! No
Hyomi closed her eyes to sleep. However, her slanted eyes suddenly opened again when she heard the guitars strings tinkling right beside her tent. Suddenly shocked, Hyomi sat up with her legs in front of her chest, her chin resting on her knees, and her long hair loose, as if covering all sides of her face. Hyomi was curious.The strings of the guitarsWiped out by the white silenceToday I want to tell my storyThat I can't endMy thoughts are clumped together like a snowdriftLet me tell you my story in this songCan you hear it?I'll sing it for you.Hyomi was taken aback. That voice? A very distinctive husky voice. Heavy, yet soft to hear. Usually, she would have cursed and chased the voice's owner out of her tent, but this time she gave it a chance. That wasn't bad. Hyomi's frantic mood would be calmed a bit by the singing. Again, although Hyomi did not like that person, she did not deny that he was very talented.I was finally able to muster up the courage to reveal this secret.
"Mommy!" One by one, xD members came up to Dion in a spoiled manner, like little kids who miss the morning hug from their mom.Is this what idols look like? Like a kindergartner. Hyomi was dumbfounded at the sight.Hyomi pursed her lips. Feeling strange about the men's ridiculous behavior, like they had forgotten their age. "What's wrong with them?""It's called idol cuteness."Hyomi gasped as one of the xD-Ls was beside her. She looked at them with amusement. It made Hyomi even crazier that the fans were also enjoying the sight.What, cute? That's not what grown men like them should be doing."It's cute, isn't it?" The woman was so anxious about the members' behavior xD.Hyomi was unable to respond. She was just confused, was she crazy or was the world crazy?"Dion is the most motherly member. He's good at cooking. He's very calm and patient," explained Naomi, one of the xD-Ls. "Like how a mother would be.""But is that necessary?" Hyomi shook her head. "Do they need to spoil Dion?
