Distant Fate 33. Overflow
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?

In the camera recording, members xD and xD-L seemed to be compactly packing items to continue their journey to conquer the highest mountain in Korea. While Hyomi led the show as usual while wearing climbing gear even he did not realize that Jun's figure continued to stare at her. The light radiated from her smile.Jun didn't even know what made him suddenly fascinated with Hyomi. Jun had met many beautiful, even sexy women. Even the ex-lover he dated had a perfectionism visual that was far more special than Hyomi. But, Hyomi's figure made him calm. Somehow it happened. Hyomi's smile was like opium for Jun."I wish that smile was for me," Jun murmured."How are you, Hyomi?" asked the director to check on his best reporter during a filming break."Pretty much fine. Probably just tired." Hyomi looked down and stopped folding her tent."Alright. We still have a long way to go to reach the top. You must take care of your health.""Yes, sir." All the participants of the agenda continued t

Getting to the top of life is easy. It's like climbing a mountain when what you believe and what you do are the same--so the saying goes.The snow-covered Halla Peak greeted the arrival of all xD members, xD-L, and staff. There is also a lake at the top of the mountain called Baengnokdam which means, a pond inhabited by white deer.Everyone was amazed at the beauty of nature that they had never seen in the city."Alright people, we have reached the top of Mount Halla. A solid climbing record between xD and xD-L to be applauded!" exclaimed Hyomi as the camera focused on her.Then all xD and xD-L members were seen clasping hands. The look on their faces was full of happiness."Kyo, can you explain your feelings this time?" asked Hyomi casually while sitting on the edge looking at the fantastic view of the highest mountain in South Korea."I can't describe my feelings." Kyo looked very happy. "This isn't my first time climbing. I've climbed Mount Jiri before, but this time besides it bei

After enjoying the unforgettable moment at the top of Mount Halla, the entire xD's Day Out group immediately prepared to go down the mountain.There was not a single tired look on any of their faces. All that tiredness seemed to be paid off by the fantastic view at the top of the mountain, so when they came down, their energy seemed to be fully recharged.However, there was one person who still felt floating. He even found it difficult to digest the situation. Hyomi was out of focus. She was even just trying to be professional in front of the camera. However, when the camera panned to the others, Hyomi could only daydream as she descended the mountain.Occasionally Hyomi held her heated cheeks. The image of Jun kissing her was still vivid."Argh!" Hyomi groaned. She was upset. Why did there have to be such a thing? It triggered a lot of worries. Then Hyomi looked at the xD-L group that was still compactly walking down the track occasionally joking with member xD."Are you okay?" Hyu

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

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.

Distant Fate 99. Conflicting Desire
"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.

"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
Distant Fate 96. The way I love you

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.

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?"
