Distant Fate 39. 1900 masl
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

All the xD-Ls are back. Only Naomi was on her way down, assisted by staff and rangers. Meanwhile, at the climbing exit, all xD members were still together waiting for Jun to come down, as well as other staff who were starting to pack up.Putting things into the car, including Hyomi and Hyuk who were communicating a lot with the producer and director as well as several other important staff to prepare for the next event."Anyway, let's take a break first. Later tonight we have to rush straight to the beach to prepare the sets and other preparations," said Mr. Producer."Okay!"They then scattered to the bus. However, Hyomi was still glued to the spot to check on the people coming out of the mountain."Hyomi! Let's go!" called Hyuk."Okay." Hyomi then followed Hyuk. "Wake up, Hyomi! Why would I wait and worry about her?""Jun!" Another xD member's shout made Hyomi turn around immediately.The final group seemed to descend safely. Even Jun helped lift the stretcher that had Naomi on it.

When their eyes accidentally met, the world seemed to stop spinning. That gaze contained a sparkle of light that made them unable to look away from each other. A sweet peck on the cheek at 1900 meters above the sea dominates the mind.They enjoyed those seconds by gazing at each other with their thoughts. Hyomi who would normally cuss, now seemed unable to control herself.Don't you enjoy Jun's big eyes as a sight!"Are you crazy?!" Hyomi's hand managed to push Jun's head away from her, causing her to make quite a groaning sound. Hyomi left the trio without saying goodbye. Things like this made her even more uneasy."Argh!" cried Jun in pain. She pushed him until his collarbone ached. How strong she was.Not only did it shock Jun, but the other members were also speechless."Hyomi's so fierce," said Sean, gasping at Hyomi's rudeness to Jun. He gawked for a long time. It was also the first time Sean saw Hyomi so scary. He didn't think she was rude.Holding his neck, Jun looked at Hyomi

Hyomi's hands began their activity by organizing each item on the nightstand: perfumes, hair gel, nail clippers, sunscreen, moisturizer, and lip balm. Today's men are no less busy than their women. They are also diligent in taking care of themselves. But wait!A photo paper that was piled up among the other tools stunned Hyomi. Her eyes widened. She reached for it."Why is it here?" Hyomi wondered, while her hand trembled as she grasped the object.It was a photograph of two children. A boy and a girl posing in a playground. It was Hyomi and Jong.Hyomi blinked her eyes repeatedly to make sure what she was seeing was not wrong. It was a picture of her childhood."Hey, bear! What are you doing?"That shout? The husky voice triggered Hyomi's above-average heart rate. She gasped out loud. Instantly her hand hid the object in her grasp. She stuttered.Hyomi turned her head in suspense, revealing Jun in a bath kimono."So, Jun is Suhoo's roommate?" she muttered inwardly. "You're so... Wh-

"Jun! Hurry up! You're the only one who hasn't had a fitting yet!" Sean cheered, making Jun's steps move faster downstairs.Jun began to try on some of the clothes he would be wearing tomorrow night during the concert. Everything was hanging neatly, followed by the shoes that were lined up in two rows.While trying on clothes, Jun's eyes seemed unfocused. She seemed to be looking for someone."Don't you see Miss Hyomi?" Jun asked the wardrobe staff."Ah, Hyomi is reviewing the concert venue. I think she's practicing or creating content."Jun nodded, then his eyes zeroed in on Dion reading a novel after trying out several microphones."Dion!" Jun slightly whispered. There was no response at all. He was still struggling with his novel."Hey, Dion!" Jun called louder. Just the same, he didn't say a word only didn't pay attention. It was the result of Jun teasing Dion so much. Calling him so many times, in the end... Who called you?Original! It's annoying to death. Now Dion was ignoring

Kai could only raise his head to the sky. He looked up at the stars that still faithfully accompanied the moon in the dark. He felt the tightness of his heart. The roar of breath that blows when the heartbeat is unstable. The impact of the past continued to haunt all his thoughts. He remembered everything, all the past he had been through with Hyomi, how he tried to get her out of her parents' clutches.Little Hyomi was left with little time to play with her peers. She could only watch the other children play snowballs through the window of her room. Books were Hyomi's only friends. Her parents always placed great demands on her education. But it was all too much. Hyomi was always confined, like doggie, her pet dog. While Jong was the only person who took pity on Hyomi when the girl could only look at her other friends with a drawn smile.Jong, now known as Kai, was also an ordinary boy. Even he also knew about the harshness of Hyomi's parents. There was no guts at all to defend Hyomi

"Why didn't you say so from the start?!" His eyes became as sharp as daggers with his breath coming in short gasps of uncontrolled emotion. His hands gripped the collar of his shirt tightly.Kai was still staring at Jun with a flat, uninterpretable gaze. His eyelids looked heavy."You don't know? He was looking for you until he got claustrophobic!" Jun continued, unable to control his anger. That face turned bright red. "You're the stupid one," Kai retorted casually."What?!" Jun frowned."With that, are you ready to risk your heart?"The rhetorical question thrown by Kai left Jun stunned and suddenly immersed in those words that made him release his grip on Kai's shirt collar. Jun's hands were shaking. He pondered for a while, then ruffled his hair roughly. He cursed himself."This was all for Hyomi's sake at first. But in the end, it was all for your sake too." Kai's statement managed to slap Jun as if his feelings could be read clearly. His thoughts were getting complicated. He lo

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.

"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
Distant Fate 100. An Inexhaustible Threat
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.

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. Even so, he couldn't help but feel another sti
Distant Fate 98. True Friendship
"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
Distant Fate 97. The World is Rotating
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
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
Distant Fate 95. A Painful Decision
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?"
