Distant Fate 60. All With You
Hyomi realized something. Jun Park. Where was she? Hyomi's eyeballs rolled, searching in all directions. Amongst the crowds and laughter that filled the room, Hyomi couldn't find her. That sent her heart into turmoil."Is she avoiding me?" she muttered to herself."Hyomi! Can I hug you?" pleaded Byun, surprising the entire room."Huh?" Hyomi did not digest Byun's words. Her mind was wandering."Hey, guys, it's a friendly hug." Byun immediately made his intentions clear as he felt the intimidating stares from all of them. "You guys know, right? We filmed a long time on this island together and grew up as good friends, even like family.""Then so did I." Dion came forward first."I'll do it!""I'll go first."Suddenly all the xD members wanted to hug Hyomi while she just stared at the empty air. She still hadn't digested the situation. Occasionally she would only smile blandly."Jong, let us hug her," Sean whined adorably.At first, Kai was choked up by the question that seemed to make

Mira stared at her phone in silence as she drew uncertain strokes of anxiety. She occasionally bit her lower lip."Mira!"Hyuk's exclamation instantly made Mira flinch and shoved the cell phone back into her bag, a streak of awkward blush on her face."Wh-What?" asked Mira with certainty.Hyuk brought the cell phone. "Look! The police have checked the number that terrorized Hyomi!""A-Ah? Really?" Mira was suddenly speechless."Come on! We have to tell the others right away!" Hyuk said, rushing away quickly.Even Mira followed behind Hyuk's fast pace. She tried to keep up with him. "What did the police say?""We'll talk about it together.""In front of the xD members too?" Mira braked her steps.Hyuk turned around. "Of course. They have to know so that they can also warn those diehard fans. xD has an important role to play in this. And I'm sure it's probably not just Hyomi who is experiencing this."Mira could not reply. She only pondered while digesting the whole sentence of her coll

After much discussion in private, the xD members then returned to the villa with Hyuk. While Mira was still there, sowing her longing and worry for Hyomi. "You don't have to be afraid, Hyomi. We'll all support you, help you. Understand?" Mira gave her friend strength.Hyomi nodded while shedding tears of emotion. "Thank you."Mira gently rubbed the back of Hyomi's hand. "Don't worry. I'll catch him for you."Hyomi frowned. "What are you doing? You just focus on your work.""I'll confirm the culprit with my own eyes. The culprit is still here, Hyomi.""I know. But you have to work.""My purpose in coming here was also to protect you. I can't leave you alone!"Hyomi smiled while wiping away tears. "You see, I have people who protect me.""Argh!" Hyomi groaned as Mira pushed her forehead. "It hurts!" she whined."What?! You're already getting cocky even when you and Jun love each other?!" screeched Mira with her arms around her waist. Even Hyomi could only stare while raising one eyebro

Walking is the best way to explore every nook and cranny along the way.It allows travelers to see and experience things that are very likely to be missed in their vehicles. The pleasures that nature gives us - the sound of grass swaying in the wind, kicking a small pebble and watching it roll, and the fresh air released by plants and forests - can only be felt while walking."Are you xD-L?" asked Jun suddenly approaching Mira."Ah, yes!" gasped Mira. "How did you know? Did Hyomi say that?"Jun smiled and nodded, his steps still vigorously treading the wind-blown path. "It's just that you're acting casual.""Me?" Mira pointed at herself. "Ah, how can I be excited when my friend is hurt."Jun was moved. "You are a good friend."Mira was stunned. She smiled faintly, then quickly looked away in the other direction, swallowing all the awkward atmosphere while staring at the ocean that stretched out in her view from up there."Thank you for coming here."That sentence made Mira turn her h

The egg-red color managed to dominate the sky. A sign that the sun will shift with the arrival of the moon. Everyone went back to the hotel to clean up after a long day of fighting the summer bind.But for Jun, that was the last straw. The only thing on his mind was Hyomi. He was alone there.Jun couldn't let that happen. The police were there, but inside the room, Hyomi was alone. That sparked a flame of unease."Will I be able to come back tomorrow?" Hyomi asked Doctor Yoo with all her hopes. "I feel fine, Doc.""That's just how you feel. You still need a lot of rest, Miss," said Dr. Yoo.The doctor's words brought a deep sense of disappointment to Hyomi. She could no longer stand this silence, alone in a big room with nothing to do. The smell of antiseptic continued to tickle. Hyomi, who had always moved around busily, now had to be shackled in silence. Perhaps only in the company of the television."But, doc..." Hyomi pursed her lips like a child. The doctor rubbed Hyomi's head l

This afternoon the sun was hot. Its rays penetrated every crevice of Hyomi's hospital room. She sat on her bed, gazing in all directions while occasionally snorting softly. The rumble of thunder was busy rumbling in her mind. All the memories of 16 years ago returned to play in Hyomi's brain. All this time, she had always hoped to meet Jong. Too many good things he did. This monolid-eyed woman deliberately never shared her heart with other men. All of this is dedicated only to Jong. But somehow, when Jun was present, everything felt so difficult. especially to get rid of the image of that handsome man from the recesses of her heart. No one interrupted her. Suddenly Jun's figure was lodged in her heart. Then what about Jong? Hyomi massaged her forehead slowly, just for relaxation to reduce the chaos that was wracking her."What should I do?" Hyomi wondered, then blinked. "Why am I being like this? Does Jong like me?"Hyomi chuckled. She laughed at herself. "Wake up, Hyomi! Jong is m

Mira handed me a photo she had taken from her phone gallery. There was a special website that had been successfully penetrated. "What's this?" Hyuk was confused. "What site?" Jun wanted to make sure too. "This is the anonymous site I mentioned earlier." Jun analyzed while guessing, and the man's forehead even wrinkled. "Hater site?" Mira nodded confidently. "This has been one of the hater sites since Hyomi first got it." "Ever since you guys left for Jeju, I've been trying hard to find the owner of that account, but it's so neat. So, I didn't find any clues, even though I had a chance to meet a hacker to crack it," Mira continued. "So?" Hyuk needed a continuation. "I accidentally found this cloverleaf symbol." Mira pointed to a symbol on a hate site that had been terrorizing Hyomi. "It was in the corner of Eunbi's laptop. Do you remember, Hyuk?" For a moment, the young man was dumbfounded. He froze for some time. Although confused, he tried hard to remember. "I don't know. B

"By the way, where is Mira? She didn't come to you?"Hyomi pursed her lips. "Why are you always looking for her, anyway? Why don't you contact her directly?""Trust me, Mira is very busy. She rarely comes here," she continued."Ah? Did Mira change her number?""I'm here!"They were both surprised when Mira suddenly walked into the room very boldly as if to challenge her enemy. "Mira?" Hyomi widened her eyes. "Since when did you come?"Instead of answering, Mira picked up Hyomi's cell phone so she could meet with Eunbi on the other side. "Wow! You didn't even tell me when you came to Jeju?""Why would I?""Of course, because we're friends. What if something bad happens?""Then what?"Eunbi raised one eyebrow. "What's wrong with you?""Where are you?""I'm inside grandmother's house.""Your grandmother passed away, right? Tell me, what part of Jeju are you in?" Mira asked a question that left Hyomi guessing in confusion.Eunbi laughed. "What's wrong with you? You're having such a hard

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.

"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. 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
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?" "Management has made an official statement with KTV that you and Hyomi are dating.""That's t
