Distant Fate 68. Locking The Perpetrator
The atmosphere in the backyard seemed so crowded. All the staff as well as xD members were preparing for the "Last Night Party" Everyone had decorated every corner as festive as possible.Byun momentarily pulled into the villa to look for a knife. He wanted to help the staff and Suhoo cut fresh fruit for the evening snack.Byun didn't give up. He went inside the villa just in case there was a fruit knife left or maybe he could use another type of knife.The man circled the kitchen. "Whoa! There's still a butcher knife left." He held up the large knife. "With this knife, it looks like it will be difficult."Byun scratched the back of his non-itchy head, still trying to find another knife. Some of the staff might have brought folding knives because they had camped at Mount Halla. Usually, adventurers brought a full set of equipment."Mr. Cho!" Byun called out to one of the staff coming out of the room."Yes?""Did you bring a knife? A pocketknife, perhaps?""Well, there it is! I was als

Amidst the tension in the villa, Kai chose to pull over. Not wanting to respond to this, he used the time to go to the hospital. Soon Kai came out with one of the team's sedans. He drove it to the hospital. In the meantime, looking after Hyomi directly was the best way."Jong?" startled Hyomi in the middle of her reading. "Aren't you guys having the 'Last Night Party' tonight?"Kai nodded. He put on as calm a face as possible to avoid suspicion and sat down on the edge of the bed."We're getting ready. And I've done my part," Kai said. "I'm going back to Seoul tomorrow anyway while you're still here. So, I thought I'd see you.""Because we're not getting back together?" Hyomi confirmed.Kai nodded. "Hm. I still need time to be with you."Hyomi couldn't hide her smile. "You want a hug?"Kai was stunned. There was an overwhelming feeling that coursed through his body. Of course, Kai wanted that, but he felt a bit awkward when he knew the reality of Hyomi's relationship with Jun.Hyomi

Jun had to repeatedly exhale harshly when he could not find a middle ground in this matter. It felt like there was a sense of unease coming over him."Mr. Producer, let's take Mira to the police station for questioning. We can't go on like this." Jun said that he couldn't take it anymore. Even hearing that, Mira had given up. She no longer rebelled, just held back her anger.Meanwhile, Mira was tired of making excuses. She was silent and held back her anger as the other staff gossiped about her, staring at her with cynical gazes as if cursing her."Wait a minute." Mr. Producer was still trying to investigate. He knew that Mira had a good reputation at work. He also knew that Mira was also good friends with Hyomi. It seemed highly improbable that Mira would do such a crazy thing.However, the human eye can only see the outside. No one knew what kind of life each of them lived. "How about we hold off for now?" Mr. Producer took another option. "Let's finish this one night first. It's

By nightfall, Kai returned to the villa in an uncertain mood. His mind was raging with many things while at the same time cursing himself for not being able to hold back his feelings for Hyomi. Kai didn't need to do that either. He should have buried those feelings. After all, Kai knew that Hyomi loved Jun. But what was in his mind was that people could change at any time. That's what made him not want to give up.His steps stopped in the front yard of the villa when he saw Jun. The two men stared at each other in the cool afternoon air with their respective interpretations.Kai was being choked by awkwardness when dealing with his partner."You're from the hospital? Meeting Hyomi?" asked Jun casually to make sure as if not to suspect anything. Jun was not as anxious as he had been with Kai earlier.So, why was he so casual when Kai came to see Hyomi?"Hm. I met Hyomi. I'm just worried when I can't do anything here," Kai explained, hiding the awkward blush on his face.Jun understood

"Maybe you have something to say?" Suhoo gave the others a chance to speak."Hm!" Byun seemed to clear his throat quite loudly. He wanted to express what he was holding back. "I'd like to say hello to xD-Ls wherever you are. You've also heard that amid our pleasant vacation, there was an unpleasant incident involving our colleagues from KTV." He seemed to be very careful in crafting his sentences."We all hope that an incident like this will never happen again. The perpetrator is still being investigated from the evidence received. So, I hope fans are wise enough to support their idols," he continued. "And the incident is suspected that the perpetrator is an xD-L who is very fanatical."Byun took a breath. "Honestly, for us, there is no such thing as a fanatic fan or anything. All fans are the same. It's just that the way they express their love for us is different. There are wealthy fans who splurge on our albums, concert tickets, and anything else about us that they can buy.""Some

Jun broke the intimate embrace with the echoing sound of a knock on the door. Jun quickly steeled herself to behave normally."Oh, Jun! You're here already," said Manager Lee coming in with the other xD members.Kai looked at Jun intently, meaningfully. The other members didn't say much because they already knew why Jun was the first to arrive."Jun must be feeling guilty for being the first to know about all this," Byun tried to make the room more colorful to avoid the awkwardness that triggered Manager Lee's attention.Meanwhile, Hyomi quietly stole a glance at the stunned Jun. In her heart, she felt so suffocated when the feeling of love had to be suppressed. Wait, is loving someone else a sin and a mistake? Until they have to hide like this.But Hyomi didn't want to be selfish. It was part of the risk of loving such a shining star. Hyomi had to understand that."Hyomi, as the manager xD, I apologize for what happened. I will try my best to keep xD and xD-L together and not cause a

It was very hectic at the villa that day. All the staff from KTV and Asem Entertainment who participated in the series of vacation trips on Jeju Island with xD were very busy packing.At the same time, they had the arrival of Hyomi Kang."Hyomi! Welcome!""Hyomi! We have to go home."Those were the words of welcome and closure for the whole villa when they met Hyomi again who still had to stay in Jeju because of the difference in flight schedules."Take care, everyone." Hyomi waved goodbye to the others."Are you okay here?" asked a makeup artist."I'm fine. I'm here with Naomi. I'll catch up with you guys tomorrow, too."Hyuk ran upstairs and almost tripped over some suitcases that were blocking the way because he couldn't wait to greet his love. Yes, unrequited love.Hyomi gasped as Hyuk lunged at her in a hug. "Hyomi!""What's wrong with you?" Hyomi laughed. "It's like you missed me." She rubbed the back of the young man she had come to think of as her brother."I missed you. I'm n
Last Updated : 2023-07-04Distant Fate 75. Getting to Seoul
Hyomi stayed overnight with Naomi. They enjoyed a night on Jeju Island alone before returning to Seoul. They just relaxed in the villa while enjoying the fresh air. There was nothing else.But in the middle of the night, the bell rang. It made the two women stand guard behind the intercom to see who it was. Worried that the terrorist figure will reveal his existence while they are only alone.Hyomi widened her eyes. "It's Mira!""Mira?"The two women opened the gate for her together. The woman with beautiful clear eyes looked withered after a long examination as a witness. She stared at Hyomi with her eyelids drooping as Naomi closed the gate."You still don't believe me, Hyomi?" asked Mira still hoping for a glimmer of hope.Hyomi moistened her lower lip for a moment. "I already told you that I want to trust the law. After all, you're just a witness to why I should have expectations.""But you don't know how broken I am. Even though I'm just a witness, I feel depressed if I lose the

Distant Fate 103. Miss You
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
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
