Chapter 178
Hes lying.
It was a wedding of entertainnt industry workers. The guests had nothing to do but wait until the ceremony started, so they glanced at the elevator, curious to see which celebrities would show up.
Wow, theyre here.
Theyre so handso
Did all seven of them co?
So of the guests who pretended not to notice covered their mouths and whispered as the mbers of Awi got off the elevator.
Soone also sent a ssage to soone else, who was a reporter with connections. There would be an article about who attended the wedding as guests before the ceremony even began.
What should we do first?
We have to sign the guestbook and give the money envelope.
While the mbers were flustered, Ian took the lead and walked ahead.
Ian is so good at socializing, isnt he?
Are you living your second life?
The mbers followed Ian and murmured. As soon as they finished speaking, Ian stopped and looked back.
But which side should we give the envelope to?
Thats a tough one.
One was a manager who had been with them since their debut, and the other was a company director who had seen them since the casting stage of their trainee days. As the mbers stood still and pondered, the guests took pictures of Awi.
How about we split in half?
Is that okay?
The mbers agreed to Park Seodams suggestion and divided into groups of three and four, each giving an envelope to the brides side and the grooms side.
Im going to say hello to soone.
Okay, hyung.
Kim Myungjin casually said as he passed by Awi. He went straight to Park Dongsoo, who was greeting the guests. His steps were light, as if he had been waiting for this day.
Look at how excited Myungjin hyung is.
But who is that person standing there? Thats not the Dongsoo hyung we know, right?
The mbers stopped and stared at soone in a tuxedo. The boutonniere on his suit pocket confird that he was the Park Dongsoo they were looking for.
Wow
Is that really Dongsoo hyung?
The life of an entertainnt manager was a life of being busier than the celebrities. They always had to wake up earlier than the celebrities and drive them, follow their schedules and carry their stuff. The pay was low compared to the labor intensity.
Dongsoo hyung looks amazing when he dresses up.
Thats why they only saw him in casual clothes with a dark face from work. Seeing him grood and dressed up, they felt like they were looking at a different person.
Just then, Kim Myungjin whispered sothing in Park Dongsoos ear.
He must be telling him that we cant sing the congratulatory song.
Wow.
Park Dongsoo smiled bitterly at Kim Myungjins words. Seeing his face, the mbers felt a pang of guilt.
What should we do? I feel bad.
What can we do? Its already done. We have to take care of the boss first.
Ian, who made eye contact with Park Dongsoo, pointed to the brides waiting room. Park Dongsoo nodded slightly.
The mbers of Awi, who were waiting for their turn in front of the brides waiting room, were surprised once again by the sight of Seo Suryeon in a wedding dress.
Who is she?
Is that really the director?
Seo Suryeon was not the type to enjoy dressing up either. She usually wore neat slacks and only drew her eyebrows, so the heavy bridal makeup looked unfamiliar.
Why do you act like you ca to a strangers wedding?
Im surprised so many tis today.
The mbers were already warming up their complints.
Just then, Seo Suryeon, who finished taking pictures with her friends, smiled brightly as she saw the mbers standing at the entrance.
Hey, guys!
Director.
Her friends, who ca out after taking pictures with the bride, scanned the faces of the mbers and passed by.
Wow, amazing.
Im glad we ca to the wedding.
They rolled their feet as they left Awi behind. The mbers were used to these reactions. They pretended not to notice and approached Seo Suryeon.
Director, wow, I almost didnt recognize you.
Youre not a human, youre a goddess.
What? Youre too bright, I cant see you well.
Seo Suryeon laughed.
You guys have improved your flattery skills. Is it because youve done a lot of fan signings?
Wow, really? Are you doubting our sincerity?
The mbers were shaless until the end.
Were short on ti, so Ill take the picture quickly.
The bride and groom had a lot of guests coming, so they didnt have much ti to take pictures with the mbers of Awi, a popular idol group. The photographer urged them to hurry up and pose for the cara.
Hey, Sejun hyung.
Hi, guys. Long ti no see.
As they left the brides waiting room, they saw Jung Sejun standing there, waiting for soone. He smiled brightly when he saw the Awi mbers.
How are you, Taewoong? Are you doing well these days?
Hyung, Im fine now.
Really? Are you starting your activities again?
Yeah, I have to.
Jung Sejun was the MC for the wedding. He had cut his hair short for his upcoming military enlistnt.
Sejun.
Kim Young-hyun ca out of the elevator and approached them. Not only Jung Sejun, but half of the mbers of Black Rush, another group from the sa agency, had short hair.
Baldies!
You little
Ow, ow!
Kim Young-hyun put his arm around Park Jin-hyuks shoulder and gave him a headlock. Park Jin-hyuk whined in pain.
I hope you guys get called baldies by those kids when you enlist.
Ah, thats a bit
The next group to follow Awi, Fever, was entering the hall with their manager. They looked nervous as they followed him to the brides waiting room.
You guys are lucky, huh?
What do you an?
Kim Young-hyun teased the Awi mbers with a playful smile.
One of your male fans is in that group. Wow, I would feel so proud if a fan of ours debuted because of us. And thats a male fan.
Really? I didnt know. Did you guys know?
Lee Joo-hyuk asked the other mbers, who looked confused and looked at each other. Only Ian had a aningful smile on his face and shrugged his shoulders. Lee Joo-hyuk narrowed his eyes at him.
So, Ian knew?
Who is it, then?
What was his na? Ill send you a link.
Kim Young-hyun took out his phone from his pocket and searched for sothing.
He must be talking about Lim No-eul.
He sent them a link via chat. They clicked on it and saw a clip from Fevers debut Y-app.
(I dread of becoming an idol because of Awi seniors. I was a fan since their busking days.)
(Really?)
(Im a first-generation Awi fan. I even went to their fan eting.)
(You went to their fan eting?)
(Yes, I even have a photo card from them.)
Wow.
He went to our fan eting? How co we didnt notice him if hes a male fan?
It feels weird.
The mbers played the video again with a proud expression.
Did he just ntion our group and Young-hyun hyung knew about it?
[No, I think sothing bad happened. Why else would he know?]
What do you an?
[You know how bad news travels faster than good news. A junior group ntioning a senior group is not that big of a deal.]
And Jin was right. As they scrolled down, they saw another post that caught their eye.
-BHL Entertainnt sues Fever for malicious comnts.jpg
The post had screenshots of various communities where people were spreading rumors and false information about Fever.
-Fevers Lim No-eul is a fan of Awi, did you know that?
Really?
He ntioned it on his debut Y-app
Ew, is he gay?
-Look at Lim No-euls past photos, he was so fat
He definitely had plastic surgery
Isnt it just dieting?
I saw his pre-debut photos and theres no way his face would look like that with just dieting.
-I saw a male fan at Awis fan eting
He didnt wash and made the fans around him frown. He was also rude. Was that Lim No-eul? He had a fierce look in his eyes.
Welco to the celebrity world.
This is water testing at its finest. Bring so proof.
It was when Awi was promoting We Are Awi Dont the fans know?
Wasnt Lim No-eul already a trainee by then?
He hadnt co since the first week of his debut.
Ian frowned. As expected, there was a clarification from the writer under the image, correcting the facts.
I guess it wasnt ntioned in a good way.
Its normal to have so weird people attached to you when you debut.
Jo Tae-woong shrugged his shoulders.
Especially since they were a rookie group following the footsteps of the top boy group, Awi. It was inevitable that so strange people would cling to them.
Fortunately, thanks to Jo Tae-woongs precedent, the agency had already announced a strong response to the rumor spreading before the incident got out of hand.
Kim Hyun looked at Ian and asked.
Hey, Ian, did you know? That he was our fanboy?
No-euls face looked familiar. I thought I had seen him sowhere.
Ian dodged the question for now. He rembered that Lim No-euls expression didnt look very bright when he passed by him earlier.
See, I knew it. You werent just being nice to No-eul for no reason.
How can you recognize a fan who ca once? Its a talent, a talent.
Jung Se-jun, who had been listening, changed the topic.
By the way, you guys are also singing a congratulatory song, right? What are you going to do?
We are not singing a congratulatory song, or rather, we cant sing one.
What? Why?
The mbers exchanged glances. They were so excited about the surprise plan that they hadnt agreed on the details. They were pushing each other to answer. Ian stepped up.
We have a schedule, so we might have to leave in the middle.
What schedule do you have? You still have a long way to go before your album cos out.
Um we have sothing like that.
Jung Se-jun looked at the Awi mbers with suspicious eyes. The mbers avoided his gaze.
You guys have sothing, dont you?
Its a secret from Dong-soo hyung.
Tell . I have to know anyway because Im the MC.
Jung Se-jun and Kim Young-hyun went to a secluded corner, avoiding the other mbers of Black Rush.
The Awi mbers followed him and secretly told him about the congratulatory song project they had discussed with Kim Myung-jin.
Youre going to pretend to have a schedule and leave, and then sing a surprise congratulatory song at the end of the ceremony?
Yeah, how about that? We already talked to our manager hyung about it.
Kim Young-hyun narrowed one eye. The surprise plan seed too flimsy because it was hastily made.
Our final goal is to make Dong-soo hyung cry with emotion. Hyungs, have you ever seen Dong-soo hyung cry? Not just teary-eyed, but sobbing.
No?
The anxiety disappeared as soon as he heard Park Jin-hyuks words. Kim Young-hyun and Jung Se-juns eyes sparkled.
That sounds fun, doesnt it?
Jung Se-jun and Kim Young-hyun joined the congratulatory song project.
***
After finishing their discussion, they approached Park Dong-soo, who was greeting the guests.
Guys.
Hyung, why are you so handso today?
We thought we ca to the wrong banquet hall when we ca in. You looked like soone else.
Park Dong-soo smiled awkwardly as he received the complints from the mbers.
Dong-soo, are these the kids youre in charge of?
Park Dong-soos mother, who was wearing a beautiful hanbok, ca up to the Awi mbers.
Yes, these are the ones Im taking care of.
Hello!
Were very grateful to you!
The Awi mbers shouted loudly and bowed their waists. The guests were surprised and looked at them. Park Dong-soos face turned red, and his mother laughed.
Are you so kind of organization? Dont overdo it.
Park Dong-soo scolded them, but the Awi mbers were shaless. They straightened their shoulders and smirked.
Ignoring them, Park Dong-soo casually asked.
You said you have a schedule, where are you going?
This ti, Jo Tae-woong chid in.
Ah, hyung, are you trying to work on your wedding day?
We have a schedule, anyway.
Park Dong-soo narrowed his eyes. Ian and Jo Tae-woong were natural, but the other mbers were stiff.
Really?
He seed to have improved his acting skills, but he couldnt fool Park Dong-soo, who was quick-witted.
These guys, theyre lying.
The congratulatory song project was exposed in less than an hour.
