Chapter 88

What do fans matter…

(I felt like I couldn’t reach the end I wanted, no matter how hard I tried. I was tired, and so were my parents.)

(…)

Tae-woo opened his mouth to say sothing, but closed it and poured more alcohol into Yong-min’s empty glass.

(You know how it is. Every ti we try to do sothing, sothing goes wrong sowhere.)

(The coback that fell through…)

We were so confident back then, but we got scattered by Jung-min-joon’s reckless marriage. I still feel regretful when I think about that ti. Tae-woo and Yong-min sighed together.

(If you think about it, there was no guarantee that we would do well even if we had a coback then.)

(But the song was so good… It’s a sha.)

The PD who was listening to their conversation asked, ‘Can you sing it for us once?’

(Do you rember the lyrics?)

(Of course.)

Tae-woo and Yong-min sang their planned coback song without hesitation. Even though a lot of ti had passed, they didn’t forget a single line of the song they loved.

(You still have it. You should do trot.)

(What are you talking about? You should use this song for your album. What’s wrong with it not being trot?)

(Let’s do it together.)

(What?)

(Let’s do it together. Again.)

Yong-min said with a relieved smile. Next to Tae-woo’s serious expression, a caption said ‘loyal friend’.

(I’m better off doing what I’m doing now. I don’t want to be dragged down by you.)

(I’m fine…)

(You have to think about your fans, even if you’re fine.)

Yong-min had long lost his attachnt to the entertainnt industry. But his face darkened when he thought of his fans. Even in that unpopular group, there were people who liked him.

The PD caught Yong-min’s inner feelings from his expression.

(Then, what about the fans from your Diamond days? Do you have anything to say to them?)

(Um…)

Yong-min scratched his head. He had retired from the entertainnt industry without any news, and he didn’t know what to say now.

(I’m sorry for disappearing without a word.)

Yong-min held his trembling hand.

(Thank you for liking .)

The broadcast recorded a whopping 18.3% viewership rating, despite being on a cable channel.

It was because of the cast of ‘The Man of Trot’. And Diamond ranked third on the real-ti search, and Yong-min ranked ninth.

It was sothing they couldn’t achieve during their peak.

‘Nice to et You, Friend’ The deep idol story that made you cry

‘Nice to et You, Friend’ Who was Diamond?

‘Nice to et You, Friend’ Tae-woo, loyal friend confird… Diamond’s breakup story revealed.

After the broadcast, articles poured out, and Diamond’s few fans unlocked their dormant accounts and wrote posts on SNS.

-Crazy agency screw them????????????

-TA dia bastards??????

-Co to think of it, isn’t Jung-min-joon insane? He ruined the group and now he’s living as a celeb on a parenting show?

└He has no conscience, such a shaless guy

-I’m glad Tae-woo is doing well???????? But Yong-min is such a waste??????He could do well as a singer again????

└He said he’s not coming back to the entertainnt industry????????

└But he would have done well if he did a duo with Tae-woo

└└Tae-woo has opened his golden path with trot and he’s going to do activities with Yong-min lol

└└└What are you ???? get lost with your aggro

Of course, Jang Min-hee, who had been Yong-min’s longti fan and now beca Ian’s fan, also watched the broadcast live.

“Honey, are you crying?”

“Huh…? Just… feeling sorry for him?”

“No, you were his fan, right? Do you want a tissue?”

Jang Min-hee blew her nose with the tissue her husband gave her.

She still loved him even though she was fangirling over soone else.

It was just that her feelings were piled up in a corner of her heart.

‘You suffered a lot…’

She had left her account for Yong-min untouched when she made a new one for Ian’s SNS fangirling. She couldn’t delete it because she couldn’t bear it.

‘Now I’ll really… really let you go.’

Jang Min-hee opened her notepad.

CLOSE.

Ian, who was searching for Yong-min after being srized by the broadcast, saw Jang Min-hee’s account being activated by chance.

‘Close…? Does that an she’s closing it?’

He zood in on the attached picture. It contained the words that he couldn’t fit in one ssage due to the character limit.

[What a noisy withdrawal letter.]

‘Don’t call it a withdrawal letter…’

This letter was incomparable to those cheap withdrawal letters.

Ian gritted his teeth as he glared at Jin.

Jin snorted and disappeared like smoke.

Ian read Jang Minhee’s letter again and again.

He was happy that she still liked him even after his soul changed, and he also had a selfish wish that she would like Kim Yongmin until the end. But Jang Minhee didn’t forget Kim Yongmin.

‘She kept Kim Yongmin in her heart.’

In his previous life, he had given up on being an idol and switched to being an actor.

He was so thirsty for fa that he didn’t care about anything else.

Back then, he thought that his Diamond days were a waste, and that he was no different from a trainee who barely debuted.

‘There was no useless ti…’

But no matter how much he was neglected by his agency and had no popularity, it wasn’t a useless ti.

During that ti, he was able to be an inspiration and a mory for soone. He suddenly felt that he had received a lot from soone who didn’t do anything for him.

Ian wiped his eyes with his sleeve. His sleeve quickly beca damp.

‘It wasn’t one-sided, noona.’

He wanted to tell them that he thought of them more than they thought of him. But he couldn’t do that. Because now he was Choi Ian, not Kim Yongmin.

[Ian] Hello Awi-dum

Even if you like soone else later, or don’t like us until the end, I’m okay with it.

I just hope that you are happy in this mont when you like us.

Thank you for always liking us

Ian posted a ssage on Awi’s fan cafe with a calm mind.

He couldn’t do it when he was in Diamond, but now he wanted to tell his fans what he felt.

But about five minutes after he posted the ssage on the fan cafe, soone banged on the hotel room door.

“What is it? Is it another stalker?”

Park Jinhyuk, who had just finished washing up, put his ear to the door.

“Hey!”

“Choi Ian! Open the door!”

What? It’s the kids? Park Jinhyuk opened the door.

“What’s going on?”

“Hyung, where’s Choi Ian?”

“Ian is lying on the bed.”

“Hey!”

Jo Taewoong and Kim Juyeong passed by Park Jinhyuk’s side.

The mbers piled up on Ian before he could get up.

“Hey! What is it?! You’re heavy!”

“What do you an!”

What kind of nonsense is this? Ian pushed away Kim Juyeong and Park Seodam and lifted his upper body. All the mbers were gathered in the sa space.

“Hyung! Is there sothing wrong?!”

Park Seodam sounded like he had a voice crack.

“Do I have to have sothing wrong?”

“Why did you post such a weird ssage on the fan cafe? I thought sothing was wrong with you!”

You ca here because of that? Ian laughed out loud.

It was a blessing to have mbers who would co running just because he wrote one different ssage than usual. He found these people fun and unbelievable. But more than that, he felt happy.

“Why are you laughing! We’re serious!”

“Why did you suddenly write such an emotional ssage? Are you depressed? Hosick?”

His laughter burst their buttons. Kim Hyun and Jo Taewoong slapped Ian’s back, but Ian didn’t stop laughing.

“Hyung, what should we do? Ian hyung must have sothing wrong.”

“Ian-ah. Don’t laugh, is there sothing wrong?”

While Park Seodam and Lee Juhyuk were talking seriously, Park Jinhyuk, who had belatedly checked Ian’s ssage, spoke with a serious face.

“Hey Choi Ian. Are you having a hard ti…?”

They all looked worried and asked, and if he dragged it any longer, the mbers would suffocate from curiosity.

Ian took a breath and opened his mouth.

“Did you co here because of that? I’m fine!”

“Really?!”

“It’s dawn right now. I just wrote it because I was feeling emotional. Huh? It’s two o’clock in the morning, the peak of emotion. I wrote it while practicing writing lyrics.”

“Is that true?! Hey, you scared !”

“Puhahaha!”

Ian rolled on the floor, clutching his stomach.

Why is he like this when people are worried?

The mbers looked at each other in disbelief and decided to ignore him.

They piled on top of Ian, making a hamburger ga.

The cara was floating above the chaotic scene.

[What’s so special about a fan…]

Jin muttered in a tone that he didn’t understand.

***

Kim Yong-min, who helped his parents with farming, received a call from an unfamiliar number that was not saved.

“Hello?”

(Yong-min, long ti no see. Do you rember ?)

“Who is this?”

(It’s , Choi Jo-hyun, the director of MI Entertainnt.)

“Oh…”

He was the director who had put his nephew in Jupiter, the place where Kim Yong-min had been.

He had never spoken to him so friendly when he was a trainee at MI Entertainnt.

‘How dare he call ?’

Kim Yong-min pretended to know him and Choi Jo-hyun spoke excitedly.

(The reason I called you is… Lim Tae-woo from T.Nam is doing well these days. Don’t you want to be a singer again? You seem to be close with Lim Tae-woo, you even asked him to do a show together… How about debuting again as a trot duo? I think it will go well.)

“Don’t do that.”

(What?)

“Don’t do that.”

He heard a flustered breath from the other side of the phone. Kim Yong-min laughed sarcastically.

“Why? Lim Tae-woo’s contract with A company is almost over, so you want to sell

off and make so money? Do you think he will sign with MI Entertainnt if I persuade him?”

Well, he must have no sha to be a director at an entertainnt company. Kim Yong-min kept laughing.

A company didn’t expect ‘The Man of Trot’ to cause such a syndro.

That’s why the contract period specified in the contract was very short.

Lim Tae-woo was only affiliated with A broadcasting company for six months and after that he had no agency.

(Wh… what are you talking about? I was the one who accepted you at the audition…)

Who cares if you accepted

or not? Who was the one who kicked

out of the debut group by putting his nephew in?

“It’s no use trying to work on . You bastard, you have no sha and call . I want to twist your neck.”

Kim Yong-min lowered his voice and continued.

“Lim Tae-woo? He has no reason to go to your shitty agency. He already stamped another place.”

(Listen to

carefully, I was really sorry back then…)

“If you call

one more ti, I’ll kill you for real.”

Kim Yong-min pressed the end call button and let out a sigh of relief.

***

“Do you want to co to our company after your contract with A company ends?”

Park Joo-min didn’t know what to do and eventually summoned Lee Byung-hun, the CEO. Lee Byung-hun opened his mouth when he saw Lim Tae-woo who ca suddenly.

“Why our company all of a sudden… There are better companies out there.”

Lim Tae-woo, who ranked third in T.Nam, was as good as a big fish. In fact, other entertainnt agencies were constantly sending love calls to Lim Tae-woo, who had not yet decided on an agency.

“I liked this company.”

Lim Tae-woo took a sip of the coffee that Park Joo-min brought him. Lee Byung-hun spoke calmly.

“No matter how much Ian recomnded trot to you, just because of that…”

“It’s not just a word.”

“…”

“That kid’s word changed my life.”

“Oh, I’m sorry for saying that lightly. I misspoke.”

Lee Byung-hun apologized quickly. Lim Tae-woo smiled and said it was okay.

“But even if you have a special story with our kids, we are an idol agency, so we don’t have the infrastructure to support a trot singer.”

“It’s okay. The T.Nam fandom is almost similar to idols. The age range is just a bit higher.”

“…”

“And it’s more reassuring that you say this. Please accept .”

Lim Tae-woo was no longer the loser from Diamond Days. His confident appearance showed no signs of worry or anxiety.

‘This big fish ca in on his own feet…! Jo Tae-woong Choi Ian! These amazing guys!’

Lee Byung-hun’s inner feelings were already flying away, but his face was calm.

Lee Byung-hun shook hands with Lim Tae-woo, who reached out his hand.

“Okay. Even if we are a bit clumsy, we will do our best to support you. I promise.”
