TL: emptycube / ED: Isleidir

Was I blindly threatening the person?

After rubbing my chin, I shook my head It didn't seem that way

My tone was sitaek It didn't see because I was atthat I could threaten the other person with

What was it?

Even while I wasover this, the co

Just as Lee Joohwan, that crazy bastard, doing after taking a dump like that? Did he write that in a hazy, drunken state before collapsing? Or was he chuckling as he watched the internet's reaction with a clear mind?

Anger surged uphis sleek face If he was in front of me, I probably would have held him up by his collar and punched him

My phone rang again It was Team Leader Park

-Is he an idiot? What kind of shi+t is he trying to pull?

As soon as I answered the phone, I heard her swear It seeer had reached its peak Well, at least she didn't have a h I knew an incident would occur, to others, this was a bolt out of the blue

-Did you know anything about this? Was there any sign that this ht happen?

”Nope I only learned about it just now because a reporter contactedthe recording last time”

Team Leader said in a pissed voice

-Lee Joohwan that crazy bastard I don't knohat he's up to, but he's not answering his phone The chief and team leader at his co angsters

”Are you with the chief? He was on call”

-We decided to meet at the coht noell There wasn't a peaceful day last year, yet we're really driving away the bad luck early in the year!{1}

”I'll get ready and go to work too”

I had ot ready when Team Leader Park said

-I' to stop the press the best I can, but it doesn't seeha and confir on between them Help her prepare her heart as well

”Yes”

-No matter hoe explain our position, there will be ha and Lee Joohwan together Tell her not to go on the internet since there will be a lot of hate comments because Punchline has a lot of elementary and middle school fans

”Yes, also, team leader,”

I stopped Tea up

”Could you give me Lee Joohwan's personal phone number?”

-I told you that bastard isn't picking up right now He's not replying to texts either

”I've met him before so you never know I just want to try”

-… Okay, you never know Let's do everything we can I'll send it by text

While I aiting for Teaha

Even though it was late at night, the call went through right away

-Oppa?

It seemed she wasn't aware of the situation as she talked in a puzzled voice

I said a few things as if there was nothing going on before getting to the point

”Songha, I' on with you and Lee Joohwan, right?”

-Who's that?

I wasn't suspicious from the start, but this was exactly the reply I wanted to hear

”The guy who raps in Punchline, the one who tried to start a conversation with you last tiht?”

-Ah… No Oppa, you told me not to associate with him

”Good job That crazy bastard posted nonsense about you so it looks like it'll be a little noisy for a while So don't go on the internet for now”

It hadn't been long since her 'add-on' and acting controversies It would be norha didn't even ask as going on

-Yes

That was all

Her voice didn't contain a shred of worry or fluster The only thing I felt was firm trust

Going out into the moonless sky, I said,

”Okay, don't worry and wait for me”

Just as I got in my minivan, I received a text from Team Leader Park

It was Lee Joohwan's personal contact information

Exhaling a stuffy breath, I pressed the call button A rap played out as the caller ringtone, burrowing into my ears

I sed h I resolved htup on an ability that can disappear as suddenly as it appeared, I was hoping for static to appear in my vision at some point

However, there were no signs ofeven when the call went to voicemail

After sending a ain Even the second and third time, Lee Joohwan continued to be silent like Team Leader Park had said

Thinking about it for a bit, I decided to call Reporter Park Woojeong

I thanked her for telling ,

”Are there any tabloids about Lee Joohwan?”

-Tabloids?

”Yes, a bad ru like that”

So I could threaten him with to be exact

-There are a lot of ruues

Not long after, Reporter Park Woojeong told athered

They were about hoas a bit crazy even before he debuted and about how his co with him because he was the type to do whatever he wants There were a few others besides those However, there wasn't anything that perked my ears

Finally, Reporter Park Woojeong cautiously said

-Also, apparently, Lee Joohent on a date not too long ago

”A date?”

-Yes, around teeks ago My colleague who toldwhether that person he went on a date as Ms Songha…

Although I was an atheist, at this moment I wanted to thank a God

Reporter Park Woojeong's voice became distant as my vision became dark

I had never been so happy to see a static-filled vision

Hoping it was related to Lee Joohwan, I concentrated more than ever

I was inside a bar The lights were gentle and di snacks were placed on top of a wooden bar in front of

My future self lass Then the refreshi+ng beer went down my throat which was like a dry wasteland

Perking my ears, I heard the conversation between two female bartenders

”Lee Joohwan's life has turned around He's been a hot topic for days now Keeps going up and down on the real-tied froe has crumbled”

”Yeah”

My future self acted like he was drinking as he carefully exaave the short reply
