Chapter 57

When everyone present heard Ryeo's words, they finally remembered that Lee Yuhao had been hit by a bat. Pani and the others gathered around Lee Yuhao, asking, "Are you okay? Let's go to the hospital first. President, we're taking Lee Yuhao to the hospital now."

Kim Young-min nodded and then asked Ryeo, "Come to my office. You need to explain everything clearly. What exactly happened?"

Lee Yuhao, enduring the pain, went to S.M.'s underground parking lot with three others. When his agent saw Lee Yuhao covered in dirt and a handprint on his face, he immediately asked, "What happened? What's going on?"

Lee Yuhao, in pain, was sweating profusely. "Uncle, take me to the hospital first. I think my hand is broken."

Hearing that Lee Yuhao's hand might be broken, his agent was shocked. They had gone to negotiate song prices, and now this. There were even footprints on Lee Yuhao's body, clearly from a fight. The agent exclaimed, "My God... What happened? Get in the car, get in the car. Tae-yeon, you all don't follow. If the media finds out, who knows what they'll write."

Tae-yeon and the others nodded, helped Lee Yuhao into the car, and then left. Pani, waiting for Tae-yeon and the others, was furious. "This is what you... did with the hidden camera? The hidden camera almost broke Lee Yuhao's hand. How will you face Lee Yuhao in the future? Sica, and you, Lee Yuhao even protected you from getting hurt. Was this all planned by the two of you? And you all not only didn't stop them but also joined in their mischief. You even enjoyed watching Lee Yuhao get pranked. Now, Lee Yuhao is in the hospital because of you. Think about it..."

After saying this, Pani left, truly angry.

After getting in the car, Lee Yuhao's agent called the president while driving. He couldn't hide such a big incident. "President, Lee Yuhao's hand might be broken. I'm taking him to the hospital now. It seems... it seems Lee Yuhao got into a fight with someone. Okay... Okay. I'll call you back after I check."

The agent then hurriedly contacted the investors to cancel today's schedule.

At this time, all the members of Super Junior were standing in President Kim Young-min's office, heads down, not saying a word. Kim Young-min called out, "Ryeo, you're the leader. Explain what happened. Why did Lee Yuhao and Kang-in get into a fight? Who started it? How did Lee Yuhao's hand get broken?"

Ryeo had no choice but to recount the entire incident truthfully, not daring to hide anything. After all, not only the three parties involved were present, but also the eyes of Girls' Generation and f(x) were watching.

Hearing that Kang-in had started by slapping Lee Yuhao, Kim Young-min was so angry that he threw the documents on his desk at Kang-in. "Kang-in, do you think being a senior gives you the right to treat others like this? Where did you get the nerve to slap Lee Yuhao? Do you know that Lee Yuhao is LOEN's treasure? Do you know that LOEN is backed by SK Telecom?"

Kang-in, with his head down, said, "I'm sorry, President. I was so angry at Lee Yuhao that I lost control and hit him."

"Sorry? What good is saying sorry to me? Think about how you will face LOEN's questioning. And was Lee Yuhao's hand broken during the fight with you?"

Ryeo continued, "No, at that time, Lee Yuhao was already preparing to leave. Tae-yeon and the others were seeing him off when Kang-in, for some reason, rushed to Minho's practice room and found a baseball bat. He then charged at Lee Yuhao. Jessica stood between them, and Lee Yuhao, to protect Jessica from getting hurt, used his hand to block Kang-in's bat. We then came and restrained Kang-in, and you came down."

Hearing Ryeo's account of how Lee Yuhao's hand was broken, Kim Young-min was so angry that his face was trembling. Just as he was about to explode, his private phone rang. Seeing it was Lee Min-jeong calling, he took a deep breath, pointed at Kang-in, and gritted his teeth as he answered, "President Lee, hello, this is Kim Young-min."

"One of our artists, Lee Yuhao, was injured at your company. Are you going to give us an explanation?"

"I'm very sorry, President Lee. I will investigate this matter and give you a satisfactory response. We will take full responsibility for Lee Yuhao's injuries, and we will cover all his medical expenses."

"Medical expenses? Is that what I'm talking about? Investigate the matter and call me back. We'll discuss how to resolve this."

After saying this, Lee Min-jeong hung up.

Kim Young-min felt his lungs were about to burst with anger. He wasn't Lee Soo-man, and he didn't have a habit of using violence. But today, he couldn't hold back. He walked up to Kang-in, said nothing, and slapped him hard, followed by a kick that sent Kang-in to the ground.

The members of Super Junior didn't dare to help Kang-in up. Everyone knew that Kang-in had caused a huge problem. Lee Yuhao was just a rookie, and even if he had achieved great success, he was still a rookie. The real fear was LOEN, or more accurately, LOEN's parent company, SK Telecom. As the leader in Korean telecommunications, it was said, "Even if you hit a dog, you have to consider the owner."

Moreover, LOEN had finally found a 'treasure.' This was not only a face for LOEN but also for SK Telecom. By hitting one of their artists, Kang-in had disrespected two major companies, and they would be furious. This fury was not something S.M. could handle alone. In terms of financial power, SK Telecom was far ahead, and in terms of background, there was no comparison.

The largest telecommunications company in the country was at the center of power and had many supporters. How could a talent agency compete with them?

After beating Kang-in, Kim Young-min pointed at him and said, "I don't care what you do, even if you have to kneel, you must obtain Lee Yuhao's forgiveness. Otherwise, pack your things and get out of S.M. Get out... all of you, get out!!"

All the members of Super Junior left the president's office. Ryeo then asked, "Kang-in, why? Why did you do this? We were just joking with Lee Yuhao, but you... I want a reasonable explanation. This has gone too far, and it's not just your problem. It affects our entire group. I just want to know why you did this?"

Shindong then said, "I think Lee Yuhao is a good person. Although his achievements are indeed much better than ours... he is very polite, and everyone in the industry says so. No matter what program he participates in, he always greets the seniors before the recording starts. Even when he meets people at the TV station, he always greets them, not pretending not to see them. Everyone who has met him says he is a good person."

Eun-hyuk added, "Yes, I've met him twice at the TV station. I was facing away and didn't see him, but he came up to greet me. I also think he is a good person. Kang-in, what's going on? Did Lee Yuhao offend you?"

Lee Sung-min shook his head and said, "I think we shouldn't ask these questions now. The most important thing is to find someone to mediate this situation."

Shindong asked, "Who should we ask to mediate?"

Ryeo sighed and said, "Tae-yeon and Pani. They have a particularly good relationship with Lee Yuhao, but I think it's more important to first find out how badly he is injured."

On Tae-yeon's side, after Pani left in a huff, Tae-yeon and Sica were left speechless by Pani's words. The 'hidden camera' prank was Sica's sister's idea. If it weren't for her sister's bad idea, none of this would have happened. The Zheng sisters were primarily responsible for this.

Now, the situation had gone far beyond their original intentions, and Lee Yuhao had been seriously injured because of the 'hidden camera.' Seulgi, Jessica, and everyone who agreed to the plan were also to blame.

Tae-yeon and Sica, hearing Pani's accusations, started to cry, especially Sica. Lee Yuhao had even thought to protect her from getting hurt or from any accidental collision, which made Sica even more upset. She already felt very guilty because it was her sister's idea. Sica felt that Lee Yuhao's injuries were her fault...

Seulgi, being young and naive, shouldn't have followed along with Seulgi's mischief. Sica, tears streaming down her face, bowed to Tae-yeon and sincerely apologized, "Tae-yeon, I'm sorry. This is my fault, and I've dragged you into it."

"No, Sica, we all share the responsibility. We didn't consider the serious consequences, so we all share the responsibility. We can't blame you or Seulgi. Let's go upstairs. I think Seulgi and the others are also scared. As for Lee Yuhao... let's wait and see."

This time, the three members of Girls' Generation, Sica, Tae-yeon, Sunny, and the five members of f(x) were all at fault...
