Chapter 1

Oh, shit. I’m late!

As soon as I got home, I rushed into the room and turned on the radio. When I adjusted the frequency, for a while, I heard the buzzing noise, and shortly after, a sound with a loud laugh came out. Listening to the sound, I sat down in a chair and took off my coat.

– Oh, Mr Seon-jae also joined the company with In-hyuk. When was the most challenging moment for you as a trainee?

I turned up the volume of the radio without taking off my socks. It was time for Seon-jae’s voice to come out.

– Ah…… I…um.

In the wavering voice, which doesn’t seem to remember well, Baek In-hyuk’s voice interceded.

– You remember about the Gamgam bridge.

– Oh, right! I lost my wallet that day. I finished practice early in the morning, but when I opened my bag, my wallet was nowhere to be seen. I didn’t have any money on hand, and I couldn’t call home because it was too late at night. So I had to walk. It took me near two hours walking from work to home. It took a while. All the bad things came at once. I couldn’t listen to music because my cell phone ran out of battery. It was winter at that time, but unfortunately, I put on slippers that day, and my toes froze.

I burst into laughter when I heard that his toes were frozen.

– As I passed the Gamgam Bridge, the lights of the buildings reflected in the Han River looked sad.

– Seon-jae probably cried that day.

– No, I didn’t cry.

– Then did you cry in your heart?

Baek In-hyuk and the other members laughed at the playful Seo Yoon-jae’s question. Everyone was laughing, but I was a little depressed.

This is because I couldn’t hear Seon-jae’s laughter. It was a pity that I could not see Seon-jae’s face because it was not a visible radio, but on the other hand, I felt fortunate that I could not check his sad face.

It has already been two years since Seon-jae joined the Potato Pancakes. However, fans still hated Seon-jae. They left comments on various sites and dug up a Twitter account to hunt Seon-jae.

Seon-jae couldn’t help but notice that fans weren’t delighted with him entering the group and that they even curse himself for it. Some fans shouted aloud in public broadcasts and fan signing events and,

Offensive words such as

The article’s comments were filled with criticisms such as ’Did you see it, reporter?’. Some commented sarcastically and ridiculously, saying, ‘He didn’t like hotel gowns’. Seon-jae’s fans knew that Seon-jae didn’t like to wear the hotel shower gown. This was because he often mentioned through V Live that his skin was sensitive and his hives were getting higher.

I covered my face with a scarf and bowed my head. My shoulders were shaking because I kept crying. Thinking that I had read an article about Seon-jae in the subway, I put my cell phone in my pocket.

I closed my eyes tight, which were swollen as a result of crying all night long. Tears dripped down and soaked my scarf.
