Idol of the Heavenly One - Chapter 117.2
“……What? Is this real?”
“It’s real. I have to leave soon.”
“……Flying out?”
“Yeah.”
“……How did you get here?”
“I told the manager that it seems like you accidentally took my stuff.”
As he said that, Baek Jae-heon pressed his lips to mine again. I glanced toward the door, worried the manager might be waiting outside, but luckily the door was closed. There was no sound of anyone nearby, so he was probably still in the underground parking lot.
“I should go now.”
Baek Jae-heon held my face in his hands, looking at me with eyes full of longing, before finally standing up. Since he was about to leave and we would only see each other in three days, it was cute and endearing to see him cling to me like that. I grabbed his arm and kissed him first this time. Seeing his obvious delight, I smiled reluctantly and pushed him toward leaving.
“……Reality is so harsh.”
“Go quickly. The manager will be waiting.”
“……Myeong-hyeon is a little harsh too.”
So cute. He was bigger than me, but still adorable. I smiled and walked Baek Jae-heon to the entrance. Apparently, that wasn’t enough for him, because he insisted I escort him to the elevator as well. I swallowed a laugh and led him there.
He waved one last time with a face full of regret before taking the elevator down. I only turned back toward the dorm once the screen showed B2. It was four in the morning. Since the next schedule was at nine, I thought I could get an extra hour of sleep. I went straight to bed and collapsed into sleep. These days, I had to sleep whenever I could, because schedules and practice were exhausting.
Even with such a packed schedule, I couldn’t miss communicating with fans. I interacted with them a lot through Universe, but recently I used an app called ‘Bogle,’ which allowed personal, almost one-on-one chat with fans. It was convenient and fun because it felt like real-time interaction.
[What are you doing~]
Once I sent a message like that, fans would respond all at once. Reading each reply was so entertaining that I lost track of time. Some fans said they were studying or working, but the replies from office workers were especially hilarious. I could relate since I had been an office worker myself. Sometimes, the replies were so over-the-top funny I couldn’t stop laughing.
[Grandma: Before you set the company on fire, you, my sweet rain, come and melt me. Today too, Myeong-hyeon, you saved so many.]
[Baby: Phew, I almost passed out from being so busy, but I shook it off. I am a busy little guy.]
[Sweetie: I am currently sitting on the toilet cover at the office.]
The unusual responses made me laugh again. Ah, such cute and terrifying fans.
[Baek Jae-heon: I just got off the plane.]
I noticed someone had set the name as ‘Baek Jae-heon.’ Since they mentioned the plane, I wondered if it was really him, but fans often impersonated, so I didn’t think so. When I opened my personal chat, there was indeed a message from Baek Jae-heon.
[Jae-heon: I got off the plane. Are you working on your schedule?]
The timing was perfect. But the person sending messages on Bogle couldn’t possibly be a sasaeng who flew with him, right? How could the timing be this exact?
[Yes. Waiting after finishing one task.]
[Did a lot of sasaengs follow you?]
I asked just in case. Baek Jae-heon replied “A little?” and then sent a flood of messages asking why I was asking. I explained casually that I was just worried about him being tired.
The timing was so perfect that I sent a few more messages through Bogle to confirm the ‘Baek Jae-heon’ account.
[Baek Jae-heon: I miss you.]
[Baek Jae-heon: I really miss Ji Myeong-hyeon.]
[Baek Jae-heon: ㅠㅠ Your selfie is cute. I want to see it myself.]
[Baek Jae-heon: But you use Bogle so much ㅠㅠ]
[Baek Jae-heon: You don’t reply to my messages ㅠㅠ]
Something felt off. The way it was written… It felt exactly like him.
It didn’t take long for me to realize that it was really Baek Jae-heon.
