Idol of the Heavenly One - Chapter 90.1
I could sense what that look in his eyes meant. This time, Baek Jae-heon reached out first and hugged my shoulder. The warmth of his embrace brought out a flood of resentment, guilt, and an indescribable sadness. Even without words, his breath spoke everything.
I could fully feel what he wanted to say, so I just slowly patted his back, as if to say I understood everything. I comforted him quietly. After a moment of stillness, Baek Jae-heon cautiously spoke.
“If, just in case, something like that ever happens again……”
“……”
“You must never do that.”
Desperation leaked out through his short breaths.
“……Promise me, okay?”
He demanded an answer. It was as if he needed a promise, his waiting mixed into the exhaled breath slipping past his lips. But I couldn’t bring myself to say I would comply. If he were in danger again, my body would react first. Perhaps sensing my hesitation, Baek Jae-heon tightened the arms around me.
I could feel his fingertips trembling. The message was clear: please, don’t do that.
“I really……”
His voice was slightly hoarse.
“Don’t die……”
“So promise me you won’t ever do that again, okay?”
The emotion behind those words wasn’t just fear. It was a nearly instinctual cry of, “I don’t want to lose you.” I understood just how desperate it was, and I could no longer hold back.
Finally, I took a short breath and nodded, “Okay.” At that moment, Baek Jae-heon rested his forehead on my shoulder. He inhaled slowly, deeply, near my neck.
As if confirming my presence, as if memorizing my scent. The breath tickled slightly, making me flinch, yet it was strangely comforting.
We both understood the weight of that emotion. We held each other for a long while, as if time had stopped.
The only sounds filling the hospital room were our warmth and heartbeats.
Then—
Knock knock.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Immediately after, the door clicked open. I startled and pushed Baek Jae-heon slightly.
“……”
I moved back quickly but met the eyes of two nurses holding a blood pressure monitor. One paused momentarily, while the other widened their eyes.
“……”
A suffocating silence hung in the air. I awkwardly swallowed, and Baek Jae-heon glanced at them once, then got up to make it easier for the checkup.
Hopefully this doesn’t get out.

Hello, this is YEARZ Cheonmyeong.
Minute~ I know you were worried the past few days.
I slept a lot to make up for lost sleep, so I woke up a little late. Sorry for making you worry. I am recovering well without any major issues. 🙂
My family, members, and staff have been taking care of me all day, so I feel very secure. Especially Jae-heon won’t leave my sideㅠ What should I do with this clingy guyㅠ Please, someone take Irip hyung away. He is really noisy.
I also heard some Minuts couldn’t sleep because they were worried about me, so I want to say now that everything is really okay.
I have been reading all the posts you left over the past few days, one by one. Each line was so warm, thank you, sorry, and thank you again. That feeling lingers.
I will recover quickly and see you all. I will show even better and cooler stages! So everyone, eat well, don’t catch a cold, and take care of your hearts and bodies. Always!
Thank you so much and I love you all.

As soon as Myeong-hyeon regained consciousness, he posted online so fans wouldn’t worry. Truly filial. He slept a lot and woke up late, and even added humor saying, “Please take Irip hyung away. He is really noisy.”
