Chapter 350

On the way home, I immediately realized the reality.

'When am I going to say it?'

There's no time.

We're not in a touring season where I could flexibly take a break if I wanted to.

At worst, it's the start of a busy season where the schedule is set in minutes.

'It's hard to get out now.'

During this crazy schedule, there will be no time to talk with Seon AhHyun separately.

But the answer was easy to find.

"We can use my room."

"...!"

"I'm alone in my room~ Let's talk in the evening after the schedule!"

That's right.

Coincidentally, the guy who had a single room in the dormitory knew all about the situation. We don't have to go out and look for a space.

"Of course, SeJinie needs to sleep too~ If the story drags on, I'll use your room...MoonDae MoonDae? Are you listening?"

"Yes, thank you."

After coordinating some schedules on the plane, I decided to call Seon AhHyun separately as soon as we arrived at the apartment.....

"For now, I'll be there too. No matter how much AhHyun likes his friends, an atmosphere needs to be created and preparations need to be made so that he can trust others~."

That's right.

Still, Seon AhHyun seemed to care that Keun SeJin and I had something that we didn't share with him, so let's leave the other parties alone.

I talked to AhHyun on the filming set of a commercial that day we went to after leaving the airport.

"AhHyun-ah."

"Yes?"

"Once we go home to the apartment after filming, I was thinking that we should talk with SeJin in the evening?"

"Yes! Yes! Of course!"

"Ah, good."

He was very active. Thanks to this, the appointment was made in a jiffy.

Just like that, three people of the same age (in body) sat around the sofa in Keun SeJin's single room.

"Come on, sit down comfortably!"

"Ah, yes...!"

"....."

I don't know how he can sleep with ten of his character dolls right in front of his bed. Are his nerves made of iron?

Anyway, I turned my back to the dolls and looked at Seon AhHyun.

AhHyun looked nervous, but he seemed to expect more than that.

'His eyes are glowing.'

No, it's because of how big the secret is...It's true.

Yes. I didn't know he would be talking so openly about this last year.

"Hmm."

I cleared my throat and opened my mouth.

"First of all...I'm sorry if you've been feeling a little left out lately."

"N-no...! Of course, uh, you didn't have to tell me...Everyone's working so hard, so..."

"...?"

Wait.

I looked at Keun SeJin again. A puzzled look crosses his face.

Meanwhile, AhHyun blushes and keeps talking.

"I can't lead a good conversation...I don't do a good job in business either.....Yeah, I don't think I'm easy to share ideas with..."

"....."

Hey, this...

Apparently, Seon AhHyun thought that Keun Sejin and I were running a grandiose and complicated behind-the-scenes business.

And I think he thought I didn't share it with him even though it was a group job because he wasn't reliable enough.

For a moment, I remembered AhHyun's recent activities and restrained myself from complaining.

'So...Was that why you actively participated in the work?'

Now the puzzle fits together perfectly.

'Damn.'

He's confused.

I put strength into the hand I was about to bring to my forehead to press it.

'This is...because I've been hiding it.'

Because of this secrecy, the Ryu CheongWoo and Keun SeJin incident broke out, so my brain was convinced that was it.

If you want to know something about me, of course it must be my secret.

"....."

Okay. But if so...There's no need to tell Seon AhHyun about my identity.

'It's someone who can't even guess it.'

This is the right time to bypass the seal or press problems with appropriate lies.

Seon AhHyun will let this go.

'...But is it okay?'

I clenched my fist.

I'll have to shut this guy out every time I deal with system-related stuff, but won't he feel more deceived?

If that's the case, I shouldn't have said anything.

'At this point, I have nothing to say, even if you threaten me not to deceive him anymore.'

I can say that it's not a work-related issue, but it's right to clarify that I can't say it because it's personal. Because we had a misunderstanding.

AhHyun might be a little disappointed, but things will be resolved anyway.

'...The problem is...'

That I...I don't want to do that.

It's ridiculous.

"....."

I spoke half impulsively.

"It wasn't...a work thing. I never thought you couldn't work in the first place."

"Hmm?"

"It's just my problem."

I swallowed my saliva. Somehow I feel a little motivated.

"Originally I wasn't Park MoonDae, but I'm living as Park MoonDae."

".....??"

"I couldn't talk about it, so I shut up."

"What?"

Just as I told Keun SeJin what had happened so far, I started to explain it to Seon AhHyun.

"When I opened my eyes a few years ago, I was in someone else's body."

Still, my sentences come out more organized and in a clearer tone because I had said them before...

'...This really...really isn't something to say sober.'

"So, in my eyes, it's like a hologram?"

"Kujujuju!"

"...If you laugh one more time, I'll leave you out."

"Eeeeh? It's my room, but MoonDae will throw me out...Sorry, that doll was given to me by a fan. MoonDae-nim, be careful."

I went through a few moments of crisis a couple of times where I desperately wanted to drink, but anyway, I counted roughly and got through them without a problem.

'If necessary, I'll talk about Gold 2 or CheongRyu another time.'

There was no need to tell a complicated and diverse story to a guy who had no clue.

I finished the story with some supplementary explanations from Keun SeJin.

"...So now I'm doing it right."

"....."

I finished, but...he's not responding.

I opened my mouth again in a hurry.

"I couldn't say it easily because it's too unrealistic. This guy figured it out halfway."

"That's right, I figured it out quickly~ Park MoonDae tried not to tell anyone, but in fact, I ended up finding out everything."

"....."

And when I looked up, I saw AhHyun's expressionless face.

He looked at SeJin and me a few times, then looked down slightly.

"...I-I see."

"Yes."

Then he fell silent.

"....."

"....."

For longer...than I thought.

'...Why?'

I didn't even ask questions.

When I broke out in a cold sweat behind the back of my neck...

Seon AhHyun opened his mouth again.

But I wasn't the one he was speaking to.

It was Keun SeJin.

"...S-So, SeJin, have you heard all this...before...?"

"Yes, but it wasn't that long ago...It hasn't even been a few months."

"What...what...did you...think? When you heard it...for the first time."

"Hmm?"

SeJin shrugged.

"There's no reason for MoonDae to lie about this, is there?"

"...!"

"Because of everything I know about MoonDae so far...that's what I thought."

"....."

At SeJin's words, AhHyun lowered his head again.

'What do you have in mind?'

Why do you do that without asking me about the content? No, of course, it's quite shocking...Still...

I bit my tongue.

'Stop speculating unnecessarily.'

Obviously, it's possible that I'm curious about the thoughts of the person who heard the story first.

But...

I opened and closed my hand several times, then released it, and opened my mouth.

"If you find that hard to believe..."

But I couldn't finish that sentence.

This is because Seon AhHyun replied.

"...I-it's not like that. I believe you."

"...!"

He looked up and smiled a little with a slightly tired complexion.

"Yes.....T-That's true. MoonDae is not a person who lies about it...Of course I know that."

"....."

"It-must have been difficult.....MoonDae-yah, so far...you've been through a lot."

Somehow I was at a loss for words.

I was able to calmly respond after clearing my throat a couple of times.

"That's why I made a lot of money and did well. Okay."

"Yes....."

AhHyun replied quietly.

"But...if you're going through a hard time, tell me."

"MoonDae must be feeling calmer, right? He has two who support him~ Ah, CheongWoo hyung also knows a little."

".....Che-CheongWoo hyung also...?"

"Oh, it's because he and hyung have family circumstances...?"

I confirmed that Seon AhHyun listened carefully to what Keun SeJin explained.

His face is full of concentration.

"....."

Will it...end well?

Keun SeJin shuddered when he finished his explanation.

"No wonder we haven't been the same age since "Icorpo." In the end, only the two of us know all about MoonDae~ Get it right, MoonDae-yah."

It ended up being funny in the end. After thinking about it for a moment, I extended my hand towards AhHyun.

"Yes, please take care of me, AhHyun-ah."

AhHyun held it with a slightly trembling hand.

It was a little cold, but it had strength.

"...Yes!"

And when he answered, what I saw in his eyes was clearly joy.

That was enough.

The next day, Seon AhHyun's attitude didn't change and I...I think I felt a little relieved.

* * *

A few days later.

A slightly unique schedule is back.

"Hmm, tomorrow is the day we go to the University to do a performance."

"Oooh!"

After almost two years, we have the first university festival back on our schedule.

It's because our value rose so high last year that we have been persistently invited since our debut.

Since we come from "Icorpo," and since our debut song, all our songs have been good and have become popular enough that even college students can listen and enjoy them.

Also, the university festival performance is quite a fun event, so everyone reacted well.

"Oh~ it's been a while. Sounds like fun."

"That's right, is it going to be an outdoor concert hall?"

That's how the conversation started, and after a few minutes the story of the university itself flowed. Well, chatting in the car is always like that.

"I'd like to attend a lecture if I get the chance later on."

"I see. I don't regret taking classes at an online university to accompany work, but I'm still curious about other options."

And Cha YooJin shrugged his shoulders.

"I had a scholarship, but I came to Korea. That's awesome!"

"Waah."

"That's really great."

No one will be able to refute it. Even Kim RaeBin also nodded.

"Why did you do that?"

"Hmm, because dancing is fun? You know, it's what I wanted."

And since he did so well, it's okay to say that he left the scholarship.

Even I, who had covered my living expenses by selling data while maintaining my scholarship, had a job completely unrelated to my major.

"Hyung! Are you thinking of going to college, hyung?"

"No."

I don't want to go a second time.

Every time I start thinking about things I have to do a second time...it comes to my mind that I might have to do active military service, so I'll stop.

'Huh.....'

I envy the gold medalists and foreigners.

"OK~ Let's go look around the campus! It's possible if we do it secretly!"

"All right...if we have enough time."

While listening to Cha YooJin's nonsense, I checked the university festival on the schedule list with a rather strange feeling.

There was only one reason.

"MoonDae MoonDae, is this the university you graduated from?"

"Yes."

When Cha YooJin stopped patting my shoulder from the back seat, Keun SeJin leaned towards me and asked that question.

That's the university I went to.

'This will be the first time I will go there with this body.'

If it wasn't for work, I wouldn't have to go there.

And only in this agency, university events are paid hard and places that are close to other events are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

But this time, it looks like this university paid the biggest and fastest amount.

'They are spending kids' tuition money cold.'

They were increasing tuition fees for kids from wealthy families every year.

I furrowed my eyebrows and passed the schedule. Keun SeJin, who was next to me, crushed me by leaning toward Seon AhHyun, who was on the other side.

"AhHyun AhHyun~ This is the university that MoonDae attended."

".....I-I see."

AhHyun asked me cautiously.

"How...are you feeling?"

"Well, more or less."

I smiled.

"It's been a long time since I graduated and changed campuses once, so, honestly, I'm not that impressed."

Keun SeJin smiled.

"It's okay, hyung-nim."

"....."

Stop it, you bastard.

"Kujujujuju..."

I held back my sighs when I heard SeJin shake his shoulders and try to contain his laughter. AhHyun smiled awkwardly.

'Well...I just need to do well on stage.'

It was the first Korean event in a long time. I cracked my neck.

Our turn is at the end.

If time permitted, we were in a position where we could sing three or four encores.

'Although I don't think...we'll have free time to sing all of them.'

But, as usual, things didn't go as I had hoped.
