Chapter 184

What? Are we the perpetrators?

The members greeted Ian, who entered the practice room proudly with two trophies from the Art Awards.

What is this?

Oh, hes here, hes here.

They brought a red blanket from somewhere and laid it on the floor, pretending it was a red carpet.

Congratulations on the award!Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

Wow, what a surprise.

The members sang a congratulatory tune with their mouths and gathered around Ian. They even set off small fireworks that came with the cake. Ian laughed and accepted their hospitality.

When did you prepare this?

The exhibition hall where the awards ceremony was held and the agency in Apgujeong were not far apart, so the members didnt have much time to prepare.

The members lit the candles on the cake they bought hastily near the agency and pushed it in front of Ian.

We expected you to win the award.

Youre not the only one who can guess well.

Hyung, blow out the candles. My arm hurts.

Ian heard Kim Hyuns words and blew out the candles. Then, Park Seodam, who was holding the cake, turned around quickly.

Cake! How are we going to eat this?

Dont we have leftover chopsticks from when we ate cup noodles?

Wow, its been a long time, cake.

The mood changed from celebration to eating in an instant, and Ian exclaimed in vain.

Excuse me?

Chopsticks here!

Wow, I was just low on sugar.

Hey, Ian, come and eat too.

Ian pointed at himself with his index finger and uttered in dismay.

Am I being used?

Used? Thats too harsh.

Dont ignore our sincerity.

Lee Juhyuk and Kim Hyun said that while tearing the wooden chopsticks and tasting the cream of the cake with happy faces.

Dont pretend youre not.

Ian chuckled. They prepared with care, but when they actually did it, they acted like they didnt. This was how the members congratulated him.

Ill just have a bite.

Wow, is that a bite, Jinyuk hyung? Isnt that a whole bowl?

Wait a minute, Im the main character, right?

As Ian was about to join the members and eat the cake, a short notification sound rang from his phone, indicating that an important person was calling.

Ill take a call for a moment.

Hey, were sincerely, huh? Congratulating you, and youre taking a call?

Youre sincerely eating the cake, arent you? Park Jinyuk looked at Ians face, which had risen sharply, with cream on his cheek.

Who is it?

My mom.

You have to answer your mom.

Park Jinyuk quickly changed his attitude and opened the practice room door. Ian came out to the hallway and answered the video call from his parents.

(Son!)

Yes, mom. Dad is there too. How have you been? How was the trip?

(We came back well, we just got home. It would have been nice if you came with us)

(Son, congratulations on the award!)

Ian, who was about to mention the award first, widened his eyes.

How did you know? You said you just got home.

(Theres a way to know.)

They shouldnt have had time to look up the internet when they just got home Did the article go up that fast? Ian tilted his head.

(Are you, are you hurt anywhere?)

No, Im fine. I dont get sick easily, you know.

(Im glad youre healthy.)

After a long conversation with his parents, Ian met the Fever members on his way back to the practice room.

Ian hyung!

Hey, another one came out.

Where, where?

Ill read it to you. Our family is a recipient of basic living assistance, and I stabbed a dagger in the hearts of my parents who only look at me because of a thoughtless comment. Please, if you could spare me just once

Pfft!

The members held back their laughter as Park Jinhyuk recited mockingly.

What, are we the perpetrators?

What the hell do they want?

The members of Awi had visited the law firm office in Gwanghwamun during their lunch break.

It was a sudden request, but the law firm had cleared a large conference room for the members. On the desk, there was a thick stack of apology letters from the offenders.

There must be some people who havent been caught yet.

And those people wouldnt stop writing malicious comments. Ian scanned the pile of documents in front of him with a bored expression.

Why do they all sound the same?

Hey, another divorce.

Hope you have a family feud.

Most of the apology letters appealed to emotions. They said they had single mothers, they got divorced because of this, or their job search was hindered by this.

Dont look too closely, guys.

Kim Myung-jin accompanied the law firm while Seo Su-ryeon and Park Dong-su went on their honeymoon. He was worried that the members might get hurt again by seeing what kind of comments the offenders had written, so he was kicking his feet behind them.

Can I shred these?

The members were fine, unlike Kim Myung-jins concern.

Yes, we already made copies and we sent the same ones to the judge.

At the secretarys words, the members carefully put the apology letters into the document shredder on the wall.

Jo Tae-woong smiled broadly. The sound of the paper being shredded was pleasant to hear. He felt ashamed that he had been hurt by these peoples words.

Hey, are you okay now?

Yeah.

Ian looked at Jo Tae-woongs face and bowed slightly to the secretary.

Thank you for making time for us, even though youre busy.

Dont mention it, youre our client. If you really feel sorry, how about taking some pictures of our employees who are pretending not to look but peeking in?

Awis popularity was evident in the law firm. When the secretary lifted the blinds of the conference room, some employees who were standing up and watching pretended not to and went back to their seats.

Let me take a picture of you first.

The members laughed at the secretarys words. They gladly agreed to take pictures and went out of the conference room to sign for the employees.

You can post it on MyStar.

Yeah, make the malicious commenters tremble.

No!

Kim Myung-jin hurried over and apologized to the employees. He was trying to minimize the exposure before the comeback, especially since Jo Tae-woongs surprise return was at stake.

Im sorry. Can you please post it on SNS after our kids comeback?

Kim Myung-jin was sweating profusely to resolve the situation, when someone called Ian.

Ian.

Mr. Ji, Mr. Jeong.

The person who called him was Ji Woon-jo and Jeong Yeon-jae, lawyers who were friends with Ians father and college classmates.

Is this the first time since you signed the contract with the law firm?

Yes, how have you been?

Were so busy, were dying.

Ji Woon-jo lawyer whined.

They had a lot of experience at the law firm Seo and Woo, and they were the ones who willingly agreed to the request of Ians parents.

As soon as they received the contact, they came to the agency and signed the contract, and they were sending the complaints to the offenders quickly.

Thank you so much. I was going to buy you a meal anyway

Never mind, how can we take a meal from our nephew.

Jeong lawyer waved his hand.

No, I feel uncomfortable. Do you have time tonight?

Tonight? Ji lawyer, what do you think?

Ji lawyer and Jeong lawyer looked at each other.

I happen to have no schedule today.

Me too. Then shall we get a meal from our successful entertainer?

Ian laughed.

Ill treat you to something expensive.

He was curious about something. It was a good opportunity.
