Chapter 3.1

Trouble Maker Yeon Seo

Kim Yi Jun, a member of the boy group "One Seven," who had left Yoo Yeon Seo's hospital room, sat in a taxi and was lost in thought.

They weren't close enough for Kim Yi Jun to visit Yeon Seo in the hospital. It was an impulsive act with no real meaning behind it.

He just happened to be passing by and thought it would be amusing to ridicule Yu Yeon Seo who was apparently in a critical state. This could be counted as a 0.3gram act of kindness on his part.

‘I didn't expect him to open the door just because I came...'

To his surprise, Yu Yeon Seo regained consciousness after a fortnight and even invited him into the room without checking who it was at the door.

“So, why are you here? Without even any notice.”

"Didn't you block my number?"

Bandages were wrapped around his head and arm, and his face was pale and gaunt. It was no longer possible to laugh at him. He had thought of them as light injuries being exaggerated by the media. Looking at it now, it did seem quite serious.

"...Does it hurt a lot?"

Kim Yi Jun couldn't help but ask, and Yoo Yeon Seo chuckled bitterly.

"Is that all you came to say? Be honest. You came to make fun of me."

"Yeah, that's right. Honestly, you look terrible. How's your acting career going? I heard you are getting pushed back by supporting actors because you can't act."

Kim Yi Jun answered coldly. However, his heart weakened, so he added a further explanation.

"Even so, I'm not such a jerk that I'd say something to a patient in this condition, unlike someone else."

“Is that so? You are quite the grown-up.”

Yoo Yeon Seo was sarcastic, but deep down he felt good. He had barely any friends who would come to visit him.

He recalled the faces of his old teammates he met at the awards ceremony. The deep resentment he saw in their eyes, the way they distanced themselves because they didn't want to be in the same space. Yoo Yeon Seo spoke hesitantly.

"Do you guys still resent me?"

“Isn’t that obvious?”

"It's been 5 or 6 years since I left, right? Even after so long?"

"I don't know how long it's been for you, but for me and the other members, it's like it happened yesterday. You are not the only one who had a tough time as a trainee."

Kim Yi Jun felt his anger rising. He had come to pick a fight, but instead, he was the one being picked on.

“Hey, Kim Yi Jun.”

"What."

"You, and the other guys, don't waste your energy on such petty things."

"What? Petty?”

"Just forget about me and live your lives. Got it? Now get out of here."

Yeon Seo was perplexed and Kim Yi Jun scowled.

"Why would you want to waste your energy and time on a kid who was only active for a few months?"

I guess Yeon Seo and Jun still keep in touch. I hope they get along well ᅲᅲᅲ [crying emoticon]

└ 93s Hello

BEBE @BEBEBEBEBEBE

Oh wow!!!!! Why go there!!

└That's what I'm saying. Doesn't he have any self-respect? Why are you going there ᅲᅲᅲ

└Yeah, he's not a member anymore, so please don't get involved.

└He's not been a member of One Seven for several years now, why are you still worrying about him?

"Ah...."

"Why did you go and get your picture taken there?”

“What did the manager say?”

"We agreed to say that you went for a health check-up, not to see Yeon Seo at the hospital."

Since there wouldn't be any good words said if you're associated with him, who left on bad terms. The agency has also distanced itself from this.

At the sound of Kim Yi Jun's voice, the other members came out of the room one by one and gathered around him. Their gazes expressed more contempt than curiosity.

“Why did you go?”

"I figured I'd finally confirm to see if he's given up. You know how much I hated Yeon Seo."

The six members of One Seven couldn't help but hate Yoo Yeon Seo and whenever they saw his face, they would reflexively be disgusted.

“So, is he doing okay?”

“He hasn't given up and looks like he's in a bad state. He's even got nose bleeds.”

"Really? That brat, he's always causing problems."

ONE SEVEN, a group name of six members that meant "seven people are one ‘,' had to quickly come up with an explanation for their name every time they introduced themselves because of Yeon Seo's sudden departure.

“But wasn’t the car accident Yeon Seo’s fault?”

“A drug dealer was driving under the influence and crashed, and it was even at the Hanbok District in Gangnam.”

“Tsk, only the manager ended up in a pitiful state.”

Kim Yi Jun, who blankly watched the members tear into Yeon Seo, said in a dazed tone.

"What if, just what if."

"Uh?"

“What if Yoo Yeon Seo had left for reasons he couldn't say... what do you think would have happened?”

“Yi Jun Hyung is good at writing novels.”

Hyung = brother
