" WHO would you like to collaborate with for your next project? "

" what is one message you would give to your fans after they show their support on your latest hits? Who is your inspiration behind those songs you composed? "

" what scandals have your team covered up? How's you and Ms. Kim? Is it true that you guys have gone for a date? "

" what would be a good theme song for your upcoming movie? "

" have you ever done any projects with Mr. Jeong? "

Blinding flashes and shutter sounds that stretched prominently around the area were starting to attract more attention to the other passerby which only made the commotion escalate too quickly the moment they saw this certain male already stepped from his temporary sanctuary.

At those rambling words were being thrown at him and the large crowd that swarmed him unashamedly, the well-known actor couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. As if he knew what he was supposed to do, he just showed the fake smile he always wears whenever he came to deal with those people.... who were trying to invade his privacy, ask useless things, follow him whatever or wherever he goes anytime, spread fake rumors about him, and support him like that was the right thing to do.

He likes the feeling of being around someone who genuinely rooting for him and he was very thankful at that attention he was getting, but then... he started to distance himself from the things he used to love.

" I am sorry to say, but he can't entertain any of your questions. We are deeply sorry. We have to go, excuse me... "

The actor then sent sincere gratitude to his younger friend who happened to be his manager for always taking care of him and didn't leave his side when he needed someone he could lean on. The said male with security guards on his side was now being ushered towards their personal service and without looking back, he hurriedly hopped inside the backseat.

When he was already out of their sight, he took off his black aviator and a heavy sigh escaped from his mouth as finally, he could go back to his home and rest after a long day for him. Same routine, same old. Nothing new. He still felt so exhausted whenever he was attending schedules from left to right, meet and greet, recordings, tapings.... he felt like something was burdening on his chest that couldn't lift them off easily... and he knew what it was.

" Doyoung, you still have another photoshoot--- "

" cancel them all " the said male chimed in as his gaze was still looking out to the window, spacing out when a thought suddenly came up to his mind.

" w-what??? " even though he didn't see his face fully, the actor saw his older friend, Jungwoo gave him a confounded look.

" cancel them all " Doyoung reiterated in a dismissive tone but he knew the latter will ask him tons of questions because that was his first time to decline any offers and opportunities from the other company which everyone, including his manager, would be confused at his sudden decision.

He had to. He had enough.

" why???? you and the team already had an agreement about this. What's with the sudden change of mind? " Jungwoo asked with its furrowed eyebrows being shot towards the older male who was still not giving him a single glance.
