Our Confession - Han Seojun ff

Chapter 5 = Collaboration

Sung Hoon almost fell down from his chair when he heard about the collab and I could clearly see jealousy dripping out of his eyes. Seon Gyeom and Taesung on the other hand were very happy for me. I don't know how to feel now that I have agreed to this collaboration after Misoo sneaked out to convince me. I don't tell anyone about my encounter with her because it didn't seem like she wanted anyone to know about it.

By the next day, the collaboration had become a national news and it seemed impossible that someone didn't know about it in Korea. Even someone without access to Internet or a mobile phone seemed to know about it because it was all over the newspapers and news channels. Now, I am not the type to brag about popularity but this really seemed like something. No matter in a positive or negative way, we had become the most talked about people in Korea. Our popularity really is no joke, I thought people just said it as a formality.

Our collaboration became the top trend in Korea and a lot of fans seemed really happy about it to the point that they had totally forgotten about the dating rumors. Of course there was negative audience too but I tried to avoid them and focus on the positive ones instead.

Now that I have seen the amount of support, I really want this collaboration to turn out well because disappointing the audience after creating so much hype will break my heart too. And so, we started working on it from the very next day.

I and manager went to the agency together to discuss about the collaboration with Misoo and her manager but I don't know what came up that she couldn't make up even though I saw her while entering the agency but when we reached the hall, her manager said something came up and she had to leave. Probably got her makeup spoiled, female idols are more conscious about it.

So today, I and manager are going to the agency again. As usual I am seated all by myself in the car and manager is seated in the seat in front of me in which Misoo was seated two days before. As usual, she has her tab in her hands, busy with scheduling yet another thing for us. I sometimes feel bad for her that she spends all her time taking care of others and barely has any time for herself. That's one reason she looks older than her age or she isn't as old as she looks like.

I sigh and look around the rest empty car. I am used to going everywhere with my group members so it feels really unusual to sit in the car only with my manager and not my group members annoying me and taking selfies with each other. I wonder how soloists move around in huge cars alone. Don't they get bored?

From the word soloist, I suddenly think about Misoo. Why is she nervous all the time? I partially remember her receiving the award on the *scandal* night as I got busy talking with Sung Hoon but she didn't seem nervous at all.

I open YouTube and type Misoo live performance and open the first performance I find in HD quality. I don't usually watch live performances - except my own but that also just to check if I performed well or not. The performance takes a lot of time to load as the network is very poor in the middle of the road but once it does, it don't fail in telling the entire Seoul.

The video opens with a pang and high beat music starts beating from the first beat and I muffle the speaker of my phone instantly to tone it down. I look up to see my manager looking at me with her fingers frozen in the place. I mute the music instantly. How the hell did I forget to wear ear pods?

Manager removes her ear pods and her pupils are more dilated than I have ever seen. "You scared me!"

"I am sorry," I frown, still huffing because of the sudden rush of panic.

"You never play songs in car? What is it today?" She asks, putting ear pods in her ears.

"I..." I stutter to find a perfect excuse, "It just played while I was scrolling on Instagram. I forgot to wear ear pods."
