A few days later.

Zhang Hao finished all his schedules for the day, and is now being driven back to his apartment by his manager. Although he is exhausted after the long day he had, he isn't excited about getting back to his lonely apartment. Even though he is always surrounded by staff or his fans, he still feels lonely a lot because there is no-one in his life he can really talk to or spend time with. Otherwise it's not like he has a lot of free time anyway because of his packed schedule.


"Are you okay?" Zhang Hao's thoughts are being interrupted by the manager's question. 

"Just tired." He replies.

 The manager looks at him with a worried look. He has been noticing how much quieter and reserved Hao has become. When he first came to the company from China he used to be so lively and full of energy while working. Originally Hao trained to be in an idol group, but when the company's most successful group disbanded, they felt pressured to quickly debut someone new. Since the other trainees didn't seem ready yet and Hao already had some fans because of pre debut dance videos, the company decided to make him a soloist. At first he was fine with the decision since he still got to live his dream, and his debut was quite succesfull, but over time he started to realise the consequences of that decision. Almost two years after his debut, Hao actually once went to the CEO to ask if he could maybe redebut in a group, which took a lot of courage as the former CEO was a very intimidating person. Hao will never be able to forget the events of that night... Even though that CEO is not the lead of the company anymore, Hao definitely would never dare to ask something similar ever again.

"Should I stop somewhere on the way, so you can get some food?" Hao's thoughts once again get interrupted by the managers question.

"No that's okay. I'll probably just order something later" he replies.It's not like he doesn't like the idea of staying out but because he is so famous, he can't just wander around public places. He used to sneak out a lot because he enjoyed to discover new spots, but not anymore not after what happened...

Once arrived at home, he just sits down on his couch scrolling through his social media. He feels completely drained and exhausted but seeing all the encouragements from fans and seeing people try his dance challenges makes him feel a bit better. After a while he decides that he should get some food, since he has been starving himself the past few days for the magazine shoot he had that day. He decides that he wants some comfort food, but he still hesitates because he knows, it's probably not the healthiest choice and because there were times he would have gotten badly punished for it . After contemplating for a while he decides to get a small fried chicken tteokbokki combo set, thinking nothing too bad would happen to him. He then goes to wash up while waiting for his food to arrive. After putting on some comfortable clothes, he is just about to start drying his hair when the doorbell rings.
