The smell of grilled meat hit Beomgyu's nose when he found himself in a bulgogi restaurant with his friends Jisung, Namjoo and Hoetaek.

The classic wooden table in the middle of the room was equipped with a grill on which the delicious bulgogi was to be prepared, surrounded by low chairs. The rest of the table was decorated with various side dishes, dips and fresh vegetables. The dim lighting gave the room a pleasant atmosphere and the aroma of this delicious food was in the air. The waitresses wore traditional hanboks and made sure that the guests had everything they needed for their culinary experience.

While Jisung talked about his past role in 'Destiny's Melody' and received teasing words from his friends, Beomgyu didn't seem to be listening at all.

He was lost in thought.

His eyes lingered thoughtfully on the table as he pondered the recent headlines regarding Yeonjun and the plagiarism allegation. The atmosphere at the table felt a hint of tension as Beomgyu tried to hide his discomfort. His friends immediately noticed the change in his mood and tried to steer the conversation towards something interesting. But Beomgyu's thoughts continued to revolve around the incriminating news and the potential impact on Yeonjun's career.

What's more, the article had hit him hard because it was about Soyeon.

Soyeon had been a good friend of Beomgyu's since childhood. The two had discovered their love of music together and spent countless hours composing melodies and sharing their dreams of a musical career. Soyeon had become like a sister to Beomgyu, and her sudden disappearance a few years ago had shaken him deeply.

The idea of Yeonjun being accused of plagiarizing Soyeon's work intensified Beomgyu's emotional reaction to the news. Memories of Soyeon's lively laughter, her blonde curls and her soft voice were paired with thoughts of the beautiful moments they had shared.

"What's wrong with Beomgyu?" Hoetaek asked his other two friends, still unaware of the current circumstances. And because the young actor was completely beside himself, no one wanted to speak to him directly.

But Namjoo took on the task directly, but unfortunately she didn't mince her words and announced with amusement: "He slept with Choi Yeonjun."

"What?" Hoetaek spat out in shock and stared at Beomgyu with widened eyes. It was clear that no one had expected this.

Especially not Yeonjun.

"Do you mean the singer Choi Yeonjun?" added Jisung, who was now beginning to understand Beomgyu's strange expressions.

Beomgyu nodded slowly, even as his gaze glanced around the restaurant. "It might be better not to shout his name across the room," he hissed.

The news seemed to go through the table like a shockwave, and silence hung in the air for a moment. Hoetaek's eyes were still wide, while Jisung and Namjoo looked back and forth between Beomgyu and their own surprises.
