Chapter 41

When Eun woo answered Jimin's phone call, he sounded floored. "A concert? Choi Beomgyu's concert?"

Worried that Eun woo might refuse to go, Jimin said, "Yeah. He's an omega star who's been really popular recently. He's good-looking, and he's great at singing too."

"I know!" Eun woo's excitement was audible over the phone. "I'm a big fan of his!"

"......"

"He's so cute!" Eun woo's fervour had yet to recede. "And his new song Everyday is a Sweet New Day is super nice!"

"...really."

Eun woo then asked, "Is it the Saturday concert?"

"Yes," replied Jimin.

"All right, I'll find someone to swap shifts with me," said Eun woo. "I'll definitely be on time this Saturday!"

"That's great."

On Saturday afternoon, Jimin clocked out and left the company right on the dot, taking a taxi to the vicinity of Beomgyu's concert venue, where he met up with Eun woo and stopped for dinner nearby.

The restaurant was within a spitting distance away from the venue; there was over half an hour before the concert began, but they noticed that droves of young men and women had already congregated in the area. The majority of them were betas, and they were all holding support kits as they chatted and took pictures with each other in high spirits.

Eun woo was similarly elated. During the meal, he kept prattling on about the idol drama Beomgyu starred in as well as his newly released song.

Seeing how thrilled Eun woo was, Jimin said, "I had dinner with Beomgyu some time ago. If I'd known that you were his fan, I would've invited you."

Eun woo adjusted his glasses, his eyes widening. "Really?"

"Yeah, he's the spokesperson for Hyungjin's new fall products," said Jimin.

Hearing this, Eun woo inquired, "Did you go with Taehyung?"

Jimin nodded.

"Your relationship seems pretty good these days?"

"We're okay," said Jimin.

"Have you remembered anything?"

"Actually, I can't say that I've remembered something, exactly," said Jimin. "But there's definitely been some progress." He then proceeded to tell Eun woo about what happened on the night he visited the old lab.

Eun woo nodded and said, "Progress is always good. You should come by the hospital for your scheduled therapy sessions as soon as you can though."

Jimin had been too caught up in work recently. He'd postponed his therapy sessions twice already, and Eun woo clearly disapproved.

"I'll go once I'm less busy," Jimin said with a smile.

Eun woo shook his head. "You have the time to go to a concert."

Jimin suddenly whispered, "I didn't actually come here to watch the show."

"Eh?" Eun woo was taken aback.

"I'll tell you later," said Jimin.

They entered the venue through the VIP passage, so they didn't have to waste time queuing. The VIP seats were quite near to the stage; they looked for their seat number, and when they located them in the second row, Eun woo couldn't resist pulling out his phone and snapping a picture, which he then posted to his WeChat Moments.

There were around twenty or so minutes before the concert was due to start, yet most of the seats around them were still vacant.

After posting to his Moments, Eun woo refreshed the comments, then stored his phone and turned to Jimin, asking, "Earlier, when you said that you didn't come to watch the show—what did you mean?"
