TW: BULLYING & HARSH LANGUAGE


It wasn't that you had to talk to me right now.

If you wanted to not interact with me, you just didn't have too.


Seo Ian looked up at Kang Jihyuk standing in front of him and thought about it.

That horrible face was grinning right before my eyes.


"Hey, Ian. Long time no see."


Shouldn't you have matured a bit after all this time?


Ian swallowed those words and bit his lower lip.


Even after three years, I still find myself cowering in front of that guy.


'There's no need to be discouraged.'


Now that we've debuted on equal footing, what's the point of all that?

Ian smiled faintly, calming himself down.


"Yes, hyung. It's been a while."

"What a coincidence we get to reunite on Weekly Idol."


Kang Jihyuk shrugged his shoulders and added.


"Oh, I watched your survival show"

"Ah, is that so?"

"I didn't think you would debut."


Ah.


Kang Jihyuk's cold words had a kick in them.

The type of tone that blatantly states I don't know how someone like you even debuted.

In the past, I would have been hurt by each and every word, letting him live rent-free in my head, but now...


It wasn't as big of a blow as I thought.


So what do you want me to do about it?

I debuted.

Who cares whether you thought I'd debut or not?


'The fans are the ones who chose me.'


What Seo Ian gained from his time as a Stardust member was self-esteem.


I realized that so many people support me.


One person's dirty words don't matter anymore.


Regardless of the fact that Kang Jihyuk is scary, there is no need to be hurt by such ridiculous accusations.


Seo Ian smiled and accepted Kang Jihyuk's words.


"I agree. I didn't know I would debut either."

"..."

"But I debuted, thankfully."


A look of bewilderment was evident in Kang Jihyuk's eyes.


It was obvious this wasn't the reaction he expected.

His distorted expression was quite pleasing to look at.


"I'm so happy that I debuted. I'm even on the same show as my hyung."

"Ha."


Kang Jihyuk swallowed back a laugh.


"Are you mocking me right now?"

"I don't think so."

"You've grown so much, Seo Ian. Remember what happened the last time you acted out?"
