"so that was the inspiration for the song?" a man asked.

"basically yes," hongjoong replied with a warm voice.

"how long have you been working on it?" a woman asked.

"i started to work on it around a year ago? but the modifications were done this year," hongjoong answered lightly.

"and how about the man you were talking about? are you two still together?" another woman asked.

hongjoong stay silent.

a year had passed.

hongjoong was back on track, he went to work, and produce more songs.

the media at first focused on hongjoong. his job, his activity, his past, basically digging informations about hongjoong.

they started to talk about hongjoong's songs, the tracks he had produced.

for a solo artist, for a girlgroup, turned into two boygroups, and eventually, everything was going so well.

his songs got recognized and so did his skills. 

people started to ask him to debut, he got fans all over the internet, and he gained followers–

he hesitated at first, knowing how restricted his life was going to be with people and media all over him.

but he had to overcome that fear, so he faced them, and keep on walking on his road.

and when maddox offered him to debut, he didn't say no.

it was a success.

next, he found out that baro from the hotel was the one who leaked out the information to the media.

when yeosang explained everything to hongjoong and san and also wooyoung, everyone was shocked.

san basically wanted hongjoong to sue baro.

wooyoung wanted hongjoong to spill the tea to the online people.

but what intrigued hongjoong the most weren't any of that.

how could yeosang know? 

"oh, me? i thought y'all know i went to daegu," yeosang answered calmly.

"yeah, you said you want to meet your boyfriend," san spat back, being impatient.

"yeah," yeosang answered shortly.

"who is this boyfriend? a detective or some shit?" wooyoung too, got impatient.

"no, he was working at that hotel," yeosang answered as he gulped the cola.

"jongho?" hongjoong guessed.

"how could you know?" yeosang spat quickly, flustered.

hongjoong shrugged proudly, making yeosang flushed in pink.

"well, he said he saw his co-worker was getting money from someone who was wearing a news media jacket. he knew something fishy was happening," yeosang explained.
