The members were screaming with trembling voices. Something was happening on the other end of the line.
"You know it won't work, hyung, so please don't do this."
"Hyung Seungwoo!!! Hyung, you're the leader. If you're like this, what are we supposed to do!!!"
"Brother!!!! Please come to your senses. Can't you just accept reality??"
"I know it's painful and hard, but if you keep doing that, what are the fans supposed to do?"
I don't know if it was a mistake, but the fight continued. As I was quietly listening, the situation escalated. Seungwoo Han was trying to leave the dorm, and the members were fighting to stop him. They were clearly on good terms, but it's all my fault. At that moment, Seungwoo oppa cried and said.
"I never accepted that kind of kid as my little brother!!!! Someone so rude and disrespectful is not my little brother! My little brother is Yeoju Hana!!!! The one I like is Yeoju Hana!!!"
match.
I heard a slap on the other end of the line, and then silence fell. I don't know what happened in between, but it was terrifying. I was listening through the other end, but I could sense the atmosphere had become tense. Someone spoke in a low, whispering voice.
"If you're going to do that, then stop. I thought it was okay to do that after seeing you struggle every day. But look at your condition, hyung. We ran hard until our debut and now we're succeeding. Please don't do that."
It was so tense. I was swept up in the heavy atmosphere and became quiet.
"Huh? Who are you talking to, hyung..?"
"Huh? I'm not on the phone... uh... oh my"
"Who is it?"
"My lady... My lady..."
Everyone felt embarrassed. Seungwoo's voice was heard as he snatched Dongpyo's phone away.
"Hey..hey heroine? Hey heroine?? Really hey heroine?? I missed you..really..I don't think I can let you go, don't go.."
I thought it wouldn't end if I didn't cool down here.
"Please let me go. Now you are the younger brother of celebrities Han Seung-woo and Han Sun-hwa. Oh, in the middle of summer, you are my older brother. The memories I had with you were so happy and good, but we can't be together anymore. Please... Forget about someone like me and live. I beg you."
I said something I didn't mean.
I thought you would leave me if I got hurt.
No, I didn't want you to leave...
I thought this was the path to happiness.
"I'm...sorry...if that's the case for the female protagonist, I'll try my best."
"Thank you.. I hope you are happier than when you knew me."
And so our brief conversation ended. Seungwoo retreated to his room, and the phone returned to its original owner, Dongpyo. Perhaps because of what I'd just heard, I spoke with a sense of foreboding.
"Tell me what happened after she entered Han Seung-woo's house."
"Uh... that... I told you not to say anything..."
"Give me your phone, Yeoju. Can you hear me? It's Kang Minhee."
"Yes, I can hear you. Please speak."
"One summer, he went to Seungwoo's house, but he came by out of the blue and took pictures with the members. He told me not to, but he did and brought his friends over to play.
Of course he asked for concert tickets and asked to be sent to fan meetings, and the public cafe manager said he would do it himself but Seungwoo told him not to and that it was crossing the line, but he was just following others and taking money from girls and living off of them, so what's the big deal? It seems like he's become close with a sasaeng recently."
I wanted to kill her. I wanted to kill that bitch right now, the one who ruined my brothers who were laughing so happily together.
"And.. I guess Seungwoo-hyung is holding you back from meeting him or going near him, so if Seungwoo-hyung wants to see you, he should go, but he can't go and suffers alone. Because of that, Seungwoo-hyung's mother and father don't like it very much.."
"Thanks for letting me know. I have something to do."
"Huh..? Yeah"
I thought I'd endured enough. I couldn't take it anymore. In the end, I broke my promise to never set foot in it again.
