Transmigrated Into The Book

"Tch! I can't take it anymore!" 

Cheol-min stood up as he slightly kicked the wall in front of him "Manager is taking too long! Is he okay?!" his face frowned "I will sue that moron CEO if anything happens to him inside!" he vented in anger

Min Jun also stood up "Cheol-min, stop that grumpy attitude, I know the manager can handle it! I believe in him" he exclaimed

"Hah?!!" Cheol-min approached Min Jun "I'm being like this because I'm worried about him! You moron!" he vented out grabbing the male's shirt

"If you're worried about him, stop thinking things like he will tremble or become nervous when he meets the CEO, It's bad luck you know?" Min Jun replied

Cheol-min let him go "What the heck are you?! A fortune telling cat?! It's lame!" he went back to his seat

Min Jun twitched his eyebrows "Who are you calling lame? Old grumpy man!" he snorted "You wanna fight?! Huh?"

Cheol-min smirked "You dare called me 'grumpy old man'" he said, cracking his knuckles "Wait till I bet you to pulp" he uttered in annoyance

"Stop that now, you two…" Jiyeon spoke

The two became silent then they all turned their gaze to Taehwun, who was shaking in the corner. 

"Taehwun? What's wrong?" Min Jun moved beside him

Taehwun then gripped Min Jun's shoulder "M-Manager" he uttered "I-Is he o-okay? What if they eat him alive or beat him?" he vented with his scared face

Min Jun paused then he giggled "Taehwun, the CEO is not a monster" he patted the male's back "Stop thinking things like that, he will be fine" he commented 

"It's because he keeps on playing that dumb game on his nintendo! He's becoming a moron, overthinking things! This is not a zombie apocalypse!" Cheol-min snorted out

They've only been in the lobby for an hour, everyone waiting for the male. They wanted to come but as manager, Jin Hyuk told them he could handle it. This is the first time that someone has stood up for them, of all their previous managers, only Jin Hyuk has the courage to fight for them. Even though the male knew about their situation, he didn't hesitate to stay by their side.

"Our manager will never let us fall down" Jiyeon entered their conversation "I trust him, we are all trusting him and he knew that" he added

Min Jun then cheerfully jumped "Yeah!" Closed fist up in the air "I know the manager will never leave us!!" He said

"I will beat anyone to pulp if they lay a hand to the manager!" Cheol-min was fired up once again then he smacked Taehwun's back "Come on moron! Don't sulk like a crybaby!" He exclaimed

Taehwun started to smile "I-I will give him half of my ice cream when he came back!" He uttered

Min Jun heard it and smiled "Taehwun, your ice cream is a different thing" he said

"Then I will give him all of my ice creams in the freezer!" Taehwun said with determined eyes

The three of them paused and then they all looked to Taehwun as they laughed so hard. The atmosphere then lightened up, taking their worries away.

"Are you sure that you're willing to do anything for them?"

Jin Hyuk was stiffened, his tongue curled up inside his mouth. Park Joheun is indeed an intimidating guy. He had these big built and broad shoulders. His hard chest was showing how perfect his body was. Jin Hyuk was like facing a human teddy bear who will devour anyone that will try to get in his way.

He flinched when the man parted away from him. He blushed immediately as he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Park Joheun walked towards the window with his arms in his pocket. "One month" he uttered

"Ehh?!" Jin Hyuk uttered "What? P-Pardon?"

"I will give you one month" Park Joheun's face become serious "There are so many idol bands waiting in the line, and you know that our company can support their leasures and needs anytime they want.." he smirked "But others are too spoiled by what we give so they just take it for granted"

Jin Hyuk gritted his teeth, it must be so hard for the company to shoulder such people. His boys were good and better and yet they were evicted from the sponsorship. 

"Ahn Jin Hyuk?" 

The male flinched when he heard his name. His gaze went straight to Park Joheun "Y-Yes?" He replied

Park Joheun faced the male "What's your reason?" He asked

Jin Hyuk fell to confusion "Reason for what?" He asked as he tilted his head with a big question mark above his head

"What's your reason for staying with them? Do you have any other motives?"

Park Joheun knew some cases like this, standing for their bands just to get a name in the industry. Letting their apprentices feel that they are secured after manipulating them and dragging them down into a scandal.

{I don't know what to answer though}

AUTHOR: Tell him something convincing, from your heart

Jin Hyuk replied "Nothing"

AUTHOR: You really are dumb

{Ehh? But that's the only thing in my heart}

Park Joheun was a pro in this industry so he was still not convinced "Is that so?" He grinned "What if I told you that their band is no longer fresh to people? They already reached their buttom in this industry," he said

Something came up inside Jin Hyuk's mind. He remembered the staff and crews in the Inn when they took some time to relax. The gazes piercing at them when they are taking groceries. 

Park Joheun immediately realized what Jin Hyuk was thinking. He smirked "So, What's your real deal?" He asked

"Hmmm.." Jin Hyuk cupped his own chin using two fingers like he was thinking "I don't really care if no one believes them or no one praise them, I'm here because I trust them and you don't really need people's approval every time to see your worth…so I think…"

"It's because I believe in them!"

Jin Hyuk smiled, the purest and brightest smile Park Joheun had ever seen.
