Transmigrated Into The Book

The next morning, Jin Hyuk found himself lying in bed inside his room.

"Ehhh?!" he sprang up from astonishment "Why am I here?" he asked himself

He went downstairs and saw the three boys in the kitchen, he then peeked quietly but Min Jun's sense was so sharp that he noticed the male.

"Oh! Manager! Good morning!" Min Jun pulled him towards the kitchen then he let the male sit in front of the kitchen counter. Jin Hyuk then couldn't stop himself from drooling when he saw the delicious food enchanting his taste buds.

"W-Who cooked this?" he uttered

Cheol-min cleared his throat. "I'm the one who cooked it!" he proclaimed proudly 

Jin Hyuk looked at him "You cooked this all?" he asked, with beaming eyes

"No, just the omelette" he said

Jin Hyuk shrugged his shoulders in dismay, "I knew it" he whispered

Min Jun sprang in front of the table "Manager! We cooked them all for you!" he said cheerfully "Please enjoy yourself!" he added.

"Let's eat together then"

All of them picked up their own plates and served themselves, it was like they're having a party in the early morning. After taking the breakfast, Jin Hyuk was a little bit shocked when he returned inside his room. All of his things were neatly arranged. Taehwun cleaned it.

Then after taking a bath, Min Jun handed him the towel and prepared his clothes. Until they reached the studio he was still in shock. He was like a Prince with servants today.

After the rehearsals, they all went to the park again to play basketball. As usual, Jin Hyuk was just waiting for them on the bench. Watching the boys playing with their smile on their faces.

He was stunned when Jiyeon tapped his cheeks with a cold can of soda "Eeekk!!" he jolted in surprise

Jiyeon slightly smiled before taking the seat beside him. "Are you okay, manager?" he asked

Jin Hyuk looked at him "Uhh...y-yeah, Why?" he asked with a little bit of wonder

The male looked at him, squeezed his cheeks and leaned closer to check his eyes. "You're not getting enough rest this past few days?" he said with a face of worriedness 

Jin Hyuk then glanced at him the moment their faces separated "Ehh?" he flinched "How did you know?" he asked

Jiyeon took a sip from his soda then he looked up "I saw you working late last night" he replied

Jin Hyuk became silent when he remembered the article he was reading last night, his heart then became anxious. Did Jiyeon see and read it? What if they are mistaking his intention in reading it? He didn't really want to look at it but at least he didn't want to be left behind when it comes to their flaws. 

"Are you worried about us?" 

Jiyeon's words struck him completely, like there was something hidden in it. "Y-Yeah!" he mumbled unconsciously.

Silence crawled between them, making the atmosphere tight and uncomfortable. The leaves from the shady tree above the bench slightly shake when the afternoon chilly wind passes through it. The sun was already in the middle of the sky, nearly touching the horizon. 

"Manager, I have a request"

Jin Hyuk quickly looked at the male beside him who was waiting for him to answer "Yes, what is it?" he asked

Jiyeon cleared his throat then he lowered his head "We are not a perfect band" he stated "But as idols, we couldn't protect our names all the time" he clenched his fist "Sometimes we just wanted to do what is right and what our selves wanted" his voice became shaky "Please don't leave us behind this time"

Jin Hyuk panicked a little. Jiyeon never mentioned anything about himself. He was always that flirtatious and clingy type. Sometimes he was serious and sometimes he was a kid. He didn't know how he takes things or thinks towards things around him, but Jin Hyuk can see that Jiyeon is a good kid.

"J-Jiyeon?" he uttered

Jiyeon chuckled then he lifted up his head "What am I even saying?" he asked himself. Then he looked at Jin Hyuk, who was in confusion. 

Jin Hyuk saw something in Jiyeon's eyes. He stood up and stretched a little "The sun is already down" he said "Jiyeon, I don't know what you're trying to say but..." he lifted his hand "You've already done so many things for your band" Jin Hyuk gave the male a pat on the head then he slightly brushed his hair

"Thank you, Jiyeon!" he spoke

"I'm sleepy!" Taehwun yawned the moment they reached the door. 

Everybody went home safe and sound. They all went up to their rooms to take a night shower while Jin Hyuk was left in the living room. He was still deciding the visual art for their new posters; he needed to wake up early tomorrow too to distribute it to public places. 

Park Joheun gave him one month. YTA Entertainment will sponsor them in one month in exchange for their fame. He will receive all the budget he needs, for ads, posters, recordings, rehearsals and in exchange, he needs to have ten thousand people in the big stadium Park Joheun reserved at the end of the month.

It was their free live concert, and they needed to fill the seats. One month is enough for them to practice and to let themselves known. If they fail, the sponsorship will be cut forever. 

Jin Hyuk, who was facing the laptop, blinked a few times. His eyes suddenly became hot, like there was something heavy inside him. It was a cold night, but he was sweating hard. 

"Manager?" 

Taehwun went down for a bit to get some ice cream in the fridge when he noticed that Jin Hyuk was still in the living room. He became worried after seeing the male wobbling in front of his laptop. "Manager? Are you okay?" he asked again, leaning close.

Jin Hyuk looked at him with a red face "I-I'm fine, d-don't w-worry about m-m---" and before he could finish his words, he lost consciousness.

Taehwun caught him just in time, his eyes widened when he felt how hot Jin Hyuk was "Manager! You have a fever!" he exclaimed
