Transmigrated Into The Book

"Manager!I want to do it!"

All of their gazes turned to Taehwun, it was so sudden of him to decide on his own. Of course, Cheol-min glared at him "Are you out of your mind?!" He snarled as he quickly pulled the male's collar. "What's wrong with you?! We're doing everything by group!" 

Jiyeon tried to separate them as he pulled each other away. "Guys,calm down" he said 

Jin Hyuk couldn't think of a solution and he didn't know where Taehwun's side was coming from. He needed to think immediately because Mr. Cheng was already nagging him for his answer. Taehwun and Cheol-min really got the potential to lure some fans in no time but he didn't want anyone to be left behind. 

"Manager!" He was stunned when he felt something gripping his shoulders, but not so tight. "Manager, please let us be, help me…" Taehwun looked at him. This time, his eyes were different. There was something in his gaze that quickly pricked Jin Hyuk's heart. It was full of sadness and grief "P-Please let us perform" his voice becomes cracked like there was a lump in his throat. 

"T-Taehwun?" Jin Hyuk uttered 

Taehwun leaned closer, there was something welling up beside his pupils "I know you understand me..you were there that day.." he tried to cope and held the tears "M-My s-sister, she needs money.." 

"S-Sister?" Jin Hyuk uttered, he didn't know but his gaze quickly turned to Jiyeon while Jiyeon lowered his head and clenched his fist "C-Could it be?" he was stunned for a second

The system quickly flashed inside Jin Hyuk's mind like he was drowning back to his subconscious, flashing some memories. The day when he accidentally found the crying little girl near the convenience store, crying because she was lost. The way he helped her and bought her ice cream so that she will stop crying. When they stopped by the alley because he received a call until a pungent scent covered his nostrils. But he didn't know that before he totally lost his consciousness to the smell, he pushed the little girl away to let her escape. And in her escape, she was accidentally bumped by a car. 

This time,in so much panic "S-She was your sister?!" Jin Hyuk blurted out before his fingers started trembling down. "T-The little g-girl…"

Jiyeon gritted his teeth, after seeing the emotions crawling in the atmosphere he decided that he needed to stop this. He'll never let them hurt Jin Hyuk or anyone again. 

"Taehwun, tell the manager everything…" Jiyeon said as he picked up the jacket hanging behind the door "I'm going somewhere" he added, exiting the front door.

"How long has she been sleeping?"

Jin Hyuk broke the silence between the beeping machine and the pumping of oxygen. Their eyes both fixated on this frail and weak body laying on the bed, supplying her life with machines. He couldn't believe that the little girl who was smiling and crying at him that night led to a coma. 

"It has been 6 months" Taehwun who was sitting beside the bed, pressing his sister's hand replied. He had this sad expression on his eyes that he couldn't take off. 

The atmosphere once again turned silent like no one from them wanted to talk about what happened. Jin Hyuk remained quiet, watching the little angel's face in front of him.

"I need money, because of her.."

Jin Hyuk could feel it, the longing in Taehwun's eyes. The longing to hug and play with his little sister again. It was like he was reminiscing their happy moments running around,chasing each other. "She was very cute and cheerful," he said again, he slowly lowered his head.

Jin Hyuk didn't want to see that but his eyes were glued straight to Taehwun's hand holding his little sister's hand. There were drops of something coming from his eyes as he curled down his back.

"Taehwun.." His body moved unconsciously towards the male that was already sobbing in despair. Jin Hyuk embraced the male "Taehwun..I-I'm s-sorry.." he mumbled 

Taehwun was a quiet and private guy, all he wants to do was to nagged you about something sweet like ice cream, he was the kind of guy who didn't want socialization and beside Min Jun he had nobody to talk to. He was always choosing to keep silent all the time. Jin Hyuk felt very sorry for not realizing everything about it. He should have known it soon. 

He embraced the sobbing body inside his arms. Taehwun must struggle so much these past months and yet he was always talking only about how to fill up the sponsorship. Somehow he felt a little angry towards himself. He was the manager and yet he had so many flaws.

Tauhwun sniffed "M-Manager, I'm sorry" he said, resisting his shaking voice "I'm sorry if I sound so selfish" he said

Jin Hyuk once again felt a little bit of guilt "No.." he uttered "I should be the one saying that to you" his eyes turned sorrowful "I didn't know that you were going through this alone" he brushed Taehwun's hair trying to comfort him. 

The male didn't answer back so he decided to leave him for a while,giving him time with his little sister.

"Taehwun was very strong.." A familiar voice greeted Jin Hyuk the moment he closed the door. He saw Min Jun standing right next to it, hands on his pocket. "Yow, manager" he made a half smile

Jin Hyuk then leaned beside Min Jun "What are you doing here?" he asked 

Min Jun giggled, but it was different this time "I wanted to visit her, Aeri.." he replied, referring to Taehwun's little sister's name. "We used to play all the time, that kid got a lot more energy than me" he chuckled "Taehwun loves her so much, he will do anything for her.."

Jin Hyuk couldn't talk that time, he was like hearing something that's shattering his heart. "I-I w-was too weak.." he uttered 

Min Jun glanced at him "Everybody claims to be weak when they wanted to save someone they couldn't…" he said "But manager, You are strong...You save her that day.." he moved closer to Jin Hyuk, lifting his hand towards the male's head "And I know that Taehwun was grateful for that, right manager?!" he said with a smile, giving him headpats 

Jin Hyuk was always the one cheering them up but there was something in Min Jun's headpats that made him weak leading his chest to tremble.. And before he could notice, he was already crying with the tears flowing together with his sadness.
