Rockstar Again - Chapter 156



Only Noblemtl

Episode 156. Shadow Thief (3)

Today, I fanned the flames of creativity again.

To be exact, the fountain of creativity is overflowing even without me having to light the spark.

It’s been three hours since the drinking party started… … .

“I’ll sing a song, senior!”

“Drink comfortably, honey. Why are you being so uncomfortable?”

“no!”

Then, all of a sudden, he touches the table and flies away, looks at the East Sea, and bows again.

“Please be nice to me too, senior!”

“… … Yeah. What… … did I do?”

“The person who originally hit can sleep soundly, but the person who was hit has to live on in pain!”

Even though he’s really drunk, he’s still a pro, and his diction is accurate.

Diction is just as important for singers as it is for actors.

Anyway, he started to dance and sing after skillfully pressing a few numbers while staggering his body.

It’s either unfortunate or fortunate for Nuclear Woojae.

There is a karaoke machine inside the room of this closed bar.

At first, he started drinking alcohol without saying much and was very nervous, and he stayed like that for over 30 minutes.

Extreme high tension.

“Smash! Smash! Splash Smash!”

While Woojae was jumping around and singing and dancing, I whispered softly to Donghae.

“He’s cute.”

“That’s right. The injection is a bit harsh, but it’s not something I can’t tolerate.”

I was staring at Donghae who answered like that… … Donghae sensed my gaze and took a sip of his drink before speaking to me with clear eyes.

“What’s on my face, bro?”

“What do you usually do to kids to get that little punk in that state?”

As I spoke, our gazes simultaneously turned straight ahead.

Woojae suddenly put his feet on the table and jumped up in an instant, spinning around.

“Smash! Smash into your soul!”

It was the subtitle song for Nuclear’s first album, but it’s the only song that failed.

The lyrics are wrong.

Still, it seems like he likes the song, and he looks very happy.

I rested my chin on the table and watched the passionate performance.

“Isn’t that kid sober?”

“No, he must be really drunk. He drank all the alcohol in here by himself.”

“He may seem drunk… … but he also doesn’t seem drunk, judging from the way he dances and sings… … Anyway, he’s a fun guy.”

While we were talking, Woojae returned to the table with a refreshed face after finishing his passionate performance.

“Senior, why are you being so nice to this rascal? Huh?”

After saying that, he sat down unsteadily.

At that moment, Donghae’s face hardened, so I quickly pinched his leg under the table.

“… … !”

When he looked at me with eyes asking why, I shook my head slightly.

to be honest.

At first, I wondered how it would turn out.

Since Donghae has become an adult in the current music industry, it is true that he was called to play the role of a strong umbrella.

It’s true that I have negative feelings towards TH Entertainment.

Nuclear disaster?

This guy is even worse. How can I look at him favorably when he’s the one who tried to steal my seat with his cheapskate skills?

Anyway, it was like that, but I can see that the child is really, really scared of the East Sea… … I feel like I want to treat him better… … .

So I opened my mouth.

“Hey, you punk.”

“… … What the hell are you? You don’t have a fighting spirit… … . Where does your senior, who is as good as the sky, have a habit of talking like that… … . You, if it weren’t for senior Choi Dong-hae, I would have killed you… … Do you understand?”

“… … Strictly speaking, if we look at seniority, I’m your senior.”

“crazy…….”

Sitting and looking at each other, I can clearly tell that he’s drunk.

Your eyes are opened, kid.

I don’t know if it tastes good at all.

I started to show off my mobile skills and how I operate.

“I originally lived in the US for a long time. There is no hierarchy. Have you ever seen honorifics in the US? No, you haven’t.”

“… …America? Don’t you use honorifics in America?”

“Of course. In America, a ten year age gap is just friends. You know that, right?”

Woojae listens to my words and thinks for a while.

It seems like he’s sleeping.

Anyway, what I mean by running it the way I want is this.

The criteria are a bit flexible.

When judging age, consider year of birth.

When comparing seniors and juniors, we sometimes compare based on the time before the time slip.

In times like now when we can’t utilize those things, Beomseok puts forward the history of his son, Lee Dongha.

Living in America, I don’t know Korean etiquette, things like that.

Original Korean: The only time I’ve been abroad is a few days ago, but who cares?

Anyway, you guys are looking at me as a twenty-one year old man, right?

So I act like that too.

“This… … X-slutty little shit… … .”

“You’re not the one who’s being cheap. How many times do I have to tell you? I was just talking. You’re the one who barged in without making a reservation. Right?”

“… … This kid, he lived in America, but he speaks really well.”

Open pupils.

A flushed face.

His pronunciation is accurate, but his speech is strangely drawn out.

I felt an unknown premonition and pressed the record button on my phone.

Hey, this.

I think I’m going to make a mistake today.

That’s how alcohol is.

But instead of making a mistake, he suddenly starts throwing a tantrum.

“You too… … do it.”

“sing?”

“Yeah, Imma. You’re a singer too, sing. Huh? Sing, sing! Sing, sing!”

“What if I sing?”

When I asked that question again, Woojae, who had been sulking, grabbed my weight again and glared at me.

“Don’t just do it. If you do it well… … If you do it really well! I’ll eat your friend. American style.”

“You don’t have to eat friends. I don’t plan on being friends with children.”

I went out to the middle, listening to the drunken sounds.

Yeah, whatever.

Singing isn’t that difficult.

Since you showed off your talents first, why wouldn’t you sing a song for me?

After flipping through the karaoke booklet a few times, I picked a song.

“……older brother.”

As the prelude begins, the eyes of the East Sea fill with emotion.

Woojae, who couldn’t hear Donghae’s voice while focusing on me, is glaring at me.

Holding onto the opened eyes with determination.

This is a song from our Donghae’s 4th album, which is just an old Donggu in my eyes, even though he is a charismatic and beast in the music industry.

I like this.

* * *

“what’s this?”

Ko Kyung-jae’s eyes widened rapidly in shock.

“Is this Dong-ha’s voice?”

Joo Hyo-eun’s pursuit proves that it was not an illusion of the high economy.

It was for the purpose of reporting, but it is not recognized as security until the moment of reporting.

Therefore, the expenses spent in this room-style tavern are entirely Go Kyung-eok’s own expenses.

So what… … I just ordered a fruit snack and the cheapest drink.

Opening the door from time to time and looking into the room that Lee Dong-ha entered.

Moving in.

Soon after, Choi Dong-hae arrives.

After giving the waiter 50,000 won, I confirmed that Nuclear Woojae was waiting inside.

So honestly.

I thought something big was going to happen.

Because I knew that the beauty salon incident wasn’t a case of trying to promote friendship through friendship.

Just looking at the faces.

The members in the room aren’t ordinary characters, right?

It is a well-known fact to all reporters that the celebrity disease of Nuclear Woojae has reached the ends of the heavens.

Choi Dong-hae is a man full of rock spirit.

A new rugby player who is recognized as a better player than Choi Dong-hae and Woo Jae.

Celebrity disease.

A real man.

Rugby ball.

The previous fight.

And alcohol.

It’s harder to believe that this combination won’t cause an accident.

But the incident that occurred here was not an accident, but a crazy amount of energy and a killer vocal.

“Let’s go out and see.”

“yes.”

Go Kyung-je holds the camera with the recording button pressed and goes out into the hallway with Joo Hyo-eun.

“… … .”

“Is there a fire? Everyone is out… …?”

“There was an accident.”

It’s clear that it’s a closed bar.

People are coming out of the hallway and focusing on the room at the far end.

It seems like this level of soundproofing isn’t enough to stop me.

Lee Dong-ha’s voice echoes throughout the tavern.

After the song ends.

People who came to their senses whispered and went back to their rooms.

One scene was captured thanks to the persistence of Ko Kyung-je, who still had the camera waiting through the crack in the door.

“This kid has a really bad drinking habit.”

“I said I’ll carry you… … .”

“Okay. You came to see me. I have to take care of it.”

Choi Dong-hae and Lee Dong-ha are very close and talk comfortably to each other.

Even the nuclear weapon that is being carried on the back of such a moving vehicle.

‘It’s not the kind of incident I wanted… … but it’s enough to be newsworthy.’

As Ko Kyung-je thought so, Joo Hyo-eun’s voice was heard faintly behind him.

“Are we… good together? Really?”

“……I know.”

* * *

Nuclear Woojae got up from his seat, feeling as if his head was going to burst in pain.

“Ugh… … Head… … Water… … .”

Even if you say that, no one will bring you water.

I’ve been living alone for a long time.

It must have been so.

My manager, Hyuk-soo, brings me some water.

I wondered why Manager Hyung was here, but rather than asking questions, I wanted to quench my thirst first.

It was only after Woojae emptied an entire bottle of water that he finally asked a question.

“Why are you here?”

“Ah. You were a total mess yesterday… … . I brought you home, but I was worried that you might get in trouble while you were sleeping… … so I just stayed with you.”

“What? Me?”

“Oh. You’re totally screwed.”

I don’t know.

My head is pounding and I’m trying hard to remember what happened yesterday.

‘Ah… … Choi Dong-hae… … !’

After Choi Dong-hae came in, I remembered how nervous I was when I thought about the old days.

Was it to relieve tension? Or was it because he didn’t like the position?

All I remember is that I drank alcohol faster than usual.

The film was completely blown away.

So, I started to piece together my broken memories little by little.

“Did you bring me here from inside, hyung?”

“no.”

“then?”

“That… … Lee Dong-ha and Choi Dong-hae brought you out? To be exact, Lee Dong-ha carried you.”

“Huh? That kid me? Why?”

Instead of answering Woojae’s words, Hyuksu simply laughs brightly.

“Why are you laughing?”

“Hehehe… … Just… … .”

Hyuk-soo has no clue.

It’s good that you don’t act like a boss like your former manager, but you’re too harsh.

Woojae stretched and looked out the window.

Judging by the bright sun, you must have slept for a long time.

As I habitually fumbled around the bed to find my phone, Hyuk-soo smiled again and handed me his phone.

“I charged it. You can’t live without your phone.”

“Hey, what are you talking about again? If someone heard me, they’d think I’m addicted to my phone.”

Even though you said that.

Still, I think I did well.

I quickly accepted it and checked my phone… … .

“What is this…? Why am I getting so many DMs and Stargram notifications?”

Although it is frustrating, the only person who can resolve my doubts is my manager, Hyuk-soo.

Hyuk-soo’s voice echoed throughout the room.

“You uploaded it yesterday.”

“I?”

“Oh. There was an article about it… … It looks like there was a reporter at that bar yesterday. A reporter from Hidden Magazine at that.”

Without any understanding of the situation.

Let’s quickly turn on Stargram and check.

[#Scary but kind Donghae hyung today #American style my friend Dongha #Good meeting #… … .]

There is a selfie with all sorts of tags attached to it, and three men are smiling side by side… …

“My… … friend? This scoundrel and I are… … friends?”

“Yeah. I guess you ate with your friend yesterday.”

When I opened my eyes wide and looked at Hyuk-soo, he quickly averted his eyes.

I turned my eyes back to my phone and opened the Internet. Since it said there was an article posted, I went to the portal site.

“?”

[Choi Dong-hae, Lee Dong-ha, Kim Woo-jae. An intimate look at a drinking party filled with the friendship of one master and two geniuses.]

I’m scrolling down quickly… … .

This article is in the format of a reconstruction of an incident unique to Hidden Magazine.

The photos are listed in chronological order.

In the meantime, yesterday’s drinking party was reconstructed in the form of a conversation.

[Photo (Lee Dong-ha carrying Woo-jae)]

[Woojae: Are you guys friends? Really?]

[Photo (Lee Dong-ha is making an impression.)]

[Dong-ha: Ah… … Here we go again. I told you to drink less… … ]

[Woojae: You! I recognize you as my friend! You sing well, I’m jealous.]

[Dong-ha: That’s because I said I don’t want to be friends.]

[Woojae: No! Let’s be friends! In America, you’re just friends for 10 years, up and down!]

[… … According to our investigation, Woojae has never lived in the United States, but considering his musical taste, it is understood that he first invited Lee Dongha to meet his friend because he liked his music. Lee Dongha strongly declined, but… … ]

If you just read the article, it seems like he keeps asking her to be his friend.

A moving specification.

There, the fact that he was carried on his back while moving was clearly shown, so this is a situation where nothing can be done about it.

The only person who still needs to be confirmed is Hyuk-soo.

Woojae looked at Hyuksu.

“Is this real?”

“huh.”

“Really… Really? I decided to be friends with him?”

“huh.”

Woojae dropped his phone with a look of despair.

“What the f*ck… …! I got scammed again.”

It dries.

I wonder if there is such a thing as compatibility.

If I keep getting involved with that kid, I’ll keep getting involved with him.
