Regardless of how expensive the dishes were, it seemed he was determined not to let Eun-seo touch them. After finishing the dishes herself, he took off the apron and said,
“Rest a bit more at home and go to work slowly. Today, Secretary Choi will come to pick me up again.”
“I took a half-day off this morning.”
As if asking why, he looked at Eun-seo with a glimpse.
“Sun-ah went to the hospital this morning and will go to work in the afternoon.”
“Why does she visit the hospital early in the morning?”
“Do you remember Chris? He’s a participant in Idol Project 10.”
He nodded.
“Right now, Sun-ah is in the same hospital as Chris! When the roof collapsed, Sun-ah happened to be in the kitchen with Chris….”
Perhaps infected by Sun-ah’s excitement, Eun-seo was unknowingly adding her own explanations to the story she heard from Sun-ah.
“He said he would come to say goodbye to Sun-ah in her hospital room before being discharged this morning, so I’m going early to see him. Apparently, he’s really handsome in person.”
The man who listened to everything seemed to have an uncomfortable expression.
“Isn’t it a bit much to be enthusiastic about celebrities at that age?”
Suddenly receiving such an immature treatment from a woman made the mood quite unpleasant. Turning away, Eun-seo mumbled as if inviting him to listen, looking at Kwon Seung-joo’s back.
“After praying together on our knees, begging for approval.”
The broad back seemed to tremble, and an excuse-like statement flowed out.
“…I wasn’t myself back then.”
Although she was aware of it, hearing it directly from the person involved made it bitter.
Yes, the current representative is a different person from back then. You don’t need to say it; I know it well.
“Anyway, around the end of the mourning period, call Secretary Choi and tell her to come pick you up from there.”
Why does this person beg as if all public transportation in the world has disappeared? Complaining, Eun-seo sighed.
“It’s really uncomfortable for me. I’m not some rich lady, why do I have to do this?”
“Get used to it from now on.”
“What?”
However, Kwon Seung-joo didn’t offer any further explanation. After going into his room for a while, he came out with not a single hair out of place.
He was a man who could drag people into the store just by putting on a ready-made suit from the outlet. Now, wearing proper clothes and a coat on top, he was truly dazzling.
Waiting at the entrance to greet the landlord as she thought it would be appropriate when he goes to work, Eun-seo, without realizing it, found herself captivated by his perfect appearance and quickly averted her eyes.
This makes it seem like we’ve gone back to the time when I used to look at him from a distance.
“Have a good day.”
He awkwardly replied for some reason.
“…Then, see you in the evening.”
“Chris, wake up! We need to leave quickly!”
A little past 8 in the morning. The youngest writer rushed into the ward, shouting.
“The loser’s resurrection match has been decided!”
“Really?”
He woke up instantly. Chris got up in his patient gown.
“It will be officially announced on this week’s broadcast, and we’ll record it right away, reveal it on the website next week, and take votes.”
Stuffing Chris’s belongings into the bag, the writer said,
“All the participants in the loser’s resurrection match are gathered now, waiting for you. Since we’ve completed the discharge procedure, all you have to do is go out.”
His heart pounded. The opportunity had truly come again!
Originally, Chris had this attitude toward participating in the program. It would be nice to debut, but if not, there’s nothing he can do about it.
However, since last night after meeting Sun-ah, his mindset had completely changed.
“Work hard and please debut. That’s all I wish for.”
Through Sun-ah, Chris learned what love from fans meant. Not even his parents or relatives, how could he be unconditionally devoted like that?
To repay that love even a little, all he could do was to put in effort.
Definitely, absolutely, he will debut no matter what.
“I’ve got everything. Hurry, change your clothes and come out, got it?”
While saying that, Chris urgently grabbed the writer who was leaving.
“Noona, please give me just ten minutes. I’ll go to another ward to say hello and come back.”
“Well, we don’t have that kind of time. Who is it?”
“The person who saved me when the roof collapsed. I want to go and greet them.”
However, the writer spoke more firmly.
“That person is a fan. Don’t you know you shouldn’t get involved with fans?”
In the end, Chris couldn’t even say a final goodbye to Sun-ah. Instead, he explained the situation to the nurse and asked her to convey his message, then hastily left the ward.
“I’m waiting in the car. Hurry!”
Chris, who was leaving the ward with the youngest writer, suddenly stopped walking. It was because a woman getting off the hospital shuttle bus caught his eye.
The bag slipped from Chris’s hand.
“Noona…?”
Our poor sister who became a star at the age of twelve.
The face of our sister, whom we have never forgotten for a moment, was right in front of us.

He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
