Chapter 79 – It Wasn’t Normal
An autograph session in the event zone of a large bookstore.
Shin So-ye, Lim Ha-eun, and Park Min-ji looked around and admired them.
“I’ve never seen so many people come to our autograph event.”
“Didn’t I say 100 people lined up? This is already…”
“They must be people watching. Even if they can’t get an autograph, there will be fans who want to listen to the Q&A session.”
“Wow, waiting for that from now on… The title song of the 2nd album appeared properly.”
“More than that… Freya… Acting really…”
“Ehehe, it was just seasoning. That’s not why so many people came.”
“Number of likes… There were so many…”
“Boy, I don’t want to be stuck with that image.”
Im Ha-eun shook her head with a disgusted look on her face.
“Ha Eun-ah, manage your expression. Look at people.”
Seeing that, Shin So-ye immediately said a word.
Hearing that, Lim Ha-eun turned her gaze to the fans lined up outside, and the fans who met her eyes waved and reacted.
“Wow~ sister~!”
“Freya! Freya!”
“Cold wave! Cold wave!”
“Haeun-ah, look!”
The corners of Lim Ha-eun’s mouth and the tips of her eyebrows were twisted and twisted as she smiled tremblingly.
“I can’t count how many eyes I see right now, so be careful.”
“I’m sorry…”
Are you a fan of those?
Aren’t they here to tease me?
This and that question came to mind, but Im Ha-eun was also a professional, so she swallowed them all and slowly waved her hand around him.
On the outside, it seemed like they were just smiling kindly, and countless fans in line talked while imagining this and that.
“Wow, looking at it in real life, it’s boring.”
“The music video wasn’t CGI, was it real? Wow…”
“It’s really grand.”
“All three… Uh… Uh uh.
“Wow, did you just make eye contact with me? Crazy! Did you see it? Waving.”
“Hey you asshole.”
“Whoa, whoa…”
“Don’t hold your breath, madman. He’s like a fucking pervert.”
“But… How can Ha-eun not get excited…”
“Hey there, Mr. Police.”
Fans who grow up with various expectations and become noisy.
The excitement and excitement of seeing the girls showing off their sexy charms and the anticipation of being able to share a word or two heated the air around them.
In that atmosphere, people passing by stop with curiosity about what is going on, and it becomes even more noisy.
Woong woong woong…
However, in the atmosphere and crowds that heated up like an amusement park waiting line, only one person was rejecting this heat with all his might.
‘Dog bitches.’
With his menacing eyes shining under a tightly pressed hat, Kim Soo-hyeok glared at The Queens.
‘Fuck me, what’s wrong with ruining my life? Are they trying to do well?’
He spat all sorts of curses in his heart, and when someone ran past, he hurriedly pulled his hat over his eyes.
When he saw that the person passing by was Lee Se-jin, a fire flared up in his heart.
‘Ha, that bastard… You took my place right after I left. What do you think I’m good at? On the subject of nothing.’
The image of Lee Se-jin going between The Queens and talking to the kids.
At that, the three women smiled and nodded, and some fans who saw it muttered.
“Wow, is that the manager?”
“Shh,,,, Bull,,,, really,,, I envy you,,,, I too,,, Shibull,,, I can do well.”
“Oh crazy, don’t talk like fucking bullshit.”
“It’s dirty.”
The manager only gave work orders and left in a hurry, but the fans couldn’t help but envy the brief moment of contact.
Many people glared at him for a while, and among them, Kim Soo-hyeok had eyes that would kill him at any moment.
‘Fuck it! It should have been me between them! I raised them all, but they don’t know grace…!’
But those girls who didn’t even smile at me, they have that look on their faces?
Kim Soo-hyeok, who was warming up to Lee Se-jin, took a deep breath.
‘…No, Sejin Lee is not important right now. The most important thing is separate.’
It’s obvious that this bastard is living his life doing slavery to the kids anyway.
I don’t want to see a coward who is making a fortune by taking my place, but he won’t be able to stay there for long because he’ll be an incompetent bastard anyway.
‘Rather…’
Kim Soo-hyeok turned his gaze back to The Queens.
Then he glared at Shin So-ye with eyes that would bite him at any moment.
‘That twin! How dare you do that bitch…!’
Now, the target he wants revenge on is Shin So-ye.
That bastard who kicked me out of the company and made me unable to set foot in the entertainment industry again.
‘A bitch with nothing but breasts kicks out my favor, and even drives me into the gutter!?’
I don’t know what he did, but after four years of threats and leaving the company, he has not been able to set foot in the same industry.
Everywhere I go, I get cut at the line of my resume, and the contacts I have built up so far are not contacted…
All of that must have been done by four years, since it’s like a bitch!
‘If you ruin someone else’s life, you should ruin your life too, right?’
Swish.
Kim Soo-hyuk waited for the autograph session to take place, tying the knife in his pocket again.
***
As we finished all the preparations and started the autograph session, I looked at each and every face of the standing fans.
‘I keep feeling strangely anxious.’
It’s not a private fan signing event, it’s an open fan signing event, and it’s an event for those who buy albums on site.
Thanks to the commercial video and the music video, the water is coming in, so it’s a method I chose to use that power to further raise awareness…
Events like this are perfect for incidents to happen, so I’m worried.
‘I did everything I could, but…’
There are not enough security guards, and plastic screens have been installed… Is there anything more that can be done?
First of all, I stand right next to the table and watch everyone who comes in, and then…
“…Jinah.”
“…”
“Sejin-ah.”
“Uh, uh, why?”
Before I knew it, Soye was calling me.
“Why are you so nervous? Like a first-timer?”
“Huh? Me?”
“Yeah. His expression is completely frozen.”
At that, I wiped my face with the palm of my hand.
“Ah, sorry. I’m worried about my sister…”
“Don’t be too nervous. What’s wrong?”
“In case you don’t know. It’s best to be as careful as possible. Take a closer look…”
“It will be fine.”
As if to soothe me, Soye smiled slightly.
“No big deal. So don’t be too nervous.”
“Still…”
“All of our kids are doing well. Don’t worry too much. I’m trying to get nervous too.”
“Uh, uh…”
“Manager, it’s time.”
A staff member came up to me and whispered.
Everything she says, she won’t be a big deal.
If you’re too nervous about one of these things, it’s rather a loss.
As Soye said, our children will do well.
‘It’s not the first time I’m doing this, so why am I like this?’
What did you eat wrong
I’m just very anxious today.
“Sister, open it.”
Soye nodded and picked up the microphone in front of her eyes.
Correspondingly, Haeun and Minji also picked up the microphone.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you who came to The Queens’ fan signing event today! Shin So-ye, the leader of The Queens,”
“Im Ha-eun”
“Eh, lastly, it’s Park Min-ji…!”
Fans responded with applause to their greetings.
“We plan to say hello during the signing event, and have time to answer questions after the event is over.”
“I have prepared a lot of reverse tributes for you guys, so please watch until the end!”
“Uh, that’s, that, well, please take care of me…”
The three members uttered well-rehearsed announcements, and when that was over, the fans in the front started to come forward.
It was a smooth and peaceful sight to greet them and sign autographs.
‘Yeah, it won’t be a big deal.’
I read myself like that and continued to watch it.
“Manager, the manager asked me to come to the parking lot over there for a while.”
After watching for a while, another staff member came and whispered to me.
“Tell me you’ll be leaving later.”
“There he… The road manager has to come right away because of a car problem… It seemed like a pretty big deal. Call me by saying your manager’s name.”
“Eww… Okay, let’s go.”
I had no choice but to leave with the staff.
I should have parked without any problems, but I wonder what the hell is the reason for calling someone to the parking lot all of a sudden.
I’ll have to ask for a loader soon…
‘Wait a minute.’
You said my name to the road manager?
Anyone who would call me Lord…
I suddenly felt a strong sensation and looked behind me.
In the distance, I saw a man wearing a hat approaching in front of Shin So-ye.
That gait and physique were somehow familiar to my eyes…
“Fuck!”
The moment I saw the man pull something out of his pocket, I ran right over.
***
When it was his turn, Kim Soo-hyeok smiled in repentance as he watched Lee Se-jin leave the event.
‘Okay, I got rid of the nearest obstruction…’
Kim Soo-hyeok hid his smile, pushed his hat a little tighter and headed in front of Shin So-ye.
“Hello! Thank you for purchasing this album.”
Shin So-ye reflexively greeted Kim Soo-hyuk’s face.
The moment their eyes met, Kim Soo-hyeok could no longer hide his smile.
“Do you remember me?”
Kim Soo-hyeok smashes the plastic shield in front of his eyes with one hand and pulls out a knife from his pocket with the other hand.
Seeing that, Lee Se-jin reacts right away and jumps this way, but this way is much faster to move his hands.
Just before Kim Soo-hyeok swung the knife.
Cheeik!
“Kwaaaaagh!?”
Shin So-ye was the one who moved the fastest.
She took out the self-defense spray she had been carrying in her pocket and sprayed it right into Kim Soo-hyuk’s eyes.
“How dare you… I told you not to get out of my sight again.”
Soo-hyeok Kim stepped back at the pain stabbing his eyes, but there was another person who reacted the fastest after So-ye Shin.
“Crazy bastard!”
It was Im Ha-eun.
As Kim Soo-hyeok took out her knife from her hand, Im Ha-eun quickly ran her hand over her desk and kicked her.
Puck!
“It’s big!?”
A flying kick that hits Kim Soo-hyeok’s side precisely.
With one clean hit, Kim Soo-hyeok was pushed back.
“This dog Sivaaaaa dog!!”
The moment when Kim Soo-hyeok was about to make his final push, it was Lee Se-jin who intervened last.
Before he could wield the sword at will, Lee Se-jin ran up behind him and grabbed Kim Soo-hyeok’s right arm, then pressed his elbow on his forearm to drop the sword.
“Aagh!”
Kim Soo-hyeok falls to his knees screaming in pain.
Lee Se-jin bent his wrist and pressed his arm tightly with his knee.
Kim Soo-hyeok, completely subdued, could only scream like a beast.
“Aww!”
Everyone around them was shocked and frightened at the situation that happened in an instant.
“Security team!”
After suppressing them, the onlookers came to their senses one by one at Lee Se-jin’s cry for security.
And then they started clapping one by one.
The situation just before was so neatly subdued that it looked like a show.
Clap clap clap…
“No, everyone…”
Lee Se-jin was unable to speak further in the strange atmosphere, and the security team that ran soon quickly took Kim Soo-hyeok away and dragged him away.
Shin So-ye called Lee Se-jin and Lim Ha-eun, who did not understand the situation.
“Sejin-ah, Haeun-ah. Let’s continue the autograph session.”
“Nuna, something like that happened just now…”
“It’s okay. Looking at the atmosphere, I can pass without any problems. Think of it as a show.”
“No sister, how…”
“You can do it after the autograph session. There is no need to ruin the event.”
Lee Se-jin and Lim Ha-eun also frowned at her words and nodded their heads.
If possible, it’s best not to spoil the event.
Lee Se-jin and Lim Ha-eun immediately went to their places, and the autograph session continued.
***
It was already late at night when the event was finished and the police came and talked with them and finished everything that had to be done.
I was worried about Soye’s mentality because it was a sudden attack, but she really seemed to be okay.
“It’s really okay. I was a little surprised, but I just didn’t know that the bastard would appear before my eyes again.”
“Should I make an appointment with a psychiatrist? You’ve been through something shocking, so it’s better to take care of it as soon as possible.”
“It’s really okay. Idols are like that, but when I go there, I just end up getting books.”
“It doesn’t matter. Noona’s mentality comes first.”
“Sejin-ah, it’s really, really okay. I’ve been through this kind of happening a few times.”
“…Uh, uh…”
So-ye can’t even guess what kind of family she grew up in.
I’ll have to check it out later when I get a chance.
… If you can confirm
“Hey, how are you? Are you okay now?”
“Tell me it’s okay a few times.”
“Anyway, since she saw her being attacked right in front of her…”
“Ac, I haven’t seen blood either. I haven’t seen a fight or two.”
“…Uh, uh…”
Sure now
Hey, I played around a bit when I was in school. Are you sure.
I’ve had some fights too.
Those kicks were definitely not her amateurish skills.
‘That’s rather fortunate… I won’t be shocked by this incident.’
“Ha, uh… Ugh, really… It’s okay sister… ?”
However, Minji was in shock.
As she was restless, she kept asking Ha-eun how she was doing.
“Sister’s ankle… It doesn’t hurt… Doesn’t it? If you kick it wrong… I heard it breaks…”
“Yeah. It doesn’t hurt. Are you okay?”
“Hey, I haven’t suffered anything…! Uh, unnie’s ankle… I’m worried…”
No, Minji looks fine.
Seeing that Ha-eun was only worried about her ankle in this situation, it seems like Kim Soo-hyuk was nothing.
My kids, I knew it wasn’t normal, but it wasn’t normal in this respect either.
‘Yes, this is better. Rather than hurt mentally…’
Anyway, after checking the condition of all the children and entrusting the case with Kim Soo-hyuk to the police.
I turned on the internet on my phone.
‘Kim Soo-hyuk’s doggie will be investigated by the police… This side has to do this side. I need to see how what happened today spread.’
From the sudden intrusion of a monster, Soye’s molester spray, and Haeun’s overwhelming kick.
From my point of view, the kids handled the sudden accident very well, but since it’s a girl group, bad rumors may spread.
‘There might be some people who say strange things about Ha-eun, such as someone who wrote down their brains to find out how the assailant came in, or that Ha-eun is violent.’
I quickly checked the community, SNS, and Internet articles, and soon found a few articles…
“…What?”
I found that the atmosphere was flowing differently from my worries.
