God of Music Chapter 167

Chapter 167

KangYoon and the others unloaded their luggage . As there were no scheduled events . They all did what they wanted to do .

Lee HyunAh, Lee ChaHee, and a few other ladies went to the sea for a stroll, while Kim JaeHoon, Jung ChanGyu, and the managers started playing a 4-player game on the console they had brought here . As they had put money on the line, everyone had fire in their eyes .

‘Everyone’s having fun . ’

Lee HyunJi was enjoying the breeze under the shade and was very happy to be at such leisure after all this time . The wind seemed to cool her mind as well .

Next to her was KangYoon wearing a bucket hat, deep asleep .

“I guess he should be tired as well . ”

Lee HyunJi smiled bitterly while looking at Lee KangYoon . Although she sometimes found him rather hateful when he threw a bomb into her arms, the president was more rea.s.suring than anyone she knew . She found it unfortunate that he was sleeping when the others were having fun playing around .

The breeze was quite strong and it made his hat flutter . However, KangYoon was deep asleep and showed no signs of waking up . Seeing him motionless, she wanted to play a prank on him .

“Now where’s my marker…”

“Marker?”

At that moment, a voice sounded out next to her . Lee HyunJi was surprised stiff and turned around . It was Min JinSeo .

“That surprised me . Oh, it was JinSeo?”

She stroked down on her chest . Min JinSeo pouted .

“You were surprised? I was here to see if there was anything interesti… huh? It looks like he was very tired from the trip . ”

“Maybe . So I was trying to draw something on his face . ”

“Oh, really?”

Min JinSeo made a playful smile .

“Director, you shouldn’t act like a grade school student . ”

“Whoa, did you just call me a grade school student? Sheesh, looks like that one-way KangYoon att.i.tude of yours isn’t going anywhere . ”

Min JinSeo shrugged her shoulders . Was the sleeping man aware of that?

Even though someone was agonizing over this… she suddenly had the urge to act mean .

“Well, I’ll look over this for today . If I think about it, he kinda deserves it . ”

“Fufufu, that’s right, isn’t it? I guess we have something in common . ”

Min JinSeo took out a black pen from her pocket .

The two took steps towards KangYoon with a sly smile . Min JinSeo and Lee HyunJi giggled soundlessly and closed the pen on KangYoon’s face .

At that moment, KangYoon’s eyes abruptly opened .

“Caught you, you little pranksters!”

“Kyak!”

“Kyaaak!”

With her hand grabbing the pen suddenly being grabbed by his hand, Min JinSeo screamed out loud . Lee HyunJi, who was next to her, was likewise surprised .

KangYoon grinned and stood up from where he was .

“Sheesh, I can’t even sleep now, can I? You’re doing things that a child would…”

KangYoon chuckled . He wasn’t sleeping deeply in the first place . However, he saw Min JinSeo approaching with a pen in her hand .

‘So that’s what you wanted to do?’

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!

KangYoon’s prankful side activated as well . The results were successful .

“Tch, why can’t you just obediently get pranked by us . ”

Lee HyunJi pouted and grumbled . Even though he gave truckloads of work to her, he did not allow such an act of trivial revenge… She found KangYoon mean .

However, KangYoon shrugged his shoulders and spoke .

“Well, please set up a proper situation next time . I’ll gladly take the prank then . ”

“What? You promised . ”

His words lit her fighting spirit on fire . It was the same with Min JinSeo who was next to her .

‘Wait, did I just pour oil on the flames?’

He said that out half-jokingly, but now he wondered if he stepped across the gates of h.e.l.l .

When it became evening, people started coming back one by one . Their dinner was naturally meat . With some meat and alcohol, the mood started becoming heated .

Among the noisy people, Lee HyunJi suddenly clapped . Everyone then paid attention to her . She turned around to KangYoon who was cooking the meat .

“You should say something at a time like this, president . ”

“Oooh! Pre . si . dent! Pre . si . dent!”

With his tongs pulled away from him by Lee HyunJi, KangYoon made a difficult expression . However, he soon cleared his throat .

“It has been a little more than a year since we started . I thank all of you here for your work until now . I always say this, but I hope we can hold something better next time . I’ll toast to World and you say cheers . To World!”

“Cheers!”

The clanging of gla.s.s could be heard everywhere .

After KangYoon’s toast came an event to promote friends.h.i.+p among the musicians and employees of World Entertainment . Lee HyunAh and Kim JaeHoon resolved their grudge about Kim JaeHoon’s song while Park SoYoung also became closer to the artists that she wasn’t close to before .

It was just as they got into the mood . A van arrived at the door before two ladies and a man got off it . It was Jung MinAh and Seo HanYu of Eddios .

“Welcome, unnis . ”

As the landlady, Min JinSeo greeted them . Jung MinAh and Seo HanYu thanked her for the invitation before heading towards KangYoon .

“So you’re here . Thanks for all the work . ”

Other than the members who had regular TV programs to film, the remaining members of Eddios had come here . Han JooYeon also had her schedule, so she wasn’t able to make it . In the end, only Jung MinAh and Seo HanYu were able to come .

Jung MinAh looked for meat as soon as she arrived as she was very hungry . As she had been trying to maintain her figure lately, the smell of meat drove her crazy .

“MEAT!”

Jung MinAh started draining the meat that KangYoon cooked .

“Slow down . ”

KangYoon offered with a smile, but it didn’t work on her . Today was one of the rare days she was exempt from her diet . She needed to eat all she could at this opportunity .

Despite that, she did not forget to give KangYoon a ssam .

(T/N: A ‘ssam’ is basically a wrap, not with bread but with lettuce . It’s usually given to someone one has affection for, like family . or in this case… you know what’s going on . Look up “Korean wrap” on google images if you want to see what it looks like . )

“Ahjussi, say ah . ”

“I’m alright thou…”

“Say ah . ”

Due to Jung MinAh’s persistence, KangYoon had to take the ssam with his mouth . As his hands weren’t free, he had to take it with his mouth .

‘……’

Naturally, both Min JinSeo and Lee HyunAh saw what was going on . It happened in plain sight after all .

Min JinSeo immediately wrapped some big chunks of meat and various vegetables and quickly ran towards KangYOon .

“Sir, here . Eat this . ”

“Ma Maaah ih foo ho (My mouth is full though) . ”

“Take your time . ”

Min JinSeo waited until KangYoon ate the whole thing . Her eyes were scary . KangYoon tried to receive it with his hands but her eyes became even scarier .

“Ahh . ”

“……”

In the end, KangYoon had to open his mouth wide again . He put the ssam in his mouth and chewed . The meat juices and the ssamjang (T/N: a kind of paste), and the vegetables created a delicious harmony in his mouth .

“Isn’t it tasty?”

“Ih ihh (It is) . ”

“I’ll make you another one . ”

When Min JinSeo headed to the table to make another one, KangYoon felt fear . He then saw Lee HyunAh who was coming his way from a distance .

He gave Kim JaeHoon, who was next to him, the tongs .

“Hyung, what is it?”

“I’ll be right back . ”

KangYoon escaped his spot as though he was running away . He also saw what was going on . At this rate, he would be overstuffed with the food that the three ladies would give him .

“Mr . JaeHoon . Have you seen the president?”

“Oppa, where’s ahjussi?”

“Oppa, have you seen KangYoon-oppa?”

“……”

When Min JinSeo, Jung MinAh, and even Lee HyunAh came to him looking for KangYoon, Kim JaeHoon could only blink several times .

***

A studio located in Apgujeong . (T/N: This is Seoul, so very far from Jeju . )

Kim JiMin was currently in a photoshoot for a women’s magazine .

“Miss Eunha, why don’t you smile a little?”

The photographer didn’t seem satisfied with the photos he got and gestured her to smile . Kim JiMin nodded her head and tried her best to curve her lips into a smile .

The photoshoot continued .

‘Everyone should be having fun right about now, right?’

She couldn’t do away with those trivial thoughts for some reason . Someone was working here while the others were relaxing in Jeju… . she found them to be so mean .

“Huh? Miss Eunha . Your expression is becoming strange now . ”

“I’m very sorry . ”

Due to other thoughts, Kim JiMin couldn’t focus on the photoshoot . The photographer shook his head after looking at some of the photos he had just taken .

“This isn’t going to do . Will it be better if we rest a little? We’ll rest a little then!”

Eventually, a rest period took place due to Kim JiMin’s mistakes . This measure was put in place as the photographer deemed that continuing with the shoot would be a futile effort .

Kim JiMin had to apologize to the photographer for causing an inconvenience .

“I’m sorry . ”

“Don’t mention it, Miss JiMin . People have good and bad days . It will be okay after some rest, right?”

“Yes . ”

After apologizing to the staff, Kim JiMin returned to her seat .

Just as she was drinking some water that her manager gave her, someone approached him .

“Aren’t you a little too tired?”

“s...o...b..e-nim . ”

It was Hw.a.n.g JooGyeom that she had met through a radio program a few days ago . Coincidentally, their photoshoot happened on the same day, which was today .

Hw.a.n.g JooGyeom encouraged Kim JiMin who looked a little down . He said that people couldn’t have a good day every day .

Usually, Kim JiMin would light-heartedly say thanks and just forget about it, but today she couldn’t find those words more thankful .

“…Thank you . ”

“No, no . Don’t mention it . Though, is there something up today? You look quite dejected . ”

“The thing is…”

Kim JiMin ended up telling him that she wasn’t able to go to Jejudo because of her schedule and that she was the only one left out . Although strictly speaking, four members of Eddios weren’t able to attend either, she didn’t know that right now .

Hw.a.n.g JooGyeom made a bitter expression after hearing her story .

“Oh my . It would have been good if everyone could go together . ”

“It can’t be helped . It’s not easy rescheduling everyone’s appointments . ”

Although she understood it with her mind, she couldn’t help but feel a little sad in a corner of her heart .

Hw.a.n.g JooGyeom took her side unconditionally and she started opening her heart .

“JiMin, I’m not sure if it can be a consolation for you, but how about you go on holiday?”

“Go on holiday? To where?”

Kim JiMin became curious . When that happened, Hw.a.n.g JooGyeom grinned and spoke .

“To our company . ”

Absurd words, but due to the unexpected turn of events, Kim JiMin burst out laughing .

“Hahaha . sheesh . s...o...b..e-nim . That’s no vacation . ”

“Everywhere is a vacation other than the company, isn’t it?”

“Hahaha, is that so?”

Kim JiMin eventually fell for Hw.a.n.g JooGyeom’s words .

After the photoshoot, she headed to VVIP Entertainment, which Hw.a.n.g JooGyeom belonged to .

***

The drinking that started in the evening continued late into the night .

The president, the director, the artists, and all the staff joined in on the fun .

They talked about what they usually couldn’t, and they drank into the night while talking about stories and episodes they had .

Min JinSeo also joined them and was only able to open her eyes at 11 in the morning .

“*Yawn*…”

When she opened her eyes, Jung MinAh, Lee HyunAh, and Lee ChaHee were practically ‘strewn’ across the room .

“So this is what a college members.h.i.+p training looks like . ”

Although the room was a mess, she was actually glad that it was . The fact that she was able to get along with others made her heart warm .

“Hmnia hmnya… . ” (T/N: Unrecognizable sleep talk . )

“Zzz . ”

Min JinSeo left the ladies to sleep and quietly left through the door .

After putting on some basic make-up, she left the villa . She went to the bench in the garden where she saw KangYoon and Kim JaeHoon together . Kim JaeHoon was singing along to some music from his phone while KangYoon was enjoying the music .

“Sir, oh? and JaeHoon-oppa . ”

Min JinSeo naturally mixed in with them . KangYoon and Kim JaeHoon also waved back at her .

“Have you had a good sleep?”

“Yes . What about you?”

“I had a good sleep . Was it okay to sleep like that, JinSeo?”

Min JinSeo playfully smiled and spoke .

“Other than MinAh-unni snoring a little, everything else was okay . ”

“*Giggle* . ”

Kim JaeHoon giggled . It was hard to imagine someone like Jung MinAh snoring, and he found something new . She was going on the offense against her ‘rival’ .

KangYoon shrugged his shoulders .

“Oh . JinSeo, do you want to listen as well? It’s a song JaeHoon made this time . ”

“Oh really?”

Min JinSeo’s eyes were filled with curiosity . Actually, she wanted to watch how KangYoon worked . She quietly watched the two people from next to KangYoon .

Some difficult jargon like vocal method was exchanged between the two . They also talked about what kind of music Kim JaeHoon wanted to sing . Although the terms made it difficult for Min JinSeo to understand, KangYoon seemed to s.h.i.+ne in situations like these .

…No matter how many years had pa.s.sed, KangYoon seemed like a superman to her .

After talking about the song for quite a time, Kim JaeHoon told them that he had something to discuss with Jung ChanGyu and stood up from his seat . Now, only KangYoon and Min JinSeo were on the bench .

“I don’t think everyone’s up yet, so shall we go out and get some food?”

There was no way Min JinSeo would reject his proposal .

“Shall we?”

Actually, she was overjoyed to death, but she tried not to express it .

The two got into a car and left the villa .
