Chapter 167. Jejudo Is A Windy Island (2)

Translator: Chamber

Editor: Illidan

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 reassuring 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 attitude 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 hell.

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 glass could be heard everywhere.

After KangYoon’s toast came an event to promote friendship 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?”

“Seonbae-nim.”

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

Hwang 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.

Hwang 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.

Hwang 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, Hwang JooGyeom grinned and spoke.

“To our company.”

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

“Hahaha. sheesh. Seonbae-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 Hwang JooGyeom’s words.

After the photoshoot, she headed to VVIP Entertainment, which Hwang 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 membership 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 shine in situations like these.

…No matter how many years had passed, 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.
