What they have in common is whether she participated in Yumi’s album or not, but Yumi is not here.
What that meant was great.
Jo Seong-hyeon was about to sit down and then got up again.
“brother.”
“yes?”
When Jo Sung-hyun calls Park Joong-won in a slightly urgent voice, Park Joong-won looks at him with a puzzled face.
No, from the moment Jo Sung-hyun tried to sit down and got up from the beginning, Park Joong-won and Choi Woo-jin’s eyes were already on Jo Sung-hyun.
“I’ll borrow your car. Please give me the key.”
Jo Sung-hyun said in a firm voice.
Park Joong-won blinked at his words.
“… Seo Ye-na is coming. Where are you going?”
“It’s Yumi’s house.”
At his words, Park Joong-won’s face turned into a goofy face.
Park Joong-won is not incompetent either.
Given the circumstances, it was clear that a letter had already been sent to Yumi.
Jo Sung-hyun’s reason for going to Yu-mi’s house quickly was quickly explained, and Park Joong-won looked at him with a serious face.
“Are you okay?”
“yes. You can’t go.”
Jo Sung-hyun asked if it would be okay to go, and Jo Sung-hyun answered without hesitation by nodding his head.
It was the best way to go.
It’s more poisonous for Park Joong-won to move here.
Although Yumi is important, as the victims are not one or two, Park Joong-Won has to keep his seat and arrange the situation.
This was something that Jo Sung-hyun couldn’t do, no matter how capable he was.
Because of the location, Jo Sung-hyun was just a producer.
‘of course… .’
With that in mind, it’s funny that producer Jo Seong-hyeon just rented a company car and went to Yumi’s house.
Jo Sung-hyun did not have time to think about such things.
In the end, Park Joong-won rummaged through his pocket, took out the key, and threw it away.
good.
With a small sound, the key landed in Jo Sung-hyun’s hand.
“thanks.”
“No, thank you. I’ll ask you a favor.”
“yes.”
Jo Sung-hyun gave a brief answer and turned around.
Without even having time to talk properly with Choi Woo-jin, he left right away.
I walk quickly to the parking lot.
There was no need to find out where the car was.
There was a place where Park Joong-won habitually parked, and Jo Seong-hyeon, who had worked with him for several years, knew where it was.
“uh? what.”
Arriving at the underground parking lot, I want to move quickly.
A familiar voice is heard from afar.
calligraphic
Jo Sung-hyun turned his head to check her.
It seems that Seo Ye-na, who was walking with team leader Woo Kyung-soo, found Jo Sung-hyun and made a sound.
Jo Sung-hyun bowed his head and greeted her.
Seo Ye-na is greeted by blinking her eyes and nodding her head.
Jo Sung-hyun didn’t say any more, but turned around and headed for the car.
Get into the driver’s seat and start the engine right away.
Seo Ye-na had a slightly absurd face, but receiving her absurd gaze is a much better option than Yumi reading a letter.
He stepped on the accelerator without hesitation.
Booung.
You can hear the engine running, and the car moves forward quickly.
He hurried as much as he could.
I was really glad that Chaeyoon didn’t see the letter, and I wished that Yumi had not read the letter yet if possible.
It will depend on when he arrives.
* * *
Yumi was sitting crouching on the sofa.
Holding her legs together, she tried to catch her breath.
Right in front of her feet was a white stationery.
With a face afraid to check the letter, Yumi began to carefully read the first line of the letter.
[Always watching… .]
The content of the letter that begins similar to the last time.
Yumi checked it all the way there and closed her eyes tightly again.
I don’t know how many letters it has already been.
To be honest, I was scared.
The letters that started coming in a few days ago contained threats, not threats.
Knowing your own house is a scary thing, but it was natural to be afraid to talk back and say creepy things as if you were doing it for yourself.
“ha… .”
She took a deep breath, and then let out a sigh.
It’s been a few days since I received a letter, but every time I received it, the shock was still there.
It’s a fear you’re not used to.
I wish I could tell someone, but I couldn’t.
‘Everyone is busy preparing for the album, so we shouldn’t worry about things like this again.’
Let’s look at the situation very honestly.
Yumi herself was an artist who had just taken off her rookie tee.
It’s not an easy place to flirt.
Besides, isn’t this the time to even prepare an album?
It was also the time when Yumi herself would be the most sensitive, but it was the same for everyone else.
If Jo Sung-hyun had been the manager, he would probably have brought up the story at least carefully.
Then he must have been able to help him somehow.
However, it was not easy for Jang Hyun-ah to bring up such a story.
I wondered if I was suddenly carrying too much of a burden.
It is said that it was common to receive letters like this from anti-fans until a few years ago.
I also wondered if I wasn’t going to do something like this.

My heart beats strongly, and I feel like someone is constantly watching me.
“it’s okay… I can’t do anything.”
Your opponent can’t do anything.
At the very least, leaving the letter is all the other person can do.
She finally opened her eyes and stared at the stationery.
I wish I could tear it apart, but it wasn’t easy.
I don’t know why, but it was difficult for her to tear up that stationery.
It’s something I don’t understand myself.
“… … .”
I felt helpless.
too powerless
In the entertainment world, I heard countless times about the jungle, and I felt it myself.
I vowed to myself that I had to be strong to survive, but it wasn’t easy.
Even though I keep repeating in my head that I have to be strong enough to protect everyone, so that no one can touch me… I couldn’t tear that single little letter.
‘Because of that… .’
I can’t sleep easily, and my nerves keep getting more and more sensitive.
Seriously, if Jo Sung-hyun had been his manager, he would have talked to him because he was too tired.
‘Cause it’s so hard to bear
Then it would have been solved already.
“No, calm down.”
she muttered to herself.
I can’t reach out to Cho Sung-hyun.
I can’t ask him to help.
Seong-hyeon Cho was no longer his manager.
A producer working with him on his album.
She cares about her personal affairs and has no obligation or reason to help her.
Rather, we should be extremely grateful for Cho Seong-hyun’s efforts to get his attention and prevent further damage to Yumi’s album because of Choi Hyun-jun’s work.
In a way, Jo Sung-hyun made a sacrifice for himself.
At least in Yumi’s eyes, it was reflected that way.
Because of that, we shouldn’t put a burden on Jo Sung-hyun any more.
you have to bear it yourself
I thought so.

Maybe, really maybe… Even Chae-yoon could be harmed.
If the people around her and her album were safe by what she endured, she could be satisfied with that.
Thinking like that, I stared at the letter in front of me.
taktak.
A sound is heard from somewhere.
knocking on the door.
Yumi raised her head in surprise.
It was a sound coming from the front door.
“Who are you?”
I am alone at home, and a visitor came to me while I was reading a letter.
Perhaps the person who wrote the letter came to visit.
Feeling a little anxious, she hurriedly got up to look for her smartphone, and at that moment, she stopped at the sound of a voice from the front door.
“It’s me. Yumi.”
Yumi shook her head and stopped, and approached the front door.
Open the door and look at the person in front of you.
Jo Sung-hyun was standing there.
He used to be his manager, and now he’s a producer.
he was there
* * *
“brother… hello.”
Yumi exhales a sigh of relief.
Jo Seong-hyeon could tell by looking at her face that she had already read the letter.
It came as quickly as possible, but I guess I couldn’t stop her from reading the letter.
“… Are you okay?”
“yes? What?”
At her question, Jo Sung-hyun looked at Yumi again.
Tired complexion, anxious eyes.
It was certain that he had read the letter.
But pretend you don’t know
Why?
From https://noblemtl.com
Many reasons passed through his mind, but Jo Sung-hyun ignored them.
Right now, it was the most important thing for Yumi to settle down and for the company to understand the situation.
That way you can follow up.
“The letter, did you read it?”
“… … .”
Yumi’s eyes twinkle.
She didn’t even know how Jo Seong-hyeon knew and asked.
In response to Yumi’s reaction, Jo Sung-hyun narrowed her forehead.
The reaction is more intense than expected.
Something… .
“Mr. Yumi.”
“Yes, brother.”
Hardly, Yumi answers.
I opened my mouth to see Seong-hyeon Jo.
“until now… How many letters did you receive in total?”
“… I got it four times.”
Yumi answered, and Jo Seong-hyeon contorted her face.
Even though they have received the letter four times so far, Park Joong-won and Jang Hyun-ah did not know anything about it.
Jo Sung-hyun didn’t know either.
Yumi hid it on purpose.
He didn’t ask why.
She must have had her own reasons.
With a small sigh, Jo Sung-hyun shook his head.
more angry
Jo Sung-hyun clenched his teeth, then released his expression immediately.
Showing emotions here only makes Yumi more agitated.
He continued speaking while looking at Yumi as calmly as possible.
“Um, first… I think it would be better to simply prepare and go to work. Or would it be better to rest at home?”
Park Joong-won wants to bring Yumi, but… As soon as Jo Sung-hyun heard that Yu-mi had received the letter four times, he delayed the fact that the company had to figure out the situation.
Yumi’s stability must be prioritized.
Otherwise, something really serious could happen.
Jo Sung-hyun has seen countless artists suffering from anxiety, depression, and panic disorder.
Yumi is like that… Jo Sung-hyun couldn’t just leave it alone.
He was also an artist he cared for before, and now he is working with him as a producer.
Above all, if Yumi becomes like that, Chaeyoon will have a hard time too.
“brother. Please be honest.”
“Yes I will.”
At Yumi’s words, Seonghyeon Jo said while nodding her head.
“Maybe that letter. Did anyone other than me get it?”
It seems that she has thought about it herself, and has come to a conclusion.
Jo Sung-hyun had to answer Yu-mi’s question, making eye contact.
“Yes, Chae-yoon, Seo Ye-na, and Woo-jin… I am a victim who has been identified so far.”
“… I must have been stupid. I thought I could survive on my own.”
Yumi speaks with a face mixed with self-help.
Jo Sung-hyun couldn’t answer her words.
He also had similar thoughts.
Though death completely changed that thought.
“I will get ready. please wait for a moment.”
“yes.”
“Oh, and my brother.”
“Yes, Yumi.”
“Maybe Chae Yoon… Did you read it?”
“no. I only read it.”
Jo Sung-hyun gave a neat answer, and Yumi shook her head.
“Yeah, that’s good.”
Having said that, Yumi went into the house and came back out exactly 5 minutes later.
When she left the house, her face… Somehow, it was tight.
“Brother, let’s go now.”
to kill that bastard.
Yumi muttered.
