Baekhyun adapted well on the protocols and procedures in the west. He was feeling excited for this big leap of his career. However, there is still a pinch of sadness buried deep inside his core. He wants to forget it to the very least, by focusing on his music.

@StardailyNewsline:
The Byun Baekhyun is about to drop his 1st solo album!!! Are you ready Bobohus?

@Bobohus04:
Yas!!! King coming through!!

@Jongjongyeol:
Eehh? He’s already an artist in the west, stop reporting about him because we don’t care.

@saatinline:
I wonder how his boyfriend Minseok feels? I am sure that Taeyeon relationship was just a cover up. You just can’t escape truth

@Minseokist9926:
@saatinline: stFu and stop dragging Minseok into Baekhyun related articles

“Do you still wonder sometimes why Baekhyun left us so suddenly? His departure was just so weird”. Jongdae opened up one day while eating their dinner.

Minseok almost choked on his chicken.

“Min are you okay?” Kyungsoo handed him a glass of water.

“Yeah, thanks Soo.”

“Hmm. Dae I think he really is just tired of being in a group. He was offered the contract and that’s his dream. So I guess he chose that over us”. Luhan explained why gnawing.

Minseok remained silent.

———————

After two, three years of Baekhyun’s departure, he was able to establish a name of his own. His success is remarkable.

MLJK also redeemed their spot. They have become more popular as ever not just in Korea but internationally. Their albums hit daebak, concerts sold out in 0.2 seconds, and all else you can imagine from a legendary group. Despite numerous offers to work abroad, the four men decided that they will stay promoting in Korea—as a group.

Despite their busy schedules, Minseok decided to enroll for a phd program. His mind still boggles on Baekhyun’s thoughts, though he can shrug it off. Being busy with his schedule sure helped, however, he needs a full distraction and a long term career he can pursue.

He was able to juggle his studies and work at the same time but the members still worry about him a lot.

Their contract was also altered a bit, in which they are no longer allowed to go out without any security personnel with them. At least to avoid what happened the last time. However, the members feel too choked up at times.

Meanwhile, Minseok’s individual popularity grew immensely. Though he doesn’t always attend to variety or tv shows, his unique charm really caught the world’s attention.
