“How mad are you?”

 

Kim Mingyu, suited to perfection, coiffed for business, paced the floor of his office. He had a thick diary in one hand and an iPad in the other and he was prepared to use either to defend himself from his client.

 

“Wild. How dare he?” Boo Seungkwan’s hands shook as he gripped the phone in his clutches. The photos of Yoon Jeonghan were stunning. He looked incredibly y, his new white blond hair the talk on everyone’s lips, he was at the top of every gossip page and every news story. He was even trending on twitter. Any buzz from Seungkwan’s own teaser photos had been swiftly eaten up by this revelation in the industry. Who would have known the ‘nation’s angel’ could change his image overnight and turn out so hot?

 

“I’ve been asking for a y concept for this comeback and you,” he gestured wildly at his tall manager making the big man flinch, “you and this company tell me no. You say it can’t work, it won’t sell, it won’t suit me.” The phone landed on the desk with a crash but didn’t crack. “No one knew it would suit this so much but here he is anyway, all ‘oooh look at my nips’ and ‘ my hair who cares’ and he looks amazing.”

 

“Look, Boo…” Mingyu had to sooth the beast before a radio interview in an hour. “It’s not your time yet. He’s been around for years and you’re still a rookie. You need more time to grow into your image.” It didn’t work. Seungkwan wasn’t satiated at all. He grabbed the cute pink beret off the table and unceremoniously plonked it on top of his honey brown locks. “Are you saying I’m not y?” he scowled at his manager fiercely from under the little hat and Mingyu couldn’t help it. He began to chuckle and soon was overtaken with loud laughter as tears dripped from his eyes. He watched Seungkwan snatch the hat off his head and throw it to the ground and that just made him laugh harder. “Sorry Boo,” he managed to gasp through his mirth. “You just looked so cute in that little hat and when you get mad you’re even cuter…”

 

He stopped laughing and leaned down to pick the hat up and put it back on Seungkwan’s head. “Give it another twelve months. Have patience. You won’t have to stick with this forever but you need more time to establish yourself.” Mingyu thought hard before finding the right words to placate his diva client. “Jeonghan is old, remember…” a slow smile crept across Seungkwan’s face and Mingyu knew he had him. “He has to find new tricks. He’s been out for so long with the same old concept it’s not fresh anymore and he’s probably getting desperate.” It was working. The brightness returned to his cheeks as he wandered over to a mirror on the wall and reapplied his cherry lip gloss, smacking them together loudly, before turning back to Mingyu happily. “I’m still fresh. Aren’t I?” Mingyu grinned widely. “Yes Boo. That’s what I’m trying to tell you. You’re still fresh and youthful. You don’t need to show your s to hit the top of the charts. Leave that cheap fo

Chapter 62: Interesting how that whole "relationship exposure" seemed to have blown over a bit after just declining to comment on it.

Haha, Jeonghan being an accidental matchmaker. Guess Seungkwan is gonna love yoga! Seokmin can't hold a note (in this universe) so he got into sports, that's a funny thought. Very cute drabble. ^^

Chapter 61: A sweet end with a sweet new kitten. Jeongcheol's love is lovely. ♡ Good to see Jisoo has new priorities and a life of his own beyond Jeonghan now, too. I really enjoyed reading.

Chapter 60: All's well that ends well. They're all safe and secure and surrounded by good people who they adore and appreciate.

Chapter 59: As reckless as it may have been, if Seungcheol had stayed out, it may not have ended so easily. Commanding someone unhinged to surrender is a long-shot. He may have hurt Hannie and/or himself instead, knowing he was cornered. Cheol sneaking in bypassed that chance, thankfully, so nothing worse could happen.

Now, aside from the media, they can get some peace. Being publicly outed and their relationship exposed seems like nothing they can't handle now.

Chapter 58: Damn, he almost escaped. Being tased a second time and falling down the stairs though, . He could be seriously hurt. Definitely need some outside intervention now. Hopefully they take Hansol by surprise though, so he can't hold Jeonghan as a hostage.

Chapter 57: Oh, he's that kind of crazy. The type where you almost feel sorry for him. He really lives in a delusional world where he'll get his way after all this and live happily ever after with Seungkwan somehow. When in reality, best case scenario is he'll be kept in a mental institution somewhere.

Jeonghan certainly isn't the damsel in distress, he's smart and crafty too. Even while slightly injured. Maybe he will get himself out of this situation before anyone else can save him.

Chapter 56: Yeah, that definitely wasn't the time and place for a Jisoo/Mingyu moment. They were so damn room-illiterate it's shocking.

But what matters is that Seungcheol is pissed off and determined, so there's no doubting he will do what he said and bring Hannie home.

Chapter 55: The only thing worse than a psycho stalker creep that makes threats is a clever psycho stalker creep who follows through on threats. It's a relief if there wasn't actually a bomb and he really meant it when he said he wouldn't hurt Jeonghan. Though tasing someone certainly seems to go against that. But he really went to the lengths of basically domestic terrorism and kidnapping to support his idol. Ffs.

Chapter 54: So it's the (relative) calm before the storm. As ed up as it is to have your personal life exposed like that, not completely on your own terms, guess there's something in the idea that genuine fans will stick around and he'd lose the toxic ones. Ironically, maybe gain a bit more freedom than other idols. Being unashamed of being in a relationship, and with a man at that. (Thankfully/sadly, because it's fiction, we can believe it will be more accepted.)

Just. Hopefully once that creep sees he has no power, he will give up. Not escalate to something more dangerous.

Chapter 53: "Junhui, who was really feeling himself dressed in Jeonghan's Gucci," hahaha, Junnie making the best of the situation.

Speaking of, looks like Mingyu and Jisoo know how to do that too! Didn't take them long lol. Just a little wine for bravery maybe.
