2.19

In the past few days, Yeonwoo only stayed with Hee-Ryang at his home. But during those days, the popularity of N-Zero has risen so much, that surpasses even several veteran artists.

They also released one album that was easily gotten out of stock. It was scary to the point that even Manager Yan can't help but to tremble in excitement as he received countless contract for his group. But as a proficient himself, he only accepted contracts that can gain advantages of the group.

---- I brought the album, and to be honest it was very chaotic and hard just to obtain this single album. But it was very worth it! I've been playing it a hundred of times.

---- The voice, the songs, the meaning are all god level! I did not believe that this group was a rookie!

---- In the first place, I only brought this album for my little sister. But looked at me now, I am the one playing it countless times!

---- Kyle's voice is such an angel, Zaya is very versatile, Yunbin was cold yet seductive and Yeonwoo my queen!... Even his voice sound so arrogant, I don't complain though.

Afterwards, the release of the film 'Tempted' was also getting closer. Some of the cast was already promoting the movie from every variety show. Yeonwoo was the only one who was excepted from the promotion due to his tight schedule and was busy for their concert. But now, Director Yu already contacted him to join the famous variety show together with all the cast.

Wearing a usual clothes, Yeonwoo drove all the way from the said studio. The tiredness on his eyes was very visible due to the night exercise he had with Hee-Ryang. That beast! Pretending to care about him, only to be eaten every night. If this continues every day, his body will soon die from exhaustion.

That's why he never let Hee-Ryang accompany him this time, and he was determined to go home. Albeit the face of Hee-Ryang being pitiful was very tempted, he long noticed that he was just a cunning jerk!

After a couple of minutes, he arrived at the destination and noticed that it was very crowded. The reporters and fans was scattered and spread in the entrance door. The mixed noises and sound was very contrasting in the whole studio. He then regretted that he did not accept the goodwill of the director to fetch him.

He parked his car and hurriedly put his sunglasses on. Once he went out, he immediately got their attention. Some of the binding lights of the camera made his brow furrowed. The screaming of the several fans made his ear go numb and defeaning. The good thing that the security was reliable in this aspect and immediately pushed all the people who were running on his way. He flashed an arrogant smile and the scream was getting louder.

"Oh my gosh!"

"Yeonwoo my queen, step on me ah!"

"Please spare me a glance!"

He went all the way from the entrance door and was instantly met by the tired face of the director.

"Goodness. I was very nervous if you really don't show up right now."

Director Yu was wearing his daily suit and the black dots on his eyes was very visible.

Yeonwoo smiled and raised his eyebrow, "I'm sorry. I was tired from the concert."

Director Yu only nodded and pushed him inside to the dressing room. They only have half an hour before the show will start.

Yeonwoo removed his glasses and sat on the chair, the makeup artist right away attended him. The staff only covered the exhaustion from his face and did not bother to add anymore.

"Don't you have any assistant?" Suddenly a sweet voice sounded from behind.

Yeonwoo turned his head and saw the pretty face of Yunho. He displayed a very mocking smile and only raised his eyebrow.

The ignored Yunho stiffened and the smile on his face completely disappeared. The other staff and individuals inside felt the intense tension from the two. They separated themselves from the tragic ambience and did not bother to utter any single word.

Yunho exhibit his gorgeous face and smiled apologetically from the staff before he turned his eyes on Yeonwoo, smiling nicely but underneath those was a clenching fist.

"I'm sorry, I did not watch the concert, but I heard it was awesome! Congratulations."he complimented.

Yeonwoo lick his lips and chuckled faintly. His white face was very persuasive as his every action can convince anyone without saying any words. Just like the situation right now, his silence means he doesn't like this specific hermaphrodite. And other people don't have to question that, because it only feels that way.

Yunho was not affected by the cold shoulder and slowly sat beside Yeonwoo, "I know some good agency that has an outstanding assistant. If you want, I can recommend someone to you."

Finally, Yeonwoo was willing to look at him and muttered, "Ow? How can a mere newbie like you know something like that?"

The smile on Yunho's lips froze, and his lips was bitten harshly.

He has forgotten that he was only a newbie actor right now. And suggesting something for the newbie like him is considered arrogant. He was not a superior actor to begin with, and with a family like Yeonwoo, he doesn't need someone to recommend it.

Yunho look away and noticed the strange gazes from the staff. His calm and collected appearance instantly returned and smile sincerely to the staff then turned his eyes back on Yeonwoo.

"My friend was working on that agency, that's why I know that."he replied in rehearsed tone.

Yeonwoo only nodded and smirked playfully, "I understand your concern, but no need for that. I am not comfortable that someone was following me the whole day."

Before Yunho was given a time to respond, a staff entered the dressing room and reminded them that the show will soon to start. Yunho only displayed his calm smile and set aside the discomfort on his heart. But his eyes remain on the hidden camera of his assistant. Slowly a wicked smile emerge in his pretty face.

They were only few audiences present in the show, some was very eager to see the cast of the said live adaption novel.

On the open air, was displayed sign boards and posters with their proclamation of love for the novel and each of the cast. Even proposals was printed and written into different colorful inks.

The variety show was called 'The Ed and Ted'. It was very famous and well-known for introducing promising young actors and the two hosts was very excellent actors.

On the contrary, one man and one hermaphrodite entered the studio and was immediately greeted by endless cheers and shouts.

The hermaphrodite with a very pleasing face smiled and greeted nicely, "It's very loud right now, I think I need to check my ears if it was still functioning."then he paused and rolled his eyes, "Of course I know that I am not the reason for those cacophonous sound!"

The audience laughed at his comments and was very lively again.

"I am Ed."

"And I am Ted."

"And this is The Ed and Ted show!"

Then a harmonious clap sounded. Some staff members hurriedly prepared all the props and setting for the show.

Once again Ed furrowed his eyebrow and showed a very rehearse disappointed face, "So what are we waiting for? Let's meet the cast of the movie 'Tempted!"

Abruptly, countless cheers and squeals sounded in the studio. Although, the audience was only limited in number, the sound that they produced was simply defeaning as the cast slowly appeared.

"That was very lively, don't you think, Ted?" Ed complimented and chuckled lowly.

Ted only nodded and urge the crowd to be quiet. He then turned his head on the cast who were currently sitting on the chair that was prepared. His nice face was displayed as he read the script that was provided, "Wow. I never thought I would see promising actors today!" He started, "Once again, welcome to the Ed and Ted show!"

The casts only smiled and nodded. Yeonwoo who sat next to the main villain only furrowed his eyebrow, seemingly annoyed. When his eyes traces the crowd, he let out a seductive grinned and put his finger in front of his lips, urging them to be quiet.

Some of the audience stiffened and blushes. They hurriedly cover their mouth to avoid the scream leaking on those.

Perceiving the silence, Yeonwoo finally turned his head on the host, apparently satisfied.

"So this movie Tempted was one of the popular teenage survival novel. So what is your reaction after finding out that you will play one of the characters of the said novel? Let's start with Suho, of course, the protagonist!"

Suho's face was dazzling as he accepted the mic, "For me, I was really shocked of the news that I was going to play Guan, the male protagonist. On the surface, I only audition for fun and was not expected to portray this awesome character as many of the veteran actors also audition for this. To my surprise, I manage to get the character! For me, it was simply overwhelming."

"Hi everyone, I'm Yunho, and I will be the heroine Cai Huan." Yunho answered next, his face was very pleasant and beautiful making some audience blushed for no reason, seeing this, Yunho only let out a contentment smile before he continued, "Like Suho, I also did not expect that I will chosen to play this character. In my perspective, as a newbie in the aspect of this industry and was instantly chosen to play a significant character, it was so severely jubilation. I was thankful for the director and the rest of the staff for giving me this opportunity."

Ed nodded with interest as he asked a follow-up question, "Is this your first time acting?"

Yunho flashed a shy yet confidence smile and replied solemnly, "No. Actually, I participated in one or maybe two movies already. But my role was only a cannon fodder or extra, that's why I am still considered a rookie."

"Wow. Maybe you are outstanding that made the Director choose you, a newbie."

"You flatter me. But I was not really veteran like Suho hyung."

Suho responded with a proud grinned, but his eyes was still stocked on the left side, where the quite youth reside.

Afterwards, some minor cast also answered the question before it was finally stopped on Yeonwoo.

Ed lightly forced his smile and was keenly observing Yeonwoo, "And for Yeonwoo, what is your reaction after finding out that an idol like you will play one of the significant characters in the novel?"

Ed was well-known for his sharp question that was hidden beneath those sugary words. He was excellent in making some of their guest reveal their true colors. And the tone he used on Yeonwoo was very different compared to the others. Some of the cast who was not novice in Ed's manipulation can't help but to took pity on Yeonwoo.

Yet, the youth who was quite the whole time suddenly flashed his cunning smile, "Oh. Actually, my reaction was not severe compared to the others." When Ed with the audience was confused, he licked his lips and continued, "In the first place, I don't have plan entering acting career, but I unexpectedly received a call from Director Yu wanting me to play one of his character. So I only accepted to gain experience."

His answered obviously made Ed froze. But he was the person who won't be easily affected by this provocation. A plastered smirked appeared on his lips.

"Hmm. No offense, but this is not the first time that there were an idol cast in film or series, but they all become the laughing stocked in the showbiz. So, it was really unexpected that the famous Director was the one who choose an idol to play a character."

The atmosphere suddenly become heated due to the confrontation that was slowly invading. Ed did not bother to sugarcoat his words anymore and was impatiently waiting for Yeonwoo to show his real face. Angry and annoyed, that's what he aims for.

Only Yeonwoo calmly rolled his eyes and let out a sexy chuckled, "Are you belittling the work of an idol?"

Hearing this, Ed was the only one who felt conflicted. The audience was silent and the rest of the cast stared confusingly on Yeonwoo.

Ed only smiled, "It was not my intention—"

"Not really." Yeonwoo cut him off, "Your words are precise and firm, not a single syllables can make your objectives unintentionally. In fact, your question downgraded all the idols in the entertainment industry."

The whole studio was quiet for a moment, and not a single word was released as their eyes only glued at the calm expression of Yeonwoo.

"In my perspective, the work on an idol is much complicated than of the actors. We dance, sing and if needed, was to act in every part of our music video. Yes, we are inferior when it comes to acting career but to be able to catch emotions was also part of acting. Our voice was the symbol of our sensation and our moves was the foundation of our deep emotion, and as an actor yourselves, you already know that being an artist was to hold and make the audience feel what you are currently portraying. Just an actor, you act based on what the script has given, we also act what the song and dance has needed."

His words were like a dagger that kept piercing in their hearts over and over again. As the mocking and criticism sensation that they felt about the idols completely disappear and was replaced by an awe and adoration.

Ted, noticing his partner discomfort, let out a laughed, "I believed Yeonwoo's words are true."

Suho next responded, "Yeonwoo in the crew was very dedicated. Even if his schedule was very tight, he still managed to attend all the shooting days that he had."

"That's awesome. I heard that they were a scene that many novel readers expected that you and Yeonwoo performed?"

Shifting the topic was the only way to ease the rage confrontation. And Ted used this as a distraction.

Suho also noticed this but did not say anything and attentively answered the given question, "That scene was very hard to portrayed as many readers was hook by that immense tension."he then turned his head and smiled at Yeonwoo.

Distinguishing that there were something going on here, Ted was filled with interest. "Tell me, how did you manage to pull this scene?"

"Yeonwoo was very talented, and it was easy working together with a person like him. That's why we pulled this scene effortless and excellent. It was not a lie that Yeonwoo said that idol was very versatile!"

The show continued with Suho, endlessly complimenting Yeonwoo.

------

The show was aired the next day and many citizens watched the program with interest. And the confrontation with Yeonwoo and Ed was not edited and immediately hook the audience.

---- Ed is very outstanding artist, but I already knew that the really hated all idols! He was not wrong actually, as I found some idols cringe and stupid. But after I heard the words of Yeonwoo, I feel that my mind was too biased. I never thought that being an idol is much difficult than being an actor.

---- I finally found someone that can make Ed shut up and angry. This Yeonwoo is really a savage! I don't know why I love and hated him at the same time. I hate his cruelty and ruthlessness, but I also love him for that. OMG! What to do?!

---- Yeonwoo is the only person who was brave enough to face slapped Ed by his words. Being pretty is very lucky, being hot is fortunate, but being a savage unintentionally was seriously illegal!

---- Queen Yeonwoo is the only one that can step on me and I will still be very happy. In the past, I really hated him too much that I want him to strangle to death, but right now, I want to be crashed by him.

---- As an aspiring artist myself, I was deeply touched by Yeonwoo hyung. We trained for many years just to become an outstanding idol but even though we give our best, we will only obtain our recognition once in a lifetime. Some of my showbiz friends urge me to change career and become an actor instead, but after hearing Yeonwoo hyung's words, I don't plan to give up!

---- We support you!

---- (2+)

---- (...109+)

---- Is it just me or not, but Suho and Yeonwoo felt like there are something going on between them?

---- Oh my gosh, Sister! If I didn't saw your comment, I won't definitely notice it. But right now, I feel something fishy going on.

---- Suho is an outstanding actor, but he was always casual and formal. But seeing the interactions between him and Yeonwoo...something was really going on.

The rumors and comments made a certain someone angry and furious, resulting for Yeonwoo to be abducted and forced to stayed on bed for several days.

"You absolutely don't want to acknowledge our relationship at all." said Hee-Ryang by a sulky voice.

Yeonwoo rolled his eyes and sat down from the bed. The soreness on his lower part made him flinched for a short moment. It was already morning and yet, the beast responsible for his tiredness was still not satisfied and had a surly face.

Yeonwoo chuckled helplessly and took the phone on the table. Hee-Ryang was still not willing to look at him and his bare back was the only one facing him. Yeonwoo took several picture on his backbone and immediately uploaded it.

'It's early in the morning, yet my puppy was already not in a good mood.'

His Weibo was only created a few weeks ago, and his picture was only tagged photos, but he still had a thousand of followers, and uploading a picture for a first time burst their curiosity in the highest level.

---- I am not in my mind right now. Yeonwoo...what is this?

---- Puppy?! How can a big guy be a puppy?! And look at those sexy back. Sister! Let me pet your puppy!

---- Bare back, messy hair and the same bed with Yeonwoo. No! I will not jump in the conclusion! Yeonwoo honey, who is this?

The smile on Yeonwoo's lips only deepened as he unexpectedly replied to the comment.

'Fiancée.'

---- What do you mean fiancée?! No, you are lying to us!

---- I once again witness my heart broke into pieces. Yeonwoo... I was beginning to like you, but you are already taken! Why so cruel?

---- Fiancée? As expected of our Yeonwoo, the back was already tantalizing. But we demand the face! Not just the back!

"What are you laughing at?" An angry voice again sounded beside him.

Yeonwoo rolled his eyes and put the phone on Hee-Ryang's face, "Look, I already acknowledge our relationship. Are you still angry?"

Hee-Ryang face softened a little but when his eyes drifted to the certain comment. His expression turned sullen and was blazing in anger.

"This bare back looks like Suho right? The lighting was bad, that make his skin become darker. But it's definitely Suho!"he read out loud and glared again at Yeonwoo, "You didn't even put my name!"

Yeonwoo sighed and followed his demand. He took a candid shot of Hee-Ryang's angry face and posted it again on Weibo.

'President Kwon is angry again.'

Hee-Ryang's face was very photogenic thus even though it was a stolen shot, it still looks handsome. But what made the citizen shocks was not his handsome face but his name and identity.

---- President Kwon is certainly not reading our comments, right?

---- His face...is angry. Oh no! Maybe he already read our comments and was furious right now? Spare me President! You and Yeonwoo are definitely matched, made in heaven!

---- President Kwon, be merciful! We really don't know that you are Yeonwoo's fiancée!

"Why are they scared at you?"Yeonwoo teasingly asked.

Hee-Ryang maintain his angry face and fiercely glared at Yeonwoo, "They should be. How dare them mistake me from an actor!"

"Stop getting mad. I already clarify that, right?"

Hee-Ryang only pursed his lips and look away. Yeonwoo chuckled and encircled his hands around his neck and pulled him closer.

"What can I do to make it up to you?"

As he moved, the robe that covered his body slightly loosen and revealed a white chest with several marks that was left yesterday. His face was still hazy as he only woke up. Hee-Ryang's eyes darkened.

Understanding, his lustful eyes his fiancée emitted. Yeonwoo smirked and pulled his face closer to him.

What can he do?

It seems that the only way to coax his puppy was to use his body.
