Chapter 34: Distortion and Discomfort

Once upon a time, there was a question like this.

Q: Love vs.

Friendship, if you had to choose one?

Jemin answered, “It’s love.

The very ones I love…

our members!

My beloved Eternity!

I am always thankful and grateful to you!”

Eunhan glanced at the fans and said, “Of course it’s friendship.”

Yunbin replied, “Whichever side I choose, I don’t think the emotion chosen by abandoning the other would be happy.”

‘Both…’

‘Wait a minute, James-hyung!

Choosing both doesn’t fit our country’s sentiment.’

‘I meant that I’d give up both?’

‘Ah, really?’

Yunbin and James were putting on an unscripted skit.

Even though everyone laughed it off, Jemin was the only one who remained tense.

It was because one last bomb remained.

‘Um, as for me…’

It would have been better if he hadn’t been serious, but seeing him ponder deeply before speaking made the anxiety amplify even more.

Making a wrong statement after thinking so much was far more dangerous than speaking without thinking.

Inside, Jemin was filled with suspense, wondering if Woohyung would choose love and mention a real name he had never heard before in his life.

‘Friendship.’

Well.

He said he had never liked anyone before, so choosing friendship was only natural.

Jemin secretly let out a sigh of relief.

However, Woohyung continued to speak when he should have just stopped there.

‘Personally, I don’t really believe in love that much.’

Woohyung was the type to say “Thank you” rather than “I love you” even to fans.

Words like that didn’t seem likely to bring about a positive reaction.

‘Because I don’t want to be played around by the mischief of hormones that interfere with logical and reasonable judgment.’

Anyone who knew Woohyung thought like that would have remembered a line from an anime.

[I pity you for not knowing how cool love is!]

Come to think of it, Woohyung didn’t sing about love even when writing songs.

The desire for success, the strength to push through hardships and adversity, the light that brightens the world, the justice that fights against wrongdoing, and so on; rather, the messages Woohyung pursued were different from other idol groups.

The prevailing opinion was that a high-quality song with a proper message was much better than a tacky love song, but reviews saying they were curious about a love song sung by 4ever were not uncommon either.

Woohyung had the intention to write such a genre, too.

It was just that it didn’t come out well because he couldn’t relate to it.

‘Love might come to you at any moment, Woohyung-ssi~’

At the interviewer’s words, Woohyung gave a empty laugh and answered.

‘I am not that easy of a man.’

Just like that, the self-proclaimed ‘Not Easy Boy’ Jung Woohyung’s five-star difficulty level was on the verge of being slashed down to a tutorial level.

What are our Nities doing?

We are working right now!

#Byzantium #PictorialShoot #4ever #Eternity

To soothe fans worried about the pictorial shoot news, Jemin released spoiler photos from the shooting set.

Expecting bizarre art to be displayed, fans went wild with joy over the members wearing quite decent suits.

Gwak Soonbae @jjangssaennamed

Who called it f*cking Byzantium?

Get sued, all of you.

I love God-zantium.

Capitalism is great…

Showing off Jung Woohyung’s chest, which I thought I’d never see in my life.

? Do you think Jung Woohyung would actually search his name?

Having finished the shoot safely, they moved to the car for their next schedule.

While removing his makeup and changing clothes, Jemin noticed that Woohyung was subtly avoiding him.

Since the responsibility was entirely on Jemin, he didn’t bring that point up.

“Everyone move back please.

Don’t push.”

Even though the location of the shoot hadn’t been announced, a few fans gathered.

As their popularity grew, many fans even followed them to private schedules.

It seemed they stubbornly analyzed the photos Jemin spoiled earlier to find out which studio it was.

“Ah, you f*cking bastard.

Don’t f*cking push, do you want to die?

Oh, Jemin-ah!

Our Jemin, was it hard?

You worked so hard!

Get plenty of rest!

I love you!”

Because it could lead to an accident, everything was cautious.

Previously, he had even heard from his manager to refrain from giving fan service on the way to and from non-official schedules because traffic accidents could happen.

Poem @allfansoonduck

Those bastards, even though Jemin spoke nicely, they don’t listen and act like that, it’s really disgusting…

It’s infuriating, but don’t bring videos here.

Don’t consume them.

Fearing that suddenly cutting off fan service like that would lead to rumors that he changed after gaining fame, Jemin had once written and posted a long message.

For a moment, he thought those kinds of fans had decreased, but unable to forget the sweet taste of seeing him up close, they had returned again.

“Fans, please step back.

We are not taking gifts.”

It was the moment he was about to get into the car while listening to his manager shout at the top of his lungs.

Due to Q2P’s poor support, the manager doubled as a security guard, but the wall his arms were making broke down.

Jemin, who had lowered his guard right before getting into the car, stumbled after being pushed by the crowd.

‘If I fall here, won’t I be crushed to death just like this?’

Jemin exerted his survival instinct.

Meaning, he flailed randomly right before falling.

He had to grab onto anything.

“Don’t push!

Heol, Jemin-ah!

Are you okay?”

“Did Jung Woohyung get hurt?

No way, crazy.”

Of all things, the one he grabbed happened to be Jung Woohyung again.

It would have been better if he had grabbed his collar instead; right in the middle of all those people, Jemin ended up giving Woohyung a back hug.

“Jemin-ah, are you okay?

Ha, don’t push!”

As Jemin stumbled, Jemin’s fans screamed out of worry.

In the chaotic situation, Woohyung recognized it without even turning around.

That the person hugging him was not a fan, but Jemin.

Reflexively, Woohyung pulled away Jemin’s arms that were wrapped around him.

“What’s that, why is Jung Woohyung reacting like that?”

Murmurs broke out among the fans.

Woohyung turned around and made eye contact with Jemin.

He could see Woohyung’s pupils shaking.

Without saying anything, he let go of Jemin’s hand.

“Get in quickly.”

At the words Woohyung blurted out while even avoiding his eyes, Jemin stared at Woohyung blankly.

‘Is this guy misunderstanding that I hugged him on purpose right now?’

Jemin was beyond flustered and found it absurd, but he soon controlled his expression and got into the car.

Because the fans were watching, he couldn’t drag out time or show that he disliked it.

The car door closed, and Jemin looked at Woohyung sitting next to him.

‘Wow, this bastard is pretending to sleep.’

As soon as he got into the car and put on his seatbelt, he crossed his arms and closed his eyes; this was non-verbal behavior signifying he didn’t want to talk.

It was infuriating to pass by like this without even getting a chance to explain.

‘Could it be that he keeps avoiding me because he thinks I did that yesterday because I like him?’

Thinking that way, even Jung Woohyung’s strange behavior today clicked into place.

Although he hadn’t treated him warmly usually, he had never ignored him to the point of acting like he couldn’t stand the sight of him like this.

His stance used to be ‘whatever, do as you like,’ but it wasn’t to the degree of ‘I don’t even want to brush past you.’

‘To explain, I have to tell him that I remember everything from yesterday!’

While Jemin was tearing his hair out in a dilemma, Woohyung sitting next to him was flustered in his own way.

Although his eyes were closed, his heart was loud and complicated.

‘What was that earlier.’

Perhaps because he had his arms crossed, the sound of his beating heart felt even more stark.

If he hadn’t quickly pulled away Jemin who suddenly hugged him, he might have been swallowed up by an alien lifeform as it was.

It felt like a part of his body had already been occupied.

To the extent of thinking that, Woohyung didn’t feel like himself, Jung Woohyung.

「Crazy, did you see this?

http://tw…/link」 4:02 PM

Meanwhile, in the group chat room where a small elite group of Jemin’s malicious solo fans gathered, video links of Woohyung shaking off Jemin’s hand were uploaded rapidly by the second.

「Why is that f*cking bastard pushing our Jemin around?」 4:02 PM

「Come to think of it, hasn’t Jung Woohyung been ignoring Yoo Jemin like crazy all this time?」 4:02 PM

「Shouldn’t we get that bastard buried?

It pisses me off so much」 4:02 PM

「f*cking Woohyung, disgusting」 4:02 PM

Videos made to look like he shook his hand off maliciously by speeding up the playback rate beyond reality were spread in the chat room as well.

Words going beyond simple insults were poured at Woohyung.

「Gather Jung Woohyung’s scandals, write a post on a community, and spread the link, yeah」 4:03 PM

「Right, I’ll support with firepower」 4:03 PM

Following Jung Woohyung’s fan-hatred, exposing his member-hatred.

First of all, Jung Woohyung’s fan-hatred that we know of:

  1. Fan sign fan-hatred

  2. V Live fan-hatred

  3. From messages that don’t come even after 2 weeks

Up to here is probably what we all know.

Honestly, I think just this alone makes him unqualified as an idol, but today he broke a new record.

#JungWoohyungMemberHatred #JungWoohyungMemberHate #JungWoohyungMemberExclusion #JungWoohyungMemberDiscrimination

  1. Today on the way to/from work, Yoo Jemin almost fell so he grabbed him, but he shook off his hand.

Wow… his personality is completely trashed.

Look at him shoving him into the car without even asking if he’s okay.

It’s chilling how he glares, too.

Can you see him staring intently?

Is making songs well, dancing well, and singing well everything?

If so, instead of being an idol, he should just be a composer, a dancer, or a solo singer.

Anyway, even if we assume Jung Woohyung’s fandom won’t take a hit because they’ve seen all that, shouldn’t he not act like this toward his own group member?

  • Addition

The more you dig, the worse it gets, lol.

An incomprehensible social media post uploaded during early debut days:

[I walk my own path]

I predict this was either directed at fans or a power struggle with Yoo Jemin.

++ Another addition

In the behind-the-scenes during early debut days, when James called them the Woohyung-Jemin brothers, he glared saying, “I don’t have a younger brother like this.”

Evidence GIF attached.

+++ I really hope this is the last addition, lol.

When Yoo Jemin told fans, “I miss you~”, Jung Woohyung pretended to throw up outside the camera frame.

(Best Comment)

  • I hope Yoo Jemin doesn’t get hurt…

I’ve really stanned K-pop for 1n years, and there’s no one who treats fans as well as he does; but to hate him?

That means there’s a problem with their personality.

To the point where they could abolish personality tests and replace them with “Do you like Yoo Jemin?”…

Leaving a comment just in case someone thinks Yoo Jemin is also in the wrong after reading only this post.

  • Honestly, if Jung Woohyung leaves, will 4ever fall apart?

Looking at the long run, it’s a hundred times better to drop a guy like that and keep going.

| Recommendations 845 Disrecommendations 986

└ According to your logic, why wouldn’t it fall apart when a guy who makes songs well, dances well, and sings well leaves?

No matter how much you throw a fit, to the general public, 4ever = Jung Woohyung’s group.

(Pros and Cons Comment)

  • Aren’t those two roommates?

Common-sensically, if their relationship is that bad, would they intentionally want to be roommates?

lol.

And look at how you left out the part where they picked each other as their closest member, lol.

The only younger member who dropped formal speech with Yoo Jemin is Jung Woohyung, lol.

| Recommendations 754 Disrecommendations 543

└ How do you know if that’s also just Jung Woohyung unilaterally dropping formal speech?

(Pros and Cons Comment)

  • Seeing stuff like this, it seems personality and group chemistry are really important for idols too.

It’s not for nothing that PPP maintains top rank.
