Becoming An Idol Wasn’T On My Plan [EN]: Chapter 358

When I arrived at the banquet hall with my teacher, Bongju was a little surprised.

I sometimes accompany my professor to places like banquet halls (it’s because of the professor’s favor, though Bongju doesn’t know that), and this place seemed just as extravagant.

“…Ha, what does he do with his money?”

My teacher clicked his tongue briefly, as if he hadn’t expected this either. He moved inside without saying much, gently holding Bongju’s shoulder and leading him in.

“Lee-Deun, grab Donghwa!”

At that moment, Lee-Deun’s sharp command burst out.

Ji Donghwa turned around immediately, as if he had been expecting it, but Seokjun was already behind him, arms wide open and smiling contentedly.

“Those bastards, what are they planning again?”

As if used to it, Ji Donghwa gave up and obediently let Chae Hamin and Lee Hyunjae, who rushed in from both sides, grab his arms.

Following behind, Lee-Deun lifted Ji Donghwa’s feet, and he was hoisted into the air.

“…Teacher?”

Bongju muttered blankly, and Ji Donghwa smiled as if to say it was okay. However, it was a strained smile, as he was being carried in the air and could only turn his head slightly.

What is this, like watching an elder waving his hand saying it’s okay while his soul is being dragged away…

A requiem automatically played in my head. Bongju flinched and slowly reached out, wondering if he should stop them, but Seokjun, who had approached unnoticed, grabbed his shoulder and stopped him.

“Hyung, Joonie…….”

“Bongju, Donghwa hyung is going to a good place.”

Don’t say that, Hyung. It sounds like someone is really dying.

“A good place, you say?”

“Yeah, over there.”

Seokjun pointed to a beautifully decorated chair. I don’t know much about it, but it was a luxurious chair that seemed like it would be used in a royal palace.

Donghwa teacher would never sit in a place like that voluntarily, and even if he was forced to sit, he would get up quickly.

Even though he realized the reason for the abduction, Bongju was still puzzled. How on earth are they going to keep him sitting there?

Even though he realized that resistance was meaningless, Ji Donghwa shuddered as soon as he saw the chair and opened his mouth.

“There is no custom in Korea to express gratitude in this way, at least.”

“In a capitalist society, money is the best expression of gratitude!”

However, Lee-Deun didn’t care about that and sat Ji Donghwa down.

Chae Hamin stepped forward and pressed down on both shoulders, holding Ji Donghwa, who was about to get up immediately.

Clang, clang, the sound of metal clashing rang out a few times.

“Don’t make me curse in front of Bongju.”

“I knew you’d say that, so I tried harder to bring him along.”

Ji Donghwa sighed deeply and smiled at Bongju, who was looking at him anxiously while talking to Seokjun.

I can deal with these crazy guys later, but the kid who took the time to come should only have pleasant memories.

“All done!”

At Lee-Deun’s words, Ji Donghwa briefly looked around at what his body looked like. He saw restraints locked with padlocks on his waist and ankles.

These crazy bastards…….

Suppressing the curse that was about to come out, he took another deep breath.

“How do I eat?”

It’s a gratitude event, right? You’re not going to tie me up and eat all by yourselves as a way of repaying your kindness.

“This is, something I custom-ordered…….”

Without saying much, Chae Hamin moved his hand from behind. Then, the chair began to slide smoothly.

“It’s like a wheelchair, sort of. I’ll move you wherever you want to go today!”

“You custom-ordered something like this.”

“Yeah. It took a while because it was shipped from overseas.”

……Really, I don’t want to say this, but go to the hospital, please. What kind of crazy person deprives someone of their physical freedom as a sign of gratitude.

Ji Donghwa managed to hide his blatant annoyance. As soon as he saw Chae Hamin’s eyes, he predicted that it wouldn’t be a heartwarming meal where he could feed Bongju delicious food, but it was more serious than he had imagined.

“So, what is this?”

Ji Donghwa sat in the dazzling chair, tilted his head, and asked. It was a gesture to quickly get an explanation. It suited him so well that he looked like a real aristocrat.

Chae Hamin praised his aesthetic sense. He wondered what color and jewel would suit Donghwa better while designing it himself. He clapped his hands and replied.

“My father said that the position makes the person.”

The position doesn’t refer to a physical chair, you idiot.

And what kind of person does Chae Hamin want to make me that he prepared this kind of position?

A position where your waist and legs are tied up, I understand that you don’t want to allow human rights.

When Chae Hamin put strength into his hand, the chair moved forward smoothly and stably.

The term ‘ride comfort’ may not be appropriate, but anyway, it wasn’t bad to ride in.

Reaching in front of Bongju, who was standing there looking at him like a strange thing, Ji Donghwa washed away all emotions, accepted the situation, and opened his mouth.

“That’s how it is, Bongju.”

Can you understand? If you leave these guys alone, they sometimes do strange things.

Bongju nodded his head a few times with trembling, wavering pupils. His eyes darted around as if contemplating what he could say.

“Oh, um, …that’s how it is. ……Pfft.”

The combination of words he finally found came out as if imitating his teacher, but he couldn’t hold back the laughter that was boiling inside and made a strange sound, ‘Pfft.’

Then, surprised by his own rudeness, he tapped his mouth, but even after that, he had no choice but to bite his lip to hold back his laughter.

A heartwarming scene, Lee-Deun smiled brightly and approached Ji Donghwa’s side, whispering. If the range of permission increases like this in front of Bongju, then he also has a gift prepared!

“Ah, that’s right. I even made a crown just in case…….”

He still remembered it. The ‘Crown of Madness No. 1’ that Ji Donghwa made for him.

Even after that, Ji Donghwa and Lee-Deun took turns winning in several surveys and both wore the crown, but Lee-Deun didn’t want to admit that fact.

If only he could put the crown that he made, the one that Wizney [parody of Disney] princesses would wear, on Ji Donghwa today……!

“Stop.”

However, that hope disappeared as if shattered by Ji Donghwa’s short answer. And then, Ji Donghwa put his index finger on the back of Lee-Deun’s hand and tapped out Morse code as if it were natural.

‘S, h, u, t, u…….’

Shut up, with just those two words, it became clear that he would overturn everything, whether it was in front of Bongju or not, if he touched him any further, so Lee-Deun placed the crown on Chae Hamin’s head.

“…You wear it.”

“Huh? What, why are you giving me a gift? Today is Donghwa’s Thanksgiving!”

Then, Chae Hamin put the crown on his head directly onto Ji Donghwa’s head. Lee Hyunjae, who had been waiting for this moment, took out his cell phone and took a picture, leaving evidence before Ji Donghwa took off the crown.

Everything happened in a short time, as if planned, like flowing water.

‘……Huh?’

Lee-Deun momentarily stepped back.

It was almost due to animalistic senses that Ji Donghwa, who seemed unable to contain his anger, tried to grab Lee-Deun’s collar with a brick cushion [small, firm cushion often used for lumbar support] in one hand, but futilely cut through the air.

He soon grasped the situation and immediately took three steps back.

It’s unfair. Of course, it’s not that unpleasant that Ji Donghwa thinks highly of him, but it’s still unfair. He didn’t even make this plan!

“Lee-Deun.”

“Donghwa hyung! This is really unfair!”

Ji Donghwa didn’t listen. There was no reason to listen carefully to Lee-Deun’s words unless they were about work.

“Hamin.”

“Yeah.”

“Go get him.”

“Okay. I don’t know if I can catch him, but I’ll try my best!”

Bongju watched the thirty-something men engage in a chase with an absurd look.

Is this……, the darkness of celebrities? Besides, the teacher is sitting elegantly with a brick in one hand……. What on earth is this place.

The teacher and his friends that I occasionally saw were all cool adults.

Even now, the teacher, who quietly warns him to shut up because he doesn’t like noise, is a very cool adult, but not with that appearance.

“Bongju, look at this.”

Lee Hyunjae approached Bongju, who was like that, as if it was fun, and handed him his cell phone. Inside was the teacher, who had a gentle smile but a murderous look in his eyes, restrained in a beautiful chair and wearing a princess tiara.

What is this, really.

The laughter that came out involuntarily gradually turned into laughter that couldn’t be suppressed. However, Bongju, who hates making a fuss, covered his mouth and suppressed his laughter.

“Just laugh out loud, don’t hold back. It’s not good for your body.”

“Keuh-heum, n-no, heu-eup, no.”

He’s having such a hard time just spitting out those three words ‘no,’ so he must be quite the madman, Lee Hyunjae understood inwardly.

Well, how could he not be strange when Donghwa hyung taught him.

“I have to send this to Chunhee noona [older sister or female friend]…….”

Lee Hyunjae tapped on his cell phone as if the scene was so peaceful. And then, he took out a strawberry milk, a strawberry milk that didn’t go well with the shrimp appetizer, and handed it to Bongju.

“Do you want to drink it?”

“Ah, keu-heum, heum, thank you.”

“Other people will be coming soon? If you feel awkward, come to me. Donghwa hyung is the party’s main character, so he’ll be busy.”

“Are more people coming?”

“Yeah. You’re not interested in celebrities, but Donghwa hyung’s younger sibling is coming.”

“Ah, I’ve met that person once.”

“That’s a relief.”

Lee Hyunjae slowly told him who was coming, but he realized it was a futile effort.

Anyway, Bongju doesn’t know any celebrities, right? Then it would be more practical to just write a list of people to watch out for.

“And then there’s someone named Yaeon hyung? Be careful.”

“Oh…, is he strict or something?”

Bongju listened carefully to those words and asked back. It was because of a reasonable suspicion that someone to be careful of couldn’t be close to Donghwa teacher.

“No, he has the strangest personality. You never know where he’ll bounce.”

And then.

“Me?”

Yaeon’s gentle voice rang out. As someone whose first impression is more influenced by voice than face, Bongju’s favorability rating rose rapidly.

“Am I like that, Hyunjae?”

Lee Hyunjae stiffly turned his head like an unlubricated machine. There was Yaeon, wearing glasses because his eyesight had deteriorated and smiling leisurely, still well-maintained enough to look cute to someone even after time had passed.

Right above his shoulder.

“I’m really hurt, Hyunjae!”
Yaeon took off his glasses, flicked tears from his fingertips, and then smiled.

That person really cried.

Bongju, who saw Yaeon for the first time, was flustered without even knowing it was acting.

This is, backstabbing. Is that why.

He quickly turned his head. Then, he looked at Bongju for a moment and nodded his head with narrowed eyes.

“So, you’re the master’s favorite disciple.”

…Master?

“If you have a butler, you should entrust him with disciple education, but aren’t you really upset? Right, Mr. Bongju.”

He shook his head, holding his forehead like a pitiful person. Bongju didn’t know how to treat Yaeon and hesitated.

“I wanted to get closer to Mr. Bongju, but the master stopped me! Really, even if I entrusted all my freedom to him, this is…….”

Hmm, he seems like a strange person.

Only then did Bongju grasp the truth and turned to Lee Hyunjae for help. However, Lee Hyunjae had already avoided the spot and was drinking strawberry milk.

And there was someone who gave up trying to catch Lee-Deun to save Bongju.

“What are you doing, hyung.”

It was Ji Donghwa, tied to a chair, frowning and cursing with his eyes as if telling him to get away quickly.

……Tied to a chair.

As soon as Yaeon confirmed who was deprived of freedom, he burst into laughter.

“What, no, the voice is so majestic, but why is he in that shape!”

The pitiful and delicate atmosphere from before was gone, and only the eyes of a madman remained.

“Who is it? Who thought of this brilliant thing! Come out right now, I’ll give you a free pass to my cafe! Wow, the chair suits my junior so well, the position makes the person!”

Then, he stood at a distance where Ji Donghwa’s hand couldn’t reach and began to mock him. Like someone who lives for that.
