"I'm sorry, who the hell are you?" Kwang Min asked. "Wait!! Are you paparazzi?"
"Noooo! I'm already at a tough spot right now. Now I might lose my job!! I can't believe this is happening to me. . . Is there anyone who can rewrite what's happening now. Please. . . . I have a family to take care of!!"
Lee Kwang Min, Kang Dae's dear manager cried and leaned on to table as Kim Man Soo too was about start his prayers Ki Rin patted their backs. "You both are really such cowards! I'm someone J-Son knows", she sighed, "I am no paparazzi, I am a fan of both your idols". She put on a proud face as she said that.
"So you really won't write about what we were speaking, right?"
"What- No, why will I? I'm just a fan. . . Mr?"
Manager Lee rubbed the fruit of tears of his overthinking, "I'm Lee Kwang Min", then he whispered "Kang Dae's manager."
"And I'm-", Kim Man Soo's words were cut off. "Stop. I know who you are", Heo Ki Rin said. "Now I can solve your problem and put both of them on the same boat", she had an evil grin of that of a fujoishi making up scenarios.
"Same boat?", both the managers repeated her words imagining them on an actual boat.
---------------------------------
"Hyung, Why are you dragging me here", J-Son was picked up from his dance practice, "I'm so tired why are you taking me out when there's nothing on the schedule".
"I ain't speaking with a trouble maker today. Now let's get in!", he pushed J-Son inside.
Kim In Sik turned around to see pissed off Kang Dae with his hands crossed standing beside his manager. " What? Why's he here?", In Sik turned around "Oh, are we here to get it done with, with a FIST fight!? Oh that's so excitin-"
"SHUT UP!", Kim Man Soo shouted.
Kang dae said in a low tone, "It would be better if it was a fist fight, I would get my revenge then!"
"Hahh? What I didn't hear you??"
A finger snap was heard from the room, as the person in the chair turned "You both stop! I'm here to teach you a lesson."
"Ki Rin! What are you doing here? When did you get to know him?!", J-Son asked, " Don't get close to him, he's going to back stab you too!".
"You", Kang Dae pointed towards J-Son and but took his hand back on a seconds after and looked at Heo Ki Rin, "Whoever you are, better stay away from this mad DOG! He's gonna bite you!!". He pointed at his ear this time.
Both their managers looked down disappointed. Ki Rin Sighed, "You both stop. I'm here to your stop your bickering and free your managers".
"Call me Match-maker!".
"Huh??", all four of them said in unison. Heo Ki Rin smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, I meant Friendship maker". For a sec there Ki Rin wanted to get them married and had forgotten about Park Han Jun's existence.
"First let's go to karaoke! Come on Mr. Kim and Mr. Lee grab your idols and let's gO!"
"Grab? What are we objects?", Kang Dae asked.
"That's what, Kang Dae!".
For a brief second there, both were on the same boat. Guess whatever Ki Rin has planned for them will work out this time, to bring them together.
---------------------------------
"So the whole thing was a draw?", Han Jun asked.
Kim Man Soo as usual was eating some rice crackers after the whole ordeal as he replied, "Yes, it was". After a long day of match, they were back at the apartment and J-Son looked detached from reality.
Man Soo was back to eating his snacks making loud noises. He explained everything Heo Ki Rin made them do starting with filling a form she got to a Karaoke contest to another form that she herself created.
Here's a little secret, Ki Rin's first form that Kang Dae and J-Son had to fill was a couple's counselling form with a little changes to have them let their stuck feelings out. Since none of the four have had relationship issues, no one noticed what it actually was from.
Ki Rin in fact had too much fun, and used it as a means to get some shipping material only for her to see. She asked Kang Dae and J-Son to for a arm-wrestling match so she can get photos of them staring it each other aggressively. The managers thought she was taking a video so none of them would cheat (she lied). She then had them sing their heart out in a karaoke session to see who gets the highest points among them for a total of five songs wins the round. It was again. . . A lie so she could get most of the special aggressive private concert she got of two solo top-ranked idols. As she saw them singing their heart out while the other was insulting in a low voice, she thanked all the beings in heaven for making J-Son catch her red-handed when she stalked him like a paparazzi.
To top it all off and this time not for shipping purpose or a private concert, she had created a questionnaire of both their journey as artists, their album releases, and some of their personal details.
"Turns out they both know each other so well, especially Kang Dae. They could even be considered FANS of each other!!".
Kim In Sik was sitting on the sofa zoned out thinking of all the things that happened. "Hyung! Stop being so excited. . . ", In Sik said in a low voice. Which was weird for Han Jun, he looked towards In Sik and was about to ask what he was feeling.
"I am telling the truth! I've been saying from the first he's not a bad person. It's just that he had bad circumstances which you were adding fuel to. But he knows everything you have been through more than anyone else", Man Soo looked at In Sik.
"Why wouldn't he know? Remember he had sent someone to stalk me before", J-Son smiled.
"Now, Now look at you smiling. Otherwise you were thrashing him for that!".
"So what made you change your mind about him?", Han Jun asked.
Man Soo smiled, "Now why wouldn't he change his mind? They had so much fun today. I thought I was seeing two middle school students playing around".
"Playing? I thought this was just a co-competition of who's better!"
"Looks like what Heo Ki Rin Lady did work!You can't even say that it was competition, do you?"
"Hyung!!!! I'm going to smack the crackers out of your hand and the brain out of your skull", J-Son ran towards Kim Man Soo blushing with anger.
Man Soo patted Han Jun as he said, " You know Han Jun, Kang Dae scored 48 out of 50 in the J-Son quiz! He might as well be his lover from past life, right In Sik-ahh?". As J-Son reached him, he was out the door laughing like a maniac to his face until J-Son threw a pillow at him.
Han Jun was smiling at their goofiness, but inside his mind the word 'Lover' was ringing.
"Really like a lover from past life?", he asked as he smiled with a hint of sadness.
Kim In Sik stood there like a statue, "Ha Ha- Nothing like that", then like a broken machine he went back to his room and closed the door as he said, "You know Hyung just makes weird jokes- Ha. . .ha".
In Sik forgot about the pillow he threw and poor Han Jun had to pick up and put it back in it's place.
Meanwhile Kang Dae was as pissed as J-Son was but the main reason was that he had scored 48 on quiz about J-Son while J-Son had scored just 45 out of 50 on his quiz.
