At first, I thought it was some insane idea he'd planted in my head. But.
‘I should stop sending the Child Spirit.’
To feel this kind of empathy for someone whose name and face I didn’t even know.
‘He must have shrunk back under that bully’s intimidation...’
The answer was predetermined, and Woo Do-gyeom clearly just wanted confirmation.
How boldly could an ordinary person speak up in front of someone like Woo Do-gyeom?
“The doctor said that much, so it must be true, right? They wouldn’t say it for no reason.”
“No. They were probably forced to say it.”
“Still.”
“No.”
Woo Do-gyeom’s mouth finally shut at the firm response, ending his nonsense.
“Anyway, you’ll take responsibility and handle this properly?”
There was no reply, but I wasn’t particularly worried.
My intuition was already telling me it would turn out that way.

[Our Yeonwoo Conquers Airport Story + Fresh GIFs!]
-Hi! I’m a newbie who became a fan by chance at the airport. Nice to meet you!
My friend said I should post here, so I did lol. Newbies have to bring fresh GIFs as courtesy, right?
Here’s some fresh ones I made. (Photo of Yeonwoo coming out of arrivals)
Just a plain shirt and slacks, but his face makes it fashion... He looks a bit worn out, but even that seems intentional??
But that’s not the point. That’s why I’m here; it’s connected to this GIF.
How I became a Yeonwoo fan: I was waiting for my friend returning from abroad and spotted him by chance.
That day, the airport was swarming with reporters like crazy??
This tall guy comes out, and suddenly they swarm him, bombarding him with questions;;
I thought some serious criminal had come in guilty as charged or something;;;
Total chaos.
But I overheard the reporters’ questions, realized it wasn’t that, and switched gears quick.
Those trash reporters;; Their questions were so low-class.
They even asked humiliating stuff to Yeon Do-heeㅠ
Then some huge security guy? This massive dude came to rescue them?
That led to a scuffle, and they kept filming it;;
But someone shut it all down in an instant...?
Who could it be...?
Of course, our Yeonwoo^^...!
I thought he had superpowers or something.
He spoke so calmly, and weirdly, the reporters just listened quietly?
Like they were under mass hypnosis;;
And the way he subtly roasted them so elegantly? I was applauding seals in my head while listening.
Even I, just watching, was furious enough to become a fan. How does he stay so composed? I was shocked.
(Unsolicited TMI no one asked for: My ideal type is a gentle, soft-spoken, intellectual, and neat guy)
Looked it up, and he’s a rookie who debuted less than a year ago? For real?
OMG, how is he so calm??
That’s exactly why I like him^^777
Dropping the rest of the GIFs and running off @>-----
(Comments)
-Wow, smells like fresh new GIFs
-Thank you, op-nim……^^……Thanks to you……I got my morning eye candy~~……^^
ㄴThanks for the GIFs, op-nim……^^
ㄴSeeing these new GIFs……makes all my……ills……go away……^^
-This is that trash reporters being trashㅠㅠㅠ
Our Yeonwoo shines here tooㅠㅠ
ㄴHuh?? What happened??? I only heard he came back safely
ㄴIt was a rumor that spread quietly, then articles exploded and vanished, so some people don’t know.
ㄴYeah, it disappeared like they evaporated in an instantㅇㅇ
ㄴWhat what???
ㄴOK, explaining below
-While our Yeonwoo was filming, the whole crew got stranded due to weather, and there were stock market rumors they might die?
It spread a ton apparently.
So reporters swarmed the crew on arrival asking why they didn’t die and came back alive.
ㄴWTF insane;;
ㄴYeah I saw it tooㅇㅇ Articles popped up, hit real-time search.
Content was messed up. Didn’t you want to die? No hope of rescue, how’d you survive? What’d you eat? Drink? No food so what’d you eat—tons of grotesque articles.
ㄴI saw tooㅠ Thought articles hit search then suddenly gone, thought I hallucinatedㅠ
ㄴAh…… so that’s what that was. I heard whispers but couldn’t find anything no matter how I searched.
ㄴThen other articles came out after. Big ordeal but no injuries, safely back.
ㄴThat health check reveal article? Makes sense now……
I thought oh big deal and moved on, didn’t know the shady backstoryㅠㅠ

“This feels like perfect timing now.”
“You think? Won’t it backfire? Sigh. Our director’s been so sorry to Yeonwoo he hasn’t slept properly for days.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to one spot.
A big, bear-like man sat there exhausted, looking utterly drained.
Dark circles hung down to his jaw, like his soul had been sucked out.
“At least the investor handled it well. Otherwise, we’d still be suffering weird rumors. Whew. Public opinion flipped—such a relief.”
Fans of Yeonwoo and the other actors played a huge role too.
[(Screenshot) Guys what’s this article? Total BS right?]
[Trash reporters at it again. Don’t boost their views]
[Now playing with people’s lives? Crazy? Kim XX
“Fans worked hard too. Otherwise, the opinion would’ve stuck ages ago.”
“Yeah, even blocking articles looks suspicious these days. Everyone’s got suspicion syndrome…… Article down? ‘Agency paid to bury it.’ ‘Hiding the truth on purpose’—eyes wide open.”
“Come to think of it, we’re truly blessed, right? Already loved this much.”
Even with Woo Do-gyeom jumping in fast to block media.
In that short time, people had seen the vicious fake rumors reporters cooked up.
Sensational stories spread mouth-to-mouth quick.
Can’t unsee what’s seen, block articles or not.
Truth doesn’t matter. Others’ misfortune is just comedy from a step away.
A horrific rumor that nearly got consumed negatively.
But fans’ reactions stopped it cold.
-Yeon Do-hee spent the night with male staff?
ㄴYour brain’s udon noodles instead of matter???
How do you read stranded as THAT?
ㄴBoomer, live in society much?
ㄴYou see what you wanna see…… gross.
ㄴDumbasses rush in excited without fact-checking whenever crap like this pops.
-Wish I’d known, would’ve shorted stocks of film co, investors, agency. Made bank ㅅ1ㅂ Missed out.
ㄴYour breathing air is a waste.
ㄴThis is why you can’t let trash reporters spread trash? Dumbasses latch on and rage;;
ㄴWhy short lololol Stocks ain’t dropping lololol
Seriously insane, trash articles make idiots spew BS—beating it down every time naturally quiets reactions.
“Seriously…… if our movie does well, shouldn’t we make fan promises huge? All thanks to fans……”
“I was worried about worst-case too, but this time I was truly moved. Really glad we got Yeonwoo and……”
“Our actors are all so diligent, sharp, upright—lucky. Duh.”
“Oh, investor’s quick moves helped too. Right? Everyone?”
“Yeah! They sealed it perfectly from both sides!”
Staff didn’t forget praising Woo Do-gyeom’s swift action again.
One slip, and the movie could’ve tanked pre-release despite surviving disaster.
Of course.
‘...If they knew who started it, they wouldn’t say that.’
Sigh.
A deep sigh escaped from my chest.
Knowing all the hidden truth, I just felt stifled.
Not at the staff, obviously.
‘Woo Do-gyeom spreads it, Woo Do-gyeom cleans it up—why’s he getting praise?’
I’d feel better if they bashed him.
But sadly, staff didn’t know the truth, and never would—making me pity them.
‘Can’t tell them myself either.’
I looked at Ji Director, dark circles down to his jaw.
‘No need to break his spirit more here……’
Looks like a bandit or bear, but inside? Fragile as glass.
Extremely delicate, even.
‘Yeah, best take this secret to the grave……’
Problem was Woo Do-gyeom’s intent wasn’t bad.
If he’d done it to screw us, I’d retaliate with everything.
But hilariously, it was “for Yeonwoo”—made getting mad awkward.
And that guy?
-So. What punishment will you give me, Yeonwoo-kun?
Scraping at my nerves like that—damn.
“Sigh……”
Another heavy sigh burst out.
A voice beside me caught it.
“You okay? Should we end the meeting here for today?”
“Ah. No. Just spaced out. Why stop the meeting suddenly? Isn’t that why we’re here?”
You came here yourself for that, right?
I eyed the man next to me suspiciously.
The man, Kwon Seonghyeon, smiled casually.
“You come first, Yeonwoo-ssi.”
“……Got it, so let’s continue the meeting.”
“If that’s what you want.”
The softly smiling man clapped lightly.
The chattering staff turned to Kwon Seonghyeon.
“As you know, public opinion’s favorable. As reporters’ image tanks, we gain more. Thanks to public support, we’re seen even more as victims.”
“Definitely…… Kwon Seonghyeon-ssi’s right. That’s how it looked to us too……”
Kwon Seonghyeon smiled.
“See?”
I watched the staff’s expressions go blank in real time.
‘Whoa……. Does this guy have hypnosis stats or something?’
Why Kwon Seonghyeon was here.
He’d come as my agency’s representative.
-Protecting agency talents is a given, Yeonwoo-ssi.
No idea how that guy bent my will…… but he always goes extreme, so it won’t end clean quick.
So company steps in for cleanup—that was Kwon Seonghyeon’s stance.
-Heading to production soon to discuss this.
-Discuss?
