Kwon Jin chuckled, "I envy you. My father would disown for a relationship like that."

"Well, my dad has never been a fan of things conventional, so I guess I'm lucky," Kyung Gi said as he posed his phone on the counter. "She's perfect; I've been thinking about proposing to her. I think she's the one."

Their conversation went on as naturally as possible. Kyung Gi scolded himself for being suspicious as he left Kwon Jin, who stayed at La Scala, saying he had a meeting.

It was when he got in his car Kyung Gi realized he forgot his phone on the scala's bar counter. He made a U-turn, and there he saw the same car as in the morning pulling up at La Scala. Kyung Gi waited to see who would step out of it; his eyes widened as he saw it was Kwon Jin's French friend Marc.

Kyung Gi wondered why Kwon Jin's friend would have dropped off Song Gi that morning. He went back inside, taking his phone Kwon Jin and Marc weren't there.

Kyung Gi left.

The following days were just as hectic as the first, but Kyung Gi managed to put some order. Yet there were two profiles amongst the artist which preoccupied him.

First, the was Song Hi; the idol seemed to have become a compulsive liar. Kyung Gi knew her well; she was in the agency since she was fourteen. Song Hi was an attention seeker, and despite her young age, she had this ability to seduce everyone, fooling them as she pleased. But it didn't work on Kyung Gi, who met beautiful vamps every day and who was immune to such acts.

The teen was up to something. At first, he suspected her of trying to change agencies, but then another idea popped into his head. Song Hi was a flirtatious teen; it wouldn't surprise him if she had a hidden boyfriend. Marc Joubert, Kwon Jin's French friend, dropped into his thoughts.

The idea seemed so farfetched that he laughed.

The other artist was Shin Bo-Ra, the leader of Mad G seemed to have lost her focus and fighting spirit. She was caught in minor scandals, which his father cleaned up. But there, Kyung Gi could see there was something wrong with her health. The idol was underweight, and everyone complained about violent mood swings. When he tried to talk to her, she almost broke down, asking him to take a break from her contract.

Bo-Ra had one more year to go before her contract renewal. Kyung-Gi wondered if it was good to keep her. His father had told him to fire if necessary, but he had a case of conscious she needed help, and firing her would be like abandoning her. Of course, the group could work as a trio, but would the fans accept it?

In most cases, disbandment usually followed.

The situation gave him headaches; he went home early, where another chore awaited him. Kyung Gi filmed his father every night. After explaining what was happening to him, he now told Hye Mi via video how to survive after all his mind would be gone.

It was difficult for Kyung Gi to hear his father talk as if he was already dead.

At 10 PM, Kyung Gi's phone rang, a friend told him he thought having seen Song Hi at the Best Western New Seoul Hotel near City Hall.

Seoul, Best Western New Hotel

Kyung Gi drove to the hotel right away. What was the idol playing at?

Song Hi and Kwon Jin were making mistakes. Deep in their love boat, they forgot that the walls had eyes.

Arriving at the lobby, Kyung Gi showed his business card and asked if she had checked in the hotel, but apparently, Song Hi's name was not on the register. He proceeded differently, giving various assistants' names, and effectively a miss Yun Soo Gu checked in earlier that evening.
