Chapter 75: The twins with the big shots

Dongwoo stood in a corner and sighed. He was exhausted.

For the past two hours, Taiha had been taking him from one big shot to another. It was overwhelming at first, standing in front of those guys who made the magic happen in both the modeling industry and the movie industry.

Taiha said a lot of good things about him and praised him a lot as well, and though it got him embarrassed, feeling they were too far-fetched, he was grateful for it.

He thought the big shots wouldn’t believe Taiha since he was someone they were seeing for the first time but they said,

"Ah, if it’s someone the great Meong Taiha is recommending then I guess your talents are no joke."

So many good things were said about him in the span of two hours, and so many invitation cards as well.

’I don’t know what I’m going to do with the invites, though. I’m already affiliated with Wailers.’ He thought and sighed.

He politely took a glass of wine from the waiter passing by and even thanked them. It surprised the waiter because, in events like these, the big shots didn’t even care about the waiters.

It was like the tray of drinks were moving on their own in thin air so they simply grabbed one glass and kept on with their conversation. Once they were done, they would drop the glass in the same manner, not minding the risks of flipping the entire tray in the process and causing the waiter trouble.

’I wonder if the twins are doing okay.’ Dongwoo thought. ’It’s their first official gathering. I hope they’re not too nervous.’

"Kiddo, you’re over here." He heard Taiha’s voice from behind and his eyes widened.

He didn’t want to meet any more big shots. He had met enough to make his head explode so no more.

’Let’s pretend we can’t hear and walk away.’ his thoughts echoed and he did just that.

"Aish, is this kid ignoring me?" Taiha wondered, scratching the back of his head. "You seem to be leaping before you land." He smirked in mischief. "Oh well, I just won’t talk about the twins with him."

The moment Dongwoo heard that, his ear twitched,, and he paused. Slowly, he turned his head, only to find Taiha standing right behind him.

"I knew you were ignoring me on purpose." He said.

This frightened Dongwoo, and he almost flipped backward, but Taiha grabbed his hand and prevented him from making a scene.

"What a way to flip." He exclaimed, helping him to his feet

"T-thank you." Dongwoo said, keeping his head down. He felt embarrassed.

A second too late and he would’ve really embarrassed himself.

"You’re making this Sunbae of yours embarrassed. It was my fault for sneaking up on you so don’t do that." He said but Dongwoo could only purse his lips.

Seeing this, Taiha sighed. Time to change the topic.

"I wanted to tell you that you don’t need to worry about the twins." He said, and Dongwoo’s eyes widened. He raised his head with interest. "They’re doing just fine."

"Really? Where are they?"

"Come, I’ll show you."

Taiha led Dongwoo to another side of the venue. The side he had been was where most people stuck around to gather supporters and sponsors but there was another part where people who were already acquainted usually stayed to sit and take over drinks.

They were couches for relaxation, and the space was pretty big. It could contain a lot of people, but at the moment, only a few were present, and they were all, of course, bigger shots than the big shots on the previous side.

Dongwoo spotted the twins sitting in the same space with a white-haired man who strangely reminded him of Geumtae.

And also in their company was a girl. Hm, if his memory served him right, she was a famous model with two yearly awards in her name as well as a nickname given by her fans and made official by the company.

’Rose.’

The reason was she was as beautiful as a rose, with calm and delicate petals, but when she got on the runway, she would bare her thorns and leave her opponents with nothing but scars of their defeat.

There was someone else with them. An executive maybe, but he was smiling brightly and trying to hold an active conversation with the twins, who simply nodded, smiled, and gave vague responses.

From where Taiha and Dongwoo were standing, they would faintly hear their voices, but that was all there was to it.

"Who are those two?" Dongwoo subconsciously asked out loud.

"The one with the cold expression is the CEO." Taiha answered and Dongwoo nodded.

"Oh, I see." He said but then it struck him.

He looked at Taiha, shocked, and Taiha nodded.

"Yes, you heard me right." He said. "That is the CEO of Wailers, Geum Haejoo."

Dongwoo was speechless. How is it that the twins were sitting with the CEO? What was going on? Had they been recognized to that extent?

He knew the company was investing a lot in them because they saw potential, but wasn’t this too much attention?

It was like they had been marked from the start to the extent that they could sit with the CEO.

’Ah, that’s my boys. Their perfect face can definitely get them anywhere. I feel proud.’ he thought.

Though it was still strange, he decided to shove aside the thoughts he could not find answers to.

"And next to him is the CEO of Lex, Do Taekyung." Taiha pointed out.

"Wait, Lex? You mean the famous production company? The ones who shot the movie, ’Crier’? He is the CEO? What is he doing there?" Dongwoo asked in surprise and Taiha shrugged.

"Probably to recruit our stars for a movie or something."

It was no surprise that the twins would get the attention of a movie production agency but to this extent? Ah, how many people already knew about them before they made their debut?

The attention was... He clenched his fists.

’I hope the twins are okay. I hope they don’t feel too overwhelmed by the people sitting with them.’

Contrary to Dongwoo’s worries, as always, the twins, with their fake smiles up, had dreary thoughts.

’Ah, it’s been two hours. What does this guy want from us?’ Seojin thought. ’I want to see Hyung.’

’If it wasn’t for the favor, I wouldn’t have had to sit here and hear these rats talk. It’s infuriating, honestly.’ he glanced at Haejoo and almost clicked his tongue but he refrained from it.

Instead, he picked up the glass of whiskey in front of him and slowly downed it.

’Dammit, I want to see Hyung. When will this be over?’
