Legendary Superstar-Chapter 57: He’s Here

Minjae was already there, though just half way.

Halfway, because 3 days later and he still hasn’t got any response from Donghyun regarding the matter. He was assured enough that it’d be fine, but he couldn’t lie, as days passed by, he couldn’t help but have doubts about it.

Still, those 3 days of uncertainty were spent on productivity. Minjae spent more time with the drama cast. He had also successfully exchanged numbers with them.

In this new life, they were his first connection. Everything was proceeding smoothly except for Sooyun.

His relationship with Sooyun had become stagnant. He wasn’t expecting anything either, and he didn’t want to get associated with him.

Though, it was just odd.

The man had become extra nice to him. He knew that it was all an act, but he was curious why he was determined to do it.

"Alright everyone! That’s a wrap!"

The golden hour had finally settled over the set as the final clicks of the camera echoed through the silence.

The last photoshoot for the drama’s promotional campaign had officially wrapped up. It was also the only shoot wherein Minjae was included.

"Thank you, everyone!"

"Nice work!"

"It was fun!"

The casts uttered out loud as they bowed their heads repeatedly to the crew members and camera director.

"Thank you!"

Minjae followed, bowing politely and offering his thanks to the staff.

The energy in the room was light. It was filled with laughter and chatter as the cast exchanged playful banters with each other. It was obvious that they had gotten close ever since their first promotional show.

"Minjae, do you want to grab some coffee with us after the shoot?" Ha-Eun glanced at Minjae, who was on her side.

They were all talking about getting some coffee and spending some time after to commemorate the end of their promotional activity. Usually, it would be a team dinner. However, some of them had a schedule later in the evening, so it was moved to a later date.

"Sorry, I can’t. I still have a meeting with my agency."

"Oh? You have? Are they already preparing for your debut?"

"Yes," Minjae smiled at Ha-Eun. The two of them had gotten closer than they initially were.

Ha-Eun was a good senior, who takes care of her juniors well. It was evident by her treatment to their fellow actors and the staff around.

"Ohhh, I see. You must be busy then." Ha-Eun chuckled, her sweet voice radiating in the air. "But you won’t miss the team dinner, right?" she asked once again.

Minjae was interesting for Ha-Eun. There was something about the man that she couldn’t figure out. Other than that, Minjae’s blue eyes really caught her attention. It was a shock stil a shock to her why it wasn’t talked well enough, when it was a rare sight to see.

She was wondering if Minjae had foreign blood because of it. Though she was unsure since Minjae’s facial feature looked like he was a full Korean.

She had been meaning to ask it for so long, but it won’t look proper when they’re in a formal setting. Ha-Eun wants to use their dinner as a reason to ask more about Minjae’s background.

"I won’t miss it. I’ll go." Minjae answered with a smile. He knew that he had been declining their invitation for so long and his agency also wanted him to go to the dinner that they even offered to clear the day for him.

"Aright. I’ll see you there then."

"See you," Minjae slightly bowed his head as Ha-Eun waved a hand. She smiled sweetly, showing her pearly white teeth before turning around to say her goodbye to the other staff.

Now left alone, Minjae fixed his things. He was alone but Dongwook was outside to pick him up. He was the only cast in the room to arrive at the set without anyone to assist him, but it was fine.

It was still alright since there were crew members who took care of him. There were also a stylist and make-up artist on the set. They meticulously did their magic to make him look even better in the camera and he was grateful for it.

With his experience so far though, he just realized how hard it was to function without a manager.

Now, he appreciated Donghyun’s work even more, and he couldn’t wait for the man to work with him once again.

’Alright, time to go home.’ Miinjae slung his bag over his shoulder. He was about to move away when a familiar voice called out to him.

"You’re heading out already?"

Minjae turned to see Sooyun who was approaching him, his hands casually tucked into the pockets of his coat. His expression was unreadable, but there was something almost expectant in his gaze.

Minjae forced a smile, reminding himself that they were still in public. The cameras might not be rolling, but eyes were still on them.

"Yes, Hyung. I think I’ll call it a day."

Sooyun nodded, stepping closer. "I was actually going to grab a coffee. Want to come with me?"

Minjae’s smile faltered for a fraction of a second. It was such an unusual offer coming from Sooyun that he almost did a double take. The two of them barely spoke unless it was necessary, and yet here Sooyun was, asking him out for coffee like they were old friends.

It was suspicious.

Still, Minjae knew better than to outright reject him, especially with so many people around. Sooyun was one of the biggest names in the industry, and any interaction between them could easily spark unnecessary rumors.

He exhaled softly, carefully choosing his words. "I appreciate the invite, but I—"

A sudden shift in the atmosphere cut him off. A stir rippled through the crowd, conversations dying down as attention gradually turned toward the entrance. Minjae didn’t need to look to know that someone important had just arrived.

The room was silent for a moment before a hushed murmur spread like wildfire.

"Is that…?"

"No way… It’s really him."

Minjae finally turned his head and his breath caught in his throat.

A man stood at the entrance, his presence commanding attention despite his calm, measured steps. It had been months since he had last appeared publicly in the entertainment industry, yet his name still carried enough weight to leave people speechless.

He was, after all, the man who had once managed Juwon—the brightest star that had ever graced the industry.

And now he was here, walking straight toward Minjae.
