Legendary Superstar-Chapter 58: Minjae’s Manager
"Hyung?"
"Hyung?"
Minjae and Sooyun both asked the question at the same time. The two of them looked equally shocked as Donghyun made its way, each step he took was confident and measured.
Minjae was speechless. He hadn’t thought of meeting Donghyun today. His forehead creased as a question appeared in his mind.
How did Donghyun know about his location?
"Hyung! It’s nice to see you again!" Sooyun’s gaze lit up. It has been so long since he last saw the man.
He was happy. Not because he liked Donghyun personally, but because he wanted to show to everyone how he still had connections with the important figures in Juwon’s life.
Sooyun wanted to ask Donghyun to be his manager. He has seen how meticulously the man worked when he was with Juwon.
He thought that if Donghyun worked under him, then he might be able to reach the pinnacle of success just like what Juwon had. It was his lifelong dream that was why he kept befriending those at the top.
"Sooyun," Donghyun gave a quick look at Sooyun before glancing at Minjae. There was nothing in his eyes. He was looking at him as if he didn’t want to do anything with him.
"What—"
"Minjae, is your schedule done?"
Before Sooyun could ask Donghyun why he was here, he was already cut off by the man’s words.
Sooyun’s brows connected. He looked at Donghyun and Minjae in confusion.
’Why is Donghyun hyung asking about Minjae? Did they know each other?"
Multiple questions filled his mind and he was eager to find an answer to it.
"Yes, Hyung." Minjae, who had just recovered from being shocked nodded his head as he answered. He looked around, feeling the gaze of everyone.
Donghyun’s entrance caught everyone’s attention. They were curious why Donghyun was here. They initially thought that it was for Sooyun, however, seeing the scene, it seemed like he was here for Minjae instead.
Because of this, the staff got even more curious.
Was Minjae this good that even Juwon’s previous manager was here to approach him?
They slowed down their work to observe, waiting for what would happen next.
Sooyun, on the other hand, wasn’t as patient. His expression darkened slightly as he stepped forward, his lips curling into a carefully composed smile.
He didn’t like how things were turning out, but he gotta keep his composure. No worries though since he was good at things like that.
"Hyung, you didn’t answer my question," he said, keeping his tone light. "You’re here for Minjae?"
"Yes." Donghyun barely spared him a glance at him.
He didn’t want to interact with a man like Sooyun. He loathes his kind.
"Oh…" The simplicity of Donghyun’s answer struck Sooyun like a blow, making his smile falter for a brief second. But, he recovered quickly.
"Do you know each other hyung?" Sooyun curiously asked.
He was thinking that Minjae might have been Donghyun’s relative, but that would be impossible since the man didn’t have any family.
"Yes."
Minjae caught the flicker of emotion in Sooyun’s eyes. There was surprise, confusion, and perhaps even something close to disbelief.
"Since when Hyung?" Sooyun clenched his fists at his sides
"Since a week ago." This time, Donghyun’s gaze sharpened.
"How?"
"We met at a cafe. He was nice and I found out he was an actor — a new one on top of that."
"It seemed like Donghyun is interested in Minjae."
"Minjae is a fortunate one isn’t he?"
"Does that means Donghyun wants to manage a new artist after Juwon?"
The murmurs around them grew louder, and Minjae could already imagine the wildfire of speculation this would spark. For sure this wouldn’t only reach his agency but also the fans around.
Donghyun wasn’t just an ordinary person. He also had a wide connection with multiple important figures in the entertainment world. What’s more, he was also close with Juwon’s fans and even had a following on his own because of his character.
"That’s quite… unexpected." Sooyun took a deep breath, forcing a small chuckle.
"You seem surprised, Sooyun." Donghyun finally turned his full attention to him, his expression unreadable.
"Not really, Hyung," Sooyun chuckled as he defended himself. "I’m just shocked that after staying liie low… you would be interested in someone? A new one on top of that." His tone was casual, but there was an underlying edge to it.
"Well, I believe Minjae has potential." The corner of Donghyun’s lips rose to a smile.
After being away, he didn’t know that this was how Sooyun was behaving. He almost didn’t want to believe that this was the same guy who kept being close to Juwon back then.
Sooyun’s jaw tightened. It wasn’t just what Donghyun said. It was what he didn’t say. It felt like the man wasn’t acknowledging his career or even the idea of working with him.
"I see..." Sooyun, for once, was speechless.
Donghyun gave a quick nod before he went neared to Minjae.Then, with a calm and composed demeanor, he spoke.

"Well, I’ll be Minjae’s manager."
Silence fell over the room, the weight of his words sinking in. Minjae could feel the eyes on them, the silent questions forming behind every curious stare.
Minjae was equally surprised. However, sensing the rising tension, he cleared his throat. He didn’t want to cause a ruckus in the studio.
"Hyung," he called out to Donghyun, trying to shift the attention away from Sooyun. "We should probably talk somewhere else. I don’t want to disturb the others."
"We can do that. Let’s go."
Donghyun nodded in agreement, completely unfazed by the atmosphere.
Minjae turned to the cast and staff, offering a polite bow once again.
"Thank you once again for today. I’ll see you all soon. Please take care of me further in the future."
The other staff who was watching quickly responded. They also uttered their farewells and congratulations, though it had lingering curiosity.
Minjae felt Sooyun’s gaze burning into his back as he walked away with Donghyun, but he didn’t look back.
’I wonder what’s with his reaction.’ His forehead creased when he thought of it.
Sooyun’s reaction looked like he didn’t like what he had just witnessed and he had a feeling that this wasn’t the last time Sooyun would bring this up.
