Legendary Superstar-Chapter 93: To Minjae Oppa, The Brightest Star!

"I swear, hyung, ever since your scene aired, my mom won't shut up about you. She kept telling me to ask for your autograph now that we're doing a scene together." Jihoon huffed as he stirred his coffee dramatically

"She even asked if we were close so she could brag about it to her friends."

"Oh my god, really? What did you tell her?" Yura laughed.

Jihoon smirked as he confidently tapped his chest.

"I told her, 'Of course, Minjae-hyung is my best buddy! We talk all the time!'"

"Do we, though?" Minjae raised an eyebrow. His eyes squinted as he gazed at Jihoon.

Currently, the three of them were having some coffee. It has been 3 days since they got home.

Jihoon clicked his tongue, patting Minjae's shoulder with an exaggerated brotherly expression. With their stay in Jeju, the three of them had become closer so he got the confidence to joke around.

"Hyung, don't embarrass me. Just go along with it." Jihoon jokingly muttered.

"Fine. Tell her I said hi." Minjae chuckled, shaking his head.

Yura, who was sipping on her caramel macchiato, leaned in with an amused look.

"You guys are such idiots." she uttered in an amused tone.

Jihoon gasped, placing a hand over his chest dramatically.

"Excuse me? How dare you? I am an actor."

"And I am too." Minjae deadpanned.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

"Exactly!" Jihoon pointed at Minjae. "Minjae gets it! You and I, Hyung, we are one and the same."

"But I'd rather not be compared to you." Minjae hummed as a playful smile crossed his lips.

One thing he found out during their jeju trip was how nice it was to tease Jihoon.

"Lmaooo," Yura laughed so hard she almost choked on her drink.

"Tsk. Tsk. You two. What is this betrayal," Jihoon pouted before taking a sip of his coffee as he sulked.

In a second, Minjae and Yura's eyes met. The two of them silently agreed to ignore Jihoon, causing the man to sulk more.

However, it wasn't long before Jihoon started talking once again. He couldn't keep his mouth shut for a few minutes, and with their stay in the cafe, he was the one to engage the conversation the most and he was tireless.

After finishing their drinks, the trio left the cafe and took a leisurely stroll through the busy streets. The sun was shining, the weather was cool, and the streets were pretty empty this afternoon.

"You know," Yura started, looking at Minjae.

"You never really reacted properly to all the attention you've been getting. Are you really not that affected?"

Minjae stuffed his hands into his jacket pockets, thinking for a moment.

"It's not that I don't care," he admitted. "I appreciate it, really. But I don't want to get too caught up in it."

"It makes sense, hyung. It's easy to lose yourself in this industry." Jihoon nodded. It was a rare moment where a serious expression was written on his face.

Though he really meant what he said. He has seen a lot of actors rise to the top, only to get blinded by their fame later on.

"That's a very mature answer, but let's be real. You totally checked your follower count earlier, didn't you?" Yura playfully nudged him.

Minjae chuckled but didn't deny it, because the truth was, he did.

He was waiting for his followers to reach 100k so he could accomplish his mission and get that EXP. He wants his level in acting to level up already. He couldn't wait for it.

"Tsk. Tsk. Speaking of that hyung, you should have posted a thirst trap instead of a poetic beach pic. I'm pretty sure you'd hit 200k in an hour." The playfulness came back on Jihoon's face as he thought of it.

"Yeah, no thanks. I'm not like you." Minjae shook his head.

Jihoon laughed out loud. Though, he can't deny it. If he really got the body, then he will post pictures of it.

The trio continued strolling through the quiet streets of Seoul, their casual banter filling the air.

The cool afternoon breeze made the walk pleasant. Fall was starting to come causing a lower temperature.

For the first time in weeks, Minjae felt like he was just another ordinary guy again. It friends him of the days when he was still new to the body, doing cashier work and just living to survive.

There were no cameras and scripts. It was just a simple life.

The three were enjoying their time together, when suddenly, a soft and hesitant voice called out from behind them.

"U-Um... Excuse me?"

The three of them turned around in unison with the sudden voice.

Standing a few feet away was a young woman, probably in her early twenties. She was holding onto her phone tightly while her eyes were wide with nervous excitement.

Her gaze darted between the three people before finally settling on Minjae.

"Are you... Nam Minjae?" she asked respectfully, her voice was barely above a whisper.

"Oh, here we go. Hyung, your first public fan interaction!" Jihoon uttered out loud. Minjae hadn't even answered, yet it was already confirmed that it was him based on Jihoon's reaction.

'This guy,' Minjae shook his head before glancing at the woman.

"Yes, I am." he answered and gave the girl a polite smile.

The girl let out a small gasp, her hands trembling as she fumbled with her phone.

"Oh my god... I-I just watched The Only Way 4 days ago, and your scene was so amazing! I just… w-wow… I-I didn't expect to see you here." the woman stuttered on her words, the feeling of excitement surfacing.

It was her first time having an interaction with actors so she was really nervous.

"Thank you," Minjae said sincerely. He smiled even wider. "I really appreciate that."

Minjae was flawless when interacting with fans. On the outside, it looked as if he was experienced with it already.

It made Jihoon and Yura amazed. Minjae was good at acting, but they didn't know he was also good at interacting with people.

Minjae looked so calm and composed and here they were, really nervous.

"C-Can I take a picture with you?" The girl hesitated for a moment before gathering her courage. "If it's okay!"

Jihoon leaned toward Minjae and whispered.

"Hyung, if you say no, you're gonna break her heart."

Minjae shot Jihoon a look before nodding at the fan. He knew that it would be the case.

Since there was no harm in interacting, Minjae nodded.

"Of course."

The girl let out a soft squeal before hurriedly opening her camera. Yura, noticing how nervous the girl was, kindly offered a hand.

"I can take the picture for you."

"R-Really? Thank you so much!"

The girl was deeply thankful. With shaking hands, she smiled and post.

Minjae stood next to the girl as Yura snapped a few pictures.

"1… 2… 3…" Yura counted before taking several shots. When she was done, she gave back the phone.

"This is perfect. Thank you so much, Unnie!" The fan looked at the photos and happily thanked Yura.

Yura chuckled. "It's no big deal."

The girl bowed her head slightly to Yura before facing Minjae once again. The girls face was determined as she raised her fist in the air.

"Oppa! I'll support you no matter what! You're going to be a big star! I just know it! To Minjae oppa!" The woman couragely cheered out loud.

"Minjae! Minjae! To Minjae Oppa, the brightest star!"

"PFFT—, THIS IS GOLD!"
