Legendary Superstar-Chapter 94: Back Again
Jihoon nearly doubled over. He clutched his stomach as he secretly burst into laughter on the side.
"Pft— Hyung! You just got your own personal cheer squad!" Jihoon wheezed, smacking Minjae on the back. "This is gold!"
Jihoon had to cover his face that was slowly becoming red from laughing too much.
Yura also giggled on the side. She closely watched Minjae's reaction with amusement. A few seconds later and she was also laughing.
Meanwhile, Minjae was momentarily stunned. He had experienced fans cheering for him at award shows when he was Juwon, but this was different. This was his first public fan interaction as Nam Minjae, and someone was already hyping him up like this.
The girl, clearly aware of the internal chaos she was causing, continued with even more enthusiasm.
"Minjae! Minjae! To Minjae Oppa, the brightest star!"
A few passersby turned their heads, confused at the sudden excitement. Some even pulled out their phones to check if there was a celebrity nearby.
"Ah… haha, t-thank you," Minjae stammered, not knowing how to react properly. His ears were turning red from the attention.

Jihoon wiped a laugh tear from the corner of his eye.
"This is the best day of my life."
"Shut up," Minjae muttered, shooting him a glare.
The fan smiled brightly, clutching her phone. "Ahh, I don't want to take up more of your time, but really, Oppa, thank you for the picture! And you too, Unnie!" She bowed deeply.
"Of course! Thank you for supporting our Minjae Oppa!" Yura teased, throwing Minjae a playful smirk..
Jihoon immediately copied her, clasping his hands together dramatically. "Yes, thank you for recognizing our dear hyung's talent! Please continue to support his rise to the top!"
Minjae groaned, rubbing his temples.
"God, you two—"
"I will! I'll support you no matter what, Oppa!" The girl giggled at their antics.
With that, she gave one last cheerful wave before walking away, still clutching her phone as if it was the most precious thing in the world.
As soon as she disappeared from sight, Jihoon immediately turned to Minjae with a mischievous grin.
"Hyung, how does it feel to be the brightest star?" Jihoon teased, wiggling his eyebrows.
"I hate you." Minjae let out a tired sigh.
"Ahhh, I should have recorded that moment," Jihoon sighed dramatically, shaking his head. "We could've capitalized on this. Imagine the content!"
"What am I, an idol now?" Minjae gave him a deadpan look.
"I mean, with your recent accidental singing skills, who knows?" Jihoon shrugged.
"That was really cute, though. She was so nervous but also so supportive." Yura chuckled.
"Yeah… she was." Minjae's expression softened at that.
It was a strange feeling. He wasn't used to this kind of attention yet in this new body, but seeing how happy that fan was, he realized that maybe this wasn't so bad.
Jihoon suddenly grabbed Minjae's shoulders.
"Hyung, from now on, if we ever run into fans, I will personally start your official fan chant. Just say the word."
"No, thanks." Minjae sighed, already regretting everything.
"Too late. The chant is already memorized in my heart." Jihoon smirked.
"Go away, Jihoon."
Minjae groaned while Yura burst into laughter.

A few days had passed since Minjae's unexpected fan encounter, and things were back to business.
Their short break had been refreshing, but now, it was time to return to filming.
Today's shoot was an outdoor scene at a university campus, which meant a long and tiring day under the sun. However, everyone felt more energetic than usual because they had enough rest.
The university setting meant a lot of background actors, multiple locations, and a packed shooting schedule. They had started early in the morning, though they'd get busier once the day went on.
Minjae arrived at the set wearing a hoodie and a cap, his hands stuffed into his pockets as he yawned.
It was barely 7:00 AM, and he had only gotten five hours of sleep the night. He was studying his script yesterday, making sure that everything was right with his memory.
The moment he stepped onto the artist's tent in the filming site, he immediately spotted Jihoon and Yura sitting by the catering table, munching on the breakfast sandwiches that the production provides.
The productions provides food for everyone. They believe that in this line of work, having a healthy body is important. And one to make sure of that was by eating healthy.
"Hyung!" Jihoon waved him over with a mouth full of food. "Did you sleep well?"
Minjae sat down across from them.
"Yeah."
"Good thing for you, Hyung. I barely had any sleep earlier because I was reviewing my script."
"Oh? Since when did you become such a hardworking student?" Yura raised an eyebrow.
"You're so mean Yura, I'm not like Minjae hyung who can memorize the script in just one day."
"True, True," Yura, who can't deny it, just agreed.
"So, hyung, are you ready for today's scene?" Jihoon, whho still chewing his sandwich, leaned forward.
Minjae shrugs his shoulders and answered calmly. "I believe so."
Today, they will be filmingn a few important scenes for the drama involving him, Jihoon and Yura. It was after Yura went after him to the city. Being a village girl, Yura was unaware of the life of the city.
"I heard we're gonna be out here for almost twelve hours," Jihoon groaned dramatically. "Do you know what that means?"
"That you'll be annoying us the whole time?" Minjae said without hesitation.
Jihoon gasped in mock offense. "Hyung! How could you say that?"
Yura laughed.
"Because it's true."
Jihoon pouted, dramatically slumping in his chair.
"Wow. I'm betrayed by my own friends first thing in the morning. What a cruel world we have."
"You'll live. Don't worry." Minjae smirked.
"Well," Yura chuckled, stretching her arms. "We should enjoy this calm before the storm. Once filming starts, we won't even have time to sit down properly."
"You're right, Yura." Jihoon sighed.
It's another day of hardship again.
