Episode 27
While everyone was enjoying breakfast and chatting together, online discussions among fans were buzzing with sightings of Hajin and Sejin.
Some fans had uploaded accounts of meeting them the day before, and photos taken at the hospital during discharge or in the alley when they were taking the puppy were surfacing everywhere.
The most talked-about post, of course, was one shared by a fan who had met them at the animal hospital and posted about it in a fan café.
[Who said you can’t be a successful fangirl? Hahaha. My story of encountering Hajin oppa and Sejin!!]
Ugh!! Just thinking about it now still makes my heart race!!
So, today I went to the animal hospital to get my dog vaccinated for rabies.
Pet owners would know that there are two rabies vaccination periods each year, and when the announcement comes out, you just go and get it done during that time.
Originally, I had planned to go the day before yesterday, but suddenly got super lazy (honestly, past me deserves praise for that, haha). Then my mom nagged me about it, so I finally got up and headed to the animal hospital.
There were a few more people than usual today, and I was starting to get annoyed from the wait when suddenly the door opened and someone walked in.
Yes! It was Hajin oppa and Sejin!!!
In that moment, I swear there was a halo shining behind them.
Why was oppa’s skin glowing even though he clearly wasn’t wearing any makeup...?
And next to him was our sweet little mochi, Sejin. Maybe it’s because he's still young, but his skin looked baby-smooth and flawless.
Compared to that, my skin was just... ruined... sob sob...
Anyway, everyone there recognized them, and the place was in an uproar.
At first, I was wondering, “Why would oppa come to an animal hospital?” But then... dun dun dun!!
Oh my god... Is he an angel who lost his wings?
He had rescued an abandoned dog off the street and brought it in!!
The hospital staff told him he’d have to wait a bit.
Without even realizing it, my fangirl instincts exploded and I told oppa that my dog’s case wasn’t urgent, so he could go ahead and get seen first.
But get this—everyone else waiting in the hospital was so kind too, and after I spoke up, they all agreed to let him go first as well.
It made me realize the world is still a warm and kind place. Tears
So oppa’s group went into the exam room, and then came back out to wait for the test results, sitting in the waiting area. That’s when I began to debate with myself.
Should I tell oppa that I’m “Genie” and ask for his autograph...? Or should I hold back and pretend I don’t know him, even if it breaks my heart...?
While I was struggling with that decision, oppa suddenly stepped outside by himself.
I was feeling disappointed, but a little while later, his road manager came in with drinks and handed one out to everyone in the hospital, saying thank you.
They had brought coffee and other stuff, and I got a strawberry juice too. Hahaha.
And again, I was thrown into an internal conflict.
Should I drink it...? Or should I take it home and enshrine it in the fridge...?
But then I thought, if I bring it home, my pig of a little brother is definitely going to drink it.
Realizing that, I decided to just store this juice... in my belly.
That way, I’ll always carry oppa’s gift with me. Hahahaha. (I even washed the empty cup and straw clean and have them respectfully displayed on my desk.)
Anyway, once I made peace with that and began sipping my drink, the other pet owners started chatting with Sejin and giving him snacks.
So of course, I frantically started digging through my bag too.
Luckily, it's the bag I always carry, so it was packed with my emergency rations. Haha.
I dumped everything and gave it all to Sejin.
And let me tell you—seeing Sejin up close? Unreal!!
Out of every kid (including child actors and models) I’ve ever seen in my life, Sejin was by far the most beautiful!!!
That surprise appearance Sejin made in the livestream the other day didn’t even come close to doing justice to his looks!!!
Seriously, everyone there was just going on and on about how cute Sejin was.
And just then, Hajin oppa came back.
People made space for him, and in the end, I caved to my instincts—I confessed that I was "Genie" and asked for his autograph.
I honestly only planned to ask for a signature, but then Hajin oppa said, “Let’s take a selfie too,” and he personally took a photo with my crappy phone!
While taking the photo, everything felt like a blur—I don’t even remember how that moment passed. sob
If it weren’t for the picture saved in my phone, I’d probably think it was all a dream. Haha.
Anyway, after we took the picture, we sat down, and then the vet came out and called Hajin oppa’s group back into the exam room.
A little while later, Hajin oppa came out again, and I heard something about pet registration, so I started getting curious.
And sure enough, the vet came out with the puppy and told us that oppa had decided to adopt the stray dog!!
Are you actually an angel, sir? If not, how is this real... tears
So in the end, oppa, Sejin, and their manager Mr. Cheolhwan (who had been with them the whole time—I only noticed him just then, haha) bought pet food and supplies, said goodbye, and took the puppy home.
Ahh!! Who would've thought I’d run into Hajin oppa and Sejin in such an unexpected place?
All those years of failing to get tickets to fansigns and concerts, all the tears I shed…
It was all worth it someday... Hahahahahaha.
What a good life. Haha.
P.S. Just in case you don’t believe me, I attached the selfie I took with oppa. I blurred my own face because I look like a squid.
- OMG!!!
- Why don’t I have a dog!!!
- Am I the only one without a dog? sobs
- Same here (2222)
- Me too (333333)
- There were photos of Sejin being discharged going around. I guess this was on their way home.
- Looks like OP used up all her luck for the year. Hahaha.
- I’m jealous~~ Why am I always the one who can’t live the fangirl life? cries endlessly
- If you're that lucky, you need to fangirl even harder! Why are you acting like you're going to retire at the end? LOL
The fan post that went up in the café the night before received massive attention from other fans.
As a result, numerous news articles started appearing in entertainment sections:
[B-One's Seo Hajin Adopts a Stray Dog?!]
[Why Did an Idol Member Appear at an Animal Hospital?]
[B-One's Seo Hajin’s Nephew Finally Discharged from Hospital After Long Treatment!]
[The Generous Heart of B-One: A Group Known for Philanthropy Once Again Shows Kindness…]
The following afternoon, at the VTM Broadcasting Station in Mapo.
At a desk located deep inside the Variety Department, a man in his late 30s was reading through those news articles with keen interest.
Shortly afterward, he texted the assistant director, instructing him to gather the writers and staff in the conference room.
One hour later, about a dozen people with laptops and notebooks were gathered, waiting for the meeting to begin.
Then, the person who had called the meeting walked in.
It was PD Park Hwanwoong, the producer behind VTM’s most popular variety shows.
“Did you see today’s entertainment news?”
“Yes, the news about B-One’s Seo Hajin was everywhere.”
The head writer replied.
“Right. What’s the status on that inquiry we sent to B-One’s agency about the parenting variety show?”
“They said they weren’t interested.”
The assistant director responded quickly.
“And that’s it? That’s where you stopped? You think celebrities turning us down is something new? Even if they say that, you keep reaching out and try to make something happen. Is this how you guys work now? Just because things are going well for us, you’re getting lazy? Since when do we book guests just sitting on our butts and making phone calls? You need to get out there and hustle, got it?!”
PD Park shouted angrily.
At PD Park’s outburst, the staff lowered their heads and avoided his gaze.
“Tsk tsk tsk. And you expect me to get anything done relying on people like you? Ugh! Get in touch with Ain Entertainment again and try to set up a meeting. Say we just want to have a talk. Since we’ll be meeting face-to-face, the writers need to finalize the project proposal right away.”
At PD Park’s order, the head writer responded.
“But PD-nim, wouldn’t it be pointless? It’s not just us—other stations have tried as well, and they’ve never budged. It seems pretty clear they have no intention of putting Seo Hajin’s nephew on a show… And on top of that, he just got discharged. It feels too soon to approach them.”
Park PD frowned and replied.
“So we just give up then? If this gets on air, the ratings are guaranteed. Did you not see the articles? They’re saying Seo Hajin adopted a stray dog! Don’t you know the 3B rule in broadcasting? Beauty, Beast, Baby! Even having just one of those draws views, and this has all three!! And you’re telling me to give up? We have to find a way to make it happen, no matter what!”
“Okay, okay. Just don’t yell.”
“Starting now, pull every connection you’ve got and make sure we set up a meeting with Ain Entertainment. If you get the meeting, I’ll get down on my knees and beg if I have to. Got it?”
“Got it, but please, stop saying you’ll kneel. With how many times you’ve done that already, your knees must be completely worn out.”
Ignoring the head writer’s grumbling, PD Park gave the staff another round of firm instructions and wrapped up the meeting.
Thus, PD Park and his team began mobilizing every connection they had to reach out to Ain Entertainment.
Team 1, Singer Division–Ain Entertainment
The employees in charge of B-One were growing exasperated by the constant stream of incoming calls.
“Wow, the rumors were true.”
“You mean about VTM’s PD Park? Yeah, my phone’s been blowing up with calls from them too. I can’t get any other work done. Ugh!”
“Should we ask Manager Kim to just set up a meeting?”
“Yeah, apparently the PD said that if we can just get them the meeting, he’ll handle the convincing himself.”
"If the rumors are true, they’re going to keep hounding us until a meeting is set. Ugh."
"There’s a reason he’s called the Mapo leech..."
While the employees were complaining, Cheolhwan, the manager for Team 1, walked into the office.
"Manager!"
"Why are you just getting here?!"
Startled by the sudden outburst, Cheolhwan paused mid-step.
"What’s going on? Why all the commotion?"
"We keep getting bombarded by the Mapo leech!!"
"Mapo leech?"
"Yes! PD Park Hwanwoong from VTM. His staff keep calling one after another—it’s driving us crazy."
"Somehow they even found the number for our youngest staff member and started calling. Ugh."
"I had to talk them out of showing up in person!"
Hearing the flurry of complaints, Cheolhwan set his bag down at his desk.
"Is this about that parenting reality show again? Didn’t we already turn them down?"
"Yeah, we thought that was the end of it. But now that articles about Hajin and Sejin are blowing up, they’ve come running again."
"It seems like they’re going to keep calling until we give in. PD Park’s nickname is ‘the leech’ after all."
"He’s famous for it—he’ll hound celebrities like a stalker until they cave and agree to appear. Right now, he’s totally obsessed with Hajin and Sejin!"
Scratching his head, Cheolhwan looked conflicted.
Given B-One’s current status, they didn’t have to take these relentless calls seriously. But considering the agency represented multiple celebrities, it was still beneficial to maintain good relationships with broadcasters.
After thinking it over, Cheolhwan finally spoke.
"This is something that directly affects the kids, so I’ll go talk to them at the dorm this afternoon. Just tell the station that for now. Get PD Park’s number and let them know I’ll call him later today."
"Understood."
"Other than that, there’s nothing new, right?"
"Just the usual—interviews, show appearances, etc."
"Right. The kids' contract renewals come first, so just keep those offers on hold and collect the details for now. We’ll re-evaluate their activities when we do the renewal, so hang in there a little longer."
"Yessir~!"
With that, Cheolhwan calmed the staff and started organizing the information he would present to the B-One members.
After handling miscellaneous paperwork, he grabbed his car keys and headed down to the basement parking lot shortly after lunch.
