I dmed Yang Jungwon, my friend who has the same job as me if where the heck is him because it’s already 10 in the evening and we’re supposed to have a dinner together.

“Hyung, Jungwon hyung is still working?” he Ni-ki asked me while he’s preparing plates on the table.

“Yeah. He saw Jay coming out from the building so I think he will still get some shots,” I answered him and get up from the couch.

Nishimura Ni-ki, Yang Jungwon and I lived in the same apartment. The three of us isn’t studying because first, Ni-ki isn’t registered as a Korean citizen, technically he should be deported already so we are hiding him. Second, I don’t have the family to support my college fees and that’s also the case for Jungwon.

Ni-ki’s mom left him in here after visiting the country and I’m the one who’ve been with him since that day. We tried reaching his family in Japan but even them didn’t know where his mom is and eventually lost their contact.

The police and other government sector related to this aren’t paying attention to us. So, we gave up and decided to do it with our own.

That’s why I’m doing this illegal and risky job to help one another. We only have each other in this cruel world. We can’t expect someone will help us for free.

“Hyung, I’m so—“ I didn’t let him finish his sentence.

“Shh,” I hissed and smiled at him. “Ni-ki, hyung will do everything for you. You’re going to go home, okay?” I assured him.

“Thank you so much hyung!” he exclaimed that made me chuckled so I pat his head and started eating again.

We will get through this, Ni-ki. Sunoo hyung, will make it happen.

After eating, Ni-ki went inside our room so he can play with whatever he want since he is working at day in a convenient store.

I’m at the salas, sitting in the mat while facing my laptop that is on the table. I created another folder and named it “PSH”, he is my new target.

I went to both Naver and Google to search anything about him. I’m basically stalking him. I’m now starting to invade his life and I don’t care if it can ruin him as long as I’m receiving money.

Every basic information of him has been saved already that made me smirk. Everything will go smooth as long as I will do my job correctly.

Then I heard the coding sound of our unit so I know Jungwon is finally here. I saw him entered the room wearing our usual attire which is all black clothes, mask and a cap.

“How was it?” I asked him casually while my eyes are on the screen of my laptop.

“Daebak! HAHAHAHA!” He laughed aloud then went to the fridge to drink water.

“Why?” I asked him.

“You won’t believe who I saw earlier,” he said excitedly then sat beside me.

He pulled out his Canon EOS 5D Mark IV from his camera bag and gets the SD card of it. I’m still curious about what he is talking about not until I saw the video footage in my screen after he inserts the card on it.

I zoomed in the photo and made it clearer. My lips rose and then I laughed. “Jungwon thank you for this!” I exclaimed.

He looked at me in confusion, “Huh? Why?” he asked.

“Park Sunghoon, is my new project,” I answered him still grinning.

“Really!? Whoa! Boss Jeon trusted you in this? You’re really a pro already Kim Sunoo!” he shouted that made me laughed at him.

“Dummy! I need money that’s why I accepted it,” I replied at him still laughing.

“Now that we’re both in HIVE, everything will work out HAHAHAHA!” he laughs hard.

I nods, “You’re right! Now, I need to know when are they going to announce about Sunghoon and I will start my job,” I stated.

“Tsk! I got you, Ddeuno! On first week next month,” he replied.

“I see, so his schedules will be sent to me tomorrow,” I stated.

“Yep! Boss Jeon is working about it already. You know he has his eyes inside the company hahahaha,” he chuckled and I totally agree about this.

“Hahahaha! You should eat now, it’s already late,” I said.

“Yes yes! I’ll change clothes first,” that what he said before entering our room.

The three of us is sharing in one room and we’re sleeping in the floor. We don’t have the money to afford a nice and cozy apartment.

I stood up and get my camera bag and pulled my DSLR. Jungwon and I have the same cameras that are both provided by ENB. I prepared a new SD card for Sunghoon and cleaned my cam.

I cropped the photo and blur Park Jay’s face the uploaded it on my twitter. It only takes a matter of minutes and my notifications get bombed.

This guy, Park Sunghoon is a talk of the town. I will really make a lot of money from him.

I notified Boss Jeon about the post and he complimented me as well as Jungwon but because that was just a simple and casual photo, he’ll just give me ₩10,000. I don’t really mind since I’m not the one who captured it.

“We’re supposedly taking the CSAT on November,” Jungwon stated while walking outside our room.

I pursed my lips and sat, “You’re right, but our money isn’t enough for us to take a review classes,” I commented.

“We need to study for at least half a year to secure a passing score, and the review costs as high as hell,” he added.

I sighed, “We don’t have any choice but to gain money first, resign and then focus on reviewing,” I stated and smiled at him.

Jungwon nods, “Yeah, we will really going to get there!” he exclaimed that made me chuckles.

First thing in the morning, Boss Jeon emailed me Park Sunghoon’s schedules both public and private. HIVE will announce him later and will held a welcoming interview afterwards in CCT Channel.
“CCT Channel?” I whispered then get up while Ni-ki and Jungwon are still asleep.

Park Sunghoon is so expensive.

I take a bath eat something and prepare my things. While I’m wiping the lenses of my camera, Jungwon came out from the room.

“Whoa! You are really working now,” he said then chuckled before entering the comfort room.

“I know hahaha! His first broadcast will be in CCT, ENB already gave me a pass so I can enter there. The problem is, it is kind a far from here,” I stated and gently put the camera to the bag after checking everything.

“CCT has a lot of viewers so HIVE will really choose that station,” Jungwon replied while he’s still inside the comfort room.

“But Jungwon, HIVE’s protocol team is really one of the toughest, right?” I asked him.

“Yep!” he answered and went out of the comfort room while his face is wet. “But as long as you won’t hurt physically or mob the artist, I think they will still let you. As for us, we’re not mobbing them. We are secretly taking pictures of them,” he explained and the let out a laugh.

I nodded, “Yeah hahaha! I’m going to go now. Look after Ni-ki,” I instructed before wearing my cap and mask.

“Okie dokie!” he gushed.

I head out at exactly 6 in the morning and started waiting for bus that can lead me to CCT Station. While waiting, I opened my twitter and the first thing I saw is HIVE’s tweet about Park Sunghoon.

That made me grin since this means my work is really starting. A bus stopped in front of me and I hopped it. I sat in the back seat and started scrolling down in my tl.

I chuckled when I saw this tweet,

Whatever you do, you can’t stop me from doing what I need to do.

Around 7 in the morning, there are already a lot of fans in front of CCT station building. They have some slogan and gifts with them.

I stood near the entrance since it was said that he’s going to walk in here rather in the parking lot. I checked again in his schedule in my phone and he will depart in HIVE at 7:30 in the morning.

I set up my camera and attached my Canon 70-200 IS L F/2.8 lens since I know he will arrive here any minute but I was arranging my stuff I heard some gossips from my back.

“Do you think that Ddeuno is here?” I heard her murmur.

“I guess so? That Ddeuno is literally everywhere!” the girl next to her exclaimed.

The side of my lips rose. They don’t mention pronouns since they don’t know if Ddeuno is a girl or guy. No one caught me since then because I’m really careful in working things.

“He’s here!” someone shouted that made me look at the other side then I ready my camera.

I saw its protocol team stood around as the door of the artist’s car opened. Fans started to shout when Park Sunghoon went out from the car, smiling while wearing a gray suit and sunglasses.

He waves to the crowd that made the fans shouted in excitement. After taking some good shots in there, I walked inside the building and went to where he’s press conference is.

“Pass please,” the guard stopped me, asking for my press pass.

I took it out from my pocket and showed it to him. After checking the QR code in there he nods at me so I continue walking inside.

I sit down to the rear seat. I opened the camera of my cellphone and took a shot of it to add in my stories. Netizens will make a fuss after seeing this.

“Hey,” I heard someone whispered and tapped my shoulder.

I looked up and saw a familiar face so I stood up and bowed to her, “Hello, Ms. Lee,” I greeted her.

I heard her chuckles, “Let’s take a seat,” she replied then we both sat down. “How much Jeon offered you?” she asked.

“₩100,000 minimum,” I simply answered at her while she’s gently placing her laptop in front of her.

“Not bad,” she commented in plain tone.

“₩100,000 can’t bail me out,” then I laughed a little.

“I’m not sure also,” she joked and laughed with me. “He really trusted you with this,” she added.

“He said I’m good,” I replied.

She moved her gaze to me while smiling. “Do your work properly then,” she stated so I nodded.

Ms. Lee is a senior writer in ENB and she knows my work and why am I working.

After a couple of minutes the live countdown started that followed by the press conference. Park Sunghoon confidently answered all of them without letting his smiles fade.

I leveled my eyesight in the camera’s viewfinder and focused it to him. I was about to press the shutter button when I meet his gaze in there. He’s smiling so bright that made me quickly captured it.

I immediately checked that picture and it made me thought of something.

It seems like to all the photos I’ve taken both legally and illegally in this camera, this is the most beautiful one.

“Oh, that’s a good shot!” Ms. Lee complimented as she saw the picture in the screen.

I chuckled, “Hahahaha! Luck,” I replied.

I already went out before the conference wrap up so I can follow where Sunghoon is going to. After a couple of minutes I saw him talk to one of his staff and walks alone.

I took that chance to follow him secretly and captured his every move until I realized where he is heading to.

He went inside the male comfort room and washed his hands so I also sneaked in and walks inside a cubicle while leaving a small gap in the door and still taking pictures of him.

He advanced to the cubicle so I went out from where I am after his doors closed. I am currently washing my hands when I noticed a black iPhone in the side of the sink.

I know that this is his so I didn’t hesitate to press its power button and took a capture of his lockscreen display with my phone. I heard a sound of flush in his cubicle so I hid my phone inside my jacket.

I turned around, ready to go already when I heard him speaks, “Excuse me?”
