DASH

Chapter 106

"Were you on a diet before the broadcast?" Inyeop asked, entering the dressing room where Jihong was preparing for filming.

He glanced at Jaekyung, who was sitting on the couch, and calmly replied, "No, I've just been suffering from gastroenteritis for a few days.

"Really?" What happened, norovirus?

"I don't eat oysters.

"Oh, yes. But where does the intestinal infection come from in winter?

"Who knows. I almost died, but I decided that at least I could withstand the shooting today. So please put yourself in my position.

Sighing, Yingyop drawled skeptically: "Well, the hero of the TV broadcast is straight.

Then, noticing the fierce Jaekyong in the mirror, he immediately fell silent and, leaning over to Jihon, whispered, "Listen, haven't you lost too much weight?"

"They say that the thinner you are, the better you look in the frame.

"In moderation.

"Really?" Don't I look so bad? Jihon asked belatedly anxiously.

Inyop, crossing his arms over his chest, looked at him in the mirror for a while, and then, slapping the makeup artist on the shoulder, said: "Make him up properly, understand?

Well, he enthusiastically fulfilled the request, and even overdid it a little.

"Dude, you don't look like an agent, but like some kind of director or board member," Inyeop said when Jihong was prepared.

— Я выгляжу старым?

— Rather harsh. You radiate charisma. With such a face, you can keep athletes in a tight grip.@@@@

— ...

"Maybe the eyebrows are too dark?"

Since Jaekyung let him go to the TV studio, then he really stopped objecting.

While Jiheon was thinking about this while taking his medicine, Jaekyung, noticing his actions, immediately asked, "Hyun, what are these pills?"

"What else?" From gastroenteritis.

"But you drank them before you left the house. Is it possible to take another one so quickly? Or are you not feeling well?

«... I should have said that these are sedatives," Jihon cursed to himself. "Although no, then he would also begin to find out since when they are produced in such a small dosage."

As Jihong sighed heavily and silently, Inyeop laughed his trademark laughter.

And the make-up artist, grinning, added: "You seem to have a very good relationship. This is the first time I see a star take such care of her manager.

"He's not a manager. Jaekyung frowned, as if what he said sounded extremely strange.

"Oh, really?" The make-up artist looked at me with an expression: "And then who is he?"

Afraid that Jaekyung would say something unnecessary, Jihong hurriedly pointed at Mina and explained, "The manager is him. And I am an employee of the company.

"No, you're not just an employee of the company," Jaekyung said.

Everyone present in the dressing room with a silent question "What does this mean?" shifted their gaze from Jihon to Jaekyong and back again. Even Inyeop held his breath with his eyes wide open.

And finally: "He's my songbae, but he's also a part-time employee," Jaekyung clarified briskly.

And everyone again drawled in unison: "Ah...

"Exactly, he's a former athlete.

"That's it. The manager-nim, that is, sir, it turns out that you are also a swimmer.

The makeup artist and stylist nodded understandingly. And Inyeop said with a sigh: "Oh, well, okay.

Judging by his disappointed face, he was expecting some kind of sensational statement from Jaekyung.
