Bomyeong sat in his seat without saying a word all day, trying to hide his strangeness as much as possible. It seems that his appearance was not much different from his usual appearance. It was fortunate.

Watching the lunch hour, a couple of children, including Yoon Jin-seong, seemed to be close friends with Kang Do-wook. Although he seemed noisy and obnoxious, he was more interested in playing than other children and did not seem to be of bad quality at all.

Bomyeong checked his watch while learning mathematical formulas that he already knew.

‘Five o’clock. ‘It’s barely time for school to end.’

By this time, Bo-myeong had roughly figured out Kang Do-wook’s school life. Perhaps because of his usual class demeanor, Do-wook was staring blankly at the blackboard, causing the teachers to ask him why he was attending class. Yun Jin-seong also seemed puzzled and asked if I was sleeping.

Even if I stayed still, close friends flocked in and giggled, and as I passed through the hallway, it was easy to spot one or two girls glancing at me.

Even if Kang Do-wook kept his mouth shut, most people wanted to look good or treated him well.

‘It is truly an enviable life.’

There was no need to go as far as Seo Kang-joon, and it was a life that I would not envy even if I was only as good as Kang Do-wook.

If you only look at his good looks, Kang Do-wook could definitely have become a much more popular star. But the effort wasn’t enough to make that happen. Even though he had a lot of money, the celebrity Kang Do-wook did not put in much effort and had no intention of rising to a higher level. Now I finally understand a little bit about Kang Do-wook and Bo-myeong.

They enjoyed this level of popularity without much effort. There is no need for much effort.

As soon as the bell rang to end class, Jinseong Yoon crumpled his books into his bag. After the finale, school was over.

“That’s Jinseong Yoon.”

Bo-myeong spoke to Jin-seong for the first time today. Since there was no ordinary information about Kang Do-wook, I had to somehow get information about him from my friend Yoon Jin-seong.

“uh? why.”

“What do I do after school?”

“What, let’s drink again? not today. I have to go to the academy. “If I miss today, I’ll tell my mom.”

“…Then what do I do?”

“what? Ah, this idiot. Now the stars. “Are you asking me what you do after school?”

Even thinking about it myself, it was a strange question. However, there was no way to know what Kang Do-wook actually did in his daily life after school. There could also be an academy that Kang Do-wook should go to as well.

“Go to a pub. “If you go, Hyuncheol will be there too, right?”

“PC room?”

All of the things Jinseong Yoon talked about were about meeting someone, eating, and having fun. There was no mention of going to academy or anything like that.

‘hmm. When did Kang Do-wook debut?’

Bomyeong counted the years thoughtfully.

‘nineteen! Kang Do-wook debuts at age 19!

Based on current time, KK will debut in June next year. If you think about it, Kang Do-wook debuted at the age of nineteen.

Since it is now September, there is less than a year left until debut in June next year. Nevertheless, looking at Kang Do-wook’s day, there was no feeling that he would end up in the entertainment industry.

‘How on earth do I debut?!’

***

On the bus on the way home, Bo-myeong looked through the call records and messages on Kang Do-wook’s cell phone. Thanks to this, I was able to learn in detail about the people around Kang Do-wook and his daily life.

“What… I was just having fun.”

The message box was full of chatter about games, girlfriends, etc. Although there was the fact that he recently broke up with a girl from the school next door whom he had briefly dated, I couldn’t find anything related to his studies.

It was clear that Kang Do-wook’s parents, who were professors, were raising him very freely. The only message that Kang Do-wook received from his mother was to tell him to have a good dinner since he got home late.

“How did you come up with the idea of becoming an idol?”

I saw an interview in a magazine when KK debuted. It was right after Man to Man debuted, and since the group was supposed to be a rival to Man to Man, who won the Rookie of the Year award, there was a lot of media coverage in the beginning, so there were many interviews.

‘There must have been an anecdote about debut… I should have read it more carefully then.’

Regret, not regret, came to me, but it was a funny story. It didn’t make sense to know at the time that he would be entering the body of a KK member.

It felt like it was still a dream that lasted for about a day.

‘If this is really real, what happened to my body? ‘Is he dead?’

If something had been twisted and changed, be it time or the soul, what would have happened there? Bomyeong’s mind was confused as to whether he should start looking there. But it was just a thought.

The memories that Kim Bo-myeong could access here were cut off as if one end of a piece of paper had been torn. I felt dizzy just thinking about the personal information I could find here, such as the name of my university or the name of the neighborhood I lived in. As if they were trying to prevent the body of the ‘real Bomyeong’ from being found.

The bus that had stopped at the stop was starting to leave again. Bo-myeong hurriedly stood up, rang the bell, and shouted.

“omg. mister! wait a minute. “I’ll get off!”

I managed to get off at the stop in front of Kang Do-wook’s house while receiving glares from the driver. The bus quickly left its mark and rushed towards the next stop.

“It’s really a mess. Huh…”

My head hurt. I shook my head and came to my senses. I looked at my reflection in the dark glass of the bus stop.

I thought I was making a blank expression, but I didn’t look stupid anymore. Thanks to his sharp eyes, he looked as if his eyes were sharp with agony. I felt that way just because my appearance changed.

‘I am now Kang Do-wook. Whether this is a dream or a given opportunity, anyway, it’s Kang Do-wook now…!’

Bomyeong recalled himself as a freshman in high school. The aftermath of violence on the body and mind was truly terrifying. Even though Seo Kang-jun and his group disappeared from Bo-myeong’s surroundings, Bo-myeong had to live with a dark face and crouched down the whole time.

I straightened my slightly bent shoulders. When I straightened my shoulders, my strong upper body was more clearly revealed even though it had not yet grown.

Bo-myeong looked at that and calmed down. Perhaps because he was like Kang Do-wook, far from Kim Bo-myeong’s dark past, his heart did not break down as easily as before.

Bo-myeong thought he was weak, but in fact, Bo-myeong himself was not that weak. Bo-myeong was a strong human being just because he overcame the violence and continued to live his life. Bomyeong just didn’t know.

After returning home, Bo-myeong was able to get a little more information from Do-wook’s room. At best, it was all Milky Way albums and snapshots that Dowook had collected in his desk drawer. Anyway, for now, it was the only point of contact that could connect Do-wook with the entertainment industry.

‘Could it be that you became an idol because you like Milky Way? Went to the broadcasting station to see Milky Way and got cast? Should I go in front of the broadcasting station… Huh.’

Bomyeong took out the CD of Milky Way’s first album, put it in the CD player, and played it. The cheerful and lively voices of the girls began to echo in the room.

Don’t wait for a new miracle.

Before our eyes, our rough path is an unknown future and a wall.

I don’t change it. I can’t give up.

Bo-myeong placed his fingers on the desk without realizing it and started to rhythm. I nodded and hummed. Suddenly I wondered, how can I sing? I thought about it and opened my mouth.

“I love you, feeling this way… Ugh.”

It was a mess.

The reason Kang Do-wook’s singing level was acceptable after his debut seemed to be because he received vocal training, even if it was only for a short period of time. Bo-myeong pursed his lips and lowered his head for a moment.

A song spit out in a mess. It wasn’t Kim Bo-myeong’s singing voice, which I heard was a lot of singing in my childhood.

“also. “This is not my body…”

I felt embarrassed for some reason. Even though I had someone else’s body, I was filled with the thought that I could become a singer. Bomyeong realized that just now. It felt like I had stolen someone else’s body and it even felt shameless.

But that’s why I felt like I had to do my best while I was in Kang Do-wook’s body. Even if it is not simply because of Bomyeong’s unfulfilled dreams or desire for revenge.

Jiiiing – Jiiiing –

It was then that a vibration rang in the pocket of my school uniform pants.

Seohyun’s older sister.

The name I had seen in my message box was Kang Do-wook’s cousin. As a college student attending a nearby university, he was quite close to Kang Do-wook, sometimes buying him food. To Kang Do-wook, an only child, she was like a real older sister.

‘Can I take this?’

Bo-myung thought for a moment. However, it seemed unlikely that Bo-myeong would be able to imitate Kang Do-wook perfectly even after a few days had passed.

However, even if I wanted to imitate it perfectly, there was no data to find out what Kang Do-wook was like when he was 18. Even if the other person feels a little strange, it is better to keep bumping into them.

“hello?”

-You get it right away? where are you. School is over, right?

“uh. house.”

As I tried to show as little as possible that the person had changed, my speech became shorter. Bo-myeong felt like a cold sweat was breaking out on his back. I felt nervous again like at school.

-Is it your house? That’s good. Come out for a moment. I have something to say.

“Where?”

-You didn’t eat dinner, right? I’ll go to the fast food restaurant in front of your house. Come out in ten minutes. I shoot!

“okay.”

-oh! Why are you so obedient? I guess you wanted to eat a hamburger?

I heard Kang Seohyun laughing in puzzlement over the phone. As expected, it was clear that Kang Do-wook was a bit mean to the people around him.

“What are you saying?”

-Oh, come out first. I’ll be there in about thirty minutes. Understand?

“uh.”

Bo-myeong answered bluntly. Because that was Kang Do-wook’s original appearance, Kang Seo-hyun hung up the phone without feeling strange.

***

“Why don’t you try becoming a celebrity?”

“…celebrity?”

As soon as I brought the hamburger set I ordered and sat down, Seohyun started talking.

‘Is my cousin Kang Seo-hyun going to debut as an idol because she works in the entertainment industry? No, Kang Seo-hyun is still just an ordinary college student.’

Kang Seo-hyun held out a straw to her cola and her eyes sparkled at Do-wook.

“A month later, there was an announcement at HIT that there was an audition! “Why don’t you go out there?”
