Press Conference

Early in the morning, Norman had called Justin who was still asleep. Justin grumbled loudly because his manager was very chatty after Justin picked up the call.

"Is he my manager or my grandpa?" Justin grumbled and immediately rushed to the bathroom. He didn't want to hear Norman's ramblings if he knew Justin wasn't ready for the press conference later.

On the other hand, Karina was up even before six o'clock. She was nervous because she'd never had a conference in her life, and now she had to do this in front of the media, along with Justin. She was only afraid if there was an error in her statement in the press later. Karina repeatedly went out and looked at Justin's room, hoping he was awake and would give him further direction on their press later.

"What if I look ugly? So what if they can see my acne?" babbled Karina covering one pimple on her forehead with concealer. "I can't look ugly like that in the bushes," she added and walked away from the mirror. Karina kept pacing around in confusion, she couldn't cover a single pimple on her forehead yet. "Is it time for me to get patchy anyway? It'll be streaky if I'm too thick," she monologued and then left the room. 

"Justin honey!" Karina knocked on Justin's door loudly. "What the hell? Don't scream," Justin said, opening the door. Karina gaped because Justin only used a towel around his waist that covered his knees. The woman was completely gaping until her eyes widened completely. She could clearly see all the muscles on Justin's still wet ab.

"Why are you here?"

"Justin, can I touch that please?" Karina asked pointing at Justin's ab.” No way!!" said Justin spontaneously.

"Just a little bit," Karina pleaded, bringing her index finger and thumb together in a dramatic gesture. "Just a little bit," Justin said, following Karina's movements. "No no no!" he continued and closed the door.

Norman arrived at exactly 8 o'clock and briefed Justin and Karina. "You'll just have to say, if you fainted, and didn’t do anything in the bushes. Then Rina, you also should say that you fell and passed out, show them the wound on your head, Rin," said Norman.

After receiving a briefing from his manager, Justin nodded in understanding. And the three of them prepared to come to the press that was held in a big way in downtown Incheon.

"Justin, don't embarrass me or I'll cut your kidney," threatened the manager after sitting in the car seat, and Justin in the back along with Karina. "Yeah, yeah, really noisy," Justin snapped.

Previously, Norman had arranged a seat in the car, so that Karina and Justin looked like a real couple. Norman laughed seeing Justin's very depressed expression while sitting next to Karina. While Karina herself was grinning at her idol, who was sitting right next to her. 

They went to where the press was held. Honestly, from the bottom of Justin's heart, the dress Karina is currently wearing adds to Karina's aura of being elegant, moreover, her body fits perfectly with the dress that Norman just bought.

"Rina, are you comfortable wearing that dress?" asked Norman. "It's comfortable, I like it. It must be expensive, right?" Karina is enthusiastic. "Even if you use a cheap one, you will still look beautiful, Rin," said Norman. Karina lit up, she was very happy to be praised by Norman.

"Ekhm," Justin suddenly coughed on purpose. Norman glanced at Justin, as did Karina. "Justin, honey, what’s the matter?"

"Nothing, I just choked on a sewer rat," Justin replied without looking at Karina and Norman in front of him. "No wonder you have sewer smells," said Norman, even making Justin smack his manager's head. "Damn!"

"You're the one who said that. I will pinch your kidney right away," Norman was annoyed with Justin, who was unstable and easily angry lately.

Justin's car was parked in front of the building, as usual, they called the bodyguards to open the way. However, it seems that some female fan clubs don't like Karina for being with Justin. One of them almost grabbed Karina's hair, but luckily Karina managed to dodge it. "Not that easy! I'll grab your mouth too huh?!" threatened Karina whispered to the fan club. Justin suddenly put his arm around Karina's shoulder so that Karina wouldn't be far apart, as well as showing that they were a couple.

Karina was shaken in her heart, she wanted to melt on the red carpet she stepped on. If allowed, maybe Karina would scream out of joy. "Justin?" she called him. Justin turned. "I'm scared," she added again. "Afraid of what?" Justin asked curiously, did this woman have fear? "I'm afraid that my pimple will show," she whispered later. Hearing that, Justin wanted to gag Karina's mouth with his tie, but he couldn't do that. How can it be in such a thrilling situation, that Karina is worried about her acne, not her self-esteem being shaken by reporters?

The three of them are now in front of all the media crew who are ready to take pictures and record everything that Justin will explain.

Annyeong hashimnikka yeorobun. Thank you for allowing me to explain the oddity of the other day. First introduce the woman beside me, Karina. The woman you see standing next to me is now my wife, and we are married. So about tempo the day you saw when Karina and I were asleep in the bushes, it was because we fainted. We didn't do anything as obscene as you think. Karina fell and hit her head on a rock. I hope that you guys can wisely accept what I said to explain," Justin explained.

"Justin! Is it true you didn't do anything with that woman in the bushes?" asked a reporter. "No, you can see the wound on my temple, if I fell and passed out," Karina said showing the wound on her temple. Justin didn't realize that he was smiling, because it turned out that Karina could answer quickly and didn't do anything wrong.

"Were you two drunk that day?" asked the same reporter. "Yes, we did get drunk, but we can guarantee that we don't do that kind of thing in the open, let alone the bushes," Karina replied smoothly. Norman gave Karina a thumbs-up gesture, a sign that the girl had successfully launched the press. "This is probably all we can say, thanks for your understanding," Justin took over the microphone and bowed, as did Karina.

But for a moment Justin felt a familiar aura, the aura of a creature attacking him, before finally collapsing in the bushes. Justin's gaze centered on the exit of the building, he saw a shadow of the creature he was looking for, a nine-tailed fox. Justin was shocked and ran leaving Karina in front of the media.
