The Idol Manager Who Dreams of Quitting

Because of my father’s wish, I suddenly became the manager of a popular idol.

I handled all sorts of menial tasks, played the role of a nanny, and even fulfilled a member’s secret desires. Yet, all I got in return was complete betrayal.

An article accusing me of abusing my position as a manager was published by the company to cover up a member’s mistake.

And the moment even the idol members I had cared for so diligently silently went along with the false article, I decided to quit everything.

“I’m done with being a manager.”

After that, I was living a normal, uneventful life. However, one day, strange things began to happen.

“I’m sorry for deceiving you all. Manager Lee Hyunseok never abused his position with us.”

The idol members finally took my side, and then…

“Hyung, where are you? Come back. We’re waiting for you.”

“I was wrong. Let’s meet and talk first.”

These idol members finally started looking for me.

I had absolutely no intention of going back, yet… why is everyone acting like this all of a sudden?
