​

​

Whooo

​

“… … .”

​

I was watching a plane take off at San Diego International Airport.

​

‘I thought they would take me to San Francisco by car because they sent a driver… ‘

​

But that wasn’t it.

​

The driver Olivia sent took me to San Diego International Airport, where I arranged a flight to San Francisco.

​

“I didn’t know you would come to the airport.”

​

“To get to San Francisco by car, it takes about 9 hours to drive from here. It takes a ridiculous 10 hours, even taking breaks in between, so if you leave after breakfast, you have to have dinner when you arrive.”

​

The driver smiled brightly and handed me the bag. He was holding it as a porter until he boarded the plane.

​

“On the other hand, if you take a plane, you still have time until lunch even after eating breakfast. You can easily get there in 2 hours. Do you have a fear of flying?”

​

“It can’t be. Honestly, I think I could somehow survive if I jumped without a parachute.”

​

“Hahaha. You are a fun person. Well, I hope you have a nice trip.”

​

“Aren’t you going with the driver?”

​

“I have to return the rented car first. When you arrive at the San Francisco airport, someone else will be waiting for you.”

​

The driver said those last words and disappeared somewhere.

​

It’s not an island like Jeju Island, but you travel by plane within the same land mass… It felt a little strange, yet fun.

​

​

​

[Passengers, our flight has arrived at San Francisco International Airport. Do not unfasten your seat belt until the plane comes to a complete stop, and check nearby to see if you have forgotten anything. Hope to see you again. thank you.]

​

As I boarded the plane and settled in, I arrived in San Francisco in the blink of an eye.

​

In this way, I thought I could have lunch at Olivia’s house or eat lunch at a nearby restaurant.

​

“Anyway, I said there was someone who could guide me… I don’t really see anyone like that.”

​

I got off the plane and left the platform, but the guide the driver had mentioned was nowhere to be seen. Thinking it might be because I arrived too early, I decided to wait in the corner of the terminal outside the airport.

​

‘Let’s see, shall we turn on the broadcast for a moment?’

​

It was the first broadcast since I announced that I was going to the United States to see Comic Con.

​

It wasn’t an unauthorized hiatus, but it was clear that viewers were dissatisfied as the show had been shut down for almost a week.

​

​

[Just Chatting/ Hello California!]

​

-Bang On

-It’s been a really long time.

-Minho haha

-It’s here!

-Let’s go~

-I thought you stopped broadcasting.

-Fuck hello. It’s time to enjoy everything alone.

​

​

As soon as I turned on the broadcast using my smartphone, viewers flocked to the show.

​

“It’s been a while.”

​

As I was moderately accepting their greetings, a question coming up in the chat window caught my eye.

​

-Why does it take so long to turn on the broadcast? What happened?

​

“Um, what’s going on… ”

​

For a moment, the riot that took place in front of the convention center and the incident involving the old man named Rogers and Ignis flashed through my mind.

​

“Nothing happened at all.”

​

​

-I heard there was a riot at Comic Con. Minho, were you okay?

-Really

-I was a little worried when I saw that.

-You should also post a separate notice!

-I read the article and it said that some Kosher was the one who beat up all the riot leaders and got all fucked up haha.

-Hero appears lol

​

​

“I was eating at a nearby restaurant at the time. Fortunately, everything was cleaned up when I came outside.”

​

I avoided answering as much as possible to slightly sensitive questions that were difficult to answer.

​

“I refrained from broadcasting as much as possible due to Comic Con security issues and the fear of going abroad and being criticized for being a nuisance. I took some photos and videos, but when I have time, I will edit them and upload them to the channel.”

​

​

-Why did you turn on the broadcast now?

-Statement of conviction~

-omg

-Be quiet and then turn off the broadcast.

-ㄹㅇㅋ

​

​

“I just turned it on for a moment while I was waiting in front of the airport. Should I turn it off then?”

​

​

-No, no.

-manager! Ban that bastard!

-There is no manager here, Lee Min-ho cut it himself haha.

-The physicality of the knife is crazy.

​

​

It was when I was interacting with viewers and talking about the places I visited in San Diego.

​

Secretly~

​

Wow!

​

“Minho~!”

​

I felt someone slowly approaching behind me, and then they hugged my back with both arms.

​

​

-????

-Who is it?

-Do you think there will be some controversy about this?

-Are you really a girlfriend?

-You look like a foreigner?

-I’m so excited about the chat lol.

​

​

Of course, that scene was captured on the camera that was recording my face. I could clearly feel in the chat that the viewers were taken aback by the sight of the woman suddenly appearing and hugging my back.

​

“Olivia?”

​

‘Was Olivia the guide the driver was talking about?’

​

“Surprise! You didn’t know I would come in person, did you?”

​

“Yes, of course… No wait. I’m on air.”

​

This was the difference between the schedule in San Francisco and the schedule in San Diego.

​

Permission was given to broadcast.

​

Olivia’s family also knew that I was a private broadcaster, so they allowed me to stay in the United States for a long time at their invitation so as not to damage the broadcast.

​

‘Still, it’s a bit awkward to point a camera anywhere without notice. I should only turn it on when I’m moving around and when I’m alone in the guest room.’

​

And the feeling of appearing on a broadcast after mentally preparing and suddenly being caught on camera in everyday life felt quite different from the perspective of accepting it.

​

“Is it okay for my face to appear on TV?”

​

I asked Olivia because she seemed to have more qualms about appearing on the show than I thought, even after looking at the camera. It could be a sensitive topic, so if she showed signs of reluctance, I planned to stop broadcasting or cover the camera.

​

“Are you okay?”

​

“… You asked for a mosaic on the video taken in Saipan, right?”

​

“Of course! I drank too much water and was brought out with rolled-up eyes. How can I just show such an ugly appearance on TV? Even if my dad didn’t ask me to, I would have made him cover it somehow!”

​

“… … .”

​

While I was momentarily speechless at that extraordinary answer, Olivia put her face to my smartphone and introduced herself.

​

“Hi! My name is Olivia! Minho saved my life in Saipan, so I invited him in return! I happened to be coming to the US for Comic Con, so it worked out well!”

​

‘They say that today’s generation is very familiar with smartphones and social media… ‘

​

I’m still in my 20s, but seeing Olivia’s ability to adapt made me feel like I was mentally old.

​

​

-I don’t know what you’re talking about, but it’s funny haha.

-Look at Lee Min-ho’s expression haha.

-You already look excited haha.

-lol

-Wow, talking is refreshing.

-Isn’t Comic Con just an excuse to come and meet him?

-This is a guest.

​

​

“… I’m not a guest. I’m just an ordinary person. I’ll try to keep it out of the screen as much as possible, so you shouldn’t keep looking for it. If you say something harsh, a lawyer may contact you, so be careful while chatting.”

​

​

-ㅇㅇㅋ

-All the kids who don’t notice have already been scammed.

-When a strange chat came up before, the host cut it off at almost program-like speed, haha.

​

​

Although they were communicating with viewers in Korean, Olivia opened her mouth next to her as if she had guessed the content.

​

“Guest? How did you know Minho was coming to our house as a guest?”

​

​

-???

-what?

-Wasn’t it just a tour guide?

-This s***…

-why? What did you say?

-I heard you invited me to your house?

-Kuhhh… This envious bastard… !

-omg

-After all, the West is the answer.

-What

-This bastard… !

-You, that’s a crime!

-I see a lot of people getting caught in chat haha.

​

​

Naturally, the chat window burst into flames once more.

​

​

-Did you two go to Comic Con too?

​

​

“No, Comic Con is different… ”

​

“Olivia couldn’t go with us because we had other plans. It must be because of school, right?”

​

Olivia stopped her from saying anything. There was no choice because there was no end to the story about Jeong Soo-jin. She glared at me for a moment and then nodded.

​

​

-nice… Lee Min-ho’s English pronunciation is really annoying.

-Ah haha, I’m looking forward to this more than Comic Con.

-So, are you filming a vlog while staying here?

-That would be fun too.

-Let’s feel like traveling abroad in the corner of our room.

​

​

“I will proceed with that depending on the situation. I think it’s probably possible, but I’m not sure.”
