The Demon’s Angelic Love - Chapter 148

They finished the practice so late at night. They only had a day to practice, and both Michy and CM were working hard to prepare for their showcase tomorrow.

The two idols were going to perform together for the first time tomorrow, but Gareen didn’t give them a complicated choreography because the time was tight.

They didn’t have much time to memorize the choreography, and the choreographer decided to teach them some simple moves.

Gareen was tired because he just returned from abroad, so he mostly gave guidance with his words only. Both Michy and CM were not newbies in dancing, and it wasn’t difficult for them to understand the man’s pointer.

They would sing a ballad song tomorrow, and that song didn’t need a choreography. Earlier they practiced for a special performance when they would sing and dance together.

Talking about the earlier moment, Gareen didn’t reply to Michy’s question that sounded so solemn. Instead, the man just ruffled the silver locks again before ordering the two idols to get ready for practice.

Getting no response from the older man, Michy didn’t protest and just obeyed the man’s order. Azren didn’t know why, but he could see Michy heave a sigh of relief when he got no response from the choreographer.

Some people said that no news meant good news, and perhaps for Michy, no answer meant good news as well.

The demon could only shrug because he couldn’t read the idol at all. Michy was acting mysteriously again, and he didn’t want to blindly judge the idol’s attitude. That was why he chose to remain quiet as he waited for the idol to finish the practice.

Thankfully, Felice was there with him in the practice room, so he didn’t have to feel awkward in the room. Felice was talking to him all the time, and he used the opportunity to ask about Gareen.

[“I can see that Michy respected Gareen a lot, Felice. Do they have a close relationship?”

Talking about another person behind their back was not good, but Azren couldn’t hold back because he was curious.

Sitting on the cold floor in the practice room, Felice leaned her head on the wall as she answered, “Michy sees Gareen just like he sees his uncle. Gareen has received a lot of help from Michy’s adoptive parents in the past, and that’s why Gareen always tries to pay the debt by treating Michy well.”

Azren finally could understand the situation. He knew that Michy was not a polite boy, and he only respected Willem and Tallie before Azren found out that the boy respected Gareen too.

“Oh, and you have to know one thing, Azren,” Felice spoke again. “Michy was not very confident of his dancing skill a few years ago, but Gareen kept supporting him until Michy gained his confidence. That’s why Michy sees Gareen as a hero.”

Azren was quite surprised by Felice’s words. In his eyes, Michy was a confident idol, whether when he was singing or dancing. He didn’t expect that the boy felt insecure with his talent in the past.

“That’s why Michy is working hard in front of Gareen,” Azren replied while staring at the idol who was still practicing energetically. “I only hope Gareen wouldn’t turn his back on Michy even if Michy was not his cute and innocent boy anymore.”

The statement from Azren surprised Felice, and the female manager questioned the man, “What do you mean, Azren?”]

That was his conversation with Felice a few hours ago, but Azren didn’t answer the question. Instead, he chose to talk about another topic.

So many hours had passed, and finally, the choreographer clapped his hands, causing the two idols to stop dancing.

“It’s already midnight, and we better end our practice here,” Gareen spoke after clapping his hands proudly. “You two have worked hard, and now you better go home and rest.”

It was finally the end of the practice, and the two idols were drenched in sweat as they tried to catch their raging breath.

Gareen could see how the two youths were tired, and he smiled sheepishly before he continued, “I’m sorry that I trained you so hard that you even skipped dinner. After you get home, you two better get something to eat so you won’t be starving tonight.”

They indeed skipped dinner because of Gareen’s ambition. Gareen wanted to finish the practice as soon as possible, so he chose to continue teaching the idols some movements instead of letting the two idols get something to eat.

Now the man displayed a guilty expression on his face, and he looked worried that the two youths would pass out anytime.

“We will eat after we reach home,” Michy replied as he wiped the sweat on his forehead.

“Michy is right,” Felice chimed in as she walked towards the three people. “CM has some maids at home, and they will cook for her for sure. And for Michy…” she paused as she glanced at Michy and Azren. “Michy also has a personal cook at home. He sometimes couldn’t even stop praising his personal cook’s talent.”

The idol widened his azure eyes upon hearing Felice’s statement. His cheeks flushed once again, and it didn’t go unnoticed by the blonde demon who was standing next to Felice.

‘So, Michy was secretly praising me behind my back? He’s not always seeing me as a useless assistant?’ Azren tried to suppress his smile as he kept glancing at the young idol.

Michy refused to look at the assistant and chose to stare at the choreographer instead. “You don’t need to listen to Felice’s nonsense. I don’t have any personal cook at home,” he tried to explain the real situation to the older man.

However, Gareen’s cold expression was unfazed when the man turned to Azren again. “Now I can see that you’re not just an assistant for Michy,” he suddenly spoke to the man.

That statement stunned the four people in the room.

“What do you mean, Gareen?” Michy spoke again with a confused expression on his face. “Azren is just my assistant, and you have heard the news that I’m dating a girl now, right? I don’t have any relationship with him.”

When Michy clarified his relationship with Azren in front of Gareen, he didn’t even want to peep at the blonde.

For some reason, Azren felt a pang in his heart when he heard the clarification from the blue-eyed idol, but he remained silent.

“You are still young, and you are so contradictive with your words, Michy,” Gareen replied as he slung his bag on his shoulder. “Earlier you asked me whether you would still be my baby or not if you were gay, but now you’re trying to assure me that you don’t have any relationship with your assistant and that you’re dating a girl. Don’t you realize that you’ve been acting inconsistently, Michy?”

Michy was startled, maybe he didn’t expect that the man would say that to him.

But he silently reflected as he just realized that he had been acting inconsistently. He didn’t even know why he bought up the topic about him being gay in front of Gareen, and he looked perplexed now.

The silver-haired idol seemed to lose in his thought, and he flinched when he felt a tap on his shoulder. When he looked up, he saw that it was Gareen who was patting his shoulder.

“You are still young, and you still have time to find your happiness, Michy,” the older man spoke again. “But your father told me to help him take care of you, so I have to make sure that you will be happy in your life. I will support whatever decision you are going to make.”

Flashing another smile at the blue-eyed idol, Gareen then started walking away from the four people. Those people could only stare at the man’s departure with a mixed feeling, and Michy was the one who looked confused the most.

“Gareen was just acting weird like usual, Michy. As a choreographer, he always said that he could read someone’s feelings just by looking at their gestures, but I think he only talked nonsense just now,” Felice broke the silence and grabbed the attention of the three people. “It’s so late already, so we better go home now. Let’s go,” she continued.

Michy and Azren were hesitant, but they decided to comply with the manager’s order as they started walking towards the door. They were walking behind Felice and CM, and they could see that Felice was about to open the door if the door didn’t open from the outside first.

The four people were startled when they saw Willem was the one who opened the door, and actually, that wasn’t the only reason why Azren looked so surprised when he met Willem once again.

The blonde demon was shocked because Willem was not alone. A familiar demon was standing right behind the boss of Seventius.

‘Why is he here?’ He wondered.
