Dayo and his family arrived home safely later that night.

There was no noise. No cameras. No chaos.

Well, the reason was quite simple—Dayo picked one of his houses the media didn't know about.

This was one of the perks of being a self-made billionaire.

Arriving everywhere felt cool the feeling of

Just home.

Everyone went straight to their rooms, exhausted from the long journey and the emotional weight of the past few days. Sleep came easily.

***

The next morning, Dayo woke up early.

As always.

He changed quickly and stepped outside for his usual jog. The streets of Jinnistan were quiet, familiar, comforting. His breathing settled into rhythm as his feet moved naturally, muscle memory taking over.

As he jogged, he opened his phone to do his normal stream to check up on his fans.

The moment he went live, more than seventy thousand people joined him.

This was a testament to his popularity and generosity. After all, Dayo was known as a philanthropist, so naturally, he did giveaways.

The comments started flying in.

"Yo, Dayo, up for your morning jog?"

"Good morning, JD. Waking up to see your face is a blessing."

"We saw you in Paris. You sang in Paris too?"

Dayo raised a brow. "News travels fast."

"Fast?" another comment came with a laughing emoji. "That video is everywhere."

Dayo smiled, replying, "Morning to you all. And yes, I'm on my morning jog."

@adiwinga: "You really sang in French. You owe us at home a complete album."

Dayo chuckled. "@adiwinga Now I owe you an album too?"

"Yes!" immediately swarmed the whole comment section.

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

"You've been owing us for more than four years now, Dayo. Release something for us."

He shook his head, amused. "You people don't rest."

"No, we won't rest until you release an album as an apology."

"Hm, yes—congratulations on making history."

"Ah yes, congratulations, JD."

"Congratulations!"

Dayo smiled warmly. "Thank you all for the support and messages."

Then somebody gifted Dayo.

@odowgu gifted JD ×5 Lions.

"Wow, thank you @odowgu for the gift."

And just like that, gifts started flying in.

×10 Roses

×20 Whales

×50 Roses

×100 Lions

×20 Universals

…..

…..

Dayo had a funny smile on his face. He was almost always the one giving, so seeing himself receive gifts from his fans brought a strange grin to his face.

"Oh Dayo, wipe that grin off your face 😂."

"Hehe, he looks like a kid that just received candy."

@jenny: "You two above, leave my cute Dayo alone."

Dayo smiled and nodded. "@jenny tell them."

This brought another round of laughter to the stream. By this point, he had close to half a million people on his live stream in less than forty-five minutes.

After a quick goodbye to his fans, Dayo waved and ended the live stream.

***

After finishing his run, Dayo returned home, took a quick shower, and changed. He moved into the kitchen quietly and started preparing breakfast—nothing heavy, just something simple. Everyone was still tired.

While he was about to head back to his room, his phone rang.

Coach Richard.

Dayo picked up. "Coach, what's up?"

"How are you holding up?" Richard asked. "You've already left Paris, right?"

"Yeah," Dayo replied. Then paused as he remembered something. "Wait… Diana, right?"

Richard sighed lightly. "Exactly."

Dayo rubbed the back of his neck. "Ah, I forgot. I hope she's not annoyed."

"She understands," Richard said. "Don't worry."

Dayo relaxed. "Please help me thank her properly."

"I will," Richard replied. "You two can meet in the U.S. New York would be easier."

"That works."

"I'll send both of you each other's numbers," Richard continued. "Communication will be easier."

"Perfect. Thanks, Coach."

There was a brief pause before Richard asked, "So… what's next for you?"

Dayo thought for a moment. "Honestly? I don't know yet. It depends. How things move. How I feel."

Richard hummed. "International competitions?"

"Maybe," Dayo said. "If everything aligns."

"You already told me not to worry," Richard said with a faint laugh. "And you said you won't lose touch."

"I won't," Dayo replied calmly. "I'll keep training. Every day."

Richard smiled through his voice. "That's enough for me. I trust you."

They spoke briefly about family and health, then ended the call.

****

When Dayo came back out after his bath, his family was already seated.

Breakfast was simple—but warm.

"This is really nice," his mother said.

"Thanks," Dayo replied, sitting down.

After eating, he stretched slightly. "I'm taking one week off. No work."

His siblings reacted immediately. "Finally."

Just then, his phone rang again.

He glanced at the screen.

Min-jae.

Dayo blinked. "Minjae?"

He picked up. "What's up, bro?"

"Sorry I didn't come to your games," Minjae said. "I could've, but things got tight."

Dayo waved it off. "I understand. Handling almost the whole of Asia must be stressful."

"Hehe, you have no idea, Dayo. I'm slaving for you."

"Oh really? I'm sure the shares say otherwise."

They talked briefly—about Korea, about how things were going.

Then Minjae got to the point.

"The Busan project," he said. "Everything's almost set. Locations, crew, schedule. We just need you to come look at the actors and make final selections."

Dayo nodded slowly. "Yeah… I've delayed that for too long."

"You really did," Minjae laughed. "Let's be honest."

"My bad," Dayo admitted. Then paused. "Actually… I want to use this as an experiment."

"Experiment?"

"My directing skills."

Minjae laughed. "Man, having money is really fun for you."

Dayo smiled. "Maybe."

They agreed he would come to Korea soon—give or take a week or two. After settling things, they ended the call.

Ding.

A familiar sound echoed.

Dayo froze slightly.
