Return of the Nation's Idol

It took another week for KJ to be discharged. Even though he was still using a walking stick, the movement in his muscles has returned and they no longer ached. 

As soon as he exited the hospital, thousands of fans greeted him. The buildings around the hospital had large posters dangling from the rooftop with 'Welcome back KJ' written on them in giant letters. The screams and shouts of the fans were deafening. 

Cameras flashed around him as reporters tried to hoard him.

"KJ, can you tell us who shot you?" one of them asked.

"Did you see the assailant?" another one demanded.

"Was it really an anti-fan?" 

But they were being kept away from him by the guards and police. The security around him was tightened by ten folds; both Abyss and Mystic Entertainment provided their personnel which included trusted teams from the police, army and even secret service agents.
