107. Meeting
“Really?”
When I contacted them, they acted as if they were going to reject me unconditionally.
Even though he had already finished his drink, my brother was fiddling with the paper straw.
“Yes. “I just wanted to hear the story.”
“Uhm… Well. “Listen carefully and make a decision.”
After listening to the conversation, it seemed like detailed conditions were not discussed.
That’s why I didn’t think there was anything to discuss about whether his decision was good or bad.
Literally, they come after hearing the real explanation.
Rather, I thought that being interested in a new field in itself was a positive thing.
“It’s such a big company that I don’t think they’ll scam rookies or anything like that, but you never know.”
“Hey. If you think about it that way, you should look at it better. “You signed this contract.”
“I did well, right? “And you talked to other members and reported very thoroughly?”
“Okay. Okay. “I’ll take care of it.”
My brother probably thought I was nagging him again and patted my head telling me not to talk anymore.
“Ah! That’s it, there’s a ski resort.”
This was my first trip that I decided to go on with my brother.
As someone who loved snow, I already felt my heart pounding just hearing the name.
If I go, I have to go sledding and build a snowman with my brother.
“Yes!”
“Is that because I found out about this place?”
After tapping my phone, my brother sent me two links.
“The street is a little closer here, but the scale is a little smaller, and this place is bigger. But it’s far.”
In short, there are long and short sides.
“Umm… What’s the price?”
“The price is a little more expensive the further away you go.”
After carefully looking at the website, I took out the sword of decision.
“Go far!”
“Far away?”
“Yes.”
We both had the mindset to do it right for the first time.
“Then what about the date? “Like I said before?”
“Yes. “I will make the reservation.”
It was a vacation I didn’t know when I would come back again.
Of course, there is a high probability that it will happen again after the 2nd album promotions are over, but we still don’t know when that will happen.
“Okay. Then you do it and tell me how much to send.”
“I understand.”
I said I would understand, but I had no intention of accepting money.
How much should I charge for transportation to get there?
Considering that I would receive a settlement, I thought I could do this much.
When I thought of my brother’s surprised and happy face, a huge smile appeared on my face.
“Why are you smiling like that?”
Just before a drop of saliva falls from the mouth.
My brother wiped my lips with his finger.
“Ah. “Just say it in words.”
“What were you thinking when you smiled so big?”
“It’s a secret.”
The content was a secret, and I didn’t really want anyone to know that I was imagining my brother’s appearance.
“Ugh…”
My brother raised his arms high and stretched.
“What are we going to broadcast today?”
“I don’t know?”
If we broadcast 3-4 times a week, there were things that had to be done more than twice.
At the time of the merger, there was no need to worry about content, and if there were any requests from advertisements or other companies, that was enough.
Practically, I could only adjust it at will once, or at most twice.
“…It’s been a while since the VR World broadcast was good?”
“Look! Taemin Han. “It’s been a while.”
No matter how long it’s been since the New Year’s special, I thought it was happening again.
No. And I even went on a one-on-one date with him.
It was difficult to look at it positively as he was still obsessed with VR Luca.
“No… Well… I haven’t been to VR World much these days.”
“It’s been less than a week since the annexation?”
“Because it is a joint broadcast and not a personal broadcast…”
I laughed at my boyfriend’s strange counting method and nodded half-heartedly.
“Ah… Yes… I understand…”
“Are you really doing this?”
When you say you’re going to a ski resort, you open your eyes like that.
I clenched my fist and suddenly hit my brother on the head.
“No! “I won’t do it!”
“Hey. “If you’re not going to do it, don’t bother hitting me.”
“No? Oppa, you like things that suit me. “I’m asking you to meet me through chat.”
Puk, puk, puk, puk. My brother giggled and laughed mischievously as I hit him on the shoulder and head with his fist.
“Ah~ The reward is sweet~ Luca-tan~”
“Wow… I can’t live… I really can’t survive…”
A man who looks like this may be rare, but a man with a face like this is even rarer.
“Doya.”
He calls my name softly.
“Luca will become more popular in the future, right?”
I thought it was a bit of a random question.
“What… Right? Wouldn’t that be true?”
The company and members predicted that if the group was not embroiled in another major controversy, the number of fans would gradually increase.
“I hope things get better.”
The atmosphere was a little different from before, so I poked my brother in the side for no reason.
“What is it? Suddenly. “Why are you talking so seriously?”
“Ah. Just. And what. It’s not like I said anything strange. Why.”
Although I felt a little uncomfortable, I shook my head as if to tell him not to worry.
“Oppa. Don’t worry. It’s going to be perfect, so my brother tells me to renew my subscription! “Okay?”
“…Sure!”
I was hoping that my vacation would start as soon as possible.
* * *
Sleeping in late has become a habit since vacation began, but not today.
“Whoa.”
After taking a short breath, I stand in front of the mirror.
From noble mtl dot com
I shaved cleanly and diligently applied toners and lotions that I don’t often apply.
Well, today was the day to meet people from YM.
To be honest, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous.
I wonder how many people are so big that they wouldn’t be scared when they hear that a large agency is coming to take me.
I was full of doubts about myself because it was difficult to even have a conversation with someone younger than me.
-Weeeing
I started to tremble at the sound of my cell phone vibrating, but fortunately it wasn’t the people I was afraid of.
[Uh. Doya.]
[Brother. Did you go out?]
[No. Yet. Why?]
[Why~ I just called because I wanted to tell you to do well.]
When I heard Doa’s voice, I felt like my heart calmed down.
Yes. I’m doing it because of Luca. This.
As I thought that I was going there for Doa, the complicated thoughts gradually faded away.
[I’ll do well.]
[Or my brother. Do you want to stop by my house later after that?]
[Are you okay with the time?]
[Ah. Yes. I have work to do, but I don’t think it will matter since I’m just doing it at home alone on the computer.]
[Then I’ll call you when I’m done.]
[I understand. I love you. Brother.]
As if something pleasant had happened today, Doa on the other end of the phone was extremely lovely.
[I love you too. Doya.]
After saying those words, I hung up the phone and carefully buttoned my shirt.
I thought I looked pretty good, wearing a black jacket over a white shirt.
Do you want to look like a celebrity? If this happens.
It’s funny to look good in front of people in the industry, but it was impossible to wear sweatpants and slippers.
After putting on my coat, I went out the front door and went down to the famous chain coffee shop near the bus stop.
I opened the glass door and looked around inside, and the manager I saw before was waving his hand from inside.
“Taemin! Welcome!”
I arrived in front of the table, bowing my head awkwardly.
A man in a suit I had never seen before was waiting for me.
He looks to be in his mid to late 30s…
“Hello. “My name is Lee Seong-ho, and I am the team leader of the YM casting team.”
“Ah… Yes… Hello…”
“Taemin, if you want a drink, please let us know! “I’ll go quickly and get it ready.”
“Then, that iced Americano…”
“Okay! “Let’s talk~”
When the manager disappeared, what remained were two men.
My throat was so burnt that I quickly waited for my drink to arrive.
“As expected, as Yeji said, you have a great mask.”
The eyes of the person called the team leader were scanning my face here and there like a hawk stalking its prey.
“He’s definitely a friend I’ve worked with before, so he has a good perspective.”
“Thank you.”
“Mr. Taemin. “I also made a cake just in case you got bored. Please try some of that too.”
The manager handed me coffee and also handed me a cake.
I took the coffee, slightly lowering my head, and drank it down as hard as I could.
I felt like I was going crazy because this place was so uncomfortable.
“So… What specifically are you talking about…”
When I expressed that I was ready to listen, the team leader took out a tablet from his bag and began explaining.
If I were to work full-time right now, what kind of support would I be able to provide, how would the profits be distributed, etc.?
I don’t think the conversation will make any progress if I ask questions one by one about things I don’t know.
I just nodded my head except for the essential parts.
“Is there anything you don’t understand or have additional questions about from what I’ve explained so far?”
The same comment as a professor gave after class.
I sensed that it was finally time to say what I wanted to ask the most.
“Hey, if I accept this offer…”
Yes. This is what I came to say.
I have to achieve my goal and go back.
“Doa… No. Luca. “How much support can you get?”
Only one corner of the team leader’s mouth went up.
