124. Bethet
A week has passed since I last had a meal with my damn friends.
[Scheduled to be released at 6 PM tonight!]
After replying to a call from my manager who had been infrequent for a while, I tapped a grain of rice with a spoon.
“Umm…”
I’m nervous.
The vacation is already half over.
January isn’t over yet, so there’s still a little more than half left, but I haven’t achieved anything yet.
I had already quit my part-time job a while ago, so my living expenses now are all pocket money I receive from my parents.
I don’t know if my celebrity life will be a huge hit, but it is true that money is tight at the moment.
“Why? “Who is it?”
I took a deep breath while eating and Doa, who was sitting across from me, asked me.
“Manager.”
“But?”
“A brief episode of that drama will be uploaded today.”
“Wow! Amazing, Great! What time is it?”
Doa was happy as if it were her own business, and as soon as she came out, she excitedly asked to see him together.
“Oh my. But I don’t really like that…”
“Still, I have to watch just one episode I filmed.”
“And the content is just not fun to watch!”
I didn’t like the collection of fake idiots, and I also didn’t like the fact that my shameful friends were revealed after watching it.
“I can’t say it’s fun even with empty words, but as long as oppa’s face looks cool, it’s the best. “It’s all like that.”
Doah said she couldn’t spare much time in the evening because there was a broadcast today.
We wanted to go in after a cup of coffee, so we sat down at the cafe we always go to and ordered the menu we always eat.

“I like green tea latte.”
Doa put her mouth to the mug with both hands and smiled happily.
“Oppa, isn’t it cold? “You drink that.”
“Just. What…”
You drink something cheap rather than delicious.
It’s not that it doesn’t taste good.
“Anyway, do you guys have any news about the album?”
When I heard it before, I even heard that the goal was to release a total of 3 albums.
Considering her remaining years, a song would have to be released at least once every four months.
“Hmm… I guess they are having a meeting inside right now. But I guess we are in a somewhat passive position.”
“…Passive?”
“So, if the company asks me to do this, I feel like I do that.”
It was only after Doa shrugged her shoulders that I understood the meaning.
“Hmm… I see.”
“I’m not an aspiring singer, but isn’t everyone like that? “Whether you’re an actor or anything else, just tell your agency to do it.”
If you think about it, I didn’t think it was something I should say after rushing into the filming set without even knowing what it was.
“What I am currently preparing for is a solo concert.”
“That’s right.”
“Do you know that I’m really burdened because I’m number 1?
Doa smiled but shook her head as if she was annoyed.
“Wow… I’m still having doubts about cover songs. “Songs worth singing at that time.”
“Really?”
Our Luca land.
What kind of song are you singing to touch the hearts of the Pingtuk group?
“Has anything been decided?”
“Well… It’s not confirmed, but I think I’ll do a YM idol song and an animation OST or something.”
“Maybe it’s because it’s the same company, but wouldn’t it be a bit awkward to sing a song by a singer from another company?”
“I don’t think it goes that far, but the PD said it would be nice to have one.”
Still, there were many famous songs by singers from YM.
Of course, Doa would know a lot.
“Do you have a separate song you want to sing?”
“I’m already going crazy because of that… So this is it. “I feel like there’s a song I want to sing, but I don’t know if it suits me well.”
Should I say this is like a middle school career class?
What I want to do and what I have to do.
I was worried about what to do first.
“What is it? “That…”
Doa took out her cell phone from inside the pocket of her fluffy-looking white fleece and just showed me the playlist.
“This and this… Are my favorites… And here are the candidates. “Songs I’m thinking about.”
I picture Doa in places I am not looking at.
When I imagined Doah sitting in front of the monitor, scrolling through the pages and singing to herself, I suddenly felt like I was going crazy because Doah was so cute.
“So… I tried singing this at a karaoke room last time… Oppa. Are you listening to me?”
Doa frowned, perhaps sensing her unbearable laughter.
“Ah. “Of course I’m listening.”
“But why are you smiling? Is it funny that I sing this? “Ugh?”
Doa thrusts her cute fist in front of me.
“Just because it’s cute. “I imagine I’ll be doing that alone in the studio where I’ll be meeting you.”
“How cute is that? I’m working really hard. I don’t know because I haven’t tried it. “It’s so burdensome when people flock to you and ask questions.”
“Shall I try it too? Virtuber?”
It was a joking comment, but Doa’s reaction was cold.
“No. “I don’t think you’ll be very popular.”
“…That’s harsh.”
“And honestly, if I’m going to broadcast it, I’ll just show my face. “Why do you leave behind a face that looks like a plate and pay money to buy another plate?”
I was speechless at Doa’s surprisingly realistic reaction.
“Oppa. Nowadays, the company does this and that. “When I first started broadcasting as an individual, I made it all with my own money.”
I never took the broadcast lightly, but Doa spoke passionately as if she was offended by what I said.
“Okay. Okay. “I knew you had a hard time even before I started talking to you at school.”
Isn’t it one of the original Pintuks that resided in Luca’s room during the Hakko era?
I was proud of the name Lucario.
“At that time, when I first confessed, I was Luca Kim. Would you accept it if I did it?”
It was a difficult question.
If Doa asks from the beginning to date me because I am Luca…
“I don’t think that was….”
“Why?”
“It just so happened that I started talking to you and going out to hang out with you, so we became close friends.”
No matter how much I like Luca, it would have been unreasonable if I had zero information about the human Kim Do-ah.
“Of course, the fact that you are Luca is very important to me, but… Um… I thought about it, but in the end, I think I would have said something like, let’s just say no or give it a good try so we can get to know him.”
“Oppa. I really like those words. “Let’s find out.”
I suddenly remembered the words I had said and felt my ears getting hot.
“No. What. “Now you just need to know better.”
When I felt embarrassed and took a sip of cold coffee, Doa pulled her cheek as if she thought I was cute.
“Ugh~ Testimony~”
Now I felt like I couldn’t live without Doa.

It wasn’t even called a drama screening… But anyway.
With all the lights turned off, we lay side by side on my bed and set up our tablets.
6 PM.
Doa said she only saw this and that she had to go to the studio.
“Oh…! It’s up! It’s up! Let’s see right away!”
When Doa’s index finger tapped the center of the tablet, Episode 3 of [Love Rides the Waves.] Was uploaded there.
Miss… I’m embarrassed…
This must have been how I felt when I watched the Luca clip I was meeting.
I began to understand a little why Doa was bleeding so much when she was watching Luca’s video.
As expected, the background is high school.
As I watched it on the screen, I saw the familiar main characters chatting loudly in the classroom.
Originally, it’s good to watch these things without thinking too much, but I ended up watching them nervously, wondering when I would come out.
After school, I came back after a little tiki-taka.
There was a close-up of the scene where Shin Gyu-min, the idiot who I highly disliked, was leaving school.
I was able to feel it instinctively.
If you go into this alley, I will come out.
Doa dangled her eyes fixed inside her screen.
The sound of my saliva swallowing was especially loud.
Shin Gyu-min and the male protagonist enter the alley while chatting leisurely.
This was the exact alley where I filmed.
[Hey. Kyu-min. Couldn’t it have just been you bringing the workbook?]
[But it’s a bit hard to do that… Hyerin might feel bad…]
[What kind of hypocrisy is Taryeong! Hey! What kind of thing does a man do!]
[What do you know!]
Gyu-min Shin raises his voice for the first time despite the concept of being a b*tch.
[No! Me before that too! I said I didn’t want to do it, but you!]
The sound of trudging footsteps is heard.
Ah… Shiba… Wait a minute…
The heads of the two people who were having a conversation turn towards the camera.
The person who soon appeared was no one but me.
[Otaku bastards need to make fun of themselves.]
Not going to lie, I wondered if Watashi could appear more like a third-rate villain than this.
As soon as I appeared, Doa was busy holding back her laughter, whimpering next to me.
[Hey! It’s true! Jump out!]
A group of protagonists who run away as soon as they see me.
Now I finally know the story behind it that I didn’t know about.
The reason I didn’t have any more lines was because the kids ran away as soon as they saw me.
I originally said it was a role where I didn’t say a word.
Anyway, it seemed like he fulfilled his role as a cameo properly.
Because it appeared at the very end, the video ended after about 5 minutes.
I looked at Doa’s face after she let out a short sigh.
“Aww, my brother did a good job~”
Doa stroked my hair as if she were treating Pingtukdan and then gave me a kiss on the forehead.
“Ah. Hey. “Don’t be a goroshi.”
“As an otaku, I’m sorry for being so picky. Brother. Sobbing.”
The sight of Doa suddenly pretending to cry made me feel sad.
“Hzmrg. Kim Do-ah.”
“Why? Are you going to leave a comment too?”
Doa enters the comment window as if she wants to leave a real comment.
Bethet was waiting for us there…
[Kim Jin-jin is so good;; What is that actor’s name?]
It was a comment that was quite distant from the story.
