264 – The difference between happiness and unhappiness is a piece of paper
Splitting coconuts of conversion.
In retrospect, I thought that I was sincere about something really trivial, but originally, a creature called a man always risked his life for useless things.
Maybe they were stimulated by my encouraging performances, and other male actors and broadcasting station staff who said they use strength came out to the front and challenged themselves once in a while.
Convinced that I was able to pull out the amount of broadcast thanks to the grip test, I smiled and returned to my original seat.
Then, the stage MC, who watched me split all kinds of fruit in half, said something like a joke.
“Why don’t you be honest right now? Mr. Kim, you’re actually not a person, but a gorilla, right?”
“Yes? Is it that obvious?”

As I said that and pretended to grab something from the nape of my neck like a disguised person from a detective cartoon, laughter erupted from the seat next to me.
This is a high school girl combination that Nao introduced to me during break time.
Thanks to our brief conversation, it seems that the psychological hurdles for me have been greatly lowered.
Well, it would have been natural if he had shown this much ugliness.
Anyway, compared to when I just came out, I’m in a pretty good condition, so I was able to drive this momentum and, fortunately, I was able to safely endure until the second half of the broadcast.
“Thanks for your hard work!”
“Good job!”
After the filming was over, all the cast members stood up and applauded.
Of course, I too, swept up in the atmosphere, got up and clapped together, but looking at the friendly atmosphere, it seemed like I made the right choice.
“Yeah~ Today’s filming was all good. Maybe it’s because they’re all good actors.”
When the main PD approached with a typical flattering remark, the actors smiled vaguely and moved away little by little.
Like it or not, the main PD said while pretending to tilt her glass.
“Everyone, if you don’t have any plans after this, how about going out for a drink in the evening?”
Then, while the actors were watching each other, a handsome actor who played the role of Agito, a hot-blooded teacher, the main character in the play, took the lead as a representative.
“I’m sorry, but I have a few more schedules after that. I think I’ll be having a hard time.”
Then, Miyu and Ayaka, who had greeted each other earlier, neatly rejected it, saying, “We also have an appointment today, so I don’t think we can do it.”
It’s a shame because the middle-aged actors who look like people cheered me on, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to fight back.
“Ah, Mr. Kim, if you have time, why don’t you come over to dinner in the evening? I’m thinking of eating beef. Beef.”
“Oh, I…”
The moment I was about to say something in a panic, Nao suddenly interrupted the conversation.
“I’m sorry! PD-nim! My senior has an appointment with me today!”
As I said that, Nao suddenly hugged my forearm.
As a result, the eyes of the other actors and broadcasting staff were instantly focused, but Nao was still smiling while maintaining his own pace.
Her bewilderment, I hurriedly tried to get her off her forearm, but she clung to her like a leech completely and Nao didn’t want to let her fall.
Seeing that, Miyu and Ayaka, who are said to be best friends, giggled.
The main PD, who saw me showing off my friendship unintentionally, had a strange expression, but she soon forced a smile and nodded her head.
“I can’t help it if there is a prior agreement. If you change your mind later, please contact me.”
“Yes.”
As the conversation ended and the disbanding atmosphere began, the actors began to leave the studio one by one.
When the figure of the main PD disappeared from sight, Nao, who fell from his forearm, asked me with a face like a goblin.
“How is it? Did I do well?”
“…What?”
“You helped me turn down an annoying request.”
“Very well done.”
As I said that, I lightly squeezed Nao’s forehead and let out a small sigh.
“I’m the kind of person you won’t see next anyway, but Nao and you aren’t.”
“Anyway, even that PD can’t tell me anything. How much influence my mother has in her broadcasting business.”
As I looked at Nao who smiled proudly while saying that, I thought I was embarrassed for nothing and pulled her pointed nose.
“Apa! Apa!”
Nao has tears in her eyes as she lifts her toes.
The sight naturally stimulated the desire for protection in the viewer, but I knew better than anyone else that these were crocodile tears.
There were a lot of eyes around me, so I let them go right away, but I thought this was enough, so I folded my arms and asked seriously.
“So, how long are you going to like me? Like I said before, I already have a girlfriend.”
“Just because you have a goalkeeper doesn’t mean you can’t score goals.”
“Normal people don’t even think about stealing someone else’s boyfriend, right?”
Let me say it like an admonishment, and come out heung! She grumbled, turning her head.
“So you should have accepted it when I confessed.”
Are you saying you suddenly come out here with a red flag?
I looked at me as if I was absurd, and Nao asked with an impudent expression.
“So who is your girlfriend?”
“Someone you know.”
“Who are you?”
“Rika.”
Nao then opened her eyes slightly wide.
“Is that blonde senior?”
“Yes. So give it up.”
But far from being disappointed with my answer, I muttered with a laugh.
“Then it would be more like fighting. The stronger the rival, the more the flame burns.”
“No, you mean…”
I looked at Nao who was suddenly burning with fighting spirit, but the person concerned didn’t care.
“Naojing! Let’s go soon!”
At that time, when the friends who waited for us from the back called for us, Nao put her hands together and said,
“Senior, I’m sorry, but I’m going to leave today. See you at school.”
After saying that, Nao waved his hand and ran away.
I watched him in amazement.
It was then.
“Ugh!”
A staff member passing by got caught in a wire, and the broadcasting equipment being dragged by the cart lost its balance and began to fall toward Nao.
“Kyaaagh!”
“Dangerous!”
Seeing this, the other people around screamed.
Even Nao looked up with a blank expression, perhaps realizing that fact too late.
A large shadow overlapping her shadow.
There was no time to think.
Just before the camera hit Nao, I jumped out like a dart with my whole body covered in yang.
Boom!!
***
Minato Yoko actually didn’t completely leave her place.
I was thinking of having another serious conversation with Nao, her daughter, after the recording of the broadcast was over.
But she didn’t want others to feel uncomfortable with her presence, so Yoko, who waited inconspicuously in an empty waiting room, returned to her studio to take her daughter as soon as she heard that her broadcast was finished. I’m back.
By the way,
“Kyaaagh!”
“Dangerous!”
The broadcasting equipment that the station staff was dragging on a cart suddenly tilted and lost its balance, and she began to fall toward Nao, her only daughter.
“No!”
She freaked out and ran in front of her.
But the distance is too far.
She was too slow to protect her precious daughter.
That fact made Yoko despair.
What is a great actor and the queen of drama?
In the end, I can’t protect even one important person.
The world went by slowly, like in slow motion.
Nao stares blankly up at her because of the sudden misfortune that has come upon her.
Staff at the broadcasting station hurriedly run towards such a daughter.
And a big man who threw his whole body to protect his daughter.
‘Huh?’
The very next moment,
Boom!!
It was not her daughter who was hit by the fallen broadcasting equipment, but a Korean male student named Yuseong Kim whom she saw for the first time today.
“Crazy!”
“Are you okay?!”
“How do you manage your equipment! Are you not getting your head right?!”
People around them hurriedly run towards the two fallen people.
Of course, Yoko was among them.
A black shadow wriggling between the collapsed broadcasting materials.
Staff at the broadcasting station hurriedly raised the downed broadcasting equipment.
“Are you okay?!”
When the restless station staff came to talk to Nao, a child named Yuseong Kim, who wrapped herself around Nao and was placed under her instead, answered.
“Yes, that’s fine.”
A sigh of relief erupted from all sides.
As he carefully raised himself, he saw his daughter cradled in his arms.
Seeing that, Yoko hurriedly ran to ask how she was doing.
“Are you okay?!”
“Yes? Uh, yes. I’m fine.”
The boy who answered that with a foolish expression showed Yoko the Nao who was in his arms.
“Fortunately, your daughter is not injured.”
Even in the middle of this, Yoko was shocked to see that he was worried about his daughter, not himself.
Unlike myself who judged him to be trash based solely on his first impression and appearance, he was a genuinely nice guy.
“…Mom?”
The daughter in his arms called Yoko cautiously.
And what about Yoko? Huh? He replied belatedly.
“Why are you crying?”
The moment Yoko heard that, he realized that he was in tears.
“Huh? Why is this like this? Suddenly tears…”
I hurriedly wiped away my tears with a handkerchief, but tears began to flow as if a faucet had been turned off.

Perhaps it was a reaction that relieved tension.
“Don’t cry, mom.”
“I’m sorry mom.”
The two sat across from each other and did not break their embrace for a long time.
