Episode 81. genius
Choi Tae-hun stiffened his face at Kang-soo’s words, but quickly let go.
“I don’t know what you mean. I just went because I wanted to see Athena one more time.”
In response, Kangsu ignored Choi Taehoon’s words and looked at the detective.
“Detective. My people have been in car accidents, can you look into that too? If possible, please check the CCTV and black boxes of surrounding vehicles in the situation before the accident.”
“Are you buying?”
“It’s like an accident caused by a vehicle problem. If there are traces of this person being filmed in the accident, it must be an attempted murder.”
At the same time, Choi Tae-hun’s eyes, which had been lowering his head, turned busily.
That reaction was enough.
But what was needed now was solid evidence.
Since the testimony that they chased after her before is dismissed as something she committed as a fan, she had to prove her obsession and crime as a lover in the past.
“Are you sure about that? If we push and don’t push it, it could be reversed.”
The detective was kind of annoying. It was already judged as a trivial incident made by the fan spirit that was out of line.
In the meantime, Yoo Chae-yeon, who had been a little away, stepped out.
“I will take responsibility for counter-accusation or whatever, so please investigate. It is said that the vehicle that was in the accident at the time also had suspicious circumstances. We can’t go quietly.”
“…do you think it’s a suspicious situation?”
Yoo Chae-yeon connected the phone with the mechanic who was repairing the vehicle that had been in an accident. However, it seemed that he was angry about something.
In the meantime, I turned my cell phone to speaker phone, so I could hear the mechanic’s voice.
“What you said to me earlier, say it again.”
[Is that it? Ah… The part on the brake oil side was separated from the lower part of the vehicle. And the one connected to the accelerator.]
The bored detective also sharpened his eyes.
“Did you tell anyone else what you just said?”
[I have spoken.]
“To whom?”
[The one who entrusted the maintenance… to the team leader who was already at JIN Entertainment…]
With that explanation, Yoo Chae-yeon let out a sigh.
It was the reason I was angry earlier.
The call ended there.
“It seems that the established team leader missed the report to me. I told you to come here, so if you need to investigate, feel free to do so.”
Along with Yoo Chae-yeon’s answer, the detective looked at Choi Tae-hoon, who was sitting right in front of him, differently than before.
It was because I remembered that there was something stuck.
“Choi Tae-Hoon… From the resume I looked at earlier, you said you graduated from the Department of Automotive Engineering at Incheon Electromechanical Technical High School.”
It was a history that could be seen as sufficient knowledge about cars.
“…”
“Once the charges are settled, we will investigate that case as well. And if the allegation is clear, it seems that the part that the knife testified at the beginning was just for cutting should be said again.”
Choi Tae-hoon trembled at the cold detective’s explanation. Things that I thought I could pass on quietly like before became bigger.
“Isn’t that because four years stopped it…. Even if you hadn’t stopped me then, I was able to talk to Joo-rang!”
Choi Tae-hoon picked up a ballpoint pen from the desk and jumped up to try to run at Yoo Chae-yeon.
At that moment, the river came out from the side and grabbed Choi Tae-hoon’s wrist and pulled it toward him, wrapping it around him.
Bang, Quadang—
Choi Tae-hoon, who was floating in the air, was hit on the edge of a nearby desk and rolled to the floor.
“Kuuk!”
“Are you okay?”
“You, you… you bastard…”
Kang-soo pretended to raise Choi Tae-hoon and pressed his fingers against his waist.
“aaagh!”
“Where are you bad?”
It was the part I pressed when waking up the Athena members in the morning.
Of course, the intensity of pressing was different from that time.
“You, what are you doing…”
“You seem to have a lot of trouble somewhere.”
“This dog is —!”
Choi Tae-hun still didn’t let go of the ballpoint pen, and then pointed it at Kang-soo.
In the meantime, Yoo Chae-yeon intervened and grabbed Choi Tae-hoon’s right arm, pulling him up and putting him on his waist.
Whoo- Kung!
“Big!”
Choi Tae-hoon seemed to be floating in the air in an instant, but then fell to the floor.
Everyone was surprised at the situation where the fisheye was dumbfounded, but then came to their senses.
There was even a detective who was about to applaud for being so perfect.
“Whoa—! it’s kinda cool now How can a loser be a b*tch!”
For reference, Yoo Chae-yeon was only 3rd in judo.
It was only then that the detectives around confirmed Choi Tae-hoon, who was unable to get up from the floor.
The impact went hard to the back, but there were no major injuries.
Then, an established team leader who brought the Athena members home entered the police station.
“…”
* * *
[Stalking the former lover of the current girl idol group leader.]
[Idol leader belonging to J Enter, stalking ex-lover.]
[Current civil servant, ex-lover is incumbent famous idol group leader.]
Since it was an incident that ended up at the police station, things had to escalate.
As a result, after Athena’s incident, the schedule was put on hold for a while.
Of course, Athena’s Kim Ju-rang was the victim.
However, people did not value the victim.
At what age did Kim Joo-rang meet that lover and how long did they date… How did you break up… Why did I meet such a guy…
Different issues came to mind.
JIN Entertainment also watched the situation and had to make a decision, so they called the CEO and others related to Athena to the conference room at 11:00 pm.
Yoo Chae-yeon, who led the conference room, spoke first.
“Um… is there anyone involved who hasn’t come?”
People looked around.
Then Cheol-soo Jang, who came out of the hospital for a while, opened his mouth.
“Manager Han Kang-soo is nowhere to be seen.”
“…Ah, I received a call in advance saying that I will be a little late because I have something important to do.”
In this case, Han Kang-soo was important in many ways.
The perpetrator, Choi Tae-hoon, was found and caught, and even the managers in front of him found out that Tae-hoon Choi had been hurt.
In the meantime, Kim Min-cheol found another person who was not there.
“Can’t you see the well-trained team leader?”
“···The team leader is on probation due to internal discipline. I will not attend today’s meeting.”
It was because Jang Cheol-soo and Kim Min-cheol left the car for repair and hid the problem.
It is said that it was in order not to raise a problem as an established team leader… but in the current results, it was just a ridiculous excuse.
smart-
Meanwhile, there was a knock on the door and precipitation came in.
Eyes flocked.
“sorry.”
“no. I was just about to start.”
Kangsu sat in an empty seat outside.
Yoo Chae-yeon held a meeting.
“Although Athena is in a break, it is considered to be a problem that will resurface during the comeback in the current situation. I would like to come up with a definite countermeasure against this, but how about it?”
Jang Cheol-soo, who was in charge of Athena from the beginning, raised his hand while sitting in a wheelchair.
“If it’s a definite countermeasure, what part are you talking about?”
“To be honest, Ju-rang has even talked about leaving the team.”
“…”
Kim Joo-rang felt a greater sense of responsibility for this incident than anyone else.
So, after thinking about it, the first thing I did was to talk to Director Yoo Chae-yeon.
“What did Ju Rang do wrong! Also, the director knows very well that Ju-rang has worked harder than anyone else to come this far.”
Compared to the other members, Kim Joo-rang joined the group last.
As much as that, Kim Joo-rang came to the practice room earlier than anyone else and worked late, contributing greatly to the success of Athena from the first album.
Of course, talent also helped.
Anyone from JIN Entertainment could not have known that.
“I know it too. However, I don’t think we can ignore the burden Ju-rang will feel.”
“I’ll meet Ju-rang and talk.”
“From the meeting. I’m going to talk to the Athena members with the agenda that came out here.”
After a moment of silence, Kim Bo-ran, who was sitting in front of the conference room, opened his mouth.
Kim Bo-ran is not related to Athena, but he has more experience than other managers in accidents, so he attended at Yoo Chae-yeon’s request.
“First of all, I think facts are people’s reactions. First of all, people are discussing among themselves whether Ju-rang is qualified as an idol.”
Picked up the point exactly.
People sitting around nodded.
In response, Jin Soo-hyeok spoke in the middle seat.
“You mean the key is how you can change people’s thoughts.”
“that’s right. Instead, it’s not an easy task. It is a fact that Joo-rang met and dated that man when he was a minor. It’s a fact that we knew, but no matter how you think about it, it’s in people’s minds.”
“How is Minerva’s situation now?”
Minerva, who is identical to the goddess Athena, was the name of the fan club.
And he referred to the person active inside as Minerva’s owl.
Yoo Chae-yeon, who grasped the situation, told me.
“Fortunately, there are many opinions that want to hear our thoughts and what Ju-Rang has to say. There are people who don’t, but… that can’t be helped.”
After that, various opinions came out, such as press conferences, documentaries, and personal breaks.
However, it could not be confirmed because there was a problem that could deepen misunderstandings.
“If only.”
Kang-soo, who had been quiet since arriving late, spoke cautiously.
“Keep talking.”
“What if Choi Tae-hoon is worse than he appears?”
“…Are you at home? If so, it’s not bad on our part. Even in public opinion, the bad side will be criticized more than right or wrong.”
“okay.”
“Has anything come out?”
“no. I didn’t know anything because I was taking Athena members to the police investigation.”
Were you expecting something?
The slightly hopeful atmosphere subsided again.
“First of all, let’s discuss with the current opinion. We will make sure that the results come out without too much delay.”
Everyone got up from their seats and left the meeting room.
Then, some people’s phones vibrated.
Since everyone was doing management work, an alarm was set up whenever a new article or urgent news appeared on the Internet.
“Chief! Look at your phone!”
Kim Bo-ran checked first and then shouted.
In response, Yoo Chae-yeon took out her cell phone, which had been silenced for a while because of the meeting.
“What is this…”
“Oh my, does this make sense?”
“You’re such a crazy bastard!”
Others also read the article and were dumbfounded.
At the same time, Kang Soo checked the article on his cell phone.
[The bizarre obsession of Choi ○○ who stalked her current idol ex-lover. Police found stalking evidence made somewhere. There, along with drugs…]
[Photos and videos of a number of women secretly filmed at the location found by the police were found together…]
.
.
[The police obtained additional evidence, found photos and videos of voyeurs of women in school uniforms…, …. In the process of obtaining victim information, abuse of authority as a public official was suspected and an investigation was launched…]
Yoo Chae-yeon, who was looking at her cell phone, remembered what Kang-soo had asked in the middle of the meeting.
Of course, her gaze naturally turned to Kangsu.
However, Kang-su calmly looked at his phone and put it back in his pocket.
“…”
Like Yoo Chae-yeon, Jin Soo-hyeok saw such a river.
Did Kang-soo know what the situation was going to be like now?
But how about precipitation?
Yoo Chae-yeon and Jin Soo-hyeok thought it was ridiculous, but only shook their heads.
In the meantime, Kim Bo-ran approached Kang-su while holding out his cell phone.
“Mr. Kangsu, have you seen this?”
“I just saw it.”
“Wow— have you ever seen a chick worse than a locust feeler? A guy like this should boil food waste and fill up his stomach, duodenum, small intestine, and large intestine.”
Kim Bo-ran’s swearing was novel every time I heard it.
At this, Kang-soo nodded.
“I mean.”
“I’m sorry to Mr. Kang-soo, what should I do?”
“What do you mean?”
“Everywhere I go, things happen. Well… that’s not what I’m going to say. It seems like Sohyeon and Kangsu are having a hard time.”
“I’m glad it’s working out, though.”
At Kang-soo’s words, Kim Bo-ran smiled broadly as if he was feeling refreshed.
“Right? Same with Monica Shaw last time. There must be a guardian spirit in our JIN Entertainment. I see that everything that pops up is resolved well. Isn’t it?”
Some nodded their heads as if to sympathize with her loud voice.
Like Yoo So-hyun, this time Athena didn’t know if the break would get longer or if Kim Joo-rang would really leave.
If that had happened, JIN Entertainment would have been staggered as well.
However, those things were taken care of as if someone was aiming and solving them.
