118 – Public Enemies (4)
0.
To make the world’s best idol with my own hands.
That’s my long-held dream, and it’s the driving force that made me who I am today.
The reason I was able to stay in prison without being visited for 7 years was because of this dream, and the reason I was confident in all my actions so far was because of this dream.
Yes, this dream makes me live.
······So far.
1.
“Yes!”
An instant reply came back without the slightest hesitation, making the fact that he was worried about handing over the offer was overshadowed.
“Why?”
Something in my heart rose up in my heart at the embarrassingly quick reply.
So, without realizing it, I spit out a cold half-word, and of course, what came back was Byul’s voice full of doubts.
“Why?”
“Huh?”
Since Byul came to help me from the beginning, it was natural for him to agree to be my colleague.
That’s why it’s also natural for me to answer my question with a question like this.
In case something in my chest was found out, I quickly relaxed my stiff face and answered with a smile on my lips like an idiot.
“Oh, no. Nothing. I was just embarrassed that the answer was so fast that I was speechless. hahahaha.”
“What is it?”
Fortunately, I was able to get over it just by picking it up and letting out a laugh.
Now let’s get to the main point.
“Anyway, thanks Byeol. So what would you like to help me with…”
“Is it okay if I help you make your kids into the best idols?”
The main topic that I wanted to get out of Byeol’s mouth before me came out.
“Huh? Um, yes.”
“That’s easy. Like I said last time, oppa’s kids are cotyledons that you can just look at.”
“That’s right.”
“No, not at the level of cotyledons. As long as you debut while receiving my coaching, it’s no different from being the best idol.”
Praise toward our kids poured out from Byul’s mouth.
“Yes, yes.”
The fact that the gemstones I discover and am in charge of are being evaluated like this by the greatest stars of the present age is not enough to make my shoulders and nose go up.
Yes. A star is a button pressed.
“I’ve said it several times, but my kids really have the best talent in the world. It’s no exaggeration to say that I really used up all the luck in my life…”
My shoulders went all the way up to the sky, like a parent who only cares about his children, and just as the endless banquet was about to begin, Byul’s determined voice cut me off.
“Of course, this is only possible if your kids obey my coach.”
“Huh?”
Byeol’s words as she cut her back were so realistic that they returned her shoulders and the bridge of her nose, which had been climbing without knowing the end.
“You know my brother, right? Oppa’s kids… Especially Haru with Haan Choi? What do they think of me?”
It didn’t stop there, but Byul’s words added an unbearable weight to my shoulder, which was infinitely light.
“Uhm, right. Ha An and Haru don’t look good on you.”
Since the day we broke up with Byul a month ago, for the past month, our kids have been doing their best to train their basic physical strength, fueling their hostility toward Byul.
Yes, I have tried my best so far to prove that I was not wrong in choosing them over Byul by becoming the best idol.
Among them, Ha-an and Haru’s hostility toward Byul far surpassed the other three.
That’s why, if Byul goes to them and says, ‘I’m going to coach you to make you the best idols from today, follow me thoroughly.’
I don’t think it will end just by not accepting it.
As she recalled the eyes of Ha An and Haru looking at Byul, chills ran up her spine.
“I have to convince the kids first.”
“Exactly.”
That’s why I had to convince my kids that Byul should be the coach to prevent such a terrible thing from happening.
Persuading the kids to accept Byul as their coach… Is it even possible?
Perhaps the vagueness about what to do appeared on her face, and Byul suddenly gave her encouragement.
“Even if I think about it, it must be difficult. It won’t be impossible though.”
“Isn’t that impossible?”
“Yes.”
Saying that, Byul’s eyes were firm without even the slightest wavering.
I think just bringing out Byul’s name will create a huge repercussion. The person in charge, Byul, did not seem to think so.
What is the basis for such firm eyes?
“·······Yes. Whether there is a possibility or not, this is something that must be done unconditionally.”
But I also absolutely need Byul’s help to make my kids the best idols, so it was a luxury to think about the possibilities, thinking that it was impossible.
“Kids, I’ll try to coax you.”
I made up my mind to do the only thing I could do in this situation… No, I should be able to do it.
2.
“·······.”
“·······.”
After taking Byul home, we gathered all the children and talked.
The situation of Bareungil Entertainment, the reason why Bareungil Entertainment can’t do what other agencies can do, and even saying that we need help from Byeol-i, the best talent who can seek that help.
The more I talked, the more my chest became heavy as if it were filled with iron, and my chin did not move as if it was rusted.
Of course.
It was only natural for my conscience to sharpen my gut when I suddenly told them that I needed Byul-i’s help.
But what really troubled me right now wasn’t the sharp conscience that turned the inside of my body into chaos.
“·······.”
‘So I think I need help from Byul… What do you guys think?’, But this situation where no answer came back was the most difficult for me.
I think it would be much more comfortable to sit with your butt on a cushion of thorns.
Reverse what you said right now and say, ‘Okay, sorry guys. I was wrong. Let’s do something together!’ I felt like saying.
But I can’t. Right now, I desperately need the help of Byul.
So, while receiving their eyes, I have to pretend I don’t know and hope to lose with my mouth closed.
I asked what you guys think, but in fact, this was a notice rather than a request for opinions.
All of the girls who look at me know this fact, so I can’t express my true feelings that I don’t like accepting Byul.
·······As expected. Is it the fastest way for the kids and me to just say it openly?
It’s not like asking for an opinion, but if I properly bow my head and ask him to accept Byul, he will surely not be able to refuse and will listen to my request.
Yes, it will. Haan, Lira, Jiwoo, Haru, we would definitely do that.
It was difficult to even open my mouth because I was stabbed by my conscience, but I closed my eyes tightly and forced myself to open my mouth.
“I will say it again…”
“For sure. Is it necessary?”
However, the words he uttered with a big heart were cut off in the middle as if they were clichés.
“Huh?”
“That person. Is it really necessary to get help from Mr. Byeol?”
Breaking the silence, Ha Ani asked that.
It wasn’t too difficult to answer this question because I had already explained why I needed Byul’s help.
So I opened my mouth to repeat the explanation I just gave.
“That is…”
“Why, why should I get help from that person…?”
At Ha-an’s question, I was speechless for a moment.
“·······.”
I know the answer to this question very well.
No, you shouldn’t know beyond what you know very well.
The reason why I really need Pulgi’s help and the reason I need Byul’s help is that.
Exactly······.
“·······You. I have to make them the best idols.”
Seven years ago, my first dream I got from seeing Byul-i confidently step forward to become a star that shines brighter than anyone else.
“······Can it be done without that person? Can’t we just do it?”
That dream, which is the purpose and reason of my life, gave me the first hope that I might be able to please someone when all I knew how to do was break something.
“Yes, as I said before, we can’t do it alone. With this Bareungil Enter, only with the boss, me, and you guys… It’s impossible.”
To achieve my dream, I desperately needed Byul’s help.
“In that case… please do so.”
In order to achieve my dream, I avoided Ha An’s gaze.
