122 – Public Enemy(8)
1.
Idols refer to those who shine brighter than any other star on stage, and therefore can become fans’ idols.
Our members have talents worthy of being called idols.
That’s why, no matter who sees it, our members are the ones who have been confirmed to be the best idols.
In the future, our members will become the best idols for their fans.
“Well, then, when shooting that video, what kind of settings do you decide and shoot? Make people like it more?”
“If that would help you, you better do it.”
“But what about the repercussions when those settings are later found out to be untrue? Ah. Of course, there’s no way I’ll fail in acting, so I’m saying this out of concern for you at the very least.”
“Wearing a mask isn’t difficult at all, so I’m just worried about you.”
But what do fans mean to them?
I thought that there was no problem with the members becoming idols because there were Lira and Jiwoo, who had always dreamed of becoming idols, and we who had spent our trainee days moving toward our dreams.
But what about the two people in front of you right now? Can we say that Ha An and Haru are truly dreaming of becoming idols?
I tried asking a question in my head, but the answer does not come back.
This means that even to me, who is entirely on the members’ side, it seems that these two are not truly aiming to become idols.
Until now, I was just excited and excited about the fact that I could make the best idol with my own hands.
What is an idol to Ha An and Haru? What are you two working hard to become idols for now?
The wrong first button.
In order to put this button back together, I had to ask two people first, having subconsciously turned away from the point where this issue went wrong.
“Older brother. What do you think, brother?”
“I will do whatever the manager tells me to do. Because it always has been.”
Two people just came to ask me a question.
I couldn’t answer the question because I couldn’t hear what he was asking because I was lost in thought, but I opened my mouth to the two of them.
“Before that. Ha An and Haru should talk to me for a moment. One by one.”
In order to quickly put the wrong first button back together even for an hour.

“Huh, I was really good at getting into the habit of cleaning my room when I wake up in the morning. Even if my brother suddenly enters like this, I can not be disturbed in the slightest.”
“I didn’t suddenly come in, you guys suddenly let me in.”
“Older brother, are only the original results left in the world? The only result is that my brother came into my room.”
“······· Haa.”
I was just going to talk in the drawing room, but for some reason I ended up in Haru’s room.
It was because of Haru and Ha An, who exchanged glances for an instant and dragged me home without the slightest delay as soon as I heard from me that we should have a one-on-one interview.
The other members started filming first under the guidance of Byul and Jiyeon, while Ha An was waiting for me in her room.
Well, to be honest, your room might be better than the drawing room.
For some reason, I perched on the bed, blushed slightly, slightly avoiding my gaze, and began to run my luck towards Haru, who caressed the bedding with his strange hands.
“Um, so… how are you doing these days?”
She mustered up the courage to go into her daughter’s room, who had become awkward with puberty, but when she asked like a father who couldn’t think of anything to say after entering, Haru tilted her head slightly.
“How about it, in what part?”
“Huh? That’s what practice and do I mean, isn’t it difficult?”
“Ah. Again, I was hoping that my brother would finally recognize this chest pain that has been getting bigger lately. It was like that.”
What, chest pain?
I was startled and got up from my desk chair and approached Haru.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a spinal reflex reflex, and Haru’s eyes, which are usually half-closed at a leisurely pace, were completely opened, but it didn’t matter now.
“Oh, your heart hurts? Rice, hospital! Go to the hospital…!”
For me, the most important thing now, no always, is the safety of my idol right in front of me.
So, as long as you heard the serious word chest pain that you can never let go of, you have to put it on the back burner and go to the hospital!
“Wait, sleep, wait! No, that chest pain is not that chest pain, please calm down brother!”
“Huh?”
I decided to do it because I thought it would be the fastest to run after hugging the princess, but an urgent voice stopped me.
When she came to her senses, she looked ahead and saw Haru, who had dyed her face red, causing an earthquake in her pupils, at a loss for what to do.
The reason why Haru was so flustered was that right after I made up my mind to hug the princess, my body immediately put it into action.
“My, please drop me off brother, hehehehe. Go, if you do this all of a sudden, my, my heart can’t stand it…”
“Oh, well. Sorry.”
Haru, who covered her face with her slender hands, must have been very difficult to be hugged by the princess.
I thought, ‘Anyway, Haru is really light.’ I put it down carefully on the bed, and Haru lay down on the bed with her face covered.
“Ahhhhh, this kind of thing is happening…”
Something is strange, but this.
In this scene, two men and women over the age of 20 are in a room, and in the meantime, the woman lies on the bed and covers her face with her face blushing.
In a situation where it looked like something really bad would happen if someone came in and took a look, I quickly flew back to my desk chair.
“Well, so Haru, you mean that chest pain is not the chest pain I know, you mean something figurative?”
“Yes? Ah, uh Yes, yes hehehehe…”
“Isn’t it really sick or something?”
“Yes. Ha, it doesn’t hurt at all. In the first place, the Yukino family received regular health checkups before coming to Korea, but nothing was wrong.”
“Oh, well. That’s right. Good luck then. But if you get sick later on, you have to tell me right away. Got it?”
“Yes, four. Uh, but if I really get sick… Will my older brother carry me and run to the hospital just like before…?”
“Huh? Uh uh That’s it, because that’s the fastest. The road to the hospital from here is always blocked, and it would be much faster for me to take a shortcut while holding you Haru.”
“Ah, ah ah… Then I, I should always be prepared mentally. Yes.”
“Well, thank you for that.”
“·······.”
“·······.”
Thumb bang bang The chest pain incident ended like that, and as always, the result of the bang bang bang was an awkward silence.
But I knew there was nothing wrong with Haru, and as long as I had something to ask me, I couldn’t keep this awkward silence.
Ha-an is waiting alone in the room without even hearing what they are talking about, so we shouldn’t have to wait any longer.
“Then, I’m going to ask you a question I didn’t ask before, Haru. Please answer as honestly as possible.”
“Oh, yes. Ask anything. Because I am ready to honestly answer any questions my brother asks.”
Thanks to the awkward silence, Haru, who found his composure again, spoke to me in a relaxed and dignified voice as usual.
Thanks to that voice, I immediately asked a question I needed to hear answered, without any phrasing.
“To me, idols are. What?”
To that question, Haru replied as if it were quite obvious, without the slightest delay.
“That, of course, is the means to be with my brother.”
Unfortunately, as expected.

“Whoa…”
I didn’t intuitively feel that the sun was shining because it was still chilly, but it was midday with the sun rising in the middle of the sky.
That’s right, I’m the only one in the dark in this world right now.
“Haaa.”
Where did it go wrong?
I just heard the answer from Haru that idols are a means, and I heard the same answer from Ha An.
I tried my best to avoid it, but as expected, idols were not a goal for the two, but a means.
That is not a means to success like fame or wealth, but just to be with me.
Seeing Ha An and Haru talking like that with a blushing face like a girl in love, her heart became indescribable.
“Shouldn’t I be forced to recommend idols like that?”
No, it was force majeure. Even if I could turn back time, I would have made the same choice. In order for my dream to come true, Ha An and Haru were absolutely necessary…
“・・・・・・f*ck.”
A sense of shame gnawed at my heart again at the prompt reply that came from my heart.
To think that while I see the members as a means to achieve my dreams, Ha An and Haru have this kind of aversion to seeing idols as a means. There is really no other fire in me.
“Haaa.”
I was sighing heavily, destroying my self-esteem in real time, when my phone rang and a text message arrived.
“Huh?”
[Brother, I think I need some help with the filming? Everyone here is a camera junkie.]
It was a request for help from Byul.
