If You Raise Three Idols Well, They Will Confess Their Love

12 – Jealousy

Episode 12

“You mean the price? Yes, there is one thing I want.”

The answer to the price was prepared in advance.

The reason why it seems less snobbish and plausible.

“I want to watch Winter grow up by my side.”

This is the so-called guardian sensitivity.

Who would think that I want to watch over the child I raised?

Upon hearing my words, Cheon Jong-hun began to think deeply.

I thought he would think about it for a while, but his worries lasted more than 3 minutes.

No, is introducing a road manager position something to think about so deeply?

“… Since he doesn’t want a video or anything, I guess he wants to raise that child himself. “Do you want SS to be just an investor?”

investor?

I shook my head.

What I wanted wasn’t that big of a deal.

“No, raising Winter is the job of Team Leader Cheon Jong-hoon, the final person in charge of the project. I don’t want that much power. “I just want to work with him and watch him grow.”

I said with eyes full of excellence.

“Road manager, I think that location would be good.”

“You’re a road manager, not a producer?”

I felt suspicious of Cheon Jong-hoon’s strange question.

What kind of producer are you talking about? I’ve never produced in my career.

“Yes, I want the road manager position.”

“… “There’s no way they wouldn’t pass the public recruitment, so they must have something else to want from me.”

No, the documents fell like crap.

The reality was different, but they evaluated me so highly that it was difficult to correct them.

So I just smiled and pretended to be okay.

“There are quite a few management departments at SS, so I guess they want to be in charge of that kid instead of falling somewhere else. … “Then are you confident that you will have to work under me?”

Working under Cheon Jong-Hoon, who has a perfectionist temperament, will not be easy.

However, even if it is difficult, it will be easier than being a road manager at Flower Enter.

I leave everything else there so I can’t sleep.

There were times when I only slept 2 hours a week in a row.

That wasn’t something a real person would do.

If I recall hearing the story of the SS manager in the previous episode, I heard that the SS treats the road manager in a humane way.

That’s why I tried to join the SS while selling my feet to this extent.

It was not a merit that I would give up just because I had to work under a tight boss.

“It would be an honor to be able to work under Manager Cheon. As I said back then, I am a fan of Team Leader Chun.”

“… Okay, but it doesn’t look good for me to directly report to him. So, let me introduce you to the person in charge of recruitment. “Can this be considered sufficient compensation?”

It was enough.

As long as you pass the documents, it’s not a task to boil a hiring manager.

“If you can get that opportunity, that’s enough. If the situation gets that far, I have to stick my head in and prove it. “I am qualified to work under Team Leader Cheon Jong-hoon.”

Cheon Jong-Hoon nodded and spoke to the man standing next to him.

“Let’s start with short-term training. At least some confirmation will be necessary. If the minimum level of sincerity is guaranteed, start the contract and follow-up investigation right away. “I will give you all authority, so get ready, Sanghoon.”

The man called Sang-hoon nodded and said.

“I won’t let you down.”

It seemed that Winter’s acceptance was confirmed.

“It will be the best choice. “Then I will tell this good news to Winter.”

As I was about to pack my bags and go out to tell Gyeoreum the news, Cheon Jung-hoon asked a question behind my back.

“… “Just ask one question.”

“Yes, please feel free to speak.”

“What is your relationship with that child? Is it family? Are you a lover?”

“What kind of big deal are you talking about? Are you a lover? “Where in the world these days is there a crazy manager who dates his idol?”

“So, are you family?”

“Not even that.”

“Then why are you doing this?”

To this extent?

Cheon Jong-Hoon’s question was a question that was difficult to understand the context.

“I don’t understand what you are saying.”

“Why are you so devoted to that child?”

I finally realized that there was a gap between Cheon Jong-hun and my thoughts.

There was no reason to use the word dedication.

At most, wouldn’t it be enough to let him sleep for a week and correct his singing and dancing?

In return, I got a chance to get a job at SS, so it was a profitable business.

The position of guardian was simply used as a justification.

However, it doesn’t seem that way from Chun Jong-hoon’s point of view.

In order not to look like I explicitly wanted to join SS, I had a concept, and it seemed to work too well.

I decided not to betray his expectations.

If you see me as an idealist, it would be okay to adjust to that.

Since ancient times, it is easier to use an idealist than an egoist to work as a subordinate.

“Winter is a flower bud.”

So I started brushing my teeth.

“The delicate leaves that have just formed are like delicate flower buds that have barely made contact with the world. The salty wind and early morning frost must have been too harsh for such a flower bud. “It was already getting ready for sunset.”

The analogy continued without specifying anything specific.

“That was so disappointing. “I could see how bright the flower that would bloom from that bud would shine.”

As it turned out, losing my wallet was at most a crisis, but it was up to me.

“I gave the flower a little bit of protection from the wind and rain to prevent it from dying, and it ended up here. But I think I still have a role to play.”

A man named Sang-hoon and a woman next to Cheon Jong-hoon whose name I didn’t know were watching me.

“There seems to be a gap in expressing this with the word dedication. So, to define it from my perspective… .”

I said this to Cheon Jong-Hoon, who was observing me with a blank expression.

“I have become a fan of Winter.”

Most of those who entered the world of management had similar motivations.

I was captivated by the dazzlingly shining star.

To the point of dedicating one’s life to it.

Cheon Jong-hoon and everyone who has been on this floor started out like that.

“… I understand. I will be handing over my contact information to the hiring manager, so they will not be contacting me in the future. So please refrain from contacting that number now.”

I drew a line and bowed to Cheon Jong-Hoon, who withdrew his gaze from me, and walked out the door.

When I pulled the door, Winter, who was stuck in front of the door, fell over.

I embraced the narrowly falling winter as if embracing it.

I asked Winter in my arms.

“Why are you so dangerously stuck there?”

I suspected that he might have put his ear to the door and eavesdropped.

Winter’s cheeks turned red and she spoke restlessly.

“… That’s it. … ah! “I was scared of the atmosphere, and I thought I had done something wrong, so I was banging my head against the door as a way of reflecting.”

Well, that’s right, there’s no way this scaremonger would have the courage to do something like that.

In the end, I wasn’t eavesdropping, I was self-punishing.

It was truly a stupid idea.

“There’s no need for that. “You’re stuck.”

“really?”

“Okay, if I don’t pick you, who will I pick? “You had a hard time for 6 days.”

Winter burst into tears as if it was natural.

Now that I was used to the extremely shabby tear ducts, I took out winter tissues and wiped them as if it were natural.

In the end, Winter became a trainee, and I got a chance to get a job at SS.

It was the best ending.

***

After finishing work, Cheon Jong-hoon sat down at his reserved table at the restaurant at exactly 7 p.m.

In order to make time for this dinner, he had to start his schedule at 4 a.m., but Cheon Jong-hun didn’t feel any special emotions about the effort.

This is because he considers all that hard work to be his own choice.

He was not the type of person who wanted others to know about his efforts and hard work.

However, the fact that only one of the five attendees, including himself, arrived made him feel quite bad.

This was especially true because he considered promises like gold.

“Anyone else?”

Cheon Jong-hoon asked his younger sister, Cheon A-ram, who was wearing a red shirt and slacks with gray stripes on a black background.

Cheon A-ram spoke as he neatly pulled out the inside of the snail using the third fork and tongs.

“My dad is busy as always, and my mom said that a new product has arrived at the department store, so she eats there. “My second brother has an urgent meeting so it’s difficult for him to participate.”

Cheon Jong-Hoon was greatly offended by his family’s attitude, which seemed to be complacent about their promise to him.

But I quickly made up my mind.

Since it was Cheon A-ram that I wanted to see today anyway, I figured it wouldn’t be a big deal.

“Well, it just so happened to be good. “There was something I wanted to tell you.”

“Do I have a brother? … “That’s a really interesting statement.”

Cheon A-ram stopped cutting the snail with a knife and looked at him with interest.

Cheon Jong-hun didn’t like the look in Cheon A-ram’s eyes that seemed to penetrate her essence, so he wasn’t happy to talk to her.

But I decided not to worry about it now.

Because I saw eyes that were even more unpleasant than that.

“Six days ago, I received a call from a number that wasn’t saved as my private number… .”

Cheon Jong-hoon told the story of a man who one day suddenly offered to introduce a trainee to him.

The story ended with him deciding to begin short-term training with the trainee he introduced.

“hmm… , That’s a pretty interesting story. “I didn’t know you had a talent as a storyteller.”

Cheon A-ram found the story interesting.

But it didn’t end there.

“But why are you telling me this story? “It’s not like we share such personal experiences, right?”

“Because you are the recruiter for SS. And I promised to introduce him to the recruiter.”

Cheon A-ram said with a cold smile as if she understood.

“Aha, you have no intention of keeping your promise?”

“It’s not that I didn’t keep my promise. “I have faithfully fulfilled that promise and am now speaking to you, the hiring manager, right?”

Cheon Jong-Hoon seemed shameless when he said that.

“The promise I made was only to introduce you to the recruiter, so it was fulfilled as he had hoped. “It’s not my concern here whether you hire him or not.”

“For that to happen, you should have talked to another recruiter. “Not me, a former recruiter who left the company two months ago.”

Cheon Jong-Hoon did not answer.

The silence itself was the answer.

He intentionally prevented Sun Taeyang from entering the SS.

It is a masterpiece that seems infinitely childish to others.

This was an attitude uncharacteristic of Cheon Jong-hun, whose pride was so high that he tried to keep his promises as much as possible even if it meant he would suffer losses.

Cheon A-ram felt very interested and curious about Cheon Jong-hun’s new appearance.

“Why did you do that? Why does a man named Cheon Jong-hoon, who is greedy for talented people, push out such a special offer? Normally, someone would have advertised it as theirs before putting spit on it.”

Cheon A-ram’s eyes shone brightly.

He had a magical nature that seemed to captivate people, but his charm was too much and made people reluctant.

Cheon Jong-hun thought those eyes were like a poisonous snake.

“Because that approach is unpleasant. No other reason.”

“No, a person named Cheon Jong-hun values formality, but he values ability more than that. Even if there is rudeness, if it results in results, it should be taken seriously. “There is no reason to go to such lengths to break a promise simply because the approach was unpleasant.”

Cheon Aram muttered and asked herself like a witch reciting a spell.

“Pride? It’s not enough. aversion? It’s part of it. Hostility? “That’s closer to the result.”

Cheon Jong-hun was reflected in Cheon A-ram’s deep, black pupils.

“Stop, I think I’ve talked about this enough… .”

At that time, a snake-like smile appeared on Cheon A-ram’s face.

“… ah! … Ha ha ha ha ha! That was it! “That was it!”

Cheon A-ram’s loud noise filled the quiet restaurant.

Normally, Cheon Jong-Hoon would have pointed out her rudeness, but he could not.

He was overwhelmed by Cheon A-ram’s rich emotions.

The laughter ended and the red lips opened.

And like the snake that made Cheon eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, Cheon A-ram gave a name to Cheon Jong-hun’s hidden feelings.

“My brother is jealous of that person now.”
