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

17 – Forced Breakthrough

Episode 17

It was a big one.

I hoped so, but I had no idea that such a good situation would unfold.

Having prepared myself for a slow legal battle, I felt like I had hit a grand slam.

If you just shared the scene, no one will be able to deny that Winter is being bullied.

Yunjeong’s face also turned blue as if she had been touched by such thoughts.

“I think you’re misunderstanding something. “It’s not what you think.”

Yunjeong continued speaking calmly, even though she was breaking into a cold sweat.

“Does it seem like you are forcibly harassing Winter, who is apologizing to me? “Is there room to think differently here?”

“That’s why I’m telling you it’s a misunderstanding. “It wasn’t like bullying, it was just a process to show more complete choreography as a team.”

I sighed a little and said.

“Was it a situation where you had to stab a child in the chest who had already apologized? Yoon Jeong-ah. “In the general sense, that’s called bullying.”

“It’s not you who judges that. “It’s Winter’s job.”

Yunjeong said, glaring at Winter.

“Tell me straight in the middle of winter! “Did you just get bullied?”

As Yunjeong spoke, she became more and more confident, perhaps because she was intoxicated by her own logic.

So much so that the determination of obvious bullying is left up to Winter.

“… “I, I mean.”

But winter’s behavior was strange.

All you have to do is say that you have been bullied, but they are reluctant to talk about it.

Perhaps he was frightened by Yun-jeong, who was looking at winter right before his eyes.

When I saw it again, I was shedding tears.

I let go of the hand that was holding Yunjeong’s wrist, helped Gyeoreum stand up properly with both hands, and then placed my hands on Gyeoreum’s shoulders.

And said.

“Winter, do you remember what I said when we first met?”

“… yes?”

“I told you it’s not like there’s no one who can help, right? I still think that statement is still true. “Well, there’s someone here right now who can help you, right?”

I spoke while gently covering Yun-jeong with my back so that she would not be seen in the winter.

“Just say one word. “Is this situation where you need my help?”

If I could just say that one word, I could bite my enemy with a cause.

This proves how combative unemployed people are when it comes to finding a job.

The eyes of winter looking at me were wet and hazy.

Eventually her mouth opened.

“… Yes, I was bullied.”

“midwinter!”

Yunjeong shouted with anger.

When I saw Yunjeong like that, I took the lead and said, as if protecting the winter.

“I guess bullying is right from Winter’s point of view, right?”

Yunjeong seemed to be filled with anger all the way to her head.

Normal conversation seemed difficult.

However, contrary to my judgment, Yunjeong calmed down her heated emotions with one deep breath.

Indeed, in both the previous episode and this episode, he had the ability to self-restraint to become the best idol.

I’ll show that to Gye-gyeol, didn’t you?

“From what I’ve just heard, I don’t think you’re an employee. Who is the man?”

“me?”

who is who

“Guardian of Winter.”

Yoon-jeong snorted once at my answer and said.

“You mean you’re not an employee? Then you don’t even have the right to get involved in our affairs, do you?”

This time, I snorted at Yunjeong.

“Kid. I don’t have the authority to get involved in Alcest’s affairs, but I do have the authority to get involved in Winter’s affairs. And this is Winter’s job. “Get out of the way, if you don’t want to get ready to be sued.”

It seems that Yoon Jeong-i has forgotten because she is trapped in the small world of SS.

Complaints and legal judgment can be received equally whether you are the SS president or a trainee.

“Where is the evidence! “Wouldn’t it be difficult to prove it with just testimony?”

I smiled and called my sister.

“Could the lawyer please come by for a moment?”

My older sister, who had been hiding her presence in the corner, appeared with a frown on her face.

The smartphone camera that was recording was a bonus.

“We are filming this whole situation.”

It was checkmate.

Perhaps because she was reminded of the gloomy possibilities of her future, Yunjeong was unable to say anything and her eyes filled with tears.

It seems like he was thinking about the possibility that all his efforts so far would collapse.

It was very ugly.

I was a fan in the previous episode, but seeing him show such an ugly side made my fan base fade away.

“let’s go.”

I held Winter’s hand as she stood there blankly and led her outside.

Just like that, my sister and I passed by Yun-jeong, who was sniffling, and headed outside.

“Wait! “Taeyang, wait a minute!”

While passing through the hallway, the man who was guarding Cheon Jong-hoon appeared, perhaps because he received a call from Coco and Lily, or from a security guard.

I think his name was Sanghun.

Sang-hoon must have rushed over, so he took a breath and spoke to me.

“Mr. Taeyang, there seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding right now. “If you act like this now, you’ll both be in trouble.”

“Well, Mr. Sang-hoon. I don’t think it’s a good time to talk about the troubles we’ll face in the future. “Winter has been going through a lot of trouble right now.”

“That is why I am telling you that it is a misunderstanding. It looks like Winter said she was being bullied, but that’s just noise that comes from working! “I wouldn’t call it bullying!”

“… “Noise?”

“Yes, noise! As you know, Taeyang, the existing trainees are friends who have been here for 3 to 4 years, and Winter has only been here for a short time, right?”

“So what?”

“With the time difference, it is natural for noise to occur! “If you make things too big between children, it will be really difficult.”

“hahahaha, it’s between kids… . “You might think so.”

With that one word, it was clear what kind of policy SS had in managing children.

I didn’t find the SS looking good.

This is because from the appearance of the fragments of the future, it seemed as if the torment of winter had been neglected.

Of course, you may not have known.

But the evaluation will not change.

Because it also proved incompetence.

I was convinced by Sang-hoon’s words just now.

SS was both.

He was incompetent and indifferent.

“Lawyer, can you show me the video you shot?”

My sister handed me the smartphone she was filming with.

I manipulated the smartphone so that it played at the appropriate time and handed it back to Sang-hoon.

“This?”

“Let’s see.”

Sang-hoon wiped his glasses with the hem of his clothes and then checked the video.

The video was a scene where Yoon-jeong was harassing Winter under the pretext of her choreography movements.

“Is there anything else you want to say?”

Sang-hoon pursed his lips as if he had never thought that such a video would even exist.

I took the smartphone that Sanghoon was holding, handed it to my sister, and tried to walk away.

“… It’s a breach of contract!”

At that time, Sang-hoon shouted.

“what?”

“The contract I signed with Mr. Winter is not a trainee contract that can be terminated freely! This is an idol contract that assumes debut. “Withdrawing for personal reasons like this is a breach of contract!”

“If you’re going to mention Sanghoon’s contract, you have to say it properly. Article 15, Paragraph 5: If an employee of a planning company receives a final judgment from the court due to a harmful act such as crime, violence, or theft against the singer, the singer may terminate the contract. “Don’t you know?”

“I know. That is why I am telling you this. According to that clause, isn’t the contract allowed to be terminated if a final judgment is received from the court? “This matter hasn’t been decided by the court yet!”

I said with a wry smile.

“Then can we assume that the SS is willing to have a legal public discussion regarding this matter?”

“… that.”

Sang-hoon also could not open his mouth, perhaps foresaw the repercussions of these words.

“A lawsuit occurred between SS trainees and trainees. So far, it’s interesting, but there’s more to it?”

Cold sweat broke out on Sanghoon’s face.

“The reason is harassment and violence, and the trainee wants to terminate the contract based on this. However, SS does not view this as harassment and violence and does not allow termination of the contract. The bullying of minors, the relationship between idols and peers… .”

I said admiringly.

“Hey, if this article is posted on the Internet, can you bear it without clicking? For now, I can’t stand it?”

Even Sang-hoon, who said this, would not be able to stand it.

“I have no intention of going to trial. We know very well how difficult it is to face a giant like SS. But it’s not like I have no intention of burning myself if the SS stops me.”

I ended the threat and took out a conciliation plan.

“How tired will that make you? So let’s not wallow in the mud and go our separate ways.”

Sang-hoon just looked at us without saying or doing anything.

He probably thought it was not something he could handle.

We exited the hallway, leaving Sanghoon behind.

I walked like I was running and came out to the lobby where the gate was.

Suddenly, I remembered that I was still holding Winter’s hand and tried to let go.

But perhaps sensing my signs, Winter held onto my hand so tightly that it threatened to break.

… Oh my, it’s our Jjintta.

I felt sorry for that.

I said to Winter, who held my hand in tears, probably not yet able to control her emotions.

There was something I wanted to say to that weak child.

“Winter, in such a situation, you just have to speak confidently. “There is no need to be afraid.”

“What is the situation?”

“When Yoon Jeong asked if you were harassing her, you couldn’t answer for a moment. “That’s what I said.”

I knew that Winter was afraid of being hostile to others.

There was a person who was more afraid of someone hating him than of someone hating him.

Winter was like that.

That’s probably why you couldn’t break off your relationship with that b*tch Yeji.

However, there was a moment when we had to fight face to face.

I wanted to let winter know that.

Winter seemed to be hesitating to answer, but couldn’t help but answer my question.

“I wasn’t scared.”

It was an unexpected statement.

I thought, given the nature of winter, I would just say, ‘I won’t do that again,’ and brush it off.

“So, what was it?”

“… “I did it because I was embarrassed to see Teacher Taeyang like that.”

Are you embarrassed?

I turned my head and looked at winter.

“What do you mean by that… .”

“Sun Taeyang!”

Even though it’s been a month since I heard it, it’s a high, arrogant voice that’s so impressive that I can’t forget it.

It was Cheon Jong-hoon, one of the pillars of SS and who would become the undisputed best producer 10 years later.

By the way, that guy knew my name.

I thought he didn’t know my name because it was always on that side of the street.

“Tsk.”

I clicked my tongue.

I didn’t want to run into him like this, so I tried to force myself, but I ended up running into Cheon Jong-hun.

Perhaps his current schedule was to resolve issues within SS.

I had bad luck.

“I only vaguely heard the story. “Let’s talk for a moment.”

It was the appearance of the final boss.
