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

19 – Chapter 1 – Midwinter END

Episode 19

“… It’s me, Team Leader Cheon. “I think you should get in the car right now because of your next schedule.”

Seo Soo-ae, an employee who always stays by Cheon Jong-hoon’s schedule and manages his schedule, spoke carefully to Cheon Jong-hoon.

But he didn’t answer her words.

He just stood tall as if he was lost in thought.

Cheon Jong-Hoon could not move from the lobby even though the sun and winter had left.

As Seo Soo-ae pointed out, if I were thinking about my next schedule, I should have moved to my seat right now, but I couldn’t.

Sun Taeyang’s last words keep ringing in my head.

‘I hope Winter is smiling in that light.’

I knew the context in which those words were said through knowledge and experience.

This is because Chun Jong-hun, who devoted himself to this industry, had such a mind before, as it is a job that is difficult to endure without longing for and dreams of becoming a star.

Nevertheless, Chun Jong-hun greatly underestimated it.

A pure wish that your artist would be happy.

It was a childish accident that Chun Jong-hoon had already graduated from 10 years ago.

“You want the artist to laugh?”

“… yes?”

Seo Su-ae thought that Chun Jong-hun’s words were talking to her, and replied in surprise.

But it seemed to be her misunderstanding.

His words were not directed at her.

“It’s a childish thinking that only amateurs who can’t let go of their fan spirit do. “We are businessmen who make products called idols and receive money from customers called fans.”

Cheon Jong-hoon spoke to himself, looking blankly at the front door of the lobby where the winter and sun had gone out, not at Seo Soo-ae.

“The first thing to think about is creating a high-quality product that will satisfy customers. The second and third are all the same. Creating a product of high quality that will sell well. “That’s it.”

In Jong-Hoon Cheon’s opinion, that was a professional and that was a person called an expert.

“An artist’s smile is not even in the 10th place. “It’s not that important!”

It was the definition of the profession of a producer established by Chun Jong-hun, who had been cutting and shaving himself toward the road of success.

Chun Jong-hoon did not doubt this.

But why is he making excuses for himself?

Chun Jong-hun couldn’t figure out why.

Chun Jong-hoon suddenly remembered the expression Sun-taeyang made on him.

He looked at himself as if he was trying to catch the sun by enumerating the conditions.

As if sympathizing… .

“Seo Soo Ae!”

“yes… , four!”

“From now on, contact all agencies within reach of SS. No, don’t care if the line hits or not, call everyone!”

Although Seo Soo-ae was frightened by Cheon Jong-hun’s unprecedented anger, she asked him about one thing he needed to know in order to carry out orders.

“… “What kind of contact should I make?”

Cheon Jong-Hoon spoke like an animal that could not control his blood.

“… Sun Taeyang, Midwinter: The agency receiving those two should be prepared to be hostile to the SS.”

Cheon Jong-hun knew that this was an action that would leave a huge stain on his career.

It is also true that you will definitely regret it later.

In order to carry out this one word, the prestige of the SS will be diminished.

Reporters who smelled it will sell sh*t, and Cheon Jong-Hoon’s position within the SS will be greatly lowered. The succession structure may also be shaken.

Still, I couldn’t ignore the sun and winter. If they showed success, it seemed like something Cheon Jong-Hoon had built over his entire life would collapse.

Surely those two geniuses will one day soar above Cheon Jong-Hoon’s head.

“Hey winter.”

“yes?”

“We are now outside. “You won’t run into SS employees or Alcast kids.”

“… yes.”

“So, will you please let go of my hand now?”

“… .”

Winter gave her hand more strength and held it tight, as if she didn’t want to do that.

My sister looked at the winter and me with a strange expression.

“It looks like you two have something to talk about. “I go in first.”

“No, sister, I don’t really have anything to talk about.”

My sister raised her middle finger at me and headed towards where she had parked her car.

… I’m holding the car keys.

Winter bowed and bowed until her older sister’s back disappeared from sight.

Of course, he was holding my hand.

I was embarrassed.

“Winter. “Then, can I finish asking the question I wanted to ask earlier?”

As I ran out to the lobby, I remembered what Winter had said.

‘… I did it because I was embarrassed to see Teacher Taeyang look like that.’

“What did you mean by embarrassing?”

It was a relationship that lasted for a short period of time, but winter came and we showed many ways in which we would not be able to see each other again.

I wondered if there was anything to be embarrassed about now.

“It wasn’t something we had to hide between us, as we had already experienced it, right?”

Although the situation turned out well, it could have been easier if we had actively communicated and shared opinions during the winter.

I threw it away because I saw the future, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to move like this.

In many ways, it was right to contact them.

I was at a loss for a way to contact you because my smartphone was taken away by SS, but if I find a way, I’ll figure it out somehow.

Being embarrassed was ultimately Winter’s will to avoid communication.

I was wondering about that.

Aren’t we a good fit?

“… “Teacher Taeyang.”

“Yes, please speak comfortably.”

Winter had a cold, dry expression, neither shedding tears nor laughing.

It was like the expression of winter hanging from the railing of the bridge for the first time.

“For me. In fact, he is more frustrating, dull, and useless than Teacher Taeyang thinks.”

I wanted to refute her self-torture, but I held back.

Because it seemed like there was still something I wanted to say.

“When you and Teacher Taeyang first met, I told you that I lost my wallet and was looking for it, right?”

“It did.”

“That was a lie.”

“Then what were you doing?”

“I was thinking about whether there would be someone who would find me if I fell from here.”

Hearing that truth, I felt like I was out of breath.

“… “Why did you think that?”

“I wasn’t lying when I said I lost money. It’s just that the location wasn’t the bridge. I think I probably lost it at the train station where I last spoke with Yeji. “There was no other place I took my wallet out.”

It was very obvious who the culprit was.

“Yeji, who came to see me off, said she would check her wallet before boarding the train. I was so foolish that I handed over my wallet to Yeji without any response. And I didn’t even check it. “I thought that was faith.”

“… .”

“I took out my wallet when I came to Seoul and was about to take a taxi. “All cash and cards were gone.”

“That f*cking b*tch is real.”

I made a promise.

Aside from Grandpa Winter sending Yeji away with the law, I also have to give him sh*t.

Seeing me cursing Yeji and shaking in frustration, Winter smiled weakly and continued speaking.

“You might think it’s strange that I went up to the railing for something like that. But to me, Yeji was really important.”

Winter spread the other hand that was not holding me and said, counting one by one.

“Grandpa doesn’t like me either. The kids in my class don’t like me either. Mom and Dad don’t like me either. Even the kids at the dance academy don’t like me.”

There was only one finger left.

“It was just foresight. “What about the person who liked me?”

A tremor came from Winter’s hands.

“I knew that Yeji didn’t purely like me. I had to buy him something, but he only smiled and he didn’t like me pretending to know. … Still, even if it was such a twisted relationship, it was very precious to me.”

I gave some strength to her trembling hands.

“Because it was a one-of-a-kind relationship. “It was the only thing I had.”

I hope you know that I am here.

“So I climbed onto the railing. Because I thought there was nothing left for me. … “That’s when Teacher Taeyang appeared.”

That was our first meeting.

“Sir Taeyang’s eyes were shining brightly as he looked at me. It’s like finding a jewel. It was the first look I received in my life.”

It was no different than finding a jewel.

It looked like an opportunity to roll on the ground to me, who had my eyes turned after seeing the quest.

“I didn’t want to be seen as a stupid kid who tried to commit suicide. By lying and swarming.”

It was difficult to see him kneeling down and praying out of nowhere.

“Teacher Taeyang looked at me so well that he just praised me and gave me expectations. In reality, it’s nothing more than a stupid, stupid, depressing flop.”

She hurt herself with words as if she had to.

“Nevertheless, I wanted to remain as a talented child to Teacher Taeyang. So I did that.”

“You have talent, Winter. “To the extent that the word ‘genius’ is not enough.”

Winter shook her head.

“My true self, who can’t adapt and gets along well with children and is bullied by Yoon Jeong because I can’t even choreograph properly, is not a genius like Teacher Taeyang said. … “It was really embarrassing to show and admit that to Teacher Taeyang.”

Winter lowered her head and avoided my gaze, as if she had no reason to look at me.

“I will never become that kind of genius. So, there is no reason for Teacher Taeyang to invest time in me. “You’d better find a better kid.”

Winter says she hopes I find someone else.

But it seemed to me that he wanted something completely different from what he said.

Rather, it seemed like she wanted reassurance that I wouldn’t leave her.

That’s because his hand was still holding on tightly as if he didn’t want to let go.

Don’t worry. Winter.

I have no intention of letting you go.

“You told me a month ago that I could bet the rest of my life on you succeeding and becoming the best idol, right?”

Winter nodded silently.

“I won’t finish with words. “I will bet my entire future life on you.”

I got down on one knee, lowered my head, and after bringing my eyes to eye level, I said.

“I will do everything with you from now on. No matter which agency you go to, I will definitely follow you. And I’ll make sure you reach the top spot. Until when and how far.”

I want to put a straw through my life to a genius like you.

Will you please allow me to follow you like a leech?

At my words, a slight smile bloomed on Winter’s face.

But soon, with greater sadness, I quickly asked for it.

“… I’m really glad. That’s such a happy word. But you can’t follow that.”

“why?”

I asked, wiping away Winter’s tears that had begun to flow again with a tissue with the free hand.

For some reason, the more I wiped, the more tears flowed.

Even amidst the waterfall of tears, Winter spoke clearly and clearly, one word at a time.

“It would be great if we succeed, but if we fail, there is no way to compensate for Teacher Taeyang’s time and effort. … “Even if I give everything I have, I can’t compensate for that.”

“If I don’t succeed with you, it’s my fault, so why are you compensating me? Rather, I should reward you.”

If you fail with a kid whose main abilities are all A, you should go out and die.

“Even so, if it fails, it’s all over! “All these times, all these touches!”

Winter’s hands and eyes were trembling coldly, as if the emotions that could not be expressed in words were overflowing.

Hoping that the coldness would melt even a little, I met her shaking eyes and smiled.

“If an idol fails, just do something else.”

“… “Which one?”

“well… , How about internet broadcasting? You are pretty. A lot of that too. If I just turn on the cam, the inflow will be guaranteed? “I’ll do the editing.”

“… What if that too fails?”

“Then, let’s open a pub. I cook and you serve. If you set up a makeshift stage in the corner and sometimes sing a song instead of serving people, people would flock in like a cloud, right?”

“… What if that too fails?”

I said everything I could think of, from music schools to Silver Town and maid cafes.

The words were just meant to make me laugh in the middle, but instead the tears in winter got even worse.

… Are maid cafes that sad?

Winter even took my left hand, which was wiping away my tears.

He held both my hands and looked into my eyes and said.

“Teacher Taeyang.”

“huh?”

“Let’s see each other for a long time.”

“okay.”

Midwinter laughed.

It doesn’t even live up to its name, it’s like spring.
