31 – Chapter 2 – Cheon Aram END
Episode 31
“Are you okay?”
Seo Soo-yeon said as she wiped away the sweat of Cheon A-ram, who had vomited for 30 minutes after locking herself in the bathroom.
“yes I’m fine. “Just a little bit of cold sweat, chills, headache, and nausea?”
“… “Normally, I wouldn’t say that’s okay.”
“By my standards, this is in very good condition.”
Cheon A-ram looked haggard and shrugged his shoulders as if nothing had happened.
Seo Soo-yeon, who saw that, took a deep breath and then spoke.
“So, as Team Leader Sun said, we had to come about 10 minutes before the end of the stage. “It’s natural for something like this to happen since I performed on stage for two hours in such a crowded place.”
The tone of voice was close to criticism, but the content contained deep concern for Cheon A-ram.
Cheon A-ram cherished that aspect of Seo Soo-yeon.
“I won’t deny that it was a slightly ignorant choice. But it was a worthy choice.”
“… “I also don’t want to say it wasn’t worth it.”
Seo Soo-yeon spoke with a blush as if the lingering emotion still lingered.
“Yoo Ga-eul’s performance was truly amazing.”
Cheon A-ram looked at Seo Soo-yeon’s expression and smiled slightly and said.
“… Hmm, I admit that Gaeul was amazing, but something else caught my eye.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Seon Taeyang.”
“Team leader Seon?”
Seo Soo-yeon, who was momentarily puzzled, quickly nodded and said.
“… He certainly seemed quite capable as a marketer.”
“No, I’m not saying that.”
Cheon A-ram recalled memories of the sea and fallen leaves, which were their first song.
“Do you remember your first performance?”
“If you are talking about memories of the sea and fallen leaves, I remember them. “I liked that stage the best.”
“Why do you think that stage was the best? “Sung by Yu Ga-eul, among many other performances.”
Seo Soo-yeon was unable to answer even though her lips were licking.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know because I don’t have enough knowledge. … It just seems to be something deeper.”
A-ram Cheon smiled at her and kindly explained it to her.
“Certainly, the main character on that stage was Yu Ga-eul. But if you ask who made that stage perfect, I’ll raise Team Leader Sun’s hand.”
The semi-professional piano skills that Sun Taeyang showed deserved to be highly evaluated.
But that wasn’t all.
Cheon Ah-ram already knew the song “Memories of the Sea and Fallen Leaves.”
Therefore, from the solo of the second piano in the middle, I could clearly feel that the song was completely different from the original song.
The funky, s*xy and addictive change of flow was defined in one word.
It was sophisticated.
This simple word was the best evaluation that A-Ram Cheon, the president of an industry that must lead the trend without losing sight of it, could give.
“Jong-Hoon oppa didn’t judge me as someone who would surpass him for no reason.”
As those words were delivered, the expressionless face that Seo Soo-yeon usually maintained cracked.
“Did Cheon Jong-Hoon really say those words?”
Her face was full of astonishment.
Seeing that rare change in expression, Cheon A-ram laughed out loud.
“That’s right. “I can’t believe it when I say it with my own mouth.”
Cheon Ah-ram laughed heartily in front of Seo Su-yeon’s dazed face.
“ruler… Let’s go right now, since we’ve caught our breath.”
Seo Soo-yeon answered like a first-class secretary with her face fixed again with an expressionless expression, as if her feelings were just an illusion.
“Yes, I will take you home.”
Then A-ram Cheon was embarrassed and said as if he had heard the wrong answer.
“What are you talking about? It’s not work time yet. We have to work.”
Seo Su-yeon shook her head and said.
“But I think you should take a break right now.”
“I don’t have time for that. As Team Leader Sun mentioned, we have to be quite busy to get things done at the Seed Foundation.”
“If that were all, I would instead…” .”
“I will have to meet old investors from my hometown for the first time in a long time.”
Seo Soo-yeon asked in surprise.
“Meeting them?”
“Yes, it’s something I have to do as I begin to enter the industry in earnest.”
When she heard those words, her face showed deep worry and concern for Cheon A-ram.
Deeper than the moment she had just thrown up and been in a cold sweat.
“Boss Cheon absolutely hated meeting them, right? “You said there was a bad smell that you couldn’t stand even for 10 minutes.”
“… “It is true.”
“There is no reason to go that far. “To begin with, Two Bear Entertainment was established solely for the sole purpose of eliminating the competition for successor, right?”
It was like that. Actually, Cheon A-ram had no intention of creating a girl group using this two-bear entertainment.
Taking over as president of Two Bear Entertainment was almost a political declaration that he would not compete for succession with Cheon Jong-hoon.
Even Two Bear Entertainment’s state-of-the-art facilities were not intended to be used directly.
This was nothing more than an investment to later sell it as an entertainment headquarters building.
But that mind has changed.
“I also really want to try something.”
It must have been from the moment he learned about the existence of a person named Sun Taeyang from Cheon Jong-hoon’s mouth.
Cheon Ah-ram smiled as if he was delighted with the change.
“Midwinter, Yugaeul and Suntaeyang. I don’t know how I got so many people I like.”
Sinaburu as if it permeated and was sucked in.
Cheon Ah-ram became a fan of those who had not even debuted yet.
“Aren’t you curious what kind of group these guys will make?”
“… .”
“Honestly, I often do calculations when it comes to choosing people. Since childhood, I only learned to live like that in the heavenly family, and I have a related major in that direction, so I can’t help it, but I don’t want to do that in front of these friends.”
“That means… .”
“Now, I don’t want to get caught up in things like rate of return, capital, and reasons for investment. I can solve that on my own. … “I will try to become a pillar for those people.”
She smiled shyly and said, as if she was embarrassed to say such a thing.
“Don’t you think that would be kind of cool?”
It was the first time Seo Soo-yeon saw Cheon A-ram like that.
Humans were always to be avoided for Aram Cheon.
It was unimaginable that she could smile just by repeating a person’s name.
Seo Soo-yeon hoped that her old friend’s smile would last for a long time.
“In that case, I will use the best of my abilities for Two Bear.”
She spoke with firm determination.
“Yes, please take care of me in the future, Suyeon!”
Seeing Seo Soo-yeon like that, Cheon A-ram smiled brightly.

“Therefore, I will leave the contract to you.”
Cheon A-ram said, handing out a contract that reflected the discussed content.
“Is it okay for me to do this?”
It was a contract that required paying quite a lot of money.
I was grateful that they trusted me and entrusted me with the work, but I felt a little burdened when I remembered that it had not even been a month since I joined the company.
“What are you talking about now that you made such a fuss just yesterday?”
I had nothing to say about that.
Yesterday’s busking incident and snatching contract were, in my opinion, actions that crossed the line.
To be honest, I did it with the mindset that if I failed, I would have to face winter.
“sorry. “There will be nothing to shake the president’s authority in the future.”
When I bowed my head and apologized, Cheon A-ram waved his hand and said,
“it’s okay. Because I saw that in a positive way. In the end, you did it to help the company, right?”
No, I just did it for my own good.
“Honestly, I watched with suspicion because Team Leader Seon had a strange smell. Wanting to believe and blindly trusting are two different things. But after what happened yesterday, I decided. I will trust Team Leader Sun. … “Aren’t you saying this lightly?”
It was unspoken.
“Please don’t betray my trust.”
Cheon A-ram’s eyes shone menacingly like a poisonous snake.
I trembled slightly as the chicken meat crawled up my neck.
I can’t get used to those eyes.
“I will repay your trust.”
“good! “Then go.”
I asked with regret.
“Still, wouldn’t it be better for Seo Soo-yeon, who seemed to have extensive knowledge in accounting, to handle this matter?”
“Sooyeon is at the foundation seed to sort out what Team Leader Seon did? “I also have to go out with an investment project.”
“… I apologize once again. sorry.”
In the end, it seemed like the outcome of my contract was a certain one.
I bowed my head towards Cheon A-ram and left the president’s office.
When I came out to the lobby, I found Ga Eul kneeling on a chair and looking nervous even though no one was looking.
“Ga-eul, why are you in such an uncomfortable position?”
“… “Yes, yes?”
Ga Eul said as she looked at the small letters “Two Bear” written in the lobby.
“ah… “When I came to this company, I realized that I had entered the world of an adult.”
I thought that high school seniors were very sensitive.
I spoke lightly to make her relax.
“The part-time job that Gaeul usually does is also an adult’s job. “There is no big difference between this and that.”
“… Yes. “That’s also an adult’s job.”
There was an atmosphere of self-deprecation.
Looking at her, I realized that I had made a slight mistake and changed my voice.
“First of all, if you want to sign a formal contract, you need the consent of the guardian. “This is especially true when a lot of money is exchanged.”
The topic we changed wasn’t a very pleasant one, but it was something that had to be said.
“So, I would like to meet Gaeul’s guardian now and talk about the contract. Do you have time to spare?”
“… Yes, you should. “The consent of the guardian will be required.”
We went to the parking lot and got into the company car.
Ga Eul looked closely and carefully said the address before closing her mouth.
It was unusual for him to be chatting non-stop.
I waited for her slowly.
Because I could guess his feelings to some extent.
Only after 20 minutes in the car did Gaeul open her mouth.
“… “My father may feel a little strange.”
“You think it’s a little strange?”
Ga Eul expressed her anxiety by writhing her hands and then spoke.
“… Actually, a lot.”
… Somehow, this didn’t seem to be an easy task.
