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

33 – Hug me for a moment

Episode 33

[Reward – Sense of a Sword Saint]

I wasn’t mistaken.

The Chinese characters that were kindly written next to the letters ‘Geomseong’ were the same Chinese characters as the word ‘Geomseong’ that I often saw in fantasy novels.

If you’re a swordsman, that’s it, right? Sword Master.

The detailed settings vary depending on the novel, but most are sword masters who wield sword skills and wear plate armor.

[I borrow the sense of a swordsman who was the best swordsman in human history.]

After reading the description, it didn’t seem like it had performance that transcended the laws of physics.

However, it didn’t look that bad. The adjective that it was the best in human history created such expectations.

I was very curious about what kind of senses such a superhuman would have.

Ga Eul said while she was seriously contemplating whether she should close her eyes and beat up Ga Eul’s father in front of her.

“Then I won’t sign the contract.”

It was a firm declaration.

Ga-eul’s father, who was angry at Ga-hyeon, said in embarrassment.

“Gaeul, I think you misunderstand something. “I’m not trying to stop Gahyeon from doing art.”

The appearance was very low-key. So much so that it seems servile to show to your children.

“… Don’t you think there’s just something a little useless about the support department? I think too much money has been allocated to education and daily necessities. “If Dad gets that money, he can use it more efficiently.”

Ga Eul ignored her father’s words and looked at me and said,

“Team Leader Seon, please treat the contract as never happened.”

Ga Eul’s eyes were full of sadness and earnestness as she said those words.

I felt like I knew what she wanted from those eyes.

“If Gaeul’s intentions are like this, there’s nothing we can do. “We will proceed with the contract after looking into it a little more.”

I lived up to those expectations.

Gaeul’s father, embarrassed by the sudden change in the situation, lowered his head and said.

“If Gaeul’s will is like this, there’s nothing we can do… . “Now, please sign a contract on these terms.”

He opened the contract and started signing it so I could leave.

I was embarrassed and stopped him.

“Do you mind if I don’t check the contract further?”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

“You can ask a lawyer to check. “There is no need to rush things like this.”

“hahahaha, I’ve lived a life where I have to look at contracts a lot. “I can judge this much.”

Gaeul’s father took out the ink from the living room shelf, scratched his head, looked at Gaeul’s eyes, and said servilely.

“ah… Also, please refer to here for the deposit account for the down payment.”

The old smartphone he gave me had my bank account written on it.

I took a picture of the number and asked it to be sent as a message.

Autumn’s father then smiled happily and signed all the necessary parts of the contract.

That sight was quite disturbing.

[Quest complete! You will receive a fragment of memory as a reward.]

Judging from the quest completion window that appears, it seems that Ga Eul has joined Two Bear.

“Okay then, let’s just get up and take a look. “Thank you for your hospitality.”

“thank you. Team Leader Seon!”

Autumn’s father stood up and gave a 90-degree bow to me as he prepared to leave.

If you look at it at face value, it was quite a burdensome treatment to give to me, who looks about 20 years younger than me.

To escape this uncomfortable atmosphere, I quickly packed my bags and left the house.

“I’ll see you off, Team Leader Seon!”

Ga Eul hurried out and followed me, breaking off her white sneakers and putting them on.

Ga Eul came out with great momentum and carefully followed behind me, one step behind me.

I thought about that fall. No matter what I say to her now, it might feel like cheap sympathy.

So I couldn’t speak.

Even though Ga Eul followed along, she stayed silent as if she felt uncomfortable talking to me.

We came down the hill without saying anything.

It wasn’t until we got down to where the car was parked that Ga Eul spoke to me.

“Team Leader Seon.”

“huh?”

“The agency told me this morning. “The part-time job I did was also adult work.”

“It did.”

“Then I’m doing adult things, so why don’t I have adult rights?”

Ga Eul looked very tired as she said those words.

Autumn became an adult for her younger brother. He quit school and devoted his life to working part-time every day.

However, when there is a need for one’s rights, one must be swayed by an adult.

Just like my older sister who raised me in place of my parents.

“I work hard to take responsibility, but why do I have no authority?”

“… .”

If you simply say positively to that question, she will accept. That it will get better with time.

And nothing will happen.

But my relationship with her would change if I said what was in my head. And it will take a lot of my time and money.

The scales in my head were fluctuating.

In the midst of intense profit and loss calculations, I made a decision. I decided to take this moment as an opportunity to win the favor of a future top star with S-level talent.

I just wanted to think like that.

Even if it’s a bit of a stretch.

“Mr. Autumn. “Can I speak comfortably from now on?”

“… Yes, as much as you want.”

I asked right away.

“Why did you ask me why I have responsibilities as an adult but have no rights?”

Ga Eul just nodded silently.

“That’s because you’re still a kid.”

It was quite an old-fashioned remark.

Ga Eul listened to my remarks and looked at me with a blank expression, as if she hadn’t heard me clearly.

And by the look on my face, she seemed to realize that she had not misheard.

Finally, Ga Eul, who saw the contents in the face, raised her voice and spoke as if her buried emotions had burst out.

“… However, Team Leader Sun also said that I was doing an adult’s job. But do I still have to be swayed?”

“Oh, I have to swing it.”

Then, a clear look of anger began to appear on Ga Eul’s face.

I looked at her face and spoke in a more serious voice than ever.

“You must be actively supported and protected so that you can pursue your dreams. If you spend immature time, you have to be forced to study and sometimes you have to listen to life know-how.”

Because I don’t want her to regret it in the future.

“You have to eat a variety of foods so that you can get nutrients evenly, and if you fall into the wrong path, you have to listen to old-fashioned sermons.”

I hope she stays healthy in the future.

“So that you can become a better person. In order to become a happier person, Autumn must be swayed by someone called an adult.”

That was the child’s right and the adult’s duty.

“That’s because you’re still a child.”

Ga Eul listened to me in silence and made a strange expression, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

Gradually, all those emotions came together.

And he expressed it to me without any addition or subtraction.

“… “It’s an overly idealistic story.”

She screamed as if she was letting out all the anger she had been suppressing all along.

“To me, an adult wasn’t that kind of person. He was just the kind of person who always made me give up one by one! “They were selfish people who only cared about themselves!”

“Not everyone becomes an adult just because they get older.”

“Then, where is that adult?”

I lowered my head, looked Ga Eul in the eye, and spoke.

“So, I will become your adult.”

“… yes?”

“Lest you be sacrificed to duty. So as not to be weighed down by responsibility. “So that you can only dream like a child.”

Just like my older sister did to me.

“I will make it happen.”

“… .”

Clear tears were flowing from Ga Eul’s eyes as she looked at me.

A long silence passed.

After that silence, Ga Eul finally opened her mouth.

“… how.”

If you ask me that, I’m at a loss for an answer. Right now I can’t show anything.

I said awkwardly.

“Can’t we prove that gradually in the future?”

I took out the tissues I had kept for winter use and wiped her tears.

Even though Ga Eul was shedding tears, she looked into my eyes and said,

“Well, first, please do me a favor.”

“Anything I can do.”

She hesitated for a moment and spoke cautiously while looking at me.

“… wait for a sec, … “Hug me for a moment.”

Instead of answering, I hugged Ga Eul tightly.

Ga Eul buried her head in my chest and hugged me carefully.

With all my might, as if I didn’t want to let go.

***

Midwinter, who was practicing alone in the mirror in the far corner of the training room with the lights turned down as much as possible, was alerted by the sudden appearance of a new face.

Winter looked at the unknown being through the small window of the practice room.

The impression of an unknown being with slightly brown, shiny hair and a dog-like face was summed up in one word.

‘pretty… .’

Even though she was wearing simple clothes such as wide jeans and a plain t-shirt, she seemed to be shining brightly.

Winter felt a sense of defeat inside, thinking, ‘That kind of kid is becoming an idol.’

‘I’m sure Teacher Taeyang likes such a pretty girl… .’

Winter’s thoughts turned increasingly negative.

In her opinion, there was a huge gap between herself and that pretty child, who had been able to come this far by relying on the warmth of the sun.

Winter looked away from the window and squatted in the practice room.

And I imagined myself being pushed aside by the trainees selected one by one by Taeyang, becoming a miserable place.

If the sun was the one who brought out talent in the weak, dark, and miserable self, it would be easier for such a child to develop higher talents.

Naturally, winter will be left out in that situation.

Even if such a situation came, she had faith that the sun would not let her go.

However, she wondered if she could bear the guilt of placing such a burden on Taeyang.

Despite that, I also thought that I wanted to continue to stay by the side, relying on the kindness of the sun.

Winter felt very ugly about herself.

Winter put her head between her knees and was sucked into her own dark room of self-blame and self-loathing.

At that time, someone appeared to talk to her.

“… Are you by any chance Two Bear’s trainee?”

It was a pretty kid I just saw.

“… yes. “I’m sorry, but I’m Midwinter, a trainee at Two Bear.”

Winter spoke tremblingly, unable to meet her eyes, which were so bright.

Looking at such a winter, the pretty child, namely Autumn, spoke with a bright smile.

“and! Nice to meet you! “My name is Ga-eul Yoo, and I will be a trainee here from now on!”

Winter, intimidated by the bright energy of autumn, answered awkwardly, like a machine reading a Korean language book.

“… Ha, ha, nice to meet you.”

“I’m so happy to see you too! Ah, this has already been said. How old are you? Is this your sister? Is it your younger brother? Or is it the same age? Oh, I’m only 17 years old. If I had gone to high school, I would have been a sophomore, but I dropped out, so I can’t call myself a sophomore! “How old are you, senior?”

Winter couldn’t help but be taken aback by the aggressive approach of autumn, wagging its tail to show intimacy like a golden retriever visiting a dog cafe.

“ah… I am only 16… ”

“Oh, you are 16! Well, that’s my brother! So cute! Oh, I don’t intend to do anything weird just because I’m old, so please don’t worry! Rather, I think of him as a senior and have a lot of thoughts to serve him! I’m lacking, but I hope you’ll tell me more things in the future! Of course, I don’t intend to cause a nuisance just by asking questions. I will learn with all my might, even if I stay up all night, and become a proud member who fulfills the standards of seniors!”

In the rush of autumn with extreme extroversion and intimacy, the natural Bonjinta Winter, the king of introversion, could only nod her head like a solar-powered doll.

‘Still, I think he’s a good person.’

Winter was very fortunate.

“But I think those black Samdidas sweats are so cute! Does the overfit look a bit like I’m wearing my dad’s clothes? That’s not to say they don’t fit in! It’s because it looks a bit like a flying squirrel and is so cute and suits it well! “Do you usually like overfitting?”

Winter strengthened my heart.

‘It must not have been easy for that person to approach someone like me. I need to be brave so you don’t feel embarrassed! Let’s change. ‘So as not to embarrass Teacher Taeyang.’

Winter gathered courage and explained the clothes she was wearing.

“I don’t particularly like overfitting. This is just Teacher Taeyang… No, because it was the clothes that Team Leader Seon wore… .”

“… yes?”

Winter, who had been hesitant to speak, raised her head in surprise at the sudden change in her voice.

When I looked up, the sweetness that Ga Eul had shown until now had disappeared like a lie.

“… “What did you just say?”

There was still a smile on Ga Eul’s lips as she said that, but somehow that smile felt threatening.

Winter screamed inside.

‘Please save Teacher Taeyang!’
