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

39 – I can’t stand Geomseong.

Episode 39

When I got home, I sat next to my sister, who was drinking a can of beer while wearing a hydration pack, and watched the news together.

The news was reporting on the actions of a mysterious murderer who was at the height of notoriety during this time.

When my sister saw the news, she clicked her tongue and said,

“I’m scared of this, so I’d rather go outside alone.”

The anchor moved on to the next news after urging anyone who was suspicious to actively report it to the police. This news was that a sasaeng fan carried out an acid attack on the idol he was obsessed with.

A sasaeng fan who was usually obsessed with an idol began to have delusions that he was dating the idol.

However, the idol treated the sasaeng fan only as one of his fans, and the sasaeng fan, who continued his delusion in anger at the gap between reality, committed an acid attack.

In the meantime, the manager threw himself to stop the incident and the idol was safe, but the manager was taken to the hospital.

My sister took a sip of beer and asked me vaguely as if she wasn’t really interested.

“You don’t have to go through something like that, right?”

“… .”

When I remained silent, my sister looked away from the TV and spoke, slightly raising her voice.

“I heard you went in with the title of team leader? “Then shouldn’t all you have to do is tell the office to do this and that?”

“Even if you have the title of team leader and get paid more, you have to run on site. There is no one right now… .”

In the first place, I was the one running on site in the previous episode even though the director was appointed.

“No, bastard. “So you were going to do something so dangerous?”

I was so shocked that I calmed my sister down.

“No, that’s right, you don’t experience anything that dangerous!”

My sister calmed down only after I promised to avoid participating in field work as much as possible and declared that I would selfishly try to survive first.

But after my sister calmed down, I was now anxious.

This is because as I was assuming the situation to argue, countless possibilities of natural disasters came to mind.

I remembered the incidents and accidents that would happen in the future.

As much as the entertainment industry is an industry called the whirlwind of desire, psychos are fierce.

It’s just that guys like the hydrochloric acid terrorists don’t appear on the news, but when they’re bored, they pop up one by one.

It doesn’t come out well with hydrochloric acid like that, but the cutter knife was hit by my foot.

Even in a negative direction, there were many people who tried to engrave themselves on the star’s head.

Also, once you set up an overseas schedule, you will experience with your own body how wonderful domestic security was.

In the previous episode, I had the experience of tearing my forehead while trying to stop an attacking fan.

Yes. If you live in the entertainment industry like this, mishaps can happen at any time.

How reassuring would it be to have a ‘sense of swordsmanship’ in such a crisis?

I clicked on the reward in the quest window and checked the information about ‘Sword Saint’s Sense’ again.

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

Although the name of the man named Geomseong was not mentioned, it was extremely reassuring to hear that he was the best in human history.

If I borrowed that guy’s senses, I thought I could easily beat up two or three acid terrorists.

In the entertainment industry, where you don’t know what will happen, you have insurance. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted it.

‘I’ll give you money, so do you want to beat up that guy? If you get hit, you might be able to change your habit.’

Suddenly, Cheon A-ram’s words came to mind.

Somehow that seemed quite plausible.

ah… , Winter is able to pay for it because she has money from her grandfather.

But if you don’t agree, won’t you just go to jail?

It’s natural to strain your relationship with Gaeul.

I continued to worry intensely, rolling around on the sofa.

At that time, a hammer stuck between the shelf and the wall caught my eye.

I thought as I looked at that hammer. And after seeing the contents of the quest, I was convinced.

All you had to do was beat it with anything.

***

The next day, I finished my schedule and stood in front of Gaeul’s house.

The plan was like this.

I propose a bet to Father Autumn.

It says that if I win at rock-paper-scissors, I will be paid 3 million won immediately, and if I lose, I will have to be beaten with this mallet.

Autumn’s father, who seemed interested in gambling, would accept this offer.

If you take the risk of getting hit with a mallet, why would you refuse to receive 3 million won for free?

However, this proposal has pitfalls.

It is that he uses the ‘memory of possibility’, the reward he received the other day, to know in advance what Autumn’s father will pay and whether he will sue.

How can you beat someone who knows the future? Naturally, Autumn’s father gets beaten up in succession. Until the beating is acknowledged and the quest is completed.

In this way, Gaeul and Gahyeon prevent their father from being exposed to the harsh baptism with a hammer.

As if the memory of the last time signing a contract was just a dream, the Autumn family unites as one in the face of an external enemy.

It will be revealed then. He said he held back tears and took the beating of love for peace in the family.

Everyone is moved by the twist and gives a standing ovation.

A hopeful song plays in the background and we hold hands, form a circle, and run to the gambling treatment center.

… right. Actually, it’s just bullsh*t.

However, if combined with compensation, it seemed like the intention of opposing gambling could be shown.

Even so, you can’t avoid looking like a crazy person… . No, I guess I can’t avoid criminal charges?

In everything in this world, if you gain something, you also lose something. I made up my mind.

What decision did I make before returning?

Haven’t you decided to follow whatever Quest tells you to bark like a dog or bite?

It was time to remember our original intentions.

If it was a quest I could do, I had to try it, regardless of whether I looked like a psycho, a selfish asshole, or the risk of being sued.

Because that is the way to success.

If you deny faith in the system, your foundation will collapse.

I got stabbed in the back for ignoring the quest in the previous episode, but this time I have to trust it.

Still, it didn’t mean I didn’t have insurance.

I opened the reward window and checked. There was a memory of the potential gained by recruiting Ga Eul.

If I use this, I’ll be able to see the most likely future so I can see what happens after I beat up Autumn’s father. If you really get sued or screwed up in that future, you can just pretend it never happened and go home. The risk disappears.

It’s actually a bonus to know what Autumn’s father comes up with in Rock, Paper, Scissors.

[Would you like to use ‘Memory of Possibility’?]

“Okay, let’s use it now. use!”

Nothing happened.

“… ?”

I kept saying it because I thought it was not recognized, but the situation still didn’t change.

“What is this? Is it an error?”

At that time, a message appeared in front of my eyes as if to inform me that it was not an error.

[Memories of Possibilities have been used on appropriate targets.]

Embarrassed, I scrambled the message with my hand. There was no change.

“… Who is the right target?”

that’s my reward Why are you writing to others?

At that time, a scream was heard along with the sound of something breaking in Gae-gae’s house.

Without even having time to think, I reflexively ran towards Ga Eul’s house.

***

Autumn finished her hard training.

The training was more difficult and difficult than the work she did when she worked part-time, but she didn’t feel any pain.

Because this is what autumn wanted to do.

The life that has continued these days has been a series of sweet events, like a dream.

The current reality of being able to run toward one’s dreams without giving up on Gahyeon was something Gaeul was reluctant to even imagine.

It was so sweet, but I thought it was an impossible situation.

But the environment surrounding autumn changed in an instant.

Like Cinderella enchanted, she could walk towards the ball.

Autumn savored the sweet reality on the subway carrying office workers leaving work. And I remembered a man who created this dreamlike situation.

He treated autumn like a child.

Like an immature child who has to take care of everything.

To be honest, I was happy with the treatment.

It was the first time in my life to receive such unconditional care.

When I was with Taeyang, I felt a sense of stability that I had never felt while being with anyone else in the world.

… But it was also somehow sad.

Autumn held that feeling of bearing fruit in one side of her heart like a treasure.

She got out of the subway and walked home.

I said hello to Gahyeon, thinking of my father, who doesn’t seem to be able to see his face wherever he goes these days.

“Gahyeon, your sister is here!”

However, what caught Gaeul’s eyes was not her younger brother Yu Gahyeon, but Gaeul’s father Yoo Daecheol.

Ga Eul was slightly surprised, but greeted him casually.

“Your father has come home.”

But somehow the atmosphere was strange.

Autumn’s father’s eyes were bloodshot and his face turned red.

The body smelled strongly of alcohol.

He probably seemed drunk.

“… Ugh.”

Ga Eul, who was examining her father’s complexion, was startled by a sudden groan and looked toward the kitchen.

Gahyeon was there, lying down, holding her stomach as if she was in pain.

“Gahyeon!”

Gahyeon was panting and sweating as if she was having trouble enduring the pain.

Gaeul carefully removed Gahyeon’s hand with trembling hands and then checked her abdomen.

There was a blue bruise.

The culprit was obvious.

Ga Eul said, glaring at her father like a mother bird facing a snake.

“Why did you do this!”

“… I lost a little bit of money, and it started to clatter like hell. “You don’t even know your own father.”

It seemed that Ga Eul’s father had turned to gambling again.

Fall was expected.

Because her father was a vicious gambling addict.

I thought there was no way he would stop gambling.

Because of that, I promised to use only 5 million won for gambling as the next best option.

“I’m okay with losing money, so let’s get Gahyeon to the hospital… .”

“… “It’s not okay at all to lose money, sister.”

“Gahyeon, your sister will talk, so stay still!”

Autumn’s father was looking at Gahyeon with bloodshot eyes. Autumn was scary. First of all, I wanted to take Gahyeon to the hospital.

Gahyeon said, as if she didn’t know how autumn felt.

“My father lost the entire down payment that my sister received yesterday.”

“… uh?”

I asked, hoping it wasn’t fall.

“Are you talking about that 5 million won?”

“No, all the money I received.”

She felt short of breath,

“When I asked him for some money to buy a long-distance dinner, he said he didn’t have any.”

“Isn’t it Dad? “Is Gahyeon misunderstanding?”

“… .”

Ga Eul’s father didn’t answer but drank a glass of soju.

Attitude to avoid problems when they arise.

It was a sight that Ga Eul’s father was familiar with.

She knew the answer from that attitude.

It seemed like my father really lost all his money gambling.

“… “What kind of money is that?”

“… .”

“That’s the money Gahyeon should use to do art and go to college!”

Ga Eul’s father spoke as if he was annoyed at Ga Eul, who was glaring at her with red eyes.

“… Autumn. I also tried to do well. The hardest thing for me right now is me. So don’t provoke me too much.”

The moment she heard those words, something inside Ga Eul seemed to snap.

“… Don’t provoke me? “The hardest thing is being a dad?”

Autumn always hid it with a cheerful smile.

He smiled sheepishly as if his current pain was no big deal.

“It’s harder for me!”

But in fact, she was screaming inside.

“Work at least three part-time jobs every day! After working like that, I come back and clean, do laundry, and cook! Even when my middle school friends ask me to meet up with them every now and then, I always refuse! And then I accepted that I would no longer be contacted! I just watch with envy as high school kids study for their exams at a cafe! Give up pretty clothes! Give up your cute doll! I gave up on dance club activities! Give up karaoke too! “It means I gave up all the happiness I had!”

Still, I endured it.

If Ga Eul doesn’t give up, if she doesn’t hold back, this precarious family will fall apart right away.

However, the resentment he had been suppressing was relieved by one insensitive word from his father.

“What the hell did my father give up on!”

As if screaming in autumn, he said with anger.

Hearing those words, Autumn’s father spoke with mad anger.

“… what did i give up? Are you ignoring me like Gahyeon?”

The situation happened suddenly.

Autumn’s father, who had suddenly risen from his seat, jumped out and began strangling Autumn.

“Ugh… , dad… sleep… .”

“How many things have I given up! If it wasn’t for you… . If it wasn’t for you guys!”

I couldn’t breathe.

Ga Eul’s mind began to blur as she was pushed against the wall of the narrow room and strangled.

Through that faint spirit, a message was reflected in Autumn’s eyes.
