46 – Recruit him?
Episode 46
Winter said, sitting in the passenger seat.
“I think Gaeul is a really nice person. “He conversed skillfully with me, even though my sociability was nothing short of trash.”
“No, it’s not even trash.”
“I thought trash was actually a pure word… . “Do you think Teacher Taeyang highly values my sociability?”
Winter said, shaking her head.
“… As expected, I feel embarrassed when I’m in front of Teacher Taeyang. I am such a great person… .”
Also, it seems that winter’s unique negative mode has been activated.
I spoke firmly, hoping to give her confidence.
“Don’t belittle yourself too much. Your sociability is not trash. It just sucks!”
She looked puzzled by my aggressive defense.
“… Uh, thank you?”
It seems he took the encouragement positively. It was a very good attitude.
“Anyway, how about a class with trainer Hyerin Lee? “The boss is positive about hiring him officially.”
If Gyeol-gyeol and Ga-eul also think positively of Hye-rin Lee, her hiring will probably be confirmed.
“Teacher Hyerin?”
Winter thought for a moment and then said.
“I’m so sorry that I feel like I’m being judgmental, but for now, I’ll just say whatever comes to mind. I think Teacher Hyerin is thorough and professional when it comes to training. “Sometimes I think it’s too hard, but I feel like I’m improving, so I believe in it and follow it.”
Even considering that I would speak conservatively because it was my job, it was a fairly good evaluation.
Just as Cheon A-ram, Seo Su-yeon, and I viewed her well, it seemed like she viewed winter as well.
“But I think it was a little difficult to get to know him because he doesn’t talk about personal things very often. I’m also sociable… It’s even worse because it’s low-key.”
To be honest, I also had a hard time getting close to Hye-rin Lee. Even more so after Gaeul’s evaluation last time… .
It would be too much of an expectation to ask for something that you yourself cannot do.
Unfortunately, it seemed like Winter and Lee Hye-rin would have to remain in a relationship where they only did what they wanted to do.
… What should I do? Considering that the talent that Cheon A-ram allows is very rare, I have to endure that much.
“But I think Gaeul has changed a lot since she joined. “Because my sister led the mood, we ended up laughing a lot with each other even during difficult training sessions.”
“really?”
“yes!”
“What a relief.”
After hearing that, I thought that recruiting Gaeul was a great decision.
It seemed like if she could lead the mood, discord within the team could be minimized.
“But these days, it seems like Teacher Hyerin is reluctant to see Gaeul. “What is the reason?”
“huh?”
Are you reluctant to go with Gaeul, the Golden Retriever herself? Is that possible?
“Winter, you must have misunderstood something. “Is there anyone in the world who would hate Gaeul?”
“Is that right?”
Winter sat in the passenger seat and spoke softly.
As I listened to that voice and chimed in appropriately, I remembered the time when I used to drive her to the dance studio.
Perhaps because of the memory correction, I found this moment quite enjoyable.
But this feeling is something only I feel.
If you look at it from Winter’s perspective, it would be closer to working overtime without notice with your boss.
Considering the cold gaze shown earlier, this judgment was certain.
But seeing them laughing and talking like that made me feel a little better now.
Then I’ll have to get over it.
While recognizing that what I was about to say was no different than stepping on a land mine, I brought it up in order not to leave any resentment behind.
“Are you feeling better?”
“… How are you feeling?”
“You must have felt very embarrassed because you were asked to do something so suddenly. Sorry. But this is what you need to do to succeed. “I will guarantee it.”
“no! no! “I’ve never been offended or felt embarrassed?”
“Hey, it’s okay to be a little honest. “We’re in a relationship where we can open up to that level of feelings, right?”
You know the friendship you built while eating together at your sister’s house?
Let’s talk about this level of dissatisfaction comfortably. You have to be open about your feelings to maintain a healthy relationship.
“I have none of that! “I’m so happy that I can spend time with Team Leader Seon now!”
After finishing speaking, Winter said with a bright red face.
“oh… , I didn’t mean to cause misunderstanding what I just said. In that human sense… ”
“Oh, don’t worry. Didn’t you say that because you felt a strong friendship with me? I’m not a self-conscious adolescent middle school student, so would you misunderstand that?”
I have lived a life that I can be confident in as a veteran manager.
Isn’t there a way for me to look at the idol in charge that way?
There’s no way even Winter could think of an old man like me that way.
At my confident words, Winter nodded with a confused face and said,
“… is that so.”
“huh. “It’s like that.”
Then, what was that gaze that Kyeol-gyeol showed me a while ago?
I didn’t dwell on that question.
“But winter. I didn’t think I was offended for nothing. Didn’t you just look at me with eyes like trash?”
“I’m the sun team leader? when?”
“You know when Ga-geul collapsed and I lifted him up to support him. At that time, your gaze was as if you were watching something go wrong.”
… Honestly, I was scared. Winter. Even though I know what kind of child you are, I get scared in front of those eyes.
Winter spoke softly, as if realizing it.
“… Oh, that’s when.”
And she said, banging her head on the passenger’s dashboard.
thud!
“really sorry. To see Team Leader Sun with those eyes.”
I hit it so hard that the car vibrated slightly.
“No, Winter, I’m fine, so don’t do that! “How precious is your face?”
Why is there no middle for this one?
I parked the car and looked closely to see if winter had hurt my forehead. Fortunately, there were no injuries other than a little redness.
I sighed a little and said.
“Winter. I’m sorry to say it this way, but I want you to remember that you are a very important asset. “Your body is not yours alone.”
“… “Then who do I belong to?”
Winter looked at me with expectant eyes.
It was hard to know what he wanted, so I just said what I had to say.
“Who is who is the company.”
“… “It’s the company’s.”
Winter, who answered, looked downcast for no reason.
… Did I miss something again?
I felt embarrassed and started driving again.
When I passed the main road and almost reached my destination, Winter quietly repeated my name.
“Teacher Taeyang.”
“Yeah, why winter?”
“What do you think of Gaeul, Teacher Taeyang?”
“Autumn?”
It felt like a somewhat unexpected question, but I answered it obediently because I thought it might spark curiosity.
“She is affectionate, responsible, sincere, approaches people easily, sings well, and is pretty.”
“… “It’s perfect.”
“Well, when it comes to becoming a singer, you’re not perfect.”
There was a lot more to say about what kind of person Gaeul was.
However, it was not polite to tell the whole story without asking the person’s permission.
So I kept it simple like this.
Winter was nodding her head as if that fragmentary story was enough.
“Teacher Taeyang.”
It was the same twist as before.
But somehow, those words felt delicate and dangerous.
I was concerned about that, so I answered with as much kindness as I could.
“Yes, winter. Is there anything else you want to ask?”
“I don’t want to ask. But there is something I want to say.”
“What?”
“… “You need to take Gaeul with you on your next overtime shift.”
Winter’s face as she said those words showed pain, as if she didn’t want to say these words.
… I’m the one who made those words come out of the mouth of that born idiot.
“Okay, next time I’ll bring Gaeul.”
I’m really sorry for dragging you while you were resting.
Next to me, who was feeling guilty, Winter spoke quietly as if she was making a promise.
“… “I will make sure everyone is happy.”
I did not understand what those determined words meant.
***
The reason I decided to do volunteer work at this orphanage was because I coveted the excitement that bubble showers would experience. But if you ask me if I was aiming for just that, I will shake my head.
I was looking to recruit a third member here.
No matter what anyone says, the main character of the bubble shower is Ha-neul Yoon, who has set the internet on fire with her endless volunteer work, dozens of good stories, and a face without makeup.
I was sure because I was the one who researched her in depth, reading related articles at the time with interest and looking beyond the data after her debut to even her trainee days.
If you recruit Ha-neul Yoon, you will not regret it.
I haven’t seen her in person, so I couldn’t check her detailed stats, but when I looked at the data, her appearance showed such a quality that it seemed strange that neither dancing nor singing were popular.
I had a feeling that the potential of major stats would be similar to Gyeolgi.
In addition, she had a habit of doing good deeds, and her attitude of being considerate and caring for all staff members was famous within the industry.
If she was like this, it seemed like she wouldn’t even smell Cheon A-ram’s sense of smell.
Moreover, rather than aiming for the post-Yoon Ha-neul while doing volunteer work from now on, I thought that recruiting Ha-neul Yoon himself, who was already predicted to be the winner, would provide more assurance.
All of these reasons made my heart turn to Yoon Ha-neul.
Because of that, I was looking forward to meeting her at the orphanage and trying to recruit her.
“Do you have something to say?”
Therefore, I did not expect this situation at all.
“yes… “I have something to say.”
“hmm… “Please feel free to speak.”
“… Would you like to try it with our Two Bear Entertainment?”
Who would have thought that they would be trying to recruit Jin Yeoreum, the third generation of a conglomerate who was involved in a doping controversy, which was the turning point for Yoon Ha-neul.
