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

5 – Picking up a minor’s number

Episode 5

The middle-aged police officer, who was very considerate, gave a long speech to Winter about how dangerous the stigma of being a member of the military was.

He also gave a good tip to keep as many photos as evidence of the agreement for a long period of time.

“Yes, I will leave as much evidence as possible. “So that we can gain the upper hand in legal battles later.”

“… Well, I don’t know what I’m telling the kid. Lastly, students, the scary thing about illegal behavior is not the immediate disadvantages. “Even if it seems like it ended well, it’s scary that it might explode again like a landmine at any moment and ruin your life!”

The policeman turned his head as if to leave, then added one last word.

“Live a good life! “Not for others, but for your life.”

“… Thank you for giving sincere advice to a trash person like me. “I will live a good life from now on.”

Winter said, nodding awkwardly with dead eyes.

If you were to evaluate it through the eyes of someone in the entertainment industry, it was an acting that was close to foot acting.

Even if I do it, I’m better than that.

From the status window I just saw, it looks like his acting talent is at B level, but I don’t know why he acts like that.

However, the middle-aged police officer seemed satisfied with such a crude performance and left work with the junior police officers, leaving only a courtesy promise to report the lost property.

“He is gone.”

“Yes.”

The incident was roughly concluded.

Since there is no need to contact the guardian, Winter will audition easily tomorrow.

Now all that’s left is to lean on the future, having never seen Winter, who debuted in the previous episode.

I wanted to make an appointment with Cheon Jong-Hoon right away, but with CH’s audition ahead of me, it seemed difficult to make an appointment. Therefore, bringing up Cheon Jong-hoon’s story will have to be done after his trainee career is canceled.

Of course, it would take some time for CH’s trainee life to come to an end in any way, so this seemed like a long-term plan.

First, you should leave your contact information and continue to interact while pretending to be a friendly neighbor.

The moment my trainee life is canceled, I will have to snatch up winter.

The problem here is that in order to keep in touch, you have to get that minor’s number.

If you say something wrong, the image of a good man that you have cultivated so far could change into the image of an ugly man who laughs at Minja.

I can’t see that with my eyes open.

“… “Hey, uncle.”

As I continued to worry about how to get a number and keep in touch, Winter seemed to find the silence awkward, so I started talking.

“Yes why?”

“… that is.”

“Are you trying to say thank you? “There’s no need to do that.”

All I needed was a number.

It’s not a useless thank you.

“No, that’s not it. It’s because I don’t have time to sleep.”

“… .”

“… I lost my wallet and have no money. Please let me sleep overnight. If you give me a blanket, I don’t mind the hallway. “I’ll squat down and sleep in the corner so as not to be distracting.”

Does this kid think and say that I’ve known him for 30 minutes?

I felt resentment because of the refusal to let outsiders into the house.

After thinking about it calmly, I thought it would be a pretty effective choice for receiving contact information and maintaining long-term contact.

Now that I live alone with my older sister, all I have to do is accept my older sister, who is the head of our family.

So, how will your sister react?

I ran the simulation in my head.

‘Can I let just one girl sleep over?’

‘Yes, of course not. Why the f*ck do you want to go to a motel or sleep at my house?’

I can’t do this. What about this?

From before, because of my arrogant personality and my older sister’s personality, which is close to individualism, we bumped into each other a lot.

I didn’t understand it in the previous episode.

I thought it would be nice if my sister lived with a little tolerance for others.

Now I understand why my sister had to do that, but… .

Anyway, it didn’t seem like it would be easy to convince my older sister and let her sleep.

“hmm… “I’m sorry, but that seems difficult.”

After hearing my answer, Winter began to tremble like a newborn deer.

Bead-like tears fell on the floor.

Why is he like this?

“… “You said it was okay if I asked.”

Winter spoke softly, as if trying to squeeze it out.

Honestly, it was so small I couldn’t hear it.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear you clearly because of the passing cars! “Can you say it one more time?”

“You said it’s not like there’s no one to help you! You said that if you can’t think of that person right now, you’ll help! There is no one like that! No friends, no acquaintances, no mom and dad, no everything! “Hwaaa…

Winter sobbed and held on to the leg of her pants.

“Huh, help me! “Please help me!”

Winter half knelt down and prayed to me.

I was ready to hit my head.

It was a sudden rush that left my mind blank.

I thought I was fine, but it seems I was more crowded than I thought.

I thought it was going to be a big problem, so I tried to be as upset as I could as a medical staff member seeing an emergency patient.

After five minutes of ignorant affirmation and praise, Winter calmed down.

“So it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I refused because I don’t think my landlord will allow it.”

“… really?”

“Okay, let’s call right now.”

I think it’s a slim possibility, but I thought that if my sister was in a good mood, she might give me permission.

I turned on the phone speaker so I could hear Winter, and then called my sister.

“Oh, sister, I have a favor to ask you.”

“… .”

“There is a really poor girl, and I wonder if we could let her sleep at my house for just one day. I came up from the countryside, but I just lost my wallet and have no money. I have no friends, no acquaintances, and anyway, there is no one who can help me. “He seems nice, let’s help him for one day.”

“… Why are you trying to pick up a human baby like a dog picking it up from the riverside? “I haven’t gotten over this habit from high school yet.”

What were my habits in high school?

“Are you going to make your house a base for runaways again?”

Oh, that was it.

If you looked a little miserable, anyone would let you sleep.

“I have no intention of letting even a single dog into my tiny house, so please be quiet and send him to a sauna or a runaway youth protection center. And what time is it now, and where are you going? ”

There were signs of an outpouring of words that were not wholesome for a young person to hear, so I hung up the phone hastily.

“I was rejected.”

“… I guess so.”

We cooled our heads against the cold wind blowing in from the river.

There is no easy task in this world.

“But you really didn’t come to Seoul without a plan, right?”

When I saw that the child named Winter fearlessly asked a stranger to sleep with him, it seemed like he was lacking in ideas.

However, I really didn’t think I came to Seoul from the countryside without a plan.

You must have at least reserved accommodation.

“Have you made a reservation for accommodation?”

“I made a reservation, but I only paid the deposit and the accommodation fee… .”

“Do you have any cards? Or an online account like TOTS or Gagao Bank.”

“The emergency card was in my lost wallet, and I don’t know how to use the online account. black… Wow, I’m sorry. “Sigh”

Winter, perhaps feeling frustrated, could not hold back her emotions and began to cry again.

I handed her a whole bunch of tissues, which I had been handing her one by one.

Then, Winter held a tissue in both hands and blew her nose, showing her efficiency in wiping away her tears.

As soon as the tears stopped, a pitiful appearance was revealed, with swollen eyes and smudged eyeliner.

I won’t be able to audition like that, so I’ll have to wash and sleep somewhere.

I made a bold investment.

I took out two bloody 50,000 won bills from my wallet and handed them to her.

“… “What is this?”

“What the heck, it’s a bloody 100,000 won. Receive it and use it to pay for the lodging you have booked. “I also add it to my car expenses when I return home.”

Winter looked at me with trembling eyes as I handed over the money.

“Wash, sleep, and do well at the audition.”

Winter, who had been keeping an eye on me, took the money as if she had made up her mind.

“Then, I… “Please give me your phone number.”

I toasted to myself.

He succeeded in picking up the number without being ugly.

“Why, pay me back? are you okay. “I don’t have a lot of money, but you can think of it as just helping me out.”

Feeling better, I spoke as softly as I could.

Think of 100,000 won as a down payment.

“Still, I think I have to repay what I received. “You said that a debt may be a small act of goodwill that is not even considered a debt to some people, but I don’t think that is a reason for me to be irresponsible.”

Winter calmed her trembling voice and spoke with confidence.

“So, let me ask you a favor. Please give me a chance to repay the favor, not the debt.”

The sight of Winter holding out her smartphone to me with both hands while saying that reminded me of myself before my return.

It’s about trusting people.

It’s a complacent attitude.

I guess I need to get scammed like that to come to my senses… .

Well, it wasn’t something to meddle with since we were only talking for a moment.

I nodded and left Winter’s phone number on my smartphone.

Winter, who wrote down if he was worried that I would leave another number, called again and laughed when he saw my cell phone ringing.

“Okay, I’ll go now. Good luck with the audition. “I’m saying this because I used to work in a related industry, but as long as you don’t do anything really weird, you’ll get good results.”

In the end, the most important talent in the idol world was appearance.

And Winter’s talent was outstanding.

“yes! Thank you so much. “I will definitely repay this favor!”

After watching Winter walking bravely carrying a bag as fat as a hermit crab, I headed back.

***

The next day, after sleeping late while unpacking my things until dawn, I was awakened by my smartphone ringing continuously without stopping.

The first couple of times, I ignored it, thinking it was an insurance company or telecommunications company employee who had been diligently working since the morning, but by the third time it rang, I thought it was no ordinary thing, so I got up with heavy eyelids and picked up my smartphone.

The phone number displayed was winter.

I suddenly woke up, cleared my throat three times, calmed my voice as much as I could, and then spoke.

“hello?”

“… “Mister, black, sad.”

“Okay Winter, what’s going on?”

“Wow… heheheung, man, I’m ruined.”

My heart was pounding.

It seems like the audition was hindered in some way.

The completion of the quest was glimmering.

However, in moments like these, I had to remain calm.

“Even if it feels like the world is ruined right now, when you look back, it’s surprisingly not a big deal. So, let’s take a breath and think calmly again from a third person’s perspective. “Are you really screwed?”

Winter then took a deep breath so that the smartphone could hear sound, and then began to think deeply. And after about 30 seconds, Winter cried again.

“Ugh, I’m really screwed!”

“Where are you now? “I’ll go right away, so just stay there.”

If you decided that you were screwed under calm thinking, you were really screwed.

I smiled and ran out.

Wait, my job referral.
