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

93 – Did You Believe It?

Episode 93

When I stopped by the daycare center where I met Yeoreum again after a long time, I had to face a crowd of children as soon as I opened the door.

“It’s Team Leader Seon!”

“Really? “You didn’t abandon us?”

“I thought I was abandoned too.”

“… “When did you say I threw it away?”

Please don’t make scary accusations, it’s not like it’s a joke at an orphanage…

I’ve never even been able to get married, let alone have a child.

“And! Team Leader Seon, please dance again!”

“Dancing? Hey, our team leader’s girl group dance is amazing!”

“… “Where did you learn that from?”

“Oppa Taeyang! Trouble Chaser! Trouble Chaser!”

Whenever I saw them, they were extremely active children.

So much so that within a minute of coming in, he asked for a sticky s*xy dance.

“No, guys, it’s nice to see you after a long time and I’d like to do something for you, but I told you I’ll never dance again. Even then, if it’s just once, you won’t do it again?”

“Did you believe that?”

I believed it. You b*stard.

At that time, Ha-neul Yoon, wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen and said hello.

“Team Leader Seon? “It’s been a while since you came!”

“Nice to meet you. Mr. Sky. “Has anything special happened at the orphanage so far?”

She said, wiping her hands on her apron.

“There were a lot of special events.”

“What happened?”

Yoon Ha-neul smiled and said.

“Since Yeoreum came here, support from Jinkang has continued, and manpower, facilities, and supplies have been abundant. You won’t have to do anything like volunteer cleaning bathrooms anymore, right? There’s even a bidet here!”

“Thank god. Summer will be really happy too.”

“Still, the kids seem to miss the days when Yeoreum was always around.”

“… As someone who stole Yeoreum, it’s hard to look up.”

While I was talking with Ha-neul Yoon, the dancers next to me who were chanting various dance moves they wanted were pushed out. It was the children who especially followed Winter and Autumn that showed unexpected overpowering ability. The children came up to me and asked.

“What about Taeyang and Winter?”

“Isn’t Gaeul here? Brother?”

I delivered the sad news to those children.

“Winter and fall couldn’t come this time. “Everyone has something to do.”

“… A.”

“It’s hot, it’s hot.”

“Simai.”

“Let’s all go back.”

“… What a waste. “I wanted to hear about blue baleen whales.”

With that, he said to the children who had begun to disperse as if they had no business left.

“Yeoreum came instead?”

While the children who were looking at me blankly had their eyes filled with surprise, the door behind me opened and Summer appeared.

“Guys, it’s been a while!”

“Wow!”

“Summer Sister!”

The children rushed towards Yeoreum like a swarm of zombies who had discovered a living creature.

The momentum was unusual.

If this continued, it seemed like someone would get hurt.

I spoke urgently to Ha-neul Yoon while protecting the children and Yeo-reum as best as I could.

“Haneul, please stop with me. “If I do something wrong, the kids will get hurt!”

“Summer!”

… No, don’t get involved either. Stop him. A little.

***

The children were intertwined, centered around Jin Yeo-reo.

The buzzing was noisy, as if he had to get Yeoreum’s attention more than anyone else.

Summer said something to stop the children’s talk, as if it was embarrassing, but even so, she couldn’t hide the small smile that appeared.

Yoon Ha-neul, who was looking at that scene as if it was absurd, said to me.

“When summer was around, I avoided it because it was scary and strict, but now that it’s gone, I’m stuck with it. Does it mean that you know something is precious only when you don’t have it?”

I said, happily looking at summer.

“You must have missed it. Summer is a person worthy of that. I too would miss Mr. Summer if he were to disappear. “A lot.”

Because he sensed her feelings, he ran to the airport and caught her.

And I had no regrets about that choice.

“I guess so. I, too, will miss Yeoreum if she disappears. … I didn’t show it, but I was really heartbroken when Yeoreum suddenly decided to study abroad. “When I first heard the news, I acted outwardly saying I supported your choice, but when I got home, I regretted that I should have gotten down on my knees and begged you not to go.”

Yoon Ha-neul looked back at me with her unique light blue hair flowing and said.

“That’s why I was so grateful that Team Leader Sun caught Yeoreum. We don’t see her as often as we did when we were volunteering together, but unlike in the US, you can see her whenever you want, right? Like now.”

There was pure relief on her face.

“How did Mr. Haneul become in such a relationship with Mr. Yeoreum?”

“What kind of relationship is it?”

“A relationship where you can support, cheer, and miss.”

“Are you a friend?”

“He’s a very good friend.”

“… “He’s a good friend.”

In the previous episode, I thought that the relationship between the two would not be good as I saw the contrast between Jin Yeo-reum, who was caught up in the third-generation chaebol gate and ended up giving up her volunteer work, and Yoon Ha-neul, who succeeded in making her fly as her sacrifice. However, looking at her appearance now, I decided that that assumption was a very big misunderstanding.

Still, it was questionable how two people with completely different images became friends.

“Did I tell you that I also did rhythmic gymnastics when I was young?”

It was my first time hearing this story.

I shook my head slightly.

“I didn’t have great talent like Yeoreum. I couldn’t admit it at the time because I was too proud, but I think she was close to a common criminal. Still, I didn’t want to lose to a genius named Jin Yeoreum. Even though I don’t know the person involved at all, I call myself a rival. … “I had too much pride to give up simply because I had different talents.”

Since she was young, all media have focused all their attention on Jin Summer, hailing her as the genius of her century. Yoon Ha-neul was in a corner where her focus could not reach, and in the name of motivation, she would have had to just watch the spotlight. Overcoming it and choosing to take on the challenge was too devaluing to be lumped together with just one word, pride.

“That’s a great competitive spirit.”

“… A competitive spirit? … That’s right. That’s right. I wanted to move up to the same position as Yeoreum. So, I wanted to let Yeoreum, who is looking at the bay in the distance, know that I, a human being, can attack at any time. I wanted to become a true rival who was on equal footing. … But the ending was a catastrophe, just as Team Leader Seon knows.”

“…”

For a moment, we saw Summer bursting into laughter among the kids, unable to say anything.

“The ending of Mr. Summer’s story has not yet come out, and it is not a catastrophe. And I won’t let that happen.”

“… “I look forward to it.”

Yoon Ha-neul looked at me with a refreshing smile and continued speaking.

“Anyway, after I intentionally retired this summer, I felt like I had lost my purpose. Should I say that it feels like the place that was considered the reaching point of the race was suddenly bombed and collapsed? The motivation to put in the effort disappeared, so I also quit rhythmic gymnastics. Instead, I started trying to become an idol. “Rhythmic gymnastics was something I started with at the recommendation of my parents, and being an idol was something I originally wanted to do.”

The director came out and started welcoming summer. She, too, seemed happy to see the director and hugged him tightly.

It was a warm appearance, like the relationship between her grandmother and her granddaughter.

Yoon Ha-neul, who was looking at this with joy, said.

“While learning to dance and sing and occasionally doing volunteer work, I met Yeoreum here. When I encountered that miraculous coincidence, I thought: I said, ‘Ah, I have to become friends with this person no matter what.’ So I continued to dash indefinitely. “I have the mindset that there is no tree that won’t fall after taking a thousand cuts.”

“That’s how we became friends.”

“No, were you bothering me?”

… Where did the friendship go?

“But in the process, as we bickered about this and that, we talked a lot about our inner feelings, and we ended up talking so deeply that we revealed our true feelings that we had never revealed to anyone else. Among them, there was a secret that we both had an interest in idols.”

Yoon Ha-neul looked at her cheek and said.

“Do you know how happy I was at that time? “I changed from rhythmic gymnastics to idol, but I was really excited about the possibility of becoming Yeoreum’s rival again.”

I said with a small smile, looking at her cheeks that reminded me of a child.

“That expectation has become a reality.”

“That’s right. “I was looking forward to it, but it was a dream that neither Summer nor I thought would come true.”

“Yeoreum is a kinder and gentler child than anyone else. “She is so frustrated to watch from the side.”

“She’s a very rare type of person in the world these days.”

Yoon Ha-neul’s words were very similar to the impression I had while watching Jin Yeo-reo.

She was a frustratingly hot person.

So I wanted to protect it.

“Children like Summer are too innocent to live in a world like this. And the people in her world just took advantage of her, as if she were just a convenient friend. So Yeoreum must have been unhappy. … “If it weren’t for Team Leader Seon.”

“I didn’t do anything that great.”

“Hehe, I will refrain from being humble. “I have such great expectations from Team Leader Sun.”

That was an embarrassing expectation.

“Thank you. I will take good care of Summer in the future. So that I too can have the same dreams this summer.”

Seeing her like that, I strengthened my resolve and answered.

“I will do my best to ensure that those expectations do not turn into disappointment. I wanted to see it too. “The rivalry between you two.”

We looked at each other and laughed.

At that time, I heard applause from behind me.

Match! Match! Mate!

“It’s a really touching story.”

It was James O, wearing his trademark gold-rimmed glasses and gold glasses strap.

… Why are you here?
