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

94 – Preparing to Blow Up the Broadcast

Episode 94

I asked as innocently as I could, hiding my surprise.

“… “How did composer James O come here?”

“It’s a hobby, well.”

So, why is that hobby called volunteer work at this orphanage?

He is also a very busy man.

There was at least some context to seeing Gaeul’s performance while busking the other day, isn’t this too unexpected?

I couldn’t bear to hold back and spoke out the question that came to mind.

“Aren’t you free by any chance?”

“I’m sorry, but even though I look like this, I’m a very busy person. “I took advantage of the time I didn’t have to visit.”

“I know. If you were to choose the busiest person in Korea right now, wouldn’t you be at the top of the list? Then, why are you doing volunteer work at this orphanage? “It’s far from where we busked back then, right?”

I don’t know if it’s a place you normally stop by, but last time you stopped by the daycare center every day for Yeoreum’s recruitment, you didn’t see it once, right?

But does it make sense to suddenly choose this place to do volunteer work?

And that was just in time for the day Yeoreum and I stopped by.

Come to think of it, there are only a handful of people who know that Yeoreum and I decided to come to the orphanage here today, right?

… Have I been investigated?

Yoon Ha-neul, who looked embarrassed while listening to the conversation between us, explained why it was more difficult to watch.

“Today, when I told Team Leader Seon and Yeoreum that they were coming, he asked me to do some volunteer work together. I am learning from composer James Oh, and I am very friendly with him, so I ended up telling him this personal story. It’s all my fault. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s embarrassing, but I used up some of my student opportunities. “I wanted to become close to Team Leader Seon.”

Fortunately, it appears that there was no background investigation.

“… That was the intention. I’m sorry for overreacting. But then please just contact me. Do you think I don’t have time to submit to composer James O? I was so surprised. “Just now.”

Please, please refrain from making surprise appearances like this.

“I’ll do that next time.”

James Oh nodded calmly, expressed small admiration, and spoke.

“Anyway, even though it wasn’t my intention, I really enjoyed listening to the story. Taking risks so that Summer can pursue her dreams. “Team Leader Seon is, of course, a wonderful person.”

“This is an overestimation. It was just a shame to leave these talented children behind.”

“Haha, that was the person who said that. “What about Team Leader Seon?”

James O smiled cheerfully, took out a folder from his briefcase and handed it to me.

At first glance, it seemed like a summary contract.

“This?”

“Actually, I felt like we talked too much verbally last time, so I prepared a few conditions for treatment. Even if they say they will pay twice as much, if there are no actual working conditions, it is no different from fraud.”

With that said, James Oh began to explain specific salary figures and working hours.

It was an overwhelming treatment that left everyone speechless.

I was wondering if the company would run after giving it away like that.

“Let’s lead the market together in our studio. There are only three people including me, but they are the friends I chose. If Team Leader Sun joins, we can go beyond being number one in Korea and move to a world-class level. Let’s climb to the top together.”

“I’m sorry, but I already rejected the offer at that time. “I have no intention of changing my mind.”

“Of course, he refused at the time, but he may have viewed it as a light offer.”

… Who would take lightly an offer from an industry leader to work together?

But James Oh doesn’t think so. He shrugged his shoulders and said.

“Furthermore, if I were someone who would give up after being rejected once in scouting for the best talent, I wouldn’t have gotten to this position. So, I will try to persuade you by showing how sincere I am.”

“…”

No, I can’t do it, whether I’m serious or not.

Are you saying I’m not capable? Without compensation, I’m just an asshole.

You might not know it at Two Bear, but your company will never be able to pay that salary.

“If there are any shortcomings in the treatment or salary written in the draft, we can raise it as much as possible. In fact, when choosing a job, there is nothing more important than treatment and salary. And I am confident in that. That’s a lot of money.”

“Two Bear has already significantly increased my salary and treatment not long ago. I was very satisfied with it.”

“Then, I guess I can upload more.”

At that time, a cool voice came from behind James O.

“If it’s a race like that, I have no intention of missing it.”

It was summer.

… What about the kids surrounding me?

Looking behind her to see what the children were doing, the children in the lower grades were standing at attention, showing tension, while the children in the upper grades were full of discipline and guiding the children in the lower grades.

It seems that the overwhelming crowd-control ability that used to single-handedly control dozens of orphanage children has not gone anywhere.

“Hmm, you are Summer. I understand your feelings, but this is a story about the company and its employees. “I don’t think it’s a story I should get involved in as a trainee.”

“Because I have the name of an investor, I think I can speak from the company’s perspective.”

“It’s a story about someone who is in a reasonable position and can have a business relationship. So, as for stories involving minors…”

“A business relationship in a proper position?”

Jin Yeo-reum interrupted James O and said, smiling provocatively.

“Do you have more money than me?”

He looked like an arrogant third-generation chaebol.

When Yoon Ha-neul saw that, he was shocked and asked me.

“Wow, Yeoreum, who lives by the motto of humility and frugality, can make such a provocation… , No, Team Leader Sun. What did she do to Yeoreum? It’s so scary!”

“…”

I don’t know, I’m scared too.

***

The situation was resolved with me firmly declaring that I would remain at Two Bear regardless of treatment.

Still, James Oh couldn’t let go of his regrets and started to squirm, but Yeoreum stuck by him like a bodyguard and beat them all away.

… It seems like the position has changed somehow.

James Oh, who had failed to achieve his goal, said he would finish his volunteer work time and began teaching his children vocal techniques to keep their throats healthy.

The skill of telling a story that could have been overly technical in a simple and easy-to-understand manner suited to the age group was excellent.

One of his abilities was that he was a very good man.

And me and summer…

“… Is it this again?”

The two of them were happily rubbing a lacquered urinal with a brush.

“I don’t mind doing it, but didn’t Haneul just say that you won’t have to clean the bathroom? So what are we doing now?”

Honestly, maybe because it was newly remodeled, it wasn’t that dirty.

There is nothing wrong with doing it, but do you wonder if you really need to do it?

In any case, it wasn’t very dirty and it seemed like it would be over soon.

Yeoreum suddenly began to notice my words and spoke quietly.

“I am…”

There was some back-talk, but the voice was so low I couldn’t hear it.

“Yes? “I’m sorry, but could you please speak a little louder?”

“I said I wanted to do it.”

“…”

You wanted to clean the bathroom? A man’s bathroom with a foul smell?

Hmm… That could be so.

Don’t worry, summer. Because I am an adult who knows how to respect diversity of tastes.

“You had that kind of taste. Understand. From now on, every Wednesday or so, I will tell Yeoreum to clean our Two Bear’s bathroom…”

“No! That’s not it!”

So, what is it?

“It just reminds me of the first time Team Leader Sun and I met. Even back then, the two of us would hold onto a urinal and talk about various things. … I liked that.”

“… “It was like that.”

At the time, I never imagined we would have a relationship like this.

“I liked those times too. Because he was so attractive, I was able to talk a lot with Yeoreum, who was thinking about recruiting him. So, I was worried about how to make him seem likeable, so I desperately thought about every word before I spoke.”

“Is it so. At that time, you completely and openly flirted with me.”

I went along with the joke.

“Is it obvious?”

“Yes, it was very noticeable.”

“Oh my. “If Jin Baekho finds out about this, I will die.”

We looked at each other and laughed.

Even though she was wearing pink rubber gloves and a shabby apron, her smile looked elegant.

“Don’t do that to just anyone. That’s a little dangerous.”

“I don’t do that to just anyone. That’s because it’s summer.”

“…”

She stopped brushing, looked at me with blank eyes, and spoke casually as if she was talking about something of little importance.

“Actually. Lately, I haven’t had time alone with Team Leader Seon, so I also asked Haneul for something. Unlike winter when I was active with Girls 100 or fell when I was busking and filming All Tube videos, I didn’t have time for that.”

It might have been disappointing.

Especially considering that I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t been able to talk to Yeoreum much.

I need to take some time.

“Then, shall we take a field trip together?”

“A field trip?”

“Watching a concert, watching a stage, watching a performance, watching a movie, etc. “I’ll buy you some delicious food afterwards.”

“That’s totally fun… ” “

“No. As an aspiring idol, I am conducting a field trip. “Input is important, right?”

Uh-huh, summer. This is work. It’s not playing.

“Of course, it’s a secret from other friends.”

“… Yes, I will absolutely keep it a secret.”

While brushing in calm and simple silence, Yeoreum suddenly made an exclamation as if she had realized something and spoke.

“Ah… , I didn’t tell her what she said because I might not remember it properly. … “I did that thing called regression.”

“… ?”

Because of that regression, we spent a long time exchanging information with each other.

Still, seeing her say this makes me think of something that she didn’t say.

“That’s right, you said so. Did you remember anything that bothered you?”

“… Yes, I was busy adjusting to the new culture at the time, but I heard that Girls 100 was later revealed to be vote rigged and the country was turned upside down.”

She asked without hiding her concern.

“Is winter okay? “It’s probably a decision that Team Leader Seon thought about and made, but I feel a little anxious.”

“Don’t worry.”

It was good to feel at ease in this regard.

“I’m already preparing to blow up the broadcast.”

And it will be Winter who survives the storm.
