105. Career path
“They say so.”
After Doa’s explanation was over, I turned the business card around for no reason.
Is it made of luxurious materials?
Even though it seemed like it had been turned pretty hard, there wasn’t a single wrinkle left.
“…Really?”
“Yes. “I guess I really liked you a lot.”
After the end of the semester, we had no time to go to school, so we often went to each other’s rooms during the day.
Of course, it was fun to date outside, but both Doa and I are essentially more comfortable being inside.
If the weather warms up, I might go to the park, but it was still winter and the cold wind was blowing.
“So, why don’t we contact you?”
“Um…”
I pretended to hesitate, but the answer was actually decided.
I wasn’t interested.
I really wasn’t interested at all.
It’s a good opportunity, whatever, but it’s about people who want to work in that industry.
For now, it’s just like this.
I wanted to enjoy the winter vacation by eating tangerines with Doa.
At least if we do that, we’ll be busy. Doah is busy too, so if I’m too busy, when will we ever see each other?
“…Not so good?”
When I didn’t answer, Doa looked at me with a slightly downcast expression.
“No. Just. “What can I say?”
But I also can’t criticize the Closer manager who works with Doah.
The phrase ‘Why do you keep bothering me like this?’ Lingered in my head, but it seemed like Doah always thought well of the manager, so she decided to say it out loud.
“Then what about you?”
Her upper body, which was sitting side by side, slowly falls down onto my lap.
She rested her face on her thigh.
When I looked down to make eye contact with her, a shadow the size of my face appeared above her head.
“What do you want to do?”
“What do you want to do?”
“Is it just something you want to do in the future? If I had to express it, career path?”
Career…
I thought about it seriously, but I couldn’t come up with an answer.
She just had a vague idea that if she continued to go to school like this, her goal would be to get a job at a broadcasting station.
When I returned from military service, I thought I should come to my senses and looked it up, but at the time I hadn’t even started my second year of school, so it was safe to say I knew very little.
Of course, even after finishing my second year, if I were to ask myself what I learned so much, it wasn’t even that.
When on earth will I learn anything?
“Just go to school some more and decide next year.”
There was anxiety, but there was no impatience.
Because I still had two years left to remain as a student.
“Wouldn’t it be better to try this and that while in school?”
Doa was holding on to the hem of my T-shirt and writhing around.
“If I want to do it later, I might not be able to because I have to get a job.”
Is that really the case?
Will there come a future where I want to become a celebrity or something absurd?
It was an unconvincing story, at least to me now.
Still, I didn’t know.
The person who has this mindset is, of course, the owner of this soft cheek tag.
I thought Doah Kim’s contribution was great.
“Ugh. “Why Jacques Danggya?”
The subject has balls that stretch out like mozzarella.
Doa turned her head back and forth as if telling her not to do it.
It’s so cute that I keep laughing.
“What do you want to be later?”
“Me?”
I didn’t want to be the only one in career class, so I took the opportunity and attempted a counterattack.
“Did you plan to become a Virtuber for 1,000,000 years?”
I don’t think that was the case.
This is because before she passed the Closer exam, Luca was always busy with her current life and there were many times when she did not turn on the broadcast properly.
“Uhm… Sure. Wouldn’t it be impossible to reach 1,000,000 years? “I guess?”
As her small lips twitched, this time I poked her cheek.
“But I once chatted and said, ‘For 1,000,000 years.’”
“…Really?”
“Ah. “If you quit broadcasting, what should I do for a living?”
“There are a lot of vertubers. “There are a lot of other cute people, even if they aren’t Closers.”
The attitude of talking as if he was saying something obvious actually made me angry.
“No. It’s a doya. Does it make sense to compare you to the rest?”
“No. But objectively, I was the number one viewer and it wasn’t like that.”
Being number one in the number of viewers also meant that it had a popular taste.
And Luca’s broadcast is actually a bit far from the mainstream.
It was a bit of an otaku with a dark taste…
“For me, it was first place.”
“I think it would be good if Doa came in first place instead of Luca.”
Doah was just like this.
If I sincerely say that I like Luca and that Luca is the best, should I say that they keep breaking the mood with the name of reality?
“You are also first place.”
“Do? Did you say Tao? Now?”
Ah. Why are you like this? Really.
When she gently opened her eyes as if telling me not to do it, Doa pulled me around the neck and gave me a brief kiss.
…It’s dangerous.
From that day on, skinship became a catalyst that made me think more and more bad thoughts.
“Hmm. Wouldn’t I have wanted to become a broadcasting station producer later? “What if Vertuber is over?”
“Really?”
“I just like to lie down at home and watch cartoons or movies, and I also like dramas.”
It was a standard answer that is commonly seen in our department.
“But Closer is doing so well these days that I’m not sure. “It has become more popular than I imagined.”
This may also apply to real-life idols, but groups selected through auditions begin their activities with a large fandom from the start.
With the addition of the members’ existing fans, the influx of auditions, and the influx of music charts, most of the members’ broadcasts these days are watched by more than 10,000 people.
“The company said it would be one year, but wouldn’t it be longer?”
I wondered if there was any need to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs.
I think it would be a loss for YM to disband such a popular group after only one year.
“I hope so.”
“The members often talk about that among themselves. Ah. Please. Let’s work together for a long time.”
“Are you and Jennifer okay?”
It seemed like he was having a hard time after calling me oppa back then.
From noble mtl dot com
“Of course. “It was a bit like that at the time, but we talked a lot again, and if we continue to use that as an excuse to be awkward, we could end up talking about it in the joint room.”
[Evidence of Jennifer-Luca discord]
If something like this were posted on a cafe bulletin board, I would get angry again.
I was able to sympathize with her words because I knew very well how much the evil elements in the community were delighted with such contrived schemes.
“Still, I’m glad we got along well again.”
“It was originally good~”
Doa twisted her body to get up and this time lay down on her back.
“Ah. “I don’t want to broadcast it.”
“I have to do it.”
How many fans are waiting, but they don’t do it?
Of course, I was included.
“I just want to stay here and do this all the time.”
Perhaps she wanted to emphasize the expression rolling around, Doa grabbed her blanket and rolled over.
Since it was a single bed that wasn’t that wide, Doa was caught in the blanket after slightly turning halfway around her.
“No. “You broadcast.”
“Pingtuk~ Let’s listen~ You’re not ignoring what our Luca says, are you?”
Doa openly complained to me in her Luca tone that I couldn’t see her face.
“Hey. “You’re going on vacation soon anyway.”
The official vacation period for Closer members was set for the second week of January.
I thought that there was no difference from real idols in that everyone’s rest period was consistent.
Doa says she has to do a Lunar New Year special on Lunar New Year, so she’s giving herself the week before.
How should we use the one week we have been given?
She didn’t plan yet.
If she had something to add to her bucket list, would it be to go to the lamb skewer restaurant that Do-ah wanted to go to?
“…Do you want to go on a trip?”
Doa may have just said it casually, but the moment she said those words, my heart began to beat like crazy.
Because traveling meant sleeping together.
And sharing a bed means.
I felt the heat rising to her face and sat with my back to Doa.
“Uh… Where do you want to go?”
If it was just something I had done, I could just ignore it, but if it was something serious, I planned to set a schedule right away.
“Ski resort. “I want to go.”
Her answer was completely unexpected.
I had never been there before, so I thought it would be an adventurous trip if I actually went there.
“How do you feel? “Not so good?”
“I’m currently looking for a resort.”
I sighed after checking the reservation schedules, which were already full, perhaps because it was the peak season.
“Well… If it doesn’t work out, there’s nothing we can do.”
I’m going because I really want to ski.
I’m going there to make beautiful memories with Doa.
After typing ski resorts into the search bar, I frantically searched for lodging.
