Chapter 158 – Bounce for Nothing
After a while, the corner of the cafe on the second floor.
Cheon Bom, now left alone after Lee Se-jin left, muttered while looking out the window.
“That’s too much, really.”
She joked and pretended to be relaxed, but she was Cheonbom who desperately appealed.
She bumped into a man for expressing her own desires directly, shamefully or not.
But she broke it like this.
“Isn’t it kicking too well?”
As usual, she would have been better off if she had just been iron-walled or ignored.
If that was the case, she could have said, ‘I’ll definitely flirt with you next time’ and let it pass.
But she couldn’t let it go this time.
‘I like you, let’s go out with me. Or maybe even sex.’
She directly threw out that idea, but wasn’t it rejected head-on?
“Ha…”
Iron pudduck.
Cheonbom banged her head on her table.
“Really… Haa…”
Cheonbom muttered in a weeping voice.
Tears were actually welling up in her eyes.
It was because of the resentment and sadness she felt at the fact that she had been kicked properly.
“If only my eyes were raised…”
Even though she had never been in a relationship before, she knew how valuable she was by the way men treated her.
She honestly thought that as long as he was a man, whoever she was, if she seduced her, she would come right over.
She was like that, so she wasn’t particularly interested in dating.
She thought, of course, that she couldn’t find a man who would accept her perverted tastes, she said.
“You think it’s easy because you just said it? How courageous are you to say that?”
As she was, courting her man was quite an act of hurting her ego.
Her first button was put on the wrong way, and after that she got a little bit bad too!
No matter what she was, she courted her like this, and this time, she even talked embarrassingly about being a sex addict without even realizing it!
And yet she rejected all of them.
If she were another man, she would not be enough to bow down on the spot.
“Shh… Why are you pretending to be stoic now…
After saying that, Cheonbom sighed deeply as he looked out of her window.
“…The reason is the reason, I can’t say anything.”
I was thinking of pushing myself a little, saying that I would take responsibility if I had to.
You are the one who took my virginity so take responsibility and the marriage… Has gone too far and be her boyfriend.
Or at least enjoy it with me.
I thought it was a strategy that would work well for a stupid and nice guy like Lee Se-jin.
But when I heard that the reason for the rejection was my girlfriends, I gave up on that idea.
“…Chit.”
Cheonbom raised her head again.
Then he sat upright, wiped the tears from his eyes, sniffed, and swallowed.
“Who knows… Who would give up.”
She was the one who went through many hardships before becoming a successful songwriter.
There, she always displayed her grit and perseverance and persevered to the end, and eventually got what she wanted.
The same goes for men.
If you don’t give up and keep trying, one day you’ll get what you want.
No matter how firmly it was kicked, there is a chance that another possibility will arise if you tap again.
“This… It’s nothing… I’ve been kicked 10 times more.”
I think I’ve been kicked once or twice while working as a freelancer and asking for my own use.
And I know that I’ve only won the job once or twice.
“Are you okay.”
Her expression was becoming quite serious and stern, but soon tears welled up in her eyes again.
“Sir, really…”
She grunts and wipes away her tears again.
“…”
And Shin So-ye was observing her from a distance.
She was more completely disguised than usual so that no one, not even Lee Se-jin, could recognize her.
“…”
At first, she even thought about punishing Cheonbom again.
Even though she told me not to approach her again, how many more times would she approach me this time?
Of course, the other day I tried to do it my way, but are you really doing it?
Don’t keep bidding on Sejin, whom I liked!
She was the one who wanted to be angry, but…
‘It’s a bit pitiful.’
Seeing that Lee Se-jin took Cheon Bom with her and correctly accepted her proposal, and correctly rejected it head-on, I gave up on that idea.
A woman, especially with her looks and abilities, gave up all her pride and confronted a man head-on, but was rejected.
The hurt she received will be enormous.
Men can endure such wounds because they are tough, but it is not easy for women to endure such wounds.
Shin So-ye could easily understand Cheon-bom’s feelings because she was the same woman regardless of this or that.
‘Yes… I’m not going to watch it.’
Shin So-ye looked at Cheon-bom for a while, then got up and left her cafe.
***
TES’s year-end awards ceremony was an awards ceremony related to stage performances, commonly referred to as the Gayo Daejeon.
As an awards ceremony that every singer and idol dreams of, fans, as well as active singers and idols, have been paying attention every year, and just appearing here was treated as a proof of success.
The morning of the TES year-end awards ceremony, Gocheok Dome.
“Wow… You really have to come here…”
Soye muttered in a thrilling voice as she stepped into Gocheok Dome.
“Ah…”
“Why are you like that, Minji? Where is it not good?”
“I feel a little…”
“You seem to be very nervous. Can I get you some water?”
Unlike Soye, Minji seemed overly nervous.
Well, it’s not usually a big awards ceremony, so this kind of reaction is natural.
“Hey, isn’t that normal… You say you’ll tell me in advance what kind of prize you’re getting? What do we get?”
“Nothing has come yet.”
“What, then, can’t it be…”
“No, it’s just that we haven’t talked about it yet. Don’t just guess. Everyone, look here.”
I drew the attention of the nervous kids to me with my various appearances.
“Come on, let’s take a deep breath. Take a deep breath. Inhale… Exhale…”
“Huh, whoa…”
“Huh, whoa…”
“Huh, hook, hook, coloc coloc…”
“Hey, Minji, are you okay?”
“Yeah, yeheh… Chi, spit in my throat…”
“Drink more water, Minji.”
“Oh, thank you…”
Minji barely calms down after drinking water.
“Come on, don’t be too nervous. Let’s keep it simple. What kind of awards do you get and how do you get them? We just think about what we are going to do.”
“If it’s something to do…”
“The stage. Didn’t you practice hard for several weeks while running each other’s schedule? You just have to show it properly. You know well?”
“Huh.”
Soye nodded her head, and the other two women nodded her head as well.
“Don’t worry too much about the award. It’s nice to receive it, but just being here proves that our level has risen a lot. Just one performance here will be enough publicity.”
“That, that’s right. Even if you just came here, where are you?”
You’ve done so much this year, so you can expect awards.
I wanted to say that, but I held back.
It hasn’t been confirmed yet that I will receive an award, but I was afraid that I would disappoint them by making them look forward to it.
It’s better to receive an award without expecting it, but if you don’t receive an award while expecting it, that’s not good for your mentality.
‘Honestly, I think it deserves an award.’
Just this year alone, the number of views of YouTube music videos has reached an all-time high, and while promoting in Japan, the global eye stamp was properly filmed, and other individual activities are also progressing very well.
However, few other idol groups have achieved this level of achievement this year, so we have plenty of potential.
“Since there are so many participants, we can only do one rehearsal. So, until then, let’s take a good rest, concentrate on rehearsals, and then go to the next stage, resting well and taking care of our condition to the maximum… Just keep this in your head, everyone. Don’t think about anything else, and don’t get nervous for nothing.”
“Okay.”
This time, Haeun Lim gave a simple answer on behalf of the three of them.
Unlike Soye and Minji, her voice was trustworthy, as if she wasn’t quite nervous.
Soye and Minji also seem to have calmed down a bit after hearing Haeun’s words.
“Now then, everyone go to the waiting room… Yena-san, please move with us. I’ll go see something for a while.”
“All right.”
Now, let the kids rest and it’s time for me to get busy.
First of all, let’s go around and look for PD.
***
Meanwhile, at that time, Bom Cheon was at Dao Entertainment.
Also, I didn’t come looking for Lee Se-jin, but to work on songs for other idol groups.
“Thank you for your hard work, then I’m done.”
She finishes vocal reading and the rest of the work and leaves the conference room just in time.
As if she had been waiting for her, suddenly a man swooped down on her and followed her next to her.
“Hello, Mr. Cheonbom!”
“…Hello, Mr. Kang Yoon.”
It was Kang Yoon, the manager of Forheart, a group to which Saetbyeol belongs.
“Chun Bom, are you busy?”
“Yes.”
“Do you have any free time tonight or tomorrow?”
“Yes. I have work.”
“Hey, you don’t have one.”
At Kang Yoon’s words, Cheon Bom felt dumbfounded for a moment.
Didn’t you hear what I just said?
I asked if I was busy, so I said yes, and I asked if I had free time tomorrow, so I replied that I had work?
“I told you there was.”
“You don’t have it, but you just bounce around~”
“Did you not hear me? I just made sure I had a job.”
“Then what is it? Tell me, quickly.”
It’s really distasteful to ignore this side’s words and dig into your private life.
I’ve met him often while working on Foheart’s songs, but he’s a rude man whenever I meet him.
Cheon Bom would have been ignored if it was a normal case, but unfortunately, the opponent is the manager in charge of popular idols at Dao Entertainment.
Being perfectly born was an impossible business option.
“I’m going to the TES Awards Ceremony.”
“Oh, did you get a ticket for that? I could give you a better seat than spectator tickets…”
“There is no need to go as a VIP.”
Cheon Bom is an excellent composer and has been in charge of several idol songs, and among them there have been quite a few hit songs.
That’s why her TES side sent her her VIP seat ticket right away.
“Enough then.”
“Ayy, why are you in such a hurry~! I’m coming too.”
“Are you going there too?”
“Of course! Pohart will also stand on the awards ceremony stage.”
“…”
For the second time, Cheon-bom felt embarrassed.
“Well, if you’re going to be on the stage for the awards ceremony, prepare for rehearsal… Isn’t there a lot to do beforehand?”
“It’s a stage, it’s a place for the kids to stand, so it’s only going to be rehearsed once anyway? You don’t have to go all the way to me and suffer. The kids are going and getting ready.”
At this level, it’s not that he can’t work, he’s a man who doesn’t.
Cheonbom, who was deeply offended by the fact that such a pathetic man followed him, forced his words to an end.
“I will go alone. Enough then.”
After saying that, Cheonbom just walks away.
And Kang-yoon followed right after him.
