Chapter 221 – I Said I Had an Appointment
After a while, inside Dao Entertainment’s vocal practice room.
Cheon Bom, who was playing the piano, stopped playing the accompaniment.
“Stop, stop there.”
“Huh…!”
Park Min-ji stops breathing at Cheon-bom’s command.
“Right there, that part keeps getting wrong now. Do you know why?”
“Uh… That’s…”
Cheon Bom firmly pointed out to Park Min-ji, who hesitated.
“It’s because I can’t control my breathing properly. What did I keep saying?”
Until yesterday, it was Cheonbom whose purpose was to encourage and support Park Min-ji, but not anymore.
Park Min-ji’s motivation is now enough, and the lessons she is doing now are only to improve her vocal skills.
She was a heavenly spring that could give her Spartan education by harassing her to the fullest without looking at her any more.
“Uhhhhh… I don’t know…”
“I do not know?”
No, she should have been able to harass her to her heart’s content…
“…Maybe you don’t know.”
Cheonbom’s voice, which had been fiercely shot at, became calm again.
“Don’t call her throat, pay attention to belly, belly breathing. Let’s practice again with the tips we just gave you.”
“Huh…”
“…”
I couldn’t do that now.
That’s also true, because Shin So-ye was right next to them watching their lessons.
Glance.
Chun Bom turned her eyes toward her slightly, so that Shin So Ye couldn’t notice.
“Why are you like that~?”
And Shin So-ye immediately noticed that momentary gaze.
“…No, nothing.”
At Shin So-ye’s words, Cheon Bom pretended to be expressionless and looked at her again.
But her mind was spinning faster than ever.
‘You just noticed that glance? This girl, she’s super focused on my class right now, right? Why?’
Cheon Bom was confused when Shin So Ye offered to watch her Minji Park’s lessons.
You’re not even a manager, so why the hell?
When asked why, she said that she only wanted to check on Minji Park, but when she came in and looked around, she felt that she was also looking at herself.
Why the hell is he observing his lessons so carefully?
‘You’re trying to keep me in check again?’
There is a possibility.
She recently got along with Lee Se-jin, so from Shin So-ye’s point of view, that must be disgraceful.
However, since it’s hard for her to start a fight blindly, she might be finding an excuse to fight.
‘He said it was okay…!’
Wasn’t she in the same boat position!?
Why are you trying to argue now!
I want to protest, but there is no way I can say it in words.
Cheonbom just screamed inwardly.
***
‘Chun Bom-san, why are you so hard~?’
On the other hand, Shin So-ye’s purpose of watching Park Min-ji and Cheon Bom’s lessons was simple.
‘I want to make the relationship between Cheonbom and Minji closer.’
In order to do that, she was watching the lesson, but Cheonbom was too stiff.
While being cold to her Park Min-ji, her feelings are not shown as much as possible, and at the same time, she looks at herself and pretends not to be …
‘Are the two of you still awkward with each other?’
Come to think of it, these two were very weak from the beginning, right?
Alright, then first of all, it’s better to give the two of you a lot of time together.
‘The two might fight, so I should stay together.’
Yes, then you can prevent any unsavory things that may happen.
Satisfied, Shin So-ye smiled involuntarily and nodded her head.
Startle.
At that moment, Cheon Bom, who was pointing out Park Min Ji, was taken aback when she saw that smile.
“Oh, why are you like this~?”
“…No, no. Mm, you know what I mean, Mr. Park Min-ji?”
“What, huh…”
“Great. I will do it again.”
Cheonbom quickly shakes his head and starts playing the accompaniment again.
‘Hmm, it seems that Minji’s mistake just now is quite bothersome.’
So while pointing it out, she even trembled.
Misunderstanding is the fastest way to understand someone.
Quickly ‘understanding’ Cheon Bom’s actions, Shin So-ye continued to watch the two’s lessons.

In the afternoon, the meeting room of a studio in Seoul.
She soon spoke with a stagehand in relation to a performance in Queens where she will be more.
“… So, this is the stage information. Take a look and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.”
“Do you have PDF files besides paper?”
“That’s because a security issue has recently exploded on our cloud side… Confidential information has to be pulled out like this unless it’s on the company intranet. Sorry.”
“Ah, no. There’s nothing you can do about it.”
I laughed and accepted the thick paper bundle that the other person handed me.
It’s so refreshing to receive paper documents in this era.
“Accommodation information and tickets will be sent tomorrow. By e-mail, of course.”
“Thank you. Then I will go.”
“Thank you for your effort.”
I bowed lightly and left the conference room.
Now, go back to work, make a completed plan and submit it to the top, and today’s work is over.
It’s kind of annoying to have to move twice like this to outsource.
I walked down the hallway and checked my phone.
The first thing I saw was a message from Soye.
〉 Soye: Are there any additional schedules for this evening?
〉 me: no
〉 Soye: Good
As if he had been waiting, the 1 mark quickly disappeared and Soye’s reply came back.
〉 Soye: Take Minji to dinner
〉 Soye: Can I go in after playing with Cheonbom?
Weren’t you looking for me?
Playing with Cheonbom… Wow, that’s an idea I never thought of.
‘Weren’t the three of them like that? Are you taking care of me because I’m worried about Cheonbom and Minji?’
Yes, if it were Soye, she might be thinking that way.
The heart is so grateful.
〉 Me: ㅇㅋㅇㅋ
〉 me: no problem
〉 Soye: Thank you
〉 Soye: (Cat rejoicing)
After seeing Soye’s reply, I immediately checked other messages.
And she found that there was a message from Cheonbom just below the message from Soye.
〉 Cheonbom: Do you have time in the evening?
〉 Cheonbom: I want to spend time alone
…Huh? What is this?
〉 Me: With Soye and Minji
〉 Me: Didn’t the three of you play in the evening?
When I send a reply, the 1 mark disappears on this side in an instant.
And instead of replying, the phone rang right away.
〈 Sejin Lee, can you talk? 〉
“Yes, Mr. Cheonbom.”
〈 What you just said… What do you mean?〉
“What do you mean… I just got a message from Soye. With Cheonbom-ssi and Minji, the three of us will play together.”
〈 What are you talking about? I’m hearing it for the first time.〉
“It looks like you haven’t heard from Soye yet.”
〈 No what the hell… How do I know I’ll be available in the evening…〉
〈 Oh, you’re on the roof!〉
Soye’s voice was faintly heard over the phone.
〈 Shin So-ye? How do you know…〉
〈Are you okay this evening?〉
〈 Yes. No yes? No, no, no. No.〉
〈Didn’t you just say you’d be available in the evening? Come to think of it, who are you talking to? 〉
〈 That’s… Uh…〉
Beep.
I heard the two of them talking, then the phone hung up.
‘Hmm… What.’
First of all, I know very well that Soye is trying to forcibly kidnap (?) Cheonbom.
And that’s what Cheonbom is…
〉 Cheonbom: Call me
〉 Cheonbom: Say you have an appointment
〉 Cheonbom: jeungmw
You want to avoid it.
“Hmm…”
After thinking for a while, I sent Cheonbom a reply instead of calling.
〉 Me: Have fun
Cheonbom is afraid of Soye, but the purpose of Soye is to build friendship, so there is nothing to burn.
If it’s a small skill, you can trust it.
〉 Me: The three of us have fun
I also sent a message to Soye.
Okay, so you won’t be able to use me as an excuse to run away.
Scratch scratch.
Scratching my suddenly itchy ear, I slowly walked down the hallway.
***
Cursing Lee Se-jin, who even killed him through a message, Cheon Bom desperately pondered over what to say to Shin So-ye in front of her.
‘If I just say I don’t like it, it won’t work.’
As for Shin So-ye, she is still suffering from PTSD.
She was just afraid that if she recklessly said no, she would be treated the same way again.
Whether or not he knew her heart, Shin So-ye continued to check Cheon Bom’s heart.
“Are you saying you don’t want to play with Minji? She doesn’t like Minji… ?”
Dory dory.
At Shin So-ye’s question, Cheon Bom shook her head.
“It’s not that I don’t like Park Min-ji.”
It’s because you’re scared.
“Is it so? Then there will be no problem.”
“…”
I have many problems in my mind.
‘For what purpose are you doing this?’
I’m not saying that we want to be friends now.
I’m dying of tension
It looks like the opponent is preparing to hit this one, but I don’t know where he’s going to hit or when.
Thanks to that, I was very tense and my body and mind quickly got tired.
“I’m just… Tired.”
It was sincere.
It was also an excuse for her to avoid Shin So-ye in front of her eyes, but with Cheon Bom having Shin So-ye in front of her, she got tired in an instant.
‘How am I going to continue my excuses now?’
There is no other excuse that doesn’t work as just saying that you are tired.
You can’t do anything because you’re tired, or you’re tired for some reason.
This excuse will work only when it is followed in detail like this.
As Cheonbom worked her brain to full capacity for a short period of time and thought about how to continue her excuses, Shin Soye made a bitter expression on her face.
“I see… That’s a pity.”
“Uh…Yes?”
It was a response of sincere regret.
“You are very tired, but it would be a great rudeness to invite you like this. See you tomorrow then. I will go first.”
Shin So-ye bows politely and turns her back to leave the rooftop.
Looking at her back, Cheonbom felt that she had been hit in the back of the head by something.
‘No, what is it really?’
In her confused mood, Cheonbom made some guesses.
‘Didn’t you try to forcefully grab me and drag me away? Seriously, did you just suggest we play?’
No it can’t be Anyway, the three of them must be trying to keep me in check and say something!
‘Wait a minute, if it was something like that, it would have been fine right now?’
But you’re making such a sad face?
But would you suggest that I just play…
Her annoyance exploded amid Cheon Bom, who was being swept up in unfounded speculation.
‘What is Ai really!’
Annoyance and, above all, curiosity.
“…Wait, wait, Mr. Shin So-ye!”
In the end, Cheon Bom hurriedly pursued Shin So Ye.
