Chapter 251 – Playing SM in the Airport?
‘Did you find out something?’
He would ask me to let him know if he saw any trends with Secretary Yu or the CEO, but I wasn’t expecting to really find out anything.
Anyway, this person is also being used by two people, so what can I find out if I find out.
For me, it was enough for secretary Yoo or someone who could be the president’s limbs to pressure me not to do anything recklessly…
‘Still, seeing it at this timing makes me feel anxious.’
I’m having some doubts about the southern director, right?
Young doesn’t feel good.
It feels like the puzzle is fitting in the wrong way.
Kim Jin-seok sat across from me and looked around, then bowed his head in my direction and whispered.
“Chief Southerner, be careful.”
No, it was really about the southern chief.
“Is there a problem?”
“Director Nam is doing background investigations on Lee Se-jin and Lim Ha-eun.”
“Between me and Haeun…?”
“Yes.”
He nodded his head with a nervous expression, and then he whispered in an even lower voice.
“Lee Se-jin, I don’t know, but according to the president’s orders, you are testing the kids like that, right?”
I pretended to be a person under the representative in front of this person before.
Unlike Chief Secretary Yoo Ga-hye, I am a direct line under the CEO and I am well aware of hypnosis applications.
The CEO ordered me to monitor what Chief Secretary Yu Ga-hye is doing, so if you find out anything, let me know~
It seems that I pretended to be good or bad with this setting.
So, of course, I must have guessed that I was using a hypnosis app, but I didn’t want to confirm this.
“No, there is no such thing.”
“That’s the setting. All right.”
No, what kind of setting is that, not really.
“Anyway, I told you that you should be careful because the Southern Commander is prying at your back.”
“Then why are you trying to pry between me and Haeun?”
“Ah, the last time I went to Taiwan, didn’t Manager Lee argue with Haeun Lim a lot?”
“…Well, yes, yes, we quarreled.”
“But the southern director seems to see it as some kind of flirt.”
“Something?”
I almost raised my voice a little without realizing it.
“Yes. I don’t know why you think that… It’s just that, if there’s a scandal, I check everything. Think about what happened between manager Lee and Ha-eun Lim, it might not be a fight when you say they fought… In this way.”
Southern chief, he was a sharp man.
“When did you ask yesterday?”
“When was it? It was just after dinner last night.”
It must be around the time I have a light conversation with the CEO.
“I see… Thanks for letting me know.”
“Yes, then I’m done.”
After saying that, he quietly got up from his seat and turned his back immediately.
“Uh, can’t you rest more?”
“I have a lot of work to do. There is not enough time to rest.”
With those words, he finally leaves the break room.
I was going to give him a handshake out of gratitude, but he just swiped and disappeared in an instant.
‘By the way, that person came and told me that it wasn’t about CEO or Ga-Hye Yoo?’
That’s because I’m worried that I might get into trouble for no reason.
He obviously pretended to be a bad guy… Why are you being nice to him?
***
Anyway, once you know the reason, the next thing you need to do is act.
After we all finished the morning interview, we explained the current situation to the kids in the car before moving again.
“…How long have the two of you been together to have even raised such suspicion?”
“Could it be that unnie… Even after going there… Went for a walk…?”
“If you were suspicious, you must have played at a higher level than here. Did you put on a leash and do a striptease on the street naked?”
“No, what are you talking about! Don’t do that!”
“You went out for a walk…”
“I didn’t even go for a walk! I just stayed in my room!”
“Come on, everyone, calm down.”
Three women who immediately calm down at my words.
“I’m not sure of anything yet, I think I’m just having some doubts about this or that. And, as you know, you must be thinking all sorts of really weird things right now.”
“I guess so…”
“Huh? Sister… Do you know anything…?”
“What is it, did the two of you catch something last night?”
“It’s not like that…”
I sneakily looked into Soye’s eyes.
It’s about Soye’s family, can I?
Soye looked at my gaze and she continued talking instead of me.
“Yesterday, I met Sejin and my dad. And the southern chief saw it.”
“Uh? Huh? Unnie’s father and Sejin? Did you meet?”
“Why… Why…?”
“Is it a meeting? No, what is it? Are you thinking of retiring as an idol?”
“Absolutely not. I have no intention of quitting this job before becoming a top idol.”
“But why… Did you have a meeting…”
“It’s not a meeting. It’s just that my dad is a bit of a jerk, so I called Sejin for no reason and checked it out.”
“No, no matter how bad it is, does it make sense to call the manager and check it out?”
“This… Is an openly meeting event… If this hadn’t been held… It’s already on the verge of a good ending…”
“Wait, wait, kids, wait a minute. Calm down for now.”
I was about to become a gag again, so I intervened quickly.
“First of all, I don’t know exactly why my older sister’s father called me. I also met and went through tests like this and that. I think I checked to see if I was suitable for being in charge of the older sister. You asked about my job title or something.”
“No, isn’t the fact that the two of you met is a big deal in itself?”
“That’s right… We’ll call it a meeting ceremony…”
“No. My parents and older sister weren’t there, so what kind of meeting is that? Besides, I didn’t get a single question about what’s going on with Soye! At first, there was not much conversation. Understand?”
I spread my palms as if I understood, and drew my arms to the sides.
This was a sign that this was the end.
“More than that, what’s more important now is to dispel the manager’s suspicions.”
“I just need to appeal that you and I are not close. Will the company do the same as they did at the airport? I guess that will work.”
“At the airport… What did you do…?”
“He hit him.”
“Oh my God… Are you playing SM by switching roles now?”
“In the airport… You played SM…?”
“No, sister, that’s not it, I kicked my ass in front of others and treated you badly.”
“What? You treated Sejin that way in front of others? No, how…”
“Now, wait wait wait! That was what I ordered Ha-eun to deceive people, sister.”
What else is it, why is it being sold out like this today?
“Come on, let’s get back to the main topic. As Ha-eun said, I think it would be okay if I appealed to her that the relationship between me and you is not a big deal, or that it is bad… I think I should do something with my sister and Min-ji.”
“Why me? I don’t like Sejin hitting me.”
“If I hit you… Wouldn’t it look rather strange…?”
“No, no, don’t focus on hitting. I’m trying to appeal that the three of you and I have nothing to do with each other. If the southern director was suspicious of me and Ha-eun, wouldn’t he be able to doubt me and my sister or Min-ji?”
Soye and Minji nodded at my words.
Traffic has finally been sorted out.
Putting my tired mind aside for a while, I explained to the three of them how to appeal that there was no romance between us.
“By the way, oppa… Wouldn’t that method… Not be enough…?”
“Yeah, ohh, kollock, oh, uh, uhh… Hey, that alone doesn’t seem to be enough to settle the misunderstanding.”
“That’s right Sejin. Since you’ve already raised suspicion, shouldn’t you go ahead with an appeal that you’re not close to each other instead of saying that you’re not close?”
“Ah, I have an idea about that. There is one very good way.”
***
Cheonbom hasn’t been in a good mood lately.
The reason was simple.
It was because Lee Se-jin had hardly contacted her.
‘Bad people.’
Even though they are officially a couple, Lee Se-jin did not contact Cheon Bom first.
Cheonbom is the first person to talk to and say hello every day.
Moreover, whenever that happened, Lee Se-jin’s answer was short or very rough.
‘The only answer I know how to answer is yes, yes, yes!’
Even so, Cheonbom continued to gather courage.
Even if she listened to short-answer answers, she sent a chat every day, and she often got up the courage to suggest that we go on a ‘date’ first.
But I don’t say yes to that.
What the hell is this guy
‘They say they’re busy all the time, but who isn’t?’
Okay, from now on I won’t send you a pre-talk.
Whether you talk to them first or not, they will ignore you, heh.
That’s how Cheonbom was resolute today as well.
〉 Sejin Lee: Are you busy?
A message that flew as if he had read her mind.
Cheonbom stared at the screen of her cell phone for a moment.
‘Why did you send a message at this timing?’
I don’t know I won’t see
I won’t see
Asking if I’m busy, I’m just saying it’s obvious!
“Cheonbom-san, what are you doing?”
It was only then that Cheonbom came to his senses at the sound of her voice beside her and turned his attention to her.
In the conference room where her people were sitting, everyone’s eyes were on her.
Oops, what the hell am I thinking during the new song meeting.
“You don’t look good… Did you get a bad call?”
“Oh, I’m sorry… Uh, wait a minute. Because it’s an urgent call. I’ll be back in a minute.”
Cheonbom apologized to those around her and left the meeting room for a while.
And as soon as she walked out the door, she quickly tapped on her phone screen.
〉 Me: Why?
〉 Sejin Lee: It’s nothing special
〉 Sejin Lee: If you are not busy tomorrow
〉 Sejin Lee: Would you like to go on a date?
〉 Lee Se-jin: I think I will have some free time
At Lee Se-jin’s words, Cheon Bom immediately turned off her phone screen and put it in her pocket.
She then caught her breath for a moment, then she pulled out her phone again and checked her screen.
The message ‘Aren’t you going on a date?’ Was still clearly written on the phone screen.
Cheonbom hesitated for a moment, but her hand quickly replied.
〉 Me: Okay
〉 Lee Se-jin: Then, can I see you in front of the company tomorrow evening?
〉 Me: Yes
〉 Sejin Lee: Thank you
〉 Sejin Lee: Around 6:00 is the time okay?
〉 me: what
〉 Me: I’ll try somehow
〉 Me: I will go until then
Cheonbom turns off his phone screen again and puts it in his pocket.
She caught her breath once more and pulled out her phone again.
〉 Lee Se-jin: Ahaha that’s good
〉 Sejin Lee: Then see you tomorrow
〉 me: yes
Cheonbom, who even said, “Don’t be late,” Stopped.
Doesn’t it look like this side is waiting for nothing?
Yes, one answer is yes.
Cheonbom convinced herself that way, and after spinning around three times in place, she went back into her conference room.
As she entered, the same person who had seen her before leaving and asked her anxiously asked her question again.
“Huh? Did something good happen to you? Her face is in full bloom.”
“No, nothing.”
