Chapter 519 – #77. Honey (6)
“Park Sang-joo.”
“Yes, aunt.”
“How long do I have to look after you?”
“Yes?”
“Yes, to be honest, I felt very proud when you said that you would work for the company. If you adapt well to the company and work, I will be relieved.”
“Are you saying this because I’m busy with work and can’t come to see you often? I will visit you often in the future. You still come here like this.”
“Am I begging you right now? Would you like to bow to thank you for coming to see me?”
“Ah, my mother-in-law~ Why are you so picky? I’ll make sure I don’t feel sad. Because I work for a company, my schedule doesn’t go my way. Ehh~”
Park Sang-joo, unable to understand the situation, only told her aunt about the injustice she felt.
“Now the company’s employees even ignore me. Right now, the CEO is holding me back. It’s clear that I didn’t like that I joined the company through my aunt. All of this because my aunt sold stocks… Hey, I won’t talk about this any more. I’m really sorry. It would be great if you could discuss with me even a little…”
“You are already talking about my property as if it were yours. Why should I discuss it with you?”
“Ah! No. I don’t mean that…”
“Noisy!!”
Bang!
No matter how much you retire, the charisma of the past does not disappear.
Park Sang-joo quickly knelt down as if he belatedly realized that something was wrong.
If there was one thing she was good at without knowing how to do it, it was this.
Knowing how to lie down properly when you have to lie flat.
“Oh my! Aunt. Sorry. Did I say something too hesitant?”
“Does anyone you know say something like that? And what the hell are you doing at work? Are people at work ignoring you? Incompetent bosses who can’t work at my company can be ignored! The staff wouldn’t have looked down on you if you had shown your skills properly!”
“If even my aunt is ruthless towards me, how can I survive at work? Yes? Even if I want to learn, no one cares about me. When I call to come, they say that they couldn’t come because they were busy with work, and they excuse themselves by saying that they wanted to eat and go!”
“… Ha.”
At her nephew’s excuses that came out of her sigh, she finally touched her forehead.
She didn’t ask for much from this child.
She just hoped that at least one of her relatives would work for the company and connect with Honey Enter.
Now I thought that I couldn’t even wish for that small wish.
“Stop it and retire. Nothing good will happen if you stay there.”
“I know. Me too. But it’s just too embarrassing to come out like this. Honey Enter is a place where my aunt’s life is contained!”
“So. Are you going to keep going there? I don’t have a week in my hand?”
“I don’t know why my aunt gave all her stock to that woman. I don’t think I can or shouldn’t dare to guess. But the regret remains. I also wanted to follow in my aunt’s footsteps.”
“Are you following me?”
“Yes, the CEO there is keeping an eye on me, so I can’t stand it, so I should retire… It’s sad that I have to give up my dream like this. I was making plans all by myself.”
“Plan?”
She knew what her nephew was saying, but she pretended not to know and asked without pretense.
“Even if I want to continue working for the company now, it is certain that the CEO will kick me out. The staff there are also harassing me about what they heard from the CEO. While her aunt retired, he completely made Honey Enter his own. You erased all traces of your aunt! Aunt, don’t you feel unfair about this situation? Aren’t you angry?”
“I’m not too embarrassed. I passed the stock considering all those circumstances. Because he knew he would run the company well.”
“I am angry! Because I made my aunt’s achievements my own! So after thinking about it, I made a decision.”
Whoa, fucking shit.
“Auntie, I will take over your will and start an entertainment company! I made friends with some of the well-meaning employees there. Those friends were also very dissatisfied with the company. My aunt retired and the company became more and more strange. That’s why they were waiting for someone like me to show up!”
I felt like my ears would rot if I listened quietly.
Eventually, she couldn’t stand her and screamed at her.
“You bastard!!! You can’t come to your senses and run wild like a thunderclap!! Where do you have the money to start a company? I’m not saying you’re going to spend my money after all!!”
“Auntie! Are you saying you can’t support your nephew at this level? Even if I said I would continue my aunt’s dream?!”
“You guys want me to die soon, don’t you? That way, they’ll devour my property like a pack of wolves. Even now that you are still alive, you are making a fuss to take my money somehow, so the future is clear.”
“I’m sorry! Who cares about you as much as I do! Everyone is busy playing and eating while spending the money they received from Auntie. But I was the one who said he would join the company because he was worried that my aunt would feel resentment!”
Yes, at first I also tried to pass on quite a lot of property to my admirable heart.
This child must have acted like this for the purpose of money, but she thought it was better than other relatives who were just taking it.
“You are pitiful. I’m sorry…”
“Yes? Me?”
“No, I am so pathetic. What the hell did I expect from you… Let’s stop, Sangju. Retire and come out.”
“… Are you saying you have to leave the company right away?”
“Okay. Come out and do nothing.”
“As I said, you can do really well. Give me a little more time and I will bring you a detailed business plan and explain it to you.”
“As long as I live, I will not give you money to do business!! If you want to do business like that, do it with the money you earned! Or kill me with your own hands and receive an inheritance early!!”
“No, Auntie! How can you say that… Hold on, listen to me… !”
“Get out!! If you don’t disappear from my presence within a minute, I won’t be sitting still.”
Shocked by the eerie warning, Park Sang-ju hurriedly rose from his seat.
He seemed to realize that it was not good to keep holding on.
“All right, see you next time. You seem to be very excited today. If you listen carefully, you will change your mind.”
“Park Sang-joo!!!”
“Omg! Me, i’m going Get out!”
Seeing Park Sang-joo hurrying back, the boss felt embarrassed and his face burned.
Because she wasn’t close to her, she didn’t know about Park Sang-joo, and because he only showed her good side, she only knew that.
Since all of this happened because of her foolish regret, she had to properly take responsibility.
‘If I had known it would be like this, I should have let go of my lingering feelings… I don’t have the face to see you play.’
That she was trying to be condescending by trading the stock a little cheaper.
If Yeon-joo’s husband, Jin Hae-sol, hadn’t honestly told her about the situation, the heavy-mouthed Yeon-joo would have tried to shoulder all of this burden alone.
“I didn’t like it… Does that mean I have a pair of sandals too?”
She thought she knew Jo Yeon-joo better than anyone else, so she was surprised to see that the person she brought as her husband was an idol from her company.
She made an idol man her lifelong partner, and she even suspected that he had gone crazy while working.
But was Jo Yeon-joo still Jo Yeon-ju?
She continued to experience a man named Jin Hae-sol and found out that she was a much better person than she was worried about.
She came to see herself, who was obviously uncomfortable, for a performance, and she revealed the circumstances of the company that she had not been able to figure out.
Park Sang-joo was not a great enough person to influence Jin Hae-sol, a member of Air Plane, so it must have been for Jo Yeon-joo that she met him and talked about it.
‘He is a man who is willing to meet someone uncomfortable for his woman…’
He was a person not easy to see, and I thought it was fortunate that such a man was Jo Yeon-joo’s husband.
‘As expected, he has the know-how of working, so he sees people well.’
He’s a decent person, so even though he’s an idol in the company, he must have been in a romantic relationship.
He was worried that if he resigned from the company, he would die of old age while raising the company alone, but he was very fortunate.
Now, it seemed that I could completely put down my worries about the company and enjoy my later life.
‘After I’ve made sure to deal with the problems I’ve brought in.’

Just because the athletic meet is over doesn’t mean the work is over.
Rather, what we had to do with Remember was the beginning.
“To be honest, if you listen to their debut album, there are some strange things in the b-side songs, but the title song itself wasn’t too bad.”
“Just because it’s not bad doesn’t mean it’s good, right?”
“Right, that’s it. Their debut album wasn’t bad, but it was hard to say that it was very attractive. I got the concept well, but the song wasn’t exciting enough to bring it to life.”
Jackie and I were currently discussing a song that would suit the kids.
To be honest, the songs that go well with these guys aren’t the ones we often write.
Even so, there was nothing that I couldn’t write at all, so we discussed it together and decided to compose one.
“Didn’t I live with them for a bit? I was inspired by that.”
“Did you make it?”
“Huh. I made it.”
“It’s okay, let me hear it right away. It should be the title song.”
Jeki said he could do it as a title song without even listening to it.
It would sound absurd if other people heard it, but it was a melody that could be used as the title song if I said I was inspired by it.
It was impossible for Jackie, who had worked on it often, to not know.
“Listen first and then tell me.”
Still, the camera was filming us, so I spoke moderately modestly and played a song.
♪♪♩♬♪♬~
A lively and upbeat rhythm.
Since it was a group made up of young children, I was sure that they would be able to pull off this level of freshness.
“It’s really lively.”
“I tried to put all the bright and freshness inside me.”
“Goes well. When I heard it, the faces of the members of Remember immediately came to mind. Wouldn’t it be really exciting if they sang with this?”
“Thank God, I meant that. I can’t help but be excited and dance. I want to make the dance level easy enough for the public to follow. I think it’s not too late to do a splendid performance after the kids get to know their face a little more.”
It is to dance a simple yet addictive dance to this lively yet repetitive rhythm.
“The concept is really solid.”
“I thought I had to hold onto the image clearly from the start.”
“You should listen to the kids, but I think it’s good. Would you like to touch this a little more?”
“Am I here more? Aren’t you arranging?”
“I feel like the song will become unnecessarily flashy if I touch it. I don’t think I would be able to make a song of this style if asked.”
“Then I’ll try to make this to the end.”
“Hyung has already made a song, what should I do now?”
“Are you going to play one of my songs? I have to write a few songs for the kids to choose from. For the time being, whenever I have time, I plan to make songs for children.”
Even if Ahyeon wasn’t busy with her studying abroad, she would have asked her to take a hand in this matter.
It was because I knew that Ah Hyun could make this kind of lively and fresh music better than anyone else.
However, since she was busy studying abroad, she did not want to distract her attention elsewhere.
“Even if I make a song, I have no confidence that it will come out better than this.”
“What, why are you making such a weak sound all of a sudden? If you listen to me writing songs like this, you’ll do better than me.”
“Maybe not this time. I’ve rarely written songs in this style. Your style is so different from ours.”
“That’s right. I came up with it because I often play with my kids, otherwise I would never have written it.”
It’s not a lie, it’s 100% true.
If it wasn’t for the sudden burst of inspiration when I was playing with the kids, I would have been lost like Jackie.
Even though it’s a song I made, if you ask me to write something similar, I’ll shake my head.
