Chapter 331 – #71_Manager (10)
#332
One.
The income Yoo-chan brought was close to a miracle for Harin.
A once-in-a-lifetime chance.
And Harin had enough skills to make use of that opportunity.
It was different from the first stage, which was completely ruined by tension and pressure.
Harin stood on the stage of terrestrial music broadcasting and showed off her enough talent for 3 weeks in a row.
Their dance skills are obviously on a higher level than other idols or dancers.
Harin’s dance her, which even the choreography teacher acknowledged, became a hot topic on YouTube and became a story about her stretching her.
As the days go by, the reaction on stage gets hotter.
The number of views of her music videos her rose frighteningly fast, and even her albums her sold like hot cakes, to the point that she had to shoot additional albums in a hurry.
If it had been normal, she would have been able to win first place in one of the three broadcasts.
If it hadn’t been for the slightest misfortune.
“Whatever. I am satisfied with this.”
On the way back after finishing the last pre-shooting.
Harin said, leaning her cheek against the passenger side window.
From the 3rd week onwards, Harin, who was nominated for the championship by 3 teams, missed the championship by a very narrow margin each time.
“You’re out of luck. Didn’t I say that usually comeback stages have a term so that they don’t overlap?”
“It’s been three weeks since we started working again. Were you considerate enough?”
The reason for this was the new song ‘Blonde Archie’ of the male idol group ‘NTR’, which has the largest female fandom in Korea.
The purchasing power of true male idol fans easily exceeds 10 albums per person.
Besides, when you sleep, you play the group’s songs on online music sites all night long?
Because of this, no matter how you try to rub it in the on-site voting, you will end up with a gap in the score summation.
“Even if you say that, you look resentful?”
“Is it?”
Now that burnout has come, my head is just a little blank.
Harin stretched himself while watching the scenery outside the window.
Harin also had some big changes.
“Still, something is comforting. I guess it’s because of the advice her brother gave me in the past.”
No more haste
If she had been herself before, she would have lamented the accidental misfortune, felt resentful and disappointed, and tried to release all those emotions with mad practice.
She must have been taken to the emergency room from overwork.
But not anymore.
With a little bigger breathing, she has time to look at her future dreams of her.
And one more change.
“This is my first time going to a man’s house.”
“Your name is a celebrity, but you have to be careful with your body.”
“You’re not expecting too much, are you?”
It is that she has become dangerously close to Yoo-chan.
Harin is confused at first, but she is soon able to face her own feelings for him.
Her feelings for her for Yu-chan are likable.
If Harin had been an ordinary college student, not a celebrity, she would have had a crush on her that would have gone straight to dating.
She wasn’t stupid enough to deny that per se.
“What are you talking about when you insist on coming first?”
“When did I take it off? I don’t remember anything like that?”
That’s right.
Because her tight schedule her continued, whenever she found time, she secretly flirted with Yoo-chan, saying that she wanted to visit Yu-chan’s house.
However, Harin smiled naturally and corrected her posture her.
“But where are you going? You seem to have come quite far.”
“I’m going back a little on purpose. If someone is following you from behind, try to ostracize them. Both you and I are in trouble.”
“How are you? There might be a singer who goes to the manager’s house to play. Can you do more than that?”
“This is as easy as it gets.”
Seeing Yoo-chan’s confident smile on her face, Harin turned her head and smiled at her window.
My stomach tickles.
It wasn’t that Harin didn’t know that the emotion was excitement.
But she says Harin has a dream.
Numerous cases prove how deadly the scandal that erupts at this time, when it is about to take off after a long sleep, is fatal to female singers.
So this is good for now.
A manager and singer who are on good terms with each other.
If we continue to maintain this relationship, someday, someday…
While she was alone in her thoughts of her, Harin was taken aback by the unfamiliar scenery outside the window.
“What are you doing here?”
“This is my uncle’s house. It’s actually my house now.”
When Yoo-chan activated her remote control in her pocket, she opened the way by moving left and right with her automatic fence that read ‘No entry to private property’.
Harin saw the fence closing by itself in the rearview mirror at an unfamiliar sight she had never seen before.
“You live here?”
“Are you a little surprised?”
“Little? Oppa, does this look like a little bit?”
Yoo-chan parks her car in the middle of the gloomy garden.
Harin was shocked as soon as he got off.
Even though she is rich, she thinks of a luxury apartment, a country house as she sees her climbing a mountain path.
However, she hadn’t even imagined that it would be a three-story mansion that she would only see on a trip to Europe.
“It looks like some kind of exotic cafe.”
Harin, spitting out her bewildered sentiments of her, opened her mouth as she looked at the fountain in her garden of her.
Although it is a weed field because it is not properly managed, it will soon become a wonderful garden with a little effort.
“Let’s go in.”
Harin stepped her foot into her mansion as if she were possessed. How much would a house like this cost?
She was at a loss for words as soon as she stood in the lobby exuding the elegance and luxury of old nobility.
I don’t know what to say now.
It should be said that it feels like an executive lounge that is open only to guests staying in a suite room or higher.
In addition, there is a huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the stairway in front.
– Fighting, shouting!
“Kyaaak! What’s this!”
Harin was started by the three beasts that suddenly jumped out of the darkness.
Yu-chan knelt down on her knees and pet the three Dobermans, who welcomed their master home.
He was so bored that he licked Yu-chan’s cheeks and placed his two big paws on her shoulders.
“Hey, hey, how do you get rid of him!”
Among them, Gunther is the first to reveal her interest in Harin.
Between the zippered long padding, she began to vigorously wag her tail, inserting her nose into her groin.
“Guys, go out and play.”
Yu-chan, seeing Harin’s embarrassment of her, opened the door to her mansion her, and the three hounds jumped out amicably.
It feels like a typhoon has passed.
Harin couldn’t keep her mouth shut because everything was bewildered.
2.
“Do idols really date a lot?”
“It’s amazing.”
After a light meal, Harin was guided to a nice study on the second floor.
On the table are cheese and jamon cut into cubes.
We sipped wine and chatted while listening to calm classical music from the phonograph.
“Isn’t the management company doing something like management?”
“Even if I manage it, I do it all while avoiding my eyes. Of all the guys I know, there are five couples.”
“Five?”
For idols who sell pseudo-love feelings, dating scandals are deadly poison.
Even from the agency’s point of view, if an idol that has been invested and nurtured is involved in a scandal, it will cause extreme damage, so even cell phones are confiscated and cracked down thoroughly.
But where is the human mind controlled by rules?
“How do you usually meet?”
“Just hosting the same entertainment program, or privately exchanging contacts in the waiting room… Oh right, you know that, right? Idol Sports Festival or something like that. Especially on that side, there was a lot going on.”
“It’s fun.”
“But they all don’t last long. Should I say that it gets hot and then cools down? I can’t even go on a decent date, and since I’m hiding, I have limited things to do. The schedule was so tight that we didn’t even have time to meet, so everyone withered after three months.” “So that’s why dating rumors always explode.”
“Right.”
It was a love story that started suddenly, but Harin didn’t hate it.
No she rather wants to.
What better story to use as a side dish than a love story?
Every time Yu-chan nodded her head with her curious eyes, something was proud.
“How about you?”
“Me? What?”
“I don’t know, have you ever been in a relationship?”
A meaningful question at a meaningful time.
The tone itself is the same as usual, but the atmosphere is different.
Prior to her answer her, Harin’s heart started beating a little faster.
“I don’t have Isn’t it better to practice more when you have time to do that? Besides, when the recognition is ambiguous like now, dating rumors will become an issue for a while, so curse words will be eaten as they are and they will be buried as they are.”
“As expected, Harin is sincere.”
Harin laughed as if it tickled.
Just being with him makes her laugh.
Right now, each of them chooses a sofa and sits apart, but in her heart her, she wants to hold him next to him.
She wants to be held in his warm arms of her, to smell his her body of her, to lean his head against him.
She had thought her dreams of her were more important than petty romances.
Therefore, Harin did not fall for any subtle flirting.
Even when she received the number, she immediately erased it, and even when contacted, she was consistent with a short answer.
It was also true that she didn’t really have a man she liked.
However, Yu-chan was different.
He is somehow different from other men.
There is a charm that seems to be bottomless, and a strange sense of mystery that makes you want to know more and more.
He makes you crave love.
Even if that love is dangerous.
Harin sighed for no reason and cooled her heated heart.
I’ve never had anything like this before.
If she’s in a relationship, she’s been in her relationship for more than six months, thinking she’s had enough.
“Why are you so silent?”
“…Why didn’t you say anything?”
“I was watching you blush. Are you drunk?”
Yoo-chan stood up from her seat. Harin’s body stiffened slightly.
If he came and sat next to her now, would he be able to push it out?
If the person sitting next to you kisses you, can you avoid it?
If he wants more than that after the kiss, he certainly won’t resist.
“Would you like some air?”
It was only after Yoo-chan stood up to open the window that Harin was able to calm her down a bit.
She really only plans to look around the house and eat and then go back.
Even Yoo-chan, the only driver, drank, so it is certain that he will sleep here today.
Harin strengthened her resolve.
It should end here.
Any more than this he will fall for him and there will be no turning back.
“Hey… Brother.”
“Why are you cold?”
“No, that’s not it.”
It may be a useless excitement, but since Yu-chan is a man, he may have a strange misunderstanding, so he will have to set a line.
In fact, rather than preventing his mistakes of her, it was more meaningful to declare that Harin’s heart would not be inclined arbitrarily.
“I think you are a really good person. I think he likes you too.”
“It would be an honor if you did.”
“But… I still have a lot of things I want to do. There is still a lot to do and more to come.”
If Yu-chan had no thoughts, this declaration would be very funny.
It may look like drinking kimchi soup from a reservoir.
“So I think this is the best.”
“I see what you mean.”
However, Yu-chan did not show a look of surprise or a look of bewilderment.
He smiles as if he understands everything and refills the empty glass.
“Coming to think of it, it was a situation that was misunderstood enough. I know what you value.”
“……”
“So don’t worry and go to sleep. I didn’t know if you were going to sleep, so I prepared bedding in Uncle’s room. You sleep in my room.”
Seeing Yoo-chan casually accepting it, Harin couldn’t bring himself to say anything further.
He couldn’t say that if he had a solid foundation that would not be shaken by small issues, he would have a deeper relationship.
Eventually, after giving up alcohol and taking a light shower in the dry bath, Harin entered Yuchan’s room.
Nightgowns and pajamas block the cold air in a cool room.
Harin crawls under the thick blanket spread on the bed, and Yuchan puts firewood in the indoor stove.
“Then be careful not to sleep with the futon on, and get the key here.”
“What key?”
“It’s the room key. Even if you try to lock it from the inside, you need a key. Go to bed before bed.”
“Ah, what, would you come at night and attack me?”
“It’s good to be sure of each other.”
“That’s all right.”
Harin chuckled and threw her key back to Yuchan.
“Your brother will never be that kind of person.”
“Is it touching that you trust me this much?”
“If he was that kind of person, he would have been messing around even when he was drinking.”
After her last greeting her, Yoo-chan heads to the room where her uncle her used to live, and Harin quietly buries her nose in her pillow.
His body odor rises from both the blanket and the pillow, making his head dizzy.
“You’re not having a strange dream, are you?”
That day, Harin dreamed of going on a date with Yuchan all night.
