Chapter 162 – I Thought It Was a Fly
“Well, to be honest, until now you…”
Soye hesitated for a moment, as if choosing her words.
“A fly, I thought.”
No, weren’t you choosing a horse?
It’s pretty straightforward.
“As someone who wants to play around with other people’s men and try to eat them.”
“Ah, is that so? That’s really good…”
“But it wasn’t. You were sincere I was looking at it wrong.”
Cheonbom sarcastically tried to strike back, but closed her mouth at Soye’s last words.
“Remember what we said earlier? The ‘promise’ between me and you.”
“…Yes I remember. How can I forget that?”
“I’ll pretend it didn’t exist. Do whatever you want.”
At Soye’s words, Cheonbom widened her eyes.
She was the one who cried, screamed, and surprised along the way today, but it was the first time she opened her eyes wide like this.
“Of course, there is no meaning beyond that. Don’t be mistaken about that.”
“Sister? What was it about?”
“B-wheat. It was something between that woman and me.”
Soye put a hand on my shoulder.
“Sejin-ah.”
“Huh.”
“You can do whatever you want. Don’t mind us.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
I asked again, but So-ye laughed without answering.
Just kneading my shoulders and sticking to my back.
When she turned her head and looked at Cheonbom, she too was looking at me without saying a word.
“…”
“…”
“…”
She was crying and screaming and fussing until just now, but it’s really strange to see her suddenly so quiet.
“Hey, what’s the reason for laying the plate like this now!”
Cheonbom was the first to speak.
“I didn’t set the plate. I just gave you a little consideration so that you can freely express your true feelings.”
“Huh, heh…! No need for such consideration! In the first place… There’s no way we can talk in this atmosphere…!”
So-ye calmly looks after Cheon-bom even when he loses his temper.
“Okay, I’m going. Anyway, you guys are busy today too, and talking about this and that now will only interrupt… Seriously, what is it all of a sudden, really. They come out of nowhere and do whatever they want, ha ha…”
Grumble.
Bom Cheon, who was muttering in a subtly high tone of voice, filled with resentment and annoyance, turned his back and went away.
I didn’t dry it.
Soye suddenly said something strange, asking me to do it my way, but she said that hitting the wall for the sake of the kids was what she did with my will in the first place.
There’s nothing to hold on to that woman or talk about here.
Yes no
“Chun Bom! Also, if that person gets into a fight, call me right away.”
Still, you have to be careful about any accidents.
At my cry, Cheonbom stopped her steps for a moment, and she walked away again.
She watched me for a while, then took Soye’s hand on my shoulder.
“Sister, let’s go to the waiting room. I need to rest a bit and prepare for the stage.”
“Huh.”
Soye didn’t say anything to me like that.
Doesn’t say good or bad about my choice, doesn’t recommend what to do or don’t do…
It seemed like he was really trying to show me with his actions that he was fine no matter what he did.
Whoops.
While returning to the waiting room with So-ye, her cell phone vibrated.
When I took it out, Cheonbom’s message was floating on the screen.
〉 Cheonbom: Got it
You heard me.
Did you not want to answer with words in front of Soye?
〉 Cheonbom: And that
I waited for him to say something in the ensuing message, but after about a minute, he didn’t say anything, so I put his cell phone back in my pocket.
And after a little more time passed, when I arrived at the waiting room again, my phone trembled again.
〉 Cheonbom: Thank you
〉 Cheonbom: For saving me
Only then did she receive a message of thanks from her.
Well, this person is also a bit annoying.
***
After that, the award ceremony went successfully.
First of all, performances were held by all participating singers and idols, and Soye, Haeun, and Minji all performed successfully on stage in full condition.
I was a little worried about what suddenly happened to Cheon Bom, but it was such a good stage that my worries were overshadowed.
It was a better stage than when I practiced normally.
As expected, it was good that he soothed Haeun and Minji diligently.
‘Cheonbom is…’
As the award ceremony progressed, I was worried and looked at Cheonbom’s seat, but she was sitting alone and enjoying the performance.
I wondered if she might just go home, but when I saw her watching the stage, I thought she was a very sincere person.
Whether it’s the job or the stage, if you’re given something, you’re a person who can digest it. Not usually sincere
‘…I can’t see Kangyoon.’
Kang Yoon was nowhere to be seen.
Even while Four Hearts is showing off the actual stage.
I wondered if I hadn’t found it, so I looked around the audience as well as behind the stage, but it wasn’t there.
Could this person have even played dings?
At least the road manager remained, so it was fortunate that there was no one to take care of Foheart.
Well, I’m not flirting next to Cheonbom, so I don’t think anything bad will happen…
“Okay then, this time we will present the Best Trend Award. This year, it is a group that resurfaced like a comet and aroused great interest not only in Korea but also abroad.”
“Idols, pictorials, and even games… Drawing attention from people all over the world in various fields was something no one thought of. Why didn’t I recognize this potential until now? Best Trend Award, The Queens!”
‘It was good!’
The award given to us is the Trend Award.
It was an award given to a group that drew a lot of attention both domestically and internationally and created a trend.
After the concert in Japan, Soye’s photos spread a lot, and Haeun and Minji also attracted game fans, so it must have been highly praised.
“Thank you so much, I will show you a great image in the future…!”
Soye went out as a representative to receive the award and gave her impressions.
In the process, the area around her eyes looked moist, to the point where you could see how happy she was to win the award.
But the awards didn’t end there.
After the presenter announced another award a long time ago…
“Best Performance Award, female category. I am very happy to be able to give this award to this group again. In the second half of this year, there were few groups that showed as great a performance as this group. In particular, the perfect image shown in the music video is great…!”
“It wasn’t just the performance. It was a group that showed excellent performances not only for pictorial and other activities, but also for vocals. The Best Performance Award, the Women’s Award, is The Queens!”
Oh, I hadn’t even thought of this.
I never thought I would win two awards.
Soye, like me, must have been very surprised, and this time, she announced her impressions with a trembling voice.
“Ah, thank you so much…! I never thought I would win a performance award…”
“Congratulations!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our group, that, ah, next year we have a lot more to show you, so that, work hard…”
“Thank you. We will continue to show great performances in the future!”
As Soye tried to speak gibberish, Haeun snatched the microphone from the side and finished her testimony.
It was a nice assist because it was a place where the award had to be announced briefly.
“…So I will finish the announcement of the award. Then you should enjoy the encore performance right away, right?”
On a stage where some people cried with joy and some felt bitter with regret, our children performed an encore performance again while crying.
No, not all of our children, but Soye was crying alone…
‘Soye, it’s worth it. How much I must have wanted it.’
Compared to her two younger siblings, she is older and has suffered for a long time, so her inspiration must be different.
Seeing that scene, I had tears in my eyes for no reason.
After the encore performance was over, we went through all sorts of hectic processes, starting with greetings at the end of the stage, greeting other people, and interacting with other managers, before finally leaving the Gocheok Dome with the kids.
“You did a great job, kids, really… You did a good job, stop crying.”
“Yeah, uh uh uh uh uh uh…”
As soon as I got into the car, I hugged the crying So-ye and patted her.
Baek Yena’s gaze bothered me a little, but now it’s more about comforting Soye than that.
“Manager Lee, shall we go to the restaurant we reserved right away?”
“Yes, please.”
“Restaurant?”
“I have prepared a dinner party. Let’s eat and rest today.”
“Oh! Hey, can I have a drink then?”
“…A little bit.”
“Oh yea!”
Ha-eun is very excited that she even allows alcohol.
I didn’t know he liked to drink.
Come to think of it, I’ve never had a drink with the kids.
“Sister, let’s have a proper drink after a long time, huh?”
“Yes, yes… Sniff.”
“Don’t drink Minji. Understand?”
“What?”
…Except for Minji.
If he drinks and explodes his sexual desire on the spot, he can’t handle it.
“Im here.”
We quickly arrived at the restaurant.
It was a luxurious meat restaurant.
Perhaps thanks to my permission to eat as much as I want, all three women ate a lot of meat.
“Eat as much as you want. Drink only in moderation It’s off tomorrow, so there’s no need to worry, but… Ah, Baek Yena-ssi, if you’d like to eat too, you can.”
“I don’t drink alcohol. This is because brain cells are destroyed and the risk of dementia rises by 24%.”
“Oh, I see? Then I’ll ask you to drive. I’ll have a little drink too.”
Great.
Let’s drink for a long time too.
If not on a day like this, when would you like to drink?
So we finished the frantic dinner party, got drunk enough to feel good, and with Baek Yena’s help, the kids went to the dorm and I went home.
It was a very fun and pleasant day.
Cheonbom was a little worried, but she will have to worry again from tomorrow.
I had to pay the price of delay, the very next day.
