Idols Around the World 276

Chapter 276 – #42. End of Year (4)

“Ah.”

Meow-

The first day of vacation has dawned, but it’s hard to get out of bed.
It wasn’t that my body was tired, and the mental damage was no joke.

“Are you still struggling?”

My sister Joo came to wake me up with her apron, and when she saw me blinking, she asked.
My older sister Joo, who ate me yesterday, had a bruise on her face.

“Why is your sister so fine?”
“I guess it’s because I took care of myself yesterday.”
“…”
“Ahaha! Wake up early and eat We need to get ready for the party.”

She decided to throw a party for Christmas.
I called all of them, including Bok-soon noona, Ah-hyuni, and Min-young noona.
Joo-a and Jung-hwa were busy cooking, and it was my job to create a party atmosphere.
I squirmed and stayed in bed for a few more minutes, then Jung-hwa patted my butt and woke me up, forcing me to get up.
When I came out yawning, Taeyang was preoccupied with the TV.
My child is cute today too.

“Did the sun sleep well? Sun? Daddy is here sun?”

My dad says hello, but I don’t take my eyes off the TV.
What is that damn penguin boss…

“I can’t beat the penguin boss to Taeyang. Just give up.”

Jung-hwa smiled at me as Taeyang looked at the penguin boss.

“Is he that great? Even when Dad talks to me, he doesn’t take his eyes off me.”
“How glad I am that you like me that much. Penguin Boss is a mom’s wannabe.”
“Kuhm.”

After hearing what Jeong-hwa said, she couldn’t ask to see her father any longer.
Because she seemed to fit that being a penguin boss was more awesome than a dad who wasn’t helpful with parenting.
After washing and eating a simple meal, I helped to decorate the house in earnest.

“It makes you look pretty in no time because you decorate it like this.”

Twinkling lights hang from the waist-length Christmas tree, and a golden star hangs from the top.
Candies, socks, and star-shaped decorations run all over the tree, creating quite a Christmas atmosphere.
In addition, balloons and decorations of three red-nosed deer pulling a carriage hang on the wall.

“Kyaa!”

As if Penguin Boss is over, Taeyang, who has finally started looking after his father, is held in his arms and shows the decorations.
Her chubby cheeks were blushing, and whoever she was was so cute that I couldn’t stop kissing her.

“Then the kid’s cheeks will wear out.”

I didn’t do what Joo-ah told me to do, but I hugged her baby and gave her a kiss.

“Leave it. I wanted to see you, but now I’ve finally met you, so I’m going to stick with you.”
“That’s why I left it alone, but it was because Taeyang would be annoyed if he continued to do that.”

Taeyang was also happy to see his father, whom he hadn’t seen in a while, and was eagerly accepting him, but soon the limit came.
I loved it, but I didn’t know because I was distracted, but when I checked Taeyang’s expression, it was clear that he was reacting more roughly than the first time, and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

“It can’t be helped if Taeyang is bothered.”

After letting go of Taeyang, I sincerely moved to decorate the house in earnest.

“What did you buy so many?”
“I ended up buying this and that and putting it all together. I guess I was overdoing my desire to have a fun party.”
“I don’t think I can write all of them.”

Despite the huge size of the house, it seemed that she would not be able to use all the things Jeong-hwa and Joo-a had bought.
It’s big enough to use all of this, but it’ll look rather messy.
As the preparations for the party came to an end, one by one they arrived at the house.
The first person to arrive was Minyoung noona, followed by Ahyeon and Boksun noona.

“It’s much better decorated than I thought.”
“Are you okay?”
“I think it’s exciting because it has a Christmas atmosphere.”
“Play Carol!”

At Hyun-yi’s request, even Carol joins the party, creating a perfect party atmosphere.
As expected, Jin Taeyang was the most popular among the party attendees.

‘He’s my son, but I’m envious.’

Taeyang, who was born with my face mixed with my sister Joo-ah, was fraudulent just by being himself.

“Isn’t it that only the sun is pretty? Make me pretty too Lonely.”
“Are you jealous of Taeyang?”
“It’s been a while since we’ve been together, but I don’t even look at it, and everyone is busy loving Taeyang.”
“You wait a bit. You idiot.”

It was a strange signal that even if he liked Taeyang now, everyone would be liking me by the end of the party.
My dissatisfaction faded, but I nodded my head calmly.

“Look at how calm you’ve become because you said you’d be nice to me later.”

Joo-ah noona laughed, as if I was cute after I had suddenly calmed down.
As carols flowed, delicious food and alcohol were served, you and I could all have a good time together.
Since the number of participants was quite large, the topics of conversation were very diverse.
Talks about pregnancy, health, and Taeyang popped up from time to time, and since Minyoung and Jooah are actors, we chatted about acting and the industry.
Ahyeoni and Junghwa were unexpectedly struck by the food and continued the conversation.

‘Ahyeon doesn’t seem to know that Jeong-hwa is a private chef.’

Jung-hwa has a complex about cooking, so in theory she was quite knowledgeable.
Ah Hyun-i said that she knew little about cooking, so she seemed to be getting a lot of help from Jeong-hwa in the theoretical part.
After chatting like that, it was time to present the presents.
It was a mini-event where you draw a lot like Manito and buy a gift for that person.
I missed the mini-event, and I had presents ready for all the girls.

‘By the way, when did they get along like this?’

In the beginning, I didn’t know that we would be able to laugh and chat like this because we were in a war of nerves.
It was a party to celebrate Christmas, but it meant a lot to me that a place like this could exist.
My gift was also presented to the women who were laughing while exchanging gifts with each other.

“This is a gift I prepared because I want everyone to be free of pain next year and stay younger.”
“Is it healthy food?”
“It’s special, so everyone eat one.”

It is an item purchased with coins.
The shape is a circle, but it is a pure health item that is not related to beauty.

“Are we already healthy enough? Thanks to what you usually bring, there is no sore spot.”
“It means getting healthier. There is nothing wrong with being healthy.”
“It doesn’t.”

To be precise about the item, it is an item like permanent health +10.
The items I had brought so far were given to me to recover the consumed health when my total health was 500.
But the item I gave you today is an item that turns HP 500 into HP 510.
In other words, no matter how healthy you were before, this item was bound to help everyone.
Everyone received a round pill, put it in their mouth, and chewed it thoroughly.

“Can I eat this too?”
“You can eat it.”

Bok-soon noona, who is pregnant, had to take care of her food more than anyone else.

“I don’t think anything has changed.”
“Everything he brings is great. You will feel it later.”

This item will help me too.
As their virility increased and they began to use their abilities in sex, the time for women to retire became extremely short, but as their stamina increased, they would be able to enjoy themselves in bed for a little longer.
She thinks it’s a good virtuous cycle because she can earn coins by having a lot of sex with them, and with those coins, she can give them useful gifts.

“But are you going to end your holiday with a party today? What are you going to do the rest of the time?”

The party is good, but Min-young noona secretly asked if she wanted to spend her vacation more fully.

“Is there anything you want to do with me?”
“… Huh.”
“What is it? Ah! Then, please tell me one by one. I want you to do it for me.”
“Can you really do everything for me?”
“Sure!”

I have already done it to Jung-hwa and Joo-ah noona.
Once started, it had to be finished neatly.

“It’s a bit difficult…”
“It’s for my older sister, so I have to be willing to do it even if it’s difficult.”
“Oops! You are too close.”

As I brought her face closer to Min-young, she lowered her head, blushing on her cheeks.
Even though we’ve shared our breath closer than this many times, Minyoung noona was very cute, as she was embarrassed by this level of contact.
“Oh my gosh, look at him flirting. That’s why I fall for it.”

Bok-soon noona teased her by poking my side, but I steadfastly urged Min-yeong noona.

“Tell me. What can I do?”
“… Can you appear on the show for a while as my friend? No, I won’t bother you too much. It really only takes a moment.”
“A broadcast?”

It’s a sudden request, so I tilt my head.
My older sister, Min-young, called me, and she thought it would be nice to fill the broadcast, she says.

“Yeah, this time I went on a variety show, but I guess it wasn’t fun because I appeared alone. He said he would like to call a friend and fill in the amount…”
“If you need help, there’s nothing you can’t do, so why did you want to do it with me? A lot of people know about this industry.”

On this side, she is Min-yeong’s older sister, who has lived an unknown life for a long time and has a strong connection in the theater field as well.
It was unusual that she wanted to go out with me because the people she could call her friends were widely spread.

“… I don’t have much contact with people these days. I almost cut off all contact.”
“Really? Why did you do that? What happened?”

Min-young’s older sister didn’t respond readily and lowered her face.
I don’t know what it was about her, but it seemed like there was something that deeply hurt her heart.

“Sister, don’t you regret it?”

Just as I was about to urge Min-young’s sister, who didn’t speak to her, Hyun-Ah interrupted our conversation.

“No. I have no regrets.”
“It was really good. Don’t regret it. It is a situation where you have to think about whether or not to accept even if they apologize a hundred times first. “

Apparently something happened to Minyoung noona, and Ahyeon seemed to know about it.
She seems to have helped as well.

“What the hell is going on? It seems like something big happened, but why didn’t you tell me?”
“Don’t talk. She thought she had a stomach ache. She told me never to tell you, so she couldn’t tell me. Now that it’s all over, can I tell Haesol?”
“Ugh… It’s embarrassing.”
“It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Those bitches were bad! “
“I know their feelings too…”

In the end, instead of Min-yeong, who said she couldn’t speak because she was shy, Ah-hyeon gave an explanation.
Min-young noona suddenly became a star, and people around her congratulated her at first.
However, as the popularity continued to grow, people’s reactions began to change little by little.

“I, I must have changed to some extent. Because I was happy, because I was happy. After becoming prettier, I gained a lot of confidence.”

She was recognized for her acting skills, people praised her for being beautiful, and naturally, the center of all her work started with herself.
It’s a situation where her mind can’t help but be excited.

“I was very excited, but I knew that I didn’t achieve this because I was good at it. If you hadn’t changed my face, I’d still be making a living as an unknown actor. Knowing how difficult and painful living an unknown life is, I had no choice but to pretend I didn’t know that my acquaintances were jealous of me.”

“That’s not the end. I didn’t even ask for it, but my sister came forward and helped me. But after that person got help, she went on a gossip behind her back. Isn’t it really absurd?”

And she said that after helping her once, she thought it was her right and started taking it for granted.
I started to want more and more help, even help that my sister couldn’t.

“I said it was impossible because I’m not that great of a person, but I didn’t believe it. Rather, everyone said that I had changed. I used to be kind, but now that I’ve risen, people have changed. It wasn’t me who changed, it was them.”

Can’t even do that much between us?
Are you ignoring us just because you’re out?
For Min-young, who already has low self-esteem, the change in acquaintances must have been a great pain.

“If I hadn’t accidentally heard Minyoung unnie call, I would have been subjected to such things all this time.”

Ah Hyun-yi found out about the situation by accident, and she and Bok-soon noona got hitched and started to help.

“It’s true that my sister’s class has changed from before. She hooked up with her old connections and let me know I didn’t have to grunt. Rather, it was a situation where you had to try to maintain her friendship with her sister! Even if you help those kids, will you ask them to come up with something bigger later on?”
“They’re typical guys who think a favor is a right.”

Bok-soon noona also agrees with Ah-hyeon’s words.
Minyoung noona smiled awkwardly, she said.

“Anyway, that’s why I don’t have any decent connections to appear on TV right now.”

Calling a non-celebrity friend to a broadcast won’t make the amount appear.
In the end, they said that they had to call in celebrities who could appear on the show and film them, but he had no such connections.
I thought for a while and said.

“It’s not bad for me to appear, but isn’t it better to appear with Joo-ah than me?”
“Joo, with Mr. Joo? I think it would be too inconvenient…”

Minyoung noona is startled by my words.
It seems that she hadn’t thought of calling Joo-a noona.
The two of them met eyes, but seeing something awkward, it seemed that the two weren’t very close.
There are bound to be awkward moments among friends who flock to each other.
Unfortunately, that was Joo-ah and Min-young.
However, Joo-ah noona came out surprisingly cool.

“If that had happened, you should have told me earlier. Calling Haesol is a good thing considering the topicality, but the guest is so flashy that her sister will be buried. There could be a scandal. I guess it would be good for both of us if I appeared. It’s a schedule that helps me too.”

Both of them have good images, and they are rising talented actresses these days, so it would be very helpful to let them know that they are close on TV.
Isn’t there a saying that originally we play with each other?
Even at the agency, he would prefer to have her sister Joo appear on the show rather than me, who risks a scandal.
The friendship between an actress and a male idol is a combination that will attract reporters’ attention by itself.
