Chapter 286 – #44. New Year (4)
Target!!
“Yeah~!”
“Target! Target! Target!”
The members couldn’t get out of the aftermath of last night’s dinner party and went to bed late.
The members huddled together at the trophy stand without washing, and could not take their eyes off the grand prize trophy.
“You mean this is really ours?”
Hehe!”
“Can I kiss you here?”
“No! Don’t get dirty!”
“It’s not like this, let’s take a picture and post it on social media!”
The members, who cherished the trophy and flirted with each other, washed up and moved to their agency only at 1:00.
We had lunch at the agency and gathered in the familiar team meeting room.
Around that time, I got a call from Lanna.
“I’ll pick up the phone and come.”
“Ugh~”
The kids were busy chatting, so it was easy to leave the meeting room and answer the phone.
“Hello?”
-It’s me, boss!
“Lanna. Did you sleep well?”
-Yes… Did you come early in the morning? Why did you just go wake me up
“I couldn’t because I was sleeping soundly. It was too late, so I was just going to look at her face for a second.”
-That’s why you cleaned the room…
I woke up and got a call from Lanna.
Yesterday’s Gayo Daejeon ended at dawn, and I barely found time to stop by her house.
The reason I went to Lanna’s house instead of anywhere else was because she was very disappointed when I said that I didn’t have time at the end of the year.
It was obvious for a while, and after that, he accepted it calmly, saying that it was okay, but it was clear that his heart was broken.
That’s why I did it in the hope that if I had time to listen to it, it would alleviate some of my regrets.
‘It was a schedule I couldn’t even do without the item.’
Still, whether the effort was worthwhile, Lanna’s voice on the phone was full of regret, but there was no sadness.
“How is your hangover?”
When she entered her house, the smell of her alcohol wafted through and her friends were crumpled and sleeping.
‘For a moment, I thought I went back to college.’
At that time, the female alumni were very close and friendly like the military alumni.
– Oops! Sorry. Did you look ugly? I ate the food the boss bought and went downstairs. Her friends also really liked it.
“Thank god. I ate that for breakfast too.”
Seolleongtang, which was packaged at a restaurant, was also eaten for breakfast by our members.
It was impossible not to drink at all, so even though I was not very drunk, I ate enough to make my stomach hurt without knowing it, so I needed a hangover.
-Did your busy work go well? There’s no problem with coming to me, right?
“Yes. The job is well done. I stopped by because I was attending a dinner party until late, and I thought I would have a little time after it was over.”
-Ah… You were working
“If I hadn’t had work, I would have gone to see Lanna-san… I’m sorry for making you spend our first year-end alone.”
Doesn’t that mean she can’t attend Gayo Daejeon?
In addition, to make it worthwhile to suddenly become an MC, we received the best award, the Song Daesang this year.
The guesses of the seniors who watched the MC together were correct.
‘Well, it felt good to receive it anyway. Especially because the fans love it so much…’
Somehow, the fans liked it more than we did, so I was very proud and happy.
Fans who are happy and like their work when others are doing well are amazing, and I am so grateful.
‘How can you love me so passionately? I think it’s really great.’
There are many times when I am amazed at the fans who love us that much.
You’ve never done anything great, but you love us to the point of being undeserved.
Their love is too much for them, and the thought that they should not disappoint them makes their shoulders feel scared.
-No. I had a lot of fun with my friends. The boss must have been very tired from the dinner party.
I was distracted from having a party.
The representative paid for the dinner with Geum Il-bong for our first target.
The employees were so happy to receive the gold daily wage…
Suddenly, it reminded me of my company life in the past.
“I guess so. It’s because people at the company aren’t as comfortable as they are. It would have been a much happier time if I had been with Lanna-san, but it’s a pity.”
-Ah! I would have too.
“Brother!! The director is here!”
At that time, I heard a voice calling me from far away.
It was impossible to talk on the phone for a long time because I came out for a short time in the middle of work.
“I’m at work so I won’t be able to talk for a long time. I’ll call you when I have time.”
-Yes.
“Isn’t that a problem? I have no strength in my voice.”
-No! I also had to go to the cafe.
“You must be having a hard time, the weather is cold, so dress warmly and go to work.”
-Yes. Boss, be careful not to catch a cold.
Unable to hide his regret, the call was disconnected and he headed to the place where the members were gathered.
“Can I ask who it is?”
“Friend.”
“Huh~ Okay. Say hello to the director.”
“Uh. It should be Hello, Director.”
I see Yeon-joo’s sister having a conversation with the members.
She walks up to her, greets her, and looks more friendly with her eyes.
Sister Yeon Jo was skillfully managing her facial expressions, so she didn’t get a response.
We were never to be caught by anyone.
“Long time no see. How have you been? I’m glad everyone looks good.”
“There is no reason to be bad. I got an award, and now it’s a new year.”
“Airplane will grow further next year, meet more people, and be loved.”
“Haha, thank you.”
“And I heard about the station.”
“Oh.”
“Once I found out, he was thinking of passing it off as receiving the grand prize. Because good is good, because there is nothing good if you fall out with the broadcasting station. You must have known about it and stretched out, but I plan to meet with the director separately and talk.”
Yeonjoo sister with the director of the broadcasting station?
The director wasn’t even the dog’s name, to her surprise.
“Is that okay?”
The members seemed to be very sorry for me, so they were attracted to Yeon Joo’s words.
But since I received the grand prize, I didn’t want to make this a big deal.
“I’m fine, sir. It’s already over, so why bother bringing it out again?”
In response to my words, Yeon Joo-sister spoke quite sternly.
“I am not fine. This was also an act of ignoring our company. Personally, I’m close with the director, so if I talk about it, he’ll probably get angry too. It was because one producer made noise in the work that the superiors decided and finished. I will definitely get an apology from the perpetrator.”
“Hmm… All right. Thank you for caring me.”
The company’s sister-in-law, how far are you going to be competent?
“It’s not something to be thankful for, it’s something we’re sorry about. Because I was incompetent in the work that the company was supposed to do, I couldn’t handle it properly and left the responsibility to you.”
I guess I’m kind of angry.
“I’m only saying this to you, but the CEO knows about this. Since it was the end of the year, he didn’t say anything to the staff, but he was very angry.”
The representative?
“The CEO really cares about his artists.”
After saying that, he shows a meaningful smile, and when Woo-yeon sees that smile, he flinches as if he was scared.
“We need to talk about that and talk about the party.”
“Ah… It’s a party.”
I think I’m going to tell you that I decided to learn social manners before going to the party.
“At first, we will all enter together, but over time, we will disperse. So, one of them has to be the face of the airplane next to me. It means you have to act as my partner.”
“Partner… !”
“Something seems difficult just by imagining it.”
Anxiety flashes across the children’s faces.
It was obvious that she would have a lot of trouble at the party if he became her partner.
First of all, her sister-in-law herself is not comfortable, and the person she will meet with her will be very uncomfortable.
“Who can speak English?”
“Unfortunately, Eun-kyu is barely good at it, but Hae-sol and I are good at it. Kyeong-tae hyung and Jun-i are not very good at it, but they can communicate.”
“Are there any members who are a bit ambitious? People who are hard to see will come. Building a good relationship will definitely be of great help to you. I want someone with that kind of ambition to be my partner. Even if English is a bit poor, I can interpret for you, so there will be no problem.”
It seems that I would rather look at ambition than language proficiency.
Moving around at a party as her partner is not usually difficult.
It was also a rare opportunity to give to those who lacked determination.
“I want you to tell me your honest feelings without being burdened. It would be really hard to be my partner. If you want something, I think you can endure it.”
Is it because Yeon Joo-sister threatened in advance that it would be very difficult?
Woo Yeon-i and Nam-gyu Nam were the first to announce that they were giving up.
“I will abstain.”
“I’m sorry too, but I have no idea.”
“How are the other friends?”
Kangjun then shook his head, and Kyungtae gave the opportunity to someone else as well.
However, when there was no one who wanted to do it, he left the word that he would do it himself.
I think it’s because he’s a big brother, so he has a sense of responsibility.
In a situation where everyone was refusing, the only ones left were Jackie and me.
Actually, it was best if one of us did it.
Being able to communicate with the language is to reduce the burden on the performer sister.
“Jackie, tell me honestly. I want to? If you don’t want to do it, I’ll do it.”
“Your brother will do it again? How long do I have to hand over my luggage to my brother? I will do it this time.”
I don’t think I’m going to do it because I’m ambitious like Yeon Joo said.
“I can do it. The director told me not to force it.”
“I am not forced to do it. All the attendees there are great people. It would be nice to make a kite. I am very interested in composing and producing. Making connections will help.”
Jackie hardens his heart.
“Sir, I will do it. I think it will be comfortable because I will be able to speak the language and put less pressure on the director.”
“Okay. Then, Jackie, match the clothes with me and put them on.”
“Yes.”
“And there is something I want to ask the rest of the members.”
“Please speak.”
“If you are at a party, there will be many people approaching you. It’s because I have no choice but to open my eyes a lot. To be honest, you might get some pretty nasty offers.”
“…”
“…”
There was no one who could not understand the true meaning of what Sister Yeonjoo was referring to.
“I hope you don’t fall prey to temptation. Don’t underestimate your own value. And while it would be nice if it was simply tempting and over, it could also be intimidating. In that case, don’t overcomplicate it and tell me.”
“!!”
“Tongue, a threat?”
The members frantically roll their eyes.
“Also, don’t drink alcohol from people you don’t know. A bad person could have been drugged there. If you drink this and that and then lose consciousness and wake up, you will wake up on a bed you don’t know.”
“… !!”
The shock deepens on the faces of the members.
After that, Yeonjoo’s older sister’s warnings and advice continued.
If you get hit there, there is no answer.
Even if you get angry because of unfairness, the agency can’t solve it.
“Then what should we do?”
“The only thing that protects you is yourself. Keep your mind straight, and don’t get carried away by fussing about people around you saying they’ll float you up. They are ready to devour an innocent, ignorant lamb.”
The mentality of the members collapsed at Yeonjoo sister’s bloody warning.
Yeon Joo went back saying she had work.
The aftermath she left behind was no joke.
The members couldn’t escape the shock for several hours.
“I’m scared.”
“Let’s stick together and don’t leave our party.”
“Hwa, how about going to the bathroom together?”
“You want to go to the bathroom there?!”
“I think I’m going to get tired because I’m nervous…”
“Then let’s all go together.”
“OK.”
The only way the members found out in shock and fear was to stick together.
I don’t know if that will turn out the way I want, but it’s pretty cute to see the kids trembling, so I laughed.
‘No way something really happened.’
If something really happens, I will step in and stop it.
‘Maybe it’s a good thing that Jeki became Yeonjoo sister’s partner.’
It seemed that we should not let go of tension at the party so that the flesh of the lambs would not be eaten.
